1124. Chapter 1124: The First Storm

"Who?"

"Xue Rengui. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Zhi wanted to find a trusted person to guard the Xuanwu Gate, Tang Zhou recommended Xue Rengui, and when Tang Zhou said this name, Li Zhi was very surprised, and said: "Tang Aiqing, the contradiction between you and Xue Rengui was not small before, how could you recommend Xue Rengui at this time?" ”

Tang Zhou said: "The relationship between the minister and Xue Rengui is not very good, but the saint asks who can guard the Xuanwu Gate, not who has a good relationship with the minister, if you say who can guard the Xuanwu Gate, Xue Rengui should be the first choice." ”

Xue Rengui is Li Shimin's Ying Mengxian minister, and he has been promoted very quickly in recent years, but after Li Shimin's death, he will definitely have a certain amount of uneasiness in his heart, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is difficult to say whether Li Zhi is willing to rely on him.

And a person like Xue Rengui, as long as you trust him, he will serve you to the death.

Now Xue Rengui is uneasy, as long as Li Zhi shows trust in him and asks him to guard the Xuanwu Gate, then Li Zhi can go to Cuiwei Palace with confidence, and he doesn't have to worry about the capital.

Tang Zhou explained a little to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi felt that what Tang Zhou said made sense after listening to it, so he did not hesitate, and immediately issued an order to let Xue Rengui guard the Xuanwu Gate.

When the order was issued, Xue Rengui immediately became excited, he thought that after Li Shimin's death, he might be abandoned by the new master, after all, Li Zhi and Tang Zhou had a good relationship, and he had even more Tang Zhou had a conflict.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Zhi actually asked him to guard the Xuanwu Gate.

What kind of place is Xuanwu Gate, that is the gate of the imperial palace, if it is not a particularly trusted person, who would dare to hand over the gate of his house to a person like this?

Xue Rengui was excited in his heart, and after receiving the edict, he went to Xuanwu Gate to guard it that day.

At the same time, Li Zhi and the ministers and hundreds of officials have rushed to Cuiwei Palace, and on the side of the capital, there are also some officials left to guard, but they are only responsible for some things in the capital, if there is any major matter, they still have to be sent to Cuiwei Palace.

Tang Zhou also followed, and a person like him, who has an extraordinary relationship with Li Shimin, also wants to guard Li Shimin's soul.

After coming to Cuiwei Palace, the main hall of the palace has been arranged into a mourning hall, there are hundreds of officials kneeling outside the mourning hall, Tang Zhou and the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang The three prime ministers are in the front, and in the main hall are kneeling some of Li Shimin's concubines and princes and princesses in the capital and so on.

Originally, Princess Danyang was also coming, after all, it was her royal brother who died, but now Princess Danyang can't stand the rush, she can only stay at home and wait for the arrival of her little life.

And if Princess Danyang doesn't come, Tang Zhou's identity is considered to be the prime minister, so he can't go into the house to guard the spirit.

And just when everyone was kneeling inside and outside the mourning hall to guard the spirit, crying from time to time, a person suddenly rushed in outside, this person looked haggard, much thinner than before, after he came in, he suddenly howled and cried: "Father, why don't you wait for your son, why don't you let your son see you for the last time?" ”

The person who came was none other than Li Tai, the king of Wei.

At this time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, ran into the mourning hall in a frenzy, after he entered the mourning hall, he beat his chest and stomped his feet, crying so miserably, but at this time, no one came to persuade him, and he had to wait for King Li Tai of Wei to cry enough, and then someone would come forward to persuade him, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, could not say that someone would not cry as soon as he persuaded him, he had to continue to cry, and others would continue to persuade him, so that after a few times, he could be a little more restrained, and he did not need to cry so exaggeratedly and obviously.

In fact, like this kind of crying, the general psychology is not particularly sad, the really sad crying should be unbearable sobbing, as if the tears just flowed down so suddenly, the psychology is sour, the nose is too, and then for some reason, I just can't help but want to cry.

The royal family is ruthless, except for a few princes and princesses, how many can there be who really have deep feelings for Li Shimin? The more they want to compete for the throne, the more ruthless they become.

After the king of Wei Li Tai cried, the other princes and princes also came one after another, and the scene of Li Tai, the king of Wei just now, was repeated, like a lantern on a horse.

When everyone finished crying, it was getting late, and a gust of evening breeze blew in Cuiwei Palace, and there was a trace of coolness in such a midsummer atmosphere.

There are also people who keep watch at night, but these people during the day can go back to rest, many princes and princes enter Beijing, Li Zhi naturally wants to see them, the purpose is very simple, let them understand that they are already the Son of Heaven, of course, the three prime ministers also have to accompani, because they know very well that not everyone agrees with Li Zhi as the Son of Heaven.

In the temporary study room of Cuiwei Palace, a group of princes and princes gathered together, Li Zhi glanced at them, and said: "Princes, because of King Jiang's rebellion, I have already ascended the throne in advance, and because of the hurry, I didn't have time to inform you again, but in my opinion, you should be able to understand, what do you say?" ”

Li Zhi needs them to recognize their position as the Son of Heaven.

Several princes looked at each other, and then saw Li Zhen, the king of Yue, stand up and said: "Prince, even if you want to ascend the throne, you have to wait for us princes to return to the capital. ”

Li Zhi, the king of Yue, called Prince Li Zhi directly, obviously not recognizing his identity as the Son of Heaven, and this Yue King Li Zhen was also deeply favored by Li Shimin at the beginning, and naturally had a hope for imperial power.

Li Zhi saw that Li Zhen actually called himself the prince, his brows suddenly condensed slightly, and then the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stood up and said: "Lord Yue, now that the prince is my son of the Tang Dynasty, you'd better change your words." ”

Since the eldest grandson Wuji is the prime minister and the minister of the orphan, he naturally does not allow Li Zhi to be despised like this, and they must establish their majesty.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, snorted and said, "What kind of enthronement ceremony is it without so many of our princes attending?" ”

As soon as Li Zhen, the king of Yue, said this, other princes also echoed him, some people have ambitions in their hearts, so they naturally followed and said, some people have no ambitions, but they feel that Li Zhi is indeed a bit unruly in doing this, so he also wants to get justice, these people muttered and shouted, Chu Suiliang frowned slightly, and said: "Who said that without the participation of you princes, this enthronement ceremony would not be an enthronement ceremony?" You are really so bold, and now you dare to contradict the saint like this? ”

"Before your father died, you took away your father's throne like this, how do you let us recognize you as the emperor?"

"That's it, why don't you have to wait for your father to be buried before you can ascend the throne?"

"You are unfilial, my father knows, how can you smile at Jiuquan?"

"That's it, it's ......"

These princes obviously didn't listen to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang in their hearts, and even if the two of them were angry, it would be useless, Li Zhi frowned slightly, glanced at Tang Zhou, who had not spoken, and wanted him to give an idea, if these people did not admit their own son of heaven, it would be very troublesome when the order was executed in the future.

After Tang Zhou saw Li Zhi's pleading gaze on his side, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Holy Lord, you can let them think about it." ”
