Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 521 Li Xiang's Ambition

King Wei's Mansion.

"Why is Your Highness so excited?" Tian You looked at the excited Li Xiang and asked.

"Father is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Li Jue. I heard that he is now depressed and will be deposed sooner or later. This king will soon be the crown prince, so I am naturally happy." Li Xiang laughed.

During this period of time, there were countless ministers who came to Prince Wei's mansion to fawn on him, almost kicking the threshold of his mansion. There was a lot of traffic outside the gate of King Wei's mansion every day, which was very lively.

He even established a friendly relationship with Liu Rengui's family, and they hinted that as long as Li Jue falls, they will go all out to help him sit on the crown prince.

How could this not make Li Xiang happy, he even planned to bring his family to Chang'an.

"I plan to send people back to the fief to bring the concubine, mother and child to Chang'an in the near future." Li Xiang said.

"No!" Tian You hurriedly stopped.

"Now that the king is deeply trusted by the emperor, once Li Jue falls, I will be the best candidate for the crown prince. Why not take them to Chang'an?" Li Xiang asked.

"It's not that I don't want His Highness to bring the concubine and prince to Chang'an, but now is not the time. Your Highness is at this critical juncture, the more calm you are."

"Although you have gained a foothold in Chang'an now, it is not yet time to take your family members to Beijing. If you make His Majesty unhappy because of this, even if Li Jue falls, the crown prince may not belong to His Highness."

"We can't lose the big because of small things. Before His Highness becomes the prince, it's better not to take them to Chang'an."

"Because of this matter, don't cause your Highness's previous efforts to go to waste." Tian You said.

"I was too impatient!" Li Xiang said, he felt that what Tian You said made sense.

Tian You is his confidant and his think tank, and Li Xiang is willing to listen to his opinions in this regard.

"Now that Li Jue has lost his Sacred Heart and is indulging in sex all day long, why should we be so cautious?" Li Xiang asked, he was still a little unwilling.

"As long as Li Jue is still the crown prince, there is still a possibility for him to come back. Besides, Your Highness, don't forget how the late emperor got the great Tang Dynasty." Tian You reminded.

"You mean Li Jue wants to rebel?" Li Xiang asked in surprise.

He naturally knew how Emperor Taizong got the power of the Tang Dynasty. Even when his father Li Chengqian and his fourth uncle Li Tai were competing for the crown prince, they wanted to follow the example of Emperor Taizong.

But I don't know why, but later his father gave up the army, but the fourth uncle Pu Wang Li Tai conspired against him.

In the end, his father was able to successfully inherit the throne and became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Jue really wanted to rebel, in his opinion, it would basically be a dead end.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Tian You said.

"Then what are we waiting for? I'll go into the palace and report this matter to my father." After Li Xiang finished speaking, he got up and was about to go out, but Tian You stopped him.

"Why is Taifu pulling me?" Li Xiang was a little dissatisfied, and he hurried to Li Chengqian to inform him.

"Your Highness is going to see His Majesty like this! How can you tell Your Majesty that the prince wants to rebel, will Your Majesty believe it?"

"Your Highness said without evidence that the Crown Prince wanted to rebel, what would His Majesty think of His Highness? The Crown Prince's rebellion is just our guess. If you say so, you will really miss the position of Crown Prince."

"Even if the crown prince has the intention of treason, will the crown prince take action after what His Highness says?" Tian You said earnestly.

"Should we just do nothing and be anxious here?" Li Xiang said.

"Now is the most critical moment. Your Highness must hold your breath. We can only wait. Your Highness can rest assured that your Majesty will understand the actions of the Eastern Palace and will not let the prince succeed." Tian You said.

"Then let's do something!" Li Xiang said.

"Your Highness! You should enter the palace to greet His Majesty!" Tian You said.

Every day Li Xiang would go to the palace to greet Li Chengqian and report some work conditions.

"Understood!" Li Xiang said.

After tidying up, Li Xiang went to Daming Palace to greet Li Chengqian.

"I don't know why the father is sad, can you tell the son, so that the son can share the worry for the father!" Li Xiang said.

"It's not about the prince, it really bothers me." Li Chengqian said.

"The prince has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and now he has become like this because there are too many traitors around the prince, which has affected the prince's behavior."

"The prince's nature is not bad. It's all because of the people around the prince. If he has a good teacher to assist him, he will definitely be able to cheer up the prince." Li Xiang said.

Li Xiang's words are very impressive, Tian You taught him to say this, otherwise, Li Xiang would not speak for Li Jue.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Li Xiang's performance, if Li Xiang arranged the prince in various ways as soon as he came up, it would make him disgusted.

"Do you want to be the prince?" Li Chengqian asked abruptly.

Li Xiang was immediately elated, is this going to make him the prince?

However, he kept Tian You's instructions in mind.

Li Xiang saluted and said: "Report to my father! My son thinks, my son naturally wants to be the prince, my father let me be the prince, my son will be the prince, my father will not let my son be the prince, so my son will be the prince." A prince is enough."

"My son wants to be the prince because being a prince can serve the Tang Dynasty and the people better, and solve problems for the father."

"You are honest! I have been thinking recently whether the crown prince is suitable to be the future emperor, but after thinking about it, I still have no answer."

"You are my eldest son, I ask you, if I really hand over the land of the Tang Dynasty to the crown prince in the future, will you help the crown prince with all your heart?" Li Chengqian said.

"My son will definitely do his best to help the crown prince, and he will live up to his father's expectations." Li Xiang knelt down and saluted, but he roared in his heart: Why?
At this time, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to say these words.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Li Xiang's answer. He hoped that his son could work together and be respectful, but he was doomed to be disappointed.

"Father! I miss my family members in the fief. I don't know if I will allow my son to leave Chang'an and go back to the fief to visit." Li Xiang said.

"Let them come to Chang'an!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, father!" Li Xiang saluted.

After the father and son chatted for a few more words, Li Xiang got up and left Daming Palace.

Li Chengqian thinks that Li Xiang's suggestion is good, and he also thinks that the prince will become what he is now because the people around the prince have spoiled the prince, especially the prince's favorite boy Zhao Daosheng.

Therefore, Li Chengqian ordered someone to arrest Zhao Daosheng and put him in the prison of Dali Temple, planning to find him a crime and execute him, so as to stop the prince's unreasonable thoughts.

Poor Zhao Daosheng didn't know what happened, so he was arrested by the soldiers of the Imperial Army and thrown into the prison of Dali Temple.
