Chapter 291: Embattled Li Yuan abdicated
Chapter 291: Embattled Li Yuan abdicated
In the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Yuan looked at Li Xiuning's back, his eyes becoming clearer and clearer. Pei Lin opened his mouth, but he didn't open his mouth yet.
Li Yuan turned around and smiled bitterly: "Pei San, I know what you want to say, it's just ...... I can't help it. Now this Taiji Palace is no longer my Taiji Palace. I know very well that this time Erlang took a risk, and Dalang was also disheartened......"
Li Yuan actually didn't say it, and Pei Lin also understood. No matter how benevolent and filial Li Jiancheng is, everyone in the East Palace will never allow Li Jiancheng to sit in the position of the crown prince, they need Li Jiancheng to go further.
Of course, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, conspired against him, this matter is too big, and he also needs to give an explanation to the people of the world.
Under the illumination of the candle flame, the old age spots on Li Yuan's face became more and more obvious. It's just that there is a sparkle in his eyes. Li Yuan looked at the palace in the distance, and said helplessly: "I am not reconciled......"
"The minister knows that His Majesty is unwilling!" Pei Lin said: "There are many places that are unwilling, and the old minister hopes that His Majesty can endure it." There are times when the minister looks away, Chen Ying is really reborn when he comes back this time, but Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about anything, he will leave Chang'an, and it is impossible to pose any threat to you in the future......"
Li Yuan's brain turned rapidly, and he lost Li Shimin's son, although Li Shimin escaped from Chang'an, it was only a matter of time before Li Shimin was caught with the strength that Li Jiancheng could hold in his hands. Li Yuanji can't support the wall with mud, even though he has ambitions to fight for that position, but he definitely can't fight Li Jiancheng.
Suddenly, a crazy thought appeared in Li Yuan's mind.
Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Pei Lian's hand and said, "Pei San, you said that if I make Sanniang a Shangshu order, an auxiliary general, and a generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, what do you think?" ”
General Fubi is an official position set up by Emperor Murong Wei of the former Yan Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and belongs to one of the four ministers who are on his deathbed.
When Pei Lin heard this, his face suddenly changed.
He knew that Li Yuan was unwilling to lose the power in his hands, but he definitely didn't expect Li Yuan to be so crazy. Li Yuan has many sons, in addition to Li Zhiyun, there are five concubines, but these sons are too young to compete with Li Jiancheng for the crown prince.
Although Li Yuanji, the only adult, is ambitious, he is unruly and uninhibited by nature, and he has no dazzling achievements.
But Li Xiuning is different, although she is a woman, she does not let her eyebrows be shaved. Although he seems to be weak, he is decisive and decisive, and the most important thing is that Li Xiuning has Chen Ying's assistance and help. Chen Ying holds 100,000 elites of the Anxi Army, and although Li Xiuning's women's army has been abolished, with Li Xiuning's prestige in the army, it is easier for her to control the military power than Li Yuanji.
Pei Lin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can't, if this is the case, it is the strategy to destroy the country." ”
Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I have brought down these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and I can give it to whoever I want, and no one can control it." If you don't want to give it to anyone, no one can grab it. ”
Pei Lin looked at Li Yuan's resolute face, and did not persuade again.
Because Pei Lin knew that Li Yuan was actually not a soft-eared person, and no one could change what he decided.
Li Yuan said: "Pei San, you come to study ink for me!" ”
Pei Lin reluctantly stepped forward to study ink for Li Yuan, Li Yuan picked up the pen and wrote: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and raised the Yuhuan District, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and take the endless rest of the Mianzong Society. I have been working hard all night. Look up to the ancestors of Mo Lie. Entrusted. Cheng Ao Yanqing, end in Yuanliang. The concubine Xiuning, the Japanese table Yingqi, is gifted and beautiful, has a pure nature, and is obedient to public opinion. I would like to tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community. On the 16th day of the first month of the seventh year of Wude, Xiuning was awarded the golden book of life treasure and established as the imperial concubine. is in the West Palace, commands the three provinces with Shangshu Ling, and assists the general, commands the soldiers and horses of the world, comforts the four seas, and conquests are not subordinate......
After Li Yuan finished writing, he was satisfied with drying the ink, and then took his small seal and stamped it. Then he ordered Chang Shi to take out the Heavenly Mandate Rune Treasure (at this time, Datang did not have a jade seal of the country) with a seal.
Li Yuan looked at Pei Lian.
Pei Lin reluctantly took out his small seal, as well as the Tang Sikong seal.
However, with the red seal covering this edict, Pei Lian's heart slowly sank at the same time.
……
In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Chen Ying watched the twenty-four vassal kings, princes, and princes of the Tang Dynasty also sign their names in the Xiande Hall and press their handprints.
At the same time, the Datang Royal Business Alliance was formally established.
Li Jiancheng served as the honorary president, and Chen Ying served as the general manager of the Datang Royal Business Alliance. At the same time, the Tang Royal Commercial Alliance also discussed how to develop the Western Regions, how to divide the four million fertile lands in the Western Regions, as well as countless forests, grasslands, and various minerals.
These things will not be clear for a while, but the kings gradually understand Li Jiancheng's intentions, and Li Jiancheng asked Chen Ying to divide the interests of the Western Regions, so as to win over their clans. To say that Li Tang's clan, in fact, is also full of hardship, although they enjoy ten thousand stones, but if converted into money, even if the vassal king, enjoy the treatment of one product, their annual money is only about eighty-two yuan, about six hundred and fifty stones, one thousand two hundred acres of vocational land, two hundred and forty yuan of service money, if converted into RMB, about one hundred and seven hundred and fifty yuan.
However, not to mention the food and clothing for the family, even their honor guard and personal guards could not afford to support them. Chen Ying outlined a grand blueprint for them, as long as the development of the Western Regions was completed, the annual income of these feudal kings would be at least 8,000 guan, even if the most low-level had an income of 3,000 guan.
Chen Ying asked them to sign the "Datang Royal Business Alliance Western Regions Development Corporation Equity Subscription Agreement", "Datang Royal Business Alliance Alliance Alliance Declaration" and "Silk Road Protection Agreement", "Grain Price Protection Agreement", "Textile Price Protection Agreement" and other agreements, more than 20 copies.
It wasn't until almost midnight that Li Jiancheng sent away all the vassal kings, clan princes, and princes.
When only Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo, Xu Jingzong, Wang Qi, Wei Ting and others were left in the Xiande Palace, Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to ask: "Chen Ying, what are you doing here?" ”
"It's done!" Chen Ying picked out a piece of the agreement signed by everyone that read "Iron and Steel Resources Development Agreement", and Wei Zheng soon discovered that this agreement was thicker than other papers.
Chen Ying took out a small knife and gently picked up half of it, leaving only the other half of the joint signature part.
This is the bridge that Chen Ying saw in later film and television dramas, whether it was true or not, he decided to experiment, and sure enough, the Tang clans who were carried away by the huge interests did not realize the cattiness, so they all signed and drew a bet.
Looking at the half-blank text, Wei Zheng suddenly realized, he pointed at Chen Ying and said, "You are a conspiracy!" ”
"Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, just use it!" Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly: "There is a wise man who once said that a black cat and a white cat are good cats if they can catch mice." ”
Chen Ying took out a piece of paper from his underwear, slapped it heavily on the desk, pointed at Xu Jingzong and said, "Xu Jingzong, you come to copy!" ”
Xu Jingzong only glanced at it, and his face changed greatly.
I saw that it read: "Born to steam people, the tree is the king, to the heaven and the earth, the priest Li Yuan." The Holy Emperor Ming saw that if he was like this, he knew that heaven and earth could not lack food, so he bent down to serve him; Knowing that Li Yuan could not be left without an owner, he had to come as a last resort. It's hard to ...... in times of social development."
Wei Zheng's face also changed slightly, and he muttered: "Persuade the ...... to enter the table"
"You're so daring!" Li Jiancheng pointed at Chen Ying and shouted, "Where are you putting this palace?" ”
Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "This matter is a joint letter from the Murozong vassal state, the prince of the country, and the prince of the country, what does it have to do with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "You are deceiving ......"
"Wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong!" Chen Ying smiled faintly and said: "Chen Ying is just picking up the wisdom of the ancients and emulating the wisdom of the Marquis of Ruyin!" ”
Li Jiancheng is also familiar with the classics, Chen Ying explained, he immediately understood, this is Chen Ying to learn from Han messenger "embattled" plan, Han Xin was ambushed on all sides, surrounded the Chu overlord Yu Xia, when the Chu overlord heard the singing of Chu around him, he mistakenly thought that Liu Bang had obtained Chu land, otherwise there could not be so many Chu people in the Han army, so he was disheartened. In fact, it's just a ploy.
Of course, it is similar to Chen Ying's method.
Li Yuan has now lost control of the military power of the Taiji Palace, and his orders cannot get out of the Ganlu Palace, but Li Yuan will definitely not be willing to fail, he will try to fight back. Waiting for the opportunity to regain power, even now Chen Ying can't guess what tricks Li Yuan is holding back.
Li Yuan has always been Renwei, as the patriarch of the Li family, the Li family has been promoted to princes and nobles by him from the end of the year, they are Li Yuan's confidence and strength, not to mention, Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, they are all generals who control the military power.
However, when Li Yuan saw this joint persuasion form, he would definitely be disheartened and agree to the Zen position.
Li Jiancheng was still hesitating, but Chen Ying didn't give him time to react.
Chen Ying yawned and said, "It's not too early, your subordinates will retire first!" ”
Saying that, Chen Ying left the Xiande Hall and walked away.
Li Jiancheng looked at Xu Jingzong's transcription of the persuasion table, picked it up and prepared to light it on the candle, Wei Ting saw this, where was he willing to let Li Jiancheng succeed, he hurriedly pounced on the candle, and was not afraid of the hot wax oil, and directly extinguished the candle.
Li Jiancheng wanted to rush towards another candle, Wei Ting pulled out a horizontal knife, held it in front of his neck, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't take the throne, the minister would rather die!" ”
Wang Jue also knelt on the ground and said, "If the minister can't assist the Holy King and create an ancient inheritance, what good is it to live?" ”
Wei Zheng took advantage of Li Jiancheng's hesitation and hurriedly regained the persuasion table from Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Xu Shimo, Xu Jingzong, Wei Ting and others, and smiled bitterly.
……
When the sky was slightly bright, Li Jiancheng was dressed in a prince's uniform, standing outside the Ganlu Palace, looking at the Ganlu Palace.
As time passed, Li Jiancheng was very nervous.
Wei Zheng and Wei Ting stood behind Li Jiancheng, staggered by half of their shoulders. Wei Zheng's face was serene and calm.
Wei Ting walked up to Li Jiancheng and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
Li Jiancheng finally took a deep breath, held the persuasion watch in one hand, pressed the hilt of the sword with the other, and strode into the Manna Palace.
Looking at Li Jiancheng's arrival, Li Yuan sat on the stool with a casual look.
Li Jiancheng bowed and said loudly: "The son of the emperor to see his father!" ”
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and then he pretended to be panicked and said, "Da Lang, you shouldn't come!" ”
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But I'm here!" ”
Li Yuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Shh...... You be quiet, there are Erlang's people all around here, they are coming soon, you hurry up, or you will die......"
Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with painful entanglement, and finally Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "Daddy, the child didn't want to persecute Daddy, so I became the prince first, but now it seems that it is not possible!" Fang Xuanling said that being an emperor means that he can't do things that he is happy about, and he can't make decisions about many things, which is not a lie. ”
Li Yuan looked lonely, and said: "Da Lang, you go quickly, I have already given Sanniang a secret decree, she will lead the women's army to come to the rescue in a few days, Sanniang will never fail me, she can capture Chang'an for the first time, and she can also capture the second time!" ”
Li Jiancheng ignored Li Yuan's nagging, and said directly: "The child has decided, according to the sixteenth day of the first month, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor, whether Daddy can figure it out or can't figure it out, he must retreat to the Taishang."
Li Yuan seemed to have no strength, lowered his head and said, "You ......"
Li Jiancheng said softly: "Daddy, both the Tang Dynasty and the Li family need you to abdicate." ”
Li Yuan raised his head, his eyes confused.
Li Jiancheng took out the persuasion form from his arms and put it directly in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan took the persuasion form, and in front of the persuasion table was just a bunch of empty nonsense, just like the sacrificial text of the sacrifice to the sky, it was all gorgeous rhetoric, but it was empty.
Li Yuan's gaze fell on the joint signature behind him.
In first place is Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, followed by Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng...... Then all the rest were the vassal kings, princes and founding marquis appointed by Li Yuan himself.
Li Yuan's throat was slightly sweet, not good, it made this kid so angry that he was about to vomit blood! His voice was high-pitched and sharp: I'm old, I can't do a lot of things! Now, great changes in the world are coming, and I think I ...... Without that spirit, there is no way to deal with this internal and external troubles...... However, I have a few words here, if you want to say it in advance, it will be up to you to listen or not! ”
Li Jiancheng said: "Sons and daughters listen to the hadith! ”
Li Yuan chattered: "The emperor's seat, in the eyes of others, may be unattainable, but only when you climb up, the person who sits on this seat can understand the cold of the wind, not that you can do whatever you want when you are the emperor, and everyone in the world can be wanton and be the king...... But it is necessary to be vigilant at all times, and follow the etiquette at all times, because the emperor is an example for the people of the world, and his words and deeds must be passed on to future generations and emulated by future generations. From this point of view, the emperor is sometimes inferior to even ordinary people. If you become an emperor, you must have to prepare for a lifetime in prison, at this level, don't blame the old father, I didn't mention you in advance! ”
Li Jiancheng said with a resolute face: "Father, don't worry, you can open your eyes and watch, I will definitely be a good emperor!" ”
……
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the sixteenth day of the first month.
Early in the morning, the attendants were busy giving Li Jiancheng and changing into the emperor's crown robes.
Fu Yi held a wat board in his hand and explained the celestial phenomena on the side: "On the first day of the first month of the first month, on the third day of the first month of the first month, Taibai passed through the sky twice, both of which appeared in the east. The minister thinks that the main East Palace should have the world! ”
Li Jiancheng smiled disappreciatively and said, "Taishi Ling, you almost gave the widow's life for the abolition of the Qin King's recital.
Fu Yi said without changing his face: "The abolished King of Qin did find his subordinates, but his subordinates, it is not because King Qin has a life that he analyzes the celestial phenomena so much, but because the celestial phenomena are indeed like this!" ”
Li Jiancheng was stunned, stared at Fu Yi and said, "You are talking nonsense!" ”
Fu Yi asked rhetorically: "Isn't the celestial phenomena analyzed by His Majesty accurate?" ”
Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and was speechless.
Fu Yi said: "Your Majesty, the position of Taishi, since Dong Hu descended, has been inherited based on truth and words, whether it is the abolition of King Qin or His Royal Highness, he cannot control the celestial phenomena." ”
Li Jiancheng nodded again and again: "Okay!" Good! You Tai Shi Ling, continue to do this. ”
The attendants packed up.
Li Jiancheng carefully examined his appearance in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and strode towards the main hall.
Li Jiancheng came to the main hall of the Xiande Palace, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo, Xu Jingzong, Fang Xuanling and others had already bowed down, among the generals, the leader was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the second was Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, but Li Jiancheng glanced around the crowd, but did not find Chen Ying.
Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Pei Ju and said, "Why didn't General Chen come?" ”
Pei Ju bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, General Chen is on leave, Princess Pingyang is in labor today!" ”
Wei Zheng reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!" ”
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" The middle attendant sang in a frustrated voice: "Hundreds of officials worship!" ”
The ministers bowed and saluted: "The ministers meet Your Majesty!" ”
Li Jiancheng ascended the throne in the East Palace Xiande Hall on the 16th day of the first month of the seventh year of Wude, and changed the following year to Kaiyuan.
At the same time, it was announced that Zheng Guanyin, the crown princess of Lidong Palace, was the queen.
The second son, Li Chengdao, was appointed as the prince of the East Palace.
With Chen Ying as the Shangzhu State, the Hussar General, the Lu Shang Shushi, and the Crown Prince.
