The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Everything is going on in an orderly manner." Lao Zhao responded, "Half of the craftsmen in the workshop are busy there every day. The war with the Turks has not affected the Da'an Palace. Although the atmosphere in Chang'an City is a little tense, when the victory news comes, the people are also excited."

Winning the battle is indeed inspiring.

Especially winning against the Turks.

The Turks have come to extort money again and again, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are the ones who suffer the most.

I wish all the Turks would die on the grassland.

"That's good." Li Fu smiled and said, "Everything is in order, so let's continue. What I am most worried about is the farm.

We are not far from the battlefield."

"Old Zhou wrote to say that the farmers are also worried, but they have told them that you are also in the army and you are on the front line. Knowing this news, they are also relieved."

Even the master is in the army to deal with the Turks, what else do they have to worry about?

Isn't the life and property of the master more precious than those of ordinary people?

As long as the master is there, their backbone is there.

In the evening, Li Fu went to bed early. He planned to go to the palace to visit the emperor tomorrow, and then if there was nothing to do in Chang'an City, he would go back to the farm and personally preside over the affairs of the farm.

The next morning, Li Fu entered the palace. After Li Shimin learned the news, he sent someone to invite Li Fu to attend the court meeting.

Li Fu became the only person who was not wearing an official uniform at the court meeting...

Originally, he came here to visit relatives and did not intend to attend the court to discuss matters. He was embarrassed by this matter.

At the court meeting, Changsun Wuji stood up with a tablet in his hand.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than four months. It is better to appoint a new crown prince as soon as possible. In this way, the government can be in order, the world can be benefited, and people's hearts can be settled."

Li Fu looked at Changsun Wuji standing in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

Only Changsun Wuji, the brother-in-law, dared to raise this question.

Li Shimin launched a coup and seized power. He has only been the emperor for four months. Now he is talking about the crown prince. This inevitably makes him think too much.

The word crown prince can stimulate him.

Li Fu looked up at Li Shimin.

The crown prince was also his Changsun Wuji's nephew...

"I have not yet appointed a crown prince, because should I appoint a crown prince based on age or virtue?" Li Shimin looked at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I think they are still young, and it is still unknown whether they are virtuous or foolish. With your Majesty's ability, you will definitely rule for a hundred years, so there is no need to worry too much about whether the crown prince is virtuous or foolish."

Li Shimin thought about it.

He had also thought about the matter of appointing a crown prince, and had discussed it with Changsun.

When the queen was appointed, the couple talked about this issue.

However, Changsun did not say it clearly. At the beginning, she asked Li Shimin to marry Xiao Yang, and Li Shimin mentioned the issue of Li Chengqian's position as crown prince.

Now this issue was raised in the court.

The crown prince must be appointed.

"Okay, appoint him first, but don't crown him first." Li Shimin said.

The Ministry of Rites selected the date, and the palace was well prepared.

On an auspicious day, Li Chengqian will be appointed as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

After the court meeting, Li Shimin kept Li Fu and planned to chat with him.

It was a private chat.

In the palace, the maids served carefully, but they always made mistakes, which made Li Shimin extremely dissatisfied.

"What is going on? You can't do such a small thing well?" Li Shimin scolded.

"Second brother, calm down. There are reasons for things. If one person makes a mistake, it is carelessness. If many people make mistakes many times, there may be something strange." Li Fu said.

"Humph, they were not so careless when the emperor was here." Li Shimin's dissatisfaction was already written on his face.

"The eunuchs and maids in the harem are all managed by the queen's sister-in-law. It's better to let the queen's sister-in-law make the final decision on this matter. Your Majesty, don't get angry for unknown reasons." Li Fu said.

How can those who can serve in the palace be stupid and unintelligent?

Li Fu was thinking, could it be that something happened in the palace? What made these people absent-minded?

As for what happened in the palace, he couldn't say much, so he could only take this opportunity to remind them.

Li Shimin nodded, suppressed his anger, dismissed these people, and continued to chat with Li Fu.

"I know you were going to see the emperor." Li Shimin said, "But I know that after the Turkic matter is over, someone will definitely bring up the issue of establishing a crown prince in the morning court today. This has been brought up more than once or twice."

"Is my second brother unhappy?" Li Fu asked curiously, "Crown prince,The prince will be established in the evening, although my second brother has his own plan in mind, but the court officials don't know. "

"I know this." Li Shimin said.

In fact, today the matter of establishing the prince was determined. Zhangsun Wuji proposed it. Li Shimin said that he completely agreed with it and felt completely comfortable. This was not the case.

But he also understood that this matter had to be done no matter how long it was delayed.

"Li Fu, you know what happened in the palace, and you know more about the things between Prince Xi, Prince Hailing and me." Li Shimin said: "So, in the matter of establishing the prince, I want to be cautious, so that my children will not follow in my footsteps. "

Li Fu sighed.

Don't say it, don't say it.

You have set a bad precedent for your family.

Your son will follow suit in the future.

The succession of the throne of the old Li family is so ill-fated.

"Second brother, behind closed doors, just the two of us, do you want to hear your brother talk to you from the heart?" Li Fu asked.

"Of course, I asked you here, isn't it because I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?" Li Shimin said.

On this issue, he didn't want to say anything more to Changsun Wuji.

It was Li Fu.

They are all from the Li family.

Li Fu is more trustworthy and reliable than his brothers.

"Okay, then I will talk to you about this matter. "Li Fu said.

Everyone in the side hall was sent away by Li Shimin, and now, only the two of them were sitting in the hall.

"Speaking of it, the Tang Dynasty, the two emperors, the emperor emeritus, and you." Li Fu said: "You have set a bad precedent for the succession of the throne."

Li Shimin sighed helplessly when he heard Li Fu say this.

How could he not know.

"The people around you, your old subordinates, all know that it has not been easy to get to this point. You must sit in this position. The struggle between the princes under the emperor emeritus, to say something treasonous, Your Majesty, who do you think is the biggest responsibility?"
