Li Er knew very well that once he went to heaven, the human dynasty of the Tang Dynasty would have to be looked after by someone.
Originally, he wanted to pass it on to the boss, Li Chengqian.
After all, Li Chengqian was the prince and should have inherited his throne.
But it's unfortunate.
Li Chengqian actually refused.
And I refused plausibly, as if I wanted to seek immortality.
As long as Li Er has no rebuttal, he can't stop Li Chengqian from seeking enlightenment. If his talent is good and he can really become an immortal, that would be a good thing.
At least after the Tang Dynasty, there was an extra protective god.
In comparison, Li Er still believes in Li Chengqian's words. It doesn't matter that he has no talent, but it cannot affect his son.
He felt that his idea was correct and there would be absolutely no problems.
If the eldest son doesn't want to be emperor, he can only choose from the other sons.
It just so happens that Li Er doesn't have many other things, but he has many sons.
That's why there was a scene where all the princes came to meet him, but in comparison, these sons were either unsuitable or simply not useful.
Even his favorite fourth child, Li Tai, is not suitable to be emperor, at least that's what Li Er thinks.
Although I was hesitant and cautious when considering him, I even imagined that Li Tai was the emperor.
But there is no exception.
He still felt that the old man Li Zhi was more suitable to be the emperor. Only a kind and kind person like Li Zhi would not kill all his brothers after becoming the emperor.
If it's the fourth child, Li Tai, then that's not necessarily the case. Maybe everyone in Li Er's lineage will die.
That would be tragic.
To sum up.
After His Majesty Li Er's ideological struggle and careful consideration, he finally decided to make Lao Jiu his successor.
For no other reason than because he is more suitable, that's all.
then.
Li Er said calmly: "Pheasant slave stays, everyone else should leave first."
The princes: "..."
They all knew that the answer they and others had just given probably failed to satisfy their father.
So let them leave now.
In other words, they should have no chance.
The throne may belong to Laojiu Li Zhi, and they are accompanying him.
Some are happy and some are sad.
However, everyone is confused about one thing. Since their arrogant father, His Majesty Li Er, has decided to pass on the throne, he should pass it on to Laojiu Li Zhi.
Then here comes the problem.
What should I do with the boss Li Chengqian?
You know, at this moment the boss, Li Chengqian, is still the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the legal heir.
If Lao Jiu is forcibly put on the throne, what will the boss do? Where will he be placed?
"My son, please leave!"
Although the princes were very confused in their hearts, even though they felt that they did have a new goal after cultivating immortality.
but.
It is undeniable that the throne actually still has great appeal, such as the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
They all still miss it.
It's a pity that he failed to catch Li Er's eye, and finally failed.
That’s it!
It's not bad to become an immortal, it's not bad to become a god, but it's still superior.
now.
After all the other princes went out, Lao Jiu Li Zhi was slightly stunned, but his expression was extremely strange.
He said: "Father, I wonder if you have left a pheasant slave..."
His eyes were full of confusion and questioning. Although he could guess what Li Er was thinking, he was not sure.
He was afraid that he had guessed wrong.
Li Er looked at Li Zhi with great satisfaction and said, "Pheasant slave, you are already ten years old, are you willing to help your father and solve his problems?"
Li Zhi is not very old.
Perhaps because he was born in the royal family, he has been exposed to the whirlpool of political power for a long time, and his mind has matured precociously.
Today's Laojiu Li Zhi looks like a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, like a peerless and elegant scholar.
After hearing Li Er's words, Li Zhi said: "Reporting to my father, I want to help my father solve his problems, but you must also know, my father, that I am not very old, and..."
He wanted to continue to give some reasons to refuse. After all, since ancient times, emperors have been afraid of someone who has been thinking about his throne.
Because to a certain extent, caring about someone's throne means hoping that someone will die soon.
Otherwise, how could you get the throne?
Besides, Li Zhi felt that he was really still young.
He is only ten years old.
Still in vain.
If you think about it carefully, you are not even ten years old, so you are still very young.
What's more, he didn't know if Li Er was testing him.
Li Zhi, who often reads history books, knows very well that many emperors throughout the ages have suffered from serious suspicions in their old age.
Very suspicious.
I always feel that this and that person are thinking about their throne, so I call them to inquire, which also has this meaning.
So even though Li Zhi was young, he was still afraid.
Feeling faintly shivering.
It's just that Li Er didn't discover it.
now.
Li Er continued: "Pheasant slave, you and Douzi are my favorites, but...
But don’t worry, I will definitely let you enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on.”
Li Zhi: "..."
He felt a little vain after listening to Li Er's words.
He quickly said: "Father, in fact, my son just wants to be by your side and his mother's side. There is no need for extreme wealth and splendor.
There is no pocket, and there is still a pheasant slave."
"good."
Li Er nodded, "It's good that you have this mentality, Slave Pheasant, but some things are not as simple as you think.
You must also know some of the situation.
Since the Imperial Master came to the Tang Dynasty, he preached to the world and spread the method of cultivating immortals. Up to now, there are countless people cultivating immortals in the Tang Dynasty.
Some of them are more or less capable.
Some can break mountains and crack rocks, some can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and some are even proficient in the art of endless transformation.
All in all, the Tang Dynasty today has become different, very different from before.
So you have to understand..."
His Majesty Li Er taught Li Zhi tirelessly for an hour, and his words were filled with excitement and spitting foam.
It means that he is stupid.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
After standing for an hour, Li Zhi's face turned pale. If he hadn't been facing the majestic His Majesty Li Er, his legs would have started to tremble at this moment.
But in his heart, Li Zhi kept complaining, "What's going on with my father? Did he leave me alone just to tell me all this?"
In this world, great changes have taken place in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi knows this.
But.
There is no need to keep talking about it.
If it were someone else, Li Zhi might just walk away without bothering to listen.
But Li Er is different.
This is not just his father, but his father-in-law.
In addition to being a father, Li Er also has the status of an emperor.
He is extremely powerful.
It is also so terrifyingly powerful that it turns people away.
After a while.
Li Er finally stopped preaching.
He looked at Li Zhi who was listening happily with a look of relief, and continued: "Pheasant slave, the imperial master came to the palace not long ago. He told me that the heaven has been opened, and he also prepared it for me.
The craftsmen and materials were brought to heaven, and he said he would build a heavenly palace.
Moreover, he also asked me to be prepared. Within a few years at most, the first batch of buildings in the Tiangong should be completed. He asked me to be prepared.
Hahaha!
You may not know that the Imperial Master has promised to be a father. As long as I handle the affairs of the mortal world, I can go to heaven to become the Emperor of Heaven, or even establish the Heavenly Court.
You know the heaven in myths and legends, the one with all kinds of magical legends.
Therefore, I plan to come to you to have a look and tell you about it."
Li Zhi: "..."
He never expected that his father Li Er would explain everything clearly to him straight to the point.
The fundamental purpose.
It's not that Li Er is kind-hearted, or that he thinks his eyesight is dim, but that he misses the Emperor of Heaven.
That's why we are so anxious to pass it on to people.
Li Zhi understood instantly.
But he couldn't laugh or cry, "Father, are you planning to truly pass on the throne?"
"Yeah." Li Er nodded undeniably, which was regarded as admission.
But Li Zhi became more and more confused.
He asked: "Father, eldest brother, he..."
As soon as he mentioned Li Chengqian's arrival, Li Er couldn't help but feel angry. The heir he had worked so hard to cultivate for so many years was gone.
How could he not be angry?
then.
Li Er said with a dark face: "Okay, Slave Pheasant, don't talk about him anymore. I'll tell you clearly. I want to pass on his position to you."
"..."
Although Li Zhi had guessed it earlier with his intelligence.
But.
When Li Er said these words himself, he couldn't help but feel excited.
His father actually wanted to pass the throne to him.
hiss!
Doesn't it mean that my father recognizes me?
So, what should the elder brother do?
"Father, my sons and ministers are terrified."
Li Zhi quickly knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "My son is still young and cannot take on such an important responsibility. Even if the eldest brother is not suitable, there is always a suitable one among all the brothers. Besides..."
He wanted to continue saying something, but was interrupted directly by Li Er, "Wait a minute, Pheasant slave, are you scared?
Or do you think you can’t be an emperor at all?”
Isn't it just to be an emperor?
How many people asked for it but couldn't get it. Countless people thought about it day and night, or even dreamed about it, but when it came to Li Zhi, they couldn't do it?
Li Er was somewhat discouraged.
At this moment.
Li Zhi explained quietly, "When I return to my father, I just feel that I am still young and may not be able to take on a big responsibility, and I am afraid that my father's plans will be ruined."
"It doesn't matter."
After hearing this reason, Li Er smiled and said: "I'm just telling you now. In a few days, I will issue an imperial edict to pardon you and make you the prince. Let you get familiar with it first.
As for the actual time of passing on the throne, it may still be a few years away. By then you will be a teenager and an adult.
As for whether someone will bully you when you are young, there is no need to worry about this. Firstly, I will take the older generation to heaven, and secondly, I will establish heaven in heaven. The emperor of heaven can also take care of the mortal world.
of.
To be precise, from now on I will be the Emperor of Heaven, the supreme divine king, who rules over the three realms of heaven, earth and man.
Do you understand?
With me as your backer, who dares to bully you?"
Um?
After listening to Li Er's words, Li Zhi felt his eyes light up.
Although what Li Er said was a bit inappropriate and out of time, it was also right.
After his father sits on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, who dares to bully his young self?
As for saying that your cultivation will stagnate after becoming emperor, this is not a problem at all.
As the saying goes, in order to gain, you must first lose.
Li Zhi still understands this truth.
Not to mention that the throne itself is the ultimate in wealth and honor in the world, so there is nothing wrong with it.
"Moreover, I can abdicate in the future and pass the throne to someone else early. With my relationship with my father, the emperor and my mother, it will be easy for them to take me to heaven."
Li Zhi thought secretly, "In short, being the emperor will not do any harm to me. This is a good thing."
After thinking about these situations, Li Zhi respectfully said to Li Er: "Father, my son is willing to help my father solve his problems, but I hope my father will give me more guidance."
After hearing Li Zhi's answer, Li Er knew that his plan should be successful.
call!
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Pheasant slave, it would be great if you think so."
Mainly because Li Chengqian was unwilling.
He could only choose to be taller among the short ones. Li Zhi was the son of him and Empress Changsun. He was considered a top choice in terms of looks, talents and abilities, as well as the way he dealt with people.
Although it is not the ultimate, it is enough to be a conscientious king.
After four or five years, maybe the position can be passed on.
Li Er expressed that he was looking forward to it.
For no other reason than that, he just wanted to establish heaven as soon as possible and become a figure in myths and legends as soon as possible.
