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

The news that the three princes were punished at the same time quickly spread in the court.

In Li Shen's words, there were no secrets in the court, and the speed at which information spread even surpassed that in the market.

No one knows why Li Shimin did this?

All we know is that before this, Prince Ji Li Shen entered the palace.

Then news came out that three princes were punished.

Many people speculated that this matter was related to Li Shen. Could it be that these three princes had done something to make His Majesty angry?

In the end, the three of them might end up fighting, and His Majesty would be a little angry.

Li Shen felt that it must be these two guys who had implicated him.

Li Shimin was angry about something and wanted to punish these two bastards, but he himself was implicated.

Punished him by the way.

This made Li Shen very angry. Why? Why didn't he implicate them when punishing himself?

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. You don't have any salary anyway, so just punish me."

In the bedroom, Lu Dingniang and several women were comforting Li Shen.

Li Shen was holding the imperial edict and cursing all the way from the front yard to the back yard, scaring the servants in the front and back yards so much that they wished they were deaf.

People say that Prince Ji is bold and reckless, but he shouldn't be so arrogant, right?

How bold of you to criticize Your Majesty in broad daylight.

Even Lu Dingniang and other women were frightened and pulled Li Shen into the room, ordering them not to tell anyone.

"Humph, it's not about money. This king has never cared about money. This king has no interest in money at all.

What I care about is the matter itself. I have been treated like a fish and was affected.

This is really outrageous. What's so great about being a father? Can being a father just mean no reason at all?

Does power mean you can do whatever you want?"

Li Shen put his hands on his hips and walked towards the direction of the imperial palace without giving in.

Lu Dingniang and the other women wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, because they knew that they were implicated in Prince Ji's anger.

If he were punished and the other two princes were implicated, Prince Ji would not be angry even if the punishment was ten times heavier.

Even celebrate.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. It doesn't matter whether it has any impact on you or not. You can go out anyway whether you are under house arrest or not.

Whether he is fined or not, the prince will not receive any salary.

I have calculated for Your Highness that it would be possible for Him to receive a salary only after He reaches the age of forty.

Now it’s just another three years.”

Wu Meiniang pulled Li Shen to his seat and comforted him softly.

"What did you say? You can only receive your salary after you turn 40?"

Li Shen was no longer calm. He was only 20 years old now. After 40, he would have to live for another 20 years.

"Yes, this is just my rough estimate, and some may be missed." Wu Meiniang nodded.

“Impossible, how could this king not receive salary for such a long time.

Since the tenth year of Zhenguan, I have had no salary. Now it is the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, and it has been twelve years.

Add another twenty years, that means I have been deducted thirty-two years’ salary?

This king has not even lived for thirty-two years yet."

Li Shen was shocked by his own heroic act, and without realizing it, he had his salary deducted for 32 years.

Millions of strings of cash, just gone like that.

Li Shen suddenly felt like crying.

"Your Majesty, it is at least thirty-five years of salary, because there are also three years from today."

Wu Meiniang struck again.

Not to mention Li Shen, even the other women present were stunned.

Lan Yuer, Chunxiang and Dongmei have followed Li Shen the longest, so they know all this.

But it was the first time that Lu Dingniang, Liu Ruyan, Su Xiaoxiao and others knew about it.

In the past, only Lu Dingniang knew that her husband had made a mistake and had his salary deducted.

I thought it was deducted for one year, but it turned out that it was not deducted for the second year.

She has been married for four or five years, but there has been no result. She is still wondering how many years her husband has withheld her salary.

After hearing what Wu Meiniang said, Lu Dingniang estimated that she might not be able to get the salary from Prince Ji in this lifetime.

"Thirty-five years, thirty-five years. Doesn't that mean that if our Ji Wang Mansion falls into ruin, everyone in the Ji Wang Mansion will starve to death?"

Li Shen himself was a little uneasy. Some things really couldn't be calculated in detail. Once calculated, they became terrifying.

"Don't worry, my dear. Even if Prince Ji's mansion falls into ruin, I won't starve to death. I still have a salary."

Lu Dingniang came over and took Li Shen's hand to comfort him.

It would have been fine if he hadn't been comforted, but once he was comforted, Li Shen almost cried.

"My dear, how can you support our whole family with your little monthly salary?"

"My dear, at least you won't starve to death. I have 800 dan of rice as an allowance. It's enough for everyone in the mansion to eat."

Lu Dingniang seemed a little proud.

Her salary is much higher than that of her father Lu Shuang.

But compared with the expenses of Prince Ji's Mansion, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

Li Shen demanded an extremely luxurious life, and he probably spent the eight hundred stones in just two meals.

Just like when the richest man in Dubai sees someone earning one million RMB a year, he can only say that the salary is okay.

But hundreds of thousands of US dollars might really be just for showing off.

Li Shen touched Lu Dingniang's hand and was quite moved that there would actually be a day when he would have to rely on a woman.

“No, we must not let this happen, I have to find a way to get some money.

I cheated him out of four million strings of cash, and he's just trying to make up the difference now.

I won’t let him succeed, I want to make money.”

Li Shen suddenly slammed the table.

"But sir, we are already making money, how else can we make money?"

Wu Meiniang was a little confused.

Is Prince Ji going to add to his assets again?

"We can..."

Li Shen was about to speak when Shitou pushed the door open and walked in:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Wait, how did you get in just now?" Li Shen asked.

Shi Tou was stunned, not understanding what Li Shen meant.

"I just...just walked in."

"Which leg did you step in with first?" Li Shen immediately asked, pointing at the stone.

Shitou stared at Li Shen blankly, and after a long while he replied hesitantly:

"It seems to be the left leg."

Li Shen was immediately furious and slammed the table.

"How dare you! Since ancient times, the left has been respected. How dare you, a lowly servant, come in with your left leg first? Do you want to rebel?

The penalty is six months.

Tell me, what's the matter? "

"Ah?" Shi Tou was stunned. This was too far-fetched. Wasn't this robbery?

As one of the people who knew Li Shen best, Shi Tou knew without hesitation that it was obvious that Prince Ji wanted to use his own salary to make up for his deducted salary.

"What? I just detained you for half a year, and I still gave you another half a year."

"Then... then I thank the prince for his grace."

Shitou cried, this is too bullying, after robbing me of my money he still asked me to thank you.

"See? We can still make money this way." Li Shen turned around and said to Wu Meiniang and others.

The women were speechless. They all felt a little embarrassed. Isn't this blatant robbery?

"Okay, what were you going to say?"

"Your Highness, Manager Wang sent someone back to say that we will arrive in Chang'an City tomorrow."
