In the early morning of 28 May, before dawn, Li Shimin sat up. The eldest grandson beside him also woke up, looked at Li Shimin sitting on the bed with a thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but reach out and hug Li Shimin's waist.

"Erlang, what are you thinking?"

Li Shimin stretched out a hand and stroked the slippery back of the eldest grandson: "Guanyin, after today, I will be the emperor, and you will be the queen!" ”

The eldest grandson snorted: "What emperor and empress, you are still Erlang, and I am still Guanyin!" These two names are really heavy on the head! ”

Li Shimin immediately hugged the eldest grandson into his arms and whispered: "Yes, you are still you, I am still me, nothing has changed, but the place of residence has changed!" ”

Like Li Shimin and his wife, there are many people who can't sleep this night. In addition to those cronies of the Qin Palace, Li Yuan, who lived in the Taiji Palace, also stayed awake all night. He looked at the burning butter candle, but he was a little stunned.

Zhang Yunwen may be one of the people who sleeps better. Since receiving the news that Li Yuan abdicated as the emperor and abdicated to Li Shimin, Zhang Yunwen's performance has been very indifferent, as if it were taken for granted. This is different from the consideration of those civil ministers and military generals in the Qin Palace, they originally thought that if Li Yuan was young and strong now, if he wanted to abdicate, he was afraid that he would have to wait for more than ten years, but they did not expect that Li Yuan would simply throw a huge empire to Li Shimin, and hide in the Taiji Palace to relax.

Because he slept very soundly, when the maids kept knocking on the door outside, Zhang Yunwen opened his hazy eyes.

casually put on a shirt and yawned and opened the door.

I saw Mei Xiangfeng running in, and when I saw Zhang Yunwen's appearance, I immediately said anxiously: "I said master, why aren't you in a hurry, it's already a commotion outside." Looking at the jubilant appearance of every household, it is like the New Year! Come, put on this purple robe! ”

Zhang Yunwen let Mei Xiang's hands touch his body, but said in his mouth: "Of course I am jubilant, which time the new emperor ascends the throne is not an amnesty for the world, and then he will be exempted from some taxes and servitude, everyone is happy!" ”

Mei Xiang put on her clothes in three or two clicks, and when she combed Zhang Yunwen's hair, she found a problem, the master in front of her didn't seem to have held a crown ceremony, how could she put those hair crowns on him?

So, I had to tie a scarf on Zhang Yunwen's bun.

was dragged out of the gate by Mei Xiang, Zhang Yunwen saw Cheng Yanjin with dark circles standing listlessly outside the door, and immediately knew why Mei Xiang was so anxious. smiled at Cheng Yanjin: "Subordinates see the general!" ”

Na Cheng bit Jin and smiled bitterly: "Yunwen, your kid has been out to dress up for longer than a woman, hey, why do you still wear a scarf?" Oh, and you haven't done the crown yet! Saying that, he squeezed his eyebrows for a while, "Do you want Lao Cheng to help you?" ”

Looking at Cheng Yanjin's face and beard, Zhang Yunwen suddenly felt uncomfortable. Hurriedly shirked: "It's still early when the crown ceremony is made, don't worry, don't hurry!" ”

While talking, the two rode their horses in the direction of the East Palace, and met several colleagues along the way, so they walked together.

When he came to the East Palace, Zhang Yunwen found an interesting question, in addition to him, many officials present had a pair of panda eyes, cheered up, and stood outside the Xiande Palace.

From the grayish white of the sky to the time when the sun rose on the edge of the eaves, he stood for nearly half an hour.

Finally, I saw the door of the Xiande Hall open, and a waiter in a red robe stood with his head bowed respectfully, while Li Shimin stepped out of the gate of the Xiande Palace.

"See Your Highness!" The officials shouted in unison.

After the worship of Li Shimin was over, everyone began to wait again. This time, it was the current emperor Li Yuan who was waiting.

didn't wait long, and saw a row of people carrying the dragon to the outside of the Xiande Palace.

However, Li Yuan was not among the people.

The column of guards came carrying dragon chairs. On top of the dragon chair, there is a beautiful square box.

Anyone who has seen Li Yuan's pardon decree know that in this box, what is placed is the jade seal of the Tang Dynasty.

Dragon chair with jade seal. Except for the Taiji Palace, where Li Yuan now lives, Li Yuan handed over all the emperor's belongings.

The column of guards put down the dragon chair, and Wang Fu, the eunuch in the palace, said sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree, today is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and when you see the sadness, you will send this dragon chair and jade seal!" At the same time, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he can focus on national affairs, and all civil ministers and military generals should also work together! ”

As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, Li Shimin threw himself on the dragon chair and cried mournfully, and at the same time cried silently: "Father, the emperor ......"

Seeing such a scene, all the ministers secretly praised Li Shimin's benevolence and filial piety in their hearts.

As soon as the dragon chair jade seal arrived, after being placed in the Xiande Hall under the auspices of Wang Fu, Li Shimin changed into a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe. Then, under the auspices of a waiter from the Ministry of Rites, after a series of tedious rituals, Li Shimin finally sat on the dragon chair.

All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The huge sound of the mountains roaring and the tsunami resounded throughout the palace, the entire Chang'an, and the entire Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he set up Changsun as the queen, and issued an edict to amnesty the world, and the six prefectures of Guannei and Pu, Rui, Yu, Tai, Shaanxi, and Ding were transferred rent-free for two years, and the rest of the year was given for another year. At the same time, the edict said, "There are many palace maids, and they are embarrassing, so it is advisable to come out simply, each to their relatives, and let them be suitable", so he released three thousand palace maids to go home.

However, a piece of news came, which made Li Shimin, who was immersed in the joy of ascending the throne, suddenly a little annoyed.

The news came from Zhao Yi, who stayed by Tuli's side. The news said that the Liang division, who was originally cut off from the emperor in Diaoyin, Honghua and other places, was pressed and beaten by the ** towards the Turkic Jieli Khan, and gave advice to him, saying that the battle for the Central Plains has just ended the change of throne, the East Palace has changed hands, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, which is a good time to send troops.

So Jieli and more than 100,000 people in Tuli were ready to attack.

Not long after receiving the news, information came from the Turkic Koujing Prefecture, and the Beijing division was immediately put under martial law.

(I sat in the car for a day today, and I was very unhappy!) )
