This time, Wei Wuliang was arrested but no one pleaded for mercy or visited him. At this time, the prince had decided on the candidate and was waiting for the result to be announced. Before the announcement, no one dared to act rashly.

Li Chengqian did everything as usual, handling some memorials and government affairs every day, and went to the Three Books to attend classes.

Li Zhi also became quiet, but he had nothing to do. He asked Changsun Wuji to inquire about the candidate for the prince from his father. Changsun Wuji couldn't help but enter the palace at night.

The guards beside Li Er changed another person. Wei Jiu had seen this guy twice. A guy who never laughed or had any facial expressions. Changsun Wuji chose to ignore this person. His biological son asked Dai Changqing why he was locked up. Li Er replied with a small matter. Changsun Wuji asked what was the matter with some unwillingness. Li Er replied with a sentence that it was related to the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

As soon as these words were spoken, Changsun Wuji became more convinced that the position of the prince had been determined. Only when the new emperor was about to ascend the throne would the eunuchs and palace maids be replaced in the palace, so that the entire palace would become his person.

Changsun Wuji leaned forward slightly and said softly.

"Your Majesty has really chosen the candidate for the prince?"

Li Er smiled and picked up the hot tea. When he was about to put it in, he remembered the evil words, put down the tea cup and laughed softly.

"What do you think is the difference between Chengqian and Zhinu? If Chengqian became the emperor, which direction would the Tang Dynasty develop? If it were Zhinu, how would it govern the empire? If it were the former, I think he would not follow the path I expected. Chengqian was obedient, but he was arrogant and unwilling to live under the shadow of his father. This was like betting on life. If the bet was won, the Tang Dynasty took another step. If it lost, it would be the whole game."

Changsun Wuji nodded seriously and replied softly.

"The risk is very high. Cheng Qian has been strong since he was a child. He either did the best in everything or did not touch it, even if he made mistakes."

"hehe!"

Li Er replied with a chuckling, unable to hear anything, and said again after thinking for a while.

"If Chengqian became the emperor, the first thing he did should be to recruit his officials. Wei Jiu, who was close to him, had a stiff relationship with the gentry and wealthy families, especially the major families in Guanlong. Chengqian should recruit scientific and experimental officials from the poor families in the Tang Dynasty, and perhaps he would give the last blow to the major families of Guanlong to ensure the safety of the Li family. If this is true, how do you view this matter?"

Changsun Wuji's expression was as usual and replied softly.

"Your Majesty, Yang Guang, the former Emperor Yang of Sui, also thought so. His father also had a prosperous imperial examination. As a result, you see, Emperor Yang of Sui not only did not successfully suppress Guanlong, but also suffered a backlash against himself. Emperor Yang of Sui was domineering and Chengqian's temperament was also impulsive. If he suppressed the aristocratic family, he would be counterattacked. This may not be a good decision."

Li Er nodded seriously and said with concern.

"There is some truth to this. Chengqian is more like me and is too proud. It would be good if Zhinu was an emperor. He was a hard-working child, and he was not ostentatious in his work. He would continue to walk the path I took. Dao Ye is good. At least the Tang Dynasty can continue safely and fight a few wars that will not fail, and continue the current economic development, which is quite good."

"Your Majesty makes sense!"

Changsun Wuji did not pick on the trick this time, but Li Er was speechless, holding his cheek with one hand and looking at the palace gate with his eyes blankly, and said softly.

"But if Zhinu is letting him become the emperor, he will most likely lose a Wei Wuliang. This evil is not a genius or a talent. He is a smart genius. The disagreement between Li Zhi and Wei Jiu has already spread. How should this be solved? Slashing Wei Jiu with one knife is equivalent to cutting down the guide for the progress of the Tang Dynasty. But even if he is not moved, Zhinu will not let Wei Jiu go if he becomes the emperor, right?"

After saying that, Li Er turned his gaze to Changsun Wuji, who lowered his head to think.

This is indeed a problem. Wei Wuliang is not arrogant or domineering, but he is not good at having real skills. The rapid development of the Tang Dynasty has an inseparable relationship with him. Li Zhi will definitely not be able to live a good life for Wei Wu after becoming an emperor.

Changsun Wuji raised his head and said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, you must not give up the empire because of Wei Wuliang. Wei Wuliang is of course important to the Tang Dynasty, but the king of a country is an indispensable person for the country. Now the Tang Dynasty has become stronger, the Royal Academy has cultivated talents, and the scientific research institute is also constantly innovating. The old minister believes that Wei Wuliang is no longer the important Marquis of Zhiming that year."

After hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Er's mouth and said with a faint smile.

"Wei Wuliang is not important? You seem to have blurted out your words without thinking, right? Wei Wuliang's mind is ahead of the present for a thousand years, and he can also know something that has not happened. Sometimes I wonder if this evil will come to the future. If he can get along well with Zhinu, think about it, how can they get along well with them."

Changsun Wuji's heart was beating wildly. Could it be that His Majesty chose Li Zhi? He has begun to think about how to make Wei Wuliang and Li Zhi get along well? As for the solution, Changsun Wuji has one!

He grinned.

"Your Majesty! In fact, it is not difficult to let Wei Wuliang get along well with His Highness King Jin. Wei Wuliang is a bastard, but he is obedient. If you and the queen order him to pursue the King of Jin, this evil will not be refused. If King Hengshan Li Chengqian, King Wu, King Wei and others follow His Highness King Jin, and His Highness King Jin is increasing the rewards to Li Chongyi, Qin Huaiyu and others, Wei Wuliang will make contributions to the Tang Dynasty for his brothers to safely."

Um?

Li Er used his nose to make a puzzled sound, sat up and frowned at Changsun Wuji, and said in confusion.

"Follow Li Zhi? Why do you follow Li Zhi? He is the Marquis of Zhiming of the Tang Dynasty, why do you follow Li Zhi? I just asked you how to make them live in harmony, not to make who is superior, what are you saying? And why did Li Chengqian follow Li Zhi? He is the eldest son!"

As soon as these words came out, Changsun Wuji was stunned, looked at Li Er with his head tilted, and murmured.

"Your Majesty... Is Your Highness the King of Jin not the candidate for the crown prince?"

This time it was Li Er's turn to be confused, and he also tilted his head to look at Changsun Wuji and said softly.

"When did I say he is the crown prince? I just thought that if Li Zhi became the crown prince, he would make things difficult for Wei Jiu, just like Li Chengqian would make things difficult for you as the crown prince. I am thinking of a way to have the best of both worlds. As for who can be the crown prince, don't guess and inquire. Just do what you should do with peace of mind. I have chosen the right person and didn't announce it. I don't want you to waste the hard-won rest time. I also told Li Zhi not to inquire. I also have to deal with Wei Wuliang and Dai Changqing. You go back first."

Changsun Wuji's face was complicated. He could feel that His Majesty wanted to make Li Zhi the crown prince, but he also felt that Li Zhi was a little dissatisfied.

This night was in vain, and Changsun Wuji couldn't guess who the prince was.
