"Why does His Royal Highness the King of Chu refuse people thousands of miles away like this?" Yuan Shoucheng was a little stupid, he knew that this prince was a maverick master, but he didn't expect him to refuse so simply. This made him have no place to put his old face away, as one of the three most representative people of the two Tang Buddhism and Taoism, it is already the highest etiquette to come in person. Fortunately, no one saw it when he came, and he could only comfort himself in his heart, but he did not expect that there were so many eyewitnesses in this courtyard.

"This king has made up his mind, and the national teacher still doesn't need to say more, why bother with that lip and tongue!" Li Kuan didn't have the slightest idea of changing his mind, and went to participate in this festival, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had already been wary of himself in his heart, might think that he was co-opting the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, causing unnecessary turmoil. Although he doesn't care, Datang can't afford to toss like this, and the ups and downs in the court will set off huge waves among the people, which is the same no matter what dynasty it is.

"In that case, I hope His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not regret it! The original child's play-like gambling contract, I'm afraid the old way ......" Yuan Shoucheng proposed the gambling contract between him and Li Kuan, and he agreed to Li Kuan at that time to meet one of Li Kuan's conditions.

"This king is not uncommon now, and the promise of the national teacher is not uncommon!" Since Yuan Shoucheng said this, Li Kuan has nothing to say, even if he is a transcendent national teacher, in fact, he is just an ordinary man chasing interests, this Li Kuan has always been very clear, as for the promise, unless this thing is a sincere and sincere party, it is just a piece of paper. Obviously, Yuan Shoucheng and Li Kuan have not yet reached the point where they can trust each other, this national teacher always has to consider the interests of Taoism, but Li Kuan does not want the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism to occupy too many resources. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

"Then the old way is gone!" Yuan Shoucheng left unceremoniously, and he obviously saw that Li Kuan was completely perfunctory to her. When I was talking to him, I was still giving things to those children, and I really felt very insulted.

"Don't send it!" Li Kuan is also welcome. Li Kuan was reluctant to have a stiff fight with Yuan Shoucheng, but this old guy obviously didn't have a good heart, this was to drag him into the water, and Li Kuan would not give him a good face.

"The prince has arrived!" A sharp shout came in from outside the mansion, interrupting the discordant conversation between Li Kuan and Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Shoucheng's steps that had already been taken, also stopped at this moment, he didn't expect the prince to come to the mansion of the king of Chu at this time. This is something that has never been considered, haven't these two brothers always been discordant, why is the prince actually coming at this time today!

"Brother Prince is here! Second brother, hurry up and hide these things! He's a big bad guy who wants to grab everything! "Yu Zhang and Gao Yang, the two little guys, began to shout at this time, the two of them are rampant and domineering in the palace, and it is really a strange thing that they are afraid of Li Chengqian. In fact, this is a long story. At the beginning, Li Kuan left the capital and went to Cangzhou, and Li Chengqian in Chang'an City could be said to be no one who could compete with him, coupled with the support of the eldest grandson Wuji. As a result, Li Chengqian's power is expanding more and more, and even more than half of the officials above the court have already stood on his side. The same is true in the imperial palace, Li Chengqian has more and more the momentum of a superior. There is no room for anyone to disobey him.

It just so happened that one day, Yuzhang and Gao Yang, two little guys, went to greet the eldest grandson, and then took a fancy to a very cute plush toy. Empress Eldest Sun gave this plush toy to the two of them very generously, but after leaving Empress Eldest Sun's bedroom. The two sisters had a dispute over the ownership of the toy in the Imperial Garden, and they all refused to let each other go and even pulled, although it was just like frolicking, but they were also shouting loudly.

Coincidentally, Li Chengqian passed by here at this time, and saw the two sisters pushing and arguing with each other, so he walked over directly, confiscated the plush toy they were fighting for, and taught the two of them a lesson. This made the two little girls keep it in mind, and remembered that the prince is a guy who likes to grab things, especially plush toys, at this time, the second brother has so many fluffy furs here, these are what the prince likes to snatch, and they must be hidden.

"Let's go, let's go and greet him, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Kuan didn't care, there was actually not much gap between him and Li Chengqian, but some people have always had strong ambitions in their hearts, so they were unwilling to sit down and talk to each other openly and honestly, and they kept speculating on their own, and constantly hinting to themselves that the other party was a powerful opponent, and they had always refused to let down their guard. Li Kuan didn't have so many ideas, so naturally he didn't regard Li Chengqian as an enemy, so he dared to face it directly like this, even if Yuan Shoucheng was still standing beside him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually here, it's really a rare guest!" Li Kuan walked out of the door and looked at Li Chengqian, who was still on the gorgeous carriage, this cheap big brother has now grown up, and he has already married a prince concubine last year, and he will officially marry the crown princess this year. can be regarded as the first among the brothers to start a family, needless to say, Li Kuan doesn't want to start a family so early, being tired of family affairs will distract him, just like now, you can go wherever you want, don't care so much.

"Haha...... Brother Wang's words are wrong, Brother Wang has not been in the capital for a long time, even if he has the heart to move around, he has nowhere to find it! Li Chengqian stepped out of the carriage, dressed in a gorgeous dragon gown, on which the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread loomed between the clouds and mist, shining brilliantly in the sun, like a real dragon hovering above the nine heavens. Li Chengqian's stature is not short, needless to say Li Er, the eldest grandson queen is also tall, and she can be said to be superior among women. Therefore, although Li Chengqian does not have an eight-foot body like Li Kuan, he has already exceeded seven feet. At this time, he stepped out of the carriage, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, his nose was like a hanging gall, the corners of his mouth were lightly pursed, and his hair was neatly combed, as if he had beaten a pound of lard, and he was as oily as if he had beaten a pound of lard, and I was afraid that the flies would not be able to stand. Of course, such hair could not have fluttered in the wind. And what Li Chengqian wants is such an effect, as the prince of a country, he wants to be as steady as Mount Tai, not free and easy to flutter in the wind. At this time, although he had a smile on his face, Li Kuan could see it clearly, and in his eyes, he was looking at Yuan Shoucheng, an old Taoist priest who was still in the courtyard and had not left.

"Lao Dao has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yuan Shoucheng made a joke, not abrupt at all, as if he should have been here in the first place.

"I didn't expect the National Teacher to be there, it's really worth the trip!" Li Chengqian said meaningfully. He was very curious in his heart now, this time he didn't come out of interest, but after learning that Yuan Shoucheng actually came to Li Kuan's mansion, he came on purpose. Because he and Li Er both know that the two families of Buddhism and Taoism have actually become a roadblock to the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty, because the land annexation of the world is the most serious of the family and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, in the first two years, the family gradually withdrew, but the two families of Buddhism and Taoism are still expanding, although Li Er has limited the distribution of the annual degree, but these monks and Taoists are all ghosts and ghosts, and they are all troubled and separated. They are all legal monks with a degree, a temple with a few monks, a Taoist temple with several Taoist priests, after the family is separated, they will build another temple or Taoist temple on the nearby mountain, so that the land they can occupy will be invisibly expanded many times.

This made the imperial court have to bother to deal with it, but it did not dare to directly send troops to suppress it, because these monks and Taoists have surrounded the surrounding people, and the rent for the land of the temple and Taoist temple is much lower than the tax paid by the imperial court.

Therefore, if the imperial court forcibly expropriates the fields of monasteries and Taoist temples, these people will not agree, which is also where Li Er and Li Chengqian have a headache. Now Yuan Shoucheng actually went to find Li Kuan, and after Li Chengqian got the news, he hurriedly came, because he knew that his brother was actually not a peaceful person, and he had been accumulating strength. At that time, it was even more difficult, because Li Er and he had always suspected that Li Kuan was actually a secret school that was inseparable from Taoism.

"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say, Lao Dao's trip is just to fulfill the promise he made to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Yuan Shoucheng really lied and didn't make drafts, and he had a falling out with Li Kuan just now, saying that the promise didn't count, but now he directly took it out as a shield. It's just that this is not a mistake, because he also mentioned that promise when he fell out with Li Kuan just now.

"I don't know what kind of conditions this brother Wang proposed to the national teacher?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, he didn't believe Yuan Shoucheng's words, if there was nothing boring, this old Taoist priest who was not even lazy to get out of the door would run to Li Kuan in such a hurry!

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, ask Lao Dao to do a festival for those former Sui soldiers who have just returned from Goryeo!" Yuan Shoucheng took the opportunity to return Li Kuan's favor, and left Li Kuan with nothing to say.

"Really?" Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Li Kuan.

"Indeed it is! Why, Big Brother doesn't believe it? Or does the eldest brother think that there is any shady collusion between the two families of Buddhism and Taoism and the younger brother? Li Kuan's eyes narrowed, and an invisible momentum emanated from him, and in an instant, an invisible cold feeling enveloped him, making people's hearts chill after a moment. Even at that moment, Li Chengqian felt as if he had fallen into the Shura Purgatory, as if there was an endless sea of corpses and blood around him, and countless corpses were all over the world, even the sky was blood-red. (To be continued......)
