In the palace, Concubine Wan was grieved.

Why? Because Li Shimin's own son Li Kuan died, Li Kuan died, what was Wan Guifei uncomfortable with?

Then it's time to explain.

Li Yuan's fifth son, Li Zhiyun, died at the end of the Sui Dynasty at the age of fourteen.

Li Zhiyun's mother is now Wan Guifei in the harem.

When Wude was in the third year, Li Yuan succeeded Li Shimin's second son, Li Kuan, to Li Zhiyun. Nominally, Wan Guifei is Li Kuan's grandmother, but in fact, Wan Guifei has also led Li Kuan single-handedly for several years.

It's a pity that this child's life is really bad, maybe it's bad luck, anyway, he died inexplicably.

Although Concubine Wan is old, Li Yuan still loves her very much, and he can't bear to see her so sad.

Li Yuan said: "Don't be sad, human life is up to heaven, this is all creation."

may want to say that creation makes people, but Li Yuan swallowed back the word "make people" again.

"The life of the concubine is too bitter." Wan Guifei told the truth, her son died, and her nominal grandson also died.

If Li Yuan also dies one day, who else can Concubine Wan rely on?

Li Yuan is not stupid, and he understands it. I don't know what Li Yuan remembers, his eyes are shining.

"Concubine Ai don't be sad, how about I pass on King Jin to Zhiyun?"

Concubine Wan immediately stopped crying, looked at Li Yuan in disbelief, and said, "Li Chengzong, King of Jin? The eldest son of the crown prince?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Concubine Wan was not stupid, and then said: "King Jin is the eldest son of the crown prince, how can he pass on to Zhiyun?"

"It's good to be the eldest son, but Chengzong was not born to the crown princess, not a son-in-law! You don't have to worry about this, as long as you don't object, I will settle this matter today. ”

Oppose, don't be joking, who doesn't know that the most prestigious people in the Tang Dynasty today are in addition to Li Yuan's son Prince Li Jiancheng, King Li Shimin of Qin, and Li Yuanji, King of Qi, who is the grandson of Li Chengzong, the king of Jin.

Of course, Concubine Wan was very happy, and Li Yuan also had her own plans.

In the court, although Li Shimin's strength is still the same recently, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and his party are obviously much more fierce than before because of Li Chengzong's relationship.

Li Chengzong, as the prince and his son, of course, must support Li Jiancheng without hesitation, and if there is no support, I am afraid that the strength of this relationship will be much smaller.

If the crown prince ascends the throne, the eldest son Li Chengzong will inevitably compete for the crown prince, and I am afraid that each of Li Jiancheng's other sons at that time will be Li Chengzong's opponent.

Now it is different, Li Chengzong succeeded to Li Zhiyun, Li Jiancheng ascended the throne again, Li Chengzong was completely disqualified to compete for the throne, and then the King of Qin and King Jin and Li Jiancheng will become the trend of the Three Kingdoms, check and balance each other, and the Tang Dynasty will not be stormy.

Li Yuan still has some ability to raise troops from Taiyuan to Chang'an, and he thinks very far.

If he dies, I am afraid that Li Jiancheng will be tired of dealing with Li Shimin, who is eyeing him, and Li Chengzong, who is bent on taking the crown prince, and it will be very bad to cause a big scuffle at that time.

East Palace.

Li Jiancheng received the will to enter the palace, and thought to himself, what is the matter, he has been taught by Li Yuan recently, and Li Jiancheng has some phobia of entering the palace.

A few days ago, Li Chengzong and Li Xiuning had already set off to merge with the state, so they were not in Chang'an.

Should Li Jiancheng be happy? Li Jiancheng is still happy!

Li Yuan's proposal invisibly helped Li Jiancheng solve a ** annoyance, at least a prince who would be quite terrible in the future.

"What does the prince think of this proposal?" Li Yuan asked.

"The sons have no opinions, everything is up to the father."

Happy, Li Yuan thought to himself that fortunately, Li Jiancheng had eyesight and didn't make himself mad.

Pei Lin received the news and praised Li Yuan for playing a good balance.

Lawyer Pei said: "Isn't the emperor doing this completely cutting off the road to King Jin in the future?"

Pei Lin said: "What the emperor wants is this effect, he wants to make the King of Jin a faction of his own, and when the time comes, he will fight against the King of Qin, so that the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly." Look at it, from now on, the strength of King Jin's subordinates will grow rapidly, and it will not be a problem to suppress King Qin in a few years. ”

"No, there are countless military generals in King Qin's Tiance Mansion, and King Jin can't catch up no matter how good he is!" Lawyer Pei said.

Pei Lin smiled and said, "Of course you can't rely on King Jin yourself, but with the emperor's unscrupulous help and support, it is completely possible." As long as Li Chengzong, the king of Jin, succeeded Li Zhiyun, it was nominally impossible to ascend to the throne. That's it, King Jin also had to help the crown prince Li Jiancheng ascend to the throne because he was afraid of King Qin. What's even worse is that he has to support King Qin's party to prevent the prince from being destroyed and being cleaned up by the prince. In the future, I am afraid that in addition to the prince's party and the Qin king's party, this court will also add the Jin king's party. ”

Lawyer Pei couldn't help but sigh that the royal family is chaotic enough.

Shaw House.

What Pei Lin wanted, Xiao Yu also wanted, but Xiao Yu hadn't expected it before.

Xiao Rui said: "My father made a mistake this time, and King Jin can't be the emperor."

Xiao Yu scolded his son for being stupid.

"You know what? What if the King of Jin can't become the emperor, with the support of today's saints, the King of Jin will be a truly powerful prince like the King of Qin and the crown prince in the future. In the future, there will only be three people's voices in the court, and one of them is King Jin. The crown prince ascended the throne, although the king of Jin could not compete for the throne, but he was just as powerful. ”

Xiao Rui couldn't understand, wasn't this Li Yuan deliberately suppressing King Jin? Although I don't understand, Xiao Rui has a good problem, but he doesn't find himself happy, so it's better not to ask!

In addition to Pei Lin and Xiao Yu, there are many ministers who either analyze themselves or exchange experiences, and they are all talking about this matter.

The other side.

Li Shimin, who was far away in Bingzhou, and Li Chengzong, who was on the road, reacted similarly.

Li Shimin was unhappy, very unhappy.

"Everyone should be clear about the father's arrangement, and the death of the father has fulfilled the father's excuse." Li Shimin complained a little.

Fang Xuanling said: "This matter, from the emperor's point of view, is indeed a understandable matter. On the one hand, it suppressed our Qin Palace, on the other hand, it weakened the connection between the King of Jin and the crown prince, and more importantly, it laid the groundwork for the future situation in the court, so as not to let anyone dominate. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I'm afraid that from now on, although the King of Jin will not be able to ascend to the throne of the Great Treasure. But the power will become heavier and heavier, and then the King of Jin will be a sharp sword aimed at the Qin Palace. If King Qin wants to defeat the crown prince again, it will be even more difficult. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "It's best to convince King Jin and help us."

"How is that possible?" The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"If King Qin is willing to establish the emperor's nephew, then it is possible." Fang Xuanling said cautiously.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "I worked hard to win the world, but I want to give it to Li Jiancheng's son?"

The eldest grandson Wuji is also a cow, he supported Fang Xuanling and said: "It's just a name, when you ascend the throne, you don't have to worry about King Jin."

"Let's talk about it later!" Li Shimin can't pass this level in his heart, it's too awkward.

Li Chengzong, who was still on the road, received the will, and he asked everyone again.

"Do you think my life as a prince is endless?" Li Chengzong said.

Everyone was silent, only Li Xiuning said: "Okay, what does a prince look like."

Li Chengzong asked rhetorically: "Auntie, do you know what this holy decree says?"

Li Xiuning is not stupid, of course he knows that Li Chengzong will never be able to ascend to the throne in the future, unless the crown prince and the king of Qin are finished at the same time.

"Enough, no matter what you say now, you are also the commander of the army, and we will talk about it later, don't embarrass our royal family." Li Xiuning said.

Li Chengzong also admitted it, anyway, if he didn't admit it, he couldn't do it, and the holy decree was issued.

Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche glanced at each other, and their thoughts were different.

Shan Xiongxin and Su Dingfang didn't have any ideas, because they had no choice from the beginning.

Suddenly.

The guards outside the tent reported that a large number of enemy troops were found thirty miles outside the camp, numbering more than 10,000.

"How so?" Li Chengzong shouted in panic.
