Following the old eunuch, Li Kuan soon arrived in front of Xiande Hall.
At this moment, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Prince of Wei Li Tai were already waiting in front of the hall.
When they saw Li Kuan, the two of them glared at themselves in displeasure.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Kuan bowed to the little brat in front of him.
Although he was unhappy, he was the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne of the Great Tang, and he was only a King.
Li Chengqian politely asked Li Kuan about his well-being.
He thought that this sickly person who would not live for long would not pose any threat to him inheriting the throne in the future.
Moreover, he had just ascended the throne of the Crown Prince, so he did not have the twists and turns of a few years later.
The little fatty, Li Tai, snorted and turned his head away, pretending not to see Li Kuan.
Li Kuan was too lazy to argue with this little brat.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Chu, Your Highness the King of Wei, His Majesty, please allow the three of you to enter.”
After entering Xian De Hall, it was not as grand and imposing as he had imagined.
All the officials in the court were arguing with their faces red.
Xian De Hall, where officials discussed government affairs, was as noisy as a market.
"Your Majesty, that traitor Luo Yi is extremely daring. You must not agree to his request and put the royal bloodline in danger.”
"Now that the Turks are invading, the Imperial Court is in a critical moment. As the Imperial Princes, you should share the burdens of the Imperial Court and the Great Tang.”
"Bullshit! That Luo Yi had wild ambitions. The princes were still young. If they went, would they still be able to come back alive?”
"Idiot, how can you speak such filthy words in the Imperial Court?”
“.........”
Li Kuan and the other two stood aside and listened for a while before they finally figured out the whole story.
It turned out that the King of Yan, Luo Yi, had rebelled, and the Turks had heard that the Tang court was at a critical moment of power change, so they had mobilized two hundred thousand troops to attack the Tang Empire.
The current Imperial Court wanted to appease Luo Yi. Firstly, it could free the army that was confronting Luo Yi.
Secondly, he wanted to trick Luo Yi into fighting the Turks.
But who knew that Luo Yi not only raised harsh conditions, but also asked one of Li Kuan's group to be Luo Yi's supervisor.
Although he said he was going to supervise the army, who would have thought that he was going to be a hostage?
Luo Yi was afraid that Li Shi Min would take revenge and wanted to find an amulet.
This also caused the civil and military officials in the court to argue.
Li Kuan was a little confused.
In terms of status, Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian were both Di sons, and Li Chengqian was the Crown Prince. Nothing was more useful than this amulet.
Since he was not the legitimate son and was also weak and sickly, Luo Yi was not afraid that this amulet of his would die in just a few days.
"Enough!"
Li Shi Min, the emperor of the Tang Empire, angrily slammed the table.
"I asked you to come here to solve the problem, not to make a fuss.”
"As the sons of the imperial family, they enjoy the glory and wealth of the imperial family. In times of crisis, they should shoulder their responsibilities and contribute to the Great Tang and the people of the world.”
"Your Majesty…"
"Alright, it's decided. Now, we need to discuss which prince to send.”
Li Shiming interrupted the ministers who were still trying to persuade him and looked at Li Kuan and the other two.
"As for who should be sent to Luo Yi's place to supervise the army, zhen now wants to hear what the three of you think.”
Li Shi Min asked his three princes.
"Crown Prince, you go first."
Hearing Li Shiming's question, Li Chengqian's face suddenly turned ugly.
How should he answer?
He said that he was the eldest son and the crown prince, so he should go himself?
However, if his father agreed, wouldn't that be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? His position wouldn't be warm yet.
Saying that he wasn't going and letting others go? That would definitely disappoint his father, the ministers, and the people.
He thought for a long time.
"Your son, Imperial Father, is at your command." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground.
Li Shi Min looked at his eldest son with disappointment. He had no opinion of his own and was afraid of death.
If he could request to be the Military Supervisor, even if he agreed, the officials would not agree. After all, he was the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne of the Great Tang.
However, what did he mean by 'as beholded'? He didn't have the bearing of the heir to the throne of the Great Tang at all.
Li Shiming was about to ask his second son what he thought when he saw Li Kuan covering his chest with his left hand and coughing violently with his right hand.
"Cough cough…* Cough * Ahem!"
Seeing his son's weak appearance, a trace of love and regret flashed across Li Shiming's face.
His son was good in everything except for his health…
Sigh...
Since Li Kuan arrived at Xian De Hall, he coughed a few times and pretended to be weak.
Going to Luo Yi Military Camp to court death? Only a fool would do that. Although he had the courage of an overlord, he could not defeat an army of more than a hundred thousand.
There were so many people, each of them could drown themselves with a mouthful of saliva.
"Green Sparrow, you go first."
Li Shi Min looked at the 'weak' Li Kuan and directly asked the little fatty Li Tai.
Li Tai's face turned pale when he heard that. His face was almost as pale as Li Kuan's.
Cold sweat trickled down Li Tai's round face, and the fat on his body trembled.
In Li Tai's opinion, the Crown Prince was the Crown Prince, so he would definitely not do such a dangerous thing. This was something that he saw more clearly than Li Chengqian.
His second brother, Li Kuan, was a sickly person. He might die at any time, so he probably wouldn't go.
Then I'm the only one left
Thinking about how he was about to reach Luo Yi, the demon king who killed without batting an eye, Li Tai felt that the sky was turning dark.
"Your son…Your son... Son..."
Li Tai trembled as he spoke, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Shiming.
"Alright, you can kneel too!"
Li Shiming had hoped that his beloved son would make him look good in the court, but he didn't expect that each of them would be more embarrassing than the last.
At this moment, Li Kuan stood up.
He said to Li Shiming righteously.
"Your son requests to be an army supervisor under Luo Yi.”
Li Shi Min looked at his sickly prince in surprise.
"Why? Do you know what the consequences are? With your body, it will be very difficult for you to come back alive.”
"Your son understands, but it is precisely because of this that your son wants to go. Your son is also the most suitable candidate.”
This time, not only was Li Shimin surprised, but all the officials in the court looked at the reclusive King of Chu with some doubts.
"Why?"
"There are three reasons."
"Firstly, as the Crown Prince, Eldest Brother is the Crown Prince of the country. How could he let the Crown Prince be in such a dangerous place?”
As soon as Li Kuan finished speaking, many ministers agreed.
Li Shiming didn't feel that Li Kuan was being rude when he called him 'Big Brother'. Instead, he felt exceptionally warm.
After all, his position was obtained by killing his brothers. Naturally, he did not want to see brothers killing each other.
This 'big brother' meant that Li Kuan didn't feel distant because Li Chengqian was the Crown Prince.
" Second," Li Kuan continued," Fourth Brother is still young. As his elder brother, I should take care of him.”
Li Shimin and all the officials looked at Li Kuan with admiration.
"Third, your son is weak and sickly, and I don't think I can live for many years. If I can contribute to the Imperial Court and the Great Tang with this body, your son will die without regrets!”
Li Kuan said, as if he would do his utmost for the Great Tang.
"Even if Luo Yi's camp is a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, a bottomless abyss, for the sake of the Great Tang's eternal foundation, your son will still go.”
"Your son requests to be appointed as the supervisor of Luo Yi's army.”
After saying that, Li Kuan knelt on the ground.
Li Kuan looked like he wouldn't get up if he didn't agree. All the officials were moved.
Li Shi Min's eyes glistened with tears as he looked at the weak and stubborn child.
"Kuan 'er!"
Li Shiming reached out his arm to help Li Kuan up.
However, before his hands could touch Li Kuan's shoulders, Li Kuan's voice sounded again.
"I beg Imperial Father to agree."
Looking at Li Kuan's determined face, Li Shimin could only endure his grief and wave his hand.
"I order the King of Chu, Li Kuan, to supervise the army under the King of Yan, Luo Yi. We will depart for Youzhou tomorrow.”
"We will obey."
"Kuan 'er, go and see your mother before you leave.”
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
