Chapter 8 The Shangyuan Coup (Part 2)

Late at night, when news of the emperor being assassinated in the palace came out, all the important officials of the court rushed to the palace. At this time, the palace and Xingqing Prefecture had completely fallen into the hands of the prime minister Mozang Epang. All those who opposed Mozang Epang were killed. Mozang Epang was in power for a while.

In Li Yuanhao's bedroom, Li Yuanhao only breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial physician held Li Yuanhao's breath with ginseng, waiting for the ministers in the court to arrive and announce the will. Under the arrangement of Mozang Epang, all the ministers came to Li Yuanhao's dragon couch.

Li Yuanhao looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground and said, "I know that the deadline is coming, and my life is extremely glorious. The reason why I cannot close my eyes is because I cannot let go of the century-old foundation of my Daxia Kingdom; My Daxia Kingdom has the Liao Kingdom in the north and the Song Dynasty in the south. The national strength of these two countries has increased several times that of our Daxia Kingdom. If we want to prevent the two countries from invading, we can only choose a wise monarch. Now that the prince is treacherous, the son is still less than one year old, and he cannot inherit the throne;

Therefore, I decided to pass the throne to my younger brother, Gengning, and the Prime Minister immediately sent someone to Xiping Prefecture to announce the imperial edict. The beloved ministers must work together to assist the new emperor in the future."

"I will obey Your Majesty's order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." The ministers cried and took the imperial edict.

That night, Li Yuanhao died of excessive blood loss. After Li Yuanhao died, Wu Zang Epang did not immediately send people to Xiping Prefecture to summon the tutor Gong Ning Ling back to the court, but took the opportunity to seize the power of the troops and horses in several cities around Xingqing Prefecture.

The next day, at the court meeting, Mozang Epang summoned all civil and military officials to Li Yuanhao's will. Mozang Epang had no intention of following Li Yuanhao's will from the beginning, so the content of this court meeting was also to attach Li Liangzuo to the throne.

"My dear lords, now that Your Majesty is new, the country cannot be without a king for a day. According to the original intention, a new king should be established as soon as possible. Only in this way can we appease the hearts of the people in the world." Wu Zang Epang Dao said hypocritically.

The minister no reward immediately opposed it and said, "The Prime Minister's words are different. Your Majesty's last order will pass on the throne to the Viego Ning Order. We should follow Your Majesty's order to welcome the Viego Ning Order to inherit the throne."

Mozang Epang said to the ministers: "Viego Ning Ling is not the son of His Majesty, and he has no achievements. Why should he inherit the throne?"

After hearing this, Nuoyishang immediately asked: "Now there is no master in the country, who do you plan to support? Or do you want to seek power and usurp the throne? Even if you can protect the territory of Xixia, can you still make the people of the world surrender?"

When Mozang Epang heard that No Reward had been detained by him as a charge of usurping the throne, he quickly defended himself: "How dare I do this! But since Taizu, my dynasty has always been the father who died and the son who had never been the brothers who had been the elder brothers. It is precisely this way that the people of our Daxia Kingdom can surrender. Now the imperial concubine Wuzang gave birth to a prince Liangzuo, and she is the legitimate heir of the late emperor. The original prime minister has established the legitimate son of the late emperor. Who do you disobey?"

After hearing the words of Mozang Epang, the ministers immediately whispered: "The Prime Minister is right!"

"The Prime Minister is right! Although the prince is young, he is always the bloodline of the late emperor!"

"That's right, since the prince should naturally make the prince the emperor."

...

"I wonder what you think of the true proposal?" Mozang Epang asked the ministers again.

"We have no objection, and we are willing to welcome the prince as the emperor." The ministers said in unison.

Mozang Epang smiled and said to the ministers: "Since that's the case, all the lords will follow the original minister to go to the harem to welcome the new emperor!"

Surrounded by his ministers, Li Liangzuo, who was only eleven months old, ascended the throne in the arms of Empress Dowager Wuzang. Wuzang Heiyun was respected as Empress Dowager Xuanmu Huiwen. Because Li Liangzuo was young, he was appointed as the regent of the Empress Dowager.

Wei Zang Heiyun then ordered the appointment of Wu Zang Epang to continue as the prime minister, and he would like to redeem the generals of the Right Chamber to take charge of military and political power. Although Li Liangzuo inherited the throne, since Xixia still surrendered to the Liao and Song dynasties at this time, the new king had to be enthroned by the Liao and Song dynasties ascended the throne.

In the Western Xia Palace, the Imperial Palace of Heiyun was in the bedroom. After the court meeting dispersed, Heiyun put Li Liangzuo on the bed and said to Mozang Epang: "Brother, although Zuo'er has ascended the throne to the emperor now, there must be people who are dissatisfied with the generals of the border and some ministers in the court. We should stabilize the court as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very detrimental to us!"

"Please rest assured to the Queen Mother, I will do my best to be loyal to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." Mozang Epang immediately knelt down and said.

Under the instruction of Empress Dowager Wuzang, Wuzang Epang began to rectify the entire court. In just one month, Wuzang Epang completely took the entire court into his own hands, and the Wuzang family thus became the most powerful family in the Western Xia.

Under such circumstances, Nuoyi Sheng returned to the Shun Army Office of the Right Chamber in the name of guarding the border. Although Mozang Epang had great power in the court, there were still many generals in the border areas of Xixia who did not obey the court's orders, and Xixia was in danger of division.

In the palace of the Xiping Prefecture, after leaving Xingqing Prefecture, Nuoyisheng did not go north and return to the right wing to the Shun Army Division, but went south to Xiping Prefecture to pay homage to Wei Gening. Wei Gening was the heir to the throne appointed by Li Yuanhao. At this time, Nuoyishengsheng came to see him very clearly, that is, to support Wei Gening as the emperor.

"I am paying homage to the king." After seeing Victor Ning Ling, I immediately saluted.

Vergiling Ling quickly helped the No-move reward and said, "God General, please come up quickly, how dare I be the general?"

"The king is the crown prince appointed by the late emperor. How can he not be given the grand gift of the last general?" Noyisheng said bluntly.

"The general is wrong! Now the new emperor has appointed a general and must not be joking." Vergung Ning Ling said to Nuoyisheng with a smile.

No Yisheng immediately spoke, "King, I will come here this time for the sake of the country of our Daxia Kingdom. Although the new emperor has been established, everyone knows that the little emperor has just turned one year old, and now the power of the court has fallen into the hands of Mozang Epang; Mozang Epang is a wolf-like man who is a wolf-like man who is a wolf-like man who is full of wings will surely kill the throne!"

Wei Ge Ning Ling smiled and said, "The General is so serious. Although Your Majesty is young now, he may be a hero of a generation like the late emperor in the future. As long as we and other ministers assist us, we will definitely be able to strengthen our Daxia Kingdom in the future."

No Yi Yi Gong still said unwillingly: "As long as the king agrees to inherit the throne, I will definitely support you with all my might. With the Shun Army of the Right Chamber and the Xiangqing Army in the hands of the king, there are more than 100,000 people, it is more than enough to take down Xingqing Prefecture."

When Wei Ge Ning Ling heard this, he said angrily: "Don't the general understand what I meant at this time? Have you ever thought that once a civil strife occurs in our Daxia Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty in the north will definitely launch troops to invade the boundary. This is a critical survival and death. Is the general willing to let me bear this eternal infamy?"

When Nuoyishang heard what Wei Ge Ning Ling said, he hurriedly said: "King Gao Yi, you are so confused, but you are just watching the court fall into the hands of a traitor?"

"The general doesn't have to worry. Although Wu Zang Epang has control over the government affairs, as long as we lead the troops outside, he will not dare to do anything to us?" Victor Ning Ling said with a smile.
