Changan

On the day that Zhang Xuan led his army to leave Puzhou, Li Heng, the prince of Jianguo, secretly met with Chen Xuanli, the general of the Longwu Left Guard, Chen Xian, the left minister, and Zhang Jiyong, the head of the Tongzhong Shumen, and Zhang Jiyong, the head of the household department, in his study, avoiding Yang Guozhong, the king of Bohai County and the right minister, and Yang Lian, the general of the Longwu Right Guard.

Li Heng sat silently on the front seat with a complicated expression.

He secretly summoned Chen Xuanli and others today, but he walked out of helplessness. At present, because of the sudden natural disaster, the public opinion of the government and the opposition is extremely unfavorable to him, and the other princes have begun to act in the dark, and there are faint signs of threatening his right to inherit the throne.

Chen Xian and the three of them walked into the study and bowed down together, "The ministers and others meet His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison State!" ”

Li Heng let out a long sigh and waved his hand tiredly, "Get up, gentlemen, please take a seat." ”

The three of them sat down separately.

Li Heng's complicated gaze swept over Chen Xian and the three of them, and said softly, "This natural disaster, the government and the opposition have a lot of discussions, and the palace is also restless in his heart, reflecting on his body every day, but since the palace has been in charge of the country, there has been a misdemeanor, which has caused the wrath of the heavens?" ”

"However, the palace has repeatedly introspected, but I feel worthy of my heart≡ my father is sick, this palace is ordered to supervise the country, this palace has never slacked off for a day, I dare not protect the country and the people, I have contributed to the society, but I dare not make any mistakes. Li Heng's voice slowly became agitated and angry, "But some people have aimed the spearhead at the main palace, and they have deducted a basin of dirty water on the head of the main palace, it is the immorality and incompetence of the main palace, this is simply too deceitful, how can it be reasonable!" ”

"Excuse me, my lords, what should this palace do?!" ”

Li Heng's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little, which showed the emotion in his heart.

Chen Xian was silent.

Zhang Jiyong hesitated for a moment, and said loudly, "Your Highness's martial arts are enough to support Sheji, and since the imprisonment of the country, the implementation of benevolent government is obvious to all, and everyone in the world knows it. ”

, "This natural disaster is purely accidental" Your Highness does not need to blame himself! ”

Chen Xian immediately took over the conversation and said, "Your Highness, what Lord Zhang said is extremely true. In the opinion of the old minister, His Royal Highness has a clear conscience, and there is no need to worry too much. As for some rumors, in time, they will be self-defeating. ”

Li Heng smiled bitterly, "It's not easy to talk about. Although the palace has a clear conscience, there are people who are stupid and stupid, and there is a faint posture to become the second Rong King! This is forcing Hongu with a soft knife......"

Chen Xian was immediately silent. He understood that Li Heng was the royal family of tomorrow, such as King Sheng Li Qi and Princess Xianyi. At present, the remaining dozen or so princes of the old emperor Li Longji have united, made friends with ministers in the dark, cultivated power, and had the posture of supporting and electing Li Qi, the king of Sheng, as the crown prince. Although it is only a symptom, it has not yet been put into action, but it is very sensitive to Li Henglai, which is already an invisible pressure.

Since Li Heng became the crown prince, it is not the first time that such invisible pressure has been encountered. Although every time he was lucky, bad luck always surrounded him like this, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined.

Chen Xuanli slowly raised his head, his expression a little transformed. But in an instant, he became extremely resolute and decisive.

He got up and bowed to Li Heng, "Your Highness, the minister has a few heartfelt words, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

，“。 ”

"If Your Highness is rude and transgressive in what the minister says, please forgive your Highness." ”

Chen Xuanli straightened up abruptly, and his waist was straight. He said loudly, "Your Highness has only been in charge of the country for more than a few months, even if this natural disaster is a warning from heaven, it has nothing to do with the immorality of the imperial court, why should Your Highness be so disturbed?" ”

As soon as Chen Xuanli said this, Chen Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flame rose but immediately covered it up and extinguished it.

And Zhang Jiyong twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in his heart that Chen Xuanli's words were serious, and he was not afraid of causing death.

Heaven warns that the court is immoral, and it has nothing to do with Li Heng, that is, it has something to do with the old emperor. Although the old emperor is currently paralyzed in bed, it is not something that a courtier can criticize at will.

Li Heng frowned, and wanted to say a few words to Chen Xuanli, but he was silent.

"I beg your pardon for being bold. Chen Xuanli gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that he would not stop doing anything, seeking wealth and danger, and he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, so he let it go this time.

Chen Xuanli bowed down and bowed to the ground" "The minister risked his death to admonish the heavens to warn and show that the court was immoral,

The court should introspect itself. And His Majesty himself also committed an edict at the moment, and at the same time ceded the throne to His Royal Highness in order to calm the chaos in the world and soothe the hearts of the people. ”

When Chen Xian heard this, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he suddenly looked up at Chen Xuanli, his eyes were extremely shocked.

Zhang Jiyong glanced at Chen Xuanli with unbelievable eyes, opened his mouth, and his face became pale.

Chen Xuanli's courage was too great, and he dared to rebel so much to make the prince ...... This is equivalent to forcing the old emperor to abdicate in disguise!

Li Heng's whole body was shocked, Huo Ran got up and scolded angrily, "Chen Xuanli, what a big guts!"

If you are so rebellious, you dare to come out in front of this palace.! Come on, take Chen Xuanli to the palace! ”

Chen Xuanli was not afraid, suddenly kowtowed to the ground, choked up and said generously......Your Highness, the loyalty of the ministers can be seen every day." The ministers have no disagreement with His Royal Highness. The minister risked death to admonish, for His Royal Highness, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the pimple of all the people in the world! ”

, "Your Majesty is sick in bed, and he can't refrain from acting state affairs, and His Royal Highness will be in charge of the country for a long time, and his name is not right."

Now that there is chaos inside and outside the court, if His Royal Highness does not take the opportunity to make a decision, then the Tang Society is in danger! ”

Chen Xuanli slammed his head, his forehead covered with blood.

Blood trailed down his forehead, making his face even more eerie.

, "Your Highness, the minister is loyal, please think twice!" Even if the minister dies, he will not regret it! ”

Li Heng's eyes flickered, in fact, he wasn't really angry, he was just pretending. Chen Xuanli's words hit his heart, and he didn't think about it. It's just that this kind of thing needs to be promoted and persuaded by his subordinates, and what he needs is a person like Chen Xuanli who risks death to lose his arm and "speak uprightly".

Li Heng sat down slowly, sighed and said, "That's it, Chen Xuanli, it's not strange that this palace knows a piece of sincerity." It's just that this kind of thing is never mentioned again. As long as the father is alive for one day, the palace will resolutely not do such a rebellious thing! ”

Zhang Jiyong's eyes flickered, and he resolutely knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that what General Chen said is very true. His Highness is the prince of a country, and he has overseen the country. His Majesty is seriously ill, and it is reasonable for Chan to let the emperor be placed in His Royal Highness. ”

Li Heng was silent, but his gaze quietly swept Chen Xian's eyes.

Chen Xian's heart trembled, and he secretly said in his heart, this matter is eighty percent of the prince's appointment with Chen Xuanli,

The result of Zhang Jiyong's conspiracy, since this is the case, if the old man does not agree with it, I am afraid that it will arouse Li Heng's suspicion.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Xian did not hesitate and knelt down, "Your Highness, the old minister seconded the proposal."

The old minister will lead the ministers to write a letter, persuading His Majesty to abdicate, issue an edict for his own sin, and let the emperor be located in His Royal Highness! ”

Li Heng was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was hesitant. He said softly, "The kindness of all the adults, this palace understands it. It's just that this matter needs to be thought out slowly, and it can't be rushed. Chen Xiang is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he does things safely, and he will not fall into the palace in injustice."

Chen Xian sighed in his heart, and then he understood that Li Heng was already determined to take the throne this time, and he couldn't wait for the old emperor to die in his last breath. In that case, why should he be a wicked man again?

He pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that His Highness will immediately engrave the East Palace of Xingqing Palace, and he will not be able to live for a long time. ”

Li Heng was silent for a moment, and nodded his head, "Yes, according to what Chen Xiang said." ”

The sky in Chang'an City is about to change again.

When he left the palace, Chen Xian sat in the carriage and sighed and went straight to Yang Guozhong's mansion.

He was ordered by Li Heng to go to Yang Guozhong to make peace with Yang Guozhong and "negotiate" to win Yang Guozhong's support. You must know that if this matter is not vigorously helped by Yang Guozhong, it will encounter great obstacles.

As long as Yang Guozhong is the head, there will be no big problem for Li Heng to take the throne.

Li Heng's hole card to Chen Xian was that if Yang Guozhong was willing to support him, after he ascended the throne, he promised to crown Yang Guozhong as the Taifu and the king of Anguo County, and at the same time give his daughter Yanguang to Yang Guozhong's eldest son Yang Xun.

Yes, this is already the limit of the favor that an emperor can bestow on his subordinates.

If Yang Guozhong is still not satisfied, he can only change the dynasty and let Yang Guozhong be the emperor.

After Chen Xian left, Li Heng looked up at Chen Xuanli, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Xuanli, the defense of Chang'an must be firmly controlled recently, and there must be no mistakes. "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers should do their best to maintain the stability of Changping." Chen Xuanli agreed with emotion, and his heart became excited.

As long as Li Heng ascends to the throne, he will be an important minister with great merits, and his power will reach its peak, and he will directly suppress Yang Lian.

Zhang Jiyong hesitated for a moment, and suddenly interjected, "Your Highness, the minister still has this poison. ”

，“。 Li Heng glanced at Zhang Jiyong.

, "Your Highness, the minister has received a report that it is the Metropolitan Governor of Longshuo who led the army to reroute to Fanyang and make a detour.

In this way, not only does it consume too much money and food for the imperial court, but it also disturbs the premises, which is not a crime. Zhang Jiyong bowed and said.

Li Heng was stunned, frowned, and said, "Why did Zhang Xuan want to go around Fan Yang?" What does he mean this is? ”

"I don't know. However, the ministers listened to Zhang Xuan's slow march all the way, and he was wanton everywhere he went, and it became a hidden danger to connive at the soldiers to attack and disturb the prefectures and counties where he went. Zhang Jiyong said softly.

Li Heng's brows furrowed even tighter, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Pass on the edict of the palace, quickly order Zhang Xuan to speed up the march, and not to disturb the premises, and not to delay the important affairs of Tang Fan and his relatives!" ”

Zhang Jiyong was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately received the order to go with Chen Xuanli.

Li Heng looked at the backs of Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli leaving, and his face slowly became excited.

Compared with the major event of his imminent ascension to the throne, the route of Zhang Xuan's military horses is insignificant at all
