Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Chengqian didn't understand. Even if he ate a lot of meat and fish every day, he wouldn't spend that much money in a day.

But Li Shen just wouldn't eat what was available, and would only eat what wasn't available.

Seafood, a local specialty, was transported to Chang'an City at full speed, and the shipping cost was more expensive than the ingredients.

Living a luxurious and extravagant life is like wanting to enjoy all the wealth in the world.

Not to mention him, even his father, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not live as luxuriously as Li Shen.

Is it necessary to do this just for a bite of food?

Li Shen snorted and said in a lecturing tone:

"Humph, since Big Brother knows how much two thousand strings of cash is worth, why do you still look down on it?

Do you know that in the Tang Dynasty, 80% of people could not earn 2,000 strings of cash in their entire lives?

Ninety percent of the people in the Tang Dynasty earned less than ten strings of cash a year.

I gave you two thousand strings of cash, enough for you to indulge in the finest food in the Eastern Palace for over a month. Yet you are still not satisfied.

Have you ever heard of the saying "a snake cannot swallow an elephant?"

"What's missing?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

"That..." Li Shen couldn't remember it for a moment. "Yes, greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant, which means that being too greedy is not good and will easily bring disaster."

Li Shen suddenly remembered something and slapped his thigh.

"Haha." Li Chengqian sneered twice. "Is this sentence used to describe you?"

"It's only two thousand anyway, take it or not." Li Shen didn't want to argue with Li Chengqian, so he straightened his neck and said, "Whatever."

"Well, in that case, I will have no choice but to report today's events to Aye, saying that you blackmailed the Tibetan king and brought shame to the royal family.

By that time, I still hope you can remain as strong as ever."

Li Chengqian even turned his head away.

Li Shen's eyes were blazing with anger and his fists were clenched. If he couldn't beat him, he would have beaten him up in this carriage.

How old are you, and you still resort to tattling? Don't you want to make people laugh at you? You are the prince.

After thinking for a while, Li Shen finally said unwillingly:

"You're so cruel, fifty thousand strings of cash is fifty thousand strings of cash. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, just wait and see."

There was no other way. If his father knew about this, he would probably have to pay him 100,000 strings of cash. He could be punished with just one sentence for bringing shame to the royal family.

After all, his money did not come from a legitimate source, and his father had done a lot of robbing other people.

It would be more cost-effective to give Li Chengqian 50,000 strings of cash as a hush money now.

"Haha, thank you very much for your generosity, Tenth Brother. I am deeply grateful and will repay you handsomely in the future."

Seeing Li Shen being defeated, Li Chengqian laughed heartily. This was the first time he had defeated Li Shen. The money was not important. The joy of victory was what made him happy.

"Humph."

Li Shen snorted coldly and ignored Li Chengqian. Like father, like son, and Li Chengqian was not a good guy either.

"Tenth brother, how do you think we can use Songtsen Gampo to maximize our benefits?"

Li Chengqian changed the subject and asked.

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Li Shen turned his head away. He was very sad now.

Li Chengqian was not angry, he just smiled and said nothing.

I don't know how long it was before I felt the carriage stop.

"Your Highness, we are almost at the medical school. Your Highness Prince Ji is going to the medical school. Your Highness can take a carriage instead."

Wang Zhong's voice came from outside.

"Let Duke Zhao and the others go back first. Prince Ji and I will go to the medical school and then return to the city together."

Li Chengqian gave an order outside the city.

"You are sick." Li Shen said again in a bad mood.

Why doesn't Li Chengqian look like a prince at all now? He originally wanted to ask Songtsen Gampo something today, so he was a little late.

He wanted to avoid meeting the prince at the same time, but unexpectedly they arrived at the same time, so it was inconvenient for him to ask about the matter.

Now he is going to inspect the medical school, and this guy wants to follow him. How can he talk to Sun Simiao about things? Can he let outsiders know about making money?

"That's right, I do need to go to the medical school to have Dr. Sun treat me."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.

Soon, the team split into two teams. Li Chengqian's six commanders sent out a group of people to escort Changsun Wuji and other court ministers back to Chang'an City.

The rest followed Li Shen's carriage to the medical school.

Today, the medical school has been expanded, with several three-story buildings added at the back, all built with cement bricks and tiles.

Originally, Li Shen wanted to build a taller building, but considering that he didn't know much about architecture and what if it collapsed, he could only try slowly at first.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

The carriage went directly into the First Hospital of the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Simiao and all the doctors came out to greet them.

"Well, there's no need to be so polite, Doctor Sun." Li Chengqian smiled and nodded after getting out of the car.

"Alright, there are still so many patients here. Just do what needs to be done. Doctor Sun, let's go upstairs and talk."

After Li Shen got off the carriage, he frowned as he looked at so many people and said.

Sun Simiao agreed, asked everyone to disperse, and then brought Li Shen and Li Chengqian to the office.

After the host and guest were seated, tea was served to them.

"Doctor Sun, I haven't been sleeping well recently. The Crown Prince prescribed a prescription for me to help me sleep for a short time, but I'm still having the same problem, and I often don't want to eat.

I wonder what's going on?" Li Chengqian spoke first after taking a sip of tea.

Oh my god, this guy is really sick. Li Shen, who was standing by, was surprised. He thought Li Chengqian was just joking.

"This old Taoist priest will take the pulse of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Sun Simiao walked over and sat down.

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand.

After a long while, Sun Simiao let go of his hand that was taking the pulse and asked.

"Your Highness, have you been feeling a bit tired lately?"

"That's right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often reviews memorials until midnight." Wang Zhong said on behalf of Li Chengqian.

"Well, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often overeat?" Sun Simiao asked again.

Wang Zhong nodded:

"It is true. Sometimes, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince delays his meals due to attending to state affairs, he will eat more at night."

"Your Highness, this is caused by overwork, irregular diet, damp heat in the spleen and stomach, and liver qi attacking the stomach.

This caused His Highness to suffer from weak spleen and stomach, food stagnation, and insomnia.

I believe the imperial physician should have prescribed some tonic medicine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But the key point is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take care of his health on a daily basis.

Don't overwork, eat on time, and don't sit for long periods of time. You'll recover after a period of recuperation."

Sun Simiao explained the cause of Li Chengqian's illness to him, and Li Shen listened attentively.

Actually, it's just tiring. I don't eat on time, I don't do much exercise, I often sit all day, and I also have to type and review memorials.

It’s good enough if I don’t have stomach pain or hemorrhoids.

"Thank you, Doctor Sun. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Li Chengqian was relieved to hear that he was not seriously ill. He also asked the imperial physician to see him in the palace. The medicine he took did not improve his condition, which made him think that he might have a serious illness.
