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

"Snapped!!"

After Changsun Wuji and others left, Li Shimin slammed the table hard.

"How can this be possible? It's obvious that they want to see my attitude."

Li Shimin said angrily,

I don't know who he is talking about.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the Dragon Palace and rest for a while?"

Wang De stepped forward to comfort her.

He could see that His Majesty was really angry.

"I'm not tired yet, Li An, immediately send someone to investigate the Wuwei who patrolled near the East Palace last night.

And all the people from the East Palace who went out today.

What happened last night is known to the whole city today. Someone must have leaked the information.

Find this person for me."

Li Shimin said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."

Li An immediately took the order and retreated.

Seeing Li Ang go out, Li Shimin sat there in a daze, thinking about how to solve the problems of the people.

If this happened to him, Li Shimin could ignore it because he was the emperor.

Just give it some guidance.

Over time, the rumors will naturally dissipate.

During the more than 20 years of the Zhenguan period, there were disasters every year, and every year there were rumors among the people that he was not worthy of his position.

But he never cared.

But this time it’s different, the prince is not the emperor yet.

The prince is now in need of prestige the most, and this incident will also become an excuse for rebellion in the future.

At least it is a fact that Donggong was struck by lightning.

But how to do it?

Li Shimin was at a loss. Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to plug is the gap.

Wang De saw his master's worried face, thought for a moment and stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Nine Dragon Cup is broken. Didn't Your Majesty ask me to go to His Royal Highness Prince Ji to get another one?

I will go now. Your Majesty, do you have any message for me to convey?"

Li Shen is Wang De's magic weapon. Whenever Li Shimin is sad, angry or in a bad mood, he can use Ji Wang Shen to change Li Shimin's mood.

Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard Wang De's words, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, and there is also that rebellious son.

You old dog can be of some use sometimes.

You must go to Prince Ji’s mansion immediately and convey my oral order. Within seven days, ask him to resolve the external issues and tell him that I am very angry now.

Give him a copy of the list of memorials submitted, and, by the way, include Gao Ji Fu's name in it.

By the way, let him make a Nine Dragon Cup and send it to the palace. He must not have a finished product, so let his own craftsmen make it.

I don’t know where he found the craftsman, but his craftsmanship is even better than that of the chief architect.

Go, and come back quickly."

Li Shimin's mood changed so quickly. After giving instructions to Wang De, Li Shimin looked relaxed.

He stood up and prepared to go back to rest. After taking two steps, he suddenly said:

"Oh, by the way, tell that rebellious son to resolve the rumors outside within seven days. I don't want the four million strings of cash that he cheated me of.

But if he can't complete it, hmm...let him handle it himself.

Let’s go to Daji Hall.”

Li Shimin snorted twice, looking very proud, then turned around and went to look for Li Shen's mother.

Wang De could only smile helplessly after hearing this. He could fully imagine what expression Prince Ji had when he heard the oral order.

~~~~~~~~~

"What did you say??"

Sure enough, when Wang De stood in front of Li Shen and conveyed Li Shimin's oral instructions, Li Shen jumped up high.

Li Shen rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the palace to have a good talk with his father.

I have just recovered and haven't had much time to rest, but you have assigned me such a difficult task and even threatened me?

It's really intolerable.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be best for you to agree to His Majesty's request, otherwise you will suffer physical pain again.

Your Majesty has been fighting on the battlefield for half his life. Even though Your Majesty is a little older now,

But to deal with you, my Lord, I don’t even need to call the guards.”

Wang De looked at the furious Li Shen with a smile on his face.

“Hey, my little hot-tempered one, do you look down on me, old king, and do you not need guards?

This king also lingers in the body refining realm every day. No matter how you look at it, this king is young and strong, full of vigor and vitality.

If you don't agree, how about we have a fight, Lao Wang?"

Li Shen was furious when he heard such a derogatory comment. Who are you insulting? Who are you looking down on?

Wang De looked at Li Shen's thin arms and legs with his sleeves rolled up and said with a smile:

"Oh, my Lord, you are young and strong, and your martial arts are extraordinary. How can this old slave be your opponent?

Even if we fight, I am no match for you, Your Majesty, in just one move."

"Hmph, you have some self-awareness. Go back and tell my father that I will take this deal. Don't mention the four million strings of cash again.

The four million strings of cash will be the reward for this time, and from now on we are even."

Li Shen snorted coldly. There was nothing he could do. He had to agree whether he agreed or not. It was an oral order, an imperial decree. If he didn't agree, he would be beaten again.

It’s only been a few days since I got pregnant, and I don’t want to be beaten by the men’s and women’s doubles again.

He was sure that if he disobeyed his mother's order, he would be beaten up by her.

He sometimes grumbled that his mother never beat him when he was a child, so why did she beat him now that he had grown up?

And I've fought several times.

"And, my lord, keep this."

Wang De took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Shen.

"What is this?" Li Shen took it reluctantly and took a look. They were all people's names.

He only knew one person among them, Gao Jifu, and had never heard of the others.

"Your Majesty asked me to give this to the prince. The people on the list submitted a memorial saying that lightning striking the Eastern Palace was a bad omen.

Your Majesty was very angry."

Wang De explained.

"Gao Ji Fu too?" Li Shen asked.

"He didn't submit a memorial, but he still made His Majesty unhappy."

"Okay, I know what to do." Li Shen nodded and put the paper away.

"Well, Your Majesty, don't make too much noise."

Wang De thought about it and reminded.

"Okay, I understand. It won't make too much noise. Just a small punishment. I understand."

Li Shen nodded impatiently.

"Hey? Why don't you leave?

You are not waiting for a reward from me, are you?

I'm telling you, my lord, I'm not happy today, so I won't give you any reward."

Seeing that Wang De had no intention of leaving, Li Shen thought that Wang De was waiting for his reward.

Every time Wang De came to Li Shen, he would give him something, but Li Shen thought money was too tacky.

Many of the things Li Shen gave could not be bought with money outside, and they were rare items for Wang De.

"No, no, there is one more thing I haven't said."

Wang De waved his hands quickly. He was just thinking about how to get the cup.

Judging from Prince Ji's appearance, it won't be easy.

"If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. The King is still busy."

Li Shen said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, one of His Majesty's Nine Dragon Cups was accidentally broken, and His Majesty asked Your Majesty to make a replacement and send it to the palace."

As he said this, he took a box from the eunuch next to him, which contained another identical cup.

This is a sample used as a template for Li Shen.

"I would like to ask, is this also an oral order?"

Li Shen took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"This... This is not an oral instruction, but..."

Before Wang De finished speaking, he heard Li Shen roar:

"Then this king is not worthy of it!!!"
