A sunny afternoon.

The emperor in Chang'an City led all the civil and military officials out of Chang'an City to come to the Wei Bridge to welcome the triumphant Li Shimin.

What a glory this is to welcome the emperor.

By the Wei Bridge.

Li Shimin was a little dazzled by this big scene.

Li Yuan and the emperor were riding in a golden carriage. He waved his son to come up and return to Beijing with the emperor.

"I dare not."

Before Yang You could speak, Li Yuan took the lead, "Come up, you saved the court, you are a great hero." Li Yuan even directly appointed Li Shimin as the Grand Marshal without the consent of Emperor Yang You, and ordered Li Shimin to hold the throne and the Shangshu Ling of the East Shaanxi Road.

He directly pulled his son Li Shimin into the emperor's carriage. The father and son spoke as if no one was around the carriage, but Emperor Yang You was like a coachman and servant.

Many ministers saw this scene, but no one said anything.

More than 3,000 people including Yinshi Master, Gu Yi were just executed by the Weishui River. Who would dare to rebel against Li Yuan again?

Li Yuan himself was just the prime minister, but he went past the emperor and directly appointed his son as the third duke. No matter how great Li Shimin's achievements were, he should not be so rude.

When he returned to Chang'an City, many people began to submit a message to Li Yuan to persuade him to enter, asking the King of Tang to ascend the throne.

General's Mansion.

Li Shimin asked Li Yuan not to move the capital.

"Although our army was defeated in Hongnong, it was not at the point of moving the capital. Now I have just defeated Xue Rengao and captured the Western Qin Emperor and his officials alive. The land of Longyou can take advantage of the situation, and the court has no worries. Now Tongguan is still in my hands. I have transferred 80,000 troops back to help, and Guanzhong can be safe without worries."

Li Yuan happily held his son's hand, "Before, the east and west were in danger, he had the idea of ​​moving the capital for his father. Now that Erlang defeated Xue Rengao and there was a large army to help, the matter of moving the capital will no longer be discussed."

He sighed, "It would be better if you could defeat Xue Rengao a month earlier. If you came back a month earlier, I would let you take charge of the Eastern Expedition. You will definitely defeat Luo Cunxiao and seize all Luoyang, Henan. Now, it's a pity."

"Father, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, and gain or loss is nothing at the moment. It doesn't matter if Henan is taken away by Luo Cheng, we will just fight back."

"Okay, my father likes what you say."

In order to commend his son's achievements, Li Yuan later sent several beauties to his son, including the daughter of Yin Shishishi, and one of them was Princess Izumo who Li Yuan wanted to be Li Shimin.

During the Jiangdu Incident, although the princess escaped from the city, she was still intercepted later and finally returned to Chang'an with Xiao Guojun.

Now, Li Yuan rewarded Princess Tuiyun to Li Shimin as his concubine.

"If you dare to get close to me, I will commit suicide on the spot, and blood will splatter you all."

Taiwei's Mansion.

Yang Ji'er held a dagger in her hand and pressed it against her neck. She looked at Li Shimin with disdain.

"You Li family father and son are despicable and disgusting."

Li Shimin's face turned red, and his one-eyed eyes were covered with bloodshot.

"I don't know about this, and I didn't expect that King Tang would be like this. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

But Princess Izumo didn't appreciate it at all and just looked at him disdainfully.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, "You can stay here for the time being, and you don't have any other ideas, otherwise you will not have a good result if you anger my father."

The next morning.

Li Shimin meets Li Yuan.

"How about it? I spent the night in the Yin family or in the Yang family last night?"

Li Shimin frowned.

"Father, Princess Izumo is a man with a husband. What you do is very rude."

Li Yuan sneered a few times, "Don't I know that Princess Izumo's husband is Luo Siye? I am just dissatisfied with the Luo brothers. I want them to know my anger. There is something you don't know yet. The previous rebellion between Yin Shishi and Gu Yi was Luo Cheng's instigation. They did not take responsibility for the connection between all parties, but also sent people to dig up the ancestral tomb of our Li family and burned the bones of our ancestors to ashes."

If it weren't for the critical moment, a family general of Yinshi Master was exposed because of his affair with Yinshi Master's concubine, and in order to escape, he reported to Yinshi Master, and Li Yuan would almost be overthrown by them.

Li Yuan was so angry that he killed the Yin Shishishi family, but kept his wife and daughter behind and occupied him. He even wanted to give Luo Cunxiao's wife to his son because of his anger.

"Even if that's the case, it shouldn't be like this."

"Hmph, you guys are you polite to them. Yuan Ji is better than that. He took possession of another Yang girl I sent yesterday without hesitation."

"Shimin, many people are now trying to enter, asking me to ascend the throne. What do you think about this?" Li Yuan asked.

"The time has come." Li Shimin said.

Earlier, when Yang Guang was there, Luo Cheng supported Yang Qing and became emperor. Later, when Yang Guang died, Wang Shichong supported Yang Tong, and their Li family supported Yang You. But soon Luo Cheng drove Yang Qing and became the emperor of Qin.

Wang Shichong was defeated in Luoyang, and Yang Tong was captured by Luo Cheng and went to the imperial title.

Yang Qing became the Marquis of Rebirth, Yang Tong became the Marquis of Rebirth, and now Yang You is the only one left in the Yang family as the emperor, so there is really no need to keep it anymore.

Li Yuan was very satisfied.

He patted his son's shoulder and said, "Although Jiancheng is the eldest son, it is not as many as you. If you are the eldest son and I am the emperor, I will make you the crown prince."

These words are indeed heartfelt words, but they also have some comfort to their son. After all, this son is the best now, and he will have to rely on him more in the future.

When Li Shimin heard this, his one-eyed eyes shone and couldn't help crying.

Li Yuan couldn't help but be moved when he saw it.

Then he said with a fervent heart, "Erlang, for you, I decided not to appoint the crown prince after ascending the throne. If Dalang cannot take on the important task of the country in the future, I will still make you the crown prince."

When Li Shimin got this sentence, he was both moved and happy, and he became more motivated to fight.

On the tenth day of December, the 13th year of Daye.

It was also the first year of Yining.

Li Yuan was abdicated by Yang You in Tai Chi Palace, and finally gave up Yang Sui's guise.

Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor, and his reign was changed to Wude.

After ascending the throne, Li Yuan conferred his eldest son Jian to become the Grand Tutor, King of Tang, and Shangshu Ling.

He was granted the second son Li Shimin as the Taiwei and Situ, the King of Qin, and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Jiashan East Road Grand Historian Ling.

The third son Yuan Ji was named Sikong, King of Qi, and Shizhong.

He was appointed Pei Ji as the Left Pushe of Shangshu, Liu Wenjing as the Right Pushe of Shangshu, Xiao Yu as the Minister of the Jungshu, and Yang Yichen as the Minister of the Jungshu.

He was granted hundreds of officials and rewarded soldiers.

He worshiped his ancestors in Taimiao and then killed Xue Rengao.

After the throne ceremony, Li Jiancheng returned to his palace with a stiff face.

He never expected that as the eldest son, he was only named King of Tang, not the crown prince.

The emperor replied that he was to be named King of Tang first and then crown prince later, but Li Jiancheng smelled a different breath.
