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

On the third day after the meeting at Yushan Villa, Li Kuan, who had made all arrangements, once again sent a letter to Yinyue Tower in the name of "Shan Ling". The letter stated that he needed 400,000 shi of food. Qiwang of the fifth surname didn't want to sell it, so he had to pay the money first and then go to pick it up himself.

Even in order to show that he was determined to win 400,000 stones of food, Li Kuan directly sent his shadow assassins to lose money crazily on the gambling table of Yinyue Tower.

Anyway, he was already wealthy now. The more than two million copper coins he got from selling colored glaze also took up space in the summoning space, so he might as well lose more.

In just half a day's work, Li Kuan had already lost 80,000 gu of money, and this money, according to the current grain price, was enough to buy 100,000 shi of rice or 80,000 shi of millet.

The fat shopkeeper of Yinyue Tower also realized at this time that the other party was serious.

At the moment, he had no choice but to find Wang Qunyue, the head of the Wang family in Chang'an, and tell Shan Ling all of his demands.

And Wang Qunyue, who had a close relationship with Qu Tutong, was in a good mood after learning some "good news". He planned to take a few friends to meet this "Shan Ling" in person. After all, he was just a I heard that the reputation of dealing with the stewards or juniors in the clan of myself and others is not bad, so it’s just right that the brothers are about to finalize something on something, so we might as well have fun for the time being and meet this person. good.

At the same time, inside the palace.

"Second brother, I met Qu Tutong yesterday as you told me." In the Imperial Garden, brothers Li Kuan and Li Ke each had a small fishing rod and began to fish for the chubby koi in Taiye Pond.

"What should I say? Is he always touched? Think you are promising?" Li Kuan stared at the float and said with joy: "I thought about those words for a long time before finally finalizing them. I will keep Qu Tutong's words." After listening to this, I guess after I sent you off respectfully, I went off to find Wang Qunyue and the others."

"Second brother... what you said is really accurate..." Li Ke pursed his lips, and then laughed and said: "But I think this is a bit disrespectful..." After all, he made himself snot and burst into tears, thinking Qu Tutong told about the miserable life in the palace that did not exist at all, and his final sentence: "The wind and snow have weighed on me for two or three years... Please, gentlemen, raise your head for me!"

Be as tragic as you want, be as passionate as you want!

Li Ke even dared to say that when he said these words, the veterans in front of him looked at him with particularly warm eyes.

Perhaps their state of mind at that time was similar to Cao Cao's state of mind when he saw Yuan Shao, the "Fourth Generation and Three Dukes", and drew his sword at Dong Zhuo and shouted, "My sword is not bad at all."

Of course, those who are enthusiastic and want to be loyal are those who do not know the truth.

"Martial ethics?" Li Kuan suddenly bumped his brother with his shoulder: "What are you thinking? Those old guys are using you and my brothers as pawns. Is this talking about martial ethics? If they are really capable, they can look for our father. What do you and I think? By the way, brother, I have thought about it. When the time comes for the grain and grass we get, I will ask my eldest brother to write to these old people in the name of the prince and buy grain and grass from them. It will be considered as leaving. Let's go back to the scene and give the food and grass to the eldest brother. As for the benefits, I have thought about it. In the future, when the eldest brother becomes the emperor, let them hold a special draft for us brothers. Of course, if we reach the age of the emperor's grandfather by then , and if he is not so lustful... then let me make an exception and mention the specifications of the mausoleum to us?"

"I mean the second brother..." Li Ke really couldn't stand the thinking of his second brother at the moment: "It's the New Year this year, and you are only eleven, and I have just turned ten. Logically speaking, at our age, if anything happens Either way, it’s still considered premature (died before the age of twelve)… So is it too early to consider the draft and the construction of the imperial mausoleum (the specifications of the prince’s mausoleum are being raised, and it will be the imperial mausoleum)?” ——As the saying goes, those who are close to ink are dark, and those who are close to vermilion are red. Now Li Ke has become somewhat like his elder brother in his words and actions.

"Alas..." Li Kuan took a breath, casually glanced at his brother beside him, and then quickly turned his eyes to the float in the water: "Don't say the word 'died in infancy', it's bad luck! - To be honest, I am really worried that something will happen in the middle. What if our father, the foolish king, notices something strange while we are enduring the humiliation and concludes that our two brothers are plotting rebellion? What do you think we should do? Then I'm afraid..."

"Alas..." Li Ke, who had been forced onto the pirate ship, could only sigh when he heard this: "Second brother, don't regret it if you do it. You and I have a clear conscience."

"Xiao Ke," Li Kuan suddenly raised his chin and motioned Li Ke to look at the other side of Taiye Pond. He insisted on finding a "feng shui treasure land" and was preparing to catch Li Tai. The other party was yelling at the moment - of course. , not because of the fish, but because this unlucky guy actually caught an eel, but His Highness the King of Wei, who could not even identify the grains, insisted on thinking that what he had caught was a water snake. He cried and called "Second Brother" "Third Brother", while frantically gesturing to the palace guards in the distance to come and help. He wanted to throw the fishing rod but was reluctant to throw it away. He was in a state of confusion.

"Xiao Tai is still happy." Li Ke smiled slightly and sighed. Then, his eyes suddenly changed: "Second brother, second brother! The fish is hooked!"

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

Naturally, it wasn’t just the fish that took the bait.

For example, His Majesty Li Er is in a very complicated mood at the moment.

In the imperial study room, in front of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, he paced in front of the imperial case and sighed crazily.

"What a fool... what a fool!" Li Er turned around and looked at Fang Xuanling, saying sadly: "Even if he wants to rebel, he still has to imitate me! Things are done in a secret way! This bastard, in broad daylight,... When someone comes to Bieyuan, I don’t even tell you whether I have eyes and ears in the secret. Just think of the Xuanjia Army next to Bieyuan. Do you think they are all dead?! Do you think I am blind and deaf?!”

"Your Majesty, please calm down first..." Fang Xuanling, who had been spitted all over his face by Li Er, was speechless at the moment. He realized that no matter "little Li Er" - His Royal Highness King Chu, or the big Li Er in front of him, father and son The two of them have one ironic similarity: their way of doing things and their perspective on things are often different from ordinary people.

For example, His Majesty Li Er is not angry at all because a certain son may want to rebel, but because he feels that his son's rebellion is so crude that it is more or less likely to embarrass him, the great general.

"Calm down your anger?!" Li Er glared at Fang Xuanling: "Fang Qing, do you know that this Zhu Zi is just trying to kill himself, and he even drags Ke'er..." Li Shimin seemed to be really sad: "This little brat... he was so protective of his brother a few days ago, but now he is dragging him into a pit of fire..."

"Your Majesty, just because His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrangements for His Highness the King of Shu, I feel that the rebellion may not be true." The reason why Fang Xuanling is not in a hurry is also here, because after all, there is only one throne, you can pull it It's not unusual for your brother to accompany you in the rebellion, but it's a bit unreasonable for you two to work on your own and win over supporters.

Ours, on this matter of rebellion, can you two still seek common ground while reserving differences? ——Let’s work together to deal with the father and brother first, and then start fighting separately to decide the outcome, right?

This is not realistic at all.

"Fang Qing, I know what you are thinking." Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling and said seriously: "But think about what kind of character this guy of mine has on a daily basis? When did this little bastard use ordinary people's behavior?" Have you thought about the problem? - He can really do this! And that kid Ke'er has a pure nature, and he was protected by this Shuzi with all his strength a few days ago, so it is reasonable for him to be deceived by this Shuzi now. Hit!"

As soon as Li Er said this, he didn't want to participate in this childish conversation at all, so Du Ruhui, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes.

Because at this moment, even he felt that if this person was His Highness the King of Chu, it would not be surprising that he could do this...
