The second choice was to let him sit back and watch, allowing history to develop naturally.
Just like history, Empress Zhangsun died of illness, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai began to fight for the throne.
He did not need to participate in the early stages. He just needed to develop properly.
From time to time, he could add fuel to the fire for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, using some means to sow discord and increase their contradictions and conflicts.
When the two of them were almost done, Li Chengqian could not help but rebel, then he could come out of the mountain!
If he were to participate in the fight for the throne as soon as he transmigrated, then he would have to face the joint suppression of Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
However, if he were to hide in the early stages and only develop his own faction in a stable manner, he would not participate in it.
When these two were all crippled, it would be equivalent to losing his two biggest competitors!
At that time, the person who would compete with him for the position of Crown Prince would be the fifteen-year-old Li Zhi.
At this time, he had already accumulated a huge force.
Compared to him, other than his identity as a legitimate son, Li Zhi's influence and strength were far inferior!
The probability of him becoming the crown prince was still very high!
"Although the second option seems good, there is a very important problem that has not been resolved. That is the problem of the difference between the direct and the direct descendants!”
"There are actually two ways to solve this problem!”
"First, the Empress's sons are all gone, so the right of inheritance naturally shifts to the sons who are not the Empress's sons!”
"Second, turn your mother into the empress. This way, you will become the prince born of the empress!”
At this moment, someone suggested that there was a huge problem in the second option that had not been solved.
That was the problem of the Di and Shu!
At the same time, this netizen also gave a solution.
Li Ke took a look at this solution and could not help but be slightly stunned.
What a simple and crude method!
But it made sense!
That's right. If the Empress's sons were all gone, then she couldn't possibly bring the throne to the Imperial Mausoleum, right?
You have to pass it on to one of your sons, right?
At this time, there was no need to differentiate between the empress and the imperial concubine. Whoever was the oldest would be passed on to who!
There is a distinction between the legitimate son and the concubine, and there is an order between the old and the young.
This was the rule of choosing an heir in ancient times.
If there were many legitimate sons, then the eldest son would be chosen as the heir.
If the eldest son was gone, then it would be postponed to the second son.
If the Di son was gone, then the Shu eldest son would be chosen. If the Shu eldest son was gone, then the Shu second son would be chosen.
Therefore, according to this rule, once Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi were all gone, then according to the rules, as the eldest among the illegitimate sons, he would be the first heir!
Also, if you are not the Empress 'son, then why don't you just turn your mother into the Empress?
Wouldn't that make you the Empress 'son?
These two situations were not unprecedented in history.
For example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many emperors who were not born by the empress!
Either the Empress did not have a son, or the Empress's son passed away halfway, and then the throne fell into their hands.
Another example was Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty. His biological mother was actually the side wife of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
He, Zhu Yunwen, was also Zhu Biao's bastard son!
Zhu Biao's Crown Princess was Chang Yuchun's daughter, and her son was the legitimate son.
Madam Chang had two sons. The eldest son, Zhu Xiongying, died when he was a few years old, but there was still the second son, Zhu Yunyu.
But why was it Zhu Yunwen, the son of a concubine, who was finally appointed as the emperor's grandson by Zhu Yuanzhang, and not Zhu Yunyu, the legitimate son?
It was because at this time, Zhu Yunwen's birth mother had already been made the Crown Princess by Zhu Biao.
In other words, Zhu Yunwen's birth mother was the Crown Princess and Zhu Yunwen was the Di son!
It was also because Zhu Yunwen's mother was supported by Zhu Biao that Zhu Yunwen became the legitimate son and was made the emperor's grandson by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Otherwise, the position of the imperial grandson would not be Zhu Yunwen's, but Zhu Yunxi's!
This example was enough to show that if Li Ke could make Concubine Yang Li Shimin's new Empress after Empress Zhangsun's death, then his identity would also change from a concubine's son to a legitimate son!
Although Concubine Yang had more than one son, he was the eldest son, so he had the right to inherit the inheritance!
"Li Chengqian and Li Tai are indeed gone, but Li Zhi still exists.”
"Unless I send someone to assassinate Li Zhi, but brothers killing each other is obviously Li Shiming's reverse scale.”
"Therefore, the best way is to send my birth mother, Concubine Yang, to the throne of the Empress. This way, compared to Li Zhi, my only disadvantage will be gone!”
"However, if you want Concubine Yang to sit on the throne of the Empress, I'm afraid there will be many people who oppose it."
Li Ke analyzed and considered the netizen's suggestion. He felt that the first method was still too risky!
How did Li Shi Min get to the top?
He had killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji during the coup of Xuanwu Sect, and then turned himself into the only legitimate son left. That was why he had ascended the throne.
Li Shi Min had experienced the killing of his brothers, so he would never allow his sons to do the same.
This was also the reason why Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both crippled.
If he did the same thing, Li Shiming would not let him off!
Then, there was only the second way, which was to help his birth mother become the empress.
However, this was also difficult.
Who was his birth mother?
Yang Guang's daughter!
The princess of the Sui Dynasty!
Not to mention whether Li Shiming was willing or not, the ministers probably wouldn't agree.
"It really is a hellish opening!"
Thinking of this, Li Ke could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
This difficulty really came one after another.
As he thought about it, he felt a little dizzy.
"Anyway, let's go according to the plan first. We'll decide what to do later!”
"If it really doesn't work, I can learn from Li Shiming and aim hundreds of cannons at the Great Ming Palace!!”
Li Ke was a little too excited. He wanted to directly pull a few hundred cannons and place them in front of the Great Ming Palace, aiming the muzzles at the Great Ming Palace!
A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands, but when I can't win with my mouth, I can only use my hands!
After all, there was a good saying.
Truth was only within the range of the cannon!
If the entire palace was within the range of his cannon, then his words were the truth!
