You're Still A Little Green
Tang Jian was originally on good terms with Li Shimin, so he mentioned that the position of the Crown Prince should not be vacant.
In the end, Li Yuan directly issued an edict and made Li Chengdao the imperial grandson.
This action and behavior directly exceeded everyone's imagination.
"With the title of Crown Prince, Chengdao will be much more relaxed no matter what he does.”
Li Yuan thought to himself as his gaze swept past the ministers in the hall. Finally, it landed on Li Shiming's face, which was filled with disbelief. He smiled.
You're still too inexperienced to fight with your father.
When Li Shi Min came back to his senses, his handsome face was ashen.
He desperately suppressed the rage in his heart and resisted the urge to draw his sword and hurt someone on the spot.
Li Yuan actually named Li Chengdao as the imperial grandson!
This was completely out of Li Shi Min's expectations, and he didn't know how to respond.
The decree was issued in front of all the civil and military officials, unless Li Shi Min killed all of them.
Otherwise, the matter of Li Chengdao being the imperial grandson would not be able to be suppressed or concealed.
Everything he had painstakingly planned seemed to have been set in stone.
"Zhen is a little tired. If there's nothing else, I'll withdraw from the court.”
Li Yuan waved his imperial crown and proudly walked out of the hall.
The group of ministers looked at each other and then at Li Shi Min, whose face was dark and silent.
All of them kept quiet out of fear and filed out of the hall.
Only Li Shi Min was left standing there, his face as still as water, his face ashen, staring blankly at the throne.
……
In the Heavenly Policy Office.
"Why? Why did father do this? Big brother is already dead, but you're still unwilling to make me the Crown Prince!”
In the study, Li Shimin smashed everything in the room.
Even the bookshelves had fallen to the ground. The entire study was in a mess.
The position of Crown Prince that was originally within his grasp had actually disappeared just like that.
Li Shi Min couldn't accept this result.
The new batch of servants in the mansion all kept quiet out of fear. No one dared to appear in front of Li Shiming at this time. They didn't even dare to stay near the study.
They were afraid that they would encounter an unexpected disaster if they were not careful.
However, there was only one person who dared to approach the enraged Li Shiming, and that was Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji quietly watched Li Shiming vent his anger in the corner of the study. After he vented his anger, he sighed," Your Highness, please calm down. Don't be angry and ruin your health."”
"Calm down? Ancestors, how do you expect me to appease my anger!"
Li Shi Min's expression was ferocious." I wish I could put a knife to his neck and ask him why!”
Such disgraceful words would probably cause an uproar among countless people if they were to spread.
Only in front of Zhangsun Wuji would Li Shiming dare to be so reckless.
First it was Li Jiancheng, and now it was Li Chengdao.
At the critical moment of the fight for the throne, he lost to this father and son in succession, making Li Shimin extremely angry.
Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty's move has really shocked everyone. Originally, everyone thought that the position of Crown Prince was set in stone for Your Highness. It was broken just like that."
Now, there were few who were dissatisfied with the imperial edict.
At present, there was no room for redemption.
We have to find a way to break out of this situation from another angle.”
Even if Li Shimin took control of the Imperial Palace with lightning speed, then took military power from Li Yuan and took control of Chang 'an.
But now, the officials in the court were either old officials who had followed Li Yuan's uprising, or officials who supported the Crown Prince. Very few of them supported Li Shimin.
Therefore, the decree to confer Li Chengdao as the Crown Prince was passed from the court to the local area without any obstruction.
Li Shi Min was helpless.
At this point, even if he held a knife to Li Yuan's neck to threaten him, it would be useless.
Li Shiming looked at the messy study and said,"This king killed the Crown Prince and King Qi, breaking His Majesty's heart.”
"Your Highness, from the moment we decided to start the rebellion, the Crown Prince and King Qi had to die." Zhangsun Wuji said sternly.
Now was not the time to worry about whether or not to make His Majesty sad. Instead, he should think about how to further expand the results of the Black Tortoise Sect mutiny.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and said,"This king has fallen into a dead end. Ancestors, what should we do in this situation?”
" Although His Majesty made the Prince of Anlu Commandery the Emperor's grandson, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to Your Highness," Zhangsun Wuji said.
However, the truth was that Chang 'an and the Royal Palace were all under His Highness' control.
Even if Li Chengdao was the imperial grandson, he was only a crown prince who could not appear in the imperial court.
In fact, he could not get anything other than the title of Crown Prince.
In the entire imperial court, His Highness still had the final say.
His Highness can use His Majesty's name to exercise the authority of the Emperor.
However, before the time was ripe, he must not be impatient to ascend the throne.
He could not hurt His Majesty at all.
Otherwise, if His Highness's bad reputation resurfaced, it would be very easy for Taisun to take advantage of the loophole.”
"I understand." Li Shi Min took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal.
What he needed to do next was to announce what he wanted to do in the name of Emperor Li Yuan.
It is the same as Cao Cao holding the emperor to command the vassals.
"Assistant Minister, are you going to put Imperial Father under house arrest from tomorrow onwards and not let him go to court?”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said,"
"Your Highness is right. We must put His Majesty under house arrest.
His Highness only needed to announce to the public that His Majesty was seriously ill and needed to recuperate and was unable to handle government affairs.
Since the Emperor's grandson is not in Chang 'an, Your Highness will take over the government affairs and supervise the country.
After His Highness took control of the situation. He could find a suitable time to fake an edict and find a reason to abolish Li Chengdao's position as the Crown Prince.”
After hearing Zhangsun Wuji's plan, Li Shiming thought for a moment and smiled.
"Good."
