"The eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin's words shocked the person who didn't understand. Niu Jinda pointed directly to the side and said loudly: "Isn't he a brother Zhan?"

Looking at Niu Jinda, Li Zhan smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, I am Brother Zhan. I used to be, now, and from now on."

"But...why did Your Majesty say you are the eldest son of the emperor and still carry the crown prince's crown?" Niu Jinda asked in surprise.

At this time, Li Shimin stood up and smiled and said, "Because he is your brother Zhan and my eldest son, and the crown prince's crown voluntary. Because Li Zhan, the eldest son, is unwilling to compete with his younger brother.

He voluntarily gave up the position of crown prince, and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, my son has not yet disclosed his identity for the time being. He is a person who has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

However, today I want you to let your dear friends know who my eldest son is first, and I hope you can take care of you in the future!”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone understood what happened. This was a small disclosure by Li Shimin to Li Zhan. In this case, when Li Zhan made public his identity next time, the ministers would not have any resistance.

After looking at it, it was getting late, and Li Shimin personally pulled Li Zhan's hand, and the father and son entered the Taimiao to worship their ancestors.

You should know that the ancestors of the Li family and the Li family worshipped, and Li Zhan's ministers could only wait outside the temple. As soon as Li Shimin and Li Zhan entered, the confidants outside immediately began to chatter.

"Cheng Yaojing...did you know it long ago?" It was Yuchi Gong who spoke.

"What...! Why did I know a long time ago?" Cheng Yaojin was speechless.

Following Yuchi Gong, he immediately said: "Lao Niu and I were shocked just now, but you didn't feel surprised at all. Do you think you knew it long ago?"

"Uh..." Cheng Yaojin was stunned. At this time, he remembered that he was not surprised just now, because he had guessed it a long time ago. Cheng Yaojin looked cynical, but his mind was very meticulous. Otherwise, he would not have been a veteran of several dynasties.

However, Cheng Yaojin did not expect that he was careless just now and was caught by Yuchi Gong.

Just when Cheng Yaojin was stunned, Yuchi Gong, Niu Jinda and others immediately stepped forward and cursed, saying that Cheng Yaojin was not brother enough.

When the generals were arguing on this side, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji got together:

"That's the Crown Prince Mian. I really can't understand what Your Majesty means." Wei Zheng took the lead and said: "You must know that the Crown Prince can only be one. However, this eldest son of the emperor brought the Crown Prince Mian Prince, and I can't say that he violated the rules, after all, the Crown Prince is the eldest son."

Wei Zheng's helplessness made Changsun Wuji smile and said, "What's the matter? The prince has the ability to stay here. If he doesn't want to do it now, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to do it in the future."

"Nee...Shangshu Changsun, you can't say anything nonsense. The Tang Dynasty is not stable..." Ma Zhou immediately said.

"Haha...I know...so I'll talk about it in the future." Changsun Wuji couldn't say it clearly.

Fang Xuanling, who was on the other side, suddenly said: "The eldest son of the emperor wore the crown prince's crown plaque. Among them, the crown prince recognized it and Your Majesty approved it. This is enough. Nothing else is needed, but...!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "I want to know, does Changsun know His Highness's identity?"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, and Fang Xuanling also nodded. Just the two nodded, but few people could understand it.

Li Jing, Li Daozong and Hou Junji stood together not far away. Li Daozong took the lead and said, "Our eldest son, Jian is in the heart of the emperor... He used the crown prince's crown to worship his ancestors...!"

"This is not just Jian Zai's heart..." Li Jing touched his beard and smiled: "But this is also the most inescapable lock for our eldest son, His Highness."

"General Li, what do you mean?" Hou Junji asked afterwards.

Li Jing laughed and said, "This means you will be fine, and I will not be fine..."

"Clam..." Hou Junji was completely unsure of what Li Jing meant, but some people on one side understood it, among which Li Daozong was very clear that the lock that Li Jing could not avoid was the family affection between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

Li Zhan was treated like this by Li Chengqian at this time, and it was difficult for Li Zhan to have a reason to steal the position of Prince Li Chengqian, so Hou Junji could feel at ease because Hou Junji's daughter married Li Chengqian.

The reason why Li Jing doesn't have to worry is that Li Zhan has the ability to be no less than Li Jing. If the emperor has a subordinate who can balance Li Jing's existence in this way, then Li Jing doesn't need to hide it like this.

You know, Li Jing is the god of war in the Tang Dynasty. His achievements are so great that he almost competed with the emperor. If Li Jing hadn't known how to give in, he would have died many times long ago.

However, now Li Jing has hope. As long as Li Zhan does not become the emperor, Li Zhan can check and balance Li Jing's existence. On the contrary, Li Jing is also. As long as a triangular relationship can be reached, Li Jing will be safe.

So Li Jing was very happy.

Hou Junji is still too young compared to Li Jing.

After a while, Li Shimin brought Li Zhan back... After everyone met again, they left each one because it was about to dawn. The first day of the New Year came, and the whole of Chang'an was about to become lively.

In the Taimiao, Li Shimin said a lot to his ancestors, but even started crying. Li Zhan was gently supporting his father. Li Zhan could see Li Shimin's affirmation of him and also knew Li Shimin's trust in him.

At this time, Li Zhan also swore slightly that he would protect the Tang Dynasty and the Li family. Although Li Zhan didn't know what he could do, he would never let history repeat the same mistakes.

"Let's go first..." After Li Zhan said goodbye to his younger brother Li Chengqian, he got on the carriage.

The carriage slowly, and a smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhan's mouth.

"Dad...when will we close the net?" Li Kong looked at Li He on the side.

At this time, Li He had already wiped out his decadence before. He leaned against the chair in the room, drinking tea leisurely, and asked, "Have you contacted all the people you should contact?"

"Don't worry... Dad, when I was worshiping the ancestors, I had already contacted everything. Everyone said and listened to us." Li Kong smiled.

"What about the chart? I asked you to be Li Cheng's filial son. Have you obtained the chart?"

"Dad... does that sea chart leading to Xianshan really exist?" Li Kong complained.

"Why...Li Cheng said no?" Li He stood up and asked.

"Yes... Li Cheng said that he did go out of the sea back then, but gold was not obtained when he went out to sea. Gold was obtained by him when he found a gold mine."

"Lie...!" As soon as Li Kong finished speaking, Li He cursed and said with certainty: "My father will not lie to me. Li Cheng has been to Xianshan!"

"Then... I've done this, why did he lie to me, and he's already said that he'll leave everything to me, and he's going to leave soon."

After Li Kong finished speaking, Li He said excitedly: "Did you say he is leaving?"

Li Kong nodded and said, "Yes... he said he would leave soon, but when I asked him why he left, he said nothing."

"Haha...haha..." Li He suddenly laughed loudly: "I know, I know, I finally know, Li Cheng wants to leave and want to return to Xianshan."
