14. There is no ancestral life

In the quiet feast, Gao Yue, Wei Gao and Du You quickly reached a tacit understanding.

This change in the court ended with "inner meditation".

Immediately the three of them retreated into the private curtain, and Wei Gao demanded that there be a small change in the palace now, but we can't change the outer court, because after all, the inner Zen is the normal inheritance system of our Tang Dynasty, starting from Gaozu, and there is no need to disturb the situation in the world.

If we are stable, the world will be stable.

Wei Gao was embarrassed to say what he really thought in his heart, in order to avoid suspicion and let the outside world guess that he was related to Zhenyuan Neizen, in fact, his idea was that Jiannan would merge Xingyuan Mansion and Kuiba again, and become a giant in the southwest.

And Du You, of course, also has thoughts, after he unified the five pipes of Lingnan, he longed to enter the court as a Zhongshu squire, that is, to be the prime minister in Zaitang, not to mention that the crown prince had constantly asked Liu Yuxi to write letters to himself, hoping to let him come to the ruling center, and regarded Du You as the most powerful supporter, and now Du Huangshang can go to the local province to return to Xiangxia, as for Gao Yue?

"In Yisong's Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province, there may be a war soon. Jiannan, Lingnan and even the entire Jianghuai and Jianghan provinces have to be fully supported by financial endowments, and the authority of Yisong, Huaihai and Pingzhangshi seems to be the most stable if they remain unchanged. In addition, if Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province is divided into Guang, Cai and other prefectures as new Huaixi Province, the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yisong may not be enough to support Wu Yi's army, so in the future, the twelve prefectures of Ziqing, should the richest states be allocated to Huaihai Province? Du You had something to say.

"This is a bad statement, Ziqing Fang Town twelve states, only Yi, Hai and other Chu Prefectures are still bordered by my Huaihai, and the rest are all outside the territory of Zhang Jianfeng of the Wuning Army and Dong Jin of the Xuanwu Army." Gao Yue's words actually mean that the areas of Yi, Hai, and Mi are too poor, and I am not uncommon.

Du You hurriedly said, change the land.

After leveling Ziqing, let Zhang Jianfeng and Wu Ningjun go to the prefectures and counties where Juyeze sits, and Xu Si's critical land will be given to Yisong you, "What is Chengwu's opinion?" ”

Wei Gao said that there is no problem and he fully supports.

"Respect the king!" The three of them immediately swore to each other to support each other and support the emperor Tang Jiangshan.

And Gao Yue may have to continue to serve in Huaihai Province, and then continue, because there is no doubt that the authority to control the Ziqing war is his.

The next day, in the Daming Palace, the emperor's edict came out and was published to the public.

After that, the emperor was the emperor, but he still called himself "I", lived in the Liangyi Palace, went to the Jinluan Hall every ten days to be worshiped by the prime ministers, and the court officials were still in the hands of the emperor in addition to granting and disposing of the power of punishment (in fact, it was useless), and the punishment was called "Edict" and "Order", which was called "Decree" and "Decree" externally, and was ordered internally.

The crown prince Li Yu was recognized as the new emperor.

Emperor Taishang's first edict was to hope that Du Huangshang, the servant of the Chinese scholar, Ping Zhangshi, and Gao Yue, the young master of the crown prince, would at least send a book to the Yangyuan to welcome the prince to the Taiji Hall in the old palace to ascend the throne.

The Emperor Taishang had no Hanlin scholars available, so the prime ministers came forward, first saying that they wanted Liu Zongyuan, the head secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to be the main writer, but they thought that Liu's qualifications were too shallow and would arouse suspicion, so they moved the final writer to the side of the human rights and morality of the Zhongshu Society.

In the Shaoyang Courtyard, seeing the arrival of the Emperor's book, Li Yu hurriedly greeted the family members, officials, and ministers of the whole courtyard.

When he saw Gao Yue, Li Yu was immediately more excited, he knew that this represented the matter of Inner Zen Gao Yue had nodded in approval, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling, saying that His Royal Highness was going to ascend to the Great Treasure immediately, and then salute the Duke of Weiguo, which was not in line with etiquette.

And Gao Yue immediately bowed down to the crown prince, and even said that the minister Yue was edicted by the emperor, and then in the Taiji Palace, the national seal was enshrined in the hands of the prince.

"It's just that the ministers entered the forbidden room, hoping to go to the Liangyi Palace to meet the emperor, but the envoy of the central official said to the ministers that it was inconvenient, so the ministers risked their lives to enter His Royal Highness, and the enthronement ceremony is imminent, at that time, the ministers inside and outside the Beijing Division want to see the emperor and the new emperor side by side, otherwise people's hearts will be chaotic, and please ask Your Highness to ...... this."

"Palace Master Jin Yu's good words, how dare you disobey?" Li Yu immediately replied.

This is also equivalent to giving Gao Yue a guarantee: I will not touch the thoughtfulness of the Emperor Taishang and other clans, but I also hope that you and other loyal ministers will recognize me and protect my throne, and I will be rewarded at that time.

In the team, Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, saw his father's appearance, and couldn't help but clench the joints of his fists with a creaky sound, but he still held back with all his strength and did not have a seizure, but he was so frightened that Tutu Chengxuan, who was kneeling behind, was almost colorless.

Du Huangshang began to recite "The Succession of the Crown Prince and the Amnesty of the Yuan Reform", in which he praised Li Chan as "wise and gentle, generous and benevolent." The way of civil and military affairs, self-knowledge; The sincerity of filial piety comes from nature. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu's ears were red and his cheeks were sweating.

And the ministers of the East Palace are also like facing a great enemy, looking at the ground with their eyes and noses, and they are so ashamed that they dare not raise their heads.

Later, in the book, he said in the tone of the emperor that since I was enshrined in Zen Huayue, I suddenly realized that I had become pure and desireless, and my mind was full of thoughts of self-cultivation and Taoism. "In this way, I can be idle and tranquil, and pursue Taoist immortality.

Li Yu immediately paid homage to the canonization ceremony, and said to Du Huangshang and Gao Yue that there was the Emperor Taishang, and he did not dare to call me alone, and then he called himself "Yu", and looked at things in the Yanying Palace, lived in the bathroom hall and the Jinluan Palace, and disposed of the matter as "edict" and "system".

Then the crown prince Li Yu drove out of the Daming Palace, to the Taiji Hall of the old palace city, the enthronement ceremony, Linxuan accepted the congratulations of the courtiers, and received the national seal from Gao Yue. Later, Li Yu met with the royal relatives in the side hall, and canonized Princess Lingxu as "the eldest princess of Ningguo", Princess Yiyang as "Princess Muguo", Princess Deyang as "Korean princess", Princess Yun'an as "Thai princess", and the other heirs remain unchanged, and all princesses can enter and leave the palace freely.

The ministers began to present their medals to the new emperor, hoping to honor him.

But the new emperor all refused, saying that as long as the emperor was there, he would not be honorific, would not be crowned as a queen, would not change the yuan, and would not be called me, in order to show respect.

Almost at the same time, Wei Bo and Ziqing's envoys had just arrived in Chang'an City, and after learning the exact news of the emperor's inner meditation, they were all surprised, and they handed over the document to the Zhongshu Sect to ask what was going on!

And the prime ministers under the Zhongshu Sect replied jointly:

Four days later, the Emperor Taishang and the new Emperor went to the palace together to receive an audience from Chinese and foreign envoys.
