Chapter Thirty-Four

Li Ke's words have already been said to this, and Li Shimin's reaction is already the same. The so-called others do not understand the relationship between father and son of the Tian family. This is just for all officials in the court to listen to, and both inside and outside imply that both Li Shimin and Li Ke want to save Li Chengqian's life.

Li Shimin was the emperor, and Li Shimin expressed his intention to make Li Ke the crown prince in front of everyone. Li Shimin wanted to protect Li Chengqian's life, and Li Ke also wanted to protect Li Chengqian's life. The current and future emperors of the Tang Dynasty must protect Li Chengqian's life. Who dares to kill him?

Li Shimin helped Li Ke up, turned his head, and asked the ministers behind him: "I want to follow the advice of the King of Chu to protect the life of the rebellious son Li Chengqian, deposed the position of crown prince, demoted him to a commoner, expel him from Chang'an, and exiled him to Qianzhou. All the ministers thought it was okay."

Regarding Li Chengqian's rebellion, the most important opinion in the court was the officials who were close friends with Li Ke and Li Tai. Now Li Ke has already spoken to save Li Chengqian's life, and Li Tai will not refute it, and Li Chengqian's life was saved.

"Your Majesty will be a kind father, and you will be good at it all in your entire life." Seeing this, General Shi She Lai Ji first stepped forward and told Li Shimin.

In fact, now that things have come to this point, Li Chengqian’s killing or not killing has no hindered the overall situation. Lai Ji spoke again, and the Secretariat Secretariat Cen Wenben also listed: “The words of the people who come to the house are quite good, I will discuss them.”

If Li Ke had just asked for Li Chengqian in front of the ministers, he might have been deliberately trying to buy people's hearts. However, with the fact that the King of Chu and the Minister of the Secretariat Cen Wenben spoke, the minister of the King of Chu wanted to protect Li Chengqian became more and more confident.

The prince has declined and the rise of the King of Chu is unstoppable. Who will stand up and oppose Li Ke and Li Shimin at this time?

As soon as Cen Wenben's words came out, all the officials led by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui agreed, wishing to save the prince's life.

"Subordinates: I have had emperors and kings, ministers and ministers, and all established superiors to keep the ancestors, to keep their own love, to keep the world fair. I know that the throne of the throne is sent by the deputy, to the country is safe; to abolish the rules of establishment, and to be decreed by the magnitude of the throne, to be a commoner. I have been ordered to be a god, to be a parent, to be raised by all people, and even to be the tomb heirs, would rather not be obsessed with it. Once this comes, I will feel ashamed."

A letter of "The Decree of the Crown Prince Chengqian as a Commoner" written by Li Shimin was issued from the Ministry of Education and spread throughout the world. The Crown Prince Li Chengqian was demoted to a commoner, removed from the position of crown prince, and exiled to Qianzhou.

Qianzhou is therefore called Qian'an County. It is bordered by Sichuan and Sichuan in the west and Guizhou in the east. It is also a remote and barren land. It is reasonable to use it for exile. However, although Qianzhou is barren, it is not wild. Compared with the miasma-scattered Lingnan and the northwest of flying sand and rocks, Qianzhou is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is appropriate to keep Li Chengqian here to think about his mistakes, and it also shows that Li Shimin is pitying his son.

With the edict to depose Li Chengqian, it means that the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was originally defending the championship, has been eliminated in the battle for the crown prince. This should have been a good thing for other princes, but King Li Tai of Wei was not happy.

If this matter was made more than a year ago, when Li Ke's destruction of the country had not been made, Empress Changsun was still alive, and Li Ke was not his legitimate son, Li Tai would naturally be extremely happy, but now this news is too late for Li Tai.

In just over a year, the situation has changed drastically. Li Ke's momentum has made rapid progress, first taking the merit of destroying Xue Yantuo, and then gaining the status of a legitimate son before Empress Changsun's death. However, as one goes up and down, Li Tai's power has gradually weakened. Not only has he lost his greatest advantage as a legitimate son, but even Li Shimin's favor for Li Ke has surpassed him even after today.

Chang'an City, Shengyefang, and Wei's Palace.

Today, Li Tai watched Li Ke show his own sensation in the palace and take advantage of it, but he could only watch it with a gaze. Li Tai was already angry in the palace. He was able to maintain his own fashion in the palace, but after leaving the palace and returning home, he started to make trouble.

"What is Li Ke? Why can he wear his father's ward?" Li Tai kicked over the table and chairs in the house while waving his arms and shouting angrily.

Li Tai was very disturbed. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he was furious and also disturbed Princess Wei Yan Wan. Yan Wan heard that Li Tai was angry in the mansion and rushed over. She saw tables and chairs on the ground in the house, and couldn't help but be surprised.

In Yan Wan's eyes, Li Tai has always claimed to be elegant and elegant, and his temperament is quite gentle. He rarely has such anger as he is today. This may be the first time in Yan Wan's memory.

"What is your intention? How did your highness suddenly burst into thunderous anger?" Yan Wan entered the house, and while winking, she ordered the servants in the mansion to clean up the house, she asked Li Tai.

Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Today's court meeting, Li Ke pretended to be accused of guilt and pleaded for the prince. His father was deceived by Li Ke and put the emperor's court uniform on him in front of all the officials in the court. What is Li Ke? He is just a concubine's son, and is he worthy of the imperial court uniform?"

Yan Wan also just learned about today's events. Although Yan Wan listened to Li Tai's words, she still didn't know the details, but after listening to it, Yan Wan said: "What? How can the emperor be so arrogant? How could the father be like this?"

Li Tai said: "It's not you. You have always advised me not to be too hasty in the fight for the throne. I have to cultivate the reputation of literary masters first, and then compete for the throne. But as you said, I devote myself to literary affairs, recruit talents, and compile the "Guodizhi". But before the "Guodizhi" was completed, Li Ke was about to ascend to the throne. What's the use of me if I want this talent?"

Yan Wan was the daughter of the great scholar Yan Lide. She came from a famous family and valued literary reputation the most. When Yan Wan married Li Tai, she knew Li Tai's thoughts and once urged Li Tai to write books and gain the hearts of the whole world's officials.

In fact, what Yan Wan said is nothing wrong. If a prince wants to be outstanding, it is nothing more than a civil and military path. In terms of martial arts, ten Li Tai is not as good as one Li Ke. Therefore, the path of practicing martial arts is abolished. Li Tai can only walk the literary path. So Li Tai recruited scholar Jiang Yaqing and others to write the "Guodizhi" from Yan Wan. However, his "Guodizhi" has not been completed, and the position of the prince is about to be decided, so how can he not be anxious?

Yan Wan said: "It takes time to accumulate fame and reputation, but it takes a lot of time, so how can it be accomplished overnight? Who would have thought that the prince would suddenly rebellion and collapse? I just don't know what my uncle thinks about this matter. Didn't his uncle even dissuade him when he saw Li Ke gaining power?"

When Li Tai heard this, he remembered Changsun Wuji. Li Tai said to Yan Wan: "Yes, although my mother is gone, I still have an uncle. My father trusts his uncle the most. The father will definitely ask his uncle what he means when he becomes the crown prince. Uncle and Li Ke have always been disagreement, and there have been a rift. Can my uncle still watch Li Ke become the crown prince?"
