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

Looking northwest to Chang'an, one can see countless mountains. (Note 1)

Just when His Royal Highness the King of Chu was missing His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er in Chang'an was also facing some headaches.

For example, it was obviously him who ordered the eldest grandson Anye to die in exile in order to fulfill his eldest son Wuji's wish, but now there are widespread rumors in the outside world that this was done by the ruthless King of Chu, Li Kuan.

I have to say that this kind of thing is indeed in line with the character of a certain barbarian king, and even in line with everyone's interests.

——Those heads of the Qiwang and Guanlong families who were deceived. After the King of Chu refused to cooperate with the Li family of Zhaojun, they understood that this King of Chu could never become their friend. of.

After recognizing this fact, they began their plan to suppress the King of Chu.

Changsun Anye was the first sharp arrow they used to shoot at the King of Chu.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the five surnames and Qi Wang, the Donggong party, which has always been unobtrusive in the court, also appeared to be particularly enthusiastic about this matter: the prince's three teachers, Li Gang, Kong Yingda and Lu Deming, This matter more or less had the effect of secretly fueling the flames. Even Lu Deming's son Lu Dunxin publicly rebuked the King of Chu for being unkind, unjust, unfilial and unfaithful - in his words: This son will be in trouble sooner or later. The world!

After all, Lu Dunxin was already in his thirties. The Chu King's henchmen felt that it would be easy to beat him to the ground if they put him in a sack, so they set their sights on Lu Dunxin's son Lu Yingke.

Poor Lu Yingke is only twelve years old now. He is such an honest child. He studies with his husband at home all day long. He rarely has a day off to take a bath. When he went out to the street, he was put in a sack and followed by a boy. It was the same treatment. Afterwards, when the master and servant ran home crying with bruises and swollen faces, Lu Deming, as the head of the Lu family, couldn't sit still at all.

The next day, the old man entered the palace early in the morning, knelt down in front of the prince Li Chengqian, and begged the prince to make the decision for him: "Your Highness, these dandies who have made friends with the King of Chu are so lawless that they dare to go out on the street in broad daylight. Putting people in sacks and starting to beat them with sticks, does this still take the laws of the Tang Dynasty into consideration?! The old minister asks Your Highness to make the decision for the old minister’s grandson!”

"Pfft..." Li Chengqian spit out the lotus seed soup after hearing this. He glared at his younger brother Li Tai, who also brought him breakfast early in the morning and wanted to eat with him. Only then did the Crown Prince react. : No wonder Qing Que, that brat, came here to show his courtesy today for the first time in history. Is this because he plans to make amends after the fact?

Okay, okay, you and your second brother have never learned anything else. The essence of "employing people is forward, not using people is backward", I think you have finally figured it out.

"Master Lu, why do I not understand what you are saying?" Li Chengqian frowned: "Your grandson was beaten, and I was very angry, but why did you insist that the one who beat him was Kuan Di's friend? "

"Also, if you said you were beaten in the street before, does that mean there is a witness?" Li Tai suddenly interjected. His move aroused Li Chengqian's displeasure. The prince glared at his stupid brother who was "more than capable of getting into trouble". , why is this brat not opening any pot? What if there is a witness?

"..." Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tai asked this question, Lu Deming remained silent for a long time.

"Master Lu?" Li Chengqian also noticed something strange at this time, so he called Lu Deming curiously, indicating that he was waiting for his next words.

"Those bastards...all of them masked in black scarves..." Lu Deming became angry when he mentioned this.

But Li Chengqian suddenly realized it at this time, and he even wanted to laugh: Okay, okay, is this a lesson learned from Changsun Anye and summed up experience? These "thieves" are really becoming more and more professional...

Covered with sacks, beaten in public, and covered with a black scarf... Li Chengqian unconsciously turned his eyes to Li Tai - well, he also knew that he would find a backer to settle the matter afterwards...

These damn guys are all talented people...

"Mr. Lu, you have no evidence, how can you make false accusations at will?" Li Tai actually knew these things well for a long time, so he is quite confident now: "You framed cousin eldest grandson, cousin Lingwu, cousin Zhewei, and Li Huairen. , Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Niu Yong, Qin Huaiyu..."

Li Chengqian on the side watched his younger brother read out the list of thugs in front of the sufferer, and he really couldn't hold back...

Oh, there are so many people, it seems that Lu Yingke's beating was really miserable.

Just when Li Chengqian pursed his lips to hold back his laughter, His Highness the King of Wei also finished a long list of "submissions of dishes": "——Forget about Tang Guan and Li Siwen, my second brother's friends, but my second brother Brother is still fighting the Turks at the border, how can you involve him in this?"

"Yes, what does this matter have to do with Gu's brother Kuan?" Li Chengqian also showed a serious questioning look at this time, which made Lu Deming feel upset and resentful towards the prince, so he spoke He was also a little rude: "My son commented on the King of Chu a few days ago, which may have aroused the dissatisfaction of some villains..."

"Oh!"

"Villain?!" Li Tai, the always good-tempered King of Wei, raised his hand and overturned the table in front of him, and the soup and water on the table were scattered all over the floor: "I have only heard about the gossip behind my back. Others are right and wrong. When Mr. Lu accuses others, should he first think about what his own son has done?"

"His Royal Highness King Wei, you..." Lu Deming also didn't expect that King Wei, who had always been good-tempered, was going crazy today. He looked at King Wei who was like a fighting cock, turned his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, who was expressionless, and felt Old Man Lu, who was supported by the student union, gritted his teeth and continued to say harshly: "Dun Xin just said a few words of justice..."

"Speak up for justice?" Li Chengqian suddenly interrupted Lu Deming's words. He looked at Lu Deming with a half-smile but said: "Master Lu, I think what Qingque said makes sense. Those who talk about other people's rights and wrongs behind their backs are villains. Otherwise, , I wrote a letter to ask Brother Kuan to come back, how about you let your son say those words again in front of him?"

"..." Lu Deming stood there blankly at this time. Li Chengqian's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering all his illusions at once.

With all the hard planning I have been putting in these days, Your Highness, Prince, are you not going to accept any favors?

Let Lu Dunxin say that he is unkind, unjust, unfilial and unfaithful in front of Li Kuan. He will definitely be a disaster in the future?

Oh, maybe as soon as Lu Dunxin said the word "unkind", the "merciful" King of Chu would take action - "a left leg kick, and then a right leg," to "save one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda" ” excuse and put the person to the ground.

Because if this guy keeps talking, King Chu will have to kill people with his sword.
