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

"..." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to act arrogantly and unreasonable, even someone as eloquent as Wei Zheng was unwilling to challenge him.

Therefore, Wei Zheng, seeing this situation, simply chose to turn a blind eye to a certain barbarian, and then cast his eyes on the Crown Prince, who he thought "could still be saved": "Your Highness, can you go back and persuade His Majesty to temporarily postpone the suppression of bandits in Hebei Province... After all, the government is in a tight financial situation right now, and it is almost time for spring ploughing. However, if a large army is dispatched, it will inevitably disturb the people along the way, and even shake their hearts - after all, the people in most parts of Hebei Province are still living a life of hunger. If they learn that the horse bandits in Taihang Mountains have become large-scale, then things will likely become more difficult!"

"——Wei Zheng, was I too gentle to you in the past?!" Before Wei Zheng could finish his words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was furious: "You are a traitor in the court, a thief who stole the country! How dare you plot against my elder brother in front of me for the sake of the five surnames and seven families?! Are you tired of living?!"

After His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, he immediately planned to rush up and give the other party a "Chang'an Big Grip" along with a set of "Prince of Chu Style Wing Chun"!

To be honest, this time it’s not that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has a bad temper, but that Wei Zheng really lacks the temper of a human being.

"Brother Kuan! No!" Although the Crown Prince had come to his senses after his brother spoke and knew the intention of Wei Zheng's visit, he could not watch his brother make a mistake, so he blocked his brother behind him and said to Wei Zheng, "Duke Wei, hurry up and leave!"

"Your Highness, what I said this time is from my sincere heart, please understand!" When Wei Zheng saw the King of Chu approaching, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he bowed to the ground: "I hope Your Highness, considering that the people of our Tang Dynasty are still suffering from hunger and cold, can persuade Your Majesty to regain reason - if the farming season is delayed, it will be easy for the officials to force the people to rebel, and once the officials force the people to rebel, won't it be the wish of Shan Tianchang?"

"..." It's true that His Royal Highness is an honest man, but being an honest man doesn't mean being a fool: Wei Zheng has come up with a pretext to stop him, and he doesn't consider the actual situation at all. But this man is his father's minister, not his, Li Chengqian's. So His Royal Highness thought about it for a long time, and then gave the other party an ambiguous reply: "I know, Duke Zheng, please go back!"

At this moment, anyone could hear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already beginning to get angry with Wei Zheng.

But Wei Zheng pretended not to understand: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince. Shouldn't the crown prince save the people from disaster?"

"——I don't know whether the crown prince can save the people from disaster, but I know that if you dare to say one more word, Wei Zheng, even my father can't save you!"

This was the first time that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had actual murderous intent towards Wei Zheng.

And Wei Zheng...

The moment the King of Chu finished speaking, he felt his heart beating wildly.

The look in the King of Chu's eyes just now told him that the other party was not joking!

"Your Majesty, I am not a coward." Wei Zheng was, after all, an old minister who had experienced many hardships. So even though His Majesty the King of Chu had said such harsh words, he still chose to push back with dignity: "Besides, if a... 'wise king' like you killed me, it would be a good story thousands of years later."

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that his brain had been confused by the top-level crazy Duke Zheng: "No... It's true that my beauty is flawless, but why can you, Wei Zheng, be compared with me? What's the matter, do you, Wei Zheng, want to be remembered for eternity? For this, you even don't hesitate to use my fame?! But you just want to use it... Oh? Could it be that... you have always admired my virtue?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's thoughts were stepping on the banana peel, and he said whatever he thought of. At this moment, he started to chatter and entertain himself, opening the mode of a talkative and self-entertaining person.

"..." At this moment, Wei Zheng always felt that he heard His Royal Highness the King of Chu scolding him, but he couldn't be completely sure.

No...wait...

This... We were originally chatting happily, why did the topic suddenly go off topic? !

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was standing by, also realized that something was wrong.

In this battle, the time left for the loser... oh, it seems that the loser has no time...

Duke Wei, please take care of yourself...

He didn't know how to break the deadlock...

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu, I know it is inappropriate for me to come to His Highness the Crown Prince for help today, but I am also forced to do so..." Wei Zheng thought for a long time and knew that His Highness, the Prince of Chu, was such a stubborn donkey that he could only be treated with kindness. Otherwise, once he got angry and became a ferocious tiger, it would be even more difficult to resolve the situation. "The banditry in Taihang Mountain might have been a trap! Although I don't have definite evidence, I can guess what those people are planning to do..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Duke Wei, you are not with that group of nobles in Shandong..."

"Everything I have done is for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty. From the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the ninth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, China has experienced more than four hundred years of turmoil.

Although the Sui Dynasty ended the conflict, a tyrant like Yang Guang emerged later... That's why the Tang Dynasty came into being. I hope the Tang Dynasty will not follow the old path of the Sui Dynasty, so sometimes it is inevitable to make some appropriate compromises..." Wei Zheng also had his own difficulties.

"Brother, do you feel that Duke Zheng is secretly scolding me?" - It's not that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is sensitive, nor that he doesn't want to get to the point, but when this old man Wei Zheng talked about Yang Guang, his eyes unconsciously glanced at our His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

It was this look that broke the defense of His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "This guy is just scolding me!"

“Brother Kuan… stop making trouble!” His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still too simple and honest. Wei Zheng’s words had touched him. “Lord Wei, please don’t take the previous incident to heart. I’d like to apologize to you on behalf of my brother Kuan…”

"Oh! You stupid brother! Why do you believe everything others say?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu never expected that his silly brother would apologize to Wei Zheng so sweetly!

No... Have you forgotten that this old man came here to plot against you? !

If I hadn't been here, wouldn't you have been used as a pawn by Wei Zheng?

Wow... This King is really...

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was filled with mixed feelings, suddenly realized one thing - the reason why his incompetent father was so anxious to give birth to Sizi and Zhinu with his mother was probably because he thought, "The Crown Prince is stupid, so the Queen and I should prepare for a rainy day."

After many years, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly realized the "truth" and couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment - as expected, that tyrant king was really cunning...
