Chapter 1046 The Best Thing in the World
"Silly boy, the fact that you can say such things shows that you are not really smart." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Chinu, in the future, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier than that of your other brothers, so you have to learn more than them.
Therefore, my second brother doesn’t want you to attract other people’s attention too early. That’s not a good thing, really…” What’s more, His Royal Highness the King of Chu never intended to let his brothers and sisters experience any storms—he, as the second brother, is not a decoration.
“Second brother…” Although Zhinu didn’t quite understand what his second brother said, he could feel his brother’s good intentions: “I’ll listen to you.
But can we make a deal?"
"What are you going to do?" King Chu took a look at his drunken fat brother, and saw Huairen had already taken Lingwu to help carry him to the guest room. So he turned around and said to his stinky brother who was looking forward to it, "As long as it's not too much, Second Brother will--"
"Brother, I want to live in your house!"
"——That's what I said." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu twitched his lips when he heard this: "Your request is a bit excessive."
"Second brother, you can't forget about your younger brother just because you got married!" Zhinu has always known that his status in his second brother's eyes is not just a little lower than that of Sizi, so he must fight for this "honor" for himself, otherwise he will not be able to hold his head up in front of Sizi: "Who was I in your bedroom before!"
"How dare you say that?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed, "How many times did Yao Ji and Cheng Xin change the bed you wet without telling me? You think I don't know, right?"
"Uh..." Zhinu was stunned at first, then glanced at Li Ke and Fang Yiai who were already laughing, and said in an embarrassed tone: "Don't pay attention to such trivial matters, second brother..."
"Go to the Taoist temple and learn some health-care methods from Taoist Sun. It will be useful to you." Seeing that his brother was a little stubborn, His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought about it and decided not to be too unkind: "How about this, every three days, my second brother will allow you one day off and send someone to take you back to the palace to live."
"Then... pinky promise?" Zhinu stretched out her little finger when she heard that.
“……” King Chu had no choice but to do as he was told when he saw this.
At this time, the dinner was coming to an end.
"Zhi Nu, go look after your fourth brother. Xiao Ke, come with me." As His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stood up, the servants of the Dou family who were toasting each other in the hall stopped what they were doing one by one and looked at their patriarch in unison.
"Hanzhang, Xuan Ce, Gangzi, the three of you follow me." His Royal Highness the King of Chu named three people and then started to walk out.
Zhang Zhenxuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the corner, now quietly stood up and followed the King of Chu.
Everyone has long been accustomed to his appearance.
A moment later, in the study of the palace.
"Uncle Dou, Lord Xie, I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." After the Prince of Chu opened the door of the study, the two Dou family members, one standing and one sitting, smiled slightly and then said, "Xiao Ke."
"Li Ke greets Lord Dou and Lord Xie." Although Li Ke was a prince, it should be the two of them who should pay their respects to him.
But since his second brother asked him to do so, he would gladly do it.
"Oh, it's really His Highness the King of Shu who is 'Dragon Eyes and Wind Neck' hey - more... um..." At this time, Xie Minlin was standing next to the bookshelf, playing with a coral ornament. Seeing that the King of Chu was about to lift up his sleeves, he immediately reminded him kindly, "Your Highness, there seems to be some dirt on your sleeves..."
"..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had to stop his actions, but then he said to Dou Shilun who was sitting at the desk, "Dou Shuer, I want to take the opportunity of uniting Tubo, Xueyantuo, and Tuyuhun to fight against Tianzhu and destroy them all. What do you think?"
"Your Highness, you are too impatient." Although Dou Shilun and Xie Minlin knew that Li Kuan had specially sent people to invite them to discuss something, it must be a big deal, but the fact that he was going to destroy four countries in a row, and they were not ordinary small countries, to be honest...
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's ideas seemed too passionate to them.
"Your Highness, we just finished fighting Goguryeo and Baekje in the north." Wang Hanzhang was born into a family of five surnames and seven noble families, and had read classics, history, and miscellaneous books since childhood. In his opinion, His Highness the King of Chu's past heroic achievements, any one of which would be glorious for eternity. So Wang Hanzhang didn't understand why His Highness the King of Chu was so eager to make achievements, especially in the current situation where his popularity was so high that it was like boiling oil on a raging fire.
"That battle was not satisfying at all!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu summed up his bad experience in the north in one sentence: "If I were not afraid of that incompetent monarch getting into trouble, I would have performed better! Of course, this is not important. What is important is - Hanzhang, if we don't act quickly and urge Tubo, Tuyuhun and Xueyantuo to fall into the trap, then this alliance that I forced them to agree to earlier may never be fulfilled..."
"Your Highness, are you worried that after analyzing the current situation in the world, Lu Dongzan and Yosuha will choose to hide on the plateau for self-preservation?" Xie Minlin, as the number one strategist left by Empress Taimu to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, can always point out the problem at such a critical moment: "Well... if it was just Yosuha... then things would probably go like this.
But with Lu Dongzan here, that may not be the case."
"Xie Gong, you really understand me!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed and said, "That bastard Lu Dongzan is born to like gambling - this is his nature as a tyrant.
If the Tang Dynasty forms an alliance with them, conquering India is a foregone conclusion.
What he had to consider was whether he could successfully defend his achievements after taking over India.
As long as the Tibetans are given enough land to produce food, they will have nothing to worry about.
In this way, Tubo might be depressed for a hundred years or so, but the poor daughter-in-law will always get through it.
By then, Tubo will have hope of turning things around. "When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he saw that his own Dou Shu'er was looking at him with a look of relief, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Dou Shu'er, it's not the first day you know that I'm so powerful..."
"I just feel that..." Dou Shilun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he said softly: "I am so lucky to have accompanied Your Highness all the way to today. Even if I go downstairs to see the old lady in the future, I can pat my chest and say to her: Shilun has lived up to your trust after all..."
Dou Shilun's voice became choked with sobs as he finished speaking: "Your Highness, I have lost my composure a little bit..."
"Dou Shuer..." At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, looking at the relative in front of him who had accompanied him all the way, he suddenly realized that over the years, the other party was not only a loyal servant who had protected him growing up, but also a tolerant elder who always said little but did a lot, who always indulged him to "do things foolishly occasionally, often occasionally". His existence was the proof that his long-deceased kind grandmother had always loved him deeply.
With this thought in mind, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly strode to Dou Shilun, then half-knelt down, stretched out his hand to grab the other's arm, and stopped the other's intention to stand up: "Dou Shuer, after this battle, let's find time to go back to Chang'an and have a good chat with grandmother, how about that?"
"Okay!" Dou Shilun smiled with tears in his eyes after hearing this: "For me, there is nothing better in this world..."
