Since Li Chengqian left Chang'an, it marks that the position of the prince of the Tang Dynasty is completely vacant, and naturally some people have taken action.

The frequency of Li Tai, the king of Wei, has been obviously higher recently, the reason is that a son dies, a son flows, and his father is inevitably sad recently.

According to the news from the palace, His Royal Highness King Wei seems to be very in line with His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts, and the father and son get along very well. As the number of times King Wei entered the palace increased, His Majesty Li Er's gloomy face finally began to smile.

This is a clear sign, what does it mean that a certain prince is particularly favored at this time?

Therefore, many people in the government and the opposition are thinking, it seems that His Royal Highness King Wei has entered the East Palace, which is not surprising, King Wei is the second son of Empress Wende's eldest grandson.

According to the inheritance system, after the accident of the eldest son Li Chengqian, it is very reasonable for the second son to succeed to the throne. What's more, His Royal Highness King Wei himself is brilliant in literature and has a very high prestige in the government and the opposition.

As for the previous rumors that the abolished prince Li Chengqian accused him of seeking a prince, it has now disappeared with Li Tai's intercession for Li Chengqian.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor is so fond of King Wei, it seems that it is enough to explain the problem, and the position of the prince seems to be in Li Tai's pocket.

After a little longer, Li Tai himself also had this illusion, so he deliberately looked for an opportunity to pounce in his father's arms and ask him to be the crown prince.

It's hard to imagine the scene of a fat man in his twenties throwing himself into his father's arms and begging for something, anyway, Li Tai did it, and the history books also recorded it very clearly, and the words are conclusive.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er almost agreed directly, but in the end he did not make a clear statement.

This attitude suddenly made Li Tai a little flustered and a little uneasy, what kind of medicine was sold in his father's gourd, obviously he was so favored by himself, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Trust is there.

In the eyes of everyone, this is the treatment that a prince should have, but why does he not nod his head on key issues in the end, that is, he does not give himself this title?

Could it be that the father and the emperor are all pretending? But after getting along for a long time, Li Tai was very sure that the fatherly feelings in his father's eyes were not pretended. Looking at himself and looking at Jinyang Princess Li Mingda is completely the same look, this is the father's love for his children.

But why?

Does my father plan to pass on the throne to him? Or are you not planning to save now, or are you going to examine yourself for a while?

Unable to touch his father's thoughts, Li Tai was like a monk in the second chapter for a while, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

"Why did my father do this?" In the palace of King Wei, Li Tai asked softly.

Liu Xuan was also a little puzzled. When Li Chengqian was deposed, the emperor's series of performances made him think that the position of prince belonged to Li Tai.

But this small change suddenly made them all a little nervous and apprehensive, Liu Xuan muttered: "Could it be that Your Majesty heard something?" ”

They know what the rumor is, Li Tai was a little nervous, and then shook his head and said: "No, if my father noticed something, I'm afraid it won't be the attitude it is now." This king thinks that his father may be worried about something, but what is he worried about? ”

Liu Xuan couldn't help but start to speculate secretly. But he couldn't give an accurate answer, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "My subordinates can't say it, it's best to consult Du Changshi for this kind of thing." ”

"Yes, Du Changshi is well-informed. I must be able to grasp my father's intentions, but he is not in Chang'an now, so this matter ......" Li Tai shook his head helplessly, very regretful.

Du Chuke is the secretary of the Ministry of Works. Some time ago, the Yellow River was flooded, and the canal east of Luoyang was destroyed, affecting the passage of boats. Chang'an has a large population. The grain is all dependent on the transportation from the south of the Yangtze River, and if something goes wrong, the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an will go hungry.

Therefore, it is a great matter to repair the canal as soon as possible, and he, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, had to rush forward to preside over the maintenance of the canal. So much so that he was not in Chang'an, and he didn't care about the size of the Wei Palace, so Li Tai had no way to ask.

An important think tank is very important, especially a well-informed think tank that can see through the truth in the mist.

There are many such people in the court, but they are all ranked as Zaifu, three dukes and nine kings, and they will definitely not be easily mixed into the prince, let alone act rashly in the matter of the prince.

If you are lucky, you will be lucky, but if you are unlucky, what will happen? Hou Junji's lessons from the past are still there, and he is always vigilant.

For these high-ranking ministers, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, they will rarely have to rely on reusing them, so why take the risk in order to go further?

Of course, there are some special people among them, who will have thoughts about the position of prince for some special reasons, but they are also very cautious.

Li Tai is also helpless, and there is only one person available around him, Du Chuke, who is not in Chang'an now, and he doesn't know when he will return. He also thought about asking for help from his uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, who knew that there was no way to ask for help!

Since the accident of Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson Wuji hid directly in the Nanshan Courtyard on the grounds of recuperation, and it is said that he is still participating in Zen and enlightenment, and now he is also refining the furnace.

Uncle Guotang, when the dynasty was commonplace, he actually started these things, is the eldest grandson Wuji really obsessed with Huang Lao's learning? Li Tai felt that the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to avoid some people, including himself.

Cunning and cunning!

To some extent, it was also a very dangerous signal, which made Li Tai very uneasy, so he had to summon some of the limited level of thinkers.

There has never been a shortage of talents in the palace of the Wei Dynasty, and a few years ago the compilation of the "Chronicles of the Territory", there was a literary museum in the palace, which gathered a lot of talents. In the past, because of the reign of the crown prince, Li Tai, as the prince, only dared to openly compile books and engage in some literary events, but he did not dare to blatantly engage in conspiracy and trickery.

Now that the East Palace is empty, there are a lot less scruples, so Li Tai selected some people from them and became his own think tank under the leadership of Liu Xuan. Although they are not as good as Du Chuke, there is a saying that three stinkers can be worth one Zhuge Liang, and they can have some effect.

The first task of the think tank was to find out His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts, why did His Majesty the Emperor not immediately respond to His Royal Highness King Wei's request to appoint the crown prince? And put forward countermeasures.

Not to mention, the stinkers have been analyzing for a long time and have really come to a conclusion. They believed that it was the two rebellions of Li Chengqian and Li You that stimulated His Majesty the Emperor and made him very concerned about fratricide. Of course, this may also have something to do with His Majesty's fear of a repeat of the tragedy of the Xuanwumen Revolution.

This conclusion woke up Li Tai at once, it seems that this is indeed the truth, the father is worried, worried that he will not be able to treat his brother well in the future! (To be continued.) )
