Living For Yourself
A trace of coldness flashed in Li Jiang's eyes. Others might not be able to see through Li Chengqian's scheme, but as a member of the Imperial Family, Li Jiang immediately thought of the key point.
Li Chengqian, I have never thought of snatching your position as Crown Prince, but now you actually dare to plot against me like this?
It seemed that the kindness he gave Li Chengqian previously was not taken to heart by Li Chengqian in the slightest.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!
Li Jiang didn't care much about the family ties after transmigrating. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed two princes in a row.
His usual style was that he would not attack unless others attacked him. If others attacked him, not even a blade of grass would survive!
Since Li Chengqian dared to attack first, then don't blame me!
Li Shiming also looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. As one of the few powerful emperors in history, he was very good at the emperor's mind.
Although Li Chengqian hid his thoughts very well, he saw through it with a glance.
It had to be said that although Li Chengqian was the Crown Prince, in terms of methods, he was far from Li Shiming and Li Jiang's opponent.
"Is this what my son really thinks?"
Li Shi Min understood this in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He had killed his brother and forced his father to seize the throne, so he was very disgusted with the internal strife in the palace.
Now that he sensed Li Chengqian's little thoughts, he was naturally unhappy. However, he still wanted to give Li Chengqian a chance.
Or rather, he himself was tempted.
This was a contradictory thought.
On one hand, he did not like Li Chengqian using such petty tricks, but on the other hand, he did not want to change the Crown Prince. Otherwise, Li Chengqian's life would definitely be lost.
If he wanted to protect the lives of his children, then his position as the Crown Prince must not be shaken!
Therefore, although he liked Li Jiang, he did not want Li Jiang to be the Crown Prince.
On one hand, he said this to give Li Chengqian a chance. On the other hand, wasn't he also giving Li Jiang a chance?
If you know what's good for you, take the initiative to accept this task. Don't make things difficult for Imperial Father!
He was handing the difficulty of the choice to Li Chengqian and Li Jiang!
"Haha."
Li Jiang naturally understood what Li Shiming meant. He couldn't help but smile and said,""Imperial Father, there is no need to make things difficult for the Crown Prince.”
Li Chengqian was feeling troubled. When he heard Li Jiang speak, he could not help but look at Li Jiang.
"As a member of the Great Tang's royal family, it is only right for your son to share the burdens of the Great Tang. Tubo has been harassing the Western Regions for a long time, so your son is willing to personally go and pacify Tubo.”
As Li Jiang spoke, he sneered and said to Li Chengqian,"I understand the good intentions of my brother, the Crown Prince. I will make plans after I return from the Western Regions!”
It had to be said that during his time in the Great Tang, Li Jiang had practiced the art of speech to perfection.
On the one hand, he accepted the task according to Li Chengqian's words on the surface, but the hidden meaning was also obvious.
What he meant was, Li Chengqian, this matter isn't over yet. When I return from the Western Regions, I'll settle it all together!
Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at by Li Jiang's cold gaze. Suddenly, an ominous feeling flashed across his mind.
This little brother was getting more and more incomprehensible.
"Since that's the case, I wish you a triumphant return. When the time comes, we will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate…"
Li Chengqian forced a smile.
Seeing that the two brothers had settled the matter, Li Shi Min heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to make things difficult for them.
It was all because Li Jiang was born too late and did not ascend to the position of Crown Prince. Otherwise, he would not be in such a difficult position.
Under the choice between the Crown Prince and the King of Nanyang, Li Shi Min eventually leaned closer to Li Chengqian.
The Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne.
"In that case, my son will work hard again. When he returns triumphantly to the court, I will definitely reward him!”
Li Shi Min decided.
The rest of the ministers could not deny this matter. Anyway, it was a matter of the Tian family. Even if they wanted to have any opinions, they could not express them.
On the other hand, Cheng Yaojin felt indignant. The credit for pacifying the Turks had been wiped out just like that. Was this still the handsome Emperor from back then?
Could it be that as His Majesty grew older, he was no longer as wise as before?
Li Jiang smiled and bowed to Li Shiming."Your son thanks Imperial Father. I hope Imperial Father will take care of himself after this farewell.”
Seeing Li Jiang's polite manner, Li Shiming sighed in his heart.
He was also in a difficult position.
No matter what, no matter if his son had really made a contribution or not, he had just returned from the battlefield. But now, he was actually going out to battle again.
"I will treat this matter as my father letting you down.”
Li Shi Min sighed and said to himself.
Li Jiang was completely disappointed when he saw that Li Shiming didn't have any reaction.
Although he didn't care about the battle achievements, Li Shiming's attitude disappointed him.
Therefore, this bow was his last bow to Li Shi Min, to fulfill the relationship between father and son.
"After this matter, I, Li Jiang, will only live for myself.
He would never give way to anyone who stood in his way, even Li Shi Min!
Having made this decision, Li Jiang suddenly felt a sense of relief. In the Great Tang, he was just a passerby, but he was not just a passerby. Now that he had let go of this nonexistent father-son relationship, he felt much more relaxed.
He didn't need to worry about his actions anymore.
Then, Tubo, here I come!
Li Chengqian, just wait for this king's subsequent revenge!
