As the temperature continues to drop, the people in Chang'an City have begun to prepare New Year's goods for the New Year.

Winter is a good time for bacon.

At this time, the humidity is very low and the temperature is very low. Whether you use pork or duck to make bacon, you don’t have to worry about it breaking.

The entire Chang'an City seemed to be shrouded in joy.

However, at this time, a saying suddenly began to spread on a small scale.

Although this statement sounded nonsense, the interested person was shocked when he heard it and immediately felt something different seemed to be inside.

"Aye, how could this Li Kuan know about this news? Didn't you say that all the insiders in the past have been dealt with?"

Changsun Chong stood in front of Changsun Wuji in a little panic.

In the past few days, rumors suddenly spread in the public that "Li Kuan is His Majesty's eldest son, and Li Chengqian is his second son."

People who don’t understand the real situation may not take it seriously after listening to it.

But for Changsun Chong and others who know the truth, it is not that simple.

"I have been thinking about this for a long time for my father. Judging from the situation in the past two years, the Chu Prince's Mansion has become increasingly tough on us.

So it is not surprising that Li Kuan knew this secret.

As for how he knew, I thought about it carefully, and the most likely thing was what Concubine De told him."

Changsun Wuji's expression was also quite serious.

He did this very secretly.

Now that it is spread, he knows more clearly than anyone else what it means.

What would Li Shimin view this matter?

Did Concubine De tell him about this situation before?

What impact will it have on yourself?

Changsun Wuji found that his heart was actually a little confused.

"Empress Defei? Does she know this secret? If she knew it, it would be possible.

Whether it was Li Kuan who stood up to rescue Li You or specially arranged for the King of Qi to settle down for Li You, it was worth telling Li Kuan this secret."

Changsun Chong's face also became even more ugly.

What I thought was only known to me, my father and son, had now been spread.

This has a great impact on the Changsun family and is too bad.

"At that time, all the servants who were informed in the Qin King's Mansion were dealt with. But Concubine De was also in the mansion at that time, and she might have known something.

I was just a little suspicious before, but now it seems that it is very likely that she really knew or guessed it.”

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt a little regretful about why he did such a thing.

Even if Li Kuan is the eldest son, he has no advantage in front of Li Chengqian, the legitimate son.

Now I'm passive.

"Aye, after saying this, I remembered a scene. When His Majesty sent Concubine De to the West at the Weishui Wharf, Concubine De specifically asked His Majesty to hold him back and talked to him alone.

Did you say that she had already told His Majesty about this at that time?"

Changsun Chong's words made Changsun Wuji's mood worse again.

If you really say that to Changsun Chong, it means that many things in the past year need to be rethinked about the meaning behind them.

For example, what did Your Majesty think about the reform of the imperial institutions some time ago?

I have been getting closer to Li Zhi recently and I will deal with Li Kuan together. Will Your Majesty have any ideas?

Changsun Wuji's heart was a little confused.

"There is this possibility. Chong'er, you should pay more attention to the movements in Chang'an during this period, so that the people in the mansion can collect more information and analyze it carefully."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his mood.

...

Acetamin.

Xu Jingzong gathered with Ma Zhou in a rare way.

Although both of them were generals of the Chu Prince's Mansion, due to their disagreement, although there were no conflicts in normal times, they rarely had any intersections.

But this time it's different.

The rumors in Chang'an City are probably just listening to them as jokes after dinner, but they are different.

This is a huge thing.

"Yan clan, are you looking for me this time? Is it because of the rumors in the market?"

After a little greeting, Ma Zhou went straight to the topic.

He didn't have much else to talk about with Xu Jingzong. After thinking about it, this is the only thing he can do.

"Ma Zhou, do you think the things in the market are really rumors?"

Xu Jingzong asked this question clearly because he believed that Li Kuan was really Li Shimin's eldest son.

Even if this is really just a rumor, he is willing to regard this rumor as real content.

He even secretly regretted that he hadn't thought of this possibility earlier and let the news spread earlier in the market?

If this rumor was circulating in Chang'an City before Li Zhi was canonized as the crown prince, would Your Majesty still canonize Li Zhi as the crown prince at that time?

Xu Jingzong felt that everything was possible.

Of course, Li Zhi has not ascended the throne yet, and there is still a chance for everything.

So after hearing this rumor yesterday, he immediately made an appointment with Ma Zhou to discuss what to do in the future.

The traces of the Chu Prince's Mansion on them were too obvious. If the Chu Prince's Mansion ended in the future, their results would not be much better.

Even if they become villains or traitors, they may not be able to take you in so generously, and they may not be able to truly believe you.

Anyway, there are very few people talking about talents, but there are many people talking about them.

It is difficult to find pigs with two legs, but people with two legs are everywhere.

"Although I don't know where this rumor started, but when I think about the birth time of the prince and Li Chengqian, the possibility that the prince is the eldest son does exist.

But why did Li Chengqian become the eldest son?”

"I also went to learn about this urgently. When the prince was born, His Majesty was not in Chang'an City.

In the entire Qin King’s Mansion, Changsun Wuji is in charge of the affairs. Think about it, if you are Changsun Wuji and His Majesty’s two sons were born on the same day, then who do you hope is the eldest son?"

After Xu Jingzong said this, Ma Zhou immediately understood the reason.

If you are just in an ordinary noble family, you may only care more about the legitimate son, and you don’t have that big feeling about the eldest son who doesn’t have the eldest son.

But in the royal family, that's different.

This is really something that has to be inherited.

"According to your opinion, Changsun Wuji has done something wrong in it.

Think about it, Changsun Wuji has always been unable to get along with the prince these years, especially in the early years, when the conflicts between them were not that big, and he could do that without any need.

But Changsun Wuji still fought against the prince without hesitation. I was a little confused at that time. Now, after looking at it, everything is over."

Ma Zhou was silent for a while and said slowly.

"That's right, the prince didn't show any special performance when he was a child. He was just a playboy, so no one cared very much.
