Chapter 1106 Lao Jiu (Subscription Request)

However.

Although there is progress, the choice of the emperor cannot be made rashly.

Although he has a little understanding and decision in his heart, he still thinks that he should take a look at these sons.

It is also good to understand them again.

So.

Li Er continued: "Wang De, please give seats, let the princes sit down and talk."

"Yes."

Wang De had to obey the order and called his eunuchs to bring some chairs.

But in this situation.

The hearts of the princes became more and more frightened, they were afraid that something big would happen.

What if this is just the calm before the storm.

But what should we do.

Hiss...

After thinking of this, a prince hurriedly said: "Father, I wonder why you asked us to come here?"

They were still very curious.

Calling people here with such a big fanfare must be something big.

Or, their father should have something to announce?

Therefore, many people's eyes became bright and energetic. Li Er called them all here, indicating that this matter also had something to do with them.

Li Er glanced at these people and said, "I know you are confused. This time, I asked you to come here just because I want to ask your opinions on some things."

"Father, please speak."

Li Tai was the first to express his opinion. He thought he had seized the opportunity and should be able to attract his father's attention.

Other princes followed suit and said respectfully, "Father, please speak. Your sons and ministers are all ears."

Li Er's face was still calm, as if he didn't hear Li Tai's words, "Since you all asked so, I will talk to you."

So.

Li Er continued to speak and asked, "The first question: Do you want to be the emperor?

If you have thought about it, you can tell me directly."

The princes: "..."

Isn't this too scary.

Isn't it too taboo for my father to ask this question?

After all, Li Chengqian is still the prince, after all, they don't have any ability.

It is absolutely false to say that they have no idea about the throne.

But in front of your Second Majesty, they can't say it too clearly, that would be too embarrassing.

Besides, His Majesty Li Er is still watching.

This question is not easy to answer.

If you answer it well, it will be a free point question, but if you answer it badly, it will be a death question.

In comparison, they think this question is a test from Li Er.

Maybe he is waiting for everyone's answer.

Although I don't know whether the guess in my heart is true or false, it is definitely true.

Indeed.

His Majesty Li Er did have the intention of testing. He wanted to see what his useless sons thought.

He could tell the truth from the false at a glance.

For a while.

All the princes looked at each other, and they didn't like each other.

And when Li Chengqian was still there, and his position as the crown prince still existed, no one dared to act rashly.

So naturally no one would say that he wanted to be the emperor.

If that happens, I'm afraid it will cause the wrath of His Majesty Li Er.

Anyway, the princes present all felt that Li Er's question just now was definitely a test for them.

The princes were not fools.

So they all spoke up.

"In reply to your father, I have never thought about becoming an emperor. In my opinion, it would be fine to be an ordinary free and easy prince."

"Yes, I also think so. I hope your father can see clearly."

"I have never dared to covet the throne. Brother Gao Ming is young and strong, and he is gentle, talented, and the prince is the only choice for the throne of the emperor."

"Yes, I also think that I should fully support my elder brother."

"My elder brother is the prince, so he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"..."

Hearing the words of these bastard sons, Li Er was inexplicably helpless.

His face was not ugly.

These people probably thought that he, Li Er, was just testing people's hearts.

But they didn't know.

He really wanted to know what the princes thought, and if possible, he wanted to hear their opinions.

After a while.

The hall fell silent, and the princes looked at each other, and they were a little amused.

It was hard to explain.

Their thoughts were really surprising, and really terrifying.

Li Er had no choice but to continue: "Since you don't say anything, then follow the order and tell us your reasons."

"..."

His Majesty Li Er's words made people very angry and amused.

That's it.

Now everyone can't run away.

No one can escape, and everyone has to talk.

As for what his father wants to hear, he can only guess it by his own means.

Guessing it is a good thing, and not guessing it is a bad thing. If you are not careful, you may be finished.

It is related to their future, and the future is still very important.

After sorting, the third brother Li Ke is the oldest, and now it is his turn to speak.

Li Ke actually knew very well that no matter what Li Er thought, he could never become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if he was extremely talented, even if he was very capable, because his mother was Concubine Yang, the blood flowing in his body was from the previous dynasty.

So naturally, he can't be the emperor, and he won't have the chance to be the emperor.

Thinking of this.

Li Ke stood up respectfully and said: "Father, I am your third son, but I believe you are also very clear that because of my blood, I know that I will never have the chance to be the emperor. I probably won't be the emperor in this life.

Because of these reasons, I dare to say, Father, in fact, I don't have any idea about the throne, and I gave up many years ago."

Li Er: "..."

Have I been treating this son harshly over the years?

For a moment.

Li Er still felt guilty about her son Li Ke. After all, he was not her and Empress Changsun's child, so she didn't care and take care of him as much as Li Chengqian and others.

It was certain that he was lame.

As soon as Li Ke said he wanted it, the fourth prince Li Tai felt strange.

Without Li Ke in front, he smiled.

But he was different.

Because he, Li Tai, was the son of Li Er and Empress Changsun, and could be regarded as a legitimate child.

And for so many years, he has been competing with Li Chengqian for favor, hoping to get the favor of His Majesty Li Er.

It is not unknown to take this opportunity to get involved in the lofty throne.

Thinking of this, Li Tai had to hurriedly stand up and explain: "Father, I don't have any idea about the throne of the emperor.

Besides, isn't my eldest brother the crown prince? If he wants to be the emperor, it should be him."

It's not Li Tai's turn anyway.

Thinking of this, Li Tai's heart was inevitably a little contradictory, but at this moment he had no way.

Seeing that Li Er was still looking at him, Li Tai continued to say faintly: "Father, every word of my son's bitter words is from the heart, I hope you can see clearly."

See a ghost.

Li Er almost fell over with anger.

He originally thought that the fourth son Li Tai had some ideas about the throne, at least he should be brave enough to answer the question just now.

But Li Tai's answer just now really disappointed him.

"It's simply unteachable."

Li Er secretly gave Li Tai a label, which didn't seem to be very good.

They are all a group of guys who dare to think but not to do, a group of waste.

For a moment.

Li Er actually complained about these people coming, and was really angry at their lack of struggle and hated their lack of courage.

Many people probably thought that it was all him, Li Er, who was testing, but in fact, did he need to test like this?

It's not necessary at all.

Next.

The fifth son, the sixth son, the seventh son, and even the eighth son began to answer.

Everyone's words were nothing more than the same meaning, that is: because of various reasons, they didn't want to and couldn't be the emperor.

As for who would be the emperor, they also made it clear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian was still the crown prince and had not given up, so it was most suitable for him to inherit the throne.

The meaning of these princes made His Majesty Li Er want to stare at them to death several times, if this was feasible.

"If Gao Ming was willing to be the emperor and willing to take over, why would I be so difficult."

What a group of hateful guys.

Soon, it was the turn of the ninth son, Li Zhi. He raised his head weakly and first glanced at the many ministers and his brothers who were intercepted.

Then, Li Zhi said: "Father, I am loyal to you. Even if you give me a thousand courage, I dare not think about it."

There must be no mistakes in this regard.

"But..."

The ninth son, Li Zhi, continued: "But if you really have an idea, I am still willing to sacrifice myself and listen to your advice."

That's right.

Finally, a rival has come.

Great.

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said: "Chi Nu, I didn't expect that you still understand me better. Among so many people, only you dare to say this, haha!"

The princes: "..."

They suddenly realized that they seemed to have missed something.

But they couldn't figure out what they missed, because Li Er didn't say it clearly.

The ninth prince Li Zhi was also slightly stunned. He said, "Father, do you think what I said is right?"

In fact, he was just talking nonsense.

He never thought that His Majesty Li Er would agree with him very much, and he never thought that Li Er would praise him like this.

I was really overjoyed.

This is a bit embarrassing. Li Zhi quickly added: "Father, whatever you say is right, and I will only listen to you."

The implication is: if you want him, Li Zhi, to be the emperor, then he will be the emperor; if you don't need him to be the emperor, then he won't be the emperor.

Anyway, Li Zhi is also very clear that who will be the emperor is actually just a matter of his father's thoughts.

Whoever he says can be the emperor, then he can be the emperor.

If he says who can't be the emperor, then this person really can't be the emperor.

Many people envy the ninth prince Li Zhi. Look, this is the real simplicity in the emperor's heart.

The ninth prince Li Zhi is really not simple.

Although, these princes don't know the purpose and significance of Li Er's questions just now.

However, they knew that the ninth brother, Li Zhi, might become prosperous, and the answer just now was the best proof.

As expected.

The next moment, Li Er continued to ask: "Second question: What do you think of the current environment of the Tang Dynasty?"

This question is very big.

It is also very vague.

But the main target of the question is Li Zhi, and Li Er's eyes are mainly on him.

For a while.

Li Er also looked forward to Li Zhi's answer. What would he think of himself, the ninth son?

He was really looking forward to it.

"Perhaps, Zhinu will really give me an unexpected surprise?"

His Majesty Li Er thought about it in his heart, "If Zhinu is really possible, he should be able to be a conservative emperor with his character.

In this way, even if I go to heaven and rebuild the heaven, I can rest assured."

Then again, even if Li Zhi ruled the Tang Dynasty and something went wrong, as long as he, Li Er, was still alive, he could set things right.

To put it bluntly, as long as he, Li Er, Li Shimin, was still alive, he could do it even if he changed the emperor.

Based on these ideas, and because he had no worries, he knew very well that what he needed was an emperor who was conservative, a generous and kind, and even an obedient emperor.

Apart from Li Chengqian, among the many princes, only Li Ke was more outstanding, but Li Ke's bloodline and identity made Li Er exclude him at the first time.

So, after comprehensive consideration, only the ninth prince Li Zhi could be chosen.

Li Er murmured to himself: "Then, should I let Zhinu prepare?"
