And the reason why he dared to do this was to test his own attitude!
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er suddenly realized!
First, because of his unclear doting on Li Tai, many people thought that he might need to change the crown prince.
Then because he suddenly wanted to choose a concubine for the prince, some people thought that the prince had angered them and wanted to find an excuse to drive him out of the palace.
Faced with these two situations, Li Tai also had thoughts about the position of crown prince, which eventually led to the current rumors!
Seeing His Majesty Li Er's ever-changing expression, Su Chen knew that all his hard work was not in vain, and couldn't help but smile with relief.
Lao Li, since you understand the truth, I won't say anything more. You can think about the rest by yourself.
After muttering secretly to himself, Su Chen quietly exited the study room, preparing to get some tea and snacks to reward himself.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was the only one left in the huge study, deep in thought alone.
Su Chen's words seemed to open a door to a new world for him, allowing him to see many things that he had never noticed before.
It turns out that every move I make will be watched and speculated by so many people.
As the emperor of this country, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me.
If you cannot properly express your father's love, it will cause a series of terrible consequences.
After Su Chen's guidance, he had even thought of part of Li Tai's psychological journey.
If this rumor plan succeeds, then what awaits him is the position of crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if he fails, given how much I love him, it may only be a few words of blame.
When he thought of this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but become entangled again.
After all, Li Tai is his and Empress Changsun's biological son. How could he really punish him seriously?
However, if he does not handle this matter strictly, then Li Tai will still have the idea of seizing the throne.
Now that I am still in my prime, I don’t have to worry about the antagonism between my parents and my children, but what if I wait until I am old, or even go to the west?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, brothers and sisters will fight each other and fight for imperial power will still happen...
If it really comes to that point, wouldn't everything he and Su Chen do have the possibility of being wasted?
His Majesty Li Er shivered coldly, and felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.
When Su Chen came back, he happened to see his somewhat embarrassed side and understood his inner anxiety.
"It's okay, Lao Li. It's not too late to find your way back!"
Su Chen poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.
His Majesty Li Er took the teacup, took a sip, and asked: "What do you think I should do with Qingque?"
Su Chen said somewhat casually: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and you will be severely punished!"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle.
Li Tai was one of his favorite heirs, and he still couldn't bear to ask him to punish Li Tai severely.
As if he had anticipated His Majesty Li Er's inner thoughts, Su Chen said calmly: "I understand, you still love Li Tai too much, so you can't bear to punish him too much."
"Human desires are infinite. You must also know how fatal the throne is to the prince!"
"If you don't punish Li Tai severely today, then tomorrow not only Li Tai will have ideas for the throne, but even other princes will follow his example!"
"A thousand-mile cave collapses in an ant nest. If the Tang Dynasty is full of battles, how can we conquer other territories?"
"In this way, the progress of the Tang Dynasty will be curbed!"
"This isn't what you want to see, is it?"
After listening to Su Chen's words, His Majesty Li Er's expression gradually became firmer, and he seemed to agree with Su Chen's statement.
Yes, if he is soft-hearted for a moment today, it will lead to a Tang Dynasty full of ups and downs!
He is an ambitious emperor who wants to do something unprecedented and great!
If all this is affected by the internal fighting among the princes, then he will definitely not be reconciled!
After pondering for a long time, His Majesty Li Er struggled with his expression and said with a somewhat painful but firm tone: "Okay! I know what to do!"
"When I go back, I will immediately send Qingque back to his fiefdom, and he will not be allowed to return to Chang'an without my permission!"
Su Chen was not surprised when he heard these words. It was indeed similar to what he expected.
Li Er is a person who wants to achieve great things after all. As long as the pros and cons are clearly sorted out, he will become very determined!
With his temperament, it was naturally impossible to execute Li Tai, and expelling him from Chang'an was the greatest punishment he could achieve.
Su Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Li, I know how you feel, but for the sake of the overall situation, you can only do this!"
"You have to know that when people gain something, they lose something."
"Every gain must come with a loss. Even if you are the emperor, it is inevitable. Just think about it."
His Majesty Li Er said nothing, just glanced at Su Chen quietly, and then sighed in a low voice.
"Tell me, what is Cheng Qian's current situation? If he really likes men as we suspected, how should we solve it?"
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately lost his guard.
Originally, he wanted to continue to comfort His Majesty Li Er, but who would have thought that His Majesty Li Er would unexpectedly give him such a difficult problem.
If he could find a way to break up Li Chengqian, how could he get drunk with His Majesty Li Er last time?
Su Chen rubbed his forehead with a headache, and sighed helplessly, saying, "I can't say anything about this, I can only take it one step at a time."
Upon hearing such an answer, His Majesty Li Er was not disappointed, but the expression on his face became increasingly bitter.
If Li Chengqian really only likes men, then the reputation of his old Li family is completely over.
His current requirements for Li Chengqian are not too high. He does not expect him to change his sexual orientation. He only hopes that he can find a woman to get married and pass on his bloodline.
In that case, everything has not reached the worst point yet. As long as he and Su Chen arrange things well, everything can continue to be on the right track.
Su Chen's thoughts at this time were the same as His Majesty Li Er's, as long as Li Chengqian could marry and have children.
"Let's do this. From today on, we will send people to follow Cheng Qian and monitor his every move. If he shows any signs of something wrong, we will arrest him directly!" Su Chen said.
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said: "It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."
