Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 469 Princess Xiangcheng’s pregnancy was exposed, and Li Ke threatened her
"It's the king with a different surname!"

"She said that if we succeed this time, she will shake all ties and ask the emperor to make you a king with a different surname!"

Wang Shiyu said with excitement.

King with a different surname, what an honor this must be!

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have only been two kings with different surnames, Du Fuwei and Luo Yi, both during the Wude period.

Strictly speaking, it is just a title to a king with a different surname, because before Luo Yi was granted the title of king, he was only given the surname Li first and then the king, and the title was still the county prince.

If Fang Yuan can be crowned king, it will definitely shock the world!

"Miaoyan actually has such an idea?!"

Fang Yuan was shocked and couldn't help but take a breath.

It's too bold to even think about granting a different surname to Wang, isn't it?

"Miao Yan said that the achievements of the land Silk Road have been known to generations."

"If we can create a maritime Silk Road and its achievements will be greater than those on land, then it is possible to be crowned king."

"If His Majesty refuses to be crowned king, then she advises you to retreat bravely and move to Future Island to live a peaceful life."

Wang Shiyu said in a deep voice.

As for the former, Fang Yuan is already a king with a different surname, so who can say anything about marrying another princess?
The latter, when he went to Future Island, he didn't have the eyes of ordinary people, and he didn't have to worry about being gossiped about when he became a couple with Fang Yuan.

As long as you and others are happy, that's fine.

"Why didn't she tell me?"

Fang Yuan still couldn't calm down and said in a deep voice.

"She said she wanted to surprise you."

Wang Shiyu said with a chuckle.

Because she couldn't help but tell Fang Yuan.

"Okay, I understand, you go early and come back early!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Since Du Miaoyan has such thoughts, he cannot fall behind.

It’s not like I have never been a king with a different surname. Now I am the king of Goguryeo with a different surname.

"Then it's settled!"

Wang Shiyu's face blushed slightly.

I tiptoed in the direction of the ship, feeling very reluctant to leave.

Finally, she flew back like a swallow, kissed Fang Yuan on the cheek, and trotted away with a blushing face.

Fang Yuan felt the softness on his face and sighed in his heart, it's so hard to let go of the beauty's kindness.

Then Fang Yuan and Hong Xu Qinggao gave them a few words of advice and watched them board the ship.

Under the welcome of everyone, five large ships sailed out slowly.

Fang Yuan looked at the five steel ships that were getting further and further away, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.

Wang with a different surname!
If it succeeds, Datang will be shocked!
Afterwards, Fang Yuan returned to Chang'an City.

As soon as they entered the city, there was a carriage blocking Fang Yuan's carriage.

"Fang Yuan, King Shu's carriage said that he wants to invite you to come over and talk about something very important."

Xue Rengui rode the carriage as a message to Fang Yuan.

"Just say that I'm tired and can't go there. If you have any questions, let's chat in the carriage side by side."

Fang Yuan frowned and then said.

The important thing Li Ke said at this time should be the selection of the prince, right?

I don't want to participate in this matter. If he gets too close to me, it will only make people jealous of me, which is useless.

After Xue Rengui sent the message, the carriage drove slowly.

From the outside, Fang Yuan's carriage and Li Ke's carriage were walking side by side.

The streets of Chang'an City are large enough that two carriages traveling side by side take up a lot of space, but they don't seem crowded.

"Master Fang, I often go to Sister Xiangcheng's place these days. What do you think I found?"

Li Ke's words came from the other side of the carriage.

Fang Yuan's expression changed, and his lazy temperament also changed, but he asked without moving his expression: "What did you find?"

"Hehehe"

"It's really shocking that she's pregnant."

"Xiao Rui has been dead for two years, and she is still pregnant. Can the royal family tolerate such a thing?"

Li Ke smiled a little weirdly.

Just because he found it too incredible.

A royal princess and a widow, how dare she get pregnant?
If this matter spreads out, how will the world laugh at their Li family?
But this matter will definitely not spread, because the emperor will not allow such a thing to happen.

Then neither Princess Xiangcheng nor Fang Yuan who participated in this matter will end well, even if Fang Yuan has great achievements and hard work.

"What do you want?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice.

He didn't want to deny it. Since he asked Princess Xiangcheng to stay, he dared to take the responsibility.

"I didn't expect that you wouldn't deny it. I, Li Kegao, looked at you."

"I don't want to do anything. You support me to become the prince. I don't know anything about it."

Li Ke said a little surprised.

He thought Fang Yuan would deny it.

But I didn't expect that Fang Yuan, a man like him, would admit it directly.

Although it is a bit silly, it is also a happy event for Sister Xiangcheng.

"Let me think about it."

Fang Yuan didn't agree immediately.

He has always been a neutral and doesn't help anyone.

Now if you suddenly change your mind, will you be suspected?
At the same time, he was also worried that Li Ke would keep his word and continue to blackmail himself.

"You have no choice!"

"If you don't support me, I will tell the emperor immediately."

"I believe the emperor will have a very expressive expression when he finds out about this."

Li Ke said in a low voice.

He did not allow Fang Yuan to refuse.

It's rare to catch Fang Yuan's handle, so he can't miss it like this.

Now that most people in the court support Li Tai, the possibility of Li Tai becoming the prince is too great.

Without Fang Yuan's support, he probably wouldn't have a chance.

"You have to understand that even with my support, you may not be able to become the prince."

"And if my support is useless, will you blackmail me with this matter?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

This is what worries him the most.

After all, this era still pays attention to direct lineage.

Although Li Ke is the oldest after Li Chengqian, he is not a direct descendant.

He is at a disadvantage if he is not a direct lineage, and it is also related to the previous dynasty. There are too many problems, and it is difficult to become a prince.

So even after supporting him, he still can't become the prince. Then does he expose his relationship with Princess Xiangcheng?
"Your worries are very reasonable, but I can guarantee that as long as you fully support me, even if I cannot become the prince, I will not blame you and I will not expose that matter."

"Remember, this is full support!"

Li Ke pondered for a long time and said in a deep voice.

If someone else said this to him, he would be furious and even beat the other person.

But this is what Fang Yuan said. Fang Yuan has the qualifications to say this, and he has the qualifications to face it.

"Okay, I'll submit the letter tomorrow morning!"

Fang Yuan pondered for another moment and finally made a decision.

I had no choice but to agree to it for the sake of Princess Xiangcheng's reputation and safety.

"Why not now?"

Li Ke opened the curtain and looked out the window.

It's still early, you can definitely enter the palace now.

"I have to think about how to express my thoughts, right?"

Fang Yuan frowned, dissatisfied.

I agreed, but that didn't mean I had to listen to him.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news early tomorrow morning!"

"If I don't get the news I want at noon, I will report you immediately."

Li Ke said in a low voice.

Then Fang Yuan heard the sound of driving, and Li Ke's carriage parted ways with Fang Yuan.

In the carriage, Fang Yuan's face was heavy and he leaned on the bed with a gloomy face, thinking about whether there was any way to remedy the situation.

I don't know how much time passed before the carriage returned to Fang Mansion. Du Miaoyan happened to be playing here with her son and saw Fang Yuan coming back.

"What's wrong? Didn't the farewell go smoothly?" Du Miaoyan quickly approached Fang Yuan and asked worriedly.

"The farewell went well. I met Li Ke when I came back."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"what happened?"

Du Miaoyan was greatly surprised.

It's just that I met Li Ke, it's no big deal.

Is it possible that he can still be threatened to support him in becoming the crown prince?

"He knew Xiangcheng was pregnant and used this to blackmail me!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"what?"

Du Miaoyan was shocked and exclaimed.

Princess Xiangcheng is a widow and a royal princess, so her reputation is very important.

To put it ten thousand steps back, even if Princess Xiangcheng doesn't pay attention to reputation, the royal family also pays attention to reputation.

And Li Ke actually knew about this matter. If exposed, both Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng would not be able to escape the blame!
I had just conceived the idea of ​​creating a king. If this matter spreads, all kings will be fake.

"I have promised him, but I am not sure whether he will threaten me again!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Should we arrange to leave Xiangcheng immediately?"

Du Miaoyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Princess Xiangcheng's situation has been known to everyone, and staying in Chang'an City is a time bomb.

But if he leaves Chang'an City, even if Li Ke says it a hundred times, Li Shimin will not believe it without seeing anyone.

"Li Ke only gives me time tomorrow morning. I can only express my attitude to the emperor."

"During this period, Li Ke will definitely be keeping an eye on Princess Xiangcheng, and supporting him will definitely be unavoidable."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"No, you support yours and I'll transfer mine."

"After you finish supporting Li Ke, I will arrange for Princess Xiangcheng to leave. What do you think?"

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

You must support her, otherwise Princess Xiangcheng will not be able to leave Chang'an City.

But after supporting him, if he still had objections to his arrangements for Princess Xiangcheng to leave Li Ke, the worst he could do was to break up with her.

For the sake of the prince's position, Li Ke certainly did not dare to go too far after not deciding who the prince was.

"This method works!"

"Princess Xiangcheng must have arranged manpower now. You are very skilled in martial arts. How about you go and notify me in person?"

Fang Yuan thought about it and felt that this method was okay and worth trying.

As long as Princess Xiangcheng is not in Chang'an City, even if he wants to blackmail Li Ke after supporting her, he still needs evidence.

"I'll go when it gets dark."

Du Miaoyan nodded and said.

Soon, it got dark, and Du Miaoyan left wearing night clothes.

Fang Yuan did not go to the morning court the next day, so after registering at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he went to the Imperial Study Room.

"Fang Yuan, you're here, how about seeing you off yesterday?"

Li Shimin was in a good mood and laughed.

In just one day yesterday, the feedback he received showed that inflation has been solved a lot.

"Okay, everything goes well!"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Because he was in a good mood, Li Shimin quickly asked someone to bring Fang Yuan a stool.

"Your Majesty, I am here this time after careful consideration regarding the selection of the crown prince."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin's smile disappeared and became solemn.

He looked deeply at Fang Yuan with terrifying eyes, as if he wanted to see through Fang Yuan.

In the past, Fang Yuan expressed his neutral thoughts to himself many times.

Why did it change now when the decision on the candidate for the crown prince is about to be made?
"I think King Shu is good!"

"You are wise and capable, very much like your Majesty!"

Fang Yuan ignored Li Shimin's eyes and said calmly.

"What's wrong with King Wei?"

Li Shimin did not express his position, his eyes became more and more terrifying.

He felt like he was being cheated, feeling that Fang Yuan had been lying to him.

Having been neutral for so long, but suddenly changing his mind and supporting Li Ke, it's so abominable.

"The King of Wei is also very good, but the King of Wei is too fat. His appearance affects the power of the Tang Dynasty."

"According to research from my institute, people who are too fat are prone to various diseases and early death."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Even if it means to offend Li Tai, I have to say this, because this is the reason.

But even if you don't say it, you have already offended Li Tai since you chose to support Li Ke.

"Why did you suddenly support the King of Shu? Is it because of Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian?"

Li Shimin couldn't understand and said in a deep voice.

"Yes and no."

Fang Yuan was a little surprised that Li Shimin actually thought of Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian.

But this is easy to explain. After all, both of them support Li Tai and are loyal supporters of Li Tai.

Everyone in the court already knew about his relationship with the two of them, so it was okay to use this as an excuse.

"There is absolutely no need for you to support King Shu because of these two!"

"Although they are relatives of King Wei, King Wei has to restrict them when he ascends to power!"

Li Shimin's face looked a little better.

The thought that Fang Yuan had deceived him also slowly dissipated.

He thought Fang Yuan was worried that after Li Tai came to power, Changsun Wuji and others would suppress him.

In order to protect himself, he chose to support Li Ke.

"Your Majesty is right!"

"But I have made a decision. Please consider my choice when Your Majesty is considering candidates!"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, without denying or explaining.

"Go back."

Li Shimin said with a blank face.

He already has a candidate in his mind and doesn't need Fang Yuan to say anything.

"I retire!"

Fang Yuan stood up, saluted and left.

Soon, word spread of Fang Yuan's support without Li Shimin's strict prohibition.

There were too many people in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs were good at spreading news, and soon the news that Fang Yuan supported Li Ke spread.

Li Ke, who had been sending people to keep an eye on Fang Yuan, was relieved and in a good mood when he found out.

However, compared to Li Ke, Li Tai was furious when he learned the news.

"Bastard, bastard, Fang Yuan, you bastard!"

"Didn't you say neutral? Didn't you say neutral? You damn renegade villain!"

Li Tai was so angry that he threw the stool and the fat on his body trembled.

During several beatings, Li Tai suddenly felt severe pain in his chest, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted.

"Your Highness!"

The eunuchs and maids present were shocked and immediately helped Li Tai.

Just when they wanted to call the imperial doctor, Li Tai stretched out his hand to stop them.

"I'm fine!"

"But I'm angry!"

"Why do you think Fang Yuan suddenly changed his mind?"

Li Tai said angrily.

Physical pain is nothing, the most important thing is mental pain.

Fang Yuan's sudden support for Li Ke may affect his father's decision.

"Maybe, maybe the conflict with Master Changsun and Master Gao is too strong."

Someone among the bachelors in the literature hall said squeaking.

When Li Tai heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he had two substantial murderous intentions.
