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

Li Shen, who had disappeared in the early morning for more than half a year, appeared at his place early today. Although Li Shen’s tables and chairs have become popular,

However, the previous court still followed the etiquette system, kneeling and sitting according to rank, and separating civil and military officials.

Most of the ministers went to court together, but Li Shen arrived early and waited alone in the main hall.

When the morning court began, the ministers who came in one after another all gave a meal to Li Shen in unison.

I don’t even know if the sun is out in the west today, why does this man still go to court in the morning? Many people think it’s a lively day today.

Last time this man went to court, he got rid of the second-in-command of Yushitai. Who will suffer today?

Especially the officials of the aristocratic family, after seeing Li Shen, they couldn't help but reflect on themselves and think about whether they had done anything to offend Li Shen recently.

At this time, Li Shen was sitting upright, closing his eyes and concentrating, giving the impression that he was preparing for battle.

This makes a lot of people a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty is here~~~" Following Wang De's loud chant,

Li Shen's body trembled, then tilted, and almost fell down.

The ministers were all speechless. It turned out that this guy was sleeping just now.

When Li Shimin sat down and saw Li Shen, he was also stunned. This son would not make trouble again.

Immediately afterwards it was time for court affairs. Li Shen just sat there on his knees with no expression on his face and did not express any opinions. This gave the hall a different atmosphere.

And as the court meeting slowly progressed, this aura made some people feel depressed inexplicably. They were all wondering what the purpose of Li Shen's visit today was.

Who offended Li Shen, or who was Li Shen planning to deal with?

Especially the officials of the aristocratic family. Li Shen was attacked by the Tibetans in Tuyuhun not long ago. They wondered whether Li Shen would come because of this incident.

Even Fang Xuanling and other senior officials noticed subtle changes in the hall.

When the court meeting ended, as Li Shen slowly stood up, the tense atmosphere kept rising. Everyone looked at Li Shen.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling behind Li Shen all felt that today's matter should not be taken lightly.

Li Shimin, who was sitting above, also felt the change in the atmosphere below. Looking at his son who slowly stood up with a serious face, Li Shimin also looked solemn.

He felt that something big must have happened to Li Shen.

And as Li Shen stepped forward and bowed deeply to Li Shimin, the depressing and tense atmosphere had reached its peak, as if a volcano was about to erupt, and everyone was praying that the next thing would not have anything to do with them.

"Aye, I have a request, and I hope Aye can grant it." After giving a deep bow, Li Shen remained expressionless.

"Come on." Li Shimin replied.

"It's my mother's birthday in a few days, and I want to hold a birthday banquet for my mother. I hope Aye can do it."

After Li Shen finished speaking, the scene was silent for a while. Everyone seemed to have stopped in time, and the serious expression on Li Shimin's face seemed to be frozen.

"........"

After a while, all the ministers fell down.

"@#￥%#￥#" Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde didn't know what they were mumbling.

Even the always steady Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others rolled their eyes.

"You bastard, this is the court. You can't wait until the next court to discuss family matters like this in the harem. This is the court, is this the time to talk about this matter? Come here, take me out and beat you ten times with a stick, and you will be fined. Two years."

Li Shimin roared. He was almost mad at Li Shen. His feelings had just been in vain. He was ready to help Li Shen vent his anger. No matter who he was, he would at least be dismissed from office.

But who would have thought that Li Shen would actually say this.

The ministers were also troubled by Li Shen. Many of them were glad that this was not their son, otherwise their lifespan would have been shortened by ten years. Sooner or later he will be pissed off.

"Huh? Huh? Don't pull me, Aye. Do you want to be beaten to twenty without punishment? The palace of Aye is about to beg for food."

Li Shen was pulled out by the guards like this. No matter how hard Li Shen struggled, Li Shen could only scream while struggling,

Li Shen felt very regretful now. He originally wanted to say something before going to court and then go back home. Otherwise, he would have to wait until the next court to go to Liangyi Palace, which would waste more time.

Unexpectedly, he made Li Shimin angry and lost two years of salary. There were only two years left, but it was almost dawn.

Li Shimin acted as if he didn't hear what Li Shen shouted, and it didn't take long for Li Shen's voice to be heard.

"Ah~~oh~~ah~~oh~ah~~~oh~oh~~~ah~~~~oh~~ah~~~" (It is recommended to listen to the book to be more immersive.)

There was a snapping sound outside.

Soon Li Shen limped in,

"Aye, I'll give you a beating and a punishment. I'm going to organize a birthday banquet for my mother and concubine..."

"Your Majesty, the state has national laws and the family has family rules. Originally, this matter was your majesty's family matter, but since His Highness Prince Ji brought it to the court, it is not a family matter.

The minister boldly advised that since Zhenguan, His Majesty has been considerate of the people's sentiments, set an example, and has always been diligent and frugal. He has never even hosted a birthday banquet for His Majesty and the Queen. If the Imperial Concubine had a birthday banquet,

It is not in line with His Majesty's purpose of diligence and frugality, and it is also suspected of going too far. Therefore, I do not recommend holding a birthday banquet for the imperial concubine. "

No one thought that Cui Renzhi would stand up and object at this time. Even if Zheng Jingsi, Lu Chengqing and others on the side gave him a wink and told him not to come forward, he still chose to stand up against Li Shen.

In fact, Cui Renzhi has always been resentful of Li Shen because of Wang Weiqi's affairs, and Li Shen's tea, wine, paper, and books industries are highly overlapped with those of the Cui family.

Now that the Cui family's property has shrunk by more than [-]% to nearly [-]%, how can Cui Renzhi not hold a grudge?

Li Shimin above did not speak, but glanced at Cui Renzhi, and then at Li Shen.

That means you deal with him yourself.

Li Shen's teeth were itching with hatred.

"Cui Yushi, are you a hot soul?" Li Shen said this, which made Cui Renzhi stunned.

"I have a golden destiny. I find that you are trying to defeat me."

"I don't understand what His Highness said."

"Cui Yushi, I spent my own money on the birthday banquet for my mother-in-law. What do you have to object to?" Li Shen was a little surprised. He didn't spend money from the treasury.

"I believe that Your Majesty has always been diligent and thrifty as a role model. His Majesty should follow His Majesty's example and should not make a fuss. This goes against His Majesty's purpose of being diligent and frugal." Cui Renzhi said seriously.

"Then I ask you, why don't your Cui family follow suit? Your old lady held a birthday banquet, but a lot of people came." Li Shen said with a playful smile. This is not a secret. Everyone with dignity in Chang'an knows it.

"It was a family dinner, but my Cui family has a large population." Cui Renzhi seemed very proud when he mentioned this. After all, the family is prosperous.

"Then what you said makes sense. It's appropriate for the family to gather together to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Cui." After hearing this, Li Shen nodded to express his agreement with Cui Renzhi's point of view.

But he added another sentence.

"Then you say that all the people in the world are members of my Li family, do they count as one family?"
