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

But when His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned to his bedroom, he found an uninvited guest.

“Your Highness…” Cheng Xin had a bitter face at this moment. Looking at His Highness the Prince of Chu who had been standing there in a daze, he was also very flustered in his heart: “The Queen has to go out of the palace today for something, and the two princesses are in the Women’s Academy, so…”

“No… Yulin and Yubi also followed my mother out? What about Ruyu who is responsible for taking care of Changle?!” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at his silly and cute brother who was sitting on the Hu bed, twisting his toes and preparing to take a bite to taste the saltiness. He felt like the sky was falling: “What on earth was my mother thinking… letting me take care of Zhinu… What… isn’t she afraid that I will throw this brat away…”

"Your Highness..." Cheng Xin actually didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could treat almost every brother and sister equally except the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was different from the Ninth Prince. Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu often harmed the former, the relationship between the two brothers was so good that everyone in and outside the palace knew about it.

But... His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, that’s hard to say.

Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had never bullied him, but... he didn't show any sign of liking him either.

"Second...brother...hey..." After taking a bite of the foot, Zhinu found that it was not tasty, so he looked up at his second brother with a complicated expression: "Accompany Zhinu...accompany Zhinu..."

"Alas..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu now more or less understood what his mother meant. Well, isn't it just about establishing a solid master-servant... bah bah bah... a solid brotherly relationship with this stinky younger brother?

It's no big deal, just a little watering! I promise I can handle it!

"Child slave~~Come, second brother will tell you the story of the little bear playing Cuju..." Thinking of this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately walked towards the Hu bed with a smile on his face.

but……

All the beautiful things are just the fantasy of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Half an hour later...

"Then after receiving the pass from his teammate, the little bear dribbled past the opponent, and then... Ugh~~" His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that his brother should be at least as old as Li Yin to be able to handle this thing: "Chengxin! Hurry up and call someone, this stinky boy has pooped! Ugh~~ No... You little bastard, who taught you to poop so stinky?! You want to stink your second brother to death and then inherit his second brother's throne, right?!"

“Hey…hehe…” The Ninth Prince, who was feeling extremely happy because his second brother was holding him in his arms, could only smile foolishly at this moment.

“Alas…” Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not want to admit it, facing his brother’s big eyes that shone like obsidian just like his sister Sizi, he still felt a little fond of his brother: “Okay, wait until the nanny gives you a bath and changes your clothes, and I’ll take you somewhere else to play, okay?”

"Okay!" The child's smile was contagious.

This made His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's originally bad mood gradually improve.

Ok……

I must not be the only victim of Zhinu.

That’s it!

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

"Your Majesty, the envoys from Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xueyantuo, and Tocharian have repeatedly asked me to see you in the past two days. You see..." In the Taiji Hall, Tang Jian looked very embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for you to avoid them..."

"Who said I avoided him?" His Majesty Li II raised his head from the imperial desk after hearing this. He then looked at Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji beside Tang Jian, as well as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who he had called over from the Secretariat. "My dear ministers, what are your opinions on this matter? Please tell me."

"Your Majesty, I think they just want to protest to you." Fang Xuanling found that he liked a certain barbarian king more and more. "After all, although our 'speed is the most important' Prince of Chu's march north this time is not as grand as the last time, the results achieved by Prince of Chu are still extraordinary. And Wang Xuance's strategy..."

"Ahem..." At the critical moment, Du Ruhui hurriedly pretended to cough twice, as a reminder to his old friend: His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu... is a man who always bears grudges...

"Ah, I was wrong," Fang Xuanling was so smart that he corrected him immediately, "and your highness the King of Chu has already taken both the Western Turks and Goguryeo into account in his plan. I think... why don't we just leave them alone? Anyway, the land of the Eastern Turks will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future, so why should we care about these foreign tribes?"

"Prime Minister Fang's words make sense!" After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Wei Zheng, a wise official of the Tang Dynasty who was extremely at odds with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, analyzed the specific issues at this time: "I also think that this fat meat that is in my mouth should not be given away. Besides, this time His Royal Highness the King of Chu has captured all the leaders of the 18 tribes of the grassland, almost completely grinding down the sharpness of those barbarians. Moreover, I have heard that now that His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to kill all the Turkic nobles in the Mobei grassland and distribute cattle and sheep to the Turkic civilians, the original nobles have begun to flee.

Therefore, now is the best time for our Tang Dynasty to take over the Mobei grassland in an all-round way.

Moreover, once we have the Mobei grassland, we won’t have to count the Longyou area that was originally used for raising horses, and we can ensure that the Tang Dynasty will no longer be short of war horses.

In view of this, why should we, the Tang Dynasty, care about the opinions of those defeated generals? I think that if they make trouble again, let Tang Jian reject it sternly: the Mobei grassland was conquered by the Tang Dynasty! It was not negotiated at the negotiation table! If they have any opinions, why not let them go to His Royal Highness the King of Chu——"

"Shut up!" Although Changsun Wuji knew that he and his nephew were now drifting apart, he understood one thing more clearly: what kind of friendship was hidden in his nephew's seemingly cold and ruthless warning to him - if the other party had not reminded him, Changsun Wuji would have thought that Emperor Li II knew nothing about what he had done.

It can be said that although Li Kuan made absolute statements to his uncle Changsun Wuji at Mount Li, he did not do anything extreme - no matter what his purpose was, whether it was for Empress Changsun or for Changsun Chong, he finally chose to take action and help Changsun Wuji.

Because of this, even though Changsun Wuji knew that the brat would not appreciate his kindness, he still couldn't bear to see that old man Wei Zheng treated his nephew like a beast of burden: "Wei Xuancheng, don't you know what kind of person the King of Chu is? You still let them talk to the King of Chu, what are they talking about? Are they going to resort to violence during the talks? You old fox... I think you deserve to be killed!"

"Changsun Wuji, stop slandering me!" Wei Zheng was annoyed by Changsun Wuji's sarcastic remarks. He said, "I will always look at things from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty!"

"What is the position of the Tang Dynasty?" Du Ruhui, who was standing aside, suddenly sneered at this moment: "Ha... Is the position of the Tang Dynasty to let His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who has not even come of age, go on expeditions everywhere?

Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is destined to be an extremely sharp and peerless sword in the future.

But now is not the time for this precious sword to "shine a cold frost and shock all directions".

Wei Xuancheng, I'm going to say this here today. If you dare to be idle again and plan to use His Royal Highness the King of Chu as a gun, we can practice on the spot after we leave the Tai Chi Hall!

Although I, Du Ruhui, am just a scholar, I am not afraid to die to show my loyalty and let my blood spill in Xuanyuan!"

After Du Ruhui said this, not to mention Wei Zheng, even Emperor Li II, who was sitting behind the imperial desk and was still surprised that Zhangsun Wuji had spoken for Li Kuan, was stunned.

No...what's the matter...

I have tried to recruit Wang Xuance many times but failed...

On the other hand, you, Du Ruhui, just sat with that brat in the Honglu Temple for an afternoon, and you became his man? !

What happened to this world...

Could it be that I... am no longer the destined one?

Looking at the tense confrontation in the audience, Emperor Li II, who had reached middle age, began to doubt his life for the first time: Could it be that the "wind" that was blowing towards him in his destiny would eventually blow somewhere else...
