In fact, the eldest grandson thought about it, these princes are all human spirits, they may not understand, they just don't dare.

If people have a prayer in their hearts, they must want to show their best side, and these princes want the emperor to recognize their talents, so they are naturally unwilling to be coquettish with Li Shimin and the eldest grandson like a child.

But what Li Shimin and the eldest grandson lack is this.

Li Chengqian couldn't hold back the most, and immediately spoke: "Father, you suddenly announced a banquet today, and let the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty come to participate, and announced that you will re-elect the crown prince, I don't know where your sons can work effectively. ”

This thing is obviously tempting, because his heart is too eager to even know how to hide it, and the expectation in his eyes can be seen by a fool.

Li Shimin was noncommittal, suddenly smiled slightly, and asked him: "Who does Cheng Qian think I should choose?" ”

This question was a bit outrageous, and all the princes were stunned on their faces.

Li Chengqian was very entangled in his heart, he wanted to answer and choose himself, but he felt that it was too explicit to say this, if he was asked to answer to choose someone else, he would not open his mouth if he killed this thing.

"Erchen, Erchen......"

Li Chengqian's period Ai Ai couldn't spit out a complete sentence for a long time, although he couldn't say the answer, but everyone looked at his face and already knew what this thing wanted to say.

"Say whatever comes to mind, son of a royal family, don't you even have the courage to speak?"

Li Shimin suddenly blurted out a reprimand, hating iron and steel: "A good man should be ambitious, you even cringe and dare not say what you desire the most, let me help you, how can your mother help you?" ”

As soon as the emperor said this, all the princes were suddenly shocked again, Li Chengqian's face showed ecstasy, but Li Tai's face was gloomy and dripping water.

"Father, ......" Li Chengqian's words trembled, his voice was almost trembling, and he said, "Erchen hopes to choose me." ”

"Why?" Li Shimin's tone returned to the same as before, he looked at this son with a calm face, and said lightly: "The prince of a country is not trivial, you said that I should choose you, but there is a reason to persuade me?" ”

"Erchen, Erchen......" Li Chengqian stammered, and it took a long time for a flash of inspiration to say loudly: "Erchen has been a prince for ten years, I have been trained by the royal family since I was a child, and my father has also taught me the way of the emperor!" ”

He glanced at Li Shimin, and said hurriedly: "Erchen also served as the prince of the prison country, when your father and emperor were paraded outside the border, Erchen sat in the imperial capital of Chang'an, although it is not said that the Tang Dynasty governance is smooth, but there is no mistake in the affairs of the country. ”

People are anxious to become wise, and Li Chengqian's remarks do have a certain truth. Now that the Tang Dynasty has established a stable country, the second generation of emperors needed does not seek merit, as long as they can keep their ancestors' family business, Li Chengqian deliberately said that his old merits are precisely what he does not do.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Cheng Qian's words are very reasonable......

The emperor pretended to groan, turned his head to the eldest grandson and said, "Guanyin, what is your opinion?" Cheng Qian is also your child, and you are also qualified to make decisions about the prince. ”

Li Chengqian suddenly looked at his eldest grandson pitifully, and said sadly: "Queen Mother, the child was ignorant before, and he will be benevolent, filial and obedient in the future, and he will never dare to let go of the ......again."

The eldest grandson sighed faintly, and said softly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has an idea, the concubine is just a woman's family, as long as my child can live this life with peace of mind, the concubine will not ask for anything else." ”

Li Shimin nodded again, and pretended to mutter: "Since Guanyin has no opinion, and what Cheng Qian said is very reasonable, then I will choose ......."

Before the emperor finished saying the word 'election', Li Tai couldn't hold it anymore, and said hurriedly: "Father, the son has something to say!" ”

He interrupted this time, which was exactly what Li Shimin wanted, and the emperor immediately smiled, and said with deep meaning: "I forgot that Qingque is also a dragon and phoenix among people, I should listen to your opinion." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes were almost spewing fire, and he looked at Li Tai angrily, if it wasn't for the emperor and the eldest grandson, he really wanted to kill this fat boy with a sword.

It's just a little bit, just now my father was about to announce it, but he was interrupted by this kid, and I don't know what kind of turmoil will be born again.

The emperor didn't care how annoyed Li Chengqian was, he just looked at Li Tai and asked with a smile: "Qingque, tell me your opinion, who should the prince of this country choose?" Could it be that you have a reason to convince me that I can choose you instead? ”

Li Tai shouted anxiously just now, and he had already recovered his emotions at this moment, and he had a smile like a child on his round little fat face, and said sweetly: "Father, in fact, it is the right of you and the queen mother to choose whom, and the sons should not interject, but since ancient times, the saints have clouds, and they do not avoid relatives and enemies externally, and the child feels that Brother Chengqian is not capable of being the prince, this Tang Dynasty is built by your father, you Rongma, have worked hard all your life, and you can't hand it over to the ruined son......"

Li Chengqian was furious, seeing that the other party kept pouring dirty water on himself, he couldn't bear it anymore at the moment, and shouted: "Qingque, you stop me!" ”

Li Shimin smiled, waved his hand and said: "Cheng Qian, don't scorch the fire, and let Qingque continue to say, whether it is good or bad, I and your mother have a scale in their hearts, and today should have given everyone a chance." ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai with hatred, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, for fear that the emperor and the eldest grandson would see the hatred on his face.

In fact, the hatred on his face was so obvious, how could he not see what kind of characters Li Shimin and the eldest grandson were, the emperor and the empress glanced at each other, and a shadow was cast in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Tai smiled again, this kid was a little bold, and suddenly came to the side of the eldest grandson queen, relying on his young age, he actually lay on the knee of the eldest grandson, and said: "Queen Mother, in fact, if you want your sons, there is one person who can bear this prince." Since ancient times, the young and old are orderly, and the leaves on the tree also have a high and low, the eldest brother Li Yue is the eldest son of the royal concubine, who is kind and benevolent and filial, and his reputation is straight after the sages, known as the genius of the world, if he can be the prince, the child has no complaints......"

This kid gave all the good words to Han Yue, but in the end, he didn't forget to give Li Chengqianyin a hand, and said with a smile: "If Brother Chengqian is the prince, then the child is very unconvinced. ”

The eldest grandson didn't hear all these words, but he was delighted that Li Tai flattered Han Yue, and couldn't help but say, "Qingque, you actually recommended your eldest brother?" ”

Li Taixiao's face hurriedly showed a serious look, and he said loudly: "Of course, if you talk about the ability to take over Datang, who else in this world can compare to the big brother?" The child knows that some people don't want to recognize this big brother, they don't recognize the child, they are all the blood and blood of the same mother, and they don't even care about family affection for the throne, this kind of person is shameless in the child's heart......"

"Good boy, good boy!" The eldest grandson nodded again and again, couldn't help but reach out and stroke Li Tai's forehead, and praised: "You made the queen mother very surprised, my little green finch has finally grown up." ”

Li Tai smiled sweetly, lying on the knee of the eldest grandson and pretending to be docile, he looked up with a smile on his face, but after lying down, his eyes turned sharply, and suddenly raised his little face to look at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Father, why don't you choose the eldest brother, there is a big banquet today, and you can announce it at the banquet later." ”

Li Shimin glanced at him meaningfully, and suddenly stood up from his chair.

The emperor got up, and none of the many princes dared to sit down, whether it was Li Chengqian or the rest of the princes, they all stood up in a hurry, Li Tai lay on the knee of the eldest grandson and thought about it, and the fat body stood up without a trace.

Li Shimin didn't care about the reaction of the princes, he walked to the door of the palace with his hands in his hands, looked at the red sun in the eastern sky, and sighed lightly for a long time: "I also want to choose him......

The hearts of all the princes twitched, and Li Tai's face quietly changed.

Li Shimin suddenly sighed again and muttered: "It's a pity that although the country is beautiful, it is difficult to retain talents, your eldest brother doesn't want to sit back and enjoy wealth, he likes to struggle and fight by himself, I have promised him......"

The princes suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Tai's heart was pounding, just now he was really afraid that the emperor would say that I listened to your suggestion, so I chose your eldest brother.

Li Shimin stood at the door with his hands in his hands, his eyes were wandering, no one knew what he was thinking, and the eldest grandson queen sighed faintly, and couldn't stop taking out a child's semi-finished clothes from somewhere, and actually threaded the needle and thread and began to sew, ignoring the affairs of the emperor and the princes.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly turned around, the emperor's tiger eyes were swept away, and he looked at the princes in the palace one by one, and then said: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for 14 years, and now it has a solid foundation. Our dynasty has countless founding generals, each of whom has a great reputation, a population of more than 60 million, tens of millions of acres of land, and more than 2 million soldiers......"

The emperor paused slightly when he said this, and said with deep meaning: "With such a thick foundation, no matter who you choose, you can be a Taiping Emperor with peace of mind, with the assistance of the Chinese ministers and generals of the state, and the continuous industrial support of your eldest brother, the second-generation monarch of the Tang Dynasty only needs to keep the family business, and does not need to be eloquent and strategic, nor does it need to be wise and martial...... In other words, any one of you can be the prince. ”

The eyes of the princes lit up for a while, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were happy, and those princes who originally felt unqualified were also excited, just because the emperor spoke too obviously and too straightforwardly, and if he said something disobedient, this prince could choose a fool to take it.

"Father's ......"

"Father's ......"

"Father's ......"

The princes spoke one after another, all holding their heads high, showing their most energetic side.

Li Shimin is such a person, he naturally knows what these sons are thinking, the emperor smiled faintly, and suddenly said: "I have a question for you today, as long as any of you can answer to my satisfaction, this prince will give it to him later!" ”

Li Chengqian was the most anxious, and hurriedly jumped out and said, "Father, what do you want to ask?" ”

Li Shimin slowly turned around, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said with a leisurely expression: "I want to ask, this position of prince is what your eldest brother wants to give up, if you become a prince and become an emperor in the future, how will you treat him and his son?" ”

The emperor turned back suddenly, stared at Li Chengqian, and said solemnly: "Chengqian, I will give you a chance, and I will let you answer this question first." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned!

Li Shimin's face was leisurely, and he said with deep meaning: "If you answer well, others don't have to answer." After all, you are the second eldest member of the royal family, and Qingque has a saying that is right, since ancient times, the young and the young have been orderly, and the leaves on the trees have high and low ......"
