Li Yuan stood there and spoke.
The boundless pressure was like an abyss, causing Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming to feel fear. They couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
"Your son understands."”
Li Yuan waved his hand gently, indicating for them to leave.
Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shiming slowly stood up and left, not even daring to look at Li Yuan.
It was only at this moment that they realized.
It wasn't that Li Yuan didn't care about the government or the right and wrong, but he was like a god looking down at the farce between the three brothers.
Especially Li Yuan's words.
What I give you is yours.
If I don't give it to you, you can't snatch it away.
For a moment, they were all trembling with fear, and they understood that none of them were qualified to be the Emperor of the Great Tang.
However, the position of the Crown Prince…
Li Yuan said that he would leave it vacant for the time being and choose another candidate. Clearly, it was still between the two of them.
Perhaps Li Yuanji also had a chance.
Li Shiming suddenly felt a sense of relief. He believed that if he were to compete with Li Jiancheng on equal footing, he would definitely not be inferior to Li Jiancheng in both political affairs and war.
The three of them left and walked to the palace gate.
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jian Cheng and said,"Big brother, I'm afraid that neither of us is right or wrong in front of my father."”
"Fortunately, Imperial Father is in control of the situation, so there is no real battle.”
"However, I won't hide anything. From now on, the position of Crown Prince will be based on one's own ability.”
Li Jiancheng smiled.
He looked at Li Shi Min and said confidently,"Shimin, I haven't heard you call me big brother for many years.”
"I've been in the Eastern Palace all these years, but I haven't made any achievements?”
"Since you weren't convinced before, then I'll have a fair and square fight with you for the position of Crown Prince.”
"However, both of us know Father's intentions. There is no need for a contract between brothers. If one becomes the Crown Prince, the other will be loyal to assist me.”
Li Jiancheng didn't think that he was much weaker than Li Shimin.
Otherwise, Li Yuan would not have made him the Crown Prince just because he was the eldest son.
Li Shi Min didn't have much resistance towards Li Jian Cheng's words.
He stretched out a hand and said," A gentleman's agreement. You and I are both the sons of my father. You and I are both citizens of the Tang Empire. Why not?"”
Pa--
Li Jiancheng also extended his palm and formed a contract with Li Shimin.
He then looked at Li Yuanji and said,"Yuanji, you've heard what Imperial Father said. If you become the Crown Prince, Big Brother won't have any grudges in his heart.”
"Come on, I also want to see who will be the final winner.”
Li Yuanji smiled and extended his hand to join them. He said,"Yuanji, I am willing to assist big brother and have no intention of fighting for power.”
Li Yuan stood on the city wall.
He looked at the three brothers below and smiled.
Li Shi Min's achievements in history could not be erased. Whether it was his achievements, his military exploits, or his rule of Zhenguan, they all made him extremely famous.
But was Li Jiancheng really that bad?
History was written by the victors.
Li Yuan naturally knew this, so he abolished Li Jiancheng's position as Crown Prince, but he did not make Li Shiming the Crown Prince. He just wanted to take a look.
Could Li Jiancheng give him a surprise?
The great country would last for many years, and he wanted to become an eternal emperor. A good Crown Prince to assist him was absolutely necessary. If Li Jiancheng had the ability to prove himself.
He wouldn't be stingy with giving Li Jiancheng a chance.
Moreover, the Great Tang's Nine Provinces were nothing in his eyes.
Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and called him the Ancestral Dragon!
Then he would unify the world while he was still alive, so that the banner of the Great Tang would be planted wherever the sun and moon shone. As long as the Tang existed, it was the land of the Great Tang.
That was the true ruler of the world, the supreme ruler!
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji left with the kneeling officials. Li Yuan could imagine that they would not be able to rest for the night.
The morning court tomorrow would probably be even livelier.
Guan Yu led the Dragon Cavalry into the Black Tortoise Gate, and the commotion came to an end!
The system's voice sounded.
Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission--suppressing the incident at Xuanwu Gate
The system reward will be doubled to help the host walk further on the path of the eternal emperor. Please receive it as soon as possible.
Li Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise.
The system's products were definitely of the best quality.
Two streams of light appeared in front of his eyes. Li Yuan pointed at them with his finger.
Light exploded.
It was like fireworks, but only he could see it.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete blueprint of the Tang Dragon Boat. Use the blueprint to build a big ship, ride the wind and waves, and conquer the sea.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Embroidered Uniform Guards Training Manual. You can train the Embroidered Uniform Guards and monitor the world accordingly.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Iron Forging Technique, which can improve the craftsmanship of the Tang Empire by a thousand years.
Li Yuan gently stroked his hand.
The things rewarded by the system were what he needed the most at the moment.
The Jinyiwei were mainly responsible for the guards and honor guards, the investigation department, and the external intelligence department. They were responsible for reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation. They only listened to his orders and had almost absolute power.
Compared to them, the Golden Guards were far inferior.
However, the Golden Guards had also chosen elites from the various armies. With this as a foundation, Li Yuan turned to the Imperial Attendant beside him and said,"Lin Cheng, from now on, you will be the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"Choose loyal soldiers from the Golden Guards and train them. As for the commander, I will think about it again.”
Lin Cheng nodded and said respectfully,""This servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace."
Li Yuan did not speak.
Lin Cheng left silently. He was Li Yuan's subordinate, and he knew better than anyone that the Golden Guards, who Li Yuan had trusted the most, had been planted with so many people.
Clearly, they had lost their trust.
Now was the time for him to settle down.
Then he was Li Yuan's trusted aide. He was glad that he didn't accept Li Shiming's bribe.
"The Great Tang's dragon boat is a weapon forging technique.”
"I don't need these things for the time being.”
"Right now, we need to deal with the Turks on the border. How can the Great Tang resist an army of two hundred thousand?”
Li Yuan stood on the city wall and muttered to himself.
The system's voice sounded again.
Congratulations to the host for triggering the main mission---Defend against the Turks and wash away the shame of the Wei River Alliance.
