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

In Li Shimin's heart, Li Shen was more important than Li Zhi, but Li Zhi was born to Empress Changsun after all.

Because he loves Li Zhi, Li Shimin also loves Li Zhi very much.

However, some of the things Li Zhi did over the years made Li Shimin very disappointed.

If Li Zhi had not been the legitimate son, he would have been sent out of the country long ago.

"Oh, this child is so worrying.

Erlang, how about I go talk to Shen'er and make peace with him? Shen'er is filial and obedient."

Empress Changsun was very troubled by her son.

In the end, Li Shimin told her most of what Li Zhi had done.

Including the incident in which he robbed and killed Li Shen’s caravan.

For this, Empress Changsun beat Li Zhi.

Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin shook his head.

"Guanyin maid, it's not difficult to deal with Lao Shi, but it's difficult to deal with Zhi Nu. If Zhi Nu doesn't let go of his grudge,

In the future, when he attacks Old Ten, he may forgive him once or twice, but can he forgive him three or four times?

The tenth child is filial and caring about his family, but he is very cruel at heart.

In order for him to live a happy life in the future, he would get rid of Zhinu once and for all, and it was not impossible.

So now the focus is still on Zhinu.

The reason I don’t let Zhinu go to his fiefdom now is because I’m afraid he might do something tricky in his fiefdom and anger Old Ten, who would then attack him.

When the time comes, even if he wants to confer a title on you, I won’t be able to protect him.”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he sighed in his heart. Having Li Shen was enough of a headache for him. Although he could make achievements, he could also cause trouble.

It would be a disaster for a family to have a child like this, but I didn't expect that he had two.

Both of them had worried looks on their faces. Prince Ji Li Shen must not be touched. He was very important to the Tang Dynasty. For the sake of the Li family's eternal foundation, no one could touch Li Shen.

But Zhinu was their biological son and had always been loved by them.

He was well-behaved and sensible when he was a child, but I didn’t expect him to change when he grew up.

"By the way, Erlang, this time we are going back just in time for Meng Jiang's baby to be 100 days old. Do you think you should give him some reward?

There is also the eldest son of Shen'er's family. Although it has been more than a hundred days, I guess Shen'er will also host a banquet when he returns.

We will also have to prepare some rewards when the time comes."

Empress Changsun suddenly remembered some trivial matters and asked Li Shimin for his opinion.

"Well, let's talk about it after we return to Chang'an. Meng Jiang will take out two rare items from the treasury and send them to him as a reward.

As for the tenth brother...he cheated me of three million strings of cash and hasn't paid me back yet.

Nothing is rewarded.”

Whenever Li Shimin thought of this, his blood pressure would soar and his qi would surge. He felt distressed when he thought that his son had cheated him of more than three million strings of cash.

"Haha, Erlang, if you don't give me anything as a reward, Shen'er won't complain, right?

Given Shen'er's greedy personality, he will definitely ask you, Erlang, for an explanation."

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled. These two men were so funny.

"Ask me for an explanation? I haven't even asked him for money yet, and he still dares to ask me for an explanation?

Our Li family's family rules were established specifically for him."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately puffed his beard and glared.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. The beds are made. It's time to rest." Wang De came over and reported.

"Yeah." Li Shimin stood up and walked to the bed.

Empress Changsun stepped forward and undressed Li Shimin, saying with a smile:

"Erlang, no one in the world can match Shen'er in this business world. Although you are an emperor, in charge of power, ruling the world.

But on this road, you'd better be more careful in the future.

I think that in the future, Erlang should not get involved in anything involving money, no matter how big or small, as long as it has something to do with Shen'er.

Otherwise, I am afraid Erlang will suffer again."

Only Empress Changsun dared to say such words to Li Shimin. No one else dared to violate the etiquette. It was not the place for outsiders to tell the emperor what to do.

Only Empress Changsun, the first wife, could talk about it as if it were a casual conversation.

After hearing this, Li Shimin just curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction, but did not say anything to refute.

Because what Empress Changsun said does make some sense.

His son indeed possessed a unique talent in business, and there were few people in the Tang Dynasty who could match him.

Especially when it comes to making money as a businessman, Li Shen is very good at it both openly and covertly.

The nobles all over the world have been played around by this son more than once, and they are too embarrassed to tell others when they have been cheated of their money.

The noble families and the aristocratic families have been deceived several times, and now they are afraid when the Prince Ji's Mansion is mentioned.

As an emperor, he was also deceived and cheated several times. He was no match at all.

Just like this time, who would have thought that he could team up with Indian monks to defraud him of more than four million strings of money just after returning.

Li Shimin himself was puzzled. The two of them had never met before, but after Li Shen came back, he was able to make the Indian monks submit to him.

Even though he treated the Indian monk with great courtesy, he did not gain any loyalty from him.

In the end, this Indian monk was also sent away by Li Shen. He is probably now turned into a pile of bones.

For such a long time, I didn't realize that I had been cheated. I sent so many people out, but no one realized that they had been cheated.

Although he felt sorry for the four million strings of cash, he cared more about his loss.

Seeing that Li Shimin remained silent, Empress Changsun took off Li Shimin's clothes and the two of them got on the bed.

The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Li Shen was called up by Li Shimin.

It was no use even if Li Shen was unwilling a thousand times or ten thousand times.

I put on a set of tight clothes and came to the designated place in a daze.

Li Tai and Li Zhi had already been standing there waiting, and Li Shimin was also in casual clothes.

"Ha~~Wu~~Hello, Aye. Hello, Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother."

Li Shen yawned loudly, then saluted the three people listlessly.

Seeing Li Shen like this, Li Shimin was furious.

He climbed onto the horse, still holding a whip in his hand.

"Okay, let's start the half-hour training." Li Shimin gave an order, and the three brothers started running.

Li Zhi was holding back his energy and kept running in front, followed closely by Li Shen, and finally the fat man Li Tai.

After running for only a short while, Li Shen estimated that it was only three minutes, Li Tai was already exhausted and started to leave the team.

"Fourth brother, hold on a little longer." Li Shen turned around and said to Li Tai.

"No...no...don't...have to do with me, you...you..." Li Tai had difficulty speaking. Finally, he shook his hands and said, "Let Li Shen go first."

Li Shen was just being polite and then started running after Li Zhi.

Li Shimin waved his hand towards the back, and immediately several guards came over and helped Li Tai walk slowly.

Ordinary eunuchs may not be able to support him, they can only serve as guards.

Then Li Shimin rode up on horseback.

Li Shen felt something was wrong as he was running. He had been keeping a certain distance from Li Zhi, but suddenly he found that his speed was faster than before.

Looking up, I saw that Li Zhi was speeding up.

Li Shen cursed in his heart, "Are you crazy? Just run slowly until the time is up. How can you show off your ability? Why don't you fly?"

However, Li Shen still followed Li Zhi's footsteps.
