Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 209 The elusive Li Shimin

Li Shen was startled by the sound inside and quickly entered the Liangyi Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Chengqian and an unexpected person inside - Wei King Li Tai.

"I've seen Aye, but I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him very much. Aye's complexion is rosy, and he's still like this..."

"Okay, tell me what you have to say. You should go back to the Imperial College and study hard. These are the same words every time." Li Shimin ruthlessly interrupted Li Shen's next words. He said the same thing every time, Li Shimin I will carry it myself.

"Really?" Li Shen thought, he felt something was different. But it’s still important to get down to business.

"Aye, Yirenju will open in three days. I would like to invite Aye to experience Yirenju the day after tomorrow. Aye can bring all the ministers of the court, and it will be considered a pleasure for the king and his ministers. I hope Aye can agree. "It's nothing new for the emperor to play with his ministers. Bathing together, dancing together, and singing together are considered beautiful things by literati.

It was not just once or twice that Li Shimin gave away his talents, beauties, etc. to ministers.

"Oh? It's going to open so soon. Of course I want to support my son's property. I will tell the ministers. Just make the arrangements." Li Shimin's words made Li Shen curl his lips.

Li Shen thought to himself, 'Oh, to put it nicely, you don't have a [-]% share. ’ However, he still respectfully agreed:

"Yes Aye, everything will be arranged."

"Old Shi, have you opened another business?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise. Li Chengqian had been reviewing memorials in the East Palace without going out because his legs were not healed yet. He was surprised that Li Shen had a new way to make money.

"Brother, you don't know, Lao Shi opened a brothel in Pingkangfang," Li Tai said angrily.

"Old Shi, you opened a brothel? Aren't you afraid of impeachment?" Li Chengqian asked with concern

"Brother, I didn't open a brothel. Fourth brother, who did you hear that I opened a brothel? How could a royal family do such a lowly thing?" Li Shen's expression was serious and righteous. Li You opened a brothel and no one cared about it, so why did he impeach me?

"Isn't Yirenju a brothel?" Li Tai said disdainfully.

"It used to be Yirenju, but it's not now. You'll know when Aye goes there." As he said this, he secretly winked at Li Shimin, which means you also have a share in the property, so you can speak.

Li Shimin saw Li Shen's little move and said to Li Shen, "Okay, it's not a big deal. You're here just in time, Old Ten. You also come to listen to the affairs of the imperial court and share your opinions."

"Aye, I still have something to do. Let the eldest and fourth brothers listen to the court affairs. I will go back first." After saying that, he wanted to leave. The court affairs were none of his business.

"Stop, as a prince you should listen to the affairs of the imperial court." Li Shimin said in a serious tone.

"I don't want to hear it." Li Shen blurted out this sentence without thinking at all.

Then I heard a dark voice saying: "I think you want to hear it."

Li Shen immediately realized that he had just said the wrong thing. He quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, I really want to hear it."

Next, Li Shimin asked Wang Denian to report that there was a severe drought in 26 states in Guanzhong. In fact, he didn't know why. There were natural disasters every year in the 23 years of Zhenguan.

After Wang De finished reading, he began to ask the prince's opinion, as well as Li Tai's opinion. In fact, these memorials have been approved by the three provinces and sent to Li Shimin for review.

What makes Li Shen strange is that Li Tai shouldn't be present when reviewing the memorial. Even if it's the exam, it should be Li Chengqian who is taking the exam. What is Lao Li doing? Lao Li is really hard to fathom.

"Li Shen, what do you think about this matter?"

"Brother is right, I agree with what he said."

"Li Shen, what would happen if I were you?"

"I agree with what the elder brother said, and the elder brother is right."

"Li Shen, I want..."

"Brother is right."

Li Shen didn't care what the memorial said. As long as Li Shimin asked, Li Chengqian was right. In the end, Li Shimin stopped asking him.

After reading the memorial for a full hour, Li Shimin finally said: "The northern memorial just sent, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are now fighting fiercely.

However, because the Tang Dynasty stationed troops at the border of Goguryeo, Goguryeo sent 15 troops to station at the border to prevent the Tang Dynasty from sneak attacks.

In this way, they would not be so violent against Silla. However, Silla has once again asked Datang for help. Li Shen, what do you think it should be? There is always no action, which will make Silla distracted. "

After hearing this, Li Shen didn't answer. Instead, he mouthed to Li Tainu, meaning you come first. Li Shen is a grudge-bearing person. He just said that he runs a brothel, so he won't take revenge this time when he finds the opportunity.

Sure enough, Li Shen's actions made Li Shimin turn his attention to Li Tai. Li Tai didn't know the plan at all. He was speechless for a moment. He glared at Li Shen fiercely, and then said bravely: "Aye, new Luo has always been our vassal state, and as the suzerain state we have a duty to help Silla, so why not directly send troops to support it."

Li Shimin did not comment on Li Tai's answer, but turned his attention to Li Shen.

"Aye, why don't you send some weapons, especially arrow feathers, if you can't defeat the city, you can still defend it for a while. Didn't the fifth brother just rebel? Aye is heartbroken, and preparations are being made for the expedition. Let them hold on. persist in.

Didn’t we raise the price of grain for Goguryeo and Baekje? We should make more money anyway. It won't be long before the price of food for the people of both countries will continue to rise, as was the case during the war. If there are several rebellions in the country at this time..."

"Well, what you said is similar to what we are thinking today. You are right, we don't need to let our own soldiers die for other countries." After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked not at Li Shen but at Li Tai and said: "Qingque, How is the promotion of Zhenguan Plow going?"

Originally, he came this time to repay Zhenguan Li, so he replied to Li Shimin:

"Going back to Aye, the Zhenguan plow has now been extended to 360 states in ten areas, and I have sent people to each state and county to check. The drawings and samples were all completed in Chang'an and sent quickly through the inn. The ones that are close to each other are It should have been used."

"Well, you did a good job, and I will reward you tomorrow when you meet me."

"Thank you." Li Tai looked happy.

"You three, please go back." Li Shimin seemed a little tired and waved to his three sons.

The three of them bowed and left, coming out of Liangyi Hall. Li Shen pushed Li Chengqian and Li Tai to walk side by side.

Li Chengqian said to Li Tai: "Qingque, mother hasn't seen you for a long time. She was still talking about you a few days ago. Go and have a look."

"It's eldest brother. I'm going to visit my mother right now." After speaking, Li Tai walked directly towards the harem.

Li Shen looked at the direction Li Tai left thoughtfully. Li Chengqian seemed to be 24 years old this year.
