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

"Brother Quan," Quan Gaisuwen saw that the other party had seen through his original plan, so he stopped hiding it: "The King of Chu must be alive. If he is alive, the bloody incident that happened in my Yuan Mansion today can be blamed on him. What's more... it's one thing for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to be suspicious of his own son, but if his son died in Goguryeo... that's another matter - Brother Jiushan, do you understand what I mean!"

"But now that Brother Tai has been rescued, will he sit back and watch us throw the blame on the King of Chu?" Quan Jiushan hated the Taoist who had disrupted the situation - this bad guy had saved one of their most difficult political enemies.

"Leave this to me, you don't have to worry about it." Quan Gaisuwen's murderous intent had already boiled over, but he still tried his best to suppress the impulse, and said to Quan Jiushan in a calm tone: "If we want them to put aside their hatred and cooperate with us, we just have to compromise first. Old Liu Shunji also knows that if he insists on continuing to fight with us after Gao Jianwu's death, he will be a sinner in the history books of the future. This is a crime that our elder brother, who has always been good at reputation, cannot bear, nor is he willing to bear."

"Brother Su Wen...you are truly amazing..." Quan Jiushan's praise was a little dry, but it was all from the heart.

He believed that he did not have the strong psychological endurance of Quan Gai Su Wen - his biological father died in front of him, and his only biological brother was kidnapped, but Brother Su Wen was able to make the most appropriate response to the ever-changing situation in the shortest possible time...

Thinking of this, Quan Jiushan couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart: Lord Liu and his men did not deserve to lose. Even if there hadn't been today's birthday banquet, those court officials who only knew how to rely on the monarch's support and bark at the Yuan family, and who were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, would still have suffered the same fate.

"Brother Quan, I don't want to hear these meaningless compliments." The reason why Quan Gaisuwen patiently explained these to Quan Jiushan was to make the other party work for him more wholeheartedly: "I'll trouble you to pass on the message to Cang Min. I also need to gather people and find a way to save Jingtu - he is not only my biological brother, but also the future son-in-law of King Gao Zang..."

Quan Gaisuwen only said this and then turned and left.

But Quan Jiushan understood.

Yuan Jingtu really cannot afford any mistakes. His safety is not only important to the Yuan family. This person is the bond between the interests of King Gozang and the Yuan family. When King Gozang ascends to the throne in the future, Yuan Jingtu, the consort, is the key to ensuring that Quan Gaisuwen can gain the trust of King Gozang. At least on the surface, if Quan Gaisuwen can continue to serve as the Great Dulu of Goguryeo, then ministers like Quan Jiushan who have placed their bets on Quan Gaisuwen can get the greatest benefits.

So... when Liu Shunji asked Yuan Tiangang to kidnap Yuan Jingtu, it was not just a simple "expression of gratitude".

That old fox always has the ability to pinpoint the key points of things and attack where the enemy needs to go.

Of course, with Quan Jiushan's perspective, this is the limit of the level at which he can look at things.

As the future "Mozhili (an official position similar to Da Duilu, but with greater power)" of Goguryeo, Quan Gaisumun had a more far-sighted vision.

There are two other reasons why Liu Shunji did this: first, he wanted to use this to buy himself some precious time to see if he could find an opportunity to counterattack; second, he wanted to leave a way out for himself in advance: in case he failed, Quan Gaisuwen might be able to recruit him because he, the elder brother, was not "old and useless" and because it was necessary to stabilize the domestic situation.

By then, Liu Shunji would naturally be able to "reluctantly do it" and "serve the thief"...

Live... Only by living can there be a future... Only by having a future can there be a turning point.

So it’s not shabby, not shabby at all…

What's more, even in early June in Goguryeo, the river water was actually quite cold...

“Liu Shunji, you bastard…” Quan Gaisuwen walked through the corridor of Yuan Mansion with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Years of court struggles made Quan Gaisuwen deeply realize what kind of person his elder brother Liu Shunji was - he obviously did not have the courage to stick to his integrity and die for loyalty, but asking him to voluntarily surrender to the Yuan family... Old Master Liu was too embarrassed to do so.

This is a hypocrite who is extremely awkward, and his disgusting level is even more than that of Quan Gaisu Wen, the real villain.

But none of this matters anymore...

As long as it allows him to take charge of the overall situation, Quan Gaisuwen is willing to give Liu Shunji such a way out.

My father is dead... and to let him rest in peace.

As the head of the Yuan family, I naturally have to do everything I can to make the Yuan family move to a higher level.

"Your Highness, are those imperial guards crazy?" Inside the palace, Yuwen Qing stood in front of the palace gate, listening to the deafening shouts and arrows flying over the wall from time to time. He subconsciously moved his hands and shoulders: "Haven't they heard of your reputation?"

"Can that be eaten?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu glared at his own funny retainer. Then he thought about it and decided to come up with a heaven-defying trick to "pay tribute" to his deceased uncle: "Yuwen Qing, let's do this. Later, you will hold the fake's head in your hand, ride out of the palace on your horse, and tell those fearless idiots that you have asked them to chop off their king!"

"Your Highness..." Yuwen Qing sniffed after hearing this: "You can bully me for not having read much, but you can't bully me for not being a native of Chang'an... You asked me to do this... Isn't it just asking me to learn from that Duke of E, Yuchi Gong..."

"Oh! What are you talking about?!" His Highness the King of Chu did not expect that his "conspiracy" would be discovered so quickly by his own Tiger Maniac: "I am the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty. Now I am chopping off the head of the King of Goguryeo. Don't put yourself in my shoes, or I will go to the Dali Temple to sue you for defamation!"

"..." Yuwen Qing frowned and thought for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay... Your Highness, it seems that what you said... is not wrong..."

"Of course! You are the one who is imagining things." His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his chin and pointed forward: "I will have someone use a powerful crossbow to clear a space for Zhenxuan... Hey? Zhenxuan?! What are you laughing at again?!"

"Reply... Reply Your Highness..." After Wang Xuance's explanation, Zhang Zhenxuan already understood the details of the job that His Highness the Prince of Chu had done before: "I just thought of something happy..."
