That’s right, I can’t have a grandson if my son doesn’t obey me. Anyway, the country is mine and I can give it to whomever I want.
In an instant, Li Yuan's thoughts became clear, and his eyes became extremely bright.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin immediately saw that Li Yuan was interested, and secretly screamed that it was bad, and began to persuade Li Yuan.
"Father, I think what Xiuning said is not unreasonable."
"Yes, father, I have said before that if Yuanji is willing to take office, I am willing to fully support him."
"..."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were talking impatiently one behind the other.
All we had to do was run up to Li Yuan and shout to Li Yuan to pass the position to Yuan Ji quickly, otherwise we would not be able to perform even if we jumped out of the cage.
Although Li Yuan passed the position to his grandson, they can still grab it, but they always feel panicked if they grab the position from their own sons or nephews. If they grab the position from Li Yuanji, they won't have so much psychological burden.
Therefore, they would rather let Li Yuan give the position to Li Yuanji than to let Li Yuan give the position to their son or nephew.
Li Yuan didn't know what they were thinking, so he sneered unceremoniously: "You don't listen to me, why don't you let me find someone who is obedient?"
Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "My son, I will definitely listen in the future."
Li Shimin also followed suit: "Everything my son did was purely for self-protection. Now after being taught a lesson by his father, he has woken up and asked his father to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds on his behalf.
I promise, I will listen to my father from now on."
Li Yuan smiled sarcastically: "What you say is better than what you sing..."
I believed your evil deeds!
"Then it's settled?"
Li Yuanji doesn't care what Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin have in mind. Since the three of them are unwilling to have a good discussion, don't blame him for flipping the table.
"What's settled? Nothing's settled."
Li Jiancheng spoke anxiously.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yuanji, we haven't discussed anything yet, how can we make a decision?"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin with a sneer, "Aren't you unwilling to talk?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked embarrassed.
Li Jiancheng said shamelessly: "We didn't say we didn't want to talk."
Li Yuanji sneered: "I want to talk, can we talk?"
Li Jiancheng nodded without hesitation.
Li Yuanji smiled coldly: "But I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Li Jiancheng stood up immediately and said: "Yuanji, everything is easy to discuss, everything is easy to discuss, don't do stupid things."
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but feel nervous, because the sword in Li Yuanji's hand had already been raised.
Li Yuanji said that if he wanted to establish an emperor's grandson, he and Li Shimin should be sent down first.
He doesn’t want to die yet!
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Jiancheng coldly, then glanced at Li Shimin who was installing clay sculptures on the side, and snorted: "Can we have a good talk now?"
Li Jianguo nodded without any stumbling.
Li Shimin nodded hesitantly.
Although Li Yuan still wanted to put on airs, show off his authority, and scold Li Yuanji, he succumbed to Li Yuanji's authority after seeing the long sword waving in Li Yuanji's hand.
"Since we can still talk, let's talk again. If it doesn't work out, then do as I say."
Li Yuanji said with a stern face, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xiuning, indicating that Li Xiuning should follow the agreement and stop messing around.
If he continues to act recklessly, he may not be able to control the situation.
Li Xiuning also realized that he had just been impulsive, and immediately took a few deep breaths and began to follow what Li Yuanji said in the letter: "Since my father is unwilling to make the fourth brother the prince, although the eldest brother and the second brother say they support it, they don't know it in their hearts.
Not willing.
If you want to make your fourth brother the crown prince, just treat it as if I didn’t say it."
When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin heard this, they suddenly became relaxed.
Li Yuan curled his lips, looking unhappy, but said nothing.
Li Xiuning continued: "Since you all don't agree with my proposal, then you can share your thoughts."
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, looking at this and that. Seeing that his father and second brother were unwilling to take the lead, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about maintaining the status quo?"
Li Shimin nodded almost without hesitation: "I have no objection..."
Li Xiuning frowned and was about to retort to Li Jiancheng when he heard Li Yuan say faintly: "Maintain the status quo? Then after today, won't you have to shout and kill each other again?"
Li Jiancheng looked embarrassed and was about to defend himself when he saw Li Yuan looking at Li Shimin and saying fiercely: "I will not agree to maintain the status quo no matter what I say. I said I would kill this beast, and I will definitely kill this beast.
"
Li Jiancheng opened his mouth weakly, but did not speak. He knew that his proposal had been shelved.
Li Xiuning took the opportunity to look at Li Shimin and said, "What do you think?"
While Li Shimin was thinking about how to make Li Yuan give up his intention to kill him, he said slowly: "I don't have any ideas. You can make your decision. I agree to whatever you say.
I just hope that my father can give me a chance to make meritorious service."
Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin and snorted coldly.
Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuan again and said, "Where is father?"
Li Yuan subconsciously wanted to say, 'I'm not your father', but when he saw that Li Yuanji hadn't put down the long sword in his hand, he swallowed the words back in his stomach, and then said in a neutral tone: "My thoughts
As I said just now, we should kill Li Jiancheng, the traitor, and kill Li Shimin, the beast.
As for the rest, I’ll wait until I finish dealing with the traitors and beasts.”
Li Xiuning sighed and said seriously: "Does father think this is possible? Can father really do it?"
Li Yuan shouted loudly like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "What can't I do?"
Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, give your father the sword and let him kill one of you."
Li Yuanji followed the good example and handed the long sword in his hand to the table in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan couldn't stand the excitement, so he suddenly picked up the long sword and looked at Li Shimin with a fierce expression.
Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking. After sighing with a complicated expression, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was letting Li Yuan control him.
Li Yuan held a long sword and attacked Li Shimin fiercely.
The long sword rose and fell in his hand three times, but finally failed to fall on Li Shimin.
"Dang Cang..."
Li Yuan angrily threw the long sword at Li Yuanji's feet and shouted: "Come here!"
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Yuan speechlessly, not wanting to talk to him.
When Li Yuan first entered the city gate building, he was very cruel and ferocious. He kept shouting that he wanted to kill Li Shimin.
Finally, when things came to a head, I was so stunned that I couldn’t do anything?!
You can't be so cruel, so why are you bragging?
He also said with fierce words that Li Shimin must be killed.
A slap in the face?!
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help me kill this beast!"
Seeing that Li Yuanji was unmoved, Li Yuan stamped his feet and shouted urgently.
Li Yuanji didn't move.
If possible, he wouldn't mind helping Li Yuan.
The problem is, it can't.
The many troops Li Shimin deployed outside Chang'an City have not yet been dealt with. Killing Li Shimin now would be no different from poking a hornet's nest.
Although Li Yuan kept shouting at Li Shimin to kill him, if he really killed Li Shimin, Li Yuan would definitely make a list afterwards.
As a senior slave to his son, Li Yuan himself could not bear to do evil things to his son, so how could he tolerate others doing evil things to his son?
Even if it was his other son who committed the crime.
"You are indeed a traitor! Do you want to see your father bear the reputation of being unkind?!"
Seeing that Li Yuanji still refused to take action, Li Yuan cursed angrily.
Today, Li Yuan, like Li Jiancheng, has only one mouth left in his body.
Li Xiuning couldn't bear to see Li Yuanji being made things difficult for her by Li Yuan, so she yelled and scolded her, and spoke out to save Li Yuanji, "Since neither my father nor my eldest brother has any good ideas, and my second brother is unwilling to express his thoughts, then let me tell you my thoughts."
.”
Li Xiuning's words brought everyone back to business.
Li Xiuning looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "Since father, eldest brother, and second brother do not agree with Yuan Ji being the crown prince, then let the eldest brother continue to be the crown prince.
However, considering that the eldest brother had poisoned the second brother before, he also set up a trap to murder the second and fourth brothers.
Then the prince, eldest brother, is not suitable to hold power anymore. From now on, it will be better to be a prince who is not concerned with worldly affairs."
When Li Jiancheng heard the first half of Li Xiuning's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then almost cried out with joy.
When I heard the second half of Li Xiuning's words, my heart suddenly became cold again.
However, compared to being deposed as the crown prince and being killed by Li Yuanji, this result is already very good.
At least you don't have to worry about losing your position as crown prince, and you don't have to worry about losing your life.
As for authority, after leaving here, we can slowly plan our way back.
Anyway, as long as he is still the prince and still shoulders the righteousness, the veterans who live by righteousness will still support him, and he will still have a chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, although Li Jiancheng was dissatisfied with Li Xiuning's idea, he did not object vocally and just snorted.
Li Shimin was now focused on changing Li Yuan's attitude towards him, and then escaping from here, regrouping, and making a comeback. As for Li Xiuning's idea, he decided to support it without much thought.
As long as Li Xiuning didn't propose to kill him now, he would choose to support him to the end without hesitation.
As for what he said and promised here, do he still need to care about it after he regroups and makes a comeback?!
Therefore, Li Shimin did not speak out against Li Xiuning's idea, not even a word.
Li Yuan complained a lot, "He wants to murder his brother, but you still let him continue to be the prince? Aren't you afraid that he will continue to kill his brother after he escapes from here?"
Li Xiuning nodded and said: "I do have this worry, so I hope that my father will integrate the defense of Taiji Palace and East Palace and leave it to me and King Hejian to take charge."
Li Yuan was stunned, narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you trying to hold our lives in your own hands?"
