The eldest grandson Wuji has to ask his son the eldest grandson Chong every day about the matter of the crown prince Li Chengqian, for Li Chengqian's decadent state, he, who is an uncle, is very anxious and helpless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He discussed with Empress Changsun and decided not to let Li Chengqian come out to do things for the time being, giving him a chance to restore his confidence.

The streets of Chang'an City.

The crown prince is the prince, which is related to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and there are naturally many people who care about this matter, so the people have a lot of discussions.

In a tavern, a few scholarly people were drinking and chatting. During the Tang Dynasty, there was no literary prison, and the people still had a certain degree of freedom of speech.

A thin-faced scholar said: "I haven't heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and I don't know if his leg is healed." ”

A fat scholar said, "His leg injury has healed. A relative of my sister-in-law was on an errand in the East Palace, and he could often see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking around the courtyard. ”

A sallow scholar asked, "Is it true that there are rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's temperament has changed drastically?" ”

The fat scholar said: "Alas, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood, it is true that he loves to get angry, and my sister-in-law's relative was punished by him for a trivial matter. In the East Palace now, everyone is very careful when they are on errands. ”

The skinny scholar said, "I've seen that the rumors are true. To say that His Royal Highness the Prince's ability and bearing are really not as good as His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the most energetic, capable and courageous, a while ago, the food shortage in Chang'an City was solved by him, and the emperor appreciated him very much. ”

Next, several people discussed it again, and they seemed to have a good impression of Li Ke. It is no wonder that for the people of Chang'an City, the food shortage problem in Chang'an City a while ago was deeply impressed, and solving the problem of eating is a major matter related to vital interests. As for other people's achievements in stabilizing the grassland, it has nothing to do with them.

Not only here, rumors spread in Chang'an City, and the prestige of the crown prince Li Chengqian further declined.

There are people who come out to do business in the East Palace every day, and these news will inevitably spread to the East Palace. No one dared to tell the crown prince Li Chengqian to know, but it caused panic among the officials in the East Palace.

Following the prince on an errand used to be something that everyone envied, but if the prince fell, these people would be unlucky. As a result, the news quickly gathered into the ears of the crown prince Zhang Xuansu.

The eldest grandson is on the house.

Zhang Xuansu said worriedly: "Lord Eldest Sun, you are the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you heard all the rumors in the market?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and said, "I heard that the rumors are very unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he must cheer up as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xuansu thought so deeply and said, "I came this time to discuss this matter with you. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "First of all, you and the Queen Mother should further encourage His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and cheer up his spirits. Secondly, to publicize the exploits of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with great fanfare.

In recent years, the institute and the Ministry of Industry have made many achievements, all of which have been achieved under the guidance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you have managed to persuade the Emperor to vigorously commend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's merits, and these achievements will surely win the praise of the people. This helped to increase the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and build his confidence. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was very happy and said, "Good way, just do it." ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "I also have an idea, I want to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a chance to do a big thing, preferably a major event related to the vital interests of the people's lives, so that his prestige can be greatly enhanced." If the crown prince is supported by the people, his self-confidence will surely be restored. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "This matter is difficult, what can be related to the vital interests of the people?" Where to find such a thing? ”

Zhang Xuansu smiled: "Have you forgotten, there is also His Royal Highness King Liang?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized and said with a smile: "How did I forget him." Well, these things, just do what you want. King Liang, I'll go and say it myself. ”

Besides, that day in the Liang Palace, Du He finally said what he and Li Dan had been holding back in their hearts for a long time. He said: "Brother Su, we feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really not the best candidate to inherit the unification, according to the way he is in front of him, he will come out of the East Palace sooner or later, the King of Shu and the King of Wei are competing for this position, we feel that you are more suitable for this position, and we all support you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Su was taken aback! He looked nervously out, knowing that no one would eavesdrop, but he was still terrified. He said, "Don't say it, you're going to kill me." ”

Li Dan was also afraid, but since he had already said it, he gritted his teeth and persevered. He and Du He are both the sons of top elites, and they have been exposed to the disputes of the imperial court since they were children.

They used to follow Li Su and support the crown prince Li Chengqian, and they were already regarded as the prince's party. If the crown prince falls, whether Li Ke or Li Tai comes to power, they will have no good fruit to eat. If Li Su can take the position, it will be different.

Li Dan said: "Brother Su, tell me, we are all the prince's people, the prince is not angry, he is very likely to be kicked out of the East Palace." If we are replaced by someone else, what can we do? Not only us, but also our families will be implicated.

For our own sake and for our families, you have to take this responsibility. ”

Li Su was extremely depressed in his heart, he didn't want to be the emperor, the position of the emperor is the hardest position in the world, there are no friends, and he must always beware of open guns and dark arrows. For example, the later Cuban leader Fidel Castro encountered hundreds of assassinations in his lifetime.

The emperor lives in endless troubles every day, and it is a headache to think about.

Li Dan's words are also reasonable, and they are very reasonable. Li Su knows the direction of history, Li Chengqian fell, and in the end, the princes ended very miserably, and the original Li Su, Li Dan, and Du He all died.

Li Su knew that he had no choice now, for the sake of Concubine Yang, Li Dan, Du He, Qibi Wuyun, Begonia and Ning'er, it was for himself, he had to fight, and he had to win!

Finally, he said, "Well, in that case, let's discuss the future." ”

All day that day, the trio conspired and devised a complex and sprawling plan.

It was December 24, 635 C.E. Since then, Li Su and others have embarked on the road of hegemony.

Rest day, Liang Wangfu.

One and a half days off every seven days is a work system set by the institute itself. On this day, Li Su is enjoying this holiday. The eldest grandson Wuji came to visit.
