Chapter 40: The Tragic Throne
Guo'er, after you become the emperor, you must protect everything you should protect like you did in the Spring Courtyard! The Queen Mother said earnestly.
He was gentle and decisively refused to the queen, which broke the heart of the queen mother. "Erchen doesn't want such a heavy throne, Erchen just wants to live a leisurely life, and the queen mother still passes the throne to the emperor's brother and let him serve as this name!" The Empress Dowager Xiao was furious when she heard this, and her calm mood suddenly changed back to the murderous appearance of the latest person to see him, the Empress Dowager was unwilling, so angry that she slapped him with her backhand, and asked: "In such a world, you still want to be idle, do you not take the emperor's in your eyes, or do you not want to face the entire people of Great Xia?"
Li Jianguo covered his red and swollen cheeks, and left tears aggrievedly: "Erchen just wants to live a relaxed life!." โ
"Don't you understand the situation of the dynasty? Do you think you can live like this now? โ
ยท Li Jianguo couldn't answer. Xin'er, who was even more reluctant than him, took the initiative to hold his hand to comfort his mother: "Jianguo, quickly admit your mistake to the queen mother." Inherit the throne well!"
Li Jianguo hesitated for a while, shed two tears, and reluctantly, painfully accepted the throne and apologized.
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled sadly and looked at him with fake contempt in her eyes: "Or Xin'er is more sensible than you!" โ
"Okay, you two kneel here first, waiting for the mourning family!"
The Queen Mother walked slowly outside the palace gate, and at this moment in her painful heart, she also apologized for Guo'er: "I'm sorry Guo'er, the mourning family doesn't want to see you and Xin'er face the coming of this day, the unkindness of the mourning family is to let you understand that even if you encounter suffering, don't run away!" โ
Half an hour later, mourning began in the court, and the loyal ministers all became panicked at once, and they asked themselves: "Why is the death knell sounded in this palace, is it that the emperor is already now?" "There must be a feeling of grief in my heart.
The ministers had already assembled each other, and they were going to the Taixuan Hall one after another. The Queen Mother presided over the government.
"Ministers and others see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose!" In the face of the shouts of the courtiers, the empress dowager obviously did not have a sense of pride, she took the holy decree to the eunuchs, and at this moment her fragile heart was like a boulder pressing, struggling, desperately supporting. ใ
"The first emperor's old illness relapsed, and he died and returned to heaven, and the first emperor left a holy decree to read it immediately."
The eunuch took the prospectus, and as soon as he spit out the words "Fengtian ......", he was interrupted by the original three loyal ministers: "Wait!" The Empress Dowager Weichen has an unknown matter, the first emperor has only succeeded to the throne not long ago, and he is not yet thirty years old and in the prime of life. Although he suffered from labor illness due to state affairs before, he has improved after some recuperation. But there is no history of any medical history in the future, how can it be sudden? โ
"It's a pity that the emperor's illness could not be eradicated, and this morning he drove west due to a recurrence of the old disease." The Queen Mother said falsely, the regret in her heart will always be real.
"The Empress Dowager of Qiyu, Weichen thought that Yuan Taishi had just been executed, and he would die with him. Moreover, the evidence of the former emperor was unreasonable, and now it seems that there must be a cause for it, and Wei Chen implored the queen mother to carefully investigate the cause of the emperor's death and eradicate the murder of the traitorous ministers, so as to comfort the soul of the former emperor and the heavens! "This minister's courage is commendable, but he was so stupid that he didn't know the situation of the dynasty, and he played this early.
"Bold! You dare to suspect the Queen Mother and the former emperor, and you are disrespectful to this. What should the emperor do with such traitors? Li Xiao asked deliberately, but the polite words in his false words could not hide the murderous aura in his eyes.
Although the Queen Mother was moved by the words of the loyal minister, she was helpless, so she had to bear to order: "The disobedient minister should be punished." Drag him out and behead him! In the face of unjust killing, he had no fear, nor did he leave a word of begging for mercy, and the moment he was dragged outside the hall, he looked at Li Xiao's father and son with hatred and eyes. Li Xiao just glanced at him and ignored him. On the contrary, Li Renhuai relied on his father's power, looking arrogant, squinting at each other, smiling treacherously, but the courtiers behind him turned a blind eye.
The Empress Dowager ordered the eunuchs to continue to read the holy decree, the first meaning of the holy decree, Feng Ling King Li Jianguo as the emperor's younger brother, inheriting the throne of the Wenjue Dynasty. However, this is normal from the perspective of the death of the former emperor. However, the following holy will made the rest of His Highness's loyal ministers feel surprised and dissatisfied in their hearts!
In the name of Li Xiao's contribution to the opening of the dynasty and his loyal support to the second emperor, Shengyi was awarded the title of Prime Minister of the East (Prime Minister of the Prime Minister), Shang Shuling, and Taiwu Wei. The three officials stood side by side, grasped the power, commanded the power of the six ministries, and controlled the three armies. The resentment of the loyal ministers has risen resolutely, and the grief for the unjust death of the two former emperors has also penetrated into the bottom of their hearts.
Not all of them are stupid, and the lessons of the past have made them learn to be more forbearing.
"Welcome to the new Emperor." The eunuch turned the queen mother's mind again.
In the cold weather, Li Jianguo was wearing a sacred dragon robe that seemed to be brand new and mighty, and was pushed up to the main hall by the two eunuchs. The dragon robe he was wearing had already been "worn out and soaked in countless cold airs." He panicked and walked up to the main hall without a god.
"Ministers and others see the emperor!" Lin Hu, who was a group of ministers, made him even more frightened, took the will, knelt on his knees, wept like rain, and cried: "Brother Huang! โ
Three days later, according to the words of Emperor Wenjue before the collapse, the ministers held the most humble funeral for him in the history of the emperor
In the fifty-seventh year of Yonglong, Li Jianguo became the third generation emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the title was the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Soon after he succeeded to the throne, under the consultation of the Queen Mother, the imperial brother of the temple was Xiaozong of Northern Xia, and he was posthumously named Emperor Zhaoming. The following year, he changed his name to Jin Jin and began his puppet career.
The good day of Li Jianguo's enthronement ceremony was counted by the Taoist priest invited by Li Xiao. At the time of the dispatch, the sky was still sunny and bright, and the clouds were undulating. But when the brigade gathered in the middle hall, the sky completely changed. The sunny sky suddenly became gloomy. The clouds were thick, and the sky was pouring rain. The hour was certain, and the brigade did not dare to stop moving forward, and continued to walk in the rain.
The traitors all left the same wicked smile at this moment. As long as there are a few loyal ministers, the joy on their faces cannot be contained. The sadness, panic, and anxious look on his face revealed that he was out of line. In an instant, the sky and the earth were dark. Wind and rain are like arrows, lightning and thunder. A terrifying aura of crows flew in flocks, surrounding the sky above the Taixuan Palace, foreshadowing a bad omen. The loyal ministers silently looked up at the dim sky, and their hearts were bitter. The traitor's sneer has become more cheap.
Li Jianguo was "pressed" on the luxurious dragon chair by the Queen Mother, and the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor!" โ
"Emperor Chao, hurry, hurry up and tell all Aiqing to be free of courtesy!" The Queen Mother was flustered, she looked at it, and Li Jianguo, who was hesitant, said respectfully.
Long live the ministers again this "Lin Hu", three times in a row. Li Jianguo was simply stupid, and his whole body trembled. Later, he slipped directly from the dragon chair and slept at the foot of the dragon chair, with a long "heh". Completely out of breath.
The Queen Mother was particularly worried, and she said very inquisitively: "Emperor Chao, you quickly sit on the dragon chair and let the ministers be flat!" The Queen Mother begged.
Li Jianguo's whole body trembled even more, he kept shaking up, and said in a panic: "The sons are so afraid, the queen mother and the sons are so afraid!" โ ใ His expression was earthy and extremely embarrassed.
The queen mother begged again, and the ministers shouted again. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed from outside the hall, and Li Jianguo covered his eyes. "No ......" Then, the "boom" in the sky made his hair stand even harder, and he suddenly climbed under the seat of the Queen Mother, picked up her legs, slept in her arms, dripping bitter tears, and wailed miserably: "The Queen Mother ......"
"This ......" the loyal minister quietly looked up, and for a moment he was worried about the new emperor's move.
Empress Dowager Xiao had no choice but to order: "The emperor is in a bad mental state today, so he will retire." โ
Li Jianguo's cowardly appearance was naturally indispensable to the ridicule of some traitorous ministers, and as soon as he walked out of the hall, "Seeing Li Jianguo's stupid appearance just now, I just laughed to death." He was afraid to be like that. โ
"Heh......" He looked back at the hall with disdain.
Turning to look at Li Xiao, "The emperor has made you see that there is such an incompetent and cowardly throne, how can it last long." You are now in power, and the succession to the throne is just around the corner, and you will be able to complete your dream of being the emperor in less than two years! โ
Li Xiao did not accept his praise, and said angrily: "Bold! You dare to talk about the emperor like this, do you still want to ride on the head of the widow? Li Xiao forced him to ask, he dared to be cautious, explained, exaggerated, and slurred, telling him that he didn't dare to have this idea at all, and continued to brag after finishing: "Besides, the real power of the emperor and the queen mother is as big as you!" โ
Li Xiao slanted at the blower for a short time, and snorted angrily! "Do you think that the rightful throne in the hearts of the widows is so easy to obtain? The widow hates a sycophant like you the most in his life, so you'd better talk less in front of the widow in the future! โ
After the emperor's younger brother Li Jianguo succeeded to the throne, his only concubine naturally became the queen of the world, and this was also the last thing he wanted to get.
Li Jianguo came directly to the Jiaofang Hall of the harem, he didn't look at a slave maid in the palace, they had already been called out of the back door outside the hall by Gao Yang Yanxin. Looking at this, he didn't say a word, and directly hugged Gao Yang Yanxin and cried: "Xin'er, don't you know, this time of the emperor's throne is too terrible, the queen mother not only ignores me but also scolds me, what should I do?" , "Woo~Woo~" Li Jianguo cried like a three-year-old child, Gao Yang Yanxin smiled, hugged his little head and comforted: "Don't be afraid of Jianguo, Xin'er will always be by your side, the queen mother also has her reasons for doing this, don't hold a grudge against the right words!" โ
"Of course, I can't hold a grudge against the Queen Mother's words. It's just that Jianguo knows that this is not the life that Xin'er wants, it is Jianguo who is sorry for you.
"Didn't Xin'er say it, Jianguo don't say sorry to me easily. Xin'er believes that the secret intention of the royal brother is just a process, as long as we survive this difficult process, we will get the life we want, so you don't want to be like this when you build the country, Xin'er will be heartbroken"
"But Xin'er ......" Li Jianguo said aggrievedly.
Gao Yang Yanxin took out her right hand to wipe away her tears for Jianguo, and her left hand had also moved to her back to caress her, "In Xin'er's eyes, no matter what status you become in the future, you are just Xin'er's ordinary husband, and you will never change." Therefore, Xin'er dares you to say anything. You also have to love Xin'er well before the founding of the country, and don't let down my sincerity to you. Don't forget, Xin'er's selfish heart can tolerate not building a second woman in her heart! โ
Li Jianguo hugged him tighter and cried more violently. He raised his right hand and swore to God! For the sake of Xin'er, I will definitely not do this. Xin'er unconsciously left tears. Looking at Jianguo affectionately, she took the initiative to kiss his forehead. "Xin'er believes you won't!" Li Jianguo was tired of crying, he slept soundly on Xin'er's lap, and tears flowed down his face. Looking down, Gaoyang Yanxin Spring was about to come, she couldn't wait to hold Li Jianguo on the bed, held his body, and started......
The news of Li Shan's death has been granted amnesty to the world, and it was soon known to Yang Sleeve.
The subordinate came to report, but he didn't want to believe it: "Emperor Wenjue died and you said it is true?" โ
"His subordinates don't dare to lie, now his imperial brother has inherited the throne and become the emperor of the Zhiyuan Dynasty!"
Yang Sleeve was completely shocked, he pressed his chest with a dull pain, and burst into tears. Looking up at the sky, he cried: "Good friend, why are you leaving Shun for a long time, Shun is reluctant to give you up!" โ
"The emperor pleases his condolences!" Kneel down to consolation.
Yang Sleeve shed tears and mourned: "Pass the order to go down and avoid the fifteenth morning dynasty." All the civil and military officials in the palace and even the people of the capital stopped all matters and worshiped the emperor of the Wenjue Dynasty to show the grace of the friendly dynasty! โ
"The emperor is affectionate, this is the blessing of heaven."
Yang sleeves were wrapped in tears and shook his head painfully: "But Shun's heart is very sad now, and he needs to be quiet." He buried his head and waved his hand gently: "You and them should stand down!" โ
Yang Sleeve was alone in the palace, leaving behind not only endless pain but also great worries, and he looked forward to: "I hope that the Emperor of the Zhiyuan Dynasty can inherit the peace of his imperial brother and continue to pass on the friendship agreement of the two dynasties of the Shadow People." โ
Li Jianguo became the queen of the court, because of fear, he had not been to the court for ten days, and he wanted to do it in the lotus pond in Gaoyang Yanxin all day long, and talked about love. Today, Li Xiao is coming, Li Jianguo is frightened, and bows for his courtiers: "The nephew of the country welcomes the emperor's order." โ
Li Xiao's expression changed greatly, pretending to be very difficult to invite, he respectfully helped Li Jianguo up, and knelt down instantly: "The emperor, how can you bow to the courtiers if you are the son of heaven?" This move is really frustrating for Weichen! โ
"The emperor's order is to get up quickly, let's sit down and talk about what you have to say!" Li Xiao kowtowed and thanked him, then straightened himself and said respectfully: "Emperor Chao, please!" The two sat opposite each other and under the pavilion, and then he paid homage to the queen. Li Jianguo took the initiative to make tea for him, and Li Xiao took it and expressed his gratitude.
The fear in Li Jianguo's heart did not disappear, his hands kept holding Gao Yang Yanxin, refusing to let go. Turning to the main topic, Li Xiao begged Li Jianguo to lift the will to run a spring garden and encourage poor women to engage in spring women, so as to increase the treasury tax revenue and change the lives of these poor people. ใ
Li Xiao's words are also reasonable, but for a woman like Gao Yang Yanxin, she is tired of it anyway, although she is dissatisfied, but she thinks of the emperor's tautology, and she has also learned to endure for the founding of the country. has been smiling all the time, and the true feelings have not been revealed.
When Li Jianguo heard this, he glanced at Gao Yang Yanxin and had no complaints. In addition, he was already afraid of the courtiers now, not to mention Li Xiao, so he had to agree! โ
Li Jianguo unexpectedly issued the holy decree, but he still did not go to the morning court on the next fifteen days.
The Queen Mother was in a hurry, today she didn't say a word, and rushed into the Jiaofang Hall with an angry face, Li Jianguo had not yet conceived her mind, so she was reprimanded: "Good for your country, you are playing leisurely, it is just indecent to hold the enthronement ceremony, and there has been no morning court for a month!" โ
Before Li Jianguo could completely turn around, he was forgiven by the Empress Dowager Xiao: "You kneel down for the mourning family!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she called everyone into the palace and no one was allowed to do it. Gao Yang Yanxin also took advantage of this time to kick Jianguo briskly: "Jianguo, don't kneel down for the queen mother soon!" โ
After Li Jianguo knelt down obediently, the Queen Mother continued to instruct: "The mourning family thought that you were indulging in the grief of the death of the imperial brother a few days ago, and the mourning family wanted to give you time to ignore you for the time being, but you see how long it has been, you have not even been to the court, how to face the courtiers in the long run!" โ
Li Jianguo explained in every possible way: "The faces of those courtiers and the atmosphere in the palace are too terrifying, and an early dynasty will take so long, the ministers are so afraid!"
"It's the first time I've heard such a ridiculous reason, it seems that you didn't pay attention to the words of the imperial brother and the queen mother at all, and someone came to lock the emperor in the sect hall!"
