Zhang Xuan left Wanchun Garden and walked towards Xingqing Palace. Because he walked in the palace, most of his guards stayed outside the palace gate, with only Nan Jiyun and one escort by his side, acting as an entourage.

Zhang Xuan looked up at the sky and saw a round of red sun jumping in the sky, and the warm sunlight sowed down, dispelling the cold air in the sky, "There has been a heavy snowfall in Chang'an for a few days, and there are still traces of snow everywhere in this palace.

But the wind is still northwesterly, and it is bone-chilling. A gust of cold wind blew in, Zhang Xuan subconsciously wrapped his fur cloak tightly and continued to move forward.

The closer it is to Xingqing Palace, the noisier the voices become, and there are more and more eunuchs and palace maids shuttling back and forth on the palace path, and the lines are in a hurry.

However, when I saw Zhang Xuan, I respectfully saw ♀ the palace inside and outside the palace, no one knew it, no one knew it, Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning, was a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person, and his power was sky-high, and no one could compare.

and Zhang Xuanliu are at most second-rate.

At the gate of Xingqing Palace, the palace guards are strictly guarded.

Today's enthronement ceremony is a great matter, and the palace guards naturally attach great importance to it, and they dare not have the slightest neglect ◎ If something goes wrong, no one can afford it.

Zhang Xuan took Nan Jiyun to the palace, and several palace guards hurriedly bowed and saluted, not daring to look up at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan smiled, and when he passed by, he suddenly reached out and patted a guard on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Brothers, have worked hard!" ”

The Su Wei was greatly moved, and hurriedly tǐng straightened his waist and said loudly, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Zhang Xuan walked a few steps, stopped, turned back and asked, "Where is Gongsun You?" ”

Gongsun You was originally the long history of the East Palace Right Guard, because he had not been a vassal Li Yu before, and his unswerving support for Li Heng was appreciated by Li Heng, and he had been used by Li Heng as the head of the palace guard, the General of the Left Palace Guard. At the critical moment when this ceremony is about to be held, as the commander of the Inner Palace Armed Forces and the chief of the shì guard who escorted Li Heng to the throne, Gongsun You did not have a lù face Zhang Xuan felt a little strange.

The guard said loudly, "Back to the prince's words, the little one hasn't seen General Gongsun yet!" ”

Zhang Xuan frowned, but he didn't say anything more, turned his head and strode away.

Looking at the back of Zhang Xuan's departure, the guard looked at the "comrade" standing opposite. "God sè is not to be excited. He is just an ordinary inner palace soldier, and it is already a great honor for him to be able to say a few words to Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning and the marshal of Longshuo who has made great achievements.

Because there were still a few hours before the enthronement ceremony was officially held, the Manchu Dynasty did not arrive.

In the Mingde Palace, only Chen Xian and a few officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy nervously.

Seeing Zhang Xuan come in, Chen Xian smiled loudly and said, "King Yongning!" It's so early! ”

Zhang Qiong also bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness summoned you, and this king has entered the palace ahead of schedule." This enthronement ceremony, everything is complicated and tired! ”

Chen Xian laughed: "The old man should serve the new emperor!" King Yongning, the new emperor is changing clothes in the imperial study at the moment, please go! ”

Zhang Xuan was not polite and walked away.

Outside the imperial study, Li Heng was waiting for a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, trying on the brand-new dragon robe and crown he needed to wear at today's enthronement ceremony.

The power of imperial power lies in the momentum, and the second lies in the crown and clothing shì. Even if it is an ordinary peasant, wearing this dragon robe will add a bit of majesty.

Hearing that Zhang Xuan was coming, Li Heng smiled and instructed the palace maid and eunuch to tidy up the clothes & igrave crown and other things, put them aside, and wait for the time to come before dressing officially. As long as the enthronement ceremony is not held for a moment and the legal ceremony is not completed, Li Heng will not be justified. Especially in a special situation like Li Heng taking over, he had to pay more careful attention.

There is no need to be criticised in such trivial details.

Careful attention to detail is one of Li Heng's great strengths.

And tolerance and soft-heartedness are his second virtue. Of course, in a sense, for an emperor, soft-heartedness is actually synonymous with cowardice, incompetence, and indecision.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Zhang Xuan sang a promise in his mouth, and was about to bow down to worship, but Li Heng grabbed his arm with a smile, "Zizhan, this palace is looking for you, there is something to discuss." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Your Majesty should change his words, there are still a few hours before the enthronement ceremony, Your Majesty must prepare early." ”

"Your Majesty, please."

Li Heng smiled bitterly, "Zizhan, this is not yet an hour, as long as you don't ascend the throne and don't become a courtesy, this palace will never be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this is a courtesy, and it cannot be transgressed." ”

"Okay, let's get down to business∏ in this way, the edict of the Emperor Taishang will be read by you, and the persuasion will be started by Yang Guozhong, what do you think?"

Originally, Li Heng was going to let Zhang Jiyong announce the edict, but later, considering some other factors, Li Heng changed his mind. It can be seen that because of Xue Shufei's favor, the status of Zhang Jiyong and the Zhang family in Li Heng's mind has begun to decline invisibly, but Li Heng may not realize this yet.

In other words, he was not very comfortable letting Zhang Jiyong read it out in public, so he thought of Zhang Xuan. And because of Xue Shufei's relationship, the status of the Yang family has risen a lot, so Yang Guozhong began to rise again.

If it weren't for the slight uneasiness that suddenly arose in Fang Cai's heart, Zhang Xuan would have agreed, ♀ which is a kind of value for the new emperor, and for a subordinate, this is a manifestation of the status of supporting important ministers.

Zhang Pian pondered for a while, and he smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, although the minister is a prince, he is also a marshal of the military horse domain, and it seems inappropriate for the minister to read the edict of the abdication of the emperor." It would be more appropriate for Yang Xiang or Chen Xiang to announce the edict of the Emperor Taishang, and for the ministers to lead the world's feudal towns and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to persuade them, so it would be more appropriate for His Majesty to think twice. ”

When Li Heng heard this, he thought about it for a while, and felt that Zhang Xuan's words were very reasonable, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, that's it, let Yang Guozhong read out the edict of the Emperor Taishang, and Zizhan and Chen Xiang led the ministers to persuade them to enter." ”

In fact, this is the case∨ Xuan is the military commander who controls the soldiers and horses after all, if he announces the edict of the old emperor, it will bring out a trace of the sè color of military seizure of power. If someone maliciously renders, I'm afraid it will really be criticized by Qingliu.

In this way, whether it is for Li Heng or Zhang Xuan, it will not have a good impact.

Zhang Xuan said to Li Heng for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I heard that early this morning, King Sheng, King Shou, King Xin and other princes, Xianyi, Wanchun, Chen, Gaodu, Xinchang and other princesses, went to Xianyang Palace to meet Emperor Taishang, I don't know ....... ”

Zhang Xuany ù stopped talking.

Li Heng smiled disappreciatively when he heard this, "However, for the prince and princess, it is natural for them to visit the emperor, and the palace can't stop it." The filial piety of the Son of Man is understandable, hehe. ”

Zhang Xuan frowned, and said in his heart: They don't visit early or late, they don't choose to visit together when the enthronement ceremony is about to be held, this thing is obviously weird, how can they not guard against it?

As if seeing Zhang Xuan's doubts, Li Heng smiled and said, "King Sheng and others came to the palace to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the palace, and by the way, I went to visit the Emperor Taishang, and I told the palace beforehand." It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! ”

Seeing Zhang Xuan's somewhat self-conscious appearance, Li Heng knew that he was thinking about himself, so he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and added a sentence in harmony, "Zizhan, the Emperor Taishang is now faint and sick, and King Sheng will go back after bowing." ”

There is something in Li Heng's words.

To tell the truth, his own affairs, of course, he was more nervous than anyone else, Wang and the others entered the palace and proposed to visit the old emperor, no matter how reasonable Li Heng was, he couldn't stop it. However, the old emperor's current situation is clearer than anyone else, he is simply paralyzed in Chu áng without any consciousness, even if King Sheng and the others have some different intentions, they are destined to be unable to.

Moreover, the situation in Chang'an was firmly under Li Heng's hands, and he was full of confidence in his heart, and he was not afraid that King Sheng and others would make any trouble.

As long as today's enthronement ceremony is completed and he ascends the throne, even if the old emperor comes to his senses the next moment, it will be useless. He can only be his emperor. Li Heng smiled coldly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth flashed with the cold light of yīn Sen.

It's not that Zhang Xuan doesn't understand this, it's just that he suddenly has an uneasy feeling in his heart, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Meanwhile. Fanyang, Youzhou. Fanyang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Dongping County Palace.

An Lushan, the governor of Fanyang of the Tang Dynasty and the king of Dongping County, received the Tubo prince Chisong Dezan, who fled from Chang'an and quickly absconded to Fanyang under the reception of An Lushan's subordinates, and was the original crown prince of Tubo.

Although in An Lushan's plan, Trisong Dezan is a relatively important chess piece, but despite this, Trisong Dezan is still a small person in the eyes of An Lushan. Therefore, An Lushan did not go out of the house to greet him, but only stood at the entrance of the hall to greet him.

Chi Song Dezan was originally a lost dog, how could he dare to care about these false etiquette in his despair.

"Xiao Wang meets King Anjun! King Anjun's life-saving grace, Xiao Wang is unforgettable! "Chi Song Dezan is a person who can bend and stretch, in order to return to the country and wash away the shame, he can't care about the price of An Lushan's slave and his knees.

Tri Song Detsen paid a big salute.

An Lushan was full of pride, holding high on the top, holding on to his emptiness, and laughed loudly: "Your Royal Highness the prince doesn't need to be polite. When the king heard that His Royal Highness the prince had been wronged in Chang'an Méng, he was imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty on trumped-up charges, and his heart was unhappy. Therefore, he sent people into Beijing to rescue His Royal Highness the prince from Beijing. ”

"Your Royal Highness, please come into the hall and speak." An Lushan turned around to let the guest go, but he took the initiative to walk in front of him ♀, making it clear that he didn't take Chisong Dezan in his eyes.

Actually, it's also normal. Don't say that for such a lost Tubo prince as Chisong Dezan, even in the face of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan dares to put on a show.

An Lushan's arrogance and rudeness looked at Trisong Detsen secretly frowned, but he immediately followed with a smile and a groan, and his demeanor was extremely respectful and humble.
