Six days later, Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan and was also Tang Guogong, wrote a letter asking for the crown prince for his eldest son Li Jiancheng, and the Sui Emperor also agreed.Soon, Li Jiancheng's position as the eldest son was justified, and his position was also unshakable.

The person who was most affected by this incident was Li Shimin, the second son of the Li Clan.After confirming that the news was true, he went back to Taiyuan in the name of celebrating his mother Dou's birthday, but his father Li Yuan only asked him about many things in the south, and did not mention the matter of his son, so Li Shimin could only press his heart. Puzzled and retreated.

In the evening, Li Shimin had just returned from his mother Dou's yard, and there were some things that were inconvenient to mention in front of his father, but he could tell his mother, but Dou didn't know about it beforehand, and Li Yuan never mentioned it to her. She had always thought that the matter of establishing a son would be discussed after adjournment.

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the bright moon, which was mostly covered by dark clouds, with mixed thoughts in his heart.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask Mr. Bai about it, but after hearing what he said, Lao Bai asked rhetorically, "Master, do you intend to be the son of the world?"

Li Shimin paused, but said frankly, "I believe that my ability and talent are not inferior to that of my eldest brother. The position of the son of this world should be occupied by those who are capable."

Old Baiyan looked at him gently with a smile, which made him unable to help but speak out what was in his heart.

"Besides, that day when I helped my family Yan Qi to fight in Taiyuan, he promised that whoever among our brothers could conquer Guanzhong would be crowned prince. At that time, he said to me in private: 'This matter is entirely up to you. If you succeed, the credit will be yours, so you must be established as the son of the world'."

When Li Shimin said this, his eyes were bright, and it could be seen that Li Yuan's words gave him a lot of confidence and courage.

Hearing this, Lao Bai couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart. In the future, the brotherhood between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin might not be the root of the disaster planted by Li Yuan alone. Although Lao Bai sighed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, saying: "I just want to A word of advice, young master, Gu Nian loves brothers and sisters deeply, don't let yourself fall into a dilemma."

Li Shimin was startled, but then he cupped his hands to Lao Bai, "I will remember what you said, sir."

——

"Miss Ye." Li Jiancheng, dressed in a fine attire, walked in excitedly, and said to Ye Li, who was leisurely watching a shadow puppet show in the yard, "My father has made me his son, and His Majesty's imperial edict has been delivered to my residence. "

He originally wanted to call Ye Li the boss, but he changed it to Miss Ye just in case others would find it strange.Even though Li Jiancheng came to announce the good news, Ye Li didn't stop the shadow puppets, but looked at him with a slight smile and said, "You deserve it."

"You're right. I'm the eldest son of the Li family, the rightful heir of the Duke of Tang." Even, if the Li family's uprising succeeds, he will be the crown prince, the future emperor. Can't help raising a glimmer of ambition.

"Leaving home and going to the country for three years, for the magnificent Chang'an in my dream, for the city full of magical adventures, and for fulfilling a man's grand wish. Now I finally return home..."

The opera sung by the entertainer interrupted Li Jiancheng's imagination, he collected his thoughts, and said sincerely to Ye Li who helped him a lot, "Miss Ye, my retainers held a banquet to celebrate my being crowned prince, you Do you want to come too?"

"no need."

Ye Li's indifferent response made Li Jiancheng, who was full of ambition, feel a little displeased, but remembering the other party's mystery, like the tricks of gods and ghosts, he still lowered his posture and did not show anything on his face.

Ye Li glanced coldly, "You have to know, your retainers and staff are in the open, but I am in the dark. Apart from you, it is best not to have another person know of my existence."

Li Jiancheng is not a fool either, so he naturally agreed with Ye Li's words, so he nodded, "Miss Ye, I understand." He didn't know how to do such a trivial matter, and after he finished speaking, he left to celebrate with his retainers up.

A sneer escaped from the corner of Ye Li's lips, the position of a prince is worthy of such a big celebration, and this is where Li Jiancheng's heart is.Over the past few days, Ye Li can be said to be more and more dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng. She is a person with extremely high standards. in the eyes.

But even after discovering Li Jiancheng's various weaknesses, Ye Li did not think about persuading or training him like the Bai family. The Bai family hoped to teach and help Li Shimin become a wise monarch, end the troubled times, and start a new dynasty.But she has always been just for business and to prevent the Bai family from controlling the whereabouts of the Lord of the World. Since Li Jiancheng can't be a good opponent against Li Shimin, he should be a whetstone.

Anyway, good blades have appeared.Ye Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled lightly.

----

After listening to Mr. Bai's words, Li Shimin knew in his heart that it seemed that Mr. Bai had no intention of helping him seize the heir. Although Li Shimin was a little disappointed, but thinking of Mr. Bai's character and behavior that he felt these days, he no longer insisted on it. Let your counselors discuss this matter carefully.As for Mr. Bai, Li Shimin still prefers to regard him as a pure teacher rather than an aide.

Li Shimin bid farewell to Lao Bai respectfully and politely. Lao Bai sighed again in his heart as he watched his leaving back.

----

Chang'an, Tang State Mansion,

In the courtyard, Ye Li suddenly said to the artist behind the curtain who was singing shadow puppetry, "Keep singing, don't stop."

Although those artists were a little puzzled, but because the other party was a nobleman, they continued to sing, and even changed the songs along the way.What they couldn't see was a gentle and elegant young man in white, sitting on the seat beside Ye Li's tea table.

And their conversation was not heard.

"It was you who made Li Jiancheng the crown prince." Lao Bai said with certainty.

Ye Li chuckled, but still watched the shadow play with great interest, "What? I'm disappointed in Li Shimin."

Of course, Ye Li could understand the mood of the Bai family, but he was a little bit disappointed with Li Shimin's ambitions outside of Jijixia. He is willing to pass on his knowledge to him, but Li Shimin may not be the same as the Bai family.

Thousands of people in this world may mostly lean toward the light, but that doesn't mean they are on the same path as the light.

But the disappointment is only a little bit. After all, the Bai family has lived a hundred years or a thousand years longer than the young Ye Li, and they have seen more of these things. A little bit of disappointment and regret will not affect their thinking and actions.

It's just that for the pure and innocent Bai family, even a tiny crack would be obvious.

Lao Bai sighed, "You just influenced Li Yuan's momentary thoughts, it doesn't change anything, what's the point of doing so?"

The corner of Ye Li's lips curled up, "The meaning? The meaning is that I made a pretty good deal, and also, a man of the throne tried out so many things, shouldn't you thank me?"

Even Lao Bai didn't expect that being the son of the eldest son would allow him to see Li Shimin's ambition and his merciless treatment of his elder brother. Of course, it also made Ye Li even more dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng.

In fact, neither Lao Bai nor Ye Li are suitable to be Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin's helpers. Ye Li has high requirements, and the Bai family's requirements will only be higher than her. Although Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin seem to be rare heroes in the eyes of others , but in Laobai's eyes, Ye Li was just average, and even more picky because of the attention he paid to them.

It's just that Ye Li and Lao Bai didn't notice this, or even if they found out, they wouldn't care about it, let alone lower their standards because of it.

"Honestly speaking, your Bai family is not suitable for these intrigues and intrigues. It is better to stop earlier and let me help Li Shimin. I will let him make great achievements, beauties in his arms, and open up a generation of prosperity." Ye Li said softly with a smile,

Lao Bai didn't answer, and Ye Li didn't expect him to answer, just tried it out.Compared with Li Jiancheng, she did value Li Shimin more, not only because of his emperor's luck, but also because of his own mind and artifice.

Lao Bai suddenly said, "He should have been a wise monarch."

The Bai family is still a little impatient. They really hope that the world that has been in troubled times for a long time can return to peace. The world is peaceful, and the desires and negative emotions of the people will disappear accordingly. The No. [-] pawn shop will be more and more resisted by the laws of this world. .

Ye Li's expression returned to indifference, "He will be a qualified monarch, but he is not perfect."

Therefore, he is more suitable for No. [-] pawn shop than the Bai family.

Thinking of this, Lao Bai couldn't help feeling slightly jealous of Ye Li.

"However," Ye Li smiled again, "Instead of worrying about me cheating, why not think about the famous Cihang Jingzhai's win over him."

"I remember that sect was said to be miraculous, representing righteousness and holiness. I thought you would appreciate them."

"You're joking." Lao Bai said with a gentle smile, but in his heart he was a little disappointed because he saw Li Shimin crossing the bridge and demolishing the river in the future, honoring the Tao and despising the Buddha.

Although Ye Li used Cihang Jingzhai as a topic of conversation, he didn't take it seriously like the Bai family. However, thinking of Cihang Jingzhai, Ye Li remembered their deadly enemy, the Yin Gui sect. There is a business to discuss.

Ye Li didn't intend to spend more time on Li Jiancheng, he was just a pawn she used to deal with Li Shimin and the Bai family behind him, and Ye Li would rather spend more time on the pawnshop business.

In fact, the reason why Ye Li chose to intervene in the matter of seizing the heir is simply because he didn't want the Bai family to have too much influence on the future lord of the world, so that it would hinder the business of No. [-] Pawnshop in this world, and even erase it. Mark of.

Whether the world tends to be dark or light, the result is not certain.
