Compared with four years ago, Tianzi Li has completely changed a person, his body is bloated, his whole face is fat like a pig's head, and his eyes have become a thin slit, and he can't open them.

After four years of drunken life, he has been completely destroyed by the wine.

Li only sat at the table, holding a pen in his hand tremblingly copying the edict of Zen Rang, Zhu Zhu's righteous son Zhu Weixiao stood aside with a sword, he looked at the pile of fat wrapped in brocade, more and more impatient, and when the fat pig finished copying the edict and did not know that he would wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, he was angry in his heart and kicked it hard.

"What a fart! Hurry up and sign the edict and affix a seal. ”

Li was so frightened that he hurriedly signed and drew the seal, and then took the emperor's treasure seal and sealed, and he asked in fear: "Taiwei won't ..... You're not going to kill me, are you? ”

Zhu Weixiao said viciously: "If you want to follow my will, I will slaughter you with one sword, just like slaughtering a pig, but unfortunately I can't decide." ”

Li Zhi's face turned pale with fright, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

At this time, Yuan Xiu walked over quickly and asked, "Is the edict written?" ”

"It's just to use the edict drafted by Xiangguo, sign and print it directly, and he can't write anymore."

Yuan Xiu looked at the edict and could barely accept it, at this time, Li only knelt down and begged: "Yuan Xiangguo spare his life!" ”

Yuan Xiu glared at Zhu Weixiao, and said to Li Zhi: "Taiwei has already said, as long as you cooperate well with the abdication and Zen concession, I will give you the title of Duke Anle, so that you can live the rest of your life comfortably, this is the agreement with you at the beginning, Taiwei is a trustworthy person, you have to think nonsense anymore." ”

Li only landed with one heart and kowtowed again and again in thanks.

Yuan Xiu had Li only under house arrest, and then hurried back to Xingqing Palace with the edict of Chan Rang.

Daming Palace is surrounded by 10,000 troops led by Zhu Weixiao, and tonight is a critical night, and there can be no mistakes.

In Xingqing Palace, Zhu Zhu was trying on the dragon robe, it felt very good to wear the dragon robe, and a ceremonial officer next to him was explaining to him the basic etiquette of being an emperor.

At this time, Yuan Xiu appeared at the door, Zhu Jun saw him at a glance, and hurriedly beckoned: "Yuan Xiangguo, please come in!" ”

Zhu Jun immediately said to the ceremonial officer: "No need to say any more, step down!" ”

The ceremonial officer saluted and retreated, Yuan Xiu walked in quickly, looked at Zhu Zhu and said with a smile: "The Taiwei is really extraordinary, it is natural to wear a dragon robe, it is completely like it was tailor-made for the Taiwei." ”

Zhu Zhu laughed, waved his hand and asked Yuan Xiu to sit down, Yuan Xiu handed the edict of abdication to Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhu read it again, and asked, "Is the year name set?" ”

Zhu Jun personally set the name of the country as Qin, because Chang'an is the seat of the Qin State, but the name of the year has not yet been determined, and it is decided after consultation among the ministers of Waiting.

Yuan Xiu took out a document and said: "We have discussed, the era name has been preliminarily set three, and Taiwei can choose one of them, one is Emperor Yuan, one is Baoxiang, and one is Yingtian." ”

Zhu Jun thought of the jade tablet, indicating that he was the true son of heaven chosen by God, so he said without hesitation: "Just use Yingtian as the year name." ”

"Obey the order!"

"Have all the guests arrived?" Zhu Jun asked again.

"Returning to the Taiwei, we sent out one hundred and twenty-seven posts, and collected one hundred and five copies, basically all of them will come, and the state assassins, families, and princes from all over the country, among which Li Na, Tian Yue, Wang Wujun, Wu Shaocheng, and King Ji will send military advisors or ministers to watch the ceremony."

"What about Guo Song?"

Zhu Jun asked again, "Will he send someone?" ”

"This.... He did not respond. ”

Zhu Jun snorted dissatisfiedly, needless to say, Guo Song would definitely not send someone here.

At this time, Zhu Jun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered left and right: "Go and invite the military advisor quickly!" ”

Not long after, Liu Sigu hurried over and bowed, "See the captain!" ”

"No need to be polite, military advisor, please take a seat!"

Liu Sigu saluted with Yuan Xiu again, sat down, and Zhu Jun asked: "Yesterday the military advisor told me about the intelligence of the iron fire thunder, I think it is very insufficient, I want to know how it is made, I want to know the formula, we must master the manufacturing technology, in short, we also have to create the same weapon, this is very important, I hope that the military advisor will strengthen the intelligence, get the key intelligence at all costs, I will give as much as I want, but I want the result." ”

Liu Sigu was a little embarrassed, the technology of iron fire and thunder must be the top secret of the Hexi Army, how could he get it, but Liu Sigu couldn't say no, so he had to nod, "I will do my best to get the information!" ”

"And about Chengdu, I would like to know what the situation in Chengdu is after Li Shi's restoration?"

The information in this regard is very sufficient, Liu Sigu hurriedly said: "After Li Shi was reinstated, Han Rong was demoted to Banzhou, Zhang Yansheng was appointed as the right minister, and Cui Zao, the household servant, was appointed as the left minister, and the eunuch Song Chaofeng was still the privy envoy, and the northern government was established to contain the ministers of the southern government with the eunuchs of the northern government, and the ministers were quite complaining, but a few days ago, there was a major incident, Jiang Gongfu, the secretary of the military department, was poisoned at night, and this matter caused a stir in Chengdu. ”

"What's going on?"

"There are various theories, but it is inferred that this matter is related to the establishment of the crown prince."

"Tell me about it!" Zhu Jun suddenly became interested.

"Li Shi wants to choose one person as the crown prince between Li Ge, the king of Qin, and Li Qian, the king of Su, the two of them are fighting very fiercely, digging each other's old bottoms to sue each other, Jiang Gongfu was the prince of Su, he is very supportive of Li Qian, the king of Su, and gives advice to the king of Su, including the two Xiangguo are more supportive of the king of Su, but the eunuchs of the northern yaya support the king of Qin, Li Ge, not long ago, Jiang Gongfu had a recital, strongly demanding that the eunuchs be prohibited from interfering in politics, and two days later, Jiang Gongfu was poisoned and murdered."

"Does the military advisor mean that the assassination was committed by the eunuchs of the Northern Ya?"

"It must have been done by the eunuchs, firstly, to suppress Li Qian, the king of Su, and secondly, to take revenge on Jiang Gongfu, and at the same time warn the hundred officials, whoever dares to go against Beiya, Jiang Gongfu will be his end."

"These eunuchs are too arrogant!" Zhu Jun snorted heavily.

Liu Sigu sneered: "The problem is not with the eunuchs, or Li Shi conniving at them, not only the most elite Shence army is in the hands of the eunuchs, but also the Xinzang Sword Pavilion is also in the hands of Song Chaofeng, Ying Cai and his subordinates have recruited five hundred people, all of them are three sects and nine streams, Jiang Gongfu was bitten to death by a highly poisonous snake, and he heard someone playing the flute at night, obviously manipulating the poisonous snake." ”

Zhu Jun nodded slowly and said: "Li Shi reuses traitors and eunuchs, a typical faint king, it is a good thing for us, Chengdu is no longer a concern, but Guo Song is our biggest opponent and enemy, and the military advisor must find a way to get the iron fire and thunder technology." ”

Liu Sigu nodded silently, and Zhu Jun smiled again: "You can ignore this matter for the time being, my ascension to the throne tomorrow is the top priority." ”

.........

In August of the third year of Zhenyuan, Li Zhi, the son of heaven of the Northern Tang Dynasty, only issued an edict to abdicate, and gave the emperor the throne to Zhu Zhu, who officially ascended the throne in the Hanyuan Palace, and changed the country name to Daqin, and the year name Yingtian, he canonized his father Zhu Huaiqi as Emperor Xuanyuan of Gaozu, and named his brother Zhu Tao as the king of Yan, and at the same time set up his nephew Zhu Sui as the prince, and granted amnesty to the world.

Zhu Zhu's usurpation of the throne caused an uproar in the world, and for a time the voice of rebellion arose, and the Son of Heaven Li Shi issued an edict, angrily accusing Zhu Zhu of stealing the Tang Dynasty Temple, and being a thief in the world, everyone was punished.

But compared with Li Shi's statement, the world pays more attention to the news in Taiyuan, if Guo Song supports Zhu Jun, then Datang is basically over.

Just when the world was waiting with bated breath, Guo Song, the envoy of the Six Towns Festival and the king of Jin, did not disappoint the people of the world, he publicly declared Zhu Zhu a rebel, and he would personally lead the army to conquer Zhu Zhu.

.........

On the night of Zhu Jun's accession to the throne, Liu Sigu, who was named the chief scholar of the Jixian Palace, got drunk and was sent back to the mansion by the guards.

After the guards left, Liu Sigu suddenly sat up and waved his hand to the concubine Wang, "Go and close the door, don't alarm others." ”

Liu Sigu's wife died of illness many years ago, leaving him two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi served as the household servant, and the second son Liu Yu served as the assassin of Yuzhou.

Wang didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly complied, and Liu Sigu summoned her forward again and said, "You will leave Chang'an tonight and go back to your hometown to hide." ”

Wang was even more frightened, "Master, the concubine has been pregnant for seven months, how can she leave?" ”

"You listen to me, it's because you are seven months pregnant that I let you go, Zhu Jun ascended the throne, I will inevitably be wiped out with him in the future, I must leave a bloodline for myself, I will give you all my savings, you give birth to the child and raise it, name him Liu Jihei, let him marry a wife and have children, and reproduce children and grandchildren, I can only count on him."

"What if it's a little lady?"

Liu Sigu said with a smile: "A master has calculated for me, saying that I will serve the second master all my life, and will follow and assist the master to rebel and usurp the throne, and in the end I myself will be ruined and discredited, and there is no place to die, only the third son can continue my bloodline, I have been persuading Zhu Jun not to ascend the throne, it is useless, everything has come true, so you must be a son in your womb, you will leave tonight, I will arrange everything for you." ”

That night, the gate of Chang'an remained closed all night, and Liu Sigu arranged for her concubine Wang to secretly leave Chang'an and return to her hometown of Nanzheng County, Hanzhong.
