The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2142 Eligibility
"I don't dare." Li Xiang bowed his body, fearful and sincere, and his tone was full of sincerity.

"Oh?" Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Why don't you dare to think about it? You are the only adult prince, and Yi'er and Jue'er are close to adulthood, but Yi'er's health is not good, so the rest , there are only you and Jue'er, in the eyes of outsiders, who may become the crown prince in the end, why do you say, you dare not think about it?"

"Returning to the emperor's words, because I feel that I still have self-knowledge." Li Xiang said: "I am not the emperor's son, and my talent is not high, not as smart as the emperor. From the status From the standpoint, Erchen is no longer able to take the seat of Prince Xiao Xiang."

The distinction between concubine and concubine has been very important since ancient times.

Emperor Gaozu had so many sons, even if His Majesty Li Er's throne did not come from the right path, in the end, it was not something the concubine princes and princes could imagine.

But according to the current situation, Li Chengqian's words are also very reasonable. From the current point of view, the princes who can become the prince of the East Palace are most likely to be Li Xiang and Li Jue.

Li Xiang was beating drums in his heart. He didn't know what his father meant when he said that.

Are you testing yourself?Or are you telling the truth?

Li Xiang is not stupid, so he feels that what his father said is the most likely to test himself.

"It seems that you have an idea in your heart, so you submitted the memorial and want to go to the fief, why, don't you want to stay in Chang'an?" Li Chengqian asked seemingly casually.

"I feel that my age is not too young, and it is a good time to make contributions. In Chang'an City, under the protection of my father, my son is more of an idle prince than an official who can make achievements. My son If I don't want to live such a comfortable life for the rest of my life, I should share my father's worries. Moreover, after experiencing the Qianzhuang case, I feel guilty in my heart, and I also feel deeply that I have failed my father for so many years. My son's cultivation, my son's plan is to go out and see more of the world."

The idea is a good idea, but Li Chengqian will not fully believe what Li Xiang said.

Li Chengqian knew all about Li Xiang's previous activities. If he had no idea about the crown prince's position, why bothered so much before?
It can only be said that what Li Xiang said just now was too full, and there were great flaws in his words, which made Li Chengqian not believe Li Xiang's words.

"It's good for you to have this idea." Li Chengqian said: "The emperor has grown up. I remember, you will leave Chang'an City tomorrow."

"Yes." Li Xiang replied.

Li Chengqian fumbled for the memorial in his hand.

This memorial was sent to him by Baiqisi's people. He gave Baiqisi three days to investigate the case. In just one night, Baiqisi's people had already found clues, and , displayed the clues in the memorial, and handed it to his desk.

Originally, Li Chengqian had doubts about Li Xiang, but after reading Baiqisi's memorial, he called Li Xiang to the Xuanzheng Palace.

"According to the person I sent to investigate the case, on the day that King E was assassinated, the subordinates of your mansion left the mansion of King Yue, led a team of people, and left Chang'an City directly." Li Chengqian said: "This matter, How do you explain that?"

"I don't know here." Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat.

Originally, the topic was that he was leaving Chang'an City, and he thought it was over, but unexpectedly, it was brought up again all of a sudden.

"I don't know?" Li Chengqian smiled and said: "The people in your house, don't you know? There are so many people, one person and one rider, and they are heading for the outside of Chang'an city in a mighty way. Many people have seen it. up."

Baiqisi asked many people in Chang'an City before he found out the news. Moreover, on that day, so many people came out of the city with weapons in their hands, how could the people of Chang'an City not notice it?

People with good deeds will still inquire about what happened to make such a big commotion.

"Sitting in this seat, I govern the Tang Dynasty. If I don't even know about the affairs of Chang'an City, how can I talk about governing the Tang Dynasty? My eyes are not blind, and my ears are not deaf."

The sudden change in Li Chengqian's momentum made Li Xiang feel even colder all over, and cold sweat was about to break out from the tip of his nose.

"I'll ask you directly now." Li Chengqian said, "Jue'er and Qi Guogong were assassinated outside Chang'an City. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Father!" Li Xiang knelt directly on the ground: "Father, I dare not, how dare I do such beastly things on the boundary of Chang'an City, I have followed my mother since childhood, How can someone who grew up with the emperor's brother be cruel to attack the emperor's brother? And, and"

Li Xiang swallowed while talking: "Besides, I also know that it is impossible for me to be a prince. This is where my identity lies. In addition to the previous Qianzhuang case, I have nothing to do with my son. The ministers I have made good friends with are all folded in this case. This is also a stain on my minister. How can such a minister be the crown prince? Since the minister himself knows that he cannot be the prince, how can he treat the emperor? Is the younger brother going to kill you? Father, you must trust your son."

Li Xiang panicked, and kept pouring dirty water on himself by taking advantage of the previous case of the bank.

Perhaps only in this way can the emperor believe in him, and he can escape from this stupid thing.

"The evidence is all in front of me, and you are still lying!" Li Chengqian shouted angrily.

"No, father, please listen to my son's explanation. My son is really not lying, please believe my father!" Li Xiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I really can't afford such a crime. How could this son be so confused, to do such a thing, a discerning person can tell at a glance, if something happens to the emperor's younger brother, the biggest beneficiary is son, all suspicion will come to son, If my son did that, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?"

Li Chengqian lightly dropped the memorial in his hand on the desk again. Li Xiang didn't notice this movement.

"Father, the son is an innocent father."

Having said this, Li Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, was already in tears.

This incident really annoyed Li Chengqian, especially when it was confirmed that this incident had something to do with Li Xiang, Li Chengqian was even more annoyed.

It is taboo for princes to kill each other.

It is not impossible to fight, but being so cruel, directly sending assassins to kill outside the city, this is no different from the Xuanwumen back then.
