"What do you have to do with you?"

Li Yuan said in a stern voice: "So you are pretending to be confused!"

Li Yao's expression tightened and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up: "I don't dare."

Li Yuan looked at her head and sighed: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people were in trouble. My father took advantage of the situation to raise the flag and raise the army. After nearly ten years, he could only conquer the situation of the north and south today. In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han once said that Cao Shen conquered the city and destroyed the two countries. It was just for the "god dog" who "chased the beast rabbit". Xiao He, who "sent the instructions", was a true "god person". His father agreed with this. He thought that your elder brother was old and focused on his old ways, coordinated and promoted virtue, and the law was strict and moral, and the people were attracted by it. Erlang was smart and heroic, proficient in strategy. He captured the two kings in Luoyang in a battle, and was famous throughout the country. He did not expect that he had a growing ambition because of evil instigation. He was determined to seize the position of prince of your elder brother. Although his father stopped him, he still..."

Li Yuan's voice suddenly dimmed: "I really didn't expect that Erlang would commit such an illegal and vicious act, which would kill both your elder brother and Yuan Ji. Although he is the only legitimate son of his father, given the current situation, it is impossible to make him the crown prince, otherwise where would he be placed as the father?"

Li Yao slowly raised his head and said, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Since the death of his elder brother, the candidate for the crown prince has not yet been determined. The hearts of the people in the court and the country seem to have fluctuated. Is there no suitable candidate among all the emperor brothers?"

Li Yaozhen didn't know how to judge Li Yuan's talent show standards back then. Almost all the beauties in the harem were selected because of their beauty. Most of them were from poor families and small households in the market. They were as rare as stars.

Although Li Yuan raised the status of King Li Yuanjia among the princes, he never mentioned Yuwen Zhaoyi when facing the court officials' suggestions on the enthronement of the queen. It can be seen that he only used the Yuwen brother and sister as a tool to completely cut off Li Shimin's wings, and may even have the intention of destroying bridges across the river.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Li Yao for a while, and then said, "In recent days, my father has carefully thought about whether Erlang can be reborn and changed his past. It will take at least several years to see which of your younger brothers is better. If you choose one rashly, it will inevitably lead to court officials taking the opportunity to form cliques for personal gain. When my father goes west, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the king is weak and the ministers are strong and the power is lost. As the saying goes, fertile land is self-cultivated. Therefore, during the selection of the crown prince, a royal family with no other intention is needed to stabilize the court."

Li Yao stared at him in surprise: "So, my father means..."

Li Yuan said: "For my father, I want to restore your name as Princess Pingyang, and in addition, according to etiquette and law, let you and..."

Li Yao's heart suddenly rose to his throat. Without thinking, he quickly intercepted and said, "No! This is not possible! Everyone in the world knew about the burial of her son. With her current identity, she would not know what she would look like by some people with hearts."

Li Yao is not a slow reaction. He would never have thought that Li Yuan would say that if he would be the next word, once he told Princess Pingyang that she was still in the world and turned into Princess Mingzhao, in order not to harm her life, she would have to undertake the marriage relationship between her predecessor and Chai Shao, otherwise she would be unable to cope with the long mouths of the world.

Wei Cheng added: "This is the difference between the old minister and Your Majesty! Although many civil and military officials have seen the appearance of the Lord before, compared with the number of people in the world, it is just a drop in the ocean. As the saying goes, 'Hearing is false, and seeing is true'. Your Majesty's arrangement will easily cause suspicion in the country, which will backfire and cause a lot of criticism for the Lord."

Li Yao looked at Wei Cheng with great gratitude and nodded immediately: "Yes, yes! What Mr. Wei said is so right!"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You are now, and you have made great achievements in the past. You have no prestige. Back then, you have lost money, humbled your corporals, swept Guanzhong, and have outstanding achievements. To this day, the heroes and talents in Guanzhong still admire you. If you are willing to agree..."

Li Yuan suddenly paused and said word by word: "For my father, I will let you move into the East Palace!"

A trace of twitch flashed across Li Yao's face. Although the "moving in" and "taking in" were only one word different, the meanings of the two were 100,800 miles apart.

She didn't want her to go through hardships like her predecessor, Princess Pingyang, to lay a foundation, and end up with her hands and handing over to her brothers.

For a long time, her greatest hope is to firmly grasp her own destiny, make her moves smoothly, and make her future power and status unshakable, no matter who inherits the throne, she will not be able to shake it.

At this moment, a key opportunity to successfully move towards this goal was in front of her!

Li Yao strengthened his determination, couldn't help but straighten his waist, and said with a sigh: "My father's good intentions are fully understood, but in life, how can I always remember and rely on the glory of the past? My son has his own set of principles of being a human being. If my father feels that my son's contributions are not enough now, then please let my father let me establish a glorious achievement that will grow far away from the glory of the past!"

Wei Cheng felt his arrogant pride and a very strong will from Li Yao's words, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the Lord is a man, no one will dare to fight for the position of the crown prince!"

Li Yuan was slightly moved when he heard this. When he recalled the amazing "last words" his daughter once poured out, a complex feeling of pride and pain rose in his heart.

Empress Mu, Dou, was outstanding for Li Yuansheng's children, and in terms of overall level, it was the best in the world.

However, due to his indulgence and love, the three outstanding sons were in harmony with water and fire, and an irreversible tragedy occurred.

At this moment, as an emperor, he sensitively sensed the desires and obsessions that a princess should not have in her daughter, and even faintly saw Erlang's shadow.

When Li Yuan thought of this, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly, then left the table and walked back and forth in the room. After a long time, he suddenly stood in front of Li Yao, raised his hand to help her up, looked at his daughter with majestic and heartache, and said slowly: "Lianhua, you have such ambitions. You are very happy for your father, but after all, you are old. After experiencing this family disaster, you feel that you are no longer as strong as before. You really don't want to bear the pain of sending black hair to a black hair. When you are in power in the future, I just hope that you can abide by your duties and never let your ambitions turn into crazy thoughts!"

Li Yao clearly felt the helplessness and pain in Li Yuan's words, and his mood immediately became uncontrollable. He held Li Yuan's hand tightly, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a "thump", and tears flowed out of his eyes: "My father's earnest teachings have been remembered in his heart, and he will definitely not let the scene of Xuanwu Gate happen again."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "With your words, I will feel at ease for my father."

He helped Li Yao back to his seat and continued, "Since you are unwilling to restore your past name, you will not force yourself to be a father, but for your father, you want you to take charge of Jie Li's invasion this time. I wonder if you are willing to take on this responsibility?"

Li Yao immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "I will never refuse the important tasks my father has entrusted!"

Li Yuan nodded again and said, "Okay! But as a woman, the soldiers in the army may be dissatisfied, so he thought that he could change the title that demonstrates his power." He then turned his head and asked Wei Cheng: "Does the priest have great opinions on this?"

Wei Cheng stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and responded: "I think that if you want to make your master's title show his power, it is best to contain the word "country", such as "restraining the country" and "protecting the country" are quite suitable."
