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

"Offended a lot of people? I didn't say that. What does it have to do with me?

When you spread the news, don't be so obvious.

Just let the people play their own roles.

Anyway, in the end, I will report the names of those who participate in the auction in the newspaper and then publish it nationwide.

Don't they want fame? I will give it to them. As long as they pay,

This king is also planning to build several more hospitals and hospital buildings in nearby provinces next year."

Li Shen didn't care at all. If he offended someone, he offended him. Ever since he was a doorman in a nursing home last time, Li Shen had been thinking about it for several days.

He felt that Li Shimin wanted him to offend people that time.

Li Shen had actually thought about this a long time ago. As long as he offended more people, naturally no one would support him.

The smaller the threat to the throne, the safer he will be.

He had scolded his ministers several times, but that was all a few years ago.

Nowadays, many powerful forces have emerged in the court, many of whom were promoted by Li Chengqian.

I have to offend him again.

"Should we build some orphanages as well?" Wang Xuance asked immediately.

Li Shen shook his head:

"It shouldn't be necessary. It's been several decades since the end of the Sui Dynasty. Now the country is at peace, the people are safe, food is plentiful, and there are no wars.

There shouldn't be many orphans. Even if there are some whose parents have both passed away, there are such places in various government offices across the imperial court.

Nowadays, most of the patients are people who cannot afford medical treatment and the elderly who are left over from that time.

Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Goguryeo three times but failed, and many of his men were buried in a foreign land. "

The tyranny of the former Sui Dynasty killed at least half of the population.

"Your Highness is merciful. I was inconsiderate. I just don't know if those people will be willing to spend money this time."

"This requires us to deceive... to influence them.

Man is inherently good at birth, and I believe that these noble aristocrats must be kind and charitable people.

They certainly don’t want to see the people suffer, and they will certainly donate generously when the time comes.”

Li Shen had a pious look on his face. He wanted to influence the world and make those nobles willingly pay money.

Wang Xuance had already begun to feel sorry for those nobles. Their prince was always eyeing other people's pockets, so what good could come of it?

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

"Your Majesty is right. I will take my leave now."

"Well, go and see how those painters are doing. You must paint according to what I say. After this, I will teach them a more advanced painting technique.

Whether we can make money depends entirely on them.”

When Li Shen thought of this, his eyes began to light up.

"Yes, I'll go and take a look right away." Wang Xuance agreed and walked out.

“Haa ...

Li Shen yawned and stretched.

"I am sleepy. Please take a nap with me. We can have dinner when I wake up."

After saying this, he led his people back to the back house.

~~~~~~~~

At this moment, Li Chengqian was sitting in the study in a daze. Ever since Li Shen left, Li Chengqian had no interest in reading memorials.

"We are of the same root, why are we so anxious to fight each other?

Don't you still give up?"

Li Chengqian murmured, with a trace of sadness on his face.

He was made the crown prince at the age of eight, and it has been twenty years now, going through all kinds of ups and downs, just to sit in that position.

Ever since he became regent, he realized how hard this position was.

Even so, he still worked hard and tried to do a good job.

What he didn't expect was that even though he was already half a step away from becoming emperor, some people still refused to give up.

"Someone, go to the Dragon Temple."

Li Chengqian stood up, gave an order, then left the study and headed for the harem.

At this time, Li Shimin was also sulking.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is requesting an audience outside the palace."

"Brilliant?" Li Shimin was stunned, then he immediately thought of something and couldn't help cursing:

"This bastard,

Let the prince come over."

The shrewd Li Shimin knew without hesitation that the rebellious son must have already found the crown prince.

It's not enough for her to come to me to complain, she also has to go to the prince to stir up trouble.

"None of them is worry-free, they are all rebellious sons." Li Shimin couldn't help but scold.

After a while, Li Chengqian was taken to the Shenlong Temple. After tidying up his clothes outside the temple, Li Chengqian walked in.

"My son greets you, Father." Li Chengqian stepped forward and saluted.

"Well, come and sit down." Li Shimin nodded.

Li Chengqian walked over and sat down without saying anything. He was waiting for his father to ask questions.

Li Shimin did not speak either. He was waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, and the scene immediately became a little quiet.

After a long while, Li Shimin sighed:

"Hey~~~ Did Lao Shi go to your place?"

"My dear father, my tenth brother just left not long ago." Li Chengqian replied.

"What Lao Shi said may not be true. You also know that Lao Shi likes to lie and is full of tricks."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"But I believe it. Old Ten may exaggerate, but he won't confuse right and wrong. And I feel that Old Ten is indeed a little scared."

Li Chengqian still had a respectful expression.

Li Shimin was speechless. He also believed it, but he couldn't let his two sons become enemies. Otherwise, he was worried that his brothers would kill each other after his death.

"Don't blame him. I have already sent Wang De to punish him. Don't bear a grudge against him."

Li Shimin had no choice but to persuade him.

"Don't worry, I won't bear a grudge against him.

I just heard about what happened to my tenth brother in Xizhou Prefecture. If this matter were to be used by someone, it would probably be disadvantageous to my tenth brother.

Especially colluding with the leaders of barbarian tribes, oppressing the people, and colluding with local officials, these crimes are too serious.

I came to ask Aye what to do if someone takes advantage of the situation to cause trouble."

Li Chengqian stood up, bowed and asked for advice.

Li Shimin looked at his eldest son, who looked very much like him and was much more mature and stable than before.

He does things neither impatiently nor rashly. If it were in the past, I would have definitely gone to his place and made a big fuss, but now he is so calm.

This made him very satisfied.

"This matter has nothing to do with Lao Shi, you can ask them to produce solid evidence later.

This is not the first or second time they have impeached the Tenth Master. It is impossible to bring him down without solid evidence.

I have already written a note to Guo Xiaoke, asking him to keep his mouth shut. When the time comes, you can order the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to go to Xizhou and let them investigate it themselves.

It was just a manager under Prince Ji's mansion who did something evil. He has been executed, so it's not a big deal.

Fine him ten years' salary and confine him to his home for a few months."

Li Shimin said it lightly.

“But, from what Tenth Brother said, there is someone behind this who wants to harm him. If the person behind this fabricates evidence, Old Ten will have a hard time defending himself.

Er felt that this matter was of great importance and it was extremely important to investigate and punish the person behind it.

Moreover, the Western Turks are now eyeing our Tang Dynasty covetously, and the Anxi Protectorate is the first to bear the brunt. I wonder if this is a strategy of the Western Turks.

They intend to stir up the people's dissatisfaction with the court and incite them to rebel, which will cause chaos in Anxi.

Then we can take advantage of the opportunity and capture Anxi Protectorate."

I bought a new keyboard, but that one is broken. The two are different, so you can compare them.
