Chapter 1617: If Wu Xu is not dead, he will not be crown prince
The emperor himself did not think clearly about why Fang Xuanling opposed his appointing Zhao Chen as the crown prince.
Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yizhi and Zhao Chen are teachers and students, and Fang Xuanling himself has a very good relationship with Zhao Chen.
According to all principles, Fang Xuanling should have supported Zhao Chen as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty like Wei Zheng without hesitation.
But why are so many ministers not objecting now? Instead, Fang Xuanling opened this speech?
Li Shimin himself couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Fang Xuanling standing in front of him.
The officials were also puzzled. They were the same as the emperor thought. Fang Xuanling shouldn't be the one who opposed Zhao Chen's title of crown prince.
Could it be that Fang Xuanling, who was the one who most opposed Zhao Chen to becoming the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?
Fang Xuanling really didn't see this.
If it weren't for the current situation, we would have thought that Fang Xuanling had a good relationship with His Highness the King of Han.
Knowing people but not your heart.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the King of Han was in the hands of Fang Xuanling at this time.
The officials whispered.
Fang Xuanling didn't seem to hear it, but his son Fang Yizhi was also in the court today. At this moment, he heard the discussions of all officials and his father just said that he opposed Zhao Chen's title of crown prince. He didn't know what it felt like.
Fang Yi instinctively felt that Zhao Chen was very nice to his father and son, how could his father do such a thing as to repay kindness and revenge?
He lowered his head and did not dare to look at the eyes of the officials.
But I couldn't leave here either.
Wei Zheng was also staring at Fang Xuanling at this moment, and he didn't know what the old guy around him had made today.
The emperor already wanted to appoint Zhao Chen as the crown prince.
Although some of the officials were unwilling to do so, no one spoke out against it.
But this old guy suddenly fell ill today?
You know, during the battle of Gaochang, if it were not for Zhao Chen, who led the army, first raided the granary of Luoxi's army and defeated the 100,000 Luoxi army.
Later, the Luoxi army was burned to kill the catapult and rescue Gaochang Capital from the fire and fire.
Nowadays, let alone great victory, maybe the Tubo army has entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Where did we come from the matter of conquering the people of Gaochang and demarcating the Gaochang Kingdom as the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
How many people can compare such credits throughout the ages?
In addition, Zhao Chen has put in so much effort and effort into the Tang Dynasty over the years.
Fang Xuanling should have seen this.
There are so many people, but he is the only one who opposes the remoteness?
"Your Majesty, there is a reason why I oppose His Highness the King of Han's title of crown prince." Fang Xuanling ignored the eyes of others and slowly said to the emperor.
Li Shimin did not answer, but looked at Fang Xuanling with a blank expression, waiting for his next answer.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the King of Han, has made outstanding contributions, which is unquestionable for all of us."
"But I have something to report to Your Majesty, the emperor passed it on for three generations, and the martial arts generation Li Xing!" Fang Xuanling suddenly said.
When Li Shimin heard this, his heart suddenly burst out again.
Since returning to the Tang Dynasty from Gaochang, Li Shimin has almost forgotten the prophecy.
Wu Xu returned to the Han Palace, but there was no movement.
This emperor passed down for three generations, and Li Xing's prophecy in the Wu Dynasty seemed to be without traces.
But now that Fang Xuanling said this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly stumbled.
The emperor passed down for three generations, and Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty.
He could not care about anything, but Li Shimin, the country of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, could not be indifferent.
Wu Xu has shown enough skills in Gaochang. He is a good person, and under Wu Xu's methods, he has already destroyed the country.
Wu Xu even joined forces with Tubo to prepare to deal with him in the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for the efforts of Zhao Chen and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I'd probably not know what would happen now.
Wu Xu is not an ordinary woman, even though she is not old.
Li Shimin really wanted to kill Wu Xu and remove this trouble, but this incident was just a rumor.
He killed a woman for a rumor, and was also the daughter of a hero. How could he, Li Shimin, take this action?
Moreover, Zhao Chen was caught in the middle. The emperor really killed Wu Xu. What would Zhao Chen think of him?
Li Shimin was in a dilemma.
Fortunately, after all the previous matters were handled, Wu Xu returned to Chang'an and was always in good manner.
Li Shimin himself almost forgot about this matter.
As a result, Fang Xuanling is now mentioned again, and he said it directly in front of so many people.
"What emperor passed down from three generations, and Li Xing, a martial arts generation?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it before!"
"The emperor passed down for three generations, and Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty should be said that after the throne was passed down to the third generation, there would be Wu's royal family instead of the Li family and take charge of the country!"
"ah?"
Someone among the officials immediately speculated about the meaning of Fang Xuanling's words.
"The surname is Wu?"
"There doesn't seem to be many people with the surname Wu in the world, but the one next to His Highness the King of Han seems to have the surname Wu."
"And that person was Queen Gaochang before, and it was because of her Gaochang that the country was destroyed."
"If His Highness of the King of Han is named the crown prince, then the man surnamed Wu will definitely make trouble with the power of the King of Han. In this way, the emperor will be passed down for three generations, and the Wu Dynasty Li Xing..."
"Your Majesty, I object to the conferment of His Highness the King of Han as the crown prince!"
"I also object to it!"
"Your Majesty, unless you kill the woman named Wu, I will not agree to the prince of His Highness the King of Han even if I die!"
The officials understood for a moment and knelt on the ground one after another, asking the emperor to take back the will to enthrone Zhao Chen as the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, although it is just a prophecy, the Tang Dynasty cannot be regarded as a joke. For all hidden dangers, it should be strangled into the cradle." Fang Xuanling also knelt down on the ground at this moment and asked the emperor again.
Li Shimin clenched his fists.
He was not angry because of the opposition of all officials, but because he had not thought of an excellent solution in this matter.
"Retreat!" The emperor let go of his fists, turned around and left.
"Your Majesty!" the officials shouted one after another.
...
"What's wrong with Your Majesty today? You're so frustrated?" Empress Changsun originally wanted to ask when Zhao Chen would come back to Chang'an, but she saw the emperor's gloomy face and didn't say a word.
It seems like someone owed him money.
"Guanyin maid..." Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun, pulled her to her side and sat down, and slowly told Empress Changsun what happened at today's court meeting.
"Guanyin maid, I have no idea now. With my understanding of that boy Zhao Chen, he will definitely not kill Wu Xu."
"But if Wu Xu did not die, the position of crown prince would not be passed to Zhao Chen." The emperor looked at Empress Changsun and slowly expressed his concerns.
Zhao Chen is good at everything, but he values friendship too much.
The emperor had no doubt that Zhao Chen would rather lose his position as the crown prince than save Wu Xu's life.
