On the third day of the fifth day of the 18th year of Xuanjia, the left prime minister Li Mao's mansion sent spies to Daliang to investigate the movements of the army back to the capital and returned to Li Mingrui. The princess of Zhenguo and Liu Hongzheng led the army back to the country quickly, and he sent the letter back.
The matter was hotly discussed by the people along the way.
Li Mingrui clenched his fists tightly, knowing that he could not delay any further, so he asked King Liang to order Fan Yuhuai to attack the imperial city immediately and must enter the palace immediately to force the emperor to issue an order to be located in King Liang.
Unexpectedly, Fan Yuhuai had just ordered the attack on the imperial city, and the Wude Gate opened on its own...
Xie Yuchang and Fu Ruoxi came out of the Wude Gate. Xie Yuchang looked very ugly and said, "Your Majesty has an order to invite King Liang to the palace."
The food in the palace was out of stock yesterday, which was nothing. The emperor did not use enough saltpeter to refine alchemy and needed to be transported from outside the palace. The emperor ordered Xie Yu to order King Liang to enter the palace.
Lu Xiang, the Minister of War, and Xie Yuchang and the Emperor argued with each other, but it didn't work. The obsessed emperor actually asked Xie Yuchang to take down Lu Xiang and the Minister of War and others. Lu Xiang was so sleek.
The minister was so angry that he scolded the foolish monarch.
The emperor took advantage of the situation to abolish Prime Minister Lu, and asked Xie Yuchang if he only listened to the crown prince's refusal to the emperor and wanted to disobey the sacred order... and the order was not correct.
It was so big that Fu Ruoxi held down Xie Yuchang, who was about to advise him, and took the order to accompany Xie Yuchang out of the city to invite King Liang.
But from the bottom of my heart, whether it is Fu Ruoxi or Xie Yuchang at the time of Hai, they are all disappointed with this emperor and this dynasty. They are not willing to sacrifice their lives for such an emperor, so they come out according to the emperor's request.
King Liang.
Although the prince is not a wise king, at least he is not a person like the King of Liang who is good at disguising and evil, sometimes the ministers and officials can still listen to the advice of the prince.
But if King Liang ascended the throne, Jin State would not know what it would become.
King Liang was cautious. He heard that the emperor invited him into the palace for fear of fraud. He first asked Fan Yuhuai to send someone to take over several gates of the imperial city, and then took Xie Yuchang and Fu Ruoxi, and then brought heavy troops into the palace.
, let Fan Yuhuai stay outside the palace to set up defenses.
The emperor sat on the throne of the palace, looking at King Liang who was bringing heavy troops in from outside the hall, kneeling down to him, patted the armrest of the dragon chaise, and said, "You are leading troops to the palace this time, just want this dragon chaise?
”
Although the King of Liang was respectful in the face of the emperor, he had no longer had the panic and fear of the past. After kowtowing, he said, "My son asked his father to abdicate..."
"Okay! So good..." The emperor looked at King Liang with a cloudy eyes. He really didn't expect that he would have misled this son. "King Liang is really my good son, his usual timid appearance
, they were all pretending!"
King Liang remained motionless as he knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and was very humble in his humility to let the emperor vent his anger.
"It's not impossible for you to want this throne! I have the conditions..."
When King Liang heard the emperor's words, he looked happy and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Father, my son will not make things difficult for the prince!"
But the emperor shook his head and said, "What I want to say is not the prince, but my ninth level platform! The ninth level platform...it will be built no matter what! So... if you want the government, I can issue an order for you to take it now.
Zheng, but the throne... When did you build the Nine-Level Platform, help me find a thousand boys and girls, and when will I abdicate, let you become this emperor!"
The King of Liang thought that the emperor wanted to plead for the prince, but he was most concerned about the Nine-level platform he asked for immortality and asked for the truth!
He felt a little pity for the prince in his heart. It turned out that... the prince was not very special in his father's heart, and he was still the one who could give up if he gave up.
Seeing that King Liang did not answer, the emperor said again: "If you refuse, then... will kill me, the emperor, and then you ascend the throne! However... I have sent my personal secret decree out of the palace and asked the prince to order the troops stationed in various places to carry the imperial decree.
Rescue! In this way... In the future, your reputation as a traitor will never be washed away."
The King of Liang did not believe what the emperor said very much, and felt that the emperor called him what he said. The prince had been running away for more than a month. If there was indeed an imperial edict in his hand, he would have been to the capital city long ago.
Li Mingrui, who was kneeling behind King Liang, felt that the prince might have really had an imperial edict in his hands. The reinforcements have not arrived yet, so maybe the prince is still in the capital!
Li Mingrui's heart skipped a beat, raised his eyes and looked at King Liang, and suddenly became selfish. He wanted to send people from the Li family to search for the prince quietly. If he could get the secret decree from the prince's hand, King Liang ascends the throne in the future, this secret decree...
It is the most powerful handle that the Li family can restrain King Liang!
Li Mingrui calculated the time when Bai Qingyan's army was advancing in his heart, lowered his voice and spoke to King Liang: "Your Highness... As long as Your Majesty is still alive, the people in the world will feel that it is legitimate, otherwise the prince has not been captured yet, and
But the emperor of the capital died... His Highness ascended the throne, and others would think that the throne of His Highness was not justified, and he had his own thoughts... Those who were loyal to the prince, such as the princess in Zhenguo, had sufficient excuses to rebel.
Your Highness!”
King Liang pursed his lips and said nothing, but the Nine-level platform should take more than a month to complete. If the princess of Zhenguo came back in time in more than a month...
King Liang raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.
By then, his position with the emperor will change, and then he will be the only one who is controlled by the emperor.
As if he knew King Liang's concerns, Li Mingrui whispered: "Your Highness, if the Minister of Works of the Nine-Chengtai is intensified in supervision, the construction can be completed within 20 days!"
The Minister of Works, the Left Prime Minister Li Mao, knew that Li Mingrui was involved in the matter with him. If he was defeated, he would confiscate his family and exterminate his clan. If he thought that if the work could not be completed within 20 days, he would not dare to say so.
"Your Highness might as well agree to Your Majesty, seeking a legitimate reputation! Nine-level platform and one thousand boys and girls are not difficult!" Li Mingrui advised again.
When the King of Liang heard this, he looked at the emperor and kowtowed again: "Please ask the emperor to issue an order to capture the prince who intends to rebel. The son will definitely complete the matter of Jiuchuntai and a thousand boys and girls within 20 days!"
The emperor's eyes were cold: "In ten days!"
King Liang gritted his teeth and turned his head slightly toward Li Mingrui behind him.
Li Mingrui thought in his mind that if more people could be recruited to build together and arrive at the Jiushu Platform within three days, perhaps... it would be possible to complete the construction within ten days.
The difficulty lies in these thousand boys and girls. Li Mingrui heard from this master before that he wanted boys and girls aged five to ten, and his family background was also innocent, not to mention that there was a rumor before.
It is indeed difficult for the emperor to use the lives of these thousand children to refine elixirs. It is indeed difficult for him to gather these thousand children within ten days.
