Wei Zheng looked at Li Yun in shock.
The Crown Prince wanted to rebel?
If the person who spoke was not Li Yun, Wei Zheng would definitely have taken him down on the spot!
He knew how much effort the Emperor had put in for Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince!
Not only did he invite countless famous scholars to teach him every day, but he also often praised the Crown Prince's virtue and knowledge in public.
It was to establish his authority as the Crown Prince!
Even the Emperor was defending Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince. One could imagine that the officials naturally did not dare to have any other thoughts.
Although the Emperor was secretly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's progress, he had never thought of changing the Crown Prince!
Thus, there was a consensus in the court that it was only a matter of time before Crown Prince Li Chengqian inherited the throne!
But the person who said this was Li Yun!!
With a flip of his hand, he could easily deal with the two powerful enemies of the Turks and Tubo with a few simple words!
A casual thought could make the Emperor hand over the money even if he knew that he was being scammed!
He could single-handedly prevent the people of the Great Tang from suffering from hunger!
Who wouldn't care about the words of such a person?
Therefore, Wei Zheng was completely flustered. Even Second Emperor Li frowned deeply and was somewhat at a loss!
Only a few people knew that the Crown Prince was not good at his studies. He had even specially given a gag order to prevent it from spreading.
Logically speaking, Li Yun shouldn't have known!
Moreover, when he heard that the Crown Prince wanted to rebel, he could not believe it at all!
After a long time, Second Emperor Li slowly said,
"Where do you get this from?"
"Even the commoners know that the Crown Prince is knowledgeable and benevolent, and is deeply loved by His Majesty.”
"How is he similar to my good-for-nothing eldest son?”
"Also, His Majesty has publicly stated more than once that the next Emperor of the Great Tang will be Crown Prince Li Chengqian. What reason does he have to rebel?”
" Old Li," Li Yun said," let me ask you a question first.”
"Do you think your eldest son is stupid?”
"Although my son isn't outstanding, his intelligence is still better than ordinary people.”Li Er said.
"That is, since he is already smarter than ordinary people, why are you still dissatisfied with him?”Li Yun smiled.
"Because his progress in his studies is very slow.”Second Emperor Li frowned.
"Slow?" Li Yun said," But he loves to play and never works hard?”
"My son studies diligently every day and doesn't dare to relax at all.”His Majesty Li Er's frown deepened.
"In that case, it's very simple. It's not that your eldest son is not outstanding enough, but that you're giving him too much pressure!”
"Your expectations of him are too high, so high that it's beyond his ability!”
"In this way, your eldest son works hard every day, but he can't meet your requirements and is reprimanded by you.”
"If this continues, the depression in my heart will become deeper and deeper, and the progress of my learning will become slower and slower!”
"Like I said before, you're too eager for your son to become a dragon!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Second Emperor Li was completely stunned!
Because what he said was exactly the truth!
The Crown Prince's learning progress was getting slower and slower. It was only in the past year that it began to appear!
He originally thought that it was because the Crown Prince's talent had been exhausted.
Was it really as Li Yun said, that he had given the Crown Prince too much pressure?
At the thought of this, Second Emperor Li's eyebrows were almost twisted into a line!
"Li Yun, my young friend, could it be that you also deduced the matter of the Crown Prince in this way?”Wei Zheng asked.
"Of course, as the eldest son of the royal family, everyone kept telling him that he would inherit the throne in the future.”
"Li Er also has high expectations for him. He's afraid that his ability isn't enough and he won't be able to be a good emperor in the future.”
"According to Li Er's personality, if there was even the slightest deviation in Li Chengqian's homework, he would definitely reprimand him severely.”
"How can he not be under a lot of pressure?”
"At this time, the Crown Prince will constantly doubt himself, causing his academic progress to become slower and slower.”
"If this cycle continues, it's already good enough that he hasn't gone crazy.”
Li Yun said casually as he drank his tea.
Although Ran's tone was casual, every word he said made Second Emperor Li's heart tremble!
Wei Zheng was even more dumbfounded!
Just from the few words circulating in the streets, they were able to analyze the Emperor's thoughts and the Crown Prince's situation so thoroughly!
Was this kid really not a monster?
Although Wei Zheng gave off an upright and stubborn image, he was still a stubborn man.
But in terms of understanding the human mind, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui combined were probably inferior to him!
Why?
He had been fighting Li Er for decades. Not only was he alive, but he was also living very well!
Did he really think that he was just going to argue with the Emperor?
If he didn't have the art of speech and didn't know how to guess the Emperor's thoughts, he would have died countless times!
It could make the emperor angry and make his advice clear, but at the same time, it would not completely anger the emperor.
Only Wei Zheng could grasp this scale for thousands of years!
Therefore, Li Yun's analysis had an unprecedented impact on him!
Because he knew that he couldn't do it himself!!
"What did you mean when you said that the Crown Prince might rebel?”Second Emperor Li managed to gather his thoughts and continued to ask.
"It's not possible!" Li Yun shook his head and said," Definitely!”
"Li Chengqian's knowledge has stagnated. Li Er will definitely be more and more disappointed!”
"At this time, even if Li Er said a few more words to the other princes, it would make Li Chengqian feel that his throne was unstable!”
"Because he's not far from going crazy!”
"When he completely despairs, he will definitely rebel. This is only a matter of time.”
After he finished speaking, Second Emperor Li and Wei Zheng were already in a daze.
Then, Li Yun suddenly changed the topic and asked Old Li,
"By the way, did you tell Li Er that the immortal pill he gave last time was poisoned after you returned it?”
" Of course I did." Li Er nodded in confusion." Since I know it's poisonous, I definitely can't let His Majesty eat it again!"”
"Did Li Er believe it?" Li Yun asked again.
"His Majesty has already thrown away the pill." Li Er nodded.
"Since that's the case, then Li Chengqian will have to rebel even more!”Li Yun said.
"Why is that?" Second Emperor Li was even more confused.
"Think about it, Li Er is in his early thirties this year, and Li Chengqian is already in his teens.”
"Now that Li Er doesn't eat poison pills, with his physique, I estimate that he can live for another few decades.”
"He has been the Crown Prince for decades, yet he has been unable to inherit the throne. He is also under such great pressure.”Li Yun said casually.
"Of course, you don't have to worry. Even if he rebelled, he wouldn't be able to cause any waves.”
"At most, Li Er will chop off his head. It won't affect the Great Tang, much less our lives.”
After saying that, Li Yun continued to drink his tea.
The shock in Wei Zheng's and Li Er's hearts was beyond words!!
Especially Emperor Li Er, he repeated Li Yun's words countless times in his heart.
The reason why he valued Li Chengqian so much was that he had to make him the Crown Prince and let him succeed the Emperor.
It was mainly because of his own experience. He did not want his descendants to repeat the same mistake!
It was precisely because of this that he wanted to re-establish the system of the eldest son inheriting the throne for the sake of his Li family's eternal kingdom!
However, if things really developed as Li Yun predicted, then everything he had done would be in vain!
In the future, every change in power in the Great Tang would be a bloody storm!
Thinking of this, Second Emperor Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Perhaps he had indeed been negligent in making Li Chengqian the Crown Prince too early!
Glancing at Li Yun, who was calmly drinking tea, Second Emperor Li felt extremely fortunate!
If not for his guidance, the consequences would be unimaginable!
" If it weren't for your words, I would still be in the dark," Li Er said solemnly." I owe you a huge favor for this."”
"Why are you saying this? What kind of relationship do we have?”Li Yun waved his hand and said,
"Let your eldest son go south with us. We won't lecture him. It's not bad to relax.”
"Alright, then it's a deal!" Li Er nodded.
After this incident, Emperor Li Er and Wei Zheng were not in the mood to sit around.
Soon after, he got up and left.
......
On the carriage back to Chang 'an.
"Your Majesty, do you think Li Yun's speculation will really become a reality?”Wei Zheng could not help but say.
" Sigh," Second Emperor Li sighed." I've thought about it countless times. I'm afraid what he said was true.”
"Zhen has indeed given Chengqian too much pressure these few years.”
"When we return, I'll have a talk with Chengqian.”
"If he can learn a little from this trip to the south, I'll be satisfied!”
Wei Zheng once again transformed into Li Yunchui." Your Majesty, it is truly a great fortune for the Tang Empire to have the help of such a master!”
"It should be heavily rewarded!"
Li Er looked at him speechlessly and said," Then tell me, how should I reward you?”
" According to tradition." Wei Zheng suddenly stopped halfway.
"Why didn't you continue?" Li Er continued," You don't know either?”
"To tell you the truth, the Empress once made a small notebook for Zhen to record the achievements of that brat Li Yun.”
"But I only wrote it twice before throwing it away!”
"Why?" Wei Zheng was dumbfounded.
"Although young friend Li Yun is unwilling to enter the Imperial Court, perhaps it is because he is still young?”
"These achievements should be recorded and used to reward people.”
" I thought so too," Second Emperor Li rubbed his temples and said," but I realized that there was no way to reward him for his achievements!”
"It's indeed a little shocking." Wei Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Actually, zhen did not mistreat him. Didn't I promise my precious daughter to him?”Second Emperor Li said unhappily,
"The marriage of the older one has already been decided. I don't think the younger one can escape either!”
