Li Shimin felt warm in his heart as he looked at Cheng Sanlang who was looking at him intently, but considering his own plan, this kid was also an important chess piece.

If you really let this kid follow you from the beginning, you are worried that this kid will cause trouble, which will easily cause your plan to die prematurely.

Yes, if you put this kid among the enemies, the center will definitely blossom, but if you put this kid in your own base camp... tsk tsk...

Therefore, Li Shimin waved his hand and said cheerfully to this Cheng family double-edged sword that could hurt others and himself even if he was not careful.

"My dear son-in-law, I understand that you can have this kind of intention. However, you have important tasks and cannot leave Luoyang lightly."

"You stay in Luoyang first and continue to plan the important tasks I have entrusted to you."

In the end, Li Shimin did not agree to Cheng Sanlang's request to follow him northward, and drove him away with good words.

After Cheng Sanlang, who was muttering quietly to himself, left, Li Shimin let out a long sigh of relief.

Rubbing his brows, thinking about it for a long time, he finally asked. "Zhao Kun, do you think it's better to let this kid stay or follow him?"

Zhao Kun thought carefully for a blink of an eye. "I am stupid and I really can't figure it out. How does your Majesty think it is best to deal with it? That is really the best thing."

Haha, even to death I would not be able to answer this kind of question. Who can guarantee that this kid will cause some trouble?

"You kid, you're playing tricks on me too." Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his finger and point at Zhao Kun, laughing and scolding him.

After thinking for a long time, I finally thought it would be better to let Cheng Sanlang stay. Anyway, this guy is very smart, so he will be fine.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin sighed softly. "Remember to ask the Sixth Prince to accompany you, but I don't want to see him."

"I understand." Zhao Kun nodded understandingly, knowing how to deal with it.

Just send a team of guards alone and hang the sixth prince Li You behind the team.

Cheng Chubi and Li Ke rode horses side by side, but Li Ke's expression looked extremely ugly.

Cheng Sanlang on the side kept comforting his good brother.

"Okay, okay, what a big deal, your father wants you to go to Honglu Temple to be a young minister, but he doesn't want you to go to Honglu Temple to be a master."

"Brother Chu Bi, do you know that you are harming people?" Li Ke said heartbrokenly.

"I didn't expect that, little brother, I just won't accompany you to the palace, but you are so harmful to me. How can you still be considered a human being?"

"Before you plotted against my little brother, have you ever thought about our brothers' friendship over so many years?"

Cheng Chubi faced Li Ke's accusation, with a gentle and harmless smile on his face, and spoke sincerely.

"My dear brother, you can't say that. I am here to recommend talents to the country. People like you, my dear brother, are good at dancing, have high emotional intelligence and speak well.

If you don't go to Honglu Temple to deal with those foreign envoys, you are simply wasting your time and life."

"What's more important is that with your distinguished brother, His Highness the King of Wu, who has such an excellent reputation standing at the front desk, I can operate secretly from behind."

"If I stand up directly for my brother's sake, it will easily alert the people of the three countries on the peninsula and the Japanese country. Don't you think so?"

Listening to Brother Chu Bi's fly-like chatter in his ears, Li Ke felt extremely tired.

This is not like a brother wearing a pair of pants, he is simply a despicable person who wants to stab himself all the time.

Although I often do this, the feeling of suffering a loss for myself is different from that of others.

Lu Siqing of Honglu Temple was sipping tea in the public room and admiring the tribute gift list.

These are all kinds of rare treasures that various countries paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, although these things have long been familiar to him, the minister of Honglu Temple.

But after all, it is still very satisfying every time I see those Tibetan envoys nodding and bowing, smiling and looking cautious on their faces.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was dressed like a Tang Dynasty man, but whose stature was a bit... a bit malnourished, walked into the public house under the guidance of an official.

Then, without waiting for the official to greet him, he made a very pious bow to Lu Siqing, who was sitting high on the table.

"My subordinate Jishi Xiongmaru, under the orders of our Lord, traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to pay tribute to the Heavenly Kingdom..."

This short man with graying beard and hair had a rather loud voice. What was more important was that he spoke a very standard Guanzhong accent, which really made Lu Siqing show a faint look of relief on his face.

But when the official took over the certificate of credence and the tribute gift list from the Japanese envoy who was so eloquent and had a lotus-tongued tongue.

As soon as Lu Siqing took it, his face sank slightly and he frowned displeased. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of noise coming from outside the house.

Lu Siqing became increasingly unhappy and glared at the official, who quickly walked out of the house, shouting loudly as he walked.

"Who dares to make noise and noise here... I will see His Highness the King of Wu and Xiao Cheng Taibao..."

"???" When Lu Siqing heard these two notorious titles, his expression suddenly froze, and he subconsciously took a look, confirming that this was really Honglu Temple, and felt a little more courageous.

He stood up with a groan and walked straight out of the house. The Japanese envoy Yoshi Yuumaro stood there with a confused look on his face. Your Highness came here to take a stroll?

#####

When Lu Siqing stood outside the public house, he saw His Royal Highness King Wu, who had a beautiful face but a beer belly, walking towards him.

Behind him was the even more notorious Cheng Sanlang, the leader of the younger generation of the Cheng family.

I saw these two people actually jumping onto their own territory, and they were as relaxed and carefree as if they were hanging out in their own backyard.

Lu Siqing suddenly felt a surge of anger rising upwards.

But when these two people wandered in front of them, Lu Siqing felt that there was no need for him to be familiar with these two monster moths.

After all, there are many precedents, as evidenced by the tragic conflict between these two guys.

"I have met His Highness King Wu and Taibao Xiao Cheng. May I ask why you two came to the official residence of Honglu Temple?"

"If it's for official business, please show me the official letter."

Seeing Lu Siqing's look of wanting to get angry but trying to hold it in, Li Ke almost burst into laughter.

Fortunately, he understood that he had to deal with the officials of Honglu Temple these days, and he must not offend people to death like Brother Chu Bi did.

"The little king has met Lu Siqing. The little king has come to Honglu Temple to take up his post on the order of his father. By the way, there is an edict from His Majesty, and I would like to ask Lu Siqing to take over the edict."
