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

"Mother..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw Empress Changsun, he immediately stood up with Sizi in his arms. Then he thought about it and simply found a lame excuse: "I am sad because Zhinu, that stinky boy, didn't--"

"——Second brother! Second brother!" Perhaps sensing his second brother's "Great Summoning Technique", the Ninth Prince, like his sister Sizi, now carried a bright red... wait...

“Child slave…” – His Royal Highness the King of Chu sometimes had to admire his younger brother’s courage: “How could you use…”

"I found this in my father's study!" - Zhinu knew how to cause family conflicts: "He hid it very well!"

"There seems to be some words on it..." Qingque took a closer look and immediately discovered the secret: "This is the 'state letter' written by the Queen of Silla to our father..."

Well, there are still experts!

Who said Zhinu was stupid? This kid was born smart! Even smarter than his sixth brother who was good at "bed remonstrance" and "face-to-face"!

"Mother..." At this moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was actually very grateful to Zhinu for suddenly appearing and helping him escape from the sentimental atmosphere in front of him: "You can't be angry with Zhinu...If you want to blame someone, blame it on a certain tyrant who is not disciplined in private and indulges in wine and women..."

"......" Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun curled her lips. Knowing that her son did not want to discuss certain heavy topics with her, she could only cooperate tacitly: "That makes sense... I will -"

"——Your Highness the Prince of Chu! Your Highness the Prince of Chu! Something terrible has happened!" At this moment, the chief eunuch Zhang Nan suddenly rushed into the Ganlu Palace Square in a panic. After seeing the Queen of Chu in the corridor, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty just received a letter from the two Khans of Western Turkic. The letter said that the two of them are now planning to join forces to speak up for Your Highness the Crown Prince, and also clearly stated in the letter that if Your Majesty decides to change the crown prince, the Turkish cavalry will go south to seek justice for Your Highness the Crown Prince! His Majesty was furious when he saw the letter, and he has summoned several dukes and is planning to send troops to attack Western Turkic again!"

"Is this a bad thing?" - His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that this matter was really... difficult to comment on.

But he was also very confused - there was an irreconcilable hatred between Siyehu Khan and Yibishekui Khan, so why did they suddenly join forces?

Moreover, he even had the guts to tilt his head and bare his teeth at the Tang Dynasty again.

"Your Highness... you should go to the Imperial Study..." Zhang Nan also found it difficult - based on his many years of experience in serving His Majesty, His Majesty's anger this time was mostly a show - and his main purpose was probably...

To be honest, even a eunuch like Zhang Nan couldn't stand it any longer - the emperor had been testing the emperor, who was then the King of Qin, and the testing led to the "Xuanwu Gate Incident". Now the emperor wanted to test him again...

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he bent down and put down the well-behaved and sensible sister in his arms.

"Sizi," His Royal Highness the King of Chu squatted down in front of his sister, first tidied up the messy hem of her skirt, and then pinched her hand: "Second brother will come to see you later, okay?"

The little princess waited for her second brother to finish speaking, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him by the neck: "Sizi, be obedient, and second brother should also be obedient - you can't abandon Sizi."

"Okay, second brother will not abandon Sizi." His Royal Highness the King of Chu's lips trembled slightly, but his tone was still gentle.

Then, he raised his hand and hugged the slave who was watching eagerly at the side: "Silly slave, from now on... you are not allowed to go to father's study and rummage around..."

"Brother, take me away, take me away!" Although Zhinu was young, she could feel the feelings of her brother towards her: "I promise to be obedient..."

"Well... second brother, please think about it." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his brother's head, then stood up and patted Li Tai, whose eyes were also red: "Qingque, you are sensible now, second brother will not coax you."

"Second brother..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, who had been able to withstand the scene before him, finally broke down emotionally after hearing his second brother's words that had hidden meaning and asked his mother to dispel her worries.

He couldn't figure it out - his second brother, who seemed carefree on weekdays, was actually a very emotional person at heart. Just like at this moment, he took good care of everyone's emotions, but didn't mention his own feelings.

"Mother, I will go to the imperial study first." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that he could not bear to watch his fat brother crying, so after bowing to his mother, he strode down the steps and took Zhang Nan to the Taiji Hall.

"Kuan'er..." Empress Changsun stood in the corridor of Ganlu Palace, looking at her son's back as he left. In addition to sadness, she also had a very strange thought in her heart.

It seemed...from this moment on, she had truly lost her most filial son.

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

Half an hour later.

Tai Chi Hall, Imperial Study Room.

"What do you want from me?" Before His Royal Highness Prince Chu even stepped into the imperial study, his unique "Prince Chu-style scolding" was already heard outside the study: "What's the point of holding small meetings for a few stupid barbarians every day? They are just a bunch of people who only eat and do not work--"

"——Your Highness, I am here too!"——Li Ji, the Duke of Ying, was not going to surrender to the Crown Prince. The taste of the naan bread in Qianquan City back then became more and more delicious in his memory: "Besides, you should at least give everyone some respect!"

"..." Emperor Li II was originally very angry, but when he saw his son coming and seemed to be even angrier than him, his anger inexplicably subsided.

"Oh, they are all here." Just as His Majesty Li II was thinking, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already stepped into the imperial study. He first looked around and found that in addition to his eldest brother Li Chengqian, the crown prince, there were Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Daozon, Li Xiaogong, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin on the military side, and the lineup of civil officials was also good, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Tang Jian, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Gao Shilian, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Your Highness the King of Chu." As soon as His Highness the King of Chu finished speaking, all the ministers saluted to His Highness the King of Chu.

Strange to say.

Li Chengqian, who had always been loved by everyone and received countless praises from ministers, now seemed to be inferior to Li Kuan in every way, who was raised by the Empress Dowager alone and whose notoriety spread from Chang'an to the outside of the Great Wall.

Especially at this moment, even His Majesty Li II had to admit one thing: the child who once grew up in an inconspicuous corner can now straighten his back and support the world and protect the people under his rule.
