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

"..." At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu just turned around and glanced at his foolish father who was reviewing memorials at his desk again.

All right... tyrant... fun... fun...

This imperial trick is really well played...

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

The next day, after having lunch with his brothers and sisters, His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked Li Tai to look after Zhinu for him, and handed the well-fed Sizi to his sister Changle. Then, he came to the Taiji Hall in a swaggering manner according to his father's "request".

But who would have thought that before he even arrived at the Taiji Hall, he heard a thunderous roar from the hall: "Gao Shilian, have you gone mad? Why are you revising the "Clan Records"? Why, do you still think that my surname Li is only worthy of being ranked fourth? I am curious, the royal family that sits on the throne and the meritorious officials who have conquered the world cannot have a good ranking in this "Clan Records", then what do those surnames ranked first and second want? Are they openly intending to rebel?!"

"Your Majesty... I was just under some pressure..." Gao Shilian originally thought that Emperor Li II would give him some face for the sake of Empress Changsun, but when he wrote to the emperor about this matter, the emperor's reply was very gentle. But when he entered the palace and began to discuss the details with the emperor, the emperor became angry.

"Uncle?" Just as Gao Shilian was still nervously thinking about how to resolve the current difficulties, His Royal Highness the King of Chu poked his head out from the door of the palace: "What's wrong with you? Why did my father get so angry at you for no reason... And father, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but uncle is still an elder..."

"I am discussing state affairs with Lord Gao now!" Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II glanced at his son and said, "Why don't you get in?!"

"..." If His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had not seen his uncle present, he would have fought back no matter what.

But at this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Chu put on a well-behaved attitude, lowered his head and walked into the hall.

"Your Highness the King of Chu..." The moment Gao Shilian saw the King of Chu, he knew what Emperor Li II was thinking: he was planning to use Li Kuan to teach him a lesson, and at the same time, he was also intending to use this matter to train Li Kuan.

But... why did His Majesty suddenly want to train the King of Chu...

Gao Shilian pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed.

This matter is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully, and there may be serious consequences!

"Gao Shilian, briefly repeat to this kid what you just said to me!" Emperor Li II said and turned to his seat.

"Yes!" Gao Shilian responded respectfully, then turned to Li Kuan and said, "Your Highness, the King of Chu, this is what happened..."

In the following time, Gao Shilian spent almost a quarter of an hour to explain the reason why he suddenly planned to revise the "Clan Records" - in fact, it was very simple to summarize. Avoiding those legitimate reasons, Gao Shilian actually conveyed one meaning: because the second edition of the "Clan Records" he revised was too "unfair", the pressure from the outside world on him was increasing day by day, and he is now old, and most of the younger generations in his family are mediocre in qualifications. Looking at this situation, if he passes away one day, his Gao family will begin to decline.

So in view of all the above, Gao Shilian actually did not want to leave too much trouble for his descendants, so he decided to revise the "Clan Records" and planned to change the ranking back to the first edition: that is, the Cui family is first among the five surnames and seven families, and as for the Li family... well, fourth is not appropriate, so it's fine to tie for first place, right?

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could be happy this way?

"Uncle, leave this matter to me!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu obviously misunderstood his father's intention of asking him to come today, but it didn't matter! He felt that his life had been too dull recently, so it was a good opportunity to find something to do - besides, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was not stupid. Combined with the previous incident with Mu Asi, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew that this was the Five Surnames and Seven Families conveying some kind of message to him.

No wonder… No wonder those bastards suddenly became bolder.

So you want to have it all - first use the incident of Muas to make me hesitate, and then let Gao Shilian take action. And my father, the incompetent king, also knows that the situation is tricky, so he simply borrows my name to do it?

how to say……

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's analysis...sometimes it's really unnecessary.

"Kuan'er, you can't do this!" As a father, Emperor Li II knows his eldest son too well. This brat must have misunderstood his intention of calling him here yesterday.

But... right now, he actually still knows how to share my worries...

Not bad... this child has finally grown up...

"Why can't I come?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu stiffened his neck when he heard this: "It's just right, I have already had an opinion about the ranking above!"

"Your Highness, do you have any objections? And 'long ago'?!" Gao Shilian originally didn't want to say anything more, but now... he realized that if this matter was not handled properly, it might backfire.

"Yes," His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded upon hearing this, and then continued, "In my opinion, the first place in this "Clan Records" should be the Fufeng Dou Clan! At worst, let my grandmother open a separate page and directly list the Longyou Dou Clan!"

"..." As the saying goes, "The King of Chu's words are too biased" - as His Royal Highness the King of Chu made these long-planned remarks, the hall suddenly became silent.

"Your Highness...very smart!" Gao Shilian felt that this matter was bound to go wrong again, but it seemed that he could distance himself from it.

"Kuan'er..." His Majesty Li II knew how much Li Kuan respected his grandmother, but he didn't expect that this respect would rise to such a height: "Your grandmother would definitely feel very pleased that you have such a heart. But... after all, the current Fufeng Dou family is the branch separated by your grandmother, and the original family..."

"What's wrong with our family?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew what his father was going to say: "The inheritance of our family cannot be broken! I have already thought about it. My eldest son must have the surname Dou, and be called Dou Nianzu!"

"Cough cough cough..." As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, Gao Shilian on the side was so scared that he coughed violently for a while.

No... His Royal Highness Prince Chu's child... is real...

"You!" After hearing his son's words, Emperor Li II was so angry that his eyes went dark: "Okay, okay... you little brat has your own ideas... Dad... I can't advise you, but there is one thing, about your eldest son's surname, it's not your turn to decide!"

"Dad, are you kidding me?! I can't decide what surname my own child should have?!" When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw his father starting to become strong, he immediately got angry: "I will give him the surname Dou! I want those bastards who secretly make fun of my grandmother for her whole life, and their sons and grandsons, to see the glory of my grandmother's lineage from now on, for generations to come!"
