Yanagi also wanted to hide, and Yanagi didn't want to stick to this big trouble.

So Liu Mu became very serious: "Father, second brother." My eldest brother-in-law rushed into battle to kill the enemy and shed countless blood for Datang. He has never been timid in the face of several times the enemy, but at this time, don't my father and second brother think that my eldest brother-in-law is afraid, and they are very afraid. ”

Li Yuan and Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong at the same time, they knew Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong's reaction was indeed abnormal.

Liu Mu said again: "Second brother, it is impossible for countless people to be absolutely fair in charge of this edict. Just as there are some meritorious deeds in the army that are not included in the military regulations, some people in the DPRK and China think that this merit is very great, while some people think that it is only a small merit, and the difference is that everyone has a rod in their heart, and this scale is still different. ”

"What does it have to do with Uncle Bao?" Li Shimin asked.

"There's a famous saying that forgetting comes from there. That sentence is that future generations should not be allowed to think that the throne can be obtained through planning. ”

This sentence was actually said by Li Shimin himself decades later.

At this time, this sentence is also the most in line with Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin's throne is made regardless of the accumulation of conspiracies and tricks, and he really wants to clear his name, Liu Mu's words gave him a good hint, he has merit and the Tang Dynasty, he has merit and the Tang Dynasty, and he has contributed everything to the Tang Dynasty. And Li Jiancheng, who used conspiracy and trickery, died well.

Li Yuan didn't know so much, he was still in the dark.

When Li Yuan heard this, he also thought it was very good.

"Erlang, the edict will be handed over to Xiaomu. That's it. Li Yuan made a decision: "The plaque in the Taiji Hall is not very high, it is not difficult for people with good skills to take a sneak peek, it is better to put it in a safe place." You can trap it heavily, and then lock it in a box of six. That's it. ”

Qin Qiong had a word in her heart.

In the matter of seizing the throne, Qin Qiong knew everything, but Liu Mu said such magnificent words. Terrific.

The matter of establishing the crown prince was thus decided, this is an important ceremony, Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not think of modifying this ceremony, because the prince represents the continuation of the dynasty, and without the prince, it is impossible to let the hundred officials and the people of the world feel at ease.

Liu Mu really couldn't get rid of this trouble, so he could only ask: "Then, I'll leave Chang'an tonight." ”

"I personally practice it for you." After explaining the trouble of establishing the crown prince, Li Yuan was very happy. His sons have all died because of the throne. He didn't want to die a lot more for his grandson because of the throne.

That night, Liu Mu got into a carriage and went north, passing by Sanyuan without stopping, but only transferred hundreds of people to follow him north.

A few days later, it was an auspicious day, and the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne.

Many courtiers were surprised that Yanagi was not there, because Yanagi was qualified to participate in the ceremony, and there was a good place for him.

And not for no reason is a felony.

Until the time of sacrificing heaven and earth and establishing the crown prince, Li Shimin swept over his sons. Li Chengqian's eyes were excited, Li Tai was jealous, Li Ke's eyes were calm, and Li You's eyes were a little uncertain.

"The position of the crown prince is related to the fortune of the country, and I have sacrificed to heaven and earth to write an edict to establish the prince. The edict was kept in a very safe place, and it was written a hundred years later. Until then, the edict was not constant. Choose the prince, establish virtue rather than longevity, and establish virtue rather than succession. ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Tianguan took out five keys.

"The secret box of the edict has been sealed, and there are six keys in total, and the six keys can only be opened in the secret box."

Li Shimin's words fell, and the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were like a frenzy, such a crown prince was unprecedented, and the new emperor Li Shimin had already made it clear that there were six keys. But there were only five of them.

"The first key is kept by the Emperor Taishang on behalf of the clan. The second key is kept by the Protector of the Kingdom. The third key is kept by Shang Shu's left servant. The fourth key is in the custody of Admiral Shence. The fifth key is in my own custody. The sixth key ......" Li Shimin stopped.

At the sacrificial ceremony, everyone held their breath, waiting for the last key to be there.

After Li Shimin's gaze swept over everyone, he continued: "The sixth key and the edict secret box are in Liu Mu. ”

The audience was shocked.

There were three surprises.

The first surprise was that it was not announced who the crown prince was, so it could be any of the three eldest people. The courtiers speculated.

This second surprise, there is only one protector in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, and that is Qin Qiong. And Qin Qiongtong is still a general of Shence. Then it shouldn't be Qin Qiong who keeps the two keys, but there is a new general of Shence, but who is this person?

This third surprise, the first five keys, can be said to be kept by the same position.

When the Emperor Taishang died, the key was handed over to the clan, and it should be Li Shentong.

If Qin Qiong passes away, then it will be the next protector of the country.

Xiao Yu's age is destined to be three years at most, and his key will be kept by another person. And the most unexpected thing is that the sixth key turned out to be a designated person.

Willow. Princess Changping's concubine, willow wood.

Xiao Yu stepped forward on behalf of the courtiers at this time: "Sage, Emperor Taishang." The minister wants to ask, where is Liu Juma at this time? ”

"This question is deferred." Li Shimin didn't answer directly, but he gave Xiao Yu an answer: "In two days, the three provinces will discuss the matter, and I will mention Xiao Gong's question." ”

Xiao Yu didn't want to ask again, so he could only order the ceremony to continue, and there was still a long process ahead.

Li Shimin also has to crown the ancestors, such as Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family, that is, Lao Tzu and so on.

It was already afternoon after the end of the sacrifice, and the first edict issued by Li Shimin as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was to transfer the lieutenant Chi Gong back to Chang'an and take over the post of general of Shen Cewei. Qin Qiong is the protector of the country and the prince of the country, but he didn't say what army Qin Qiong leads, is it just a false position to be responsible for keeping the key.

No one among the courtiers believed that Qin Qiong would have no duties and powers, you must know that Qin Qiong was the most trusted person for the two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that the new emperor Li Shimin didn't have half a sentence of explanation for Qin Qiong's position.

Guarding the secret power, Li Shimin doesn't want the world to know for the time being.

And the second holy decree issued by Li Shimin, the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was addressed to Ashinadur, which was a holy decree to allow the transfer of troops, and then there was a private letter, the content was only one sentence, Liu Mu went to the surrender city.

In the third holy decree, Li Shimin demanded that all the clans who had not made meritorious deeds be demoted, and the worst one was reduced from the king of the county to the county, which can be said to be almost a drop.

In the fourth holy decree, Li Shimin announced an amnesty for the world.

In particular, the henchmen of the former hidden prince Li Jiancheng were all pardoned, and no longer investigated for any fault, and they could be re-tried in the Ministry of Officials to become officials again.
