Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 23 Li Yuanji ran away overnight

After thinking for a moment, under Li Yuan's intentional or unintentional gaze, Li Yuanji spoke immediately.

"Dad, you ask me about this, how would I know this? Don't you know what kind of person I am?

If I had great ambitions and talents, I wouldn't be like this now. I don't even know how to deal with things, so how can I understand these things?"

Li Yuanji stole a glance at Li Yuan and saw that his face was still not good. Li Yuanji said again: "But since you asked me this, I will tell you that both my eldest brother and my second brother are talented and both are top-notch.

I have to say that I inherited very good genes from you, dad. As for me, I became like this. Anyway, no matter whether it is the eldest brother or the second brother, it is you who makes the final decision. It is up to you to decide whoever you like.

No matter who you choose, Dad, I'm in Lingnan and will definitely protect the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. You should ask Prime Minister Pei about this. I really don't know. The eldest brother and the second brother are both my brothers. What can I say?

If you force me to say it, they are both good and better than me, so I will admit defeat."

Li Yuan listened to Li Yuanji's words, and after a while he laughed, then looked at Li Yuanji seriously.

"Sanhu, you mean that both Dalang and Erlang are OK. Does that mean that in your opinion, there is no difference between the eldest son and the legitimate son?"

Li Yuanji felt even more bitter when he heard this. He really didn't know what medicine Li Yuan had taken to make him keep asking him questions, all of which were life-threatening questions.

What could he say? If this matter got to the ears of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he would offend people no matter what. However, that was not a big deal. At most he could offend one of them. But he didn't know what Li Yuan's attitude was.

If he couldn't handle it well, Li Yuan would just keep him there and he wouldn't have anywhere to cry.

Looking at Li Yuan's eyes, Li Yuanji finally gave up. At worst, he could just go back and leave overnight. He didn't want to stay in this broken Chang'an any longer.

Li Yuan, who he always thought was harmless, is now treating him like this. He was so moved by Li Yuan that he gave him so many good things before.

"Dad, let me be frank. No matter whether it is the eldest brother or the second brother, they have no way out now. No matter who you arrange to take the position, the other one will definitely not give up.

Dad, don't be angry. This situation is all your fault. It's already very difficult to strike a balance between the eldest brother and the second brother.

As for the eldest and second brothers, both of them are indeed talented, but I am more optimistic about the second brother. Now there are wolves all around the Tang Dynasty, and the eldest brother is too conservative. If we want to make the Tang Dynasty completely stable, the Tang Dynasty must be strong and eliminate the wolves around it. Only then will the Tang Dynasty become prosperous.

If you, Dad, have already solved all the threats around the Tang Dynasty and are only trying to stabilize the Tang Dynasty and develop the people's livelihood, then the eldest brother is suitable.

If you, Dad, have not eliminated the enemies around the Tang Dynasty, then my second brother will be the right person.

If Dad could resolve the grudge between the eldest brother and the second brother, and let the eldest brother take charge of the internal affairs while the second brother takes charge of the external affairs, that would undoubtedly be better.

However, there will be a new problem. That is, there are certain hidden dangers within the Tang Dynasty. Dad, you should be clear about the influence of the aristocratic families nowadays. No matter who comes to power, the influence of the aristocratic families on the Tang Dynasty must be gradually reduced.

Otherwise, what happened in the Sui Dynasty will be repeated in the Tang Dynasty one day in the future. I don't think this is what you want to see, Dad.

That's all I want to say. Now that my child has returned, if Dad is alright, I will go back."

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he saw that Li Yuan did not speak, but was lost in thought alone. Then he began to walk outside. After retreating outside the palace, Li Yuanji rushed directly back into the palace.

"Someone, call Xie Shufang, Su Dingfang, and Xi Junmai over quickly, quickly!"

After asking someone to call Xie Shufang and others, Li Yuanji went to the backyard and found Yang Qingwan.

"Ma'am, get ready now and pack all your things and load them into the car. We'll be leaving soon!"

Yang Qingwan was shocked when she heard this.

"Husband, what happened? Why are you so anxious? But in the palace..." Yang Qingwan was not stupid. Li Yuanji had just returned from the palace, and now he was so anxious. She knew that something must have happened in the meantime.

Li Yuanji didn't want to explain these things at this time. Telling Yang Qingwan would be useless and would only make her more worried.

Then Li Yuanji said softly: "Nothing, what else could it be? It's just that now we are going to Lingnan anyway, it's better to leave early. The imperial edict has been issued, and everything is ready. There is no need to stay in Chang'an all the time, lest those people think too much.

You should get ready now. You don't need to worry about anyone in the mansion except those who have been selected.

Go ahead, it's okay."

After comforting Yang Qingwan, Li Yuanji went out. Yang Qingwan looked at Li Yuanji's receding back, her heart full of worry.

The incident happened suddenly, so how could she be calm? Especially in the royal family, although things seemed glamorous on the surface, the crisis in the dark never stopped.

The entire Prince Qi's Mansion immediately began to move, and when everything was ready, Xie Shufang and others also arrived.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji looked at the three people and spoke immediately without any intention of greeting.

“I called you here because this incident happened suddenly. You should prepare now and the team will set off immediately.

Dingfang, after you go down, go ahead immediately. Remember, there is no room for delay, just go straight ahead.

Shufang, Junmai, you go down and pass on the military order. After Dingfang sets out, everyone should follow him, quickly!"

The three were all shocked when they heard what Li Yuanji said. They knew very well that they were originally going to set out the day after tomorrow, but now Li Yuanji was so anxious, something must have happened. It would be risky to continue staying in Chang'an, so they had to set out early.

The three of them looked serious and agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, my king. I will go down and arrange for the army to set out!"

After the three of them went down, Li Yuanji led everyone in the palace to the camp.

In the palace, Li Yuan still hadn't recovered after Li Yuanji left. He was still thinking about the last words Li Yuanji said. After a while, he smiled bitterly.

He really didn't expect that such a thorough understanding came from Li Yuanji, whom they all thought was stupid.

The irreconcilable fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was indeed created by him. Originally, he did it for the stability of the court and to be able to better control the political situation, and he did have other ideas in the middle.

Now that he wanted to make changes again, Li Yuan suddenly found that it was too difficult. Wasn't he aware of the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin?

He knew it very well, better than anyone else, that the conflict was becoming increasingly irreconcilable, so he began to get a little anxious.

Although Li Yuanji's words did not indicate who he supported, referring to the current situation, it has already made it clear. However, if we say that it is completely clear, referring to the current situation, it has not yet been made clear.

The Tang Dynasty is indeed facing external threats now, and these threats are not small, but the Tang Dynasty is also in urgent need of development, and the Tang Dynasty now has a lot of work to do.

Then Li Yuan looked inside.

"Come out, you all heard what Sanhu said, tell us what you think."
