Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

The purpose of doing this is to ensure the interests of the eldest grandson's family and control this cowardly emperor.

But Li Shimin didn't know this. Li Shimin, who didn't believe in destiny and retribution, hesitated at this moment.

He was afraid that the rumor would become reality.

The prince's rebellion has been verified, and what follows is brother-in-law, father-son and son-in-law.

He couldn't imagine what would happen next.

Chapter 2 One Crown Prince, Two Imperial Edicts

"I am also responsible for the crown prince's success today." Li Shimin said while sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a sad expression on his face.

"This matter really needs to be decided early."

With the lesson of Li Chengqian taking the lead in rebellion, Li Shimin knew that he had to deal with it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the ministers would be forced to stand in line, staged a scene of brotherhood, and the entire court would be in turmoil.

"I'm getting old, and my body is getting worse day by day."

Li Shimin's expression was calm, as if he had thought of something.

Several important ministers were a little confused, and just wanted to comfort them, but they were interrupted by Li Shimin.

"I have made a decision on this matter.

I will prepare two secret decrees later.

One is the imperial decree for the establishment of the fourth prince, and the other is for the ninth prince.

The other one is the imperial decree to establish the ninth prince as the crown prince, and this one is given to the fourth prince.

The two princes will get each other's imperial edict. "

After all, Li Shimin's eyes flashed brightly.

Two imperial edicts were handed over to the two princes, but each received the other's imperial edict to pass on the throne.

There is only one crown prince, and there are only two paths before them.

One is to give it a go, change your name, and read it in front of everyone.

The second is to take into account the brotherhood, the relationship between father and son, and leave silently.

Rather than waiting for the two princes to fight each other in the future, it is better to take advantage of being still alive to prevent all this and directly put the conflict in front of each other.

clever!

It's so clever!

In an instant, everyone understood Li Shimin's plan.

It's just too difficult to pass this test.

Wei Zheng quickly objected: "Your Majesty, you are not joking, what if the two princes read out the imperial decree?"

Isn't it a joke to promulgate the decree of setting up two princes?

It is unreliable to test the character of the two princes with the will of establishing a prince, okay?

Besides, if the two princes have changed their names, what should they do?

There is only one crown prince, and one has to be chosen.

"Is there still not enough jokes?" Li Shimin was angry.

He didn't want to think of the worst, but it was indeed likely to be true.

"Then I can only cruelly tell the person who announced it first to forge the imperial decree, and they will never be recalled from exile on the frontier."

"Do you have any questions, dear?"

If the two princes changed their names regardless of brotherhood.

Those who announce first will be told to forge imperial decrees and find excuses to exile on the frontier.

The character of the latter one is slightly better than that of the former one, but it is only fifty steps and a hundred steps.

But Li Shimin has done this, Wei Zheng has no doubts: "Your Majesty is wise."

The important ministers have no doubts at this time, they can only urge this kind of thing.

Changsun Wuji wanted to speak, but so many people didn't dare, and he had asked before, but it didn't work.

Therefore, he can only make small moves in a sneaky manner, making stones, making rumors and so on.

"Come here, draw up an order." Li Shimin called a eunuch and said.

"I feel that the dragon's body is gradually weakening, and I am afraid that time will not be long, so I appointed the crown prince to the fourth prince Li Tai."

After the eunuch finished writing, Li Shimin reviewed it, sealed it up, and handed it over to a young eunuch.

"This secret decree is given to the Ninth Prince, there is no need to read it out." Li Shimin urged.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, the little eunuch waited beside him.

"Designation." Li Shimin said again: "I feel that the dragon's body is gradually weakening, and I fear that time will not be long, so I appointed the crown prince to the Ninth Prince Li Zhi."

After Li Shimin looked it over, he handed it to another eunuch, and said: "This secret decree is handed over to the fourth prince, there is no need to read it out."

"After finding the prince, I secretly said that I had a stroke and was lying on the bed, unconscious. Let them make plans early and go down." Li Shimin waved his hand casually.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two eunuchs went out together and ran towards the side hall.

"Where is the imperial army?"

"The minister is here!" The commander of the Imperial Forest Army appeared in front of Li Shimin.

"Let the dark guards keep an eye on the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince. I want to know his every move at any time."

Li Shimin ordered with a serious expression.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After hearing this, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly arranged to go.

"All dear friends, follow me to the main hall and witness together."

Li Shimin led the way and led the ministers to the main hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty." All the officials responded and followed Li Shimin.

......

Soon, the two little eunuchs found their messengers.

"Your Highness Nine, Your Majesty has a secret order." A eunuch found Li Zhi who was in the side hall.

"Secret decree?" Li Zhi frowned, not knowing what medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, could it be the matter of setting up the crown prince?

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but get excited.

According to the thinking of previous years, he had no chance at all.

But not long ago, there was a stone engraved with "Ji Ke An" in Taiyuan.

Coupled with the favor of his uncle Changsun Wuji, this made him see hope again

"Go, go to a secluded place." Li Zhi led the little eunuch out of the side hall while speaking.

"Your Highness, the Holy Majesty suffered a stroke and lay paralyzed on the bed. The imperial doctor said that time is running out, and made a secret decree. I hope His Highness will make plans early!!"

The little eunuch showed grief on his face, and after finishing his prepared remarks, he taught Li Zhi the sealed imperial decree, and left in a hurry.

Father's time is numbered? ?

stroke?This is also too fast.

There was a 'boom' in Li Zhi's mind, and grief appeared on his face.

Before he had time to think about it, his imagination was aroused by the secret decree in his hand and the interruption.

But what does this decree mean?

Could it be that he established himself as the prince, otherwise why did he pass the imperial decree to himself? ?

That rumor, that stone, and last night's rebellion, and the stroke.

At this moment, Li Zhi's mind was full of thoughts, and his head started to go crazy.

That's right, father must have believed in the destiny, so he passed it on to himself.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and the more he thought about it, the greater his hope.

He was originally timid and cowardly, but now his ambition spread like fire in his heart.

Thinking of this, the grief on his face has not dissipated, and he showed ecstasy again.

The moment he opened the imperial decree with joy, his whole body was petrified.

The majestic ambition and joy all turned into panic at this moment, and the name written on it turned out to be Li Tai's name.

Lost, puzzled, and unbelievable, he watched it over and over again.

Why isn't my name on it?

Since it's not your own name, why give yourself a copy?

Suddenly, he understood something.

Could it be...could it be said that the meaning of early planning is to let yourself leave and avoid brother-in-law? ?

At this moment, Li Zhi seemed to have figured something out, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Could it be that the father loves Li Tai so much and doesn't love himself at all?

With all kinds of past events, the scene of his father doting on Li Tai flashed in his mind.

Weiwang Pond and Weiwang Dike... Every year, there are countless visitors, and countless people write poems.

Everyone in the world knows that Li Shimin loves Li Tai.

Do you want to give up and leave like a lost dog?

Li Zhi thought for a long time, and a wave of hatred flooded his face.

Not reconciled!

Why did my father give all of his father's favor to his elder brother Li Tai?

Now the throne must be given to my brother?

Did he just pick it up?

It doesn't matter if you can't love Li Tai, even Princess Jinyang.

And let yourself leave the imperial city early! !

Why, am I not your own son?

Not reconciled! !

Not reconciled to death! !

But what can he do?

The ambition that had not yet blossomed was immediately extinguished by a plate of cold water.

Grievance, unwillingness, pain... like vines covered with poisonous thorns tightly wrapped around his heart.

His eyes were red, tears were blurred, he felt extremely painful, and he couldn't breathe.

Looking at the imperial decree in his hand, he suddenly remembered what his uncle Changsun Wuji said to him.

"As long as you are obedient and obedient, I promise to let you sit on the throne."

Like a ray of sunlight passing through, tightly wrapped poisonous vines.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and a bold idea appeared.

Paralyzed by stroke, unable to speak, saliva, unable to move in bed.

The father couldn't move, so the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty was his uncle, eldest grandson Wuji.

And my uncle supported me!
