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

Same people but different fates.

The next day, His Majesty, who had spent the night recuperating his energy, was full of energy and enthusiasm, so he planned to take his son to accompany him to the morning court.

The poor King of Chu was forced to get up and prepare to go to court for the first time in his life.

"Ha...Dad...can you please slow down?!" Li Kuan, who was woken up by Li Er himself before dawn, was in a trance. With the help of the palace servants, he changed into court clothes. Then, he The beaten father grabbed his arm and walked in the direction of Tai Chi Hall.

When Li Kuan regained consciousness, the Tai Chi Palace was clearly in front of him.

"No, dad! What are you doing?" Li Kuan felt that the scene in front of him was like a dream. Why did he come to this miserable place?

"You're such a bastard, you always like to make mischief. Even if you secretly left the palace yesterday, you ended up forcing your elder brother to cover you. I think it's time for you to make progress." Li Er squinted at the man who was forcibly dragged by him. A certain person who came to court said: "Li Gang told me yesterday that if nothing happens to you and your eldest brother is forced to clean up your mess again, he will resign! He said that your eldest brother is a good prince, and his reputation will be determined in the future." I have to leave it all to you."

"I... this old man!" The shock mixed with the anger caused Li Kuan to lose the respect he should have for this erudite scholar who taught three princes (the Sui prince Yang Yong, the Yin prince Li Jiancheng, and Li Chengqian). Heart.

At this time, he wanted to find the grumpy old man with white hair and beard to get an explanation.

How dare you sow discord between him and his eldest brother? How is this allowed? !

Although Li Kuan is confident that no one can underestimate the "blame bond" between him and his eldest brother, but what if? If the eldest brother listens to the slander for a while and goes astray, and never takes the blame for himself and cleans up the mess, wouldn't his future be bleak?

No, absolutely not!

Li Kuan had made up his mind, even though he still couldn't break free from his father's iron-like hands, but this did not prevent him from launching a bull charge and forcefully pulling Li Er towards the East Palace.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...the palace gate has been opened, and the temple princes will be arriving soon..." Zhang Nan, the eunuch chief responsible for accompanying Li Er every time and accompanying him to the morning court, saw the black-faced Majesty. Being led out by the equally dark-faced King Chu, he immediately became anxious.

This... all civil and military officials have to cross the Jinshui Bridge, why are you two still arguing?

"Shu Zi!" Li Shimin was surprised by his son's strength. After Zhang Nan reminded him, he obviously realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely be embarrassed in front of the civil and military officials, but if he let go now...

Thinking that Li Er, whose Linghu Defen was still recovering from his injuries in the house these days, had no choice but to grit his teeth - Li Gang, that skinny old man with many peaches and plums all over the world, was no taller than Linghu Defen, who had a deserted house. This Zhuzi will be another underhanded move at that time, but the result is to send the person away directly. If he still has Qianqian, he is destined to be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and will be spit on by future generations...

As soon as he thought of this, the furious Li Er immediately raised his hand and knocked his son's chestnut.

"Ouch!" It has to be said that the tradition of knocking chestnuts on people in the Li family started with Li Er's generation.

Li Kuan covered his head. In addition to howling miserably, in front of Li Er's raised arm again, he was forced to completely regain his senses: "Stop, stop, why don't I go to the morning court?!"

"If you dare to go to Li Gang to settle the score afterwards, my father will send you to Qujiang Garden to stay for a few years, so that you can reflect on it!" Li Er's threat had a bit of a stern tone.

"Is there such a good thing?" Li Kuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He was uniquely talented at making his father angry.

"Hmph!" Li Er, knowing that his son had already spoken, threw Li Kuan's arm away and kicked his butt: "When you go to court later, you only have to bring your eyes and ears with you. With your head, read and study hard, but remember, don’t express any opinions.”

"What should I do if I want to go to the toilet?" Li Kuan can always accurately find the blind spots in Li Er's cognition.

"Then find a pillar!" Li Er was too lazy to discipline his son seriously. It could be seen that he was very satisfied with the tenderness last night.

"Haha, haha..." Li Kuan realized what was different about his father today, and he rolled his eyes in his heart: "Why did you drag me to the morning court, and then you were so tolerant and generous to me? Your feelings are only for your mother's sake." For your sake, right?

Alas... this foolish king... Li Kuan looked at his father with the radiant face between his brows and felt that everything in his body was weak.

But he couldn't get enough of it. Li Kuan knew he couldn't escape this early morning.

So, on this day, the civil and military officials of the previous court were surprised to find that His Royal Highness the King of Chu appeared in the court hall. Although this uncle ignored the warnings of His Majesty and the Crown Prince throughout the whole process, he was either yawning and crying from sleepiness, or digging in his eyes. His nostrils were flicked at the veterans around him, especially Pei Ji and Prime Minister Pei Ji. He didn't take anyone seriously the whole time.

But it was remarkable that he could persevere through the entire two-hour court meeting.

In fact, Li Kuan thought so too.

When the court was about to end, Li Kuan reached out to touch his nostril again, but thinking that he might draw out nosebleeds at any time, he still resisted the urge. At this time, Yu Shinan, who was the author at the time, suddenly raised an issue that had nothing to do with the war in the southwest, the floods in the south, and the locust plague in Guanzhong, but it was extremely explosive: "Your Majesty, when will we take back the remains of the soldiers of the previous dynasty?" Are you going to negotiate with Goguryeo?"

Otherwise, it would explode.

In today's Tang Dynasty, there are constant natural disasters and military disasters. The biggest threat to the north is not Goguryeo, which Yang Guang defeated three times but failed to defeat.

——Although to a certain extent, Goguryeo, which insists that it is the orthodoxy of China, deserves to be beaten to the ground by the Tang Dynasty and finally destroyed, but now is not the time.

At the very least, we have to deal with the Turks first, and then we can free up our hands to kill these bastards who mistakenly identify their ancestors, right?

As for Yu Shinan's proposal to bring back the remains of the Sui Dynasty soldiers, it is indeed necessary. However, Goguryeo had the courage to collect the remains of these soldiers and build a Jingguan. If you don't beat them up, subdue them and destroy the country, how can they be willing to do so? you?

As for exchanging money?

Sorry, that's not Datang's style. Moreover, even if the Tang Dynasty could afford to lose this person, those Sui Dynasty soldiers who died in a foreign land would probably not agree if Quanxia knew about it.

So strictly speaking, Yu Shinan's desire to take back the remains of the soldiers may be just a diplomatic matter in his opinion. However, the ministers who knew the stakes naturally understood that this was to start a war with Goguryeo.

But now in the Tang Dynasty, even disaster relief is a problem, so where does it have the energy to launch foreign wars?

Therefore, Yu Shinan, who rarely spoke on weekdays, stood in the main hall and finished admonishing Li Er, but no one responded.

Even the generals who usually love war the most now know how to transport more food to their homes and stockpile it to prepare for the upcoming locust plague.

These are troubled times. Do you want to launch a foreign war? Are you kidding me?

As soldiers, it is their bounden duty to defend their homeland and country no matter when and where they are, so they must do so without hesitation and die.

But the current difficulty has not been overcome, so he takes the initiative to provoke another war. Is he going to die?

Even Yu Chigong, who has the worst brain power, understands this simple truth.

All of a sudden, things became strange.

What is wrong with Yu Shinan? Did you suddenly mention this?

Doesn't he really know how powerful this is?

Just when everyone was silently silent, waiting for Li Er to speak to suppress the matter.

A conspicuous bag jumped out.

"Yu Gong!" When Li Kuan rushed to Yu Shinan at an impatient speed and raised the arms of the "Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty" with both hands and looked at him affectionately, except for the person involved, Yu Shinan, who still had a look of confusion on his face, everyone else had flashes in their hearts. A line of big characters passed: "It's worse: Yu Shinan's lifelong reputation is completely over..."

as predicted!

Li Kuan's first words made everyone unable to hold their nerves.

I saw him speaking to Yu Shinan with a serious face: "The time is not yet ripe now. Please bear with me for a few years. Look at me, I am not strong yet. When I am strong, I will definitely take action! Farewell then." Speaking of bringing back the remains of the former soldiers, even if it means taking the noble daughter of the Goguryeo royal family to be my father's foot warmer, it's just a casual act."

"..." After a long silence.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone, except for the black-faced His Majesty Li Er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was not afraid of angering his father, but actually didn't like to laugh by nature. The ministers in the DPRK, regardless of their factions or positions, at this moment, they gathered together happily, at this moment, they sought common ground while reserving differences, at this moment, they used the most violent laughter to whip Xiao Xiao At such a young age, His Majesty the King of Chu dares to say harsh words...
