"Father!"
Li Ke was summoned into the palace by Li Shi Min and he looked at him calmly.
"What's going on?
Why did you kill your big brother?
Why?"
Li Shi Min roared.
Although he had killed Li Jiancheng and became the emperor, he did not want to see his sons killing each other.
As a father, he naturally hoped that his sons would get along well.
"The Crown Prince and Li Jiancheng's former subordinate, Qiu Tianjue, are conspiring to rebel.
He attempted to kill his son at the Black Tortoise Sect.
Fortunately, your son's martial arts are outstanding, so I managed to escape.”
Li Ke said indifferently.
"Then why didn't you capture your big brother and kill him instead?
Why didn't you kill him?
You guys are brothers! You killed your big brother just like that?"
Li Shi Min roared angrily.
It was a fact that the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the hidden Crown Prince Li Jiancheng's former subordinate Qiu Tianjue were plotting a rebellion.
However, he was furious at Li Ke's ruthlessness.
He killed his own brother without hesitation.
As a father, he didn't want to see flesh and blood fighting each other.
"Brothers?"
Li Ke sneered in his heart.
He can't wait to burn me to ashes, and I'm still his brother?
I'm stupid!
"It was an emergency.
Either you die or I live.
In order to survive, your son couldn't care less, so he had no choice but to kill the Crown Prince to protect himself.”
Li Ke's questioning towards Li Shimin was still indifferent.
"Haha! Hahaha! As expected of my son, very good! Very good! Very good!"
Li Shi Min laughed in anger and shouted three times.
"Did you know that the Crown Prince was plotting a rebellion?
That was why he was prepared to kill the Crown Prince.
If you knew, why didn't you tell me in advance?”
Li Shi Min looked at Li Ke and questioned.
"Your son does not know! If he knew, he would have brought more than twenty people into the palace?”
Li Ke asked with a normal expression.
He then said,
"Furthermore, your son knew that the Crown Prince was going to rebel and told Imperial Father.
Father…would you believe it?"
"You…"
Li Shi Min choked.
He was deeply hurt by Li Ke's words,'Father, will you believe me?'
Li Ke had just been conferred the title of King of Qin yesterday, and today he came to say that the Crown Prince wanted to rebel!
What would Li Shimin think?
Are you trying to mess with your brother because I'm doting on you?
At that time, Li Shiming might think of many things.
Moreover, Li Ke did not have any evidence that Li Chengqian would definitely rebel.
He was only planning ahead based on the clues.
Without solid evidence, how could he accuse Li Chengqian of rebellion?
Who knew what Li Shiming would think if this didn't happen?
"Alright, you may leave!"
In the end, Li Shi Min waved his hand tiredly.
"Your son will take his leave!"
Li Ke bowed and left.
……
"Your Highness!
Now that the Crown Prince is dead, tomorrow will…"
As soon as Li Ke returned, Wu Yong, Chen Gong, and Xu Shu came to pay their respects.
At the same time, he revealed a meaning.
Since the Crown Prince was dead, they had to find a new Crown Prince.
Should Li Ke fight for that position?
"Don't move!"
Li Ke softly spat out three words.
"Your Highness is indeed resourceful!"
Wu Yong, Chen Gong, and Xu Shu revealed looks of admiration.
They were just asking Li Ke for his opinion.
If Li Ke was determined to fight for the position of Crown Prince, they would still think of ways to stop him.
Because it was not yet time for Li Ke to fight for the position of Crown Prince.
Firstly, it was because of his bloodline. It was destined that the ministers in the court would not support him.
Since the officials in the court did not support him, Li Shi Min naturally would not insist on making him the Crown Prince.
Although Li Shi Min recognized Li Ke's talent, he might not make this son of the previous dynasty the Crown Prince.
The second was Zhangsun Wuji and the others.
Even if the Crown Prince died, there was still the King of Wei, Li Tai, and the King of Jin, Li Zhi.
No matter what, it was not Li Ke's turn.
The third was the aristocratic families.
A behemoth that could not be ignored.
Li Ke clearly wanted to get rid of the aristocratic families, so how could the aristocratic families tolerate Li Ke taking the throne?
Naturally, they would try their best to stop him.
As long as these three factors existed, Li Ke would not be able to rise to the top.
Of course, unless Li Ke's own strength was strong enough to crush everything, then it would not matter.
"Take one step, and you have to take three steps!"
Li Ke's expression was indifferent.
"Wu Yong.
Inform Ling Zhen to speed up the production of firearms, cannons, and other related items.
Let Li Ying and Mi Zhu buy rations and create the new military rations that this king has developed.
He asked Guan Yu, Lin Chong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and the others to strengthen the training of the Zuo Xiao Guard Camp and the guards of the Heaven Palace Sect.
Because war is about to break out."
"Your Highness has already seen it?"
Xu Shu could not help but ask.
After careful discussion, the three top strategists came to the conclusion that a war was about to break out.
He did not expect Li Ke to see it too.
"I saw it when I killed Li Chengqian.
A terrifying war was about to erupt, a war that could topple the Great Tang.
Once this war broke out, it would be enough to sweep through the Great Tang and topple it.
Moreover, it would probably erupt in less than ten days.
Therefore, This King must make preparations in advance.”
Li Ke said with a solemn expression.
He, Wu Yong, Chen Gong, and Xu Shu came to the same conclusion.
A war so terrifying that it could topple the Great Tang was about to erupt.
But this war was also an opportunity.
This is the opportunity for this king to truly rise.
