Li Shimin was equally emotional.

He was very resistant to being crowned king and was very disgusted with it.

He didn't even expect that people would be talking about this matter.

Without someone's guidance, Li Shimin would not believe it, but there is still such a big discussion, which shows that people are very concerned about it.

This made Li Shimin feel a lot of pressure.

The pressure is not about whether he can be crowned king or not, but about Fang Yuan being recognized by the people.

That is to say, the things made by Fang Yuan are very practical and have indeed improved the lives of the people.

If Fang Yuan really moved away from Datang, it would be an unimaginable loss to Datang.

Gao Shilian snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan smiled coldly and retreated to his seat.

"Don't mention the matter of being crowned king again."

"The opinions of the people are the opinions of the people, just let them go."

Li Shimin looked deeply at Fang Yuan, then withdrew his gaze.

He made a conclusion that he would never make Fang Yuan king just because of it.

As for how to make Fang Yuan stay, let's think about it later.

"yes!"

The ministers should be.

The meeting will continue with other discussions.

Not long after, the court meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

"Shilang Fang, are you the one who guides public opinion?"

Ma Zhou approached Fang Yuan and looked at Fang Yuan up and down.

If Fang Yuan hadn't helped him so much, he wouldn't have wanted to get close to Fang Yuan.

King Feng, how dare you think of such a rebellious thing?

"not me."

Fang Yuan shrugged and said.

Indeed, it was not Fang Yuan, but it was Du Miaoyan.

Everything now is Du Miaoyan's plan. Her second step is to make the people of the world think that Fang Yuan's achievements are enough to make him king.

In the next ten days or so, the news about Fang Yuan being crowned king not only did not fade away, but the buzz became louder and there were more supporters.

At this time, not only Chang'an City was talking about it, but almost the whole world was talking about it.

Many people say that the cement launched by Fang Yuan alone is enough to become the king, let alone the red bricks.

They have sheltered the homes of countless people, given them a warm home, housed tens of millions of buildings, and sheltered the poor people all over the world with joy!

For a time, Li Shimin and others, who thought that the popularity would subside in a few days, couldn't sit still.

Among them, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian wrote a letter opposing Fang Yuan's title of king.

Then, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others also wrote letters of opposition.

As long as they were ranked high and had some reputation, they all wrote letters to oppose Fang Yuan's title of king.

There were piles of memorials, as tall as an adult, and they were all against Fang Yuan's title of king.

Li Shimin looked at the pile of memorials with a calm expression and asked someone to call Prince Li Zhi over.

"Prince, do you know why I called you here?"

Li Shimin looked at the memorial and said in a deep voice.

"My father wanted to teach his sons how to govern the country."

Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin, then looked at Li Shimin's eyes, and said loudly.

"Yes and no."

Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and returned to sit on the dragon chair.

He casually picked up a memorial and threw it at Li Zhi, and it landed in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi picked up the memorial out of curiosity, opened it carefully and read the contents, his expression changed.

"These are all against Fang Yuan being crowned king."

"Father, I would like to ask you, what do you think about Fang Yuan being crowned king?"

"Don't be anxious, think slowly, I hope you will answer me truthfully."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and said in a deep voice.

This was the first time I asked the prince about political matters, which was considered a test.

Li Zhi did not speak immediately, but carefully read the memorial in his hand.

Then he closed his eyes and thought seriously, sometimes frowning.

Li Shimin looked at it without urging, but instead felt a little satisfied.

If you think twice before acting, you can avoid making many mistakes.

And such important matters need to be considered carefully.

"Back to my father, from a personal perspective, I support Fang Yuan in being crowned king."

"But as a prince and a member of the royal family, I cannot agree!"

After about a stick of incense, Li Zhi opened his eyes and gave his thoughts.

"Why should you support your personal feelings?"

Li Shimin asked with some surprise.

"Because what Fang Yuan has done has really improved people's livelihood, I think his achievements are enough to make him a king."

Li Zhi said solemnly.

Although he is young, he is very smart.

After the people discussed Fang Yuan's title of king, he became concerned.

At the same time, I also sorted and analyzed it, and I greatly admired Fang Yuan's efforts, and felt that I could be crowned king.

But that's just from the perspective of an ordinary person.

And since he is the crown prince, Fang Yuan cannot be crowned king.

Otherwise, given Fang Yuan's life among the people, his future succession would be in great danger.

Even if Fang Yuan has no objection, no one wants to see a lion in the place where they sleep.

"Zhinu, your analysis is more detailed than that of my father."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

From the beginning, he never considered this from a personal perspective, but from the perspective of the court.

The court cannot have a king with a different surname. The existence of a king with a different surname will bring many problems. For this reason alone, no matter how great his achievements are, Fang Yuan cannot be crowned king.

"Thank you, Father, for the compliment."

Li Zhi scratched his head slightly embarrassed.

"In your opinion, would you like to reward Fang Yuan?"

Li Shimin continued to ask.

Fang Yuan cannot but be appreciated for creating the Maritime Silk Road.

How to reward people so that they can slowly stop discussing the matter of being crowned king becomes the key.

"Promote the title of Minister and grant the title of Third Duke!"

Li Zhi said in a deep voice.

If you don’t want to be crowned king, then crown the top three princes currently.

Although it is only a false position, it is also a supreme honor that no one else can even think of.

"I understand, you can go down."

Li Shimin nodded and said.

This is also his current thinking.

But he felt that this reward was a bit insufficient.

After all, the public opinion in the world is so big that it is difficult to suppress it.
