After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chengqian didn't come up with a good solution, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Spread the edict, promote Zhao Xiaozu, the general of the left leading army, to the general of the left leading army, the Shangzhu country, and give the title of Wenchuan male."

"The Governor's Mansion of Lang Prefecture, the Governor's Mansion of Rongzhou is placed in Rongzhou, and Zhao Xiaozu holds the position of Governor of Rongzhou, so that he can always monitor the situation in the south of the clouds." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan was ordered to retreat and go to Zhongshu Province to preach the edict.

……

"Sage, the minister has this initiation!" The early dynasty had just begun, and as soon as Li Chengqian sat on the throne, Chu Suiliang, who had returned to Chang'an, stood up and said.

"What did Chu Qing play?" Li Chengqian asked.

"For the sake of my Tang Dynasty and the society, for the sake of long-term planning, the minister asked the sage to set up the prince as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people and continue the country for thousands of years." Chu Suiliang saluted.

Li Chengqian frowned, he didn't expect that after Chu Suiliang returned to Chang'an, the first major thing he did was to ask him to make a prince.

The crown prince is the prince of the empire, the heir designated and focused on cultivation by the emperor, and the future emperor.

Similarly, it will become the number one potential threat to the current emperor.

The crown prince was second only to the emperor in status and had his own East Palace, which resembled the imperial court mechanism.

The official configuration of the East Palace is completely modeled after the system of the imperial court, and it also has a personal guard similar to the emperor's forbidden army, the "Prince Zhu Rate".

And the wife and concubine of the crown prince also have official titles like the emperor's concubines.

The relationship between the crown prince and the emperor was extremely complex and quite sensitive.

On the one hand, the emperor needs to have an heir, but the existence of an heir will pose a certain threat to the imperial power. Because the crown prince had great power, he often clashed with the emperor, which led to his deposition or death.

To a certain extent, the establishment of the crown prince can stabilize the hearts of the courtiers and the people, and prevent the same room.

Once the emperor has an accident and dies violently, the crown prince will be able to inherit the throne smoothly, and there will be no chaos in the empire.

If there is no crown prince, if the emperor has an accident, the princes will fight for the throne and bloodshed, the country will not be stable, the people's hearts will change, and in serious cases, it may lead to the destruction of the country.

The crown prince can also let him supervise the country, so that the emperor has the opportunity to go out and wave.

Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages to making a prince.

"What do you think about the establishment of the crown prince?" Li Chengqian said.

"The minister thought that the prince should be established, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of Gaozu Liyin was built, and the first emperor set up a saint as the prince."

"The first emperor ascended the throne and made the crown prince in the same year, and the saint was made the crown prince at the age of eight, and now the prince is old, and the saint has been on the throne for three years, and it is time to establish the position of the prince." The eldest grandson Chong received the hint from the eldest grandson Wuji and came out to salute.

"Sage, the prince is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, the foundation and foundation of the Tang Dynasty, the righteousness of the people's hearts to establish the country, the life of the people to live the national lineage, the prince has to stand, for the long-term, the sage should make a decision as soon as possible." The Ministry of Rites is still listed.

"The ministers asked the saint to set up a prince to correct people's hearts." Another minister came out to salute and ask for the crown prince to be crowned.

"The ministers seconded it!" Another group of ministers came out to ask for the crown prince.

Li Chengqian looked at the minister kneeling in the main hall, and did not reply immediately, but fell into deep thought.

As for the crown prince, Li Chengqian also thought about it, but he wanted to observe who among the sons was more suitable for the prince.

Once the crown prince is canonized, in order to prevent brothers from killing each other, the other princes will be sent to the fief after being crowned king.

The emperor will devote most of his energy to cultivating the crown prince.

But in this way, once the prince's power is too great, it will threaten his throne and imperial power, and it is inevitable that father and son will fight each other.

Judging from the fact that the first emperor made a bad start in the Xuanwumen Change, once the prince's power was strong, it was easy to learn from Emperor Taizong and also carry out a coup d'état to come to power.

If you leave a few princes by your side, cultivate their power, and compete with the prince's power, in order to achieve a balance, in order to better control the country, prevent the power from falling, and maintain your imperial power.

The consequence of this is that once it gets out of control, the result will be even more serious, and this is also something that Li Chengqian is unwilling to accept.

If the development of the prince's power is excessively restricted, and he is worried that he will not be able to control the situation in the future, it is easy to have a situation in which the powerful ministers control the government.

For Li Chengqian, this is a dilemma.

"The prince is the national capital of my Tang Dynasty, and I also have the heart to set up the prince, but I don't know which prince to appoint, so I hesitated. Li Chengqian said.

Since you can't avoid this topic, let's just say it generously.

"Saint!" These are finally the turn of the eldest grandson Wuji to speak, "Since ancient times, the patriarchal system has been clear, it has always been the establishment of the eldest son not the virtuous, the son of the noble not the long, naturally the eldest son of the queen Li Ju as the crown prince." ”

According to the patriarchal system, Li Ju is the best candidate for the heir to the throne, his biological mother is the queen, and he is the first son born to the queen.

Although Li Xiang is the eldest son of Li Chengqian, he is only born to the emperor and a servant girl, and he is the eldest son.

In terms of origin, Li Xiang is not the queen's concubine, and his biological mother is a lowly maidservant, which does not meet the conditions of the patriarchal system at all.

It can be said that Li Xiang's prerequisites have doomed him to have no fate with the throne in this life, and even Li Sujie is more qualified to inherit the throne than him Li Xiang.

Who made Li Sujie's biological mother Xiao Guifei from a famous family.

If they are really made the crown prince, it will not be equivalent to giving the family gate valve a chance to prosper again, which is of course not good.

"What does Sikong think about the matter of the crown prince?" Li Chengqian asked Li Ji.

"Although the canonization of the crown prince is a major event of the imperial court, it is also Your Majesty's family background, and the ministers dare not criticize it, and ask Your Majesty to decide." Li Ji came out of the line and saluted.

"What the captain said is reasonable!" Li Chengqian said. The ministers were overjoyed when they heard this! Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian's voice changed.

"However, the matter of appointing the crown prince is very high, and whether Li Ju can assume the position of the prince or not, I still need to test it before I can decide."

Since we are in a dilemma, we should simply delay it for another three or five years, just refute everyone in the name of investigation.

The ministers heard it, the emperor didn't want to make a prince, how could this work.

"Sage ......" Chu Suiliang hurriedly spoke.

"That's it! This matter has been decided, and there is no need for more words! Li Chengqian interrupted Chu Suiliangdao.

The matter of establishing a prince is not a major matter that they can interfere in, as a courtier, they should put themselves in a correct position, and they should know what they should do and what they should not do.

When did the minister have the right to disagree with the matter of the crown prince, Yue Fei was executed on trumped-up charges because of the matter of criticizing the prince.

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy to leave, everyone was no longer interested in saying anything more on this issue.

If you don't say anything on the surface, it's another thing secretly.
