but.

If there is progress, there will be progress. The choice of emperor still cannot be decided hastily.

Although he already had some understanding and decision in his mind, he still thought he should take a look at these sons.

It would be nice to learn about it again.

then.

Li Er then continued: "Wang De, please give me a seat so that the princes can all sit down and talk."

"yes."

Wang De had no choice but to take the order and call his eunuchs to bring some chairs.

But in this case.

The princes became more and more frightened, they were afraid that something big would happen.

What if this is just the calm before the storm.

But what to do.

hiss……

After thinking of this, a prince quickly said: "Father, I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

They were still very curious.

To call people over with such a big fanfare, something big must have happened.

In other words, what should my father have to announce?

Therefore, many people's eyes became bright and alert. Li Er called them all over and explained that this matter was also related to them.

Li Er glanced at these people and said: "I know you are doubtful. I am asking you to come here this time because I have something I want to ask your opinion on."

"Father, please speak."

Li Tai was the first to express his position, thinking that he had the upper hand and thought that he would be able to attract his father's attention.

The other princes followed suit and said respectfully: "Father, please speak, I am all ears and ears."

Li Er's expression remained calm, as if he had not heard Li Tai's words, "Since you have made such a request, I will explain it to you."

then.

Li Er continued to talk and asked: "First question: Do you want to be the emperor?

If you have something in mind, you can tell me directly."

The princes: "..."

Isn't this too scary?

Isn't it too taboo for my father to ask this question?

After all, Li Chengqian is still the prince, after all, they don't have much ability.

To say that he has no thoughts about the throne is absolutely false.

But in front of your Majesty, they can't speak clearly directly, as that would be too embarrassing.

Besides, His Majesty Li Er is still watching.

This question is difficult to answer.

If you say it well, you will be given sub-questions, but if you say it poorly, you will be given a proposition.

In comparison, they felt that this issue was Li Er's test.

Maybe he is just waiting for everyone's answer.

Although I don’t know whether the guesses in my mind are true or false, most of them are definitely true.

really.

His Highness Li Er indeed wanted to test the situation. He wanted to see what his useless bastard sons were thinking.

He can tell at a glance whether it is true or false.

for a while.

All the princes looked at each other, and I looked at you, and they all looked at each other unfavorably.

But while Li Chengqian was still there, and while his position as prince still existed, no one dared to make a mistake.

So naturally no one would say that he wanted to be the emperor.

In that case, I am afraid that His Majesty Li Er will be furious.

Anyway, the princes present felt that Li Er's question just now must be to test them.

None of the princes are fools.

So they all started talking.

"Returning to my father, I have never thought about becoming an emperor. In my opinion, it would be just fine to be an ordinary free prince."

"That's right, I think so too. I hope my father will understand clearly."

"My son has never dared to covet the throne. Brother Gao Ming is young, powerful, gentle, elegant, talented, and has the honor of a prince. He is the best candidate for the throne of emperor."

"That's right, I also think we should give our full support to my eldest brother."

"The eldest brother is the prince, so of course he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"..."

After hearing the words of these bastard sons, Li Er felt inexplicably helpless.

His face looks so ugly.

These people probably thought that Li Er was just testing people's hearts.

But I don't know.

In fact, he really wanted to know what these princes were thinking. If possible, he would like to hear their opinions.

After a while.

There was silence in the main hall. The princes looked at me and I looked at you, and they were a little bit dumbfounded.

It's unclear.

Their thoughts are really surprising, and also really terrifying.

Li Er had no choice but to continue: "Since you don't want to say anything, let's go in order and tell everyone their reasons."

"..."

His Majesty Li Er's words made people very angry and dumbfounded.

Come on.

No one can run away now.

No one can escape, they have to talk about it.

As for what my father wants to hear, he can only rely on his own methods to guess.

If you can guess it, it's a good thing; if you can't guess it, it's a bad thing. If you're not careful, you may end the game.

When it comes to their respective futures, the future is still very important.

After sorting it out, the third child, Li Ke, is the biggest, and now it’s his turn to speak.

Li Ke actually knew very well that no matter what Li Er thought in his heart, he could not become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how peerless his talents are, no matter how good his talents are, because his mother-in-law is Concubine Yang, the blood flowing in his body is the blood of the previous dynasty.

So naturally he cannot be the emperor, nor can he have the chance to be the emperor.

Think about this.

Li Ke then stood up respectfully and said: "Father, I am your third son, but you must also know very well that because of Erchen's bloodline, I know very well that I cannot have a son."

If you have a chance to become an emperor, you may never have the opportunity to be an emperor in this life.

It is for these reasons that my son is also bold. Father, in fact, my son has no idea about the throne and gave up on it many years ago."

Li Er: "..."

Have you treated your son harshly over the years?

All of a sudden.

Li Er still felt quite guilty about Li Ke's son. After all, he was not her and Empress Changsun's child, so he didn't care as much as Li Chengqian and others.

Lameness is a given.

As soon as Li Ke said yes, the fourth prince Li Tai felt weird.

Without Li Ke standing in front of him, he smiled.
