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

"In that case..." After listening to the analysis of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Dou Shilun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this moment: "Then let's fight!"

"Dou Shu'er, you are more active than me this time." When His Majesty the King of Chu heard that Dou Shu'er actually agreed to fight this war, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "But don't worry, after we wipe out Goguryeo and Baekje this time, if there is that beautiful woman——"

"Stop it, you little brat." Dou Shilun never expected that the King of Chu still had his eye on the princess. "I am not lustful."

"Oh, Uncle Dou——" His Royal Highness the King of Chu had something to say at this moment: "Men, there is no one who is not lustful."

"I am past that age." Dou Shilun sighed upon hearing this, and then looked at his young patriarch helplessly: "Your Highness, you should also take it easy..."

"Uh..." Seeing the fire burning on himself, King Chu suddenly remembered the business: "Let's not talk about this... Let's get back to business - what do you think, should I write a letter back to Chang'an and let that tyrant king take advantage of the situation first?"

"Your Highness, are you saying that if Quan Gaisuwen wrote a deceptive letter, then Your Majesty should believe it?" Wang Xuance, who was standing by, frowned when he heard what Li Kuan said, "This kind of thing... is not because Your Majesty is unwilling, nor is it because Your Majesty cannot see through it, but there are some fools in the court... who think they are smart!"

"Oh, you mean my uncle Wuji?" Because Wei Zheng has now become his father-in-law, as for Yuwen Shiji...for Wanwan's sake, the King of Chu can't make up stories about him for no reason, so His Highness the King of Chu's adopted uncle, Changsun Wuji, became the only victim.

“Your Highness…” Wang Xuance felt amused when he heard this: “We are discussing serious matters now. There are always some idiots among the court officials who think they are smarter than others and can see through Quan Gaisuwen’s conspiracy, and then urge Your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible…”

"Oh... then he is not the Duke of Zhao." His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head with some regret after hearing this: "He is not so stupid as to be this stupid."

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

The facts are just as His Royal Highness the King of Chu expected.

In July of the 14th year of Zhenguan, after the Tang Dynasty's letter questioning why Goguryeo joined forces with Baekje to attack Silla was delivered to Goguryeo's capital, Quan Gaisuwen, who was planning to break through Silla's second line of defense in one go, immediately submitted a letter of extremely flattering reply to Emperor Li II.

In the letter, Quan Gaisuwen first emphasized that Goguryeo did not join forces with Baekje to attack Silla, but the two countries happened to have a conflict with Silla at the same time over border issues, which led to the war.

So he asked Emperor Li II not to be angry about this, and he also said: If the Tang Dynasty was willing to mediate the war between Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, he would welcome it, and even promised that he would definitely entertain the visiting Tang Dynasty delegation well.

It has to be said that since he got rid of the root of his troubles, Quan Gaisuwen's political level has risen sharply.

But the more he did this, the more people feared him.

In the Taiji Hall, after Zhang Nan finished reading Quan Gaisuwen's handwritten letter, the ministers were first in an uproar, and then fell silent. Even Wei Zheng, who was always active in speaking, exchanged glances with Zhang Gongjin beside him.

like……

This kind of thing... anyone with a brain can see it clearly - but His Majesty insisted on having Zhang Nan read the reply letter in front of everyone, which is very intriguing.

Does Your Majesty want to play the role of "ignorance is bliss"?

But Emperor Li II's idea was good, but Wang Xuance's words came true, and there really was a smart guy who thought he had seen through Quan Gaisuwen's conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo has evil ambitions. This is just a delaying tactic on their part. You must not be fooled!" - When the Chief Censor, Quan Wanji, who was also the incoming Chief Clerk of the King of Shu, finally made his debut under the expectant gaze of everyone.

"Why do you say that, Lord Quan?" His Majesty Li II had obviously anticipated this situation, so his reaction was very calm: "Could it be that Quan Gaisuwen dares to deceive me?!"

"Your Majesty, don't you think about it? Quan Gaisuwen was originally a regicide. The last Goguryeo king, Gao Jianwu, was said to have been killed by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. But everyone knows the truth." Quan Wanji was really reckless. Every word he said was full of the art of offense, and the target was not limited to His Majesty Li Er: "Besides, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, Quan Gaisuwen is now a eunuch.

I'm afraid the only desire in his heart is the desire for power. Such a person, no matter what he says, is not worthy of trust. On the contrary, we only need to treat what he says as a lie, and then the truth of the matter will be revealed.

"Your Majesty, I object!" Zhangsun Wuji saw that His Majesty Li Er's face was getting darker and darker. Years of tacit understanding made him know that if he didn't come out to help at this time, he would be held accountable later: "What Quan Wanji said is simply nonsense! Since Quan Gaisuwen has already experienced the power of His Majesty the King of Chu, he should know that if he dares to deceive Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Chu will never let him go - and as a defeated general, does he still have the confidence to face the attack of His Majesty the King of Chu?!"

"No..." When Quan Wanji heard what Zhangsun Wuji said, his temper immediately broke out: "Duke Zhao, how dare you mention His Royal Highness the King of Chu? Wasn't he forced out of Chang'an by you?"

"..." Changsun Wuji didn't expect that Quan Wanji, a young man, would say such a thing in public, so he immediately frowned: "What do you mean that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was forced out of Chang'an by me?! Quan Wanji, you actually said such a thing today, are you crazy?!"

"I am too lazy to get entangled with you!" Hearing this, Quan Wanji glanced at Zhangsun Wuji with contempt, then turned to His Majesty Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say something that hurts your heart: At this point, do you still think that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will lead his army to attack Goguryeo just because you were deceived by Quan Gaisuwen? You know, he is newly married now, and it is-"

"Quan Wanji, I @#￥!" - It happened in a flash. Just when His Majesty Li II frowned and was about to reprimand Quan Wanji for his outrageous words, the figure that the ministers felt familiar yet unfamiliar appeared...

The King of Yan, Li You, who was always invisible in the court, suddenly jumped out and greeted the elders of Quan Wanji's family in public. Then, he leaped into the air and used the amazing kicking technique that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had kept secret...
