Only the three of them knew what Li Er and Eldest Sun Wuji said, Li Er and Eldest Sun Wuji naturally wouldn't say it, and Chen Gui didn't dare to say anything.

After the end of the Taiji Palace, the Wu Wangfu and the Wei Wangfu were lively, and the deposed prince was already a sure thing, so the canonization of the new prince was inevitable, and now only the king of Wu and the king of Wei were qualified to compete for the crown prince, and their hearts were immediately active as soon as the prince fell.

Li Tai's little fat man has been running the Lizheng Palace very diligently these days, and he is also extremely diligent and filial to the eldest grandson queen, how could such a shrewd person as the eldest grandson queen not know Li Tai's careful thoughts, but Li Chengqian's rebellion is no less painful in her heart than Li Er, where do you have the heart to think about other things, besides, she never interferes in political affairs, and naturally she will not come forward in the matter of the crown prince.

Li Tai persevered, Empress Changsun was his biological mother, he knew the status of Empress Changsun in Li Er's heart, and her words worked better than anyone else.

In addition, he also sent someone to the eldest grandson Wuji's house, which can be regarded as fully prepared, his biological mother is the queen, and his uncle is the head of the courtiers.

In comparison, Li Ke's background is a little worse, but Li Ke is more humble and stable than Li Tai on weekdays, and his appearance is extraordinary, so he has won the favor of many ministers, which is the most important bargaining chip in his hand.

What made him feel helpless was that the battle between the princes had reached the point of tension, but his mother, Concubine Yang, did not let him enter the palace to find her, and she did not mean to help at all.

Just when he was anxious and worried, news came from the palace that Concubine Yang was sick.

Li Ke's heart moved. He knew that this was Concubine Yang who allowed him to enter the palace. immediately brought supplements into the palace to visit Concubine Yang.

When he arrived at Jiaoshu Palace, Li Ke was anxious to speak as soon as he saw Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang coughed twice before he reacted, and waved away the people in the hall, and only their mother and son were left in the Jiaoshu Palace, and then they hurriedly said: "Mother, why don't you let your sons enter the palace?" ”

After everyone in the hall retreated, Concubine Yang's sickness disappeared, and she stood up and sat on the couch and whispered: "This is what you let into the palace today." ”

Li Ke immediately bowed his head and listened, and Concubine Yang whispered: "After today, until Your Majesty officially canonizes the crown prince, you will not enter the palace, not only that, but you will rarely interact with the ministers of the court and the central government during this time." ”

Li Ke was shocked when he heard this: "Why is this! The concubine knows. That Li Tai has frequently entered the palace to see the queen recently, it must be for the prince's business, and he also sent someone to the eldest grandson's mansion to say. Could it be ...... The mother concubine doesn't want her sons to compete for the position of the prince? ”

Concubine Yang shook her head and said, "The reason why I asked you to do this is precisely for your position as the crown prince. ”

Seeing Li Ke's puzzled face, Concubine Yang said: "The prince rebelled against Your Majesty, but he abolished his position as the crown prince and demoted him to the king of Qian, it can be seen that Your Majesty's feelings for the prince are still very deep, if you are very enthusiastic about the position of the prince at this time, it will only cause Your Majesty to dislike." ”

"But ......"

Li Ke was about to speak, and Concubine Yang interrupted: "You have to remember how Your Majesty ascended the throne of God. ”

Everyone knows the changes in Xuanwumen, Li Ke immediately understood what Concubine Yang meant, Concubine Yang nodded and said: "In fact, it is useless for anyone to say that the position of the crown prince is all based on His Majesty's heart, and His Majesty is most jealous of the prince's rivalry." You have to keep that in mind. ”

Li Ke was already smart, and after listening to Concubine Yang's words, he had completely figured out the key. nodded and said, "Then I'll close the door from tomorrow?" ”

Concubine Yang shook her head and said: "It's not necessary to close the door to thank guests, you have to go to the prince's mansion to visit the prince more, after all, you are brothers." ”

Li Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly sighed that his mother was thoughtful, the prince was deposed and would lose power, if he went to visit him at this time, he could reflect his brotherhood, and if he had a good relationship with the prince, then the power behind the prince could also become his own power, and it was really a double win.

Seeing that Li Ke understood what he meant, Concubine Yang smiled with relief.

"There's one more person you have to take care of."

Li Ke was puzzled: "Who?" Listening to Concubine Yang's tone, it seemed that this person was more important than the crown prince, which made Li Ke very surprised.

"The history of the prince's mansion."

"The history of the Prince's Mansion?"

Seeing this, Concubine Yang smiled slightly and said slowly: "That is, Prince Jiayuan Houxin." ”

"Him!" Li Ke exclaimed in surprise and said suspiciously: "Didn't the mother concubine say that the canonization of the crown prince is all based on the heart of the father, and what others say is useless, could it be that this prince's new words are more effective than the queen and the eldest grandson?" ”

At the beginning, he also tried to win over Wang Xiang, but Wang Xiang has always turned a blind eye to his courtship, and since Wang Xiang left Chang'an and went south to Xunzhou, he has rarely seen him, so over time, Li Ke has not done it again, and only then did he think of him when he heard Concubine Yang mention it.

Concubine Yang nodded and said: "This person's status in His Majesty's heart is only afraid that even the eldest grandson Wuji will not be able to enter, and the crown prince's rebellion will only be his contribution to the king." ”

Li Ke was puzzled: "I heard that it was the eldest grandson Wuji who interceded for the prince in the palace, His Majesty ......."

Concubine Yang shook her head and said, "Before this, Your Majesty had asked the prince to go to the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and then discussed with him alone for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Li Ke already understood, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that the seven-rank eunuch who was walking around in the harem with the palace walking waist card given by his father has grown like this. ”

"He has a good relationship with the prince and is the chief of the prince's mansion, he often visits after the prince's accident, if he encounters it, he must grasp it well, if there are strange people today, His Majesty is more and more dependent on him, and it will be much easier for him to help the prince."

……

After coming out of the palace, Li Ke rarely interacted with the ministers of the court and the central government according to Concubine Yang's wishes, let alone the matter of establishing the prince, as if he didn't care about the position of the prince, but often went to the prince's mansion to talk with Li Chengqian.

Since Li Chengqian's rebellion and the deposed crown prince, the ministers of the court and other princes have avoided him, only Li Zhi and Wang Xiang often come to visit him, at this time, seeing that Li Ke did not fight for the position of the crown prince, but came to comfort himself Li Chengqian's heart was very moved, remembering that he was still a little embarrassed to be wary of Li Ke before.

Wang Xiang saw Li Ke's thoughts clearly, but he didn't break it, because he knew that everything Li Tai and Li Ke did was in vain.

For a time, Li Tai ran around for the position of the crown prince, but Li Ke had no intention of fighting, and made peace with Li Chengqian and Li Zhi's brothers.

The call for support for Li Tai as the crown prince in the Taiji Palace is getting louder and louder, but Li Er still has not clarified the candidate for the prince.

The position of the prince has been hanging and not standing naturally inappropriate, and on this day, when the Taiji Hall was deliberating, the ministers discussed the matter of canonizing the prince. Li Er nodded and asked people to announce that Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, went to the palace, and everyone knew that the position of the crown prince would probably have a result today.
