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

"Old Heavenly Master... I can't come back for a while..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu never lied in front of the old Heavenly Master. Of course, there was no need to do so: "My elder brother still needs me to make some achievements so that his behavior of taking the initiative this time will not be criticized... Besides... I feel uncomfortable coming back now and staring at that tyrant in the palace..."

"That's the truth..." The old Taoist nodded, but then felt something was wrong: "But Your Highness, you can just stay in Songzhou for a while. Fighting the Shiwei people... Although it's a bit like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, it's still a merit... It's also justifiable... Why do you have to go to Goguryeo?"

"Old Heavenly Master, I want to rebel." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu found that he still couldn't be too tactful: "You know me, this time... If it weren't for the people of the Tang Dynasty, as well as my mother, elder brother, younger brothers and sisters... I would definitely let that tyrant know how good I am at fighting... Humph... But..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, and changed his previous arrogance: "The strong should always take the survival of the weak as the bottom line - although this truth is somewhat unfamiliar to you when I say it, but I really think so - as the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, I cannot be a traitor to the Tang Dynasty, but if I change my identity and go to Goguryeo to start an uprising, it will be different..."

"..." The old Taoist priest looked at the man in black in front of him. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly: "Your Highness, you are still good at playing..."

"Old Heavenly Master, why do you have so many witty remarks recently?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was relieved when he saw that he had convinced his own worshiper. "But speaking of which, Old Heavenly Master, I am meeting you in this way, so you can't vomit blood again..."

“Who said that?!” Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had found a loophole, the old Taoist priest, who was afraid of being entangled by some unlucky child, became anxious on the spot: “I have only suppressed the injury temporarily. When I leave the palace later, I have to find a secluded place to vomit for a while!”

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was helpless with this old man: "Come on, come on... It's my fault..."

The old Taoist priest did not speak immediately after hearing this. He only looked up at the moonlight above his head, and then said, "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, do you feel that you miscalculated earlier and did not let these black-clad warriors who were placed beside His Majesty Li II eavesdrop on his conversation with his ministers, thus losing the initiative. As a result, Dou Shilun was almost in danger, so you feel a little guilty?"

“Old Taoist Priest… I am thousands of miles away from you… You are a little scary…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not expect that the Old Taoist Priest could be so powerful.

"These are just my guesses." The old Taoist priest found that there was a young master who was very good at guessing, which was not a bad thing. "Your Highness, your original intention of sending the black-clad warriors was just to protect your family. If you let them go to monitor in order to prevent the problem from happening, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? It goes against your original intention. In a person's life, many times he will feel regret after some bad things happen, and think that he should have done something before to avoid this situation.

In fact, this is a very stupid behavior. Because we can't do something that breaks the bottom line first in order to prevent a bad thing that hasn't happened yet - your father made this mistake, but your Highness the King of Chu didn't. So your Highness, in this regard, you are actually much better than that tyrant. "

"Wow..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not expect that the old Taoist priest would actually say such a thing to him. Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was not a proud person: "Old Taoist priest, next time, don't tell me such truths in private. From now on...when we talk about these topics, try to find a place with many people..."

"But what if that tyrant holds a grudge and causes trouble for me?" The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Then I will definitely help the old Heavenly Master." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately expressed his position: "Old Heavenly Master, wait a minute. After I come back from Goguryeo this time, I will go to Hongyi Palace to cry to my grandfather. After that, I will bring Yan Shu to cry at Xianling. By the way, my fellow apprentice brother... forget it... Isn't my fellow apprentice Chu Suiliang compiling the daily records for that tyrant? I will take him with me later. It is said that historians write according to facts. If he dares to use the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals, I will let Master Yu expel him from the school..."

As Yu Shinan's "closed disciple", His Royal Highness the King of Chu believes that he is qualified to exclude any of Master Yu's disciples.

The old Taoist priest looked at the Prince of Chu who was talking eloquently. For some reason, he felt quite relieved: "Okay, then from now on... I will only speak this in places where there are many people!"

"Ah!" Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that the old man was just trying to coax him, he was still happy: "The old Taoist priest still understands me. Well, I will add chicken legs to Zhenxuan's meal tomorrow! No, lamb legs! And lamb kidneys!"

“Your Highness, I feel relieved that Zhenxuan is by your side. However…” When the old Taoist priest saw His Highness the Prince of Chu mentioned his great-grandson, he thought for a moment and decided to give His Highness a reminder: “When you talk to him, don’t be too casual like you talk to me. Although the child is easy-going most of the time, he is actually very stubborn in his bones. If one day he thinks that some of the words you blurt out are out of some kind of unwillingness to succumb to the secular world, then he may very well…”

“Old Heavenly Master…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that the other party really didn’t understand his great-grandson: “Zhenxuan is different from Yuwen Qing. He listens to advice, while Yuwen Qing… well… he listens to advice more… but… ah… Old Heavenly Master, Yuwen Qing is my tiger maniac after all, so I still can’t say anything hurtful…”

As for Yuwen Qing...it's not a question of whether to listen to advice or not, it's...a question of personal understanding ability.

Just like Jiang Sheng at the beginning, when His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that people could not be attacked, this guy turned around and went to find a spear to stab to death Li Daozon and Li Ji, who were trying to compete with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu at that time.

In fact... As Hu Chi and E Lai under the command of His Majesty the King of Chu, their style of doing things has always been honest and simple and with a sense of black humor as the "reckless retainers" of His Majesty the King of Chu.

"I think what you say now will be very hurtful to Yuwen Qing if he hears it later." The old Taoist priest knew that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not in a good mood at the moment, but the other party did not want to make him worry, so he tried hard to act as unremarkable as before.

but……

The more the other party acted like this, the more worried he became, and after the worry, he felt heartbroken.

If the old lady knew this in the afterlife, she would be so distressed to see her most beloved grandson who had clearly suffered a great injustice, but was still so careful to take care of the emotions of those around him...
