Chapter 149: The conspiracy of the Spring Festival

The palace of the king.

Today is the New Year, the people of the Si Ning Wangfu are in and out, busy and busy, the lights are colorful, and the outside of the mansion is not much different from other mansions in Chang'an City, and they are all filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.

In Zhang Xuan's view, the Spring Festival customs of the Tang people are not much different from the Spring Festival customs of modern society in his previous life. Before the New Year, people outside should try to rush home in order to reunite with their loved ones.

On the night of the New Year's Day, the whole family also reunited to have a big meal and drink pepper wine to ward off cold and dampness. To drink peppercorn wine is to put peppercorns on a plate and put them in a cup when drinking. After the reunion dinner, the whole family sits around the brazier until dawn, which is called "keeping the New Year".

The so-called "Shou Arong family, the pepper plate has been sung flowers." ”

It is also known as "the end of the feast, pour the pot and wait for the dawn." ”

Or, "Keep watch at the beginning of the night, and keep the fire until the morning." ”

It is written about the scene of the Tang Dynasty people eating reunion dinner and celebrating the New Year during the Spring Festival.

"Qiang Qiang Hua Si Ke Door Pavilion He Xinzheng ......". After the Lunar New Year, the people of the Tang Dynasty also began to visit relatives and friends, and invited each other to feast, which was called "Chuanza".

Although Li Lin, the king of Si Ning, is also a Tang clan, he is not a county of tomorrow after all, but a nephew of the emperor who is separated from each other, and Li Lin only has the position of a doctor of Yin Guanglu, so this Si Ning Wangfu is not a first-class high gate in Chang'an City.

Not only that, because in order to make the emperor's son, Li Lin deliberately kept his light and obscure to avoid arousing the suspicion of the emperor and his tomorrow royal family.

In fact, it is not Li Lin, Li Xian's sons are like this.

And further afield, the descendants of Li Longji's other younger brothers, Li Fan, King of Qi, Li Yuan, King Shen and others, are also low-key. So much so that the figures of these branches of the royal family gradually faded out of the field of vision of Chang'an.

Therefore, when Li Jingzhong, the chief eunuch in the palace, rushed to the Sining Palace, to convey the emperor's secret decree, Li Lin, the king of Sining, felt very frightened.

"Gonggong Li, may I ask Your Majesty to summon the king into the palace, is it ......" Li Lin asked with a smile.

Li Jingzhong smiled, "His Royal Highness King Sining, Your Majesty is urgently summoned, as for why, I really don't know why." The tall general told His Highness to enter the palace to face the saint immediately, and ask His Highness to set off. ”

Li Lin didn't dare to slack off, immediately changed her clothes, and hurriedly entered the palace with Li Jingzhong.

Entering the palace, avoiding the lively and busy eunuchs and palace maids in the palace for the New Year, along a secluded path, Li Lin followed closely behind Li Jingzhong, and entered the imperial study step by step.

Colliers was already waiting outside the door.

"Wang Lilin meets the general!" Li Lin saw Gao Lishi and immediately bowed down.

He, a declining imperial family, faced the first red man around the emperor, but he actually lacked confidence.

Gao Lishi smiled slightly, and stepped forward to help Li Lin up, "His Royal Highness King Sining, please come in, Your Majesty is waiting." ”

The two of them entered the imperial study with their front feet, and Li Jingzhong followed with their back feet.

Gao Lishi glanced back at Li Jingzhong's eyes meaningfully, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Jingzhong, you personally guard the door, and without Your Majesty's permission, no one is allowed to enter for half a step!" ”

Li Jingzhong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said respectfully, "Well, obey the general's orders." ”

Colliers and Li Lin entered the inner room and closed the door tightly.

Li Lin entered the inner room and saw the old emperor Li Longji lying on the sickbed with a withered expression, the corners of his mouth twitching, and his crooked eyes, he was very frightened, and couldn't help but look at Gao Lishi in panic, and immediately bowed silently in front of Li Longji.

Gao Lishi sighed, leaned over and whispered in Li Longji's ear, "Everyone, everyone! His Royal Highness King Si Ning has arrived! ”

After a while, the old emperor's cloudy eyes gradually opened, and there seemed to be a faint glimmer of light.

His lips were up, and his words were slurred.

Gao Lishi approached and listened carefully, and only after a long time did he straighten up and face Li Lin and said softly, "Your Royal Highness King Xining, Your Majesty has been suffering from a stroke for a long time. It's just that the crown prince kept it a secret in order to ensure his status as a prisoner. ”

Li Lin bowed down in fear, and said in her heart, despite this, what does it have to do with so-and-so? What is it necessary to summon a certain family to the palace?

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and in danger. His Majesty advocated the deposition of the crown prince and the establishment of a new monarch, but because His Majesty suddenly fell ill, he had not yet had time to abolish the throne. Gao Lishi lightly, stared at Li Lin and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has decided to pass on the throne to Emperor Rang, and His Royal Highness has outstanding martial virtues, and he has inherited the title of Emperor Rang, and His Majesty is interested in His Royal Highness......"

Li Lin was startled.

Colliers' words were too sudden, too shocking to him.

This is so dignified, the old emperor suddenly wants to pass the throne to himself...... This, this...... Is this true?

Li Lin couldn't believe her ears.

But looking at Colliers' solemn and solemn appearance, it is obviously not a joke. Of course, the inheritance of the throne is a major event, and this kind of joke cannot be made.

Li Lin was flustered, surprised, and a little panicked in her heart, and her time was like numbness, and she didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty's meaning, has Your Highness ever understood?"

Li Lin's slightly shrill voice came from Gao Lishi's ears, and he suddenly looked up at Gao Lishi, his expression was strangely complicated and panicked.

"General, this ...... It's really ......"

"His Royal Highness King Si Ning, the lord of this world was originally to let the emperor belong, and in the past, let the emperor be noble and bright, give way to His Majesty, and Your Majesty always remembers it. Now all the sons of His Majesty are mediocre and incompetent, and His Majesty is worried that the Tang Dynasty will be defeated by others, so he should make a decision and issue a secret edict to inherit the throne to His Royal Highness! In this regard, what else is there for His Highness to wander? ”

Gao Lishi's words were conclusive and impassioned, and Li Lin's heart gradually became lively after listening to it.

The throne is a good tool, since the emperor really has this heart, and he also issued a secret edict to pass on the throne, if Li Lin is not moved, it is absolutely fake.

"...... Lin," the old emperor lying on the sickbed suddenly opened his mouth and shouted vaguely.

Li Lin took a few steps on his knees, stepped forward and lay down in front of Li Longji's couch, "Your Majesty, Minister Li Lin is here!" ”

Li Longji talked too much today and consumed too much energy, so he no longer expressed his meaning to Li Lin. It's just that his trembling hand grabbed Li Lin's hand tightly, conveying some kind of firm determination.

The heat in Li Lin's heart became heavier and heavier.

But Li Lin is not a young man who is enthusiastic after all, as a member of the imperial family who is familiar with the situation in the Tang Dynasty, he deeply understands that even if there is a secret edict from the old emperor, he wants to take the throne from Li Heng, which is almost a fool's dream.

The immortal emperor's secret edict was too sudden and unexpected, and his foundation in the court and the opposition alone was not compared with Li Heng, the prince who had been the prince for more than ten years. And Li Heng now has the strong support of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong controls the imperial court administrative system, and Zhang Xuan is in charge of military power and palace guards.

The cooperation of these two people is enough to turn the sky of Chang'an City.

Why did he, Li Lin, overthrow Li Heng? Just rely on the secret edict of the old emperor in the hand of Gao Lishi?

Although the old emperor is still alive, it is difficult to really explain the role of this situation...... Isn't this paper edict equivalent to a piece of waste paper in Yang Guozhong and Zhang Xuan?

As if seeing Li Lin's worry and confusion, Gao Lishi sighed softly, "Li Heng is powerful and difficult to shake." Your Highness, Your Majesty has also taken into account that this ♀ layer is Your Majesty's secret decree to destroy Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhongβ€”β€”"

"Your Highness can be so ......" Gao Lishi stepped forward and whispered a few words in Li Lin's ear.

Li Lin's face changed suddenly, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said softly with a wry smile, "General, this is ...... Is it done? ”

Gao Lishi smiled indifferently and stared at Li Lin's awe-inspiring gaze, "Your Highness, the so-called wealth is in danger."

This imperial power is within reach, but it depends on His Highness's consideration! ”

"With Your Majesty's two secret edicts, with the echo of the royal family, and a certain family beating the side drum with Your Majesty, let's drum up, and the big thing can be done!"

"To tell the truth, although the more than 1,000 guards in this palace belong to Yu Linwei, in fact, a certain family can also have some right to speak. When His Highness was acting, a certain family immediately ordered someone to block the palace gate and answer His Highness's action......"

Gao Lishi lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty has also summoned His Royal Highness Yuzhen...... With the influence of His Royal Highness Yuzhen in the court and in the royal family, why worry about the big thing? ”

……

Outer hall.

Li Jingzhong tiptoed close to the crack in the door, listening carefully to the sound of conspiracy in the inner room. Although some words were not clear, Li Jingzhong also heard a general idea: the old emperor and Gao Lishi planned to immediately abolish the crown prince Li Heng and replace it with Li Lin, the emperor's son Ningwang Wang Li Lin. In addition, he also issued a secret edict to pass on the throne and a secret decree to destroy Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong.

Li Jingzhong broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and his heart was beating like a rabbit.

Li Jingzhong didn't dare to eavesdrop anymore, and hid at the door of the imperial study, his heart trembled, and he didn't calm down for a long time.

Li Heng's momentum in prison is gradually rising, Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong sing and dominate the power - Li Jingzhong never dreamed that the situation suddenly took a sharp turn, Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong were actually included in the emperor's list of dismissals, and Li Heng was deposed seems to be in an instant!

Will they make it? Li Jingzhong thought about it, and felt that there might be a chance of success, but the chance of failure was even greater.

In this Chang'an City, Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong joined forces to fight three times and four times, even if Li Lin has the support of Gao Lishi and the emperor's secret edict, I am afraid that it will not be able to roll too much storm.

As a big eunuch with a bit of city government and brains, Li Jingzhong also sees the problem far-reaching.

Li Jingzhong once quelled the rebellion from Zhang Xuan and felt deeply about Zhang Xuan's methods. He almost couldn't believe that Zhang Xuan, who was in his hands, would fall into the hands of Li Lin, the king of Xining, who had no foundation.

The joint echo of the royal family? Li Jingzhong sneered in his heart, these wretches of the royal family are counted as {Baidu Tiantang Tie Bar} birds, and Li Wan, the king of Rong, is a person with means and energy, but what is the result? In the end, it was not in the hands of Zhang Xuan.

Li Jingzhong gritted his teeth and hesitated, but finally made up his mind.

Just as Colliers wanted, wealth and danger are sought, this great opportunity to advance is just around the corner, but you can't miss it!

Gao Lis, this time, our family is going to step on the corpse of this old tool!

Thinking of Gao Lishi's arrogance and arrogance over the years, the coldness in Li Jingzhong's eyes became heavier and heavier, almost crazy.
