Chapter 1855 Dad’s Affirmation
Li Shimin had to be on guard against Li Shen.
This rebellious son doesn't care whether he is his father or the emperor.
"Father, calm down. Didn't I say I would never do anything wrong again?
Don't worry, Aye." Upon hearing the threat of having his property confiscated, Li Shen immediately gave in.
Although I don’t have much money now, I still have a lot of treasures.
There is still so much gold and silver in the warehouse.
There are also various jades, jadeite, gemstones, etc., all of which are unprocessed.
This is just the stuff in vault number one.
All the treasures of Prince Ji’s Mansion are in the No. 2 vault, which is located below the inner residence, commonly known as the inner treasury.
All of the items inside are rare treasures that Li Shen has collected over the years, most of which Li Shen has never seen in his previous life.
Things like rhino horns, elephant ivory, ginseng that is over a hundred years old, etc.
The value of these things can no longer be measured by money, and many of them cannot be bought with money.
This was the reason why Li Shen threw the key into the lake in front of his father and refused to let his father enter the treasury even though he was guilty of deceiving the emperor.
"Tell me, what are you doing here this time?"
After staring at Li Shen for a while, Li Shimin asked.
"Well... there is indeed something, but it's a good thing. Um... how about we have some tea and talk about it?"
Li Shen asked hesitantly. There were too many people here and it was difficult to talk with so many people talking.
"Hmph, let's go to the study and talk." Li Shimin snorted, but still stood up and went to the study next to him.
Li Shen also stood up and bowed to the Queen and Concubine Wei:
"Mom, I'll have lunch here. I want to eat something light."
"Asshole, do you think this is your Prince Ji's mansion? You can eat whatever you want? And you even come here to order food?"
Li Shimin was so angry that he immediately turned around and scolded him.
However, Empress Changsun did not care about Li Shen's outrageous behavior. She laughed and said:
"Haha, okay, my son likes light food, so let's make a lighter lunch.
A lot of fresh vegetables were delivered.”
"Thank you, mother." Li Shen bowed again. The scene was extremely warm, just like an ordinary family.
Empress Changsun actually enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. Although she was also from a famous family,
However, her childhood experiences made her value family ties very much. She was driven out of the house by her third brother, Changsun Anye.
If it weren't for their uncle Gao Shilian taking them in and raising them, it's doubtful that the three of them would have survived until now.
The concubines standing by were all envious of Li Shen. Looking at all the princes and princesses in the royal family,
The only one who can get along so harmoniously with His Majesty and the Queen is Ji Wangshen.
Even the legitimate princes and princesses did not dare to act so presumptuously in front of His Majesty.
Thinking of their son going to his fiefdom early and being separated from them, it was not easy to see him once a year.
Look at Prince Ji, he is doing very well in Chang'an City. He doesn't have to suffer in his fiefdom, he can enjoy the good life in Chang'an City. How happy he is.
Sometimes they wondered how Concubine Wei educated her son.
Why is it so unlike her personality?
Li Shen didn't know what these concubines were thinking, but followed his father to the study.
After Li Shimin sat down, Li Shen took the initiative to make tea for his father.
"Tell me, what trouble have you caused again? You didn't come to the prince but came to me directly. It seems that the trouble is not small, right?"
Looking at Li Shen's diligent look, Li Shimin frowned and asked.
Upon hearing this, Li Shen's face immediately fell, and he complained to his father with a bitter face:
"Aye, is my son really so unbearable in your heart? Is he a troublemaker all day long?"
Li Shen himself wondered why his father said this every time they met.
Am I a troublemaker?
I am a good citizen, okay?
Seeing Li Shen's aggrieved look, Li Shimin nodded without hesitation:
"Yes, you are a rebellious son who stirs up trouble all day long and never makes me feel at ease.
Over the years, I have worried about you more than all the princes and princesses combined."
"I..." Li Shen almost swore. Damn, is this wrong? He actually said this to himself.
Even so, you don't have to be so blunt, right? Is he my biological father?
"What? You're still not convinced? Tell me yourself, how much trouble have you caused over the years?
How many troubles have I quelled for you? The entire Taiji Palace is filled with memorials impeaching you.
You have been acting perversely and recklessly since you were young, cheating everywhere, I..."
"Well, don't say that, Daye. I was wrong. I will correct it later."
Seeing that his father was getting more and more excited, Li Shen quickly interrupted him and admitted his mistake.
He was afraid that if he continued talking, his father would get angry and beat him up again.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Shimin calmed down his excitement.
"This is really a good thing, we are planning to hold a national football match.
Now the teams have been selected, which are thirty-two teams that have emerged from various states and counties.
Some teams have already arrived in Chang'an.
This can also be considered a national activity, which can add an entertainment activity for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
I wonder what Aye thinks?" Li Shen began to report.
"Then what?" Li Shimin did not express his opinion, but asked expressionlessly.
Li Shen continued:
"I hope that through this competition, everyone will fall in love with the sport of football.
Let people be able to strengthen their bodies through exercise and reduce the risk of illness.”
“Ordinary people either farm or work, do they still need to keep fit?
Do you think I don’t understand anything?”
Li Shimin curled his lips and laughed. This rebellious son said it was nice to strengthen his body.
Farming is tiring enough for the common people, and many of them also have to do odd jobs and twenty days of corvee labor.
Do you still need to keep fit after a year?
"Huh?" Li Shen was stunned after hearing this. What his father said seemed to make some sense. The people worked almost every day and were indeed strong and powerful.
But Li Shen couldn't be convinced for so long, he had to argue his case.
"Aye, the work of the common people is considered as labor, but what I am talking about is exercise.
Labor is forced by life, while exercise is something you do after meals. The two states of mind are different.
Doctor Sun said that if a person has no worries, does not care about anything, and is happy every day, he will live longer.
Li Shen used a lot of trickery to force a truth out of himself.
Li Shimin frowned, thinking about the last sentence Li Shen said.
Although Li Shen's words were crude, they were consistent with some Taoist ideas.
Li Shimin had studied many Taoist classics.
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said:
“You continue to say that football games should not be your purpose.
You can decide this kind of thing yourself. Tell me, what else do you plan to do?"
