The matter is in the inner palace, but it depends on the court. Empress Changsun’s critical illness has a great impact on the court, not to mention that Empress Changsun also said that she wanted to make the King of Chu the legitimate son.

In the Lizheng Hall, the impact on the court was comparable to that of ten years in just half a day. Before I knew it, the wind in the court changed.

Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong were one of Empress Changsun’s brothers and the other was the son-in-law of Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun was critically ill. They should have entered the palace to visit and then left the palace together.

On the corridor where he left the palace, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong walked side by side. Changsun Wuji walked beside Changsun Chong, looking at his beloved son beside him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Changsun Chong returned to Beijing for four months. In just four months, Changsun Wuji realized that Changsun Chong had changed too much compared to the past. He acted decisively, calmly and thoughtful. He was no longer the young man who was purely filial but cowardly and gentle.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh that Changsun Chong had not taught him for so many years, and Li Ke and Mobei's battlefield taught him in just three years, and the teaching was very good, and Changsun Chong also learned very well.

"Chong'er, I don't know the situation of the Chu Palace. How long is the pregnancy of the Chu Prince?" Changsun Wuji asked Changsun Chong.

Changsun Wuji and Li Ke were disagreeing, but Changsun Chong was very close to Li Ke. The father and son had a quarrel several times because of this. Therefore, when Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong were together, they often deliberately avoid topics related to Li Ke. However, today Changsun Wuji took the initiative to mention it, and Changsun Chong felt a little surprised.

Changsun Chong replied truthfully: "I first entered the Ministry of Rites and am very busy. I haven't visited the royal palace in recent days. However, I just met Qin Huaidao from General Qin's family the day before yesterday. I heard what he meant, the princess had a son, probably for the past few days."

Changsun Wuji said: "It is a big deal for the princess of Chu to have a son. You were once a subordinate of the King of Chu. Although you were busy with official duties, you still need to walk around more often. Don't let the King of Chu feel strange and be accustomed to it."

Changsun Chong said, "This is not the case. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. This is how the Grand Governor and I are. The Grand Governor knows that Xiaoer is busy with ministry affairs recently, so how can he be surprised?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Although that being said, it is a big deal to add the eldest son of the Chu Palace, and you should not neglect it. You should spend some time in the near future and go there."

When Changsun Chong heard this, he asked in confusion: "My father has never been too close to the Grand Commander, why do he emphasize this statement today?"

Changsun Wuji stopped slowly, looked at the sky that was gradually dim, sighed and said to Changsun Chong: "The queen is critically ill, and this day is probably going to change. Think about it carefully today, some things are not necessarily right for her father."

Changsun Chong continued, "What my father is referring to is the matter of the great governor's appointment?"

Changsun Wuji said: "The world is definitely not unchanging. He was the father to protect the position of the crown prince in the Eastern Palace and suppressed the King of Chu for ten years, but he still couldn't suppress it. After today, as one goes up and down, the power of the King of Chu has been completed and it is difficult to stop it."

In the past, Li Ke had no title of a legitimate son, and even defeated Li Chengqian. Now that Li Ke has the title of a legitimate son, is Li Chengqian still Li Ke's opponent?

Changsun Chong said, "So my father wants to get close to the Grand Governor and use the power of the Grand Governor to protect the entire Changsun family."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "It's not the entire Changsun family, it's you, and your future children."

Changsun Chong asked in confusion: "Where is my father saying this?"

Changsun Wuji replied: "I have been enemies with the King of Chu for many years, and I have hated each other to the core. If the prince ascended the throne in the future, I will not be able to tolerate the King of Chu, but if the King of Chu ascended the throne in the future, I will not be able to tolerate the prince and of the father. At that time, the butcher's knife will rise again. If you are under the King of Chu, our Changsun family will not be declining."

If it were in the past, Changsun Wuji and Li Ke were enemies, and if Li Ke ascended the throne in the future, in order to stabilize the dynasty, Li Ke would never let Changsun Wuji and the Changsun family go.

But now it is different. Changsun Chong was a minister under Li Ke for three years, and has accumulated good connections and relationships with Li Ke and his subordinates. As long as Changsun Chong can maintain this relationship, even if Li Ke ascends the throne in the future and wants to attack the Changsun family, he will definitely be open to Changsun Chong's lineage and will not be embarrassed.

Changsun Chong said, "The King of Chu is generous and will never be like this. If my father can put down his figure and make friends with the King of Chu at this time, if he has the face of his own and the princess, the King of Chu will not make things difficult for his father in the future."

Changsun Wuji shook his head decisively, with a hint of paranoidness in his eyes, and said to Changsun: "No, I haven't lost yet, and the Changsun family hasn't lost yet. Although the queen gave Li Ke the identity of the legitimate son, this is just a deal. Our winning chance is still there. The queen has not completely given up on the crown prince and the King of Wei, otherwise the queen would not meet the King of Chu alone."

As Changsun Wuji said, Empress Changsun did not completely give up on the crown prince. If she completely gave up on the crown prince, why did she need to say something to Li Ke privately and establish Li Ke as a legitimate son? She directly suggested that Li Shimin depose Li Chengqian and re-enter Li Ke.

Empress Changsun gave Li Ke the identity of the legitimate son. If Li Ke wants to become the crown prince, everything must be deposed first and Li Chengqian loses his throne, otherwise everything will be false.

Changsun Chong said: "The situation is already like this, why should my father insist so much? He has to make things difficult for the Grand Governor."

Changsun Wuji patted Changsun Chong on the shoulder and smiled and said, "I am the country that Sikong of the current dynasty, founding the country, and his Majesty, who is Li Ke, who is worthy of calling me Fu Xiao to recognize him?"

Changsun Wuji is an old fox and is quite sleek in the court, but this old fox also has his own pride and dignity. He is round on the outside but on the inside. Just like in history, he would rather die than bow to Wu Meiniang in twenty years, Changsun Wuji would never bow to Li Ke now.

Changsun Chong said worriedly: "The prince is not a kind and kind person. My father instigated me to have a good relationship with the King of Chu and ignored me. The prince would not know it. It might make the prince dissatisfied. How could the prince tolerate his father? By then, my father had committed the crime of the King of Chu and did not have a good relationship with the prince. Isn't it difficult?"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Using the prince's means and ability, he will never be able to compete with Li Ke by himself. He must rely on the power of the Changsun family. The prince can tolerate me and not tolerate me, even if he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, the same will be true."

Changsun Chong was silent when he listened to Changsun Wuji's words. As a son, he knew that Changsun Wuji's temper was something he had already determined, no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be useless.

Changsun Chong said, "Since my father has chosen the path, it is not convenient for me to ask more questions as a son. My father is more cautious in everything, so don't get stuck in it."
