My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

Just as Li Chengan was lost in thought, Su Wan walked in from outside.

Su Wan looked at him with her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything."

"I have some news to tell you."

"Oh, what news?"

"Do you know that Li Tai went to visit Xu Hui in the south of the city?"

"Is that so?" Li Chengan was also taken aback when he heard this.

This kind of thing is considered quite sensitive right now.

"Is your information reliable?" Li Chenggan asked, half believing and half doubting.

"Of course it's reliable."

"What did he go to see Xu Hui for?"

"I heard that he wants to move into the Wude Hall, but I'm afraid your father won't agree. So, he wants Xu Hui to speak well of him to your parents."

"Move into the Wude Hall?" Li Chenggan stood up, crossed his arms, and paced back and forth in the hall. "If I remember correctly, didn't he want to move into the Wude Hall before?"

Later, due to opposition from Chu Suiliang and Wei Zheng, the matter was shelved. Unexpectedly, he's brought it up again now; it seems he hasn't given up.

"Your Highness, haven't you realized it yet?"

His reason for moving into the Wude Hall was that the Literature Hall was compiling the "Kuodi Zhi" (Records of the Land), and the increased number of staff made it too crowded.

Therefore, they need to move into the Wude Hall.

However, the significance of the Wude Hall is extraordinary.

Back then, didn't Prince Qi, Li Yuanji, live in the Wude Hall?

Because the Wude Hall is too close to the East Palace, he would covet the position of Crown Prince.

Li Chengan understood a simple truth: people are often like this, saying only what is appropriate for the situation.

Li Chengan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Li Tai may not think of going to Xu Hui; others will probably give him ideas."

Su Wan's eyes were filled with resentment: "Besides Fang Xuanling, who else could it be?"

I've seen it; Fang Xuanling is determined to make things difficult for you.

He won't be satisfied until he brings you down.

The father and son are now firmly on Li Tai's side.

Li Chengan sighed: "I have always respected Fang Xuanling very much. Fang's strategic thinking and Du's decisive action have become a well-known story."

He made many contributions when our Tang Dynasty pacified the world, especially in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, where he helped his father, the emperor, seize the position of crown prince.

If it weren't for him, my father might have died long ago.

Therefore, he was a meritorious official in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the emperor also valued him highly and appointed him as the chief minister.

No one in the court could compare to him in status.

Su Wan rested her chin on her hand: "Fang Xuanling is indeed different from others. He considers problems from a different perspective. He has actually started to target the harem."

Li Chenggan smiled slightly: "Fang Xuanling is well-versed in history, so of course he knows that the influence of women in the harem on the court is enormous, and they can even depose and install the crown prince."

Throughout history, women were forbidden from interfering in politics; however, the involvement of women in the imperial harem in politics never ceased.

"Do you foresee any turmoil in this harem?"

Li Chengan walked to the table, picked up the teacup, and gently blew on the tea leaves floating on it: "Logically speaking, Xu Hui is a very wise woman."

Her move to the south of the city sends a very special signal: the inner palace is unlikely to be too peaceful.

"Your Highness, your mother is Empress Zhangsun, what are you afraid of?"

Your mother is deeply favored by His Majesty, and her position is very secure!
