Chapter 346
After Li Chengqian retired from the imperial court, he returned to the Ganlu Hall, because today the minister's request for the establishment of a prince made him a little upset.

"Everyone! The Queen and His Highness Prince Ning are begging to see you!" An eunuch trotted in to report.

Li Chengqian was even more dissatisfied when he heard the words, the queen came to him at this time, and even brought Li Jue here, without even thinking about it, he knew why.

As soon as he came back on the front foot, the queen came on the back foot, saying that he had nothing to do with Prince Li, and he didn't believe anything.

Li Chengqian did not expect that such a gentle and graceful woman as the queen would come to force him into the palace for the crown prince's position, which naturally made him even more annoyed.

The ministers want to force him to establish a crown prince, so is it possible that even his queen will do something to force him to establish a crown prince?

But after thinking about it, Li Chengqian was somewhat relieved. After all, the queen is not only a woman, but also a mother. It is understandable to seek the crown prince for her son.

As a mother seeking benefits for her son's future, he can naturally feel relieved, but the Su family is not only a mother, but also the empress of the Tang Dynasty. She should not only consider her son, but also take care of him as the emperor.

"Let them in!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The eunuch took the order to retreat, and came outside the palace to salute the queen and Li Jue: "Empress, Your Highness King Ning! Everyone is welcome."

"Don't worry, Jue'er, there is a queen mother, and besides, the father is not a monster that eats people, so don't be afraid." Li Jue, who looked at his hands trembling slightly beside him, comforted him with some fear.

"I know!" Li Jue said.

"Let's go! Other people's father has been waiting for a long time!" said the queen, and turned to the eunuch and said, "Thank you!"

The eunuch was immediately flattered!The queen's maid quietly tipped the eunuch some money, and the eunuch immediately smiled and thanked him again and again.

"The concubine sees the saint!" The queen saluted.

"Your servants see the father!" Ning Wang Li Jue saluted Li Chengqian.

"No courtesy! Sit down!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you sage (father)!" The queen and Li Jue thanked each other and sat down beside them.

"The queen and King Ning are here this time to establish the crown prince?" Li Chengqian said, directly specifying their purpose of coming.

Li Jue was a little flustered after hearing this, the queen stretched out her hand and patted Li Jue, signaling to him that she didn't have to worry about everything.

All this was seen by Li Chengqian, dissatisfied with Li Jue's cowardice, he was even more unwilling to make him the crown prince, but more willing to make Li Xiang the crown prince.

"Yes, the concubine came here precisely for this matter..."

"Okay! You don't need to say anything. I have no plans to establish a crown prince yet, and you don't need to think too much. I know when to establish a crown prince. I am tired. You all go back!"

Before Empress Su finished speaking, Li Chengqian interrupted her and issued an order to expel the guests. He didn't want to discuss with anyone about the establishment of the crown prince.

He doesn't want to mention it, but it doesn't mean that others don't want to mention it. Empress Su came here to give an explanation on the establishment of a crown prince. At least even if she doesn't set up a crown prince now, she must be sure that her son will be a crown prince in the future.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive my ministers and concubines for speaking bluntly. The crown prince is the foundation of the country. If the foundation of the country is established, the people's hearts will be stable, and the country will last forever. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a crown prince that has been suspended for a long time."

"I also ask your Majesty to establish a prince according to the law for the great Tang's country, the foundation of the ancestors, and the stability of the people of the world!" After Empress Su said, she knelt down for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was furious, and roared furiously: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. How can you, a woman like you, be free to talk about the establishment of a prince. If I will establish a prince, it will not be your turn to teach me when to establish a prince."

"Get out of here, go back to the Lizheng Hall, you are not allowed to leave the Lizheng Hall without my permission, and no one is allowed to approach the Lizheng Hall."

"Your Majesty! Even if my concubine dies today..."

"If you dare to talk too much, go back to the Lizheng Palace. I will immediately issue an edict to let King Ning go to the fiefdom, and never allow him to return to Chang'an." Li Chengqian roared and interrupted Empress Su.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Su collapsed on the ground. She just came to seek benefits for her son. If this really made his son go to the fiefdom, he would never be able to come back.

Doesn't it mean that she will never be the crown prince? Doesn't it mean that she has harmed Li Jue? The more Empress Su thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes.

"Mother's queen!" Li Jue rushed forward, turned around and knelt down to Li Chengqian and said, "I implore father and emperor to forgive mother, my son would rather not be a prince, but only ask father to forgive mother."

"Send the queen back to the Lizheng Hall, and contemplate behind closed doors for a month. King Ning and Li Jue stayed behind. I have something to say." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The maid stepped forward to help Empress Su, and sent her back to the Lizheng Hall. Empress Su let the maid support her along the way, without making a fuss.

She was afraid that Li Jue would stay away from her because of her fuss, and she might never see Li Jue again in this life.

"Jue'er, do you want to be the prince?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Think!" Li Jue blurted out without thinking.

"Why? Can you tell me? Is it because of power, or because of the temptation of the throne?" Li Chengqian asked.

"No, the son is for the mother, the father, the emperor, himself, and the people of the world! I admit that I have selfish intentions, but I want to be the prince not only for my own selfish intentions."

"In order not to make the queen mother no longer unhappy, I will be able to be happy after being the mother of the prince and son, and I am also for the father, so that the ministers and the people of the world will not persecute the father." Li Jue said.

"You have selfish intentions, so you want to be a prince, which is good! You say what many people want to say but are afraid to say."

"Who in this world has no selfishness? Even I have selfishness. People have the seven emotions and six desires, and all kinds of greed will breed."

"Jue'er, if I tell you that I won't make you the crown prince, will you be resentful?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Li Jue blurted out, "What is it about my minister that is not worthy of being a prince? My minister is not reconciled!"

"You told the truth! Do you know? It's not easy to be a prince. I have been a prince for more than 20 years, but I have been fighting openly and secretly with your fourth uncle for so many years."

"It's just a little short of it, and there will be no redemption. Although the crown prince seems to have infinite scenery, but it is a bottomless abyss, which will swallow many people who want to get involved in it." Li Chengqian said.

Li Jue didn't say anything, he didn't understand anything about it, he only knew that he should fight for the crown prince!
No matter what the reason is, whether it is for himself or for others, he has to fight for it, so that he will not have any regrets.

Prince, Li Jue has decided!
"Are you 14 years old this year?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Jue didn't understand that Li Chengqian would suddenly ask about his age, but he still answered truthfully: "Yes, my son is already fourteen years old."
