Chapter 572 Finale

"This damn evil woman has such a vicious heart that she won't even let go of my children. How good can the son he taught be?" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth.

Li Chengqian did not expect that Concubine Xiao was such a person. It was common for princes to compete for the throne, but it would not be like this.

"Your Majesty! What should we do now? Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!" Di Renjie said.

"Immediately get rid of all the informants and dead men sent by Concubine Xiao around the prince and grandson. Remember, do this without leaving any trace. Don't let anyone discover it! I don't want Mrs. Xiao to know about this yet." Li Chengqian said. "I understand. Your Majesty

, how do you intend to deal with Prince Xu? After all, this matter is more or less related to Prince Xu. Although he did not do it, it was because of him that this happened." Di Renjie asked.

All the related matters were planned by Concubine Xiao and his family behind the scenes for Prince Xu Li Sujie.

Although Prince Xu was not directly involved, he certainly knew the whole process of the matter. Even if Li Sujie was not the mastermind, he was an accomplice.

Therefore, He could not escape the fate of being punished.

"Prince Xu Li Sujie, do not move for the time being. Let it be as it is. Wait until you have settled all the matters on your side and after the burial of Prince Wei, then settle the account with them. The account is not late." Li Chengqian said.

"I obey your order!" Di Renjie bowed and left.

Within a few days, people around the princes and grandchildren would disappear for various reasonable reasons.

A month later, Li Xiang was officially buried and buried with the emperor in Qianling Mausoleum.

After resolving these issues, Li Chengqian began to take action against the Xiao family.

First, Xiao All of Concubine Xiao's brothers, uncles, nephews, and grandchildren were exiled to other places, far away from Chang'an, to avoid any trouble.

"Everyone! Concubine Xiao is here!" Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

"Let her in!" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes! "Wang Quan took the order, turned around and left the hall, and called Concubine Xiao in.

"Your Majesty! Why do you treat my mother's family like this? What did they do wrong?" As soon as Concubine Xiao came in, she started to question him directly. Li Chengqian.

"Don't you know what they did wrong?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty suddenly exiled them, how would I know?" Xiao Guifei asked.

"How did Li Xiang die?" Li Chengqian asked.

Xiao Guifei She was very surprised!

She didn't expect Li Chengqian to ask this suddenly. Could it be that the emperor already knew something? But he came to question me without any evidence.

Yes, it must be like this. As long as I insist on not admitting it, nothing will happen.

"What? You have nothing to say?" Li Chengqian asked. "

Wasn't Li Xiang assassinated by his tutor? Everyone knows about this. Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about this? This has nothing to do with exiling my people. What does it matter?" Concubine Xiao pretended to be surprised.

"Di Renjie has investigated the case thoroughly. This matter is related to you. Tian You is the assassin trained by your Lanling Xiao family. It was you who ordered him to kill Li Xiang." Li Chengqian roared

. Unjust!" Xiao Guifei said.

"Look for yourself what this is." Li Chengqian said, and asked Wang Quan to put the evidence in front of Xiao Guifei.

After Xiao Guifei saw it, she was shocked. She didn't expect that these evidences would fall into the hands of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am really wronged. These have nothing to do with me." Concubine Xiao Guifei said .

"You still dare to cry out for injustice. The evidence is solid. What else do you have to say? You vicious woman, you are so vicious that you dare to harm my heir. How can I tolerate you?"

"Remove the title of Concubine Xiao and beat her to death.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this! Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiao was panicked and hurried to save Li Chengqian . She had put so much thought into making sure her son could inherit the throne .

If Li Sujie lost the right to inherit the throne, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and drag Xiao away and put her in the cold palace." Li Chengqian scolded.

The guards immediately rushed forward, dragged Xiao away, and immediately put her in the cold palace.

That day, Li Chengqian issued an edict to depose Li Sujie's title of king and He was demoted to Duke of Wei and expelled from Chang'an.

At the same time, he ordered his youngest son Li Xulun to change his name to Li Dan.

"Your son pays homage to the emperor!" Li Dan bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Recently, you have done a good job! I am very grateful to you . "Satisfied, you are very good!" Li Chengqian said.

"I dare not neglect the tasks assigned by my father. I have tried my best to carry them out. I still have many shortcomings and need to learn more." Li Dan said.

"It's good to know your own shortcomings, which is better than being complacent. I called you here because I have something to tell you." Li Chengqian said.

"Father, please give me your orders. I will do my best to serve you." Li Li Dan bowed and said,

"I have decided to make you the crown prince!" Li Chengqian said.

"How can this son of mine be worthy of being the crown prince?" Li Dan was surprised.

"Your elder brother was either deposed or already dead, Li Wen "Li Wuyou is not a good candidate. You are the smartest among all the people. If you are not the crown prince, who else can be the crown prince?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Li Dan said. He didn't know what to say

. The edict to appoint a crown prince was then issued, officially appointing Li Dan as the crown prince.

Six months later, Li Chengqian died in the Purple Palace. He was posthumously named Emperor Gaozong. Li Dan immediately succeeded to the throne. In the second year, he changed the reign title to Wenming and appointed his eldest son Li Xian as the crown prince.
