Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other.
Immediately, the two of them said in unison: "Prince, Wei Zheng is a stubborn person. I'm afraid he won't agree. His background is too complicated. He was a Taoist priest, worked with Li Mi and Dou Jiande, and was a former prince."
An aide. People like him should be used with caution."
"No, you have only seen the superficial phenomenon. From the fact that he can predict that I will one day replace the former crown prince, it can be seen that his talents are different from ordinary people. It is the time for me to appoint people in the early days of the Tang Dynasty.
If we don’t use all the talents, who should we use? What’s more, most of the people who followed me and risked their lives were military generals. We just need this kind of multi-functional talents who are civilized and armed enough to govern the country."
Changsun Wuji said: "What the prince said is absolutely true, but I heard that Wei Zheng is guarding the mausoleum of the former prince at the foot of Qingliang Mountain. I don't know whether he is willing."
"I thought that since he had a lot of moral knowledge, he would not want to live like this for the rest of his life. When the important matter is decided, why don't you two go with me to visit the thatched cottage."
"So good."
Changsun Wuji glanced at Fang Xuanling and said.
Li Shimin looked at the two capable ministers and asked, "Is there anything else you can do?"
Changsun Wuji hesitated and said: "Prince, there is something important that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
"What's the matter? Are you still secretive here? But it doesn't matter."
Changsun Wuji said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Gong, please tell me."
Seeing that he was extremely uncomfortable, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Brother Zhangsun, you don't have to be embarrassed. It must be for the sake of my sister-in-law. Don't worry, I, Li Shimin, will naturally make her my queen after I become the emperor."
Changsun Wuji was about to kneel down and thank him, but he stopped him and said, "There's no need to be polite. Wuyou has been a respectful and virtuous person since she was married into the Li family at the age of thirteen. Her support is inseparable from what I am today. Changsun Wuji
Brother, there is no need to worry."
"The prince's harem has many concubines, and my sister is upright and upright. I have always been a little worried."
"It's an exaggeration. This is the most valuable thing about a princess. What's rare and valuable is that her appearance greatly boosted morale during the Xuanwu Gate incident that day. She is truly a strange woman in the world."
Changsun Wuji looked pleased and said: "Your Highness, Wuyou is like this because he has a good husband like you. Don't worry, whether she is a queen or not, our Changsun family will never smear her face."
.”
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling left.
On the ninth day of August, the city of Chang'an was filled with joy. Li Shimin accepted Li Yuan's Zen throne and officially ascended the throne. Changsun Wuyou was named queen.
Li Shimin's glorious life officially started.
At the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Li Tai looked at Wei Zheng sitting opposite with mixed feelings.
The man in front of me was so accurate in his predictions. No wonder he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and his reputation will last forever.
"Master Wei, how did you know that my father would ascend the throne?"
"Observe the celestial phenomena at night. The King of Yidu is still too young. To become a capable person, he needs to learn too many things, including astronomy, geography, and classical history books. Only then can he know astronomy and geography."
"You are so capable, why did my uncle end up in such a miserable way?"
"This has something to do with his character. He is too confident, thinking that his position as prince is very secure and he has the blessing of the emperor, so he is unwilling to listen to my suggestions."
"Sir, do I also have to listen to your advice?"
Li Tai asked with wide eyes.
"It's too late. Tomorrow morning, the emperor will confer the crown prince title. There is no way to go back now."
"Who do you think the emperor will make the crown prince?"
Li Tai looked forward to it.
He hoped that the man in front of him could give him a little confidence. After all, it was his brother Li Chengqian who was named the prince in history.
Wei Zheng did not answer.
No answer means it's not him.
However, he worked hard. He did so many things for him and actively promoted his position as prince.
Li Tai's mood suddenly became very bad.
It was late at night, and the maids all fell asleep.
Wei Zheng accompanied Li Tai as he looked at the stars in the sky, and focused on a very obvious star.
"Did you see that star?"
Li Tai followed his gaze.
A star shines brightly.
"I saw it, Mr. Wei, what do you mean?"
"Tomorrow, just tomorrow, your father Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty will confer the crown prince title."
Li Tai was silent.
History is hard to change. He has tried his best, but to no avail.
He was a little suspicious of Li Shimin, who was known as the emperor of the ages. Wasn't he a talented man? Didn't he understand that the prince was the one who would inherit the throne in the future? Is it so casual?
"Master Wei, am I particularly incompetent?"
"No. Talented people may not necessarily be valued. I think I'm not bad, but am I the same as you? Is it useful to have an empty ambition to govern the country?"
"In this case, you and I are both fallen people from the end of the world."
"Exactly. People born into an emperor's family are not necessarily lucky. Like him."
Wei Zheng pointed to Li Jiancheng's mausoleum not far away and said.
"Born into an ordinary family, he might be able to live to be seventy or eighty years old, but just because he is a prince, he has lost the simple life of ordinary people, and cannot even live the basic life of a family full of children and grandchildren."
"Are you happy to be born into an emperor's family?"
Wei Zheng was amused by his question and said, "Is this hypothesis valid?"
"I know it's not true, I just want to know."
Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "If I must answer this question, I think it's better for me to be an ordinary person. At least, I can live a few more years."
"Instead of living like a zombie, it's better to do something big with great vigor."
Li Tai almost told him that he came from time travel, but his reason stopped him.
He is not Li Tai, but borrowed his body and identity. He wants to rewrite history, but it seems that this willingness is just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.
"Wrong. Big mistake. Your parents gave you a body, and you became a member of a group. You have great responsibilities, and you have no right to choose life or death. King Yidu, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you are a prince or not.
Because the position of the prince is not static."
When Li Tai heard this, he liked it.
"Thank you, Lord Wei, for your enlightenment. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. I don't have a strong desire for power like my father, but I think power is a symbol of ability. If I have the opportunity one day, I will definitely not miss it.
"
"Okay, I have the guts. If there is a chance, I will definitely help you."
In the empty night sky, Li Shimin's beloved son and the Tang Dynasty's enemy high-fived each other as allies.
Chang'an City.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuyou were busy preparing for the title of crown prince the next day.
"Shimin, for such a big matter, I think we should take Tai'er back to the palace."
Li Shimin replied: "He is a child, what does it matter whether he is here or not? I know you don't want to confer the crown prince so soon, but canonizing the crown prince as early as possible is the foundation for stabilizing people's hearts, and it is not appropriate to establish him later."
"The palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are all flesh. I just feel that Qian'er is not strong enough in martial arts and has not a strong character. He will not be able to take on big responsibilities in the future."
"My beloved, I have thought about it. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? After the crown prince is crowned, I will personally pick up Tai'er back to the palace and pay my respects to the former prince. How about that?"
