Chapter 1400 The Thoughts of the Emperor (Part 2)
"Since the father thinks that his daughter should get married, then she should find someone to marry..."
Princess Changle lowered her eyelashes and spoke these words softly.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned at first. This girl had always rejected remarrying. How come she suddenly figured it out again? When he saw Princess Changle's pale and cold face, he knew that this beautiful and intelligent daughter had guessed his thoughts.
In the past, it would have been a very happy thing to see that his daughter had inherited his wisdom and wisdom. However, at this moment, His Majesty Li Er felt an embarrassment rising in his heart and looked away slightly. She no longer looked at Princess Changle's beautiful cheeks, but looked out the window.
The carved wooden windows are open, and you can see the fine raindrops, rendered orange by the palace lanterns, hitting the leaves of the flower trees, making a soft ticking sound, as if there is a natural rhythm. Not only does it not make people feel upset, but there is a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
The atmosphere was awkwardly silent amidst the patter of rain...
After a long time, Your Majesty Li Er slowly exhaled and said softly: "Why is this necessary?"
Princess Changle bit her lip, filled with desolation, she raised her beautiful eyes to look at His Majesty Li Er, and said softly: "Father, why bother?"
Two meaningless sentences, questions and rhetorical questions. The father and daughter do have their own thoughts and understand each other's meaning.
His Majesty Li Er was silent again.
Princess Changle stretched out her hand, her delicate white hand gently covered the back of His Majesty Li Er's hand on the table, and said in a pleading tone: "Brother Prince is pure, filial and kind, and is deeply loved by the civil and military officials of the entire court, not to mention that he holds the position of Prince. He has been the crown prince for many years. How can his father have the heart to depose him, leading to turmoil in the court and separation between father and son? "
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
Dissatisfaction with the prince has been around for a long time.
His Majesty Li Er has great ambitions and is determined to become the one emperor through the ages who has made more achievements than the three emperors and the five emperors. Not only does he want to be remembered in history and create immortal achievements, but he also hopes that his successor can inherit the huge empire he created and carry forward the foundation of Li Tang. It will be passed down through the ages.
However, the weak-tempered prince is obviously not his favorite successor. Without extraordinary courage, how can he carry on the past and dominate the world?
As a son, the prince is naturally a filial person, but as a king, the prince seems unqualified.
Especially if one foot is lame, it really damages the majesty of the emperor...
Therefore, he had intended to let Wei King Li Tailai replace the crown prince.
However, Li Tai was first discredited and lost all prestige by Fang Jun's song "The Charcoal Seller", and then a series of assassinations, false accusations and other incidents occurred, which made His Majesty Li Er hesitate and failed to make a decision to let Li Taicheng For the prince's decision.
In the past year or so, the prince's performance has been much better than before, and this is obviously all because of Fang Jun. His Majesty Li Er was not very pleased. Instead, he became increasingly dissatisfied with the prince.
It is a good thing to be good at accepting advice, but if you have no ideas and the king is weak and his ministers are strong, it is definitely not a blessing for the empire. His Majesty Li Er understands Fang Jun and knows that Fang Jun does not have much ambition. However, since Fang Jun can make the prince bow his head and obey his advice, who can guarantee that another Fang Jun will appear in the future?
When powerful ministers are in power, the outcome of the government will be corruption.
His Majesty Li Er was vaguely aware that Changsun Wuji and others were secretly supporting the King of Jin, so he adopted an indulgent attitude and allowed them to act in secret, collude with the courtiers, and confront the prince.
When it comes to being smart and wise, the Prince of Jin is obviously much better than the Crown Prince because of his own inheritance. If the Prince of Jin can show his potential to become a wise king in the future, His Majesty Li Er will naturally not hesitate to hand over the position of Crown Prince to the Prince of Jin.
However, the power of Sun Wuwu, the eldest son of the imperial court, is now too weak to compete with the prince who is deeply loved by ministers such as Fang Xuanling. If you want to give King Jin a chance, you must cut off the wings of the prince so that the strength of the two sides will not be so disparate.
And the most solid helper around the prince is Fang Jun...
So when the scandal started, His Majesty Li Er planned to follow the trend and demote Fang Jun out of the capital in order to weaken the prince's strength.
After all, he was scheming against his own son, and this move seemed too unfair and clearly favored King Jin. That was why he felt very embarrassed when Princess Changle saw through his intentions.
His Majesty Li Er himself felt a little helpless, sighed and said: "The prince really disappoints me, he is not the most suitable candidate for the crown prince."
Princess Changle looked worried and said anxiously: "But father, have you ever thought about what will happen to the prince's brother if he is really easy to save?"
His Majesty Li Er was silent again.
Since ancient times, there have been no two suns in the sky and no two masters among the people. Although this supreme throne in the world holds the universe and is the only one in the world, it is also the most coveted by others. It is always faced with the danger of life and death, both openly and secretly. In the face of absolute power, even father, son, and siblings will be ruthless and show no mercy.
His Majesty Li Er himself killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate before he could sit on the supreme throne in the world...
And once Yi Chu is replaced and the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Li Chengqian will inevitably become the new emperor's confidant.
At that time, it is inevitable that brothers will look at each other and fight against each other.
It was precisely because he was worried about Li Chengqian's fate that His Majesty Li Er hesitated. Even though he wanted to hand over his kingdom to a wise and decisive son, how could he bear the thought of causing his eldest son to end badly?
He was a wise and mighty emperor, but he was also a loving father.
Country and family, love and reason have made His Majesty Li Er, who has always been decisive and decisive, hesitant and unable to make the final decision...
His Majesty Li Er sighed again: "How could I not know the danger of this matter? I just have this thought in my heart. Even if I depose the prince, I have not made up my mind on who will succeed him."
Princess Changle took a deep breath and said resolutely: "The father previously wanted his daughter to marry the Qiu family, so the daughter should follow the father's wishes."
As long as he gets married, the scandal with Fang Jun will naturally disappear.
She doesn't know which prince Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others are supporting now, but the Guanlong Group is now divided internally. Although it has influence in the court, it is weak in the army, and the only one it can rely on is , it is Qiu Xinggong who has an irreversible friendship with Gao Shilian.
He married Qiu Shenji, confident that he could influence the Qiu family's decision-making, causing them to break away from the Guanlong Group and join the prince's brother.
She doesn't care about the great achievements of the empire or the long-term ambitions. She is just a woman and cannot bear to see her brothers and sisters kill each other because of the position of prince.
Only by consolidating the prince's position can the tragedy be avoided.
And once it is easy to store, the worst outcome will be doomed.
In this aspect, she sees it more clearly than His Majesty Li Er, and has no chance at all that His Majesty Li Er places everything on the brotherhood of several sons who are connected by blood...
But even though I made what I thought was the right decision, I still felt a little disappointed in my heart.
When he surrendered to marry, could that person feel that his move was not only to save the prince, but also to save him from being demoted from the capital and ending his career as prime minister in this life?

Shen Guogongfu.
The window of the study room was open, and the slightest trace of water vapor invaded the room, making it refreshingly cool.
Mrs. Xianyu walked into the study and saw Gao Shilian sitting upright on the chair behind the desk. She motioned to the maid behind her to put the freshly cooked bird's nest on the desk. After the maid left, she walked to the window and closed it. , isolating the fine rain.
"How can you not cherish this old body and bones? If you catch the cold and catch the wind, it will cost you half your life."
Xianyu was slightly angry and complained. Then he came to the desk, put away the documents and books on the desk, and said angrily: "Drink the bird's nest while it's hot, then wash up and go to bed. I'm getting older." Don’t stay up late all the time, otherwise where will you find the energy to appease those vixens in the backyard?”
Although the couple loves each other, Xianyu has a stubborn temper and has never been gentle and coaxing. Even when he expresses concern, his attitude and tone are so annoying.
If it were in the past, Gao Shilian would naturally not take it to heart. This is the way the husband and wife get along. They have been accustomed to it for half a life, and even feel caring. As for the flower-like concubines in the backyard, they are just greedy for novelty.
Even if he is a beautiful woman from Tianxiang Kingdom who is as soft as jade, how can she compare to the miserable wife who is with him?
But today, Gao Shilian's face was gloomy, he stared at Xian Yu and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have me in your eyes? You are talking nonsense and causing trouble outside. Do you want the entire Gao family to be buried with you? ”
The sudden anger made Xianyu stunned on the spot, with a look of confusion on his face...(End of Chapter)
