The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 683 Who Exactly Occupies the Eastern Palace (Third Watch)
After Li Shimin returned to the harem, he went directly to the bedroom of the eldest grandson Wugou.At this time, Changsun Wugou was not alone in the bedroom.Li Zhi was also beside his eldest grandson Wugou.

Hearing Li Shimin's personal eunuch, shouting that the emperor is coming.The eldest grandson Wugou hastily came out with Li Zi.After giving Li Shimin the royal gift, he and Li Shimin returned to the bedroom.

"Li Zhi, what are you doing here with your mother again? You are so old, can't you still be inseparable from your mother?" Li Shimin asked Li Zhi with a smile.

"Father, the son came here to wait for the father. Because the son has something to do, I hope the father can help the son to make decisions." Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"It turns out that I have something to look for, so let's talk about it." Li Shimin asked curiously when he heard Li Zhi said that he had something to look for.

"Father, my son wants to marry the emperor's brother's wife and sister, Wu Ze, as a concubine. I also hope that the father will issue a decree to grant the marriage." Li Zhi said to Li Shimin without any concealment.

"It turned out to be this matter, but I'm afraid I can't make the decision at this time. I'm afraid this matter requires your brother to nod. After all, you married his wife and sister." Li Shimin said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"I have already talked to the emperor. The emperor said that as long as my sister Wu Ze and I agree, he will not object to this matter, so I came to ask the emperor and the empress what they mean."

"As long as the father and the queen feel that this is feasible, then please ask the father to order a marriage." Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"In this case, I will prepare a dowry gift for you. Tomorrow, I will find a respected official to go to Youzhou to propose marriage for you." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Thank you, Father." Hearing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Zhi said to Li Shimin very happily.Then he left happily.

Looking at the back of Li Zhi leaving, Changsun Wugou showed a smile on his face.So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, what kind of generous gift do you think should be prepared, which would be more appropriate?"

"If it's for someone else to hire, I really have to think about it carefully, so as not to lose the face of my royal family with what I take out."

"But Li Tai is much easier to deal with. He is born to regard money as his life. It is enough to give him some gold and silver." Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"I don't think you're thinking about what to hire. You're thinking about what kind of dowry Li Tai should prepare for his sister-in-law. I don't understand. You two, father and son, can't you not plot against each other?" Is it?" Changsun Wugou said with a sigh.

"I don't want to plot against him, but this kid is not thinking of plotting against me all the time. Let's just say this time, in order not to be the crown prince, he just came here and left."

"You said that such an unfilial son, can I, as a father, not hate it? Now I can't wait to catch him and beat him a hundred times. Let him know what family law is." Li Shimin said more and more angry.

"I don't bother to care about the matter between you father and son. You can figure it out for yourself. In short, you can marry my daughter-in-law back." Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin with a smile.

……

Early the next morning, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and said, "Now that King Jin has come to choose a concubine, I think Wu Ze, the youngest daughter of the warrior Xun, is a very good candidate."

"So I'm about to make a decree to bestow a marriage, but I need someone to go to Youzhou to make a dowry to Li Tai, the King of Yan. I don't know, dear friends, who would like to go to Youzhou for me?"

If it was anything else, Cheng Yaojin would definitely be the first to jump out.He wished that there was nothing wrong, so he ran to Li Tai.

But Cheng Yaojin would not open his mouth to accept the betrothal gift.He knew Li Tai and his son very well.Li Tai is a money fanatic, and Li Shimin is an iron rooster.

The father and son bumped into each other, this job is definitely not so easy to handle.So Cheng Yaojin quickly lowered his head, not even looking at Li Shimin.For fear of being pointed at his head by Li Shimin.

Even Cheng Yaojin was unwilling to stand out, and the others were naturally even more unwilling to take up this errand.So each of them looked at the nose with the eyes, watched the mouth with the nose, and cared about the mouth, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Li Shimin saw that no one of the important ministers spoke, so he could only say helplessly: "Since no one has revealed their bravery, I can only call names."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, everyone felt uneasy.I'm afraid that this hard work will fall on my own head.But at this moment, Changsun Wuji stood up.

Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, since no one is willing to take up this errand, then the minister, Changsun Wuji, is willing to go to Youzhou."

"Since Zhao Guogong is willing to go to Youzhou in person for me, then I will leave this errand to Zhao Guogong." Li Shimin said to Changsun Wuji after nodding his head.

Just after Changsun Wuji received the imperial decree and returned to his original place.Wei Zheng came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, a country cannot live without a king, and it is also impossible to be without a prince. Please also choose a candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible."

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Wei Xiang is right, but I don't know who Wei Xiang thinks is suitable for this crown prince?"

"Reporting to the emperor to establish a crown prince is a major national event. I dare not speak in vain. This matter needs to be decided by the emperor himself." Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin.

Although Wei Zheng was straightforward, he didn't say anything in front of Li Shimin.Never thought of saving face for Li Shimin.But this does not mean that Wei Zheng is a fool, he will definitely not nominate a candidate for the crown prince.

Because in this case, it would be easy for Li Shimin to suspect that he had a different relationship with the candidate he had chosen.This is not a good thing for the person you recommend, or for yourself.

"I think the most suitable candidate is Li Tai, King of Yan. It's a pity that this kid is determined and will not accept the position of prince. Therefore, it is really difficult for me to choose for a while, who among the princes is more suitable to live in the East Palace " Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, among the three sons of the Emperor, the former Crown Prince Li Chengqian has been demoted to the status of a commoner. If Yan Wang Li Tai refuses to be crown prince, then Jin Wang Li Zhi will be the only one left." Changsun Wuji said.

For a long time, Changsun Wuji has never participated in the matter of Li Shimin's son seizing the heir.Although Changsun Wuji was a little inclined towards Li Tai in the later period, he never stood in the team publicly.

But today, he took the initiative to speak up and suggested to Li Shimin that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, should succeed him as the crown prince.This is indeed a little unexpected.

However, Changsun Wuji's nomination of the crown prince is quite different from that of Wei Zheng and others.After all, he is Li Zhi's uncle.It is understandable that the uncle hopes that his nephew will be the prince.

But Changsun Wuji's proposal is indeed very reasonable.After all, Li Zhi is Li Shimin's legitimate son. Although he is not the eldest son, he is now the only one who is most suitable to succeed the crown prince.

"Although Jin Wang Li Zhi is my son-in-law, Shu Wang Li Ke is also a good candidate. So now there are three candidates, namely Yan Wang Li Tai, Jin Wang Li Zhi and Shu Wang Li Ke." Li Shimin said.
