"promise!"
Changsun Wuji bowed and accepted the order, then returned to his original position.
Although he couldn't stop His Majesty from bestowing the Prince of Qin's mansion upon Li Jue today, he at least secured the opportunity for the Crown Prince to choose a consort!
As long as the Crown Prince gives birth to a son, his position as heir apparent will be secure!
Li Shimin bestowed generous rewards upon Li Jue, hosted a banquet for civil and military officials, and proudly boasted to them about his grandson's achievements!
"You all know that I love my eldest grandson, but you don't know the achievements my eldest grandson has made for the Tang Dynasty, do you?"
"My eldest grandson ventured deep into the Turkic territory and, without expending a single soldier of the Tang Dynasty, brought back 50,000 herdsmen and countless cattle and sheep..."
"Such glorious achievements, I ask you, who in the Great Tang Dynasty could accomplish them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then praised His Majesty's wisdom and Prince Yong's brilliance.
Li Jing smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself that others might not be able to do it, but this old man might be able to!
After drinking a few more cups of wine, Li Shimin stepped down from his throne, came to Li Zhi, grabbed Li Zhi's arm with one hand, and held his grandson's hand with the other.
"You two, uncle and nephew, should get closer together in the future!"
"Hello, Uncle Jiu!"
"Hello, nephew..."
Li Jue had actually been secretly observing Li Zhi for a long time. He noticed that Li Zhi had very thin lips and a very thin build, which were typical signs of being mean-spirited and ungrateful, as well as having a short lifespan.
While Li Jue was sizing up Li Zhi, Li Zhi was also sizing up Li Jue.
If his father hadn't personally acknowledged Li Jue's identity, he would never have imagined that the boy in front of him, who was only a head shorter than him, was actually a boy who had just turned ten!
What does he eat on a regular basis? How did he grow so tall?
"Nephew, you must have suffered a lot these years, right?"
"It's alright, I just almost died a few times..."
Li Jue spoke casually, but to others, it evoked an indescribable bitterness.
Few people knew that Li Jue fell ill during his exile, but everyone in the court knew that he died in a fire.
Upon hearing this, Chu Suiliang finally found a breakthrough and immediately stepped forward to question him.
"May I ask, Your Highness, I heard that you died in the fire, how did you suddenly come back to life?"
"Did the officials in Qianzhou lie, or did you fake your death?"
As soon as Chu Suiliang said this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Yes!
Didn't that grandson die before? He died in the fire at his residence in Qianzhou.
The imperial court even issued an obituary, and His Majesty posthumously conferred upon him the title of Prince Yong. How did he suddenly come back to life?
If this issue cannot be explained clearly, then at the very least, he is guilty of deceiving the emperor!
