Chapter 382 How dare he
"See Your Highness the Prince." Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Chengqian waved his hand, looked at Lin Xuan, and said seriously: "Zichu, tell Gu, why did you tell Gu not to ride a horse several times before?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback, why did Li Chengqian ask this suddenly?
"Your Highness, as the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit on the throne. Riding a horse is dangerous. Your Highness is honorable, so it's better not to take risks." Lin Xuan thought for a while and said.
He can't say, you will have foot problems because of riding a horse in the future, right?
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Zichu, do you have something to hide from Gu?"
Lin Xuan looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, tell me first, why do you suddenly ask this?"
He didn't believe that there would be no reason why Li Chengqian summoned him suddenly and asked him this.
Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, took out an invitation card, and handed it to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan took a look and exclaimed, "The king of Shu is back?"
This invitation was written by Li Tai himself, inviting Li Chengqian to participate in the Jockey Club.
Li Tai wrote on the invitation that he had invited Li Ke, king of Shu, and some sons of the lords of Chang'an, to hold a horse race ten days later, and invited Li Chengqian to attend.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, came to Shu in the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Lin Xuan has never been able to meet the king of Shu who was praised by Li Shimin for being courageous and like me.
According to the regulations, after the vassal king came back, he was not allowed to return to Beijing without a decree except for the New Year. Now there are more than two months before the New Year. How could Li Ke come back at this time?
"Concubine Yang's birthday at the end of this month, my father specially allowed King Shu to come back to celebrate Concubine Yang's birthday. I just returned to Chang'an a few days ago." Li Chengqian said.
It turned out to be the case.
"Your Highness, can you not go then?" Lin Xuan said.
Li Tai couldn't even ride a horse, and Lin Xuan had to be suspicious when he suddenly held a horse race.
Coupled with what happened in history, Lin Xuan was alerted that Li Tai might plan to do something to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian started to be highly praised in history.
"Sexual intelligence", "special sensitivity", "grand figure, benevolence, filial piety and profoundness" are all evaluations of Li Chengqian.
It can be said that when Empress Changsun was alive, Li Chengqian's performance in all aspects made Li Shimin quite satisfied.
In history, there is no clear record as to when Li Chengqian began to suffer from foot problems.
However, according to Lin Xuan's calculations from various aspects, it is very likely that it was after the death of Empress Changsun.
Because of the disability on his feet, Li Chengqian became a little inferior and his temperament changed drastically. In addition to the death of the eldest grandson empress, no one eased the conflict between father and son, and the relationship between father and son dropped to freezing point.
It can be said that Li Chengqian's ending like the one below was entirely due to his foot disease.
But it's only been six years since Zhenguan, how could it be so long in advance?
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xuan figured it out.
In history, when Li Tai took action against Li Chengqian, he probably had to do that because he saw that Li Chengqian's position was becoming more and more stable, and he could not see hope.
Now that the time has moved forward, it should be because Li Shimin named Fang Xuanling the crown prince and grand teacher.
What Li Shimin did was to help Li Chengqian stabilize his position. Seeing this, Li Tai was naturally unwilling, so he thought of doing something against Li Chengqian.
In Lin Xuan's view, Li Shimin made a foolish move.
If you want to stabilize Li Chengqian's position, you just need to let Li Tai go.
But because of his love for Li Tai, Li Shimin was reluctant to let Li Tai go, so he thought of using this method to stabilize Li Chengqian's position.
Li Chengqian asked back: "What do you think?"
Of course Lin Xuan felt that he couldn't go, but he knew that Li Chengqian had concerns.
If Li Tai invited Li Chengqian alone, Li Chengqian could naturally refuse.
But Li Tai not only invited Li Chengqian, but also Li Ke and some of the lord's children.
If Li Chengqian didn't go, he would not only offend Li Ke, but also offend those lord's children.
Don't underestimate Li Ke. In terms of age, Li Ke is one year older than Li Chengqian.
In addition, his mother was a former princess of the Sui Dynasty, and she was pregnant with the blood of two dynasties. In a sense, he is more suitable to be a prince than Li Chengqian.
As soon as Li Shimin came to the throne, he made Li Chengqian the prince because he knew what he had done, which made a bad start for future generations, and wanted to eliminate this influence by making the eldest son the prince.
If it weren't for this reason, it would be impossible for Li Shimin to establish a prince so early, and Li Ke might not have no chance to be a prince.
You know, there are many ex-Sui survivors in the court hall.
Those people still have feelings for the former Sui Dynasty. Li Ke has the blood of the two dynasties, so he can naturally get their support.
And those sons of lords, many of them will inherit the title in the future, and when Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, those people will be ministers of the court.
What would they think if Li Chengqian didn't go?
The emperor is still courteous to the corporals. You are still a prince now, so you just hold your own status and look down on us. If you become the emperor in the future, will you still have it?
If these lords do not support Li Chengqian, can Li Chengqian's prince be safe?
Lin Xuan believed that if Li Chengqian refused, the rumors about Li Chengqian's haughty personality, despising his brothers, and those lord's children would spread throughout Chang'an.
The three became tigers, and their bones were destroyed.
Reputation is very important to a crown prince.
Even though Li Chengqian is already the crown prince, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty object, Li Chengqian's crown prince will not be long.
In history, after Li Chengqian's rebellion was abolished, Li Shimin made Li Zhi the crown prince. Not long after, Li Shimin felt that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was weak, so he said to his eldest grandson Wuji: "You advise me to make the childish slave the prince, but the childish slave is cowardly. I’m afraid I won’t be able to defend the country, what should I do? King Wu Li Keying Wu Guogan is very similar to me, I want to make him the crown prince, how about it?”
Changsun Wuji insisted on objecting, Li Shimin said: "Do you object because the King of Wu is not your nephew?" Changsun Wuji said: "The prince is kind and kind, and he can be a monarch; Can you change it casually? I hope His Majesty will think it over."
After listening to Li Shimin, he finally dispelled the thoughts in his heart.
However, Changsun Wuji really has so much energy, can he influence the candidate for the prince?
If Changsun Wuji really has so much energy, isn't Li Shimin a fool, didn't he think about the issue of the power of his relatives?
In Lin Xuan's view, Li Ke failed to become the prince because no one supported him.
It was the 17th year of Zhenguan and 26 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. There were not many ministers in the court and former Sui Dynasty who were dead and old.
If Li Shimin forcibly made Li Ke the prince, when Li Ke ascended the throne, there would likely be a mutiny.
For the stability of Datang, Li Shimin had to dispel the idea of making Li Ke the prince.
It can be seen that the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and China are very important.
"Your Highness, if there are no accidents, King Wei should also send invitations to my ministers. At that time, Your Highness will change horses with my ministers." Lin Xuan said.
Li Chengqian's eyes were fixed, and he exclaimed: "You mean, Qingque will play tricks on lonely horses?"
Li Chengqian's face was cloudy when he thought of Lin Xuan's constant confession to him not to ride a horse.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I have to guard against it."
"How dare he?" Li Chengqian was a little unwilling to believe it.
To be honest, Li Tai has always been thinking about his position as the prince, and he wished Li Tai would die, but he never thought of doing anything to Li Tai.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be beyond redemption.
Li Shimin himself can kill his own brother, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate his son doing so.
Since he can imitate his brothers, can he also imprison his father?
