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

“Old Heavenly Master, you’re going too far…” Upon hearing what the Heavenly Master said, King Chu immediately crossed his arms over his chest to express his displeasure: “Although I may look as foolish as Yuwen Qing, I can still tell what is weird…”

"That's really rare." The old Taoist priest smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "Your Highness, don't worry about Chang'an's affairs. Someone will go and talk to His Majesty about it."

"Will reasoning work?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. "That tyrant king won't listen to any reason at all now - he just thinks that I want his position. Tsk... He'd better be able to sit in that position forever, and he'd better not pass the throne to anyone else!"

"Well said!" Seeing His Royal Highness the King of Chu's passionate words, the old Taoist priest clapped his hands and sighed, "I don't know if it's too late now - these words must be heard by your father..."

"Don't worry, old master. I'll ask Tang Jian to pass on something much more powerful than this." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said casually, "I don't know if he can withstand it."

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

Can His Majesty Li II withstand it?

He was obviously overwhelmed.

And Tang Jian is also a smart man.

Before he arrived in Chang'an, he sent people to inform Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Niu Jinda, Li Xiaogong and others: Please, for the sake of His Royal Highness the King of Chu... Bah, bah, bah, in short, the consequences this time are so great that I really cannot bear it alone, and you must help me at the right time!

then……

The ministers who received the news also tacitly chose to ask for an audience at the same time "coincidentally" when Tang Jian entered the palace to report to Emperor Li II.

However, Emperor Li II did not care about this: It is good that they are all here, so that they don't have to cause trouble for me one by one.

However, Emperor Li II's idea may be too good to be true.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said..." In the imperial study, in front of a group of ministers, Tang Jian began to convey the "Chu Prince's Edict" that he had "slightly modified" to His Majesty Li II: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that Your Majesty is a wise emperor. Such a wise emperor will naturally not miss state affairs because of his love for his children. Although Lingnan is now a poor and barren land, as long as we have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, and generation after generation of wholehearted dedication, Lingnan will sooner or later become a fertile land. And His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is willing to go to Qiongzhou to be a vassal out of his love for the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty, so as to set an example for the people of the world.

In addition, since the envoys and rulers of the Western Regions are currently discussing the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate with Duke Yi in Gaochang, he will have to wait in Gaochang for a month or two. Once the matter is completed, he will voluntarily go to Lingnan and will not worry Your Majesty. "

"..."

After Tang Jian finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the Taiji Hall.

Emperor Li II and his ministers looked at each other - no one believed that King Chu could say such a thing.

It's not that everyone doesn't believe in King Chu, but everyone knows him too well: if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so polite, then something really bad has happened.

What, he really became a wise king?!

"Mr. Tang..." His Majesty Li II said as he raised his hand, paused in the air for a moment, and then pointed at Li Junxian who was standing behind Tang Jian: "Forget it... Li Junxian, you go ahead!"

"Your Majesty..." Li Junxian was still shocked by Tang Jian's audacity, thinking that the man in front of him was indeed worthy of being the Minister of the Honglu Temple - he could actually "embellish" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's outrageous speech to such an extent. However, none of this mattered, because now it was his turn to be in a dilemma: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu...he..."

"I want you to tell the truth!" When His Majesty Li II saw Li Junxian's hesitant reaction, he immediately realized that something was wrong: "What did that bastard say?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said..." Li Junxian felt as if the sky was about to fall when he saw this, but he knew that if he repeated what Lord Tang said again, then both of them would be finished: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that he knew that Your Majesty was not Emperor Xiaozhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty - and he was not Erzhu Rong. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu believed that he had achieved the utmost in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, so if Your Majesty is still not satisfied with him, then you can send out a large army... a large army..."

"Bang!" His Majesty Li II had already picked up the inkstone on the imperial desk and smashed it to the ground: "This bastard...he wants to completely break off relations with me!"

"Your Majesty, Li Junxian is making up stories! His Majesty the Prince of Chu never said such a thing!" Tang Jian ignored the fact that His Majesty Li Er was furious and said calmly, "This man falsely accused His Majesty the Prince of Chu of plotting a rebellion. I request Your Majesty to order his execution immediately!"

"What did you say?" His Majesty Li II was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and chop someone down: "Tang Jian, I haven't held you accountable yet, and you actually--"

"Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?" Tang Jian said seriously, "I and Li Junxian met His Royal Highness the King of Chu together. Now we each have our own story, but why did Your Majesty choose to believe Li Junxian instead of me? I think if Your Majesty has time, you might as well read Liezi carefully - in addition to the story of Yugong moving the mountain, there is also the story of suspecting the neighbor of stealing the axe!"

boom!

Damn...

Duke Tang really gave it his all for His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

At this time, Fang Xuanling and others looked at Tang Jian with admiration: This is a real warrior...

Even Wei Zheng now has to admit that Lord Tang is even braver than him!

"You...you!" His Majesty Li II was so angry that he almost lost his voice, but then he suddenly shouted outside: "Someone come! Someone come! Bring Tang Jian away to me!"

"Your Majesty." After admiring Tang Jian, Wei Zheng felt that it was time for him to take the stage: "What Lord Tang said makes sense - since we have no way to prove who is telling the truth between Lord Tang and Li Junxian, then Your Majesty, choosing to believe Li Junxian based on your own subjective will... is a bit too arbitrary.

Moreover, according to Li Junxian, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is ready to confront you head-on - so are you really going to send troops to attack Gaochang?

The two Khans of Western Turkic are now on their way back to Chang'an, and the foreign tribes in the entire Western Regions have completely surrendered because of the power of His Royal Highness the King of Chu in one battle - at this time, you are concluding that His Royal Highness the King of Chu intends to rebel based on Li Junxian's one-sided statement...

To be honest, even in history books, there is no such tyrant king!"
