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

“Ha…ha…” After hearing what his father, the emperor, said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately laughed in disdain: “Hahahahaha…”

"What's wrong with you, kid?" Emperor Li II didn't understand what was so funny about himself.

"Dad..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn't want to say something hurtful, but some incompetent monarchs just couldn't figure out the situation, so he had no choice: "This man is the great-grandson of the old Taoist priest Zhang. Now he has taken over the old Taoist priest's position and become the worshiper of our Dou family. Dad... this is not the way you poach people..."

"..." After listening to his son's words, Emperor Li II was silent for a while.

Afterwards, the mentality of this great emperor completely collapsed: "No... Why?! How can a boy like you have such a great talent under his command?!"

"Dad, I have seen the old Taoist priest." His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that his father was aggrieved again, so he did not indulge him: "When the old Taoist priest mentioned you, it was really..."

"Alright, you don't have to continue." His Majesty Li II waved his hand, completely giving up: "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture to get the people! Remember to go to Concubine Yin when you come back. I didn't let anyone tell your mother about this. You should know why, right?"

"I know, I know. I didn't mention this to mother when I saw her just now." What should His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu not know? Dad is afraid that mother will find out about this and apologize to Concubine Yin on his behalf, which will make the latter mistakenly think that mother is using her power to bully others.

Sigh... Speaking of which, I will also have the same troubles as this tyrant in the future...

"You seem to understand a lot, kid?" Seeing his son's face suddenly filled with a melancholy expression, Emperor Li II couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, Prince Chu, are you starting to learn humbly and prepare for a rainy day now?"

"Dad, don't flatter yourself." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly looked down on him: "I am a smart kid and I am willing to learn from you. The best person in our Li family in this area should be our grandfather, right?"

"..." After hearing his son's words, Emperor Li II was a little angry, but he had to admit that his son was right: "I was negligent..."

"Dad, I won't talk to you about this anymore. I'm leaving first." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was wondering whether he should go to the Shangshi Bureau first to bring some food to Xuan Ce and Zhang Zhenxuan.

"Come back!" Seeing his son was about to run away, Emperor Li II said in dissatisfaction, "I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Dad, is there anything else?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was worried that if it was any later, the delicacies from the Shangshi Bureau might be looted by Qingque again.

"Yin Hongzhi had Yuwen Qing break one of his legs. According to the news from the imperial physician, even if this leg is healed in the future, it will still be difficult to walk..."

"Good!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not expect that Yuwen Qing would still be his lucky general after arriving in Chang'an: "Yuwen Qing has really never let this king down!"

"You're quite happy?!" Seeing his son suddenly clapping his hands in joy, Emperor Li II couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Do you know, kid, that Yin Hongzhi, I originally planned to make him the chief eunuch of the royal palace for your fifth brother Li You in the future..."

"Stop it!" When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu heard his father's words, he immediately doubled the reward he had originally intended to give to Yuwen Qing. "Who is Yin Hongzhi? His father dug up our Li family's ancestral tombs and killed my short-lived fifth uncle. Later, after Chang'an was captured, my grandfather personally ordered him to be beheaded in the downtown area...

Dad, do you think if you were Yin Hongzhi, would you be able to forget this hatred? "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought it was time to remind his father.

"I have never taken my anger out on him. Besides, the emperor's grace is so great. How could Yin Hongzhi not be able to distinguish right from wrong?!" Emperor Li II felt that his son was still too narrow-minded.

This is definitely not his style.

"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the tyrant who suddenly became confident in front of him. He thought about it and decided to use dialectical thinking to defeat the other party's seemingly impeccable thinking logic.

"Dad, if you were Yin Hongzhi, would you forget about the revenge for your father's murder just because of the emperor's great grace?

If you really did that, then you are an unfilial person. How can an unfilial person serve as the chief historian of my fifth brother's palace?

If you haven't forgotten, then when you become the chief envoy of your fifth brother's palace, what will you do next?" Li Kuan said here, and seeing that his father seemed to be lost in thought, he immediately made a knowing attack: "Dad, if you have put yourself in Yin Hongzhi's perspective now, then you will understand what I mean by what I am going to say next.

If Yin Hongzhi wanted to be filial to his father, then he would be disloyal to my fifth brother and you! And how could an unfaithful person be the chief official of my fifth brother's palace? !

This matter was wrong from the beginning, and how wrong and ridiculous is it?!"

As His Royal Highness the King of Chu finished speaking, the hall fell into a long silence.

"Kuan'er..." When Emperor Li II spoke again, his tone became a little heavy: "You are right..."

“Of course I am right,” His Royal Highness Prince Chu said this with full confidence: “After all, I have never been tempted by beauty… well…” When His Royal Highness Prince Chu said this, Yang Wanwan’s peerless beauty suddenly flashed through his mind… So, his tone suddenly weakened by three points: “Actually, there is…”

"Why don't you continue to be stubborn?" Emperor Li II did not expect that this silly boy would actually turn off his sarcasm by himself.

"Dad, you are a wise ruler, you can't learn from your son... No, that's not right... You can't learn from your royal grandfather... Forget it, you still can't learn from me..." Between the two choices of respecting his royal grandfather and preserving his own reputation, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finally chose the former.

"It's not easy..." At this moment, His Majesty Li II looked at his eldest son in front of him, his face full of satisfaction: "It's been so long, and this is the first time that Dad has heard you praise your father with such good words... Well... And, you are willing to sacrifice yourself to preserve the reputation of your royal grandfather..."

"Actually..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that sometimes their Li family lacked someone who was good at summarizing things: "After all, the three of us ended up with the same goal in some matters, and we are all the same kind..."

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the King of Chu loves to tell the truth.

But if you love to tell the truth, you have to pay a price for telling the truth.

then……

In the Taiji Hall on this day, His Majesty Li II, who had not exercised for a long time, once again picked up the belt in his hand and, like a tiger descending from the mountain, pressed His Majesty the King of Chu to the ground when he turned around and wanted to walk out of the hall without knowing the danger was coming.

"Hey?! You tyrant king?! You actually took advantage of my carelessness and attacked me from behind?! Do you have any martial ethics?!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not want to use a cliché, but his tyrant father wanted to use a cliché.

"Hmph, you little brat," His Majesty Li II propped his son's chin with one hand to prevent him from getting hurt, and then used the strap on his other hand to whip him, "You only know how to irritate your father all day long. If I don't beat you up, your father will feel old!"
