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

"Then I have to send someone to Lingnan to ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu for his opinion on this matter?" His Majesty Li Er said with a stern face, "Then there is no time to waste. I will send someone to Lingnan right away!"

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Yaojin didn't expect that his best of both worlds plan would turn out to be a bad idea in the eyes of His Majesty: "It was my fault for speaking out of turn. Please just treat it as if I just had hysteria..."

"Your Majesty, it would be better to let His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu handle this matter." As a loyal minister of His Majesty Li II, Yuchi Gong always considered things clearly, so before he gave his reasons, he also explained to His Majesty Li II: "The minister and Duke Lu did not say this because we accepted gifts from His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. If the matter between Princess Yongjia and Yang Yuzhi is true, then no matter how you judge this case, it will inevitably be tainted with stench. But His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is different. If he can stand up and solve this matter for you.

Then in the eyes of the world, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did this out of filial piety. For this reason, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's reputation will only increase, and Your Majesty... can also take this opportunity to ease the father-son relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, so why not do it?"

"..."There must be a demon behind Yuchi Gong.

This was Emperor Li II’s first reaction after hearing these words.

But then, he felt that the demon behind Yuchi Gong was not without reason: "Will that boy be willing?"

"Your Majesty, even if His Majesty the Prince of Chu sentences them all to death, what does it matter?" Cheng Yaojin saw that His Majesty Li Er was already moved, so he quickly said, "Dou Fengjie had fought with His Majesty the Prince of Chu's retainers before, and as for Yang Yuzhi, he was also punished by His Majesty the Prince of Chu for molesting Dugu Yanyun's daughter - so in this matter, His Majesty the Prince of Chu can definitely be fair and just.

What do you have to worry about?"

"Will things really be as you said?" Emperor Li II felt that the matter was not very reliable - because of Cheng Yaojin's firm words, his inner uneasiness became even stronger.

"Anyway, in my opinion, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is more qualified to deal with them than Your Majesty. Be it Princess Yongjia or Dou Fengjie, the heads of both of their families, strictly speaking, are His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu..." Cheng Yaojin was really fighting for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.

There is no way. After His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has been away from the center of power, there will always be some short-sighted guys who will look down on him in secret - in this case, I, Old Cheng, will show you how strong the foundation of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is.

Perhaps it was because Cheng Yaojin's words "the heads of both families are His Royal Highness the King of Chu" were too ironic. After careful consideration, Emperor Li II finally gave in and said, "Come here, throw Dou Fengjie into the Dali Temple prison!"

"Yes!" Yun Shang heard the voice and walked into the hall and took the person away.

After Emperor Li II finished explaining this game, he saw Yang Shidao still fainted on the ground, and he glanced at Cheng Yaojin.

The latter gave him a simple smile in return.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Li II curled the corner of his mouth, then turned around and disappeared behind the screen.

After His Majesty left...

"Yang Shidao, wake up, wake up!" Duke Lu, who was eager to help others, stretched out his big foot and kicked Yang Shidao's head: "There are only three of us here. It's unacceptable to pretend to be dead again!"

"..." Yang Shidao also didn't understand. This bastard Cheng Yaojin had become a duke, wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food all day long - but his feet were still so smelly!

Forcing him to open his eyes.

"Go home quickly and prepare for your son's funeral." Yuchi Gong was a kind man, at least that's what Yang Shidao thought after he said this.

"Duke of E..." Yang Shidao finally remembered that he had not yet expressed his gratitude to this brave general: "Earlier, thanks to you--"

"——But if I were you." Military generals always speak their mind, and Duke E is no exception: "I would just throw that bastard's body into the mass grave outside the city! Bury it in our ancestral tomb? You won't be afraid of ruining our family's Feng Shui!"

"..." The expression on Yang Shidao's face froze after Yuchi Gong finished speaking.

"Yuchi, don't do this!" Cheng Yaojin knew how to help: "My son just died!"

"It's not like he can't have children!" Duke E's straightforwardness earned him rave reviews outside.

"But that bastard is his legitimate son after all!" Duke Lu had no intention of letting the scum go: "You are so open about it, the Duke of Anyang will be sad!"

"What a shame!" Yuchi Jingde sneered, "Divorce Princess Changguang, and take the concubine who has a son as your successor. Then you will have a legitimate son, right?"

"But if this is the case, Lord Yang's title will have to be downgraded." Cheng Yaojin began to persuade him patiently.

"Oh... So that's how it is..." Yuchi Gong pretended to be enlightened after hearing this: "After all, Yang Shidao is different from us. Our titles were obtained through real military merit."

"Puff!" - Yang Shidao, who was so angry that his face was as gloomy as water, could no longer bear the verbal confrontation between Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin. However, he was clearly furious but did not dare to vent, so a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Wow! What a rage!" Cheng Yaojin was satisfied with this scene. He shouted to Zhang Nan who was guarding outside the palace: "Zhang Nan, call in the imperial physician!"

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

Dou Fengjie was in jail, and Yang Shidao was so angry that he was bedridden. After simply burying his son, Princess Changguang knelt outside the palace in white and begged His Majesty to severely punish the murderer.

But she did not wait for the emperor's summons. Instead, the one who came to greet her was Hejian Prince Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong actually didn't want to get involved in this mess, but Tang Jian gave him a good idea: it would take at least two months for the messenger to travel from Chang'an to Lingnan and back - you have to perform well in these two months, otherwise His Royal Highness the King of Chu will come back to trouble you, what will you do?

Perhaps it was because the "noble character" of His Royal Highness the King of Chu was so "well-known" - Li Xiaogong, who repeatedly stated to the outside world that "he was not a coward, but was just fulfilling his duties as a royal clan leader", began his godly performance.

Princess Changguang was captured by Prince Hejian and his men and was directly imprisoned in the Zongzheng Temple.

In order to prevent her from committing suicide, her younger sister, Princess Yongjia, lived next door to the courtyard where she was imprisoned.

Tang Jian is indeed one of the most outstanding diplomats in the diplomatic history of the Tang Dynasty.

He has taken the open conspiracy to the extreme.

Because Princess Yongjia lived next door to her, Princess Changguang no longer planned to commit suicide - she was now more energetic than anyone else, eating well and sleeping well during the day, and at night she would jump around in her yard and curse Princess Yongjia in various ways.

Princess Yongjia did not dare to compete with Changguang at first, but after being scolded for a long time and harshly, she could no longer bear it and began to fight back.

So, in the following days, the two sisters began their daily quarrels. At first, Princess Changguang could still have the upper hand - but when Princess Yongjia became completely shameless and began to describe to the other party in vivid detail how "loving" she and her nephew Yang Yuzhi were, even a wanton like Changguang could not help but break down.

Just like that, the time came two months later.

The messenger brought back a letter from His Royal Highness the King of Chu from Qiongzhou, as well as... five hundred black-clad warriors under the King of Chu's command.
