Under the door of the book.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuan were stunned when they saw the edict sent by the emperor.

Make Li Zhi the crown prince?

Even if His Majesty wants to abolish Chengqian, it will not be the turn of Jin Wangzhi, who is only a few years old, to set up another prince. Li Zhi is the son-in-law, but only the third son-in-law. There is also a Li Tai on top, hasn't King Qin always been very popular with the emperor?

Last year, the emperor wanted to appoint Li Tai.

"Your Majesty, isn't this going to save King Qin?" The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned.

"It has to be able to be saved." Fang Xuanling has been very tired lately.

After Ma Zhou and more than a dozen other prime ministers resigned, the newly filled prime ministers were already a little unsuitable, either too old, or too young and inexperienced.

However, Li Jing and Wei Zheng also went to the prime minister one after another, Li Jing resigned, and Wei Zheng was arrested and imprisoned.

The center is now increasingly lacking important ministers who can stabilize the overall situation.

Li Tai was kidnapped by the eldest princess of Pingyang, and also caught up with Li Ke and Li You.

Whether Li Tai falls into the hands of Pingyang or Cheng Biting Jin, there is actually no difference, it is equivalent to falling into the hands of Zhang Chao.

The emperor killed Zhang Lin, and he insulted the corpse like that, Zhang Chao has now arrested the emperor's three sons, not to mention that he will retaliate and kill them immediately, but at least he will not let them back easily.

Li Tai is indeed the best candidate for the new crown prince, but now in Zhang Chao's hands, the emperor can only appoint his third son Li Zhi.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is five years old this year and seems to be smart, but with such a young child, who knows what it will be like in the future.

"Is this edict going to be passed?"

Fang Xuanling asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji is not only Zhongshu Ling, but also the uncle of Li Tai and Li Zhi, and even the uncle of Cheng Qian.

If something like this has happened now, Cheng Qian will definitely not be able to continue to be the prince. Li Tai, it's a pity, I can only say that this kid's life is not good.

The opportunity to be a prince twice, both times missed.

Last time, the prime ministers were against it.

This time, the prime ministers did not object, but he was robbed by Zhang Chao.

"Pass it, you can't let Cheng Qian be the prince, there is no such thing."

"Okay then."

On the same day, Hankyo issued an edict.

"Abolish Chengqian as a commoner, and establish the king of Jin as the crown prince."

"Dissolve both houses of parliament!"

········

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Up and down Hanjing, public opinion is full of people.

"It seems that there is no possibility of reconciliation."

"How can this be reconciled, the emperor killed Zhang Chao's son."

"How is it the rule of the Jin Dynasty?"

"I heard that Zhang Chao intercepted Qin Wangtai, and on the way to Beijing, they also captured Lanzhou by the way."

"Huh? Wasn't Qin Wangtai sealed in the Western Regions, and didn't Zhang Chao rebel in Guangzhou? How did you rob Lanzhou? ”

"How unsmooth is your news, now it's not Zhang Chao who rebelled, Mo Nan, Yanbei and Longyou, there are more rebels."

·······

The already chaotic and battered Hanjing business community has suffered another major blow. If the parliament is dissolved, then the industrial and commercial members in the National Assembly will naturally be disqualified.

The market was messed up by the imperial court, the money was robbed by the imperial court, and now even the parliament has been dissolved.

Isn't this a return to the past?

It's not even as good as in the past, at least, the money in everyone's hands is still there.

"Dusk, it's better to go south."

A lawmaker scolded angrily at home.

There are many, many people who say that they are going to the south.

"I can't stay here anymore."

"yes, it's hard to do business."

A few relatives who were doing business sat together, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"My workshop has been closed for a long time, there are not enough orders, the cost of materials has increased significantly, and I can't make money from starting work."

"The money I lost on the banknotes this time made me lose all the liquidity in my hands, and I also got into several shops."

"I don't know when the prince will be able to call back, I hope to return to the original as soon as possible."

······

Liangzhou.

Garrisoned in Liangzhou was the general Guo Xiaoke, who took 20,000 soldiers and horses and the young men in the city to defend the city.

Every day is in the middle of a struggle.

He and Cheng under the city are old brothers in Wagang.

At the beginning, they worked together for a long time in the Qin Palace.

Who would have thought that now it has become both offensive and defensive.

"Father, a letter from Hanjing."

Guo Xiaoke's son Guo Zhizhao came in.

"Oh, what news." Guo Xiaoke took it.

After reading it, his face was heavy.

"Your Majesty abolished the position of Prince Chengqian and established King Jin as the crown prince. Also dissolved parliament! ”

"Dissolve the council?" Guo Zhizhao was puzzled, "What does Your Majesty mean by dissolving the parliament at this time?" ”

The Parliament was established to ensure the interests of the aristocracy and the business classes. But what does it mean to dissolve the parliament now?

"Father, did Hanjing send reinforcements?" Guo Zhizhao is more concerned about this.

The city of Liangzhou was besieged by an army of 50,000 people, and it was difficult for them to defend the city with only 20,000 horses. If there were no reinforcements, he was worried that he would not be able to hold on for long.

"Your Majesty only let us hold on, not only did we not have reinforcements, but Your Majesty gave us a death mission, we must defeat the rebels and rescue the three princes."

"Father, why aren't there any reinforcements? What about the reinforcements in Chang'an?"

"Chang'an's reinforcements must defend Chang'an."

"Shit, which decision was made, it's so stupid. If Liangzhou can't be defended, when the rebels capture Liangzhou, they will completely isolate Hexi from Guanzhong, and even they can isolate Hetao. At that time, they divided and surrounded, first seized Hexi, then broke the Hetao, attacked Longyou, surrounded the Western Regions, and the entire northwest, how could they hold the remaining Guanzhong? ”

"The imperial court thinks that we have 20,000, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses are enough to deal with Cheng Yanjin. They think that the government soldiers are stronger than their militia. ”

"Militia? The militia is a ghost, and it is dominated by the Suvi cavalry and the cavalry of Tuyuhun. ”

The more Guo Zhizhao spoke, the more angry he became.

"Let's just vote for the prince."

Guo Xiaoke did not speak.

But he did think about it.

"Dad, I feel that Your Majesty has changed now, and he is no longer the wise and martial emperor of the past. It's the crown prince, who has the demeanor of His Majesty when he was young. With the assistance of King Zhao, he won the support of all walks of life in the world. Nowadays, there are even many nursery rhymes, saying that the prince is welcome, and the prince is coming.

Guo Xiaoke groaned.

"I just heard the news that Li Ji marched south and was defeated at Jiuzhi Mountain."

"Li Ji is defeated?" Guo Zhizhao was surprised.

"I didn't expect Li Ji to lose so quickly, so we have nothing to hesitate about, let's switch to the prince."

Li Ji was only a small setback, but his defeat was indeed surprising. Unexpectedly, the crown prince and King Zhao not only won the hearts of the people, but also did have strong strength. ”

"So what are we waiting for?"

"Da Lang, you quietly go out of the city tonight to meet the eldest princess and your Uncle Cheng and Senior Brother Su. Speaking of which, you also studied with King Zhao at the beginning. Test their attitude, if we can negotiate well, then our father and son will also switch to the crown prince. ”

·······

Under the city of Liangzhou.

Li Tai, the king of Qin, was not abused or anything, and was treated with courtesy along with the other two brothers.

Good food and drink, and an exclusive tent.

But the tent was set up in the middle of the camp, and there were 50,000 rebels outside.

Liu Shili and his 1,000 forbidden cavalry were imprisoned in a prisoner camp far away.

"King Qin, my father will send someone to save us, right?" Li You, the king of Yicheng County, asked in panic.

Li Tai sat there, very calm, but he didn't feel much better.

He is going to be the crown prince, and he will be the emperor in the future, how can he finish playing here.

"Don't worry, there is General Guo Xiaoke in Liangzhou City, this is a fierce general, he will definitely be able to defeat the rebels."

Li Ke, the king of Hanzhong County, walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, and lifted the corner of the tent from time to time to look out. But they only saw groups of soldiers, and if the tent was lifted, there would be soldiers who came directly with spears.

"I think it's difficult, the rebels are 50,000, and General Guo's defense of the city is a little insufficient, if you say that you can defeat the rebels, it is impossible."

Li Tai stared at his brother in disgust.

There was a sound of footsteps.

The tent was lifted.

The eldest princess of Pingyang came in, and there were a few people behind her, including Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang.

"Are you still used to the food in the barracks?" Pingyang swept past the three nephews.

Li Tai and the three stood up uneasily and leaned together.

"Auntie."

"This is Guo Zhizhao, the son of General Guo Xiaoke, who came from Liangzhou City and brought the latest news from Hanjing."

When Li Tai heard this, his fat face blossomed.

"Auntie, did Your Majesty ask someone to pick us up?"

Guo Zhizhao stepped forward.

"King Qin, Your Majesty has just issued an edict a few days ago, and he has officially issued an edict to abolish the position of the crown prince of Cheng Qian."

Li Tai almost jumped up when he heard this.

Li Chengqian was finally deposed, and the new prince must be himself.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to establish King Jin as the new crown prince." Guo Beizhao continued.

Li Tai was stunned.

"Lijin Wang Zhi as the crown prince?"

"It can't be."

"I am the new prince, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is a little child, why should he take the position of my crown prince? Why? ”

Chubby couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, it's his turn to be the crown prince.

Last time, he was stopped by the prime ministers, failed to become the crown prince, and was threatened by Chengqian. This time, it wasn't him.

Why?

Just because I'm fat, is it wrong to be fat? Can't you be a prince if you're fat?

"King Qin, don't you still understand, you have been abandoned by Your Majesty, just as Your Majesty abandoned the King of Hanzhong and the King of Yicheng. In the eyes of His Majesty, the three of you are already dead. ”

"Nope."

Li Tai let out a heart-rending cry, a cry of despair.

"It's all you, if you hadn't intercepted me, I would be the prince of the Tang Dynasty now!" Lee Tae looked like crazy.

Su Dingfang sneered disdainfully.

"King Qin, please calm down. The emperor has already abandoned you, and if you do this again, then it will be worthless for us to keep you. ”

Li Tai stopped growling.

He was angry, but he was still wise.

"King Qin is really a smart person, now, please cooperate with us, show your sincerity, and show your value, then, even if you can't be the prince in the future, you can still keep your position as King Qin in our imperial court."

"What do you want me to do?" Li Tai asked.

"General Guo Xiaoke has raised his banner and officially joined the ranks of the Protector Army, and now Liangzhou City is also ours. Now, we would like to ask the three Highnesses to sign a statement together, announcing the separation of father and son with Your Majesty, announcing that they will officially join the camp of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your elder brother, and protect the new law together. ”
