but……

Li Chengqian remembered that after he signed the warrant that day, it didn’t take long for his father to call him to the Taiji Hall. The other party slowly corrected the memorial and said to himself: "This matter has nothing to do with you two brothers. My father will take care of it." deal with."

Then he was driven back to the East Palace to continue studying.

Li Chengqian is not a fool. In fact, his father can see all the movements of his prince Liusui. This is not surprising.

The strange thing is what the father said.

Li Chengqian thought about it secretly for a long time before he finally came to his senses.

It was not Kuan Di who took action, but his father.

But why did the father want to do it secretly?

Li Chengqian, who felt that there was something fishy about the matter, began to investigate. In the end, all the clues pointed to one person, his other uncle, Changsun Wuji.

Okay, everything makes sense.

Because of what happened when he was young, Uncle Wuji wanted to take revenge on his eldest grandson Anye, but the latter offended his father by falsely accusing his mother. After finding out the truth, his father understood Uncle Wuji's intentions and decided to Come be this villain...

However, the only twist in this matter is that the reputation of our King of Chu is really bad. In addition, there are too many enemies made in the past and they all have deep backgrounds. Therefore, for the death of Changsun Anye, the King of Chu became the one who took the blame for His Majesty Li Er. that person.

And His Majesty Li Er originally took the blame for Changsun Wuji...

His Highness the Crown Prince, who had finally figured out all these relationships, thought of the time when his younger brother went to his father "wearing armor and holding a hammer" and begged him to let him go out to avenge his eldest grandson Anye. He didn't know who Uncle Wuji was by his side at that time. kind of mood...

Especially if the truth of all this comes to light in the future...

"Alas..." Li Chengqian suddenly let out a long sigh. His Highness the Crown Prince felt that he was so tired. Changsun Chong might not be able to save his legs in the future...

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Tai saw his eldest brother sighing, and thought he was regretting that he had left three teachers in anger: "Brother, it's okay, my teacher Wang Gui is also very knowledgeable, and my second brother My teachers are Xiao Yu, Xiao Gong, Yu Shinan and Yu Gong, especially Yu Gong, he is very good at teaching the art of war! Look how many battles my second brother has won!"

"Don't mention this..." Li Chengqian had a headache when he thought of this: "Master Yu has been ill for almost a month. Cheng Zhijie is really a wonderful man. When he heard that Kuan Di won the battle, he took Cheng Chumo and forced him to Yu Shinan accepted this student..."

"Hehe..." Li Tai thought it was funny when he thought of this: "Cheng Zhijie has to kowtow to Lord Yu to thank his teacher!"

"Then it seems that Duke Yu's illness will be cured only when Brother Kuan comes back..." Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "The queen is about to give birth now, so you can stay with her as long as possible. Okay, you have nothing to do today, I will accompany you back to the Manlu Palace to visit your mother."

"That's a good feeling!" With that said, the two brothers got up and prepared to go to the Manna Hall.

At the same time, outside Dingxiang City.

"Grandma Xiao, you must keep the token I gave you." Li Kuan arranged for a convoy of nearly a thousand people to escort Empress Xiao back to Chang'an. In his opinion, this matter must be done with pomp, otherwise Those bitches in Chang'an, especially the bitches surnamed Wei, will think that their desire to protect Empress Xiao is false. If someone gets sick and bullies Grandma Xiao, grandma Xiao, and her grandson, wouldn't he let the empress dowager in Jiuquan? Are you so embarrassed?

No, this kind of thing must not happen.

"Your Highness, you have arranged so many people. After we leave, the defense of Dingxiang City..." Queen Xiao knew that there were only more than 5,000 defenders in Dingxiang City now, and the battle of Dingxiang City was a tough battle. The Tang army suffered many casualties. More than 30 of Li Kuan's 800 troops were killed, and more than 200 were seriously injured. Minor injuries were even more insignificant. The guards Li Kuan arranged this time were all elites under Li Jing's command. Li Jing In fact, there were quite a few complaints about this, but the King of Chu Man insisted on doing this, and said that if Li Jing didn't agree, the King of Chu Man would go to Aunt Hao Hongfu to have a heart-to-heart talk after he returned to Chang'an.

How can this be fixed? Then just follow what this uncle said.

"Nothing. In three or four days, the main force of the Tang army will arrive." Li Kuan chuckled, then took two steps forward and whispered to Queen Xiao: "Grandma Xiao, I secretly arranged for two hundred crossbowmen. Come along, please relax, we will definitely have a safe journey to Chang'an!"

"Your Highness is interested..." Queen Xiao smiled and nodded when she heard this. Then, she stretched out her hand to tidy up Li Kuan's messy hair. Then, she looked back at the old lady who had been following her.

Seeing Empress Xiao looking towards her, the old nanny pursed her lips and glanced at Li Kuan. Then she returned to the arranged carriage, and not long after, she got out of the carriage holding a square brocade box.

"Grandma didn't know how to thank you, so she gave it to you." Queen Xiao took the brocade box from the servant and handed it to Li Kuan.

Dou Shilun, Li Jing and others who witnessed this scene suddenly widened their eyes, and even their breathing became a little heavier.

"Grandma Xiao, what is this thing? It's so heavy!" Li Kuan took the brocade box, shook it, then put it under his arm and continued to tell Empress Xiao: "Grandma Xiao, you have returned to Chang'an. From now on, you can go to Yushan Yunmeng Village, where there is a private garden given to me by my mother. If you like peace and quiet, go and live there. It has beautiful mountains, water and beautiful scenery. It will nourish your body and mind, and it will nourish you!"

"You kid, where did you get so many wisecracks?" Empress Xiao laughed at Li Kuan's careless and sincere words. She glanced at the brocade box that was treated casually by the latter, and then pinched Li Kuan's cheek: "This After the brocade box is returned, wait until no one is around to open it again. But my dear boy, grandma reminds you, don’t be greedy about it. I just hope that you will give this thing to your majesty. I think your majesty will definitely be very happy with it. happy."

"Why should I make that foolish king happy?" Li Kuan curled his lips when he heard this, but when he saw Queen Xiao's serious face, he also put aside his playful thoughts and nodded in agreement: "But don't worry, grandma, I know what you say. Gotta listen!”

After seeing off Queen Xiao, Li Kuan returned to his tent alone with the brocade box in his arms, only to find two tails following behind him.

Dou Shilun and Li Jing, one a retainer and the other a retainer's family member, looked at each other with extremely defensive expressions.

"Hey! What are you two doing?" His Royal Highness King Chu, who had long noticed the movement behind him, stopped at this moment and frowned at the two of them: "What, you want to kill people and seize treasures?"

"Your Highness..." Dou Shilun's expression was also very complicated at this time: "This thing... only a virtuous person can live in it..." Besides, you are not "virtuous".

"You're quite dirty when you curse." Li Kuan nodded, without comment. Then he turned to look at Li Jing: "What about you, are you going to pick a secluded corner to attack?"

"Your Highness, do you know what's inside?" Li Jing also had an expression on his face at this time: "I'm doing this for your Highness's good."

"There are guesses, but I'm not sure." Li Kuan didn't act cowardly this time, and said carelessly: "But this was given to me by Grandma Xiao. Well, you heard it too, and I didn't steal it openly."

"..." Li Jing and Dou Shilun had nothing to say now.

"Okay, if you want to see the baby, come in." After Li Kuan finished speaking, he continued to walk to his tent.

After a while, Li Jing and Dou Shilun witnessed His Highness the King of Chu opening the brocade box in King Chu's tent.

"Hiss..." The two of them suddenly gasped in unison.

After the brocade box was opened, first a gleam of bright green came into view, and then, on top of the four-inch tourmaline, five dragons were staggered. (Note 1)

The only flaw is that one corner is inlaid with gold for decoration.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm prosperous, I'm really destined to be an elder..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu took the jade seal in his hand with admiration, and then looked at the front of the jade seal.

"If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever!" These eight powerful seal characters are said to have been written by Li Si, the famous prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and represent the symbol of supreme power.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Dou Shilun swallowed. He was very worried that his Highness would now turn around and discuss with him how to "become bigger and stronger and create greater glory."

If this is really the case, then do you agree? Still agree...
