Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Li Chengqian's sudden outburst of power startled everyone present, and the temperature in the entire square dropped significantly in an instant.

Even the group of military officers who were casually chatting nearby stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Chengqian with disbelief.

Cheng Yaojin, somewhat incredulous, whispered to Yuchi Gong beside him:

"Hey! Big Blackie! Did you see the aura emanating from His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said:

"I saw it! I saw it! I'm not blind!"

"Good heavens! Is this really the Crown Prince I know? I feel like his murderous aura is even stronger than ours as military officers, like he crawled out of a pile of corpses!"

The surrounding generals couldn't help but nod in agreement at Cheng Yaojin's complaints.

They had all fought their way up from the battlefield, so they naturally knew what the imposing aura Li Chengqian exuded meant!

But His Highness the Crown Prince has never even been on the battlefield, so how can he have such an imposing aura?

It can't be something you're born with, that would be too scary!

Meanwhile, in the ranks of military officers, Hou Junji couldn't help but show a hint of respect as he looked at Li Chengqian not far away!

On the other side, the official who spoke up for Li Tai had never seen such an imposing presence before.

Before Li Chengqian could say anything, an unknown liquid started flowing from the guy's trouser legs, and he was shaking like a leaf!

Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian's imposing aura faltered, and then a look of disdain appeared on his face.

He immediately feigned great anger and said:

"Insolence! This is the Taiji Hall! How dare you urinate and defecate here? Don't you know this is punishable by a fine? Guards! Throw this madman out!"

As Li Chengqian spoke, he gestured to several eunuchs nearby to drag the official away!

After the matter was settled, Li Chengqian turned to Li Tai beside him and gave him a kind smile, saying:

"Hehe! Blue Sparrow! I didn't scare you, did I?"

Li Tai was startled by the look in Li Chengqian's eyes and quickly waved his hand to indicate:

"No...no! My elder brother and I are the closest of friends. That person dared to sow discord between us; he deserves to die!"

"Hehe! That's good!"

After saying that, Li Chengqian ignored him and simply stood at the front, silently waiting for the morning court session to begin!

Li Tai, standing behind him, looked at Li Chengqian's back and a dark look flashed in his eyes.

Damn it! Damn it!

What a shame!

……

Inside the Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin couldn't help but nod as he looked at Li Chengqian, who was standing at the very front.

I've been supporting Qingque all this time, and that kid must be worried sick right now, afraid that I'll depose him from his position as crown prince!

Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin thought to himself with a sense of pride!

"Ahem! Qingque! I heard you've been editing books lately?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Li Tai's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting:

"Your Majesty, my Hongwen Academy has recently recruited many talents in geography. Coincidentally, I also have considerable insights in this field, so I was thinking of gathering these people to compile a 'Comprehensive Gazetteer'!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed.

"Hahaha! Good! My son has ambition, but the matter of compiling the letter requires a lot of travel and is truly arduous. You are large and have difficulty moving around, so I will grant you a sedan chair to go directly to the palace, saving you the trouble of traveling!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor!" Li Tai was overjoyed upon hearing this!

The sedan chair went straight into the palace; even Crown Prince Li Chengqian did not have such privileges.

Only the Emperor and the Retired Emperor were allowed to ride in sedan chairs in the palace!

The civil and military officials couldn't help but show surprise when they heard Li Shimin's words.

What does Your Majesty mean by this? Could it be that you favor the Prince of Wei and want him to be the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he looked at Li Tai, whose face was beaming with joy.

His own father is up to something! With an imperial decree like this coming down, that brat Li Tai is probably going to get cocky!

Sure enough, when Li Tai returned to stand beside Li Chengqian, his previous timidity had vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was contempt and provocation; their eyes seemed to say something.

See? With Father's favor, your position as Crown Prince will be mine sooner or later!

Seeing his expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly.

Is this kid an idiot?

What's the point of him fighting with me? In the end, it's all just a matter of Old Li's word.

After acquiring the system, Li Chengqian's vision had long since transcended worldly conventions.

A struggle for the throne?

What's the point of playing with little kids?

As long as he is strong enough, even his own father would have to think twice before deposing the crown prince!

Moreover, judging from the original course of history, Li Shimin did not initially intend to depose Li Chengqian.

It was only when Li Chengqian suffered a mental breakdown and rebelled that Li Shimin had no choice but to depose the crown prince.

Even so, he only demoted Li Chengqian to a commoner.

It is evident that although Li Shimin doted on Li Tai, a large part of the reason was that Li Shimin genuinely liked this youngest son, and also used Li Tai to temper Li Chengqian.

Old Li just didn't expect that he would wear Li Chengqian down so hard that he would ruin him!

Thinking about this, he immediately understood why Old Li had been so indulgent towards Li Tai lately, and even encouraged Li Tai to go against him!

This unfilial father! He is utterly disrespectful! His father, Li Chengqian, is not filial to his supposedly dutiful son at all!

Alas! The world is cold and indifferent; people's hearts have grown cold.

……

Inside the Liangyi Hall!

Li Shimin made a point of keeping Li Tai behind after the morning court session!

Looking at the chubby little boy in front of him, Li Shimin liked him from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, he couldn't bear to use this chubby boy as a whetstone for that rebellious son, but that rebellious son had been getting more and more outrageous lately, and he really needed to put some pressure on him!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Qingque! You've been behaving well lately. You're just like me! The Crown Prince is hopeless; you should strive to improve!"

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, the eunuch serving Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

My goodness! Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?

The King of Wei resembles you? The Tang Dynasty couldn't even find a horse strong enough to move the King of Wei, so how could you resemble him?

He immediately pursed his lips, lowered his head to look at his toes, and went through all the sad things in his life in his mind, afraid that he would burst out laughing!

When Li Tai heard his father's words and saw his father's sincere expression, he was so moved that tears almost streamed down his face.

What does Father mean by that?

Has the idea of ​​making him the crown prince already been formed?

As expected, in Father's mind, the most suitable person to be the Crown Prince was him; Li Chengqian was merely occupying the title of the eldest legitimate son!
