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

Although Dou Shilun was mostly joking in his heart, after he saw a certain figure holding the Imperial Seal and having a silly look...

Dou Shilun felt that the day when King Chu opened the Xuanwu Gate was not far away...

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Li Jing's mood was also very complicated at this time.

In the eyes of the world, Li Jing has never had much political wisdom: when Li Yuan rebelled, he went to inform him. When Li Er rebelled, he closed the door and stood aside, thinking that he was a general and no matter who came to power, he would be punished in the future. Reuse.

To be honest, this means that Li Shimin has a good temper. If it had been replaced by Li Kuan, the vengeful king of Chu, Li Jing would have been regarded as disrespectful to the emperor for stepping out of the palace with his left foot first on the second day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He was exiled to Lingnan from then on.

If I don't let you suffer enough in Lingnan for a few years, I won't let you go back to Chang'an.

However, what makes Li Jing feel embarrassed right now is precisely this matter: if His Royal Highness the King of Chu insists... then will he follow or not...

When Li Yuan and his son were recruiting troops in Jinyang, he chose to inform because he believed that it was impossible for Li Yuan and his son to rebel successfully at that time, and he was even more worried that his benefactor, Queen Taimu Dou, would be implicated in this matter.

But later, reality slapped him in the face, and Li Yuan actually moved into Chang'an. What made him feel even more shameless was that the reason why he was able to survive in the end was not as popularly rumored later - he went to school in the execution ground. Han Xin, the Immortal of Soldiers, shouted loudly: "The purpose of the public uprising is to eliminate riots in the world. Don't you want to do something big, but kill the heroes with personal grudges?" (When you led the army to participate in the uprising, your original intention was to eliminate the sources of riots in the world, but now you still How can you kill me because of personal grudges before I achieve great things?) (Note 1)

In fact, the real reason why he was able to escape in the end was that his wife, Hong Funu, begged Empress Taimu Dou for mercy, and Empress Taimu Dou personally came forward to save him.

After the incident, Empress Taimu, who repaid Li Jing with kindness, called Li Jing to her side. She was not angry or abusive. She just gave him a piece of advice with sincerity: You know the military affairs but not the political affairs. From now on, you should follow the golden mean in your conduct.

Perhaps it was because of Empress Taimu's advice that Li Jing finally refused to follow Li Shimin to participate in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. At that time, he and Hongfu Nu had a simple idea: if they failed, they would take Li Shimin's family members and flee Chang'an. Of course, if the outcome of the matter is extremely bad, then the couple can at least ensure Li Kuan's safety.

But these have all passed and become a distant past.

So the problem before Li Jing now is: remembering Empress Taimu's past kindness, what if King Chu really wants to use "Cold Weather to Add Clothes"...

It seems that I really can't take the middle road.

Are you standing on the left side of King Chu, or on the right side of King Chu?

Maybe that's the problem.

"Hey, why do you two look so worried?" Li Kuan, who had come back to his senses, looked at the two people in front of him with bitter faces and a conflict between heaven and man in their hearts. He suddenly looked helpless: "No, you two Are you really planning to follow me and follow the same path you came from?"

Especially Li Jing, what the hell, what does that expression on your face mean? Do you feel regretful that you didn't get a share of "the merits of the dragon" from my father? And you plan to make up for it with me?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Li Jing took a deep breath and decided not to pay attention to someone's nonsense. After he looked at Dou Shilun, who also felt helpless, he continued to speak: "I remind you that there will be an army coming soon. We will arrive at Shuofang City, so you have to pay attention to your words and deeds."

In the past two days, Li Jing has begun to order the mobilization of various armies to join forces in Dingxiang City. In addition to guarding the Yanyun area and preventing the Turkic army from escaping eastward, Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, and the governor of Lingzhou, who need to monitor Tuli Khan. Xue Wanjun and the remaining three groups of people are already on their way and will arrive in Dingxiang City soon.

As for the 20,000 troops that Li Jing originally brought to Shuofang City, except for the 3,000 elite cavalry that were originally deployed to follow him, the remaining troops will also rush to Dingxiang with Chai Shao this time.

"What? Is there anyone still unconvinced? Want to fight with me?" Li Kuan crossed his arms and looked at Li Jing after hearing this: "Whether it's Li Ji, my uncle (Chai Shao), or my cousin (Li Daozong), they Can you still eat me?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu... General Li Jing wants you to put this thing away! After all, if you turn around and let people see you, you will be in trouble!" Dou Shilun now also understands that his family master has nothing to do with the national jade seal. They didn't value it as much as he and Li Jing imagined. To Li Kuan, the jade seal was more like a new rarity. When Dou Shilun thought of this, he couldn't help but remind Li Kuan again: "Also, how do you treat it? You have to be more careful and careful, don't be as careless as before, if you lose this thing..."

That would be really big trouble!

"Hey, Uncle Dou, how often have you seen me lose something?!" Li Kuan became angry when he heard this.

"His Majesty complained to us in private that you lost half of his treasures..." Li Jing, who was quietly watching the show, suddenly spoke up to make up for Li Kuan.

"Okay, okay, this foolish king..." Li Kuan did not expect that the majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would say bad things about his son behind his back: "Is that the king's fault?! Maybe it was the foolish king who took it and sold it. I raised a baby outside the palace!"

"..." Li Jing just hated that the historian was not with him at this moment. Sure enough, no matter when and where His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not in front of His Majesty Li Er, he would be "the traitor in the palace and the chief of Chang'an." A top-notch fun-loving person who has low-level interests and only does big work all day long.

"Your Highness, please put this thing away and hide it carefully. As for what you want to do with it..." Dou Shilun glanced at Li Jing. After the other party nodded in agreement, he continued to turn to Li Kuan: "It's all up to you. You, Li Gongquan and I should be ignorant of this matter."

"Huh huh huh," Li Kuan suddenly let out a snort that he thought was aloof when he heard this, and then said: "Should you two thank me for not killing him?"

"I'm going to write a letter to Your Majesty right now." Li Jing decided not to tolerate this little bastard anymore. Damn it, just because this Zhuzi was so high-spirited that day that he "traveled out of Chang'an on Tishuo" suddenly broke his original plan. All the arrangements: Originally, according to the original strategy, Dingxiang City should have been taken long ago, but because of this guy's whim, he killed more than ten thousand people in the formation outside Shuofang City, alarming the top Turks, and then led people He went to the hinterland of the Turks and began to massacre the dead Central Plains people in human form, and carried out revenge on the Turks - and finally gave himself the title of "Yelili Ilic" - the King of Demons.

The King of Chu was happy, but it took him two months of fear on the grassland before he finally found the other party...
