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

"Just let the servant go. I still have something to discuss with you."

Just as Li Shen was about to leave, Li Shimin stopped him.

Li Shen wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Shimin's expression, he swallowed his words back.

He had no choice but to take Li Shimin into the Protectorate. The place had already been cleaned, there were birds singing and flowers blooming in the garden, and fish were swimming in the pond.

The whole thing is like a painting.

This was the most unlike a protectorate that Li Shimin had ever seen. It looked like a luxurious mansion or a villa.

"Aye, this courtyard is a side courtyard of the Protectorate. The main courtyard is on the east side, and the officials of the Protectorate all work there.

There is a street in the middle, which makes it safer.”

After coming in, Li Shen began to introduce.

"How could the side hall be so much bigger than the main hall? Who would believe that?"

Hearing Li Shen's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but mutter something.

When Li Shimin first arrived, he also saw that what Li Shen called the main hall only occupied a corner of the side hall.

Then he started to take everyone around and assign sleeping quarters.

"You two should go back first and do whatever needs to be done. I have something to discuss with Old Ten."

Li Shimin said something to Li Tai and Li Zhi.

The two looked at each other. Although they didn't understand the reason, they still bowed and retreated with the others.

"Ah...Ah...Aye, if you have anything for me to do, I will do my best to accomplish it."

Li Shen's seventh sense told him that the current situation was not good.

"Haha, haha, there is nothing wrong, but I have some doubts. I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Ji can help me solve them?"

Li Shimin sneered and looked at Li Shen.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. If you have anything to ask, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing his father's smile, Li Shen's heart trembled.

"Then tell me, where is the hermit Sun Wukong you told me about living in seclusion?

Is it Kunlun or Dongsheng Shenzhou? "

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with a playful look and asked.

When Li Shimin first saw the name Sun Wukong, he almost exploded with anger.

Although he still had a glimmer of fantasy, he finally faced the reality and realized that he had been deceived.

"Well...well, there should be a Dongsheng Shenzhou in Kunlun Mountain."

"You bastard, you still dare to talk nonsense after all this? Then tell me again, why does my Seven Treasures Pill taste the same as the pills you gave to the Queen and Concubine Wei?"

Li Shimin became angry when he saw that Li Shen was still quibbling.

"Aye, do you think it's possible that because it tastes good, you added some ingredients to improve the taste?"

Li Shen asked cautiously.

"Haha, do you think it's possible that these two kinds of elixirs are the same kind of elixir? Tell me, which of these two possibilities is more likely?"

"Then...then...then maybe what Aye said is more likely." Li Shen replied with his head down.

"Then what else do you have to say? You actually..."

Li Shimin's anger level increased. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Li Shen suddenly clapped his hands and said:

"Ah~~~ I know, it must be that Indian monk who deceived Aye and tricked Aye with the fake Seven Treasures Pill.

Then I absconded with the materials Aye bought. That must be it.”

Li Shen nodded heavily, confirming his statement.

"Li Shen! Do you think I am a three-year-old child? I have already investigated and found out that the pills you gave the queen and the others were all made by Dr. Sun from the Medical College.

Doctor Sun also said that no one else had made this recipe except him.

How did the Indian monk get the pills?"

Li Shimin shouted angrily.

"This...this...this is all a misunderstanding." The truth was revealed, or in other words, it was clear that Li Shen could no longer argue.

"Haha, misunderstanding? You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor. Come, bring us the family rules." Li Shimin ordered with a sneer.

"Family rules? When did our Li family have family rules?" Li Shen muttered.

But Li Shimin heard it and said coldly:

"Humph, I didn't have it before, but I have since I had you."

Soon Li Shen saw Wang De walking towards him with a vine-like object.

Shit! Li Shen's heart trembled. Is he going to beat himself to death?

Li Shen suddenly had the thought of running away.

"Someone, take down Prince Ji."

Before Li Shen could run away, Li Shimin had already taken the lead and had people capture Li Shen.

"Aye, what are you doing?" Li Shen struggled.

"Get a bench." Li Shimin ignored Li Shen and continued to give orders.

There’s no need to be so professional, Li Shen smiled bitterly in his heart.

After the bench was brought, Li Shen also saw clearly what the family rules in Wang De's hand were.

It turned out not to be a rattan stick, but a ruler that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The handle was woven with vines, and the widest part was as wide as a palm, about three feet.

"Come here, put him on it." Li Shimin waved his hand.

The guards prepared to take Li Shen over.

"No, Aye, listen to my explanation, this is a misunderstanding."

"Aye, spare me, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time."

"I admit it. I admit everything. Why don't you ask?"

Li Shen struggled desperately, throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground, resisting with all his might.

I used all the strength I usually put into breastfeeding.

Li Shimin waved his hand again, and two more people came up, carried Li Shen over and handcuffed him to the bench.

"Aye, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Li Shen begged for mercy with tears and snot.

"It's too late. Today I will let you know what family rules are and what respect for elders and juniors is."

Li Shimin took the board from Wang De's hand and walked step by step to Li Shen.

“Aye, I…ah~~~~~~~~~”

With a "bang", Li Shen screamed in agony. The sound was so miserable that it echoed throughout the Protectorate.

This scream scared both Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei. Could it be that she was crippled by His Majesty?

"You bastard, why are you yelling when I haven't even beaten you yet?" Li Shimin shouted angrily with a livid face.

"Huh? Didn't he hit her?" He clearly heard a snapping sound just now.

When I tilted my head, I saw that Li Shimin was hitting his own hands with a board, making the sound.

It’s over. I was too devoted to the performance just now.

“Bang!” “Ah~~~~”

When Li Shen was thinking about how to explain, Li Shimin suddenly hit him on the butt with a stick.

This time it was a real blow, and Li Shen cried out in pain before he even had time to breathe.

"Clap clap clap!"

He wrote down a series of them again, and Li Shen didn't even have a chance to catch his breath before he started screaming again.

Li Shen secretly regretted in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have secretly put something under it.

"Ah~~~Aye, spare me~~~~I was wrong~~~Ah~~~"

Li Shen shouted and begged for mercy, but Li Shimin turned a deaf ear to him and hit him several more times.

(When I wrote this, it reminded me of my childhood, when I had a complete childhood with branches, belts, rolling pins, shovels, whips, etc.)
