Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen's shout startled Princess Gao Yang, and she wanted to say something tough.

But looking at Li Shen's murderous eyes, she swallowed her words back.

She understood something in Li Shen's words just now.

Li Shen meant that it was not Fang Yizhi who asked him to come, because Fang Yizhi was not qualified.

In other words, there was someone else who asked Li Shen to do the job.

And the only people in the Tang Dynasty who can control this devil are probably the emperor and the crown prince.

Of course, this also includes the Queen and Concubine Wei.

But Concubine Wei would not care about such matters. The Empress might, but the chances are not high. Even if the Empress knew about it, she would inform the Emperor and let him handle it.

So the conclusion is obvious, the person who asked Li Shen to come is either their father or their eldest brother.

Both of them are possible.

Their father did it for face and the friendship of an old minister. After all, the Fang family was the descendant of Fang Xuanling, who was both their father's teacher and friend.

Fang Xuanling gave advice to their father and contributed to their father's becoming emperor.

Now that his own daughter is causing unrest in the Fang family, Li Shimin will certainly not agree.

As for the crown prince, he has been regent for several years now and is no different from the emperor. It is at this time that he is in need of confidants.

The first choice for confidants is naturally the children of nobles, which has always been the tradition.

Fang Yi inherited the title of Duke and served as Your Majesty's guard, so his loyalty is beyond question.

In order to win over Fang Yizhi, the prince is likely to send Li Shen to deal with such matters.

While winning over Fang Yizhi, it was also to stabilize the government and prevent others from having wild ideas.

Gao Yang understood this, and she became even more disgusted with Fang Yiai beside her.

If Fang Yiai is capable, the prince will also win over Fang Yiai, and he will have a better chance of becoming a duke.

But now that Prince Ji has intervened in this matter, it means that the Emperor and the Crown Prince do not agree to change the title.

In this case, it makes no sense for him to fight or not, because the title needs to be conferred by the emperor, not determined by himself.

"Was it father or elder brother who asked you to come?" Princess Gaoyang did not want to give in to Li Shen, so she wanted to find a way out.

Li Shen naturally knew this and felt amused. He shook his head:

"You don't need to know this, and it's not important. You just need to know that this cannot be done.

Instead of fighting for it deliberately, you might as well think about how to help Fang Yiai improve his title.

Seventeenth sister, you have already surpassed many princesses. What else can’t you satisfy?

How many princesses are as favored by Aye as you?

Be content with what you have, take things as they come, take good care of your husband and children, with Fang Yiai's current financial resources, it is enough to make you, Seventeenth Sister, rich and prosperous, isn't that good?"

“Alas, it is not easy to improve the title. Most of the nobles today were the founding heroes of the country.

It is extremely difficult to improve one's title these days. What great achievements do you think Fang Yiai can make with his talent?"

After hearing Li Shen's earnest advice, Gao Yang's mood calmed down a little. Li Shen was right. She was indeed living a better life than most princesses now.

Every year Fang Yiai received at least hundreds of thousands of strings of cash, which was enough for her to squander.

But she just couldn't accept it. Why couldn't Fang Yiai be a duke? Even a county marquis would be fine.

Li Shen understood Gao Yang's current mentality too well. He was never satisfied. He wanted more money when he had no money, and wanted a title when he had money.

If she has a title now, she must still want power.

This man's greed is innate and never-ending.

"Seventeenth sister, Fang Yiai is not doing badly now. He has already been promoted to Palace Attendant. With his age, he will be able to enter the Southern Court and become a general in a few years.

If you encounter a war and make contributions, it is not impossible to be awarded a title, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing through Princess Gaoyang's thoughts, Li Shen began to use both soft and hard tactics.

After hearing this, Princess Gaoyang glanced at Fang Yiai with disappointment in her eyes.

It's a question whether this guy can come back alive after going to the battlefield, let alone making any achievements.

"Seventeenth sister, the Fang family are descendants of meritorious officials, so what you did is definitely not acceptable.

I hope you can take care of yourself and not make Aye angry.

As for Fang Yiai, although you are the son-in-law of the princess and have to treat the princess with courtesy, you are still the head of the family after all.

We cannot allow Princess Gaoyang to act recklessly and do something that would cause the brothers to turn against each other.

Otherwise, I will never let you off easily. Show some manliness and don’t live such a cowardly life, making people like us laugh at you.

If you keep on being like this, you don't deserve to play with us.

Well, that’s all I have to say. Seventeenth sister, please think about it carefully.

Remember, don't ask me to come here a second time, or I don't know what outrageous things I will do."

Li Shen stood up, bowed to Princess Gaoyang, and walked out.

He has already said and done everything he should do. Whether he listens or not is Gao Yang's business.

If anything happens at that time, their father will naturally handle it.

When Princess Gaoyang saw Li Shen walking out, everyone stood up and escorted Li Shen out of the princess's mansion.

Li Shen got on the carriage, looked at the two of them deeply, and then the carriage moved slowly.

"Princess, let's go back." Fang Yiai supported Princess Gaoyang.

"Hmph, let go, you coward. Why didn't you stand up when Li Shen beat me?"

Princess Gaoyang shook off Fang Yiai's hand and shouted angrily.

"I..." Fang Yiai was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say that he was Prince Ji, how could he stand up?

"Okay, go back to your house. I'm going to the palace and tell my mother about him. Why did he hit me?

Someone, prepare the car." Gao Yang couldn't swallow this breath, touching his swollen and painful cheek.

She wanted to find the queen who loved her the most to report Li Shen.

Fang Yiai looked helpless, but didn't know how to persuade him.

According to the information he knew, Princess Gaoyang would only bring humiliation upon herself if she went to the palace to file a complaint.

The Queen Mother also doted on Prince Ji, even more than her biological sons such as Prince Wei and Prince Jin.

Gao Yang was only brought up by the Queen, so Your Majesty loves her as well. Her mother was only born to a concubine.

How can she compare to the higher status of Prince Ji’s biological mother, Concubine Wei?

However, Fang Yiai also knew that Princess Gaoyang would not listen to him.

After a while, Fang Yiai watched Princess Gaoyang's carriage leave the princess's mansion and head towards the palace.

...........

The Queen is very busy today because His Majesty is in the mood to go on a spring outing in a few days.

Because the Shangsi Festival was approaching and spring was in full bloom, Li Shimin especially enjoyed traveling.

This is especially true now that I don’t have to deal with state affairs.

As for the sacrificial activities of the Shangsi Festival, Li Shimin had arranged for the crown prince to preside over it, under the pretext that you have grown up.
