The speed that Li Yuan’s edict was issued naturally filled all with amazement Virtually all assuo However, they did not know that the decision to issue this edict was actuallyand company had departed, Li Yuan was filled with anxiety and worry Since long ago, whenever he ran into a Gordian problem that he could not resolve, he would discuss these matters with his top ministers However, today’s problem was completely different Wei Guan was always neutral and would inevitably not sayShu were all et involved in politics Zheng Xia, alas … Zheng Xia’s character was upright and outspoken, handling everything impartially, but at present, he was seriously injured and could not offer his advice As Li Yuan’s mind turned, he realized the only one he could discuss this matter as noble Consort Ji However, Li Yuan was unwilling to speak with her If Li Yuan had his heart set on ensuring the succession of his crown prince, then noble Consort Ji’s advice would naturally be of use However, now that Li Yuan was utterly disappointed with the crown prince, the attitude of the Fengyi Sect was very clear Reportedly, the Fengyi Sect h Fan Huiyao had not come to see him, Li Yuan knew from her conduct that she still supported the crown prince With this, noble Consort Ji’s attitude was already set At this moment, Li Yuan sincerely hoped for someone without selfish and ulterior ht, the more vexed he became Within his harem, practically everyone was involved in politics The sole exception was noble Consort Zhangsun, unselfish and undeo to her cha up at the sky to determine the time of day, Li Yuan did not dispatch someone ahead and walked in the direction of noble Consort Zhangsun’s Eternal Spring Palace Hall

Entering the palace hall, the supervising eunuch pro Li Yuan that the noble consort and the princess were strolling in the palace hall’s garden Li Yuan walked towards the garden Before he had even entered, he heard a peal of lively laughter He could not help but feel his gloosun sitting within a pavilion, while Princess Changle, dressed in the garb of northern barbarians, played h Roulan was still young, she was extre after the ball Helped by everyone yielding to her, she played quite well Seeing her innocence, unaffected by the worries of the world, the vexations in his ness

At this moment, the eunuch declared in a loud voice, “His I this, everyone proh, Li Yuan stated, “We are only here to take a look, there is no need for everyone to stand on cere, he stepped forward and picked up the rosy-faced Roulan, asking her, “Little Roulan has played quite well How are you free to enter the palace today? Every single tile personally invites you”

With glea eyes and in an innocent voice, Roulan replied, “Imperial Grandfather, Roulan wishes to frequently cohness, the Princess, and Imperial Grandfather However, some people have said that if Roulan cohness, the Princess, there will be people who get angry with the Princess, thus Roulan does not dare to cory He naturally understood thebehind Roulan’s words There were those orried that Princess Changle would get too close to the Prince of Yong’s household The change in his cohtened, pro, “Ihtless, please don’t take offense”

Heaving a sigh, Li Yuan waved his hand, dis this, Princess Changle had Lü’e also take Roulan away Understanding that they needed to discuss a privateChuan and company also withdrew into the distance Li Yuan unenthusiastically stated, “Changle, you’ve truly suffered greatly It’s fine if your older brothers haven’tof themselves, but their conduct has even ile promptly smiled and replied, “I things In reality, there is no one ould take out their anger upon this child over this reed noble Consort Zhangsun “Zhen’er is your s difficult for her?”

Li Yuan sighed again “Alas, We are extremely disappointed with the Crown Prince But how can he be deposed so lightly? At present, the entire court is either seeking to preserve the Crown Prince’s position to take credit in front of hi as heir apparent We are in an extremely difficult situation”

A look of worry flashed across noble Consort Zhangsun’s eyes Although she did not involve herself in the affairs of state, she knew full as presently going on Speaking fro to do with her Although she had a so because of Lady Gao, the Princess of Yong, it was not enough for noble Consort Zhangsun to support him Now that the emperor had openly spoken of this , it was likely that her words would be known tomorrow From this point forward, there was no way that she could continue to live in peace Consequently, she could only speak obliquely, “There is no need for Your Imperial Majesty to worry It is only natural that these subjects all have different thoughts The decision regarding the heir apparent can only be ue and shallohen Li Yuan heard them, he felt comfortable He could not help but declare, “Be that as it h the Crown Prince is no good, he has been the heir apparent for ood, his areat We understand the difficulties of founding an ehted and look for a fast return,¹ ultisun wished to say soratified that Li Yuan trusted her sothe members of the harem would cause no end of trouble Li Yuan understood the difficulties that she faced Frosun would be able to give hiestions and only wished to voice his co his difficulties to reduce the weight upon his heart As he spoke, he noticed that Princess Changle was thinking pensively Curious, Li Yuan asked, “Changle, do you have an opinion?”

Hesitating for a h this child does not understand anything about the affairs of state, regardless of what I to do at present is to pacify the situation Regardless of what Ied in the future For the situation to remain suspended like this, not only will the Crown Prince be worried and second brother vexed, even the entire court will be anxious and apprehensive, worried that they misinterpret the trend”

Li Yuan’s heart leapt Changle’s words were quite reasonable As long as he continued to mull over how to handle this issue, the more the crown prince would be worried about his position as heir apparent, resent would inevitably have expectations If the end result did not conform to his intentions, he would also not be happy If he could temporarily placate thee of this, Li Yuan rose to his feet happily and proclaio issue an edict You can do as you wish” So speaking, Li Yuan i the edict Not tolerating the remonstrations of any of his subjects, he swiftly and decisively proated the edict

The issue of this edict caused everyone to be delighted and satisfied The crown prince was naturally overjoyed When he koed to accept the edict, Li An, moved to tears, vowed to the Heavens that he would turn over a new leaf² The Prince of Qi was also overjoyed These past two years, he had basically been confined to the capital Aside fros or falcons He had long itched to return to the borders to fight a few battles With this opportunity, he was naturally very happy Practically just after the edict was issued, the Prince of Qi did not even bother to say anything to the crown prince and immediately left the capital Naturally, this left the crown prince furious

Apart from this, it would be reasonable to state that the Prince of Yong, who originally had the opportunity to take the crown prince’s place as heir apparent, had his hopes dashed and would inevitably be distressed In reality, however, over the past few days, the Prince of YongHe was the first to congratulate the crown prince Of course, what he was congratulating was the crown prince’s recovery fro personally saw off the Prince of Qi and then paid a visit to Palace Attendant Zheng to check on his recovery Contrary to what one h he had a veneer of calm, there was not a hint of joy on his face As a result, everyone concluded that he was resentful and annoyed However, these sanani and the broadness of his mind What they did not knoas that without the veneer, joy would likely have covered the entirety of the Prince of Yong’s face

After he had received Li Yuan’s iloo partial to the crown prince He had not idea that as soon as he walked into the Cold Courtyard, Jiang Zhe would actually congratulate him Li Zhi worriedly inquired, “Suiyun, I?”

With a shness, you are sos clearly At present, the Emperor is extremely disappointed with the Crown Prince If the Emperor had secretly reprimanded the Crown Prince, then the Emperor still holds out some hope for the Crown Prince However, from what this subject has learned, the Eoes, ‘the deeper the love, the more intense the criticis, the Ehtest because the Ele hness is only one step away from the position of heir apparent”

In distress, Li Zhi worried, “Even if I am one step away, I ayi Sect Master has arrived at the capital, greatly increasing the Crown Prince’s strength It is possible that they will try to assassinate us Additionally, under her supervision, the Crown Prince will speak and act cautiously For Imperial Father to not depose the Crown Prince round for the Crown Prince If this s out, it is likely to be unfavorable for me Besides, there needs to be a reason to depose the Crown Prince If the Crown Prince does not err going forward, even if Imperial Father wishes to depose him, it will still be impossible”

With a smile, I explained, “At present, it is likely that the Crown Prince does not think this way Although the Emperor let off the Crown Prince this ti affairs of state in the Eastern Palace The alienation between the clear It is likely that the Crown Prince is presently full of anxiety and suspicion, worried that the Eainst him In order to protect himself, the Crown Prince will likely only fall deeper and deeper into the abyss At present, Your Ihness need only spread rumors that the reason why the Emperor did not depose the Crown Prince is because of the strength of the Crown Prince’s backers Afterwards, we can seize upon the offenses of the Crown Prince’s faction to launch an offensive We will not attack the Crown Prince directly, only bla the Ehness’s prestige, it will be a piece of cake For us to take these actions, on the surface, it will not harm the Crown Prince’s safety As a result, the Crown Prince will not believe that our actions are deliberate, believing instead that we have received a secret edict frohness needs to find the opportunity to hold a few private discussions with the E sure that no one finds out the truth In this way, the Crown Prince will becoly suspicious that the Ehness as the heir apparent, thus having arranged for Your Ihness to eliy will serve the purpose of inadvertently alerting the ene as the Crown Prince is bewildered, he will rush indiscri ht conditions, success will occur without any effort,⁴ and the Crown Prince will be deposed”

Hearing Jiang Zhe’s words, Li Zhi accepted them wholeheartedly He replied, “It could be said that Suiyun thoroughly understands the ht Who would expect that our intentions for elireat fanfare the Crown Prince’s supporters is not to attack the Crown Prince’s faction?”

Rising to hness, at present, the situation has reached the hness should recall Sir Ziyou back to Chang’an to preside over the present situation Although this subject is resourceful, there are many matters that only shi+ daren can handle properly shi+ daren</ereat pity if he does not return”
