Chapter 22 Li Yuan’s Courage

"Your Majesty did not make Li Shimin the crown prince, but instead made His Highness the grandson of the emperor?"

After seeing the letter, everyone in the Zheng Mansion and Zheng family were filled with disbelief at first, and then they were very happy.

The entire Zheng Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it even more lively and festive than the Chinese New Year.

Zheng Zhan, the ancestor of the Zheng family, laughed boldly, and the wrinkles on his face turned into smiles.

"Your Highness has been appointed as the grandson of the emperor, and the whole world should celebrate. Step-uncle, please go down and all the servants in the house will be rewarded."

The grandson is equal to the prince and both are crown princes.

What does Crown Prince mean?It is the candidate king.

As long as the word "jun" is included, it is completely different from the "subordinate".

In the entire Tang Empire, except for Li Yuan and Li Chengdao, everyone else was a minister no matter how noble their status was.

The entire Zheng family was extremely shocked by the letter sent by Wei Zheng.

This is where they were shocked.

Li Shimin launched a coup and killed the crown prince and King Qi, which was definitely a sure win for the crown prince.

Li Yuan is all under his control.

But now the identity of the crown prince falls on Li Chengdao.

This puzzled everyone.

However, even though they were confused and shocked, they did not doubt that Wei Zheng's letter was fake.

As the natal family of the Crown Princess, the Zheng family knows the prince's gang members in the East Palace very well.

Wei Zheng was Li Jiancheng's staff member. He was an upright person and always spoke his mind directly. He would not mince words or lie in his letters.

Li Chengdao, who had just woken up, was also shocked when he learned the news from his grandfather Zheng Jibo.

According to the historical process, Li Shimin quickly took control of the imperial city after launching the Xuanwumen Revolution.

In the end, he directly forced Li Yuan and conferred him the title of prince.

After giving the crown prince to Li Shimin, it didn't take long for Li Yuan to feel discouraged.

Fortunately, he no longer wanted to be the aggrieved emperor, and passed the position directly to Li Shimin.

Go and be a happy emperor yourself.

But even if Li Yuan abdicates, Li Shimin is still worried about him.

In addition to putting him under house arrest in the palace, he also pulled out his confidants in the court one by one and replaced them all with his own people from Tiance Mansion.

This is why Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and others ascended to the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty.

But now, it is completely different from historical records.

Not only did Li Yuan not canonize Li Shimin as the prince, he even made Li Chengdao the grandson!
Putting away Wei Zheng's letters, Li Chengdao showed an excited smile on his face.

"It must be because my appearance gave Li Yuan one more choice and made him unwilling to hand over power to Li Shimin.

With the title of grandson, it is more convenient for me to raise the banner to attack Li Shimin.

The Chang'an garrison currently only has tens of thousands.As long as I gather an army of [-], I can raise my arms and attack Chang'an.

If I were alone, trying to assemble an army of [-] would be like a daydream.

But now with the full support of the Zheng family in Xingyang, this is not a problem at all. "

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Li Chengdao looked up at Zheng Jibo and Zheng Zhan and discussed future plans with them.

And the butterfly effect of him, a time-traveler, coming into this world began to stir.

Historically, Li Shimin killed all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Although Li Yuan had other sons and grandsons, they were not direct descendants.

His direct descendants include only five, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Li Xuanba and Li Xiuning.

Moreover, the ability of a concubine to produce a son is completely incomparable to that of Li Shimin.

Therefore, when faced with the selection of the crown prince, Li Yuan himself was under the control of Li Shimin.

Naturally, there was no choice but Li Shimin.

But now Li Chengdao, the eldest grandson, is still alive, and his ability is very good, and he has the upper hand in Li Shimin's hands.

Under various trade-offs, it may simply be out of revenge against Li Shimin.

Let Li Yuan choose to canonize Li Chengdao as his grandson.

Li Chengdao thought about it a little and understood what was behind it.

Therefore, he couldn't help but admire Li Yuan, the imperial grandfather he had never met, in his heart.

It must be said that it is very courageous to make such a choice under the circumstances that will inevitably anger Li Shimin.

Zheng Jibo's eyes were full of excitement, "Li Shimin usurped the throne by his direct descendants, which is unpopular.

It seems that His Majesty is not willing to hand over the position of Crown Prince to Li Shimin, a rebellious official and traitor.

Your Highness, now that you have the title of grandson, you have greater righteousness. "

Through Wei Zheng's letters, he not only learned that Li Chengdao was named grandson.

I also learned what Li Chengdao did in Chang'an City.

The Xuanwu Gate guarded the gate with one horse, killed two city gate guards, and led two thousand of the prince's guards to attack Tiance Mansion.

The formation killed Wei Chi Jingde, the sword killed Prince Li Tai, and the horse dragged Li Ke.

Tiance Mansion was so bloody that Li Shimin had to bow his head and compromise.

The most important thing is that Li Chengdao, who accomplished this series of achievements, is still a 14-year-old boy!
When everyone was sighing, Li Chengdao said: "This is probably the last thing Grandpa Huang can do for me.

Although Wei Zhengxin said that the emperor's grandfather was recuperating in the deep palace because of illness.

But even a fool can see that it was Li Shimin's traitor who put Grandpa Huang under house arrest.

On the surface, he was supervising the country on behalf of the emperor, but in fact he was seizing power.

If nothing else happens, this traitor will start to do something against me during this time. "
