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

"..." Seeing His Royal Highness the King of Chu praising "The Art of War" so much, Tang Jian felt that he should have a good chat with Yu Shinan someday - did this old man secretly hide a book of annotations on "The Art of War". Otherwise, everyone has learned "The Art of War", why does it seem that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has learned a different version of "The Art of War" than everyone else...

Hmm... maybe Duke Yu is really a hidden master of military strategy...

In the lobby, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at Tang Jian, who had begun to purse his lips in thought, and he knew that he had succeeded again.

Soon, Lu Dongzan, Duoni, Qiu Lishi and Yosuha were brought to the meeting hall by officials from the Honglu Temple.

However, when these four people saw His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was lying on the desk in front of them and looking at them with a smile on his face, they felt a chill down their spines for no reason.

So, in the lobby, both sides remained silent for a long time, looking at each other without saying a word.

"No, why are you being polite to me?" - Seeing that the other party refused to speak, His Royal Highness the King of Chu could not help but become more curious: "Didn't you clamor to see me before? Why, now that you have seen me, you are silent again? Why do I feel that... you are a bit 'Ye Gonghaolong'?!"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words..." Tang Jian, who was standing by, had no intention of interfering with the normal performance of His Highness the King of Chu, but he started with a strange metaphor as soon as he opened his mouth: "Besides, these envoys probably don't know the allusions you are talking about..."

"Hmph... Lord Tang, don't underestimate me!" When the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan heard Tang Jian's words, he snorted coldly: "I have read books in the Central Plains and know what Ye Gong likes dragons!"

"Lord Tang, look at this, you've been slapped in the face, right?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu glanced at Tang Jian with a smile.

Tang Jian, on the other hand, coughed twice in embarrassment.

But the next moment, something strange happened!

"Fuck you!" The Prince of Chu, who was smiling, suddenly picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it on Lu Dongzan's head. "The Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty is talking, and you, a Tibetan Prime Minister, have the right to interrupt?!"

"Bang!" Lu Dongzan subconsciously dodged the inkstone that was flying through the air, and it hit the threshold of the gate and instantly broke into pieces.

"Your Majesty the Prince of Chu..." As an old unlucky person, Tang Jian rarely felt protected by His Majesty the Prince of Chu, but to be honest... this feeling was really strange...

"Lord Tang, I want to remind you something." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw that Lu Dongzan dared to hide, he immediately planned to pick up the sheep-fat jade brush washer on the table and continue to smash it at him: "You are the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty. In diplomatic occasions, you represent the face of the Tang Dynasty. If these bastards are disrespectful to you, they are disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty. In this case, we should give them a cold shoulder. If it doesn't work, we can go to the Ministry of War next door to say hello, and naturally someone will ride a horse with a sword in hand to talk to their king!"

"Your Highness... what you are talking about is..." Tang Jian looked at the brush washer in the hand of His Highness the Prince of Chu with some heartache: "But can I ask you to change something to smash it with - this is a treasure bestowed upon me by His Majesty..."

"My father is too stingy..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu put down his brush. He then looked around and found nothing suitable. So he raised his head and looked at the furious Lu Dongzan: "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Your Highness, I just felt that I was looked down upon and made an excuse." Lu Dongzan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"Is Lord Tang doing this out of kindness?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at Duo Ni beside Lu Dongzan, and then continued: "Besides, since you have read books from the Central Plains, then my Han family's sages have enlightened you. In this case, you dare to be so ignorant and show no respect to the pillar of the country beside me. How come you eat my Han family's food and want to smash my Han family's pot?! There is such a reason in the world!"

"..." After His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, the silence in the lobby of the Honglu Temple was deafening.

It has to be said that if His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu were to debate with others, he would definitely be an expert. Even Tang Jian might not be His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's opponent.

But unfortunately, most of the time, when faced with arguments, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would only choose the simplest and most effective method of "convincing others with force" - after all, in his opinion, there was no need to waste words on things that could be solved with just a few moves.

"Mr. Tang..." After a long while, Lu Dongzan suddenly said to Tang Jian, "I was wrong before, I hope you can forgive me!"

"No problem... No problem..." Tang Jian felt that he had finally figured out the correct way to use His Royal Highness the King of Chu - he had to use the "Barbarian King" to rule the barbarians, and the suppression of bloodline power was very effective~~

"Lord Tang, you are still so elegant and easy-going...you have no future..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw that Tang Jian chose to keep the peace, he immediately complained.

Then he looked at the Xueyantuo young master Duo Ni: "Hey, Duo Ni, I want to ask you, did I give you face? Last time I let you go, you didn't feel grateful, and you even joined them in making trouble. What, do you really want to practice with me? All right! I will order someone to find a horse lance, and I will personally show you the skill of seizing the lance and killing people, so that you can die without regrets!"

"No... no... no... no..." The soft persimmon was finally picked out by His Royal Highness the King of Chu from a pile of hard bones. At this moment, after hearing His Royal Highness the King of Chu's threatening words, his face turned pale in an instant, and even his words began to stutter: "Your Highness... Your Highness... I am not the first one..."

"You still want to be the first one?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu sneered when he heard this: "Are you worthy of it?"

"I am not worthy..." Donnie answered without any hesitation.

"Heh..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that although this man was a little timid, he was also smart: "Who is worthy then?"

As soon as His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, Donnie knew that trouble was coming.

No matter how he answered the other party's question, it would be wrong.

Because the other party's real intention was to make him identify the mastermind behind this incident.

And naturally, Duo Ni did not dare to identify it.

Although he was afraid of death, he would not lose his mind because of his fear of death. Now that the Western Turks were caught up in internal strife and could not be relied upon, the Xueyantuo urgently needed new allies, and Tubo, Tuyuhun and Tokharistan were the first three countries to be considered as candidates. At this time, if Duoni betrayed his allies, his move would undoubtedly push the Xueyantuo to a dead end.

So, all of a sudden.

The young master of Xueyantuo, Duo Ni, who had dared to let Yuchi Gong demonstrate his skill of snatching a spear with bare hands before, was now casually suppressed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. In the blink of an eye, he fell into a desperate situation.

What is truly powerful?

At this moment, in the hall, whether it was Tang Jian who was thoughtful, or Lu Dongzan, Yosuha, and Qiu Lishi who were furious, all of them looked at the Queen of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, who was still calm and at ease, and was playing with other ornaments on the table in front of her. They already had the answer to this question.

——The one who can learn to use violence gently is truly powerful! (Note 1)
