Since Fang Xuanling left, Li Shimin counted in the palace, and the remaining old courtiers became less and less.

The elder brother, eldest grandson Wuji, is considered healthy. Among the generals, there are several generals who are in good health, but talented generals like Li Jing have many hidden injuries on their bodies, and Shen Ke is also seriously ill, and he will die soon. appearance.

In addition, the beloved son Li Tai is like this, God seems to be unable to see it all at once, and piles up all the hardships and difficulties in this year.

His crown prince, the most important treasure in his heart, his heir... was actually abandoned like this by a man.

——Li Shimin thought of abolishing and establishing.

He went back and forth, holding back for a while, and feeling that he should be abolished for a while.

He did tell the truth to Changsun Wuji, and his heart ached.

Is it easy to train a prince? Now count the number of people who are qualified to inherit the throne and can serve all courtiers, only the prince and the king of Jin.

And Li Shimin also knows that if the prince is abolished, the king of Jin will be established.Yes, even as long as the reason is explained, most of the courtiers will accept it slowly, unless the prince can give up Fang Yiai's life.

Or, Li Shimin forced Fang Yiai to commit suicide or give her death.

But in this case, as the emperor, Li Shimin's resourcefulness and long-term strategy are very powerful after being a rational and wise emperor for so many years.

He understands human nature and human heart very well. If that is the case, the crown prince will be too affectionate, and his heart will probably die with it. Maybe it will be counterproductive... Li Shimin thought of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

If the prince's temper changes drastically, no matter how wise and courageous he is, he can still cause a huge empire to collapse and fall apart.

The world is going to be in chaos again.

Li Shimin has always used the previous dynasty as a warning, and compared it with his relative Yang Guang.

He also knew from the bottom of his heart that many people thought he was similar to Yang Guang, smart and courageous, and also related by blood.

And Li Shimin became a wise king, Yang Guang became a faint king, and the Sui Dynasty was not the third, but Yang Guang, the second Sui Dynasty—the real difference between them is that Li Shimin was cautious and never made frivolous or passionate decisions.

Didn't Yang Guang have a long way to go...

He is extremely talented.

Li Shimin even agrees with many of Yang Guang's strategies for governing the country. Those strategies are actually very far-sighted.

For example, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are now conquered... As long as his descendants can maintain this thing for more than a hundred years and assimilate these three kingdoms for more than three generations, the Tang Empire will be overthrown overnight, and so will the next dynasty. I will not give up this piece of fat easily.

The Central Plains area is prosperous and prosperous, even if it is war-torn, it will soon recuperate.Their unique etiquette, Chinese culture, and language are envied by many surrounding barbarians and want to learn...

Li Shimin firmly believed that slowly, the territory of the Tang Empire would become larger than ever, and its national power would also become stronger than ever.

The day when all nations come to celebrate is not far away.

After Li Shimin was tortured by inner indecision for several days, he finally summoned a few credible and reusable courtiers.

The emperor said the words that he wanted to abolish the prince, which made everyone look at each other in blank dismay.

Except for the eldest grandson Wuji who had already prepared.

He took the time to watch from the sidelines. In fact, Changsun Wuji was already close to King Jin. He reminded Li Zhi to be more filial to the emperor recently, and to be smart and courageous.

At first Li Zhi didn't take it seriously, but when Changsun Wuji's uncle pointed out that he would support him in the fight for the crown prince, Li Zhi was a little dumbfounded.

Although he is occasionally jealous or envious of the crown prince's status, and being more valued by his father, Aye actually dotes on himself, or dotes on him mostly.

After all, he is the first son, sometimes the youngest son.

He is Li Shimin's favorite, not an exaggeration.

Li Zhi has always been very clear about his own position. What he has learned in the past ten years is also something to pass the time with nothing to do, such as romance or poetry and poetry.

As long as he can manage the palace well, even speaking, as long as he abides by the law, there will still be Chang Shi and the princess in the Jin Palace.

Li Zhi is now married and taking concubines, and there are two sons and one daughter at home, and he is very happy recently.

He is a father now, but when he meets Aye in the palace, he will still act coquettishly and act like a child.

It's just a matter of habit, and Li Shimin likes such a relaxing way of family communication, so Li Zhi did this.

He is actually a very smart prince.

Of course, when the prince's position was stable, he always paid attention to his words and deeds, at least on the surface, he never coveted the prince's position.

When Changsun Wuji showed the sword of Seizing the Inheritance, Li Zhi even blinked innocently, and then strode back in surprise.

He quickly refused, "No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

"..." Changsun Wuji was helpless, and even sighed, but he still spoke out what was in his heart.

... Changsun Wuji knew that Li Zhi's little ambition would gradually surface and expand for it.

Before the prince was impeached, and the king of Wei suddenly fell down, Li Zhi was not very concerned about the court's mood.

What's more, Changsun Wuji knows well and has eyeliner. Although Li Zhi didn't do it obviously, his Jin Palace still has a lot of contacts who were originally from Wei Wang's faction.

Perhaps it is subconscious, and it is precisely because of it that it can be proved that Jin Wang is not a real lonely person. As long as there is a warm soil, Li Zhi should also be able to have "ambition", without any action and effort .

Changsun Wuji can see this clearly, not to mention he doesn't want the crown prince to take over at all now, especially knowing the relationship between the crown prince and Fang Yiai.

He sleeps all night.

The prince loves him as an uncle, but after all, he is the prince's biological uncle, but he is not taken seriously. For a while, the eldest grandson's family can't fall. The emperor has one generation after another, and there will be a next generation. As long as he pays attention to cultivating talents and connections, the eldest grandson It may not be impossible for the family to prosper for a long time.

Don't you see that the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs have existed for hundreds of years, and how many dynasties they have experienced. These aristocratic families still exist vigorously, and even silently and invisiblely affect the operation of the Tang Empire.

Even the emperor sometimes had to consider their interests and opinions. Changsun Wuji knew that the emperor had always wanted to implement the imperial examination system, but Li Shimin only dared to recruit a very small number of children from poor families. monopoly.

What's more, even if they don't participate, these aristocratic families also have the connections and power to recommend talents, and the emperor has to compromise.

Changsun Wuji was not optimistic about the imperial examinations, which is why the former Sui Dynasty perished.

Li Shimin is cautious, governing a big country is like cooking small fish, he does things according to the steps.

There is no rush for the imperial examination.

In a hurry, the country may be subjugated, or the throne may be lost.

The energy of their family is so great that the emperor can see it clearly while sitting on the high dragon chair.

These truths are all Li Shimin's hands-on, or the prince slowly experienced and understood when he was watching the court affairs and court meetings.

This is why Li Shimin felt that abolishing the prince was a risky decision.

The prince's intelligence and methods, and even his temper have been very good recently, and he no longer opposes him as before, or is soft-hearted and extreme.

It seems that since Fang Yiai joined the East Palace on duty, the prince began to change. Judging from the feedback from the prince Zhan Shi and the prince's teachers, Li Chengqian has become more stable and majestic, and even has subtle means and ruthlessness. Control and manage the Donggong people, etc., and some guys who rely on the old to sell the old.

Li Shimin talked about asking the prince to respect them, but in fact, when the prince was dealing with some matters, impeaching and intrigue with some people with opposite interests, he was actually happy to see the results.

This is also the imperial mind that an emperor should have.

It is naturally excellent that the prince has been trained in the storage position.But Jin Wang Li Zhi, his youngest son, Li Shimin knew that he was smart for convenience, but his methods and temperament were much worse than those of the prince.

Many things cannot be made up by teaching each other for a few years.

If Li Zhi takes the throne, he is afraid that the power of the Tang Dynasty will eventually fall into the hands of others...

Li Shimin still had this intuition vaguely, or he was worried.

At this moment, he wants to solve the trouble even more, and execute Fang Yiai, a traitor, to death!

The courtiers were actually not in favor of abolishing the crown prince, and several courtiers who came to the imperial study discussed in low voices and winked at each other.

Some of the courtiers even resigned, pretending to come out to change clothes, but in fact they were discussing in low voices in the hut.

They were surprised, but they are all people who have read history books thoroughly. Who knows which emperor has no hobbies.

Even His Majesty Li Shimin, who is as wise as the emperor, robbed his brother's wife——

However, no courtier dared to say this matter, and Wei Zheng dared to mention a few words before, which made Li Shimin's face flushed, but at that time there was still the eldest grandson to persuade him, not to mention that he couldn't care about such things.

Indeed, from a moral point of view, Li Shimin had nowhere to accuse Wei Zheng of being wrong. Even when Wei Zheng was alive, he endured it and did not retaliate.

But as soon as the eldest grandson was gone, Wei Zheng was whipped to death not long after.

No one dared to speak of him this time.

His Royal Highness the crown prince is so masculine, to be honest, several courtiers don't think it is a big problem worth deposing the crown prince.

Haven’t any emperors of the Han Dynasty had this habit, especially the famous emperors——Emperor Jing of the Han and Emperor Wu of the Han—all did this.

Then Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty gave his male favorite Deng Tong a gold mine... Although Deng Tong didn't have a good end after the death of Emperor Jing, after all, when he was alive, he enjoyed good fortune and power, and even the queen couldn't help it Jealousy can only be retaliated after the death of the emperor.

They felt that considering the situation of His Royal Highness, and Fang Yiai's powerful capabilities and functions demonstrated in the past year, Fang Yiai was much better than those lowly male favorites.

What's more, there are their gang of courtiers supervising.

Although the effect may not be very great, most of them still support the eldest son's supremacy, and do not want to obey the orders of King Jin who has no political experience. After all, the other party has no experience in handling political affairs, which is not convincing.

These few courtiers are not hardcore bosses, and there are even more neutral ones, but they are more concerned about the country.

What's more, several men laughed at each other, thinking that the emperor was too worried.

After the crown prince inherits the throne, can he still have a long-term love for Fang Yiai? Is there no one in the harem?

It's just that the parents blocked it, and His Royal Highness the Prince came up with a wave of rebellion.

When the relationship is strong, the external resistance is greater. As long as they are not too timid and weak, many people will choose to share the joys and sorrows with their lovers.

They went back to comfort His Majesty the Emperor, and also euphemistically stated this meaning, Li Shimin's thoughts on abolishing the crown prince have eased a lot.

It was the time when the emperor needed someone to comfort him, but Changsun Wuji, who was standing by at the moment, was not happy.

This time Li Shimin did not let Li Zhi enter the palace.

After King Jin got married and had children, it was indeed inconvenient to live in the palace, but Li Shimin still reserved a place for King Jin in Ganlu Hall, and occasionally stayed overnight.

Li Zhi was very preoccupied, he did think a lot in his mind at home, about the thoughts of the prince and the emperor Aye, of course he also examined his own thoughts and ideas.

Changsun Wuji saw that the situation was not good, but he couldn't speak directly.

Sometimes the identity of a foreign relative really makes it difficult for him to offer many suggestions, because he needs to avoid suspicion.

After this day and night, Li Shimin decided to have a sincere talk with the prince the next day.

But Li Chengqian let him down——

He still persists in this sinful relationship.

"...Prince, are you sure he has the same feelings for you?!" Li Shimin sneered, but tried his best to keep his tone a little better.

"—I'm sure." Li Chengqian said.

"...Haha. Naive!" Li Shimin squinted his eyes. He mentioned Gao Yang, which made Li Chengqian feel extremely unpleasant, so he heard the other party continue: "He and your sister have been married for so long, and they don't have a son or a daughter. Now you are in Together, can he not marry a wife and have children?"

Li Shimin grasped the focus of the matter, and directly wanted to puncture the prince's dream and shatter his cognition.

Li Chengqian did close his eyes half-closed, his eyes lowered a little, obviously he was not as sure as before.

He has never talked with Fang Yiai about such matters.

It should be said that Li Chengqian himself avoided asking Fang Yiai this question. He was also afraid of getting an answer he didn't want to hear, but he was also afraid that his "hope" was too domineering and selfish.

"—Why, no more words? Huh?" Li Shimin sneered and disdainful.

He squinted his eyes, pondered for a while, and stared at Li Chengqian: "You are so firm, I can't help it - it's another matter whether to abolish or not, but if Fang Yiai wants his life, Li Chengqian!"

Li Shimin suddenly scolded and said loudly: "If he dares to say something that violates your 'love is stronger than gold'...Prince, don't blame me for being ruthless. Hmph."

After all, Li Shimin got up and drove back to the palace, leaving only His Royal Highness, who was also imprisoned, sitting alone in the palace, with solemn eyebrows and deep eyes.
