Li Chengqian sat in front of the grave that was satisfactory, chattering endlessly. As he was talking, Li Chengqian started to cry again. There was actually too much grievance and helplessness in the crying.

Once upon a time, Li Chengqian was also a pride of heaven.

In the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin ascended the throne. On October 19, Li Chengqian, who was only 8 years old, was enthroned as the crown prince. Historical records show that Chengqian was "smart" and "smart and handsome", "beautiful and handsome, benevolent and filial", and Taizong liked him very much. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian's life, which was under one person and above ten thousand people, began.

But who knows... If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight.

As Li Chengqian grew older and suffered from foot disease, he began to rebel.

So Li Shimin "searched for the virtuous and used it to assist the palace", and selected more than ten old ministers, and famous officials served as auxiliary ministers of the East Palace, such as Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc., and ordered Liu Ju and Cen Wenben to go to the East Palace with Ma Zhou to talk to the Prince Chengqian.

However, these ministers ignored a very important point, that is, is this educational method suitable for Li Chengqian, and can blindly advise correct Chengqian's behavior that has already deviated?

Because you can find common ground by looking at the advice of Zhining, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others... These three people are almost like memorials, and their words are more fierce than the other, and their words are sharper than the other.

When Li Chengqian only built a house, Yu Zhining submitted a memorial to criticize him for being too luxurious; when Li Chengqian had fun with the eunuch, Yu Zhining submitted a memorial to criticize him, even compared him to Qin II.

Another Kong Yingda was even more intense. He immediately complained whenever Li Chengqian felt something wrong. The prince's wet nurse, Mrs. Sui'an, once persuaded Kong Yingda, thinking that the prince's age was not suitable to criticize and criticize in front of him. However, Kong Yingda said that I did this "no hatred for death", but the result was that "the advice was too high, and Chengqian could not accept it."

As for the last Zhang Xuansu, he was always advised. He wanted Li Chengqian to listen to him immediately. As for the result, it is even more conceivable... Li Chengqian could only become more rebellious and unruly.

You think it's over besides these, but of course it's not over. Behind Li Chengqian there is a chaser, Li Chengqian's younger brother Li Tai.

From the tenth year of Zhenguan, with the increasing degeneration of Prince Li Chengqian and the repeated enlightenment, Li Shimin's inner balance began to gradually tilt towards King Li Tai of Wei.

Because Li Tai likes literature, Li Shimin specially allowed him to open a literature museum in the Wei Palace and let him attract famous scholars in the world by himself. Many court officials with a more sensitive sense of politics immediately realized that this was a political signal the emperor deliberately sent.

Didn’t the Qin King Li Shimin, who also recruited talents through the Literature Museum, established reputation, and then replaced Li Jiancheng’s position as crown prince and finally ascended the throne of the emperor?

Since the emperor sent such a political signal, those who are interested will naturally flock to King Li Tai of Wei. So "there are many scholars and scholars, and the children of the noble wandering are even more familiar with each other, and the families are like a city."

Li Shimin once said personally, "If you live a life of life and die, what if the prince is unlucky, how can you know that the kings will not be the lord of the prince in the future? How can you be careless?" (Volume 195 of "Zizhi Tongjian")

This is too explicit, and all the civil and military officials in the court are very clear that the so-called "kings" of the emperor actually refers to the King of Wei.

Li Tai is a smart man, and of course he will not let down his father Li Shimin's trust and favor for him. Although Ju Suiliang, Wei Zheng and others have been trying their best to curb the King of Wei's throne, after all, there is an emperor behind him to support him, so the popularity index of King of Wei Li Tai in the Li Tang court continued to rise, and many court officials and powerful officials naturally moved closer to him.

Li Shimin once sent Huangmen Minister Wei Ting, Minister of Works, Du Chuke (Du Ruhui's younger brother) and others to serve as the general ministers of the Wei Palace. These two people naturally became the interests of King Li Tai of Wei. They worked very hard to thread Li Tai and made a large number of court officials.

Du Chuke even bribed the powerful and wealthy people of the dynasty with a large sum of money, and praised Wang Xianming of Wei, saying that only he was the most qualified heir to the throne.

In order to find a future political backer, the powerful and powerful are of course willing to bet their bargaining chips on the King of Wei, who has a higher chance of winning. Among them are Chai Shao's son, Chai Lingwu, the son-in-law Duwei, and Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai and others.

In just a few years, Li Tai established a Wei Wang Party with him as the core among the political leaders of the empire. His political goal was very clear, which was two words - fighting for the throne.

Faced with the position of crown prince of the Tang Empire, King Li Tai of Wei and his accomplices were ready to move and had great ambitions to win.

Li Tai firmly believes that Li Chengqian, a useless cripple, will sooner or later get out of the position of crown prince. Only he, the King of Wei, who is both civil and military, is expected to be the best candidate to enter the Eastern Palace!

The emperor is disliked by his father, the middle is his physical disability, and the younger brother is crazy about chasing and suppressing him. Li Chengqian is not crazy yet, but in fact he is already very strong in his mind.

But Li Chengqian, who was not crazy, still couldn't escape the fuel from one person.

"Chengqian..."

Just as Li Chengqian was crying, a man walked to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked up and shouted, "Uncle Wang... The father is really the same as you said. He only likes Qingque, Gu is a cripple, so he doesn't like it..."

The person who came was none other than Han King Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang was the seventh son of Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty. His mother was Sun Pin. This prince was once loved by Li Yuan. Li Yuanchang's calligraphy was received by Shiling. His ancestors told Xi Xian. Although he was in childhood, he had already mastered the style of writing. He was good at calligraphy, good at painting horses, and his handwriting was wonderful. He painted eagles, falcons, pheasants, and rabbits. He was impressed by his good hands at that time.

It’s just a pity that Li Shimin successfully seized the throne of Xuanwu Sect, and his favorite seventh son of the emperor became a little pitiful person who was trembling and waiting for his brother to deal with it.

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not touch his younger brother in the end, but instead liked his younger brother. When Li Yuan was in power, Li Yuanchang was the King of Lu, and Li Shimin should be named King of Han. You should know that the King of Han is a title with different meanings.

Of course, there is also the factor of Li Shimin making a show. He killed his own brother and was better to his other brother. Let the world show that it was not that Li Shimin was bloodthirsty, but that his own brother deserved to die.

Later, because Li Shimin was born in the same year as Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian, he also allowed the two to play together, which gave them more opportunities to get in touch.

But what Li Shimin didn't know was that Li Yuanchang and Li Jiancheng had a very close relationship. When Li Shimin and Li Yuan fought outside, Li Yuanchang was almost brought out by Li Jiancheng.

His feelings for Li Jiancheng made him very disgusted with Li Shimin. No matter how good Li Shimin was to him, he had a rebellious feeling towards Li Shimin.

"Chengqian, you are so kind... Kind that makes people feel distressed. Satisfied means dying from your kindness... Sometimes, people's destiny is in their own hands... Chengqian, General Hou has been waiting for you for a long time...!"
