Chapter 1023: Avoid the Blame
"Don't look at me like that..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't know whether he should praise Gangzi for being thoughtful or not: "This is really not what I taught you..."
"Ahem... ahem..." Yuchi Gong admired the honest personality of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu the most: "Your Highness, I think... a routine like this of showing off one's power before the opening... is acceptable."
"Is it possible?" Upon hearing what Yuchi Gong said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately turned his gaze towards his tyrant father.
"..." His Majesty Li II really didn't want to continue the conversation, but he couldn't help but express his opinion, so he thought about it and said, "How about I chop the man off now?"
"Ah! That's right!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu clapped his hands and sighed: "Your Majesty finally has the demeanor of a wise ruler!"
"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's words shocked everyone present.
No... Your Highness the Prince of Chu... Do you really think so?
"Ahem..." Cheng Yaojin saw that His Majesty Li Er was about to get up from his seat, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness the King of Chu, what you said is right. Although Quan Gaisuwen was defeated, he is not completely useless..."
"How could he fail so completely if he is not completely useless?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu frowned when he heard this.
"Your Highness, that's because you are so brave." Cheng Yaojin really knows how to play the supporting role: "Look, originally we were fighting with your majesty and this villain, and it was hard to tell who would win, but when your Highness arrived with your troops, the outcome was decided in the blink of an eye."
"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded approvingly: "Uncle Cheng, what you said makes sense! It turns out that I am the one who is powerful..."
Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was telling the truth.
But this truth was a bit harsh to the ears of other ministers.
Of course, when it comes to Emperor Li II, it is heartbreaking.
"Quan Gaisuwen," seeing that if Li Kuan continued to make trouble, Quan Gaisuwen would lose his head, so His Majesty Li II simply ignored the crazy suggestion of a certain boy and decided to give Quan Gaisuwen a chance: "I ask you, what else do you have to say now?"
As Emperor Li II finished his questioning, Qu Changsun very tactfully bypassed Yuan Tiangang, came to Quan Gaisuwen, and pulled the rag out of his mouth.
"..." Although the rag on his mouth was removed, the rag in his heart was still there, so after Quan Gaisuwen looked up at the back of His Royal Highness the King of Chu standing in front of him, he slowly said: "My failure today is not a sin of war... Li Shimin, I didn't lose to you, but to the King of Chu!"
"How dare you!" Changsun Wuji did not expect that Quan Gaisuwen, who had been beaten by Li Kuan's retainers, could actually say such words: "Quan Gaisuwen... I think you really don't plan to live!"
"Duke Zhao is wrong." The one who suddenly spoke at this time was Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who marched more than a thousand miles from Pyongyang to Anshi in ten days, we would not have won this battle so easily when we were outnumbered and attacked from both sides. But here, I still need to correct one thing. Quan Gaisuwen, what you lost to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was not just the outcome of a war, but also the level of being a human being - His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's benevolent and filial behavior is something that even I cannot compare to..."
After Li Xiaogong said this, Quan Gaisuwen's expression changed for a while, and he suddenly looked up at His Majesty Li II above him, and then said with sarcasm: "Li Shimin, on this point... I must admit defeat to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, and you... I'm afraid you don't even have the qualifications to admit defeat..."
"..." His Majesty Li II now feels that he should not have shown off his ability before - a hero like Quan Gaisu Wen would not bother to be someone else's lackey.
"It's bad..." Just when His Majesty Li II was feeling overwhelmed with emotion, his eldest son, the noble-minded Prince Chu, finally discovered that something was wrong: "This is aimed at me..."
"Your Highness... this is my fault. I should have killed him just now!" Yuan Tiangang originally thought that he was loyal enough by taking action against Quan Gaisuwen directly before, but he found that in some things, no matter how many times you practice, you can't beat those talented players with amazing talents - for example, now, when Zhang Zhenxuan said this, Yuan Tiangang knew that in the future, the position of Dou's chief worshiper would only be Zhang Zhenxuan.
“Oh, how can you be blamed for this kind of thing?” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw that Zhang Zhenxuan felt a little guilty at the moment, and immediately waved his hand at him and said, “In front of His Majesty, we small characters should not be too overbearing in our words and deeds. Even though this prince knows what kind of person Quan Gaisuwen is and does not intend to let him open his mouth, but His Majesty feels that as the ‘Heavenly Khan’, the invisible light emanating from his body can influence him, so we can only stand aside with full of sorrow and watch the joke silently…”
"..."
At this time, everyone in the hall, except Quan Gaisuwen and Xue Rengui, who was "twenty-something years old that year and didn't know anything", had only one thought in their minds after listening to the wonderful speech of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, which could be regarded as a direct mockery: Who said that Qiongzhou couldn't sleep on firewood and taste gall?
Your Highness the King of Chu's mouth... is really like Gou Jian's...
"You bastard!" His Majesty Li Er suddenly realized that since his son appeared in Anshi City and won a great victory for him, his majesty as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty may have reached a higher level, but his personal face... seemed... to have been lost several times: "When did I stop letting you give me advice?"
"When I open my mouth, you can't tell." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu curled his lips upon hearing this: "--You can't tell whether the advice I give is advice or slander. However...when this kind of problem occurs...I think it is because you, as the emperor, lack the ability to judge people, not because I am stupid."
"That's why I'm stupid?" His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he laughed: "Why didn't I realize that Your Highness the Prince of Chu is so eloquent before?"
"Nothing is better than this, nothing is better than this!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed when he heard this. Even if others could guess what he meant by "Nothing is better than this", no one dared to say it out loud.
Anyway, you and your son are fighting like gods. Who would be willing to get involved except Changsun Wuji, a gambler who is desperate and desperate to lose?
Ah... By the way, the little Taoist priest beside His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and Yuan Tiangang who has suddenly become stronger, might also be willing...
Well, looking at it this way... His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is very powerful...
So, Your Majesty...will you avoid the attack?
This may be a question that deserves serious consideration by everyone...
