Chapter 184: Xuanwumen Mutiny

Everyone basically unified the same caliber, and expressed their desire to support the current Shu King Li Zhi and ascend the throne as the new emperor.

Li Zhonghua is not different, in his mind, since the current emperor Li Ke is looking for his own death, he can only return the throne that should have belonged to Li Zhi to him, which is probably also restoring history!

The Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson almost thought so in her heart, although she didn't really think about it in her heart, in her heart, being the emperor was actually under a lot of pressure, and her son Li Zhi was a little cowardly and was not a good candidate for an emperor.

But she only has such a son left, who can she choose if she doesn't choose him, and who she chooses to be the emperor, it seems that she is not safe for her son.

She is first and foremost just a woman like an ordinary mother, and it is a mother's nature to protect her son.

Secondly, she is the queen mother of the Tang Dynasty, and she has to think about the future of the Tang Dynasty.

In her heart, her son Li Zhi should also want to be the emperor himself, after all, as long as there is a chance, that man does not want to be the emperor.

When the Empress Dowager of Changsun was about to nod her head and say that after abolishing the current emperor Li Ke, she let her son Li Zhi, the king of Shu, ascend the throne and claim the throne, Li Zhi, the king of Shu, suddenly stepped forward and said: "The queen mother, the son does not want to be the emperor." ”

"What? Are you going to refuse to be emperor? ”

Everyone obviously never expected that it would be such a result in the end.

The Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson was also shocked, and she didn't expect that her son would stand up on his own and refuse to be the emperor.

Don't all men want to be emperors? Since ancient times, in order to be the emperor, he did not hesitate to risk killing his head and exterminating the clan, but also rebelled, and the royal brothers did not hesitate to kill each other in order to be the emperor.

But why Li Zhi, the king of Shu? Will they refuse the throne that is within their reach? This is a question that no one, including the Empress Dowager of the Eldest Sun, can understand.

Li Zhonghua couldn't figure it out at first, but then he seemed to have some understanding.

Li Zhonghua has been in Kangding for so many years, but he is not in vain, although he has left Kangding, but his influence in Kangding is still very deep.

Li Zhi was the king of Shu in Shu, and Li Zhonghua certainly paid a little attention to it.

What made Li Zhonghua a little hard to believe was that Li Zhi, the king of Shu, was obsessed with scientific research.

That's right, it's scientific research!

Although Li Zhonghua said that he had transferred most of the talents in Kangding Academy to Jinzhou in Liaodong, he also left some talents who did not want to leave Kangding and continued to do scientific research in Kangding Academy.

Before Li Zhi, the king of Shu, he and Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, stayed in Kangding City for a period of time, and when he studied in Kangding Academy, he had a very strong interest in scientific inventions, and also showed his talent in this area.

After becoming the king of Shu, he lived in Kangding for a long time, and together with the scientific research team in Kangding Academy, he launched an exploration of scientific research.

Therefore, it is understandable that Li Zhi, the king of Shu, refused to be the emperor, and Li Zhonghua is also understandable, after all, a person who likes to do scientific research has a somewhat different personality and makes a different choice, which is completely understandable, and there is no fuss.

The heir to the throne, who everyone was unanimously optimistic about, actually rejected the temptation to be the emperor, and the process of this discussion was blocked, everyone was a little depressed, and there was no way to discuss the rest of the matter.

But the abolition of the current emperor has been unanimously approved by everyone, first abolish the current emperor Li Ke, take back the power, as for who will ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, it is not too late to discuss.

As for the affairs of the court, there are left and right servants, and there is no problem in maintaining the normal operation of the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty.

As for taking back the emperor's power, of course, it temporarily fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Changsun, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, who else could have a higher prestige than the Empress Dowager Changsun.

Even Li Zhonghua, who has always been very conceited, cannot be compared with the eldest grandson Empress Dowager.

Who will become the next emperor in the end, even Li Zhonghua, has no bottom in his heart, Li Zhihui's refusal to be the emperor is completely unexpected by him, and it is a situation that he has never thought about before.

In the palace, Li Zhi, the king of Shu, had a long secret conversation with his mother, the Empress Dowager of Changsun, and no third person knew what they talked about.

History has a striking similarity, that night, the right servant shot Li Tao in accordance with the decree of the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson, secretly dispatched an elite of 3,000 people, entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, quickly controlled the entire palace, and forced the emperor Li Ke to seal the jade seal of succession on the abdication letter prepared in advance.

After that, the officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an City were summoned to the palace overnight, and announced their abdication in public.

As for who the throne was passed on, that position was vacant and had not yet been filled, so not only did Li Ke not know who was going to rebel against him, but it was also unclear who Li Tao was.

Although he knew that Li Zhi, the king of Shu, had already rejected the throne, he really didn't know who the Empress Dowager would decide to let be the emperor after that.

As for guessing who it is, after thinking about it, Li Tao found that those princes in the royal family may or may not be, and it is really not easy to guess!

In terms of prestige, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and Li Daozhong, the king of Jiangxia County, are both good candidates, but they are not Li Shimin's brothers, and they are also old.

Li Shimin has more than 20 brothers, and there are more than a dozen who are still alive, but the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson should not consider letting these people inherit the throne.

Li Shimin himself gave birth to as many as 14 sons, and in addition to those who have died, there are also as many as seven who are still alive.

In addition to Li Zhi, the king of Shu, they were Li Xi, the king of Liang, Li Yun, the king of Jiang, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, Li Shen, the king of Shen, Li Fu, the king of Zhao, and Li Ming, the king of Cao.

In addition to Li Zhi, the king of Shu, Li Xi, the king of Liang, is the younger brother of the current emperor Li Ke's mother, and it is unlikely that the eldest grandson will let him take over the throne, the reason goes without saying, everyone can understand.

The others are not brilliant, if they are allowed to be the emperor, it is better to forcibly let Li Zhi, the king of Shu, be the emperor, or even to maintain the status quo and continue to let the emperor Li Ke continue.

Li Ke didn't know until this time that he had betrayed his relatives and left, and he didn't know who he was forced to abdicate, and he didn't even know why he had come to this point.

"Why? Why is that? You are my right servant, and you are also the minister of the former emperor who left me with his life, why do you force me to abdicate, who gave you the guts. Li Ke pointed at Li Tao and said angrily.

"Your Majesty! The last time you were honored as Your Majesty, from the time you favored a Silla woman surnamed Kim and forcibly named her queen, it was destined that you would have today's fate.

From the moment you began to tolerate the rebellion of the eldest princess of Gaoyang and the bereaved love of the concubine, and involved many innocent people without a lower limit, you are destined to end up now.

If these reasons are not enough, then from the moment you pointed the finger at Li Zhi, the king of Shu, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, you are destined to have your current end. ”

"Why ......?" Li Ke still didn't understand what Li Tao meant by what he said.

"The mother of Li Zhi, the king of Shu, is the eldest grandson of the Empress Dowager." Li Tao shook his head and said, his eyes revealed a kind of disappointment for the emperor Li Ke, and a trace of pity, the emperor sat on his part, it was really sad and lamentable.

"What about Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County?"

"Have you forgotten, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, whose father-in-law is he? Have you forgotten whose help and support you became the crown prince and secured the throne? Do you think that you have already pointed the knife at that person's father-in-law, and that person can still tolerate you and continue to sit on the throne of this emperor? ”

After Li Ke woke up suddenly, he sat on the dragon chair weakly, and at this moment he suddenly realized why he had come to this point?

It's just that his understanding and awakening seem to be a little late.

On the road of life, every step you take needs to be very cautious, time is constantly moving forward, it is impossible to stop for a second, and it is impossible to go back, so life will never give anyone the opportunity to do it all over again.

Under the forcible intervention of Li Zhonghua, Emperor Li Ke's fate has changed dramatically, and as long as he continues to move forward safely, everything will not be a problem.

Unfortunately, he deviated from the right track and drifted away, eventually embarking on a path of self-destruction.
