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

Just when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a dilemma of being unable to prove his innocence due to his brother's credit bankruptcy, suddenly, a young man rushed in from outside the door.

"Dad! Something terrible has happened. Huairen and his men have started a fight with the envoys from Western Turkic Khaganate! You should quickly take people to calm the situation down!" - Tang Guan followed the plan and personally joined the fight. He went to the Honglu Temple to file a complaint with his father Tang Jian.

But...he was halfway through his words when his eyes suddenly caught sight of the Crown Prince beside Tang Jian...

"Um... Your Highness, you are here too..." After discovering that the Crown Prince was also present, Tang Guan hurriedly bowed to him respectfully: "Your Highness, it is really hateful to say that the envoy of the Western Turkic Khan Yipishekui, Ashina Mihe, for some reason, actually ran to the West Market today and had a conflict with Li Huairen and Cheng Chumo who were selecting horses there..."

"Don't say any more..." As soon as the Crown Prince heard it, he knew who wrote it: "Just tell me whether I should know about this now."

"Hmm..." Tang Guan felt that such a difficult question was really too much of a test for his not-so-bright brain.

So he blinked and then turned his gaze to his old father.

“……”而唐俭……尽管他现在恨不得直接痛揍自家的混账儿子，但……出于父爱，在儿子的视线看过来的时候，他还是微不可察的摇了摇头。

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you shouldn't know about this!" Tang Guan now had the confidence, so he spoke with assurance.

Of course, it would have been better if Tang Guan hadn’t turned around and asked Tang Jian, “Right, Dad?” after saying this.

“……”Tang Jian now wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Really, he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

As expected, God was fair - he gave Tang Jian the eloquent talent, but the price was that he gave birth to a stupid son like Tang Guan.

It’s fair, it’s really fair.

Tang Jian estimated that His Majesty should have had such thoughts, but his cause and effect were too great, so His Royal Highness the King of Chu seemed even more difficult to describe.

"Then I... will just pretend that I don't know about this!" Li Chengqian knew that his stinky younger brother had run so fast before, and he must have no intention of doing anything good.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Tang Guan was a very honest person. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said "just pretend you don't know", he really ignored him and turned around to ask his father for advice: "Brother Yuwen has already brought people to lock up all those bastards in the stable..."

"Well, well, well... that reckless man is indeed the favorite general of the King of Chu..." Tang Jian was feeling dizzy now: "How badly did you hurt him?"

"Don't worry, Dad. They are all minor injuries." Tang Guan said without hesitation, "Brother Jiang said that we can't make things difficult for you."

"..." Jiang Sheng... Tang Jian is also familiar... This guy... is similar to Yuwen Qing.

So Tang Jian’s current mood is hard to judge: You guys are not making things difficult for me… You guys have locked the envoys in the stable! Isn’t this making things difficult for me? !

Why, you have to sell these Turks to brothels, and then I have to pay the money to redeem them, then it will be difficult, right? !

Tang Jian immediately cursed in his heart.

This is really a difficult matter.

But it has to be done even if it is difficult!

“You little brat, go tell Jiang Sheng to send the person to the Chang'an County Court immediately! Go and file a complaint with the county magistrate yourself, explain the whole story clearly, and let the government make the judgment!” It must be said that Tang Jian, a veteran in officialdom, is well versed in the ways of being an official – since the incident has already happened, I cannot escape it anyway, but I have to find a way to drag some people into it, and then use this blame-shifting behavior to gain a good reputation of being “fair and selfless”.

"Ah... Dad... This isn't good..." Tang Guan felt that his father was really confused sometimes: "If you do this... you are sending Brother Yuwen and Brother Jiangsheng, as well as Huairen, Yiai, Chumo, Duhe, and Changsunchong to jail. If Brother Kuan finds out about this..."

"Wait a minute..." Tang Jian felt his teeth ache as he listened to his son reading out such a long list of names: "Prince of Hejian... Prime Minister Fang... Duke of Lu... hiss..." Tang Jian realized that the evil forces in Chang'an, led by the King of Chu, had indeed become a big force: "You bunch of bastards... are you all taking action?!"

"Dad, what are you talking about..." Although Tang Guan's tone of voice was a bit cowardly, it did not mean that there was no contrast in what he said: "Aren't they just a few Turks? Brother Kuan took their Khan to Jinshan to offer sacrifices to the gods. As his brothers, how can we lose face for him in such a matter? That's right, all of us took action. Anyway, we had Brother Yuwen and Brother Jiang Sheng to lead the charge. Except for the one named Ashina Nihe who was a little tricky, the rest... Hey... I'm not bragging, son--"

"Okay, stop talking!" Tang Jian didn't want to listen anymore: "I know what kind of person you are!"

Damn it... On that midsummer night more than ten years ago, why did I feel that my thirty-three-year-old wife was so charming and attractive...

it's good now……

At the beginning, it was an impulse, and the love was strong under the moonlight... Now, this "impulsive punishment" still couldn't forgive him...

Guan'er, you little bastard... you really made things difficult for me...

Come to think of it, if I had known that I would give birth to a brat like you...

I can't say anything... Never mind...

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Tang Jian's mind.

But in the end, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately coughed twice, Old Tang chose to accept reality.

"Go tell Yuwen Qing that it was me who said that. Ask him to send the man back to the Honglu Temple!" Tang Jian finished speaking. Seeing that his son was about to ask a question, he immediately slapped him on the butt: "Go quickly if I tell you to go! What are you still standing here for?!"

"Oh..." Tang Guan found that his father was really old, and the strength of his feet was very weak now...

After Tang Guan took the order and left, Tang Jian looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I was rude before. Please forgive me." After saying that, Tang Jian bowed respectfully to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Lord Tang no longer has any doubts?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince... please don't tease me..." Tang Jian's face was filled with bitterness at this moment: "Your Highness the Prince of Chu's style of doing things... has always been unconventional and beyond the expectations of ordinary people. I am aware of this."

"Oh..." After hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded pretentiously: "So Lord Tang has begun to understand Brother Kuan's style of doing things?"

"Alas... Your Highness the Crown Prince, please don't tease me... I misunderstood before..." Hearing this, Tang Jian sighed first, then continued: "First, His Highness the Prince of Chu asked you to meet Quan Gaisuwen, and then asked his retainers to work with Guan'er and others to cause trouble for Ashina Nihe... If my guess is correct, His Highness the Prince of Chu is using this two-pronged approach, and he is probably planning to take the opportunity to stir up civil strife between Goguryeo and Western Turkestan..."
