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

In the evening, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and Zhang Zhenxuan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion on time.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, His Majesty is waiting for you to have dinner." Yun Chang stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing His Highness, the King of Chu walking towards her with arrogant steps, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, your battle has shaken the world. I admire you very much."

"Yun Shang, we are all so familiar with each other, so stop flattering me all the time." His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed when he heard this, then came to Yun Shang and patted her on the shoulder: "How is it? Now that I am no longer in Chang'an, your life in the palace must be very boring."

"It's not bad actually." Yun Shang said with a smile, "Princess Jinyang and His Royal Highness Prince Jin are now quite like His Royal Highness in his youth."

“Hahahaha…” Hearing Yunchang praising Sizi and Zhinu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was naturally very happy: “Well, Yunchang, you are getting better and better at speaking.”

“I dare not, I dare not…” Yun Shang felt that she might have said something too secretive: “Your Highness, please.”

"There are no soldiers with swords and armor inside, right?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that this matter had to be asked in advance.

"How can that be possible..." Yun Shang said, and glanced at Zhang Zhenxuan who was standing behind King Chu: "Your Highness...it's you..."

"Yun Shang, I will be unhappy to hear what you are going to say next!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows Yun Shang too well.

"Then I won't say anything." Yun Shang did not disappoint King Chu's expectations.

So, a moment later, in the small courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Emperor Li II looked at his son eating heartily in front of him, and Zhang Zhenxuan sitting next to his son behaving politely, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

So, His Majesty Li II turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji, who was sitting on the other side with a stiff face, and said in a deep voice: "Wuji, why do I feel... a little hard to swallow..."

"You are not hungry enough!" Without waiting for Changsun Wuji to answer His Majesty Li Er's question, King Chu took a bite of the roasted partridge and looked at him playfully: "What's the matter? Is it because I am too ugly that it affects your appetite?"

"You bastard..." His Majesty Li Er sighed helplessly after hearing this: "I called you here today because I hope you can be with Wuji--"

"——Alas," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his hand and said, "Dad, at this point, you and I both know that some things are already a done deal and don't need to be announced."

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sun Wuji also showed resentment at this moment: "I am deeply grateful for your kindness!"

"It's not over yet." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately began to increase his intensity: "It will never be over in this lifetime."

"Are you done yet?" His Majesty Li Er frowned upon seeing this: "Wuji is your uncle after all."

"Heh... I dare to ask you the truth - if you were the son, facing such an uncle, would you be able to endure like a son until today?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu sneered when he heard this: "Don't make it seem like I am sorry for him!"

"..."

After His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, the courtyard fell into silence again.

How could His Majesty Li II not hear the grievance and anger, as well as... the hidden meaning, in his son's words.

As for Changsun Wuji, he had put away the dissatisfaction in his eyes at this moment - because he was keenly aware that a sharp gaze was sizing him up unscrupulously.

Zhang Zhenxuan, the rare Taoist genius and the future chief worshiper of the Dou family, still could not forget the various misdeeds of Changsun Wuji.

He really wanted to help His Royal Highness the King of Chu get rid of this "ugly and ambitious troublemaker".

"Okay..." After seeing that he had made a slight move and the situation had completely cooled down, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment and decided to try to liven up the atmosphere: "Dad, this may be the last time I dine with you, so...can we not talk about those unhappy things?"

"..." When Emperor Li II heard his son say this, he felt very sad: "So... you don't plan to follow me..."

"Dad, this time it's your turn to stop, right?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, and said in surprise, "I used to think that although we quarreled, we could still get by, but later you thought I was an eyesore - you tested me again and again, and even... Forget it, I don't want to say anything unpleasant. Anyway, things have come to this point today, how do I feel in my heart, you have been there, you should know - in a remote place like Qiongzhou, do you think I am willing to stay there?

Besides, Lian'er is frail. Ever since she became pregnant, I dared not let her leave Qiongzhou, but... Qiongzhou is hot and humid, and she is pregnant with her first child..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, he suddenly sighed, "Really, people should not always look at things from their own perspective, otherwise there will be problems.

Dad, I am willing to think from your perspective because you are my dad, not because you are the emperor.

But you never seem to stand in my shoes and consider me...

In other words, even from my perspective, you are still the King of Qin back then. I always feel that some things... should be like that...

You just think you are the emperor and I am just your subject." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he saw that His Majesty Li II had also put down his bowl and chopsticks, supported his knees with his hands, and said nothing with a stern face, so he sighed and continued: "I once tried to prove to you with my actions that in my eyes, the long-term plan of the country is far more important than my personal interests.

What a pity... The whole Chang'an City, even the whole Tang Dynasty, and the foreign races around the Tang Dynasty, everyone thinks that I am just a barbarian Chu King who wears Mingguang armor, rides a Dayuan horse, conquers endlessly, and kills endlessly. How can a person like me suddenly become a saint? "

When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he felt a sense of sadness welling up in his heart: Who could have known that the current glorious and majestic Tang Dynasty, with all nations coming to pay tribute, would actually lay the seeds of disaster for the future?

As a mere mortal, if I want to save the situation, I will be destined to embark on a path that is not understood by the world...

But...who can Li Kuan tell about this helplessness and sadness?

Perhaps... in this world, only the old Heavenly Master can understand me...
