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

“Zan… Can you recover a little…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Lu Dongzan, who had suddenly transformed into the same person as Mimi Hero, and his expression became very complicated: “I still like the arrogant look you had on the top of Yanqi City.”

"Your Highness, you are joking..." Lu Dongzan tried hard to force a smile on his face, while imagining the "Eighteen Ways for the King of Chu to Die" in his mind, and continued modestly: "Your Highness the King of Chu is such a peerless hero like the bright moon in the sky, and we, the light of fireflies, cannot be compared..."

"Ahem..." Lu Dongzan's flattery of Li Kuan was so intense that even His Majesty Li Er couldn't stand it any longer: "Lu Dongzan, don't worry. I'm here. This little bastard can't do anything to you..."

"Hey..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned his head and sneered at his father: "Dad, you have never been praised like this before, so you feel unbalanced at the moment..."

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, please continue..." His Majesty Li II was too lazy to argue. You are not the only one who would complain. I will go back and have a good talk with the Queen.

Although these conversations were nothing more than the daily interactions between His Majesty Li II and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the father and son could not be more ordinary.

However, Yosuha and the others, who had just seen the daily interactions between Tian Khan and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu for the first time, were already filled with anxiety: No wonder Tian Khan had led his army to rescue Jinshan at the cost of everything. Did you two have such a good relationship? !

Then...then why isn't the crown prince the King of Chu?

Regarding this question, except for His Majesty Li II, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, perhaps everyone in the world wants to know the answer.

It's a pity that no one dared to ask the person involved, because this kind of suicidal behavior is definitely "try and you will die"...

"Alright, I... Bah bah bah..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he had been speaking a lot recently: "Where was I just talking about?"

"Your Highness, you haven't said anything yet..." Although Xueyantuo's young master Duoni did not understand Lu Dongzan's intention of becoming a dog licker, this did not prevent him from being a follower.

"Ah, yes, that's right..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sorted out his thoughts, and then said solemnly: "This king also knows that the reason why the northwest is vast and sparsely populated is because the environment is too harsh. Although the Central Plains produces grain, the conditions are still limited, and there is a lack of cattle and sheep..."

When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, everyone began to listen quietly, because everyone began to look forward to his next words.

“——Take our dynasty for example,” His Royal Highness the King of Chu spoke with a convincing magic when he started to speak seriously: “The wars of the former Sui Dynasty severely damaged the vitality of the Central Plains. The people planted crops, but even key production tools such as oxen were extremely scarce. Those families with strong laborers would have the strong laborers carry the reins and pull hard in front, and the old, weak, women and children would hold the plow from behind... This scene of struggling for survival, this king has witnessed it with his own eyes on his own farm. So from then on, this king secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the people of the Central Plains continue to live like that.

As for you——" His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his eyes to Yosuha and others one by one: "This king also knows that your people have a harder time! When I was in the grassland, this king learned that most women there would conceive in winter and then choose to give birth in late summer and early autumn. Why? Because only in this way can they better give birth to the next generation!

As for you Tibetans, in my opinion... you should be no exception, right?" Li Kuan said this, and his eyes stayed on the face of Lu Dongzan, the Tibetan Prime Minister.

"Your Highness is absolutely right." - At this time, Lu Dongzan could no longer understand the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.

"Look." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu spread his hands and looked at the envoys sincerely: "Everyone is fighting for their lives, so why do they have to kill each other instead of trying to make their people live a good life?"

boom!

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's broad-mindedness even made His Majesty Li II begin to doubt himself: This little bastard... actually has such a broad mind?! Hmm... why do I suddenly feel ashamed of myself?!

Even His Majesty Li II is like this, let alone Yosuha and others.

Everyone spontaneously began to look at His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a new perspective.

Of course, there was one person who remained unmoved.

This person is Tang Jian.

Your Highness the Prince of Chu... It's ok for you to deceive His Majesty and those envoys, but you want to deceive me... Hey... No way!

Broad-minded? Ha... What a joke!

On the way to the Northern Expedition, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu would kick the dogs on the roadside before walking away... Can you have such a broad mind? !

This little bastard... this clever little guy who thinks he has an 80% chance of winning, who knows what bad things he might be planning at this moment!

It is said that Tang Jian and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu have a deep bond.

Our Minister of the Ministry of Rites is the soulmate that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been looking for even after traveling through mountains and rivers!

It’s a pity... His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu doesn’t know about this yet, and Tang Jian... he hopes that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will never know about this!

After all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, everyone knows.

Closer to home.

At this moment, the four envoys who were successfully lured into the trap by His Royal Highness the King of Chu could no longer sit still.

"Your Highness, do you want to... start a trade in cattle and sheep?" Yosuha had not expected that after he and others were forced to accept that the Mobei grassland would belong to the Tang Dynasty from now on, the other party actually planned to give such a generous reward!

"Your Majesty, this..." Tang Jian knew that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had definitely never mentioned this matter to His Majesty Li II, because if he had mentioned it, His Majesty Li II would have instructed him this morning. After all, this was a very important national policy!

The reason why His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not mention...

This is because he has become accustomed to opening his own "Small Court of the King of Chu" when something happens, and then asking for advice from his trusted retainer Wang Xuance.

Of course, sometimes Gangzi also likes to join in the fun, and he will volunteer to tell fortunes for the head of the family to predict good or bad luck.

However, his utter loyalty often resulted in His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu throwing a pair of golden cloud-buying shoes in his face - after all, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu always thought that these scoundrel retainers who could do more than the head of the family were asking for a beating.

But then again, as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Central Plains had already started trade with the nomadic peoples in the north.

This policy is actually beneficial to both parties.

Of course, the prerequisite is that both sides are evenly matched, or the stronger side is willing to abide by the rules.

But our Prince Chu never seems to follow the rules...

So... almost at the same time, the four envoys who originally thought that "God has opened his eyes and the King of Chu has become a good man", the flames of hope that had just risen in their eyes, were extinguished in the blink of an eye.

King of Chu...trade...

Hmm...wait a minute...something seems wrong here...

Bandits...robbery...

Oh! That's right!
