After Li Chengqian retired from the court, he returned to the Ganlu Palace, because today's minister's request for the establishment of the crown prince made him a little upset.

"Everyone! Her Royal Highness the Queen and King Ning ask to meet! A eunuch trotted in and saluted.

Li Chengqian was even more dissatisfied when he heard this, the queen came to him at this time, and brought Li Ju over, so he didn't have to think about it to know what it was for.

As soon as he came back with his front foot, the queen came with his back foot, saying that he had nothing to do with Prince Li, and he said that he didn't believe anything.

Li Chengqian didn't expect that such a gentle and graceful woman as the queen would actually force him into the palace for the position of the crown prince, which naturally made him even more annoyed.

The ministers want to force him to make a prince, does even his queen have to do something to force him to make a prince?

But after thinking about it, Li Chengqian was somewhat relieved, after all, the queen is not only a woman, but also a mother, and it is understandable to seek the crown prince for her son.

As a mother seeking benefits for her son's future, he can naturally be relieved, but Su is not only a mother, but also the queen of the Tang Dynasty, she should not only consider her son, but also take care of him as an emperor.

"Let them in!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The eunuch took the order and retreated, came to the outside of the palace and saluted the queen and Li Ju: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Ning!" Everyone, please. ”

"Don't worry about it, there is a queen mother, and besides, the father is not a man-eating monster, so don't be afraid." Looking at the hands trembling slightly beside him, Li Ju, who was a little scared, comforted.

"I see!" Li Ju said.

"Let's go! Other people's fathers have been waiting for a long time! The queen said, turned back to the eunuch and said, "It's hard work! ”

The eunuch was immediately flattered! The queen's maid quietly rewarded the eunuch with some money, and the eunuch suddenly smiled and thanked him again and again.

"Concubines see saints!" The queen saluted.

"Son-in-law, see father!" King Ning Li Ju saluted Li Chengqian.

"Excuse me! Sit it all! Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you Sage (Father)!" The Empress and Li Ju thanked them and sat down on the side.

"The queen and King Ning are here this time to make up the crown prince?" Li Chengqian said, directly pointing out the purpose of their coming.

Li Ju looked a little flustered after hearing this, and the queen stretched out her hand to pat Li Ju, signaling him that she didn't have to worry about everything.

All this was seen by Li Chengqian, and he was dissatisfied with Li Ju's cowardice, and he was even more reluctant to make him the prince, but more willing to make Li Xiang the prince.

"Yes, the concubine is here for this ......"

"That's it! You don't have to say anything, I don't have any plans to make a prince for the time being, and you don't have to think too much, when should I make a prince, I know in my heart, I'm tired, you all go back! ”

Before Empress Su finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Chengqian and ordered to expel the guest, and he didn't want to discuss the issue of establishing a prince with anyone now.

He doesn't want to mention it, it doesn't mean that others don't want to mention it, Queen Su didn't come here to give an explanation for the establishment of the prince, at least even if she doesn't set up a prince now, she must be sure that her son will be the prince in the future.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive the concubine for saying bluntly, the prince is the foundation of the country, the country is the foundation of the people, the people are stable, the country is eternal, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a prince who has been undecided for a long time. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to establish the crown prince according to law for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's country, the ancestral foundation, and the peace of the people in the world!" Empress Su said goodbye and knelt down for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was furious, and roared angrily: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can you be a female streamer who can talk more casually about the establishment of the prince, whether I establish the prince or not, when will it not be your turn to teach the prince." ”

"Get out of here, you have to go back to the Lizheng Palace, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave half a step, and no one is allowed to get close to the Lizheng Palace for half a step."

"Your Majesty! Even if the concubine dies today, she will ......"

"If you dare to talk more, don't go back to the Lizheng Palace soon, I immediately issued an edict to let King Ning go to the fiefdom, and he will never be allowed to return to Chang'an." Li Chengqian roared angrily and interrupted Empress Su's words.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Su was paralyzed on the ground, she was just here to seek benefits for her son, if she really let her son go to the fiefdom, he would never come back.

Wouldn't she never be able to be the prince, wouldn't it be equivalent to her harming Li Ju, the more Queen Su thought about it, the more scared she became.

"Queen Mother!" Li Ju hurriedly pounced, turned around and bowed to Li Chengqian: "I beg my father to forgive my mother, my son would rather not be a prince, I just ask my father to forgive my mother." ”

"Send the queen back to the Lizheng Palace, think about it behind closed doors for a month, and Li Ju, the king of Ning, stay, I have something to say." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The palace maid stepped forward to help Queen Su and sent her back to the Lizheng Palace, and Queen Su was supported by the palace maid along the way, without making a fuss.

She was afraid that because of her own trouble, Li Ju would stay away from her side, and she might never see her again in this life.

"Ju'er, do you want to be the crown prince?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes!" Li Ju blurted out without thinking about it.

"Why? Can you tell me? Is it because of power, or because of the temptation of the throne? Li Chengqian asked.

"No, the son is for his mother, for his father, for himself, and for the people of the world! I admit that I have selfish intentions, but I don't just want to be a prince for my own selfishness. ”

"In order not to make the queen mother no longer unhappy, I can be happy as the crown prince and mother, and I am also for my father, so that the ministers and the people of the world will not persecute my father." Li Ju said.

"You're selfish, so you want to be the prince, and that's good! You say what many people want to say but are afraid to say. ”

"Who in this world is not selfish? Even I have selfish intentions, and people have seven emotions and six desires, and all kinds of greed will breed. ”

"Ju'er, if I tell you that I won't make you the crown prince, will you be resentful?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Li Ju blurted out: "What is it about Erchen who is not worthy of becoming a prince?" Erchen is unwilling! ”

"You're telling the truth! Do you know? The prince is actually not easy to be, I have been the prince for more than 20 years, but I have been fighting with your fourth uncle for so many years. ”

"It's almost a catastrophe, although the prince seems to have infinite scenery, but it is a bottomless abyss that will swallow many people who want to get their hands on it." Li Chengqian said.

Li Ju didn't speak, he didn't understand any of this, he only knew that he should fight for this prince!

No matter what the reason, it is for himself or for others, he has to fight, so that he will not have any regrets.

Prince, he Li Ju is decided!

"You're fourteen years old, aren't you?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Ju didn't understand that Li Chengqian would suddenly ask him about his age, but he still answered truthfully: "Yes, Erchen has reached the age of fourteen." ”
