Chapter 1988 1 cancellation
Li Shen couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw that Li Shimin loved his three sons so much.
I thought, since you care so much about them, why not just pay for them?
Anyway, you have so much money, isn't a mere 500,000 strings of cash a drop in the bucket?
Li Shen looked at his father with a playful expression, waiting for his father's reply.
After hearing Li Shen's words, Li Shimin's face began to change, from white to red, and from red to black. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly bit the fruit in his hand hard.
Then he snorted:
"Humph, what are you talking about? Praying for your parents is a sign of your filial piety. How can I interfere?
If I pay this money, how can I show your kindness and filial piety?
Besides, the Crown Prince is the eldest brother, so he should set an example. This matter is your business, so I will not interfere. I will just let you do it."
After saying that, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, which made Li Shen despise him very much.
He knew it would be like this. His father, like himself, valued money more than anything else. He could talk to him about principles better than anyone else, but if you talked to him about money, there would be no point in making any sense.
Wanting his father to pay for it is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
Li Shen estimated that the prince would have to write an IOU for the 30,000 strings of cash he borrowed, and he would have to pay it back if he didn't, or his salary would be deducted.
It is a tragedy for these sons to have such a stingy father.
"Didn't Aye just say that I shouldn't do this? Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Could it be that Aye also thinks it is right for me to deceive my brothers?"
Li Shen continued to add fuel to the fire with a smile, and Wang De on the side shook his head secretly.
Is this little prince testing His Majesty's bottom line? Doesn't he know how to read people's expressions? He can't see that His Majesty's face has turned so dark and he is still jumping back and forth on the edge of being beaten.
Just as His Majesty said, Prince Ji should be beaten every once in a while, so that he can behave himself for a while and not be so rebellious.
Now it seems that this statement is correct. It has only been a few days since he was beaten last time, and now he is taking the initiative to provoke His Majesty again.
Li Shen didn't care about his father's expression at all. He leaned against the carriage and ate a fruit, feeling very happy.
Cheating under the emperor's order, haha, how cool it is to say it out loud, it's similar to begging under the emperor's order.
A loud "bang" interrupted Li Shen's sweet dream. Li Shen was so scared that he almost dropped what he was holding.
Li Shimin patted the small table in the carriage and looked at Li Shen with a gloomy face:
"Humph, I now think it is right to enforce family rules on you. I think you want to be beaten."
"No, no, Aye, what are you talking about?" Li Shen waved his hands quickly.
"You still have the nerve to cheat your brother? It seems that the few times of discipline have not taught you a lesson." Li Shimin's face was full of anger.
This bastard actually dared to provoke me. He is so bold.
"Father, please forgive me. I won't do it again next time." Hearing that he was going to be beaten, Li Shen quickly admitted his mistake.
"Okay, I want to tell you something else."
After fooling around for a while, Li Shimin finally talked about serious matters. Li Shen also put away his smile and sat up straight.
"This time when you go to Anxi, you must prioritize safety and don't act recklessly. But..." Li Shimin said this and then changed the subject.
“If there are rebels who rob food supplies, you still have to send troops to suppress the rebellion, otherwise our Tang Dynasty frontline soldiers will be attacked from all sides, and tens of thousands of troops will be in danger.
So I hope you can be more careful. You have an important responsibility, so don't act recklessly as you did in the past. Your life is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers. Do you remember this?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Shen pondered in his heart, it seems that the Anxi Protectorate was not as peaceful as he had imagined.
Otherwise, my father wouldn't be so worried. He's concerned about my safety, but he also wants me to quell the rebellion. Such a contradiction.
But if the situation is so critical, why did they send me there? Is it true that there is a lack of successors in the court?
The older generation of generals retired, and there were no outstanding ones in the new generation.
Many generals had gone to the Tibetan border, and there was no one available in the court.
Now that I think about it carefully, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are already old. The military god Li Jing will die soon, Li Xiaogong has retired at home, and even Yuchi Jingde is over 60 years old.
Only Li Ji was still relatively young and was almost sixty years old. The rest of the famous generals were all from foreign races, so there was really no one else to send in the court.
After figuring out everything, Li Shen said:
"Don't worry, Aye. As a prince, I should share the worries of the Li family. There is no man in my Li family who is afraid of death.
I will definitely guard the rear for the soldiers on the front line, ensure the safety of food and grass, and prevent the villains from succeeding.
To enhance the prestige of our Tang Dynasty."
Li Shen had a serious look on his face. Although he loved money and enjoyed himself, he also had a patriotic heart. Every man had a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country. Moreover, he was a prince, not an ordinary man.
When Li Shimin heard Li Shen's bold words, he burst into laughter and said:
"Okay, haha, you are indeed worthy of being a son of the Li family. I was right about you.
I am very pleased that you have such a heart.
Don't worry, I am not a stingy person. When you return to the court, the matter of you defrauding me of four million strings of cash will be written off."
"......" Li Shen was speechless.
The carriage continued to move forward. Li Shen turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to his father. However, Li Shimin was in high spirits and seemed particularly happy.
If he wasn't afraid of losing, Li Shen really wanted to experience what it felt like to assassinate the king in the carriage.
It’s been such a long time since this happened, but his father still remembers it. It’s just an old matter. Losing is losing. Now it seems his father can’t afford to lose.
Li Shen felt a little contemptuous for using this as a reward. Even if you write me a blank check or just draw a pie in the sky, I can still have enough to eat.
In this way, Li Shen was depressed all the way, while Li Shimin was in a good mood, and it took them an hour to reach Cuiwei Palace.
"I send you off respectfully, Aye."
After getting off the carriage, Li Shen bowed to Li Shimin.
"What? Don't you want to go up and sit down?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
"My dear father, I can't afford it. What if a cup of tea costs me millions of coins? I can't afford it even if I sell Prince Ji's Mansion." Li Shen declined with a serious look on his face.
Who can bear millions of dollars at any time?
"Asshole, what are you talking about? Do you think I am you?"
Li Shimin saw the resentful Li Shen and cursed him angrily.
"Your mother asked you to come over for a farewell meal before you leave."
"Thank you very much for your love and care, mother. Please tell mother that I will come to bid farewell to her before leaving." Li Shen bowed calmly again.
"Remember what I told you." Li Shimin said, and then took his men back to Cuiwei Palace.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
