Chapter 656

Jin Ling.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Opposite Li Tai sat a person wearing a large black cloak, with his whole face hidden in the shadow of a large hat.

He carefully pushed the hat back, revealing a face weathered by time.

Li Tai asked.

"Uncle, you came to see me late at night; is there any important matter?"

This person was Zhangsun Wuji.

Hearing this, he smiled lightly.

"Tai'er, you have been clever and intelligent since childhood and have read many poems and books; do you have no other ideas?"

Li Tai was startled.

Other ideas!

In other families, it can refer to any idea.

But for royal children, a sudden sentence about "other ideas" refers to that position.

He certainly had ideas, but how could he tell others?

"Uncle, don't scare me. Father Emperor said in person that he would not establish a crown prince. I just need to be a prince with peace of mind and live my wealthy life without worries."

Li Tai was only a teenager.

How could he deceive Zhangsun Wuji, this old fox?

Zhangsun Wuji chuckled twice.

"Tai'er, even if you are willing to be a prince with peace of mind, will Li Ke let you go?"

Speaking of Li Ke, Li Tai's face had some changes.

It's just that it flashed by, and he quickly suppressed the emotional fluctuation.

"Uncle, you also know that Father Emperor has always believed that his eldest son is that person. Great Tang might perish in the second generation, so there's nothing for us later."

There is resentment!

Words like "Great Tang perishing in the second generation" were all said.

Zhangsun Wuji suddenly reached out and held Li Tai's hand.

"Tai'er, that person is not the eldest son at all; it's just that His Majesty was deceived. The real eldest son died long ago."

"I am your own uncle; naturally, I most hope that you can become the Crown Prince of Great Tang!"

These words were spoken with sincere emotion.

Whether it was true or not, at least Li Tai believed it.

He also held Zhangsun Wuji's hand in return.

"Uncle, in that case, you want to support me?"

Zhangsun Wuji saw that Li Tai finally spoke his true thoughts.

He immediately put on the appearance of a kind elder.

"Tai'er, you are the legitimate son; if I don't support you, who else can I support? That Li Ke is simply not worthy!"

These words hit Li Tai's heart.

His heart, which had been suppressed for a long time, became active again.

Li Tai looked at Zhangsun Wuji with expectation.

"Uncle, but what should I do? Father Emperor's body is still very healthy, and he doesn't want to establish a crown prince for the time being."

Zhangsun Wuji smiled.

This nephew finally followed his rhythm.

"Tai'er, don't worry. Hasn't His Majesty already let you start presiding over the Hongwen Hall?"

Li Tai sighed.

Although he was young, his actions were like those of an old man.

"Uncle, the Hongwen Hall is full of old pedants and no important officials with real power; what's the use?" Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and taught him.

"Young man, don't be impatient. Power and such are all floating clouds. His Majesty can give it to you with one word and take it away with one word. What's important is that you have the Hongwen Hall, while Li Ke has nothing. Isn't that obvious?" Only after such a comparison did Li Tai become happy.

His fat face smiled with small wrinkles.

"So, Father Emperor still favors me more?"

"That's not enough!"

Zhangsun Wuji suddenly slapped the desk, startling Li Tai.

"That kid Li Ke, with literary and military strategies, is not a good person. Only by getting rid of him can one be worry-free!"

Li Tai was startled.

"Get... get rid of?"

Although he had also thought about it inadvertently. But he had never formulated such a plan so blatantly.

He was afraid!

Afraid that once the matter was exposed, he would be left with a bad name for eternity.

Zhangsun Wuji didn't let Li Tai hesitate.

He began to incite him.

"Tai'er, to get rid of him, why do you need to do it yourself? As long as you use Japanese ninjas, you can definitely do it without anyone knowing."

Li Tai was still hesitating.

Although he also wished Li (cjfa) Ke would die.

But assassinating a prince, this crime is too big; he couldn't afford it.

"Uncle, this matter is not urgent, right? Father Emperor's body is still strong; what's the use of me fighting?"

Zhangsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed.

It became sad and melancholy.

"Tai'er, His Majesty is now irritable because he is forced by Great Qin, and his actions are becoming more and more strange. In this imperial examination, he actually started to restrict aristocratic families."

"I am worried that once His Majesty's behavior is excessive, it will provoke some changes. Therefore, we must make plans early."

Hearing this, Li Tai was already a bit scared.

Zhangsun Wuji's words had already begun to reveal a bit of intention to rebel.

"Uncle, Father Emperor's behavior is a bit strange. But we as ministers should not judge recklessly. You go back; I want to rest." This was an order to evict the guest.

Zhangsun Wuji didn't move, not caring about his nephew's disgust.

"Tai'er, don't be stupid! Do you know why His Majesty keeps pretending to be an envoy and running to Great Qin?"

Li Tai really hadn't thought about this.

"For what?"

"His Majesty has been bewitched by that Qin Mu. Look at some of His Majesty's recent policies; they all carry Qin Mu's shadow."

"If this continues, Great Tang will sooner or later become Qin Mu's possession!"

Li Tai had to rethink.

Zhangsun Wuji's words made a lot of sense.

He had also noticed this. He couldn't understand why Father Emperor had to learn from that Qin Mu?

The national conditions are fundamentally different.

Great Tang's political foundation is the aristocratic families!

Seeing Li Tai beginning to waver, Zhangsun Wuji gave him another strong medicine.

"Tai'er, do you know what major event the Japanese embassy negotiated with Great Tang?"

Li Tai didn't know any more about this matter than anyone else.
