Chapter 43 The Establishment of the Prince

Daming Palace is a famous palace in the Tang capital. It was built in the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and it was the summer palace that Taizong of the Tang Dynasty repaired to the ancestor Li Yuan, which was used to avoid the office.

At that time, the palace of the Tang Dynasty was mainly the Taiji Palace, which issued political orders and military orders, and dealt with national affairs in the Taiji Palace. However, Tai Chi Palace has a disadvantage, that is, the terrain is slightly shorter, some damp, and uninhabitable. Therefore, Tang Taizong decided to build the Daming Palace in Longyuan to avoid Gaozu Li Yuan.

During the reign of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, it became the place where the emperor of the Tang Dynasty dealt with political affairs.

One of the biggest benefits of Daming Palace is that it is dry here, and there is no longer the dampness of Taiji Palace.

There are many palaces in Daming Palace, the palace is very magnificent, and many government decrees and military orders with heavy historical significance are issued here, transmitted to all parts of the empire, and then strictly enforced.

Hanyuan Palace, is the main hall of Daming Palace, is the main place to hold the court. Today, the Hanyuan Hall is crowded, and there are countless people who come to the court, because today is the first big court meeting after the capital, as long as the officials in Beijing, regardless of the size of the official position, will come.

"The Great Dynasty Meeting, how many years have it been since the Great Dynasty Meeting was held in Hanyuan Palace."

"Yes, I miss Hanyuan Hall so much."

"Hanyuan Palace, Hanyuan Palace, many of the world-shocking government and military orders of the Tang Dynasty were issued here, spread all over the country, and were strictly enforced. Now, Hanyuan Hall is back to its pomp, which is rare. ”

The ministers gathered in groups and sighed loudly.

From the period of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the main government and military orders of the Tang Dynasty were issued in the Hanyuan Palace, and there were even many heavy decrees, which affected the trend of history. Since Wu Zetian set the capital of Luoyang. It's abandoned here. Less noticed.

Now. The court meeting was held again in Hanyuan Palace, and the ministers could not help but feel emotional.

"The King of Chu is here. The king of Chu is here. At this moment, when the ministers saw Li Longji arrive, they smiled and saluted Li Longji.

Also arriving with Li Longji were Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi, but because Li Longji was famous in the world, the ministers automatically ignored the two and were busy saluting Li Longji.

"Follow the third brother. We're being left out in the cold. Li Chengji smiled and joked.

"If you go to see a beauty, don't go with your third brother." Li Chengyi teased.

"Haha." The ministers laughed loudly, Li Chengyi's words were quite funny.

With Li Longji's prestige, handsome, if he goes to see a beauty with Li Longji, there is nothing to do with Li Chengji and Li Chengyi, it is definitely a foil.

Li Chengyi's joke, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. The ministers talked and laughed, and they were very happy.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" That's when it happened. I only heard Jia Ming's thin voice sound.

The ministers were busy and stood up according to the shift, all with solemn faces.

I saw Li Dan wearing a crown on his head, wearing a royal robe, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, his big sleeves fluttered, and his expression was flying, which was very different from the past.

In the past, Li Dan was careful in everything and cautious everywhere, but now that he is the emperor, he has a little more vigor and a little more majesty.

Coming to the throne, Li Dan glanced at the ministers and sat down.

"See Majesty." The ministers were busy saluting.

"Flat." Li Dan lightly opened Chrysostom.

"Thank you." The ministers thanked him and stood up.

"Today is the first great court meeting after returning to the capital, and your faces are full of joy, and you can see that your hearts are happy. I didn't tell you, but I was very happy. Li Dan said with a smile on his face.

"Huh." The ministers burst into laughter, all of them rejoicing.

"Joy is joy, state affairs still have to be disposed of, and there is a book to play." Li Dan said.

Then it was the ministers who began to do their work. Although it has been returned, there are a lot of things to deal with, and this performance is time-consuming.

Finally came to an end, Li Dan asked, "Is there still a performance?" ”

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, no one plays.

"If there is no music, then I will say one thing." Li Dan stood up, his eyes widened, and said: "Everyone knows that the matter of establishing the prince has been quarrelling and quarrelling for nearly ten years, and it is difficult to make a decision, so that all kinds of unsightly things have emerged in an endless stream. I thought about it, this matter of establishing a prince cannot be delayed, it is better to establish it early. ”

Wu Zetian quarreled and quarreled for nearly ten years for the establishment of the crown prince, and in order to become the prince, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi did a lot of unsightly things, and they hurt Li Dan many times, and Li Dan was nine deaths.

"I have six sons, and the adults have the eldest son, the second son, and the third son, Longji." Li Dan looked at Li Longji's three brothers and said slowly: "I can become the emperor because of Longji's merits, if Longji is the crown prince, it is a matter of course." However, he was the oldest and was the prince. How to decide, please also ask the secretaries to speak freely. ”

Li Longji is extraordinary, and he single-handedly put Li Dan on the throne, if there was no Li Longji, Li Dan would not have become the emperor. It is even possible that he was killed. Li Longji has made great contributions and made him the crown prince, which is justifiable.

However, Li Chengqi is the eldest son, and when Li Dan first became emperor, he was made the crown prince, and he is also qualified to be the crown prince.

The ministers looked at Li Chengqi and Li Longji, and no one spoke.

The two are "virtuous" and "long", each with its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on which angle it comes from. This matter is really difficult to decide, and the ministers can't help but be cautious.

"Elder Guo, what do you think?" Li Dan had no choice but to name him.

"This ......" The matter of establishing the prince came suddenly, Di Renjie didn't know how to distinguish it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "One is old, one is virtuous, it can be long or virtuous, and please ask Your Majesty to judge." ”

"You...... It's better not to say that. Li Dan was very angry, it was precisely because Li Dan was difficult to decide for a while, so he asked the ministers to discuss, Di Renjie was good and ambiguous.

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know how to distinguish it." Di Renjie hurriedly explained.

"Zhang Cambodia, what do you think?" Li Dan asked Zhang Khan Zhi.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really difficult to decide." Zhang Cambodia groaned and said: "If it is long, Datang will not have a problem, at least it will not move in all directions." If it is a virtuous person, Datang will advocate greatness. How to deal with it, please also ask Your Majesty to dispose of it. ”

Although Li Chengji is not as talented as Li Longji. But it's not bad. Also a shrewd person. There will be absolutely no problem with keeping it.

Li Longji's talent goes without saying, he has proved it with his extraordinary achievements, if he is made the crown prince, it is likely to be another Tang Taizong, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous.

How to choose, it depends on what Li Dan thinks.

"What about Yao Chong?" Li Dan gave Zhang Khan a blank look, you didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should be the king of Chu." Yao Chong is a staunch follower of Li Longji. immediately expressed his attitude and said: "The king of Chu is wise, intelligent, galloping across the field, breaking the Turks, destroying the Khitan, and establishing immortal feats." Emperor Taizong is so old, and he has not yet performed such miraculous feats. If the king of Chu is appointed as the crown prince, the Tang Dynasty will be glorious and all countries will submit. ”

"That's right."

"I support the King of Chu."

"The king of Chu will be the crown prince."

Yao Chong's words just fell. A chorus sounded, and the entire Hanyuan Hall buzzed.

"What Master Yao said is certainly reasonable. The wisdom of the king of Chu is also convinced, but the young and the young are orderly, how can there be a reason to be a brother and a brother, and the minister thinks that he should be the elder. "The order of the young and the old was very marketable in ancient times, and there were ministers who immediately refuted it.

"That's right. The way of a country must be established, first growing and then young. If you make a prince, you will grow up. Immediately, the minister agreed.

The young and the old were orderly, and they were very powerful in ancient times, and there were many ministers who responded.

Song Jing immediately retorted and said: "The elder and the young are important, but the Tang Dynasty has always appointed the prince to be virtuous, not the eldest and youngest. Taizong was originally the second son of Gaozu, and was made the crown prince because of his great merit, the establishment of the world, and the creation of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong, not the eldest son, was also made the crown prince, and the Tang Dynasty has its own way of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to follow the way of the elder and the youngest. ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

A chorus of responses rang out.

The emperor Tang Taizong, who was not the eldest son of Li Yuan, was made the crown prince, which is a living example, and it will not be possible if the ministers do not respond.

Of course, it is impossible for all ministers to respond, and there are always some old-fashioned ministers who insist on the order of the elder and the young, saying: "The intention of the ancestor to establish a long is not strong, so there is a change in the Xuanwu Gate, and the flesh and blood are fratricidal." Your Majesty, when you learn a lesson, it is advisable to stand up. It is also necessary to suppress the power of the king of Chu. ”

"That's right. Emperor Taizong was too powerful and had too much credit, and the prince felt a huge threat and had to deal with Emperor Taizong, which led to the change of Xuanwu Gate, and asked His Majesty to think twice. "There are ministers who strongly support the order of the elder and the younger.

A word from you and a word from me is difficult to decide for a while.

Li Dan's brows furrowed.

"Okay, don't argue, I'll say a few words." Li Chengqi took a step forward, waved his hand to stop the ministers from arguing, and said, "I am very grateful that you have taken a fancy to me Li Chengqi." But I want to be fair, if there was no third brother, our family would have been killed a long time ago, how can we have today's glory and wealth. I think I am not as good as the third brother, and the position of the prince is none other than the third brother. ”

In history, Li Chengqi took the initiative to resign as the crown prince, which fell to Li Longji. Now, he still took the initiative to resign.

"Big brother." Li Longji admires this big brother very much.

Emperor, who doesn't want to be? In order to be an emperor, you can do everything you cannibalize. Princess Taiping, Wu Sansi, and Wu Chengsi are living proof, and Li Chengqi took the initiative to give up, no matter how much praise is overstated.

"Ahh The ministers were shocked, and their faces were incredulous.

"Did I hear me right?"

"Has anyone abdicated the throne?"

"This seems to be only recorded in history books, how did I encounter it?"

The shocked ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and there are many discussions.

Even Li Dan was shocked, staring at Li Chengqi with round eyes.

"You heard me right, I won't be the crown prince." Li Chengqi affirmed again.

"Really? This...... is so noble, only Zhou Gong can compare with it. The ministers praised Li Chengqi greatly.

"Second brother, I'm not the crown prince anymore, you won't fight, right?" Li Chengqi said to Li Chengyi.

"Big brother, where did you say. You are the eldest son, you are no longer the prince, can I still fight for the second son? Our family is protected by the third brother, and the position of the prince belongs to the third brother. Li Chengyi said to Li Dan: "I also ask my father to issue an edict to make the third brother the crown prince." ”

"Good!" Li Dan happily agreed, and said with a smile: "For the position of the prince, you can kill each other, it's better for you to let it go." With a brother as close as you, my father is pleased. Message: Li Longji is the crown prince. ”

A matter that was originally difficult to decide, because of Li Chengqi's initiative to give up, there was an immediate result.

The auspicious day was chosen, and Li Dan officially issued an order to make Li Longji the crown prince. (To be continued......)
