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

"Your Highness, I have nothing to report." Wei Zheng was a smart man. He knew that whoever went against His Highness the King of Chu would be doomed to be in trouble. Even though His Highness the King of Chu seemed to be passive in the current situation, but... Wei Zheng still felt from the bottom of his heart that things could not be that simple.

"Duke Wei, since you don't want to participate..." At this moment, Yuwen Shiji, Duke of Ying, suddenly stood up and said, "Then I will participate!"

"Good!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately gave Yuwen Shiji a thumbs up and said, "Duke Ying, what do you want to complain to me about?"

"Your Highness, I know that you had a conflict with the Japanese in Silla... But... The Japanese came here from afar because they admired our Central Plains culture and studied hard in Chang'an. How could we... How could we kill these envoys who spread culture..." Yuwen Shiji was now planning to surrender to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he didn't care about anything else: "Besides, Your Highness's move would also give other foreign countries a bad impression of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Just keep talking, why are you twitching?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Yuwen Shiji looking up at the top of the hall while he was talking, so he said unhappily: "The one sitting up there is my father, not your father!"

“Hahahaha…” As His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, the group of generals led by Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin immediately burst into laughter.

"Villain!" Du Ruhui glanced at Yuwen Shiji with disdain, and then turned his head away from him.

However, the look in the eyes of Zhao Guogong, Zhangsun Wuji, a staunch supporter of the prince, when he looked at Yuwen Shiji, was filled with hidden murderous intent.

I don't know whether he had some complicated feelings towards Li Kuan or simply felt that his position might be threatened.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince… lowered his head calmly at this moment, hiding the guilt and anger in his eyes…

"Okay!" At this moment, His Majesty Li Er suddenly stopped the noise in the hall and looked at Li Kuan: "I know you have your reasons for doing things. If you are willing to speak, now is the best time. If you are not willing to speak, I will let this matter go."

"Of course I have something to say!" - His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not accept his father's kindness. He suddenly took out a booklet from his arms and said to everyone: "This is the Shennong Herbal Classic that I found in the residence of a Japanese student. The prescriptions recorded in it originated from my Chinese ancestor Shennong. They were passed down orally from generation to generation until the Eastern Han Dynasty when they were compiled into a book and then passed down from generation to generation to this day..."

His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, looking around: "I know that you all think that I am uneducated, but no matter how uneducated I am, I also know that the things left by our ancestors should be cherished as descendants. You are so good, haha... I just give such medical books to you. In addition, I also found that there are a large number of classics, history, Buddhist scriptures, agriculture, and handicraft production books in the residences of those Japanese students - they wish to move the entire Chang'an back to their country! And this, you think it doesn't matter?!

Do you know what kind of people those Japanese are?! In Silla, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. Silla was small and weak, unable to resist those Japanese bandits, so their people lived in dire straits every day——"

"Your Highness, it is the people of Silla who are suffering. What does this have to do with us?" Yuwen Shiji suddenly interrupted the conversation of His Highness the King of Chu.

But the next moment, someone grabbed his neck and lifted his whole body into the air.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is speaking, what right do you have to interrupt him?!" - Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian, the new Zongzheng of Zongzheng Temple, stared at Yuwen Shiji, who was being held in his hands like a toy, with a cold face, and said in a low voice: "Even if you rush to burn the hot stove of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should first think clearly about who you are!"

"Li Xiaogong... why are you stealing my job..." Chai Shao, the Duke of Qiao, who was a step behind, also came to Li Xiaogong at this time. However, when he finished complaining and turned to look at Yuwen Shiji, the undisguised murderous intent in his eyes even made Yuwen Shiji subconsciously stop struggling for a while.

boom!

At this time, most of the civil and military officials were still waiting for the next move from His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Facing Yuwen Shiji who suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation, most of them were disgusted, but...

Prince of Hejian... When did you become so close to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu...

And Duke Qiao... well... you and your two sons have always worn the same pair of pants with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu...

"Uncle, put him down..." The Prince of Chu had already caught a glimpse of the sudden realization on Zhang Zhenxuan's face, so he simply reminded him: "This is the Taiji Hall... How can you fight with others..."

"You are still qualified to say that?" King Jiangxia Li Daozon also stepped out of the crowd. After he finished complaining about His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, he came to Li Xiaogong and held down his arm: "Alright, this guy doesn't know etiquette. We have to follow the rules. His Majesty is still watching us..."

"..." His Majesty Li Er's current mood is like...

Forget it. Actually, he could vaguely guess what Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were thinking: If no one from the Longyou Li family stood up to stand with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, then...if things develop in a worse direction...

"Click..." Li Xiaogong listened to the advice, so he let go of Yuwen Shiji as soon as Li Daozon finished speaking.

Then, the "emotional" Prince of Hejian bowed to the ground again and said, "Your Majesty, I know I am guilty, so I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

"I forgive you your innocence..." What else could Emperor Li II say? At this moment, he turned his gaze to his most...uncontrollable son: Is this what you want?

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu also looked back at his father at this moment: It’s ridiculous... Your Majesty... You still don’t know me well enough after all.

"In fact, the reason why I came to the palace today is to tell you a very simple truth. For thousands of years, when dynasties changed, the military force would collapse. When historians describe this process, they usually only use four words to describe it, called 'the decline of the Central Plains' - and the last time the Central Plains declined, we all know what happened.

Sima Yi usurped the throne, which marked the beginning of the three hundred years of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China!

At that time, would the people of the Central Plains have a better life than the people of Silla who are suffering from invasion now? !

People should not be self-aggrandizing and arrogant! This is especially true for dynasties!

Therefore, I will not let these treasures left by our ancestors, which are insignificant in your eyes, drift to foreign countries so easily! The farming skills they learned will produce more food in the future, which will feed their soldiers and make them stronger. Then these strong soldiers will wield weapons made with the iron smelting and sword forging skills we passed down to slaughter our descendants!"
