" What?!" Li Shi Min's face darkened as he frowned and fell into deep thought.
The ministers were even more flustered. For a moment, the atmosphere in the side hall became extremely heavy.
"Report!" Another urgent report came. A small official from the military rushed in from outside the door." Your Majesty, the Jie Li army has taken down Wei Prefecture…They…They massacred Wei Prefecture City. All 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Wei Prefecture City…all died…"
The situation in Chang 'an City was in danger. Li Shiming suddenly felt his vision go black and his whole body swayed.
Li Chengqian could feel that Li Shiming's grip on his hand was getting tighter and tighter.
"Your Majesty! The situation was critical, Jie Li's 200,000 strong army was close at hand! There were only 30,000 troops in Chang 'an Fortress. Li Jing's army was held back by Luo Yi and could not return to help. Chang' an Fortress…Chang 'an Fortress might not be able to hold on! Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Fang Xuanling stepped out of the crowd and reminded Li Shimin anxiously.
Seeing that Li Shimin was still silent, the Minister of Right, Feng Deyi, trembled as he stepped forward and bowed,""Your Majesty! He couldn't wait any longer! I implore Your Majesty to move the capital to Luoyang and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of Jie Li!”
"There's no need to mention the matter of moving the capital! I've just ascended the throne and I'm being forced to move the capital by the Turks. How do you want the world to view me?! If Chang 'an was lost, the world would be in chaos!”Li Shi Min suddenly stood up and ordered with a determined expression,"Hou Junji! Immediately gather the 16 guards. I want to personally lead the army!”
" You can't, Your Majesty!!" Zhangsun Wuji was the first to fall to the ground, hugging Li Shimin's thigh and persuading,""Your Majesty, Jie Li has 200,000 elite cavalrymen this time. With just the 30,000 soldiers in the city, they are definitely not Jie Li's match!”
"Your Majesty! If Your Majesty is determined to do so, please make a decision on the matter of opposing the Crown Prince as soon as possible!”Feng Deyi continued.
As soon as Feng De Yi said this, the atmosphere in the side hall fell to the bottom. Everyone's face was pale, and they looked at Li Shi Min with solemn eyes.
Li Shiming turned his head slightly and looked at Li Chengqian with a sharp gaze.
"Not good!" Li Chengqian's entire body trembled, suddenly having a bad premonition!
Li Shi Min's gaze clearly indicated that he wanted to make him the Crown Prince!
In the history, Li Chengqian was not appointed as the crown prince until after the alliance at Weishui River. However, this world seemed to be a bit different from the history that Li Chengqian knew. When the alliance at Weishui River was signed, Li Chengqian remembered that Li Chengqian was only 8 years old in the history; however, his body didn't look like that!
"I can't let him make me the Crown Prince!”Li Chengqian's mind quivered. He thought of the Li Chengqian in history who became the target of public criticism after he was appointed as the Crown Prince. He could only live a cautious life every day. In the end, he did not become the Emperor and even ended up in a tragic end. Li Chengqian was determined not to be the Crown Prince even if he was beaten to death!
Since he knew that Li Shiming could become a wise ruler and bring about the prosperity of Zhenguan, he might as well obediently give up the position of Crown Prince and be a carefree salted fish king. He would let Li Shiming give him a fertile land and then eat, drink, and play all day. He would also get a few more princesses to live a comfortable life. Li Chengqian thought that this was the wisest choice for a transmigrator like him!
As for the throne, whoever wanted to fight for it could!
"In that case, I will settle the matter of choosing the heir today!”Li Shi Min stared at Li Cheng Qian for a long time before he finally made up his mind and turned to look at everyone.
"We're finished!" Li Ke and his subordinates, Feng Deyi, instantly turned ashen.
Li Shi Min's expression had already explained everything!
Li Chengqian narrowly escaped death and profited from a disaster. He was about to obtain the position of Crown Prince!
Zhangsun Wuji and Hou Junji looked at each other, delight flashing through their eyes.
Even the grief-stricken Empress Zhangsun felt a sense of relief.
"I announce! Li Shiming took a step forward solemnly, his aura incomparably imposing, and the aura of an emperor soared into the sky!
In the entire side hall, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They were so nervous that they could not breathe!
However, just as Li Shiming was about to say the name Li Chengqian, the person in question, Li Chengqian, suddenly jumped off the bed and kneeled on the ground without any regard for his image. He shouted,"Father! I recommend Li Ke, Prince of Changsha! The Prince of Changsha, Li Ke, was intelligent, benevolent, filial, heroic, decisive, talented, and both civil and military. He had the demeanor of his father! He is indeed the best candidate for the crown prince! Your son pleads with Father to make Third Brother Li Ke the Crown Prince!”
The moment Li Chengqian's words left his mouth, the entire side hall suddenly stifled!
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian as if they were looking at a lunatic. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What the hell is Li Chengqian doing?!!”Li Ke stared at his elder brother with his eyes wide open, his mind instantly turning into mush!
His Highness 'ministers had the same thoughts as Li Ke.
These ministers were usually quick to calculate their plans. Whenever something happened, they would fight to stand up and debate. However, at this moment, these ministers were all dumbstruck and stood rooted to the ground.
