Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 45

Li Shimin took Li Fu's heartfelt sentiments seriously, he really thought so, abolishing the elders and setting up the young is the way to create chaos, this is an old saying, so Li Shimin really didn't make up his mind to abolish Li Chengqian at this moment.

For this disabled son, Li Shimin has always felt guilty and wanted to give him a chance.

The reason why he convened the ministers for discussion now was mainly to give Li Chengqian a warning and to see the opinions of the princes in the court. He did not want Li Chengqian to continue to be the prince, and the people below would not obey him.

【Oh, it's a pity, Li Chengqian ruined a good hand of cards by himself, so it's no wonder that he later took the risk. 】

[It should have been in the past two years that Li Chengqian got mad and thought of rebelling because he competed with Li Tai for the position of crown prince. 】

[It seems that there was a rebellion, Li Er had no choice but to abolish Li Chengqian, so whether I abolish Li Chengqian this time, I don't have any benefits, and there are no benefits, why should I do it? 】

【But if you still want to rebel in the future, then I have nothing to do, Li Chengqian, I hope you can figure it out, you are already a prince, so don't act recklessly...】

Li Fu's heartfelt words, hearing Li Shimin's mind, instantly made Li Shimin feel bad.

What?It's not enough for Li Chengqian to make a foundation, but he still thinks of rebelling against Lao Tzu. He really rebelled against him. What's the use of keeping such a rebellious son?
After thinking up to this point, Li Shimin didn't bother to listen to Changsun Wuji's long speech, and went straight to the point: "Okay, I have made up my mind, the prince Li Chengqian, who is rebellious and has lived up to my expectations of him, will abolish the crown prince from now on." bit!"

ah?Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin dry-mouthed, but he didn't expect that he would get such a result after wasting his tongue for a long time.

Wang Gui was so filled with ecstasy that he almost started dancing wildly in the hall.

But Fang Xuanling and the others changed their countenance one after another, and stepped forward to warn them, "Your Majesty, the position of the crown prince has involved the original, think twice!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the prince's mistakes are not heinous. As long as you teach him carefully and let him correct his mistakes, it is not impossible!"

Ministers like Fang Xuanling have experienced so many ups and downs, and now they most hope that the court can maintain a smooth transition. As for who will be the emperor, they don't care.

Li Chengqian had been the crown prince for so many years, and almost everyone considered him to be the future emperor. Naturally, no one wanted to change the crown prince again now.

But Li Shimin has already made a decision, so he doesn't want to change it, "This matter is settled like this, you don't need to say more."

If Li Chengqian just spoiled an actor, Li Shimin would still let him go if he beat him up.

But the problem is that Li Shimin now knows that Li Chengqian is not only a matter of mobilization, but also will rebel in the future. This makes Li Shimin intolerable. His son rebelled against him. Is this reminding him of what he did back then?

When the Xuanwumen changed, Li Shimin killed the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with his own hands, and kicked his father from the throne. That scene is still vivid in my mind.

So when Li Shimin thought that Li Chengqian was imitating the example and driving himself off the throne, his mentality collapsed instantly.

"Your Majesty, you must think twice, the prince's crime is not so serious..." Changsun Wuji kowtowed, and he also did his best to help Li Chengqian.

Changsun Wuji and many of the officials present actually thought that there was still room for maneuver in the matter of the crown prince in today's court discussion.

But I didn't expect Li Shimin's attitude to be so firm, he didn't give Li Chengqian any chance at all, and beat him to death directly, which caught Changsun Wuji a little by surprise.

"Okay, I'm tired, let's stop here today!" Li Shimin waved his hand, interrupted Changsun Wuji, and then looked at Fang Xuanling.

"The prime minister drafted an order to abolish the crown prince today and relegate him to be the king of Guanzhong County. Li Junxian, you immediately lead the troops to the East Palace and drive the crown prince out of the East Palace. The East Palace has nothing to do with others..."

At the end of Li Shimin's speech, he made a frightening gesture with his hands. Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji completely gave up trying to persuade him any more.

The same is true for Fang Xuanling. The emperor has already had murderous intentions. It would be good if he could save the prince's life. Now that he can retain the title of Guanzhong County Prince, it is also a favor outside the law. If he tries to persuade him again, he may be demoted to a commoner. Then But that's bad!
Afterwards, Li Shimin got up and left. All the ministers saw that the matter had come to this point, and the emperor had also left, so they could only leave the imperial study room one after another.

Li Fu felt like a dream at this moment, and his heart was full of shock.

[I'll go, is Li Er so rigid?It's not that there is something wrong with history, how can it be abolished? 】

[But let’s not say, Li Er has saved himself a lot of trouble by being so tidy, and it can be regarded as preventing problems before they happen. 】

[It's a pity for Li Chengqian, but it's still the same sentence, if you don't do it, you won't die, why would he do that? 】

[After all this, Li Tai has won by lying down. Next, Li Er, the most beloved son, is probably going to be crowned prince soon. By then, Li Chengqian will know, tsk tsk...]

When Li Shimin left the imperial study, he heard Li Fu's complaints, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's true that I dote on Li Tai, but Li Fu has a few catties, and I don't know that he might not be able to afford the position of crown prince, but you, King Zhao, seem to be quite suitable for the position of crown prince.

Li Shimin thought secretly, turned and left the imperial study room...

Outside the imperial study room, the imperial concubine was still kneeling and waiting. When she saw all the officials coming out, but Li Shimin was the only one, she was shocked and got up quickly, but because she knelt for a long time, she almost fell forward.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling met, and hurried forward to help the imperial concubine up, "Taufei, why are you here!"

The imperial concubine didn't care about her embarrassment, she grabbed Changsun Wuji's official robe and asked anxiously: "Auxiliary machine, what does your majesty say, how will he deal with the prince?"

Changsun Wuji closed his eyes in pain, "Your Majesty has made up his mind and insists on deposing the crown prince. There is nothing we can do."

"What, abolished?" The imperial concubine was shocked, "Your Majesty is too arbitrary, don't you just watch the crown prince being abolished without persuading him?"

Fang Xuanling clasped his hands in defense and said: "Concubine, you know your majesty's temper. This time, the crown prince has really chilled your majesty. His Highness King Zhao interceded on behalf of the prince, but it will not help the matter."

The empress dowager stared wide-eyed in shock, subconsciously glanced at Li Fu, but saw Wang Gui who was leaving in a hurry with a happy face.

"Then Wang Gui is..." The imperial concubine gritted her teeth and asked Changsun Wuji.

"The concubine why bother to ask more questions." Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed, "It must be His Royal Highness King Wei, who has long wanted to take the crown prince."

When the imperial concubine heard the words, she suddenly felt as if she had been killed by lightning, and the two lines of tears could no longer be restrained, and slowly fell.
