Zhao Guan's family was placed under house arrest. As for Li Xiuyuan's fate, it is unknown. Since he did not choose to change dynasties, he would naturally not do something as stupid as regicide.
And when the situation is determined, I believe that the third prince Zhao Jing will make reasonable arrangements for his father.
Soon, Master Yang's imperial edict had been written. He was very aware of current affairs and drafted four imperial edicts directly. One was the Zhao Guan family's sinner edict, the second was the abdication edict, and the third was the succession edict.
The last one was to appease the people of the capital and even tell the people of the capital that the previous battle was not
Someone rebelled, but there was a traitor in the palace. It was the emperor who ordered Li Xiuyuan to enter the palace to serve the king.
"Master Li, this imperial edict to appease the people should be issued immediately to appease the people of the capital, to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and to prevent the other princes from using excuses to rebel." Master Yang's face was not very good, and he faced it with a hard head.
Li Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said.
"As soon as this imperial edict is issued, this edict should be issued. If everything goes well, the second edict of abdication and succession should be issued soon."
"As long as the new emperor succeeds to the throne, calms down the general soldiers and border troops in various places, and then Mr. Li leads the troops to scare Xiao Xiao, the overall situation will be settled and the country will be stable."
When Li Xiuyuan saw him hand over four imperial edicts at once, he knew that Mr. Yang had accepted the fact of the palace change and was willing to assist the third prince Zhao Jing in enthroning the throne.
Of course, Mr. Yang knows very well that he and Li Xiuyuan have a grudge and dispute. If he still chooses to die at this moment, when the new emperor ascends the throne and settles the accounts in the future, he will just end up confiscating his family and annihilating his clan. If he just becomes a wallflower now, what else can he do?
Preserve your reputation and preserve your family.
"Very well, Mr. Yang, what you did today is very aware of current affairs. Talking to a smart person like you will save your worries. Where is the jade seal? Third prince, please take the jade seal, seal it and send it out. I will abdicate and ascend the throne.
I'm not interested in taking care of it. You can handle it yourself. I'll stay in the capital for ten days, ten days.
After that, I went south and returned to Yangzhou to take up a post."
Li Xiuyuan turned around and stood on the golden palace and glanced down at the third prince Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing was a little surprised and said: "Master Li will leave in ten days, so who will defend the capital? What if the generals from all walks of life are dissatisfied with my ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor, and rebel?"
He was originally a sinecure prince in the capital, with no power or support.
After suddenly ascending the throne, he found that he had no one to rely on, and now that he heard that Li Xiuyuan was leaving, he had no confidence at all. He was afraid that if Li Xiuyuan left, he would be kicked off the throne.
"Before we entered the imperial city, I had ordered Han Shizhong, the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou, to march north to the capital. The 50,000 infantrymen were feigning movement. Calculating the time, his cavalry will probably reach the capital in ten days. At that time, I will let him
Han Shizhong entered the Forbidden Army camp to replace the 800,000 Forbidden Army and defend the capital for you.
If the generals from all walks of life want to rebel, they must also consider their abilities." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
"Everything is under Mr. Li's control, so I can rest assured." Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
With 20,000 cavalry around, he believed that his throne could be secure.
"Stop standing there, come up." Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
Zhao Jing walked up to the golden palace with excitement, crossed the steps, and came to the dragon chair.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "According to the agreement, you help me break into the imperial city, and I will support you as emperor. Now this agreement has been completed. What do you think, Zhao Jing?"
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help. I am deeply grateful." Zhao Jing said excitedly.
"Very good, then I will leave the Song Dynasty to you. Although the world is in decline, the people are in dire straits, and a different emperor may not necessarily make it better, but I still hope that you can govern the world with your heart. Of course, if
It doesn't matter if you are the same as your father in the future. You can't manage this world naturally.
Someone will take your place in running the world. Today it is you, maybe next time it will be someone else."
"I will keep it in mind." Zhao Jing said humbly,
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "The words are a bit treacherous. From now on, maybe I will be the only one who will say these words to you. You will not hear such harsh words after today, because you will be the emperor after today, so why not
There is no need to worry that I will rebel. The generals under my command will not rebel either.
, of course, if you become emperor for a long time in the future, you will feel that I am a threat and want to get rid of me."
"Then, I will come back to this palace, and then the world will no longer believe in Zhao."
Zhao Jing's heart froze when he heard this, and he felt inexplicable fear when he looked at Li Xiuyuan's cold and majestic eyes.
He knew that Li Xiuyuan would not rebel, but he had the ability to rebel. It would be too easy for him to conquer the world with his ability. No emperor would tolerate such a person in the world.
But Zhao Jing did not dare to have the idea of eating the rabbit to death and cooking the dog.
At least not while Li Xiuyuan is still alive.
"In addition, according to the previous agreement, if you become the emperor, the land of Yangzhou will be handed over to me to govern. You don't have to give me the title of marquis or prime minister, and I will be the governor. It's good that I will be the governor. The annual taxes will not be
Don’t give it to the imperial court, but I ask the third prince not to worry about the governance of Yangzhou.”
Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
He took the land of Yangzhou not only to give himself a guarantee, but also to leave a way out.
He would not be so stupid that after the palace coup, he would cut off his arm from the dragon's meritorious service even though he had support. He would not seek fame or fortune and just think about quitting after his achievements. If that happened, he would definitely be killed by this Zhao Jing in the future.
The struggle for power is always bloody.
Therefore, he wanted to take Yangzhou to use this place as a foundation to scare Zhao Jing and let him know that today he can invade the capital from Yangzhou for the first time and also for the second time. After all, Yangzhou has soldiers, money, and food.
If you really want to rebel, Yangzhou has this foundation, especially in this country where the country's power is declining.
under the circumstances.
"Master Li, please rest assured, Yangzhou will always belong to Master Li." Zhao Jingxin said firmly, already recognizing the result in his heart.
Even if Li Xiuyuan wanted to take over another state, he could only nod.
Exchanging the land of a state for the world is not a bad deal.
"Write an imperial edict to me and I will take it back to Yangzhou later," Li Xiuyuan said.
Zhao Jing immediately said: "I will write an imperial edict in my own hand right now, and I will ensure that Lord Li is satisfied."
Master Yang looked at Zhao Jing writing at his desk, and then looked at Li Xiuyuan, and the corner of his mouth suddenly couldn't help but twitch.
From today on, there will be more Yangzhou kings in the world.
Although he was not granted the title of marquis, Li Xiuyuan was no different from a prince after he returned to Yangzhou. It was just that the court had a better reputation and was called Li Cishi.
Soon, Zhao Jing wrote down his first imperial edict before ascending the throne, stamped it with a jade seal, and handed it to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan took one look and immediately ordered the eunuch: "Have someone frame it and send it back."
"Yes, yes, Master Li." The eunuch took it tremblingly and trotted away immediately.
"Master Li, what should we do next?" Zhao Jing said a little cautiously.
"You should ask yourself what to do next, not me." Li Xiuyuan held his shoulder and pressed hard.
Zhao Jing stumbled and fell onto the dragon chair.
"Because you are the emperor now, I will give you a true dragon picture to help you suppress the fate of the country." After speaking, Li Xiuyuan flicked his cloak.
"Ouch~!"
A dragon roar suddenly sounded, echoing in the main hall, but a real dragon phantom was seen flying out from his golden-red cloak. The dragon shadow wandered around in the Zichen Hall, flying up, and making bursts of dragon roars.
, and finally the dragon's roar landed on the golden pillars of the Golden Palace.
But on top of the golden pillar, I saw a relief sculpture of a red dragon coiled around the pillar, which was lifelike and like a living thing.
"This, this is" Zhao Jing's face was full of shock when he saw this magical scene, but then he was pleasantly surprised.
Could these visions confirm that he is the True Dragon Emperor?
"Old minister, I bow to your Majesty." Mr. Yang immediately knelt down and bowed to your Majesty, shouting loudly. It was clear that this wallflower had done a very good job.
"I bow to your Majesty."
Seeing this, all the civil and military officials in Zichen Hall were also shocked and hurriedly knelt down.
Zhao Jing was excited and excited when he saw this. He wanted to imitate his father and shout "Pingsheng" without any courtesy, but because Li Xiuyuan did not dare to make a mistake again, he couldn't shout. He couldn't sit still for a while and didn't know what to do.
good.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan ignored the kneels of these people. He turned and left, walking towards the outside of Zichen Hall, taking long, steady and powerful steps.
Suddenly, he opened his arms, as if embracing the sky and the earth outside, and then said: "Emperor, you do it, and I will bring peace to the world."
The voice was loud, echoing in the hall, deafening.
What he meant by leveling the world was not leveling the Zhao family's country, but the entire world in heaven, on earth, and in the underworld.
We do not seek a hundred years of peace, but we seek eternal peace and tranquility.
Li Xiuyuan's philosophy is far better than a throne, so he has never had the idea of rebellion and becoming emperor, because no matter how powerful a dynasty is, it only takes three hundred years to rise and fall.
Three hundred years, for ghosts and gods, go by in the blink of an eye.
Maybe you were an emperor three hundred years ago and were powerful all over the world, but three hundred years later there might be old ghosts peeing on your grave, or spirits dragging you out of the grave and whipping your corpse.
When Zhao Jing saw that Li Xiuyuan did not worship the new emperor, did not ask for favors, and expressed his great wishes, he did not realize that he had any rebellious or rebellious intentions. Instead, he felt that this man's virtue and realm had transcended the shackles of fame and fortune. Such a person is really
It is rare in the world. If it were in the Spring and Autumn Period, no other saint could do it more.
So be it.
"With this person in the Song Dynasty, the world will be at peace." He didn't know why but he felt a little relieved in his heart.
As long as Li Xiuyuan doesn't die, Zhao Jing feels that he has a backer in his life.
This feeling is ridiculous. He is already considered the emperor now. Since he thinks that this Li Xiuyuan will be his future supporter, he has no suspicion or fear of this person.
But that's the truth.
Li Xiuyuan left the Zichen Hall, and the soldiers under his command also withdrew from the hall one after another, leaving only Xu Bao, a group of forbidden troops, and hundreds of civil and military officials.
He did not kill all the civil and military officials who were possessed by the centipede spirit, because there was no one in the court at the moment, and they were still needed, and without the protection of the imperial master, they thought they would be able to live in peace for a while.
If you kill him now, it will only make people think that you are a villain who slaughters hundreds of officials.
However, it’s just that you don’t kill now, it doesn’t mean in the future.
