There were endless people coming to the Taishi Mansion.

Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou, Li Jing and other prime ministers were all here, and the company chief Sun Wuji and Gao Shilian also came to pay their respects on this day.

dusk.

Zhang Chao entertained Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang, Pingyang and others for tea.

"I just talked to Your Majesty about constitutionalism. Your Majesty's attitude seems to be unwilling to compromise. I have already told Your Majesty that if Your Majesty refuses, you can only ask Your Majesty to abdicate in the end."

Su Lie's eyes shone with brilliance.

Ma Zhou was a little worried, "Let Your Majesty abdicate?"

Who is he who will succeed to the throne?

Even Pingyang was staring at Zhang Chao.

"If Your Majesty cannot accept the constitutional constitution, then you can only ask Your Majesty to abdicate and then the crown prince will succeed you."

Su Lie was a little disappointed.

Xu Jingzong said more directly, "The prince was only two years old, and Your Majesty is only in his early twenties. It has only been two years since the extreme. It is not appropriate to let Your Majesty pass on the position of the prince at this time. I think that those who are virtuous in the world are worse than those who live in it."

Zhang Chao's eyes stopped him from talking.

Everyone knows what Xu Jingzong means, this is worse than the latter. Instead of letting the young emperor pass the throne to the two princes, it is better to let him abdicate to Zhang Chao.

But Zhang Chao was not willing. It was not that he didn't want to be the emperor, but that he felt that the time had not come. The forced melon would not be sweet. The time was not ripe and there would be no good results in reliance on Tang Dynasty.

Chu Suiliang felt that Xu Jingzong's words were not bad.

He carefully said, "Forcing Your Majesty to abdicate will not be so easy. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult to maintain peace in the future. What if the crown prince wants to take power after he grows up? Will he force Your Majesty to abdicate again? You can't be forced to abdicate every emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

This kind of thing is not impossible.

Any emperor with some ability would probably not accept such constitutionalism. Although the model of constitutionalism is good for the princes and court officials, the emperor would never be willing to do so. They would always think that the king's power was granted divinely, and power belonged to them innately.

"I think what Mr. Xu said makes sense. How many people in the world can be like Wen Yuan who can not be greedy for power and see things so thoroughly? If Wen Yuan accepts the abdication, he will definitely be able to make laws and regulations with the princes. With you as an example, even if the new king succeeds to the throne in decades, he will have traditions and be able to accept constitutionalism."

Xu Jingzong nodded, "Yes, now we are suppressing the emperor, what if we do? Will we make trouble once every ten or twenty years? It's better to do it once and for all!"

Ma Zhou did not make any statement.

Seeing someone supporting the abdication, Su Lie immediately said, "Teacher, Xu Xueshi is right. People with virtue in the world live in this world. If Chengqian is willing to be constitutional, we will certainly support him. But since he has expressed his firm resolute refusal, we can only let him abdicate. But after he abdicates, he cannot pass the throne to the crown prince, otherwise, twenty years later, I am afraid that he will come again."

"The emperor abdicated and passed the throne to the prince. It is natural. How many people will agree to abdicate to me? This must be another turmoil!" Zhang Chao sighed.

"It is better to have a short pain than long pain. Instead of worrying all day long and worrying about the repetition of the royal family, it is better to be over now. We all believe that if the teacher ascends the throne, he will definitely be able to make a constitution. If the teacher is still worried about other princes and ministers, then this matter is simple. The teacher first makes a law and vow with the princes and ministers, promises to establish a constitution after succession, implement constitutionalism, promises to protect the power of the princes and nobles and ministers, and ensure that the current situation remains unchanged, who will refuse?"

"Yes, as long as Wen Yuan's prestige and reputation are established, they will definitely get everyone's support. After ascending the throne and establishing a constitution, the world will be stable. Perhaps such as Changsun and others may be blocked, but as long as we take action first, we will be able to control the overall situation."

A group of prime ministers, scholars, and generals talked about usurping the throne and changing the dynasty, but it was as common as ever.

The Tang Dynasty has been established for 22 years.

There were three emperors, but the first two were abdicated by mutiny. Now everyone can't tolerate this emperor.

There is really nothing that makes them awe at the emperor's authority.

Su Lie even said bluntly, "If you want to do something, be careful of the emperor's desperate efforts. I want me to say that now we will mobilize troops to block the capital, close the capital, control all Changsun and others, and then let the emperor abdicate so that there will be more dreams."

Since Zhang Chao has made it clear to the emperor, it is difficult to ensure that the emperor has to do anything desperately.

Qin Qiong finally spoke.

"If Wen Yuan is willing to take on this important task, then I am willing to contribute."

Princess Pingyang also said, "The husband and wife follow you, no matter what Saburo does, I support you."

The Marshal of the Northern Ya and the Minister of War both expressed their opinions.

Su Lie and Xu Jingzong both looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing is so old that he can't expect such a thing to happen when he is old.

He pondered for a while.

"I support Wen Yuan, too."

Su Lie's face showed joy.

The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Northern Yamen have expressed their support, which means that they can get the soldiers who issued the orders and issued military talismans. They can use the transfer orders of the Privy Council, the military talismans of the Ministry of War, and the orders of the Northern Yamen to mobilize the soldiers of the Northern Yamen.

Guo Xiaoke, the chief general of the Central Army, also made a statement without hesitation, "I firmly support the Grand Tutor."

Several of the most important military leaders in Hanjing all expressed their opinions, including Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenben in the cabinet, Xu Jingzong of the Hanlin Academy, etc., who also expressed their support.

"Director Ma, what do you mean?" Xu Jingzong asked Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was in a bit complicated.

His relationship with Zhang Chao was extraordinary, but in his heart, he was actually not willing to watch Zhang Chao usurp the throne. In his heart, there was still a hurdle of loyalty to the emperor.

What's more, Chengqian is also his student and son-in-law. He always believed that Chengqian was actually a good emperor. However, everyone was worried that Chengqian would threaten the current political situation like the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin.

He supported Zhang Chao's constitutionalism, but now Zhang Chao said that Chengqian refused to compromise and might eventually make Chengqian abdicate. Xu Jingzong and others instigated Zhang Chao to replace the Tang Dynasty, and even these generals in the military supported it. This matter was indeed out of control.

"If the emperor abdicates, how will Wenyuan plan to settle him?"

Zhang Chao said, "Tomorrow, let Your Majesty hold another meeting between the two houses. If Your Majesty is willing to make a law and establish a constitution, I will still firmly safeguard the Tang Dynasty."

Su Lie said with some annoyance, "Teacher, when is it? Is this time the time to give in?"

Pingyang said, "If the emperor abdicates, then after abdicating, the court can imitate the Supreme Emperor and grant him a fiefdom in the United States and Australia. The other clans can do the same." Pingyang was a royal family member after all, and at this time, he still fought for the royal family.

Ma Zhou looked at Xu Jingzong, Su Lie, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenben and others, and then looked at Li Jing, Pingyang and others. Finally, he sighed in his heart, the situation is like this.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think? You should take an attitude now. If you are willing to maintain the status quo, then express your attitude. If you are willing to replace the Tang Dynasty, then make up your mind. At this time, there is no need to be indecisive anymore!"

Zhang Chao looked at everyone, here was the backbone of the new party, but only a few people.

"Do you have a unified opinion?"

Su Lie said first, "I firmly support my teacher to become independent on behalf of Tang."

Xu Jingzong also raised his hand, "I also firmly support it!"

Qin Qiong nodded, "I support me!"

"support!"

"support!"

Ma Zhou also nodded, "I am willing to support Wen Yuan!"

Since Zhang Chao is willing to make a law and establish a constitution, the world is just a change of emperor and a country name, and the rest will not change. If this can bring stability and avoid greater division and chaos, Ma Zhou is also willing to support Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao tapped the table with his fingers. At this time, things had developed to this point, which was actually beyond his expectations.

This time he came back, he really didn't think about replacing Tang.

Ke Chengqian's attitude made him a little helpless. The emperor was determined to refuse constitutionalism and was unwilling to delegate power, which was sooner or later a hidden danger.

And the people who supported him to serve the Tang Dynasty were even more surprising.

"This matter should be discussed with other people. I would like to ask about the attitudes and opinions of Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others."

Ma Zhou shook his head.

"Do you want to hold a meeting of two houses and a vote? Since you have decided, don't hesitate to control the situation first and then discuss it. I think it's not too late, so I'll ask several marshals to start the transfer of troops now."

Li Jing agreed.

"You must be wary of the Emperor and Changsun Wuji, it is best to do it now."

"Wen Yuan, if you stop, you will suffer from chaos!"

"Yes, at this time, don't hesitate."

Zhang Chao breathed a long sigh. The times created heroes. Now it was not that he wanted to usurp the throne, but that everyone would rather him replace Chengqian and Li Tang.

"Okay, let's dispatch troops now."

Since you want to take action, you have to be steady, accurate and ruthless.

"I'll go to the cabinet immediately. Li Shuai returns to the Privy Council. Pingyang, you go to the Ministry of War. The adoptive father returns to the Northern Yamen. Su Lie, you go to contact Li Junxian and Wu Heita and others out of the city to dispatch the guards. Lao Ma, you go to the Hanlin Academy to take charge. Lao Chu and Lao Cen go to contact Wei Chonghe and the Censorate of the Parliament, Hanjing Mansion and other yamen."

"At this time, I'm afraid it's unsafe to go to the cabinet. Wen Yuan, please stay in the Grand Tutor's Mansion and wait until the situation is controlled."

"The cabinet is the primary place in the center and must be watched."

At this moment, everyone left according to the plan.

Zhang Chao also called Ke Qing and asked him to mobilize the shadows in Beijing immediately and organize the family members in the mansion.

Royal Palace.

After Chengqian returned from Zhang Chao's mansion, he looked angry.

This is already the sight of the picture, and Zhang Chao openly said that he would abdicate.

Finally got to this point.

"Wang Cheng'en."

"I'm here!"

"Immediately send someone to summon my eight hundred palace guards to come over and let them guard the Ganlu Palace. Also, immediately go and summon Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Yuwen Shiji, Yang Gongren and others to the palace."

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Zhang Chao wants to force me to abdicate!" Cheng Qian said word by word.
