. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month of the ninth year of Wude, Li Yuan announced his abdication, and at the same time announced to the world that he would follow the example of the ancient virtuous emperor, the son of the more capable son of the Zen throne, the crown prince Li Shimin.

In the early morning of the ninth day of August, the morning glow is overwhelming, the sky is blue, and the breeze is gentle, which is an extremely rare good weather.

Under the service of a large group of people, Li Shimin dressed neatly, changed the custom of black and red in the previous dynasty, and the service of the Tang Dynasty had a qualitative change. The dragon robe is woven with silk and gold thread, and it is embroidered with exquisite patterns such as the sun, moon, stars, dragons, and mountains.

Li Shimin is already handsome and tall, and when he dresses up like this, he is like a god descending from heaven, and he is worthy of being the true son of the dragon. At this moment, Li Shimin's heart could not hide his excitement, as if he had experienced long-term depression, but when he got the world, he was so quick that he felt that he was not ready.

It is said that when a person is successful, he most wants to share it with the person he likes, after Li Shimin wore a sharp rope, it was still early before he officially ascended the throne, and all that appeared in front of him was Yuan Ziyan's smiling face.

The excited Li Shimin sent someone to call Yuan Ziyan, although Yuan Ziyan changed into new clothes, but still followed the previous elegant style, the cloud sideburns just inserted a hosta, slim and elegant, as fresh as a small lotus after the rain.

"Purple Smoke!" Shimin smiled and beckoned to Yuan Ziyan, Yuan Ziyan walked over with a brisk smile, looked up and down a few times, and praised: "Yes, it looks mighty and domineering, unstoppable!" ”

"You all stand down!" Li Shimin commanded in a cold voice.

The rest of the people looked a little hesitant, after all, the ceremony was about to start, and there was no room for being half a minute late. But seeing that Li Shimin seemed to have something to say to Yuan Ziyan alone, he had to retreat outside the door and pinch the hour. It's time, but it doesn't matter if it's Yuan Ziyan or Fang Ziyan.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian also changed his outfit, and her clothes were boldly improved by her, with a low chest and a high neckline, which made her look slender and white with a jade neck, and also added to the queen's majesty.

"Hey, Liu Shun. How do you serve outside the door. What about Your Majesty? The eldest grandson looked at the closed door of the hall in confusion and asked.

"Back to the crown princess, the prince is talking to the purple smoke girl." Liu Shun didn't dare to hide it and said truthfully.

The enthronement ceremony has not yet taken place. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wujian cannot be called the queen in advance. The eldest grandson Wuji's face was full of displeasure, and the eldest grandson Wuji beside him reminded in a low voice: "Sister, after the crown prince ascends the throne, you can enrich the harem for him." This Yuan Ziyan is also twenty and six years old. The boss is not small, and in a few years, he will be old. and without a name, it is very easy to get rid of it. ”

The eldest grandson nodded secretly, although he was unwilling, but he listened to his brother's dissuasion. Or go back and wait.

At this time, Li Shimin was talking about the topic of fame with Yuan Ziyan.

"In the past, when I looked at my father's case, I could imagine how busy I was after I ascended the throne. Purple smoke. I want to make you a virtuous concubine, what do you think? "After asking. Li Shimin is a little helpless, if he changes to other women, he will definitely be crazy, do you still need to discuss?

"Shimin, I have long said that I do not belong to this world." Yuan Ziyan lowered her thick eyelashes and said faintly: "No matter how high or low the title is, it is inevitable that other women will be jealous, this is not the life I want." ”

"Do you want to be a queen?" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he sighed to himself: "You also know that Wujian has always been in love with me, and gave birth to three children, which is justifi......able."

"Hehe, where do you want to go, I am not uncommon to be the queen, it is better to be free now."

"Ziyan, if you don't have a name, I won't have time to take care of it in the future, I'm afraid that you will be framed." Li Shimin's worries are not unreasonable, Yuan Ziyan has a lot of enemies, and when the court is full, I don't know how many people will be jealous of her, secretly make stumbling blocks, and frame her, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the palace.

If Yuan Ziyan didn't have any reputation, anyone could control her in a grand manner. Yuan Ziyan is not a portable jade pendant, Li Shimin will always have a negligent day, is it not too late to regret it?

"If that ever happens, I'll fly out of this palace......"

"No!" Li Shimin blocked Yuan Ziyan's hand with his hand, and said affectionately: "I want you to accompany me for the rest of my life, and I must not leave." I will also spend my life protecting you and will not let anyone or anything hurt you. ”

Receiving the solemn promise of the greatest man in the world today, Yuan Ziyan's heart was warm, and he was so moved that almost tears flowed out. Trying his best to control his emotions, he gently pushed Li Shimin away, smoothed the subtle wrinkles on his clothes for him, and complained: "Good clothes have to be wrinkled, be careful that your subjects laugh at you." ”

"They dare!" Li Shimin said and wrapped his arms around Yuan Ziyan's waist, Yuan Ziyan chuckled and jumped away, pointed to the hourglass, and said, "The time has come, if you don't go, I want to go!" ”

"Haha, how can there be a female emperor, it's just nonsense!" Li Shimin laughed and was in a very good mood.

After that, there was a lengthy enthronement ceremony, first Li Yuan read out the edict of abdication, and then declared the Zen throne to the crown prince Li Shimin, Li Shimin knelt three times and knocked nine times, inherited the unification, and immediately canonized the eldest grandson as the queen and the Yang family as the concubine.

Looking at the expected gaze of the audience, as well as Li Yuan's previous advice, Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and still with a little reluctance to canonize Li Chengqian as the crown prince.

All the ministers shouted long live the sainthood, and Li Yuan finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Chengqian is his favorite grandson, who belongs to the next generation, but also makes up for some regrets in the past.

Li Yuantui said that he was unwell and did not participate in the next tedious activities such as priests and ancestors of heaven and earth, and after handing over all the jade seal talismans, he easily withdrew from the historical stage.

Nine years of emperor, some people may think that Li Yuan's short career as an emperor did not make much achievements, but in the author's opinion, it was Li Yuan who made a hard work for Li Shimin, so that he could have a good start when the Tang Dynasty was founded. As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan has indelible historical achievements.

After that, Li Yuan saw through the world, the emperor was also the emperor, and his own son was also killed, the greatest glory and greatest sorrow in the world, he tasted it all, what else is worth fighting for?

If Li Yuan is said to be the emperor for a few more years, it is not impossible, but he believes that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and his twenty-eight-year-old son Li Shimin is already fully qualified for this role.

Even Li Yuan kept silent about the military affairs that Li Shimin took the initiative to consult, not because he was negative, but because he hoped that his son would grow up in exploration. Times are advancing, no one is a prophet, no one can tell him everything.

Li Shimin is very filial to the emperor's father, and also built a palace for him that is more suitable for health and living, Li Yuan threw away all his troubles, eating, drinking and having fun every day, which is enviable.

Li Shimin's political career has just entered its heyday, and on the day he ascended the throne, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he did not forget a meritorious hero.

Fang Xuanling worked hard and made great achievements, and the changes and strategies of Xuanwumen were all from him and Du Ruhui, and he was promoted to Zhongshu Ling; followed by Du Ruhui, who was named Cai Guogong and gave 1,300 households; The eldest grandson Wuji was promoted to the secretary of the ministry, the title of the Duke of Qi, the lord and the status of a relative, the eldest grandson Wuji became more and more favored, and he could even enter and leave the emperor's bedroom; Wei Chi Gong added the title of Wu Guogong, the general of the right Wuhou, 1,300 households, 10,000 silk horses, because of his savior's merit, and put down the rebellion in the East Palace, all the property in the palace of the king of Qi was rewarded to him. Qin Qiong was named the general of the Marquis of Zuowu, worshiped the prince's right guard, and sealed 700 households; Gao Shilian, that is, the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji's brother and sister, was promoted to the rank of servant, and was named the prince of Yixing County, etc.

Of course, the first batch are all heroes of the Xuanwu Gate Change, and then the civil and military ministers who have followed Li Shimin all the year round have also been rewarded to varying degrees, and finally the deceased soldiers have also been posthumously sealed, which can be regarded as a posthumous honor.

These rewards alone lasted for two hours, and everyone's legs were sore, and the voices of the two eunuchs were hoarse. When the recitation was finished, all the ministers bowed down and thanked the Lord Long, and they were all very happy.

Li Shimin motioned for everyone to flatten down, looked around, and said: "When I first ascended to the great treasure, I often had apprehension in my heart, and the wind and clouds last night were still in front of me, and I didn't dare to forget it. Fortunately, with the support of the public, we have today, and I am sincerely afraid, and I don't know where to go. ”

"The ministers will definitely assist the saint and create a prosperous world!" Everyone said in unison.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, looked at one of them, and said with a smile: "Xu Maogong stepped forward to listen to the order." ”

Xu Maogong was stunned, he didn't make much effort in Xuanwumen, and because of Yuan Ziyan, he had a passive confrontation with Li Shimin before, and it was not a problem to speak disrespectfully. Xu Maogong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Minister! ”

"Xu Maogong from all directions, defeated the Turks several times, contributed a lot, worshiped as the governor of the state, and sealed 900 households." When Li Shimin said this, Xu Maogong was just about to thank him, and Li Shimin said: "I will give the surname Li and be commensurate with my brothers in the future." ”

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, this is a rare honor, with the emperor with the same surname, a family! Moreover, it was the emperor who personally rewarded him, not a eunuch who read it, and it seemed that the position was not the highest, but the treatment he received was incomparable to others. Of course, insiders will also muttered in their hearts that Emperor Li Shimin robbed someone's daughter-in-law, which is very appeased.

Xu Maogong was naturally grateful, but it could be seen from his calm eyes that his heart did not make too many waves because of this. Since then, Xu Maogong has changed his name to Li Tao.

"There is one more person, but I don't know how to reward it." Li Shimin said with a smile, everyone's eyes were all focused on Yuan Ziyan, except for her, who could make Li Shimin's mood look so happy?

"Your Majesty is talking about Wei Zheng, right?" Yuan Ziyan didn't wait for Li Shimin to speak, and asked with a smile.

Everyone was stunned, including Li Shimin, and they couldn't help frowning slightly. At this time, Wei Zheng was almost fifty years old, and he had been serving Li Jiancheng, crying unabashedly every day, which was very annoying! (To be continued)
