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

"..."Quan Gaisu Wen really didn't know how to respond.

Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has no time to take care of him now.

"Xuan Ce, I am only talking about myself. With you joining me, political intrigue has become my forte!" - When it comes to the ability to balance waters and appease people, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is even better than his father and grandfather. Just after showing off his power, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned around and looked at his trusted adviser Wang Xuance with a smile, and began to make big promises: "Xuan Ce, don't worry, in my heart, you are the level of Prime Minister Fang plus Uncle Du, plus my uncle. My father once asked me for you with the twelve prefectures as his fiefdom, but I didn't agree!"

"Your Highness, you..." Wang Xuance, who had long been accustomed to the nonsense of His Highness the King of Chu, could no longer hold back: "I dare not believe the first words, and the second words... do I believe it or not?"

"Your speaking skills have improved?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Wang Xuance in surprise and said, "Xuance, since when did you and I have to use such sharp words?"

"Your Highness... I just don't believe that Your Majesty would be so... foolish..." Wang Xuance said with a bitter face: "Besides, I am not worth this price..."

"I would not trade you for anything else!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said firmly, "Of course, if it's a peerless beauty... that depends on how beautiful she is..."

"Your Highness, you are a very... rigorous person!" Yuan Tiangang, who was watching the show on the side, gave a thumbs up to His Highness the Prince of Chu.

"Hmph, if it were you, I would have to pay for it myself." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has never been polite to Yuan Tiangang, this scoundrel retainer.

"Your Highness, I am sad when you say that..." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

"Master Yuan, haven't you heard it yet?" Wang Xuance was now conscientiously fulfilling his duty as "a servant of the King of Chu who would not be replaced by any of the twelve states": "When have you ever seen His Highness pay for something? - His Majesty has always valued you, but he just doesn't want to say it out loud."

"Brother Xuan Ce is indeed insightful!" Zhang Zhenxuan found that he liked staying with His Royal Highness the King of Chu more and more. After all, everyone here is talented and speaks well.

“How about I have someone set up a table so you three can eat and chat at the same time?” His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Yuan Tiangang had already begun to bow to the two of them to express his gratitude, so before he could even open his mouth, he interrupted the other person’s spell and said, “Can I talk about business first? Brother Su Wen is still kneeling there!”

"Your Highness, he just sat slumped, not kneeling..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang pointed at Quan Gaisu Wen lying on the ground.

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his head and said coldly to Quan Gaisuwen who was slumped on the ground: "Kneel down!"

"..."Quan Gaisu Wen, who stood up and knelt silently at this moment... He didn't understand how miserable he was...The bastard King Chu didn't even plan to let him go.

"Quan Gaisuwen," His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had sorted out his thoughts at this moment, began to speak to Quan Gaisuwen in a stern tone: "I don't intend to waste too much time with you. Within five years, you can rebel in Goguryeo or surrender directly to Gao Jianwu and then take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on those aristocratic families and ministers in Goguryeo. Anyway, I don't want Goguryeo to have any presence in the northwest. Can you do this?"

"Your Highness...you..." Quan Gaisuwen didn't expect that his final plan was actually seen through by the King of Chu.

Yes, he returned to the country this time with the intention of surrendering to Gao Jianwu, and taking the opportunity to help him deal with those aristocratic families and ministers, to regain his own power - after suppressing those rebellions, he would launch a charge towards Gao Jianwu's throne.

Although his body is disabled, he, Quan Gaisu Wen, is still a real man!

Besides, he is not without a son, so this one less... Although there is less happiness, the taste of power can satisfy the gradually expanding desires in his heart.

Besides...

There is no such thing as a single red flower - he didn't believe that the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty would always be in his prime.

Moreover, as he grows older, he believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty will sooner or later understand that if he, as the crown prince, does not fight for some things, he will be courting his own destruction!

"Don't be so hesitant when you talk to me!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Quan Gaisuwen who was hesitant to speak, and immediately said angrily: "You... damn it... you are such a coward, and you can still be called a hero? Just tell me the truth! Can you do it?!"

As His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, the courtyard fell into silence.

After a long while, Quan Gaisuwen's hoarse voice rang out in the courtyard: "Yes!"

"Very good, you should take good care of your injuries in the next period of time." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded after hearing this, then stood up and said to the others around him: "Let's go!"

"Your Highness, the King of Chu! Wait a minute!" Just as the King of Chu was about to lead his retainers to leave, Quan Gaisuwen spoke again: "Your Highness, the King of Chu, I don't understand... You just want me to do this?"

"What else? Asking you to cede territory and pay compensation?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said unhappily, "Do you have the qualifications to make this decision now?"

"I... indeed did not..." Quan Gaisuwen felt that he had somewhat humiliated himself, but then he said unwillingly: "Your Highness, I just want to do something for you... otherwise I will not feel at ease..."

"Is that so..." After hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment, and then said, "Haven't you already declared war on Silla and Baekje? Then you should work harder and continue the unfinished business - after all, the Queen of Silla hasn't written to my father for help for some time, so you have to make some efforts, okay?!"

"..."Although Quan Gaisuwen knew that there was a hidden meaning behind His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's move, he couldn't figure out why the other party did this for a while.

So, after thinking for a moment, Quan Gaisuwen bowed respectfully to His Majesty the King of Chu: "Yes!"

"Let's go." Upon seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu took his three retainers and left the courtyard.

"Farewell to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Quan Gaisuwen leaned over and kowtowed to see him off. He did not stand up from the ground until His Royal Highness the King of Chu had completely left.

"King of Chu... King of Chu!" Quan Gaisuwen looked at the open gate, his eyes filled with endless hatred...

-------------------------------------

"Your Highness, wasn't the request you made to Quan Gaisu Wen today a bit hasty?" After leaving the Honglu Temple, Yuan Tiangang asked the question in his mind for the first time.

"How is it careless?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "My mother has been scolding me recently because I tried to take Sizi out of the palace to play, and that tyrant king even helped her!

So, I thought, let the Queen of Silla send two more bellybands to the tyrant king, so that he would be in a dilemma!

After all, I have to make him understand one thing - he can't live too comfortably, otherwise something bad will happen."

"..." As His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Zhenxuan beside him looked at each other and then stopped talking.

Well... the King of Chu is still the King of Chu...

And your majesty... you should just wish for the best for yourself...
