Li Zimo pondered for a moment.
"Second brother, is there anyone else in your family who can inherit the throne?”
Li Shi Min frowned. This was asking him to depose the Crown Prince and re-establish the Crown Prince.
"Yes, there is. The third son, Li Chengke, and the fourth son, Li Chengtai. Especially Li Chengke. He is a talented person in both civil and military affairs and is the second candidate.”
Li Zimo smiled and nodded.
"That's right. We'll hold a family meeting and re-elect the heir to the family head.”
" As for the eldest son, Li Qian, since he's already so presumptuous, he'll definitely be a disaster if he stays as the family head. Why don't we just kill him…"
There was nothing wrong with this sentence.
But Li Shimin had his own difficulties.
"But third brother, this method won't work.”
Li Zimo was stunned.
"Why not?"
"Li Chengke is not my wife's son. If he is chosen as the heir, then the other branches of the family will definitely be dissatisfied." Li Shimin sighed.”
Li Shiming was referring to Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji was Zhangsun Wugou's elder brother, Li Chengqian's uncle.
If Li Ke was made Crown Prince, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction in the Zhangsun Clan.
Moreover, it would also be letting down Zhangsun Wugou, this virtuous harem master.
Li Zimo came to a sudden realization and asked,""What about Chengtai?"
Li Shiming sighed." Tai 'er was born to me and my wife, but he's too fat. He's so fat that even walking is a problem for him. Usually, when we hold family meetings, he has to be carried. How…how can he be the heir of the family?"”
Li Shi Min loved Li Tai very much.
However, Li Tai was as fat as a pig, and was privately laughed at as a fat pig prince.
How fat was he? He was so fat that he weighed nearly 300 pounds.
Therefore, Li Shimin gave him many special privileges, such as being able to sit in a sedan chair in court.
One had to know that the civil and military officials, including Crown Prince Li Chengqian, all walked.
He, a prince, could actually sit in a sedan chair.
This fully reflected how much Li Shimin loved him.
Upon hearing this, Li Zimo suddenly understood why his eldest son Qian 'er's temperament had changed so drastically.
A fat pig like you had to be carried for a meeting.
The future heir is not even as good as a fat pig like you?
Such a difference in treatment would definitely create a barrier in people's hearts.
In the end, the reason why Li Qian's personality changed was probably Li Er.
Li Zimo continued to pour wine for Li Shiming and said,""Second Brother Li, this is where you're wrong. Since Tai 'er is already so fat, why did you let him hold a meeting? To lose weight? The family meeting is such a big event, but you actually let someone carry him to the meeting.”
Li Shimin was also in a difficult position.
"I can't lose weight. I'm too fat. How can I lose 300 pounds?”
Li Zimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright, Second Brother, let's talk about Qian 'er. In my opinion, Qian' er is not incurable. As long as he is guided, he can turn over a new leaf.”
"When the time comes, I'll cure his leg disease and breathlessness. I'll definitely become your best successor.”
Li Shi Min's body stiffened as he looked at Li Zimo in disbelief.
"Third brother, is this true?"
"How old is Qian 'er?" Li Zimo nodded.”
"It's the fifteenth today." Li Shi Min replied.
Li Zimo smiled and nodded.
"That's right."
Li Shi Min was puzzled.
"Third Brother, please be clear!"
Li Zimo sighed and said," I've been through it before. Fifteen years old is a rebellious age. Parents should never beat or scold them at this age. Instead, they should give them what they like and guide them carefully. Since Qian 'er is the core heir, he should be the core and focus on nurturing him instead of spreading his worries to other sons. It's understandable that he loves his son, but if the method is wrong, it will harm the child for the rest of his life.”
