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

Chapter 471: Prince selection, Li Ke presses Fang Yuan crazy

Li Tai was invited at this time, and all the officials' eyes were fixed on the imperial study.

Please come over at this time. It is estimated that the candidate will be the crown prince.

In an instant, the ministers who supported Li Tai were furious and prepared to hold a banquet to celebrate.

Those who supported Li Ke became nervous at this time, and they were worried that Li Ke would lose the election.

However, when Li Tai came out of the imperial study, his expression was unpredictable.

Call it happy, but it doesn't count as happy.

Call it sad, but it's not sad.

It just feels so tangled that it's hard to see clearly.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

As soon as Li Tai left the imperial study room, someone immediately asked.

"You'll know once it's announced."

Li Tai didn't answer and left directly.

His mood now is very complicated, both sad and happy.

What makes me sad is that the prince is not me. What makes me happy is that my father and mother originally chose me. As long as I can lose weight, I will be replaced in the future.

But there is a premise, that is, only three people can know about this matter. If one more person knows about it, it will be invalid.

the other side.

Li Ke walked back and forth in the palace anxiously.

In the past, queens had secret conversations with emperors, but few emperors summoned Li Tai.

No matter where he looked, he had no chance of being crowned king.

Could it be said that sagacity and ability cannot be compared to direct descendants?
"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, don't force me!"

At this time, Li Ke blamed Fang Yuan for the problem.

He thought that if Fang Yuan had supported him earlier, this might not be the case.

In the next two days, Li Ke and his ministers went crazy.

But the insider, Li Tai, closed the door tightly and refused to see guests.

Finally, on the third day of morning court, Li Shimin summoned the ministers to the palace.

Among them, Li Ke, Li Tai, Fang Yuan and others were all present, and no one would be allowed to ask for leave today.

Because the candidate for the crown prince will be announced today!
No one can be absent!
Among the ministers.

Li Tai's face was expressionless, and Li Ke was sweating from his forehead.

Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others looked at Li Shimin with expectation.

"After two months of consideration and the opinions of everyone present, I already have a candidate for the crown prince in my mind. I will announce to you today that our Tang Dynasty will have another crown prince, and the world will be settled."

Li Shimin said slowly.

The sound echoed above the hall.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin and waited eagerly.

"After my careful consideration and your opinions, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is: Li Zhi!"

Li Shimin said loudly.

For a moment, the officials were stunned and in disbelief.

They were thinking about Li Tai or Li Ke, and almost never thought about Li Zhi.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Li Zhi who was only six or seven years old?
"how come?!"

Li Ke murmured, taking a step back and almost falling.

He never expected that the person he finally chose was not Li Tai, but Li Zhi.

This made him so full of anger that he didn't know where to vent it or what to do next.

If it was Li Tai, he would still want to fight with him, and he would also think of using force and other despicable means.

But Li Zhi.
He is still so young, how can I compete with him?
Fang Yuan was also in disbelief and felt powerless at the same time.

He tried not to participate in the selection of the crown prince because historically Li Zhi was the crown prince in the end.

Now that he has traveled through time and supported Li Ke, Li Zhi eventually became the prince.

Does it mean that much of history cannot be changed by humans?

The general trend cannot be determined by individuals?
"Your Majesty is wise!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up to congratulate him.

He was stunned and shocked at first.

But after the shock, there was only endless ecstasy.

Yes, he supports Li Tai, but he supports direct descendants.

Now that the position of prince still belongs to the direct lineage, he still has his own support.

As long as it is his own support, it will be the same whether it is Li Tai or Li Zhi.

Moreover, Li Zhi's appearance is higher than that of Li Tai, and he also has the opportunity to be nice to him.

As for Li Tai, he probably has some opinions about himself in his heart, but he just wants to support himself and remain humble.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Gao Shilian also stood up to congratulate.

At the same time, he also saw Li Zhi walking out quietly.

Although Li Zhi is only over six years old, he still looks quite elegant wearing a five-clawed python.

Seeing Li Zhi's arrival, everyone turned pale and visited Li Zhi one after another to confirm his position as the crown prince.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers below and was very satisfied with his decision.

None of the ministers objected, so this was the best choice.

It is estimated that whether Li Tai or Li Ke is chosen, the court will be in trouble.

But if you choose Li Zhi, nothing will happen and everyone will be in peace.

"I will pay homage to my ancestors soon, announce it to the world, and confirm the identity of Prince Li Zhi."

Li Shimin said slowly.

There was nothing exciting to do in the following court meeting.

After everyone dispersed, they left with this shocking news.

The Palace of the King of Shu.

Li Ke came back with an ugly face.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything.

As soon as he returned to the Shuwang Palace, he locked himself in the study.

Why Li Zhi?

Why Li Zhi?

Why Li Zhi?

Li Ke's mentality collapsed.

Because the prince is Li Zhi, he has lost the possibility of becoming the prince.

Because Li Zhi is too young, he can't compare with him no matter what.

And when he grew up and his status became stable, he didn't even know where he was being arranged to go.

Even though Li Zhi is still young, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian will not let him go and continue to grow bigger, and will definitely drive him away.

Therefore, Li Zhi becoming the prince ended his dream of being a prince, and made him more sad than Li Tai becoming the prince.

It was like a mountain was pressing on his chest and it was difficult to breathe, which made Li Ke almost crazy.

"Why isn't Li Tai sad?!"

Suddenly, Li Ke realized a problem.

That was Li Tai's behavior after the emperor summoned Li Tai two days ago.

He knew that he would never be crowned prince.

But he didn't feel sad when he found out.

On the contrary, I was a little happy.

what does this mean?
It means that Li Tai has other benefits!

And the advantage is that it is almost the same as the position of prince!
The position of the prince represents the status of the future emperor. What can be the same as the status of the emperor?

Li Ke couldn't understand, but he knew that between Li Tai and himself, he was the one who abandoned him. The emperor didn't even look at him, and there was no comfort or benefit at all.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Li Ke finally couldn't help it and roared angrily.

I don't know how much time passed, but the study was almost completely destroyed by Li Ke.

Finally, Li Ke walked out of the study, with an expression on his face as if nothing had happened.

But the floor of the study behind him was full of books, many of which were torn, and the desks were also torn apart.

"Go to Fang Mansion, immediately!"

Li Ke couldn't care less about being gossiped about, and he didn't care anymore and immediately went to find Fang Yuan.

He wanted to find Fang Yuan to do something big, something very, very big.

However, just after Li Ke left the Zhuque Gate, his men came to report that Fang Yuan had not returned home and was still in the household department.So Li Ke turned around and went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Fang Yuan.

As soon as Li Ke arrived at the household department, everyone in the household department looked at Li Ke.

If Li Ke lost, he could not be crowned prince. Many people felt it was a pity, but the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy.

But what is the purpose of coming to the Ministry of Finance at this time?
"Fang Yuan!"

Li Ke ignored everyone's eyes.

He quickly came to Li Ke's office with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, King of Shu, why are you here?!"

Fang Yuan frowned, surprised by Li Ke's sudden arrival.

The candidate for the crown prince has been decided, and it is not something that he can influence.

When Li Ke arrives at this time, does he want to use Princess Xiangcheng as a threat to himself?

"Fang Yuan, I will send troops, you will send weapons, and we will launch the Xuanwu Sect Change!"

Li Ke approached Fang Yuan, put his hands on Fang Yuan's desk, looked down at Fang Yuan, and said in a deep voice.

"Shh!!!!"

"Your Highness, King of Shu, you are crazy!"

Fang Yuan was almost scared to death and hurriedly walked out of the office door and looked around.

Fortunately, Li Ke left a few people to guard outside to prevent anyone from coming near.

"Fang Yuan, I'm crazy, will you let me go crazy?"

"I promise, as long as you give me weapons, if I succeed, I will make you the King of Side by Side, and the country will sit with you!"

Li Ke came to Fang Yuan again, grabbed Fang Yuan's clothes, and shouted.

He still controlled his tone and had a little sense to keep himself from going too crazy.

This is the Ministry of Household Affairs. There are many people here and the walls have ears. If someone hears something, the consequences will be serious.

"To shut up!"

Fang Yuan pushed Li Ke away.

Li Ke staggered back, almost losing his balance.

"If you want to die, don't hold me back!"

"Leave my office, leave the household department, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Staring at Li Ke coldly.

This is not the way to seek death, right?

If you want to die, go die on your own. What are you doing here at Hubu?
This is part one of the six, not the place to talk about rebellion.

"Fang Yuan, don't forget that you have something in my hands."

Li Ke calmed down a lot, but his eyes were still scary.

He was too sad, too powerless, to the point of going crazy.

"If you dare, go to the emperor and report me!"

Fang Yuan said without mercy.

He went straight back to his seat and sat down.

Princess Xiangcheng has been sent away and things have calmed down.

"Do you think sending Princess Xiangcheng away will not treat the problem?"

"As long as I tell the emperor, he will immediately search the world."

"Do you think the bad guys can find where Princess Xiangcheng is?"

Li Ke laughed wildly.

The reason why he didn't follow Princess Xiangcheng's carriage was because he didn't want to make too much trouble with Fang Yuan.

But now that the situation has become like this, he won't mind anything else anymore. Anyone who stands in my way will die!

"Just give it a try and see if you lose a lot or I lose a lot!"

Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold, he said in a deep voice.

He was not sure whether Li Shimin could investigate Princess Xiangcheng by mobilizing the whole country to find her.

But if Li Ke really wants to be like this, then let him see how terrible he looks when he is angry.

"Come on, let's see what I have to lose!"

Li Ke's voice became much louder and his eyes widened.

The position of prince will never have anything to do with him. What else does he have to lose?

"Your Highness, King of Shu, there is more to life than just being a prince."

"Now that the deal is done, can you just stare at that position?"

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

He felt that Li Ke was crazy and furious.

Once you vent that resentment, you should be able to get better.

Li Ke was crazy at this time, so Fang Yuan suppressed his anger and spoke politely.

"The wood has become a boat, the wood has become a boat"

Li Ke murmured, his expression full of struggle.

Sometimes he laughed, sometimes he was sad and angry, and his face became ferocious.

In the end, Li Ke squatted on the ground, held his head in his hands and scratched his hair vigorously, making bursts of beast-like sounds.

Fang Yuan looked at it and sighed in his heart, he was too attached to the position of crown prince, and Li Ke would be destroyed sooner or later if he continued like this.

That position is really harmful. It is estimated that no one can resist those eight words: if you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever.

After a while, Li Ke stood up with red eyes, sat opposite Fang Yuan, and seemed to calm down.

"Fang Yuan, as you can see, I'm crazy."

"I have nothing now, and I don't mind losing anything, but you are different. You still have so many opportunities, and it would be bad to lose them."

"You do me a favor, I will always remember it in my heart, and I will never threaten you with Princess Xiangcheng's affairs again."

Li Ke seemed to have calmed down, but his eyes were still shining with crazy light.

"Your Highness, King of Shu, I will not believe you."

"When I supported you, you said you would never threaten me again about Princess Xiangcheng. You say it now, and you will say it again next time."

"Even if I tell you, go ahead and say it. At most I don't want anything, and I don't necessarily think the emperor will deal with me for this."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

Li Ke is pitiful at this time. If the matter is simple, he can help.

But Li Ke still threatened himself with the matter of Princess Xiangcheng, so it was impossible to help.

Because if he helps this time, he will use it to threaten himself next time, endlessly.

I would rather live and die than be threatened by him again.

Of course, Fang Yuan felt that Li Shimin would still punish him, but if he didn't want anything and had a tough attitude, Li Shimin would have scruples.

"Three days, I only give you three days."

"I want you to cause an accident and let Li Zhi die accidentally."

"If I don't see Li Zhi die in three days, the news that you got Princess Xiangcheng pregnant will be known to the whole world."

"Note that it is known to everyone in the world, not just the emperor. Think about it yourself."

Li Ke laughed wildly.

He stood up and strode away seemingly coolly.

Fang Yuan looked at Li Ke's leaving figure and really wanted to stab him in the back.

He only dared to think of murdering the prince.

Just three days as he said. Will it really be exposed?
Fang Yuan would not agree to Li Ke, but he was also worried that Li Ke would really be exposed.

If you are really exposed, what should you do?

leave?

For a moment, Fang Yuan was in a dilemma.

After Li Ke left, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all excited.

Everyone knows that Fang Yuan ultimately chose to support Li Ke, contrary to Gao Shilian.

But Li Ke lost the election and came to Fang Yuan with great momentum. He asked people to guard Fang Yuan's office so that no one could get close to him. He could tell at a glance that they were talking about some confidential matters.

People are curious.

At the same time, Gao Shilian also took this opportunity to read Fang Yuan's book.

Inform Li Shimin that Li Ke was looking for Fang Yuan, and said that the two might be conspiring.

"I forgot to comfort this son."

After listening to the report, Li Shimin chuckled.

He thought that Li Ke's strength was not something to be afraid of, and he forgot to comfort him and give him some sweetness.

Now, he may be filled with grief and anger, and wants to join forces with Fang Yuan to do something to him.
