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

Wang De's words made Li Shimin laugh.

In fact, he himself did not know how much salary he had fined Li Shen. Perhaps, except for the royal family, there would be records.

Neither party cares anymore.

Before and after the New Year, Li Shen was fined twelve years' salary. If he were an ordinary prince, he would probably have starved to death.

"You little dog slave, you're actually begging for mercy on behalf of that rebellious son. How do you know that all the money has been taken away?"

"Your Majesty, every time I go to His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I cry and complain. It's hard for me to forget.

It seems like it has been withheld for more than thirty years, nearly forty years.

If His Royal Highness Prince Ji wants to receive his salary, he will have to wait until he is 60 years old, unless something unexpected happens.

Judging from the current temperament of His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I am afraid that he may not be able to receive a salary even after he is over 70.

If you continue to deduct, won’t it mean that you are asking for the salary of the successor king of Prince Ji’s mansion?”

"Hahahaha, it seems that I will have to change the way of punishment in the future. Punishment will no longer make this rebellious son feel distressed.

Maybe asking him to pay directly would be more of a deterrent.”

Li Shimin burst into laughter after hearing this. He finally heard some good news that made him happy.

"Well, the heir to the throne... The tenth prince's eldest son seems to have just turned two years old?" Speaking of the heir to the throne, Li Shimin thought of Li Shen's eldest son Li Wei.

"Your Majesty, the date should be about right. I remember it was around March last year."

Wang De replied after recalling it.

“Well, there is still a year before the canonization, so it doesn’t hurt to do it earlier.

But since his father has been awarded this time, I am afraid he will have to wait until next year to be conferred the title, otherwise it will make some people dissatisfied if it is done too frequently. "

Li Shimin nodded and talked to himself.

Normally, children would be canonized after the age of three. Because the infant mortality rate was high in ancient times, the chance of survival was much greater after the age of three.

That's why he was enthroned at the age of three. Of course, this was in accordance with the convention. Li Shimin's several legitimate sons did not follow the convention.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has built several official roads for the Tang Dynasty. This should be worth a reward, right?

This was a matter of benefit to the country and the people, and was a credit to the imperial court, especially the Liaodong Road and Qinghai Road, which saved the imperial army 30% of its time.

It will be of great help to the war effort.”

As a eunuch serving His Majesty, my job is to share your worries.

Since His Majesty couldn't think of a reason to reward His Royal Highness Prince Ji, he would think of one.

As expected, when Li Shimin heard Wang De's words, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's right, although this rebellious son has done all kinds of bad things, has no sense of etiquette, and does not know filial piety.

But it was still a good thing.

These thousands of miles are enough of a reward.”

"Your Majesty, it's getting late and you have to attend court tomorrow. Why don't you take a rest?" Wang De suggested happily when he saw Li Shimin.

"Well, send someone to call Xu Chongrong over." After solving this problem, Li Shimin was in a good mood and prepared to move around and exercise.

Next is that it is not visible to non-members.

~~~~~~~~

The next day, Li Shen got up very early, of course because he was woken up.

The military camp training was massive and the slogans resounded through the sky.

It was hard for Li Shen not to wake up.

He let Shitou serve him in a daze, wiping his face and dressing him.

Li Shen got up early and had no appetite. Before leaving, he came to the training ground.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Several officers came over to salute Li Shen, and the guards were extremely excited to see Li Shen.

"Ha~~ No need to be polite, you guys continue your training, I'll just watch."

Li Shen yawned, and then came to the reviewing stand at the front. At this moment, everyone stopped training at the same time and saluted Li Shen together.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." The voice echoed throughout the military camp.

"Very good, let's continue training." Li Shen seemed a little listless and spoke weakly.

After watching for a while, Tie Niu finally came over.

"Your Majesty, the carriage has arrived."

"Okay, let's get ready to go back to Prince Ji's Mansion. By the way, where is Wang Hongfu?" He looked around but didn't see Wang Hongfu.

Wang Hongfu came with him last night.

"Your Highness, Manager Wang went to the research institute early and saw that Your Highness was still resting, so he asked me to tell Your Highness."

Shitou replied quickly.

"Oh, he's quite dedicated. Just ignore him and let's go back to sleep."

After saying that, Li Shen greeted several officers, brought his men to the gate, got on the carriage and returned to Chang'an City.

What I want to say is that his Little White Dragon No. 2 saw Li Shen get on the carriage, but didn't ride it, and even got a little upset.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Shen was in a daze and didn't know how long it had been, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Li Shen opened his eyes and felt that the carriage had stopped. The sound was the sound of stones, so he sat up.

"finally arrived at home."

He climbed out of the carriage,

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." As soon as Li Shen climbed out of the car, he heard a miserable kowtow, which frightened Li Shen.

Only then did he realize that he was not at the gate of Prince Ji's Mansion, but at the gate of the East City Gate.

There were no common people around, only some Wuhou Guards who were paying their respects, and the sound just now was made by them.

"What's going on? You're not letting me into the city? I'm a local resident."

Li Shen blurted out. He looked around and found that there were only a dozen Hu guards, while he had a hundred personal guards.

At present, it seems that even if we assassinate them, it will not succeed.

"Hey, Your Highness Prince Ji, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you here for a while."

Just when Li Shen was wondering, a voice that Li Shen hated rang out. Without even looking at Li Shen, one could tell it was that old dog Wang De.

Soon, Wang De came to Li Shen and bowed gently:

"This old servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Li Shen bared his teeth and said with a fake smile:

"So it's you, Chief Steward Wang. Please excuse me. What are you waiting for me for?

It's so quiet here, no one is around, it's a perfect place for an ambush, why do you want to assassinate me?"

"Ah?" Wang De almost vomited blood. What was wrong with His Royal Highness Ji's brain? What was he thinking about all day? No one here had anything to do with him.

"Oh, my Lord, please don't scare me, I can't bear such a big crime.

The reason why this place is empty is not because of me, but because of your coming, Your Majesty.

The common people all avoided it, and it had nothing to do with me, the old slave."

Wang De explained aggrievedly, thinking in his heart that it would be unjust if this child didn't get beaten. He should be beaten three times a day, morning, noon and night.

"Really?" Li Shen looked around. He had never cleaned the streets in the capital before because he ran too fast.

The people at the city gate only had time to dodge before Li Shen's carriage passed by.

He stopped today, so people naturally avoided him.

"Tell me, what's the matter? If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep."

Li Shen yawned and said impatiently.

Wang De was already used to it, and said to Li Shen with a smile:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, pass on His Majesty's oral order. Prince Ji must return to the city and come to Yajingju to see the emperor immediately. No delay is allowed, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk."

(Today I just learned one thing: lunar age is the Chinese way of counting age, while lunar age is the foreign way of counting age.

I have always thought that lunar age is a foreign thing, and lunar age is a Chinese thing.)
