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

The battle for the Goguryeo capital ended with a great victory for His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

After he sent Gao Jianwu away, the latter's body was found in a ditch somewhere in the royal capital the next day. His face was unrecognizable and his death was miserable.

But His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu obviously doesn't care about these.

"Your Highness, where are we going now?" - On a certain official road in Goguryeo, Wang Hanzhang looked at His Highness the King of Chu, who was dressed in casual clothes, and asked curiously: "From your attitude, it seems that you don't plan to continue killing people?"

"This is just the beginning." His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "You all know me. I am a person--"

"——Your Highness, just tell me who you are going to kill next." After knowing the true strength of the little Taoist priest, Yuwen Qing was now very arrogant: "I will capture that person alive and bring him to you for your decision."

"I plan to go see the Queen of Silla," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew that the fleet responsible for taking him back to the Tang Dynasty was still in preparation, and he was too lazy to fight his way back to Yingzhou, so he planned to go see the Queen of Silla who "embroidered love letters with bellybands and used love letters as letters of state" - in the previous battle, because of Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Zhenxuan, they avoided greater casualties, so now His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu believed that unless they were besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops and in the wilderness, there would be no danger for them at all.

That being the case, what are you waiting for?

Now that I'm here, I should at least meet Queen Seondeok, who loves her own tyrant king, right?

"Go to Silla?" Wang Xuance's face changed when he heard this: "Your Highness, Silla is on good terms with the Tang Dynasty..."

"So, now is the time to test them." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said more confidently, "It's impossible for everyone to get along well with each other at ordinary times and then pretend to be unfamiliar when something really happens, right?"

“Your Highness, you understand the art of 'diverting trouble to others'…” Wang Xuance knew that he could no longer stop His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu - this old man simply wanted to put some pressure on Silla, so that the other party would follow the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly from now on. After all, no matter how arbitrary Quan Gaisuwen was, he could not suppress the boiling public opinion in Goguryeo - even the old man weaving straw sandals on the roadside knew that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu of the Tang Dynasty who killed their King Rongliu. So after Quan Gaisuwen, this Mo Zhili, took office, he could not remain indifferent to Silla's act of taking in His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.

After he put pressure on her, the Queen of Silla would naturally feel panic, and in fear, she could only follow the Tang Dynasty more closely.

This is politics.

This is Yang Conspiracy.

"Your Highness the King of Chu, what if the Queen of Silla refuses to take us in?" At the critical moment, someone who was going to spoil the fun arrived - it must be said that Gangzi had become more outspoken since he revealed part of his strength.

"Then we will go south and capture Qingzhou, and then defend the city and wait for the Tang Dynasty fleet to pick us up." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at Yuan Tiangang and said with a smile: "Gangzi, you don't think that I really don't have any plans, do you?"

“That’s not possible…” Yuan Tiangang had already seen Zhang Zhenxuan start to move his wrist from the corner of his eye, so he immediately became more respectful when speaking: “I just… I feel that Your Highness the Prince of Chu likes to improvise too much… It’s difficult to firmly implement the established rules…”

"Warfare is the art of deception." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this. "Things in this world are unpredictable, and the battlefield is even more so. The plan made yesterday may not be applicable to the situation that has changed today, so we must always make other plans, so that we can be invincible to the greatest extent."

“Your Highness, I’ve learned your lesson.” Wang Hanzhang now finally understood why his grandfather wanted him to follow His Highness the Prince of Chu wholeheartedly—he was indeed a tough guy who had single-handedly defeated a group of aristocratic family heads in the past…

"You are being taught all day long. Are you planning to 'learn from the barbarians to defeat them'?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Wang Hanzhang suspiciously. "These are actually the principles in military books. They are very simple. Why do you all seem to be hearing them for the first time? What's the matter? After all this fuss, I am the only one who has read The Art of War, and you are the ones who have never read books?"

"Brother Kuan..." Pei Chengxian just came from the rear at this moment, intending to report their current location to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. However, after listening to the arrogant speech of this old man, he really couldn't hold back: "When you say this... have you ever thought about who wrote 'po xiang' as 'po bu' when he entered the academy, and finally got so angry that he beat Fang Yiai, who laughed the loudest, until he cried, and then was really beaten into a 'po bu' by His Majesty..."

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu forgot that his dark history was well known to his brothers.

So... um... if I... really become the emperor in the future, I will have to find someone who is not familiar with me to take the position of historian.

This is the only way to preserve the little good reputation that this king has left...

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

Half a month later, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his entourage arrived in Silla and were "warmly welcomed" by the Queen of Silla and all the officials, Chang'an also received news of the good things this uncle had done in the capital of Goguryeo.

"Gao Jianwu... was chopped off by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?!" - At the grand court meeting, after Cheng Yaojin heard the news reported by Tang Jian, he was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud: "Great...Great! His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is really amazing, and my son Chumo must have made a contribution this time..."

“Ahem…” Seeing his good brother getting carried away, Qin Qiong, whose own son had also made contributions, could not help but cough a few times, reminding him to be more restrained. Didn’t he see the expression on His Majesty’s face at the moment? No matter how you look at it… he doesn’t look happy…

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already gone to Silla. I am worried..." As the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian has never given up on a certain Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple who has been absent from work for a long time. This "crazy subordinate" of his has done too many earth-shaking events, so Tang Jian now has no idea how His Majesty will react to this.

After all, times are different now...

This powerful father and son have not yet reached a reconciliation...
