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

"Your Majesty! You are confused!" - When Zhangsun Wuji stood in front of him with a look of regret on his face, accusing him of being confused, Emperor Li II's already terrible mood finally reached its peak.

“Wuji, even you think I’m wrong?” — In Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li II, who had missed several morning court sessions in a row due to his bad mood, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the other party with a gloomy expression: “I’m just eliminating some hidden dangers. I will compensate Kuan’er…”

"Your Majesty, I have no doubt that you have great love and expectations for His Highness the Prince of Chu..." Changsun Wuji paused for a moment before continuing, "But Your Majesty, do you know that by doing this, it is not just His Highness the Prince of Chu who is hurt?"

"Bang!" - His Majesty Li Er, who had a poor appetite to begin with, smashed the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground when he heard what Zhangsun Wuji said: "I am the emperor! What I need to consider is far more important than whether I am disappointed or not!"

"Alas..." Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Changsun Wuji could not help but sighed to the sky, "Your Majesty... Kuan'er can't possibly rebel... There's no way he can rebel..."

"Wuji, I never thought of rebelling at the beginning!" Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II looked at Zhangsun Wuji deeply and said, "But things don't go as planned, and I was eventually forced to take that path..."

"Cheng Qian is not Li Jiancheng, and Kuan Er is not His Majesty." Seeing that His Majesty Li II had begun to get stuck in a rut, the calm and steady Changsun Wuji finally took the rare risk and said, "Qing Que... is definitely not that filthy villain Li Yuanji!"

"That's because they haven't grown up yet!" His Majesty Li II felt a lot of pain in his heart at this moment: "What should I do to satisfy everyone? As a party involved and a witness... who understands the pain of brothers fighting better than me? Wuji... I am not wrong!"

"Your Majesty, do you really want to make things worse?" Changsun Wuji knew that he could not convince the other party, but he still wanted to help his two nephews: "I heard that you locked Cheng Qian in Zongzheng Temple, but Your Majesty, do you know that Gu Lianzhi's son has written three letters in a row, saying that his father died of a serious illness... I know that you don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be deposed..."

"Wait a minute." His Majesty Li II did not expect that someone would dare to threaten Gu Lianzhi's family behind his back: "Who threatened Gu Lianzhi's family?"

"The son-in-law of the emperor, Commandant Chai Shao, has been visiting ministers in the court these days. Every time he returns home, he deliberately passes by Gu Lianzhi's mansion in Chang'an. Your Majesty, what do you think Gu Lianzhi's son would think?" Changsun Wuji really didn't intend to report Chai Shao - in fact, this was a deliberate request made by Chai Shao when he visited him yesterday.

Although Changsun Wuji didn't know what Chai Shao was thinking, he had to admit one thing anyway - Chai Shao, the uncle, really helped his nephew, the Prince of Chu, when he was in trouble...

"Heh... Sichang..." When His Majesty Li II heard Chai Shao's name, he was not surprised, but... the anger that was about to burst out in his heart was swallowed back by him: "Let him be..."

"Then your majesty...what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" In fact, the reason why Changsun Wuji tried to persuade His Majesty Li II to let the crown prince go in a roundabout way was not only to consolidate the position of the Changsun family - in fact, even the bunch of young people in the Censorate in the court saw it clearly - once the crown prince Li Chengqian was deposed, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would really go crazy.

No one wants to experience what kind of momentum it would be if His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was able to sweep across the northwest a few years ago, rebelled again.

Anyway... none of the generals in the court want to go against His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Because in their opinion, the fault in this matter lies with His Majesty - to put it in a very disrespectful way, even if His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu really rebelled, His Majesty deserved it.

"I will make Cheng Qian remember this lesson." Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said, "Wuji, I am not crazy yet."

"I think it's almost done..." After getting a definite answer, Changsun Wuji, who finally felt relieved, touched his nose. Then he became so proud of himself that he spoke out his true feelings in front of Emperor Li II.

"You..." Emperor Li II, thinking of the years of friendship between the two, simply picked up the steamed sea bass in front of him that had not been touched and threw it directly at Changsun Wuji's face.

"Erlang..." Zhangsun Wuji was a little confused when the perch hit his face: "You are more or less tolerant now..."

"Hong San, close the door!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Li Er stood up and decided to close the door and practice with Changsun Wuji today.

Anyway, this kind of situation happened quite often when they were still a nuisance in Taiyuan.

"Your Majesty... You have ordered Chief Steward Hong to be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice..." Zhang Nan, who was guarding the door at this time, hesitated for a moment after hearing the order from His Majesty Li Er. Then he went into the hall and began to remind the other party of a cruel reality: Hong San... I'm afraid he will never come back to you again.

"..." His Majesty Li II had an indescribable feeling of sadness at the moment.

"Alas..." Zhang Sun Wuji lowered his head and shifted his gaze to the perch on the ground: "A good thing is wasted like this... What a pity..."

"..." Knowing that his elder brother-in-law was being sarcastic to him, His Majesty Li Er could only endure it...

But I couldn't help it.

"Bang!" - Because of too many troubles in the past few days, Emperor Li II, who was "unhappy" all day long, finally rewarded the "outspoken" Changsun Wuji with a big slap.

"Ouch..." Zhang Sun Wuji groaned on the ground for a long time before he slowly got up: "Erlang... your temper is getting worse and worse..."

"I can't even go to the harem now." After a brief venting, His Majesty Li II felt a little better, so he poured out his grievances to Zhangsun Wuji: "The retired emperor said he wanted to quit drinking, but every time he came to Taiji Hall, he was drunk... When my son and I met, I, as the son, didn't even have time to open my mouth before his belt came to my face... And Changle Qingque and the others... began to distance themselves from me... Even Sizi now knows that I am the 'bad father' who won't let her second brother return home..."

"..." Zhang Sun Wuji listened to His Majesty Li Er telling him about his tragic experience. He should have sympathized with him, but... somehow, at this moment, only the four words "laughable" floated slowly through his mind...
