The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1052

However, after Xun Qinwang left, Li Yuan thought about Li Zhi's plan to abdicate in favor of this man.

He absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

If Xun Qinwang could sit in that position, why can't I?

Is he not even as good as Xun Qinwang?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, especially after receiving a threat from that guy.

He felt even more unhappy.

He simply overturned a water glass on the desk and knocked it to the ground.

The water glass shattered instantly.

The guards quickly came up and cleaned up the shattered pieces.

Li Yuan shouted, "Enter the palace!"

Now he doesn't need to be summoned to attack; he can just go in whenever he wants.

Because everyone already knew that Li Zhi was "seriously ill".

He is now too ill to manage state affairs.

Everything was left to Xu Tian to handle.

Li Yuan felt that Xu Tian's fingerprints were difficult to deal with.

But he never became an emperor.

Therefore, compared to someone who can give orders, Xu Tian was merely a servant.

Therefore, there is nothing to fear.

Li Yuan didn't take Xu Tian seriously at all.

However, he now has to speed things up and get Li Zhi dead as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in a very difficult situation if he is attacked from both sides.

He might find himself in a dilemma at that point.

Li Yuan arrived at the palace and knelt down beside Li Zhi's sickbed.

Li Zhi looked pale and terminally ill, and his voice was weak.

Although he has now woken up, he is no different from a dead man.

This is what Li Yuan believes in his heart.

Because he hoped that Li Zhi could die as soon as possible.

After arriving here, he continued to ask Li Zhi, "Ninth Emperor, who is the person you truly want to abdicate in your heart?"

Although I already knew about this candidate from them beforehand.

But now he wants to get this confirmation from Li Zhi himself.

Li Zhi slightly opened his mouth.

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

He said, "Xun Qinwang!"

It seems like he originally considered you to be the person he trusted most.

After saying this, he chuckled softly.

"Among those in the capital, only Xun Qinwang is worthy of this throne. If this position is not given to him, it will only cause turmoil throughout the land."

"How could the court officials possibly be satisfied?"

Upon hearing this news, Li Yuan frowned deeply.

Regardless of whether Li Zhi had made a decision or not, he could not allow this to actually happen.

When Li Zhi received a definitive answer—that the abdicated person was a descendant of Xun Qinwang—he was completely devastated.

After leaving Li Zhi's palace, he went directly to the residence of the imperial physician Bao Ze.

In broad daylight, Li Yuan arrived at Bao Ze's place, and Bao Ze had someone carefully close the courtyard gate.

Li Yuan spoke frankly.

"Lord Bao, you should know why I have come to see you this time?"

At this point, Li Yuan sighed softly.

"However, because of what happened before, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible."

Li Yuan looked at Bao Ze with utter disdain.
