In the midst of the staggering, Li Chengqian suddenly stood up.

  He took a step, but his feet flashed suddenly, and he almost fell on his heels!

  Syllable!

  Fortunately, his hand supported the corner of the table, and he stood firm.

  This embarrassed appearance attracted the attention of the ministers.

  The wine glasses were put down, and countless eyes fell on Li Chengqian's body.

  "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you ......"

  The attendant next to him wanted to help, but was gently pushed away by Li Chengqian.

  I saw him limping to the middle of the temple, kneeling down with his left foot first, and then slowly kneeling down on both knees.

  "Father, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, my sons wish my father a long and prosperous life."

  "Erchen copied a "Tao Te Ching", has been recited 10,000 times, I would like to dedicate it to my father, may the Holy Ancestor bless the Tang Dynasty, bless my father."

  Li Chengqian took out a book from his arms, raised his hands up, and then slammed his head on the ground, and said respectfully.

  Li Shimin's expression moved slightly.

  "The prince has a heart."

  He raised his hand and said,

  "Come, bring it."

  The attendants did not dare to slack off, and quickly picked up the hand-copied version of the Tao Te Ching, and quickly sent it to Li Shimin.

  Crash.

  Li Er opened the scriptures and looked at them a few times, and couldn't help but smile.

  "Okay."

  He praised,

  "The handwriting is good, it can be seen that you have participated in Zen and enlightenment in the past two years, and it can be seen that your heart has calmed down now."

  "People say, 'Recite it ten thousand times, there is auspicious light', this "Tao Te Ching" of the Holy Ancestor and the Old Monarch, after you recite it ten thousand times, there will inevitably be something supernatural, and I accepted it."

  As he spoke, Li Shimin put the scriptures into his arms.

  It can be seen that he still likes this gift.

  After all, when you are an emperor, you have already enjoyed all the material things, and you naturally prefer spiritual things.

  For example, Li Chengqian's "Tao Te Ching", the value is reflected in his filial piety, which is what makes Li Er the most gratifying.

  "I want to reward you, what should I appreciate......"

  Li Shimin stroked his beard, looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, and said with a smile,

  "Cheng Qian, what do you want?"

  "If you want to say it, my father will definitely satisfy you."

  Li Chengqian's expression was grim, and he bowed his head.

  "The son-in-law should give a gift to his father, how can he ask for merit and reward?"

  He slammed his head on the ground and said in a deep voice,

  "If the father wants to reward him, let him fulfill a wish of his son!"

  Li Shimin's figure tensed slightly, and his brows frowned unconsciously.

  “…… You said. ”

  "Erchen, please resign as the prince!" Li Chengqian bowed his head, but his voice resounded throughout the hall!

  For a while, the audience was in an uproar!

  The ministers looked at each other, and their expressions were all shocked!

  They didn't expect that the prince would stage such a drama on Chinese New Year's Eve!

  Resign!

  This is a big event that shakes the world!

  Of course, for the few important ministers who knew the inside story well, this was expected, but even so, they still looked at Li Shimin intently, observed the changes in his expression, and waited for his choice.

  In the audience, only Xu Fenglei was still holding chicken feet and gnawing, fully explaining what it means to be desireless and rigid......

  "Prince, do you know what you're talking about?"

  Li Shimin's face was a little unsightly, and he said in a low voice,

  "Didn't you drink too much and get confused?"

  Li Chengqian raised his head and shook his head vigorously.

  "Father, the son-in-law has not been drunk, he is not confused, what the son-in-law said is all sober words!"

  He took out the document he had already written from his bosom, held it up with both hands, and said resolutely,

  "Erchen is now a half-disabled person, and if his condition worsens, he will definitely be disabled! How can a crippled be the future lord of the world, and how can he bear this heavy burden? ”

  "Besides, the sons and daughters have no ability to govern the country, even if they are sound physiques, they will not be able to reach the height of their father's emperor in the future."

  "The Tang Dynasty is a great empire created by my father, and it must not be corrupted in the hands of incompetents! The sons are self-aware, and they really can't take on the heavy responsibility of the prince anymore. ”

  "Therefore, the sons sincerely invite their fathers and emperors, and allow the sons to resign!"

  Hearing his words, Li Shimin's beard trembled, and the ministers' expressions were complicated.

  To be honest, the prince can think like this, he is already very wise, a self-aware emperor definitely exceeds more than ninety percent of emperors in history!

  "Whether you are capable or incompetent is not something you can measure, I think you are very talented."

  Li Shimin took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said,

  "The first two times you were in charge of the country, you did a good job, and even Fang Xuanling praised you for your talent."

  "This shows that you are capable of being a good prince, maybe I was too harsh on you in the past, so I would have such thoughts."

  "Prince, don't be presumptuous, my father won't look away, and your master won't look away, so many years of training are not in vain."

  "For the emperor, the first thing you need is faith! What you need to strengthen, is this. ”

  Xu Fenglei sat in his position, swallowed the palm treasure on the chicken paws, and shaved his teeth at will.

  This...... Is it a variant of 'three resignations and three concessions'?

  Yes, since it is a peaceful handover, decency is naturally wanted.

  "What my father taught me is that my sons should obey my father's words and should not retreat, but this foot disease is really the biggest obstacle."

  Li Chengqian lowered his head, took off his boots, exposed the hideous purple-black scars, and said bitterly,

  "Erchen is not afraid to show his ugliness, because it is a fact."

  "The poisonous sores on the soles of Erchen's feet have reached such a point that not only will they be in severe pain when walking, but they will also suffer from the pain and itching of poisonous sores all the time, like ants devouring!"

  "Sun Simiao, Sun Shen Doctor, said that if it worsens, within three years, the soles of the feet will be amputated."

  "Amputation of the soles of the feet cannot be cured, because the cause comes from the five organs, and after the soles of the feet are cut off, the leg bones will begin to rot, and eventually reach the thighs and even the waist!"

  "When the sores reach the waist, the time of death of the sons will also be ......"

  Li Shimin's heart trembled.

  All the ministers also saw the hideous poisonous sores on the soles of Li Chengqian's feet from different angles, and they were all shocked!

  Before, they heard that the crown prince had a foot disease and was not good at walking, and even His Majesty had just opened his mouth to express his worries.

  But after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's not good to evaluate.

  Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they completely know how serious Li Chengqian's foot disease is!

  "How could such a good prince get such a disease?"

  "yes...... This, this is too miserable, I feel a little sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince, how tormented is this? You can't walk well. ”

  "Even Sun Zhenren is helpless, it seems that there is really no way to reverse this disease, alas, ......"

  “……”

  Voices sounded, and there was regret in their tones.

  Da-da-da-da!

  At this moment, Li Shimin had already gotten up and left the table, quickly descended the steps, and ran to Li Chengqian's side!

  "Cheng Qian! Why are your sores so bad! ”

  He gently touched the soles of Li Chengqian's feet, and said in great distress,

  "Why don't you tell your father! This...... You don't want to bury everything in your heart! ”

  When Li Chengqian lifted the poisonous sores, Li Shimin's heart really throbbed!

  He loves his son so much! Why is he so strict with Li Chengqian?

  It's nothing more than the depth of love and responsibility.

  Now seeing his son tormented by poisonous sores so far, as a father, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his eyes were already misty.

  "The son is afraid that his father will worry."

  Li Chengqian said with relief,

"Besides, this illness can't be cured by the divine doctor, and it's useless to tell my father."

  Erchen gritted his teeth and endured it.

  He paused for a moment, and said very seriously:

  "It's just that my father can no longer pin the country's social affairs on his sons, which is irresponsible to the country and the society."

  "If the son is really free of illness and disease, he must follow his father's teachings and be a good prince, even if he has no talent, he must be diligent and diligent, and strive to be a king of success in the future."

  "But now in this situation, the son is really unable to bear it, and he still asks his father to ...... Permission to resign from the throne! ”

  Li Shimin's eyes were hazy with tears and he couldn't stop shaking his head.

  "No, no......"

  "I'll definitely make you better, Cheng Qian, there must be a way!"

  "You are like this, and your will is not depressed, which is enough to prove that you are the best candidate to inherit Datang! Father will not give up on you easily! ”

  Li Er is an emotional person, and he has always been.

  Although he had been prepared for a long time to let Li Chengqian resign with dignity, at this moment, seeing this situation, he still moved his true feelings, and he didn't want Li Chengqian to go on like this!

  The children are so miserable, and they are deprived of his position as the prince, isn't this even worse?

  He...... You can't do that kind of thing!

  "Father's ......"

  Li Chengqian patted Li Shimin's shoulder and said softly,

  "Your son's heart is fully understood."

  "With your heart, even if your son is a commoner, you don't owe anything to your son, really, but your son owes you the grace of birth and cultivation, and I don't know how to repay it......"

  Li Shimin cried, and Li Chengqian patted him and comforted him.

  This scene made everyone present feel a little sad, and Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji also wiped the corners of their eyes.

  Even Xu Fenglei, who didn't care about anything, couldn't help but sigh lightly at this moment.

  "I did my best, and this is the best ending compared to history."

  Li Chengqian in history rebelled and was deposed as a concubine, and finally died in exile.

  Even Li Tai, who was fighting for the crown, was demoted and exiled, and he also died early.

  The dispute between the princes and the prince broke Li Shimin's liver and intestines.

  And now—

  Li Chengqian voluntarily abdicated, and Li Tai also figured it out and did not take the initiative to participate in the competition for the storage position.

  Everyone is in harmony, and the last two cries are also the crying of mutual distress and pity, not the crying of hatred and sadness.

  That's good.

  "Cheng Qian, your request, my father will not agree."

  Li Shimin wiped his tears and said resolutely,

  "What if you have a foot disease? What about being physically weak? This doesn't mean you can't be the crown prince and the future emperor! ”

  "Father will do his best to prepare everything for you, and when the time comes, you will rule by doing nothing, following the example of Emperor Wen of Han, and you will also be a generation of Ming monarchs!"

  The more he spoke, the more firm he became, and the eldest grandson Wuji became a little anxious when he heard it.

  Your Majesty, can't you change your established plan when you get emotional!

  If Li Chengqian continues to be the crown prince, he will be completely busy in vain! All the treasures are bet on Li Zhi!

  Just then, a voice rang out.

  "Your Majesty, let's fulfill the prince's wish."

  Whew!

  The voice sounded, and countless eyes directly probed it!

  When their eyes were fixed on Xu Fenglei, another wave of surprise rose!

  Taishi Xu Gong, who didn't say a word about everything, actually spoke at this moment!

  And if you don't send it, it's just that, and once you send it, it's a big deal to abolish the prince!

  Sure enough, the nobles are all silent, and people only say the key!

  "Why?"

  Li Shimin turned his head and stared at Xu Fenglei.

  "The minister once discussed with Yuan Tiangang's uncle Yuan Shoucheng, and also carefully calculated that the prince's foot disease cannot be cured by medicinal stones."

  Xu Fenglei said slowly,

  "In the palace, his condition will only get worse and worse, and eventually there is only one way to go through the process of amputation."

  "If you want to be cured of this disease, you must be in the mountains, in the fields, in the rivers and lakes."

  "Only by staying away from the temple can you recover your health."

  "Therefore, in order for the prince to recover his body, and for him to live a few more years, His Majesty should agree to his request."

  This is not all nonsense.

  Putting aside the main cause of 'causal disease', if you want to treat diabetes, high blood pressure or something in the future, you can't eat too richly, you have to have coarse tea and light rice, and you have to live a hard life.

  In the palace, it is very difficult to make a plan, because if you scratch something to eat, it is a delicate delicacy.

  Only in the mountains and fields, when the external conditions are clear, can we really change our habits.

  "What do you mean...... It's true? ”

  Li Shimin said with some suspicion,

  "Didn't you deceive me?"

  Xu Fenglei has never said this to him!

  "It's true."

  Xu Fenglei said calmly.

  "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can try it first."

  "Let's see if the crown prince's health can improve after the abdication, if not, Your Majesty can cure the sins of the ministers."

  Li Shimin's face darkened.

  Try it first?

  How can you try this kind of thing? Abolishing the crown prince is not child's play!

  However, Xu Fenglei's words made his mood recover a little, and he was not as purely emotional as he was just now.

  "Father, what the master said must be true, and the sons and daughters also feel it-"

  Li Chengqian said,

  "Resign as the crown prince and cultivate well, and your health will inevitably improve!"

  "Please allow your father!"

  Bang bang bang!

  He began to launch a general offensive and kowtowed to Li Shimin.

  "This ...... Alas! ”

  Li Shimin had no choice but to help Li Chengqian up, rubbed his forehead, and sighed,

  "Alright, alright! Don't knock again! Your head is going to break! ”

  "It's a big matter, I need to think about it, don't ask for it anymore, I promise you, I will give you an answer."

  "Get up and get back seated."

  "From now on, let's not talk about any government affairs, nor about any family affairs, just spend this Chinese New Year's Eve!"

  "Okay?"

  After that, he personally helped Li Chengqian into his seat, and then turned his head to look at the ministers.

  "Go ahead......"

  With a wave of his hand, he added wine and returned to the lamp to reopen the banquet, but as the emperor, he was no longer in the mood to eat......
