The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

Most people actually have a strange... willingness in their hearts. No matter they are secretly willing or unwilling to admit it, it is always awkward to be led by a little woman.

It's only because Sect Leader Xi is truly a genius and a grand master that she is the only one in power in Border Town, so naturally everyone serves under Sect Leader Xi and no one laughs at anyone else.

A few people, such as Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and Gao Hongde, were not so easy to accept.

Can Li Shimin really inherit the ambition of Xi Zongzhu and think about the people of the world wholeheartedly? Or will he end up like Li Yuan and Yang Guang, who once gained power were like a villain?

Yuchi Jingde couldn't hide his words: "Li brat is not such a mean person, but I just feel uncomfortable. What's wrong with the clan leader being a woman? Is it shameful to submit to a woman? Is the clan leader an ordinary person?"

Even though Dou Jiande was asking about the heir, what he really cared about from the bottom of his heart was the woman who would be his successor.

Only then did he tentatively propose an heir.

If the Xi clan leader was a man, he would still be asked about his successor at such a young age. But the situation would be very different, as the person asking the question would rather put someone in the harem to seek future benefits.

Unlike now, temptation is either disgusting or irritating.

Unfortunately, the sect leader has no descendants.

Doesn’t the sect leader know?

She knew that she just couldn't bear to fulfill her ambition of being a king at the expense of the people of the world.

Yuchi Jingde said bitterly: "The clan leader should have given birth to a girl. We can take the prince and completely defeat these forces."

Gao Hongde flicked his cotton sleeves and glared at him fiercely: "Can you please be more careful with your words? Is that what the Sect Master wants? Ah!"

Li Jing wiped his face and said sadly, "Stop arguing. Since it is the wish of the clan leader, we should keep a close eye on Li Shimin. The third generation has great potential. Did the clan leader say when he will go to Chang'an to pick up the prince?"

He was so emotional just now that he didn't pay attention to what the sect leader said next.

Yuchi Jingde said listlessly, "Why should I accept it? The clan leader said that she would issue a public decree to the whole world. As for whether Li Shimin is willing to come, whether he can bring Li Yuanji to Shanyang for trial, and whether he brings all the officials of his Tiance Shangjiang Mansion, that is his choice."

If Li Shimin had not come, or had not brought enough people that Xi Zongzhu wanted, he would not only fail to become the crown prince, but would also lose his life.

It all depends on whether Li Shimin wants to participate in this gamble.

If he doesn't gamble, is it possible that Sect Leader Xi still can't find a prince with a suitable identity?

It’s just not as cost-effective as enthroning Li Shimin.

.

Of course Li Shimin dared to gamble.

Fang Xuanling tried his best to dissuade him, "Master Xi is so young, one year younger than the prince, why should he give up his throne to the prince? The north is openly trying to sow discord between the prince and the emperor, and to sow discord between the Li Tang royal family."

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Du Keming's broken finger, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "My father and I no longer need outsiders to instigate us."

Zhang Sun Wuji had met Sect Leader Xi before, and the thing that impressed him most was her firmness: "The decree has been issued, can Sect Leader Xi go back on her word?"

Fang Xuanling still disagreed: "If Sect Master Xi issues an imperial decree publicly, there will be many dangers along the way. If she really wants the prince's disciple to be the heir, why not write a letter secretly, take the prince away and then issue an imperial decree?"

After saying this, Fang Xuanling also realized that what he said was not very genuine.

The emperor is the prince's biological father, and when it comes to imperial power, it's a life-and-death fight.

The Northern Kingdom was a greater force than the Li Tang Dynasty.

The fact that Sect Leader Xi's decree could be announced to the world proves that it had at least been openly discussed internally, even if it was just a gamble on a possibility... Not to mention that the prince was tempted, who in the entire Tiance General's Mansion would not be tempted?

Being an official of a prince who is not favored by the emperor in the Li Tang Dynasty, or being the prince of the most powerful force in the Central Plains, this is not a choice at all.

Du Keming pondered, "The key issue is whether the Grand Master has an heir. If there is a possibility of an heir, Your Majesty, this trip will be a sure death; if the Grand Master has no heir, we will enter the northern border and have a bright future from now on."

"I believe in Master!" Li Shimin stood up resolutely. "Master has always been upright. If I don't have the ability to stand in front of her, I am not worthy of being her successor, and I will not be recognized by the Border City Army."

The Master is completely different from the Father.

The master may have many things he wants to do and want to change many old customs and habits, but the master himself does not pursue power.

You can't see any of her obsession with power in Master.

.

Many times, we should not look at what people say, but what they do.

Although Li Shimin said that he unconditionally believed in Master Xi, he actually placed his subordinate Xu Shiji in Taiyuan to arrest Li Yuanji; he also sent Duan Zhixuan and Xue Wanjun to garrison Luoyang.

After the Xi clan leader punished Li Yuanji and issued an imperial edict, the internal forces of the Li Tang Dynasty were already clear and no one could stop Li Shimin from mobilizing troops.

All the entrepreneurial partners of the Li Tang Dynasty, except Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng themselves, hoped that the decree of Lord Xi was true.

Even if it is fake, what loss will it have for them?

However, something happened to the prince who was not valued by the emperor.

If it is true, then they supported Li Tang's uprising. Would it be bad for them if Li Shimin unified the world?

Just give it a try; they are not the ones risking their lives anyway.

For this goal, even if Li Shimin mobilized troops and affected their main arteries, these people held back.

.

The Demon Sect finally launched the assassination attempt on Li Shimin.

Unfortunately, it was not successful.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan led the silent Modao Camp and waited quietly at the Wu River, and finally waited for Li Shimin and his entourage.

Kou Zhong rolled his eyes at the sky: "Master really guessed right. You are really thick-skinned. All you need to do is beat the gongs and drums to announce to the world that you are the heir appointed by Xi Zongzhu."

Xu Ziling extended his elbow to stop Kou Zhongxin from speaking.

He bowed to Li Shimin and the officials behind him and said, "I am here to greet you all by order of the patriarch."

Li Shimin laughed out loud, "There are many people who don't want me to arrive safely anyway, so let's just go openly! Let's see who dares to openly provoke my master!"

The more you hide, the more dangerous it is.

The imperial edict was issued by the master. If we don't use it as a banner now, when will we do it?
