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

There was silence on the terrace. Li Shimin, the eunuchs and maids who served him, and everyone's eyes were focused on the worshipping Li Shen.

With a plop, Wang De knelt down and shouted along with Li Shen:

"May the country prosper for thousands of years!!"

"Plop, plop." The eunuchs and maids on the terrace also knelt down, imitating Wang De's actions and raising their hands high and shouting:

"May the country prosper for thousands of years!!"

Li Shimin was extremely excited as he watched this scene. He was also overwhelmed with emotion and excitement when he heard Li Shen's words just now.

"Haha, okay, everyone get up." Li Shimin laughed and waved his hand.

Everyone, including Li Shen, stood up. They were all moved by Li Shen's words and couldn't help themselves.

"Old Ten, you are right. We need to establish a foundation that will last for thousands of years and lay a hundred-year foundation.

Our Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years, and is still far from having a century-old foundation.

For the sake of the support for my descendants, I am willing to become the cornerstone and let my Tang Dynasty last for thousands of years.

Since you think this institute will be of great help to my Li Tang, then you can continue to do it. If you need any help, just tell me."

Li Shimin was full of pride. Upon hearing this, Li Shen immediately stood up and bowed to express his gratitude:

"Thank you for your grace, Father. I will serve the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly.

However, because the Ji Wang Mansion is short of money now, if Aye wants to help, just give some money. "

"It's just money, isn't it?

Old Ten, actually I think your research institute should not have anything to do with the imperial court, so it’s better for you to just stick to your own small business for now.

If you have any connection with the imperial court, some people with ulterior motives will take advantage of you.

It will be difficult to keep the secret at that time, so it would be safer to keep it in your Prince Ji’s mansion.

Don’t make a big fuss and draw attention to yourself.”

Li Shimin, who was originally excited and enthusiastic, suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was almost deceived by this rebellious son.

You still want to ask him for money?

At this moment, Li Shimin set up a defense line in his heart and was on high alert.

Li Shimin thought to himself,

My goodness, I was so excited by Li Shen’s few words just now that I almost lost my gold.

Li Shimin finally felt Li Shen's ability to deceive people, and felt the feeling of those playboys, merchants and literati who were deceived by Li Shen in the past.

He had to admit that his son was truly a monster, or a demon.

I don’t know what kind of magic he used to bewitch people, and even the emperor himself almost fell into his trap.

This rebellious son's ability is truly beyond belief.

Li Shen was feeling extremely regretful at this moment, secretly sighing that it was such a pity as he was almost able to get the money.

I didn't expect that my father would be able to stop at the last moment.

Li Shen kept reviewing in his mind, wondering if he had said that wrongly just now. It would have been better if he had stayed in PUA for a while.

Li Shen reflected on himself, thinking that he had acted too hastily.

The scene was a bit awkward; neither the father nor the other spoke, each with their own thoughts.

Li Shimin didn't say anything because he felt a little embarrassed. He was just successfully fooled by his own son.

Li Shen didn't say anything. He was thinking whether he should try again, just in case he could cheat some money back.

Wang De stood aside and looked at this strange father and son, sighing in his heart.

Since following Your Majesty, I have fought in battles in the south and the north, and also experienced the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Your Majesty has never been truly happy since he ascended the throne. Even though he destroyed several countries, Li Shimin felt that it was justified.

But ever since Prince Ji came into the world, His Majesty has found fun, and His Majesty's temperament has changed drastically over the years.

It's a good thing that I'm no longer as serious as before.

Your Majesty is happy, and as his son, Prince Ji should make Your Majesty even happier.

But Prince Ji has no awareness at all and insists on going against Your Majesty.

Sometimes when Wang De was free, he would say to Li Shen, "You should be more considerate of His Majesty. After all, he is your father."

This guy won't give in. He will never go home empty-handed if he can take advantage.

"Your Majesty, the King of Jin and the King of Wei are outside seeking an audience."

Just at this moment, an eunuch came in to report.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Let them in."

The eunuch took the order and went out. After a while, Li Zhi and Li Tai came out, but Li Zhi was supported by Li Tai.

They came before Li Shimin and bowed.

"See Aye."

"Well, no need to be so polite." Li Shimin nodded.

Li Shen bowed to the two of them:

"Greetings, Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother. I am injured and cannot perform the greetings. I hope you two brothers can forgive me."

"Oh? Old Ten, you are injured? Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

Hearing that Li Shen was injured, Li Tai hurried forward to inquire.

"Haha, thank you for your concern, brother. It's just some superficial injuries. I'll be fine after some rest."

Li Shen smiled lightly and bowed to Li Tai again. It seemed that Li Tai was not being hypocritical.

"Let's all sit down and talk." Li Shimin spoke again.

After the two men expressed their gratitude, Li Tai helped Li Zhi to sit down first, and then he sat next to Li Shen.

"Old Ten, how come you are injured..." Li Tai asked.

"Oh, I was practicing martial arts..."

"Being beaten by the imperial concubine."

Before Li Shen could continue his story, Li Shimin, holding his teacup, told the truth without giving Li Shen any face.

"Well, yes, I was beaten by my mother when I was practicing martial arts, hehe, hehe."

Lian Si smiled awkwardly, glanced at his father, and thought to himself: What a father who doesn't give me face.

"Oh, so he was beaten while practicing martial arts." Li Tai repeated it with a smile, putting emphasis on the word "practicing martial arts."

Li Shen felt even more embarrassed as the lie he had just told was exposed.

"Haha, you also practice martial arts? That's ridiculous." Li Zhi on the side laughed twice with a contemptuous tone.

Li Shen stood up immediately after hearing this:

"What's the matter? Brother Nine, you don't believe that I can practice martial arts, how about we compete here now?

I'll also let you see how powerful my new set of lifting techniques are."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he once again made the same opening move he had used to deal with Wang De, but this time he changed his name.

Wang De saw Li Shen's opening move, and his mouth twitched. Didn't he just say something about spring? What happened again this time?

"What hand? Whose unique skill is the lifting hand?" Li Shimin on the side was also stunned. He knew all the famous martial arts of these generals following him.

I haven't heard of anyone learning this skill.

In other words, these generals don't have any bare-handed moves.

After all, it's a battle on the battlefield, not a martial arts competition. Going to the battlefield is a matter of life and death, and everyone has to carry a weapon.

"Tenth Brother, what did you do and where did you learn it? Why hasn't Fourth Brother heard of it?"

Li Tai, who was sitting nearby, raised his head and stared at Li Shen, who was still in the starting position, and asked in confusion.

(Tihangshou is a unique martial arts skill of the people of Bashu. It is not made up. The word has the fourth tone, not the third tone. It has two meanings.)
