The two little princesses, Li Lizhi, and several palace maids did not want to go back.
The villa is more comfortable!
"Young Master, I have something to tell you."
Princess Yuzhang stood up tactfully and said, "Sizi, let's go ride the bicycles over there."
"Yeah~"
The two little princesses left, leaving Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi alone on the sofa.
"What's the matter, Wu Niang?"
"Young Master, can my brother's leg be cured? You should know this! My mother and father are both very upset about this leg condition, and it will affect my brother's image as an emperor in the future."
"The emperor's image is not enough!"
"People will definitely point fingers at me behind my back because I have a lame leg..."
"Wu Niang, you misunderstood me."
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
Xiao Ran looked around and saw that Princess Yuzhang and the others had gone to play somewhere else.
"Because your brother isn't an emperor, how can you say it affects the emperor's image?"
"My brother is the crown prince, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. How is that possible?"
Li Lizhi frowned.
"Does the Crown Prince necessarily mean the Son of Heaven?" Xiao Ran smiled. "The last Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was your uncle Li Jiancheng. Although Crown Prince Yin is not as good as your uncle, he is not mediocre either. The Crown Prince for the Ninth Year was also diligent and impeccable, right?"
"What was the result? He didn't become emperor, and he's not even alive anymore."
"Before that was the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang killed Yang Yong and seized the throne. The period before the Sui Dynasty was even more chaotic. Wu Niang, you're also well-read. Do you remember the last time a crown prince successfully ascended the throne?"
Li Lizhi pondered, "It seems like it's been a long time since a crown prince has successfully inherited the throne."
"So, it's normal that your brother can't become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There's nothing surprising about it. According to normal historical development, your aunt doesn't have much time left. Without your aunt to mediate, the relationship between your brother and grandfather is actually very ordinary."
Li Lizhi nodded.
"Many people in later generations said that my uncle's Xuanwu Gate Incident set a precedent for the succession of the Li Tang throne, where job interviews were held at Xuanwu Gate, and attributed the Tang Dynasty's subsequent problems to my uncle..."
Li Lizhi didn't quite understand, but she roughly understood it.
"Young Master, are you saying that the power transfer in the Tang Dynasty was not peaceful?"
"There were various coups, too many to remember, but it was said that my uncle was the one who led them."
"I think it's unfair to say that about my uncle."
"The imperial family is the most ruthless. Brothers kill each other, and the quarrels between flesh and blood were not started by my uncle."
"A little further back, there was also a falling out between Yang Guang and Yang Yong. Why didn't they say it was Emperor Yang of Sui who started it?"
"After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Hu Hai killed all his brothers and sisters. If there is a beginning, it should be someone like Hu Hai. This has been the case since ancient times, not just in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Lizhi nodded in agreement.
"So the throne belongs to my second brother?" Li Lizhi thought of Li Tai.
"Wu Niang, do you think it's the King of Wei? To be more precise, it's the King of Yue now."
"Apart from my elder brother, my second brother is more favored, and it is even more impossible for others." Li Lizhi really couldn't think of anyone else who would inherit the throne except Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
"You may not believe this, but your two brothers fought for the throne, and in the end both of them were deposed."
"Ah???" Li Lizhi was shocked. "Aren't they two brothers?"
"The eldest uncle was actually very good to your two brothers. If it were any other emperor, your brother would have been dead for sure, but the eldest uncle didn't kill him. Even when your brother rebelled, the eldest uncle didn't have the heart to kill him."
Li Lizhi's eyes widened. "Brother, are you rebelling? Are you rebelling against Grandpa?"
Li Lizhi was shocked!
"Yes! When you're cornered and have no other options, don't you just rebel?"
"Brother, you are confused! Who is my grandfather? How dare he rebel?" Li Lizhi had no intention of offending Li Shimin, nor did she mean to imply anything about Li Shimin.
Just stating a fact.
Who is Li Shimin?
Rebelling against Li Shimin was indeed a bit unreasonable.
Xiao Ran also complained in his heart that Li Chengqian couldn't even copy it.
The situations of Li Chengqian and Li Tai are actually similar to those of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. The eldest son is the eldest legitimate son, but is not very popular. The second son's influence and prestige are growing, which has affected the eldest son.
According to Xiao Ran's idea, Li Chengqian should just learn from Li Shimin, not rebel, and just kill Li Tai and Li Zhi. Then Li Chengqian would be the only legitimate son.
If you are worried, just go all out and deal with the other princes as well.
This is what Hu Hai did. Hu Hai was even more ruthless and did not even let the princess go.
"The final result was that your brother's rebellion was easily resolved and posed no threat to my uncle at all."
"If neither of the two brothers is the crown prince, who is the crown prince?" Li Lizhi is very concerned about this issue now.
This is very important, especially to Li Lizhi.
"Your brother, Li Zhi!"
"Child slave? It's a child slave!"
Li Lizhi felt that this seemed barely acceptable.
They are all from the direct lineage, born to Empress Changsun.
Li Lizhi didn't want Li Chengqian and Li Tai to become enemies. She didn't know this before, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistake this time.
"Young Master, what do you think of Zhinu? Is he a qualified emperor?"
"I'm definitely not as good as my uncle, but I'm not bad either. The peak of the Tang Dynasty was during Li Zhi's reign, and the Yonghui Reign was during Li Zhi's time."
Li Lizhi felt a little better.
Make up your mind to change these things as much as possible.
Seeing Li Lizhi's conflicted expression, Xiao Ran advised, "Before, it was because of the early death of my aunt and the lameness. Now that these are gone, this incident should not happen again, so don't think too much about it, Wu Niang."
