Chapter 1622 Succession to the Emperor
"Eh!" Li Shimin looked at the five-year-old Li Longji in shock. After a while, he asked, "Good boy, how do you know that I am the Khan of Heaven?"

"Because my father told me that the Empress is a female hero that only appears once in a thousand years. There are few men in the world who can compare to her. Unless Emperor Taizong is reborn, no one can defeat the Empress and revive our Tang Dynasty."

"So you must be Taizong's great-grandfather. You came down from heaven specifically to revive our Tang Dynasty!" Li Longji said in a baby voice.

"Well said!" Li Zhi and Li Dan slapped their thighs at the same time and said in ecstasy in their hearts. Li Longji's performance added a lot of points at first glance. Compared with Li Yi, who only guessed that Li Shimin was an ancestor, he was much better.

Li Shimin himself also showed his love for Li Longji without any concealment, but the throne could not be decided so hastily. Li Shimin thought for a while, and then asked the two people, "Listen, if I, the emperor, did not come down from heaven today and execute this bitch, let this bitch become the emperor, and change our Tang Dynasty into Wu Zhou, do you think our Tang Dynasty can still be saved?"

"Can our Tang Dynasty come back?" Li Shimin asked very seriously. He knew in his heart that this question was actually a bit beyond the scope. After all, there were too many things involved. Even Li Shimin himself could not predict it. It was really embarrassing to ask two children to answer this question.

But such a question can best test a person's character, and Li Shimin wanted to use this question to observe the characters of his two children.

"You are older, so you go first!" Li Shimin glanced at Li Yi and motioned him to answer first.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that even if the Wu Zhou Dynasty is established, the country will eventually return to the hands of our Tang Dynasty!" Li Yi said after thinking seriously for a while.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Because the throne of Wu Zhou will eventually be passed to her son, and the future successor will still be Uncle Li Dan or Uncle Li Xian. In this way, the country will naturally return to the hands of our Li Tang!" Li Yi replied.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded, without any other reaction. He just turned his head to look at Li Longji again and smiled, "Sanlang, what about you? What are you going to do?"

"My grandson will raise an army to retake our Tang Dynasty!" Li Longji said loudly in his baby voice.

"Oh!" Li Shimin smiled and asked, "Can you beat that Queen Mother?"

"I probably can't beat her. Daddy said that the Empress Dowager is too powerful. I am definitely no match for her!" Li Longji shook his head and said, "But I am only five years old now, and the Empress Dowager is already 65. I can wait until she gets old and dies. After she is gone, I can raise an army to punish the bandits and revive our Tang Dynasty!"

"Well said!" Upon hearing this answer, Li Shimin laughed out loud, slapped his thighs hard, hugged Li Longji and kissed him very hard, he actually loved this child to the extreme.

Seeing Li Shimin's reaction, Li Yi's face inevitably showed a somewhat lonely expression. Li Shimin could not bear it and explained, "Yier, it's not that the great-grandfather favors Sanlang, but he is indeed more ambitious and courageous than you!"

Li Shimin simply said, "According to your method, you just have to wait for this bitch to pass the throne to your two uncles, and then the throne will automatically return to our Tang Dynasty." "But I ask you, what if your two uncles die earlier than this bitch? And this bitch has a daughter. Since she is the emperor, why can't she pass the throne to her daughter?"

"Also, your two uncles have actually changed their surnames to Wu, so if they inherit the throne in the future, they can be the emperors of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, not the emperors of my Li Tang Dynasty."

"Also, this bitch has several nephews. They are the legitimate descendants of Wu Zhou. They can also be emperors!"

"So your idea is just to wait, wait for this bitch to find his conscience and return the throne to our Tang Dynasty. Everything depends on this bitch to find his conscience. This is a cowardly act of leaving your future to fate without making any struggle. Such a character is not suitable to be an emperor! And you can't take on the responsibility of our Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin looked at Li Yi and said very seriously.

"Yes, grandson understands what the emperor's great-grandfather meant!" Li Yi said. Li Shimin nodded and was about to say a few more words of comfort, but Li Yi continued, "But grandson insists that it is better to be still than to move. The world is destined to return to the hands of our Tang Dynasty. There is really no need to take the risk of raising an army, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will fall into endless wars again!"

"You..." Li Shimin was so shocked by Li Yi's words that he couldn't even catch his breath. Wasn't it obvious that Li Yi was bringing up his own Xuanwu Gate Incident?
If this wasn't his own great-grandson, Li Shimin would have wanted to kick him.

However, since Li Yi said so, Li Shimin completely gave up the plan to make Li Yi the emperor. Instead, he held Li Longji tightly in his arms and planned to formally announce his intention to make Li Longji the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the throne slipping away from him, Li Yi, who was actually 13 years old at this time, remained very calm. He was a descendant of Wu Wang Li Ke, and had no chance of becoming emperor. It was already a great fortune for him to be able to stand in front of Emperor Taizong today.

Being able to express one's understanding of the world and the situation is even more fortunate.

As for this most honorable position in the world, Li Yi actually had no great interest in it at all. Because he knew that this was the most honorable position, but also the most hurtful position. If he wanted to sit in this position from beginning to end, it would be the most difficult thing in the world.

Instead of doing this, it is better to be a free and easy prince, doing what you can for the world. It is enough to be worthy of the status of a member of the Li Tang royal family. What else is wrong with that?

Compared to the 13-year-old Li Yi's carefree personality, his father and grandfather were so depressed that they were about to cry.

The world finally had a chance to fall into their hands, but now it's lost again.

"Okay, draft an edict, and pass on my will. The world is in chaos, the female ruler is ruining the country, and the royal family is broken. At this extraordinary time, there must be an extraordinary person to inherit the imperial bloodline of our Great Tang to calm the world. Therefore, I pass the throne to..." Li Shimin was halfway through his speech, and when he was about to say Li Longji's name, he suddenly stopped. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. After swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva, he continued with an extremely embarrassed and helpless expression, "Li Yi, my great-great-grandson, grandson of Wu Wang Li Ke, and son of Songzhou Governor Li Kun! He has noble character and is very similar to me. He will definitely be able to inherit the throne and succeed the emperor!"
