"Auntie, no matter what your identity is, in front of you, she is your daughter, this is something that will never change" Li Cao wiped her tears, leaned on Yang Yan'er's arms, and whispered to Xia Ju and them.

As soon as Li Cao's words came out, Xia Ju and the others immediately smiled, and they talked to Li Cao again, and then Li Cao took them back to the imperial city he had just built after meeting Li Wei and a group of aunts and uncles.

And with the arrival of Li Shimin and others, various celebrations were also launched, and after a few days of excitement, Li Cao's enthronement ceremony was also held as scheduled.

On the day of Li Cao's accession to the throne, with the completion of Li Cao's step-by-step ceremony, especially when worshipping ancestors, when Li Yuan, Dou and other Li ancestors were enshrined in the Taimiao, Li Shimin's smile was simply closed.

And after Li Cao worshiped his ancestors, Li Shimin personally crowned Li Cao, and a round of rewards began.

And this reward also made Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Yan'er, the prince and concubine, directly cross the position of emperor and queen, and became the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the empress dowager of the four palaces, especially the empress dowager of the four palaces, which made those old ministers of the Tang Dynasty who came with Li Shimin secretly surprised one by one.

And after Li Cao ascended the throne, she deliberately took time to accompany Li Shimin to visit several places with good scenery on Yingzhou Island, and then started a state discussion.

This is directly related to business, education, military and other aspects.

When everything was completed, Li Shimin was also bored, so he set off back to Chang'an with someone.

But in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan in the same year, not long after Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, Qin Qiong died of illness at home.

Qin Qiong's death made the whole Tang Dynasty mourn, and Li Chengqian personally carried Qin Qiong's coffin to bid farewell to this veteran who had been a veteran of the Tang Dynasty all his life.

But it seems that God really doesn't want to make Datang feel better, just a month after Qin Qiong's death, the news that Du Ruhui and Li Jing were seriously ill came successively, and then after a delay of half a month, Du Ruhui and Li Jing passed away within three days.

This made Datang, who was already immersed in Qin Qiong's death, add a touch of sadness.

And with the death of three important civil and military ministers, Li Shimin officially issued an edict to the crown prince Li Chengqian in the spring of the twenty-fourth year of Zhenguan after a serious illness.

As soon as the edict was passed, the whole country of the Tang Dynasty rejoiced, and immediately diluted the sadness of the death of the three important civil and military ministers.

However, compared to the jubilation of the people outside, the imperial city at this time was indeed a different scene.

I saw that in front of the lobby of the East Palace, Li Zhi was kneeling in front of the door covered in blood, and Li Chengqian kept pumping with a whip in his hand.

"Bastard, are you going to be angry with your father? There are so many women in the world, who do you like is not good, but you like your niece, and you have a secret knot with her, I said why have you frequently run to Da Zhou in recent years, you bastard thing" Li Chengqian was angry and smoked Li Zhi there.

It turned out that the outside world knew that Li Shimin's serious illness was actually angry with Li Zhi, and he actually got along with Li Cao a few years ago, but they did it very secretively and never found out.

But after all, paper can't hold the fire, before Li Cao ascended the throne, the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time completely revealed their hearts, secretly tasted the forbidden fruit and made Li Cao pregnant.

After Li Zhi found out, he didn't dare to say to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and asked for the eldest grandson Wujian, who happened to be indoors that day, and Li Shimin fell ill directly after hearing it.

For this reason, although Li Shimin fell ill, he still hid it from Li Chengqian, until Li Shimin's health improved and he issued an edict to pass on the throne, which explained to Li Chengqian, and there was the current scene.

"Your Highness, the county lord of Poyang is now outside the door, you ........."

"Tell her to come in directly, are you still waiting for Lao Tzu to invite her? Hmph" Before the eunuch finished speaking, Li Chengqian angrily slammed the whip on the ground and roared loudly.

"Big brother, please don't be angry with Cao'er, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if you want to beat me, just beat me, Cao'er is now pregnant with Liujia, and she can't beat it" As soon as he heard that Li Cao had arrived, coupled with his eldest brother's anger, Li Zhi, who was afraid that his eldest brother would make a move, immediately knelt down and hugged Li Chengqian's leg and begged there.

"You... You... You really want to be angry with me, how can I have a brother like you, I ........." Looking at Li Zhi kneeling at his feet, Li Chengqian really wanted to slap him, but looking at Li Zhi's tearful appearance, he really couldn't get that hand.

At this time, Li Cao happened to come in, and when she saw Li Zhi kneeling on the ground covered in blood, she immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly ran to Li Chengqian and knelt down, "Dad, daughter........."

"I can't afford to be your father, and you are now the empress of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it is not appropriate for you to kneel to me, the prince of the Linguo!" Before Li Cao finished speaking, Li Chengqian spoke.

"Dad, Cao'er is wrong, Cao'er is really wrong, you hit me, you beat me" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Cao panicked, she cried and went to pull Li Chengqian's hand and asked Li Chengqian to beat her.

"Hey, what kind of sin am I making" Seeing Li Cao like this, Li Chengqian sighed, and the raised hand finally did not hit him, but gave himself a slap, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Looking at the back of Li Chengqian leaving, Li Zhi hugged the crying Li Cao in his arms and looked at the back of Li Chengqian's departure in a daze.

"You guys, what do you say you are doing, come and help the king of Jin to go down to rest" Xia Ju, who had been standing aside, saw Li Chengqian leaving, so she walked to Li Zhi and Li Cao with a sad face, and said something to them, before asking someone to help Li Zhi go down to rest, and she pulled Li Cao away.

Li Chengqian, who left, came to the Lizheng Hall with frivolous steps, looking at the palace in front of him, Li Chengqian was a little afraid to go in at this moment, and wandered outside for a while before walking in.

When he went in and saw Li Shimin lying on the recliner and the eldest grandson Wujian sitting on the side, Li Chengqian knelt directly on the ground at them.

"Daddy, my son has no way to teach my daughter, which caused her and Lao Jiu to do such a depraving thing, and ask my father and mother to punish her"

"Hey, it's smart, get up! Things are already like this, what else can we say, the top priority now is to think about what to do, your mother and I have tried our best these days, but we haven't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, if you have a way, just say it, this matter can't be delayed" Seeing Li Chengqian kneeling in front of him as soon as he came in, Li Shimin sighed, and then said to him.

"Hey, evil, evil, father, now it's like this, only to remove Lao Jiu from the family tree and let him marry Cao'er, otherwise the matter will be revealed, and our Li family will really become the laughing stock of the world, I just don't know if you and your mother disagree" Li Chengqian sighed and said his thoughts.

"Gao Ming, this method is good, this method is good, but how to remove the pheasant slave from the family tree, there is no reason for this, no one will be convinced" Hearing Li Chengqian's method, Li Shimin didn't speak, and the eldest grandson Wujian spoke first.

"This reason is so good, but I just don't know if your two elders disagree."

"It's all at this time, what else do you disagree with, since you have an idea, then do it according to your idea, don't pay attention to me and your mother, but you have to remember that it's your brother after all, go ahead"

Li Shimin pondered for a while, said to Li Chengqian with a lonely expression, and waved his hand to let Li Chengqian go down after speaking.

With Li Shimin's support, Li Chengqian left non-stop to arrange.

His method is very simple, it is nothing more than to arrange a drama between the princes to seize the heir, so that Li Zhi can launch a coup d'état, and he has thought about the time on the eve of his accession to the throne.

In this way, on the eve of Li Chengqian's accession to the throne, a grand drama of seizing the heirs arranged by Li Chengqian personally by Li Tai, Li You and others in disguise opened directly.

When everything was calm the next morning, Chang'an City was full of burned houses and blood stains that had not been washed off, which made the people in Chang'an City and the civil servants frightened one by one.

They were relieved until a police officer told them that the crown prince's ascension to the throne was going on as usual.

But with Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne, he changed the name of Datong, and canonized Cheng Zimo as the queen, Xia Ju, Mei Ying, Yang Yan'er concubine, and Li Yao as the crown prince, and when the dynasty announced the abolition of all titles of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and expelled from the family tree, he was exiled for thousands of miles.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people understood what happened last night, but they understood it, but few people sympathized with Li Zhi, and only felt that he deserved it.

It's just that what they don't know is that the exiled Li Zhi returned to the Great Zhou directly with Li Cao after Li Chengqian's accession to the throne, and changed his name to marry Li Cao in the same year, becoming the prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

With Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne, the Tang Dynasty also officially entered the rule of Datong.

"Son, do a good job"

"Brother, thank you"

"Big brother, we'll help you"

"Brother, thank you"

"Daddy, thank you"

"Husband, we love you"

"I love you too, my family"

Li Chengqian stood on the high platform and looked at his parents, brothers and sisters, daughters, and lovers, showing a happy smile.

The hall was full, brothers, friends, and grandchildren were on their knees, and I did it.
