Chapter 9
Li Tai had his counselor Wei Ting, the censor doctor, and Shi Du Chuke, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Governor of the Wei Palace, called to the Wei Palace.

In addition to Du Chuke and Wei Ting, there are also the prince's son-in-law Chai Lingwu, the son-in-law's lieutenant Fang Yiai and other confidants gathered in Wei Wang's mansion.

Li Tai is Li Er's most beloved son, and Li Er's preference for Li Tai is outrageous.

Li Er did not hesitate to violate the regulations, but also wanted to love this son. Wei Zheng and others even made a concert on this matter, begging Li Er to stop such behavior.

Li Er didn't take it seriously, he still loved Li Tai very much!He even wanted to issue an edict to let Li Tai move to Wude Palace to live.

Fortunately, under Wei Zheng's argument, Li Er gave up the idea of ​​letting Li Tai live in Wude Hall.

Later, after the completion of "Kuo Di Zhi" edited by Li Tai, Li Er was very happy. He not only collected "Kuo Di Zhi" into the Royal Library, but also continuously rewarded Li Tai with wealth.

The amount of rewards even exceeded the prince's specifications, which eventually provoked Chu Suiliang to persuade him, but Li Er still ignored it, and rewarded those who should be rewarded.

Even in order to be able to give Li Tai more, instead of reducing Li Tai's expenses, he canceled the prince's expenditure restrictions, and in this way, Li Tai's excessive expenditure was maintained in disguise.

In this way, Li Tai has more ideas about the throne. Li Er's actions are like planting the seeds of seeking a succession in Li Tai's heart, and they continue to take root in Li Tai's heart.

It also made the two brothers Li Tai and Li Chengqian embark on the road of turning against each other.

"Today Li Chengqian left Chang'an and went to Huayin County, what do you guys think Li Chengqian is going to do?" Li Tai said.

"My lord! Someone saw Zhao Jie, the governor of Yangzhou, who went to Huayin County a few days ago, and returned to Chang'an early this morning. Later, he said something to the crown prince, and the crown prince left Chang'an for Huayin." A young officer.

"Who am I talking about! It turned out to be Sun Yi's mansion under Dianyi." Chai Lingwu said disdainfully.

Chai Lingwu was the grandson of Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, and the son-in-law of Li Er. His official position ranged from the imperial servant Shaoqing, the governor of Weizhou, and the title of Duke of Xiangyang County.

Naturally, he looked down on Li Yifu, who came from a poor family, was good at making money, and had a low official position.

The Provincial Ceremony under the door is just a small official who is in charge of praise and singing and the next seat in the palace.

In layman's terms, Li Yifu's job is to be a small official who is responsible for roll call and arranging the order of ministers' seats when they go to court.

Wei Ting turned around and asked, "Does Li Dianyi know why Zhao Jie went to Huayin?"

"This, this official doesn't know!" Li Yifu wondered.

When Zhao Jie first left Chang'an, he happened to meet Li Yifu, and then connected with Li Chengqian's leaving Chang'an today, guessing that the two may be related.

How did he actually know what Li Chengqian was doing in Huayin?
"Your Majesty! No matter what Li Chengqian does in Huayin, now is a great opportunity! Your Majesty must not miss this opportunity." Wei Ting said.

"A good opportunity? What a good opportunity?" Li Tai didn't understand what Du Chuke meant.

"Li Chengqian's departure from Chang'an City is a good time for us to act. Your Majesty only needs to send assassins to Huayin to give Li Chengqian..." Wei Ting gestured to Li Tai to wipe his neck.

Wei Ting's intention could not be more obvious, that is to let Li Tai kill Li Chengqian in Huayin.

Li Tai was a little moved!If Li Chengqian can be eliminated in Huayin, then he will be the prince, and he will be the emperor of Tang Dynasty in the future.

"No!" Du Chuke and Li Tai showed joy and were shocked!Hastily opened his mouth to stop.

"Wei Ting, why not!" Wei Ting was very dissatisfied with Du Chuke's denial of his suggestion, turned to Li Tai and said, "My lord! Don't miss this opportunity! If you don't get rid of Li Chengqian now, it won't be so good if you think about it again." The opportunity is here, Your Majesty must not miss this golden opportunity."

"Your Highness! Sending an assassin to carry out the assassination is extremely dangerous. If His Majesty knows about it, His Highness will have no hope of becoming a prince."

"If Li Chengqian can't be dealt with, Li Chengqian will definitely be vigilant! It may not be easy to attack Li Chengqian next time!" Du Chuke said.

Du Chuke disapproved of Li Tai's taking this risk. After all, Li Tai's favor is now in full swing, and becoming the crown prince is just around the corner!

But because of this, the boat capsized in the gutter!Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?He put the heavy treasure on Li Tai.

If Li Tai failed to become the crown prince, he would not regret dying.

Anyway, in Li Chengqian's situation, it was only a matter of time before he was deposed, and there was no need to use such indecent means as assassination.

Therefore, he must stop Li Tai from doing any stupid things, lest everything he has done be in vain.

"Hmph! What nonsense!" Wei Ting trembled angrily. Du Chuke was good at everything, but he was not courageous enough. If he let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of Li Chengqian slip away, it would be regrettable.

"Your Highness! As long as Li Chengqian dies, Your Highness will be the crown prince, and this Great Tang will belong to Your Highness!" Wei Ting persuaded.

Today he must persuade Li Tai to kill Li Chengqian together.

Li Tai was really moved, he had coveted the crown prince for a long time, since there was a chance to eradicate Li Chengqian, Li Tai really didn't want to give up just like that.

"Okay! Just follow..."

Li Tai wanted to do what Wei Ting wanted, but as soon as he said the words, Du Chuke hurriedly bowed down in front of Li Tai.

"Doctor Du, what are you doing?"

Du Chuke raised his head and said, "Your Highness! If you miss Li Chengqian's assassination, Your Highness will really miss the crown prince. Please think again, Your Highness!"

"Du Chuke, don't be alarmist! You are lying to His Highness here." Wei Ting angrily reprimanded Du Chuke, turned to Li Tai and said, "Your Highness, please don't listen to Du Chuke's slander, if you continue, disaster will happen! Your Highness!"

After Wei Ting finished speaking, he fell to his knees!
"Your Highness! The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. Once assassinated! Your Majesty will definitely investigate to the end. If His Majesty finds out the clues, Your Highness will really miss the position of Crown Prince in this life."

"Your Highness is not the only one who can become a prince. Has Your Highness forgotten that there is King Jin?" Du Chuke said loudly.

Du Chuke's last sentence made Li Tai break out in a cold sweat. Li Chengqian fell, and the person who could become the prince was not only Li Tai, but also his younger brother Jin Wang Li Zhi.

His uncle Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang and other senior ministers were not very willing to support Li Tai, if Li Chengqian killed himself.

It's okay for him, Li Tai, to become the crown prince, but Li Chengqian was abolished. It's a legitimate thing for him, Li Tai, to become the prince, and Changsun Wuji and the others are not easy to object.

However, if it is true what Du Chuke said, Changsun Wuji and the others will definitely let his father make Li Zhi the crown prince.

Wouldn't all his hard work be in vain?

"What Doctor Du said makes sense! I'll just listen to you, Doctor Du." Li Tai stepped forward to help Du Chuke up and said with a smile.

Wei Ting was a little disappointed in Li Tai, he felt that Li Tai was not a person who could do great things.
