Li Heng still drank the medicine according to Li Qing's persuasion, but his face still looked half-dead. He was still alive and old. Of course, he knew that the deadline was approaching, but it was just a matter of living for two more years or two less.

However, before he died, there was something wrong in his heart, and this matter was naturally the ownership of the Tang Dynasty's throne.

Since Li Yu and Li Neng returned to Chang'an City, he has been observing, but except for the symbolic visits to him when they first met, Li Neng didn't even say a useful word and went straight to Xingqing Palace.

Although Li Qing said that it was for him and Li Yu to go there, Li Heng could still notice that the weight in his heart seemed to be much different, even Li Longji could not compare.

Li Heng couldn't say that he had no guilt in his heart. After all, because of Li Fuguo and Zhang Liangdi, he almost killed his most talented son.

Once Li Qing was sentenced to death, the Tang Dynasty would be over. However, this was something that happened later. Li Heng could not imagine this. After that, judging by Li Qing's series of performances, although he had been spared no effort to save the Tang Dynasty, he was always very calm with Li Heng, the father of Li Heng. Li Heng always had a feeling in his heart, that was, Li Qing must have felt that he had to die, so that he had his attitude later.

Now, the Tang Dynasty was indeed rescued by Li Qing, but Li Heng knew that neither he nor Li Yu could control Li Qing anymore. Even Li Longji suggested that Li Yu learn to learn Li Chengqi and be a emperor, which was enough to show that this matter had to be done.

However, with Li Neng's current state, it is obviously impossible for him to come over to take the position of emperor by himself. Li Heng had a feeling that even if Li Neng wanted to be the emperor, he was waiting for his current emperor to ask him to take over the position.

Otherwise, Li Yong would not have ignored Li Heng under such circumstances.

Li Heng is the emperor no matter what, at least now, he still has a trace of unwillingness to Li Yan. Looking at Li Yu who has been taking good care of him, he spent a whole day making a decision.

It was night, and Li Yu saw that Li Heng had finished drinking the medicine. The queen was waiting outside the door to wait for him to sleep. She was about to stand up and say goodbye to Li Heng, but suddenly Li Heng waved his hand at him, which obviously meant to let him come to Li Heng.

"Crown Prince, I ask you a question today, and I hope you will answer me well!"

Li Heng didn't say so seriously, so when Li Yu heard this, he quickly sat upright and nodded and said, "Father, it's okay to ask!"

Seeing Li Yu's appearance, Li Heng nodded slightly. He just liked Li Yu like this. He always felt that this was what the future Emperor of Tang should look like, not like Li Qing, as if no one was worthy of his kneeling down.

"After I die, you are the crown prince, and naturally the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Do you have any considerations about the future of the Tang Dynasty and your own?"

When Li Yu heard this, he was shocked at first, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Father is still alive. How can I think about those things? Now I am thinking about taking care of my father!"

After hearing this, Li Yu shook his head slightly and said directly: "I believe that eight out of your words are true, but have you ever thought about it? Don't you think about how to govern the Tang Dynasty after becoming emperor. If I really go, what should you do?"

Of course, Li Yu could understand what Li Heng said, but when he was outside Chang'an City, Li's words kept echoing in his ears. In fact, he had been thinking about whether he could bring the current situation to the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period again.

However, no matter how you think about it, Li Yu was not confident. Whether in terms of ability or the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, he felt that he was not as good as Li Longji. In the prosperous times of Kaiyuan, that was only what Li Longji did, so he naturally couldn't do it.

But from the expression on Li Neng's face at that time, he saw confidence. He knew that Li Neng must have the confidence to do this. In other words, he was indeed not as good as Li Neng.

"I... will definitely work hard."

Sure enough, just as Li Heng had imagined before, Li Qing did not dare to show any confidence in front of him, which was almost the same as when he was young. Without such confidence, he naturally could not do this well. This has been deeply verified in him.

"Then I ask you again, in your opinion, can King Jianning do this well?"

Although Li Heng did not directly say that he wanted Li Qing to be the emperor, from his words, Li Yu had already fully understood what Li Heng wanted to express.

In fact, what Li Heng wants to hear is very simple, that is, Li Yu said firmly that he can do better than Li Qing. If he had this confidence, Li Heng actually didn't want to listen to Li Longji and let Li Yu be the next Li Chengqi when he was always optimistic.

However, under Li Heng's gaze, Li Yu hesitated for a long time and still did not say a complete sentence. Obviously, he wanted to escape from this question. He didn't want to say what Li Yan could do, but the answer was actually in his heart.

"Your confidence has been overwhelmed by him. Just like I was back then, I could only hide in the dark and watch. If the opportunity was not in front of me, I would not dare to reach out to take it."

Li Heng sighed. He really understood what Li Yu was thinking in his heart, because when he was at Mawei Post, he could have stood up and said his thoughts openly, but he didn't. The throne was almost begged by Li Fuguo and Li Ning to take over. He knew that if he had taken the initiative back then, the result might have been very different.

"Father, King Jianning is indeed a talented person, and the Tang Dynasty is now in such a turbulent situation..."
