Datang Fenghua Road

"Say what comes to mind, son of the royal family, don't you even have the courage to speak?"

Li Shimin suddenly reprimanded, hating iron but not steel: "A good man should have ambitions. You are too timid to say what you desire most. How can I help you, and how can your mother help you?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the princes were shocked again, Li Chengqian's face showed ecstasy, but Li Tai's face was gloomy and dripping water.

"Father..." Li Chengqian's words trembled, his voice almost trembling, and said, "My son hopes to choose me."

"What's the reason?" Li Shimin's tone returned to his previous tone. He looked at the son calmly, and said indifferently: "The prince of a country is no trivial matter. You said that I should choose you, is there any reason to persuade me?"

"My son, my son..." Li Chengqian stammered, and it took a long time before he had a flash of inspiration, and said loudly: "My son has been the heir for ten years. I have been trained by the royal family since I was a child, and my father also taught me the way of the emperor!"

He glanced at Li Shimin and said anxiously: "My son also served as the prince of the supervising country. When you were on a tour outside the customs, my son was sitting in the Chang'an imperial capital. Although it is not said that the governance of the Tang Dynasty will be smooth, but the size of the country is small and large. Transactions never go wrong."

People are anxious, and what Li Chengqian said really makes sense.Now that the Tang Dynasty has established a stable country, the second-generation emperor that needs it does not seek merit, as long as he can keep his ancestral family business. Li Chengqian deliberately said that he was credited with his past, and his credit was precisely not doing anything.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and smiled: "Chengqian's words make sense..."

The emperor pretended to ponder, turned his head and said to his eldest grandson: "Guanyin maid, do you have any opinion? Chengqian is also your child, and you are also qualified to decide the matter of the prince."

Li Chengqian suddenly looked at his eldest grandson pitifully, and said desolately: "Mother, the child was ignorant before, but in the future, he will be filial, filial, and submissive, and he will never dare to let go of his own body again..."

The eldest grandson sighed softly, and said softly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, the concubine is only a woman, and as long as my child can live in peace in this life, the concubine does not ask for anything else."

Li Shimin nodded again, pretending to ponder: "Since the Guanyin maid has no opinion, and what Chengqian said is very reasonable, then I will choose..."

The emperor hadn't finished speaking the word "choice", Li Tai couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly said: "Father, my son has something to say!"

His interruption was exactly what Li Shimin wanted, and the emperor suddenly laughed and said with a deep meaning: "I forgot that Qingque is also a dragon and a phoenix among people. I should listen to your opinion."

Li Chengqian's eyes were about to burst with fire, and he looked at Li Tai angrily. If it wasn't in front of the emperor and the eldest grandson, he really wanted to kill this fat boy with a sword.

Just a little bit, the father emperor was about to announce it just now, but he was interrupted by this kid, and I don't know what turmoil is going to happen.

The emperor didn't care how angry Li Chengqian was, he just looked at Li Tai and asked with a smile: "Qing Que, tell me your opinion, who should the prince of this country choose? Could it be that you also have a reason to persuade me so that I can choose instead? you?"

Li Tai shouted anxiously just now, and he has already recovered his emotions at this moment, with a childish smile on his round chubby face, sweetly said: "Father, it is your right and your mother's right to choose whoever you choose. It should not be interrupted, but since ancient times, the sages have said that they do not avoid relatives when they are internal, and do not avoid hatred when they are external. The child feels that brother Chengqian is not capable of acting as the prince. This Tang Dynasty was built by the father, your army and horses, and cannot be handed over to the prodigal son. Woe to..."

Li Chengqian was furious. Seeing that the other party kept pouring dirty water on him, he couldn't bear it any longer. He shouted, "Qing Que, shut up!"

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "Chengqian, don't be scorched, and let Qingque continue to say, whether it is good or bad, I and your mother have a steel scale in our hearts, and today should have given everyone a chance."

Li Chengqian gave Li Tai a hateful look, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, for fear that the emperor and the eldest grandson would see the hatred on his face.

In fact, the hatred on his face was so obvious. How could Li Shimin and the eldest grandson not be seen? The emperor and the queen looked at each other, casting a shadow on their hearts.

At this moment, Li Taihe smiled again, this kid was a bit daring, suddenly approached the eldest grandson, and because he was still young, he was lying on the eldest grandson's lap, saying: "Empress mother, in fact, As far as sons and ministers are concerned, this prince must have one person to bear. Since ancient times, the leaves on the tree have high and low levels. The eldest brother Li Yue is the eldest son of the royal family. He is kind, kind and filial. Wizard, if he can be the prince, the child will have no complaints..."

This kid gave all the good words to Han Yue, but in the end he did not forget to give Li Chengqian a hand, hehe said: "If brother Chengqian is the prince, then the child is very dissatisfied. Confucian Kong Yingda once said that he The temperament is unrestrained, and the image of the non-human king is seen."

The eldest grandson had never heard of the latter words, but was delighted at Li Tai's flattery of Han Yue, and couldn't help saying, "Qing Que, you actually recommended your elder brother?"

Li Taixiao's face quickly showed a serious look, and he said loudly: "Of course, in terms of the ability to take over the Tang Dynasty, who in this world can be compared to the big brother? The boy knows that some people don't want to recognize this big brother, they don't. Recognizing a child is the blood of a mother’s compatriots, and he doesn’t even care about his family for the sake of the throne. This kind of person is not ashamed…”

"Good boy, good boy!" The eldest grandson nodded again and again, couldn't help but reached out and stroked Li Tai's forehead, and praised: "You surprised the mother very much, my little green bird has finally grown up."

Li Tai smiled sweetly, lying on his eldest grandson's knees and pretending to be docile, he raised his head with a smile on his face, but his eyes turned sharply when he lay down, and suddenly raised his small face to look at Li Shimin, hehe said: "Father, why don't you Choose your eldest brother, it happens that there is a big banquet today, and you can announce it at the banquet later."

Li Shimin gave him a deep look, and suddenly stood up from the chair.

The emperor got up, but none of the princes dared to sit down. Li Chengqian and the rest of the princes stood up in a hurry. Li Tai lay on his eldest grandson's knee and thought for a while, and Fatty Dundun's body stood up without a trace.

But Li Shimin didn't care about the princes' reactions, he walked to the door of the bedroom with his hands behind his back, looked at the red sun in the eastern sky, and sighed softly for a long time: "I also want to choose him..."

The hearts of the princes were all twitching, and Li Tai's face also changed quietly.

Li Shimin suddenly sighed again and murmured: "Unfortunately, although the country is beautiful, it is difficult to retain talents. Your eldest brother doesn't want to be rich and rich. He likes to struggle and fight on his own. I have promised him..."

The princes let out a sigh of relief.

Li Tai's heart was beating wildly. Just now, he was really afraid that the emperor would say that I listened to your suggestion and chose your elder brother.

Li Shimin stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his eyes wandering, no one knew what he was thinking, the Empress eldest grandson sighed in the back, and couldn't stop taking out a half-finished child's clothes from somewhere, and even started sewing with needles and threads, regardless of the emperor and the emperor. The matter of the princes.

After a long time, Li Shimin turned around suddenly. The emperor glanced at all the princes in the palace one by one, and then said: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for 14 years, and now the foundation is solid. In a moment of difficulty, the royal family of the Li family will surely take off, and the Tang dynasty will surely be inherited. Our dynasty has countless founding generals, each of whom has a great reputation, and has a population of more than [-] million, tens of millions of acres of land, and more than two million soldiers people……"

The emperor paused slightly when he said this, and said with a deep meaning: "With such a solid foundation, no matter who you choose, you can feel at ease as a Taiping Emperor, with the help of Chinese officials and military generals, and the continuous industrial support of your eldest brother. The second generation of monarchs only need to keep the family business well, they don't need to be heroic, they don't need to be wise and martial... That is to say, any one of you can be the heir."

The eyes of the princes lit up for a while, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were delighted, but the princes who felt unqualified were also heartbroken, just because the emperor's words were too obvious and too straightforward. A fool can handle it.

"Father..."

"Father..."

"Father..."

All the princes opened their mouths one after another, all of them holding their heads high, showing their most energetic side.

Li Shimin, who is a character, naturally knows what these sons think in their hearts, the emperor smiled lightly, and suddenly said: "I have a question for you today, as long as any of you can answer me to my satisfaction, the prince will give it to him later!"

Li Chengqian was the most anxious, and quickly jumped out and said, "Father, what do you want to ask?"

Li Shimin slowly turned around, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said with a leisurely face: "I want to ask, this position of prince is what your elder brother wants to give up, if you become prince and become emperor in the future, How will you treat him, how will you treat his son?"

The emperor turned around suddenly, stared at Li Chengqian, and said solemnly: "Chengqian, I will give you a chance, and I will let you answer this question first."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment!

Li Shimin had a long expression on his face and said with a deep meaning: "If you answer well, others don't need to answer. After all, you are the second child of the royal family. Qingque has a sentence that is right. …”

Chapter 473 What if I killed my son?

This means that Li Shimin gave Li Chengqian the best chance. The emperor asked him to answer first, and he also said that as long as the answer was good, the princes later did not need to answer.

This clearly tells everyone directly that the emperor's heart is Li Chengqian the most.

"Father, father..." Li Chengqian became trembling even as he spoke, and felt a heart in his chest beating wildly, scorching hot, like a fire.

"Tell me, how do you treat your elder brother's child?"

With a gentle face, Li Shimin said leisurely: "He is destined not to touch the land of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, but his children should not be living overseas, they are the nobles of Tianhuang..."

The emperor suddenly gave Li Chengqian a meaningful look, and said indifferently: "Your elder brother has lived a lonely life, so he doesn't care about wandering around, but his child is not good. I don't want the little baby to suffer, and your mother is even more reluctant."

Li Shimin's words made all the princes understand. It turned out that what he and Empress Changsun were most worried about was Han Yue's son.

The couple wanted to bring the child back to their side, but were also afraid that the child would be bullied by the new emperor in the future, so they set up today's question and test. Whoever treats the child well will inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father..." Li Chengqian blurted out, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as my son can become the crown prince, and I will become emperor in the future, I will definitely treat Han Yue kindly... No, he is my eldest brother's child."
