Sword guarding Chang'an

Chapter 15 Assessment of the Civil and Military Hall
In the next few days.

Li Jianbai kept to himself, did not provoke trouble at all, and did not try to curry favor with Wang Meng.

He didn't even mention hunting, because Li Jianbai didn't put his mind on Wang Meng anymore.

Everything depends on yourself.

Wang Meng also noticed this.

After all, Wang Meng was repeatedly told by Tang Wang to observe Li Jianbai carefully and not let him leave the palace.

Moreover, Wang Meng loves and hates Li Jianbai in his heart.

Wang Meng specially wrote down that poem and expressed it.

I watch and recite it almost every day.

"Broken for a while."

When drunk, he turned on the lamp to watch the sword, and dreamed back to blow the horns. Eight hundred li points burned under his command, fifty strings turned over, and the battlefield fell into the autumn.

Ma Fei's Lu Feikui, his bow like a thunderbolt. However, the monarch did things in the world and won his last name. Poor white happened!

Not only this poem, but also his chess skills, Wang Meng admired Li Jianbai very much.

Maybe it was luck or a coincidence that he won once.

After several times of chessboard games, Wang Meng personally understood that the Sixth Prince's military strategy is not weaker than his own. The layout, attack and kill, defense, and psychological tactics are just like the old generation's actuarial calculations.

But that's why.

Wang Meng couldn't find a trace of the sixth prince's flaws, but instead he was always deflated, so that now he was scolded by the king of Tang, and he couldn't even go out to hunt in the palace.

But in the past few days, it was discovered that the sixth prince worked harder, doubled the training without complaining, and even took the initiative to strengthen the training, which made Wang Meng feel something was wrong.

"This kid is a little unusual, he must be holding back bad ideas." Wang Meng understood this in his heart after being in contact with Li Jianbai during this period of time.

No...I'm going to report to His Majesty.

Although Wang Meng has well-developed limbs, it does not mean that he is really simple-minded. Otherwise, he would not become one of the top ten generals of the Tang Dynasty.

first timing.

Zhao Jin told Tang Wang about Wang Meng.

"Ok?"

King Tang frowned, knowing something was wrong in his heart.

"It seems that Wang Meng can't cure this kid, and keeping him in the imperial army is not a long-term solution. I'm afraid there will be problems after a long time." The emperor of Tang Dynasty stroked his white beard and said in a low voice. language.

Zhao Jin, who accompanies the king like a tiger, knows the thoughts of the emperor in front of him best.

Propose immediately.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has a good idea."

"Say."

Zhao Jin took a step forward and said, "Didn't Your Majesty intend to test the princes recently?"

Hearing this sentence, Emperor Datang's face was expressionless, and he understood Zhao Jin's thoughts in his heart.

What is the test of the princes? It is nothing more than observing the temperament of the princes and starting to choose their successors.

"go on."

Zhao Jin's whole body was tense, because she knew in her heart that the majesty in front of her was a little old and confused, greedy for power, and didn't want to make a heir.

"Just right, following this opportunity, the princes will be announced into the palace, so that the sixth prince can be returned to the palace in a legitimate manner, and it will not mean that His Majesty can't deal with the sixth prince, and it's not that Wang Meng can't take care of him."

Hearing Zhao Jin's words, Emperor Datang nodded and said, "Just do as you say."

Zhao Jin responded, stepped back slowly, and began to arrange.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty has thirteen children, namely the first prince Li Jiancheng, the second prince Li Jiantai, the third prince Li Jianzhi, the fourth prince Li Jianjun, the sixth prince Li Jianbai, the seventh prince Li Jiangong, and the eleventh prince Li Jianhong.

The rest, five, eight, nine, ten, twelve, and thirteen, are all princesses.

Seven princes, six princesses.

Datang.

The court is surging and the frontier is unstable, but the hearts of the people are extremely firm.

Because the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in China, after three generations of kings, it finally has the enlightened rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Ten generals guarding Datang.

The next day.

Civil and Military Hall.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty led more than a dozen ministers, because the selection of successors, although the king of Tang alone had the final say.

But it must also be approved by the elders of the three dynasties.

Moreover, the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK does not agree, and it will be difficult for the new king to lead the court in the future.

In this assessment, the princes are in high spirits, because this is related to the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the top position!
It also means that the road to the throne has already begun!
The eldest prince, Li Jiancheng, is the oldest, already in his thirties, a stable man, and won the recognition of all ministries in the court.

He has been in politics for more than ten years, and his foundation is the deepest!
The second prince, Li Jiantai, has been in the limelight recently. During several court meetings, the King of Tang praised him a lot. Many people thought that the King of Tang valued Li Jiantai very much.

As for the third prince Li Jianzhi, he was talented and recognized by all the famous officials in the Tang Dynasty. He was modest and polite, and he handled everything well. He should have been the prince with the most support.

It's a pity that Li Jianzhi couldn't cultivate and was born with a congenital defect, so he never wanted to compete for the throne.

The fourth prince, Li Jianjun, is more than twenty years old, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the eighth rank!
Among the princes, he has the highest cultivation.

He has been training abroad with Prince Jing, and he has made a lot of military achievements, but he is too straightforward, and he has the support of the three armies, but he is not favored by the Chinese officials.

And next is the sixth prince Li Jianbai.

Li Jianbai is the stranger among all the people, because this prince has not been in the palace since he was a child, and he only returned to Chang'an in the last six months.

So, no one supports it.

Anyone who knows the truth knows that King Tang will never consider the sixth prince because of his mother.

The seventh prince, Li Jiangong, only wanted to study. Even though he was a prince, he studied with the Confucian masters and was already favored to take over the Confucian position.

As for the age of the eleventh prince, he was basically no longer considered because he was only 11 years old.

"Is it all here?" The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sitting on the upper seat, glanced around.

And Zhao Jin lowered his head and said: "That... Your Majesty, the sixth prince has not arrived yet."

"Ok?"

"Why? Could it be that he ran away?"

"Your Majesty, he said that you let him study hard in the army, and now you are assessing his knowledge. It is simply a deliberate pick. The sixth prince said he would not come."

"Presumptuous!!" Tang Wang was furious, and shouted: "Go, you have to tie me up too! Otherwise, it won't work! No, just let Wang Meng tie me up!"

All the princes and more than a dozen ministers didn't dare to say anything when they saw King Tang getting angry.

And the other princes who were interested in the throne found that the sixth prince hadn't come, and secretly let go of their vigilance against Li Jianbai.

After all, they want to fight for the ninth-fifth place now, so they can't relax a bit.

However, the sixth prince was absent from such an important assessment, so it was obvious that he had no intention of taking the throne.

On the field.

The eldest prince Li Jiancheng, the second prince Li Jiantai, and the fourth prince Li Jianjun are the most likely candidates to become the new Tang king.

The hostility among the three is also the strongest.

Soon.

The sixth prince, Li Jianbai, was carried into the Civil and Military Hall by Wang Meng!

Entering the main hall, Li Jianbai bowed his hands helplessly, and said in a weak voice: "I have seen Father."

"Humph!"
