Chapter 341 They will have a good life
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince voluntarily gives up the throne, there will be no need for them to force him.
After they knew that the King of Qin later became the emperor, did such a good job, and that most of his ministers had a good end, unlike other emperors who killed their meritorious officials, their hearts had long been inclined to the King of Qin's side.
But a crown prince was appointed, and he had done nothing wrong. Moreover, since ancient times, the eldest son has always been appointed as the crown prince. So even if they wanted to support the King of Qin, they could not find an excuse.
Fortunately, the prince is a man who knows how to read people's expressions.
Li Yuan stood up, his body a little unsteady, and looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Boss, do you really not want to be the crown prince?"
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "What the little immortal said is not wrong. Half of the Tang Dynasty was built by my second brother. What qualifications do I have to compete with him? Besides, I think that after becoming the emperor, I can't do as well as my second brother."
He was as famous as the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, and was called the Heavenly Khan. All subsequent dynasties took him as a benchmark. Li Jiancheng felt that he could not compare with him, and he knew his own weight.
Li Shimin also looked at his elder brother and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his elder brother was sensible, otherwise he was really afraid that the Xuanwu Gate Incident would happen again.
He didn't want to kill his brothers. They were siblings and relatives who grew up together. Now it's good that the eldest brother has thought it through.
As for asking him to give up the throne, it is impossible, absolutely impossible. He fought so hard to get it, why should he give it up?
"Brother, it would have been better if you had thought of it earlier," said Princess Pingyang Zhao. Li Jiancheng looked up at her and smiled.
Yes, it would have been better if he had thought of it earlier, but it’s not too late now.
"Forget it," Li Yuan opened his mouth, sighed deeply, and then said, "Abolish Li Jiancheng's position as crown prince, and appoint Qin Wang Li Shimin as crown prince..."
After this decree was issued, people all over the world cheered collectively and shouted "Long live the emperor".
They're going to have a good life.

Empress Chang Sun felt that what the little immortal said was absolutely right. The situation at that time had already reached a life-and-death point. If Erlang did not fight back, then the result would be that her whole family would die a miserable death, so she had to fight back.
Empress Changsun was the person who knew Li Shimin best, and she felt sad for him.
Empress Changsun did not dare to agree with the immortal's words, although she agreed in her heart and thought that Erlang was just starving to get back everything that belonged to him, and there was nothing wrong with this statement.
Empress Ma sighed, "In the final analysis, the throne is too tempting. And Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, if he hadn't promised at that time, Emperor Taizong of Tang wouldn't have been thinking about the throne all the time. It's better not to make this promise lightly."
Empress Ma shook her head, feeling a little regretful. Emperor Taizong of Tang was an extremely good emperor, but it was a pity that he had such a stain.
Empress Changsun nodded. That was true. If her father-in-law had not repeatedly told Erlang that he should be the crown prince, how could Erlang have ever wanted to become the crown prince?
Unexpectedly, not only did his father-in-law fail to keep his promise, he also made his eldest brother the crown prince. How could Erlang accept this?
Erlang fought desperately, fighting outside, just for the position of crown prince, but in the end, the fruits of victory were picked by others. Just thinking about it, Empress Changsun felt sorry for her Erlang.
Li Wu also nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, this is to trick Emperor Taizong of Tang into charging into battle. They are treating people like fools.
Forget it, let’s not talk about these things. I’ll continue talking about you, Empress Changsun.”
Empress Changsun nodded and took a graceful bite of the fruit. It tasted sweet and she felt better.
"After pacifying Luoyang, many people with ulterior motives came to curry favor with Li Shimin and try to establish a relationship with him, but they were all rejected by Li Shimin.
At that time, some concubines from Li Yuan's harem also tried to curry favor with him, but were all rejected.
Li Shimin's subordinates had conflicts with his relatives in the harem many times.
It can be said that the Qin Palace at that time offended all the concubines from top to bottom.
The concubines' whispering in Li Yuan's ear was not just a sign of dislike for Li Shimin.
Besides, at that time, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng had a very good relationship with his concubines, which was in stark contrast to Li Shimin.
Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was very afraid of Li Shimin, fearing that he would snatch his position as crown prince. Since he became crown prince, he has not had a single happy day.
So she often joined forces with the concubines to speak ill of Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan and framed Li Shimin in various ways.
So, it is really not easy to be a crown prince. Except for Crown Prince Zhu Biao, no other crown prince in all dynasties could hold the position firmly.
In fact, I really don't understand. After the crown prince is appointed, other princes should not be allowed to surpass the crown prince. How can the crown prince live in peace if he is always in trouble?
The princes are more favored than the crown prince, and have more power than the crown prince, how can the crown prince not be panicked? "Li Wu couldn't help but complain.
Many emperors in front of the sky began to reflect. Since they had appointed this prince, they naturally wanted to pass the throne to the prince and were satisfied with the prince.
But the other princes are also their sons, and they feel sorry for them too.
Especially Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he learned about the ending of his eldest son, Li Chengqian.
He swore that he would never do such a thing again in the future and would not drive Cheng Qian crazy again.
No other prince could surpass him.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, "Brother, is what the immortal said true? Do you live in fear every day?" Princess Pingyang Zhao asked curiously. She had never noticed that her brother's life was not easy.
But it is certain that, after all, the second brother has so many people supporting him in the court, so the eldest brother should be panicking.
Li Jiancheng smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I haven't had a good night's sleep for a single day. I didn't feel relieved until I gave up the position of Crown Prince."
The brothers and sisters looked at each other and laughed.
When Li Yuan saw this situation, he felt relieved. The last thing he wanted to see was brothers killing each other. It was good now. It was his fault before.
Sky
When Queen Ma heard the little immortal praising her eldest son again, her smile grew even wider.
Empress Xu felt a little embarrassed.
"When you saw this situation, Empress Changsun, you knew it was not going to work. Li Shimin and Li Yuan were becoming increasingly distant, and you were so anxious.
He tried various ways to ease the conflict, often went in and out of the palace, was filial to Li Yuan, and made friends with the concubines, in order to make up for the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Yuan, and to retain support for Li Shimin in the harem.
Emperor Taizong of Tang was lucky to have a good wife like you, Empress Zhangsun, who always considered him. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what the consequences would have been.
Later, with the support of Prince's Guardian Li Gang and Shangshu You Pushe Xiao Yu, Li Yuan did not kill Li Shimin.
This also gave Li Shimin a chance to catch his breath.
Just like the countless struggles for imperial power in history, the two brothers Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng fought to the death for the throne, and eventually turned against each other and fought to the death. "
Empress Changsun sighed deeply. Even if Erlang didn't want to fight, Li Jiancheng would not let their family go. Erlang's existence was a thorn in Li Jiancheng's side.
