Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Most of the time, things don't go as planned, but there are only a few that you can talk about with others.

Li Shen stroked his cat with empty eyes. The life he wanted was so simple, it could be summed up in four words: return home in glory.

But for these four words, I struggled for ten years in the Tang Dynasty.

But there are always some people who are jealous of me, regard me as a stumbling block, and want to get rid of me as soon as possible.

But I can't appear too tough. If I am too tough and kill people decisively, people will be afraid of me.

But it will also make the emperor wary.

But if I show too weak, those people will think I am easy to bully and become even more aggressive.

I am just an ordinary person, without any political acumen or great wisdom.

For ordinary people, time travel is a dangerous thing in itself.

"Oh~~~~It would be great if there was a system." For more than ten years, Li Shen has been brooding over this matter.

How can I be considered the chosen one since I traveled through time? Why is it different from what is described in the novel?

Sometimes he even felt like God had chosen the wrong person.

Just as Li Shen was daydreaming, the door was pushed open again and Wang Xuance came back.

Seeing Wang Xuance coming back, Li Shen almost asked, "Did you leave your phone here?"

"I've met the prince."

"Well, why are you back again? Is there anything else?" Li Shen asked.

"Your Majesty, I have always had a guess in my mind. I always feel that something is wrong. I can't say more just now. I want to talk to Your Majesty alone."

Wang Xuance told the truth.

"Well, you all can go out." Li Shen hummed and waved at Shitou.

The maids who were serving all went out, and Shitou closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.

"Go ahead." Li Shen stood up, picked up the tea and took a sip.

“Your Majesty, today’s events are somewhat different from what we speculated a few days ago.

After we received the news a few days ago, we guessed that it was that person who did it.

But today, people speculated that the person behind the scenes wanted to frame the prince and silence him.

There is some conflict between the two.

I have thought about it for a long time and feel that, as Your Highness said, if the person behind the scenes wanted to kill and silence people in order to frame Your Highness, the local government would not have failed to report it to the court.

Guo Xiaoke is a Duke and a founding hero. He is highly regarded by Your Majesty and is loyal to Your Majesty.

I believe that Guo Xiaoke would not do such a rebellious thing.

Therefore, I judge that only that person could have done it, and the whole thing makes sense. It also explains why Guo Xiaoke did not report it to the court.

I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Wang Xuance spoke out all the doubts in his heart in one breath. When he received the news from the northwest a few days ago,

Wang Xuance and Li Shen discussed this, and after discussion they reached a consensus.

They all thought that the whole thing would only make sense if the person they guessed did it.

Otherwise, many things cannot be explained.

But after hearing what Wang Xuance said, Li Shen fell silent. It's not that he had not thought about this question.

He was unwilling to believe this result.

He didn't believe that the man would frame him in this way.

But what Wang Xuance said was reasonable, and only that person could make a duke shut up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Seeing that Li Shen didn't say anything, Wang Xuance called out twice.

"Well, Xuan Ce, what you said makes sense. That person is indeed a big suspect, but...but..." Li Shen really wanted to say that he couldn't harm himself.

But I can't say it.

Seeing Prince Ji's loss and melancholy, Wang Xuance comforted him:

“Your Highness, there is actually another possibility, that person might have killed the man, but he didn’t intend to harm Your Highness.

Maybe he just wanted to protect the prince.

It’s just that someone else might have seized this opportunity.”

"Hmph, protect me?" Li Shen snorted lightly, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Xuan Ce, you don't need to comfort me. You and I both know the reasons.

Let's just wait and see if anyone will talk about King He in a few days.

Also, send someone to check the information of those who attended the court this morning to see if they are all related to the aristocratic families.

The aristocratic family suddenly jumped out like this, making me wonder if they are also involved in the Northwest incident. "

Li Shen didn't show any nervousness about being framed, and looked nonchalant.

"Yes, I will send someone to investigate." Wang Xuance bowed and accepted the order.

“Also, send someone to Japan to inform Di Renjie to speed up the construction of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps.

If you don't have enough people, just recruit some more. They are very cheap anyway and you don't have to pay them much.

Let our fleet carry more food, as we have too much old grain collected from the court.

The school also needs to be expanded. I will go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to send a group of envoys and scholars there in the name of the court.

All laborers must go to school to learn the culture and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. They must learn the writing and language of the Tang Dynasty.

How about this, let Di Renjie establish a hierarchy for the workers. The newly recruited workers are low-level, the workers who can communicate normally are middle-level, and the workers who can listen, speak, read and write are high-level.

Divide the wages by level, let Di Renjie decide based on the actual situation, and just report the result."

Li Shen also issued arrangements regarding Japan.

Wang Xuance wrote them down one by one.

"Your Highness, there's nothing else to do. I'll take my leave now." Wang Xuance stood up, saluted, and then walked out.

Li Shen also stood up, put on his clothes and continued to head towards the City of Ice and Snow.

Lantern Festival, also known as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is also known as the Shangyuan Festival and the Lantern Festival.

"Historical Records·Book of Music" says, "The Han people worshipped the Taiyi God from dusk to dawn."

The day before or after the Lantern Festival, the government ordered the curfew to be lifted, and everyone was allowed to go out on the streets, with the streets and alleys decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.

The court would also set up some light trees for the people to enjoy.

The temples, Taoist temples and streets in Chang'an City were all brightly lit, and there were crowds of people everywhere, making it extremely bustling.

While enjoying the lanterns, people will also sing and dance to celebrate the festival and pray for a good harvest next year.

Several rivers in Chang'an city became gathering places for releasing lanterns. The banks of Qujiang River were crowded with people, and everyone held a lantern and released it into the river.

Lanterns represent people’s hope and yearning for a better tomorrow.

In addition, there are various entertainment activities throughout the city, singing and dancing is just one of them. Guessing riddles, building clusters, welcoming Zi Gu, offering sacrifices to the silkworm god, performing acrobatics, etc., make the Lantern Festival more colorful.

The streets and alleys are bustling with people, thousands of young girls and young women are pouring into the streets, and countless young talents are showing off their talents.

Countless unmarried men and women are taking this opportunity to find their true love, and of course countless people are also secretly meeting with their lovers.

Li Shen believed that the Lantern Festival of the Tang Dynasty was the real Valentine's Day. Some people went there to seek their destiny, some had secret meetings with lovers, and some even had affairs with rebellious lovers.

This is a grand event, an event that is sufficient to prove that the people are healthy and live and work in peace and contentment.

(These are basically the various customs of the Lantern Festival. I won’t go into detail about the lively scenes.

Otherwise, some people say that this king’s water writing says that the Lantern Festival can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. It was established by Emperor Wen of Han and expanded to a national festival during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Anyway, it’s very lively, ha ha, very lively.)
