But.

There is growth and progress, and the emperor's candidate still cannot be hastily decided.

Although he already had a little understanding and decision in his heart, he still thought that he should take a look at these sons.

Let's find out again.

Thereupon.

Li Er continued: "Wang De, give a seat, let the princes all sit down and talk." ”

"Yes."

Wang De had no choice but to take the order and call the little eunuchs under him to bring some chairs.

But in this case.

The hearts of the princes became more and more frightened, and they were afraid that something great would happen.

What if it's just the calm before the storm.

But how is it good.

Hiss......

After thinking of this, a prince hurriedly said: "Father, I don't know what you asked me to come to?" ”

They were still curious.

Calling people over with such fanfare, there must be something big happening.

Or rather, what should my father have to announce?

Therefore, many people's eyes were scorching, and Li Er called them all, indicating that this matter also had something to do with them.

Li Er glanced at these people and said, "I know that you and others have doubts in their hearts, and this time, I asked you to come here because I have some things I want to ask for your opinions." ”

"Father, please speak."

Li Tai was the first to express his position, thinking that he had seized the opportunity, and he thought that he should be able to attract the attention of his father.

The other princes followed suit, and they also said respectfully: "Father, please speak, and the sons and daughters will listen." ”

Li Er's face was still calm, as if he hadn't heard Li Tai's words, "Since you have asked for so, I will share it with you." ”

Thereupon.

Li Er continued to talk and asked, "First question: Do you want to be the emperor?"

If you want to do it, you can state it directly to me. ”

Princes: "......"

Isn't that terrifying?

Isn't it too taboo for my father to ask this question?

After all, Li Chengqian is still the prince, after all, they have no ability.

To say that he has no idea about the throne at all is absolutely false.

But in front of your Second Majesty, it is not easy for them to speak too clearly directly, which would be too slap in the face.

Besides, His Majesty Li Er is still watching.

It's a hard question to answer.

If you say it well, you will send a question, but if you say it badly, you will send a proposition.

In contrast, they felt that this question was a test for Li Er.

Maybe he's just waiting for everyone's answers.

I don't know if the guess in my mind is true or false, but most of it is definitely true.

Truly.

His Royal Highness Li Er did have the intention of being tempted, but he wanted to see what his unsuccessful bastard sons were thinking.

He can tell at a glance whether it is true or false.

Time.

All the princes are looking at me, and I am looking at you, and they don't look at each other very well.

And when Li Chengqian is still there, when his position as the crown prince still exists, no one dares to make a mistake.

So naturally, no one would say that he wanted to be emperor.

In that case, I'm afraid it will attract the wrath of His Majesty Li Er.

Anyway, the princes present all felt that Li Er's question just now must be testing them.

None of the princes are fools.

So they spoke.

"Back to his father's words, Erchen never thought of becoming an emperor, in Erchen's opinion, it would be good to be an ordinary carefree prince."

"That's right, Erchen also thinks like this, and I hope my father will see it."

"Erchen has never dared to covet the throne, Gao Ming's brother is young and vigorous, and he is gentle and elegant, and he is the prince of the prince, and he is the best candidate for the emperor's position."

"That's right, I also think I should fully support my big brother."

"The eldest brother is the crown prince, and the Tang Emperor naturally belongs to him."

“……”

Hearing the words of these bastard sons, Li Er was a little helpless.

The face is not ugly.

These individuals, I'm afraid, think that he, Li Er, is just testing people's hearts.

But I don't know.

He really wanted to know what these princes were thinking, and if he could, he would love to hear their opinions.

After a while.

The hall fell silent, the princes, you look at me, I also look at you, I can't help crying and laughing.

I can't tell the truth.

Their thoughts were a little surprising and terrifying.

Li Er had no choice but to continue: "Since you don't say it, then let's follow the order and explain your reasons." ”

“……”

His Majesty Li Er's words made people very angry, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

Come on.

Now everyone can't run.

No one can escape, they have to talk about it.

As for what his father wants to hear, he can only guess by his own means.

If you guess it, it's a good thing, if you can't guess it, it's a bad thing, and if you're not careful, you may end the game.

It is a matter of each other's future, and the future is still very important.

In order, the third Li Ke is the biggest, and it's time for him to speak.

Li Ke actually knew very well that no matter what Li Er's thoughts were, he would not be able to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how peerless his talent is, no matter how good his talent is, because his mother is Concubine Yang, what flows in his Li Ke's body is the blood of the blood of the previous dynasty.

So naturally you can't be an emperor, and you can't have the opportunity to be an emperor.

Think about it.

Li Ke stood up respectfully and said, "Father, Erchen is your third son, but presumably Father, you also know very well that because of Erchen's bloodline, Erchen knows very well that he will not have the opportunity to be the emperor, probably he will not have a chance to be the emperor in this life."

It is precisely because of these reasons that the sons are also courageous, the father, in fact, the sons have no idea about the throne, and they have already died many years ago. ”

Li Er: "......"

Could it be that he has been treating this son harshly all these years?

All of a sudden.

Li Er still feels quite guilty about Li Ke's son, after all, he is not the child of her and the eldest grandson, so he doesn't care and take care of them as much as Li Chengqian.

Partial lameness is also a certainty.

As soon as Li Ke said yes, the fourth prince Li Tai felt weird in his heart.

Without Li Ke in front of him, he smiled.

But he's different.

Because Li Tai is the son of Li Er and Empress Changsun, he can be regarded as a concubine.

And for so many years, he has also been competing with Li Chengqian for favor, wanting to get the favor of His Majesty Li Er.

Take this opportunity to get involved in the high throne, and I don't know.

Thinking of this, Li Tai had to hurriedly stand up and explain: "Father, the son has no idea about the emperor's position.

Besides, isn't the eldest brother the crown prince, and he should be the one who wants to be the emperor. ”

It can't be his turn Li Tai.

Thinking like this, Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little contrary in his heart, but at the moment he didn't have any way.

Seeing that Li Er continued to look at him, Li Tai continued to say quietly: "Father, every bitter word of the sons and daughters is heartfelt, and I hope that your father and emperor will be aware of everything." ”

Spot the hell.

Li Er almost turned his back in anger.

He originally thought that the fourth son, Mrs. Li, had some ideas about the throne, at least he should be very brave to answer that question just now.

But Li Tai's answer just now made him too disappointed.

"It's just unbelievable."

Li Er secretly gave Li Tai a label, which doesn't seem to be very good.

It's all a bunch of guys who dare to think and don't dare to do it, a bunch of rubbish.

All of a sudden.

Li Er actually complained a little about these people, he was really angry and hated that he didn't know how brave.

Many people are afraid and think that it is all him Li Er who is tempting, but in fact, does he need to be tempted like this?

Not at all.

Next.

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and even eighth sons began to answer.

Everyone's words are nothing more than one meaning, that is: because of various reasons, I don't want to, and I can't be the emperor.

As for who will be in charge, they also made it clear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian is still the crown prince, and he has not given up, so it is most suitable for him to inherit the throne.

The meaning of these princes made His Majesty Li Er want to stare at them several times, if this is feasible.

"If Gao Ming is willing to be the emperor and is willing to take over, why is it so difficult for me."

What a bunch of nasty guys.

Soon, it was the turn of the ninth son, Li Zhi, who raised his head weakly, and first glanced at the many ministers and his brother who had been intercepted.

Then, Li Zhi said: "Father, the sons are also loyal to you, even if you give the sons a thousand dares, you don't dare to think about it." ”

There must be no mistakes in this regard.

"But ......"

Lao Jiu Li Zhi continued: "However, if you really have an idea, I am still willing to sacrifice myself and follow your advice. ”

That's right.

Finally came the right one.

That's nice.

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said, "Pheasant slave, I didn't expect you to know me better, so many people just dare to say this, hehe!" ”

Princes: "......"

Suddenly, they realized that they were missing something.

But he couldn't figure out what he was missing, because Li Er didn't say anything clearly.

Lao Jiu Li Zhi was also slightly stunned, and he said, "Father, do you think what Erchen said is right?" ”

Actually, he's just talking nonsense, just nonsense.

He didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to agree with his statement very much, and he never expected Li Er to praise him like this.

What a surprise.

This was a little embarrassing, and Li Zhi hurriedly added: "Father, everything you say is right, and your sons only listen to you." ”

The implication: If you want him Li Zhi to be the emperor, then he will be the emperor; If you don't need him to be emperor, then he isn't emperor.

Anyway, Li Zhi also knows very well that who becomes the emperor is actually just a thought of his father.

He said that whoever can be in it, then whoever can be it.

If he says that anyone can't be, then that person really can't be.

Many people envy Lao Jiu Li Zhilai, look, this is the real Jane in the emperor's heart.

Lao Jiu Li Zhi, it's really not simple.

Although, these princes didn't know the purpose and significance of the questions Li Er had just asked.

However, they knew that Lao Jiu Li Zhi might be about to develop, and the answer just now was the best explanation.

Really.

The next moment, Li Er continued to ask: "Second question: What do you think of the current environment of Datang?" ”

The problem is huge.
