In the Yin and Yang Palace, Li Shimin's eyes were cold, while Empress Zhangsun was panicking.
Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin had been married for more than ten years, so she knew Li Shimin's thoughts very well. When Li Shimin asked who the eldest son was, he was actually asking who the crown prince was.
The eldest son is the prince, this is the ancient precept! However, no one knew who was the eldest son between Li Kuan and Li Chengqian.
"Your Majesty, the Great Tang is rarely at peace. His Majesty must not go to war again. This eldest son is the foundation of the Great Tang. Now Chengqian is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Your Majesty must not forget!”
Hearing Empress Zhangsun's words, Li Shiming punched his own palm.
"Sigh! I, Li Shi Min, am the emperor, do I have to be kept in the dark for the rest of my life?”
"Your Majesty, Kuan 'er is now healthy and healthy. Chengqian is also diligent and studious. The officials in the court are loyal. Your Majesty can't act on impulse at this time!”
Empress Zhangsun's persuasion calmed Li Shimin down, but the anger in his eyes didn't disappear.
"Guanyin maid, you understand the logic of your words. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed put and not brought Kuan 'er back to the palace!”
"Then why is Your Majesty still so conflicted about who is the eldest son between Kuan-er and Chengqian?”
"Sigh! Although Chengqian was diligent and studious, Kuan-er was even more talented!”
"Your Majesty, you have to think twice!"
Empress Zhangsun spoke in a sorrowful tone. Although she also felt sorry for Li Kuan, who had been wandering among the people for more than ten years, the position of the Crown Prince was the foundation of the stability of the court. How could he be easily changed?
Moreover, Li Kuan had been among the common people before this, and the ministers in the court did not know about it. If Li Kuan was appointed as the Crown Prince at this time, it would probably cause another chaos in the court.
Li Shi Min's face froze for a moment, then he smiled.
"Guanyin maid, I understand your worries. I didn't say anything bad about Chengqian. The most important thing now is how to bring Kuan-er back to our side.”
Empress Zhangsun heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.""Your Majesty is right. ChenQie really wants to see Kuan-er as soon as possible!”
"Guanyin maid, now is not the time. However, I plan to visit Kuan 'er at the Wanfu Pavilion first, and then think of a way to bring Kuan' er back to the palace!”
After Empress Zhangsun heard this, she looked a little worried.""Your Majesty, if you go to the Myriad Blessing Pavilion, then Kuan 'er will become the target of public criticism. Then the safety of Kuan-er, this is…"
"Don't worry, Guanyin. I've already sent the Hundred Cavalry Division to protect Kuan-er in secret. As long as anyone dares to plot against Kuan-er, I will definitely crush them to pieces!”
Li Shi Min's tone turned cold. After Empress Zhangsun heard this, she let out a long sigh.
After Empress Zhangsun left, Li Shiming looked at the teacup in front of him with a cold smile.
He was the Emperor of the Great Tang, so he should be the one to decide who the Crown Prince belonged to.
Although it was an ancient saying that the eldest son was the crown prince, was he the eldest son?
The world had always been won by the talented. If his other sons were talented, would he have to pass the throne to a mediocre person?
Li Shimin thought of this and decided to find some time to go to Wanfu Building to meet his son who had the same temper as him.
At this time, Wan Kuan did not expect that he had been targeted by the Emperor of the Tang Empire. At this time, Wan Kuan was leaning against the armchair, leisurely resting with his eyes closed.
That Li girl was a princess. Looking at her age, she should be the eldest daughter of the current Emperor, Princess Changle, Li Lizhi.
And that little girl Wu was the daughter of a High Duke. Although there weren't many High Dukes, there weren't many. However, there was only one person with the surname Wu, and that was Duke Ying, Wu Shi.
This Martial Warrior Mu was extremely famous, but this was not because he had made great contributions to the Great Tang. It was because this warrior had a good daughter, Empress Wu Zetian.
However, that Wu girl didn't look like Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian wasn't that old, so she should be Wu Zetian's sister.
At this moment, Wan Kuan was thinking about that Wu girl. Although this Wu Shi was a Duke, her status was not high. Moreover, he was not born in a high family and was just a merchant.
However, when the Retired Emperor had raised his army, Wu Shi had spent all his wealth to fund the military expenses. Thus, after the Great Tang had been established, the Retired Emperor had given him the title of Duke.
But now that Li Er had ascended the throne, Retired Emperor was already a thing of the past. This samurai was currently plagued with illness, so he had no place in the court at all.
Such a powerless Duke probably wouldn't live for many years. And after his death, when Li Er was settling the dignitaries, the title of Duke Ying could be considered to be lost.
Moreover, the two sons of Wu Shi Huo were the ones in charge of the Duke of Ying's Public House. This Wu girl must be living in poverty, and the mother and daughter were having a hard time.
Wan Kuan really wanted to know his identity now. Although Wan Kuan guessed that his identity was not low, how high was it exactly?
If he was the illegitimate son of some prince, that would be good. The daughter of a fallen Duke was a perfect match for him.
That Wu girl's peerless beauty and natural charm were really unforgettable in Wan Kuan's mind for a long time.
Wan Kuan stroked his chin, wondering what he should do. What was the use of just making money? Now, the money vault of his manor was full!
