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

"Xuan Ce, go on." His Highness King Chu's expression gradually became more focused.

"Your Highness, you don't know something." When Wang Xuance saw that His Highness King Chu began to humbly accept the advice, he immediately pointed to the two stacks of gift slips and said, "You don't know something. Although our return gift seems to be at a disadvantage, the focus of this tribute is It's not about the amount of tribute and return gifts, at least not this time.

——The countries in the northwest expressed their surrender and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. These so-called loss-making transactions were just small details.

If your Majesty wants to achieve great things, he will not care about these small details.

The big thing His Majesty wants to achieve is to establish the status of the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain through this tribute, so as to gather the military command power of the northwest countries into his own hands...

Even if it is just in name, it is extremely important! This is a famous teacher! "

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Ma Zhou now looked at Wang Xuance with admiration in his eyes: "Brother Xuance has profound insights, I am ashamed of myself!"

"You can teach me!" When Tang Jian looked at Wang Xuance, he couldn't help showing an expression of admiration on his face. However, when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who was looking deep in thought, his face immediately became serious.

Hey... bad luck!

But Wang Xuance was too lazy to care about this at this time. He continued to say to Li Kuan: So Your Highness, this is the first tribute, we will suffer some losses if we suffer any losses. Anyway, we can make up for this small losses in the future.

If your Highness really can't stand this, then you only need to go back and discuss it with Duke Tang, and then jointly send a memorandum to your Majesty. I think this phenomenon will definitely happen when the second tribute is paid. Changes will occur!

In fact...I want to say...maybe His Majesty can't bear to look at this matter now. ——Otherwise, you would not have been forced by His Majesty to come to Honglu Temple to pick up this hot potato..." Wang Xuance's loyalty to His Royal Highness the King of Chu was fully demonstrated through his last words.

"The younger generation is to be feared... the younger generation is to be feared!" After listening to Wang Xuance's remarks, Tang Jian suddenly felt that he had found a good candidate: "Wang Xuance... I wonder if you are interested in coming to work for me?"

"No..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had just been teased by a good retainer, suddenly became furious when he heard this: "I said Tang Jian, you... what do you mean?! My father just wants to poach me. , that is my father after all, of course, the point is that I can’t offend him, but if you swing your hoe in front of this king, are you a little crazy?”

"Your Highness, how can you be willing to let such a talent fall into the dust?!" Tang Jian felt that Wang Xuance was important not just because of his profound insights into diplomatic matters, nor because of his superb political skills. The point was... this person It is really rare to be able to persuade His Highness the King of Chu...

As long as he is here, His Highness King Chu will not be able to get mad... At least that's what it seems now.

"Don't you dare say such nonsense. Why is Xuance's pearl covered in dust when he follows me? Sooner or later, I will lead him to shine with dazzling light and blind the eyes of others! Yes, Mr. Tang, you can By glaring at me like this, I am talking about you!" His Royal Highness, King Chu, who was worried about his retainer every day, finally got angry.

Of course, this topic started to go off the rails.

Ma Zhou on the side stood like a horse at this moment - whether it was the political wisdom and strategic vision that Wang Xuance had just shown, or the clear-cut rhetorical confrontation between His Highness the King of Chu and the Duke of Tang, they were not his little companions. Reading can withstand it.

"Your Highness..." Wang Xuance no longer knew how many times His Highness King Chu had fallen out with others. Of course, no matter how many times, he would still be as moved as he was at the beginning: "Don't worry, I will only listen to you. Arrangements... But now, is it time to get back to business? "

"What else is there to talk about?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at Wang Xuance after hearing this: "I will do as you say, except for preparing to provoke civil strife in the Western Turks after the tribute is over next year, everything will continue as usual, Tang "Mr. Chu" said this, and suddenly turned to look at Tang Jian: "How about... just pretend that I haven't been here today?"

"..." Tang Jian just wanted to kill people now.

"Your Highness," Ma Zhou suddenly said: "Should we send some manpower to find a way to protect the safety of Siyehu Khan? In any case, before the tribute ends next year, he cannot fall into Yibishegui. Khan's hands, otherwise our plan will fall short."

"What you said makes sense!" His Royal Highness King Chu nodded after hearing this, and then he looked outside the palace: "The manpower issue is easy to say...but who should I send to take the order to the northwest..."

This...maybe really a problem.

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

When His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned to the palace, he happened to be having lunch.

Because he was in a bad mood, he just took a few bites and planned to take the little Sizi for a walk in the garden to eat.

"Hey~~Yeah~~" Xiao Sizi is not very good at talking now, but she really likes Li Kuan, the second brother, so now she not only scratches her brother's face with her little hands, but also sometimes gets interested If it's too late, it will come up and "gnaw" it twice, leaving a pool of saliva.

"Xiao Sizi, you are really my second brother's darling." His Royal Highness the King of Chu hugged his fragrant and soft sister. The impetuous mood in his heart, but also the lively and lovely sister, was instantly cured. He gently touched her with the tip of his nose. Touching the tip of his sister's nose, the brother and sister happily headed to the Royal Garden.

Today, the Royal Garden is still as lively as ever.

Li You and Li Min, these two unlucky children, even though they were "seriously injured" last night, they still did not forget to come to the Imperial Garden to cast a fishing pole today.

"Second brother..." Li You saw Li Kuan appearing in the Royal Garden, and his mood suddenly became extremely aggrieved: "Why didn't you tell me the truth in the first place..."

"Xiaoyou..." His Highness King Chu also felt a little sorry for his prodigy brother at this time: "Second brother wants you to stay innocent... By the way, why don't you guys take a good rest in bed today? Came here to fish?”

"These baits are the result of Xiaomin and I carefully preparing them all afternoon the day before yesterday. If we don't use them today, they will be wasted..." Li You showed the most noble spirit of a fisherman at this moment: "So I thought, These injuries are nothing more than trivial matters, but the bait you have worked so hard to prepare must be put to good use!”

Looking at such a persistent younger brother, His Highness King Chu felt that he was indeed... quite impressed: "Xiaoyou... Second brother really didn't expect that one day, you would teach second brother a lesson..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" As soon as His Highness King Chu said this, Li Min, who had been silent at the side, suddenly cried out in aggrieved tone: "Second brother... you still mention... you... you are so bad!"

"You can pull him down..." Although His Highness the King of Chu admired the courage of this bratty brother, he could not understand the other person's mind anyway: "Who gave you the courage to point your finger at that stupid king and call him a face-souling guy... about this? Even your second brother has never done this before!”
