"What's so good about that brat..." - As the saying goes, although his own failure is frustrating, his son's success makes Emperor Li II even more upset.

How to say it, His Majesty Li II still can't figure out how his personal charm is inferior to that of his own bastard son who "would never quarrel if he could take action".

Although it was annoying, the dispute between Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng was still going on in the Taiji Hall.

“Wei Xuancheng, if you have the guts, don’t leave after the court is dismissed!” In the Taiji Hall, Du Ruhui saw that Wei Zheng didn’t say anything, and realized that the other party underestimated him. He sneered and said, “Although I don’t have any martial arts skills, I’m not like you. You have a lot of skills but don’t think about serving the country. You only know how to make the child of the King of Chu work for the court! Humph! You have ruined the reputation of the nobles!”

"Du Ruhui, you dare to scold me again?" Wei Zheng originally did not intend to argue with Du Ruhui, a civil servant who had just recovered from a serious illness, but the other party's domineering attitude immediately aroused a burst of anger in his heart: "I really don't know that you, Du Ruhui, the Shangshu You Pushe, have been so close to the King of Chu since I don't know when!"

"What did you say?!" Du Ruhui was furious when he saw Wei Zheng was actually being sarcastic to him. "I used to think highly of you, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! So you're attacking me because you can't win the argument, right? Okay, come on, let's discuss today, who looks more like a sycophant between you and me!"

"Alas..." Fang Xuanling, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh when he heard Du Ruhui's words: "Keming... Duke Wei didn't say you are..."

"He said that I was in the same boat with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu!" Du Ruhui glared at Fang Xuanling fiercely after hearing this: "Isn't this even dirtier than calling me a 'sycophant'?!"

"There is nothing wrong with what Mr. Du said..." Changsun Wuji nodded silently.

"Stop adding fuel to the fire, Assistant Minister!" His Majesty Li II felt that the pillars of the Tiance Palace, which had been shaky, were slowly straightening up, so he finally had the patience to coax the ministers: "Okay, Keming, Xuancheng, you two are also the backbone of the country, why are you arguing over such a small matter?"

"Your Majesty, I ..." When Wei Zheng heard that His Majesty Li Er chose to take sides, he was about to argue, but suddenly a strange cry came from outside the palace: "Stinky boy, don't drool on my second brother's clothes! Alas... You little sloppy boy, you must have inherited this from that tyrant..."

"I have nothing to say..." Knowing that His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this great disaster, was coming rapidly from afar, Wei Zheng immediately made his choice.

"..." When he finished speaking, everyone else in the hall was speechless.

How should I put it? Even a straight-minded person like Wei Zheng was forced to flexibly change his bottom line because of the existence of a certain idiot...

Well, how should I put it.

The power of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so terrifying!

“Dad, what are you discussing?” Before the villain, the Prince of Chu, could even let out a “hehehe” laugh, he took his brother Zhinu into the Taiji Hall: “My mother threw this little thing to me, and I don’t think I know how to take care of it. So, if you have time, come and coax him.”

"Do you think I'm free now?!" Emperor Li II was already angry when he saw this little bastard, but he actually brought a young slave with him.

"No, why are you angry with me?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that a certain incompetent monarch really didn't know his position: "I'm still a child myself, and you want me to take care of a child?! But what are you doing? Hey, Uncle Du, why are you so red-faced and thick-necked? Did you quarrel with someone? Who? My uncle? That's easy, I'll call Du Gou when I get back--"

"Your Highness, there is no need for that!" Du Ruhui looked at Zhangsun Wuji's gloomy face and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Duke Zhao is actually on your side."

"Hmm?!" - His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu keenly grasped the message that Du Ruhui was trying to convey to him from his words: "Were you discussing me just now?"

"Yaaaaa~~" Zhinu was still a child less than two years old after all. He was in a good mood when being held by his brother. However, there were too many candles in the Taiji Hall, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, good boy~~" Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said with disgust, he was very skilled in coaxing his younger brother. He held his brother's butt with one hand and patted his back with the other hand, then let him lean on his shoulder to give him a sense of security.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu," Fang Xuanling looked at the King of Chu who was coaxing his brother in a soft voice, his expression somewhat meaningful, "You don't know, the reason why Lord Du quarreled with Lord Wei just now was because the Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan, the Tuyuhun envoy Jie Suha, the Xueyantuo envoy Duo Ni, and the Tocharian envoy Qiu Lishi protested to our Tang Dynasty because of your previous behavior of going north and capturing the leaders of the 18 tribes of the grassland alive..."

"He resisted him..." Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu subconsciously prepared to use the "Tang Dynasty's elegant language" to express cordial greetings to the families of these barbarians. But considering his stupid brother who was sleeping on his shoulder, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu still held back: "What is there to discuss about this matter? How to deal with the Mobei grassland is up to me, the Tang Dynasty. When is it their turn to interfere?!"

"Your Highness, that's what I meant." Wei Zheng felt that he had finally got a chance to clear his name. "So I suggested that if the envoys wanted to continue protesting, Lord Tang should bring them to you. But Lord Du..."

"My Uncle Du is always right!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not even wait for Wei Zheng to finish his words: "Duke Wei, don't I know you? You must have been plotting against me, but the wise and decisive Uncle Du found out, so you two started arguing! Am I right?!"

"Ah...right, right, right!" Fang Xuanling, as an old friend of Du Ruhui, was stunned at this moment: It must be said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is unreasonable, but he really does take action when something happens: "Your Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, Ke Ming was clamoring to practice with Duke Wei earlier!"

"..."At this moment, Wei Zheng really had a sense of absurdity that "I am about to face the challenge, but you choose to surrender to the enemy first" - especially Prime Minister Fang, you, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes... turns out to be a good-for-nothing!

You backstabbed your colleague?! And you did it so smoothly?!
