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

More than ten days have passed since the conversation between father and son by the stream, and Li Shimin's team finally arrived at Lingzhou Mansion.

After arriving in Lingzhou Prefecture, he started to deal with various government affairs and had no time to talk to Li Shen.

Li Shen walked around with his guards. After that conversation, Li Shen originally thought that Li Shimin would change.

But on the contrary, his father was still as strict with him as before. Sometimes Li Shen did ridiculous things and said ridiculous things.

Li Shimin would still severely reprimand him, for example, when Li Shen went out hunting privately while on the road, and led more than a hundred people into a chestnut field being harvested in order to chase a deer.

He trampled all the ripe chestnuts, and even though he lost twice the price afterwards, Li Shimin was still furious after knowing it.

After being kicked twice, he was fined for one year, and was not allowed to eat for one day.

Li Shen tried every means to explain that he had paid double the compensation, and argued that he had not broken the law.

The result was still ineffective, and Li Shen even suspected that Li Shimin did this just for his one-year salary.

This is the most expensive chestnut rice in history so far, worth tens of thousands of dollars.

But this also gave him a sense of familiarity. His father was still the father he knew, not someone else pretending to be him.

Li Shen made countless mistakes along the way, including not giving money for meals and buying and selling by force.

Li Shimin finally saw what he was like as the leader of all evils in Chang'an.

Li Shen wanted to eat mutton, and happened to pass by a village. There was a sheep from a family that Li Shen wanted to buy, but they wouldn't sell it, saying it was for his son's wife.

Li Shen did not reveal his identity, but directly sent people to rob them and threatened to burn down their house.

The male owner tried to resist and was punched twice. Finally, the sheep was snatched away by the palace guards.

But before leaving, a servant came over and arrogantly threw down three gold bars from his horse.

It's said that it's two to buy a sheep and one to see a doctor.

After Li Shen and the others left, the family took three gold bars and scolded Li Shen. If you had said three gold bars earlier, wouldn't we have sold you even one? Why don't we make such a big scene?

Afterwards, Li Shimin was very angry when he found out. There is something wrong with his son's head. Since you are ready to pay a lot of money,

Why did you grab it in front of me? Can't you just spend a lot of money to buy it? As a result, Li Shen was inevitably scolded.

Similar things happen from time to time, which makes Li Shimin feel very embarrassed.

This time he came to Lingzhou with many ministers accompanying him, but his son acted so arrogantly and domineeringly.

But what is strange is that with so many ministers accompanying him, no one came forward to impeach, or even mentioned it.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has summoned you." Wang De found Li Shen wandering around in Lingzhou City.

"Oh, I, Aye, are leaving. This place is too poor. I have visited it several times in the past few days.

I bought everything I liked and a lot of things I didn’t like. "Li Shen began to complain that it was too boring.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you for some serious business. Your Majesty, you'd better go quickly." Wang De said with a smile.

He was the one who came to deliver such urgent summons. If it were anyone else, King Ji might not even know when he would be able to go.

Arriving at Li Shimin’s temporary courtyard,

"My son, see Aye. I wonder what Aye ordered me to do." Li Shen saluted respectfully.

"King Ji, I didn't ask you to come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to accompany the king. Tell me, are there any people who accompany the king like you?

I haven't seen you for a few days? Tell it yourself. "

Li Shimin said with a serious face.

"Uh... isn't Aye busy all the time? I don't want to disturb Aye's handling of government affairs."

"From now on, you have to come here and follow me every day. If you have any opinions on political affairs, you can always tell me."

Li Shen pleaded with a smile on his face.

"Aye, you can be here whenever you want. I don't want to listen to government affairs."

Li Shimin ignored him at all.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the court." Wang De handed the memorial to Li Shimin.

"read."

"Yes," Wang De opened his mouth and read.

"Your Majesty, the nine tribal chiefs in Chile came to the table and said that Tumo Zhi was going to live in the north of Yu Dujun Mountain. They were all very afraid.

I hope your Majesty will not allow it. "

Li Shimin nodded and said:

"Indeed, there have been many memorials from the DPRK and Central Government in the past few days. They are worried that Xue Yantuo's resurgence will become the bane of Mobei."

"Your Majesty, this is not impossible. Xue Yantuo also suffered several declines, but he survived." Li Daozong also agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xue Yantuo is dead but not dead, so why not take this opportunity to eliminate future troubles." Li Ji also suggested.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said:

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Mao Gong. If Tumo Zhi surrenders, he will appease them; if he rebels, he will attack them."

"I obey the order." Li Ji accepted the order.

At this time Li Daozong stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I and General Xue have sent envoys to all the tribes. The leaders of each tribe were very happy and knelt down to request to come here to pay homage to Your Majesty.

Eleven tribes with surnames such as Huihe, Beyegu, Tongluo, Pugu, Duolauge, Sijie, Adi, Qi, Dijie, Hun, and Huxue each sent envoys to pay tribute to the court.

They said in the letter that Xueyantuo Khan did not serve a big country, was tyrannical and unjust, and was not their suzerain state. The fall of Xueyantuo would also be self-destruction.

The tribes were scattered and didn't know where to go. Some ambitious tribal leaders even attacked each other.

They are very afraid and hope that they can submit to me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that His Majesty can take pity on them and set up special management and discipline for them. "

"Hahahaha." Li Shimin laughed heartily after hearing this,

"In this case, let's pass on the decree, give their leader the seal, and send the right leader Zhonglang General An Yongshou to convey the decree."

This is what Li Shimin wants. Leaders and kings must issue edicts from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it will be illegal.

"Your Majesty, there are many tribes who also want to come to worship. I don't know what your Majesty means..." Li Daozong continued.

This time Xue Yantuo was eliminated, and Li Daozong once again led the troops as the commander-in-chief.

"Well, then let's make an order for them to come to Lingzhou on the Jiachen day of this month."

The government affairs were over, and the ministers all left one after another. Only Li Shen leaned aside and fell asleep.

"Old Shi? What do you think of what you just said?" Li Shimin asked.

In fact, nothing big happened just now.

"Aye, when all the ministries come to court, I'm worried about Aye's safety." Li Shen rubbed his eyes.

"Is it safe? I have led 30,000 Yulin Guards, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city. What danger can there be?

What I’m asking is what do you think of the tribes in Chile in the north? "

Li Shimin chuckled. He was very confident that even hundreds of thousands of troops could not do anything to him.

He just wanted to hear if Li Shen had any unique ideas about the north.

"What can you think of it? I just don't understand why Aye didn't just annex them? And let them survive."
