"See Father!" Li Tai saw Li Shimin suddenly come to his Nanshan Academy, and he was also very excited to come forward and salute, but he soon saw Li Xiu next to him, which made him stunned for a moment, but he learned to be well-behaved a lot, at least he behaved well in front of Li Shimin, and immediately saluted Li Xiu, and Li Xiu also said a few words of hypocritical greeting.

"Qingque, how is this academy, do you like it here?" Li Shimin asked his son with a smile on his face, since Li Chengqian was deposed, he seemed to be more fond of Li Tai, and from time to time he summoned Li Tai into the palace to ask right.

"No matter what the father and emperor give to his sons, his sons love it, not to mention that this academy is also in line with his son's appetite, and he studies with the students in the academy every day, and his sons also feel that they have recently advanced in learning!" Li Tai also replied with joy on his face at this time, he really liked this academy, because this place could not only invite him to be famous, but also gather talents for him, it was simply a place he had ever dreamed of, of course, it would be better if he could also win the Zhongnan Academy next to it.

"Haha~, when I got this academy, my father was the first to think of you, with your character and talent, you are the most suitable to be in charge of the entire academy, but I heard that there were many people in the academy some time ago, has it been affected in the academy now?" Li Shimin laughed again when he heard his son's compliments, but Li Xiu next to him shook his head secretly, Li Shimin was wise, but when he saw Li Tai's son, he would become an ordinary father, and he had no ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood in any words and deeds of his son.

"The academy did have some people gone, but fortunately, Erchen used to recruit a lot of talented people as customers, and now these disciples are temporarily used as teachers, and they can also cope with the operation of the academy." Li Tai immediately replied.

"Well, after all, the academy is to cultivate talents for the imperial court, and it is not a way to just work your disciples, so let's do it, in the future, Nanshan Academy and Zhongnan Academy will be the same as Zhongnan Academy, and there will usually be officials from the imperial court who will take turns to come to teach, and the professors and others in the Guozijian can also transfer some, so that you can also be more leisurely." Li Shimin felt sorry for his son, not only did he distribute the benefits of Zhongnan Academy to Nanshan Academy at once, but also transferred people from Guozi, so Xiao Yu was afraid that he would scold his mother.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Tai was not polite at all, he smiled and thanked Li Shimin, and then enthusiastically took Li Shimin into the academy to inspect, and Li Shimin's interest also seemed to be very high, and at the moment, with Li Xiu in Nanshan Academy, although Li Xiu's body was still a little weak, he could barely keep up, and he always felt that Li Shimin came to see Li Tai today was a little unusual.

After turning around, Li Tai took Li Shimin and Li Xiu to his room in the academy to drink tea and rest, but at this time, Li Shimin asked the others to retreat, and only their father and son and Li Xiu were left in the room, and then Li Shimin spoke again: "Qingque, during this time, the court has been forcing the prince to re-establish the prince for his father, have you heard of this?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Li Xiu and Li Tai were stunned almost at the same time, and then Li Tai showed a very excited expression and said: "Father Qi, the son heard about this matter, speaking of which the eldest brother made a big mistake, causing my position as the prince of the Tang Dynasty to be vacant, although the son is heartbroken for what the eldest brother has done, but for the sake of the country, the father should indeed set up the prince as soon as possible!" ”

Li Tai has been looking forward to the matter of re-establishing the prince for a long time, and even before he had encouraged people to bring it up in the court, but at that time, Li Shimin was not in the mood at all, but demoted the person who mentioned this matter to other places, so Li Tai naturally did not dare to mention it, but this time it was Chu Suiliang and others who took the initiative to put it forward, and Li Shimin could not avoid it, which also happened to follow Li Tai's wishes, and now that Li Shimin mentioned this matter, he naturally raised his hands and feet in favor.

Hearing his son's words, Li Shimin sighed at this time, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiu and said, "Li Xiu, what do you think about this matter?" ”

After the initial shock, Li Xiu also calmed down at this time, only to see that he was silent for a moment at this time and then stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the prince is related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, so the minister also thinks that the words of Chu Suiliang and others are not wrong, and now is indeed the time to re-establish the prince!" ”

Li Tai was originally worried that Li Xiu would oppose this matter, but when he heard Li Xiu's answer, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even at this time, he actually felt a sense of gratitude to Li Xiu in his heart, which was also the first time he had such a feeling since he fell out with Li Xiu.

Seeing that even Li Xiu praised the establishment of the crown prince, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh again and said: "I also know that the position of the prince is vacant, and it will not be of any benefit to the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, but I couldn't let go of it in my heart before, so I didn't mention this matter, but now I can't drag it out anymore." ”

When he said this, he saw Li Shimin suddenly pause and then said: "Especially in the past few years, I also feel that my energy is not as good as before, and even my hair and beard are gray, so it's time to choose an heir from the prince!" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai's eyes next to him almost erupted with an unprecedented desire, and Li Xiu also sighed at this time, even Li Shimin admitted that he was old, and as Li Shimin's peers, although he was a few years younger than Li Shimin, maybe in a few years, he would have to admit that he was old.

I saw that Li Shimin was sad for a moment at this time, and then he turned his head to look at Li Taidao and said: "Qingque, you are my favorite child, and among my sons, you are the most talented, so I also intend to pass on the throne to you, I don't know what you think?" ”

The candidate for the crown prince can only be selected from Li Tai and Li Zhi, Li Shimin is more biased towards Li Tai in his heart, after all, Li Zhi is too young first, and his temperament is too weak, so he is really not the appearance of a king, so Li Shimin is more biased towards Li Tai.

Li Tai was almost ecstatic when he heard his father's words, but he also knew that he couldn't behave too much at this time, so he forced himself to calm down at this time, but he still couldn't help but glance at Li Xiu opposite, and his eyes were full of pride, even if his relationship with Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji was not good, the throne was still his, how could this make him unhappy?

It's just that to Li Tai's surprise, Li Xiu on the other side didn't have any abnormality at this time, but looked at him with a smile, which made him feel a little unhappy while being happy.

"Multi-...... Thank you to your father, although your sons can't compare with your father, you must do your best to protect the Tang Dynasty! Li Tai also strode forward at this time and saluted Li Shimin again, since he was sensible, he had been waiting for this opportunity, and now he had finally waited for it, even if he tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but he was still trembling with excitement, and even his voice trembled a little.

Li Shimin's eyes looking at Li Tai at this time were also full of kindness, but at this time he seemed to think of something, and hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Qingque, my father has already swept away the four scales for you, and there is no force around that can threaten the Tang Dynasty, as for the country, although there are some clowns in the country, there is nothing to be afraid of, so my father has no other requirements for you, but there is only one thing that you can't rest assured!" ”

"My father's martial arts are unmatched, and there has never been an emperor in all dynasties who can do this to the point of my father, what else can you rest assured?" Li Tai first slapped Li Shimin's ass, and then asked with some curiosity.

Here it comes! Li Xiu next to him had bright eyes and said secretly in his heart, he didn't expect Li Shimin to call himself to witness the establishment of Li Tai as the crown prince, and probably wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between himself and Li Tai, which can be described as well-intentioned, but Li Shimin has one thing that he can't rest assured, and this matter will also determine Li Tai's fate in the future.

I saw Li Shimin suddenly sigh at this time, and only after a while did he speak: "This year is an eventful year in the Tang Dynasty, first your fifth brother rebelled, and then your eldest brother also did such a foolish thing, which made me very sad, but if you really say it, you can't blame them all, after all, it was my father who made a bad example for them!" ”

"Father must not say this, the eldest brother and the fifth brother have done something wrong themselves, what do they have to do with the father?" Li Tai also hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Shimin to even tell the story of the Xuanwu Sect at the beginning, which is a taboo in the royal family.

However, when Li Shimin heard his son's words, he waved his hand weakly and continued: "The son does not teach, the father's fault, this is still a sentence in Li Xiu's "Three Character Classic", I also think it makes sense, so I also have to bear some responsibility for the mistakes of your eldest brother and fifth brother, and now my greatest wish is that your brothers can get along in harmony, and you must not follow my old path!" ”

"Father......" Hearing Li Shimin's emotional words, Li Tai also burst into tears, wanting to open his mouth but not knowing what to say? As for Li Xiu next to him, he pretended to be dumb the whole time, after all, he couldn't interject these words, and he didn't want to interject.

After a long while, I saw that Li Shimin calmed down his excitement, and then took a long breath and continued: "Your eldest brother has been demoted to Quzhou, and your fifth brother is also ready to demote him to other places, and he will not return to Chang'an in the future, as for your other brothers, they also have their own fiefs, but I am most worried about the pheasant slave, he is relatively young, and he has been raised by me in the palace, only two years ago he went to the fiefdom, and his temperament is weak, I have always been at ease with him, you have to take more care of him in the future, Only when your brothers are in harmony can I rest easy! ”

When Li Shimin said the end, he also showed a solemn look, at the beginning, their brothers killed each other, so he didn't want his sons to follow his old path, which was also his only request for Li Tai!
