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

His Majesty Li Er's speech naturally received a burst of gratitude from the Turkic envoys.

The ministers in the court, including Wei Zheng, all turned their attention to someone in unison.

"Second brother... everyone is looking at you..." His Highness King Wei quietly looked around, and then secretly said to Li Kuan in front of him.

"Second brother, my father is also looking at you..." Li Ke's focus was naturally different from his: "You must not..."

"What, when is the court dismissed?" Li Kuan's voice was not loud, but it still seemed abrupt in the quiet hall. However, everyone did not have any objections to this. On the contrary, except for a few people, they felt a little disappointed. Besides, everyone was obviously relieved.

Especially Tang Jian, the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Kuan was filled with relief. At the same time, our Lord Tang turned around and glanced at Yu Shinan next to him with disdain. His intention is self-evident: After all, it is up to Duke Xiao to teach His Royal Highness the King of Chu to be more polite, and you, old man Yu, have to take action. , what have you been doing in the past?

"If you fucking look at me like that again, do you believe that I'll beat you up?" Yu Shinan and Tang Jian had always been at odds with each other. Now that they saw each other being so provocative, how could Master Yu, who was so fiery in nature, coddle each other.

But one thing has to be said: Master Yu today has become more and more "Chu Man".

"Humph!" Tang Jian snorted coldly and turned his head without answering.

Subsequently, the meeting ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

After Li Kuan walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, he was called to his side by Yu Shinan. The master and apprentice walked to the corner of the square, and Yu Shinan took the lead in asking a question: "His Royal Highness, King of Chu, tell me the truth, what do you think of today's events? "

"What else can you say? This king..." Li Kuang was just about to answer when he looked up and saw Xiao Yu rushing towards them, so he said hello: "Master Xiao."

"Hmph!" Yu Shinan suddenly snorted coldly, glared at Xiao Yu, and then stopped talking.

"What's going on?" Li Kuan looked at Master Yu who was now like a fighting cock. He was a little confused. What had happened to the old man recently? Why was he so angry every day?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Xiao Yu asked the same question as Yu Shinan when he came: "Why didn't you take action today?"

"Master Xiao... I am... today... I am not..." Li Kuan was halfway through the conversation and found that he seemed to have been bypassed. He immediately looked at his two mentors dumbfounded and said: "Why did I take action? The king is not the one who calls the shots, so it is my turn to comment on this kind of thing?"

"But Your Highness, the food in the court now can be used to rescue the Turks, but only the batch you raised originally." Xiao Yu looked very serious: "I originally wanted to object to Your Majesty on this matter. Yes, but you don’t have any objections, and I don’t seem to have much to say..."

"Oh, what a big deal." Li Kuan waved his hand after hearing this: "My father is broad-minded and can treat the Turkic people as human beings. To be honest, this is a good thing. But I actually know that my father did this. To put it bluntly, I want to weaken the power of the Turks in a fair and just way. That bitch Jieli is not as generous as my father. Besides, this time Tuli Khan came to ask for help, doesn’t he, Jieli, know? Haha...it’s that dog designated I feel ashamed of myself, but think about it, Tuli Khan has benefited from us, will he not be greedy? Hey..." Li Kuan said this and smiled: "I promise, this time the envoy will bring If you go back with the food, there is a high probability that Jieli will snatch it away. Don’t think that they are just getting a share of the pie. The Turks are real people, and there is a high probability that Tuli will make Jieli’s wedding dress this time.”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Xiao Yu looked at Li Kuan who was talking eloquently and said with some relief: "It is really not easy for His Highness the King of Chu to think of this level, but in this way, Datang will benefit from Jie Li in vain. ?”

"But Tuli will be bullied by his uncle Jieli like this?" Li Kuan asked back: "The rabbit bites people when he is anxious! Isn't his Tuli necessarily worse than a rabbit?"

"But Your Highness the King of Chu," Yu Shinan, who had been fascinated before, suddenly asked, "What if Jie Li didn't act as you expected?"

"No, Jie Li will definitely do this." Li Kuan looked very serious at this time: "After all, this reckless man is not like me..."

"..." Xiao Yu and Yu Shinan looked at each other after hearing this. It is really difficult to comment on His Highness King Chu's words, and it is also difficult to express them...

After a while...

"Haha... Your Highness, Your Highness... Haha..." The two old men who had worked hard to suppress their laughter finally stopped and began to lament one of the few advantages of a certain person: "You are really self-aware..."

"That's not true." Li Kuan didn't feel dissatisfied at all with his teacher's evaluation, and looked contented on his face. Then he said sternly, "So just give this food to me. Just treat it as money to buy peace." ——If the Turks can’t get food, they have to rob it. When the war breaks out in the north, I don’t know how many people will die. Besides, my father is not really weak. Didn’t you hear his last words? If the Turks If people repay kindness after harvesting food and continue to invade our Tang Dynasty territory and kill our Tang people, then our Tang Dynasty can use any means to retaliate openly. No matter how cruel or ruthless, they Turks should accept it honestly. Stay! Because this is the retribution for them breaking their promise and getting fat!"

When Li Kuan said the last words, his face had completely darkened: "Don't say that my father will retaliate at that time. Even I, the king, will wear armor and go into battle myself - if I can't kill these bandits, how can I have the nerve to use the King of Chu's Do you call yourself a "barbarian" in front of others? - Previously, I knew that all the officials in the court were looking at me, thinking that I would beat the Turkic envoys just like I beat the Goguryeo envoys. In fact, all the officials were wrong.

The reason why I don't take action today is because I know that the Turks will definitely take action in the future. At that time, it will be the time to truly settle the blood feud accumulated by the ancestors of the Central Plains and the grasslands for hundreds of thousands of years!

By the way, as for Goguryeo," Li Kuan said this, he took a deep look at Xiao Yu, who was silent in front of him, and then said: "Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo were indeed tyranny. But his decision to attack Goguryeo was right, so we will also attack Goguryeo in the future, but we just can't spare any time now.

But they couldn't spare their hands, but they had to make a posture of being able to attack them at any time. The envoys of Goguryeo acted boldly at the Great Court meeting that day, and made it clear that they did not take the Tang Dynasty seriously. To put it bluntly, this was a test before the war. , if the Tang Dynasty is as weak as they think, I am afraid that what we will face next is not only the Turks, but also the Goguryeo people. "To this day, Li Kuan has revealed the real reason for taking action that day, but regardless of whether it was Xiao Yu or Yu Shinan, except for a moment of shock in their eyes, they both acquiesced to His Highness the King of Chu's unique insights - even if As sophisticated as they were, they also recognized Li Kuan's analysis.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Xiao Yu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your strategy is really going to fool countless people..."

"Is that important?" Li Kuan asked back, and then continued without waiting for Xiao Yu's answer: "Towards Goguryeo, we need to be powerful, otherwise these guys will pop out to cause trouble sooner or later. As for the Turks, for the time being, it is still It is better to paralyze the other party with a benevolent attitude. Of course, whether it is Yeon Gaesumun or Tuli's envoy, I estimate that the treatment of these two people will be similar after they return: Gao Jianwu wants colored glaze, Jieli wants food, so Tuli and Tuli Yeon Gaesumun, two brothers in distress, will face the same situation: either they will break out in humiliation, or they will perish in humiliation... Speaking of which... Hey! They both have to thank me!"
