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

No matter what Niu Jinda thought, the King of Chu really conveyed the sentence "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was ordered by the King of Chu to lead an army of 100,000 to come to support".

But what shocked Niu Jinda most after the incident was not King Chu's audacity, but other people's reactions to the incident.

Needless to say, Li Jing and Li Ji are basically the same as the King of Chu. As for Chai Shao, he has been the "good uncle" of the King of Chu from the beginning to the end and has not changed at all. And Xue Wanche...

Forget it, it’s okay not to mention this person. Ever since Niu Jinda heard that Xue Wanche almost killed Tang Jian, he had already labeled him a "King of Chu's henchman". In fact, what surprised Niu Jinda the most was that It was Li Daozong and Zhang Gongjin's inaction on this matter.

"Niu Gong, don't look for me. I'm just a freeloader under King Chu now. Do you expect me to persuade him? Let's forget it. I'm very old and can't stand up to King Chu's reasoning. '." Li Daozong refused to communicate the first time Niu Jinda found him.

In his opinion, as long as the King of Chu completes the last task of offering sacrifices to heaven on Jinshan Mountain, then no one in the world can shake the great achievements he has made. Isn't it just a few words that are crazy, but even so? , that is His Majesty’s business, what does it have to do with these people?

Niu Jinda, who was politely declined, turned around and approached Zhang Gongjin.

But Zhang Gongjin’s answer was more simple and rude: “I am busy writing prayers for the King of Chu right now, and I have no time to talk to you!”

have to……

Niu Jinda, who was hit one after another, suddenly realized that he was on a pirate ship.

How can there be any good ministers of His Majesty in the King of Chu's army now? ! ——Even Zhang Gongjin, who used to be the most loyal, has now become King Chu’s confidant...

In fact, Niu Jinda really misunderstood Zhang Gongjin on this matter.

Zhang Gongjin is also in a dilemma right now.

As a civil servant with scarce resources in the King of Chu's team, he was really worried about leaving this job to others. After all, if this prayer to the sky really became "the King of Chu cursed the streets", then in the future, our Tang Dynasty Zhenguan would be recorded in the history books. The fun I had in one day was really "countless..."

-------------------------------------

In short, despite the constant turmoil along the way, His Royal Highness the King of Chu arrived at Jinshan on the third day of June in the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.

After meeting He Mingshan and Liu Bing who stayed here, Turkic Khan Jieli was brought to Li Kuan, and at the same time, Mohe Duo Khan of Western Turks was present.

"You two have a good meal and a good drink. After tonight, our past grudges will come to an end." In the Chinese army's tent, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was sitting on the main seat, surrounded by military generals. He looked at The two Turkic Khans, who had complicated expressions on their faces, said kindly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, and I won't let you suffer any more. As long as you cooperate obediently, I will ensure that you can be rich and idle for the rest of your life. .”

"What if we don't cooperate, for example, if we commit suicide tonight?!" Mohdou Khan is obviously more ruthless than Jieli Khan. He has reached this point, and he has not forgotten to threaten his own wealth and life.

"Hey," Li Kuan heard the words and smiled coldly: "I said Mo Hedu, you bitch don't know what I am like? Huh?! Are you seeking death and survival? Wow! If you dare to commit suicide, I will take care of Jie Li. Your heads were also chopped off, and your heads will be placed on the altar later. I will also declare to the outside world that you were inspired by my kindness and realized that your sins were serious. In order to atone for your sins, you Commit suicide. Moreover, because you repeatedly begged me before your death, I reluctantly agreed to present your heads on the altar. In this way, it can be considered a good story..."

"..." As soon as King Chu said these words, everyone in the big tent all thought at the same time: How can people be so shameless? !

"The benevolence of the King of Chu", "Influence", "Avoiding difficulties", "A good story"...

His Royal Highness the King of Chu's brief words were filled with too many elements and flaws.

But this also undoubtedly shows one thing: if the two Turkic Khans fell into the hands of the King of Chu, they would really meet their enemies...

"I..." Mohe Duo Khan finally lost the courage to fight in front of His Highness the King of Chu, who was even more despicable and shameless than himself: "I will cooperate with you, Your Highness the King of Chu... I just hope that you will not break your promise... "

The dilemma of life and death is nothing more than this.

"Me...me too..." Jieli Khan, who was once all-powerful, has become much more honest after digging a trap in Jinshan for a period of time.

"Hey, you two are so cowardly that I don't even have the slightest pleasure of conquest." Li Kuan glanced at the two Turkic Khans with disdain, then waved his hands, and He Mingshan and Jiang Sheng understood. , and then carried the person down.

Next, everyone began to discuss matters.

"Your Highness, are you going to offer sacrifices to heaven tomorrow?" Zhang Gongjin looked a little anxious. He always felt that his prayers for offering sacrifices to heaven needed to be corrected.

"It's better to fight quickly now. It's been too quiet along the way. Even His Royal Highness King Chu defeated Tingzhou City without attracting any enemies. To be honest, I feel like a storm is about to come. "As the commander who truly commands the entire army, Li Jing has felt extraordinary pressure.

"The prayers for worshiping the sky are written for the world to see. The prayers for worshiping the heavens are the things that the king has experienced since he left Chang'an and arrived at Shuofang. He has fought all the way south and north, advanced eastward and westward, and fought till today. All these have been made clear to heaven and earth for a long time. Immortals, devils and gods can learn from them, so why bother to elaborate?" Li Kuan first answered Zhang Gongjin, who was a little uneasy, and then turned his attention to Li Jing: "Uncle Li, my premonition is the same as yours. Now the entire northwest The foreign allies are too calm, and they must be brewing some big move, but no matter how much he does, no matter how deep the city's conspiracy is, it will eventually show up one day. I want to see, Na Ludongzan can What kind of tricks can you play?"

"To put it bluntly, you just accept fate." Li Ji sighed and made a fair comment on Li Kuan's words.

But Li Kuan did not take Li Ji's words. Instead, he turned to look at the foreign generals he had conquered: "Qibi Heli, Zhihusi Li, Ashina Helu, Ashina Simo, Ashina Nasheer."

"I'm here!" The five people heard Li Kuan calling his name one by one. They were stunned for a moment, and then they knelt down respectfully and made a gesture of accepting orders.

"I know that you may be worried about what will happen tomorrow, but I hope you understand that this war is not the fault of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Kuan said, stood up from his seat, and glanced at the five of them one by one: "I have never concealed the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven from you from the beginning to the end, but you, speaking of it, are all feeling uneasy in your hearts now, right?"

"Your Highness..." Ashina Helu was the first to notice the dark and inexplicable emotion in Li Kuan's tone. He hurriedly replied: "I... must be..."

"Do you know why I have to gather the five of you?" Li Kuan started asking questions again without waiting for Ashina Helu to continue.

"It's an honor for me to be valued by His Highness." Zhi lost his mind and replied as he saw the opportunity.

"It is not the fault of a gentleman that he was born in a small country!" It must be said that at critical moments, His Royal Highness the King of Chu can always remind everyone of his inheritance, and then realize that this guy has some culture in him. (Note 1)

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned: No... this Zhuzi has really read "The Analects of Confucius"? !

Later, Dou Shilun, who was the first to come to his senses, explained with a smile to the five people who still didn't understand the meaning: "This sentence means that it is not his fault that a gentleman was born in a small country. King Chu This is a compliment to a few of them, they are outstanding people in the world!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu! I don't know whether I am considered a great person in the world, but I am willing to die for His Highness. This will be revealed to the sun and the moon!" Qibi Heli said respectfully.

The other four people also echoed: "The willingness of my ministers to die for His Majesty will be revealed to the sun and the moon!"

"This is not what I want," Li Kuan looked at the five people kneeling on the ground, thought for a moment, and said what he had been hiding in his heart: "I hope that the five of you can be reused in the Tang Dynasty in the future. , and your loyalty is sometimes even more important than your talent. A gentleman is virtuous, and only then can he be a gentleman - if you want to be rich and honorable for a lifetime, and even for future generations to enjoy the glory, then you have to spend money Come with your loyalty and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!

Now, you are the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, so regarding this matter of offering sacrifices to heaven, you must look at all issues from the standpoint of the Tang Dynasty. Do you understand what I mean? "

"I understand!" Ashina Helu, who almost thought he was going to be eliminated as a worry by the King of Chu, answered with the most sincerity at this moment, feeling guilty... really guilty... I never thought that one day I would be taken care of by Chu. His Royal Highness values ​​it so much.

"I understand!" Apart from him, the other four people present, except for Qibi Heli who had never had a second thought from the beginning to the end, the rest had similar thoughts to Ashina Helu.

In the corner, Niu Jinda witnessed His Highness the King of Chu winning people's hearts. Now looking at His Highness the King of Chu who said "My father is like me" on the stage, he felt that the other person was so familiar yet strange...

Good guy, when I followed Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong to join His Majesty Li Er, who was still the King of Qin, where were you, Your Highness the King of Chu? !

Why are the scenes so similar? !

"Mr. Niu, now you know why this guy was able to fight all the way to where he is today, right?" Beside Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche grinned and smiled at Niu Jinda who was reminiscing about the past.

"It looks like... it's so similar..." Niu Jinda did not answer Xue Wanche's question directly. He just looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was helping Ashina Simo and others one by one at the end of the game. He only felt that the figure in front of him was different from the one in his memory. A certain figure gradually overlaps.

In a daze, Niu Jinda, who had previously felt that the King of Chu was like his "destiny", silently glanced at Yu Wenqing who was having a silly laugh at the side. At this moment, General Niu actually had a weird but practical idea in his heart - then It's the Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an City. It seems to be really dangerous!
