If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 46 Let me go back to Chang'an?
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, all kinds of voices immediately appeared in the court.

Some ministers strongly opposed it, arguing that the Sixth Prince was a prince and was not very old, so he should not be allowed to take risks personally.

Some ministers expressed their agreement, such as Yuchi Gong and Zhangsun Wuji.

But Yuchi Gong agreed because he really admired Li An.

But Changsun Wuji had other plans.

The court soon became a mess.

Seeing that there was a heated argument in the court, Li Shimin waved his hand to stop the ministers from making noise and indicated that the matter could be discussed later.

After the court was dismissed, Li Shimin left Yuchi Gong and Zhangsun Wuji in the imperial study.

After sitting down, Li Shimin glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and said:
"Fuji (Zhangsun Wuji's name), why did you recommend the Sixth Prince to fight the Turks? Tell me the truth!"

Changsun Wuji's heart sank.

As an emperor, Li Shimin was not too arrogant and he usually spoke to his old ministers in this way.

Also, if he asks you to tell the truth, you'd better really tell the truth, otherwise he will be very unhappy!

"to be honest……"

Changsun Wuji sighed:

"I have recently observed the Ninth Prince and feel that he is kept in the deep palace and lacks some of your Majesty's decisiveness and courage!"

"Among your majesty's princes, Crown Prince Chengqian has been exiled to Qianzhong, and the other princes are still too young. Only the Sixth and Ninth Princes are slightly older."

“But although the Ninth Prince is well-read, he is not as brave as the Sixth Prince. If Your Majesty transfers the Sixth Prince back to Chang’an and lets him gain some experience in the northern frontier, he might be able to inherit the throne and inherit the Tang Dynasty!”

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

What Changsun Wuji said seemed to make sense.

But Li Shimin knew that his uncle loved Li Zhi very much.

From common sense, it is unlikely that he would help Li An to ascend to the throne!
This doesn't make sense!
But, these are probably all this old guy can say!
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Changsun Wuji to leave, leaving Yuchi Gong alone.

"Jingde, how credible do you think the auxiliary machine's words are?"

Yuchi Gong hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, why do you care about this?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned.

Regardless of these, why should I care?
Yuchi Gong smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Cheng Qian has been exiled to Qianzhong, and the other princes are still young. Only the Sixth and Ninth Princes seem to be capable of inheriting the throne!"

"If that's the case, you can't keep the Sixth Prince in Lingnan forever!"

"As for what Lord Changsun is thinking and how things will develop in the future, Your Majesty can just wait and see!"

Hearing his words, Li Shimin could not help but fall silent.

What Jingde said makes sense!

Since I have no choice but to choose between Zhier and Aner, it is impossible for me to keep Aner in Lingnan forever.

No matter what Changsun Wuji is thinking, I must transfer An'er back to Chang'an!
As for what will happen when he returns to Chang'an, we can just wait and see.

As for what Changsun Wuji's real intentions were, or whether there were other changes in the struggle for imperial power, it didn't matter.

Chang'an is the imperial capital after all!
As long as I am alive, Chang'an will always be under my nose!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin nodded:

"Jingde is right. It seems I should let An'er go back to Chang'an!"

……

Lingnan.

Li An was sitting on a chair, listening to Ye Zhun complaining below.

"Your Highness, I really can't stand it anymore!" "There are so many complicated things going on in Lingnan, but Your Highness only lets me make the decisions, while you spend your days in debauchery. I am already old..."

Ye Zhun cried with tears and snot.

Following this prince is such a hard life!
Before arriving at the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Ye Zhun thought that he was a man of unappreciated talent, so he was depressed every day.

But ever since the prince invited him to the Lingnan Palace, they had “encountered” each other, but every day the prince treated him like a working animal and exploited him to death!
The mountains of to-do items and the issuance of various government decrees every day are all handled by him alone!

Although Ye Zhun had fantasized about being an official and how glorious and colorful his life would be as an official before he became an official.

But as a clerk in the royal palace, he had to sit at a desk every day, dealing with all kinds of boring and tedious official documents.

From morning to night, no day is easy.

Even the time when I used to go shopping and take a look at the beautiful women waving red sleeves in brothels is no longer allowed!
There is no fun at all in being an official!
After crying, Ye Zhun simply sat down on the ground, looking like he was quitting.

This officer is not qualified!
Li An blinked his eyes, looked at Ye Zhun, stood up with a smile, and said earnestly:

"Chief Li, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Ye Zhun was stunned.

You little boy, you want to talk to me about the meaning of life?

Li An smiled and continued:

"The meaning of life is to devote limited life to infinite struggle!"

"For the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty, for the stability of Lingnan, and for the prosperity of the Zhennan Palace, we should all sacrifice our own interests and achieve great achievements that will go down in history!"

When Ye Zhun heard this, he couldn't help but blinked in disbelief.

Did the prince say this?

It seems too grand!

wrong……

His thoughts changed.

Your Majesty, you are fooling me!
Why don't you invest your limited life into infinite struggle?

Why must I be the only one struggling and sacrificing myself?
Li An listened and blinked again:
"this……"

"I trust your ability, so I give you so many complicated problems to deal with. How could I not give Xiao Feng the problem?"

On the side, Feng Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I think,
The key point is that I don’t know many words, what do you want me to do?
"Moreover, in my opinion, I will have to leave Lingnan sooner or later..."

Hearing his words, Ye Zhun and Feng Lang were both shocked.

what!
The prince is leaving?

When did this happen!

Li An smiled:
"Of course not now, but in my opinion, this time should not be far away..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the guards outside reporting loudly:
"Your Majesty, the imperial edict from Chang'an has arrived!"

Li An was stunned when he heard this.

Good guy!
I was just fooling these two guys, but the imperial edict came so quickly.

Soon, a young eunuch walked in quickly, nodded to Li An with a smile, then held up the imperial edict and read aloud:
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Sixth Prince Li An has governed Lingnan well, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the barbarians from all directions are subservient. This shows that he is extremely intelligent and talented!"

"I cannot bear to see the prince buried in a corner of Lingnan forever, so I order Li An to return to Chang'an from today!"

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Li An was completely stunned.

Wow, when did I become so accurate in what I say!
My father actually wants to go back to Chang'an by himself!
