Chapter 383

No!

The Great Tang is shaken! (Asking for auto-subscriptions! Asking for full subscriptions!)

This can't go on!

The struggle for the Crown Prince is intensifying; a contradiction must be shifted.

Otherwise,

these two wicked sons will definitely fight to the death.

How can the contradiction be shifted?

"Qian'er is not our son!"

Suddenly!

Empress Empress Zhangsun's voice appeared in Li Er's mind again.

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

Right!

Since Qian'er is not my son, it means that somewhere, my son is still alive!

And he is my legitimate eldest son!

If this matter is announced to the world, wouldn't the contradiction between Qingque and Ke'er be temporarily shifted? Regardless of whether this legitimate eldest son of mine is in the world or not, he is the best tool to use right now! Thinking of this, Li Er already had an idea.

"Do you both want to be the Crown Prince?"

Li Er asked calmly.

"Your son dares not!"

Li Tai and Li Ke both replied absent-mindedly.

Even a fool could hear that this was just nonsense to deal with Li Er!

The surrounding officials all looked tense.

Sigh!

The Great Tang is already on its last breath, and the princes are still fighting for the throne.

These two princes are determined to be the Crown Prince!

In every dynasty and generation, the struggle for the throne is extremely dangerous!

This means bone-and-flesh fighting, brothers killing each other!

The Xuanwu Gate Incident a few years ago, isn't that a bloody example?

How long has it been?

And history is about to repeat itself!

Is it a curse?

Truly a troubled time!

If one is not careful, the Great Tang will be destroyed.

What should be done?

A tense and grave atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

Having been messed with by the Great Qin and Qin Mu again and again, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.

They really couldn't take any more tossing!

The officials looked at each other, all feeling a bit desperate.

No solution!

Unless there could be two thrones, one for each of them!

But that is impossible.

"I didn't want to tell you, but since you want to kill each other, then have it your way. But even if one of you wins, you won't win the Crown Prince position."

Li Er said calmly.

"Father Emperor, what do you mean? Qingque and I are on good terms; it was just a small squabble."

"Yes, yes, yes! We absolutely have no intention of killing each other."

Hearing this, Li Tai and Li Ke were suddenly panicked.

They felt that Li Er didn't want them to kill each other, which is why he said such absolute words.

Better to shake hands and make peace first, and talk about the future later!

"Hmph! Do you think I don't know the little schemes in your hearts? Putting on a show in front of me, and then fighting to the death after going back?"

"Give up! To tell you the truth, Li Li Chengqian is actually not my son!"

Boom!

Li Er's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding heavily in everyone's hearts. Everyone present was stunned, standing blankly in place, looking at Li Er with complex expressions. Especially Li Tai and Li Ke, both with their mouths wide open, their eyes nearly popping out in surprise. What!?

Li Li Chengqian is not His Majesty's son?

What the hell?

Just kidding, right!

However...

His Majesty would never joke about Li Li Chengqian!

That was his most beloved legitimate eldest son!

There is a hidden story!

This is absolutely a shocking hidden story that will shake the world!

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Du Du Ruhui asked, sweating profusely.

"Sigh! At this point, I won't hide it from you anymore." Li Er sighed and said pretentiously: "Why did I repeatedly go to Jiannan Circuit and Yizhou before? It was to inquire about the whereabouts of my missing legitimate eldest son!"

"I suppose you have also discovered that Qian'er is ugly, dark-skinned, and short, with no bearing at all; he doesn't look like the son of the Empress and me at all."

"About a year ago, I received some news that Qian'er had been swapped! My real son is actually wandering among the people!"

"Later, Qian'er learned this news from somewhere, so he raised an army to rebel, deciding to ascend the throne early!"

The empty square was silent.

Everyone's face was pale to the extreme.

Li Tai and Li Ke were sweating like rain, trembling all over, completely losing their previous arrogance and pride.

Li Er looked at the crowd calmly, his heart blooming with joy!

Hahaha!

I am truly too witty!

Just making up nonsense scared them like this?

But that's fine!

If they believe this story, at least they won't kill each other later!

Indeed!

Li Tai and Li Ke would not kill each other.

Because in the near future,

they would form a unified front and point their spears at that legitimate eldest son wandering among the people!

"Father Emperor, are you joking? A legitimate eldest son wandering among the people? How is this possible?"

Li Ke squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, his entire back soaked.

He said he didn't believe it, but in his heart, he had gradually accepted this fact.

"The monarch does not joke; can I say this in front of you just to joke with you?"

"Today I will issue an edict to make my legitimate eldest son wandering among the people the Crown Prince! As long as his whereabouts are found, the Crown Prince investiture ceremony will be held immediately!"

After speaking, Li Er ignored the foolish officials and princes and left the square directly.

In nearly half a day, the news spread throughout Chang'an.

The Crown Prince is not Li Li Chengqian!

His Majesty's legitimate eldest son is wandering among the people!

Is swapping a cat for a prince a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?

Li Li Chengqian rebelled only because he learned the mystery of his birth!

Rumors were flying in the capital.
