Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Following their movements, the Dragon God Gu seemed to sense something and slowly squirmed. Its head, with its eyes tightly closed, made muffled sounds of pain. Its tail, which had just been rescued, immediately inserted itself into Zhao Tuo's mutated tail, making a slight "puff" sound.

This action was too sudden and startled everyone. Jiang Shangxian's legs, which were already numb from squatting, fell to the ground as her body leaned back. If Cui Bianxu had not quickly pulled her up, she might have fallen down.

Jiang Shangxian pointed at the tail in shock. He quickly glanced at the Dragon God Gu's head, confirming that it still had its eyes closed. Then he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Qiqige couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and answered happily in a low voice: "A lot of its energy has been sucked away, and now is the perfect time to get it back."

As she spoke, she glanced at the public Gu with some displeasure: "Otherwise, I'm afraid they will all be snatched away!"

The moment the Dragon God Gu began to absorb energy, the male Gu's small wings vibrated desperately, making it possible to see at a glance how hard it was working.

Cui Bianxu withdrew his hand and sat down on the ruins. He closed his eyes and wanted to rest for a while. But after all this trouble, he became energetic again. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He kept thinking in his mind. With the strength Zhao Tuo had just displayed, he should not be restrained by this box. What material is it made of?

Of course, these are not the most important.

There are only two problems left before them now: getting out and King Jin.

Since Qi Qi Ge said that the Dragon God Gu can get them out, there shouldn't be any problem. Then the only one left is King Jin.

The previous series of changes had left him no time to think about what Jiang Shangxian said, that the Prince of Jin would become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

That means that both the Crown Prince and the King of Wei lost in the battle for the crown prince. With Zhangsun Wuji around, the King of Jin, the only legitimate nephew, is the best choice to be the next emperor.

But the current Prince of Jin is no longer the Prince of Jin. His becoming the emperor will definitely be a huge test for himself and Jiang Shangxian.

The fact that he followed her all the way to Lingnan was enough to prove that he cared about Jiang Shangxian and was determined to win him over.

But he would never give his wife to anyone else.

Then, the best way is not to let Prince Jin sit on the throne!

He exhaled, opened his eyes and wanted to talk to Jiang Shangxian - since she knew the development of history, then besides Prince Jin, which other prince was more likely?

As for the King of Wei and the Crown Prince...

To be honest, he was not optimistic about either of them. One of them treated human life as worthless and plotted with the names of innocent people. If this person ascended to the throne, it would be a disaster for the people of the world.

The Crown Prince, though he had never made a mistake in handling state affairs, was truly foolish to be so easily manipulated. Furthermore, his temperament had changed drastically in recent years, and he spent his days engaging in irrelevant activities, showing no sign of being a wise ruler.

If you want to choose a side, you can only choose from the remaining princes.

Jiang Shangxian noticed that his gaze was a little strange. Why didn't he take a rest for a while? He tilted his head and was about to speak when he was pulled into his arms. The couple instantly became close to each other.

Zhao Shan, clutching his teeth, hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves, turned around and stepped back several steps, saying indignantly, "In broad daylight, are we supposed to be dead? This is truly disgraceful!"

It’s too shameful to look at!

He is not jealous!

Seeing this, the others also took a few steps back, and a few guards even retreated ten meters. They exchanged glances and joked with each other.

Jiang Shangxian blushed a little, but luckily she was thick-skinned, so she didn't struggle after a light punch: "Why don't you rest?"

It prevented others from having a good rest.

Cui Bianxu said carelessly: "I'm too lazy to move, so it's just right to ask them to move."

He doesn't want to move at all now, so he'd better sit as long as possible.

Jiang Shangxian tilted his head to look at him: "Is there something wrong?"

She wouldn't believe that they were suddenly so intimate with each other without any reason!

Cui Yi is not such a person!

"There is something."

Cui Bianxu touched his nose, sighed, and whispered in her ear: "Prince Jin cannot die here."

King Jin...

Jiang Shangxian remembered that there was also Gao Yu!

During the thrilling battle, she had completely forgotten about this person!

Cui Bianxu continued, "You said, if we were to find one among the other princes...we need to make plans early on."

"Absolutely impossible! If both the Prince of Wei and the Crown Prince are unsuccessful, even if Your Majesty hesitates, he will eventually pass the throne to the Prince of Jin."

Jiang Shangxian was very sure about this. In addition to the support of Zhangsun Wuji, Li Zhi was the legitimate son of the previous queen. According to the system of primogeniture, which had its prototype in the Xia and Shang dynasties and was used until the Ming and Qing dynasties, Li Zhi was the best candidate when his first two legitimate brothers were out!

Even if Li Shimin wanted to choose a son born out of wedlock, the officials in the court would not support him.

What's more, the Xuanwu Gate seizure of the throne was definitely a thorn in Li Shimin's side. In order to avoid another turmoil and civil unrest over the throne, the three forces behind Li Zhi, representing the founding fathers, political newcomers, and the military, were not something Li Shimin could take lightly.

Cui Bianxu lowered his head and pondered carefully for a while. Soon he came up with a solution: "How long will it take?"

This was a question about how long Li Shimin could live. This question didn't even require counting on one's fingers. Jiang Shangxian gave a direct answer: "July of the 23rd year of Zhenguan."

"Ten more years? When will the battle for the crown prince be settled?"

"The official enthronement will be in April of the 17th year of Zhenguan, which is about four years away." These are all contents that need to be memorized, but Jiang Shangxian doesn't need to think at all, he can just blurt them out.

Cui Bianxu calculated the days and immediately felt relieved. "If that's the case, there's no need to rush. Within four years, I'll find a way to take advantage of the conflict between the King of Wei and the Crown Prince..."

He just couldn't believe that as the competition for the crown prince position became increasingly fierce, he would not be able to find a way to drag the Prince of Jin into the water. By then, he could find a way to distance himself from it and avoid taking sides.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

"No."

Jiang Shangxian refused decisively. She had already thought about this issue: "History cannot be changed, especially the official history of the dynasty. Otherwise..."

She doubted that she even existed.

Not only myself, but countless people in the future may disappear out of thin air.

What's more, Li Zhi's contributions to history are obvious to all. If another emperor were to take over, who knows whether it would be good or bad?

All history will change as a result. The consequences are too great for her to bear.

Cui Bianxu didn't understand the butterfly effect. He only focused on the present. While ensuring his own safety, he chose the prince with the most outstanding moral character as his assistant. If he could win, everything would be fine and his descendants would benefit from it.

If you are unlucky and bet on the wrong horse...
