Chapter 2335 Can’t Get
The main purpose of Li Shen's inquiry was to inquire about his mother's situation.
But out of courtesy he still had to ask his father and the Queen first, and then ask his mother.
Now Wang Bao can actually understand what I mean. It seems that he has really made a lot of progress.
When Li Shen heard that the queen and his mother were always talking about him, he felt touched and missed them.
As the saying goes, parents are never far away. Reciting the poem "Song of the Wandering Son" by yourself can never compare to experiencing your mother's longing for you in person.
I went to Lingnan to do some work for my father. After being away for a few months, my mother missed her very much.
This time I’m away for even longer than last time. How could my mother not miss me?
Li Shen sometimes wondered whether his brothers who had left their hometowns knew how much their biological mother missed them.
When thinking of this, Li Shen felt extremely fortunate that he had made the right decision to stay in Chang'an.
Life is only a few decades long, why do you have to go to the fiefdom to make great plans? You are not trying to fight for the throne.
It would be such a happy life to stay in Chang'an like this, with no worries about food and clothing, two sons and one daughter, and the opportunity to honor my parents.
Li Shen felt much happier than his brothers who had left the country.
People have seven emotions and six desires, and naturally they need family affection. Parents are the greatest family affection in the world. They give birth to children, raise them, and teach them.
Is my father really bad to me? No, if it weren't for my father, I might be starving to death, working in the fields, or picking up horse manure outside.
Without my father, how could I have billions of wealth and live so freely? This is my original family.
Thinking of the rewards his father had just given him, Li Shen felt a little guilty at this moment. Father's love is as strong as a mountain, and there is no father who doesn't love his children.
My current salary is already far higher than that of all my brothers and sisters. Am I being too stingy to my father?
"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to Chang'an and take a look?"
Shi Tou, who was standing by, saw Li Shen's expression and said that Prince Ji missed home and the imperial concubine. After all, the prince was only a young man and seldom traveled far.
“Alas~~~, if you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are; if you don’t raise children, you don’t know the kindness of your parents.
They say a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles away, but my son is not worried even though he is a thousand miles away. This prince is unfilial."
Li Shen sighed calmly and spoke from his heart.
It is said that a good man has ambitions to travel far and wide, but having ambitions does not make him a good man. It only means that he can no longer make it in his local area and is not doing well.
"Wang Bao, please go down. I will write a letter for you to take back later.
Stone, treat me well."
Li Shen waved his hand, Wang Bao agreed, bowed and left.
While Li Shen was still in high spirits, he went to the desk, picked up a pen and began to write the letter seriously.
The first letter was to his father. Its content was full of gratitude to Li Shimin, and he expressed that he would definitely guard Anxi well until the return of the Western Expedition Army.
Let Li Shimin rest assured that he would definitely stand guard for the last time, stay here honestly, and would not cause trouble again.
Li Shen wrote with true feelings and from the bottom of his heart. If Li Shimin had read it, he would have felt that Li Shen had come to his senses.
He wrote two large articles in a very fluent manner, but the main problem was that Li Shen's characters were too large and he was not good at seal script and regular script.
After finishing writing, Li Shen finally expressed all the emotions in his heart, and then he felt happy.
He picked up the imperial edict and threw it to Wang Xuance:
"Come and read it to me again."
Because there were many characters in the book that Li Shen did not recognize, and they were difficult for a semi-illiterate him to understand, he had to ask Wang Xuance to do it for him.
Wang Xuance took the imperial edict and read it again to Li Shen. Li Shen became happier as he listened.
Just then Shitou came back, and Li Shen asked him to read it again. He liked the eunuch's tone, and with this tone the imperial edict had soul.
It’s a pity that it would be better if you added “秦故~~~” at the end.
"Haha, look, this trip wasn't in vain. His Majesty is still very kind to me. My salary has more than doubled.
This prince alone receives the salary of two people, which makes him much more powerful than Li Tai and Li Zhi, haha."
Li Shen showed off the imperial edict to everyone. Who was Li Zhi? Who was Li Tai? So what if they were legitimate sons? His father still doted on him, the illegitimate son.
This person must always have some value, even if it is the value of being exploited.
Otherwise, you are a useless person, no different from a walking corpse.
"That...Prince...Prince..." Shitou on the side had a conflicted look on his face. He had something to say but didn't dare to.
But it seemed wrong not to say anything. He should remind King Ji.
"What's the matter? Stop hesitating and don't force me to beat you when I'm in a good mood." Li Shen glared at Shi Tou.
"I want to ask...I want to ask...I wonder if Your Majesty's reward will be paid separately or added to the salary?"
"Hmm? What do you mean? Of course it's added to the salary. The fiefdom is 20,000 households, and all rations are tripled."
Hearing Shi Tou's words, Li Shen frowned in confusion.
"If that's the case...if that's the case..." Shitou didn't dare to say any more. He knew that after he said this, King Ji might go berserk and even explode on the spot.
Li Shen saw Shitou like this, his face turned a little ugly, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you continue like this, don't blame me for punishing you.
Is it because I'm too good to you? Do you not take me seriously anymore?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I absolutely dare not do that. If what you said is true, then you may not be able to receive the reward from His Majesty."
Seeing that Li Shen was angry, Shi Tou quickly spoke out.
"What do you mean?" Li Shen was a little confused. He had no idea what Shi Tou meant by this sentence.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that your salary has been withheld for many years?"
"Oh no! I forgot about this. This means that I can only receive the reward from His Majesty after my salary is deducted."
Li Shen slapped his forehead. He didn't know what salary was. He had never received a salary, so he had forgotten about it long ago.
After Shitou reminded him, Li Shen remembered that his salary had been deducted in advance, and it seemed that it had been deducted for several years.
Thinking of this, Li Shen hurriedly asked:
"How many years has this prince's salary been withheld? How many years are left for him to receive it?"
In Li Shen's opinion, the current salary is double, and one year's salary is equivalent to two years, and twenty years of salary can make up for the previous loss.
I am still young now. In twenty years I won’t be fifty yet, which is not the retirement age.
All income from now on is earned.
Thinking of this, Li Shen felt much more relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"This... I'm not sure, but the last time I calculated, it seems that Your Highness can only receive his salary when he is fifty-seven years old."
"How much did you say!!!"
