Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 95: The arrogant Qin Shi Huang and the disappointed Li Shimin

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin looked at each other.

"You go to my place!"

"Go to my place!"

"My place!"

"My place!"

Li Shimin curled his lips and said:
"What's so good about your Xianyang Palace?"

"It would be nice if you let me take a look at your Afang Palace."

Li Shimin looked down on the Xianyang Palace where Qin Shihuang now lived.

It cannot be said that they look down on it. Comparing the Xianyang Palace with the Afang Palace, the Afang Palace is naturally better.

The history books described the Afang Palace so well, but in the end it was burned down by Xiang Yu.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could go and see it for yourself while Qin Shihuang was still alive and the Afang Palace was still under construction?

I can't afford to build such a luxurious palace myself, but it's okay to take a look at it, right?
"Is my Xianyang Palace so bad?"

"Tang Emperor, please do not underestimate my Xianyang Palace!"

"This is the Xianyang Palace built by our ancestors from generation to generation!"

"Moreover, every time I conquered a country, I would build that country's palace on top of the Xianyang Palace!"

"After destroying the six kingdoms, my Xianyang Palace not only has the characteristics of the Qin Dynasty, but also has many palaces of the other six kingdoms!"

"How could you not look down upon the Xianyang Palace?"

"Then how good is your palace?"

Qin Shi Huang asked back.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin snorted coldly:

"Humph!"

"My Taiji Palace..."

Ye Jiangnan was very annoyed by these two arguments.

"stop!"

"I told you two to go argue with each other, not here with me!"

"If you can't come to an agreement, just roll the dice."

"Whoever has the most points gets to talk about the child first!"

Ye Jiangnan said this, snapped his fingers, and produced a dice.

"Which of you comes first?"

Ye Jiangnan, holding the dice in his hand, asked Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin.

After asking this question, Ye Jiangnan immediately regretted it.

"He comes first!"

Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin said in unison.

Ye Jiangnan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Respect the old and love the young, the old should go first, King Qin, you go first."

Ye Jiangnan directly asked Qin Shihuang to come first.

Ye Jiangnan said so, and Qin Shihuang did not refuse.

He took the dice from his hand and threw it on the coffee table.

The dice rolled on the coffee table for a long time and finally stopped.

Finally, the dice stopped on the black "two".

Li Shimin saw the dice with the number "2" facing up and shouted excitedly:

"two!"

"Hahaha! I'm definitely going to win!"

Qin Shihuang's face was gloomy.

How lucky am I?
"King Tang, you throw it."

Ye Jiangnan handed the dice to Li Shimin again.

Before throwing the dice, Li Shimin said to Qin Shihuang proudly:
"Qin Huang, I think it's better not to throw it away."

"Your idiot, any one of my random throws will be bigger than yours!"

Qin Shi Huang heard this and snorted coldly:

"Not always!"

"If you throw out a 'one'..."

Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"Hey, I'm not like you. I'm not that unlucky."

After saying that, Li Shimin threw it on the coffee table.

The dice rolled on the coffee table and directly onto the lawn.

Li Shimin hurried over to check.

Ye Jiangnan and Qin Shihuang stretched their necks and looked at them curiously.

"One! Hahahaha!"

When Qin Shi Huang saw the red dot, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! Emperor Tang, Emperor Tang!"

"Who just said that their luck is not as bad as mine?!"

"I can beat you with just one point!"

Li Shimin: "..."

Ye Jiangnan looked at Li Shimin with a "sympathetic" look.

This guy has really bad luck.

Not only is my luck bad, it seems my luck is also bad.

Not long after he became emperor, he encountered a drought.

Then came floods, frost, and locust plagues...

If it weren't for these natural disasters, Li Shimin's Zhenguan Reign might have been even more prosperous.

"Okay, now that we have made it clear, Emperor Tang should speak first."

Ye Jiangnan interrupted Qin Shihuang who was still mocking Li Shimin.

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Shihuang and said:
"My God, I'll tell you then!"

"Yesterday, Guanyin maid told me something."

"My eldest son, Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, actually...actually favors a male concubine!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, a look of shame and embarrassment appeared on his face.

There is nothing wrong with my son falling in love with a palace maid.

But she just happened to like a man, and that man was Le Tong.

When Li Shimin learned about this from Empress Zhangsun, he was furious and ordered the execution of the boy.

After I executed that Le Tong, Li Chengqian was very excited and had a big fight with me about it.

This morning he even found a random excuse and didn't even attend the court meeting.

After leaving court, Li Shimin wanted to go see Li Chengqian.

As a result, Li Chengqian was seen setting up a mourning hall for the boy in the Eastern Palace, and asking the palace maids, eunuchs and guards in the Eastern Palace to pay tribute to the boy.

Li Shimin was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

He was in a very upset mood and didn't know what to do for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, I came here to find Ye Jiangnan to see if I could learn some methods of educating children from Ye Jiangnan.

If he is not properly educated, who knows what outrageous things he will do in the future.

Li Shimin explained the whole story.

After listening to it, Ye Jiangnan roughly understood it.

It turns out that the ancients also played in this way.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Shimin strangely and asked curiously:
"Is your eldest son married?"

Li Shimin didn't understand why Qin Shihuang asked this, but he still answered Qin Shihuang's question.

"Yes, I have!"

"We have only been married for a short time."

The expression on Qin Shihuang's face became even weirder.

"Since you are already married, why do you still favor a boy?"

"Your eldest son, wouldn't it be... not okay?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin glared at Qin Shihuang in annoyance.

"Yours won't do!"

Li Shimin was too lazy to pay attention to Qin Shihuang, and looked at Ye Jiangnan and asked:

"Please teach me, Immortal!"

Ye Jiangnan spread his hands and said speechlessly:
"Teach you? How should I teach you?"

"You are the one who wavered and caused Li Chengqian to become what he is now."

"How do you want me to teach you?"

"You know better than me what you went through."

"Didn't you learn any lesson from this?"

The fundamental reason why Li Chengqian has become like this is Li Shimin's indecision.

As a prince, he did not enjoy the care and love that a prince should have.

Li Shimin favored Li Tai much more than he favored Li Chengqian.

As the crown prince, Li Chengqian was worried about his position as the crown prince when he saw Li Shimin like this. In addition, Li Shimin rarely cared about him, which led to Li Chengqian becoming like this.

"My experience back then?"

"I used to..."

Li Shimin didn't understand the meaning of Ye Jiangnan's words at first, but he suddenly thought of it.

"Immortal, I..."

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but Qin Shihuang patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Emperor Tang, this is where you are failing!"

"It's your own problem. Even if the immortal teaches you, it won't necessarily change anything."

Li Shimin was already feeling depressed, and after hearing what Qin Shihuang said, he became even more annoyed.

Pushing away Qin Shi Huang's hand on his shoulder, he said irritably:
"Go! Go! Go!"

"You make it sound like you've educated your child very well!"

"Your son Hu Hai is much better than my son, but he is not even a little bit inferior!"

"My son Gao Ming will inherit my throne in the future, and he will never be like your son Hu Hai!"

Qin Shi Huang laughed and said:
"How do you know that your son Gao Ming will definitely be the one to inherit the throne?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly:

"He is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, my eldest son. If he is not the heir to the throne, who will inherit the throne?"

Qin Shi Huang laughed and said:
"That's not necessarily the case!"

Ye Jiangnan also laughed and said:

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Li Shimin: "???"

If it was Qin Shihuang who said this, Li Shimin would just think that Qin Shihuang was jealous of him and deliberately cursed him to disgust him.

But when Ye Jiangnan said this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly became nervous.

"Immortal, do you mean that Gao Ming did not inherit the throne?"

Li Shimin asked in a trembling voice.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at Ye Jiangnan, then looked at Li Shimin, and asked with a smile:

"Immortal, Emperor Tang is the same as me?"

He had mocked himself before, but now he is almost the same!
Originally, Qin Shi Huang felt very uncomfortable, but now he is not so uncomfortable anymore.

"Hmm... more or less."

Ye Jiangnan answered ambiguously.

"Immortal, this is almost the same, what exactly do you mean?"

Li Shimin asked quickly.

Qin Shi Huang was curious.

"What else could it be? It must be one of your other sons who killed the prince."

"Then, he killed a bunch of brothers and sisters."

"You will inherit the throne in the end, and your family will die in the second generation!"

Li Shimin glared at Qin Shi Huang with red eyes and said:
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute!"

Emperor Qin Shihuang:"……"

Do you feel uncomfortable now?
This wasn't the expression he had when he mocked me before.

"Ahem, King Tang, don't get excited yet."

"You are better than the King of Qin. Not as bad as him."

Ye Jiangnan calmed the excited Li Shimin.

Qin Shihuang looked at Ye Jiangnan speechlessly.

When comforting others, can you please not rub salt into their bodies?

"Although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he did not inherit the throne."

"Who inherited it then? Qingque? Ke'er?"

Li Shimin subconsciously thought of Li Tai and Li Ke.

It’s not that these two sons have the intention of rebellion, but that these two sons are extremely capable.

Moreover, his ability is not inferior to Li Chengqian.

"neither."

Ye Jiangnan shook his head.

"Ah? That's Li You? Li Yin? Li Yun? Li Zhen?"

Li Shimin mentioned the names of several of his sons.

Ye Jiangnan still shook his head.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Shimin curiously and said:

"Emperor Tang, how many sons do you have?"

"Why not one?"

"Could it be that you had a child with a commoner girl outside and didn't bring it back to the palace?"

Li Shimin no longer wanted to pay attention to Qin Shihuang.

All he wanted now was to know what was going on.

Who inherited his throne afterwards?

"The one who will inherit your throne is your son, Li Zhi."

Ye Jiangnan said quietly.

"Li Zhi... Li Zhi... No, Immortal, who is this Li Zhi?"

Li Shimin said with a confused look on his face.

Qin Shi Huang was surprised:

"I guessed it right. It's the child you had with the girl from outside?!"

Ye Jiangnan said speechlessly:

"King Qin, you think too much."

Qin Shi Huang said:

"Then why didn't Emperor Tang know?"

Ye Jiangnan spread his hands and said:

"He doesn't know, that means the child hasn't been born yet!"

Li Shimin suddenly realized.

No wonder I didn’t know.

"Immortal, how did he get the throne?"

"Like Li Si and Zhao Gao, they falsely conveyed the imperial edict and killed Gao Ming and Qing Que?"

Li Shimin asked.

"He didn't do anything, but he got the throne inexplicably."

Ye Jiangnan said.

"what?"

Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang said with a confused look on their faces.

"You get the throne without doing anything?"

Li Shimin said in surprise.

If this "Li Zhi" was the eldest son and was named the crown prince at birth, he could inherit the throne without doing anything.

But this Li Zhi is not like that!

He has two older brothers!
If the eldest brother Li Chengqian passed away due to some reasons, the position of crown prince would definitely be given to the second brother Li Tai.

Could it be that Li Tai, who had always been "well-behaved", passed away due to health reasons?
Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of this.

I had long advised Li Tai to take care of his health, but he didn't listen to me.

Li Shimin was still subconsciously worried about Li Tai.

He did not think about Li Chengqian, but was particularly concerned and worried about Li Tai.

"Is such that."

Ye Jiangnan said.

"Li Chengqian was demoted to a commoner by you because of treason."

"After that, you wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince, but Li Tai told you that if he inherited the throne in the future, he would kill his son and let his younger brother Li Zhi inherit the throne."

"You and your ministers doubted his words, so you didn't make him the crown prince."

"Because of Li Chengqian's rebellion, it also implicated Li Tai in his bid for the throne."

"In order to stop Li Tai from thinking about this, you couldn't bear to see another rebellion like Li Chengqian did."

"So, you drove Li Tai out of the capital and sent him to another place to serve as a vassal king."

"And you finally made Li Zhi the crown prince."

"After Li Zhi, he will inherit your throne after your death."

Qin Shi Huang hurriedly asked:
"Immortal, did Li Zhi not kill his other brothers and sisters?"

"Emperor Tang has so many sons. If he takes the throne, isn't he worried that his throne will be unstable?"

Qin Shihuang now wishes that Li Shimin's son could be like his own son Hu Hai.

This would save Li Shimin from showing off all day long and comparing his own Qin Dynasty with his Tang Dynasty.
