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

Wang Hongfu bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, I have already made all the arrangements, and the cattle and sheep that were just slaughtered have been delivered.

Various spices, vegetables, and charcoal utensils have also been placed.”

"Well, that's good. I've brought the servants here. I'll let them deal with it later. It's not just those playboys who are coming today.

There are also some descendants of the royal family who cannot make any mistakes.

Rengui, send people to guard the surroundings and don't let any strangers get close. Send guards inside to be dispatched at any time to prevent any accidents."

Especially with Li Chengqian's children, Li Shen had to be more careful.

"Yes, I obey your command." Xue Rengui stood up quickly.

"Then go get ready, someone will be here soon."

Li Shen waved his hand and the three of them walked out.

He sent someone to pick up Li Fu and Li Xin in the morning, and Li Zhi said he would deliver them himself.

"Shi Tou, have someone clean up all the rooms in the manor and make them warmer. These people will stay here at night."

Li Shen instructed Shitou again that the city gates should be closed early in the evening to watch the ice lanterns.

Although there is one day left before the curfew is lifted, the city gates will not be opened until the time is right. They will be closed and will not be opened no matter who calls for them.

Fortunately, Li Shen’s manor is big enough and has enough rooms, although they are not the master bedrooms where he lives.

But they are not small, especially with the heated kang, which can accommodate many people.

Not long after, a servant reported that a playboy had arrived.

The first to arrive were naturally the brothers of the old Cheng family. Cheng Chusi did not have to be on duty today, so there were four brothers including Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi.

Yuchi Baoqi, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yizhi, Fang Yiai,

There were more than a dozen people in total.

Li Shen asked his servants to find a warm room for them to wait in. There would be an opening ceremony when everyone was gathered.

The playboys arrived one after another, but Li Xiang from Li Chengqian's family and Li Xin from Li Taijia's family were nowhere to be seen.

Li Zhi's family and Li Fu were not there either.

Li Shen was somewhat puzzled. Did he have to be so grand and be the last one to appear?

Am I not older than all of you? I have come, and you are still delaying.

It was almost noon, and more than sixty playboys had come. The rest were either in the court or had gone to work in local places and could not come back.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time is almost here." Shitou reminded.

The park opens today, and Li Shen went to Li Chunfeng early to calculate the date.

This is not feudal superstition, it is just a way to comfort yourself.

"Then let's get ready. When the auspicious time comes, we'll start. We won't wait for them. These little bastards actually stood me up.

When I get back, I will beat them to death."

Li Shen said angrily that it was only natural for an uncle to beat his nephew.

The only ones who had a close relationship with Li Shen were the children of the Duke.

Lao Cheng’s family, Yuchi Jingde’s family, Fang Xuanling’s family, Tang Jian’s family, and Qin Qiong’s family.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, would you like to wait a little longer?" Cheng Chusi asked.

After all, there was a prince who didn’t come, as well as the prince’s son, the future prince.

"No need. How can you delay my auspicious time? If you don't come now, you may never come."

Li Shen shook his head.

After a while, Li Shen stood up and called more than sixty dandies to prepare to leave.

"Report~~~~Your Majesty, a large number of troops are coming from afar, about five miles away."

Just then, a guard ran in to report.

"A large number of troops?" Li Shen was stunned. Where did the large number of troops come from?

"Send scouts to investigate immediately and report back quickly." Li Shen ordered immediately.

"Report~~~~Your Majesty, we have found out that the large number of troops are your Majesty's guard of honor."

Li Sheng had just finished giving his orders when another guard ran in to report.

It seems that Xue Rengui immediately sent people to investigate the situation after receiving the news.

"Your Majesty!! What is he here for?" Li Shen was a little confused.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words." Tang Shanshi who was beside Li Shen reminded.

There are so many people here, and Li Shen’s words just now seemed a bit disrespectful.

"Oh, that... everyone, come with me to welcome His Majesty." Li Shen finally reacted and immediately changed the subject.

A group of people came to the outside of the manor in a mighty manner, and saw a huge team coming towards them from a distance, with at least two thousand people.

The flags fluttered in the wind and the cavalry led the way.

"Um... Cheng Chusi, why does it look like it's you, my father, who's leading the way?" Li Shen carefully identified the person.

I feel like the one leading the way is Cheng Yaojin.

"I think so too." Cheng Chuliang interrupted.

"Hey? Do you think the guy driving the carriage is the Duke of Zhao?" he suddenly asked.

Li Shen immediately identified him again and found that he really looked like Changsun Wuji.

"The person leading the procession seems to be my father." Tang Shanshi also spoke from the side.

"My Aye is here too."

"My father was actually holding the shaft of the cart."

Immediately, a group of playboys started talking at once, and many of them found their fathers among the procession.

"What kind of formation is this? I can't understand it." Li Shen was also confused.

"According to the current procession, it should be a grand procession, but the number of people is wrong, and there are no musicians in the procession. It should be ten small processions."

Zhang Gongjin's son Zhang Daxiang explained to Li Shen.

The emperor came, with the dukes and ministers leading the way, the general accompanying him in the carriage, and the minister of carriage driving.

However, the emperor's arrival requires a ceremonial guard of at least 5,000 people, which seems to be a considerable number of people.

Just as Li Shen and others were studying the strange formation, the team had already approached.

"Welcome Your Majesty."

More than sixty people followed Li Shen and saluted in unison.

Li Shimin got off the car and came to Li Shen and others.

"Your Majesty." Everyone saluted again.

"No need~~" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Seeing Li Shen's confused look, Li Shimin was so happy.

"Tenth brother, are you surprised?" Li Shimin couldn't help but say.

"Yes... a little bit." Li Shen nodded.

"Aye, um...Aye, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that the City of Ice and Snow was opening? After much thought, I decided to come and support you." Li Shimin smiled happily.

"Then...then..." Li Shen pointed at the old officials behind Li Shimin, meaning what were they doing here?

"Of course I'm here to support you." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ji, this old minister has come here specially to support you." Cheng Yaojin walked over with a big grin.

Following behind him were Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji and other veteran ministers.

Li Shen scratched his head, he felt a headache. He didn't invite Li Shimin yesterday because he was afraid of this.

"Well, Aye, these are all toys for children, you are old, I'm afraid you won't like them.

How about this, I will arrange it now, Aye will take you to the nursing home, it will be nice to eat meat and drink wine."

Li Shen had already seen Li Fu and Li Xiang shivering in the corner, and they followed him.

He also saw the three brothers Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi, but these people did not come over.

"What? You don't welcome me, Old Ten!" Li Shimin asked with a stern face.

(I looked up the information again today. The emperors of the Han Dynasty had a much grander travel spree. Their escorts alone numbered 10,000 cavalrymen.

The Tang Dynasty was actually not small. There were thousands of musicians alone, and at least five thousand guards in total.

I go out alone and have to drive myself.)
