The Son of Heaven is finally going to set up the East Palace!

Whether it is the princes and grandsons of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, or the ministers of the court, they all feel that this is good news. Last time, after Li Longji recovered Luoyang, he hurriedly summoned Du Shiyi back, just under the banner of dealing with the aftermath, but he was fortunate to drive the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, known as the grand event of the East Palace, but there was a big case of Yongwang and his son assassinating the Son of Heaven and Du Shiyi's monarchs, and the inside information confided by Yongwang Li Lan was known to everyone in the streets and alleys in a blink of an eye. Although the monarch and the minister Dalun are there, Li Longji will be greatly disappointed when he leaves Chang'an, and it is obvious which way to go regardless of the public opinion or the people's will.

Even if Li Longji retired to the palace and did not go to the court, and let go of power, the matter of surrendering Shi Siming in Youzhou also made many people shake their heads and sigh behind their backs, and even beat their chests. When the Son of Heaven has reached this position, it is no longer enough to deter the subjects of the world, and everyone in all the ministries and states hopes that the East Palace will have a lord as soon as possible, and the Son of Heaven will pass on the throne as soon as possible. But countless concerts inviting Lidong Palace are the same as Pei Kuan's petitions for the addition of Zaizhi, entering the palace like snowflakes, and then sinking into the sea, the pressure on the savings of the court and the people is already very great, and some people even faintly feel that if this continues, a big chaos will break out sooner or later!

Therefore, on the night when the news came out, I don't know how many ministers did not return all night, discussing tomorrow's affairs with relatives and friends, as for the sixteen princes' mansions, the flying dragon riders outside were tightly guarded, but inside there were many princes and grandsons who were ready to move, and they didn't know how many promises they made overnight, but there were few people who were really at ease. The Son of Heaven just put down such a sentence, but there was no specific purpose, not even a superfluous word, and then thinking that Du Shiyi had not yet returned, and Hebei Province had no new news since the good news that Lian Zhan Lianjie was approaching Youzhou, and countless people were looking forward to it, and their hearts were empty.

It was summer now, the day dawned early, when the morning drum sounded, the fang gate and the city gates were opened in turn, and many officials gathered in Xingqing Palace from all directions. According to the day, today is not the season of the great dynasty, but even if you are lazy and don't go to the court on weekdays, today you are all dressed neatly and standing in front of the palace gate. When it was time to enter the palace, if you looked at it from a high place, you would see that there were thousands of people in the square in front of the diligent government building, which was 500 steps east and west, and 300 steps north and south. For the future master of the Tang Dynasty, everyone is speculating, discussing, and secretly expecting, among thousands of people, there seems to be a surging tide brewing.

Although the diligent government building is magnificent, it is still worse than the grandeur of the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, but for the hundred officials, it also has a great advantage, that is, there is no need to climb the high dragon head road. Even so, the first few elderly high-ranking officials were still a little out of breath after walking up to the high hall. Especially Pei Kuan, he only felt that his eyelids were jumping for a while, and he was extremely uneasy in his heart.

It stands to reason that there is a master in the East Palace, and he should be happy, but why does he always feel that something will happen today?

This was the first time that Li Longji had appeared at a court meeting since the month. When he sat on the throne and watched the ministers prostrate and prostrate down the steps, he had long since lost the hope he once had and was content.

The illusion of peace in the prosperous era was shattered by the rebellion of An Lushan, and in the past, everyone complimented the Shengming Hero, and the flattery of Emperor Taizong was chased after him. Even if you don't say it in front of him, how can he really not hear a thing? And as the Son of Heaven, he can't even suppress these voices, because he can't do it anymore. Because even those courtiers who still support the imperial family only think about setting up a new monarch and re-establishing the atmosphere of the new dynasty.

"I am the son of the Tang Dynasty, I am!"

After muttering in a very low voice, Li Longji took a deep breath and tried his best to control his slightly trembling hands. In order not to make any mistakes in the dynasty today, he deliberately took the imperial doctor with him, and even did not hesitate to use the medicine of the tiger and wolf. At this moment, when the courtiers who were kneeling down stood up and stood solemnly, and there was no other noise in the huge hall, he slowly opened his mouth.

"The thieves rebelled, the prince of Yisu was violent, the king of Guangping, the king of Jianning, died, and the East Palace has been vacant for a long time, so that the people are uneasy, and outsiders say that it is my selfishness, and I have been uncertain about the country, and even have slanderous and evil words against me."

After starting with such straightforward words, Li Longji grabbed the handrail with one hand, but the whole person sat up straight, and his face showed a somewhat hideous look.

"But would I rather do that? An Lushan has lived up to my kindness for many years and rebelled, Yang Guozhong has lived up to my trust and decided to avoid disasters in Shuzhong! And the troops were sent to conscript, and Ge Shuhan and others I used were all generals who had made great achievements over the years, who knew that they would be defeated again and again! I am old, so I believe in them, but if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? In the past, I wanted to save face and swallow my anger, but today I have to say that now there are people who are famous and loyal, but in fact have ill intentions, with the help of this military disaster, to seek fame and personal gain, and they are not allowed to send troops to force the monarch's father! ”

Hearing this, the hall finally couldn't maintain silence anymore, and suddenly exploded. The Son of Heaven said this, that is, he uncovered all the thoughts that were still hidden in the past, and clearly pointed the finger at Du Shiyi! Du Shiyi is now holding the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty in his hands in order to recruit the marshal, and it is indeed easy to be tabooed, and many of the previous moves have indeed exceeded the limit, but think about it carefully, if Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi sent troops in time, Chang'an fell into the hands of thieves, Li Longji escaped more slowly, and Datang might have died!

What's more, if Du Shiyi really wants to do it, when the Son of Heaven returns to Chang'an to quell the chaos, he suddenly kills him, and this Son of Heaven can still sit here?

Therefore, Pei Kuan tried his best to calm down his frightened mood, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is cautious, otherwise the loyal ministers of the sect will be cold!" ”

"Loyal ministers and good generals are cold? Why doesn't anyone think I'm chilling! ”

Li Longji himself suddenly raised his voice. He stared at Pei Kuan deadly, and finally suddenly giggled: "Pei Qing was able to hold Chang'an, relying on the help of the Du family, being able to become the prime minister, and relying on the support of the Du family, so he said this, isn't it?" However, I am very lenient and don't care about these things, but all the clans who are interested in the East Palace, you have all listened to me! ”

There are many princes and grandsons below, and it is rare to see the monarch in the past, standing there unevenly at this time, anxiously waiting for the release of the candidates for the East Palace, but who would have thought that Li Longji would suddenly say such a thing, such a complete tear of his face, it is tantamount to breaking with Du Shiyi! Du Shiyi is not one of those foolish and loyal people who kill with his head held high, and there is no room for this tearing face!

The eunuchs and guards on duty outside the main hall heard the voices inside at this moment, and they didn't know how many of them showed blank or sluggish expressions. Zhang Liangdi, as the crown princess of Yisu, didn't care about what the result would be if someone spied on her today, so she changed into a set of eunuch clothes, and took Li Jingzhong's envoy to come here to investigate, but she didn't want Li Longji to be so "strong". Hearing that Li Longji's next words were said to those clans, she couldn't help but pinch her palm with her sharp nails, and then she scolded hatefully.

"The old thief sent Li Li to Youzhou to deliver the decree before, and he did it on purpose! He didn't want anyone to come back alive! ”

Li Jingzhong was shocked when he landed, and he still couldn't help but hold a fluke in his heart. But at this moment, he could only hear Li Longji's voice from inside.

"Li Li, the king of Nanyang, has not heard from him since he set off for Youzhou and entered Hebei Province, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! If the war in Hebei Province was raging before, maybe the road was blocked, but now there are only the three counties of Fanyang, Yuyang and Miyun in front of him, and the whereabouts of his group are still unknown, and it is clear that someone in front of him has assassinated the bloodline of the clan! As the Li Tang clan, it is your duty to support the society, Li Pu, the king of Yi, among the princes and kings, you are the eldest, I will set you up as the East Palace, and order you to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, I think you are a virtuous king, you should be enough to bear this responsibility! ”

As the twelve princes, Li Pu, the king of Yi, is indeed the eldest of the princes alive today, and he is also one of the kings in charge of the previous inspection of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and the Baisun Courtyard, but if you want to talk about the virtuous king, it is of course a joke. Once upon a time, the Son of Heaven brought Du Shiyi to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, but he, the eldest prince, did not have the honor to attract the monarch's father, and even he felt that his chances of winning were really low. Now, a big pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head, and he was so dizzy that he could hardly believe it was true.

is not only the crown prince, but also hangs the post of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses!

He subconsciously knelt on the ground, and was about to thank his father, but an angry voice came from behind him: "When Emperor Ruizong established the East Palace, Yao Chong and Song Jing once advised him like this, and Grandpa himself still ascended to the throne because of this, and now when he establishes the prince, he forgets this one!" Does Brother Yi have merit, is there anything outstanding? ”

Feng Wang Li Heng is simply out of anger, his house was destroyed, and the big search and inspection that he tried his best to lead has also become a mess and become a joke, and now the crown prince has fallen to someone else, so what has become of him? Out of anger, he almost didn't choose his words, and directly pierced the layer of window paper on how Li Longji entered the East Palace. With him like this, all the voices of the princes were making noise. As for the civil and military officials next to them, they maintained an eerie silence. And Pei Kuan, who was standing at the forefront, saw that the sect was in a mess, and he couldn't help but bow his head gloomily.

And Li Longji saw that his golden mouth and jade words not only did not let the dust settle, but also aroused a voice of opposition, he was so angry that his teeth creaked and he fought, his eyes were blackened and his head was dizzy, as if he would fall headlong at any time, and several times he wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat. But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall that was even bigger than inside.

"Good news, good news!"

The drumming noise of the clans in the main hall finally stopped, and I don't know how many people turned their heads to look back.

"Marshal Du has recovered the three counties of Fanyang, Yuyang, and Miyun, killed the rebel general Shi Siming, and the main force of the rebels in the entire territory of Hebei has been wiped out, and now he has returned to Chang'an with the king of Nanyang!"
