After a tired day, when Li Kuan returned to his palace, it was already the time to hold the lamp, the dusk dusk shrouded the sky, and the tired birds returning to the nest left a lonely figure in the sky. Li Kuan rode on horseback, surrounded by a group of princes who had done farm work for a day like him, the younger ones riding in carriages, and a few older ones riding horses. Li Chengqian walked side by side with him, with Li Tai behind him. They walked very slowly, Li Er had already returned to the palace first, and they, the princes, came back alone. Originally, Li Kuan was going to leave first, but he was stopped by Li Chengqian.

"Second brother, say a word from your heart to Brother Wei, what do you think of my Tang Dynasty?" Li Chengqian really didn't understand Li Kuan, saying that he really had a heart for the Tang Dynasty, this guy actually dared to leave directly, and even didn't see anyone for a year and a half, without the slightest news, but fortunately Li Er was open-minded, or very confident in this son, and kept it silent. But if he really doesn't care about him, but from time to time he does something that makes people suspicious. Just like today, he directly grabbed the middle rope, and in these subtle places, people felt that he completely regarded himself as the heir of the Tang Dynasty. This made Li Chengqian want to give up his hostility to him all the time, but he had to guard against it.

"Tang Jiangshan? It's hard to say! Of course, I hope that the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of generations. It's just ......" Li Kuan felt that this possibility was very small, because the power in this world is the biggest corrosive product, and it is the people's hearts that are corrupted. A family holding the greatest authority in the world can really keep the vigilance all the time? Unmoved by this prosperity. Don't fall? It's really hard, even if it can be maintained at the beginning, but it will be passed down from generation to generation. It is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous descendants, and the foundation of the ancestors will be completely destroyed.

"Lone is saying that the second brother wants to sit on the throne!" As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone was shocked on the spot. Because no one would have thought that the prince of the Tang Dynasty would say such a thing on such an occasion. Who would admit this kind of thing to their face? But this is also the pulse that Li Chengqian has never been able to understand Li Kuan. I had to do this, because Li Kuan gave him the greatest threat, and he was the most stabbed in the back. If he didn't figure it out, then he really couldn't sleep, and he had asked about such things before. While Li Kuan's answer reassured him, his actions made him fearful.

Li Kuan is different from him, Li Chengqian has been directly established as the crown prince since Li Er ascended the throne. Therefore, he is destined to come into contact with more of those things in the Tang Dynasty, and he has seen too many intrigues and tricks in the court. It is most common to say one thing to your face and do another behind your back. Therefore, it is difficult for him to fully believe Li Kuan's words. As for Li Kuan, Li Er has always been laissez-faire to him. Then he rarely has these fancy intestines. In addition, he has spent most of his time in the army in the past few years, and most of the contacts he has with are direct generals in the army. It is destined that he will not think about so many twists and turns, and he will drop ten times with one force, as long as his strength is strong enough, then all the conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds. Just like now, although Li Kuan has not done anything, Li Chengqian, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is afraid of him.

"I won't be an emperor in this country, this is what my father and I both said. Big brother, you just have to put your heart in your stomach. No matter when, I won't do such a drudgery as this emperor! Li Kuan said nonchalantly.

"That being the case. So what is your performance today? Li Chengqian asked again.

"What performance? What are you talking about? Li Kuan was confused, he didn't just pull the plow for a day today, how could he behave. If the hard work is also a performance, then going to the construction site of the Ministry of Industry to see those craftsmen who are working is not the most profitable!

"Don't you know that in such a day when all the nobles are there, your every move is a signal? You actually went straight to pull the middle rope today, you don't know what it represents? Li Chengqian was stunned. He never thought that Li Kuan would answer like this, was he pretending to be stupid?

"The rope in the middle? Isn't it better to exert force there? You don't want to think about it, if I hadn't pulled the middle one today, and it was you, I'm afraid we would still be struggling in that field now! Li Ke's kid escaped, can you pull it alone? Li Kuan looked like a matter of course.

"This ......" Li Chengqian was a little speechless, thinking about it carefully, it was really true, only when he was facing Li Er, in front of Li Er, it was best to work hard. And except for Li Kuan, the rest of the princely brothers, Li Tai don't count on it, Li You, Li Su. These are all little kids, and they can't be counted on. Is this really a coincidence? Li Chengqian was skeptical, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Okay, it's your business if you want to sit on the throne, don't drag me in, I just want to go to the Western Regions to see, that's where I can show my strength. If I wanted to, I would go and lay a trail...... Haha......" Li Kuan laughed, then waved his horsewhip, and chased the clouds and galloped directly with his four hooves, leaving a trail of yellow dust and disappearing into the twilight of dusk. Only Li Chengqian was left stunned on the side, and there was a group of princes behind him who were not stunned by Li Kuan's last sentence.

Back to his palace, Li Kuan first asked Tianxiang to make the bath water, he had to wash first, this day's farm work was done, although it was not very tired, but it did get muddy, and it was not very comfortable not to wash.

Soon the two maids prepared the bath water, and Li Kuan took a comfortable bath, then put on his clothes and prepared for dinner. At this time, two carriages came to the palace gate. The carriage was very ordinary, not flashy at all, and it stopped directly in front of Li Kuan's palace. Then three people walked down from the carriage, and the three people walked straight to the door of Li Kuan's palace, and then reached out and picked up the knocker and knocked on it, and the knocking sound came into the palace.

The porter opened the door and was surprised to see the three of them. These three people are none other than the three national teachers of the Tang Dynasty, the three national teachers came together, the porter really didn't know what the situation was, but he still asked them to wait very quickly, and he hurriedly ran to the depths of the mansion to report this to Li Kuanyu.

Li Kuan, who was eating, heard that the three great teachers came together, and immediately knew that this matter was a little tricky, these three were the representatives of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, and they actually came to him directly and openly like this, so what was the matter, Li Kuan immediately understood clearly, it must be a matter of worshipping the heavens today. These old guys want to save the country, but Li Kuan doesn't want to get involved in all this, how can he refuse?

"Let them in!" After Li Kuan thought about it, he still let the three of them come in first, so that keeping them out of the door was not a solution. Let's see what these three old guys want to do first, and if it's troublesome, then just refuse.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Lao Dao is here to disturb again!" Last time, Yuan Shoucheng came to Li Kuan and invited him to participate in the water and land puja, but he was directly rejected by Li Kuan. This is the second time he has visited in a month. Although the relationship is a little stiff, but for the sake of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, he still came, and if he didn't come, he couldn't do it, because if it continued like this, if these old guys passed away, then what should the two families of Buddhism and Taoism do? At this time, the interests of the two families were the same, but what Yuan Shoucheng and they never imagined was that the Buddhist family actually had a trick, but no one knew at this time. When that monk returns, the living environment of the Buddhists in the Tang Dynasty will change a lot, and it will be even more difficult for the Taoists to survive.

"Okay, this king doesn't want to get involved in these things, you are looking for the wrong person, national teacher! Buddhism and Taoism have always had no good feelings, what persuade people to be good, why don't you go to those foreign places, let those natives, barbarians, let them also be good? Those alien races have been eyeing the Central Plains, but you don't dissuade them, but have been persuading what kind of cultivation in the Tang Dynasty, is it not enough that the Tang Dynasty men have died on the battlefield? You want to develop, but after joining your two Buddhist and Taoist families, you will no longer be the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even the Buddhist family actually forbids marrying wives and having children, so I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will no longer have any soldiers to fight in the future! The three of you tell me, what is the effect of such two schools of Buddhism and Taoism on my Tang Empire? Li Kuan asked.

"This ...... Do the over-the-top souls, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and speculating on the fortunes of the country count? The great monk replied with his hands folded.

"Revenant...... Hehe...... There really is a past life and this life, so who are you reincarnated, master? Where will you be born in the next life? If all of my Tang Dynasty believed in Buddhism, then there would be no newborns, and how would the master be born? Li Kuan sneered.

"Taoism, the art of alchemy can lead to immortality...... Cultivating in this life can turn into an immortal! Zhang Daoqin also replied out loud.

"Since he can become an immortal, why is the Taoist so persistent in hoping that a few more people will become monks and inherit the Dao system? After becoming an immortal, you must live with heaven and earth, so what kind of Taoism is on you, what other heirs do you need? When is there time, isn't it the same? Why be in such a hurry? Li Kuan sneered again, these people are all unreliable.

"So, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Lao Dao knows that your powerful explosives were originally discovered by my Taoist, can such an ability be used by the Tang Dynasty?" Yuan Shoucheng seemed to see something and changed the subject. No longer talk about becoming immortals, cultivating illusory things like the afterlife and this life, just talk about some simple things.

"Huh...... Do you think you can make explosives by refining those lead and mercury pills indiscriminately? You've made nothing more than the simplest black powder, and most of them are random blind cats and dead mice. Why would this king use such a pure gamble of luck? Li Kuan still refused coldly, these three old guys really had nothing to impress him. (To be continued......)
