Chapter 18 Volume One Li Chengqian’s Purpose
Tai Chi Hall.
When the civil and military officials returned to the main hall again, there was always a feeling that things were different and people were different.
From time to time, everyone would glance at where Li Chengqian was sitting, even Li Er.
It's strange that Li Er didn't ask anyone to remove Li Chengqian's position, and just left it there empty.
"What did he say?" Li Er asked.
Fang Xuanling came out of class and bowed: "Your Highness, before he leaves, please let us work together to assist Your Majesty and bring peace to the Tang Dynasty for eternity! We will make great achievements that will never be forgotten!"
"Bring peace to the Tang Dynasty for all eternity! Make great achievements!" Li Er repeated these words and murmured to himself, "He still has the Tang Dynasty in his heart...
What else? What else did he say?"
"His Highness said that in the previous disputes in the court, everyone was not seeking their own selfish interests. They were all fighting and arguing for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. For this reason, His Highness asked Wei Chen and Li Pushe to tell Your Majesty that His Highness's choice is not anyone else's.
But don’t implicate others for it.”
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he stood aside. He knew that it was Li Er who made the final decision.
Just like before Li Er issued an edict to deprive Li Chengqian of his position as crown prince, Li Chengqian was still the legal heir of the Tang Dynasty.
thump!
Just when Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Lu Yushi rushed out, knelt directly on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am confused, confused!"
Then, a group of noble officials followed and knelt on the ground.
Li Er didn't speak, he was thinking about what Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness..." Seeing that Li Er didn't speak, Li Jing also left work and stood up, telling Li Chengqian's explanation to brother Li Tai.
It wasn't until Li Jing finished speaking that Li Shimin looked at the kneeling noble officials, sighed, and said: "Since Gao Ming said this was his own choice, he is only fighting for the prosperous Tang Dynasty with you and has no personal grudges.
Then the matter ends here.
I just hope that you can devote yourself to national affairs in the future, help me, help Datang, and lay a solid foundation. It is not in vain that Gaoming worried about you before leaving."
"I will definitely do my best to bring peace to the Tang Dynasty for all eternity and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
All civil and military officials immediately bowed and saluted.
Li Er nodded happily, this was the result he wanted.
Before, he was still worried about how to deal with the sequelae left by Li Chengqian after he left. Who knew, Li Chengqian had already figured it out for him.
For Li Er, there is no problem in killing Lu Yushi. After all, this guy is so lucky that he appears at the most critical points every time. If he really wants to be punished, no one even among the nobles would dare to say so.
What, what can be said.
After all, the behavior of kings, ministers, fathers, and sons is an important pillar of these nobles’ standing. The nobles who have abandoned these are still just some kind of nobles?
For Li Er, he could use this to punish Lu Yushi, and even suppress the noble clan by the way, but that was all. Going further, he could not do it. In the final analysis, the noble clan was still too large.
But on the contrary, it would be a great advancement for him to be able to show his tolerant and inclusive mind as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and to win over the gentry, even if it was only a small number of gentry officials.
An emperor can act based on his likes and dislikes, but an emperor who aims to become the emperor of the ages only looks at the pros and cons, and can suppress his inner likes and dislikes very well.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly stood up and said majestically, "I have been told that Prince Li Chengqian has been ordered to patrol the world for the emperor, observe the people's sentiments, and give the emperor a sword. If you encounter any lawless people on the road, you can kill them first and then report them."
"Your Majesty is wise." The crowd shouted again.
But at this time, everyone knew it clearly.
Li Shimin has no plans to establish another crown prince!
No matter where Li Chengqian is or what he is doing, as long as he is alive, he will always be the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
But Li Chengqian is going to the Western Regions... What is the difference between a Tang prince in the Western Regions and no prince at all?
If it were in the past, Wei Zheng would definitely jump out. The East Palace cannot be left without an owner for a day. Since Li Chengqian has disappeared, establishing another prince is the top priority.
After all, this is the foundation of the country, it is the crown prince, and it is to meet unexpected needs.
But today, Wei Zheng didn't say anything. At least in his heart, he felt that Li Chengqian was the most suitable prince. As long as Li Chengqian didn't die, he believed that Li Chengqian was the most suitable prince!
Think about that big heart, that magnanimity, that ambition, and then think about his self-exile to the Western Regions in order to avoid brotherly fratricide. Which prince can compare to this kind of kindness?
The nobles didn't say anything either. Just because Li Chengqian was still worried about their safety before leaving, they wouldn't say anything at this time.
As for those generals, not only did they admire Li Chengqian very much, but even if they disliked him, how many times had they rejected Li Er's words?
Of course, all this is what Li Chengqian needs. The reason why he is willing to be humble in front of them is so that after he leaves, there will be people in Chang'an who can speak to him.
Although I don’t know whether I will be able to come back in the future, it is still necessary to make some preparations in advance.
Next, Li Shimin and everyone made a lot of arrangements because of Li Chengqian's departure.
The morning dynasty is not over until the end of Chen hour.
As soon as the morning court here ended, Queen Changsun in the East Palace learned the news.
Originally, he and Princess Changle were serving Li Zhi, the young ancestor. When he heard the news from the chamberlain, he immediately stood up and said angrily: "What on earth does this traitor want to do?"
She never expected that Li Chengqian would demote himself and go to the Western Regions!
Li Zhi is still young and doesn't understand anything, but Princess Changle is already in her teens and understands some things. In addition, she has grown up in the palace since she was a child, so she has been exposed to many things.
Immediately he said with a smile on his face, "Brother Prince, don't you want us anymore?"
The children of Empress Changsun all had a good relationship. Before Li Er ascended the throne, the life of the brothers and sisters was actually not easy. At that time, they could even join a group to keep warm.
But as Li Shimin ascended the throne and Li Chengqian brothers grew up, desire was like a beast, tearing apart the already thin blood and family ties.
Listening to Li Lizhi's cry, Empress Changsun became even more upset. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Prepare the car. I want to see if he still has me as his mother in his heart!"
Li Chengqian's move caught Empress Changsun off guard.
Unlike Li Er, Li Er had many heirs. To put it bluntly, one more and one less had little impact on Li Er.
But his eldest grandson, the Empress, had only three sons, but Li Chengqian almost abolished two of them at once.
After looking at Li Zhi who could only roll around on the ground, Empress Changsun became extremely angry.
There is no selfish mother, no mother who doesn’t want to give the best to her son.
Even if Queen Changsun, who was called a virtuous queen by later generations, could be an exception?
