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

"Thank you Aye."

Li Shen hurriedly saluted, dealing with the officials and Guo Xiaoke Li Shen did not care.

As long as you don't miss any of your own things, it's fine.

If he really did it, it would not be unfair for Li Shen to be punished.

But this has nothing to do with him, it was all done by Wang Wencheng, and in the end he has to take the blame himself. Li Shen will definitely not be willing to do that.

He also wondered how Wang Wencheng, a nobody, could have such great abilities.

"Well, now that we have finished talking about this matter, let's talk about the next thing."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Next thing?"

Li Shen was stunned. What else did he have to do?

"It's the poem you just said in Liangyi Hall."

Li Shimin had a serious look on his face.

"Poetry, what's wrong with my poem? Aye, it's just nonsense."

"Nonsense? Do you know why I enshrine pictures of emperors of all dynasties?

This is to highlight the emperor's status and show respect for imperial power.

But you actually talked nonsense and called the emperor's name directly, which is a great disrespect to the imperial power.

You are a member of the royal family yourself, how come you don’t know this?

Although Liu Bang and Emperor Wen of Sui are no longer with us, you cannot defile him like you have done.

You know your sin."

Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to imperial power, and for this reason, they also respected any emperor.

Even if it is the emperor of a hostile country, he can only be killed, not humiliated.

Li Shen actually used his name in such an unbearable poem, which is obviously a blasphemy against the imperial power.

Li Shen only realized at this time that he just wanted to take the opportunity to scare Changsun Wuji.

I didn't expect to get myself involved.

"Father, I have great respect for the princes of past dynasties.

How dare I blaspheme?

It was just to intimidate the three officials.

If this is disrespectful, please forgive me."

Li Shen bowed and explained.

"To shock the three dukes?"

"No, no, no, it's not a deterrent, it's... a reminder. Yes, it's a reminder."

Li Shen quickly changed his words.

"In my opinion, you are referring to someone, and this person should be Duke Zhao."

Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Aye, you can't say that. I just said what I felt at the time. If there is anything wrong, I hope Aye will punish me."

Li Shen would never say that he was targeting Changsun Wuji. After all, the queen was still alive, and Li Shimin would definitely take care of the Changsun family.

"I know what you mean, but you are not yet a match for Duke Zhao. Don't do meaningless things in the future.

Now even the prince is no match for him, let alone you."

Li Shimin advised that this was also a kind of protection for Li Shen.

After all, Changsun Wuji has great power and has recommended many officials to power over the years.

Li Shen is alone, isolated and without any help. How can he be a match for Changsun Wuji?

"Yes, I remember it."

Li Shen bowed again and expressed his gratitude.

My father is finally nice to me. The two hundred thousand strings of cash are not wasted.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has ordered that the meal is ready and you can eat now."

Just then, a maid reported at the door.

"Got it." Li Shimin stood up and stretched his muscles.

"Let's go, use perfection, and get out of here."

Li Shen curled his lips. Just now he thought that the father was kind and the son was filial, but it turned out to be all an illusion.

But there's nothing I can do about it, after all he's my dad.

Following Li Shimin to the dining hall, the family sat together.

"How are your preparations for the ceremony going?"

At the dinner table, Li Shimin didn't say anything else but started talking about his coming-of-age ceremony.

"Replying to Aye, we are preparing it, it should be ready soon."

Li Shen replied.

“I heard that you have been distributing candles and red cloth to the people.

You have bought all the candles within a hundred miles.

Now Chang'an City is brightly lit at night, just like the New Year's Day.

What is your purpose in doing this?"

Li Shimin asked curiously. He asked Wang De to pay attention to the movements of Prince Ji's Mansion, fearing that Li Shen would cause trouble.

Therefore, Li Shimin knew every move of Prince Ji's Mansion.

Li Shen was very casual, and replied while eating:

"Father, I don't have any purpose, I'm just happy. It's almost the New Year's Eve anyway, so it's better to put up the lanterns and decorations a few days in advance.

This will also allow foreign merchants and merchants from various countries in the Western Regions to see how prosperous our Tang Dynasty is and how the people live and work in peace and contentment. "

"Shen'er is right. Now that the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, leaving their doors open at night.

This is all thanks to Your Majesty."

Empress Chang Sun praised with a smile.

"Guanyin, this is all thanks to the officials. I just did what I should do.

Only in this way can we live up to our ancestors. "

Li Shimin was somewhat modest.

"By the way, speaking of our ancestors, Old Ten, have you finished writing the sacrificial text? If it is ready, let me check it for you."

Li Shimin suddenly thought of the punishment of copying and hurriedly asked Li Shen.

"Aye." Li Shen was about to cry.

"Father, I haven't finished writing yet. Father is too strict this time.

It's a bit difficult for me to allow for typos but not to make corrections. "

Li Shen answered truthfully.

"There are only a thousand words in total, and you haven't finished copying them yet? How many days has it been?"

Li Shimin was a little surprised. It had been almost half a month, and he hadn't finished writing a thousand words.

Either this rebellious son is lazy and doesn't like to write, or this rebellious son is hopeless and has problems with his hands.

“Erlang, this is Shen’er’s first time writing like this, so it’s understandable that he writes a little slowly.

Shen'er, take your time and finish it before the coming-of-age ceremony."

Empress Changsun, who was standing by, spoke for Li Shen.

"Thank you, mother."

Li Shen stood up and thanked excitedly, finally someone could understand him.

"Humph, you are ignorant and unlearned. Back then, I asked you to study hard and leave the palace at the age of fourteen. But what about you?

He left the palace when he was just over nine years old and didn't even go to the Imperial College.

Otherwise, the handwriting wouldn’t be so ugly.”

"Aye, that's cursive script, wild cursive script, it's my own style."

Li Shen said proudly.

"Bullshit cursive script, your handwriting is just ugly." Li Shimin said disdainfully.

Li Shen was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, but he didn't dare to do so. If another fight broke out among the three of them, he would be in danger of survival.

Seeing that Li Shen didn't say anything, Li Shimin was satisfied and continued to warn:

"This coming-of-age ceremony concerns the royal family's reputation. I warn you not to do anything that would damage the royal family's reputation.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for asking for family discipline.”

The ceremony was not originally planned to be so grand, but Li Shen arranged it in advance with such fanfare.

Let all the people in Chang'an city turn their attention here.

If Li Shen failed the exam, Li Shimin would want to strangle him to death.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I heard that you built a nursing home in the woods in the east of the city, not far from the medical school.

Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others rented courtyards there.

Please prepare one for me too.

I will go somewhere to recuperate in a few days and stay with those old officials for a few days."
