Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen is actually an ordinary person, or to put it bluntly, just an ordinary citizen.

Li Shen really knows nothing about politics.

All the conspiracies and intrigues were too profound for Li Shen.

The biggest intrigue he had experienced in his previous life was how to eat without paying the bill.

As an ordinary citizen, he had never even met a city-level official. How could he understand the layout of the entire country?

If you can't even run your own business, how can you come up with any conspiracy or trickery?

All these years, Li Shen relied on were the memories of his past life and the hindsight thinking accumulated over thousands of years.

People say that Li Shen does things in a simple and rough manner, but that's because he doesn't understand strategies.

The simplest solution Li Shen could think of was to kill all forces opposing Li Chengqian in the name of treason.

Afterwards, he took his family out to sea to other places to seek his own way of life.

Li Shimin looked at the smile on Li Shen's face and felt uncomfortable. He shook his head and said:

"This won't work, there are many other ways, you don't have to be so extreme.

I won't die for a while, I will handle everything, and I don't need you, a rebellious son, to do these things."

Li Shen chuckled and spread his hands.

"Okay, since Aye is here, it's not my turn to do it. I'll just enjoy my life and not let this identity down."

"Humph."

Li Shimin snorted and leaned back to take a nap.

Li Shen looked a little embarrassed. "No, it's better. I don't want to do it yet."

Isn't it good to enjoy your life? That is the last resort.

“After I return, I will ask the Grand Historian to calculate an auspicious day based on your horoscope and hold a ceremony to crown you.

I should have been crowned a long time ago, but things have been delayed this year. Now it is only two months before the New Year.

We must hurry up. I estimate it will be in half a month. The location will be in the Imperial Palace, and all civil and military officials will be present at that time."

Li Shimin said with his eyes closed.

"This... is so urgent."

Li Shen almost forgot about his coming-of-age ceremony.

He hadn't experienced this either.

"It's urgent, are you planning to have the coming-of-age ceremony next year?

We are so close to Yuanzheng, so we should be more anxious."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Shen.

"Well... then, should I make any preparations?"

Seeing his father's eyes, Li Shen swallowed back the nonsense he was about to say.

"I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare this matter, and let the chefs from the Flavor House come to the palace to help with the banquet.

You shouldn't need to prepare anything else.

By the way, as for etiquette, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to teach you the etiquette for the coming-of-age ceremony.

Wear the prince's crown as formal attire, there's no need to make special clothes.

I will let the Ministry of Rites inform you of the rest."

After saying this, Li Shimin continued to close his eyes and rest.

"Congratulations, His Royal Highness Prince Ji, for finally getting the crown."

Wang De said with a smile.

"Tsk, I have already reached adulthood, I just haven't held the coming-of-age ceremony yet, what's there to be happy about?"

Li Shen replied disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, the coming of age means you have reached adulthood."

Stone explained.

"Humph, what's the point of becoming an adult? Ordinary people still have to do corvée and collect taxes when they become adults.

There is no difference between this king being an adult or not."

After saying that, he leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shen was gently awakened.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have arrived at Chang'an City."

"Huh? Are we here?"

Li Shen rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found that Li Shimin had also woken up.

"Father, I will not go to the palace with you. I will go back to the palace first."

Li Shen cheered up and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, be quiet when you go back and don't cause trouble again, or you'll be grounded for a year next time."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes, I will follow your instructions. I will take my leave now."

The carriage stopped, Li Shen got off and stretched.

Finally, he no longer had to be so restrained, and he really wanted to shout, "I'm free."

In a happy mood, Li Shen hummed a little tune and prepared to walk back home. He hadn't been out for a stroll for more than a month.

"Old Ten."

Li Shen's little tune was stuck in his throat, and before he could sing it, he was startled and turned around quickly.

"Aye, what else do you want me to do?"

Li Shimin lifted the curtain and threw something to Li Shen.

Li Shen subconsciously caught it and found it was a dagger.

It's the dagger that I just used to cut the watermelon.

"I give it to you. I will have someone send a carriage to your house later. Remember, I want the best."

"Thank you for the reward, Father. Don't worry, I will make the carriage look brand new."

Li Shen quickly thanked him.

Li Shimin lowered the curtain, Wang De shouted to return to the palace, and the carriage moved slowly forward.

Li Shen was playing with the golden dagger in his hand. He really liked the style of the dagger, it was quite cool.

"Hehe, not bad, today's visit was not in vain.

Let’s go back home.”

Li Shen chuckled and walked towards Prince Ji's mansion with a dagger in his hand.

Qinrenfang, Prince Ji’s Palace.

When Li Shen walked back to the gate, he found several people and a carriage at the door.

From a distance, it looked like someone was still kneeling in front of his door.

Li Shen was a little puzzled. Why did someone come to his palace to seek justice and file a complaint?

Surrounded by guards, Li Shen slowly approached. Several people at the door also saw the commotion here and looked over here.

"May I ask if this is His Royal Highness Prince Ji?"

A man came over and bowed deeply from a distance.

The man was about thirty years old, dressed like a scholar, holding a paper fan, and looked very elegant.

Li Shenyi frowned. He didn't know him.

"It is this king. What can I do for you?"

Li Shen wondered if he was here to complain in a hurry.

When they heard that it was Prince Ji, the other grandfathers came up behind him and bowed to him.

"See His Highness Prince Ji."

"No gift."

Seeing the other party's polite attitude, Li Shen felt that there should be no danger, so he brought his guards to approach them.

"Who are you?"

"Your Highness, I am a descendant of the Wang family of Langya, the third oldest in the family, and my name is Zhengli."

This man was none other than Wang Zhengli, the third son of the Wang family, who came with Wang Wanqing to ask for forgiveness.

"Langya Wang Clan?"

Li Shen pretended to think about it and shook his head.

"I don't have any impression, what exactly do you want to see me for?

This king is very busy, with so many things to do every day, so he doesn't have the time to waste his breath on this."

Li Shen had already seen Wang Wanqing kneeling at his door.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I am here with Wang Wanqing to apologize to you, Your Highness.

Wanqing has offended Prince Ji’s Mansion before, I hope His Royal Highness Prince Ji can let my Wang family go.”

Wang Zhengli bowed and asked to come in.

"Apologize by carrying a thorn stick on your back? Your Wang family is a big family, why would you come here to apologize by carrying a thorn stick on your back?

Besides, I have no grudge against you, let alone letting you go.

You guys better go back.”

Li Shen was about to walk inside after he finished speaking. How could he resolve the situation so easily? How could he take the money?
