Li Zhi suddenly returned to Chang'an, which caught everyone off guard, especially Li Tai and his Wei Wang party, which was even more noisy for a while, and when it was later rumored that Li Zhi returned to Beijing at the behest of Li Shimin, it caused an uproar, and the entire Chang'an City was discussing whether Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to come back, whether he planned to let him take over the crown prince's position?

"Sir, what's going on with him, big brother? I wanted to visit my eldest brother in Dali Temple, but my father didn't agree. By the Huangqu River, Li Zhi complained a little while walking with Li Xiu.

I haven't seen him for nearly two years, Li Zhi has also changed a lot, the most obvious is his appearance, not only is he almost as tall as Li Xiu, but the childishness on his face has disappeared a lot, if he was still a child when he left Chang'an, then he has become a teenager now, of course, this is not surprising, after all, Li Zhi is in the period of the fastest growth, and he may change greatly if he doesn't see him for a few months, let alone nearly two years.

"Last time I visited your eldest brother, although he has lost some weight, he has realized his mistakes and confessed all the wrong things he has done, and now I will wait for your father's body to recover, and then decide what to do with your eldest brother." Li Xiu sighed at this time and said, although Li Zhi's appearance has changed a lot, he is still a kind child in essence, even at this time, he still thinks about his brother.

"It's okay if the eldest brother is fine, when I saw my father yesterday, I also interceded for the eldest brother, and I look at my father's appearance, I shouldn't be ruthless to kill the eldest brother, as long as I can save the eldest brother's life, then there will be a chance to change in the future!" Li Zhi finally relaxed a little when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"Your eldest brother did something wrong, and the saddest thing is probably your father, so you should accompany your father more during this time, and urge him to take medicine on time and take care of his body as soon as possible!" Li Xiu also told Li Zhi again at this time.

"I know, today I also personally served my father and drank medicine before I came out." Li Zhi nodded at this time, and then said with some hesitation, "Sir, I still can't figure it out, you said that the eldest brother is already the crown prince, why do you still want to do such a thing, does the father really want the fourth brother to take the place of the eldest brother?" ”

"This ......" Li Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard Li Zhi's question, because he didn't know how to answer him? Li Chengqian chose this matter, Li Shimin will bear more than half of the responsibility, and the rest of the responsibility will be shared equally between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but he can't tell Li Zhi now, the biggest responsibility for your eldest brother's choice is on your father, right?

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't say anything, Li Zhi hesitated again at this time, and then finally spoke again: "The son doesn't say anything about the father, I know that I have such an idea, but I think the father's favor for the fourth brother is too much, is it because of this reason that the eldest brother is suspicious, so he took the risk and chose to choose the road of rebellion?" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh a little: The children have grown up, and sometimes even if they don't say it, they will have their own ideas.

"You can't be wrong when you think so, it's just that the reasons for this are very complicated, your father has done something wrong, but your eldest brother himself is also responsible, and this matter is not only a state affair, but also your family affair, which is mixed with politics, people's hearts, family affection, etc., it is really not something that can be said clearly in a few words, maybe when you grow up a little more, you will figure it out for yourself!" Li Xiu sighed at the moment and said to Li Zhi again.

Although Li Zhi has grown up a lot, when he heard Li Xiu's words above, he still showed a confused look, but he knew that since Li Xiu was unwilling to say, it was useless for him to ask again, so he didn't speak again.

"Pheasant slave, you came back too suddenly this time, and Chang'an City was also full of turmoil because of your return, you should have heard all those rumors from the outside world, right?" Li Xiu suddenly asked again at this time.

"This ......" Li Zhi didn't expect Li Xiu to ask about it, which made him stunned for a moment before he replied, "I heard those rumors, but I came back this time only because my father was very sad because of my eldest brother's matter, so I thought of me, other than that, I don't think there is any other intention, those rumors are just outsiders speculating." ”

"Regardless of whether those rumors are true or not, I would like to know now, what will you do if your father really wants to make you the crown prince?" Li Xiu suddenly stopped at this time, and then asked by staring at Li Zhi's eyes.

"This ...... I ......" Li Zhi also seemed a little panicked at this time, unable to answer, and even his eyes were dodgy and did not dare to look at Li Xiu.

"Don't avoid my question, now that you have grown up, it is normal for you to have your own thoughts, and you are the prince of the concubine, and now that your eldest brother has made a mistake, you and your fourth brother have the same chance to take over the crown prince!" Li Xiu reached out at this time and patted Li Zhi's shoulder encouragingly.

Yesterday, Ping An Lang asked if Li Zhi had a chance to take over the position of the crown prince, for this matter, Li Xiu was silent for a long time and did not answer him directly, but told him that when Li Zhi came to see him, he would personally tell him his opinion on this matter, and as a result, Li Zhi came early this morning, so Li Xiu also planned to tell his opinion, and by the way, he also pointed out Li Zhi, after all, Li Zhi to take over the position of the prince is always better than Li Tai, who is a master of the eye.

Li Xiu's encouragement also played a role, only to see Li Zhi was silent again for a moment, and finally raised his head and looked directly at Li Xiu and said: "I don't want to lie to Mr., when I know that the eldest brother has an accident, and when I return to Chang'an and hear those rumors about me, if I don't care about the crown prince, I'm afraid I don't even believe in myself, but I think the fourth brother's chance is obviously much greater than mine, so I won't fight with my fourth brother for anything, anyway, there is only one throne, he can take it if he wants!" ”

Li Xiu watched Li Zhi grow up, and compared with Li Chengqian, Li Zhi's mind is more pure, so he can now be sure that what Li Zhi said should be psychological, and his temperament originally didn't like to compete with others, but the more this is the case, the greater his chance of getting the crown prince.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a calm smile and said: "Very good, Pheasant slave, you are very pleased to have such an idea as a teacher, and then you don't have to do anything, as long as you care about your father's body according to your heart, and also help your eldest brother to intercede, as for your fourth brother, you don't care about it, and there will naturally be a result in the future!" ”
