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

"Aye, can we go to Qinghai Road later in March? What about the child's 100 days?" Li Shen was unwilling to let him go to Qinghai Road.

He is eating, drinking and having fun at home. Is he planning to take his family to the south this year?

When can I come back from Qinghai Road?

"I allow you to come back once. If you work hard, you can reach Chang'an in less than ten days."

Li Shimin sneered at Li Shen's affection for his children.

"Oh, okay then, I will do my best to handle the things Aye told me."

Li Shimin nodded and took the Queen and Concubine Wei into the carriage. The carriage drove out of Prince Ji's Mansion. Li Shimin opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Li Shen:

"The mutual trade is a top priority. In addition, understanding Tubo is also very important. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I will arrange it." Li Shen nodded, knowing that Li Shimin wanted him to collect information.

"Well, that's good. It costs a lot of money to build the road from Chang'an to Qinghai. I can't let you pay for it alone. (Free reading of Tomato novels)

I will give you two million yuan from my internal funds, and the imperial court will be regarded as cultivating with you.

I know you are kind-hearted and all the labor is hired, but the cost is too high. "

Li Shimin didn't say much else, lowered the curtain and the carriage headed towards the imperial city under the protection of a group of Yulin guards.

My mother, is there any unexpected gain?

Li Shen was ecstatic in his heart. He did not expect that a beating would be exchanged for two million strings. He felt embarrassed to take it.

How about you come back and beat me up again?

Why was his father so generous today? This made him start to wonder if his father was suffering from some terminal illness and started to divide the family property.

If he hadn't been so stingy in the past, why would he have paid me back today?

But he also understood the last words his father said. If he didn't call for labor, he would definitely pay a huge cost.

Especially since the wages Li Shen paid were so high.

This road alone costs millions of dollars in wages.

But although Li Shen was a nobleman and a profiteer, he still had a pure land in his heart.

"Your Majesty, let's go back too." Wu Meiniang said while supporting Li Shen.

It was really lively today, first the princess gave birth, and then the prince was beaten.

This day was as lively as it has been in a month.

"Well, let's go. I have to ask Divine Doctor Sun to see if I have any internal injuries."

Li Shen felt pain all over his body.

Lu Dingniang had already fallen asleep, and Li Shen did not disturb her. He just went to the wet nurse to take a look at the child.

Li Shen didn't bother the child while he was nursing.

Sun Simiao gave Li Shen a prescription to relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation, and asked him to drink it for a few days.

"By the way, come here, find some people who know how to fish out the key."

Li Shen suddenly thought that the key to the warehouse that he threw into the lake had not been fished out yet.

Fortunately, I am quick-witted and quick-thinking, otherwise the treasures in the warehouse may not be saved.

After everything was done, Li Shen was helped to Wu Meiniang's Linglong Pavilion. He was indeed very tired, so he lay down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day

Everyone in Chang'an City knew that the princess of Ji Wang Li Shen gave birth yesterday and successfully gave birth to her eldest son.

No wonder King Ji disappeared recently. It turned out that he was waiting for the birth of his legitimate son.

The news that His Majesty and the Queen visited Prince Ji's Mansion in person shocked both the government and the public.

This is a treatment that even Prince Li Chengqian has not received. Many people with overactive minds are wondering if His Majesty has other ideas.

During the morning court, all the ministers were observing the prince's face and mood.

However, the prince remained the same, nothing changed.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Wang Xuance, the chief historian of Prince Ji's Mansion, has just sent a document to Zhongshu."

Ma Zhou stood up. He had been reinstated as a discharge officer and continued to serve as Zhongshu Ling.

The eunuch took the fold and handed it to Li Chengqian.

This is a good news announcement. Logically speaking, there is no need to give it to Zhongshu. It can be given directly to His Majesty.

Li Chengqian opened it and read it for a while, then put the fold aside with a smile.

There is no need to say this kind of excerpt in a family letter in court.

"Your Highness, there is a severe epidemic in Qingzhou, central Guizhou Province, and dozens of people have died.

The local governor has sent local guards to quarantine. "

"Mobilize doctors from surrounding counties and counties to Qingzhou, and the Qingzhou government has sealed off all checkpoints and prepared food and medicine.

He dispatched five thousand troops from the Central Guizhou Province to Qingzhou. "

Li Chengqian issued every political order skillfully, and he had become very familiar with it in the past two years. There are disasters every year and epidemics every year.

The ministers looked at the prince's calm expression and guessed that the prince did not care about His Majesty's special visit to Prince Ji's Mansion.

After going to court, the ministers got another news.

His Royal Highness actually put down his government affairs and went to Prince Ji's Mansion to congratulate Prince Ji on the birth of his eldest son.

This made King Ji's momentum even greater.

Zhuangzi, a subordinate of the royal family, held a running banquet for three days and donated money and materials to all the sick hospitals and Beitian hospitals in Chang'an.

King Ji really spent a lot of money on this eldest son.

Li Shimin kept his promise and sent two million gold coins the next day.

Wang Hongfu had already sent someone to make arrangements for the road construction, so Li Shen didn't have to worry about it. Li Shen could just stay grounded with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Silla Mission, Jin Chunqiu and his son King Jinwen are outside the palace asking for an audience."

At this moment, Li Shen was fishing by the lake in the back garden. Sitting next to him were two little ones, Xi Xiyangyang, each holding a small fishing rod in their hands.

He followed the example of their Aye, wearing a straw hat and looking attentively at what was happening on the water.

When the servants came to report, Li Shen happened to catch a big fish.

He replied very annoyed.

"Not available, no see."

"My lord, they said they heard that your lord got a young man, so they came here to congratulate you and even prepared a gift list."

The servant presented a gift list with both hands.

Li Shen took a look at the gift list and his eyes lit up.

It is indeed a generous gift. There are thirty ginseng roots in Goguryeo that are over a century old.

There are also various precious medicinal materials,

Bezoars, pearls, ivory, sea cucumbers, many good things.

"Well... let them wait in the front hall. After all, they are envoys from a vassal country. As the Celestial Kingdom, they cannot lose their etiquette."

Li Shen handed the gift list to Chunxiang behind him for safekeeping. After giving instructions, he stood up and shouted:

"You two can play here for today. Aye will take you to do other things tomorrow."

After saying that, he went back to prepare to change clothes. The child would naturally be taken care of by his grandmother and maid, so he didn't have to worry.

It was good in ancient times, you didn’t have to worry about your children.

Jin Chunqiu and King Jin Wen were in the front hall for a quarter of an hour before Li Shen walked in slowly.

Of course he had to dress more formally when meeting envoys. He wore a royal robe that shone with gold. Although it was purple, it was mixed with heavenly silk and gold threads.

The sun's rays sparkled in a flash.

"Foreign ministers and envoys meet with His Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty."

Jin Chunqiu did know the culture of the Tang Dynasty very well, so he took his son and bowed deeply to Li Shen.

Li Shen nodded with a smile on his face.

"Well, no need to be polite, just sit down. Come and serve tea."
