"..." His Majesty Li Er felt that this brat seemed to have intentionally omitted a very crucial point, so he couldn't help but add: "Guanyin Maid... Wuji and I just fought with people in the brothel, and we didn't..."

"Then who knows? Right, Queen Mother?" When it comes to Gonghuo, our Royal Highness the King of Chu is a professional.

"Hmph!" Empress Changsun first glared at His Majesty Li Er angrily, then she came to Li Kuan's side, reached out and tugged her son's ears: "You, don't cause trouble for your father!"

Queen Changsun's words did not just refer to her son's current "revisiting of old matters." What she really meant was that she hoped Li Kuan would stop conflicting with Feng Zhidai and the Guanlong families behind him.

"Oh...Mother, how come you are like my father and like to listen to corners..." His Highness King Chu felt that this bad habit of his parents must be changed: "If I get married in the future, will you two still have to stay in the bridal chamber?" Outside…”

"Ha..." His Majesty Li Er couldn't care less about Queen Changsun who was still angry with him at this time, because he was also very angry now: "Hong San!"

"Father, Emperor and Mother, I'm sleepy, I'll take my leave!" His Royal Highness, King Chu, dwarfed and took advantage of his mother's daze to dash out of the hall.

Just kidding... I'm not stupid... I can still stay where I am and wait for Hong San to catch me...

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

The next day, according to the previous "rotation system of imperial masters", he once again received the teachings of three great Confucians, Li Gang, Kong Yingda, and Lu Deming.

"His Royal Highness, King of Chu, what are you doing?" In the corner of the square of Ganlu Palace, Li Gang looked at King Chu who was busy in front of a water tank that was about ten feet long and three feet wide and high, and couldn't help but asked with some curiosity.

"Teachers, hello!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu is currently busy placing the model of the building ship that he ordered the Shaofu Superintendent (in charge of all craftsmanship and skills) to make last night in the water tank, and on the other side of the water tank , is a hand-operated waterwheel he specially built. Half of the impeller of this hand-operated waterwheel is placed below the water line. Just shake the handle hard to set off a huge wave of water in the water tank: "I, the King, Didn't I mention to you before that the future attack on Goguryeo will require an attack from the sea? Nowadays, it is difficult for our large ships to fight on the river. As for going to the sea, it is even harder to say. The waves are strong and may capsize at any time, so this plan The king plans to build new ships specifically suitable for sea voyages..."

Later, Li Kuan pointed to several small ship models floating on the water tank and explained to the three great scholars: "These are the large ship models made by my king with certain weights to test their ability to withstand wind and waves. .”

After Li Kuan finished speaking, he walked to the other side of the water tank and began to turn the waterwheel vigorously. Soon, huge water waves began to surge from one end of the water tank, and the building ship model, which was still floating leisurely on the water, soon All capsized.

"Look, this is the problem." Li Kuan stopped what he was doing and said to the three great scholars who were stunned: "I just want to find a way to make a suitable building and ship model, and then follow the model's instructions Scale up the configuration to equal proportions, build a real sea ship, and then take it to sea for trial voyage..."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu... your idea... is simply unbelievable..." Li Gang did not expect that His Highness the King of Chu could use such a method to create a new path: "But I think... this matter is feasible!"

"Master Lu, Master Kong, what do you think?" Seeing that Li Gang voted in favor, His Highness the King of Chu turned his attention to the other two people.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has such a wonderful idea, I admire him!" Lu Deming now looks at the King of Chu, and it becomes more and more pleasing to his eyes. He recently went home and beat his own son several times - it was not the choice of this boy. Seriously, why should my grandson suffer?

What? Should His Highness the King of Chu be blamed for this matter? !

Who said that? His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not in Chang'an at that time...

"Your Highness, King of Chu, this is a seemingly simple project, but in fact it is an extremely expensive project..." - Kong Yingda should be the clearest among the three great scholars present. At this time, he has already seen through it. He understood the true purpose of King Chu: "Even if I and the others are willing to help you... But this is not something that we can accomplish..."

"Hehe..." His Highness King Chu stopped pretending now: "My three mentors who are all over the world...this opportunity to make history is now in front of you, you must not fail to cherish it!

——Although with my eldest brother here, you can leave your name in history by relying on martial arts, but building sea ships and helping the country to capture Goguryeo are real martial arts. Think about it, the martial arts and martial arts of the three of you are even better. The position is occupied, what a great encouragement this will be to future generations of literati! "

Not to mention that His Highness the King of Chu knows how to draw cakes. Seeing that the three great scholars began to hesitate, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "As long as you find people for me, you don't have to worry about anything else. As for the talents of these talents, I promise that I will not treat you unfairly!! Also, when fighting against Goguryeo in the future, the three of you will also hand over your most promising juniors to me, and I promise to take them back to the battlefield of Goguryeo to fish for viscounts for the last time! how?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Li Gang was quite satisfied with the previous words, but the old man was not happy with the last sentence about opening a back door for his juniors: "You...can't be nepotistic..."

"Master Li! Don't be so rigid!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was so kind at this time: "Think about it, the key to our Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo in the future is naval warfare, and the ships needed for naval warfare are... The three of you helped me create it, so in other words, the first contribution in this battle belongs to the three of you! But this is something that everyone knows very well, but there is no way to bring it to the table in the future to convince everyone. People, so... How can this king be using people for favors? I am obviously just and selfless to make up for my debt to the three of you!"

"..." Li Gang, Kong Yingda, and Lu Deming were completely stunned by His Highness King Chu's remarks.

How to put it... So the four words "just and selfless" can still be explained in this way? !

But thinking about it carefully...although I still feel like something is wrong...

But...there doesn't seem to be anything wrong...

"Three mentors, don't hesitate! Give it a try right now!" His Highness the King of Chu felt that it was time to show them the real skills - the highest state of the so-called "King of Chu's cake painting", which is naturally a combination of virtual and real: " Think about Zhang Gongjin. This guy followed me around the northwest. Did I treat him badly? He wrote the prayer to worship the heaven at Jinshan. For this alone, his name, Zhang Gongjin, is destined to dominate the world. The most glorious page in the history books! Don’t you want such a credit?! I can promise you that when the Sui soldiers regret before the memorial ceremony in Goguryeo in the future, the three of you will write the memorial text! You can even write it now! Just start preparing for this job, I promise, I will never break my promise!"

"His Royal Highness King Chu, I am going to write a letter right now! Invite your disciples and friends to help you achieve this great cause!" Li Gang didn't really fall in love with the cake drawn by His Highness King Chu, but he was indeed moved by King Chu's sincerity. .

"You can count as an old man!" Lu Deming, who had originally planned to help the King of Chu, felt that it would be good for his grandson to earn some military glory in the future... It seemed good.

As for Kong Yingda...

The vote on the floor was already three to one, and he had no choice...

At this point, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's war preparations against Goguryeo began to officially escalate into actual actions.
