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

"Duke Zhao, do you think this can help me calm down?" Cheng Yaojin felt relieved when he saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was so self-aware, so he turned around and looked at Zhangsun Wuji, waiting for the other party's next words.

"This matter... I am also at fault." Changsun Wuji now couldn't figure out why Cheng Yaojin wanted to come out halfway to help His Majesty solve his problems? It doesn't seem like it...

"Alas, Duke Zhao, what could you have done wrong?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened upon hearing this, as if he was indignant. "You have been following His Majesty since he was a teenager, and have made countless contributions to him. In terms of merit, who in the whole court can compare to you? So what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said before was that Duke Qiao and Princess Pingyang Zhao were busy with the country and neglected to teach their son. Those were all excuses. Why didn't they keep their son with them like Duke Zhao did? Right?"

"..." As soon as Cheng Yaojin said this, even Emperor Li II realized that the situation was not good.

As for Changsun Wuji, he was completely panicking at this moment - Cheng Yaojin was trying to flatter him to death! Not only was he trying to flatter him to death, but he was also trying to flatter him by using his reputation of stepping on Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang Zhao.

This fucking...

“Wuwuwu…” Chai Lingwu, an honest child, thought that Cheng Yaojin had betrayed him, so he cried even louder: “Uncle Cheng…you can’t do this…wuwuwu…Chu Mo and I are still good brothers…wuwuwu…My mother is gone, and my father has no real power…you all bully me…wuwuwu…I want to go back to Chang’an, I want to complain to my grandfather!”

"Uh..." Cheng Yaojin's expression was very complicated at this moment: he could see that Chai Lingwu was really sad, and there was no element of acting at all.

So... he doesn't have to continue to induce the other party to complain to the emperor.

"Lingwu, who dares to bully you when your uncle is here? Your uncle will take care of you!" After giving Cheng Yaojin a fierce look, Emperor Li II began to coax Chai Lingwu in a gentle voice: "Besides, you are already an adult, why are you still so crybaby?"

"Wuwuwu... I think of my mother... I can't help it!" Chai Lingwu became even more sad after hearing this: "Uncle... Uncle, don't lie to me - you let Zhangsun Wuji bully Kuan'er for so many years... Wuwu... Kuan'er is your biological son and you don't even bother to ask about him, and I'm just your nephew, how can you make the decision for me..."

"..." At this point, everyone present began to fall into a trance: they couldn't tell, they really couldn't tell - whether Chai Lingwu was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Well, maybe this kind of people are what the saying "great wisdom appears foolish" refers to.

"Boy, tell me clearly, who is bullying whom these years, me or His Royal Highness the King of Chu?!" Changsun Wuji knew that he should learn to shut up, but what Chai Lingwu said was too infuriating: "Who did I offend..."

"Alright! Wuji, stop talking." When His Majesty Li II heard Zhangsun Wuji say this, he immediately stopped him: "Let's forget about this matter. Wuji, after returning to the capital, you will personally go to Princess Pingyang Zhao's tomb to burn incense and apologize - as for Sichang... I will help you mediate."

"Your Majesty..." Changsun Wuji knew that this was the best possible outcome. So even though he felt wronged, he chose to swallow the bitter pill silently: "Your Majesty, thank you!"

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, look..." Cheng Yaojin suddenly walked down the stairs quickly, came to the front of His Highness, stretched out his hands, and held one of his hands: "Are you satisfied with this result?"

"This king..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt an itch in the palm of his hand: Then, he felt Cheng Yaojin quickly write the word "Chu" on the palm of his hand.

Ok? !

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, are you still not satisfied?" Seeing the other party was stunned, Cheng Yaojin immediately said with a straight face: "Duke Zhao is your uncle after all, and His Majesty also loves you very much, which is beyond words. How can you be so ungrateful?"

"..." Li Kuan felt that his brain was not enough at this moment.

But he quickly reacted: "Uncle Cheng, I know..."

"Oh! That's right!" Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin let go of the other's hand and retreated back to Emperor Li II.

"Well..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly wanted to laugh: "Dad... there is one thing I forgot to tell you before - the Queen of Silla died at the hands of Baekje Crown Prince Buyeo Yiji, so in order to save your face, I killed him and his father - Baekje King Buyeo Zhang together. This matter... you have to remember my kindness..."

"I'm thinking about it!" His Majesty Li II knew that Li Kuan's sudden joke was just to save face for both parties, so he thought about it and then said, "Come and have dinner with me tonight. I have something to talk to you alone."

"Okay, then my son will retreat first." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded when he heard this, then turned around and hugged Li Huairen and Chai Zhewei beside him: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

"Brother Kuan, wait for me!" Chai Lingwu didn't know why Li Kuan's attitude changed so quickly, but after a long time together, he chose to trust him unconditionally: "Remember to tell my father that I am much more filial than my eldest brother..."

"..." His Majesty Li II, Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others were standing at the gate, looking at Chai Lingwu who was wiping away his tears and quickly chasing after Li Kuan. Everyone suddenly felt very disgusted.

"Your Majesty, we...will take our leave." Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang also pulled Zhang Zhenxuan away.

Only Emperor Li II and his group of ministers were left, looking at each other in silence.

After a long while, the voice of His Majesty Li Er suddenly rang out: "Zhijie, you did a good job."

"It is the duty of us, as subjects, to share our lord's worries." Cheng Yaojin chuckled when he heard this.

"My lord?" Emperor Li II was surprised by this unusual title.

"Hehe... Your Majesty, please forgive me." Cheng Yaojin scratched his head when he heard this: "I just... suddenly remembered that the last time I shared the Lord's worries and gave advice was when Your Majesty was the King of Qin..."

"Haha..." His Majesty Li Er suddenly realized: "Zhijie, you... I almost forgot that you were once my counselor!"

"Hahahaha." As soon as His Majesty Li II said this, everyone burst into laughter.

This also includes Cheng Yaojin.
