Naturally, there was instability in the city of Chang'an. Li Chengqian's fall from power gave Li Er a great stimulus. On the contrary, it strengthened his belief in secretly establishing a heir apparent and establishing virtuous people rather than direct heirs.

If Li Chengqian can't even bear this kind of thing, how will he succeed to the great Tang Dynasty?

In anger, Li Er slapped Li Chengqian's teachers on the face with his first slap.

These rotten scholars were forced to retire and return home.

What followed was the news that the secret reserve was being built.

As soon as this news came out, there was no doubt that it caused an uproar in the court.

For civil servants, it is correct, traditional and the best choice for them to establish a long line of succession.

Because civil servants seek stability. Only when they are stable can they serve as officials well and earn benefits.

But for the emperor, it is naturally best to establish virtuous people.

Since Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, how could any of the previous dynasties that established direct descendants end well?

After the death of Liu Ying, there was turmoil to annihilate the Lu. In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong established Yang Yong, which led to the death of Yang Guang II. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Er himself took Li Jiancheng's position. Historically, Li Chengqian even rebelled.

Going forward, Zhao Guangyi took away his brother's position, Huizong and his son were kidnapped and Wan Yangou was taken advantage of, Zhu Biao's death directly led to the Battle of Jingnan, etc.

A capable prince has no chance, but an incompetent eldest son can rise to power by virtue of his bloodline and then destroy everything.

For civil servants, it doesn't matter even if the dynasty changes, because whoever becomes the emperor needs them to govern the country, of course for stability.

And if the emperor wants to continue for eternity, it is most important to choose a good heir.

At this point, Mite Clean is the only one that does it well.

The reason is very simple. All the civil servants with integrity who dared to oppose were killed, and the rest were slaves who could only kowtow.

Here in the Tang Dynasty, if it were any other emperor, even Li Longji would not be able to withstand the opposition.

In the Tang Dynasty for more than two hundred years, only Li Er had such courage!
