~6 min read 1,052 words

Who can stand this?

"Even if you say it to the heavens, I won't let Your Majesty go!"

Cheng Cheng Yaojin shook his big head, determined to keep Li Er.

"Old Cheng is right!"

Du Du Ruhui also nodded continuously.

The two instantly stood on a unified front.

Li Er saw that the hard way wouldn't work, his eyeballs rolling around.

Soon,

he thought of a way.

"Look at you two, what do you look like? Can't you discuss things properly?"

"Old Du, I heard your son Du He isn't young anymore, right? Has he taken a wife or concubine?" Li Er smiled slyly, looking exactly like a full-fledged cunning merchant.

"My son has not yet talked about marriage; what does Your Majesty mean?"

Looking at the smile on Li Er's face, Du Du Ruhui suddenly felt a chill.

A weasel paying respects to a chicken, with no good intentions!

"I just thought about it; Princess Princess Gaoyang isn't young anymore, and it's time for her to talk about marriage. Since Du He hasn't taken a wife yet, how about I make the decision to marry Princess Princess Gaoyang to Du He?"

Li Er waved his hand and said generously.

Actually,

he had this plan in mind for a long time.

This time, when the common people and the noble clans fought, Du Du Ruhui made a great contribution, fighting on the front line with his sickly body.

Li Er had long intended to marry Princess Princess Gaoyang to his son Du He, just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to explain it.

Isn't this a good opportunity now?

In fact,

Li Er once planned to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Fang Xuanling's son, Fang Yi'ai.

But ever since Qin Mu appeared, everything was out of control, and there was no time to handle these things.

And now,

Du Du Ruhui's body was getting worse day by day.

So he could only wrong Fang Fang Xuanling first and bestow this grace on Du Du Ruhui.

"Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for your heavenly grace!"

Du Du Ruhui was overjoyed, kneeling down and kowtowing heavily to Li Er.

Great!

In this way, my Du family is also imperial kin!

"Your Majesty, your humble servant has thought about it; Yizhou indeed has many places worth learning from for our Great Tang. As the monarch of the Great Tang, you should personally go and see." Having gained a princess daughter-in-law, Du Du Ruhui's tone changed immediately.

Cheng Cheng Yaojin, who was beside him, watched in a daze.

"Good, you old Du! You really know how to see profit and forget righteousness! Your Majesty, I also agree with you going to Yizhou!"

Cheng Cheng Yaojin also knelt down, looking at Li Er with eager eyes.

Damn it!

Do you think my daughter is Chinese cabbage on the street?

Give it away just because you say so?

"Get out, get out, get out! Wait until I come back to talk about it!"

Li Er waved his hand impatiently and scolded with a smile.

Just at this moment,

a guard ran over in a hurry.

"My son Cheng Chumou isn't young anymore!"

"Your Majesty, it's bad! Prince of Wu Li Ke and Prince of Wei Li Tai are fighting, and it's almost going to cost lives!"

"What did you say!?"

Li Er's expression changed abruptly, and he walked out with big strides.

On the square of the Taiji Hall.

A group of officials were noisy, watching Li Tai and Li Ke fighting.

"Damn it, you are just a bastard! Just because of you, you want to be the Crown Prince? Keep dreaming!"

Empress Empress Zhangsun's legitimate son, Li Tai, cursed Li Ke angrily.

"Hehe! Do you think you are any better? You privately raise dead soldiers in your mansion and secretly contact court officials; these are all capital crimes of rebellion! Father Emperor is wise and martial, and sooner or later he will find this evidence!"

"Just because of a fool like you, you want to be the Crown Prince? You even secretly told Father Emperor that after you inherit the throne, you would kill your son and pass it to your brother. To be the emperor, you are truly insane!"

Li Ke retorted, tit for tat with Li Tai.

Both were furious, punching and kicking each other, striking extremely hard, wishing they could kill the other on the spot.

"Two Highnesses, stop fighting!"

"Yes, you both have a chance to be the Crown Prince! As long as you cultivate your character, His Majesty will see your painstaking efforts."

"Sigh! A Crown Prince position, how did it turn into this?"

The officials watching the fun shook their heads and sighed.

Ever since the former Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian died, the princes had all begun to stir.

No one wanted to give up the throne of the emperor.

Especially the struggle between Prince of Wei Li Tai and Prince of Wu Li Ke, which had nearly reached the point of life and death.

This was not hard to understand.

After Li Li Chengqian died, these two princes had the greatest influence in the imperial court and were the candidates most likely to compete for the Crown Prince position.

There had long been rumors in the court and the public.

The Crown Prince position must appear between these two!

There would be no third person!

This was not unreasonable.

After all, among the princes, only Li Tai and Li Ke had extraordinary bearing and were quite martial, being the most like Li Er among all the princes!

"All of you stop!"

A thunderous roar suddenly rang out, and everyone shivered, hurriedly lowering their heads to salute.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Li Er ignored these officials and walked straight toward Li Tai and Li Ke, who were still fighting to the death.

"Stop it right now!"

Li Er was furious to the extreme, roaring again.

"Father Emperor, it was Li Tai who called me a bastard first!"

"Father Emperor, it was clearly Li Ke who secretly followed me, wanting to do something improper!"

Li Tai and Li Ke glared at each other, neither giving way.

If Li Li Chengqian were still here, they might not have been so arrogant.
