In the imperial study room, Li Shimin lost his temper.

"Qingque is only eleven years old, are you in a hurry to drive him out of the palace?"

Wei Zheng had a expressionless face, still with that rigid face, "Your Majesty, you had already set a system as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan. The prince entered school at the age of six, got married at the age of twelve, and was a country at the age of fifteen. This is the system of the state and dynasty, how can the orders be changed every day? Prince Ke of Hanzhong was born in the second year of Wude and was twelve years old. Didn't Your Majesty let him get married? Why was it King Tai of Qin but His Majesty refused?"

The emperor's sons, Chengqian, are fourteen years old this year and have been appointed as the crown prince for eight years. They have long been in charge of the Eastern Palace. After the ceremony of the crown three years ago, they also served as the water transport envoy and presided over the construction of the Grand Canal in the west of Beijing. They were quite successful and won unanimous praise from the government and the people.

The second prince, Li Kuan, King of Chu, died in the Hanjing Rebellion. The third prince Li Ke and Concubine Yang were born, the fourth prince Li Tai, the fifth prince Li You and Concubine Yin were born.

Now the emperors are only three princes, Li Ke, the prince of Hanzhong, Li Tai, the prince of Qin, and Li You, the prince of Yiyang. Li Ke has already been married this year, Li Tai and Li You are both in the same year, and they are both eleven years old this year. According to the prince's marriage system, it will be the turn of these two princes to become the first to become the first, and the government will be established and the government will be established.

Li Shimin glared at Wei Zheng angrily, can Li Ke and Li Tai compete with Li Tai? Li Ke was born by Concubine Yang and was a concubine's son, while Li Tai was born by the queen and was a legitimate son. Especially Li Tai was loved by Li Shimin and his wife since he was a child, and was forced to adopt Li Tai, the legitimate prince, to his deceased brother.

The prince moved out of the palace early and went to the East Palace. He was already a little alienated from the emperor and his wife. In the past three years, the prince was busy presided over the West Canal and was even more separated from Li Shimin. On the contrary, Li Tai grew older and older, but he was always by his side. Xiaopang was smart and fond of studying, which was very popular among Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't hesitate to send Li Ke out of marriage this year, but he would be reluctant to let Li Tai out of the palace next year.

Not only did Li Shimin not bear to send Li Tai out of the house next year, he even planned to take Li Tai with him to Mount Tai.

As soon as the emperor said this, he immediately exploded.

The prime ministers in the Imperial Study Room all opposed it.

The father-in-law of the King of Jin and the right concubine of the crown prince, Ma Zhou, also firmly opposed it. Next year, the emperor wanted to be a feudal temple in Taishan and the crown prince would stay in Beijing to supervise the country. How could the emperor bring Li Tai with him? Even if Li Tai was only eleven years old, it would not work.

"Auxiliary machine, you said."

The emperor asked Changsun Wuji.

But Changsun Wuji also opposed it. Li Tai was his nephew, and Li Chengqian was even more of his nephew. On the issue of heirs, the Changsun family in Luoyang had a firm position and firmly supported Chengqian. Li Tai was not allowed to be a nephew, and he could not give him any signs.

Li Shimin gasped in anger.

"Wen Yuan!"

Li Shimin called the name of Grand Tutor Li Chao.

Li Chao's hands were wrapped in his sleeves. In the cold winter, it was the end of the year again, and Li Chao was thinking about the New Year. He was named by the emperor, and he looked up lazily and stood up.

"Your Majesty, you can't set a precedent, otherwise, this system will not be a system."

"I and the queen both like Qingque, can't I stay with me for a few more years?"

"No!" Li Chao took it back without hesitation. The emperor may just want Li Tai to stay by his side for a few more years. This is considered human nature. After all, he prefers this son. But if this matter is passed on, it will immediately make people mistakenly understand other meanings.

Why did the prince compete for the legitimate legacy? Isn’t it because of the emperor’s inadvertently revealed meaning that foreign ministers misunderstood?

The Crown Prince Chengqian represents the interests of the Li family and the interests of many honorary relatives. It can be said that most of the honorary ministers in the court today are actually crown princes. Of course, while they are crown princes, they are also royalists. The crown prince and the emperor are one, and everyone is willing to see the crown prince successfully inherit the throne in the future, rather than any mistakes in the middle.

The meeting in the Imperial Study Room ended unhappily.

Regardless of whether Li Shimin was happy or not, the ministers firmly disagree with delaying Li Tai's marriage, and even more disagree with Li Tai's trip to Taishan next year.

The ministers left, and Li Shimin was still cursing there.

The emperor, who had been in the dragon throne for nine years, couldn't help but curse, "This is the family matter of the emperor, and these people are too concerned about it!"

Even if you scold me, after you finish it, you can calm down and Li Shimin has no choice.

As an emperor, he could not do anything with all the prime ministers. Especially in this matter, he didn't care about it.

During dinner, Li Shimin said to Li Tai with a dark face, "You will be twelve years old after the New Year."

Li Tai is eleven years old, and will be twelve next year. Although he is eleven years old, Xiaopang has not lost a little weight in recent years, but has become more and more fat. Now Li Tai is not a little fat, but a big fat. Li Tai, who is only eleven years old, is only half a head shorter than Li Shimin, but that head is stronger than Li Shimin.

If you sit there, one person will have to occupy two seats.

However, although Li Tai is fat, she is white and fat, and she is very cute, especially this little fat, who really likes to read. She has read a lot of books over the years. In terms of literary talent, Prince Chengqian is indeed not as good as him.

"Father, I want to accompany my father and mother more, but I don't want to go out of the house now." Li Tai was stunned for a moment and quickly expressed his opinion.

The queen sat aside and felt a little reluctant. The prince was always outside, and Li Zhi was not young, and Li Tai was always by her side, often making her happy.

The prince Chengqian next to him heard this, but turned his head to look at his fourth brother, "King Qin, you are not only the son of your father and mother, but also the prince of the Tang Dynasty. You have your responsibility. The system of the state, the prince was married at the age of twelve, and the country was fifteen. Isn't the third brother Ke also married this year? People are not as sensible as you. Brother Ke has moved out of the palace in a very generous and mature manner."

Li Tai was scolded by the prince's elder brother and felt helpless.

This brother is always too strict and does not look like his brother, but like his father.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "When you turn twelve next year, your father will give you a crown gift and then send you out of the palace. I have summoned the generals and the officials of the Ministry of Works to instruct them to build a Qin Palace outside the palace, which will definitely be very luxurious."

Cheng Qian suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the emperor and the crown prince are crowned at the age of twelve, and the prince is crowned at the age of 15, which is also the system of this dynasty. Your Majesty is to win the twelve crown prince now. What does this mean? Could it be that the father wants to change Taidi to the crown prince? What did your majesty do wrong? "

Cheng Qian's aggressive tone shocked Li Shimin.

He found that the eldest son seemed even more unfamiliar.

"Chengqian, what are you talking about? When did I say that I was dissatisfied with you, and when did I say that I would change the crown prince?" Li Shimin quickly scolded.

Chengqian refused to let go.

"Did Your Majesty have no intention of re-establishing the crown prince? Then why do you always do these misunderstandings? You don't want Taidi to get out of the box on time, and you also want to give Taidi a crown in advance. These ministers don't want to misunderstand, but they are afraid that they will misunderstand if they spread to the world, right?"

Li Shimin was really annoyed. This eldest son was not worried at all.

He slapped the table with his palm, and the bowls and chopsticks jumped up on the table.

"Damn it, I need to be taught by you, a boy? Don't rely on your reputation and achievements to be lawless."

Chengqian stood up and knelt directly in front of Li Shimin.

"If your son is wrong, please let Your Majesty make it clear. If your son does not match your son's wishes and wants to abolish the position of crown prince, you have nothing to say. You only ask your son to give him a fief, whether it is in the south or the north of the sea, you are willing."

"Bastard!" Li Shimin was really trembling with anger, and raised his hand and wanted to beat Cheng Qian.

The queen quickly stood up and grabbed it, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Chengqian, why don't you apologize to your father!"

Chengqian apologized to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was still very angry.

I didn't want to eat the food anymore and left with my sleeves.

The queen accompanied him and helped him to ease his anger.

"I'm so angry that I'm so angry. Chengqian wasn't like this before, but now he's becoming more and more arrogant."

The queen said, "Cheng Qian is old and sensitive. His Majesty's incident this time made him misunderstand."

Li Shimin shook his head, "I never thought about deposing the crown prince and changing it to the crown prince. Although Chengqian is becoming more and more disobedient, I admit that at his age, he can do this now, which is better than me. When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I was still in Chang'an with Xunqi's children and making friends with the children of Xunqi, making trouble everywhere."

"Empress, I just feel that Chengqian is always outside and Qingque is always by my side, so I want to keep Qingque in the palace for a few more years, but unexpectedly, the ministers and the prince are so sensitive. Alas, forgot, I don't think I have to wait for next year. Anyway, there are not a few days in the eighth year of Zhenguan. So tomorrow I will issue an edict to let Li Tai and Li You leave the palace and leave the palace."

"Ah, I'll be married tomorrow?" The queen was also shocked.

"If I don't express my opinion, I don't know what Chengqian is going to make trouble. Now I have discovered that the ministers of the court are protecting Chengqian. Are these people not my ministers?"

For the first time, Li Shimin actually became jealous of the prince. He thought that there were not many ministers supporting him back then, and now the whole court is actually supporting the prince.

"I will go to Mount Tai for the Fengshan after the New Year. Then you will go with me and the prince stays to govern the country. Do you think, who will I keep to assist the prince in governing the country?"

The queen didn't think about it, "Ti-Shief Li Chao."

When Li Chao heard Li Chao's name, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. In the past three years, he kept Li Chao under his nose, and stayed for three years. Li Chao only asked about political affairs and found a Beijing University in three years. But in the past three years, the Beijing University has more than one million students from nothing, from a wasteland, to the most lively university in Nancheng today. As well as the affiliated industries of the Beijing University, they are also blooming everywhere, and now paying taxes to the court in one year exceeds one million chunks.

This Li Chao can shine anywhere.

However, if Li Chao stayed to assist the prince, there was really nothing to worry about.

"Well, let Li Chao stay. If Ru Hui stays, he will stay. Ru Hui's health has been getting worse every day in the past few years. I'm afraid that he will not be able to stand this trouble."

On that day, Li Shimin selected four auxiliary ministers to assist the prince in charge of the country.
