Second Brother Li looked at Li Ke, who was talking to his ministers with his back facing him. He sat on the dragon throne expressionlessly and watched the follow-up of the matter.
He wanted to see how Li Ke would end up.
"Let me ask everyone again, do I have any shortcomings? If there is, please tell me, I will correct myself in time.”
Li Ke finally asked.
However, no one spoke to him.
"Since none of you have any objections, can I take it that I'm perfect in your eyes? Since I'm perfect, why do you think I'm not suitable to be the Crown Prince? Is it because I'm not suitable for your interests after becoming the Crown Prince?”
After Li Ke said this, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Li Ke with a strange expression.
"This child is anxious. How dare he bring up such a taboo topic in such an occasion?”
Although Li Er looked at Li Ke with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
However, he did not stop her.
He wanted to see how Li Ke, who had directly pulled this topic from the darkness to the surface, would end up.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, you can't say such things! Our loyalty to the Great Tang can be proven by the sun and the moon, so how can we be selfish about the matter of the Crown Prince! I hope the emperor can understand!"
"Your Highness Wu Wang, please don't slander me! We're all sincere. You're wronging us by saying that!”
"Emperor, you must be clear! We don't have such thoughts!"
...
While these old things were busy expressing their loyalty, the system's voice sounded in Li Ke's ear again.
[Ding-dong. The host has once again defeated the ministers.] Stamina 1."
Another warm current spread through his body.
Li Ke felt so comfortable that he shivered.
Then, he let out a deep breath.
When he looked at those great success realm experts again, his eyes seemed to be about to emit light.
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, those old ministers who had previously suggested that he was not suitable to be the Crown Prince suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Everyone knew that this kind of problem involved benefits, but now that it was put on the surface, and discussed in front of the emperor, it might be beheaded and confiscated!
Under Zhangsun Wuji's lead, they began to express their loyalty to Second Brother Li, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
All of them wanted to bend their backs to their knees.
When Li Ke saw this, his eyes were filled with smiles.
"A bunch of old things, you're finally willing to speak!”
After Li Ke saw that these old things were finally willing to speak, the expression in his eyes became even more excited.
As long as someone spoke, he could continue to refute them.
Li Ke was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he let these old fellows act out their parts and then see what Li Er's attitude was.
Li Ke had thought about asking this question before.
No matter how ruthless Li Er was, he would not kill him like this.
Since his life was not in danger for the time being, he naturally would not say that he was afraid of offending anyone.
So what if he offended those officials who did not support him as the Crown Prince?
Li Ke waited for a few seconds, but he still didn't see Second Brother Li speak.
The smile on his face grew even wider.
If the other party did not say anything, it meant that the topic she was talking about had not touched his bottom line.
Then, the next step was to test the bottom line crazily.
"Everyone, since you've already said that you don't mean that. Then, regarding the matter of me being the Crown Prince, can you all express your opinions this time?”
Li Ke did not wait for these old foxes to speak this time.
Instead, he had completely grasped the initiative in his own hands.
The system had said that it wanted to scold the ministers, but he did not know if it would be enough to scold all of them or just a few of them.
After Li Ke swept his gaze across the officials, he finally locked his gaze on Zhangsun Wuji.
This old man was the leader of all the people who opposed him to the crown prince.
He wanted to see how much he could earn from fighting him alone.
"Lord Zhangsun, I saw that you were the first to stand up and speak just now. I think you should know my shortcomings! I hope you can give me some pointers so that I can use you as a mirror to conveniently mend myself! Once again, I'm eternally grateful."
Zhangsun Wuji saw that Li Ke had pointed the spearhead at him, and then looked up at Second Brother Li who was sitting on the high seat.
However, he discovered that the other party was currently playing with a jade thumb ring in his hand without blinking, as if that thumb ring contained endless pleasure.
"Alright, since His Highness Wu Wang has already said so, then this old man will also express my opinion!”
Zhangsun Wuji saw that Li Shimin was completely laissez-faire, and he couldn't grasp Li Erge's thoughts for a moment.
But now that the arrow was on the bow, he had no choice but to shoot.
After a moment of contemplation, he finally opened his mouth.
"I'm all ears."
Li Ke took a step back and looked straight at Zhangsun Wuji.
"Actually, His Highness Wu Wang himself doesn't have too many flaws. However, since ancient times, the Crown Prince has been the direct descendant. How can we break the rules left behind by our ancestors? Therefore, this humble subject believes that His Highness the King of Wu is not suitable to be the Crown Prince. This does not conform to common sense.”
After Zhangsun Wuji said this, Li Ke immediately felt disappointed.
He originally thought that the other party would say something incisive.
After all this time, he only used this common sense to brush it off.
However, this was indeed the best answer for the time being.
He threw himself out of the picture and put on a matter-of-fact attitude.
It was as if he was just defending etiquette and had no selfish motives.
