Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Seeing Li Shimin revealing this intention, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were all shocked and discouraged.

"...This is absolutely impossible! Your Majesty, please express my condolences!"

Even so, Li Shimin couldn't restrain his feelings this time, and even the government was a little abandoned for a while.

Now, under the death of Li Yuan and the death of Empress Changsun, for Li Shimin, it can be described as a double huge blow in spirit.

Although Li Yuan ended up conspiring instead of dying, just like Li Chengqian conspiring against Li Shimin and trying to save his life in the future, how could the feelings accumulated over the years just disappear because of the conspiracy (Wang Lihao)?

After all, Li Yuan is Li Shimin's father, and it can be said that he is the one who has been with Li Shimin the longest in the world.

Therefore, Li Shimin was a little bit stagnant, and gradually became unwilling to govern, causing the officials and officials to complain endlessly.

In the original history, even after the death of Princess Yuzhang, Li Shimin wore plain clothes for a long time in sorrow, not to mention the death of Empress Changsun?

What's more, Li Shimin was so saddened by Yuzhang's death, all because Yuzhang was the adopted daughter of Empress Changsun, which shows how deeply Li Shimin used Empress Changsun!

Today, the important officials once again entered the palace to ask to see Li Shimin, hoping that Li Shimin can cheer up and deal with the affairs of the state.

After being decadent for a long time, Li Shimin finally spit out a sentence.

"...How about letting Yang Jie be the regent for me temporarily?"

Chapter 445 The Regent Prince Li You! (sixth more)

"what did you say?"

When Li Shimin spit out this sentence, everyone thought that he had heard it wrong.

After they were stunned for a while, they continued to persuade Li Shimin as if they had not heard.

"Your Majesty, people can't be resurrected from the dead, you can't just waste state affairs like this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Please cheer up, the Tang Dynasty needs you!"

"If you don't go to court, who else can replace you?!"

Looking at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng who were talking fiercely in front of them, Li Shimin was silent for a long time again and said it again.

"Didn't I say it just now? During this time, let Li You, King of Chu, be the regent for the time being."

The important officials in front of Li Shimin all froze in place.

They all opened their mouths in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time!

After a while, Wei Zhengcai was the first to react and shouted: "This is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty! It's absolutely ridiculous!"

Wei Zheng and Li You had already released their previous suspicions before, but there was nothing to celebrate. Besides, he was not a vengeful person himself, but he simply thought it was too absurd.

"That's right, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling was also stunned, "The act of acting as regent usually happens when the emperor is away for a long time without returning, or when the emperor is still young, and you are still living here. Chang'an, what is it?"

Zhang Liang shook his head even more: "Your Majesty, I'm not talking about you, but you are so messed up!"

Li Shimin looked at them and said with a blank face: "The matter of the regent has never been clearly stipulated what the situation must be. Now all I can think about is the Guanyin maid, and it is really not suitable for dealing with state affairs!"

Li Shimin is both emotional and rational.

He was too emotional, so after being hit by Li Yuan's betrayal and death, he was deeply immersed in the death of Empress Changsun and could not extricate himself from it. This was a painful emotion that Li Shimin could not control at all.

But at the same time, he is rational.

Li Shimin knew deeply that in this state, he couldn't do anything well at all, and he also lost the most basic correct judgment.

Obviously, as Li Shimin's confidant, several people present understood this very well.

After a long time, Fang Xuanling said, "Even so, generally speaking, it is the crown prince who is the regent. Now you have appointed His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who is not even his heir, to be the regent.

Zhang Liang also said: "Yes, this will definitely encounter infinite resistance! Do you think about what His Royal Highness will think? What will the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty think? So please think again!"

"Have you all forgotten that Prince Li Chengqian is currently under my foot restraint order and has not been lifted so far?"

Li Shimin's unwavering cold words silenced them again.

That's right, Li Chengqian is still in a state of grounding, and he can't be regent at all!

That's right, Li Chengqian is still in a state of grounding, and he can't be regent at all!

Later, Li Shimin asked coldly: "And I ask you, in all fairness, when it comes to governance ability, who is more powerful among my sons? Is it his crown prince Li Chengqian? Or his Yue Wang Li Tai? Or Where is Li You, King of Chu?!"

This time everyone was even more speechless. After a long time, Wei Zhengcai said bitterly: "There is no doubt, it is... His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

This is something that goes without saying, because among all the princes, only King Li You of Chu once ruled (babb) his fief Youzhou, and made Youzhou prosperous!

In just a few short months, Youzhou, which was originally in a bad location and was plagued by disasters, turned around and developed extremely prosperously. In the end, even the tax revenue surpassed that of Chang'an, which has been ranked first all year round!

In addition, after such a long period of time, Li You easily subdued Youzhou officialdom as soon as he took office, and then subdued all the aristocratic families with ease. Heard it!

Seeing that they had nothing to say, Li Shimin sighed.

"Don't worry, I can't be like this forever. When I recover after a while, I will naturally deal with the affairs of the government again."

When it comes to the end, Li Shimin's voice is firm and unequivocal, there is no doubt about it!

"And now, in order to keep the Tang Dynasty out of trouble and continue its good and sustainable development, I have to choose a temporary regent, not to let people feel the position in advance, so of course I have to choose the most capable. that person!"

This has been decided and cannot be changed!
