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

(On the [-]th day of the sixth lunar month, three more chapters will be added to fill in the gaps)

After a while, Concubine Yin was invited to the front hall. At this time, Concubine Yin looked haggard, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

These days, she has been running around for her son, but it is a pity that her Yin family had already killed all Li Yuan when he entered Chang'an, and all his female relatives were in Yeting.

Her brother Yin Hongzhi, the only male, was also captured together with Li You. Now I am helpless, so I can only come to ask Concubine Wei today.

"Meet my sister"

"I've met Empress Dowager De"

The two parties greeted each other with courtesy, and Li Shen also greeted Concubine Yin with courtesy. Concubine Wei enthusiastically pulled Concubine Yin to sit down and said, "Come sit down, sister. I wonder what's going on with sister."

"Poof!" Concubine Yin suddenly knelt down in front of Concubine Wei. Concubine Wei Guifei and Li Shen were stunned for a moment. Then Concubine Wei quickly stepped forward to help her

"Sister, why is this happening? Get up quickly."

"Please sister, please save my son and my brother." Concubine Yin kowtowed to the ground after speaking. In the Tang Dynasty, kneeling down and kowtowing was a great courtesy. The courtiers did not need to kneel and kowtow when they saw the emperor in informal situations.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Concubine Wei quickly hid.

"Please sister, please save my son and my brother." He kowtowed again.

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone such a big thing. There is nothing I can do."

"As long as my sister begs for mercy in front of the saint, no matter whether it succeeds or not, my sister will be grateful." Concubine Yin is actually a pitiful person. The family was gone, and she and her brother were left alone. They had some hope of finally giving birth to a son, but who could have imagined that they would rebel.

Poor parents in the world, no mother can watch her son being killed and turn a blind eye. Maternal love has been great since ancient times, no matter how big a mistake a son makes.

Li Shen looked at Concubine Yin's face with tears. As a modern person, she really couldn't remain indifferent. It also reminded him of his mother in his previous life.

"Hey" Li Shen sighed in his heart, just think of it as a reward for taking advantage of Yirenju. Li Shen believes in cause and effect, not the superstitious cause and effect cycle, but the cause and effect relationship that exists in the world.

It's like you committed a crime and were caught and sentenced. Superstitious people will call this karma. In fact, committing a crime is the cause, and being caught and sentenced is the result.

Moreover, what Li Shen has always adhered to is to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. If someone is scolded, just be scolded, and it will be regarded as the cause and effect.

So Li Shen asked, "Concubine De, you can only save one person. Who do you want to save?"

Li Shen's words stunned both of them. Concubine Yin did not expect that Li Shen would want to help her, while Concubine Wei did not expect that Li Shen would help.

In fact, Li You said it was a rebellion, but it didn't have much impact at all. It was more like a child playing house. A soldier was arrested just a few days after the rebellion.

"Empress Yin, someone must be responsible for this matter. So two people can only protect one." Li Shen was also testing. He just wanted to protect Li You. Yin Hongzhi had nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for Yin Hongzhi, Li You wouldn't be able to rebel. He just wanted to see who Concubine Yin was for. If it was because of Li You, Li Shen could give it a try. If it were Yin Hongzhi, Li Shen wouldn't care.

"As long as my son is fine." Concubine Yin made her choice after thinking for a moment. Of course she knew that her brother had instigated her son's rebellion.

Her brother no longer cares about family ties in order to take revenge on Li Shimin, so why should she care about Yin Hongzhi?

"Okay, I'll go find Aye and give it a try later. But there's no guarantee it's feasible, and at most it can save one life. Wang Jue will definitely not be able to save it." Li Shen didn't say anything.

In fact, it's just a request for mercy, it's not a big deal. Success or failure will not cause much loss to Li Shen, and it will also leave a good impression in front of Li Shimin that he understands brotherhood and family ties.

In addition, Li Shen also had an idea in mind, sending Li You to Lingnan. When his rice comes back, there will always be someone there to be responsible for promoting it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Ji." Concubine Yin was very grateful. Although Li Shen had no real power now, he was very popular with Li Shimin. Everyone in the harem knows this.

"Well, it's getting late, so I'll go now. I'll leave first, my mother and concubine." After saying that, Li Shen went straight to Liangyi Hall.

Li Shimin was in a bad mood these days. After Li You was escorted back to Chang'an, Li Shimin did not see him.

No matter how normal the relationship between son and father is, the father's mood will not be good.

He also asked the ministers for their opinions in the court, but received no response. How could this group of human beings give any advice? Do they want the emperor to kill his own son? They wouldn't say such a thing.

"Everyone, Prince Ji is asking for an audience outside the palace." Wang De interrupted Li Shimin softly.

"Let him in." What Li Shimin is most interested in now is a battle of wits and courage with Li Shen. It can be regarded as Li Shimin's little fun.

"I've seen Aye before, but I haven't seen him for many days, and Aye is still so majestic and energetic. His expression..."

"Okay, let's talk about it if you have something to say." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's flattery rudely.

Li Shen has experienced so much in his previous life, and he knows the principle of asking for help. The first thing is to say good things and flatter him. If you can't just come up and ask for help, most things won't get done.

"Yeah, it's like this. I've made a plow that can cultivate land more easily and quickly than the plows we use now. I hope it can be promoted nationwide." In fact, Li Shen started making Quyuan plows a year ago. It's just that there were too many things, including assassinations and divine beads, so Li Shen forgot about them. Just take it out this time.

"Oh?? It's faster than the current plow?" Li Shimin suddenly became interested.

"Yes, Aye, I have tried it. It is two to three times faster than a straight plow. If it is a paddy field, it may be faster."

"Two or three times? Where are the things?" Upon hearing that it was so much, Li Shimin immediately wanted to see the real thing.

"Well... I didn't bring the things, so I left them in Huangzhuang. This year, every household in Huangzhuang was given a new plow. Now they have finished planting their own land. Now they are planting land for me."

"Send someone to get it now." Li Shimin ordered

"Aye, why don't you come with me to the Imperial Mansion tomorrow to have a look. There's no way to verify it when you get it to the palace."

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed: "That's fine, I will take the ministers to Huangzhuang after tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Li Shen had no intention of leaving, he asked again: "What else can you do? I am in a bad mood. If you have caused any trouble, it is best not to let me know. If you have nothing to do, just go back. I still have to review the memorial. .”

“…”

Li Shen was actually thinking about how to speak. But when I heard Li Shimin's words, I suddenly felt bad. Did he always come here after getting into trouble? However, my father started to chase people away, so he could only bite the bullet and said directly: "Aye, I don't know how to deal with fifth brother."

"What? Do you want to plead for him?" Li Shimin's face immediately turned serious.

"I have this idea. After all, we are brothers. Besides, I have taken over someone else's Yirenju. I have to do something to take someone else's things, right?"

"You are so direct. He is guilty of treason and should be executed according to law." Li Shimin became angrier the more he thought about it.
