Chapter 985: Electing the Crown Prince

As the days went by, two more months passed casually, and the heat wave of early summer slapped on people wave after wave, and a layer of stinky sweat was left behind them before they had walked a few steps.

If you want to say that the mood of the ministers now, it is also like the sun in the sky, hot. The position of the crown prince has been vacant for several months, even if His Majesty has anger in his heart, he should be scattered at this moment, right? It's time to elect the crown prince, but His Majesty has been slow to move, which can turn them around in a hurry.

You must know that although His Majesty looks in good health, he is actually not young anymore, and at the beginning of this year, His Majesty just passed his 45th birthday, and in this era when the average age is only forty or fifty, Li Shimin is already considered an "old man". Therefore, the election of the prince has also become particularly important, you say that if one day His Majesty is in good health, but there is not even a person in the court to supervise the court, then what should I do? Such a big country can't have no successor, right?

Therefore, in the court, many ministers also reminded His Majesty intentionally or unintentionally that it was time to "elect the prince", Li Shimin also seemed to be aware of the ministers' eagerness, and knew that it would not be a matter if it dragged on like this, the position of the prince would be determined sooner or later, and there were only a few sons of his own, and there was nothing to worry about.

The next day, Li Shimin summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Tao entered the palace alone to discuss matters, and anyone with a little sense of smell could smell it, and I am afraid that things are not so simple.

But judging from the positions of these two people, one or two can be seen. In the army, Li Tao and Li Jing have outstanding military achievements, and are known as the god of war and the god of war respectively. Now Li Jing retreats to his home and ignores the government, so Li Tao can be regarded as an authoritative representative of the Tang Dynasty military generals.

Needless to say, the eldest grandson Wuji is not only the head of the civil officials, but also Li Shimin's number one confidant, the two have the same smell, and each other is the roundworm in each other's stomachs...... Ahem, it's far away.

In short, Li Shimin's separate summoning of these two people is enough to show that something unusual, well-informed ministers have speculated whether His Majesty is going to choose the crown prince? There's nothing big going on now, so why summon the two of them alone?

Chen Fei wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Li Zhi about his life ideals, but when he arrived at the palace gate, he was told by the eunuch that Li Zhi had been summoned by His Majesty at noon and had not yet returned.

I'm rubbing! It can't be such a coincidence, right? Chen Fei had a bold idea in his heart, so he hurriedly asked the eunuch if there were other princes in the palace who had been summoned by His Majesty.

The eunuch shook his head and said that only His Royal Highness King Jin was summoned by His Majesty, and he hadn't come out for almost an hour.

I rub! And so it was! It seems that Li Zhi inherited the crown prince and didn't run away! Chen Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shouted in his heart. I looked forward to it every day and every night, but I didn't expect this day to come so suddenly!

summoned the top civil and military ministers in the court, and left Li Zhi alone, which clearly means to establish the position of the crown prince! His uncle, it seems that Li Shimin has already had an idea in his heart, and decided to let Li Zhi inherit the position of the crown prince, otherwise he would not only call the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Tao.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei blew a sigh of relief, turned around and left the palace.

"Li Zhi is the nephew of the eldest grandson Wuji, and there is no reason not to help him. And Lee... Hehe, Uncle Cheng was cheeky to do ideological work last time, so it seems that it should be stable! Hey! I asked Uncle Cheng to contact some generals last time, but I didn't expect it to be really useful, hehe! Chen Fei smirked as he walked, ignoring the strange eyes of passers-by.

Sure enough, the next morning, Li Shimin announced that Li Zhi would be the crown prince, and the coronation ceremony would be held seven days later. The news was like a powerful bomb, blowing up the ministers who had not yet woken up and dozed off.

After waiting left and right for a few months, the prince ...... That's it? And you set it too suddenly, right? Although Li Zhi is indeed the first choice for the crown prince, you don't discuss such a big matter with us, so it's too unelaborate to settle it like this, right? The ministers complained in their hearts, but they still showed a happy look on their faces, congratulated Li Shimin on his election as the crown prince, and then set their eyes on Li Zhi.

There are those who are happy and those who are unwilling.

Li Zhi is just a teenage hairy boy, not as old as Chen Fei, only fifteen years old this year, inheriting the position of the crown prince at such an age, his heart is unstable, what should he do if he makes a mistake like Li Chengqian in the future?

In fact, these ministers have this kind of thought, but they secretly took refuge in Li Ke, who knew that Li Shimin chose Li Zhi as the crown prince without consultation, and did not leave them a chance at all, which made them angry, and they almost fainted on the spot.

So the most incomprehensible thing is politics, and you never understand what those sanctimonious guys are thinking behind their backs.

For example, when you go up, many people are jealous and think about how Fa'er will drag you into the water.

No one in the early court put forward any opinions on Li Zhi's succession to the crown prince, but in the evening, Li Shimin's desk had piled up no less than ten books, which were all about Li Zhi's bad deeds, and persuaded Li Shimin to make the country a big one, and not to easily hand over the country to a young child, and it was best to choose a mature and stable prince to inherit the crown prince's position, such as Li Ke......

When Li Shimin read these transcripts, Chen Fei happened to be there. Originally, Li Shimin wanted to talk to Chen Fei well, because he knew that Li Zhi and Chen Fei had a good relationship in private, and Chen Fei was young and promising, and he would definitely be the minister of the humerus in the DPRK in the future, and he hoped that Chen Fei could assist Li Zhi more in the future and govern the government.

At the same time, he was worried that Chen Fei was arrogant and bullied Li Zhi at a young age, and in the future, he would be alone in the court, control the government and government, and no one would govern him, so this conversation also had a warning meaning, warning him not to cross the line, to be a monarch and a minister, and to abide by his duty.

Knowing that the two had not had time to talk, the eunuch sent a stack of notebooks, and Li Shimin was completely out of mood after a few glances.

As soon as the prince was elected, these people jumped out to make trouble, just like you just bought a bag, and someone next to you complained that the bag was very old-fashioned and ugly, what did you feel in your heart? It's worse than swallowing a fly alive!

Li Shimin was angry after reading the book, he didn't say anything, but his face was ugly, and he probably wasn't in the mood to discuss life with Chen Fei.

After Chen Fei got Li Shimin's tacit approval, he looked at the notebook, and was speechless when he saw the words written on it. I wonder if these officials are crazy about power, you were the ones who were clamoring for Li Shimin to be the crown prince, and now it's you who are complaining, so there's nothing to do, right?

At this time, Li Shimin opened his mouth to ask. "Chen Fei, do you think it is appropriate for me to appoint Li Zhi as the crown prince?" ()
