The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "He can even kill his own son, he will pass the throne to the King of Jin, do you think it is possible?" ”

Li Shimin was silent.

After he returned to the study, he asked Ma Xuanliang the same question separately.

Ma Xuanliang's answer is the same as that of the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Ma Xuanliang to retreat. He leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Li Shimin was in a very bad mood, he suddenly felt sad, and the figures of his sons kept flashing in his mind, over and over again, like a marquee.

At this time, Princess Yangcheng asked to see her.

Li Shimin was in a better mood when he saw his daughter, and he said: "Yangcheng, why did you come over today, how are you doing after marriage?" ”

Yang Cheng said: "Father Xie is worried. Erchen is very good. ”

Li Shimin asked, "You came here today, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Cheng said: "Father, last night, the brother of the concubine, found the concubine and asked him to ask his son to forward a recital. The colt was very embarrassed, but the stakes were so high that he had to let his sons come over. ”

Li Shimin said: "Take it." ”

After Yangcheng handed it to Li Shimin, he said: "Father, the son won't bother you, I'm going to the queen mother." ”

Li Shimin patted her shoulder lovingly, smiled and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

After Yangcheng left, Li Shimin picked up Du Gou's piece and looked at it, sighed, and put it in the drawer.

Two days later, the morning pilgrimage.

Before the last dynasty, the ministers all saw Li Ke, the king of Chuzhou County, who had already decided to go to Chuzhou to take up his post, and he had not been in the court recently, but he appeared here today.

Then, everyone saw Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who also appeared here. He was still young and did not have the qualifications to go to court.

and Li Xiaogong's court nobles who can't wait for the court are also here.

These phenomena show that there is going to be a big move in the court today, and it should be necessary to determine the candidate for the crown prince.

Sure enough, as soon as he went to the court, Li Shimin said directly: "The content of today's morning dynasty is just one thing - the matter of establishing a prince." ”

The ministers pricked up their ears and wondered what the outcome would be.

Li Tai is looking forward to it, and he believes that today is a good day for him to take the position. He looked at Li Ke and Li Zhi, waiting to see what they looked like when they proclaimed themselves to him.

Li Tai's subordinates were also looking forward to it, and everyone was excited. Their dragon skills can't run, and the future soaring is just around the corner.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled secretly in his heart, he thought that Li Tai was finished, and Li Zhi's position as the crown prince was ironclad. Li Zhi has a cowardly personality and listens to him as an uncle in everything. In the future, the good days of his eldest grandson Wuji will come.

Chu Suiliang and others, who have already passed through the anger with the eldest grandson Wuji, are also full of expectations.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the ministers in the main hall. After a long time, he said, "Cen text, read the holy decree." ”

In general, the decree is announced by the eunuch. Today, it was announced by the text of the Chinese scholar Lang Cen, and it was really an important decision to be announced. It must be the new crown prince!

Everyone's attention was more focused, for fear of missing a word.

Cen Wenwen read: "Wei King Li Tai ......" Reading this, he paused for a moment.

As soon as these four words came out, Li Tai and the others were suddenly elated, and Yan Liben and the others even cheered.

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart rose to his throat. A heart flickered and sank.

Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, Wei Zheng and others also had ugly faces.

Cen Wenwen then read: "Li Tai, the king of Wei, has misbehaved and has negative hopes, and now he has been removed from the title of prince and demoted to the king of Shunyang County. ”

Cen Wenwen's voice was like a thunderclap, shaking the hall silently.

Li Tai couldn't believe his ears. All of a sudden, I was stunned! His men were all dumbfounded.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the stunned Li Tai and smiled secretly in his heart.

Cen Wenwen said: "Li Tai, the king of Shunyang County, thank you for your order." ”

Li Tai came to his senses, he did not answer the order, but asked: "Father, what did the son-in-law do wrong, to belittle the son-in-law?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Isn't it clear what you did yourself? ”

Li Tai said: "Erchen hasn't done anything, I don't know. ”

Li Shimin said: "Do you really want me to tell you? Li Shimin saved face for him.

Li Tai's mood fell from the clouds all at once. He lost his mind, and said with a stiff neck: "Erchen doesn't know, please tell me clearly." ”

Li Shimin was also angry, he picked up a book and threw it directly.

Li Tai picked up the music from the ground, looked at it a few times, and sat down on the ground at once. Li Shimin shouted: "Ma Xuanliang." ”

"The minister is here." Ma Xuanliang said.

"Escort Li Tai into the Beiye Court. Wang Jue, Yan Liben, and Ma Qianli were escorted to the Criminal Department and dealt with after listening. Li Shimin said.

Ma Xuanliang took the guards and escorted Li Tai and others away.

In the main hall, the officials didn't know what was going on, but seeing the performance of Li Tai and the others, they knew that they must have committed a crime.

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart was full of joy, knowing that the position of the crown prince must be Li Zhi's. He and Chu Suiliang glanced at each other, their eyes full of smiles.

Li Shimin said: "Someone once told me that I am a good emperor, but I am not a good father.

Now, I admit it. My sons, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li You, are all so uncompetitive, it seems that I am really a failed father. ”

At this time, Li Xiaogong stood up, and he said: "Your Majesty, you have not failed, you have a very good son, he is His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

Wei Zheng stood up, and he said excitedly: "King Li Jun is right, let the ministers talk about it." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Since the sixth year of Zhenguan, His Royal Highness King Liang has foiled the conspiracy of Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan......"

Wei Zheng told King Liang's exploits one by one for half an hour. In the end, he said: "His Royal Highness King Liang is also the emperor's son, and he was also raised by you, which proves your wisdom and greatness the emperor, and proves that you are a successful father." ”

Then, Li Jing, Cen Wenwen, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Kong Yingda, Ma Zhou and others praised the character and merits of His Royal Highness King Liang from different angles.

Most of the officials in the hall agreed with them.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, you are proud to have such an excellent prince. He is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince. ”

Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji did not speak, and asked, "Eldest grandson Wuji, what do you think of King Liang?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The minister admires His Royal Highness King Liang very much, he is indeed your outstanding prince, and he is indeed a good candidate for the crown prince."

However, God is jealous of talents, and His Royal Highness King Liang died young, which is a pity. ”

Li Shimin asked: "Everyone, Aiqing, if King Liang is alive, let him be the crown prince, are you willing?" ”

"Yes." There was a chorus of approval in the hall, and most of them were from the heart.

"Hahahaha." Li Shimin laughed, and he said, "King Liang, come out!" ”
