Chapter 291 Li Yuan abdicates from the throne
Chapter 291: Li Yuan abdicated
In the Ganlu Hall of Tai Chi Palace, Li Yuan looked at Li Xiuning's back, his eyes became clearer and clearer. Pei Ji opened his mouth, but he had not spoken yet.
Li Yuan turned around and smiled bitterly, "Pei San, I know what you want to say, but... I have no choice. Now this Tai Chi Palace is no longer my Tai Chi Palace. I know very well that Erlang took the risk this time, and Dalang was also discouraged..."
In fact, Li Yuan didn't say it, Pei Ji also understood that no matter how kind and filial Li Jiancheng was, the people in the East Palace would never allow Li Jiancheng to sit in the position of the prince. They needed Li Jiancheng to go further.
Of course, the Qin King Li Shimin is too big for rebellion, and he also needs to give an explanation to the people of the world.
Under the candlelight, the old man spots on Li Yuan's face became more and more obvious. However, his eyes were bright and bright. Li Yuan looked at the palace in the distance and said helplessly: "I am not willing..."
"I know Your Majesty is unwilling to give up!" Pei Ji said: "There are many places that are unwilling to give up. The old minister hopes that Your Majesty can endure it. I also miss you. Chen Ying is really reborn when he comes back this time, but Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about anything. He will leave Chang'an and it will not be possible to pose any threat to you in the future..."
Li Yuan's brain turned rapidly and lost Li Shimin's son. Although Li Shimin escaped from Chang'an, it would be a matter of time before Li Jiancheng could hold Li Shimin. Li Yuanji was unable to support him. Even though he had the ambition to fight for that position, he would definitely not be able to fight Li Jiancheng.
Suddenly, a crazy idea appeared in Li Yuan's mind.
Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Pei Ji's hand and said, "Pei San, what do you think if I make Sanniang the Shangshu Ling, the General of the Assistant General, and the Grand Marshal of the World's Military and Horses?"
General Fu Bi was an official position established by the former Yan emperor Murong Rong during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He was one of the four major ministers and ministers of the regent when he died. He was named the sixth uncle of the emperor, Murong, and his fourth brother Murong Ke, was named the general of the regent.
When Pei Ji heard this, his face suddenly changed.
He knew that Li Yuan was unwilling to lose his power, but he never expected Li Yuan to be so crazy. Li Yuan had many sons, and in addition to Li Zhiyun, there were five concubines. However, these sons were too young and had no qualifications to compete with Li Jiancheng for the position of prince.
Although Li Yuanji, the only adult, was ambitious, but he was unruly by nature and had no dazzling achievements. He could not govern the country through literature and could not maintain stability in the country through martial arts.
But Li Xiuning is different. Although she is a woman, she is not allowed to be a gangster. Although she seems weak, she acts decisively and decisively. The most important thing is that Li Xiuning has the assistance and helps Chen Ying. Chen Ying holds 100,000 elite troops in the Anxi Army. Although Li Xiuning's female army was laid off, with Li Xiuning's prestige in the army, she is easier to control military power than Li Yuanji.
Pei Ji said anxiously: "Your Majesty cannot. If this is the case, it will be a strategy to destroy the country."
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I have built this ten thousand miles of land. I will give it to anyone I want to give it to, and no one can control it. If I don't want to give it to anyone, no one can rob it."
Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan's determined face and did not persuade him again.
Because Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan was not actually a person with weak ears, and no one could change what he decided.
Li Yuan said: "Pei San, come and grind ink for me!"
Pei Ji had no choice but to step forward to grind the ink for Li Yuan. Li Yuan picked up his pen and wrote: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered that since ancient times, the emperors inherited the heaven and established the extreme and pacified the world. He must establish the Yuan Crown and the foundation of Maolong, and to provide the boundless rest of the Mianzong community. I have been so proud of my ancestors. I am so proud of my responsibilities and trusted me. I am so proud of my ancestors. I am so proud of my entrustedness and trust in the Yuanliang. My daughter Xiuning, who is so beautiful every day, has a pure talent, and is obedient to public opinion. I am so proud of the world, the ancestral temple, and the country. On January 16, the seventh year of Wude, she was granted the title of Xiuning as the imperial daughter. She was the chief palace and commanded the three provinces with the Shangshu Order to assist the generals, commanded the troops and horses of the world, comforted the world, and conquered the unjust officials...
After Li Yuan finished writing, he dried the ink marks with satisfaction, and then took his own small seal and stamped it. Then he ordered the Changshi to take out the destiny talisman (there was no jade seal in the Tang Dynasty at this time) and used the seal.
Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji.
Pei Ji helplessly took out his small seal and the Tang Dynasty Sikong Seal.
However, as the red ink was covered with the imperial edict, Pei Ji's heart slowly sank.
...
In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Chen Ying looked at the twenty-four vassal kings, Dukes of the Tang Dynasty, and the Marquis of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State
At the same time, the Tang Dynasty Royal Commercial Alliance was officially established.
Li Jiancheng served as honorary president, and Chen Ying served as general manager of the Tang Dynasty Royal Commercial Alliance. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty Royal Commercial Alliance also discussed how to develop the Western Regions, how to divide the four million fertile land in the Western Regions, as well as countless forests, grasslands, and various minerals.
These things were not clear at the moment, but the kings gradually understood Li Jiancheng's intention. Li Jiancheng asked Chen Ying to divide the interests of the Western Regions and thus win over them. The royal family of Li Tang was actually very hard. Although they enjoyed a salary of tens of thousands of stones, if they were converted into money, even if the vassal kings enjoyed first-rate treatment, their annual salary was only about 82 jin, with a salary of about 650 jin, a job of 1,200 acres, and a 240 jin, if converted into RMB, it would be about 1.75 million.
However, even their honor guards and personal guards could not afford the salary paid by the court, not to mention the food, clothing and expenses of the family. Chen Ying outlined a grand blueprint for them. As long as the development of the Western Regions is completed, the annual income of these vassal kings will start at least 8,000 yuan, and even the second most will be 3,000 yuan.
This was a happy situation. Chen Ying asked them to sign the "Equity Subscription Agreement for the Western Region Development Corporation of the Tang Dynasty", the "Declaration on the Tang Dynasty Royal Commercial Alliance" and the "Silk Road Protection Agreement", the "Grain Price Protection Agreement", and the "Textile Price Protection Agreement". More than twenty agreements were made.
It was not until midnight that Li Jiancheng sent away all the vassal kings and royal family members and the marquises.
When only Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo, Xu Jingzong, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and others were left in Xiande Hall, Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to ask: "Chen Ying, what are you doing?"
"It's done!" Chen Ying picked out a "Steel Resource Development Agreement" from the agreement signed by everyone. Wei Zheng soon discovered that this agreement was thicker than other papers.
Chen Ying took out a small knife and gently lifted half of it, leaving only the other half of the joint signature part.
This is a plot that Chen Ying saw in later film and television dramas. Regardless of whether it is true or false, he decided to experiment. Sure enough, the Tang royal families who were blinded by huge interests did not realize the trick, so they all signed and stamped.
Looking at half of the blank text, Wei Zheng suddenly realized. He pointed at Chen Ying and said, "You are a conspiracy!"
"Whether it's conspiracy or open conspiracy, it's enough to be used!" Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly: "A wise man once said that a black cat and a white cat, a good cat that can catch a mouse."
Chen Ying took out a piece of paper from his underwear, slapped it heavily on the table, pointed at Xu Jingzong and said, "Xu Jingzong, come and copy it!"
Xu Jingzong only took a look and his face changed drastically.
I saw it read: "The nature was born to steam people, and to strait them to the king, and to go against the heaven and earth, the minister of the wise men. The sage emperor and the wise king understood this, and knew that the heaven and earth could not be lacking, so he bent his body to serve him. He knew that Li Yuan could not have no master, so he had to face it. It was difficult for the country to be..."
Wei Zheng's face also changed slightly and he murmured: "Please give me a letter..."
"You are so brave!" Li Jiancheng pointed at Chen Ying and shouted: "Where are you setting up this palace?"
Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "This matter is a letter from the vassal state, a vassal state, a vassal state, and a marquis of the country who sent a letter to the king. What does it have to do with His Royal Highness?"
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "You are cheating..."
"Wrong, Your Highness the Crown Prince is wrong!" Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "Chen Ying is just picking up the ancients' Yahui and imitating the old wisdom of Ruyin Hou!"
Li Jiancheng was also familiar with the classics. After Chen Ying explained this, he immediately understood that this was Chen Ying's plan to learn from Han Messenger's "siding around" and Han Xin was ambushing the King of Chu at Gaixia. When Chu King heard the songs of Chu from around him, he mistakenly thought that Liu Bang had already obtained Chu territory. Otherwise, there would be no such many people from Chu in the Han army, so he was discouraged. In fact, this was just a strategy.
Of course, it is similar to Chen Ying's method.
Li Yuan has now lost control of the military power over the Tai Chi Palace. His orders cannot be out of the Ganlu Palace, but Li Yuan will never be willing to fail. He will attempt to counterattack and wait for an opportunity to regain power. Even now Chen Ying cannot guess what trick Li Yuan is holding on.
Li Yuan always served as the leader of the Li clan. He was promoted from a low point to a prince and noble family. They were Li Yuan's confidence and strength. What's more, Li Xiaogong, Prince Zhao, Li Shentong, King Huai'an, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, were all generals who held military power.
However, when Li Yuan saw this joint letter of advice, he would definitely be discouraged and agreed to abdicate.
Li Jiancheng was still hesitating, but Chen Ying didn't give him time to react.
Chen Ying yawned and said, "It's getting late, I'll leave first!"
As he said that, Chen Ying left Xiande Hall and left Changyang.
Li Jiancheng looked at the convincing form copied by Xu Jingzong, picked it up and prepared to light it on the candle. Seeing this, Wei Ting was not willing to let Li Jiancheng succeed. He hurriedly rushed towards the candle, not afraid of the hot wax oil, so he directly put out the candle.
Li Jiancheng wanted to pounce on another candle. Wei Ting pulled out a horizontal knife, crossed it in front of his neck, and said aloud: "Your Highness, if you don't take office, I would rather die!"
Wang Gui also knelt on the ground and said, "If I cannot assist the Holy King and create a new and ancient tradition, what's the benefit of living?"
Wei Zheng took advantage of Li Jiancheng's hesitation and hurriedly regained the letter of persuasion from Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Xu Shimo, Xu Jingzong, Wei Ting and others, and smiled bitterly.
...
When it was slightly bright, Li Jiancheng was wearing a prince's uniform and stood outside the Ganlu Hall, catching the Ganlu Hall.
As time goes by, Li Jiancheng is very nervous.
Wei Zheng and Wei Ting stood behind Li Jiancheng, halfway down on his shoulder. Wei Zheng looked peaceful and calm.
Wei Ting walked up to Li Jiancheng, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make any sound.
Li Jiancheng finally took a deep breath, held the watch in one hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword with the other hand, and stepped into the Ganlu Hall with great strides.
Looking at Li Jiancheng's arrival, Li Yuan sat on the chariot with a casual look on his face.
Li Jiancheng bowed and said loudly: "My son is paying homage to my father!"
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with panic, and then he said in a panic: "Dalang, you shouldn't have come!"
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "But I'm here!"
Li Yuan stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "Shhh... Sigh down, there are Erlang's people around him, they are coming soon, you leave quickly, or you will die..."
There was a painful and entangled look in Li Jiancheng's eyes. Finally, Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Dad, I didn't want to force Dad, so I became the prince first, but now it seems that it's not possible! Fang Xuanling said that being an emperor can't do things that please you. Many things that your family can't make decisions are not false."
Li Yuan looked lonely and said, "Dalang, go quickly. I have given Sanniang a secret order. She will lead the army of women to rescue him soon. Sanniang will never let me down. She can conquer the first Chang'an and the second time!"
Li Jiancheng ignored it, Li Yuan's nagging and said directly: "The child has decided to ascend the throne and become emperor on January 16th. Whether his father can understand it or not, he must retreat to the Supreme Lord.
Li Yuan seemed to have lost his strength and lowered his head and said, "You..."
Li Jiancheng whispered: "Dad, Datang and the Li family need you to abdicate."
Li Yuan raised his head, his eyes confused.
Li Jiancheng took out his convincing form from his arms and placed it directly in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan took the message of persuasion. In front of the message of persuasion, there was nothing but a bunch of nonsense. Like the sacrifices to heaven, they were all gorgeous words, but empty.
Li Yuan's eyes fell on the joint signature behind him.
The first one was Li Shentong, the second one was Li Xiaogong, the second one was Li Xiaozong, the second one was Li Daozong, the next one was Li Yuan's vassal king, the Duke of the Kingdom and the founding marquis appointed by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's throat was slightly sweet, bad, which made the boy so angry that he vomited blood! His voice was loud and sharp: I am old, I can't do anything to my heart! Now, the world is about to change, I believe that I don't have the spirit to deal with this internal and external troubles... However, I have a few words here, if you want to say it in front, you will be with you whether you listen or not!"
Li Jiancheng said: "My son listens to the Hadith with pride!"
Li Yuan said in a nagging manner: "The emperor's throne may be unattainable in the eyes of others, but only those who climb up and sit on this throne understand that the cold wind is not the cold wind that can do whatever they want by becoming an emperor. Everyone in the world can do whatever they want, and those who are the king... But they must be alert and always follow etiquette and law, because the emperor is a role model for the people of the world, and his words and deeds must be passed down to future generations and imitated by descendants of all generations. From this point of view, the emperor sometimes is not as good as an ordinary person. Once an emperor becomes an emperor, he must have the preparation for prison for a lifetime. Don't blame the old father for not giving you a note in advance!"
Li Jiancheng said with a firm look on his face: "Don't worry, Father, you can open your eyes and watch it. I will definitely be a good emperor!"
...
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of January 16th.
Early in the morning, the attendants were busy changing into the emperor's crown and robe.
Fu Yi held a tablet in his hand and explained the celestial phenomena on the side: "On the first day of the lunar month, on the third day of the lunar month, Taibai passed through the sky twice, both of which appeared in the east. I think that the Eastern Palace should have the world!"
Li Jiancheng smiled disapprovingly and said, "Shi Ling, the memorial you gave to the deposed Qin King almost killed me."
Fu Yi said without changing his expression: "The King of Qin has indeed found a minister, but the ministers are not so analyzing the celestial phenomena because the King of Qin has a destiny, but because the celestial phenomena are indeed like this!"
Li Jiancheng was stunned and stared at Fu Yi and said, "You are talking nonsense!"
Fu Yi asked back: "Is the astronomy that the ministers analyzed is not accurate?"
Li Jiancheng was speechless and speechless.
Fu Yi said: "Your Majesty, the position of Taishi, has been inherited by the truth and words since Dong Hu surrendered. No matter whether it is the abolishment of the King of Qin or His Highness, it cannot control the celestial phenomena."
Li Jiancheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! OK! You Shi Ling, continue to do this."
The servants packed up.
Li Jiancheng looked at his appearance carefully in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and walked towards the hall with great strides.
Li Jiancheng came to the main hall of Xiande Hall. Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo, Xu Jingzong, Fang Xuanling and others had already stood up. Among the military generals, the leader was Li Yuanji, and the second was Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao. However, Li Jiancheng glanced around the crowd, but did not find Chen Ying.
Li Jiancheng was stunned and looked at Pei Ju and said, "Why didn't General Chen come?"
Pei Ju bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, General Chen has been on leave, and Princess Pingyang is about to give birth today!"
Wei Zheng whispered and reminded: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!"
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here!" The Central Assassin sang in a stern manner: "All officials worship!"
The ministers bowed and said politely: "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Li Jiancheng ascended the throne in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace on January 16, 2018, and changed the following year to Kaiyuan.
At the same time, it was announced that the crown princess of the Eastern Palace, Zheng Guanyin, was appointed as the queen.
The second son Li Chengdao was appointed as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace.
Chen Ying was appointed as the superior state, the General of the Cavalry, and the Secretary of the Shangshu, and the Prince Taibao.
