For several days in a row, Wang Yuan's mansion continued to be begged to see him, the generals in the Shence army, and the officials of various state capitals came to see Wang Yuan in an endless stream, and they all came to persuade Wang Yuan to think twice and implore Wang Yuan not to make such a decision.

The people of Chengdu also spontaneously organized themselves and crowded the streets around Wang Yuan's mansion. and selected famous people and gentry to meet Wang Yuan for persuasion.

In the face of such surging public opinion, Wang Yuan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the reaction to this incident to be so great. The generals, officials, and people who came to see him even openly and bluntly said that they should seize the world and start a new dynasty, instead of going back. The words were fierce and earnest, and there was even a howling and crying to grab the ground with his head to admonish, which made Wang Yuan cry and laugh.

Regarding Wang Yuan's decision, there was also quite a dispute in the inner house. Even Gongsun Lan didn't quite understand Wang Yuan's move, let alone Li Xin'er and the rest of the people. They all think that it is nothing if Erlang is not the emperor, but it is unbelievable that Erlang wants to praise this emperor as the emperor again. Even if it is to gain the legitimacy of raising troops, it will not pay such a price. This will hurt the morale of the people and the morale of the military.

The reaction of the two sisters, Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan, was even more intense, and when Wang Yuan tried to explain the reason, he was closed, and both sisters chose to avoid it. Mrs. Qin even brought a message to Wang Yuan and said that if he didn't change his ways, he would close the door with Yang Yuhuan from now on and never see him again.

Wang Yuan had no other way but to smile bitterly. On the one hand, he could only explain to these people with painstaking words, but the reasons for these explanations could not satisfy them. On the other hand, Wang Yuan could not make his true thoughts about his decision to restore Fengxuanzong public, in addition to obtaining the legitimacy of sending troops and depriving Li Mao of the legitimacy of the throne, Wang Yuan actually had an unsightly purpose. And this purpose is only known to Gao Xianzhi, except for Gao Xianzhi and himself, no one knows. Wang Yuan will never make this goal public.

But in any case, Wang Yuan will not change his course because of these objections and persuasions. He has always been like this, what should be done is still to be done, what should be promoted is still to be promoted, and few people can make him turn back. Xuanzong promised to announce to the world that the premise of Li Mao's improper throne was to restore and ascend the throne first. Wang Yuan can only do this if he wants to achieve this goal. Things have come to this point, and Wang Yuan must move forward.

Under Wang Yuan's order, Xuanzong's restoration as emperor was in full swing. It doesn't have to be too grand, but there is a minimum of etiquette. The dragon robe crown must be prepared, and the etiquette process must also be walked, and it must always be present. Xuanzong was very anxious, urged Wang Yuan many times, and even said that everything could be simplified, which shows his eagerness to regain the throne.

……

In the midst of the heavy opposition of public opinion, Xuanzong's enthronement ceremony was finally held on the second day of October in Sanhualou. On the morning of the same day, the hall on the ground floor of the Sanhua Building was arranged in the shape of a golden palace, and Wang Yuan summoned all the officials and generals in the name of Xiangguo. But except for Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi, almost everyone looked indifferent, if it wasn't for Wang Yuan's order that they must be present, these guys would not have come.

Xuanzong was very happy, sitting on the throne with a smile on his face and a radiant face. When Wang Yuan led everyone to bow down at His Royal Highness, Xuanzong almost burst into tears. Thinking about what happened in the past two years, it's like a dream. Originally, he was sitting in the rich and prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know how nourishing his life was, but then Yuyang's agitation was earth-shattering, and he lost everything almost overnight. After that, he was exiled, hid in Tibet, was forced to abdicate, and became a prisoner of the order. was almost tortured to death by his own son. And now, he has actually returned to the throne and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty again, isn't all this like a nightmare.

Xuanzong also understood in his heart that he was actually just a puppet in Wang Yuan's hands at this moment. But Xuanzong felt that the compromise at this moment did not mean that he would be subject to others forever. As long as Wang Yuan does not dare to usurp the throne, then his goal will be achieved. There may not be a chance to turn the situation around in the future. Moreover, Wang Yuan has also promised to let himself return to Chang'an in the future, he will be the king of Shu, and he will never enter Chang'an. As long as Wang Yuan keeps his promise, Datang will still be the Li family.

The enthronement ceremony went smoothly, although the atmosphere was a little dull, but under the leadership of Wang Yuan, although everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, they could only follow the etiquette one by one. At the right time, just as Xuanzong led everyone to the open space outside the Sanhualou to hold a symbolic ritual of worshiping heaven and earth, from outside the east gate of the Sanhualou compound, a general suddenly rushed in from the door, which startled Xuanzong.

Wang Yuan rolled his eyes, these guys under his command really had no rules, how could they run around in the place where the ceremony was being held. The person who came in was the general of the scout battalion in charge of the intelligence work of the Shence Army, named Tian Zhen. Intelligence work has always been directly under Wang Yuan's jurisdiction, so don't look at this scout battalion with only a few hundred people, but it is an equal organization to all battalions in the army.

"Marshal, marshal, urgent information. Please take a look. Tian Zhen rushed straight to Wang Yuan's side, completely ignoring the solemn enthronement ceremony that was taking place.

Wang Yuan frowned and squeezed his eyes, signaling to Tian Zhen that this was an enthronement ceremony, not child's play. But this did not stop Tian Zhen from rushing over. Wang Yuan was extremely helpless, so he had to say to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty wait, wait for the ministers to go and see what happened." ”

A cadre of civil and military ministers almost burst out laughing. It's really a strange news in the world, and the marshal actually asked His Majesty to suspend the enthronement ceremony for a while for a piece of information, which is simply child's play. It can be seen that in fact, in the mind of the marshal, the restored new emperor is not so important.

The anger in Xuanzong's heart was indescribable, and his enthronement ceremony was actually suspended. It is inconceivable that such a major ceremony should be suspended for the sake of a piece of information.

Wang Yuan frowned and walked towards Tian Zhen, Tian Zhen rushed over, kneeling on the ground and saluting. Wang Yuan waved his hand and said in a low voice: "What are you here to report at this time?" Not a spark of decency. Don't you know that this is His Majesty's enthronement ceremony? ”

Tian Zhen turned his head to look at the surrounding posture, smacked his lips and said: "You can't manage this, this is a major military situation from Chang'an, and you don't dare to delay it." ”

"What military intelligence? Take a look. Wang Yuan frowned and stretched out his hand.

Tian Zhen reached out and took out a sheepskin letterhead from his arms, and there were three brightly colored bird feathers stuck to the outside of the letterhead. The three bird feathers are the most urgent and urgent items in the letterhead system of the Shence Army. You don't have to look at the content to know that something big has happened. These three feathers were only used twice during An Lushan's rebellion and Li Mao's ascension to the throne in Lingwu. Those two were also extremely important military events.

The waterproof sheepskin letterhead was sewn with needle and thread in circles, and Wang Yuan didn't even have time to cut it with a knife, but only tore it hard, then tore the letterhead and took out a few pieces of paper inside. After unfolding it, it only looked at it a few times, and then it changed color.

Everyone looked at Wang Yuan's face and knew that something must have happened, and Xuanzong also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Wang Yuan, what happened?" ”

Wang Yuan walked quickly to Xuanzong and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is no need to carry out this worship ceremony. I will make up for it another day. Your Majesty is invited to return to your palace and take a seat, and you will have important news to inform Your Majesty and the ministers of civil and military affairs. ”

Xuanzong was stunned and said, "Something big happened? ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's really a big deal, but it's expected. ”

In the hall on the first floor of the Sanhua Building, which was temporarily used as a court hall, the civil and military officials all stood solemnly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Xianzhi, who was standing in the middle. Gao Xianzhi was holding the secret letter and reading its contents to everyone. Before that, Wang Yuan made a brief explanation and told everyone that this was the edict issued by Li Mao in front of the 500,000 army on the Chang'an West School three days ago.

"Sue the Tang Dynasty to the ministers and workers of the world. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the country has lasted for one hundred and forty years, Gaozu Taizong has worked hard to govern the country, and then there are the merits of the governance of the previous emperors. However, in recent years, our Datang has suffered frequent disasters, the people have been devastated, thousands of miles of scorched earth, mountains and rivers have been broken, and traitors are rampant. This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. I heard that the son did not say anything about his father's faults, but as the son of the Tang Dynasty, I shouldered the responsibility of supporting the lives of all people in the world, and I did not dare to cover up the royal faults with this statement. I have to say that this is the Emperor Xuanzong's dynasty, who did not know people, did not use people well, was a traitorous minister, and a thief who raised tigers and wolves was the disaster of today, and left today's chaos. In the Taishang Dynasty, Li Linfu first dominated the dynasty with a honey-belly sword, and then Yang Guozhong and his family caused chaos in the world. The traitor An Lushan supported the army and respected himself, and the emperor did not know the disaster, but he spoiled and connived, and finally the disaster of the society was in danger, and the world was in danger. This has to be said to be the fault of the emperor. ”

Everyone's eyes were on Xuanzong, who sat on the throne in a daze, staring at Gao Xianzhi with cloudy eyes, his face flushed, and even anger seeped out of his wrinkles. At this time, his son Li Mao's edict, his son was nakedly turning over his old accounts.

"Rebel thief Wang Yuan......" Gao Xianzhi swallowed and spat and glanced at Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan stood there expressionlessly, without any expression. Gao Xianzhi lowered his head and continued, "...... Rebel against the source of the thief, play the trick of clinging to the power scheme, and win the trust of the emperor. Then he used Yang Guozhong's power to dominate the land of Jiannan. Privately collecting soldiers and horses, secretly accumulating food and salary, using the wealth of the imperial court to support private soldiers, and harboring evil intentions and plotting against them. When An Lushan raised the army, this thief did not come out, and when the imperial court was defeated, he led the army to coerce the emperor to Shu, called the merit of saving the driver, but it was actually coercing the Son of Heaven to order the world, intending to take advantage of the chaos in the world and plot against my Tang Dynasty. This thief and An Lushan are both wolf ambitions, and their insidious cunning is far better than An Lushan, this person is good at calculating and winning people's hearts, and is good at hypocrisy, blinding the hearts of the people in the world. It is indeed a heinous and unforgivable thief of the world......"

"Big bullshit, what kind of bullshit is Li Mao saying that this is reversing black and white, it's all bullshit." Liu Dehai scolded and shouted.

"Yes, what kind of bullshit, Li Mao, is this dog eating too much shit? Squirting feces all over the mouth. This dog thing really isn't human-raised. It's a brute. Tan Ping also shouted and scolded loudly.

"That's it, son of a bitch. Dashuai was born and died for Datang, and when he got into the mouth of this dog, he was insulted like this. The crowd shouted.

Wang Yuan frowned and waved his hand: "What are you doing?" Give me a good listen, what if I am scolded for a few words? Why are you so breathless? This is the court, and you must not roar. ”

And all the people were in their place, and they were all in their place. Zhao Qing whispered to Tan Ping, who was panting beside him: "Brother, you just scolded Li Mao for not being raised by a person, but a beast." Isn't this scolding the new emperor sitting in our hall for not being human? ”

Tan Ping was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What's wrong with scolding him?" How can there be a good thing in their Li family. He gave birth to a son of a beast, and I will not be able to scold him? He's a fart emperor, and he gave him face back. ”

Zhao Qing raised his big finger and praised: "Brother, you are still powerful." If you scold the emperor in front of the emperor, you are the only one in the world. ”

Tan Ping snorted quite proudly, and at this time, Gao Xianzhi's voice sounded and began to continue reciting the edict.

“…… I followed the Emperor Taishang to Chengdu, and I understood Wang Yuan's true intentions of this thief, and I didn't want my Datang Sheji to control the hands of this thief, so I resolutely ventured out and broke through the king's thief's heavy pursuit to reach Lingwu. With the assistance of Li Guangbi and other loyal ministers, I decided to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne to break the situation of thieves and thieves stealing the country. Before I ascended the throne, I ordered someone to seek the permission of the emperor, and the emperor also saw through the thief's heart to steal the country, and also knew that he was not the opponent of the king thief, so he issued an edict to pass on the throne to me, and gave me a great responsibility. I succeeded to the throne as emperor in times of crisis, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the country from the rebellious and cowardly thieves. In those days, I trembled and trembled like walking on thin ice. Fortunately, God bless my Tang Dynasty, and I am entrusted by heaven and favored by heaven. After I succeeded to the throne, I conquered Chang'an, and the rebels fled in all directions and left in a hurry. At this time, Wang Yuan saw that there was an opportunity, so he led the army out of Shu to snatch the merit of rebellion and win the name of counterinsurgency. The people in the world who don't know the truth praise each other, but they don't know that they are thieves who sell their fame and reputation to win people's hearts, how sad is it? ”

"I swallowed my anger, but it was really a move to take the overall situation into account. The thieves are gone, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. I was busy settling the displaced people, rectifying the court, gathering soldiers and horses, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of this national thief, and I had to make peace with him and appease him. I also remembered that he had made a small contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and I wanted to reform his crimes, so that he could reform and return to the imperial court, so as to avoid the suffering of the world's soldiers. However, I regarded it as weak and deceitful, and this thief became even more aggressive and domineering. At this time, something even more painful happened to me. ”

"Emperor Taishang returned to Lishan and refused to live for the rest of his life, intending to restore his throne. I originally had the intention of returning the throne, but the Emperor Taishang was stupid and ignorant, and colluded with Wang Yuan privately, wanting to use Wang Yuan's power to restore his throne. Wang Yuan led people to steal into Lishan Palace to conspire with Emperor Taishang, but unexpectedly, the princes and ministers learned about it. Emperor Taishang and Wang Yuan were afraid that the matter would be revealed, so they suddenly became murderous, killed hundreds of princes and princesses, and stole out of Lishan to return to Chengdu. The liver and gallbladder of my hearing were violent, and the pain was heart-wrenching. The Emperor Taishang was so faint, and I was really heartbroken. Emperor Taishang's move violated the way of heaven and humanity, and for his own selfish desires, he didn't care about the feelings of flesh and blood, and did not think about the importance of society. It's outrageous and unbelievable. ”

Gao Xianzhi read this in one breath, and his mouth was dry. I swallowed and spit, gasped for breath, and suddenly found that there was silence all around. Looking around, I saw that everyone around me, including Xuanzong and Wang Yuan, had their mouths open and their expressions were sluggish, with an incredible expression.

"How can this thing be so ridiculously made. Damn, it's a shame that this thing doesn't go to the script. ”

"Yes, I reversed black and white and made up a mess, and poured all the dirty water on the handsome and the emperor. On the contrary, he is a high-spirited and tolerant person. This son of a bitch is really a talent. ”

The crowd was both angry and surprised, and they exchanged words and discussions.

Xuanzong's face was full of purple, and he felt that his breathing was about to stop, and his entire lungs were about to explode. Dizzy and dizzy, cold sweat streaming down his body. He never expected that Li Mao not only turned over his old accounts, but also reversed black and white out of nothing, attributing the death of Li Hui and others, and all the evil he Li Mao did to himself. It is simply outrageous to slander and insult oneself unscrupulously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty. Xiao Shanzi, who was standing on the side, saw that Xuanzong's face was wrong, and he was short of breath, so he hurriedly stepped forward to beat Xuanzong's back.

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can't listen to these slanderous words, please ask Your Majesty to retire and rest first." ”

Xuanzong waved his hand weakly, and said in a dumb voice: "I'm fine, I just want to hear how this rebel can be disobedient and slanderous." ”

Wang Yuan nodded, turned to Gao Xianzhi and nodded, "Go on." ”

Gao Xianzhi coughed and continued to read the edict: "...... I learned from the pain and finally made up my mind. The ancients wiped out their relatives with great righteousness, and if I tolerate my hesitation any longer, I will lose my righteousness, lose the hearts of the people, and destroy my Tang Dynasty. In view of this, I am here to announce to the world today that from today onwards, the relationship between me and the former emperor and father and son will be broken, and from then on, I will only think about the Tang Dynasty, and I will never miss my father's affection. Today, all the people testify, heaven and earth are a mirror, the first emperor is deaf, colluded with the rebel Wang Yuan, and harmed my Tang Sheji. From now on, the crime of conspiracy against the crime will be punished. I am a great ** people, and I should keep it in mind. I hereby announce that my army of 500,000 will launch a crusade against the source of the rebel king. From now on, he will take the post of Wang Yuan and Tang Xiangguo, and all titles and official positions will be exempted. Wang Yuan is a thief of my Tang Dynasty, and everyone in the army and civilians has been punished. ”

Gao Xianzhi slowly put down the letterhead full of the contents of the edict, and said in a deep voice: "The above is the content of the edict, and the next is the text of the crusade against my Shence army, which lists the ten sins of Wang Yuan, and orders the army and the people of the world to punish my Shence army." I don't think I need to read these anymore. ”

Wang Yuan knew that this was Gao Xianzhi in order not to embarrass himself too much, so he didn't
