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

Li Xin was overjoyed to hear his father's words. As the son of a prince, he seldom went out.

There is no leisure and entertainment except reading and writing every day.

Li Tai was very strict in disciplining Li Xin. Li Xin was the eldest son, although not the legitimate eldest son.

But Li Tai was not treated differently just because he was a bastard's son.

"You should get closer to your uncle in the future. He has money, so if you run out of money, you can ask him for it.

When your father passes away, you can also seek protection from your uncle."

Li Tai said as he looked at his eldest son.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean by 'I have money'? It's as if your Prince Wei's Mansion has no money.

Besides, it won’t be my turn to be protected in the future, as my elder brother is still sitting here.”

Li Shen felt a toothache when he heard Li Tai's words. Is it wrong for him to be rich?

At this time Li Chengqian poked Li Shen, and Li Shen looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhi and Li Shen understood immediately.

Li Chengqian wanted him to invite Li Zhi's children.

Although Li Shen didn't want to, Li Chengqian indicated that he had no choice but to do it, so he said to Li Zhi:

"Brother Jiu, can we let Li Zhong and the others go tomorrow as well?"

Li Zhi now had four children. Li Zhong was the eldest son, born to Teng Liu, the second son, Li Xiao, born to Teng Zheng, the third son, Li Shangjin, born to Teng Yang, and the fourth son, Li Sujie, born to Teng Xiao.

Li Zhi also has an eldest daughter who is three years older than Li Zhong. Her name is Li Xiayu and she is ten years old this year.

In total, Li Zhi had five children.

Li Shen himself only has four.

Li Zhi turned to look at Li Shen, and after a long while he nodded and said:

"I'll send someone over tomorrow."

Li Shen nodded. More than ten children were enough. Li Shen also hoped that his children would have some playmates.

They are all cousins, there is no difference in status, and they can play together.

As the banquet was drawing to a close, Li Shen stood up and walked to Li Shimin:

"Your Highness, the Ice and Snow City will open tomorrow night. I would like to invite my thirteenth brother to go with us to play. I hope Your Highness will grant my permission."

"Oh, that city is finished? I heard it's well built, and it lives up to its name.

Well, since you are willing, let Li Fu go. " Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Father. I will send a carriage over tomorrow." Li Shen saluted.

"I hope Prince Ji will take good care of Fu'er." Concubine Yang on the side saluted.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of you, my thirteenth brother." Li Shen also returned the greeting.

The banquet ended just like that.

A group of people walked out of the palace, Li Chengqian and Li Shen walked side by side.

Li Shen was still thinking about the opening of the park tomorrow. He felt that these dozen people were not lively enough.

But Li Shen, his cousins ​​and brother-in-law, didn't want to play with them.

If all else fails, why not notify Cheng Chuliang and the other playboys?

"Tenth brother, I have something to tell you." Li Chengqian suddenly spoke while walking.

Several people looked at Li Chengqian together.

"Brother, you guys chat. Zhinu and I will go ahead." Li Tai was very tactful and pulled Li Zhi to leave.

"Qingque, there's no need to be like this. It's not a big deal." Li Chengqian stopped the two of them.

The two men then stopped, they also wanted to hear what Li Chengqian had to say to Li Shen.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's like this, Xiang'er is already eighteen years old, and I want to send him to Yucai College for some training.

I wonder what you think? "

Li Chengqian glanced at his son beside him, then said to Li Shen.

Li Shen was stunned at first. No one from the royal family had ever entered Yucai Academy. Probably no one except Li Chengqian had ever been there.

There are still some children of royal family who are admitted to school.

As the authentic fourth generation of the emperor, Li Xiang can actually enter or not.

However, Li Shen also understood Li Chengqian's meaning. Li Xiang was born out of wedlock, and he would be given a fiefdom in the future.

Now he is eighteen years old and has not yet gone to his fiefdom. The main reason is that Li Chengqian has not yet succeeded to the throne.

Li Xiang is now a prince and has no fiefdom.

When Li Chengqian became emperor, Li Xiang was naturally promoted to prince and demoted to the local area to serve as a local governor or a governor-general.

There is no difference from their generation.

That's why Li Chengqian wanted to give Li Xiang some training so that he could make a career in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Shen nodded:

"Then wait until school starts next month. I will notify them and make arrangements.

But Xiang'er, you must be prepared to endure hardships. Your father has been there before, and it was very hard and tiring."

"Uncle Shi, don't worry. I heard from Aye that as a man of the Li family, this little bit of suffering is nothing."

Li Xiang said confidently.

To be honest, Li Xiang's physical fitness is much better than that of his uncle.

The two men are two years apart in age. Li Shen is half a head taller than Li Xiang, but his body is obviously not as strong as Li Xiang.

Li Shen was also puzzled. They all fought on horseback, so why couldn't he beat them?

"Tenth Brother, I also want to send Xin'er to Yucai." For some reason, Li Tai also interrupted.

Li Shen turned his head and thought, why are you joining in the fun?

Although Li Xin is also the eldest son of a concubine, don’t you know your own identity?

However, Li Shen couldn't say it to his face, so he could only say it in a tactful way:

"Fourth brother, please wait another two years. Xin'er's bones are not fully grown yet. Going to Yucai for training will be too intense and will not be good for Xin'er's health.

It won't be too late for Xin'er to enter school after she turns 18."

"Okay then." Li Tai nodded. Li Shen was very authoritative in medicine and many of his opinions were approved by Dr. Sun and the Imperial Medical Bureau.

For example, regarding the idea of ​​women having children later in life, Li Shen proposed that women should give birth after they are 18 years old. Giving birth too early is bad for women's health and will shorten their lifespan.

Second, the delivery is risky and prone to dystocia.

After research by the Imperial Medical Bureau and Dr. Sun, it was discovered that this was indeed the case. Many women died of illness in their thirties or forties.

What they have in common is that they gave birth prematurely and had more than one child.

The example of the Queen was fresh in his mind, and Li Shimin agreed with it.

However, Li Shimin did not issue a decree for fear of affecting the population growth of the Tang Dynasty.

Only the upper class nobles knew about this statement, and most of them did not believe it.

Since Li Shen said that Li Xin is too young to go, that shouldn't be wrong.

"Bang~~~"

As soon as the four brothers walked out of the imperial city gate, they saw a flash of fire exploding in the sky in the distance, followed by a colorful display.

"Tenth brother, your fireworks are truly amazing. I've asked you for them many times but you never gave them to me. How about you give me some this time?"

Li Chengqian looked up at the sky and asked leisurely, with a hint of resentment in his tone.

I asked Li Shen for it several times, but Li Shen refused to give it to me.

"One thousand strings of cash each. I'll send you as many as you want, brother." Li Shen also looked up at the fireworks exploding in the sky.

"One thousand strings of cash for one? You are too mean. I am your elder brother." Li Chengqian retracted his gaze and looked at Li Shen.

Even Li Tai and Li Zhi were a little surprised. This thing is good, but it will be gone after being used once.

Putting down one thousand strings of cash, Li Shen must be crazy about money.

Both of them looked at him with contempt.
