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

"Li Gong, what you are doing is indeed inappropriate." Dou Shilun has always had the consciousness of "humiliating his ministers to death", so when he saw Li Kuan being neglected, he immediately said coldly: "I know you are angry with His Majesty the King of Chu." Let him go, but Mr. Li, you should listen to His Highness King Chu’s thoughts before making a statement, right?”

"..." Li Jing looked at Dou Shilun, who suddenly fell out with him. To be honest, he felt a little nervous inside.

He was very worried that Dou Shilun would report to his wife later that he was disrespectful to the head of the family, and he would really suffer if he turned around.

It should be noted that although Empress Taimu had long stated that Hongfunu was not required to perform any duties as a retainer, Hongfunu still regarded herself as a retainer of the Dou family. For example, this time when the King of Chu went on an expedition, if she had not stopped her with her life, , and repeatedly assured that the King of Chu would be worry-free, then Li Kuan would see Hong Funu, one of the Three Heroes of the Fengchen, who "takes off her red makeup and puts on her arms", and her heroic appearance on the battlefield, which is not inferior to that of a woman.

"Okay..." Facing the possible crisis in the inner house, Li Jing finally chose to bow to the King of Chu: "Your Highness, the King of Chu, it was my fault..."

"I don't accept your apology!" Li Kuan said with a straight face and cut off Li Jing's words. Then, he thought for a while: "Unless you smile at me like you did to Uncle Dou just now!"

"..." Dou Shilun felt that he really spoke unnecessary.

"..." Li Jing felt that His Highness King Chu probably had a brain disease - he had heard rumors that King Chu climbed a tree and fell on his head, and he thought it should be true.

"You're not smiling, are you?" Li Kuan waited for a long time and saw that Li Jing didn't respond. He immediately shook his head and sighed: "Okay, okay, I'm just a barbarian King of Chu, and I really can't handle the majestic General Li..."

"Mr. Li, have you sent people to chase Jieli Khan now?" Dou Shilun didn't bother to talk to His Highness the King of Chu who was making trouble for him, and began to seriously ask Li Jing about Jieli's whereabouts.

"I sent Su Dingfang to lead eight hundred cavalry to catch up. I didn't plan to catch up. I just hope I won't lose my target..." Li Jing sighed after hearing this, feeling that His Highness the King of Chu had to let Jie Li go before. Khan, what a bad move.

"Su Dingfang?" Li Kuan listened to Li Jing's words and immediately stopped acting like a rogue. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Jing's arm: "Uncle Li, Su Dingfang is in your army? Why didn't you tell me earlier? !”

"..." Li Jing looked at His Highness King Chu's eyes that were so hot that it seemed to melt him. He didn't know what to say for a moment. It could be seen that the other party was clearly trying to entangle him. He thought for a while and sighed. : "Your Highness King Chu, Su Dingfang is just a sixth-grade captain under my command who is easy to use. Why do you..." Why do you make it seem like I have hidden some powerful general?

"Ah? Uh..." After listening to Li Jing's words, Li Kuan realized that he seemed to have been excited too early. Su Dingfang had not yet been reused. Moreover, it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the stars were gathering, and it belonged to his Su Dingfang era. , we still have to wait for several years.

But nothing could stop Li Kuan, a clever little guy like him. When he saw Li Jing looking at him with suspicion, he immediately laughed: "Well... I just think the name Su Dingfang sounds domineering, Dingfang Dingfang. To pacify one side, just by the name, he is a general!"

"..." Li Jing could no longer understand the little bastard in front of him.

"By the way, who took the advantage of being the first to attack the city this time?" Li Kuan, determined to change the subject, seized the opportunity and led the topic to something else.

"It's He Mingshan." Dou Shilun laughed when he heard this: "This boy is very skilled and not afraid of death. With a little bit of luck, he just happened to be ahead of Jiang Sheng and took the lead in killing the city. His He family can also be regarded as There are signs of revitalization.”

"That's good," Li Kuan nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Li Jing: "Uncle Li, when writing the battle report, remember to ask for credit for this person."

"..." Li Jing felt that this was where the trouble lay. If they capture or kill Jie Li when they capture Dingxiang City, then the promise Li Kuan made earlier will naturally be easily fulfilled by His Majesty Li Er. Now……

"Uncle Li, there is no need to worry about it." Li Kuan naturally saw Li Jing's dilemma, and immediately said boldly: "After all, I personally risked the target and went back and forth on the grassland, so why don't you give me the face of Hunjun?"

"Your Highness, you are really..." Li Jing didn't know how to evaluate the father-son relationship between King Chu and His Majesty Li Er. How should I put it? Your Majesty regards King Chu as his son, but King Chu always thinks that Your Majesty is his brother...

His Majesty Li Er hopes that the father will be kind and the son will be filial, and our King of Chu is the dream brother (His Majesty Li Er) and the friend brother "Kuan" (Li Kuan)...

Just wait, when you return to Chang'an, you and your son will definitely be in a state of turmoil again...

"I will consider this matter myself." Li Jing sighed, taking over this troublesome matter. Then, Li Jing looked at Dou Shilun again: "Mr. Dou, could you please tell me about the response in Dingxiang City?"

"It's inconvenient." Dou Shilun smiled and turned Li Jing back: "This matter involves the Dou family's background. It is really inconvenient."

Well, in this way, this day can be regarded as a dead end.

When Li Kuan and Dou Shilun descended from the city, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked back at Li Jing, who was standing straight at the top of the city and continuing to issue defensive instructions. He couldn't help but said to Dou Shilun: "Uncle Dou, Uncle Li wants to know about the internal response. Just tell him."

"Your Highness..." Dou Shilun looked at Li Kuan helplessly: "When we go north this time, we have exposed enough of our family background..."

"Okay..." Li Kuan understood that Dou Shilun was doing all this for his own sake, but to be honest, he was also very curious about how Dou Shilun arranged the internal response in the city, so he couldn't help but asked quietly: "Then follow me Tell me?"

Dou Shilun glanced at His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was full of curiosity, thought for a moment, and then said: "Turkic nobles have always had the habit of buying slaves, so since we set off from Chang'an, several groups of merchants from the Western Regions have entered Dingxiang City and started to buy slaves. Turkic nobles trade slaves..."

"Those slaves are my retainers?!" For some reason, after learning the news, Li Kuan suddenly felt guilty in his heart.

"Not entirely," Dou Shilun was obviously a bit secretive about this topic. He only briefly explained: "Your Highness, don't worry, although our retainers are quite large, they are not cabbages on the roadside that can be harvested casually. In fact, This civil strife is not only caused by our people, Li Jing may also have placed internal personnel in the city, otherwise it would be impossible to cause such a big disturbance in the blink of an eye." When Dou Shilun said this, he seemed to be reminiscing, and then said : "At that time, the noble slaves collectively rioted and killed the guards. After getting the weapons, our Hu merchants lit the kerosene hidden in tents in various places in the city. However, those who took advantage of the chaos secretly shot the Turks with arrows. The aristocrats and petty military leaders are not our fault."

"Li Jing also arranged for manpower?!" Li Kuan's eyes widened when he heard this, but Li Jing didn't have such a background as his own...

"It's Your Majesty." Dou Shilun spoke concisely and to the point, instantly waking up Li Kuan.

"Okay... this Hunjun... um... is quite capable of getting into trouble." After Li Kuan finished speaking, he raised his head and looked silently at Chang'an. Not to mention, at this moment, he quite missed his father.
