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

Li Shen's tiger-raising plan has only been implemented for a few months, and so far there has been no significant results.

But everything is going according to their plan.

However, a sudden change interrupted Li Shen's plan to raise a tiger.

He hated Li Zhi and wanted Li Zhi to die.

It is not difficult to kill Li Zhi, but the difficult part is whether Li Shen can bear the consequences of killing Li Zhi.

The reality is not about settling scores, there are too many things to consider.

Just like Li Zhi wanted to kill Li Shen, but he had to resort to conspiracy and trickery to do so.

Fratricide is a taboo, especially when Li Shimin is still alive, Li Shen cannot do it.

That's why Li Shen used the tiger-raising plan to kill with a borrowed knife.

"Your Majesty, if you really give up Prince Jin's idea, it won't be a good thing.

This way, King Jin will be able to live in peace and will no longer be our enemy."

Wang Xuance advised.

But Li Shen was extremely excited after hearing this.

"Impossible! He plotted against me, murdered me, and killed thousands of my people. I can't just let it go.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well.

I must make her pay the price, how can I let him go so easily? "

None of the three expected Prince Ji to be so excited.

Wang Xuance considered it from the perspective of an official. In the court, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Li Shen is not an official, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who holds a grudge.

At the beginning, Li Shen really thought about using a sharp blade to assassinate Li Zhi.

But in the end, he gave up after considering his own future, so he had to make Li Zhi pay the price.

"Your Majesty, but this is the current situation. His Majesty has already intended to abdicate the throne to the Crown Prince. By then, the Prince of Jin will probably be transferred out of Kyoto.

Do we have to wait for him to leave Kyoto and do it ourselves?" Wang Hongfu asked.

Li Shen frowned:

“Impossible, we have already discussed this matter last time.

If I could kill you directly, do you think I would wait until this moment?

If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, we will have no chance either, after all, Li Zhi is also a prince and the crown prince's biological brother.

If we assassinated him, it would be unjustifiable both morally and legally.

Even if he can't find any evidence, he will know that it was done by me.

I'm afraid I won't be able to live so happily then.

The Crown Prince will not trust me and will be on guard against me at every turn. I will not be able to be as reckless as I am now.

And the key point now is that His Majesty is still alive. His Majesty will not allow me to do this. When the time comes, without His Majesty's protection,

Isn't this king in danger?"

Li Shen naturally knew the interests involved and what to do and what not to do. He didn't want to be an emperor and just wanted to live a good life.

To enjoy life to the fullest, to be disillusioned with money and luxury, to have wine, women and beautiful women, these are Li Shen's dreams.

Li Shen is barely 21 years old this year and he still has decades of life ahead of him. He doesn't want to be restricted in every way. Being suspected by the emperor is not a good thing.

Li Shen's words made Wang Xuance and the other two fall into deep thought. What Prince Ji was thinking was not unreasonable. It was possible to kill Prince Jin without any evidence.

But this does not stop others from being suspicious. It doesn't matter if other people are suspicious of you, but if the emperor is suspicious of you, you will have no good life.

As long as there are villains who make slanderous suggestions at this time, King Ji will be in danger.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xuance asked:

"Then according to your Majesty's opinion, what should we do now?"

Li Shen thought for a while and said:

“The current situation is that Your Majesty wants to give up the throne to the Crown Prince, but once the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, Li Zhi may become a vassal.

That way we won't have any excuse to deal with him.

And the key point is that His Majesty is still alive. He is afraid that I will take action, so he will definitely send people to monitor me.

So we have to..." Li Shen raised his head and glanced at the three of them.

"Your Majesty must be given to..." Wang Hongfu replied as if possessed by a ghost. Then his face turned pale instantly and he looked at Li Shen in horror.

"Fuck! Get out of my way! I'll beat you to death!" Li Shen jumped up instantly and jumped off the bed.

He kicked Wang Hongfu to the ground, then sat on him and punched him in the face.

Beating and scolding:

"Fuck you, bastard, I'll beat you to death, you stupid thing.

Don’t you have a brain? Are you talking with your butt? Beat you to death, beat you to death…”

Li Shen was really pissed off by Wang Hongfu and beat him with all his might.

Wang Hongfu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know why he said such outrageous words.

He didn't even dare to beg for mercy and could only listen to Li Shen beating him.

Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui were both stunned. What was Wang Hongfu talking about? He actually had such a terrible idea.

The two of them couldn't help but move their seats to the side.

They both wanted to kick him a few times. His words could kill everyone in the room.

This time they did not plead for Wang Hongfu.

After fighting for a full quarter of an hour, Li Shen finally stood up panting, and Chunxiang considerately handed him a cup of tea.

Li Shen drank several cups, then took the wet handkerchief handed to him by Dongmei and wiped his hands, and finally threw the handkerchief at Wang Hongfu.

"Huh~~ I'm so pissed off." He let out a long sigh.

"You bastard, kneel down for me!" Li Shen cursed angrily and lay down on the bed.

Wang Hongfu struggled to get up and kneel down with a bruised face. His face was covered in blood and his nose was bleeding from Li Shen's blow.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I didn't have such thoughts. I just made a slip of the tongue.

I hope His Royal Highness Prince Ji will forgive me."

Wang Hongfu burst into tears and kowtowed to Li Shen.

"Slip of the tongue? Did you know that slip of the tongue is also a capital crime? I really should chop you off." Li Shen glared at her.

There are so many spies in the Ji Palace, and this bastard actually said such a treasonous thing.

If this got to the ears of Li Shimin, he would have no chance of survival.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again." Wang Hongfu kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Shen waved his hand at the stone.

Shi Tou walked to the door, opened it, looked around, then turned around and shook his head at Li Shen.

Li Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You will be fined one year's salary, half of your good land will be taken away, and you will be demoted to an ordinary shopkeeper. If you commit the same offense again, you will lose your head. Do you accept the punishment?"

"I accept the punishment. I accept the punishment." Wang Hongfu nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe that Shopkeeper Wang did it unintentionally. He has already repented and reformed. Your Majesty should just let it go."

At this time Wang Xuance stood up to advise.

He also knew that Prince Ji could not really kill Wang Hongfu. After all, he had followed him for many years, although he deserved to be punished for saying so.

But he just spoke out of turn. In addition to expressing his attitude, Prince Ji's behavior just now was also to save Wang Hongfu.

Prince Ji gave him a good beating, and even if His Majesty knew about it, he would let it go.

(When the identity does not match the self, people tend to become inflated.

I have a friend who is like this now. After making a fortune, he lost his way.)
