The eldest grandson's face was slightly red, and he said: "Establishing a prince is the foundation of the country, and I am a woman and a Taoist family, what can I think of?" Besides, you haven't succeeded to the throne, so how can you talk about making a prince? Brother, this matter is Li Tang's family matter, and outsiders can't talk about it. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a solemn expression: "Sister, although I am an outsider, but your family affairs are my business, in my opinion, the emperor will definitely issue an edict of abdication tomorrow morning, who is the emperor?" Emperor! Now that the situation is in front of him, why should he embarrass himself, so it is imperative to elect a new crown prince. ”

"Brother Eldest Sun, let me discuss this matter with Wu Wu again."

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin say this, he immediately understood that he was giving an order to expel guests.

It is clear who he wants to appoint as the next prince, and he doesn't want him as an outsider to participate.

So, he said curtly: "Okay, retire for the minister." ”

The eldest grandson Wuwu's face sank and asked, "Wait, brother, what did you just say?" ”

"For the minister, worry-free, you are too cautious, it's all on this, the people are the king, I am the minister, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Wrong, brother, Shimin has not yet been established as the emperor, and he must not leave food for others."

The eldest grandson Wuji clasped his hands and said, "Okay." I lost my words for my brother. ”

Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji leaving, the eldest grandson said without worry: "Shimin, my brother's words are also reasonable, I just want to take the opportunity to tell him that relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics." Qian'er and Tai'er were both born to me, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, but the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. It's just that Qian'er's child is too playful, and I'm worried that he may not be able to take on a big role in the future. ”

Li Shimin agreed: "Those who know me have no worries. I think so too, but Qian'er is still too young, just train well. ”

"So good, it's up to you. You say, will Tyer have thoughts about the crown prince's position? ”

"What does a furry kid know? I found that Tai'er is very sensible although he is young, and he has changed so much from before, it is all good for you to be a mother. ”

The eldest grandson said: "I feel the same way, but fortunately, his changes make people happy." Shimin, what do you want to do most after you ascend the throne? ”

"Of course, it is to rectify the country, recruit talents, and achieve great achievements. Hahaha. ”

At the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Wei Zheng persuaded Li Tai: "King Yidu, you have been guarding the tomb for 100 days, now it is spring flowers and autumn fruits, you can't be nostalgic for the good scenery here, let's go back to Chang'an City." ”

"Why did Master Wei say that? Without his father's order, Li Tai must not return to Beijing on his own. ”

"It is said that the emperor has the intention of Zen position, and he will not return at this time."

Li Tai smiled: "That's great, such a big happy event has happened in the family, my father, queen and mother will definitely send someone to pick me up and share it." ”

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Really? I can't see that King Yidu is very favored in front of the prince. ”

"It's not about being favored, my father has always loved his son like his life, no matter how busy he is, he will get together with our brothers every day."

Wei Zheng saw that he was very confident, smiled, and was speechless.

The change of Xuanwumen gave him a new understanding of Li Shimin, a person with outstanding ability and open-mindedness, who had already won the hearts of the people in the process of years of conquest. He had expected that it was impossible for him to have no ideas about the position of the crown prince, but Li Jiancheng was indecisive and missed many opportunities. Today, Li Shimin is in the middle of the day, but the ancient precept that one person does not serve the two masters makes him unable to bow to him.

Although he lived on the north side of Chang'an City, he watched the sky at night and knew that Li Shimin's ascension to the throne was in the near future.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely elect a crown prince.

Regarding the situation of Li Shimin's sons, he has long known everything.

If Li Shimin has an eldest son, it means that it is natural for Li Jiancheng to be the crown prince, isn't he slapping himself in the face? Therefore, he guessed that there was still a possibility for Li Tai to become the crown prince. Perhaps, it is also possible that he will not be in such a hurry to establish a prince.

At this juncture, if Li Tai can be by his side, maybe he will be the next Li Shimin. But the royal affairs have always been complicated, and he can only do his best to persuade Li Tai to return to the city.

Li Tai did not allow it, so he could only accept his fate.

Sure enough, as the eldest grandson Wuji said, the next morning, Li Yuan issued another edict to Zen Li Shimin.

Li Shimin knew that he had no choice, and looked at the edict, drooling while refusing politely.

This made Li Yuan cry and laugh.

After going down to the court, facing his old friend Pei Lian, Li Yuan sighed: "What is he doing? While forcing me to abdicate, he refused to accept it. This is the throne, not the garment. ”

"You still don't understand the prince's thoughts? He is nothing more than a show for everyone to see, and if he wants to gain a reputation for loyalty and filial piety, he will definitely accept the edict tomorrow. ”

Li Yuan sighed: "Old friend, it was only today that I understood that in front of the imperial power, any father-son relationship is fucking bullshit, count with your fingers, more than a dozen grandsons died under his butcher's knife, such a son is really unbearable." ”

"Your Majesty, this is too normal. Royal children, how many died well? Isn't Yang Guang also a brother who won the throne? Having said that, if it weren't for him, there would be no Datang today. No matter who sits on this throne, they are all descendants of the Li family. ”

"Can that be the same? How did he get his crown prince? No one knows, no one knows, let my dad lose face. If you go there one day, how will you explain to the queen? ”

Pei Lin comforted: "The queen naturally won't blame you. Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, can her own children not understand? In my opinion, the prince is eloquent and strategic, knows how to make good use of people, but he is a rare general, he has governed the country well, and you have your credit, so you don't have to worry about this matter, besides, Lian Po is old, at our age, the scenery has also passed, and it is not a blessing to spend his old age in peace? ”

"The question is whether it is better to be able to spend his old age in peace, whether it can still be two words."

The conversation between a pair of old friends who shared life and death soon reached Li Shimin's ears.

After the change of Xuanwu Gate, most of the palace people in Taiji Palace were replaced by his people.

Li Shimin sighed: "Pei Lin is really an understanding person. ”

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji came to the East Palace after retiring from the court.

On the question of whether to refrain from resigning, the three of them had a discussion.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, tomorrow is an auspicious day, which indicates that our Tang Dynasty will last for 10,000 years."

Li Shimin swore solemnly: "Okay, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely govern a different world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, recuperate, develop agriculture, and start an unprecedented dynasty." ”

The two courtiers said in unison: "We believe that with the ability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is completely possible to reach such a height. ”

"However," Li Shimin paused and said, "if I want to achieve something, there is one person who must be used by me." ”

The two asked, "Who?" ”

Li Shimin said vigorously: "The former prince washed the horse Wei Zheng. ”
