Chapter 1781 The end of an era (2)

In the 17th year of Zhenguan, that is, the 18th year of Li Chengqian's arrival in the Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Dynasty Conference was held as scheduled.

All the officials worshiped and shouted long live the mountain. The old man looked at the dark heads below solemnly, and finally positioned his eyes on a hunched figure: "Wei Zheng, are you in better health?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I... it's better!" Wei Zheng stood up tremblingly, as if he fell down when the wind blew.

This old man has been ill for a long time and has ignored the government affairs in the past, but today he appears unexpectedly, which makes Li Shimin really confused.

However, there is no absolute thing in the world. Maybe Lao Wei’s health is really good, maybe he can’t say it.

Listening to Lao Wei's explanation, Li Er saw his eyes shifting to the distance and looking out of the hall, which felt a sense of change in things and changing in the world.

Seventeen years ago, when I first came to the throne, the entire Tang Empire had Turks invaded the border, and there were locust plagues and floods inside. It can be said that they were bothered with internal and external troubles. They had to hold a large dynasty meeting in a small place in the East Palace.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, and it is already the overlord of this continent. With a call, no one dares to refuse to follow the world. Many officials even need to set off from their fiefdoms two months in advance to arrive in Chang'an on schedule.

It’s different, it’s really different. Perhaps only in this way can I deserve the title of “Tian Khan”!

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying the countless nervous and uneasy below...

What? Li Er felt that he couldn't say it. For some reason, he always felt that this time the dynasty would look a little weird.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had just walked out, suddenly knelt down tremblingly, touched the ground with his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do with me, I won't be happy if I don't vomit."

"Tell me!" Li Shimin took a deep look at Wei Zheng who had already shrank into a ball, and his face became serious.

"Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne in the ninth year of Wude, it took ten years and seven years to destroy the Turks, pacify Liaodong, suppress Tubo, and destroy the Western Regions. Their achievements are better than those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. However, everything cannot be completed. Although Your Majesty's "martial" and "mastery" are the world's most powerful, he still needs..."

"Wei Zheng, what do you mean? Let me make it clear!" Wei Zheng had just said halfway through his words, and Comrade Li could no longer listen. His voice was filled with an extremely chill.

However, Old Wei, who was lying on the ground, did not hesitate at all. As soon as Lao Li finished speaking, he heard his voice slowly coming: "I want to ask Your Majesty to abdicate to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

With a "bang", Li Er kicked the table hard. The man stood up suddenly. Wei Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground under his fingers, shouted angrily: "Bold Wei Zheng, talk nonsense, come, take down this traitor, push it out, and kill it!"

Jing, the whole hall was so quiet. Old Li was so angry that no one spoke in the whole hall, and there was not even a single person coming up to dissuade him. Moreover, no one outside moved his steps.

Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin clearly realized something and turned his attention to Li Chengqian who was standing aside.

And at this moment, with a "boom", countless people suddenly knelt down on dust and said in unison: "Please abdicate your Majesty at the Crown Prince!"

Damn, this is a rebellion!

Li Shimin's eyes were red when he was angry at the scene in front of him. He stared at Li Chengqian, who was standing aside with an innocent face: "Prince, is this what you want?"

"No, no! No, it's not me!" Li Chengqian came to his senses instantly when asked by the old man, shook his head quickly, but was secretly complaining in his heart.

What is Lao Wei going to do? The old man is a good emperor, so just let him be the one. The left and right are just a name. Isn’t it better to hide behind the scenes like before? Why did Mao insist on letting the old man abdicate and go to the front desk by himself? What is the difference between this and before! Apart from making the old man angry, there is no substantial change at all.

Moreover, even if you want the old man to abdicate, can you discuss it with me? Why do you have to create such a big scene? How can you get rid of the old man who is very good at 100 sons? Maybe it will be a good thing!

Just as he was thinking, Wei Zheng below spoke again: "Your Majesty, can you listen to what the old minister said?"

"Tell me!" Li Er turned his head and said in a deep voice at the group of people below.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, really doesn't know about this. The old minister used his colleagues to visit him during this period to communicate with you." Wei Zheng first explained for Li Chengqian who was stunned, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, this is the last time the old minister advises. The so-called death is about to die, and his words are good. I hope Your Majesty will not let down the old minister."

Li Er didn't say anything, just looked at Wei Zheng, but Old Wei didn't look up at all, and still said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, we are all old and no longer can keep up with the development of the Tang Dynasty. How long have you not read the memorials? The old minister doesn't know, but the old minister knows that some of the things reported from the bottom are something that the old minister has never heard of or heard of."

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is already the Tang Dynasty of young people. Young people are growing up, and the Tang Dynasty is also growing up. If we control the government and continue to stay in this position, we will only suppress them and slow down the Tang Dynasty's progress."

"His Majesty……"

"Enough! I don't listen to your nagging anymore!" Listening to Wei Zheng's voice getting angry and getting weaker, Li Er didn't know what his mood was like at this moment.

Sad? Yes, it hurts. This minister, whom he called the Mirror of Man, was the first person to abdicate. I have to say that this is really the most ironic thing.

Hate? Yes, there is also hatred. He defeated the Tang Dynasty. Now he has to offer someone to others. How can Lao Li, who has a strong desire to control, stand it?

Regret? There is no such thing as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty never regrets his work. Even if he has reached this point today, he will not regret it. He is just a little regretful.

Even many years ago, Lao Li had expected such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, these feelings seemed useless. Rumor told him that if he refused to give way today, it would be nothing. The brat next to him is still confused. Obviously, this incident was not done by him.

This means that the court officials below are just testing, or expressing their way of standing in the team, and they dare not really use force to force themselves to abdicate.

However, when things got to this point, Lao Li felt that it was meaningless to continue to sit on the throne. He had no one under his command, and this position was just given by others.
