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

"Your Highness, my teacher is here!"

"Who?" His Highness the Prince of Chu, who was eating noodles with a bowl in his hand in the general's tent, was really confused when he saw Wang Xuance rushing in excitedly and asked this question right away.

But then he reacted: "Oh... Lord Xie... Hurry up! Take off your shoes and follow me to welcome Lord Xie!"

"Your Highness, I am not a military commander. You don't need to be so..." Xie Minlin really didn't want to see his reckless master imitate Prime Minister Cao, so when he heard the master was going to do this again outside the tent, the middle-aged scholar with a good appearance opened the curtain and entered the tent: "--So...sincere."

"Mr. Xie, I miss you so much!" - As everyone knows, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always been good at making horizontal comparisons - for example, the reason why Master Yu taught the King of Chu such an outstanding disciple is mainly because His Royal Highness the King of Chu is of "good quality", a natural unpolished jade; but it is undeniable that Master Yu is also a very outstanding master of military strategy.

Therefore, it can be seen that being able to teach a talented strategist like Wang Xuance, even if Xie Minlin was not as outstanding as his brother, Princess Yicheng's lifelong love, Xie Minjun of Chenjun Xie family, he at least entered the ranks of the world's top strategists.

"Your Highness, have you finished eating? If you have, I have something serious to discuss with you." As one of the Dou family's servants, Xie Minlin naturally had no reservations about His Highness the Prince of Chu, the head of the family: "Xuan Ce, you go out and guard later. No one is allowed to approach except the little Taoist priest."

"Teacher..." Wang Xuance seemed to realize that the situation was not good: "You..."

"Xuan Ce, you go out first." His Royal Highness the King of Chu also noticed something strange at this time. He handed the bowl in his hand to Wang Xuan Ce, and then gave the other party a "don't worry" look.

Seeing this, Wang Xuance had no choice but to quietly leave the tent.

"Your Highness, although today is the first time I meet you, I still want to skip the politeness and get straight to the point." After Wang Xuance left, Xie Minlin faced the Prince of Chu, who had his arms folded across his chest and was full of aura. He first smiled slightly, and then said something earth-shattering: "Your Highness, are you planning to escape?"

"Ah?" His Royal Highness Prince Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Where did you get this from?"

"I will not comment on the matter of Hebei Province." Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not seem to want to admit it, Xie Minlin simply continued to speak: "But after that, you first went to Tubo and taught the unruly Lu Dongzan a lesson, then came to Goguryeo, cooperated with Quan Gaisuwen to kill Gao Jianwu, and helped him become the unprecedented 'Mozhili' in Goguryeo history. Then you came to Silla and tried to use the opportunity of suppressing bandits to make Silla and Japan fight to the death. Oh... By the way, the Japanese spy seemed to have explained the truth of something - the king of Japan actually sent people to invade Silla after accepting the request of the king of Baekje.

In this way, things went smoothly beyond your imagination. "When Xie Minlin said this, he saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had finally resumed his sitting posture, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Your Highness, do you know that all the hard work you have done for the Tang Dynasty may not be appreciated by anyone?"

"I am not doing this for that tyrant." His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned upon hearing this: "I am doing this for the longevity of the Tang Dynasty and for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Your Highness, I admire you very much." After listening to the words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Xie Minlin was silent for a long time, and then he slowly said: "First teach Lu Dongzan a lesson, and then kill Gao Jianwu. When Lu Dongzan sees the fate of Goguryeo, I am afraid that he will never dare to covet the territory of the Tang Dynasty again in his lifetime. In this way, Lu Dongzan will be honest, and the two remaining Turkic Khans in the Western Regions can be dealt with by the Tang Dynasty at any time. As for Tuyuhun... Haha... Although the territories given up by Tubo are useless, they are reluctant to return them voluntarily..."

"What did you see happen to Qing Goryeo?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Xuan Ce thought that I was just in a momentary mood..."

"Your Highness may have acted on impulse." Xie Minlin twitched his eyebrows upon hearing this. "But Your Highness, from the Battle of Shuofang City to today, you have done too many shocking actions because of 'impulsiveness'. But when I summarize these actions one by one and finally refer to each corresponding result, I find that everything you do seems to have a deep meaning..."

"..." It's bad... His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now looking at the great counselor in front of him, and a sentence keeps flashing in his mind: This boy... No... This man... Well... This is our great minister, we must keep him...

But... that's not right... how come there is a new-generation talent who is good at statistics among his retainers?

"Well..." After a not-so-intense ideological struggle, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finally decided to confess: "Mr. Xie... You won't tell Dou Shu'er about this..."

"Your Highness, I am the Dou family's tribute because the old lady thought highly of me and decided against all odds. I have already received great favors from the Dou family, and then I received this appreciation, so I will naturally be loyal to you from beginning to end. Moreover, the old lady originally hoped that I could reach a certain balance with Dou Shilun, and as for you, you spared Princess Yicheng in the Turkic Empire, which is another rare favor." Xie Minlin said this with a sigh in his tone, "I have been to Suiye City, and Princess Yicheng has a very high opinion of you."

"That's nothing to say, let's not talk about it for now." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was still a little confused at the moment: "Well... wait a minute... Mr. Xie... Mr. Xie, you said you are a tribute to the Dou family?"

"Why, Your Highness, do you think I am not qualified enough?" Xie Minlin put his hands behind his back and looked at the weapon rack beside him with a leisurely look: "Then I am a little sad."

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu swore that Xie Gongfeng was so abstract and boring, and had nothing to do with him at all - they just met for the first time!

"Your Highness, in fact, although there are not many Dou family worshippers, each of them has their own value. You don't have to doubt this." After the abstract, Xie Minlin still patiently explained: "The reason why we didn't appear by your side too early is mainly because the old Heavenly Master didn't allow us to."

"Old Taoist Priest?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not expect that the bad old man who was "dying soon" would make a brilliant appearance here again.

"All the servants of the Dou family must listen to the words of the chief minister." Xie Minlin said with a bitter face, "He is only a little amiable in front of you. On ordinary days, even the ministers dare not even breathe in front of him."
