Chapter 17
Regardless of whether it was a trap or not.
Li Xuan did not plan to go.
Although he was being chased away by the Tang Emperor, it seemed that he was about to start fighting for the position of Crown Prince.
But in reality, he didn't like things like scheming and fighting for power.
It wasn't that he didn't have this ability.
Just because…
Li Xuan was not interested!
It was better to go back to sleep than to scheme against Li Gang and Li Yu.
Anyway, as long as he had absolute strength, he could completely ignore these scheming problems.
He made a decision in his heart.
Li Xuan directly told Chang Ping,
"Tell them that I've been very busy and tired recently. Forget about attending the banquet. When I have time next time, I'll invite them to the banquet!”
Chang Ping, who was outside the carriage, replied,"
"Here!"
Not long after, the carriage started moving again.
They headed in the direction of the palace!
……
King Qi's mansion.
Li Gang and Li Yu gathered together again.
In front of the two of them was a table full of good wine and dishes. It could be said to be quite sumptuous.
"I didn't expect Seventh Brother to be so skilled. His subordinates are really efficient!”
As he sipped on his wine, his gaze was solemn.
"We've all underestimated him!"
Li Gang, who was also drinking, was the same.
However, Li Gang didn't show any joy on his face, so he didn't show much emotion.
He only opened his mouth and said,
"I have indeed underestimated Seventh Brother! However, even if he had taken over all of Old Eleven's men, he did not interfere much in the matters of the imperial court. He did not have much prestige, so there was nothing to fear!”
That was what he said.
However, only Li Gang knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, Li Gang's eunuch came over.
"Wangye, the Seventh Prince has replied that he has been too busy recently. He is too tired and will not come to the banquet. When there is a chance, he will invite the two Wangye back!”
Bang!
As soon as Li Gang's eunuch finished speaking, Li Yu slammed his palm heavily on the white marble table, leaving a deep handprint on it, but it did not affect the stone table at all.
He didn't even touch the dishes and wine. It was enough to show that Li Yu's martial arts cultivation was already quite terrifying.
"Impudent!"
The anger in his eyes swelled, and Li Yu's domineering aura leaked out.
"If this king wants him to come, he has to come! How dare you?"
Li Gang was also stunned.
He picked up the wine cup in his hand and put it down. In an instant, his expression changed. Even his shrewdness could not control his emotions.
In fact, Li Gang rarely showed any joy.
But this time, he really couldn't help it.
He could not help but say coldly,
"Looks like Old Seventh is really going to fall out with us! This was very good…This was extremely good!”
Li Gang and Li Yu looked at each other.
They saw a cold light in each other's eyes.
The banquet ended in a hurry.
If Li Xuan did not come, Li Gang and Li Yu would naturally leave.
Their alliance was not that strong.
……
The next morning.
After receiving the name list of the Sword Pavilion that Xu Ji had sent to the palace, Li Xuan only glanced at it.
Then, he added two names on it.
Li Xuan and Li Qingyu.
After adding it, Li Xuan directly handed the list to Chang Ping beside him.
"Go, send this letter to Taiji Palace and give it to Imperial Father! When you come back, ask the Eldest Princess to come here and say that I have something to discuss with her!”
He took the name list.
Chang Ping said respectfully,"
"Here!"
Then, he left with the name list.
After Chang Ping left, Li Xuan's gaze carried a hint of a smile.
"If I didn't go to the banquet last night, Li Gang and Li Yu would have been furious. I don't know what kind of tricks they're going to play…Only by letting Li Qing Yu deal with them can I be safe!”
It was impossible for him to become an emperor.
It didn't matter if they fought for the position of Crown Prince.
However, Li Gang, Li Yu, and the other princes were looking for trouble. Although he wasn't afraid, it was very disgusting. He still needed to pay attention to them.
The best way was to find an opponent for them.
Among the people Li Xuan knew, other than Li Qingyu, who else was a match for the princes?
In any case, Li Qingyu had lofty aspirations.
If she could break the rule that women in the royal family could not inherit the throne, she would definitely be a peerless empress!
The current situation…
No matter which of his brothers ascended the throne in the future, his carefree days would probably not be too good.
Therefore, instead of letting his half-brothers take over the throne.
He might as well break the convention and support his own sister to ascend the throne.
"It's not appropriate to tell Li Qingyu about these things now!”
His gaze focused. In Li Xuan's heart, the plan had already been decided.
"It's not too late to talk about it later. Let her help me deal with the biting of the princes first!”
About an hour later.
Li Qingyu came over in a tight outfit.
He casually sat beside Li Xuan and said,
"Xiao Xuan, you asked me to come over. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
Looking at Li Qingyu's appearance.
Li Xuan did not hide anything. He directly told him everything he had done recently, especially the matter of him rejecting Li Gang and Li Yu's invitation to the banquet last night.
Other than the invitation to the banquet last night, everything else was no secret.
It could be said that the harem had investigated the news of the princes very clearly.
After all, the imperial concubines in the harem-
You need to rely on your son!
"And then? What do you want me to do?"
After hearing Li Xuan's words, Li Qingyu said,
"There's also a spot for the Sword Pavilion. Thank you, Little Xuan.”
He waved his hand.
Motioning Li Qingyu not to care about such a small matter, Li Xuan said,
"I want Royal Sister to help me deal with the group of princes. To be honest, although it's not that I can't deal with them, I'm not interested in playing house with them. I hope Royal Sister can help me. Anyway, the group of princes are so useless.”
He raised his eyebrows.
Li Qingyu did not say anything and only listened to Li Xuan's words quietly.
She knew that her brother was very talented, but he was not interested in these things.
"I know that Royal Sister has lofty aspirations in her heart. Why don't we take this opportunity to display our talents?”
Looking at Li Qingyu, Li Xuan smiled and said,
"Just treat it as Royal Sister going to play!”
He was tempted.
To be honest, Li Qingyu's heart was moved.
She was indeed very ambitious, but it was difficult for a woman to interfere in the court, and no high officials would support her. If she borrowed Li Xuan's hand, there would be no problem.
"Good! However, Little Xuan, you have to give me your token!”
Li Qingyu nodded casually and said with a smile,
"I'll help you sit on the throne of Crown Prince!"
He shook his head.
He casually handed his identity token to Li Qingyu.
Li Xuan smiled and said,
"Don't be anxious for now. Although the princes, including Li Gang and Li Yu, are all good-for-nothings, I really don't want to be the crown prince. I'm not interested in the position of the emperor! This time, it was all because of his father's urging. There was nothing he could do!”
He glanced at Li Xuan.
Li Qingyu smiled but did not say anything. She believed Li Xuan's words.
After all, the two of them had grown up together. She knew Li Xuan's personality very well.
"Li Gang and Li Yu are the most promising candidates for the Crown Prince position. One is wise and the other is domineering. How are they trash?”
With a face full of anticipation, Li Qingyu said,
"Xiao Xuan, don't look down on them!”
Li Xuan did not agree with Li Qingyu's words.
"A mere grain of sand can't compare to me!”
He only sneered,"
"If these two people are really smart, they won't not give me any help. Instead, they should do everything well and let me put on a name. Only then can they show the Crown Prince's heart and his own ability!”
And the result?
Not only did these two people not help, they even tried to stop him.
If not for the strong support of Xu Ji and the others 'fathers, there might have been some trouble in this Sword Pavilion Competition.
Li Xuan did not pay attention to these things, but it did not mean that he did not know.
This was also the main reason why he directly rejected Li Gang and Li Yu's invitation last night.
Damn the neighbor, two good-for-nothings trying to trip him up, it was really disgusting!
One had to know that during this period of time, Li Xuan had not gone out to play properly. It was because of Li Gang and Li Yu, the two bastards, who had arranged for the people under them to constantly cause trouble, which made him angry.
"Royal Sister, after we come out of the Sword Pavilion, help me vent my anger on Li Gang and Li Yu!”
Sitting beside Li Qingyu, Li Xuan smiled and said,
"I believe you can do it!"
Li Qingyu nodded.
She thought so too!
She could not bear to bully Li Xuan, so how could she let others bully him?
However, at this moment, Li Qingyu was more focused on interfering with the matters of the royal court.
The Great Tang had a relatively relaxed management of the Imperial Court.
It was not like in his previous life where the emperor had to constantly concentrate power.
Because the Tang Emperor was powerful enough.
Strength was the foundation of his confidence. He could give out his power and take it back at any time.
It could be said that almost all the officials of the Tang Dynasty were siding with the prince.
This was what the Tang Emperor wanted to see.
……
Taiji Palace.
In the royal study, the Tang Emperor looked at the list of names in his hand."
"Not bad!"
The Tang Emperor had seen everything that had happened recently.
Of course, the Tang Emperor was only concerned about Li Xuan's actions.
Obviously-
He was satisfied.
As for what Li Gang and Li Yu had done, the Tang Emperor did not care. He had already figured out what his child looked like. As for the rumors about his virtue and his excellence, he did not care.
That's not believable!
"I will personally send this name list to Elder Jian!”
Hearing the Tang Emperor's words.
Cao Zhong replied,"
"Here!"
Then, he quickly went to make arrangements for his trip.
