Chapter 732: The Heir to the Throne
"Mother..."
"Sister Mei Xian..."
When Li Jiancheng and the intact Shan Meixian appeared in front of the girls, the girls immediately gathered around in surprise. Everyone had a look of concern on their faces, and Shan Meixian felt warm in her heart. What?
She couldn't say anything, so she could only hold Shan Wanjing in a cover-up manner to prevent the other girls from seeing the tears in her eyes.
However, none of the girls present had bright eyes. How could Shan Meixian's situation escape their vicious eyes? However, they did not say anything to avoid Shan Meixian's embarrassment.
Afterwards, Li Jiancheng told the girls about his plan and asked them to make arrangements and be ready to disappear from the crowd at any time. In the next few days, Li Jiancheng kept the Prince's Mansion tightly closed. The news outside was that
Li Jiancheng returned with the army. If he appeared in front of others, wouldn't the plan be exposed?[
Li Yuan led the army for five days and finally returned to Chang'an. The people of Chang'an lined the streets to welcome him, which needs more words. Later, Li Yuan announced that he would reward the three armies in two days. At the same time, all officials with an official rank of six or above must attend the morning court.
, important news will be announced at that time. Then, news came out from the palace. When Li Yuan and Dou Xian were chatting, they inadvertently said that the important news to be announced was about the throne.
When this news came out, it immediately caused huge waves in Chang'an City. Moreover, this matter was originally known to a few people, but later became known to all civil and military officials. In the end, even the people in Chang'an City were discussing it.
As the eldest son, Li Jiancheng was originally the prince. He had also made great contributions to foreign wars and the construction of the Tang Empire for a long time. This candidate for the throne was naturally chosen. Besides Li Jiancheng, who else was suitable for this throne? Of course.
, there are also many voices of opposition,
Those who opposed believed that Li Jiancheng was cruel. If he became like Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty after he ascended the throne, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people of the world? So those who supported Li Shimin jumped out and publicized that Li Shimin was benevolent and righteous. If
Ascension to the throne will definitely be a blessing to the people of the world.
As a result, there was a heated discussion between the two parties about whether Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin ascended the throne. Regarding the private discussion, Li Yuan in the palace did not stop it and seemed to have a tacit attitude.
…
Late at night, in the study room of Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Shimin was holding a book on The Art of War and watching it quietly.
"Husband, Mr. Zhangsun, Mr. Fang and Mr. Du are visiting and are waiting in the hall now."
The door of the study room was quietly opened. Li Shimin was so engrossed in reading that he didn't notice the visitor. He didn't react until the visitor spoke.
"Anu, why are you here?"
Li Shimin looked at Chang Sun Ku in front of him with a soft smile on his face. Anu was Chang Sun Ku's nickname.
"Since it's an auxiliary machine, Qiao and Keming are here. Just ask them to come directly to the study to find me. Why do you have to go there yourself?"
"My husband has not fallen asleep. Anu cannot sleep peacefully either."
Changsun Gu's beautiful face always had a calm and tranquil expression, which made people feel that as long as they stood next to her, their mind would be so peaceful.
"Okay, it's late at night. The auxiliary engines and the others must have something important to discuss when they come here at this time. I don't know when. Anu, just go to bed first and don't tire yourself."
Li Shimin gently stroked Changsun Ku's cheek and spoke softly.
"Anu will obey your husband's words in everything, but husband, you must also pay attention to your body."
Changsun Gu meekly obeyed Li Shimin's words, said a word of concern in a soft voice, and left as quietly as when he came, without making the slightest sound when he closed the door.
Li Shimin was also reading a book intently, looking at the direction in which Changsun Gu was leaving, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Wei minister Chang Sun Ji (Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui) pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin!"[
"Everyone around you, please stop being so reserved." Li Shimin said casually with a smile, then pointed to the chairs in the study and asked the three of them to sit down. "You guys find a place to sit down. It's so late.
What's the matter with you?"
Li Shimin turned around and just sat down, but he found that Zhang Sunji and the others did not find a seat to sit down, but were still standing in front of the desk with serious faces, as if they had something important to say.
"What are you..."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused.
Changsun Ji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui seemed to have premeditated it. Changsun Ji, as the representative of the three, stepped forward and said respectfully: "I would like to report to His Highness the King of Qin that the matters that the ministers and other ministers who have come to discuss this time may be of great concern to the King of Qin."
Where Your Highness is angry, I hope His Highness the King of Qin can forgive me."
"Assistant machine, although Shimin is the King of Qin, he and you and Qiao Keming are like brothers and sisters. No matter what you say, unless you commit rebellion against the country, Shimin will never be angry because of your words."
"In this case, I would like to thank His Highness the King of Qin in advance!"
Changsun Ji clasped his fists, bowed and saluted, then straightened his face, looked serious, and said sonorously: "Nowadays, people say that His Highness the Crown Prince is cruel. If His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he may repeat the path of the Sui Dynasty.
…”
"Auxiliary machine, be careful what you say!"
Li Shimin's expression changed, and he immediately raised his voice and shouted to stop.
"Your Highness the King of Qin, I know that these words are treasonous and unethical. However, these words are hidden in my heart and I won't express them happily. Therefore, I hope His Highness the King of Qin will forgive me. I will definitely speak out what is in my heart today." Changsun Ji paused, and then
His face remained firm, and he said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been fierce in killing, and the ministers in the DPRK
Everyone knows that now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been seriously injured due to the battle with the Germans, and it is extremely difficult to even speak. His Highness the King of Qin has always been kind and generous, and there are many people who hope that His Highness the King of Qin will ascend the throne. The minister thinks that for the sake of the great
For the foundation of Tang Jiangshan, His Highness the King of Qin should comply with the people’s wishes and ascend the great treasure!"
"Auxiliary machine, you are trying to make Shimin usurp the throne!"
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he drank with suppressed anger.
"Although the eldest brother acted ruthlessly, he killed the people who deserved to be killed and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Moreover, the eldest brother was injured because he was fighting with the enemy. How can the people of the world add insult to injury and usurp the throne of the eldest brother? As long as the eldest brother is alive,
I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can change me."
"Your Highness, King Qin, think twice!"
Changsun Ji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knelt down on the ground with a plop and persisted in admonishing.
"To put it bluntly, with His Highness the Crown Prince's current body, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to live a good life for a few more years. If His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and dies suddenly, His Highness the Prince's son is only a few years old. If someone among the Crown Prince's concubines attempts to get involved in power, I'm afraid...
The Tang Dynasty is in danger!"
"Auxiliary engine, that's enough!"
Li Shimin drank suddenly, turned his back to the three of them, and said a little tiredly: "Shimin is a little tired. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. You should go back and rest early!"
"His Royal Highness King Qin..."
"Do you want me to say it a second time?"
Li Shimin's voice was still calm, but Chang Sunji and the other three knew that Li Shimin could no longer suppress his anger. At that moment, the three of them looked at each other and had no choice but to shake their heads, and bowed to Li Shimin's back, dragging their loneliness.
