The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1824 Procrastinating

"The crown prince has become a queen, and if the ministers in the court want His Majesty to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, I reckon that the third prince should be a popular candidate in the eyes of the courtiers. After all, he is the son of the eldest son." Xuan Shijing said: "Could it be your majesty?" What do you think is inappropriate about the Third Prince?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "That's not true."

The third prince Li Jue is 15 years old this year, and the eldest prince Li Xiang is 19 years old. At this age, apart from his studies and literary and martial arts, he can't see anything else, so Li Chengqian is hesitating.

In his heart, he thought that Li Xiang was good, but no matter what, Li Xiang was a son of a concubine.

Back then when Li Chengqian was young, His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne. When His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Li Chengqian became the prince. Why didn't His Majesty Li Er hesitate?On the one hand, Li Chengqian himself is already very good under the guidance of many masters. On the other hand, His Majesty Li Er's queen candidate is also straightforward, without messing about at all, and Li Chengqian is the eldest son of the royal family. Isn't it logical that he became the prince? ?
Now Li Xiang and Li Jue, the eldest son and the first son are not alone, so the problem is right in front of us.

But one thing is certain, the identity of the eldest son is not as important as the identity of the first son.

So in terms of status, Li Xiang's status should be inferior to Li Jue's.

As for the second prince Doctor Li, Li Chengqian didn't think about it at all. The child's body is too weak. He grew up soaked in a medicine jar from childhood to the present, and he is about the same age as the third prince Li Jue.

"If His Majesty is really in trouble, this matter can be shelved for the time being. As for the two princes, it is not too late to observe for a while. Governing the country and dealing with state affairs are different from studying and practicing martial arts. It is not a bad thing to watch more." Xuan Shijing said: "If the two princes have the heart to fight because of this, as long as everything is within the control of your majesty, you can see clearly what the character of the two princes is, and it will also help your majesty to judge whether it is true or not. Who is more suitable for the seat of the prince."

After Xuan Shijing said that, Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.

Xuan Shijing was not afraid of offending any prince when he said that. Anyway, the current emperor is Li Chengqian. When Li Chengqian abdicates, the emperor will be replaced by another person. He may not know where he will be at that time.

People will definitely not stay in the court all their lives. If they are in an official position, they will die. Xuan Shijing even thought about the way out for his own retirement in the future, so he went to the academy to be an honest man like Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu. Mr. Teach.

Moreover, just a few words can be regarded as offending people.

After so many years, now that Li Chengqian has become the emperor, although Xuan Shijing is a small official now, what he said in front of Li Chengqian still carries more weight. At least Li Chengqian can listen to it and consider it seriously.

Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, what Xuan Shijing said also opened Li Chengqian's mind at once, so now Li Chengqian felt in his heart that there was no need to worry about the establishment of the crown prince for the time being.

Li Xiang, the oldest, is only 19 years old. How long has it been since he succeeded himself as emperor?
Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, Li Chengqian not only asked Xuan Shijing to discuss the matter, but also another minister, Changsun Wuji, as the prime minister of the empire and Li Chengqian's uncle, Li Chengqian also respected his position very much. An uncle, discussed this matter with Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji's opinion was more upright. After standing up, it must be the Su family. She is the best candidate.

Changsun Wuji's answer was regular, not as vague as Xuan Shijing's, mainly because Xuan Shijing saw that Li Chengqian didn't want to establish a crown prince so early at all, but the courtiers pressed him hard, Xuan Shijing Jing came here to find a way for Li Chengqian to step down, let him be his emperor and establish a prince in peace and stability, don't worry.

As for the remonstrance of the ministers, use this excuse to stop them first.

At least, Li Chengqian will definitely have more than these three sons in the future. After all, he is the emperor. How could there be only three or four women in the harem?

Now, Xuan Shijing's steps have also been handed over to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian plans to walk down, at least he knows where the prevarication is. If someone in the court stood up to talk about this issue, at least there would be someone who would support Li Chengqian's words from the sidelines.

Who else is more suitable for this person than the respected Changsun Wuji?

This time in the East Palace, Li Xiang is still holding a book and studying in his study room. His already chubby figure has become more and more plump after sitting for a long time without exercising or practicing martial arts. , the appearance is very rich, and if it continues to develop like this, it will be able to catch up with his fourth uncle.

As for Li Jue, he is in the Su family's palace and the housekeeper of the Su family, completing the homework assigned by his master. Li Jue is still young now.

But no matter how young he is, he still knows that his father became the emperor, and now he is the father, and now the crown prince is still pending. Li Jue knows it, and Li Xiang knows it too.

Both of them are staring at this seat. You know, if you can sit on the seat of the prince, you will be able to control the world in the future. The seat that your father holds now will be the future prince's.

Therefore, both of them are studying at different levels of work and completing their studies. They are also very honest and well-behaved on weekdays, and they both want to make a good impression on their father.

However, since his father came to the throne, he rarely came back to the East Palace, and Li Chengqian's concubines and children still live in the East Palace.

A piece of palace has been divided in the Daming Palace as the residence of His Majesty Li Er's concubines, and some palaces are prepared for Li Chengqian's concubines. They will not live in the East Palace for long, and they must move. , but whether it is Li Xiang or Li Jue, they all hope that after everyone moves, they can still live here.

Living in the East Palace is a symbol of the crown prince's status, so compared to other people's expectations of moving, both of them want to stay and make the East Palace their own territory.

Li Jue's biological mother, Mrs. Su, is also somewhat confident that her son can ascend to the position of crown prince. At least in the East Palace, his status is higher than that of their mother and son. In addition, the Su family has not paid attention to those false rumors.

Either they have no sons, or they have a sick son, or they come from a humble background with no background outside the palace.
