I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen chatted with Zhao Tiejun for a while and learned that his mother was not seriously injured and was just a little frightened. Only then did Li Shen feel relieved.

But he still cursed the Tibetans.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty may be a little angry, so Your Majesty should be more careful and think of a countermeasure as soon as possible."

Zhao Tiejun thought about it and said at the end.

"Angry? Why should you be angry? I have the merit of saving the emperor." Li Shen said indifferently.

Isn't his father angry enough? Didn't he come here just to cause trouble for him?

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has punished Manager Li to feed the horses and pour out the night incense. He has already come all the way." Zhao Tiejun said softly, then quietly retreated.

"No way?" Li Shen opened his mouth in shock as he watched Zhao Tiejun retreat. Is this the end?

What was the reason? Shitou was someone close to him, and his father actually punished Shitou. It showed how much hatred he had for him, and it had already affected the people around him.

"Why is this happening?" Li Shen sighed to the sky.

~~~~~~~~

"Manager Li, have you finished feeding the horses?"

When Shi Tou heard someone asking him a question, he couldn't help but raise his head and take a look at the person who came.

"Meet Steward Wang."

Seeing that the person coming was Wang De, Shitou put down the brush and bucket in his hand.

"Butler Wang, the horses have been fed and I am brushing them for Your Majesty." She pointed to the brush and bucket on the ground.

"Alright, it's enough to just show your appreciation. From now on, you will feed His Majesty's horses, and let the servants feed the others.

You don’t need to brush this girl anymore in the future, just watch the servant brush her.

You guys, why don't you get rid of your girlfriends?"

Wang De spoke to Shi Tou kindly with a smile on his face, and then he gave instructions to the eunuchs behind him.

"Master Wang, this is unacceptable. How dare I disobey your Majesty's order?

Your Majesty asked me to do this as a punishment. If Your Majesty knew that I was lazy, it would cause trouble for my prince. "

Shitou quickly refused. It was okay to do some work, but he couldn't cause trouble for his prince.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. You have just suffered an unexpected disaster and have been implicated by your prince.

This is a punishment for your prince, it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal."

Wang De patted Shitou on the shoulder and stood up for him.

It also reminded him of what happened that day, and he found it funny.

That day was the day of the rescue. When the battle was decided and the guards began to clean up the battlefield, His Majesty remembered to ask about Prince Ji.

At that time, Shitou was wearing Li Shen's armor, riding on a little white dragon, and walking slowly from a distance.

After hearing Li Shimin's loud roar, Shitou was so scared that he quickly dismounted from his horse.

At that time, Li Shimin really thought that this was Li Shen, and wanted to scold him, but Shitou ran over and knelt down in front of Li Shimin with a plop.

This scared Li Shimin.

The armor was hard to begin with, and Shi Tou was kneeling there, standing on his own, unable to bend down to salute, which looked very strange.

Then Li Shimin saw Shitou lift up his mask and shouted:

"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, and I beg you to forgive me."

Li Shimin stared at the stone blankly, and after a while he asked angrily:

"Where is your prince?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is guarding an important city in Qinghai, and tens of thousands of Tibetan troops are approaching the city."

Stone answered bravely.

Li Shimin was so angry. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he had been told earlier that Li Shen did not come, Li Shimin would not have been so angry.

But he was a little touched when he saw Shi Tou, but it was not the rebellious son who came, which made him somewhat disappointed.

"When you came, did that rebellious son have anything to say?" Li Shimin asked.

"When I came here, the prince ordered that the safety of the imperial concubine and His Majesty must be ensured at all costs.

I also specially sent out the prince's personal guards with secret weapons in case of emergency."

Shitou said as he took a small iron ball from his waist.

Li Shimin recognized at a glance that this was the grenade developed by Li Shen.

This thing is a top secret of their royal family. So far, only the crown prince has seen it. Li Shimin once instructed Li Shen.

This thing is not allowed to be used unless it is absolutely necessary, even if it causes a few more deaths.

The purpose is to keep it confidential. The fewer people who know it, the higher the confidentiality.

I didn't expect that this time, in order to save the emperor, this rebellious son would even use this secret weapon.

It seems that this rebellious son is quite good.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face. After all, it is a good thing that his son is filial.

"Okay, get up. You are loyal to the Lord and have made great contributions in saving the Emperor. I will reward you later."

But Shitou didn't get up. Instead, his body suddenly trembled, as if he was afraid.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing this, Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something else to say."

At this moment, sweat had begun to appear on Shitou's forehead, and he kept complaining in his heart, thinking how nice it would be if the conversation could end now.

Isn't it that the father is loving and the son is filial, and the family is happy?

My own prince is hovering on the brink of life and death, and he also asked me to say this. Isn't this asking me to die?

But the prince has already given instructions, and if I don’t tell him when I go back, I will still be blamed.

"What did that rebellious son tell you to say?"

When Li Shimin saw the appearance of the stone, he knew it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise why would it scare people like this.

"Say...say..." Shi Tou hesitated.

"What did you say?" Li Shimin shouted.

"Yes, yes, the prince asked me to thank Your Majesty." Shi Tou said quickly.

"Thank me?" Li Shimin was stunned.

"Yes, the prince asked me to thank your majesty, saying that someone came to report not long ago that the one million copper coins entrusted to them by Prince Ji's Mansion to transport were robbed by thieves.

Not only did they rob them of their money, but they also captured the people they were transporting. His Royal Highness Prince Ji was very angry.

However, news later came that His Majesty encountered the gang of thieves on the road and helped the prince get the money back.

So when the prince came, he asked me to thank your majesty for helping Prince Ji get his lost possession back."

Shitou said this reluctantly and then looked at Li Shimin quietly. He was close to Li Shen and knew everything clearly.

He knew exactly what happened to the one million strings of cash.

It would have been fine if Your Majesty had just stolen the money, but I didn't expect Prince Ji to have been thinking about it all the time.

Before leaving, he asked me to pass on a message, telling me that I must tell His Majesty in person.

When Shi Tou heard what Li Shen was going to say, he was almost scared to death. This was like pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth.

Li Shimin's expression changed from a smile at the beginning to a frozen one, and finally to a gloomy one.

"Humph, I don't know what you mean, I just picked up some money on the road.

These are all ownerless things.”

In the Song Dynasty, it was called Mu Ma Zi, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was called Gong Tong.)
