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

Life is often a deviant and absurd comedy.

For example, right now, when Pei Ji told Li Kuan about an opportunity, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's first reaction was not happiness. Of course, he also did not have the consciousness to "restore the glory of Xuanwu Sect".

"Old dog!" Li Kuan suddenly shouted, and then he pounced on Pei Ji: "Who in this city of Chang'an doesn't know that this king is loyal and courageous, unparalleled in the world? Rebellion? Ha! Even if my father made me Even if you are against it, I won’t be against it!”

Pei Ji looked at Li Kuan's sandbag-sized fist in front of him with a calm expression. As a treacherous minister, he had already expected the other party's reaction: "Your Highness, King Chu," Pei Ji suddenly sighed: "I am really not sent by His Majesty to test you..."

"You're so presumptuous!" Li Kuan's fist still didn't fall, but he didn't take it back either: "That's because the emperor's grandfather wants to rebel against my father, and it's impossible for me to rebel against him!"

"It's not like the Supreme Emperor sent an old minister to test you..." The way Pei Ji looked at Li Kuan at this moment was like Li Gang looking at Yang Guang back then: The little bastard is obviously not very old, but he is quite good at his job.

"Oh~~" Li Kuan nodded thoughtfully, then let go of Pei Ji and sat back down. Then, the smile reappeared on his face: "What, Prime Minister Pei... No, I am the prime minister! The king doesn’t have many manpower around him now…”

At this time, Pei Ji looked at His Highness the King of Chu who was occupying the front and then being respectful. The anger that had just emerged in his heart suddenly turned into emotion: Okay, okay, there is only one word difference between the King of Chu and the Overlord of Chu, that is, Pei Xiang and Xiangfu. Right?

"The problem of manpower..." Pei Ji took over Li Kuan's words and said, "I hope Your Highness should not underestimate yourself."

Li Kuan naturally heard what Pei Ji was referring to, and he picked his nose: "You mean Uncle Dou? But the manpower my grandmother gave him was to protect my safety, not for this kind of thing. of……"

"But Your Highness," Pei Ji was like an old magician at this moment. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Li Kuan with bewildering eyes: "If one day in the future, you also end up like your uncle, then Dou Shilun Should I stand up to protect you?"

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows. He suddenly felt that it was a pity that his fist had not landed on Pei Ji's old face: "Father, you should not have made such an assumption."

"Hahahaha..." Pei Ji suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter. After a long while, he looked at Li Kuan again and said seriously: "Your Highness, I am not trying to scare you. There have been disputes in the royal family since ancient times. Many times, You can't help yourself, can you guarantee that one day in the future, you will not fall into passivity? A truly smart person should learn to take the initiative. How can you leave your own destiny in the hands of others?!"

I have to say, ginger is still spicy.

And Pei Ji, an old ginger, successfully shocked a certain young prince's heart with his wonderful language skills.

Your grandma’s…

Li Kuan looked at Pei Ji and thought that he had really underestimated this old pervert who discussed women's thin waists with the emperor's grandfather all day long. It was right to think about it. After all, he was also an old subordinate who followed the emperor's grandfather to start a business. In the turmoil of the late Sui Dynasty, he was in trouble. , how can someone who can survive and live well in the end be a mediocre person?

"Okay!" Li Kuan suddenly slapped the case: "Xiangfu! I will trust you for once! Let's do it! I will go see Uncle Dou and ask him to prepare manpower!"

"Alas!" Pei Ji was very happy when he saw Leng Tou Qing taking the bait. However, seeing Leng Tou Qing rushing to deliver His Majesty Li Er's head, he still subconsciously blocked his exit and said, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry now. You have already Now that you’ve made your decision, why don’t you and I go meet a few people first?”

"Who are you meeting?" Li Kuan said and stood up: "Xiangfu, everything should be resolved quickly, Xiangfu, you must know that time waits for no one, Xiangfu!"

"..." Pei Ji looked at the angry rebel king, and he suddenly had the illusion that he was being played.

Damn...you've wanted to do this for a long time, right?

At this time, Pei Ji suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter: What if this kid gained power, wouldn't he be in trouble?

But... Pei Ji thought of his original plan. At present, encouraging Li Kuan was only the first step, so he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, the person I recommend to you is a powerful person in the world. Among them is the Li family of Zhaojun." , Boling Cui family, Qinghe Cui family (five surnames and seven hopes), as well as representatives of the Langya Wang family, Chenjun Xie family, Hongnong Yang family, Lanling Xiao family (the eight Guanlong families), and His Majesty’s maternal clan, the Dou family in Hebei..."

Li Kuan stared blankly as Pei Ji read out a long list of names like he was announcing the names of dishes.

He suddenly felt a little confused: Just for this battle, he still needed to carry out the Xuanwu Sect Change?

Wouldn't it be nice to find a place to erect the emperor's banner yourself?

For the first time, Li Kuan felt that the old man Pei Ji was trying to insult his IQ.

But an insult is an insult, so we have to admit it, right?

"Father, where are these people now?" Li Kuan pursed his lips and looked like he was thinking seriously: "You know that I can't just leave the palace now..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness," Pei Ji suddenly said with a smile, "I have already prepared."

As Pei Ji finished speaking, not long after, there was a burst of laughter outside the lobby.

When Li Kuan heard it, he realized that this polite fake smile was so annoying.

"Brother Xuanzhen, it seems that you have finally convinced His Highness the King of Chu." An old man's voice sounded outside the house. Immediately afterwards, Li Kuan saw a group of white-haired old men in brocade clothes appearing at the door. He was the first to speak. The tall man stood in the middle, bowed to Li Kuan in the room and said, "I, Dou Wei, have met His Highness the King of Chu."

Beginning with Dou Wei, there was a long series of self-introductions. Li Kuan was confused when he heard this, but he just kept nodding in agreement.

During this period, he heard Pei Ji beside him whisper in his ear: "Your Highness, that Dou Wei is your grandmother's clan brother. You can call me cousin."

Li Kuan, who was still busy writing down people's names at this time, was still wondering why the three families of Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang didn't come. Could it be that there was a third rebel waiting for funding?

Suddenly, various thoughts intertwined in Li Kuan's mind. There was a feeling that things were out of control, and his little patience was about to be exhausted.

Finally, Li Kuan stood up and bowed to Dou Wei, who was the first to speak: "Cousin, uncle, and all the heads of the family here, please allow me to accuse you first. Things happened suddenly today, although I I have made up my mind to be a man who "lives for the five tripods, and dies for the five tripods". But the more critical the situation, the more careful consideration must be. What I have to do now is to go back and count the chips. When the time comes, When I make a deal with you, I will know whether I have the confidence to honor it. Therefore, the conversation with you will be scheduled three days later, at the Yushan Villa given to me by my mother. I will sweep the couch to welcome you."

After Li Kuan said these words, he bowed again regardless of the shocked people, and then left the lobby without listening to Pei Ji's dissuasion.

"Your Highness... Your Highness!" In the lobby, Pei Ji watched Li Kuan leave. Although his tone was anxious, the emotion in his eyes was unwavering.

After the servants in the palace came to report that King Chu had left in a carriage, Pei Ji looked at the people in the room and suddenly sneered: "Ha...he is just a young boy after all. This little quarrel scared him."

"Hahahaha..." Xie Jun, the head of the Xie family in Chen County, seemed to have heard a funny joke: "I have often heard people say that this boy is unruly, but now it seems that he is just following what others say!"

"Ha," Li Kuan called him "uncle," but Dou Wei, who watched him leave with a smile from beginning to end, just turned his head and glanced at Xie Jun, and the other party suddenly became silent: "Xie Jun, I am not trying to make up for my juniors, but I have to remind you: right now, we still need this boy to break the situation for us, so don’t go too far!"

After all, he was the head of an aristocratic family that had given birth to five queens in eight hundred years (actually six, and one appeared after Zhenguan - Empress Zhaocheng, let’s not mention it for now). Dou Wei’s aura was even better than that of the one present. Everyone should be satisfied, and as he spoke these words, even Pei Ji lowered his eyelids slightly, looking like he was being taught...
