Chapter 1053: The King of Chu in the Records of the Grand Historian is Terribly Strong
"Your Highness, has His Majesty agreed?" That night, Wang Xuance was called to the study room of the palace by His Highness King Chu. He took the imperial edict handed to him by the other party. After reading it, he did not show any joy. Instead, he felt worried about it: "In my opinion, we still have to be cautious..."
"We have to be cautious." His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was holding a volume of "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of General Li", nodded and said, "But what I am worried about now is that this foolish king intends to let Uncle Li come out of retirement and let him lead the army to pacify Tuyuhun. As for Tubo... he wants to ask for my opinion first."
"Your Highness plans to use Su Dingfang?" Wang Xuance knew His Highness the King of Chu too well - this gentleman had always kept Su Dingfang in Gaochang just for this day.
"Well, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingyan are almost going crazy in Gaochang City. It's time to let these two tigers out." The Prince of Chu was halfway through his words when Fang Yiai's voice suddenly rang out from outside the study: "Brother Kuan, can I come in?"
"When did this kid become so disciplined?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't help but smile at Wang Xuance, and then raised his voice to the outside: "Come in! My good brother-in-law!"
"Ha... Kuan Ge'er..." Fang Yiai, now a man of great respect for King Chu, said, "Gao Yang said... I am the consort of the emperor now, so I still have to follow some rules..."
"Don't come on." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu impatiently put down the book in his hand, and then waved his hand: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly. Don't I know you?"
"Well, Brother Kuan, can I ask for leave and go back to Chang'an? I want to do something..."
"For the monk Bian Ji?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had actually made arrangements for this matter long ago, but he had never said it because he was waiting for Fang Yiai to take the initiative to express his opinion.
"Yeah." Fang Yiai pursed his lips and nodded: "Brother Kuan, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I..."
"Alright, alright, no need to be so hypocritical." His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his hand to stop the other person from talking, and then said seriously: "Yi Ai, I only need you to answer one question: What are you going to do with that monk Bian Ji?"
"I'm going to destroy him!" Fang Yiai said with a gloomy face when he heard this.
"No," His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head in disappointment after hearing what the other party said, and then said calmly: "You want to kill him!"
"Brother Kuan... this is what I originally planned..." Fang Yiai saw that Li Kuan was disappointed, so he hurriedly explained: "But if this happens... I am so arrogant... I will implicate you and my father..."
"As for this matter... I am not afraid, and Prime Minister Fang... he is even less afraid." His Royal Highness the King of Chu could see that Fang Yiai was telling the truth, but this buddy oversimplified the matter: "Do you think Prime Minister Fang is not angry? He didn't do anything because he couldn't openly tear his face with Zhangsun Wuji - but you are different! Yiai, who the hell are you hanging out with? And whose sister is Gao Yang?
Damn it! When I am not in Chang'an, someone dares to have bad intentions towards my sisters?
Since this has happened, I have to kill the monkey to honor the monkey?"
"Brother Kuan...it seems like...'killing the chicken to scare the monkey'..."
"You know shit! How can killing a chicken be as effective as killing a monkey? So, I will give you 800 elite soldiers, and you will lead the army back to Chang'an tomorrow. The reason... I have already thought of it. You will be responsible for being the captain of the personal guard for General Li Jing. Of the 800 elite soldiers, 600 can be the vanguard, and the remaining 200 must guard Uncle Li at all times. No one has discussed this matter with me—"
"Brother Kuan! Are you really going to give me eight hundred elite soldiers?!" When Fang Yiai heard that he would be treated like this, he immediately said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely fight to the death to protect General Li Jing!"
"Don't interrupt!" King Chu frowned upon hearing this: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Brother Kuan...please continue..." Fang Yiai's mind was now full of ridiculous thoughts such as "I have eight hundred elite soldiers", "I have never been so wealthy in my life", and "When I return to Chang'an, I must show off to my father."
"You... forget it..." As soon as the King of Chu saw Fang Yiai's current behavior, he knew that he had to be patient and teach him what true arrogance is, so he picked up the "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of General Li" on the table and said to Fang Yiai: "Yiai, I will tell you two stories first.
Back then, General Li Guang, who was unemployed at home, returned late from hunting and passed by Baling Pavilion. He was stopped by the Baling School, who ignored his identity as the "former General Li" and detained him in the Baling Pavilion and stayed there for one night.
Not long after that, the Huns invaded and Emperor Wu of Han re-employed Li Guang.
The first thing Li Guang did after taking office was to trick Naba Lingwei into his service and find an opportunity to kill him!
Later, when Li Guang followed Wei Qing in the expedition against the Huns, he got lost and missed the opportunity to fight. Knowing that he had no hope of being granted a title of nobility, he committed suicide in anger.
His son Li Gan therefore bore a grudge against General Wei Qing and even found an opportunity to seriously injure General Wei Qing.
However, General Wei Qing did not make this public.
But this matter could not be hidden from his nephew Huo Qubing.
So, the Marquis of Guanjun, who was determined to avenge his uncle, shot Li Gan to death with one arrow while accompanying Emperor Wu of Han to hunt in Ganquan Palace. "When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he saw that Fang Yiai was still confused, and he could not help but said helplessly: "You really don't use your brain? Is the story interesting?" (Note 1)
"It sounds good." Fang Yiai nodded and said, "It turns out that the history books all record such interesting stories..."
Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu stood up silently and rolled up his sleeves.
"Your Highness... you... don't be impulsive!" If we were to say who is the most uncomfortable person in this study room at this moment, it would be none other than Wang Xuance.
It was so incongruous—the head of the family, who had always been rude and unreasonable, actually had a day when he used a literary masterpiece like "Records of the Grand Historian" to teach others...
Hmm... the master of the family... is now extremely powerful...
"Brother Kuan... I really don't understand! I really don't understand!" Not to mention how Wang Xuance was complaining at this moment, on the other hand, Fang Yiai's mind was really confused: when he was studying in the palace before, he was just like Brother Kuan, sleeping in class and waking up after class.
Therefore, not only did he not understand the deep meaning of Kuan Ge'er's words, he was also confused about another thing: when exactly did his boss secretly work hard...
This really amazed him.
"I want to tell you that if a person wants to be domineering, he must have the capital to be domineering! At the same time, he must also be aware of the consequences of doing so." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he saw Fang Yiai finally showed a look of confusion, and he couldn't help but soften his tone: "If you want to seriously injure Bian Ji, in my opinion, it is better to kill him directly.
Because as long as he is still alive afterwards, he will be more likely to be used by people with ulterior motives. "The sincere words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu at this time were completely inconsistent with his previous image.
But Wang Xuance, who was standing by, felt that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu seemed to be more in line with his expectations.
