In the early morning, the sun has not yet climbed into the sky from the sky, and the palace of Chang'an City is already brightly lit.

In recent days, Li Shimin has worked meticulously every day for the affairs of the Japanese country, and yesterday he had a rare day of leisure and had a good rest in the Lizheng Palace.

Before dawn, a secret letter was sent into the palace by the secret spies of the Tianji Guard.

"Lord Liu, the secret letter sent back from the Wa Kingdom is urgent for eight hundred miles!"

The black-clothed Shenwu Wei spy stood respectfully in front of Liu Sanshui and handed the secret letter to him.

"Happy event or ......"

Liu Sanshui pinched the secret letter in his hand and examined it carefully, and found that there was no trace of dismantling, so he frowned and asked.

The Divine Warrior Guard's face showed joy and said, "Happy event, great happy event!" ”

"In that case, let's send this letter over now!" Liu Sanshui didn't believe that the secret spies of the guards dared to deceive him these days.

So, Li Shimin, who was resting in the Lizheng Palace, was picked up by Liu Sanshui.

"Sanshui, why is it so urgent?" Li Shimin hastily put on a coat under the service of the maid, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness between his eyebrows.

"An urgent secret letter of eight hundred miles from the Wa Kingdom!" After Liu Sanshui handed over the secret letter in his hand to Li Shimin, he quietly stepped aside.

Li Shimin frowned and opened the secret letter, but as the secret letter was read, the expression on his face gradually became pleasantly surprised, and in the end, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha......"

Empress Eldest Sun was awakened by Li Shimin's laughter, and looked at Li Shimin with some confusion and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?" ”

Li Shimin handed the secret letter in his hand to the eldest grandson queen who hurriedly got up in her clothes, and said, "Princess Wu has given birth to Lin'er for Yuanba!" ”

"Really?" Empress Eldest Sun was also quite pleased, she looked at the secret letter in her hand with her head slightly lowered, and after a while. "Shun'er is really angry, the first child is a baby boy." ”

"The fourth brother also asked me to give his child a name, which is very thoughtful!" Li Shimin said with some emotion: "According to our Li clan's clan habits, Yuanba is the prince, and his eldest son should be the continuation of the ......."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Empress Eldest Sun and Liu Sanshui became silent at the same time.

As a close person to Li Shimin. These two people naturally know the meaning of Chengzi to Li Shimin.

Since the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, since Li Jiancheng, all his subordinates have been wiped out, all of Li Shimin's heirs, except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, have all abandoned Chengzi.

After that, Li Shimin's heirs were named with a single word, so now the re-use of the word Chengzi is sad for Li Shimin.

"Well, it's just a name, even if it's a Chengzi?" Li Shimin was silent for a while. Finally made a decision, "I will not only use the word inheritance this time, but also make the fourth brother's child the king of the county, and the title of Yuanba will also be upgraded to hereditary replacement!" ”

Li Shimin's words surprised Liu Sanshui.

According to the past situation, the royal brothers and princes are all feudal and are called princes. The son of the prince shall inherit the heir. The princes and sons are also the kings of the county. The son of the prince who inherits the favor is also named the king of the county, and the sons are named the prince of the county.

With the degree of the emperor's favor for King Wu. It is not surprising that the eldest son of King Wu was named the king of the county just after birth.?

But the hereditary replacement of this prince is different, especially the title of King Wu.

Let's not talk about the word King Wu. In the current status and supreme power represented by the Tang Dynasty, the hereditary replacement alone is enough to surprise Liu Sanshui.

Under normal circumstances, the title of a prince is only descended by hereditary succession.

In other words, the title of the prince will also be reduced to the king of the county, if the title of a prince is not hereditary, then his eldest son must only have the title of the king of the county.

If it is hereditary. Then before the fall of this dynasty, the descendants of this prince will still be the inheritance of the prince and enjoy the treatment of the prince as long as they do not commit rebellion and rebellion.

The title of King Wu is hereditary. What a blessing!

……

Just after three o'clock, Li Shimin, who was early in the morning, summoned a large group of his ministers into the palace to discuss the selection of the title for the eldest son of King Wu and the hereditary replacement of the title of King Wu.

Although the title of King Wu is quite important in the Tang Dynasty, these two things can also be regarded as family affairs of their Li royal family, so Li Chengqian also has several underage princes, as well as the youngest son of Emperor Li Yuan, who is also Li Shimin's eleventh brother, King Xu Li Yuanjia, also arrived together.

Because this was not a formal court meeting, the participants were all led to the Lin De Hall by Liu Sanshui.

Breakfast had already been prepared in the Lin De Palace, and Li Shimin and the ministers were seated at the same time.

Li Chengqian sat at the front, followed by Li Yuanjia, Li Tai, Li Zhen, the king of Xu, and even the ninth prince Xiao Li Zhi came.

After that, there was a group of ministers who were called by Li Shimin, like Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, and Niu Jinda, who were still in the Wa Kingdom, so except for Li Ji, an old yin man, who belonged to the military bosses, the others were some civil servants.

Seeing the ministers, Li Shimin didn't mention the matter, but first let these ministers have a good meal.

Because Li Shimin believes that the two things he proposed will be ...... No, the matter of naming should be three things.

As soon as these three things are brought up, some of these people will definitely not be able to eat all day.

After everyone in the Lin De Hall finished eating this breakfast with doubts, Li Shimin also led the conversation.

"Listed as a meritorious service, today I summoned you and others to come here, there are two things I want to discuss with you!" Li Shimin took a roll of clean cloth from Liu Sanshui's hand and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "Early this morning, I received a happy letter from the Wa Kingdom, and Princess Wu gave birth to Lin'er for King Wu......"

"Father, what did you say?"

"Did my aunt give birth? That's great! ”

"The fourth sister-in-law is born, which is really gratifying!"

The half-grown children led by the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Xu, Li Yuanjia, as well as those children, suddenly became excited, and asked one by one without caring about etiquette.

Li Shimin is in good spirits when he is happy, so he is also happy to see these children happy for this matter: "Can this be fake? Your Fourth Emperor Uncle personally sent someone to bring back the letter, and begged me to give his son a name! ”

Seeing that Li Shimin was in such a good mood, Li Tai rushed out before Li Chengqian, and suggested to Li Shimin: "Father, it is a great joy for the fourth emperor uncle to have an heir in middle age, and my father should send a messenger to congratulate him in person!" ”

"Sneer......"

Li Yuanjia, the king of Xu, has always been a straight man, and he is most unaccustomed to the villain's behavior of those who tend to be inflammatory, deliberately flattering, and although this kid is the same as Li Yuanba, he is the same age as Li Chengqian, and he is closer to Li Chengqian on weekdays, so he is a hundred people who are not used to Li Tai's fierce sycophancy.

"This little sycophant!" Li Yuanjia muttered silently, turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Chengqian, didn't you know this news before?" ”

"Uncle Eleventh, you also know that I have been annoyed by the political affairs of the court recently, where is the time to send someone to the Wa Kingdom?" Li Chengqian shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "But this is really a happy event, the Fourth Emperor Uncle is finally back again!" ”

Compared with Li Tai's deliberateness, Li Chengqian is sincere, he is sincerely in power, and Li Yuanba is happy.

"Cheng Qian, Yuan Jia......" At this moment, Li Shimin's voice interrupted the conversation between the two, "What are you two muttering about?" ”

Li Chengqian and Li Yuanjia reacted at this time, Li Yuanjia was just about to speak, but Li Chengqian took the lead and said: "Father, it's like this!" Erchen is discussing with Uncle Eleven Emperor what to name for his younger brother! ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two of them with interest and said, "Oh, what do you think?" ”

Li Chengqian's eyes rolled, and he said: "Father, from the son of the minister, all the brothers of the son are taken from the single word, but the younger brother is the eldest son of the uncle of the fourth emperor, and in the opinion of the son, he should take the name of the double word!" ”

"Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true!"

As soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, Wei Zheng stood up, bowed down and said, "Although Weichen is not from the Li clan, he also knows a thing or two about the heirs of the Li clan. His Royal Highness King Wu is a prince, and his eldest son should take the word first! Yes, the minister thought it was ......"

"Wei Zheng, you are presumptuous!" Wei Zheng didn't speak, and the eldest grandson Wuji jumped out and said: "As we all know, this character has not been used since the hidden prince, what is your intention to bring it up now?" ”

As soon as the three words of Prince Yin came out, the entire Lin De Hall suddenly fell into silence, and even his breathing became still!

After a long while, Wei Zheng turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said:

"According to the opinion of the eldest grandson, this inheritance word, the heir of the Li family will not be able to use it in the future? Let's not say that this broke the rules of the Li family...... Oh, of course, this is His Majesty's own business, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone, as His Majesty's eldest son, has a Cheng character in his name, how do you want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with himself? ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's face changed slightly, but after being in the court for so many years, he naturally thought of this situation a long time ago, so he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is high and respectful, how can others compare?" ”

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji made the faces of the Li clan present, regardless of whether it was Li Shimin's own sons or his own brothers, all of them became very ugly.

Even Li Chengqian's face turned red, he obviously didn't expect his own uncle to dig such a big pit to hack him.

If this matter gets out, how will he mix up among the Li family in the future?

Wei Zheng appeared with an expression that seemed to be smiling, he peeked at Li Shimin, and saw that his face was indifferent, so he continued:

"Lord Eldest Sun's words, can the lower officials understand that the heirs of His Royal Highness King Wu should be the same as civilians, taking the name of Li Ergou and Li Dadan?" (To be continued.) )
