After recovering, Li Xiang immediately ran to Taiji Hall to find Li Chengqian.
Previously, Li Xiang’s identity as the crown prince made him very afraid of the Taiji Palace and he felt very resistant to it, but now he no longer has that feeling.
It also becomes much easier to walk.
When he arrived at the Taiji Hall, Li Xiang heard Li Chengqian coughing.
"Grandpa!"
"Yes, Dalang is here!" Li Chengqian was reviewing a thick stack of telegrams.
Li Xiang picked up the water beside him and asked, "Grandpa, why are you coughing like this?"
"It's okay, it's an old problem. Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?" Li Chengqian took the cup of water.
"Grandpa, I'm fine now. I'm doing fine... I just can't share your worries."
Seeing Li Xiang's current state, Li Chengqian knew that he was right.
Some things are not yours and you really can't force them.
"Da Lang, are you willing to let the throne be given to another uncle's lineage?"
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, and Li Chengqian said, "Just tell me what you want. I won't blame you!"
"It's a bit regretful, but I know I can't do it. I'm afraid of destroying the foundation laid by my grandfather and becoming a sinner."
Li Chengqian nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Li Chengqian picked up the reviewed telegrams beside him and said, "Send these to the telegraph room and give them to Hou Yulin. Also, convey my oral instructions and send a telegram to Luoyang, summoning your third aunt back to Beijing!"
Li Xiang took the telegram and said, "Grandpa, Third Aunt went to visit me at the Medical College two days ago. Didn't she just leave Chang'an?"
"I know, if something happens, I have to let her come back."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Li Chengqian nodded, having already made a plan in mind.
After finishing the matters at hand, Li Chengqian stood up and saw Chu Suiliang coming over, followed by Yan Liben.
"His Majesty..."
"What's the matter? Cough cough..." Li Chengqian coughed all the time.
"Your Majesty, this is the war report from Africa, a great victory in Africa." Chu Suiliang did not show any emotional fluctuations when talking about the great victory, because there were so many of them that he had long been accustomed to it.
This kind of victory is really not worth mentioning for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian had heard too much.
"Okay, I understand. You can arrange the rewards for Chu Suiliang based on his merits." Li Chengqian really didn't want to deal with this kind of thing.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"It's nothing, you can go back first!" Li Chengqian walked towards the outside of Taiji Hall.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health! Go to the medical school!" Yan Liben said hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's just an old problem. I have other things to do. Someone, prepare the car!" Li Chengqian got in the car and left Chang'an City.
Now many houses are being built outside Chang'an City, and there are many more houses near Xiaoran Manor.
Li Chengqian went straight to Xiao Ran's manor and saw Xiao Ran by the river from a distance.
The one fishing by the river is Cheng Yaojin. Qin Qiong is gone, and now the one accompanying Cheng Yaojin is Changsun Wuji.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others, Li Chengqian stopped his car directly by the river.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Xiao Ran and others stood up.
"His Majesty..."
"Uncle, uncle, young master..."
Seeing Li Chengqian's face, Zhangsun Wuji frowned, "Your Majesty, you don't look very good either! Go to the medical school!"
"No problem, let's talk later. Can you please excuse me for a moment, young master?"
"Well, okay!" Xiao Ran and Li Chengqian walked towards the manor, while Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin continued fishing.
"Before Lizhi and Xiaolangjun got married, I know that Xiaolangjun and Lizhi have always felt that they owed Sizi. Now is the perfect time to make it up to Sizi! If Sizi is willing."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"My health is getting worse and worse. I probably won't be able to hold on until the war in Africa ends."
Xiao Ran was shocked. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Now Li Chengqian was also holding on, trying to fulfill Li Shimin's long-cherished wish.
"Your Majesty, you can leave the matter to others. Treating the disease is more important!"
Li Chengqian shook his head. "Young Master, you saw the Crown Prince's condition before. I issued an edict to depose him a few days ago, and now he is alive and well."
Li Chengqian was quite helpless. "I am also wondering if it is because I got something I shouldn't have, and I was not destined to have it, so this is God's punishment."
"I went to talk to Li Chunfeng and Master Xuanzang. They said the same thing: let nature take its course. It's better to let go of things that don't belong to you as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran understood Li Chengqian's meaning. "But what does this have to do with Mingda? Shouldn't it be given to Zhinu?"
"Well, I didn't believe these things before, but now I do. Since the destiny is with Zhinu, and no one in my line can inherit the throne, then let Zhinu be given the throne!" Li Chengqian paused. "If the Tang Dynasty cannot avoid the harem, then let's choose someone we can all accept."
"Ah?" Xiao Ran had never thought about this question before.
"Sizi has done so much over the years. All the civil and military officials, as well as the common people of the Tang Dynasty, know about it. Since the establishment of the Children's Fund, countless people have benefited. I support it, and I believe that Young Master will not object. Lizhi Sixth Sister, Second Sister, Seventeenth, Eleventh, and Third, Fourth, Fifth... Thirteenth, Fourteenth, they also have no objection. Countless people who have benefited from the Children's Fund are even less likely to object. This thing can be done!"
This is what everyone wants!
Xiao Ran nodded, "Changle's sixth sister and the others are all at home, let's talk to them!"
"Well, if you put down this heavy burden sooner, I might be able to enjoy some free time. If Sizi agrees, I will first announce it to the world and appoint Zhinu as the crown prince. This will make it easier for civil and military officials and others to accept it."
Now Li Chengqian firmly believes that since he is not the emperor, his condition should not worsen so much.
The issue of the empress's successor is indeed troublesome.
In order to prevent problems in the future transfer of power, we should first decide on the "Crown Prince".
Unknowingly, Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi and other princesses became super tycoons. Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi controlled the money houses and had even greater influence.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang and others hurriedly stood up. There was no need to bow in Xiao Ran's house.
"Brother, why do you look so unhappy?" Princess Yuzhang looked worried.
"It's okay, I have something to tell you guys..." Li Chengqian didn't care about his physical condition now.
Princess Gaoyang and Princess Wencheng also came over.
Xiao Lizi and Qian Duoduo are both at the Royal Academy and are not at home at this time.
"I think Zhinu should be appointed as the Crown Prince!"
Li Chengqian's words were like a bolt from the blue to Li Lizhi and the others.
When the others didn't react, Li Chengqian continued, "Zhi Nu's prestige is insufficient to convince the people. I don't have much time to wait any longer. So once the war in Africa is over and my grandfather's long-cherished wish is fulfilled, I will abdicate the throne to Si Zi!"
"Ah? Brother, you..." Li Lizhi didn't know how to comment.
"This isn't a whim. I've considered this for a long time. A hen crowing at dawn is a disaster for the Tang Dynasty. This kind of thing might be hard to avoid. Since it can't be avoided, I'll take the initiative and let Sizi come!"
