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

There was a "bang" sound.

The lock of the door was broken. Li An put away his knife and pushed the door open. The guards of the Hundred Cavalry Division rushed in first.

After a while, he came out to report that everything was fine.

Li Shen led the way, Li Shimin followed behind, and everyone walked into the villa together.

The place is not big and has a strong pastoral style.

The courtyard has a pavilion, a rockery, and a small vegetable garden, and the whole thing is a farm stay.

There is a thatched house in the center, which looks a bit simple and minimalist in appearance.

There is also a grape trellis on one side, with a stone table and stone chairs underneath.

There is a small fish pond around the rockery, with some small fish in it.

"It's really good."

Li Shimin exclaimed.

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ji, this is a bit biased. Our courtyard is not so exquisite."

Tang Jian looked around and couldn't help but say.

"Minister Tang, this is a VIP room, specially prepared for my father.

Apart from His Majesty the Khan, who is the supreme ruler, who else is qualified to live here?

Look at the location of this place, it is surrounded by water on all sides, and it is a place where winds and energy gather. It is a Feng Shui treasure land.

Plus, my Aye's dragon energy is here, which makes this place even more extraordinary."

Li Shen started talking without thinking, causing the others to look around.

"Your Highness Prince Ji also knows Yi Shu?"

Li Jing couldn't help but ask.

"I have studied it a little bit, a little bit. Aye, why don't you go inside and take a look."

Li Shen quickly changed the subject. He knew nothing about Yi Shu. He learned it all from watching movies.

If you ask again, he will say that to find the dragon and divide the gold, you have to look at the mountains, and each layer of entanglement is a level of difficulty.

Li Shimin nodded and Li Shen led the way.

The door also had a lock, but Li An had already broken it open.

When you walk into the house, it is completely different from the simple style outside. The entire interior is made of wooden structure, made of the finest sandalwood.

Tables, chairs and furniture are all available.

"Wow, they are all sandalwood, why are ours all oak?"

Seeing the furnishings inside, the people outside started shouting again.

Li Shen didn't care about them. It was his first time here too. After coming in, he looked around and really thought it was good.

Wang Hongfu, if you had told me earlier, should I try to keep this place?

Li Shen thought to himself.

"Well, that's right. I want this place. Wang De, when we return to the palace, have someone clean it up and bring in some new supplies.

I will come over in a few days and stay with you for a while, drink and chat, and reminisce about the past."

Li Shimin also turned around and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang De accepted the order.

"Um...Aye, can we discuss something?"

Li Shen asked cautiously.

"Tell me about it." Li Shimin was in a good mood because he got a satisfactory villa.

"Aye, can I come and stay in this courtyard for a few days when you are not here?

Of course it is borrowed, this courtyard is also Aye’s villa.

Tomorrow I will have the plaque changed to Royal Courtyard."

Li Shen pleaded, it was such a nice place, but he had never lived there for a day.

Judging from the looks of it, it should have been built a long time ago. Damn Wang Hongfu.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Shen.

Li Shen's guilty eyes were wandering.

The others also remained silent, waiting for Li Shimin's answer.

After a long time, Li Shimin smiled.

"Well, it's okay, but it still lacks some decorations. Since you want to live with me, you can decorate it."

"Thank you Aye."

Li Shen was overjoyed. As for the decoration, it didn't matter. He would live there himself anyway. If he didn't give the house to his father, he would also need to decorate it if he lived there himself.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and took another look around, especially the study and bedroom at the back.

It is spacious and bright, and you can see the river outside from the study.

One can imagine the scene when spring comes, the leaves are lush, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant outside.

After taking a walk around, Li Shimin walked out of the villa with satisfaction.

"Zhijie, after some time, when the crowning ceremony of King Ji is over, go and inform the old ministers living here. It has been a long time since we, the king and the minister, have had a drink together."

Before getting on the carriage, Li Shimin gave instructions to Cheng Yaojin.

"The minister obeys the order."

"How many people have their own courtyards now?" Li Shimin asked casually.

"Your Majesty, this place is not open to the outside world, and wealthy merchants are not qualified to enter.

So as far as I know, there are nine people here.

They are all old ministers who followed Your Majesty in the past. I don’t know if there are other people in the court.

You need to ask His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Cheng Yaojin counted on his fingers and didn't pay any attention to other people.

“Your Majesty, from my observation, there should be at least twelve people, and there are also several officials in the court.

But the lowest rank is Marquis.”

Tang Jian on the side added.

"Well, I don't like crowds, just like the old man in the Qin Palace.

I will have someone inform Zhijie when the time comes."

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this.

"Old minister accepts the order."

Cheng Yaojin saluted again.

Li Shimin got on the carriage, and Li Shen, who was thick-skinned, climbed up without waiting for anyone to call him, and walked to the periphery.

The distance must be at least two miles, so Li Shen would not walk far.

Wang De gave a command and the carriage moved slowly, with a hundred cavalrymen on horseback guarding it on both sides.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Several people bowed deeply to Li Shimin's carriage and stood up only when the carriage was out of sight.

"It happened."

Suddenly Tang Jian shouted.

"Minister Tang, what happened? I was shocked."

Yuchi Jingde shuddered with fear beside him.

“We’re under-renting our lease.”

Tang Jian's face was full of regret.

"The rent is less? What do you mean?"

Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.

"Minister Tang means that the price of this nursing home is going to increase?"

Li Jing revealed the secret in one sentence.

"Mr. Wei is right. Based on our understanding of Prince Ji, when has this young prince ever given up an opportunity to make money?

This time, His Majesty wants to spend time with us old ministers in the nursing home. Can you imagine how many people in the court want such an opportunity?

Holding a banquet in the palace and having fun in private have different meanings.

These ministers will definitely try their best to participate.

The first requirement for participation is to rent a house here and become a member here. Yes, a member.

Tang has already seen the houses here. They are so small, and there are many people but few houses. Prince Ji will definitely raise the price."

Tang Jian explained it to everyone.

"That's right, that little prince is very evil, he can do anything, he owed 3,000 strings of cash, but he actually asked for 30,000 strings of cash.

Now that His Majesty's residence is right here, how could other ministers miss this opportunity to get close to His Majesty.

King Ji will not miss this opportunity to raise prices.”

Cheng Yaojin nodded vigorously. He strongly agreed with Tang Jian's statement that Prince Ji would not give up the opportunity to make money.

"What should I do? I've only rented it for a year."
