Chapter 1894: Very Low Requirements for Li Shen
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shitou expressed his gratitude again.
But five hundred acres of land is not a small amount. Although it is not much for him, King Ji has rewarded him with thousands of acres of land over the years.
But who would complain about having too much land?
"Okay, let's do what needs to be done. I'm injured and need to recover.
Didn’t Wang Hongfu bring back some top-quality deer antlers?
Ask the cook to make a deer antler stewed chicken soup, I need to replenish my energy."
Li Shen suddenly remembered that the imperial physician had said that he was in poor health, so he decided to use deer antler to replenish his body.
After hearing Li Shen's order, the servants withdrew, leaving only a few of Li Shen's women to take care of the naked Li Shen.
"Your Majesty, what on earth did you do wrong this time to be so badly injured? Didn't you say you were going to sign a contract when you went to court today?"
Wu Meiniang brought a cup of tea to Li Shen's mouth.
"Actually, it was nothing. I just had a fight with Prince Jin in the palace." Li Shen said lightly.
"What? Fighting with King Jin?"
The women were shocked to hear Li Shen's words. They actually dared to fight in the palace. No wonder they were punished so severely.
The prince is becoming more and more bold and reckless.
"Your Highness, do you want to tell the Imperial Concubine about this?" Lan Yuer asked.
"What did you say to my mother? That I was beaten? There is absolutely no need for that. I don't want my mother to worry.
It's not a big deal." Li Shen shook his head.
Soon the doctor brought the medicine. Li Shen drank it, felt a little sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.

Cuiwei Palace.
In Li Shimin's study, Wang Zhong and the captain were reporting what happened in the palace.
"Prince Ji and Prince Jin fought at the gate of Taiji Hall?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard the news.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened, but I don't know the reason why His Royal Highness Prince Ji and His Royal Highness Prince Jin were arguing."
The captain nodded.
"You bastards, how can this be possible? They are so bold, don't they know what the Taiji Hall is?"
Li Shimin was extremely angry. Taiji Hall was a meeting hall and it was of great significance.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Wang De hurriedly comforted him.
"You go back first." Li Shimin waved to the captain and left Wang Zhong alone.
"Tell me, how did the prince deal with it?" Li Shimin suppressed his anger and continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince will punish His Royal Highness Prince Ji and His Royal Highness Prince Jin with eighty strokes of the cane each as a warning to others."
Wang Zhong then recounted what happened next in Liangyi Palace.
“Gao Ming did a good job this time. He is the eldest brother, and he should punish those two bastards in this way.
Otherwise, who knows what the situation will be like in the future.
Does the prince know why the two of them fought each other?" Li Shimin first praised Li Chengqian for doing the right thing.
Then I asked the reason.
“Your Majesty, it seems that His Royal Highness Prince Ji and His Royal Highness Prince Jin had an argument, and then they got into a fight on impulse.
The specific reason may be related to what happened during the court today." Wang Zhong followed Li Chengqian's instructions and told everything that happened in the court.
Anyway, this is not a secret and it would be easy for Your Majesty to know.
After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned even more.
There are two things involved here. The first is the signing of the contract. Although Li Shimin did not expect this, it is also in line with Li Shen's character.
Li Shen signed the contract not for the sake of fairness, but so that he could settle accounts with the court in the future.
Perhaps Li Shen did not trust the court at all.
The second thing was that Li Shen impeached twelve people from the Liu family, which was beyond his expectations. It was obvious that Li Shen was taking revenge on Liu Shi.
It seems that Li Shen also knows the relationship between Liu Shi and Li Zhi.
And finally letting Li Zhi be the presiding judge was a means of revenge against Li Zhi.
"Go back and tell Gao Ming that he did a great job on this matter and I am very satisfied with him. It is natural for an elder brother to discipline his disobedient younger brother.
Let him focus on handling state affairs and pay attention to the war in the northwest."
Li Shimin has changed now. In the past, Li Shimin used repressive education. If something was not done well, he would scold you, but if something was done well, Li Shimin would think it was justified.
Because you are the prince, I have found so many people to teach you, it is your duty to do well.
But it is different now. After Li Shen's constant brainwashing, Li Shimin realized that Li Chengqian had character problems because he had never been recognized by him before.
Li Shen told him that he had to do both. Discipline had to be strict, since he was training a crown prince.
But you also need to give some encouragement and praise from time to time to keep Li Chengqian motivated.
Over the years, Li Shimin felt that it was very effective.
"Yes, I will definitely convey this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will take my leave now."
After Wang Zhong finished his greeting, he stepped out.
"Alas, the Tenth Master finally took revenge." Li Shimin's sigh was heard in the empty study.
"Your Majesty, I think it is normal for His Royal Highness Prince Ji to take action. From childhood to adulthood, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has never suffered any loss.
Even when playing with His Majesty and his son, they would try to take advantage, let alone suffering such a huge loss at the hands of Xizhou.
In my opinion, the most frightening thing would be if Prince Ji remained silent.
That would prove that Prince Ji is planning a bigger revenge plan, and this means of revenge would seem insignificant in comparison."
Wang De stepped forward to help Li Shimin analyze the situation. He had seen Prince Ji grow up, and he knew Li Shen as well as Li Shimin did.
He seems free and easy but he is narrow-minded and vindictive. He never leaves it until tomorrow for fear that he will forget it.
They are impulsive but also cunning. It is difficult for people to figure out such people.
"What you said does make sense. I hope that this fight can help Lao Shi get rid of his hatred. Chi Nu can just suffer a little loss. He brought this upon himself."
Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded. What Wang De said made sense. What would be most worrying would be if Li Shen remained silent.
If this child is well behaved, there might not be any big problems going on at home.
Now that Li Shen is jumping up and down all day long, Li Shimin feels very relieved.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh:
“Hahahaha, no wonder Old Ten always says not to set your standards too high, it’s really true.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if that rebellious son went out and acted like a tyrant.
But if it was the Crown Prince or any other prince, I would never let him off easily.
Wang De, why do you think this is the case? "
Li Shimin couldn't understand this. Over the years, many princes had made mistakes and were reprimanded and punished by his imperial decree.
For example, Li Ke was punished for trampling crops while hunting and gambling with his wet nurse's son, and was even dismissed from his post as governor.
Li Yin was the same way. He acted recklessly, trampled on crops, and even beat officials when his subordinates advised him against it.
Li Shimin said that he was worse than city beasts and even dismissed him from his post as governor.
But if these things happened to Li Shen, such as trampling the dealer and beating the court officials, Li Shimin would not think there was anything strange about it.
"Your Majesty, perhaps it is because Your Majesty does not have high expectations for His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Wang De sighed.
(How do you pronounce this word?)
