Chapter 413: Li Yu, who was approaching the city, abdicated
Just when everyone thought that Wang Jiong was about to be killed by Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan suddenly became cold
"I don't think you have any malice, you are a scholar, you don't do anything for yourself when you are impulsive, if you dare to speak wildly again, you will be killed!"
"Someone, take Wang Jiong down!"
Nan Jiyun shouted violently, and several soldiers stepped forward and "brought" Wang Jiong, who was still about to open his mouth to argue.
A storm turned invisible.
Ge Shuhan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Zhang Xuan was angry, he would be full of blood in Chang'an, and even Tang Chen would even be killed.
Zhang Xuan doesn't mean much. Not only will he leave a name for brutality, but he will also have a head-on conflict with many gate valve families. Now that Zhang Xuan has not fully controlled the situation in the world, it is very crucial to win the support of the Shi clan gatekeepers.
Zhang Xuan will not lose a big one because of a small one.
It's just that Zhang Xuan is thinking about what Wang Jiong did today at this moment, whether it was his personal impulse, or whether he was being coaxed by others, and even the manipulation of the Shi clan behind his back.
The former is not to be worried: the latter is a bit complicated.
"The lord is magnanimous and merciful, long live my lord, long live!"
Ge Shuhan, Yang Guozhong and others led the ministers to kneel on the ground and shouted loudly.
Those few people in the Wang clan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they kept kowtowing again and again.
Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently and waved
"Alright, let's go to town!"
Among the eighteen iron guards, one person led Zhang Xuan's war horse, Zhang Xuan turned over his horse and took the lead in galloping towards the city.
In the Imperial City.
Including Emperor Taishang Li Heng and Emperor Li Yu, all the people in the direct royal family gathered in the Mingde Hall of Xingqing Palace, and there were many concubines of Li Heng and Li Yu in the palace, and the families of many of Li Heng's children.
Of course, the children of the old emperor Li Longji, such as Princess Xianyi, and the royal relatives and nobles who were far away, were closed behind closed doors and anxiously waiting for the tragic fate of the imminent collapse of Li Tang.
Li Heng had fallen into a semi-comatose state, sitting there, looking like he was demented, and the excessive shock coupled with the deep fear and despair in his heart made it difficult for him to control his mind anymore.
Li Yu sat behind the dragon case with a pale face and looked down at the abdication edict drawn up by Yang Guozhong and others on the table, the corners of his mouth twitched, his shoulders trembled slightly, and next to the abdication edict was the emperor's jade seal, as long as the abdication edict was stamped with the jade seal, it could be released to the world, and this also announced the end of the Tang Dynasty and the end of the Li Tang royal family.
Li Qi and other Li Heng's children sat on both sides, their faces gloomy and silent.
The eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen stumbled into the hall and trembled
"Your Majesty, Emperor Zhang Xuan has entered the city and is coming to the imperial city!"
Li Yu was suddenly shocked and looked at Cheng Yuanzhen.
Li Qi Huoran got up and said in a deep voice
"So fast?"
Cheng Yuanzhen nodded silently.
Li Qi sat back weakly, hiding his face and sighing.
Li Yu raised his hand, trembling, and slowly grabbed the jade seal tentatively.
He finally grabbed the jade seal and squeezed it tightly, but it was as if he was holding something and couldn't move.
All the direct royal family members are Li Yu's relatives, and the most core members of the Li Tang royal family looked at Li Yu's hand with complicated eyes, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Li Yu's forehead.
Li Yu knew in his heart that as long as the jade seal was covered, the Tang Dynasty would be completely destroyed, and he would become the king of the dead country. But if he doesn't know the current affairs and issues an abdication edict, I'm afraid that none of the royal families present can escape Zhang Xuan's thunderous means.
In fact, whether there is such an abdication edict or not, for Zhang Xuan, it does not matter: for Li Yu, it is a bit crucial. Surrendering the throne peacefully, he can still lose his life and even obtain the title of King of Tang. And in the end, hard anger can only be a matter of losing your head.
Li Yu gritted his teeth, grabbed the jade seal fiercely, and was about to cover the abdication edict.
"No! Son! You are going to ruin the great country that my ancestors founded..."Li Heng suddenly stood up, raised his hand and pointed at Li Yu, tears in his eyes, and his body trembled.
"It's all you, if it weren't for you, why would my Datang be so ......, you are a sinner of my Datang royal family!" Lee Hyung roared hysterically.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily
"Enough! It's your father, you are mediocre, listen to slander, and force Zhang Xuan to rebel, what do you have to do with me? In your opinion, it is nothing more than escaping from Chang'an, but what about escaping to Shuzhong? Xun Yan was breathing for a while, and it was even more funny for the subjects of the world! β
Li Yu was furious and slammed the jade seal
"It's come to this, what can I do if I don't abdicate? Let Zhang Xuan take a knife across my neck and cut off my head with a knife? And then kill them all one by one, this is what you are looking forward to, father? β
Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and actually collapsed to the ground, crying loudly.
And many of his sons and daughters and concubines also fell to the ground crying, and the palace was in chaos.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense and powerful footsteps at the entrance of the temple, as well as the sound of the soldiers marching in order.
Li Yu let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and knew that it was Zhang Xuan's people who had entered the palace.
Sure enough, a moment later, Yang Guozhong and a majestic general in armor walked into the hall one after the other, and the two were followed by dozens of fierce Longshuo soldiers, who were obviously different from the palace forbidden guards or Jingshi Yulin guards in the palace.
Li Qi glanced at it, sighed in his heart, and lowered his head. He recognized this general, this is Zhang Xuan's confidant and favorite general, Nan Jiyun, the general of the Shence Army, known as the god of arrows in the army, known as Nanba.
Yang Guozhong and Nan Jiyun stood in the hall and looked around at everyone.
Ahem!
Yang Guozhong coughed lightly twice, and the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen suddenly rushed over from the side, picked up the abdication edict on Li Yu's desk, and respectfully dedicated it to Nan Jiyun, flattering
"General Nanda, this is the emperor's edict of abdication!"
Li Yu was furious, but he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, helpless.
He is already a dragon swimming in shallow water and being played by shrimp, and a tiger falling in Pingyang is bullied by dogs, what else do you have to say?
Nan Jiyun took the edict and nodded slightly. He turned his head and clenched his fist at Yang Guozhong
"Yang Xiang, since the edict is in hand, please ask Yang Xiang to lead the ministers to persuade him."
Yang Guozhong smiled slightly and returned the salute with his fists
"That's right. General Nanda went to greet the lord first, and Yang summoned the ministers with an edict, and asked the lord to get ready, and Linde Hall ascended the dragon throne! β
Nan Jiyun nodded, turned around and left.
Yang Guozhong sighed slightly, glanced at everyone, and wanted to turn around and leave.
What to do with the direct royal family of Li Tang in this full hall, no one can say anything, only wait for Zhang Xuan to make his own decision after he ascends the throne and becomes emperor.
Yang Guozhong was just about to leave, but he heard Li Qi's gloomy voice
"Yang Xiang, I don't know what you are going to do with us?"
Yang Guozhong smiled lightly, glanced at Li Qi, and hugged his fists
"This is still up to the new emperor to decide, Yang doesn't know."
Li Qi was silent.
Yang Guozhong smiled again, turned around and walked away.
Li Qi stomped his feet angrily and strode out of the hall, but when he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he found that the entire Mingde Hall and even Xingqing Palace were guarded by soldiers and heavily guarded. As soon as he probed, a lieutenant lieutenant snorted coldly
"According to my lord's edict, no one is allowed to leave the Mingde Hall for half a step!"
Li Qi was helpless and retreated.
When he returned to the hall, he heard that several of Li Heng's concubines were still sobbing and crying, and Li Qi roared irritably
"Why the hell are you crying? Crying and mourning? Shut up Lao Tzu! Shut up! β
After Zhang Xuan entered the city, surrounded by all the ministers, he directly entered the imperial city and went straight to the deep palace.
And Nan Jiyun's 10,000 divine army entered Chang'an City at the same time, controlling Chang'an City and the Imperial City Palace. As for the tens of thousands of people in Geshuhan, they have long since moved out of the city.
Zhang Xuan stood outside Xingqing Palace, Nan Jiyun hurriedly arrived, whispered a few words in his ear⨠Xuan nodded, and led everyone to Linde Palace.
Tang Emperor Li Yu's edict of abdication has been widely publicized and released to the world. Next, Zhang Xuan will immediately ascend the throne as emperor, truly build a new dynasty of his own, and open up an unprecedented new era.
Originally, Yang Guozhong and others discussed that they would choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to hold a grand enthronement ceremony, but Zhang Xuan did not agree. He has no intention of setting the capital of Chang'an, he wants to set the capital of Luoyang, and his ascension to the throne in Chang'an is just to justify his name and stabilize the world.
Yang Guozhong discussed with a cadre of Wenchen for a long time, and decided to support Zhang Xuan as emperor at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and reported to Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan agreed.
That night, Zhang Xuan lived in Xingqing Palace, Wanchun Garden, where Wanchun originally lived.
Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Guozhong led his ministers to start the enthronement ceremony of Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan quietly went out of the palace to Chen Xian's mansion with more than 100 escorts.
Although Chen Xian resigned and lived in seclusion, the Tang Emperor abdicated and Zhang Xuan entered the city to prepare to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
Zhang Xuan stood outside the door of Chen Xian's mansion, and when he saw that the door was closed, he couldn't help but smile.
He stepped forward and grabbed the knocker and knocked it three times.
After a while, the voice of a subordinate was heard
"Who? My lord is closed and doesn't see any outsiders, so please go back. β
"Please tell Chen Xiang, just say that Zhang Xuan wants to see him." Zhang Xuan said lightly.
The subordinates inside were stunned, and then they were shocked, and immediately opened the door and knelt down
"The villain greets ......, and greets Your Majesty!"
Zhang Xuan glanced at him and smiled
"Don't be polite, go and inform Chen Xiang, just say I'm here."
The subordinate got up and ran to the backyard, and after a while, Chen Xian hurriedly ran over in a big hat, saw Zhang Xuan, hesitated slightly, and bowed
"Grass people Chen Xian greets Your Majesty!"
Zhang Xuan laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xian's arm
"Chen Xiang, please get up, I came here today, don't be surprised."
"The grass people don't dare." Chen Xiancheng was terrified and hugged his fists.
