And Li Chengqian’s previous pressure also had a lot to do with this incident!
If His Majesty Li Er didn't favor Li Tai so much, why would he be so worried about giving up the throne to the crown prince?
All I can say is that two bowls of water cannot be held levelly.
His Majesty Li Er may have just wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, but he never imagined that it would turn out like this.
In fact, if someone could explain these matters to His Majesty Li Er, perhaps the current situation would not exist, but after all, this is a matter of stability for the royal family, and even important ministers like Changsun Wuji cannot speak nonsense.
But Su Chen is different. He doesn't have to have so many worries and scruples at all.
Su Chen had already thought about how to explain the situation to His Majesty Li Er, but was not in a hurry to speak.
Moving to the window, Su Chen opened it. The dazzling light from outside instantly filled the entire study. His Majesty Li Er raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"Why do you think Fourth Prince Li Tai did this?" Su Chen turned around and asked.
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was startled at first, and then a tangled look appeared on his face. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that although His Majesty Li Er knew the truth of the matter, he was still unwilling to face it...
Su Chen could understand this. Because of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, His Majesty Li Er had already been left with a serious shadow in his heart.
In the beginning, the reason why he appointed Li Chengqian as the crown prince as soon as he ascended the throne was to avoid the recurrence of fratricide.
Over the years, he has also played the role of a father with all his heart and taught his children personally.
However, no matter how hard he tried, something like this still happened, which really made him feel a little sad.
If His Majesty Li Er had not shown so much love for Li Tai, then Li Tai and the ministers in the court would not have had a wrong understanding, and the current situation would not have happened.
Su Chen's method to solve this problem is also very simple, which is to point out all the wrong behaviors of His Majesty Li Er.
Although this may hit him, it is the most effective!
"However, the reason why Li Tai did this was not because of his true intention, but because someone was instructing him to do so!" Su Chen said with sharp eyes.
"Who is that person?!"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's eyes brightened instantly, and even his majestic aura as an emperor was subconsciously revealed!
In just a moment, the study room was filled with a sense of oppression!
Regarding the fact that someone dares to influence the prince, it almost touches the back of His Majesty Li Er!
Su Chen glanced at His Majesty Li Er lightly and said, "That person is none other than yourself."
What?
That person is actually myself?
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er was confused. How could he let Li Tai do such a thing?
"Yes, all this happened because of you!"
Su Chen looked directly into His Majesty Li Er's eyes and continued: "If you hadn't praised Li Tai many times, broke the rules for him to return the title of prince, and even allowed him to set up a literature hall to recruit bachelors, how could he have done it?
Are you so brave?"
"I know that you are surprised that something like this is happening now, but the ministers in the court don't feel that way."
"In their eyes, if you love Li Tai so much and have expressed satisfaction with the prince, it will give them the illusion that you want to make Li Tai the crown prince!"
His Majesty Li Er frowned and pondered for a while, and then said: "No, I have never thought of abolishing the status of Prince Cheng Qian. Although I was indeed a little dissatisfied with him before, it was just that my expectations for him were too high.
"
"and……"
His Majesty Li Er wanted to continue his defense, but was directly interrupted by Su Chen.
"Don't tell me these words. Do you think if I believe it, will Fourth Prince Li Tai and those ministers believe it?"
As soon as these words came out, His Majesty Li Er was speechless and didn't know how to refute Su Chen.
"If you were Li Tai and were doted on by your father, wouldn't you have any ideas at all?"
"If you were a minister in the court and saw the emperor doting on Li Tai and neglecting the prince, wouldn't you think that the emperor wanted to change the prince?"
"If I'm not wrong, before you came to my place, Changsun Wuji and the others had already told you about the rumors, right? But out of some concerns, they didn't tell you to tell them directly."
"Let me ask you, what is wrong with what I have said above?"
Facing Su Chen's questioning, His Majesty Li Er was unable to refute it.
Su Chen was right. His actions may not be a problem in his own eyes, but in the eyes of others, they are not such a big deal...
"How on earth did you know?" His Majesty Li Er asked in a low tone, his eyes no longer so bright.
“It’s just that the authorities confuse the onlookers.”
Su Chen shook his head and continued: "It is precisely because you show too much love for the fourth prince that those ministers think you want to depose the crown prince and install Li Tai."
"And they are afraid of your status as emperor, so they dare not say these words to you directly, for fear of making a mistake and angering you."
"I think the reason why Cheng Qian was under so much pressure before must be related to your doting on Li Tai."
After saying this, Su Chen stopped talking and looked at His Majesty Li Er quietly, who was deep in thought.
He has made everything clear. As for whether His Majesty Li Er can think about it, it depends on him.
During this period of time, His Majesty Li Er's brows were deeply furrowed, relaxed and then frowned again. His expression kept changing, and he was obviously confused again.
Seeing this, Su Chen was speechless.
Aren't you, Li Er, usually very decisive in doing things, so how could you be so stupid about something like this?
In this regard, Su Chen decided to help him to prevent him from accidentally making the same mistake next time.
Su Chen coughed slightly, interrupted His Majesty Li Er's contemplation, and said, "Actually, I think there is another possibility for what happened this time."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er immediately raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and listened quietly to Su Chen's words.
"I feel that not only I guessed that the Fourth Prince Li Tai did this, but even the ministers also guessed it!"
"And with Li Tai's intelligence, do you think he would not notice this?"
"But why did he have to take the risk and knowingly commit the crime?"
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but breathe a little faster. After Su Chen's guidance, he already understood many things!
Yes, Qingque, why would he do such a stupid thing?
Doesn't he know how terrifying Baiqisi's intelligence capabilities are?
