Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen didn't evade anything at all, he said it very straightforwardly, which is also true.

That's how this society is.

Even in later generations, a bowl of water will still be uneven, let alone the distinction between direct descendants and concubines.

Being able to enjoy the treatment of a prince is already the best treatment for concubines like them.

Why did he work so hard for so many things? Wasn't it just for his father's love and blessing?

When other princes made mistakes, Li Shimin would sternly reprimand him. Not only that, Li Ke was impeached by the censor for trampling on the banker, and he changed from a governor to a governor.

Li Min was similar. He hunted and trampled crops, refused to listen to advice, and beat the person who tried to persuade him.

Therefore, Li Shimin not only reprimanded him for being worse than a beast, but also cut off half of his fiefdom and demoted him to Guozhou as the governor.

This is no small punishment. Half of the fiefdom, including the fiefdom officials, fertile land, and food fiefdoms will be halved.

These are all money, how can you enjoy them without money.

But to Li Shen, these are not mistakes. What does it mean to step on the dealer? Li Shen has done this countless times.

What does beating an official count? He even beat Jin Wang Li Zhi in the same way.

In the past ten years, Li Shen has done much more than Li Ke and Li Min.

But isn't Li Shen now arrogant and domineering in Chang'an City?

Isn't this what Li Shen has done over the years?

Many people think that princes and princes can be lawless, and that the fiefdom is as high as the mountains and as far away as the emperor.

That's impossible. The censor is impeaching you. Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, you have to be investigated. Even a fart is considered a big deal.

Li Ke, the governor of a medium-sized state, could at best be considered a third-rank official. Li Min was even worse, not even a third-rank official but a fourth-rank official.

If it weren't for the title of prince, both of them would be nothing.

But when Li Shen had no official position, no one dared to mess with him. It was because of His Majesty's protection that he pretended not to notice most minor things.

What Li Shen just said deeply stimulated Li Ke and Li Min.

Indeed, only a few of the dozen brothers could live comfortably, while the others worked conscientiously in the fief for fear of doing something wrong.

"Alas!~~~ The tenth brother is right, we can't compare with the fourth and ninth brothers. They are the direct descendants and we are the common descendants.

But who doesn’t want to enjoy glory and wealth?

We all want to leave something for future generations. There are more opportunities in Chang'an City. As long as we don't join the court and are willing to be an idle prince like you, tenth brother,

I think there should be no problem. "Li Ke sighed.

Their current generation is a prince, and the next generation may not be a county prince.

Although it is a clan, there are still some poor people in the clan.

"Third brother, this Chang'an City is a big whirlpool. After entering, it is impossible for you to be alone.

Even the younger brother is like this.

Am I not also the Protector of Qinghai Dao now? A third-grade official, a serious feudal official.

Moreover, the two elder brothers may not know that the younger brother is still the young minister of Zongzheng Temple. "

"Are you the young minister of Zongzheng Temple?" Li Min asked in surprise.

Although the young minister of Zongzheng Temple did not have much power in the court, he had great power in the clan.

Not only the management of the clan, but also relatives, punishment, mediation of conflicts, household registration review, etc.

"Yes, I've been working for a year now. Although I don't go to court, do my cooking, or work, I don't have a salary."

Li Shen said seriously.

"..." What the hell is there without a salary? The two of them didn't understand.

"This Zongzhengsi Shaoqing is worthy of his name, but because my younger brother is lazy, Aye promised me that he could not go to court, light the knot, or work.

I was originally entitled to a salary, but I was fined two years ago, so I still owe one year. "

Li Shen had sadness on his face.

"You still owe one year?" Although there are also fines, there is no one who still owes one year after working for one year.

"Yes, not only the young minister of Zongzheng Temple, but also the third-rank Protector of Qinghai Dao do not have a salary, and they are also owed one year.

In addition to the food and fertile land, the prince's salary is still owed to Aye for six years.

To be honest, I haven't received a salary for 22 years from the tenth year of Zhenguan to now.

So, do you think Chang'an is good? Not necessarily. "

Li Shen felt heartbroken when he mentioned this matter.

Li Ke and Li Min looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. They had not received a salary for more than ten years. That was a lot of money.

Moreover, Li Shen also said that he still owed six years' salary. Li Shen held three positions and did not receive any salary.

This is really a knife in the ass and an eye-opener.

This Lao Shi is really different, everything is different from normal people.

"Hahahaha, tenth brother, you are complaining here again. Even if you don't have a salary, you are living a better life than anyone else."

Suddenly, a voice came from the shore. Li Shen and the other three looked at it together. The speaker was none other than Li Chengqian.

The three people quickly stood up to greet them.

"I've met brother."

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"We are all brothers, no need to be polite." Li Chengqian said to the three of them with a smile.

"You bastards, you didn't even report to greet His Highness the Crown Prince when he arrived. How are you doing things?" Li Shen scolded the servants behind him.

"Okay, I didn't let them pass the news. Today is our brothers' get-together. There is no need for any pomp and ceremony." Li Chengqian waved his hand and interceded.

"Brother, sit down and have a cup of tea."

The four of them sat back in the pavilion again, and Li Shen poured a cup of tea for the prince.

"I came over as soon as I got the news. Third brother and sixth brother, you don't know that the delicacies of Prince Ji's Mansion are unparalleled in the world.

Even the palace can't compare with this place, and the Daji Palace of the Imperial Concubine can barely compare with this place.

We will definitely have a good meal today. "After sitting down, Li Chengqian began to speak.

"Haha, yes, I have heard about it in Chang'an City these days, so I came here to bother you today."

Li Ke agreed with a smile.

"Brother, it's just a meal. You don't have to brag about it like this, right? What I have is a simple meal, no different from ordinary people's homes."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shen quickly explained in a low-key manner,

"Bad food? The tenth brother is really too modest.

How many of the ingredients in your house are transported from the south at high speed? "Li Chengqian exposed the old story.

Li Shen was speechless. Just for such a small thing, you came up with it and said that this guy is so bad-mouthed.

It seems that you can't tell him anything in the future, otherwise he can issue an imperial edict and tell the world.

Li Shen rolled his eyes and ignored Li Chengqian.

Li Ke saw it and thought to himself, the relationship between Lao Shi and the prince seems to be very close.

Such casualness, without the slightest hint of awe.

"By the way, where is Xixi?" Li Chengqian looked around and asked.

"It's too noisy. Let the nurse take her away." Li Shen replied.

"This is the gift I promised to give him. You can give it to her."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian took a box from the servant.
