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

"You seem very confident in yourself?" For some reason, when Emperor Li II saw his son still doing things the same way as before in front of him today, he felt an indescribable excitement and relief in his heart.

"Only 98%." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his eyebrows and gave his own analysis: "Compared to when you were young... I should be much more confident."

"That's right," His Majesty Li Er nodded upon hearing this, "At least your elder brother and Qingque are both real 'Chu King's followers' - let alone fighting you, if you want to start a rebellion, they will probably rush to be your accomplices."

“Alas…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu spread his hands and said directly: “Dad, who can you blame for this? - Although I am the second child, I am very different from the one in the previous generation…”

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu has a noble character. I cannot compare to him." As His Majesty Li II spoke, he quickened his eating pace.

"No... Dad... Let's eat slowly... There's no rush..." Realizing that he might be in trouble, he tactfully poured a cup of tea for his father and handed it to him: "Dad... Have some tea..."

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, this tea is scalding hot. I dare not drink it..." Emperor Li II turned on the water machine to put pressure on his son.

"Hey...you incompetent king..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu put his teacup on the table and said, "I am here today to call you to task! Can you please stop being so sarcastic?!"

"Raising an army to punish the culprit?" His Majesty Li Er was immediately amused when he heard this: "Your Highness the Prince of Chu, you have finally grown up... You dare to come here alone to raise an army to punish the culprit?"

"Then I may have used the wrong idiom..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that he should think carefully before speaking: "I came here today to punish the criminals - is this statement valid?"

"Ask whatever you want to ask..." His Majesty Li II sighed upon hearing this: "Since you are willing to speak directly to me even at this point, I will allow you to ask me three questions."

"Well then," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded upon hearing this, without any politeness, "Are you responsible for my aunt's death?"

"Yes!" His Majesty Li II's answer was clear and concise.

"When did you know that Li Yuanji wanted to harm my aunt?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's eyes began to become somewhat dark and mysterious.

“The night before he took action…” His Majesty Li II’s eyes were filled with sadness, but his tone was full of murderous intent: “That bastard Li Yuanji… He deliberately sent someone to deliver the news to me at that time. When I was rushing from Bingzhou to Niangzi Pass without stopping… I would never be able to clear myself of the suspicion… Your royal grandmother refused to see me before she died, and it was for this reason! Kuan’er… Dad can’t explain it! I can’t explain it…” His Majesty Li II’s voice gradually lowered to the end, and he even choked with sobs.

"..." His Highness the Prince of Chu had never expected that Li Yuanji could scheme against his father to such an extent: "Dad... you are such a wimp..."

“Care leads to confusion.” It took a long while for Emperor Li II to recover from his grief. Hearing this, he did not deny it, but his mood remained low: “Kuan’er, Dad often got into trouble when he was a child. At that time, your uncle and your aunt often pleaded for Dad, and even held Dad in their arms under the belt of your royal grandfather, and did not hesitate to use their bodies to bear the punishment for Dad…”

"Third question." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu would not be swayed by any emotion at the critical moment: "You wiped out the uncle's family and Li Yuanji. Was there any reason for your aunt? Also, does my grandfather know the truth of this matter?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, it seems you have asked one extra question." Although Emperor Li II had a stern face at this time, in his heart, he admired his son even more.

"You are my father. It is only natural for a father to admit his mistake if his son acts naughty." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, and stretched out his hand to take a piece of lamb chop from the plate in front of His Majesty Li II and ate it as a snack before bed.

"Whether your aunt died or not, your father, your uncle and Li Yuanji are destined to fight to the death." His Majesty Li II looked at his son and said calmly, "As for eradicating the roots, that was a plan that father had made long ago. It has nothing to do with your aunt! You have to know that if father loses in the end, our family will end up the same!

The winner takes it all! That's all!

As for your royal grandfather... Dad doesn't know how much he knows about the truth of the matter, and doesn't care.

There are some things that my father deserves to be tortured, and it is also right for the old man to be tortured!" His Majesty Li II said at the end, and his eyes closed. After a long while, when he opened his eyes again, this wise and powerful Tang Dynasty leader returned to his usual state.

The emperor's heart was as deep as the sea, but today, Li Shimin made an exception for his son.

"You have asked all your questions. It's your turn now." Emperor Li II said as he silently put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at his son: "I only have one question. Do you believe what I just said?"

"Son... I believe it 70%!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu believed that the answer to the question should be rigorous: "The remaining 30%... The reason why I don't believe it is that my son is afraid that you will be too proud..."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Li II was also shocked by his son's train of thought, but being shocked did not stop him from reaching for his waist.

"Alas, you foolish king!" His Highness the King of Chu knew that he would face this disaster today, so he didn't dare to eat too much for dinner: "My answer is the most wise one! Dad, why do you have to force me?"

"I'm forcing you?!" His Majesty Li II was almost laughing out of anger: "You bastard... Fine, fine... tell me, where is the wisdom in this 'believe 70%'?!"

"Dad, do you know what I said to Uncle Wuji back in Mount Li?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu pursed his lips upon hearing this, and then said, "I told him that from now on, I will not believe a single word he says, because if I choose to believe him, it would be like giving him the opportunity to hurt Mother!"

"So you are afraid that I will hurt someone?" Emperor Li II felt that he was really... miserable at this moment!

"Dad, you are different..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu blinked when he heard it: "Didn't I tell you that I believe you 70% - that is to say, if you plan to stab my eldest brother with a knife one day, I can guarantee that he will at most be seriously injured, and will not die... Um... Can you understand my son's explanation? Just like Xiao Ke before..."

"Alright, alright... Your Highness the Prince of Chu is far-sighted... It's me... It's my father who is narrow-minded..." After understanding the true meaning of his son's words, Emperor Li II was no longer angry about it. Instead, he felt relieved in his heart: "But... Kuan'er... Why do you always use your elder brother as an example?"

"Then I'm waiting for you to stab my grandfather? Or my mother? Or Qingque?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that some tyrants were really... He gave them face but they didn't know how to cover it up.

"No...why do I have to stab the people close to me in the back?" Emperor Li II found out about this and had to talk it over.

“That’s not…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu touched his nose, then grinned and whispered, “Is there someone with a very bad reputation in the past…”

"What did you say?!" His Majesty Li Er, who had calmed down, was now completely irritated: "Asshole! You asshole! Just wait for me! Just wait for me! Hong San! Hong San!"

"I'm here!" The palace door was opened again, and the eunuch Hong San, who led four or five palace masters, entered the palace after hearing the sound.

"Hong San, which side are you from?!" At this time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was already dodging left and right under his father's belt and running around the pillar, was immediately furious when he saw this: "You are receiving my money!"

"You guys, be careful when you capture His Highness, don't hurt him." While bearing the scolding from His Highness the King of Chu, Hong San whispered to his subordinates. Then, after his subordinates took the order and went up, Hong San bowed to His Highness the King of Chu with a smile: "Master, I will naturally not betray you, but they... are not servants of the Dou family..."
