Datang Fenghua Road

With a serious expression on his face, he swore in his mouth: "I don't need to care about his blood and blood, and I can even adopt him as my own child. I will seal the best piece of land in Datang to him, and let him enjoy the highest royal family. Prince, receive the highest royal salary."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, but his tone was a little strange, and he asked with a deep meaning, "Is that all?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a while, his eyes were confused, and he didn't understand what the emperor meant.

This was the best answer when he thought about it. Not only did he promise to adopt Han Yue's son, but he would also confer the best royal title. Isn't the father still satisfied?

Li Shimin is really not satisfied.

The emperor suddenly waved his hand and said to Li Chengqian, "I already know your answer, let's sit down and wait for a while. I will listen to your younger brothers and see what they have to say."

Li Chengqian's heart sank suddenly.

Earlier, Li Shimin had said that if he answered well, then the remaining princes would not have to ask any more questions, but now the father and emperor wanted to listen to other people's answers. Does that mean that there is a problem with his own answer?

But Li Shimin didn't care what he was thinking, his eyes suddenly turned to Li Tai, and he smiled: "Qing Que, you have been a scholar and love of learning since you were young, and you are smart and intelligent. Dao. But what I like most as a father is that your mother-in-law is filial, and you know how to please your mother and queen."

Li Tai quickly stood up from the chair and said happily: "I am very happy to be praised by the father and emperor."

Li Shimin smiled leisurely, and said to himself: "If a person can be filial, then no matter how evil it is, he will not be evil. Let me tell you, if I hand over the throne to you, and even let you become emperor in the future, How would you treat your brothers and sisters, how would you treat your nieces and nephews..."

The emperor paused slightly when he said this, stared directly at the son, and solemnly said again: "Especially your elder brother's child, how would you treat him?"

"Erchen will..." Li Tai opened his mouth to speak, and his eyes kept flashing.

Li Shimin suddenly interjected and said in a persuasive manner: "You have to think about it and then say that there is only one chance. Just now Chengqian said that he would adopt your elder brother's child, and he would give that child a piece of the best fiefdom, but the answer is very good for the father. I don't like it, because Datang Jiangshan originally belonged to your eldest brother and his children."

The emperor sighed softly and murmured: "Chengqian is only willing to give a piece of land to a prince, and what he gave is too little. There is also nothing to do with succession. Your eldest brother's child is the fourth-generation grandson of the royal family. Not qualified to adopt him!"

All the princes suddenly realized that they finally knew why Li Shimin had abandoned Li Chengqian, because his answer was too petty, and he was only willing to grant land to Wang Jue, the son of Han Yue, and he wanted to adopt him as his own child.

Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian proudly, and his heart was about to explode with joy.

Li Chengqian's face was ashen, and he lowered his head hatefully.

This guy was full of disappointment and couldn't help but think of what Fomen had said to him.At the beginning, Dongdu Buddha once said to him: "If you want to achieve great things, your close relatives can also be killed. The throne has always been stained with blood, and your father's throne was also stolen by rebellion."

At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that what Dongdu Buddha said was right.

Li Shimin gave Li Chengqian a meaningful look, then suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Tai, the emperor's eyes were faint, and he said tentatively, "Qing Que, have you thought about it?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the son has thought about it!"

Li Tai showed a confident smile on his face, and said proudly: "And the father and the emperor will definitely like this answer, and the mother and queen will also feel satisfied."

"Huh? Is there such an answer?"

"Yes Father!"

Li Tai's face was even more confident, and he said: "Erchen's answer is different from that of brother Chengqian, brother Chengqian is too petty, he is only willing to be a prince, but he forgets that the entire Tang Dynasty should be inherited by the elder brother, and then In the future, it will be inherited by the eldest brother's children. To put it in a bad way, the eldest brother surrendered the throne, but brother Chengqian was only willing to pay back a king. If such a stingy minister can't do such a stingy thing, I will directly return the throne. To my nephew, let him become the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."

The eyes of the princes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't help cheering in their hearts. Li Tai's answer was simply too wonderful, and it would definitely speak to the emperor's heart.Several princes feel that this is the best answer, and will answer when they ask him.

Sure enough, Li Shimin's eyes were shining brightly, and he said with joy: "You are willing to pass the throne to your nephew?"

"My son is willing!"

Li Tai hurriedly held his head high, his face showed solemnity and firmness, and said loudly: "The throne was originally the eldest brother, and Erchen just picked up a leak. When the eldest brother's child grows up, Erchen will naturally let him go back... "

"Very good, very good, Qing Que, you are really good!"

Li Shimin kept nodding, and the hearts of the princes sank as they watched.

At this moment, the eldest grandson, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted and asked softly, "Qing Que, what if your children do not agree? In the future, when you become emperor, your children will definitely want to be the heir, if they are unwilling to let them go. Throne, how do you resolve this matter?"

These words shocked the princes, and everyone couldn't help thinking in their hearts.

"If you have to deal with such a thing yourself, how should you deal with it?"

The answer is very simple, of course, to pass the throne to his own son.

However, Li Tai blurted out and said loudly: "If Erchen's children want to fight for the throne, then Erchen will reprimand and block them. If reprimanding and blocking does not work, then Erchen will kill them to avoid future troubles. In short, the throne will definitely be passed on to the eldest brother. Son, no one can shake it..."

Everyone was startled, and the eldest grandson's face turned pale quietly.

The queen lowered her head subconsciously, for fear of being seen by the children.

Li Shimin stared straight at Li Tai, before slowly opening his mouth for a long time, he asked in disbelief, "Killing a son? Inheriting a nephew?"

"Yes, kill the son, pass on the nephew!"

Li Tai knelt down and swore up to the sky: "Father, don't doubt, as long as you pass on the position of the prince to the son, the son can swear to the sky that if my child and the elder brother's son fight for power in the future, the son will definitely kill him. Abandoning your own child and helping your nephew clear all obstacles..."

Li Shimin looked up at the sky, and his body seemed to sway slightly. The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally uttered two words softly, and said sadly: "Very good!"

"Father..."

Li Tai knelt down on the ground and was a little anxious, and couldn't help but tentatively ask: "Is the answer of the son-in-law okay? Can the crown prince be announced?"

Li Shimin glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Empress Changsun, only to find that Changsun bowed his head and carefully sewed clothes with needles and threads in his hands.

The queen was obviously escaping, but Li Shimin didn't let her escape, and asked directly, "Guanyin maid, what do you mean?"

The eldest grandson flicked her finger, and the embroidery needle suddenly pierced her fingertip. She reluctantly raised her head and smiled, and said faintly: "I feel that your majesty is in the age of the dragon and tiger, and the matter of the prince may be postponed for a while until Chengqian and Qingque meet again. If it is bigger, then it will be selected and negotiated at that time.”

Li Tai was instantly anxious, and Li Chengqian sighed in disappointment. Many princes looked at each other in dismay. Although everyone was eager, no one dared to refute the words of the eldest grandson.

When the queen of a country, the power is actually amazing. Even though the eldest grandson lives in the harem, she is kind and dignified. In fact, she has at least half of the decision-making power over the affairs of the prince.

Li Shimin's tiger eyes kept flickering, he looked at Li Chengqian, then at Li Tai, and then looked down at the princes one by one, and suddenly fell on a seven- or eight-year-old child, smiling: "Children followed my brothers. Come, do you also want to be emperor?"

The little prince was Li Zhi, the youngest son of the eldest grandson. Hearing this, he trembled and said pitifully: "Father, the queen asked me to come, the son originally just wanted to play at the banquet, but the queen sent someone to say Come here first to greet you."

Li Shimin was slightly startled, then turned his head to look at his eldest grandson subconsciously.

The eldest grandson still lowered his head and sewed clothes, as if he could feel her husband's gaze, he sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine has given birth to four sons and two daughters, and Yue'er has already decided that he does not want the throne. Qingques and young slaves are eligible..."

Li Chengqian and Li Tai's hearts were cold at the same time, their eyes swept away secretly at Li Zhi, their eyes were green and blue, and there was a faint murderous intention.

Li Shimin suddenly snorted and sneered: "The maidservant of Guanyin is right, since they are all the blood of the royal family, naturally everyone is qualified, if I tell you, don't patronize the three of them, although they are from the main palace, but the palace still There are other princes who are her concubine, such as Wu Wang Li Ke, such as Chu Wang Li Kuan, and Yue Wang Li Zhen, and Ji Wang Li Shen..."

Chapter 474 The Fourth Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Every time the emperor named a name, one of the princes below must hold their heads high. These princes are now fifteen or sixteen years old. Although their minds are extraordinary, they can't be as forbearing as the old fox, and everyone's face shows eager anticipation. look.

The eldest grandson lowered his brows and said softly: "Your majesty can make up your own mind about the important matters of the family and the country. Although the concubine loves the child, the concubine values ​​the inheritance of your majesty's hard work more. If the child I gave birth to does not become a talent, it can only be let They let Xian..."

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, and suddenly stepped out of the door with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "The time is coming, you will follow me to the banquet, as for who will be the crown prince, I have already made up my mind!"
