With his hands behind his back, Li Yuan paced back and forth in the courtyard anxiously.
Damn it, not long after I woke up, I lost my throne?
When he found out that the music outside was for the coronation ceremony, Li Jiancheng was stunned. He was the Crown Prince, and Li Chengdao was his son. If his son became the Emperor, would the father still be the Crown Prince?
What about seniority in the future?
Each discussing their own matters?
Suddenly, Li Jiancheng heard Li Er's faint voice.""Big brother, the son has become the father, and the father has become the son. How do you feel now?”
Li Jiancheng came back to his senses and glared at him."If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute.”
"Stop talking! Can't you see that I'm upset?" Li Yuan was frustrated. Hearing their sarcastic remarks, he said angrily,"Zhen thought Chengdao was fooling around, I didn't expect him to be serious.”
"How dare he rebel? He's only eight years old!”
"Father, age doesn't matter if you're ambitious…" Li Jiancheng said with a complicated tone.
"You still have the face to speak?"
Li Yuan was furious. He pointed at him and said,"Look at your son. He's much more promising than you!”
“？？？”Li Jiancheng was confused. Were you scolding him or praising him?
Li Yuan raised his head and looked in the direction of King Qin's Residence. He could not hide the worry in his eyes.
Chaos, it was all chaos!
Li Chengdao's actions had completely disrupted the balance he had maintained between the Eastern Palace and King Qin's Mansion for the past nine years.
It was obvious that all the officials had agreed to complete the coronation ceremony.
The people of the Eastern Palace agreed to Li Chengdao's ascension to the throne, and so did the people of King Qin's Residence. There was only one possibility.
Even the Eastern Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion wanted to take the chestnuts from the fire!
Both sides wanted to take advantage of this matter to achieve the goal of letting the Crown Prince or the King of Qin sit on the throne!
Li Yuan stomped his feet in anger." This is simply nonsense. How could my good grandson come up with such a bad plan!”
The worst plan? Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji looked at him speechlessly. No matter how they looked at it, it didn't seem like a bad idea to transform from the eldest grandson of the emperor to the emperor.
Soon, the three of them became serious.
Just by hearing the music of the coronation ceremony, they understood why Li Chengdao suddenly sat on the throne.
Li Er's face didn't reveal anything, but he was overjoyed. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were indeed my brains. They could actually see the hope of King Qin's Mansion obtaining the imperial power from this matter.
As long as he planned it well.
He had to get the throne!
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also delighted. Although they did not expect Chengdao to sit on the throne, this was an opportunity to destroy King Qin's residence!
It would depend on how his subordinates would grasp this opportunity.
Inside Prince Qin's Mansion, the three of them had their own ulterior motives. Li Yuan took in their expressions and sighed in his heart.
Even now, these three unfilial sons were still fighting, still thinking about fighting for the throne.
If it was in the past, perhaps they could still balance the relationship between them. But now, Li Chengdao's sudden move had disrupted the stable situation that he had created over the years.
Li Yuan didn't know that in three days, on the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude, an incident would happen in Xuanwu Sect.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had died, and he had been forced to abdicate, living the rest of his life in regret.
Li Chengdao's methods had eliminated this possibility.
Li Yuan could roughly guess that Li Chengdao did this to completely end the long-lasting battle between the Eastern Palace and King Qin's Residence. However, as the Emperor, Li Yuan could not agree with his actions.
He was only eight years old. How could he be a match for those old foxes in the imperial court!
On the surface, it looked like his good grandson had become the emperor, but in reality, he was being used by the Eastern Palace and King Qin's Mansion.
He became a weapon.
A weapon that could kill the Crown Prince, King Qi, or even King Qin!
No matter who died, Li Chengdao would end up as a scapegoat and be recorded in the annals of history as a curse for future generations!
My good grandson, do you know what you're doing…Li Yuan looked worried as he sat on the stone bench dejectedly. He couldn't help at all.
Kacha--
At this moment, the door of King Qin's Mansion opened a crack.
Yu Huatian's feminine voice came through the crack in the door."Your Majesty, and the three majesties, it's noon. What would you like to eat?”
Li Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at him and said angrily,""Do you think I'm in the mood to eat? I'm so angry that I'm full!"
Bang! Yu Huatian immediately shut the door of the manor and used the chain to lock the door again.
“？？？”Li Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the mansion door that was locked again. He turned to look at Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji and said excitedly,""What kind of guard is he? Doesn't he know that zhen said those words out of anger?”
"..." Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji were speechless. They didn't know if they were saying this out of anger, but they had no lunch today!

After the coronation ceremony, Li Chengdao, who had become the little emperor of the Great Tang, waved his hand and dismissed all the officials.
After the officials left Taiji Palace, they returned to their respective government offices and began to deal with government affairs. However, at this moment, no one could focus on dealing with government affairs.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji hadn't changed their robes and were hiding in a hidden corner of the Imperial City.
"This is a great opportunity." Fang Xuanling looked at the two of them with a solemn expression.
"Wuji, immediately send someone to Jinzhou to inform Hejian Prince Li Xiaogong. Tell him everything about the palace. He will know what to do!”
"Understood!" Zhangsun Wuji said in a deep voice.”
Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui." Keming, I'll leave it to you to let Chang 'an and the other counties know about the change in the Tang Empire."”
Du Ruhui nodded heavily and said in a deep voice,"Don't worry, Xuanling."
Fang Xuanling grunted and smiled." Whether or not the King can seize the throne depends on us. The Eastern Palace will definitely make a move, so we have to hurry."”
In the Eastern Palace, after Li Gang and Dou Gui returned, they called Wei Zheng over at the same time. After informing him of the matter, Wei Zheng's expression lit up." This is a great opportunity for the Crown Prince!”
Li Gang stroked his white beard and laughed."Right now, the eldest grandson of the emperor is probably still happy to sit on the throne. It's good to be young.”
Dou Gui, who was dressed in a military official's robe, laughed a few times. He then retracted his smile and said in a deep voice,"What should we do now? When I came back, I saw Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji from Prince Qin's Mansion plotting something. Time waits for no man.”
"We have to do what we have to do before they do.”Li Gang nodded slightly and looked at Wei Zheng."Wei Zheng, go to Youzhou and find Li Yuan, the Prince of Lujiang Prefecture. Make sure he brings troops to Chang 'an!”
Wei Zheng immediately understood what he meant. He bowed solemnly and said,"I'll go now!"
Li Gang looked at Dou Gui and narrowed his eyes."Dou Gui, the little emperor has ascended the throne. This is such a joyous occasion. We must let all the provinces and counties in the world know about this, understand?”
Dou Gui smiled and cupped his fists.
After the court session, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, and Xiao Yu gathered at the Shangshu Provincial Government Office.
"The Eastern Palace and King Qin's Mansion must have already begun planning. This matter concerns the Great Tang, and we can't just watch.”
Pei Ji sat behind the desk and picked up a pen and paper to write while saying in a deep voice,""Immediately send someone to Yangzhou and Longzhou with this old man's letter!”
" Li Shentong, Prince of Huai 'an in Longzhou, and Li Shenfu, Prince of Xiangyi in Yangzhou, are His Majesty's trusted aides. They will certainly lead their troops here when they know what happened in Chang' an.”
" As long as they reach Chang 'an, they will be able to stabilize the situation. When His Majesty returns to the palace, the current chaos will be quelled!”

In the Yin and Yang Palace of Taiji Palace, Li Chengdao wore a crown on his head and a fitting dragon robe. He sat cross-legged behind a table and looked at Wang Yu with admiration. He said in a tender voice,
"Wang Yu, you handled the matter of the coronation well.”
"Your Highness…ah, no, Your Majesty, you're still in the mood to be happy?"”
Li Chengdao raised his arm and showed off the dragon robe on his body. He blinked and said,"Why aren't you happy that you've become the emperor?”
"But you were used by the Eastern Palace and the people of Prince Qin's Mansion.”
"In the next few days, a storm is coming. This servant is worried to death."”
"We still don't know who's using who." Li Chengdao smiled meaningfully.”
Hmm? What did that mean? Wang Yu was stunned for a moment. Then, he watched as Li Chengdao took a walnut out of nowhere and placed it on the table. He held Li Yuan's commonly used Royal Seal in his small hand and smashed it on the walnut.
"..." Wang Yu was dumbstruck as he watched Li Chengdao eat the walnut with relish. He felt a wave of sorrow in his heart. It's over. The little Emperor had just become the Emperor, and he's already starting to cause trouble. He's using a Royal Seal to smash walnuts!

That night.
Longzhou, Huai 'an County Prince's Mansion.
"What, cousin lost the throne? How did he lose it?"
The 49-year-old Li Shentong, who was about to rest, heard the news from the fast horse. His expression changed drastically. After reading the letter written by Pei Ji, he couldn't help but gasp."The eldest grandson rebelled? What a joke, he was only eight years old!”
With that, Li Shentong put away the letter with a solemn expression and ran to the courtyard to shout,
" Men, gather my men. Damn it, Chang 'an City is going to be in chaos!"”
Yangzhou General Manager's Office.
The Prince of Xiangyi, Li Shenfu, lowered his head and stared blankly at the letter sent by Pei Ji. He stroked his forty-seven-year-old beard and muttered to himself,
"Cousin, what's going on? Why was the throne snatched away? And it was stolen by an eight-year-old child. If word got out, wouldn't it be embarrassing?”
The deputy general of the Xiangyi Prince's Mansion, who was standing at the side, said solemnly,""Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"To Chang 'an Fortress!"
Li Shenfu stood up and walked into the room to put on his armor. He said in a deep voice,
"For the past nine years, cousin has been balancing the power of the Eastern Palace and King Qin's Mansion. Now, with that brat Li Chengdao's actions, everything is in chaos!”
" The whole Chang 'an is in a mess. I don't know what will happen next. I have to invite cousin out. Only he can stabilize the situation now!"”
"Get ready!"
"Yes!" The deputy general cupped his fists and said.
Li Shenfu put on his armor and sword and walked into the courtyard. He looked at the sky and sighed. Cousin, how did you become an emperor? You were schemed against by a child. Is Li Chengdao that powerful?
