"The emperor is dead!"

With the terrible screams of the personal eunuch, Li Hong, the emperor of Guangzhi of the Tang Dynasty, died.

For a while, there were weepings in the palace.

Whether it's true or fake, everyone is crying.

The news of His Majesty's death soon spread out of the palace, throughout Chang'an, throughout the Tang Dynasty, and throughout the Great Wilderness.

In addition to the sadness felt by the people of Datang, the feelings of the people in other countries are different.

There are those who have nothing to do with themselves, there are those who are burning with gossip, and there are those who are ready to fight.

The smoke clouds of war have shrouded the sky over the Great Wilderness, and it only takes a little spark to form a prairie fire.

The emperor died, and the funeral specifications were naturally good, and the queen Weiwan was too sad to handle the funeral, so the noble concubine took over the matter.

The eldest prince also frequently showed his face in front of the ministers, and that kind of aura was the next emperor.

But Li Hong's edict has never been announced, so it is still a mystery to whom the previous emperor passed the throne to.

Half a month later, Li Hong's funeral finally came to an end.

The eldest prince Li Tong has also been in power for half a month, and now he only needs an edict to officially become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Many ministers felt that it was a sure thing for Li Tong to become the next emperor, because there was no prince more suitable than him. Although the sixth prince Li Xuan is deeply loved by the emperor, after all, he is young, and the noble concubine is from Guanzhong County, but the queen Weiwan does not have any background, for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for Li Hong to pass the throne to Li Xuan, so doing so is tantamount to forcing those people in Guanzhong County to rebel!

However, this is only the speculation of the ministers, and everything is possible until the edict is announced.

On this day, the noble concubine changed into a coarse linen dress and quietly left the palace under the cover of eunuchs and palace maids.

Her destination is in the North Tower.

Entering through the side door of the Wangbei Building, the noble concubine was led to a remote hut.

After about half a cup of tea, a man in a cloak came to the hut, and when he saw the noble concubine, he took off his hood to reveal his true face.

National teacher Yin Yang.

Half a month has not been seen, and Yin Yang has aged a lot.

Concubine Gao bowed to Yin Yang, "I've seen the national teacher." ”

It stands to reason that with the status of a noble concubine, there is no need to salute Yin Yang at all, but the edict is in Yin Yang's hands, and the noble concubine will naturally not be too arrogant, so she will give a salute first.

Yin Yang smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to be polite. ”

"National teacher, when are you going to make your majesty's edict public?" ”

Yin Yang said: "The concubine is in a hurry?"

"The whole Datang is in a hurry. Gao Guifei said.

Yin Yang said: "Then if the content of the edict is not what the concubine thinks, what will the concubine do?"

In fact, this is already obvious.

Concubine Gao's face changed suddenly, and then she gritted her teeth and whispered, "He really prefers that vixen." ”

Yin Yang did not speak.

After being silent for a moment, Concubine Gao suddenly knelt in front of Yin Yang.

Yin Yang hurriedly said: "What does this mean by the concubine? Hurry up, the old minister can't bear such a big gift from the concubine." ”

Although he said this, Yin Yang did not take any action, and calmly accepted the noble concubine's bowing ceremony.

"I implore the national teacher to think more about Datang, once the content of the edict is announced, Datang will inevitably be in chaos. The first emperor certainly did not want to see the Tang Dynasty fall into civil strife, let alone see several princes kill each other in order to compete for the throne! Not to mention that now the other six countries are eyeing each other, and the Daomen and the Buddhist Sect are also gearing up to attack our Datang, if there is civil strife at this time, the Datang will die. Gao Guifei said.

Yin Yang said: "The concubine is so sure that once the edict is announced, the Tang Dynasty will have internal fighting? Or has the concubine already made a decision, once the eldest prince cannot become a great treasure, she will lead Guanzhong County to oppose the Tang Dynasty?"

These words are directly heart-wrenching!

After being broken out of her mind, Concubine Gao was a little embarrassed, but she quickly calmed down, she slowly stood up, and said: "Tong'er is far stronger than that vixen's son in terms of talent and ambition. What's more, that fox spirit is still a member of the Demon Sect, when His Majesty was alive, no one was allowed to mention this secret, and now that His Majesty has died, if Tong'er can't inherit the throne, the concubine can only reluctantly tell this secret. ”

Yin Yang said: "If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will strike first and kill you?"

Concubine Gao smiled: "The national teacher will not." ”

"Oh? Yin Yang said.

"The national teacher has always been concerned about the temple. Concubine Gao said: "Li Xuan's teacher is the master of the academy, if he becomes the emperor, the status of the academy is still unbreakable. If my son becomes the emperor, then the temple can officially become the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, which is also the long-cherished wish of the national teacher for many years. ”

Yin Yang lowered his head and smiled: "I am friends of life and death with the first emperor, and he handed over the edict to me because he trusted me and knew that I would make the most suitable decision for Datang." ”

Hearing Yin Yang say this, Concubine Gao suddenly panicked.

She originally thought that Yin Yang would support her son for the sake of the temple, but now it sounds like that's not the case at all.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

"The most suitable decision for Datang is to make Tong'er the emperor. Concubine Gao tore off the last disguise and said: "Tong'er is the emperor, Guanzhong County and Jiangnan Shizi will have no opinion, and the other six countries will also get along with the Tang Dynasty peacefully." ”

Yin Yang raised his head, and with a flick of his wrist, the edict appeared in front of the noble concubine, and then slowly unfolded.

After reading the entire edict, Concubine Gao's hands and feet suddenly became cold.

"Li Hong, you bastard. Tong'er is also your own son, why can't he get your trust. In order to prevent me, you also transferred Guo Zhenying away and handed over the Xuanjia Army to Niu Ben. Okay, if you're not afraid of me, then the concubine will show you! What my son can't get, others can't think of it. The noble concubine screamed, her eyes blood-red.

Yin Yang said lightly: "There is no need for the concubine to be excited, the matter is not without room for recovery." ”

Concubine Gao's tears stopped instantly, and were replaced by anticipation: "How to redeem it?"

Yin Yang did not speak, but acted directly.

The noble concubine watched the five words of the sixth prince Li Xuan on the edict become the eldest prince Li Tong!

Immediately afterwards, Guo Zhenying and Niu Ben's names were replaced.

Guo Zhenying went to the north, while Niu Ben got the tiger talisman of the Xuanjia Army.

Because Guo Zhenying is the queen's person, and Niu Ben is an unswerving royalist, as long as it is the emperor's order, then Niu Ben will unswervingly carry it out.

The purpose of transferring Guo Zhenying and leaving Niu Ben behind was to prevent Guo Zhenying from making trouble directly with the Xuanjia Army after the revised edict was announced.

That was the most powerful army in the Tang Dynasty.

After changing the edict, Yin Yang said: "Before the edict is announced, I have to trouble the noble concubine to tell Niu Ben and let him take the Xuanjia army to guard outside the academy. This task can only be handed over to the Xuanjia Army, and other armies are not up to the task. ”

When it comes to the academy, the noble concubine is still a little apprehensive, although the master is gone, but Mr. Big and Mr. II are also the top powerhouses in the world, if they oppose this edict, Li Tong still can't be the emperor.

"Okay, I'll let Niu Ben stay at the gate of the academy. The noble concubine nodded.

Yin Yang said: "The status of the concubine is special, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time, please go back." ”

"The great grace of the national teacher, the concubines and Tong'er will not dare to forget. "The noble concubine saluted again, this time it was sincere.

After sending off the noble concubine, Yin Yang's state became even worse, as if he was ten years old again, and his back was stiff.

He slowly walked out of the hut and walked towards the top floor of the North Tower.

Yin Yang walked for a long, long time, and every step was very difficult, so that when he reached the last floor, Yin Yang was so tired that he couldn't stand and sat down on the floor.

After resting for a long time, Yin Yang grabbed the railing and got up slowly, and then looked at the location of the Garan Temple.

"Teacher ......"

A voice broke the silence at the top.

Yin Yang turned around slowly, and his old appearance startled his apprentice Zhu Haoyun: "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"Change the edict. Yin Yang's voice also became extremely old, and every word seemed to exhaust his strength: "Something against the sky naturally has to pay a price." ”

However, Zhu Haoyun was very calm, as if it was not a big deal to change the edict.

"Huh. Yin Yang smiled: "You don't seem surprised." ”

Zhu Haoyun walked over and hugged his teacher: "Because the teacher did the right thing." ”

"Did you do it right?" Yin Yang said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is the first time that the edict has been changed, and this kind of thing must not be hidden, and I may be scolded by future generations and become a sinner of the Tang Dynasty through the ages." ”

Zhu Haoyun said: "The teacher may also become the benefactor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Yin Yang looked at him: "It seems that you know more than I imagined." ”

Zhu Haoyun stopped talking.

Yin Yang said to himself: "That's right, I really want the light of the goddess to shine on the entire Great Wilderness, the entire Tang Dynasty, and I also want the temple to become the state religion of the Tang Dynasty." But I hope that Datang can be immortal for thousands of years. Wei Wan is a member of the Demon Sect, how can her son be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty is dizzy, I can't be dizzy. And the reason why His Majesty died was because of that woman. If I didn't kill her, I was already very worthy of Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Haoyun said: "Teacher, you did the right thing. ”

Yin Yang looked at him: "I can see that you are very happy." ”

Zhu Haoyun hurriedly said, "The disciple doesn't dare. ”

"Which one do you belong to?" Yin Yang suddenly asked.

Zhu Haoyun was stunned.

"There is no surname Zhu among the six surnames in Guanzhong County, what is your real name?" Yin Yang asked.

Zhu Haoyun was silent for a moment and said, "The disciple's real name, Zheng Haoyun." ”

"It's the same clan as the noble concubine. Yin Yang said: "But you still haven't told the truth, Haoyun, time is running out for you, you want to hear the truth from you before you die, is it okay?"
