After Li Shimin returned to the harem, he went directly to the bedroom of the eldest grandson. At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian was not alone in the palace. Li Zhi is also by the side of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Hearing Li Shimin's personal eunuch, he shouted that the emperor had arrived. The eldest grandson, Wuji, hurriedly came out with plums. After paying tribute to Li Shimin, he returned to the palace with Li Shimin.

"Li Zhi, what are you doing here again to your mother. It's so big, can't you still live without your mother? Li Shimin asked Li Zhi with a smile.

"Father, the sons and daughters came here to wait for their father. Because the son has something to do, I hope that the father can help the son to make the decision. Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"It turns out that there is something to find me, so let's tell me if there is anything." Hearing Li Zhi say that he had something to find himself, Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Father, the son wants to marry the emperor's brother's wife, Wu Ze, as a concubine. I also hope that my father will give a decree to give marriage. Li Zhi said to Li Shimin without concealment.

"It turned out to be this matter, but I'm afraid I won't be able to be the master at this time. I'm afraid that this matter requires the nod of your imperial brother, after all, you are married to someone else's wife. Li Shimin said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"Erchen has already told the imperial brother. Brother Huang said, as long as Sister Wu Ze and I agree. He would not object to this matter, so the retainers came to ask the father and the queen mother what they meant. ”

"As long as the father and the queen mother think that this matter is feasible, then ask the father and the emperor to give a decree to the marriage." Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"In that case, I will prepare a dowry for you. Tomorrow, find a highly respected minister to go to Youzhou for you to propose. Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Thank you, Father." Hearing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Zhina said to Li Shimin with great joy. Then he left happily.

Looking at the back of Li Zhi leaving, a smile appeared on the face of the eldest grandson. So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, what kind of generous gift do you think should be prepared to be more appropriate?" ”

"If it's for someone else, I have to think about it carefully, so as not to take out something and lose my royal face."

"But Li Tai, this kid is much easier, he is born to regard wealth as his life, as long as he is given some gold and silver, it is enough." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"I don't think you're thinking about what to hire. Instead, he wanted Li Tai to prepare a dowry for his sister-in-law. I don't understand, can't you father and son not calculate each other? The eldest grandson said with a sigh.

"I don't want to calculate him, but this kid doesn't think about how to calculate me all the time. Let's just say that this time, in order not to be the prince, he came directly and left. ”

"You say that such an unfilial son, can I, as a father, not hate? Now I can't wait to get him over and beat him with a hundred boards. Let him know what family law is. The more Li Shimin talked, the more angry he became.

"I don't bother to care about the affairs between your father and son. It's better for you to do it yourself, in short, you can marry my daughter-in-law back. The eldest grandson said to Li Shimin with a smile.

……

Early the next morning, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and said: "Now that the King of Jin has reached the time to choose a concubine, I think Wu Ze, the youngest daughter of Wu Shitong, is a very good candidate. ”

"So I was about to make a decree to give marriage, but I needed someone to go to Youzhou and give a dowry to Li Tai, the king of Yan. I don't know all Aiqing, who would like to take a trip to Youzhou for me? ”

If it were anything else, Cheng Yanjin would definitely be the first to jump out. He wished that something was fine, so he ran to Li Tai's.

But this dowry errand, Cheng Yanjin will not open his mouth to pick it up. He knows Li Tai and his son very well. Li Tai is a money fan, and Li Shimin is an iron rooster.

The father and son bumped into each other, and this errand was definitely not so easy to do. So Cheng Yanjin hurriedly lowered his head and didn't even look at Li Shimin. for fear of being pointed on his head by Li Shimin.

Even Cheng Yanjin was reluctant to come forward, and others were naturally even more reluctant to take this errand. So one by one, they looked at their noses, noses and mouths, and their mouths cared, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Li Shimin saw that no one spoke, so he could only say helplessly: "Since no one of you has exposed your bravery, then I can only name them." ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone was worried. I'm afraid that this drudgery will fall on my head. And at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up.

The eldest grandson Wuji saluted Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, since no one is willing to take this errand. The minister, Sun Wuji, is willing to go to Youzhou for a trip. ”

"Since Zhao Guogong is willing to take my place, he will go to Youzhou in person. Then I will hand over this errand to Zhao Guogong. After Li Shimin nodded, he said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Just after the eldest grandson Wuji received the holy decree and returned to his original place. Wei Zheng went out and said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and it cannot be without a prince. He also asked the emperor to select the candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin nodded and said, "What Wei Xiang said is good, but I don't know what Wei Xiang thinks, who is suitable for the position of prince?" ”

"Enlightening the emperor and becoming the crown prince is a major event of the country. The minister did not dare to say that this matter still needs to be decided by the emperor himself. Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin.

Although Wei Zheng was straightforward and quick-hearted, he had something to say in front of Li Shimin. I never thought of saving face for Li Shimin. But this does not mean that Wei Zheng is a fool, he will definitely not nominate a candidate for the crown prince.

Because of this, it is easy for Li Shimin to suspect that he has a different relationship with the candidate he has selected. This is not a good thing for either the people you recommend or for yourself.

"I think the most suitable candidate is none other than Li Tai, the king of Yan. It's a pity that this kid is hard-hearted and doesn't accept the position of this prince. Therefore, it is really difficult for me to decide who is more suitable to live in the East Palace among the princes. Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, among the three sons-in-law of the emperor now, the former prince Li Chengqian has been demoted to a concubine. Li Tai, the king of Yan, refused to accept the position of the crown prince, so only Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was left. Eldest Sun Wuji said.

For a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji has never participated in the matter of Li Shimin's son taking the heir. Although the eldest grandson Wuji was a little inclined to Li Tai in the later period, he never stood in line publicly.

And today, he took the initiative to open his mouth and suggested to Li Shimin that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, succeed to the crown prince. This is a bit of a surprise.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji's nomination of the crown prince candidate is very different from Wei Zheng and others. After all, he is Li Zhi's uncle. It is understandable that the uncle wants his nephew to be the prince.

However, the proposal of the eldest grandson Wuji is indeed very reasonable. After all, Li Zhi is Li Shimin's sister-in-law, although he is not the eldest son, but now he is also the only one who is most suitable to succeed the crown prince.

"Although Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is my son-in-law, Li Ke, the king of Shu, is also a good candidate. So now there are three candidates, that is, Li Tai, the king of Yan, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Ke, the king of Shu. Li Shimin said.
