Chapter 163 Who will be the crown prince?
Winter, November of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan.
The five armies of the Tang Dynasty gathered together with Xi and Khitan to attack Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan was executed, and the eldest son Lamang and his legitimate son Bazhuo attacked each other.
Huihe betrayed Xue Yantuo and became independent, defected to the Tang Dynasty and attacked Xue Yantuo.
Because of the uneven distribution of organs, the Xi tribe and the Khitan tribe fought fiercely and fought against each other. There were beacon fires everywhere in the north and south of the desert.
At the same time, because the foreign races on the border were attacking each other and wooing the Tang Dynasty, the border areas of the Tang Dynasty were peaceful and quiet, showing a rare tranquility.
And Li Zhen, the creator of this situation, was returning to Chang'an with his four thousand troops.
In this battle, in addition to Li Zhen's troops, Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi of Qianniu Guards also made great contributions.
When chasing Xue Yantuo's army, they both made gains. Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi were very proud, knowing that based on their military exploits, they would definitely be promoted this time.
It seems that there are many benefits to following Li Zhen, which further strengthens the idea of ??Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi to stand on the same front as Li Zhen.
At this time, Li Zhen and his army had returned to the outskirts of Chang'an. At this time, he received an imperial edict from Li Shimin, asking Li Zhen and Li Ke to enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor.
Li Zhen and Li Ke did not dare to neglect, and entered Chang'an City with Nina and a hundred guards armed with shotguns. At the same time, Cheng Chuzhi and Wang Fangyi also led their troops into the city to deliver the army.
Li Zhen and Li Ke entered the Manna Palace. At this time, Li Shimin, after a period of recuperation, was in much better physical condition and his face was rosy.
Standing next to Li Shimin were Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, Gao Shilian, Yang Shidao, Liu Jie, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, Cui Renshi and other civil servants, as well as Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji, Li Jing, Su Dingwen, and the newly transferred Cheng Yaojin and other generals returned to the court.
Li Shimin was very happy to see Li Zhen and Li Ke come back. This time Li Zhen defeated Xue Yantuo and pacified the desert, which made Li Shimin very happy. He even looked at Li Zhen with a smile.
Then, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke again and said, "Ke'er, you have suffered."
"Father! I have no face to see you" Li Ke's voice was choked with sobs.
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs, Ke'er, don't blame yourself."
"Father, my son is disheartened and wants to return to the fiefdom of Liangzhou. I hope my father will make it happen."
Li Shimin frowned and felt a lot in his heart. Li Ke was originally his favorite son, but now he has been captured by Xue Yantuo and has lost the qualification to become the prince. It is not a good thing to keep him away from the court. At least he can be safe. Finish this life.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Shimin sighed, with a lonely look on his face.
"Your Majesty, you go see your mother later, and then go to the fiefdom."
"Thank you, father, for your success." Li Ke bowed to Li Shimin and then stood up.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhen, with a smile on his face, and nodded in praise: "Zhen'er does have the same demeanor as I did back then, leading troops to fight, winning every battle, and conquering every attack."
¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Zhen¡¯er that the northern border is so peaceful now.¡±
At that moment, Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said, "The reason why I summoned you all here today is to discuss a major matter."
Hearing Li Shimin¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s hearts skipped a beat, thinking that the real thing was finally coming. There was no way to hide this matter, so it had to be put on the table.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he thought he was going to be bad, and immediately said: "The emperor's health has just improved, and it is not too late to save some important matters for later."
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "During my illness, I thought a lot. What would happen to the Tang Dynasty if I couldn't afford it?"
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. It's time to elect a prince."
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't avoid the matter of choosing the prince. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, I would like to ask the emperor to confer Jin Wang Li Zhi as the prince."
"I would like to ask the emperor to confer Jin King Li Zhi as the crown prince." Chu Suiliang and Gao Shilian all said to Li Shimin.
Chu Suiliang is a member of Changsun Wuji's lineage, and Gao Shilian is the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Queen Changsun. Naturally, he also wants to speak to Li Zhi, the daughter of Queen Changsun.
Gao Shilian had a very high status in Li Shimin's heart and had already retired. This time he was pulled over by Changsun Wuji to speak for Li Zhi. Changsun Wuji had made all preparations in order to bring Li Zhi over. ?Ascend to the position of prince.
Sure enough, Li Shimin's heart sank when he saw Gao Shilian and other important ministers supporting Li Zhi as the crown prince.
He originally thought that since Li Zhen had made such a great contribution this time, there wouldn't be much opposition from the ministers when he was promoted to the position of prince.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the important ministers headed by Changsun Wuji still supported Li Zhi. It seemed that establishing Li Zhen as the crown prince was not an easy thing.
Li Shimin just didn't understand, why did Changsun Wuji still not want Li Zhen to be the crown prince despite his great achievements?
Is it just because Li Zhi is the child of Changsun Wuji¡¯s biological sister?
At this moment, Li Jing spoke.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhen has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I believe that the position of prince should be filled by Li Zhen, the king of Yue."
Li Jing is now Li Zhen¡¯s father-in-law, so naturally he wants to speak to his son-in-law, which is not surprising.
" Moreover, Li Jing is the Duke of Wei, and he ranks high among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He is the leader of the generals. His words play a decisive role.
After listening to Li Jing's words, Cheng Yaojin also spoke: "I once worked with His Highness the King of Yue. The King of Yue had rare talents and outstanding abilities. When he was in Youzhou, he destroyed the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, and retreated the Xi clan's 200,000-strong army. The trade routes have been opened, the people have become rich, and now we have defeated Xue Yantuo. With such unparalleled achievements, the position of the prince is worthy of his place."
Compared with Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin's eloquence was much better. As soon as Cheng Yaojin said this, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Yuchi Jingde and other generals agreed.
After hearing what Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin said, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face.
Li Shimin was already inclined to make Li Zhen the crown prince. In Li Shimin's opinion, Li Zhi was too cowardly and did not even dare to go on an expedition on behalf of his father. How could he talk about governing the country and opening up territory for the Tang Dynasty?
On the contrary, what Li Zhen did became more and more like herself.
Li Shimin loved Li Zhen very much, and the general's words hit his mark.
When Changsun Wuji saw that Li Shimin was leaning towards Li Zhen, he hurriedly said: "Since the Zhou Dynasty, the eldest son has inherited the throne. How can Li Zhen, a bastard, become the prince?"
When Li Zhen heard this, she knew that Changsun Wuji was upset, and immediately said: "Changsun Wuji, my father is not the eldest son who succeeded to the throne. Do you mean that my father came to the throne improperly???" ( Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
