As Li Er's favorite son, Li Tai certainly had ambitions for the throne.
Especially, in recent years, Li Er's doting on him has almost reached the point of jaw-dropping.
Li Tai was the only one among many princes who was not allowed to serve as an official by Li Er after he reached adulthood.
In the past two years, Li Er used the reason that Li Tai was highly educated and talented in literature.
Li Tai was specially ordered to set up a literary museum in his palace of the Prince of Wei, so that he could independently recruit talented people.
It was precisely because of this decree that Ji Tai had unworthy thoughts in his heart.
The so-called establishment of a literature museum is actually a cover.
This was Li Erming's promise, allowing him to recruit staff.
After other princes arrived at the fiefdom, they were accompanied only by some officials from the royal palace specified by the court.
Even if they can pay a lot of money to hire some staff, they have no official positions and no positions. The quality of the people they can recruit is worrying.
But when you work as an aide in Li Tai's house, you are a serious bachelor of literature, so the treatment is different.
Because of this purpose, Li Tai quickly recruited a large number of talented people for his own use.
Later, Li Tai continued his efforts12 and asked Li Er to compile "Kuo Di Zhi" on the grounds that the current territory of the Tang Dynasty was changing day by day.
Li Er happily agreed, and even asked for money to give money and people to give to others.
Li Er's favor for Li Tai can only be greater, not the greatest.
Later, when it developed, even the ministers of the third rank and above had to dismount their horses and bow to Li Tai when they met him.
After learning about Li Er's special request, Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, expressed his confusion.
For thousands of years, which dynasty's prince can have such a big face?
Besides, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, how many of the people who are now qualified to stand in the court are not the founding heroes who followed Li Er through life and death?
Let us uncles dismount and pay your respects after meeting you...
Wang Gui just wanted to ask Li Tai, does Chen have the key?
However, Li Er followed Wang Gui like a demon and scolded him angrily.
You even said on the spot, if something unexpected happens to Li Chengqian in the future, how can you be sure that Li Tai is not your emperor?
After these words came out, Li Tai was completely tempted.
He felt that his own father was hinting to him that he could have a bigger ideal.
Even once, Li Er drank too much and talked sweetly.
He said that if there is no prince, he can make his younger brother the crown prince.
Li Erkou was very happy, but others didn't see it that way.
Step by step, Li Er used his way of pampering his children to lure Li Tai, a smart prince with both good character and academics, into competing for the heir apparent.
Having said that, Li Tai also knew that it would be difficult and difficult for him to fight for the position of prince.
It's not like there were no princes in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian became the prince at the age of eight, which was justifiable.
All the officials in the court were also quite satisfied with Li Chengqian.
Morally speaking, all the big guys above the court are actually standing behind Li Chengqian.
Li Tai always thought that his only advantage against Li Chengqian was that he had many people under his command.
After all, the Literature Museum is not there just for free. It has recruited many talented people over the years.
As for Li Er’s warmth?
Li Tai knew that it was really meaningless.
Doesn't Li Er dote on Li Chengqian?
Regardless of the special treatment Li Er gave Li Chengqian, it seemed that he was not as much treated as Li Tai.
However, after all, Li Chengqian was the prince, and the benefits he received were more than any other prince.
What Li Er can do is naturally give Li Tai some extra benefits.
Even in Li Tai's mind, he felt that Li Er was actually a bowl of water when it came to the issue between him and Li Chengqian.
Li Er may not support his fight for the crown prince, but he may not object either.
But, it seems now.
I'm afraid my only advantage is gone.
With more people than him, Li Chengqian was able to win over aristocratic families under his command in one fell swoop.
That is the Chinese race that has been deeply rooted in the land of Zhuxia for thousands of years. It is a force that no one can ignore!
"No, we have to find a way to break the situation!" Li Tai muttered to himself.
With his intelligence, he found a way quickly without thinking too much.
Su Li!
In today's Tang Dynasty, no one knows that "Su Li is less than ten people and more than ten thousand people."
Even, in some aspects, his power is more terrifying than the emperor Li Er.
After all, the bones of several hundred members of the Lu family were still cold at this time.
Even Li Er dared not touch the family, but Su Li dared to touch it. If he did, he would kill everyone in the family!
If I can get Su Li’s support…………
The more Li Tai thought about it, the more excited he became.
He knew that his eldest brother Li Chengqian had always disliked Su Li. Now that Li Chengqian was so complacent, he would not be on good terms with Su Li.
If he could win over Su Li, the worst he could do would be to make friends with her...
Then the position of crown prince is almost secure!
Li Tai is also an activist and does what he says.
Early next morning.
Su Li's family had just finished breakfast when a servant came to announce that King Wei Li Tai had arrived.
Su Li and Chang Le are both a little strange.
Su Li doesn't like to socialize, and Changle's relationship with her brothers and sisters has gradually faded since she married.
This is also human nature.
In fact, among the princes, Su Li had a pretty good impression of Li Tai.
Everyone comes, and as relatives, there is really no reason to turn people away.
Soon, Su Li came to the main hall.
When she saw the extremely generous gift list handed over by the female officer, Su Li couldn't help but frown.
"What does King Wei mean?" Su Li asked calmly330.
Li Tai smiled and said: "It's Changle's birthday soon, and these things are to celebrate Changle's birthday.
Su Li felt vaguely that something was wrong.
In the years since they got married, the Princess's Mansion and the Prince of Wei's Mansion have always had contact with each other.
But usually when something happens, it’s nothing more than giving some ordinary gifts.
The things Li Tai sent this time were very valuable, and it was not as simple as simply celebrating Chang Le's birthday.
Sure enough, Li Tai spoke again next.
"You have been fighting endlessly these years, and you have a calm temperament and don't like to socialize. I can't disturb you. Now I am the idle prince, and you have resigned from all positions. You also know that I have been fond of dancing and writing since I was a child. Recently, I have been doing poetry. I have gained some insights along the way, and I would like to ask you for advice. Originally, given our relationship, we should be more close to each other."
Now, Su Li understood what Li Tai meant.
Li Tai's thoughts on the position of crown prince may be a secret to others.
But Su Li is very clear about this.
"I have been writing for a long time, I am afraid that I will disappoint King Wei." Li said lightly.
Feeling Su Li's indifference, Li Tai was not disappointed.
He had heard that Li Er ran to the princess's house every day in order to let Su Li go to the battlefield.
My own father almost broke his leg before he managed to achieve his goal. How could I be better than my father?
