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

"Dad! Where did you hide Quan Gaisuwen for me?!" As soon as the impetuous Prince of Chu arrived at the Taiji Hall, he opened his voice and shouted: "That bastard actually dared to play tricks on me in front of my retainer. He is really an old man who wants to fish in the sea. He wants to die but still wants to have some fun!"

"You are quite good at writing poems, aren't you?" Emperor Li II was originally reading memorials, but his eldest son wanted to catch up and send him off, so he couldn't refuse: "Come on, come on, you little bastard! Let your father take a good look at you!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to the imperial desk suspiciously, looked at his father, and said confidently: "My son is not wrong. Quan Gaisuwen is playing tricks on his son. Can't you see that?! He compared his son to the tyrant Jie of the Xia Dynasty..."

"Don't you look like one?" His Majesty Li Er said, and his son was silent. But then he continued, "Forget it... I don't want to discuss this with you." His Majesty Li Er looked at his big bitter melon and frowned slightly, "What happened yesterday that you even stayed outside the palace... Wait... Have you been crying again?"

"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sometimes hated the sudden sharp insight of a certain incompetent monarch: "I didn't cry, I just went hunting at Yushan Villa yesterday and shot a few pheasants. When they were roasting, the smoke got into my eyes."

"Since you don't want to say... Dad won't ask..." Hearing his son's words, His Majesty Li II's eyes flickered a few times, and then he continued: "I believe you have met Tang Jian, so you should also know that your people are now in the Chang'an County Government..."

"Dad, that's not it." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had no intention of beating around the bush with his father: "I want to kill Quan Gaisuwen."

"For Yuwen Qing?" His Majesty Li II raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was the first time he felt that there was another him and another Yuchi Gong in this world. "I have been very tolerant. You little brat, don't take advantage of me. Quan Gaisuwen cannot die, at least not now."

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that according to some strange law, a difficult-to-kill villain like Quan Gaisuwen would definitely cause a huge trouble later in the story, so he immediately planned to continue to strengthen his father: "Dad, don't keep this guy for a momentary impulse, this guy is the root of trouble..."

"Kuan'er..." After hearing the words "the root of trouble", His Majesty Li II felt mixed emotions: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"Dad, this is meaningless." His Royal Highness the King of Chu understood what he meant and immediately retorted: "What level is he, Quan Gaisu Wen? Comparing with me..."

"That's true..." His Majesty Li II continued, following his son's meaning, "No matter from which aspect, he, Quan Gaisuwen, cannot be compared with the young hero, His Royal Highness the King of Chu..."

"Dad... I'm a tiger... but I'm not stupid..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't expect that his good intentions would be misinterpreted in this way: "Can Quan Gaisuwen really not be killed?"

"Not yet." His Majesty Li Er had already made his own plans in mind: "As for the future, let alone Quan Gaisuwen, even the princess of Goguryeo can be given to you by Dad."

"... Dad, I said thank you out of politeness, but don't do such impolite things next time." At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that the "long-legged mandarin duck sachet" hanging around his waist was as heavy as a thousand pounds: "I am not you and my grandfather... I haven't even eaten the food in the bowl, but I'm looking at the pot..."

"Then father will talk about this after you finish eating the food in your bowl." Seeing that the brat didn't understand his hint at all, Emperor Li II had no choice but to change the subject silently: "Wait until your eldest brother comes later--"

"Why is my eldest brother here?!" Before his father could finish his words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu realized something was wrong: "Dad, you are not going to entrust your son to me, are you?!"

"..." His Majesty Li Er found that his fatherly heart could not last even half a minute on the boy in front of him: "Your Highness the Prince of Chu, may I ask, are you so arrogant that you forget yourself because of your growing reputation recently?!"

“Father… you misunderstood me…” Seeing his father getting angry, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu tried to explain: “What I meant was that you asked me to support my elder brother, not that you entrusted my elder brother to me…”

The prince... "Gu"...

As for "托" - aren't "托" and "托" both "托"?

At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's talent for sophistry once again reached a new height.

but……

His Majesty Li Er was not stupid. When his eldest son called out "Father Emperor", he knew that the other party was going to start making up stories to trick him again...

But this time, for some reason, Emperor Li II did not expose his son.

"...So you can understand it this way?" After hearing his son's sophistry, His Majesty Li II did not get angry for the first time, but continued: "Kuan'er, Dad needs you to do me a favor."

"So polite?!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew that the reason he didn't get beaten today was not because his tyrant father had a change of heart, nor because he was eloquent.

"Dad, please don't be polite. I'm afraid you won't agree." His Majesty Li II looked at his son with a smile and said, "After all, everyone in Chang'an knows that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the Qilin of Longyou..."

"Dad, I have many titles, don't pick the most low-key one." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew that he seemed to be in trouble today: "My son can also be the Sleeping Dragon of Chang'an..."

"It's not over yet, right?" Emperor Li II's patience is limited.

"All right..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, the young master of Chang'an, could not escape the fate that was arranged for him: "Dad, just tell me who you want to kill... I will come back and -"

"Brother Kuan!" The Prince of Chu was halfway through his words when the Crown Prince's voice suddenly rang out from outside the palace: "Father, has Brother Kuan returned?"

"..." The "Sang Biao Chu King", who had already felt very embarrassed because he was forced to bow his head, immediately frowned after hearing his elder brother's call that sounded like "Mimi from the sky": "How dare you still have the nerve to see me?!"

"Brother Kuan..." After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the hall, he did not even immediately bow to His Majesty Li Er, but quickly came to stand in front of his brother, then carefully looked at him for a long while, then frowned and said: "Did you cry yesterday?"

"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned when he heard this: "This is not important, it's just that I was smoked... Tell me, what did you conspire with this tyrant to plot against me?"

"Brother Kuan... it's not about that..." The Crown Prince said hesitantly, "It's mainly because I'm excited about seeing Yuwen Qing, and I'm thinking about whether I can have him join my Sixth Army as a guard commander to help me improve military discipline." (Note 1)

"Dad, my eldest brother is planning a rebellion and he doesn't even bother to hide from people?!" After hearing what his eldest brother said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately turned his head and looked at his father, the tyrant king, behind him: "You don't even care about this?!"

"Ha..." His Majesty Li Er sneered at the words, and then he said slowly with a disdainful tone: "This will make you two brothers evenly matched, so that Dad can sit firmly on the throne as emperor."

“Wow…” King Chu now feels like “Tang II is about to die”: “I really never expected… Dad, you would actually play like this… And my eldest brother… Ah… Dad, after you’ve been thinking about Yuwen Qing, you’ve started thinking about him instead… Isn’t this a sure sign of a tyrant…”

"Brother Kuan, you misunderstood..." Upon seeing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interrupted and said, "This is just a false illusion to confuse Quan Gaisuwen... If you don't believe me, brother... Then I will give you the Crown Prince's left guard. This man is very skilled and you should look up to him."

"Oh? What's that person's name?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was aroused by his elder brother's words.

"Hegan Chengji."
