When Li Shimin returned to his bedroom in the carriage, Zhangsun Wuji was with him.
However, Zhangsun Wuji had drunk some white wine and had fallen asleep. He was carried into his bedroom by the imperial guards.
On the study table in the bedroom.
Li Shimin wrote down the words " power, army, and money ". These three were the things that Yap Liangchen needed the most.
Yap Liangchen didn't have the authority, but Li Shimin did.
The army was the power of the army. If a Crown Prince didn't have his own confidants in the army, his position would definitely be unstable.
Back then, when Li Shimin was the King of Qin, he relied on this military power to have a group of valiant generals and death warriors. In the end, he completely defeated Li Jiancheng.
Xuanwu Sect's successful ascension to the throne showed the importance of military power to the king.
As for money, Li Shi Min had originally wanted to set up a Salt Administration Department to help that kid earn profits, but he was scolded by the other party.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment before writing down the names of Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Junxian, Hou Junji, and Li Xiaogong. These people all had immense influence in the army.
"Li Jing's daughter, Li Ruobing. This girl has a cold personality. She likes to create an army of women. She likes to mess around too much.”
"Cheng Yaojin's daughter, Cheng Xiaomei. This girl has a gentle temperament, but her appearance is not good!”
"Hou Junji's daughter is too close to Chengqian!”
"Daughter of Yuchi Jingde."
Yes, it was the marriage that gave Ye Liangchen more leverage.
Li Shi Min had a headache. He wanted to be in-laws with Li Jing the most because Li Jing had the most influence in the military and his two sons were average.
Li Jing was a general and a prime minister. He was both civil and martial. He would definitely help his son-in-law.
But that Li Ruobing
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji finally sobered up from his drunken stupor. Seeing that he was in the Emperor's bedroom, he quickly stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Wuji, I called you here for a matter.”
Li Shi Min said lightly.
"What do you think if I choose another heir?”
Li Shi Min said nonchalantly, but it sounded like thunder in someone's ears.
A string of symbols appeared in Zhangsun Wuji's mind.？？？？？？？？？？
？？？
？？
？
Was His Majesty's brain fried?
Or did Li Tai use some kind of bewitching drug?
"The Crown Prince is just mischievous and cannot be deposed.”
Zhangsun Wuji fell to the ground with a thud and shouted hoarsely.
He was the core figure of the princeling party. He had spent a lot of money on the Eastern Palace. Many of the officials were bought over by him. Was this money going to go down the drain?
Li Shiming took a deep breath. He didn't expect Zhangsun Wuji to have such a strong reaction. If he said this in Taiji Palace, wouldn't the imperial court explode?
The Crown Prince was innocent, so it was indeed impossible to directly depose him.
Li Chengqian is not my son, Yap Liangchen is my son, but I'm afraid the court will be in chaos.
He still needed to take his time!
"I was just casually mentioning it. Wuji, hurry up and get up. The ground is cold.”
Li Shi Min stepped forward and pulled him up.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, this Crown Prince cannot be deposed unless he dies or commits the crime of rebellion.”Zhangsun Wuji said firmly,
"Your Majesty, when you ascended the throne, you told me that you didn't want the Great Tang to have any more incidents of Black Tortoise Sect killing each other.”
"This system of the eldest son's succession must be carried out, or the Great Tang will destroy its own Great Wall.”
Zhangsun Wuji naturally didn't want Li Tai to be the Crown Prince, so he tried his best to stop him.
He didn't expect that Li Shiming's target wasn't Li Tai, but Yap Liangchen.
The matter of another heir was something that could only be decided after Yap Liangchen had grown up.
Zhangsun Wuji finally heaved a sigh of relief. Oh my god, Li Chengqian was almost crippled.
Li Shimin recalled that outside the Great Tang's borders, there were still Tubo, Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, and other powerful enemies eyeing them.
The Imperial Court couldn't afford to have civil strife because of the matter of the Crown Prince.
After Zhangsun Wuji left the emperor's sleeping chamber.
On the way back to the residence, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The Emperor having such thoughts meant that Crown Prince Li Chengqian's position had already begun to waver.
Smart people would not put all their eggs in one basket.
Zhangsun Wuji was a smart person. After returning to the Zhangsun Manor, he immediately held a banquet and invited the King of Wei, Li Tai.
The servant of the Prince of Wei's Mansion handed over the invitation. Li Tai, who was lying on the couch, looked at the invitation and laughed loudly.
"Uncle, you've finally abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.”
The scholars and trusted aides around Li Tai were excited and shouted in their hearts.
Lord Zhangsun must be expressing goodwill at this banquet.
Lord Zhangsun must have heard some news and got close to the King of Wei.
The scholars and trusted aides of the Prince of Wei's residence all guessed that the Emperor must have had the idea of making the Prince of Wei the heir apparent, which led to Lord Zhangsun's abandonment of the dark for the light.
Heavens, they were a group of petty officials. They were really going to become the subjects of the dragon.
"Reward! Everyone had to pay a sum of money to buy some clothes and books.”
Li Tai got up and had the maid change into a gold-lined python robe, preparing to attend the banquet.
"Thank you, King Wei!"
The scholar's trusted aide respectfully sent the King of Wei away, his expression very respectful.
In the Zhangsun Manor.
After a round of toasting, the song and dance reached their climax.
Zhangsun Wuji and Li Tai's faces were slightly red.
"Green Sparrow, what does His Majesty admire about you? Why is he so good to you?”
Hearing this, Li Tai laughed even more foolishly.
He whispered,"
"Imperial Father, you like my filial piety. This is something that Imperial Brother cannot learn, so Imperial Father likes me very much.”
"Filial? What do you usually do?" Zhangsun Wuji said.
Li Tai generously shared his experience."Imperial Father loves it when I wash his feet.”
Zhangsun Wuji:
If he washed his feet, the position of Crown Prince would be in his hands?
Oh my god, then I've learned the emperor's mind for nothing!!!
Zhangsun Wuji was dumbfounded. His three views were completely destroyed, and his heart was bleeding. He said in disbelief,
"Is washing feet that simple?"
Li Tai's way of governing the country was not as good as Zhangsun Wuji's, but he was very good at washing feet. He said enigmatically,
"Uncle, if you want something, if Imperial Father doesn't agree, then you can go to the Imperial Palace.”
"Just help Imperial Father wash his feet. If one time doesn't work, then wash it ten times. If ten times doesn't work, then wash it a hundred times.”
If this short and fat paper can get the position of Crown Prince by washing His Majesty's feet, then can I, the grand Prime Minister, get it by washing His Majesty's feet?
Bah!
This was an evil path.
Zhangsun Wuji felt that it wasn't that simple.
Strange.
Why did His Majesty suddenly want to appoint another heir after returning from Yap Liangchen?
