Taiping reached out to take it, but Shangguan Wan'er retracted her hand and said, "I can't give you such a decree."
Why?
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Either I take it, or I shout out now and call all the guards?"
Taiping retracted his hand again and smiled. Then he understood that Shangguan Wan'er had been with His Majesty for a long time and was thoughtful and long-term in matters.
certainly!
Shangguan Wan'er said to herself, of course I have to guard against you using this decree to cause trouble. After all, you have such a criminal record! If her guess is correct, Taiping will not think of asking Li Dan to ascend the throne. If not, she will not be here
This stopped her. Then, who was she thinking about ascending the throne? There was no one else except Princess Zhenguo. But if Princess Zhenguo ascended the throne, what about the future? Who would the throne be passed to in the future?
Is it the child of Princess Zhenguo? Or the child of the Li family?
If this decree is in Taiping's hands, there will be disputes in the future. It's not that Taiping doesn't love power, she is actually considering it all the time! Then I have to be on guard against the troubles that may arise from this decree ten or twenty years from now.
.If I really gave it to her, and when the new king comes to the throne, and I report the matter, what will the new king do? He must take back this will. But when the new king asks for this will from Taiping, he will definitely be able to get it.
Come out? She said it was burned, and it was too chaotic and lost. What should I do? This has laid the foundation for a lot of trouble. Based on this alone, the handling is inappropriate. How dare the new king use himself? It means that this coup has merit,
But credit and reuse are two different things.
Therefore, you can only take this decree yourself and hand it over to the new king. As for how the new king handles it and considers it, that is the new king's business.
As the two stretched out their hands and retracted their hands, they were exchanging huge things.
Taiping smiled and said, "Then...who will accompany you out of the palace? If you hold it, how can I know what you will do after you leave the palace?"
"You don't believe me?"
It's now, who can believe whom? Taiping chuckled, "Your mother is near Luoyang now. I took her out from Yeting to give you a surprise so that you and your daughter can be reunited. Shangguan
Internal Minister, when things get better, it will be time for you mother and daughter to reunite. If you fail and fall short of your achievements, and I am killed or convicted because of this... then I am afraid that you mother and daughter will never see each other again in this life.
.”
Shangguan Wan'er raised her lips and smiled, "Wan'er... remembers the princess's methods."
Therefore, no one was disturbed in the palace, and Shangguan Wan'er left the palace according to the order.
She was in a hurry, but she was not in a hurry to get in. The road here was blocked, so she didn't force her way through, so she went around and went to another road. If she was blocked by the crowd again, she went around again.
Go round and round, if she doesn't show her identity as the emperor's personal envoy, she will naturally not be able to get through.
Can Zhang Jianzhi and others not be surprised? Why is there no movement at all in the palace? It should not happen. But who did this?
Consort? No! The consort informed so many people to come here to save people. But the consort in the palace could not reach them.
While several people were engaged in a lawsuit, shouts came from the distance - the princess of Zhenguo was back. The courtiers sat up one after another: "Your Highness is back."
Yes! His Highness is back, then it's done.
After hearing the shouting, Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was back.
Lin Yutong was on the horse and saw what else he didn't understand about the situation. This was the petition that the fourth master had brought! He had set the day for the uprising to be today.
Where is he now?
He must not be at the scene. He must have closed the door of the mansion, stood on the lookout pavilion, and took his children to look at the scene from a distance. As for the matter, he only made it here. What happens today is up to his own choice. Drive the horse directly
When they arrived, before they even got off their horses, Liu Weizhi was the first to rush up and said, "Your Highness, this opportunity must not be missed and never come again! The prime minister is the heir apparent, and he ascends the throne as the emperor. It is up to you whether you can succeed or not."
I knew it would be like this!
Lin Yutong asked, "How long have you been waiting?"
"Half a day."
It's been so long, but Emperor Wu hasn't come to cook? This must be Taiping's handiwork! Emperor Wu trusted Taiping more than anyone else, and she never thought that Taiping would betray her.
Now that Taiping has intervened, given Taiping's personality, if she had a choice, she would not choose Li Dan. She has a really good relationship with Li Dan, so I'm afraid she has already made an agreement with Li Dan.
Li Dan... his temperament is too soft, too gentle. If Taiping said it, he would definitely agree.
Lin Yutong sighed in his heart, but kept a calm expression on his face. He just said: "You and General Wang will quickly take the Prime Minister out of the house. My people will go with you. Hurry!" After saying that, he handed over the Emperor's Sword.
"Take it, and be sure to bring the Prime Minister with you. His temper is stubborn..."
Liu Weizhi felt that the princess was thoughtful and used the Emperor's Sword to 'coerce' the Prime Minister to come, thus avoiding the suspicion of the Prime Minister taking the initiative to usurp the throne.
Seriously! Princess is really a kind person!
The ministers bowed and saluted one after another, and Liu Weizhi followed Wang Shouxin, holding the Emperor's Sword, through the crowd to meet the Prime Minister.
Lin Yutong turned around and looked at Zhang Jianzhi, "What's going on inside?"
I don’t know, it’s okay to think about it.
Lin Yutong saw Zhang Huai, who was leaning against the yamen and dressed in yamen uniform, and knew that nothing was really going on inside.
She immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"
exist!
Zhang Huai quickly gathered with dozens of people, "Follow His Highness's orders."
"Follow me to the Yamen!"
yes!
Zhang Huai shouted: "Open the door - it's Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo - open the door - it's Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo -"
The door opened with a rumble, and led by a subordinate officer dressed as a prison chief, escorting Lai Junchen and a dozen of his cronies, they all rushed out, "Reporting to your highness, all of them have been captured!"
Lou Shide's heart skipped a beat, what do people want? This is what people want.
The beginning of the righteous path is the foundation of kingly transformation! The benevolence of human relations is the precursor of kingly transformation! Today's passage has fully explained the word "wanghua".
He thought he was overthinking it, but when he followed the princess to the prison, he knew that he probably wasn't overthinking it.
The princess went in, opened the cells one by one, and helped the wronged ministers. What did she do after they came out? She slowly knelt down on one knee, then held Li Shangjin with one hand, and held Di Gong with the other, and followed closely.
With tears streaming down her face, she held her tightly and never said a word, but someone in the audience immediately burst into tears.
The princess wanted to say, "I'm sorry for causing you all such injustice. She didn't do a good job in the country."
What the princess couldn't say was: this misfortune was the fault of the superior. But the superior was her biological mother, and she couldn't say anything about her parents' fault, so there was no way she could say that!
Because of this, when the princess knelt down, people knelt down and cried, and she knelt down into people's hearts. Li Shangjin was so frightened this time. What would happen if he was really convicted of treason? The whole family was shocked.
He was definitely not the only one who had to die. He was an honest person, but he was even more scared this time. Tongtong's eyes turned red and he burst into tears, "Amei, you're back..."
In fact, the two of them are really unfamiliar!
Di Renjie sighed inwardly and helped the princess up with both hands, "Your Highness is like this, I am so embarrassed."
Lin Yutong took advantage of the situation and said, "Follow me to the palace and come to Junchen. Wu Chengsi has already taken him into custody. Let's go to the palace to ask the Holy Judge for this rebellion case today!"
Di Renjie made a gesture of invitation, but Lin Yutong supported him with one hand and Li Shangjin with the other, and had to call attention to Li Sujie and the older ministers.
But as soon as he came out of it, Zhang Jianzhi's passionate voice was heard: "Why did this 'rebellion case' happen so quickly? Is your Majesty really unaware of it or is he pretending not to know it? Your Majesty's move is to eliminate Li Tang and plot to usurp the throne."
Li Tang is given to the Wu family... It's time for us to bring order to the chaos and restore Li Tang's country..."
As he was shouting, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "The Prime Minister is here! The Prime Minister is here!"
Zhang Jianzhi shouted loudly: "Prince Xiang is the son of Emperor Gaozu, the grandson of Emperor Taizong, and a direct descendant of the royal family... It is time to support the orthodoxy of Li and Tang Dynasty in order to liberate the world..."
This was very much in line with the courtiers' wishes.
Good fellow, one person shouted, and everyone followed, all shouting to appoint the Prime Minister as the crown prince and to ask Emperor Wu to abdicate.
Di Renjie observed quietly without saying a word. Today, these people are just chess pieces. Now it is not that everyone really does what they want, but what the people playing chess really want.
Including this calm-faced Prime Minister who was dragged to usurp the throne, I'm afraid they are just pawns.
I am the aware chess piece, the one who makes a fuss is the unaware chess piece, and the Prime Minister should be the willing chess piece.
Li Dan dismounted and looked at the scene in front of him. Was he afraid? A little!
But when he met his sister's eyes, he was no longer afraid. He raised his feet and stepped forward. Lin Yutong took a step forward and gave him the central position.
Zhang Jianzhi and Liu Weizhi shouted: "Please ask the Prime Minister to comply with the people's sentiments and establish the throne of the emperor!"
The ministers then shouted: "Please Prime Minister, please comply with the people's sentiments and rectify the throne of the emperor."
The common people don't care who becomes the emperor? I just feel that this time the momentum is greater than last time, so that's probably it! They join in the fun and shout: "Please the Prime Minister to comply with the people's sentiments and rectify the throne of the emperor."
The sound spread out layer by layer, and people knelt down layer by layer. Lin Yutong was about to kneel down, but Li Dan stopped him.
Many people are thinking that if Wu has Princess Zhenguo to clear the way, and Wen has the support of the ministers in the court, and if Princess Taiping supports her internally, and has the support of the common people externally, how can she not ascend the throne?
Li Dan is not willing to ascend the throne yet. He is actually a puppet in a puppet show at the moment. If he is not good, he will still be a puppet in the puppet show in the future.
Even people like Your Majesty have to be trapped in the palace. Would it be better if it were you?
Don't! I don't look for that discomfort. Taiping has spoken out before and told me to cooperate.
This is exactly what I want.
Just when he was about to speak, he saw someone squeeze out of the crowd, who was it if it wasn't Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er squeezed out and went straight to Lin Yutong, handed over the imperial edict, "Your Highness, the edict has arrived."
Lin Yutong was stunned and looked at Shangguan Wan'er. Those who didn't know what she said thought that she had sent someone to the palace to request an order. She didn't look at it and handed it to Di Renjie directly.
Di Renjie took it and opened it and looked at it one by one, and then his heart skipped a beat. What a coincidence that this imperial edict came! When everyone was shouting for Emperor Wu to abdicate, the edict to appoint the crown prince came down.
What would happen if, in compliance with this decree, a prince is appointed and the matter ends in an anticlimactic manner? With the temperament of His Majesty, will he spare the courtier who made such a fuss today?
None of them can escape!
This will cannot be followed!
Everyone is interested in self-interest first, right? He quietly handed over his will and asked the Prime Minister to see it.
Li Dan glanced at it and handed the imperial edict to Zhang Jianzhi with profound meaning. Then he passed it on to everyone who read it.
As for the story, I heard Li Dan say, "I am a simple man by birth. I love to practice Taoism, love fine clothes, love delicious food, and love to be free in the mountains and rivers. This is known to the whole court! I am the youngest son, and the late emperor never regarded him as such.
Government affairs are entrusted to each other. Therefore, I am not good at government affairs! An emperor who is impatient with the work of writing documents and is not good at managing government is a blessing to the world and his people? Therefore, I will not grant it! This is not based on the sages.
It’s just a rebuke, but it comes from the bottom of my heart…”
Liu Weizhi's expression changed. He could tell that the Prime Minister really thought so. He immediately stopped the conversation and said, "Your Highness is where Li Tangzhi's hope lies..."
"Why does Li Tang's hope definitely lie in this king!" He raised his sister's hand, "Everyone knows that this person is the princess of Zhenguo. I dare to ask you, is this person a direct descendant of Li Tang?
Not a descendant of Li Tang?"
This...of course it is!
"Yes, that's enough!" Li Dan said, "You are willing to nominate a daughter with the surname Wu as the emperor, why can't the daughter with the surname Li be the emperor? The princess of Zhenguo has the merits of guarding the border to defend the enemy, the work of pacifying the border and settling the people, and she is also good at farming.
The meritorious service of farming and weaving! When the late emperor was still around, he was often entrusted with the task of supervising the country! In the past few years, has the state affairs been in the hands of the princess Zhenguo, has there been any mistakes? She responded to her, and served her relatives with filial piety. Not only the illness
She is always by her side, and is meticulous about food, clothing, and daily life. On the other hand, she takes care of her brothers, nephews, and treats them like a Chicheng. It is neither a lack of personal morality nor a lack of public morality, nor is it a lack of ability! Why, she can't do it for
Emperor?!" With that, he shouted loudly: "Dare I ask the people of the Tang Dynasty, do you think the princess of Zhenguo may be the emperor!"
Can! Can! Can!
The sound spread from farther to farther, and then to a very far place. In a short time, one wave became louder than the other.
That was a heartfelt agreement! There were more voices than before shouting slogans!
Li Dan listened to such shouts, and then looked at Liu Weizhi and Zhang Jianzhi, "Did you hear it? This is the real voice that belongs to the people."
Liu Weizhi's tears suddenly fell down, "Your Highness——"
Li Dan sighed, took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it against his neck, "As a minister, you should choose a wise king for the world! The princess of Zhenguo meets all the standards, she is a woman, but there is a precedent for women to ascend the throne, why should she be changed?
Why not if she is suitable? Today, if you continue to insist, I will die..."
Lin Yutong raised his hand and snatched Li Dan's knife, and then said the word "nonsense". Di Renjie stood up and knelt again, "I pray that the princess will comply with the will of the people and confirm the throne of the emperor!"
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "Dige Lao prays to Princess Di Ge to comply with the people's wishes and establish the throne as emperor!"
Lou Shide stood up and bowed again, "I pray that the princess will comply with the will of the people and confirm the throne of the emperor."
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted out one after another: "Princess Lou Ge Lao prays that she will comply with the people's wishes and establish her throne as emperor."
Liu Weizhi sighed softly, stood up and bowed again under the gaze of the Prime Minister, "I pray that the princess will comply with the will of the people and rectify the throne of the emperor-"
The words first came out from the crowd, "Princess Liu Xiangqi will comply with the people's wishes and establish the throne as emperor." Then the crowd cheered, one voice louder than the other.
Under such a roar, the officials stood up and bowed one after another, asking the princess to comply with the voice of public opinion. Mixed with the cheers, the news was heard all over the place.
Yes! What else can we do? If we don’t overthrow the other one today, no one will have a happy death. The one we want to raise would rather die than rise to power. The princess of Zhenguo’s voice was so loud, but she never heard a word
What else can I say to say no?
The incident happened, but it was completely out of control. It only developed in a direction that no one expected, and no one could stop it!
Li Jingye couldn't stand any longer and was shaking all over: "Is this... is this enough?"
That’s it!
"What should we do in the palace? There are imperial guards in the palace!" Li Jingye was anxious. If he didn't get to this point, his whole family would die. "Should we contact the army..."
It has been arranged for a long time! "Don't move yet! I have checked the background of each person selected by the Imperial Guard, and they are all selected from poor peasant families. Many peasant families have temples dedicated to the princess... They respect the princess as a god, no matter what
It would be too much of a hindrance.”
Li Jingye looked at his son and wanted to see if his heart was born evil! No wonder he was so easy to give advice to Emperor Wu. It turned out that he was just for the sake of being so good now.
However, if this is going to happen, is it really that good? What will happen in the future? There are no immediate worries, but long-term worries? I support the princess because her surname is Li. Although our family is also surnamed Li, the surname was not given to us to steal the country.
Yes. This is not right! Don’t wait until the end, and let future generations get involved one by one. If our children have to take the throne, you have to know that the opposition in the court will not be small.
The fourth master just laughed, time has changed and things in the future can be dealt with slowly. Now let’s sit down firmly and then talk about it! It all depends on people!
He took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to the other party, "Read this clearly first, and then remember it. You don't need to recite it, as long as you understand the meaning. Then follow the courtiers into the palace. Once the matter is done, Princess
The throne of the emperor has been established... When others support it, you have to oppose it! Your opposition will be ineffective. At this time, you should say the meaning of this document. Be sure to remember it and don't forget it."
Li Jingye felt very confused. He opened the brochure with a suspicious look on his face. The contents of the brochure were actually a brochure asking for resignation of the surname "Li" and requesting to restore the surname of "Xu"! The descendants of the British princes were the princess's children.
If you have three sons, please restore the surname "Xu"!
He looked at his son again uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
real!
"Everyone will return to the surname Xu?"
Well! You just need to express your attitude, and you have nothing to do with other things. "You have always been a loyal minister, a loyal minister loyal to Li Tang. No matter how unfilial your son is, it will not harm you. You will not be able to see your ancestors in the future."
ah."
Do you still have the shame to mention your ancestors?
Li Jingye held the fold and looked at the young faces of his three grandchildren. He wanted to say something more. After thinking about it, what else should he say? He asked, "Then I'll go... If you don't go, what else can you say?"
Something?"
Well! "My son took the children to kneel in the ancestral hall. If anyone asks, you can tell me that the descendants of the old Duke are ashamed of their ancestors, and you have punished us father and son to kneel in the ancestral hall! And you will force us to die and insist on the surname Xu."
, our family is a loyal minister! Don’t be a thief of the country, please remember your teachings!"
Li Jingye: "..." What does this black-hearted son want to do now? I don't believe that you planned this just to bring greater danger to future generations!
But when I look at them again, they still look so confident and confident, without any guilt.
This cowardly son should have been rubbed and thrown away long ago!
