Tang Jian was originally on good terms with Li Shimin, and it was from his mouth that the position of crown prince must not be vacant.

As a result, Li Yuan directly issued a decree and appointed Li Chengdao as the emperor's grandson.

This move and behavior directly exceeded everyone's imagination.

"With the title of Crown Prince, no matter what Chengdao does, it will be much easier."

Li Yuan thought silently, his eyes passing over the officials in the palace who were in an uproar, and finally landed on the face of Li Shimin, who was full of disbelief, and smiled slightly.

I'm still too young to fight with you.

After Li Shimin came to his senses, his handsome face was livid.

He tried his best to suppress the rage in his heart and resisted the urge to draw his sword and hurt someone on the spot.

Li Yuan actually appointed Li Chengdao as the emperor's grandson!

This was completely unexpected by Li Shimin, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The decree was issued in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, unless Li Shimin was so heartbroken that he killed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Otherwise, the fact that Li Chengdao is the emperor's grandson cannot be suppressed or concealed.

Everything he had planned so hard seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

"I am a little tired. If there is nothing else, I will retreat from the court."

Li Yuan waved his imperial crown and proudly walked out of the hall.

A group of ministers were left standing there looking at each other, and finally looked at Li Shimin, who had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Everyone was silent and filed out of the hall one after another.

Li Shimin, who was left with a still expression and a pale face, stood there and stared blankly at the dragon chair.

……

Inside Tiance Mansion.

"Why, why would my father do this? My eldest brother is dead, and he still doesn't want to make me the crown prince!"

In the study, Li Shimin threw all the things that could be thrown in the room.

Even the bookshelf fell to the floor, and the entire study was in a mess.

The position of the prince, which he had always expected to win, had just disappeared.

Li Shimin couldn't accept this result at all.

The new batch of servants in the mansion were all silent. No one dared to appear in front of Li Shimin at this time, or even stay near the study.

I'm afraid that if I am not careful, I will encounter an unreasonable disaster.

But only one person dared to approach the furious Li Shimin, and that was Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji quietly watched Li Shimin venting in the corner of the study. After he vented, he sighed, "Your Highness, please calm down. Don't let your anger break your body."

"Calm down my anger? Auxiliary machine, how do you want me to calm down?"

Li Shimin looked ferocious, "I wish I could put a knife on his neck and ask why!"

Such rebellious words would probably cause an uproar among countless people if spread.

Only in front of Changsun Wuji could Li Shimin dare to be so unscrupulous.

First it was Li Jiancheng, and now it is Li Chengdao.

At the juncture of the competition for the crown prince, Li Shimin lost to the father and son one after another, which made Li Shimin extremely angry.

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's move really surprised everyone. Everyone originally thought that the crown prince's position was destined to be His Highness, but it was solved like this.

Nowadays, under the imperial edict, few civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are dissatisfied with this imperial edict.

At present, there is no room for recovery.

We have to look for ways to break the situation from other angles. "

Even though Li Shimin took control of the palace with thunderous power, he then took military power from Li Yuan and controlled Chang'an.

But now the civil and military ministers in the court are either veterans who followed Li Yuan in the uprising, or ministers who are leaning towards the prince. There are very few ministers who are leaning towards Li Shimin.

Therefore, the decree to appoint Li Chengdao as the crown prince was transmitted from the court to the local government unimpeded.

Li Shimin had nothing to do about this.

At this point, even if he puts a knife on Li Yuan's neck to threaten him, it will have no effect.

Li Shimin looked at the messy study and said blankly: "I killed the prince and the king of Qi, breaking your majesty's heart."

Changsun Wuji said seriously: "Your Highness, from the moment we decided to start the uprising, the prince and King Qi must die.

Now instead of worrying about whether to make His Majesty sad, we should be thinking about how to further expand the results of the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny. "

Li Shimin shook his head vigorously and said: "I am in a dead end. Auxiliary machine, what should I do in this situation?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Although Your Majesty has appointed Prince Anlu as the grandson of the Emperor, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for Your Highness.

But the actual situation is that Chang'an and the imperial palace are under the control of His Highness.

Even if Li Chengdao is the emperor's grandson, he is just a prince who cannot appear in the court.

In fact, he got nothing except occupying the title of prince.

His Highness still has the final say in the entire court.

His Highness can exercise the power of the Emperor under the guise of His Majesty's name.

But before the time is right, you must not wait to board Dabao.

Let alone harm His Majesty in the slightest.

Otherwise, His Highness's reputation will rise again, and it will be easy for the grandson to take advantage of him. "

"I understand." Li Shimin took a deep breath and his expression gradually returned to normal.

The next thing he has to do is to announce what he wants to do in the name of Emperor Li Yuan.

It has the same effect as Cao Cao's use of the emperor to control the princes.

"Auxiliary machine, will you put your father under complete house arrest starting tomorrow and prevent him from going to court?"

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said:

“What His Highness said is correct, His Majesty must be placed under complete house arrest.

His Majesty's order now only needs to declare to the outside world that His Majesty is seriously ill, needs meditation and cultivation, and is unable to handle government affairs.

Since the Emperor's grandson is not in Chang'an, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will handle government affairs and exercise the power of supervising the country on Your Majesty's behalf.

After His Highness takes over the power and completely controls the overall situation.Then you can find a suitable opportunity, prepare a fake edict, and find a reason to depose Li Chengdao as the crown prince. "

After hearing Changsun Wuji's plan, Li Shimin thought about it for a while, then smiled on his face.

"good."..
