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

“Your Highness…” Wang Xuance originally wanted to say to the sad Prince of Chu, “His Majesty was originally your father.” But when the words came to his lips, they turned into: “No matter what Your Highness plans to do in the future, I will always stand by your side and will never regret it!”

“You kid…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly when he heard this: “Everyone knows that I am the most virtuous king in the Tang Dynasty.”

"Wise...king?" - Wang Xuance was possessed by Yuwen Qing this time.

"Get lost!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was immediately amused upon hearing this: "My fame has been ruined by a bunch of young and ignorant retainers like you!"

"Your Highness, you are quite rigorous," Wang Xuance chuckled upon hearing this, "You even knew to skip Lord Dou and the others."

"I am telling the truth." His Royal Highness the King of Chu curled his lips upon hearing this. "But then again, Xuan Ce, if one day everyone wants me to... but I still don't want to... then how will you view me then?"

"Your Highness, let's talk about the future later." Wang Xuance didn't expect His Highness the King of Chu to suddenly ask him such a serious question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness, although it is a good thing to plan ahead, you really shouldn't think about these things now. I am here. If there are any changes in the future, I will help you solve the problems. You don't need to worry about these things."

"Xuan Ce, I have actually asked Zhang Zhenxuan this question privately. Do you know how he answered me?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who understood the meaning of Wang Xuance's words, was quite moved at this moment: "He said that as long as he is here, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do."

“I think so too.” Wang Xuance thought of the thunder by the stream that day. He felt that the young celestial master was still too conservative. “So, Your Highness, with the two of us here, you will never face those problems alone from now on.”

"..." After Wang Xuance finished speaking, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "In fact, I have never faced anything alone. When I was young, I had my grandmother. When I was older, I had Uncle Dou. Now I have you and Zhenxuan. Well... I am a blessed king. Therefore, I should not worry about things that are unattainable. Life is short and wonderful. After this war, I should spend some time with Changle, Lanling Sizi, Lian'er and others and live a peaceful life..."

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

Everyone wants to live a peaceful life, such as Goguryeo King Go Geonmu. Apart from working hard in the harem every day, he and his ministers are busy thinking about how to get rid of Quan Gaisuwen, the potential powerful official.

"Yeon Gaesomun wants to celebrate Yeon Taejo's birthday?" In the palace, Gao Jianwu, who had just enjoyed the tenderness of the land of gentlemen and then was asked to see the ministers, was now sitting on his throne. Looking at the ministers below, his brows twisted unconsciously into the shape of a "川" character: "What does this cunning fox want to do now?"

"Your Majesty, he sent invitations to all the ministers in the court, saying that he sincerely invites you to celebrate his father's birthday..." In response to Gao Jianwu's doubts, an old minister immediately gave his opinion: "In my opinion, he did this to show the prestige of their Yuan, and secondly to test whether Your Majesty has already planned to break up with him. After all, if my troops and I attend the birthday banquet, it will undoubtedly reflect Your Majesty's will from the side..."

"I (the King of Goguryeo used to call himself "I" or "I") just hate his conceited character. Why didn't the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty kill him?" Gao Jianwu rubbed his brows when he heard this. Although he cursed him, the fact was that now was not a good time to take action. So after thinking for a moment, Gao Jianwu decisively issued an order: "Don't the father and son want to save face for the family? Okay, I will satisfy him! This time, you can go to celebrate Yuan Taizuo's birthday. Haha... build a tall building... entertain guests... the building collapsed! Haha... what a wonderful show..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. When the time is right in the future..." Seeing Gao Jianwu's decision, the Taixiong (the name of a Goguryeo official) whose status was second only to Da Duilu immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we will definitely kill this beast for you!"

As the elder brother finished speaking, the elder brother (official title) and Yishishe (official title) standing behind him both bowed down and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, we are also willing to kill this beast for Your Majesty!"

"Haha... Great! Thank you for your hard work!" Gao Jianwu laughed at first, then he swept his eyes over the people in front of him. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I heard that the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty once made Yeon Gaesomun suffer a great loss. There are even rumors that... he is now a eunuch?"

"Your Majesty, the rumors are not to be believed." Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be harping on that trivial matter again, Taixiong could not help but speak up: "Yeon Gaesomun's character is so arrogant and conceited. How could he choose to live in disgrace after enduring such humiliation?"

“Not necessarily…” Gao Jianwu’s mind was filled with anger, except for Yeon Gaesomun’s sinister face. At the same time, another face appeared in his mind—it was his favorite concubine Fang Yun, who was wearing a pink dress and standing in front of him on the night she entered the palace, about to cry…

With this thought... Gao Jianwu's heart was once again aroused: "Forget it... I am too lazy to care about these things. My dear ministers, let's end today's meeting here."

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Gao Jianwu was about to end the meeting, Taixiong hurriedly said, "There is one more thing that I think it is necessary to let Your Majesty know."

"Oh? Lord Zhu, what do you want to report?" Gao Jianwu waited patiently for the old man's next words.

"There are rumors that the Tang King of Chu has already arrived in Yingzhou. I am worried that this demon will harm our Goguryeo."

"I don't have any important matters..." Gao Jianwu did not take the warning of his elder brother seriously at all: "A King of Chu who has lost the trust of the emperor, and now even handed over the army he brought with him... He has become a dog that has lost its home!

A stray dog ​​has no right to give me a headache!

Besides, Goguryeo is not a flat land like the Western Regions of the Turks. Not to mention that the border defenses are well built, the country is even more fortified. Just talking about the Tang Chu King who became famous because there were no heroes at that time, how many people can he mobilize now? Six hundred? Eight hundred? Three thousand? I'm afraid three thousand is his limit, right? But with such a small number of people... let alone breaking through the border, even if the king lets them in, what can they do? It's nothing more than being shut in and beaten, and ending up in the wind and snow..."
