Li Yi, the son of heaven, has deeply experienced the cruelty of the power struggle in recent months, especially the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the struggle for imperial power, and he has now understood that his father did not really abdicate, he just took retreat as an advance to get rid of the great responsibility of the Jingyuan Mutiny, and it is funny to think about it, his father is only over forty years old, how can he be willing to be behind the scenes?

Li Yi felt that he was too simple and stupid, and he was bent on reviving the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't pay attention to the cold arrow shot from behind, his father took away the military power and financial power strongly, and his will was even out of success, and even many officials in the imperial court began to disobey the yang.

Li Yi stood in front of the window of the imperial study with his hands in his hands, looking at the white clouds in the distance in a daze, he had an indescribable sadness in his heart, he knew that he should not take over the throne, he was still too young.

At this time, a eunuch said at the door: "Your Majesty, Han Xiangguo asks to see!" ”

Han Rong is one of the very few ministers who support Li Yi, and even the right minister Zhang Yansheng often asks for leave due to illness, and the entire court is supported by Han Rong.

Li Yi hurriedly said, "Please Han Xiangguo come in!" ”

After a while, Han Yun hurriedly walked into the imperial study, bowed down and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

"Han Xiangguo is exempt!"

Li Yi said calmly: "Is there anything wrong with Xiangguo?" ”

Han Yun took out a copy of the recital and said, "This is the transfer plan for the thirty-two county orders drafted by the Ministry of Officials, please take a look at it." ”

Li Yi looked at the fold and asked, "Does the Emperor know about this fold?" ”

Han Yun hesitated and said, "Weichen believes that the transfer of this relevant county order is not within the power of the Emperor Taishang. ”

Li Yi sighed and said, "What else is out of his power now?" ”

Han Yun was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"Although Han Xiangguo said bluntly, I will not blame."

"Your Majesty, the so-called name is not right, the words are not good, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, the Emperor is the Emperor, the Son of Heaven is set aside, the Emperor Taishang Yue did the Son of Heaven on behalf of the Emperor, this is not only ridiculous, but also contrary to the norm, Weichen's suggestion is that if His Majesty can no longer continue to sit on the throne, then simply give way to the Emperor, please restore the throne, Your Majesty will continue to be the prince, in the Wuzhou era, this kind of thing often happened, and there was nothing wrong with it."

Li Yi was a little embarrassed, he had already sent someone to inform Wei Gao to lead the army to escort him, once this matter was known to his father, would he spare himself?

"This matter is very important, it is related to the future of Datang, I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it for another month or two!"

Han Yun sighed secretly, no matter who is the emperor, it doesn't matter, but the court can't be chaotic, like this, there are two power centers in Datang, which will make people's hearts unstable, which will seriously weaken the cohesion of Datang, so that Datang will eventually fall apart and perish, the situation is already critical to this extent, this son of heaven is still constantly decisive, or greedy for the throne, I really don't know what to say about him.

"Your Majesty, think about it! The court has already lost its hearts and minds and cannot drag it out any longer. ”

"I know I'll make a decision as soon as possible."

Han Yun saluted, put down the fold, and retreated.

Li Yi didn't have the heart to look at the folds anymore, he threw them away, and ordered: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

.........

Han Yun met Li Yi, and half an hour later, Li Shi knew all the details, and Song Chaofeng reported: "The Son of Heaven is a little tempted, but he doesn't seem to be able to make up his mind. ”

Li Shi snorted coldly and said: "He can't make up his mind, he is still reluctant to take the throne, and he still expects Wei Gao to overthrow me." ”

"What Your Majesty ordered before, the old slave has already arranged."

"That's good!"

Li Shi pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Then don't delay any longer, let's start tonight!" ”

"The old slave is going to inform General Dou!"

"Let him come to me now!"

Song Chaofeng hurriedly went down, and Li Shi said to himself: "Since ancient times, I don't recognize father and son in front of the throne, not to mention that you are not my biological son." ”

.........

At night, Li Yi, the son of heaven, was drinking in the palace, and Queen Wei accompanied him, and the couple were married for five years and gave birth to two sons, Li Zhi and Li Lun, one was three years old and the other was only two years old.

Wei Shi softly persuaded her husband: "Instead of being a false emperor, it is better to return the throne to my father, and it is more stable for Your Majesty to be the crown prince again, it is not a way to go on like this!" ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "If I abdicate, do you think he will still make me the crown prince?" ”

"It's better not to be a prince, to be a commoner, let's live a plain life, leave our troubles behind, and focus on raising our children."

Li Yi is also quite tempted, he is really willing to be a commoner.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on, all the guards have withdrawn, as if they have received some orders. ”

"Nonsense, go to Xuandou Wen to see me!"

Dou Wen is the general of Qianniuwei, and the thousands of guards in the palace are under his jurisdiction.

As soon as the eunuch walked out of the palace gate, he ran back in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, outside.... There are so many troops out there! ”

Li Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the inner hall, only to see that the square was densely packed with troops, they were holding torches, illuminating the square as daylight, and there was an old eunuch in armor standing in front of the steps, Li Yi recognized at a glance, it was Huo Xianming, the lieutenant of the Shence Army, so are these troops all Shence Army?

He began to feel apprehensive in his heart, the guards retreated, and the Shence army took over the inner palace, what was this going to do, to launch a coup d'état?

"Father-in-law Huo, what are you doing here?"

Huo Xianming glanced at Li Yi coldly, and said sharply: "I received news that someone is practicing witchcraft in the inner palace, and I have come to search!" ”

Li Yi was furious, "This is my inner palace, you dare to mess around?" ”

Huo Xianming raised a golden sword and said in a loud voice: "This is the golden sword of the Emperor Taishang, I came to search on the order of the Emperor Taishang, please ask Your Majesty and the Empress to take refuge for a while, don't let the soldiers offend Long Yan." ”

Li Yi fell into an ice cave, and he suddenly understood that his father had done it to him.

Webster was alarmed: "Your Majesty, what should we do? ”

Li Yi was extremely desperate in his heart, he shook his head, "Let's go to the Caiwei Hall for a while, let them be!" ”

Li Yi took himself and a group of palace maids to the Caiwei Hall on the other side, and when they entered the palace, Huo Xianming immediately gave the general Wang Jie, and Wang Jie immediately led two thousand soldiers to block the Caiwei Palace, and locked the Son of Heaven Li Yi and the queen in the palace.

Huo Xianming immediately personally led the soldiers to search Li Yi and the palace's dormitory, needless to say, they soon found a secret room, and found a small wooden figure with the name of Emperor Li Shi written on it in the secret room, and thirteen needles were pierced on it, and there was a witch spell on the back of the little wooden man.

The evidence was conclusive, and Li Shi immediately summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to gather in the Xuanzheng Hall, and the guards showed the evidence to the ministers.

Li Shi said to everyone with great sadness: "If the ability is insufficient, I can still understand, but the virtue is bad, there is a desire to kill the father, and the human ethics are often lost, I will never tolerate it, from now on, I officially announce the abolition of Li Yi's throne, demoted to a concubine, I reinstated, and lead the Aiqing to revitalize the dynasty!" ”

Li Shi was surrounded by the guards, and sat on the long-lost dragon couch again, and the ministers knelt down and shouted three long live, at this time, Li Yi and his wife were escorted up in great sadness, they had changed into ordinary clothes, and the husband and wife supported each other, kneeling on the main hall, and they couldn't cry.

Many ministers couldn't bear it and turned their heads away.

Li Shi pointed at Li Yi and said slowly: "Although you have the idea of killing your father, I have no heart to eat children, I will send you and your wife to live in Banzhou, and take strict care, from now on, you are not allowed to set foot in Chengdu again!" ”

Li Yi and his wife kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your father's grace not to kill!" ”

Han Yun suddenly walked out, knelt down and said, "The old minister is incompetent, I am willing to resign from the phase and go to Banzhou together!" ”

A trace of anger flashed in Li Shi's eyes, he was about to execute Li Yi and his wife halfway, obviously Han Yun saw through it, he actually wanted to accompany him, Li Shi snorted coldly in his heart, it was not too late to kill Li Yi in a few months.

"Since Han Xiangguo is going to accompany him, I'm ready!"

Xue Xun suddenly walked out of the queue and knelt down: "The minister is also willing to accompany him to Banzhou, and I beg Your Majesty for permission." ”

Li Shi hated it in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm right, who else wants to accompany me?" ”

There was silence in the hall, no one stood up again, although many of them sympathized with Li Yi, but going to Banzhou was equivalent to death, and everyone didn't dare to come forward again.

Li Shi glanced at Han Yun and Xue Xun, and said coldly: "That's it!" Han Yun served as the assassin of Banzhou, and Xue Xun served as the Sima of Banzhou, accompanied Li Yi and his wife to Banzhou, set off overnight tonight, and opened a new dynasty ceremony at three o'clock tomorrow morning! ”
