Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Really... you just came back to see me..." His Royal Highness, King Chu, who was mumbling while carrying a bag of food, noticed that something was not right as soon as he entered the Tai Chi Hall.

First of all, the person guarding the door was not Zhang Nan, the chief internal officer, but Hong San, an old official.

It's just that this old man, who is equivalent to Li Er's personal bodyguard, looks at him a little strangely.

Later, when Li Kuan subconsciously looked at the center of the hall, he suddenly felt something bad: he saw his eldest brother Li Chengqian, his third brother Li Ke, and his fourth brother Li Tai. The three brothers were kneeling in a row to be scolded. His Majesty Li Er, the father at the head, looked at him with a playful look.

"Ha...ha..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who thought that his brothers had been settled by his father again, first said haha: "Dad, what's the matter with me? I just returned to the palace..."

"Ha..." Li Er sneered and glanced at his four sons: "Tell me, what good things have you done recently?"

"Father, you know me! I listened to my elder brother recently. I haven't gone anywhere or done anything. I'm just fishing in the imperial garden!" At this time, Li Tai, who was full of grievances, seemed to have finally found something. A chance to vent, he immediately defended himself.

"What about you?" Li Er looked at Li Chengqian.

"Father..." Li Chengqian pursed his lips. He estimated that this matter was probably related to Li Kuan, but as the eldest brother, he often had to take responsibility: "You know me. Recently, in addition to arranging Brother Kuan to do some things, Besides, I’m also very well-behaved.”

Li Kuan on the side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard what his eldest brother said. He was going to take the blame for himself without knowing anything.

Um! So loyal! It's not like my hard work is in vain.

"Haha... OK!" Li Er's voice carried a sense of oppression without anger and self-power. Then, he looked at Li Ke: "Ke'er, what about you?"

"Father..." At this time, Li Ke tried to imitate while recalling the way his second brother spoke in vain: "You know me. Since the last time, I have been acting more low-key..."

"Okay, okay," His Majesty Li Er nodded noncommittally, and then he looked at a certain person: "What about you?"

"Father, you know me..." Li Kuang was about to maintain his formation when he was interrupted by His Majesty Li Er.

"Father knows it's you." His Majesty Li Er realized that as long as a certain son calls him "Father", he will most likely get into trouble, and he himself has not noticed this yet: "Do you want Dad to give you a reminder?"

"What? I've been very good recently, dad, please don't frame Zhonghao, okay?" At this time, His Highness the King of Chu was already sweating.

what's the situation? Why do you think this foolish king's posture looks like he's convinced of me?

"There is a loquat tree in the courtyard——" As soon as His Majesty Li Er said these words, the smile on the face of a certain filial son suddenly froze.

My life is over!

Li Kuan finally understood why Hong San was guarding the door.

This is to prevent yourself from escaping!

"Ha...ha..." Li Kuan quickly cursed Niu Jinda in his heart for having become a traitor at some point, and said with a smile: "Dad, you are joking, but you can't take it seriously."

"——Planted in the year my father died, it is now as tall as a canopy." As soon as Li Er finished speaking, a gasp of air rang out in the hall.

Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian all turned to look at Li Kuan in unison, and a sentence emerged in their hearts at the same time: The second brother (younger brother) is really a warrior!

However, as the prince, Li Chengqian thought of his previous move to take the blame for Li Kuan... At this time, he really regretted it.

I can't carry it, I can't carry it at all!

If his father puts the blame back on him, Li Chengqian really doesn't know what he should do...

"Father...Father!" Li Kuan looked at Li Er who suddenly stood up and said with a somewhat panicked expression: "Listen to my explanation first."

"I won't listen." Li Er slowly loosened the belt around his waist and gave Hong San a look at the door.

With a "squeak" sound, the palace door slowly closed.

Next, there is the familiar scene of "The King of Chu surrounds the pillar".

After Li Kuan howled and received a beating from His Majesty Li Er, the three brothers who witnessed all this knelt even more upright.

"Ke'er", His Majesty Li Er, who had finished teaching a certain boy, turned his head and glanced at Li Ke: "Father is giving you a chance. What are you hiding from Father?"

"..." After Li Ke glanced at Li Kuan, who was rubbing his butt vigorously, his eyes dropped slightly, still refusing to speak.

"Okay, Xiao Ke, let's talk. Anyway, the matter is almost settled. We brothers can hide their merits and fame and make a glorious exit." Li Kuan didn't want his younger brother to suffer physical pain with him. Later, in With his support, Li Ke finally plucked up the courage to tell the whole story.

Of course, this does not include the part where Li Kuan disguised himself as "Shan Ling" and went to Qiwang of the fifth surname to buy food.

But just hearing that Li Kuan and Li Ke had obtained 1.2 million shi of grain from others, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were completely shocked.

Especially Li Tai, at this time, his head was full of question marks.

He had a sense of decadence that "my rebellious brother passed by my whole world, but I only remember fishing."

Of course, he also expressed his understanding that his two brothers did not take him to play the game of "anti-thief house". After all, according to his temperament, in front of those old foxes, his secret would most likely be exposed.

"So, Brother Kuan and Brother Ke, you got 1.2 million shi of food?" After Li Chengqian was surprised, he immediately felt a burst of heartfelt joy: "In this way, the people affected by the disaster can be saved!"

"More than 1.2 million stones," Li Kuan raised his eyebrows at his eldest brother somewhat proudly. He was about to show off his previous plan, but then he thought of a certain foolish king who "killed the virtuous", and at this time he wore a belt around his waist. "The blood is still fresh." He still put away his arrogant thoughts and said honestly: "I used other means to get 800,000 shi of food before. Just now, I negotiated a deal of 1 million shi." business, so this time, your brother, I got you three million stones of food, how about it, big brother, am I good?"

Yes, in the end, His Royal Highness the King of Chu still has his true nature, but showing off is still showing off, and he does have the capital.

"Brother Kuan, you are really..." Li Chengqian looked at Li Kuan with complicated eyes. Once again, he felt that he was not as good as his brother.

"Don't be too moved." When his father didn't say anything, Li Kuan simply waved his hand to indicate that the matter was nothing more than a trivial matter. Then he explained to Li Chengqian: "The batch of grain will arrive in Chang'an soon, but this time It's not just hoarding it in one place. In order to hide it from others, these family heads transported the food in batches to some wealthy merchants affiliated with them in the three counties of Chang'an. At that time, we only need to go to their warehouse according to the list they gave us. Just get food from there.

That's right, brother. Li Kuan seemed to have just remembered something, and suddenly said to Li Chengqian: "You can write a few letters in the name of the prince, and express your condolences to the heads of the aristocratic families who were inspired by you to sell grain to the court." Appreciate it. This way, the matter will be settled. "

As soon as Li Kuan said these words, Li Chengqian was stunned.

Does Kuandi mean to give the credit to himself?
