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

Just when Xue Wanche was feeling ecstatic about openly revealing his identity as a retainer of the Dou family, at the same time, countless secret letters in Chang'an City began to fly to various places in Guanzhong like snowflakes. Of course, there were a few exceptions.

“Asshole! You asshole!” - In the palace, the retired emperor, who was tired of beating his son, panted and scolded his son who bowed his head in silence, while secretly planning to quit drinking from tomorrow: “Just wait for me, just wait for me! Today I am exhausted, but tomorrow... I will come again! You rebellious son!” The retired emperor said this and could not help but roar at Li Er again: “You think you are very smart, don’t you?! One day you will understand - all your schemes are just children’s tricks in front of your late mother! Li Shimin, when that day comes, I hope you will not regret it!”

"Father! I didn't do anything to Kuan'er... I just don't want him to--" After hearing that his father would come to Taiji Hall tomorrow to carry out "belt education" on him, His Majesty Li Er finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "I hope he--"

"Shut up!" The emperor rebuked his son coldly before he could finish his words: "What do you hope for Kuan'er? Do you hope that after he realizes your fear of him, he will consider your father-son relationship and retreat under the pressure of your imperial power? Do you know what kind of personality Kuan'er has?

When he first came to Chang'an, no one took him seriously. He dared to use your mother's hairpin to force Li Chengzong's gang to kneel down and kowtow in front of him to admit his mistakes. When your eldest brother was still the crown prince, he beat your seventh brother Li Yuanchang in the palace because Qingque was bullied. Li Shimin, would you dare to do it if you were in his place? ! —— Kuan'er is so unruly and loyal. The only thing that can restrain him in this world is emotion. But you..."

When Li Yuan said this, his face was already gray and defeated: "Li Shimin, I warn you, even if Kuan'er really rebels this time, you have the ability to suppress him, I admire you! But remember, if Kuan'er is punished for this matter, I will hit my head and die in my own bedroom! Hey... Yan Shu has been my attendant for so long, I think he is tired of it, but he should do his duty well in his last shift!

You take care of yourself! "

Only after the retired emperor had left did His Majesty Li II slowly turn around and look at the dragon throne that was sitting in the shadow at the top of the hall. At this moment, the four words "alone and helpless" were like a sudden cold snap in late spring, which made him shiver slightly.

"Am I really wrong..."

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

No one cares whether Emperor Li II is right or wrong.

But right now, in faraway Hebei Province, there is a person who urgently hopes that Emperor Li II can admit his mistakes.

"Your Highness the King of Chu, don't worry. When I go back this time, I will make a death-defying remonstrance to Your Majesty in front of all the ministers - I will definitely make Your Majesty take back your order, otherwise I will kill myself by hitting my head against the wall in the Taiji Hall!" After some questioning, Wei Zheng finally learned the truth from Wang Xuance. At this moment, he finally showed his demeanor as "Duke Wei".

“Duke Wei…” At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting in the lobby of the prefectural mansion, staring at the beams above his head in a daze, could not help but feel a little surprised after hearing Wei Zheng’s earnest words, even though he was currently depressed: “You have always been against me… And the bandits in Taihang Mountain all obey my orders… Speaking of which, it is indeed not something a qualified emperor can accept…”

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu..." Wei Zheng looked at the tired young prince in front of him, and he felt a little sad and angry in his heart: "Please don't think so. I am willing to guarantee with my own life that you will never do anything treasonous!"

"Yes, Your Highness the King of Chu..." Zhang Baoxiang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but persuade him, "You haven't made any preparations yet... It's so hasty... I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower..."

"Eh?!" Wei Zheng found that Zhang Baoxiang was a bastard, and he was very good at talking as soon as he opened his mouth: "Zhang Baoxiang? Do you want to listen to what you just said?!"

"What's wrong?!" Zhang Baoxian's eyes widened when he heard this: "I'm just being realistic!"

"You traitor..." Wei Zheng felt his head go numb.

"Old Wei, are you looking for a fight?!" As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Yuwen Qing, who had just arrived in Xingzhou City today, could not help but refute (curse): "You keep saying that you will use your head to guarantee my prince, and you have been making a fuss for a long time... You are waiting for my prince here, right? What's the matter? My prince deserves to be bullied like this?

You still don't allow him to resist? Why don't you allow him to resist? ! You use your head as a guarantee? What's the use of your head? ! Your head can make the tyrant in Chang'an realize his own problems? ——I tell you Wei Zheng! If this happened in the Western Regions, no one would intervene even if His Highness the King of Chu broke into the palace! That tyrant is forcing His Highness to rebel!"

"Say less!" Wang Xuance knew that whenever Yuwen Qing appeared beside His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he would be a typical rebel leader: "Duke Wei, this is a good intention!"

"I——" Yuwen Qing wanted to curse again after hearing this.

"Yuwen Qing, apologize to Duke Wei!" - When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, everyone present was shocked.

Of course, Yuwen Qing, who was the first to recover from his shock, bowed to Wei Zheng without saying anything and said, "Duke Wei, I was not polite to you before. Please don't take it seriously."

"..." Wei Zheng no longer had time to care about Yuwen Qing's sudden change of attitude. He now fixed his eyes firmly on His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Your Highness, you..."

"Don't worry, Duke Wei. I have no intention of rebelling." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu smiled first, then he paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "The trouble now is... my elder brother has personally killed Gu Lianzhi, who had just become the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, for my sake. That tyrant... my father is definitely planning to depose my elder brother from his position as the Crown Prince. What do you think I should do to save my elder brother?"

boom!

Perhaps the news thrown out by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was too shocking, even Dou Du, who had been sitting in the hall without saying a word, couldn't help but open his eyes wide at this moment.

"Your Highness, is this news true?" Dou Du still couldn't believe it. The prince could actually do this for Your Highness...

"Zao, I'm not in the mood to lie now." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu tapped the teacup beside him gently: "I've already said it before... My elder brother is extremely loyal to me..."

"Your Highness..." Wang Xuance didn't know what to think after hearing this. Logically speaking, he should be happy, but...

"I am not interested in that position." Perhaps realizing that the Dou family retainers such as Yuwen Qing in the hall were looking at him too eagerly, His Royal Highness the King of Chu simply stood up, looked around, and then slowly said: "My ambition is greater than all of you! - I may not be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but from the Western Regions to Goguryeo, from Pyu to Wadao - this vast territory must be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty during my lifetime! Otherwise, I will not rest in peace even after my death!"
