Chapter 532 The Finale
"This damn wicked woman has such a vicious heart that she won't even let off my heirs. How can the son he teaches be any better?" Li Chengqian said through gritted teeth.

Li Chengqian did not expect Concubine Xiao to be such a person. It is common for princes to compete for the throne, but it will not be like this.

"Your Majesty! What should we do now? Please show Your Majesty!" Di Renjie said.

"Immediately remove all the eyeliner and dead men sent by Concubine Xiao to the princes and grandsons. Remember, this is done without leaving any traces, so don't let anyone find out! I don't want Mrs. Xiao to know about this yet. " Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty understands, what does His Majesty plan to do with King Xu? After all, this matter is somehow related to King Xu. Although he did not do it, it is because of him that this happened." Di Renjie asked.

Concubine Xiao Gui and his family were behind everything related to seizing the heir apparent, planning for King Xu Li Sujie.

Although Xu Wang did not directly participate in it, he must know the whole process of the matter. Even if Li Sujie was not the mastermind, he was also an accomplice.

Therefore, he could not escape being sanctioned.

"Prince Xu, Li Sujie, don't move for the time being. Just do whatever you want. After your affairs are settled and King Wei Xiang is buried, it won't be too late to settle the score with them," Li Chengqian said. .

"I obey the order!" Di Renjie bowed and stepped back.

Within a few days, people around the princes and grandchildren will disappear with various reasonable reasons.

A month later, Li Xiang was officially buried and was buried with him in Qianling.

After solving these matters, Li Chengqian began to attack the Xiao family.

First, concubine Xiao's brothers, uncles, nephews, and nephews were all exiled to other places to keep them away from Chang'an, so as to avoid any troubles.

"Everyone! Concubine Xiao is here!" Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

"Let her in!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order, turned around and left the hall, and called in Concubine Xiao Gui who was outside the hall.

"Your Majesty! Why do you treat my mother clan like this? What did they do wrong?" As soon as Concubine Xiao came in, she directly asked Li Chengqian.

"What mistakes did they make, don't you know?" Li Chengqian asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty exiled them suddenly, how would I know?" Concubine Xiao Gui said.

"How did Li Xiang die?" Li Chengqian asked.

Concubine Xiao Gui was very surprised!
She didn't expect that Li Chengqian would suddenly ask this. Could it be that the emperor already knew something?But there is no evidence, so you came to question me.

Yes, it must be so, as long as I insist on refusing to admit it, nothing will happen.

"What? You have nothing to say?" Li Chengqian said.

"Didn't Li Xiang be assassinated by the Tutor beside him? Who knows about this? Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask this? What does this have to do with the exile of my people?" Concubine Xiao pretended to be surprised.

"Di Renjie has investigated this case clearly. This matter is related to you. Tian You is the dead man trained by your Lanling Xiao Sect. You ordered him to kill Li Xiang." Li Chengqian roared angrily.

"The concubine was wronged!" Concubine Xiao Gui said.

"See for yourself what this is." Li Chengqian said, and asked Wang Quan to present the evidence in front of Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao was shocked after reading it. She never thought that these criminal evidences would fall into the hands of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is really wronged, and none of this has anything to do with the concubine," Xiao Guifei said.

"You still dare to cry for injustice, the evidence is convincing, what else do you have to say, you poisonous woman, your heart is so vicious, and you dare to murder my emperor's heir, how can I tolerate you."

"Cutting off the title of Concubine Xiao and putting her in the cold palace, King Xu Li Sujie will be demoted to Wei Guogong, and then she will be expelled from Chang'an, and will be banned from entering Beijing forever, depriving her of the right to inherit the throne." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! You can't do this! Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiao Gui suddenly panicked and hurriedly saved Li Chengqian's thigh.

She worked so hard to make her son inherit the throne. If Li Sujie lost the right to inherit the throne, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?
"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and drag Mrs. Xiao down to the cold palace." Li Chengqian scolded.

The guards immediately rushed forward, dragged Xiao Shi down, and put him in the cold palace.

On the same day, Li Chengqian issued an edict to depose King Li Sujie, deposed him as Wei Guogong, and expelled him from Chang'an.

At the same time, the youngest son Li Xulun was renamed Li Dan.

"My sons and ministers see my father!" Li Dan saluted Li Chengqian.

"Recently, your errands are doing well! I am very satisfied, you are fine!" Li Chengqian said.

"I dare not neglect the errands assigned by my father. I have done my best. I still have many shortcomings and need to learn more." Li Dan said.

"Knowing your own shortcomings is a good thing. It's better than those who are complacent. I called you this time because I have something to tell you." Li Chengqian said.

"Despite the orders of the father, the son will do his best to run errands for the father." Li Dan saluted.

"I have decided to make you the crown prince!" Li Chengqian said.

"This, how can He De, the minister here, be able to become the prince?" Li Dan asked in surprise.

"Your elder brother was either deposed or already dead. Li Wen and Li Wu are good candidates. Among the scholars, you are the smartest. If you don't come to be the prince, who else can you be?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Li Dan said, he didn't know what to say.

On the same day, the imperial edict for the establishment of the crown prince was issued, and Li Dan was officially established as the crown prince.

Six months later, Li Chengqian passed away in the Zichen Palace and was named Gaozong in the temple. Li Dan immediately succeeded the emperor, changed his reign to Wenming in the second year, and made his eldest son Li Xian the crown prince.

Two years later, Li Dan changed his reign name to Jingyun. In the sixth year of Jingyun, the crown prince Li Xian died, and his second son Li Chengyi died early. Li Dan changed his third son Li Longji to be the crown prince.

Six years later, Li Danchan was placed under Prince Li Longji and became the Supreme Emperor himself.

Li Longji succeeded the emperor and changed his reign name to Kaiyuan the following year.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Li Dan, the Supreme Emperor, died in Zichen Palace and was buried in Qiaoling.

At the beginning of Li Longji's succession to the throne, he advocated culture and education based on the Taoist thought of quietness and inaction.Appoint talented Yao Chong, Song Jing, etc., reform official positions, rectify the administration of officials, and make every effort to govern.

The strength of Datang reached its peak, forming a prosperous situation of "everyone in three years, all countries tend to Heluo".

In the 14th year of Tianbao, due to the old emperor's stupidity, under a wave of manipulation, the Hu people An Lushan rebelled, which led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.
