I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 188 Li Shimin arranges the successor

"The prince is critically ill."

"I almost died."

"We didn't sleep all night and thought about it all night."

"Although this matter seems ordinary, and the prince is seriously ill due to wind and cold, we don't believe in such a coincidence."

"We will investigate, and investigate ruthlessly."

"If the prince is really not Feng Han, but was harmed by someone else, no matter who did it, we will get to the bottom of it and kill him and everyone involved."

Li Shimin's cold gaze swept over everyone present and said coldly.

This move made everyone's hearts tremble and they were filled with uneasiness.

Especially Li Tai, after hearing Li Shimin's words, he felt filled with fear and fear.

It seemed to be aimed at him.

"besides."

"After the prince's critical illness, we figured it out."

"If the prince is really caught in a cold accident and loses the prince, the situation in the court will definitely be in turmoil."

"If it's not an accident, but someone wants to harm the prince, it's because of this position."

"So we decided on one thing."

Li Shimin glanced at everyone present, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Everyone here raised their heads and looked at Li Shimin.

"This is an imperial edict."

"We have already written on it who the successor to the throne of the Tang Dynasty will be."

"If I still need to recuperate for a long time and cannot wake up, if we die, the person above this imperial decree will be the future emperor."

Li Shimin picked up an imperial edict from the table and held it up in front of the ministers.

All the courtiers looked at Li Shimin with shock and some surprise.

"Wang Hao."

Li Shimin shouted loudly.

echoed.

Wang Hao walked quickly into the hall and knelt in front of Li Shimin: "I see your Majesty."

"You are the commander of the Yulin Army and the bad guys, and you are also the most loyal minister who takes orders from us directly. I will leave this imperial edict to you."

Li Shimin handed the imperial edict in his hand to Wang Hao.

"My lord, I will never betray your majesty's trust."

"If I die, this imperial edict will be delivered to the hands of the most trusted person and will never be lost."

Wang Hao solemnly took over the imperial edict.

"We summoned you today to make you a witness."

"We have handed over this imperial edict to Wang Hao, and the person named in the edict will also be our future emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"of course."

"We can also tell you for sure that this successor is not among you, so please put your little thoughts away."

"Who are we going to leave it to, implying that it's not your turn to make mistakes in our decision."

Li Shimin glanced at his many sons with a deep warning.

Hear this.

Most of the princes didn't have any thoughts.

After all, they all knew that it was impossible to get the throne passed down from their father.

But only Li Tai.

At this moment, his heart felt like being struck by lightning, and his whole mind was buzzing. For him, Li Shimin's words completely cut off his chance to compete for the throne.

It is absolutely impossible to succeed in succession.

After all, the civil and military officials of the dynasty are here to witness it.

Zhongshu Ling, admonished the officials, six ministers, and all the princes.

They all heard the emperor's words with their own ears, and that was what the emperor meant on the surface. Even if he died, even if the prince died, it would not be their turn, and the final throne would have nothing to do with him.

"Father."

"Perhaps, only your eldest brother is the biological son you really value."

"Could this be the purpose of my elder brother's immature child?"

"We, are you so dismissive of us?"

"My son, you are unwilling to give in!" Li Tai's heart was full of unwillingness, and his hands in his sleeves were squeezed tightly.

For him.

Today's discussion made him feel like he was struck by lightning.

Lost what is most important under ambition.

"All right."

"I summoned you today to announce this."

"Everyone go back."

"Lao Si, you can go back to Luoyang."

Li Shimin glanced at the ambitious Wei King Li Tai and said something coldly.

"My son, please retire."

Li Taina bowed his head to Li Shimin. On the surface, nothing could be seen, but deep down in his heart, there was endless reluctance and resentment.

As for Jin Wang Li Zhi, he was still young at this time and had no idea about the throne, so he didn't care at all.

Everyone immediately exited the hall.

Only Wang De and Wang Hao were left.

"emperor."

"Is this Prince Li...General Li?"

Wang Hao asked respectfully.

"Except for Gan'er, our son is the only one who can pass on the great Tang Dynasty. Others..."

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and smiled calmly, but there was deep thought in his eyes: "After what happened yesterday, we have figured it out. There are too many surprises in this world." '

"I'm still standing here talking to you today, but I might die tomorrow."

"What will happen to our Qian'er if we die? What will happen to our Tang Dynasty?"

"So, we must make arrangements properly so as not to leave any further trouble."

"This imperial edict is the last guarantee we leave to Datang."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it?"

"Today you summoned all the officials and stated that the heir was not found in King Wei or King Jin, nor was it found in any of the princes in the hall. This made the officials guess that the death would fall on the emperor's grandson."

"This may provoke a new round of party disputes."

"Asking them to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's two grandsons may cause changes in the situation."

Wang Hao said respectfully.

Hear this.

Li Shimin was not surprised at all, but instead showed a very calm smile on his face: "This is the deeper gift we will leave to Zheng'er in the future."

"One emperor and one courtier."

"There can never be any changes in the court."

"If they want to fight, let them fight."

Li Shimin sneered.

Hear this.

Wang Hao and Wang De both had expressions of surprise on their faces.

One emperor and one courtier.

This is an eternal definition. No matter what era it is, as long as the new emperor ascends the throne, it will inevitably bring about major changes in the court, national policies, and changes in civil and military ministers.

When Li Zheng succeeds to the throne, the result will inevitably be like this.

The court must be cleaned up and replaced with his own trusted ministers.

Li Shimin deliberately released a riddle for the courtiers to guess. If they wanted to find support in advance and do something, that would be his gift to Li Zheng. If they clean up better in the future, they can perform better. , no need to show mercy.

"Your Majesty is holy."

Wang Hao and Wang De said respectfully.

"We have dispatched five hundred Yulin troops to guard the main hall where Gan'er is recovering from illness, but this is not enough. You ask the bad guys to also set up secret sentries. If Gan'er's concubine Anxi wants to see Gan'er, she must follow her the whole time. .”

"Be sure to protect Qian'er's safety!"

Li Shimin said to Wang Hao.

"I accept the decree"

Wang Hao took the order.
