Li Shimin was also very angry with Li Xiang. When Li Xiang just came to the court, Li Shimin was angry, and Li Xiang had to find a way to coax him. Even if he took out his own money, he had to make the emperor smile first. Okay, otherwise you won't be able to do anything next.

Later, Li Xiang became strong enough. When Li Shimin arranged something that he didn't want to do, Li Xiang remained silent or fainted in the court. Anyway, it was still a passive confrontation at this time, and Li Shimin could still bear it. Yes, although the court ministers felt that Li Xiang was a bit excessive, no one would say anything. After all, Li Shimin's request was excessive.

But now Li Xiang is developing rapidly and has reached the point of direct confrontation. If you don't give me rewards, I won't accept them. Anyway, I don't like the things you give me, and Li Xiang even said it in the court.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been working for the emperor.

But what did Li Xiang say? What Li Xiang said was that he worked for the Tang Dynasty. This statement makes sense and does not catch the fault of exchange, but it will make the emperor unhappy, so other ministers always put the emperor first when speaking, and then the other. It's the Tang Dynasty.

But now Li Xiang keeps talking about the Tang Dynasty and nothing about the emperor. Isn't this crazy?

If other people had said this, the emperor would have already thought of ways to put on small shoes for you. But in the recent period, the emperor has caused a lot of trouble for Li Xiang, overtly and covertly. What can he do in the end? Haven't everyone spent their time properly? On the contrary, you will not be able to get out in the end.

"His Royal Highness Taisun does not ask for anything in return. He is really a role model for the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. I think that if you really want a reward, it is better to give it to Mrs. Liu..."

Changsun Wuji was the lubricant. Seeing that the two men were about to confront each other, he could only stand up and say a few words. On the surface, he was talking to Xini, but in fact he was helping Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's mother Liu's family background was not very high, and now she has reached the third level. In terms of family background, this status has reached the top, and there is no way to continue to increase the title.

But now the position of the crown princess is vacant. This is not a common thing. Someone has to fill it. According to Li Xiang's position in the East Palace, if the emperor finds another noblewoman, it will be equivalent to pushing her into a pit of fire. went.

What's more, it's impossible for Li Chengqian to want it. From the matter of the second son of the East Palace, everyone has seen that Li Chengqian puts his eldest son first, and nothing can go past him.

Therefore, the position of the crown princess can only be Li Xiang's mother. Otherwise, there may be a second coup in the East Palace. How the last crown princess got down is still fresh in everyone's memory. Who would push his daughter to the throne? When you take the position of Crown Princess, there may be a place for you next to Hou Junji. All the nobles understand this.

It's not that Li Shimin has never thought about this idea, and he also thought about using it to add some trouble to Li Xiang, but when he revealed this idea, the nobles stayed away, for fear that he would be involved in this matter. If they were related, it would be a catastrophe of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

If Changsun Wuji brought it up on such an occasion, he was really helping Li Xiang in disguise. Is his contribution small? It can be said to be the first job in the Tang Empire. If you refuse even this, it would be a bit too much. It would be a great honor for Li Xiang to really raise Li Xiang's mother to the position of crown princess.

The most important thing is to correct Li Xiang's identity. Originally, Li Xiang was just the eldest son of a concubine. Although he obtained the position of grandson through his merits, there are always people who use his identity to make things happen.

This time, Li Xiang's mother was allowed to directly become the crown princess of the East Palace in one step. Then there was nothing to say about Li Xiang's identity. This kind of thing had also happened in history, and it all depended on what the emperor did.

"Wei Chen believes that this matter is extremely appropriate. His Highness Taisun has fought for our Tang Dynasty for a long time, and the Liu family has made the greatest contribution."

Fang Xuanling stood up quickly from the side. He was thinking about Changsun Wuji's words just now. He thought about it over and over again. This should be the best solution. Mrs. Liu is now the mistress of the East Palace. It would be the same without this title, but the emperor was still thinking hard about how to reward Li Xiang.

If you give something imaginary, those people under Li Xiang will definitely not be satisfied, and even the important officials of the imperial court will not be satisfied. If this is the case, who will serve the imperial court in the future? We fought bloody battles on the front line, and when we come back, you will They were given some innocuous things, which also dampened the enthusiasm of the entire army.

But if you want to give him something real, Li Shimin is really unwilling to give it now. Li Xiang's power is expanding day by day, and now it has reached a point where he cannot contain it.

If some more substantial rights are given, then Li Xiang's strength will grow rapidly. What this guy is best at is expanding his power, often at a speed that others can't even imagine. Now Li Shimin also tasted the bitter fruit. While the major families were weakened, the people around him were also weakened. The only one who grew was Li Xiang.

Fang Xuanling persuaded Li Shimin in this way for the sake of Li Shimin. This is also the best solution. It will not increase the substantial power in Li Xiang's hands, nor will it make other people dissatisfied. It can also block the general public. Tang Jun opened his mouth countless times, this was indeed the best way.

Li Shimin was not a fool. Two important ministers stood up and said this. Li Shimin naturally thought about it before and after, and knew that this was the best solution.

But Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to suppress Li Xiang's contribution and not give him any good things. He also wanted to cut off a piece of flesh from his body so that he could regain the power of the court. , allowing himself to take charge of the court again.

But the problem is that the environment does not allow it. Even if you are the king of a country, you have to consider the thoughts of the army and the people. If you insist on doing this, it will not only hurt the enthusiasm of the army, but also reduce your reputation among the people. This It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

"Since both my dear friends think so, then you go down and draw up the edict, and let the Qintian Supervisor find an auspicious day to hold the canonization ceremony."

In desperation, Li Shimin could only agree to this idea, but the old man was so embarrassed that anyone could see that this happy thing made Li Shimin unhappy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

Li Xiang still looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water...
