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

"Ah... this..." His Highness the King of Chu did not expect that this old generation of retainers would treat him like this right from the start...

Loyal and courageous? Speaking up for justice?!

Well... please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu for not being able to think of any other objective words.

This Zhang Yu has completely lost himself in the praise of the older generation of Dou family retainers, especially Dou Shu'er.

"Since Your Highness has his own opinion, I will not interfere. However, Your Highness, I have to remind you that there are people in Chang'an who want to harm you. It's just that you are strong and your reputation is at its peak. They are forced to choose to endure it temporarily. So Your Highness, from now on... you should restrain your words and deeds and those of your young retainers - don't act recklessly like you did today."

“How could this be possible…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu found that although this old generation of retainers was steady, they were really… boring…

"Wang Xuance is a good guy," Xue Yuanjing suddenly changed the topic to another matter: "Yang Yuzhi offended you before, but he handled everything very properly. Your Highness, if you want to do anything extraordinary in the future, you can discuss it with this person first. In this way, perhaps the impact can be minimized afterwards."

Ok!

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was sweating profusely for Wang Xuance at this moment: "Lord Xue... we should not be so petty... Xuance was doing this for my own good, so... ahem... it was indeed a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple - he didn't even know that you were my retainer..."

"Your Highness, you misunderstood." Xue Yuanjing shook his head at first, then said seriously: "The first rule that Dou's retainers must abide by is to strictly prohibit internal fighting. When encountering things, they must wholeheartedly serve the master and consider the Dou family. This Wang Xuance is indeed a talent. He knows how to achieve his goals through reasonable means while abiding by the rules. It is really a good thing for such a person to become your think tank."

"Are you mocking me for being brainless..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he was being looked down upon.

"Why would I think so?" Xue Yuanjing blinked and said, "I just think that Your Highness acts...sometimes a little rashly, and you should have someone watching you."

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was really speechless now.

"Okay, Your Highness, I will send someone to the palace to ask for your permission now. You can rest here first." Seeing that the conversation had come to an end, Xue Yuanjing immediately stood up and walked out of the hall, intending to get things done first.

"Okay, you go first." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was now relaxed, and his tone became more casual.

After half a stick of incense.

The person Xue Yuanjing sent to ask for an imperial decree returned safely from the palace.

After confirming with his subordinates, Xue Yuanjing personally led the King of Chu to the gate of the prison in Jingzhao Prefecture and let him meet the retainers he had been thinking about.

"Your Highness..." As soon as Wang Xuance and the others saw His Highness the King of Chu, they immediately blurted out the excuses they had prepared in prison: "It's not our fault, Your Highness... It was Dou Fengjie and Yin Hongzhi who went too far..."

"Alright, alright. I don't mean to blame you." His Royal Highness Prince Chu waved his hand after hearing this, and then he looked at Zhang Zhenxuan who looked a little embarrassed: "Zhenxuan, are you okay?"

"Your Highness, I am fine..." Zhang Zhenxuan was a little bit lacking in confidence at this moment. After all, he personally threw Dou Fengjie from the second floor of Xiankelai to the stable below...

"I'm glad you're okay." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded and said, "Next time you encounter this kind of thing, you should be smarter and not let others take you down all at once. At least leave someone to deliver a letter to me, right? It's only because you met Lord Xue that you guys—"

"Your Highness, it's nothing, just take them away!" Just as His Highness the King of Chu was about to reveal Xue Yuanjing's identity, Xue Yuanjing suddenly interrupted him coldly: "I only chose to let them go because of our past friendship. But I will also make it clear this time. If they do this again next time, they will not be imprisoned in the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison, but in the Ministry of Justice's prison!"

"Ah, you old man!" Seeing that the old man dared to be so arrogant in front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Yuwen Qing's tiger-crazy attribute immediately erupted: "Do you believe me--"

"——Behave yourself!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already understood Xue Yuanjing's previous intention, so he put on a stern face and kicked Yuwen Qing first, then said to Wang Xuance and Yuan Tiangang and Jiang Sheng beside him: "Well, you guys have worked hard too. Didn't you enjoy the previous banquet? Come on, this time I'll treat you to a meal at Tianxiang Tower."

“Your Highness, is that a proper restaurant?” Yuan Tiangang saw that His Highness the Prince of Chu did not blame him and the others, but was planning to treat them to a meal to calm their nerves, so he immediately approached the owner of the house in a servile manner and said, “Did I hear that…”

"Gangzi, am I too gentle to you?" His Highness the King of Chu did not expect that this fellow would not even bother to pretend: "Don't listen to it, let's not go to Tianxianglou, how about going to another one, Fudingji?"

"Your Highness, don't..." The moment His Royal Highness the King of Chu finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang felt that there was something wrong with the looks his colleagues gave him.

No... aren't we all serious people?

how……

"There is one more thing," His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment and asked Xue Yuanjing beside him, "Mr. Xue, do you know who owns the cyclamen?"

"Your Highness, you..." Xue Yuanjing saw His Highness the King of Chu suddenly asked this, and he immediately realized that something was wrong: "Is it possible for me not to know?"

"Then I'll go ask Uncle Dou." His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always known who the most reliable person around him is.

"Your Highness, that is the property of the Qinghe Cui family." Xue Yuanjing saw that he could not avoid the matter, so he simply told the owner of the family: "It's just that the Jingzhao Wei family also participated in it."

"Oh, so that's it..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded after hearing this: "That's right, a strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake. Yuwen Qing!"

"Ah?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly spoke. Yuwen Qing was stunned at first, then his face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "I'm here!"

"After you go back tonight, just get a good sleep and recharge your energy. Tomorrow, ask Lord Jiang to open the warehouse, and you gather the troops, take a few boxes of red gold and colored glaze, and go see the shopkeeper of Xiankelai. Tell him that I want to buy that restaurant." As His Royal Highness the King of Chu spoke, he came to Zhang Zhenxuan and tidied up his messy Taoist robe.

"Your Highness?" Zhang Zhenxuan didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu would suddenly become so friendly.

"Chang'an City has many rules, and you have suffered." His Royal Highness the King of Chu patted the young priest on the shoulder, and then he turned to look at the retainers around him: "Chang'an City has many rules, but I have only one rule - the incident was not provoked by my Chu Palace, so the one who provoked the incident should honestly bear the wrath of my Chu Palace!

A minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a lieutenant general, a Qinghe Cui family, a Jingzhao Wei family, who are they? ! How dare they let my retainers and servants suffer such a great injustice? ! "When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth: "This time, I will teach them to clearly realize one thing, there are some people they can't afford to offend, and there are some things they shouldn't do! Dare to cross the line, and you will face life and death!"
