During the secret discussion in the Linde Hall, the emperor's increasingly haggard face was rejuvenated. He walked up and down excitedly with his hands behind his hands, and kept asking: "Can you count on the King of Yan? When the prince goes to Youzhou, I can
Survive, right?"
After receiving repeated affirmative answers, the emperor happily said: "What should I call King Yan? How should I write it in the secret edict?"
So several people counted with their fingers, starting from the lineage of King Xiang, to Li Huang, the ninth son of Suzong, and then pushed down, and finally calculated that Li Chengzhong was the emperor's great-uncle, so the emperor nodded repeatedly, with a happy face
He said: "I have an uncle! I have an uncle! Quickly, the lineage of King Xiang must be re-entered into the clan disc."
Then the emperor thought hard about who should be crowned prince.
Among the sons of the emperor, Li Yu, the king of Shude, is the eldest at sixteen. He is a famous "talented man" in the royal family. Both the inner and outer courts say that he is "in the prime of spring and Autumn and has a distinguished reputation." The so-called talent means that he is of the right age.
Good looks - In this era, being good looking is also one of the talents, and it is a very important talent.
The emperor originally belonged to King De, Li Yu, but Han Quanjie immediately opposed it for two reasons: King De, Li Yu, once overran the pseudo-emperor, which was a stain on his life.
The ministers and workers know him well, so it is not easy to take him out of the city quietly.
Han Quanjie's reasons were very good, so the emperor couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
Han Quanjie, Zhang Juhan and Zhang Maoan had discussed before they arrived that in order to cover up others' deception, they had to take the younger prince out of the city, otherwise Fengxiang's army would not let him go, so they recommended the eleventh prince.
The eleventh prince was named Zhen. He was born in the fourth year of Qianning. Why was the queen's legitimate daughter born at the age of seven? He was considered a dignified appearance among the princes. The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, opened the palace door, and let Zhaoyi, who was waiting at the door,
Li Jianrong went to the back house to summon people.
After a while, Queen He brought Prince Li Zhen to see the emperor. The emperor described the cause and effect, and finally said: "This is a major matter for the survival of my family's bloodline. The queen must not make it public. Just collect a few common clothes."
Queen He's eyes dropped as if they were offline before she finished listening. She hugged Prince Li Zhen and kissed him repeatedly. After waiting for a moment, the emperor said impatiently: "This is a good thing, why are you crying? Go and come back quickly.
Remember, don’t leak the news!”
Queen He also knew that this was the only solution at the moment. She wiped her tears, suppressed her sorrow and went out to get her clothes.
Prince Li Zhen wanted to leave with Queen He, but the emperor stopped him. He stood there in fear, rubbing his sleeves.
The emperor looked at Li Zhen, with a caressing expression gradually appearing on his face. He said warmly: "Eleventh Master, can you eat soup cakes today?"
Li Zhen raised his head and whispered: "Come back to me, sir, let's eat."
"How much have you eaten? Are you full?"
"After eating a bowl, I'm still hungry..."
The emperor asked Zhang Maoan to go to the dining room to get some noodles and gave them to Li Zhen to eat. Li Zhen took them and ate a few mouthfuls, then hid the noodles in his arms and stopped eating them. Then he licked them
Licking the crumbs from your fingers.
"Why don't you eat?"
"Your Majesty and Ninth Brother didn't eat today. They gave all the soup cakes to the brothers. I plan to take them back to my Majesty and Ninth Brother to eat." Li Zhen timidly raised his head and replied. Then he quickly lowered his head.
The emperor felt sour in his heart and said: "Eleventh Lang is very sensible, and my father is very happy. Eat quickly, these are all for you, the empress and brother nine still have to eat, don't worry."
After hearing this, Li Zhen hesitated and took a piece of cake from his arms, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He was reluctant to eat the rest, so he kept it in his arms.
The emperor said again: "Eleventh Master, can I take you to Youzhou?"
Li Zhen shrank his neck and asked curiously: "Where is Youzhou? What are you doing in Youzhou?"
The emperor said: "Youzhou is in the north, and there are many delicious foods. After the eleventh son goes to Youzhou, he can eat enough, and there will also be minced meat."
Li Zhen's little eyes immediately glowed brightly, and he cheered: "Okay, okay, Eleventh Lang goes to Youzhou and brings back delicious food!"
The words of the Emperor and Li Zhen made Zhang Juhan inexplicably sad. Even though Han Quanjie and Zhang Maoan had seen each other many times, they couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
After a while, Queen He came in carrying a yellow brocade parcel. She didn't care to talk to the emperor, and pulled Li Zhen to look left and right, with a look of reluctance on her face. However, she saw Zhaoyi and Li Jianrong barging in, also carrying a parcel.
There was a package, and behind it was a four- or five-year-old girl, but it was Li Qi, the princess born to Li Jianrong.
Li Jianrong knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please let Thirteenth Sister go with you. Please, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let her go..." He begged and cried loudly.
Empress He stepped forward and pulled up Li Jianrong, then touched the little head of the girl Li Fu, and said to the emperor: "Seventh Lang, please let the Thirteenth Sister come with you, so that you can be a companion for the Eleventh Lang."
The emperor agreed, so he immediately wrote two edicts, naming the eleventh prince Li Zhen as Prince Duan, and the thirteenth prince Li Fu as Princess Tang Xing. The third edict was to ask the prince and grant him the power to supervise the country.
It was not enough to issue a decree in the form of a decree. The emperor pondered for a moment and ordered Zhang Mao'an to send Han Wo, a Hanlin scholar, to see him.
Wei Yifan was already dead at this time, and the other ministers in the political affairs hall were all people appointed by King Qi Li Maozhen. There was no one in the political affairs hall that the emperor and Han Quanhui could trust. In fact, even Wei Yifan himself was Li Maozhen's person.
, I always only listen to Li Maozhen’s instructions.
Han Wo, a Hanlin scholar, had always coveted the position of prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall. Wei Yifan wanted to get this position after his death. However, he wanted to be prime minister but was unwilling to express his position easily. He neither supported Li Maozhen nor surrendered to Han Quanjie, nor did he speak of Zhu Quanzhong.
He seemed to be a loyal person, but in fact he was a fence-sitter. The emperor also disliked him, so he never entered the political hall.
Han Wo hurried to the Linde Hall, and as soon as he entered the door, the emperor threw him two edicts. One was the emperor's edict, adding Han Wo as the Zhongshu Ling, and the other was the imperial edict, establishing King Duan Li Zhen as the prince. Two copies.
The imperial edict does not contain any inscription from the inner court, nor does it contain the emperor's seal.
Han Wo looked at the emperor, Han Quanjie and Zhang Juhan - he didn't know Zhang Juhan, but he didn't care who Zhang Juhan was at this moment. Then he saw Queen He, Li Zhaoyi, and the two princes and princesses sitting on the side.
Finally he saw Zhang Maoan holding the seal beside the emperor.
Spreading the two edicts on the ground, Han Wo thought for a while and immediately understood the emperor's intention, so he quickly picked up his pen and filled in the blank space after "Zhongshu Lingchen:" on the edict of the crown prince.
name.
Zhang Maoan stepped forward to pick up the two edicts, copied them on the emperor's desk, and then used the seal. Han Quanhui stepped forward to attach the inscription. He also added Han Wo to the copied copy as the edict of Zhongshu Ling.
Handed it to him. Without saying a word, Han Wo bowed to the emperor three times and left.
Later, the same story happened again. Cui Gou, the imperial censor, changed two positions on the same day. The official position was first changed to Shi Zhong, and then he wrote the blank after "To Shi Zhongchen:" in the edict of establishing the prince of the state.
After filling in the name, he was immediately transferred to the censor Zhongcheng and Tongping Zhangshi.
Over the years, the emperor has been "forced" to play the same trick countless times. Only this time he felt very interested. Han Quanhui and Zhang Maoan had long been used to it. Only Zhang Juhan had been away from the center for nearly twenty years and stayed aside.
I felt like I was sweating coldly.
Soon after, Queen He and Li Zhaoyi coaxed Prince Li Yu and Princess Tang Xing to hide in a large bamboo box respectively. They covered it with several pieces of silk and satin, sprinkled with a few ingots of gold and silver, and then moved out several similar bamboo boxes and placed them inside.
The food collected was also covered with silk, gold and silver.
Han Quanjie and Zhang Maoan summoned more than a dozen confidants Xiao Huangmen who were already waiting outside. They loaded all the bamboo boxes onto the cart and selected a few of the emperor's remaining dozen royal horses.
Those who are able to run will meet up with the Operations Division personnel of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics brought by Zhang Maoan from Youzhou, and go straight out of the business without returning home.
Although Han Quanjie has not been able to enjoy himself these days, not only the Fengxiang Army is very hostile to him, but he can't even control the Shence Army. But at least he has the emperor's decree, and he has been accumulating power for a long time, so he yelled a few words
, the sergeant guarding the city gate reluctantly opened the city gate.
Not long after Han Quanhui left, Fengxiang Army General Guo Qiqi led his team to Fengxiang City. He met Han Quanhui's leaving convoy on the way, but because of the distance, he couldn't see clearly and didn't know what happened.
Therefore, he did not step forward to stop him.
When the city guard sergeant opened the city gate and welcomed Guo Qiqi, Guo Qiqi asked casually: "Who just left the city?"
The officer guarding the city replied that it was Lieutenant Han Quanhui.
Guo Qiqi asked the guarding officer in confusion: "Why did Han Quanjie leave the city?"
The officer guarding the city replied: "Lieutenant Han was ordered by the Emperor to go to the Bian military camp to negotiate peace. His humble position had to open the door and let him go."
Guo Qiqi asked again: "What is Lieutenant Han carrying on the motorcade?"
The officer guarding the city replied: "It's a Zhengdan gift from the emperor to the Bian army. It's just some silk and satin, and some scattered gold and silver." Seeing that Guo Qiqi was very interested in Han Quanhui's departure from the city, the guard
The city officer added: "Please rest assured, General Guo Ya. I will report to General Guo Ya immediately after Lieutenant Han returns."
Guo Qiqi smiled, looked at the direction in which Han Quanhui's motorcade was leaving, and said softly: "He can't come back."
Guo Qiqi was ordered by King Qi to go to the Bianjun camp to negotiate peace. After returning, he did not delay and went straight to the palace of King Qi to meet King Qi Li Maozhen.
King Li Maozhen of Qi lived a miserable life these days. When his power was at its peak, he ruled Guan Nei and dozens of prefectures in Shannan. He ruled millions of people, 50,000 armored sergeants, and no less than 100,000 light soldiers! Because he was close to the capital,
He was the most influential vassal town on the government. He led troops to Beijing at every turn and had developed a habit of "discussing state affairs" with the emperor.
Unfortunately, since joining forces with Han Quanjie to capture the Emperor in Fengxiang, Li Maozhen's situation has been deteriorating. The Fengxiang Army, which his subordinates once expected to be elite, turned out to be no match for the Xuanwu Army and was beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
I have been trapped in a lonely city for a year, and now I don’t even have enough to eat.
He was anxiously waiting for news in Prince Qi's mansion. As soon as he heard that Guo Qiqi, the tooth general, wanted to see him, he didn't care about anything. In the cold weather, he didn't even wear fur boots and rushed to the door barefoot, dragging Guo Qiqi with him. His arms kept shaking: "How? Bian Jun agrees?"
