Li Tai was invited at this time, and the eyes of the ministers were fixed on the imperial study.

Please come over at this time, it is estimated that there is a chance that you will be selected with the prince.

In an instant, the ministers who supported Li Tai were furious and prepared to hold a banquet to celebrate.

And those who supported Li Ke became nervous at this time, worried that Li Ke would lose the election.

It's just that after waiting for Li Tai to come out of the imperial study, that look is unpredictable.

It's happy, it's not happy.

It's sad, it's not sad.

It feels very tangled, and people can't see it clearly.

"Your Highness, what's the situation?"

Li Tai had just left the imperial study when someone immediately asked.

"You'll know if you announce it."

Li Tai didn't answer and left straight away.

His mood right now is very complicated, sad and happy.

The sad thing is that the prince is not himself, but the happy thing is that the father and the queen mother originally chose themselves, as long as they can lose weight, they will change themselves in the future.

However, there is a premise, that is, this matter can only be known by three people, and one more person who knows this matter is invalid.

The other side.

Li Ke anxiously walked back and forth in the palace.

In the past, the empress secretly talked to the emperor, and few emperors summoned Li Tai.

No matter where you look at it, you have nothing to do with that throne.

Could it be that the wisdom and ability are not comparable to the lineage?

"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, don't force this king!"

Li Ke blamed Fang Yuan for the problem at this time.

He thought that if Fang Yuan had supported him earlier, maybe he wouldn't be like this.

In the next two days, Li Ke and his ministers went crazy.

However, the insider Li Tai closed the door tightly and refused to see guests.

Finally, in the early court on the third day, Li Shimin summoned his ministers to the palace.

Among them, Li Ke, Li Tai, Fang Yuan and others were all present, and no one was allowed to ask for leave today.

Because today we will announce the candidate for the crown prince!

No one should be absent!

Among the ministers.

Li Tai's face was expressionless, and Li Ke was sweating on his forehead.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and others looked at Li Shimin with anticipation.

"After two months of consideration, as well as the opinions of everyone present, I already have a candidate for the crown prince in my heart, and I will announce to you today that my Datang will have another prince, and the world can be determined."

Li Shimin said slowly.

Voices resounded above the main hall.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin and waited eagerly.

"After my careful consideration, as well as your opinions, the Tang Dynasty Prince is: Li Zhi!"

Li Shimin said loudly.

In an instant, the ministers were stunned and in disbelief.

They were thinking about Li Tai or Li Ke, and they almost didn't think about Li Zhi.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out to be Li Zhi, who was only six or seven years old?

"How so?!"

Li Ke muttered, took a step back, and almost fell.

He never expected that the person he chose in the end was not Li Tai, but Li Zhi.

This made him full of anger for a while, and he didn't know whether to find it to vent or what to do next.

If it was Li Tai, he still thought about fighting with him, and he also thought about using despicable means such as force.

But Li Zhi.

He's still so young, how can he fight with him?

Fang Yuan was also incredulous, and at the same time felt a sense of powerlessness.

He tried not to participate in the selection of the crown prince, because in history, Li Zhi was ultimately the crown prince.

Now he has crossed over to support Li Ke, and in the end Li Zhi has become the crown prince.

Does it mean that much of history cannot be changed by man?

What is the general trend that cannot be determined by individuals?

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stood up to congratulate.

He was stunned and shocked at first.

But after the astonishment, there was endless ecstasy.

Yes, he supports Li Tai, but he supports the lineage.

Now that the position of the crown prince still falls in the lineage, it is still his own support.

As long as it is his own support, it will be the same whether it is Li Tai or Li Zhi.

Moreover, Li Zhi's appearance is even higher than Li Tai's, and he also has a chance to be good to him.

As for Li Tai, it is estimated that he has opinions about himself in his heart, but he just wants to support himself and remain humble.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gao Shilian also stood up to congratulate.

At the same time, he also saw Li Zhi tiptoe out.

Although Li Zhi is only more than six years old, he still has a lot of temperament when he wears a five-clawed python on his body.

Seeing Li Zhi's arrival, everyone turned pale one after another, and they all saw Li Zhi and determined the position of the crown prince.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers below and was very satisfied with his decision.

None of the ministers objected, and this was the best choice.

It is estimated that if Li Tai or Li Ke is chosen, the court will be in turmoil.

But if you choose Li Zhi, there will be nothing going on, and everyone will be fine.

"I will worship my ancestors in the near future, announce it to the world, and determine the identity of Prince Li Zhi."

Li Shimin said slowly.

The next pilgrimage meeting was nothing to do.

After the crowd dispersed, they left with this shocking news.

Hall of the King of Shu.

Li Ke's face was ugly.

He didn't say anything and didn't do anything.

As soon as he returned to the palace of the king of Shu, he locked himself in the study.

Why Li Zhi?

Why Li Zhi?

Why Li Zhi?

Li Ke's mentality is broken.

Because the crown prince is Li Zhi, he broke the possibility of becoming the crown prince.

Because Li Zhi is too young, he can't compare with him no matter what.

And when he grew up and his status was stable, he didn't know where he was arranged.

Even if Li Zhi is still young, the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian will not let go of themselves and continue to be bigger, and they will definitely take them away.

Therefore, Li Zhi's becoming the prince broke his dream of becoming a prince, making him more sad than Li Tai to become the prince.

It was as if a mountain was pressing on his chest and it was difficult to breathe, making Li Ke almost crazy.

"Why isn't Li Tai sad?!"

Suddenly, Li Ke realized a problem.

That was the performance of Li Tai after the emperor summoned Li Tai two days ago.

He knew that he would not be able to be crowned the crown prince.

But he didn't feel sad when he knew.

On the contrary, I was a little happy.

What does this mean?

It means that Li Tai has other benefits!

And the advantage is that it is not much different from the position of the crown prince!

The position of the crown prince represents the identity of the future emperor, what can be compared to the status of the emperor?

Li Ke couldn't figure it out, but he knew that between Li Tai and himself, he was the one who was abandoned, and the emperor didn't even look at him, there was no comfort at all, and there was no benefit at all.

"Ahhh!!hhh

Li Ke finally couldn't help it and roared angrily.

I don't know how long it has been, but the study was almost destroyed by Li Ke.

In the end, Li Ke walked out of the study with an expression on his face as if nothing had happened.

But the study behind him was full of books, and many of them were torn, and the desks were torn apart.

"Go to Fang Mansion, immediately!"

Li Ke didn't care about being gossiped about, and he wouldn't care about it anymore, so he immediately went to find Fang Yuan.

He was looking for Fang Yuan to do a big thing, a very, very big thing.

However, Li Ke had just left the Vermilion Bird Gate, and his subordinates came to report that Fang Yuan had not returned home yet, and was still in the household department.

So Li Ke turned around directly and went to the household department to find Fang Yuan.

As soon as Li Ke arrived at the household department, the household department looked at Li Ke up and down.

Li Ke lost, it was impossible to be crowned the prince, many people felt that it was a pity, but he became the king and lost the king.

It's just that what is the so-called thing to come to the household department at this time?

"Fang Yuan!"

Li Ke ignored everyone's eyes.

He soon came to Li Ke's office with a gloomy face.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, why are you here?!"

Fang Yuan frowned, very surprised by Li Ke's sudden arrival.

The candidate for the crown prince has been decided, and it is not up to him to influence.

When Li Ke came at this time, did he want to blackmail himself with the Duke of Xiangcheng?

"Fang Yuan, I'll send troops, you send weapons, and we'll launch the Xuanwu Gate Change!"

Li Ke approached Fang Yuan, propped his hands on Fang Yuan's desk, looked down at Fang Yuan, and said in a deep voice.

"Shh!!!h

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are crazy!"

Fang Yuan was almost scared to death, and hurriedly walked out of the office door to look left and right.

Fortunately, Li Ke left a few people to guard outside, not to let people get close to this side.

"Fang Yuan, I'm crazy, you go crazy with me, right?"

"I promise, as long as you give me a weapon, I will crown you as the king side by side, and the country will sit with you!"

Li Ke came to Fang Yuan's side again, grabbed Fang Yuan's shirt, and shouted in a low voice.

He still controlled his tone, and there was a little bit of reason to keep himself from going too crazy.

This is the household department, there are many people here, and the partition wall here has ears, and if it is heard by others, the consequences are very serious.

"Shut up!"

Fang Yuan pushed Li Ke away.

Li Ke staggered back, almost not standing firm.

"You're going to die, don't pull me!"

"Leave my office, leave the household, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

stared at Li Ke coldly.

That's not how this special thing wants to die, right?

If you want to die yourself, what are you doing here?

Here is one of the six, not a place to talk about rebellion.

"Fang Yuan, don't forget that you have a handle in my hands."

Li Ke calmed down a lot, but his eyes were still terrifying.

He was so sad, so powerless, that there was a kind of madness.

"There's a kind of you going to the emperor to denounce me!"

Fang Yuan said mercilessly.

Go straight back to your seat and sit down.

Princess Xiangcheng has been sent away, and things have calmed down.

"Do you think there is no right symptom for sending Princess Xiangcheng away?"

"As soon as I tell the emperor, he will immediately search the world."

"Do you think the bad guys can they find where Princess Xiangcheng is?"

Li Ke laughed violently.

The reason why he didn't track Princess Xiangcheng's carriage was because he didn't want to be too unhappy with Fang Yuan.

But now that the situation has become like this, he won't mind anything else, and whoever stands in my way will die!

"You just try and see if you lose a lot or if I lose a lot!"

Fang Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.

He wasn't sure if Li Shimin would be able to investigate if he could find out if he mobilized the world to find out Princess Xiangcheng.

But if Li Ke really wants to be like this, then let him see how terrible he looks when he is angry.

"Come on, see what I have to lose!"

Li Ke's voice was a lot louder, and his eyes widened.

The crown prince will never have anything to do with him, what else can he lose?

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, life is not just about the position of the crown prince."

"Now that the wood is in the boat, can you only stare at that position?"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He felt that Li Ke was stunned and angry.

When you vent that resentment, you should be able to get better.

At this time, Li Ke was crazy, so Fang Yuan held back his anger and spoke loudly.

"Wood is a boat, wood is a boat"

Li Ke muttered, his expression full of struggle.

Sometimes he laughed, sometimes he was sad and angry, and his face became hideous.

In the end, Li Ke squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands and scratching his hair vigorously, making bursts of beast-like sounds.

Fang Yuan looked at it and sighed in his heart, he was too attached to the position of the crown prince, if he continued like this, Li Ke would be ruined sooner or later.

That position is really harmful, and it is estimated that no one can resist those eight words: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

After a long while, Li Ke got up with red eyes and sat opposite Fang Yuan, seemingly calming down.

"Fang Yuan, as you can see, I'm crazy."

"I don't have anything right now, and I don't mind losing anything, but you're different, you still have so many opportunities, and it's not good to lose them."

"You do me a favor, I will always remember it, and I will never threaten you with the matter of Princess Xiangcheng again."

Li Ke seemed to have calmed down, but his eyes still flashed with madness.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, I won't believe you."

"When I supported you, you said that you would not threaten me with the matter of Princess Xiangcheng again, and you said it now, and you will say it next time."

"I'll tell you, go ahead and say it, I don't want anything, and I don't necessarily expect the emperor to dispose of me because of this."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

At this time, Li Ke is pitiful, if things are simple, it is okay to help.

But Li Ke still threatened himself with the matter of Princess Xiangcheng, so it was impossible to help.

Because if he helps this time, he will use this thing to blackmail himself next time, endlessly.

I'd rather die than be coerced by him again.

Of course, Fang Yuan felt that Li Shimin would still punish him, but if he didn't want anything and had a tough attitude, Li Shimin would have some scruples.

"Three days, I'll only give you three days."

"I want you to create an accident and let Li Zhi die unexpectedly."

"If I don't see Li Zhi die for three days, the news that you made Princess Xiangcheng pregnant will be known to the world."

"Attention, it is known to the whole world, not just the emperor, you can consider it yourself."

Li Ke burst out laughing.

Get up and stride away in what seems to be chic.

Fang Yuan looked at the back of Li Ke leaving, and really wanted to send him a knife in the back.

Murdering the crown prince, he dared to think.

Just three days of what he said. Will it really be exposed?

Fang Yuan would not agree to Li Ke, but he was also worried that Li Ke would really be exposed.

If it is really exposed, what should I do?

Leave?

For a moment, Fang Yuan was in a dilemma.

After Li Ke left, the household officials were all boiling.

Everyone knows that Fang Yuan finally chose to support Li Ke, the opposite of Gao Shilian.

And Li Ke was defeated, and rushed to find Fang Yuan, asking people to guard in Fang Yuan's office, not letting people approach, and knowing to talk about some confidential things at a glance.

People are curious.

At the same time, Gao Shilian also took this opportunity to participate in Fang Yuan.

informed Li Shimin of Li Ke's search for Fang Yuan, and said that the two might have a conspiracy.

"I forgot to appease this son."

After listening to the report, Li Shimin said with a smile.

He thought that Li Ke's strength was not enough to be afraid of, and he forgot to comfort the other party and give him some sweetness or something.

Now, he may be filled with grief and indignation, and he wants to unite Fang Yuan to do something to himself.
