Chapter 169

"I didn't mean to let Princess Changle know about the things between you and me."

As soon as Li Lizhi left, Fu Lan said to Chen Qiao.

"Chang Le told me that she saw it by herself."

Seeing Fu Lan's uneasy look, Chen Qiao couldn't bear to blame her for coming to see Li Lizhi before he came back.

"Don't you blame me?" Fu Lan asked.

Chen Qiao smiled and shook his head, "What are you to blame?" Then he said seriously: "But if there is anything in the future, you must discuss it with me in advance."

Fu Lan nodded, pondered for a moment and then said, "I... want to abdicate to the virtuous."

"Why?" Chen Qiao asked in surprise.

Even if several of them have more than ten years, Fu Lan is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and he has never reached the age to abdicate.

"Since I have decided to be your wife, I must devote myself to it. If I abdicate, I'm afraid there will always be other distractions."

Hearing what Fu Lan said, Chen Qiao shook his head.

"I know your will, but I don't want to be a cage that binds you. I know that you can be a good monarch. You shouldn't give up your subjects for me."

Fu Lan frowned when she heard the words, she was unwilling to give up her subjects, but she knew that Chen Qiao would never leave Datang for her sake.If she doesn't give up, she and Chen Qiao will be separated for a long time. She is not afraid that Chen Qiao will have another woman she likes, but she doesn't want to see Chen Qiao.

"But if I'm still the Queen of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, I can't be by your side all the time. I don't want to see you every day after we get married." Fu Lan suddenly felt a little wronged.

Chen Qiao was taken aback, but he hadn't thought of this.

"It's because I wasn't thoughtful enough."

Seeing that Fu Lan's eyes were red, Chen Qiao said with some guilt in his heart.

"If that's the case, let's do what you say."

Hearing that Chen Qiao agreed, Fu Lan finally showed a smile.

Although she was taught how to be a good monarch since she was a child, she is willing to give up her former status and power in front of the man she loves.

Chen Qiao took Fu Lan's hand and comforted her softly.

Not long after, Li Shimin heard the news of Chen Qiao's return to Beijing, so he sent the eunuch to the General's Mansion to invite Chen Qiao into the palace.

"I have seen Namakhtab Kashani," Li Shimin said, frowning, thinking that the name of the Queen of Persia is too long, "she seems to have been hit by something. It's as if I haven't heard the words, and I have been sitting on the sidelines without saying a word."

Hearing this, Chen Qiao laughed, and said: "She thought that Yi Ge treated her sincerely, so she treated Yi Ge wholeheartedly, and even made enemies with me for the sake of Yi Ge. He couldn't bear such a blow because of his true face, so he languished."

Li Shimin shook his head in disappointment. He had also heard that the Queen of Persia was a mighty emperor when she was young, but now she has become like this. He is really disappointed.

"Then what are you going to do with Yige?" Li Shimin asked Yige again, skipping the topic of the Queen of Persia.

Hearing Yige's name, Chen Qiao frowned first, and then smiled coldly, "If he hadn't been cheating secretly, Wu Ye would not have died in Persia, nor would the 20 soldiers of my Tang Dynasty who went to Mohe." It’s hard to return to my homeland, and I’m going to get back this sum of old and new grudges from him.”

Knowing that Chen Qiao always valued the lives of his soldiers more than himself, and the one who died this time was Wu Ye, Li Shimin knew that Chen Qiao would not let Yi Ge go easily.

"Such a villainous villain, you..." Li Shimin looked at Chen Qiao hesitantly, but finally swallowed the rest of his words.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not lose my sense of proportion." Chen Qiao said.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's good that you know what's in your mind."

Although he just returned to Chang'an City today, Chen Qiao still learned from the eunuch about the ups and downs in Beijing in the past two months.

No matter what, he never thought that Li Chengqian and Li Tai would pursue Li Ke so fiercely, and they would only give up if they had to put the prince from the Yang family to death.

"The two of them really disappointed me! But now Guanyin's maidservant is seriously ill, and I'm worried that if I deal with them now, it will make Guanyin's maidservant's health worse." Li Shimin said, frowning.

He had already seen enough of Li Chengqian and Li Tai's appearances in front of himself and in front of his brothers, and he knew that if one of them succeeded to the throne one day, then his remaining sons, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

"Although this is not something I should ask, I still want to know which prince His Majesty really belongs to?"

Although in history, it was Li Zhi who finally succeeded to the throne after Li Shimin's death.But right now, because of his own arrival, Datang has already derailed from the original history, so now Chen Qiao can't say for certain that the person who will inherit the throne in the future will be Li Zhi.

Li Shimin shook his head with a weary look on his face, "At first, I thought the prince was quite a malleable talent, but after looking at it all these years, he has been sunk in the competition with the blue bird all day long, and has stirred up this good court. " Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, "But when I look at these sons of mine, I don't even have one that satisfies me."

"I have met King Jin a few times in the past, and I can see that he is the most benevolent among the princes." Chen Qiao said, if possible, he still hopes that the successor to the throne can make Li Zhi.

Hearing what Chen Qiao said, Li Shimin's expression became more and more solemn, "Weishan is a good boy, but his temper is too weak. It's okay to be a successful king, but what I want is someone who can continue after me. The king who opened up the territory for the Great Tang cannot do good."

"Where is King Wu?" Chen Qiao asked again, "I once heard Doctor Wei talk about King Wu, and his words were full of appreciation."

Li Ke...

Li Shimin fell silent. He had also thought about Li Ke, but Li Ke still had Yang's blood on him.As the person who personally overthrew the rule of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin did not want to see the descendants of the Yang family become the kings of the world again.

But Li Ke is indeed the most satisfying one among the many princes.

"Your Majesty, do you mind King Wu's mother clan?"

Hearing Chen Qiao's question, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, "Although I and the first emperor killed most of the Yang family back then, it was rare for a few fish to slip through the net. Disturbances arise."

Li Shimin's worry is not unreasonable.

After pondering for a while, Chen Qiao suddenly said: "If your majesty is at ease, I will order the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army Zhongjifeng Battalion to search for the descendants of the Yang family from now on. Once they are found, they will be killed immediately regardless of whether they have any objections."

It has to be said that Chen Qiao's proposal moved Li Shimin very much, "If Ke'er finds out about this in the future, I'm afraid there will be a gap between me and me..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, King Wu is not an unreasonable person." Chen Qiao smiled, "Since Your Majesty thinks that King Wu has the talent of an emperor, you should believe that King Wu will not have any quarrel with His Majesty because of some outsiders."

"Previously, Xuan Cheng once entered the palace and advised me that Ke'er is more suitable to be a virtuous king who assists the king."

Wei Zheng?

Hearing that Wei Zheng would say such a thing to Li Shimin, Chen Qiao felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable.

"Doctor Wei has always been very accurate in judging people. I think he must have his own basis for saying such things."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, "Xuan Cheng once said that Ke'er has a great talent, but he has been trapped in his own background and dare not show it to others. It's fine if he assists the king, but if he becomes the king himself, I'm afraid it will make him walk on eggshells even more." , even if you have the talent of an emperor, it will be difficult to display it."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Chen Qiao was stunned.That's right, a person who has always been cautious and afraid that he will fall into the abyss if he makes a wrong step, if he is suddenly placed in a high position, no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to make great achievements in his life.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiao couldn't help sighing, it seems that it is really difficult to choose a suitable person to inherit the throne.
