Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing that Li Shimin's attitude turned 180 degrees, he was so kind to him.

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt happy.

It seems that I was right. There are not many people around His Majesty now, so I have to rely on myself.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be in trouble, hesitated for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, if you want to give up Li Chengqian and choose another prince, the only suitable candidates are the fourth prince Li Tai and the ninth prince Li Zhi."

After saying that, he looked at Li Shimin carefully.

When Li Shimin heard the candidate recommended by Changsun Wuji, he pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"tell me your opinion."

Seeing that Li Shimin did not deny it, Changsun Wuji suddenly became convinced:

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince's literary attainments put even minor officials to shame, and his way of governing the country also has merit."

Seeing that the other party mentioned Li Tai clearly and clearly, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Yes, if the prince was to be re-selected, then Li Tai would undoubtedly be the only one among the many sons who could satisfy him. Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji's favorite person turned out to be him. It seems that the other party was not completely considering himself. .

However, before Li Shimin could express his approval, Changsun Wuji suddenly changed the subject and said:

"But His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has an irregular life schedule and poor self-control. If I say something unpleasant, I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, I just said it, this is just a chat between you and me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I will forgive you for speaking frankly."

Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and then he said:

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince is fat and fat, and looks like he will die young. He is not the best candidate for the throne. I am worried..."

Changsun Wuji didn't say what he said next, but Li Shimin already understood.

He clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to run away, and gritted his back molars and said:

"In my opinion, what about my pheasant slave child?"

Seeing that Li Shimin did not get angry on the spot, but instead asked about Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji burst into laughter. It seemed that his weight in Li Shimin's heart had reached such an extent?

With a roll of his eyes, Changsun Wuji coughed lightly and said:

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince Li Zhi is a kind-hearted person. He never joins any cliques. He is low-key and clean. He is also very filial to you and the Queen."

"If the Ninth Prince visits Dabao in the future, the remaining princes can be kept safe."

"On the other hand, the fourth prince has been wooing courtiers everywhere to form his own power. When Gao Ming was still the prince, he wanted to compete with him. And with his character of retribution, if His Majesty succeeds to him in the future, it is hard to say what will happen to the other princes. .”

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin's heart was greatly shaken.

Indeed, Qingque has been extremely strong since he was a child. He doesn't look down on his brother Li Chengqian, who is the same mother as him. How can he look down on his other brothers?

If Changsun Wuji ascends to the throne in the future as he said, it is very likely that none of his brothers will survive.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with sadness.

If I had not allowed Li Chengqian and the queen to murder Li Ke, would I have another successor candidate now?

When he thought of Li Ke, he thought of Concubine Yang, and that he also had a prince, Li Min, who should still be in Lingnan. Should he send someone to check it out?

However, as soon as the thought came up, it was immediately killed.

No matter how Li Min has grown up now, the other party has already been marked with the symbols of Lingnan and Chu Mo. If he is allowed to inherit the throne, then the world may have to change his surname.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin sighed, waved his hands and said:

"That's all, we will discuss this matter later. At the moment, the main ones are Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. I wonder what the auxiliary machine thinks?"

Seeing that Li Shimin dropped the topic of establishing a heir apparent and changed the topic of the five surnames and seven hopes, Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with disappointment, but soon they regained their luster.

"Your Majesty, now we are in a fight to the death with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and there is no possibility of peace talks. For the current plan, Your Majesty should take advantage of the other party before they can escape, mobilize a large army, and encircle and suppress them with all their strength. Stifling it in the cradle is.”

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words and thinking about what Chai Shao said to him before he died, Li Shimin already had a clear understanding in his heart.

He nodded and said:

"The auxiliary machine is right. We should kill them all to prevent the other party from making a comeback in the future and ruining my great cause."

After the words fell, a warning came from outside the camp at the right time:

"Your Majesty, Sun Chong, deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army, would like to see you."

Hearing Changsun Chong's name, a flash of astonishment flashed across Li Shimin's face. Isn't this Changsun Wuji's son?When did you become the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army?Why don't you know this?

Also, the Xuanjia Army has been here for so long, why has the other party kept hiding it?

At this time, Changsun Wuji also noticed Li Shimin's astonishment and hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

"Your Majesty, Changsun Chong's appointment as the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army was made by a group of ministers in the court at an impromptu decision. Due to the tension of the war, Weiwei ministers did not dare to distract your majesty, so they did not inform you. Please forgive me."

Although he said he was sorry, there was no hint of guilt on Changsun Wuji's face. Instead, he looked calm and relaxed.

Li Shimin took a sharp breath, and he finally understood what he had overlooked during this period.

Waving his hands, he pretended to be generous and said:

"It doesn't matter. My dear friends, this is also to share my worries. I feel very relieved."

After saying that, he shouted outside the camp:

"Let him in."

After receiving the instructions, Changsun Chong walked in immediately.

As soon as he entered the door, he first glanced at his father, then bowed respectfully to Li Shimin and said:

"The last general, Sun Chong, has met Your Majesty."

Looking at Changsun Chong, who was wider and fatter than Li Tai, and looking at the armor draped on him that looked like it was about to explode, Li Shimin felt a burst of heartache.

Damn it, Changsun Wuji, if you want to seize power, you should find someone who can see it.

If your eldest grandson comes to fool me, do you really think that I am a fool?

Without the slightest desire to speak, Li Shimin waved his hand directly, asking Chang Sun to retreat, and then said to Chang Sun Wuji in a serious voice:

"Auxiliary machine, Chong'er looks like this. Don't let him run back and forth. This is the position of deputy commander..."

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Weichen asked Chong'er to join the Xuanjia Army is that apart from his loyalty to Your Majesty and his ability to share your Majesty's worries at all times, there is actually another little thought behind it."

"That is, I hope that Chong'er can lose that layer of fat through his experience in the army, so that he can serve His Majesty and the imperial court in the future."
