The soldiers of the three armies were overjoyed, Lan Xinhe and Xiao Chu hurriedly summoned military doctors to treat Li Chun's injuries, and Li Dingjin ordered people to find the imperial doctors to treat Li Wei's injuries in a pool of blood.

The essence of the Imperial Doctor's Office was lying on his stomach in the Huining Hall at the moment, and when Li Chun broke into the palace, all the imperial doctors scattered with the palace maids and eunuchs to hide, and they were huddled in the corner of the palace trembling at this moment.

Li Wei was stabbed in more than 30 places, but fortunately, the people who injured him showed mercy and did not hurt his vital point, although so, the injury was actually extremely serious, if it weren't for the essence of the Imperial Medical Department here, go all out, I am afraid that I would have already died.

During the reign of Li Shi, he was in charge of the privy council as a confidant eunuch, and he accepted the performance and conveyed the emperor's order to the Zhongshu door, which was called the privy secret, also known as the privy envoy, with uncertain posts and two permanent members. At the end of the Zhen Yuan Dynasty, Ju Wenzhen served as the sole privy envoy, and after Li Shi was critically ill, Li Zhongyan was also known as the privy envoy of the Shaoyang Academy, but the real power was still in the hands of Ju Wenzhen.

Now that Ju Wenzhen has been killed, many things must be done by Li Zhongyan, Li Mao ordered Qingmo to go to Shaoyang Courtyard to pick up Li Zhongyan, Qingmo was just about to leave, but was stopped by Li Chun. Li Chun pointed to the passage of the Mo Qi God: "This righteous man, you go." ”

Li Mao didn't understand what Li Chun meant, the matter was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he ordered Mo Qi's supernatural power to pick up people.

Li Zhongyan was appointed to take charge of the Shaoyang Courtyard and guardian the crown prince Li Yu, which won Li Shi's favor. After twenty years of ups and downs in the sea, Li Zhongyan has already cultivated a delicate and clear heart, and when he saw that there was a beard on his lips, he knew that the battle between Li Yu and Li Yi had now been divided.

The destiny of heaven has been decided, who dares to disobey? He took the initiative to say to Mo Qishentong: "The emperor is critically ill, the situation is turbulent, the most important thing at the moment is to prepare an edict to help the crown prince succeed to the throne. ”

Seeing Li Chun, Li Zhongyan said with some flattery: "Emperor Bintian, according to the rules, the crown prince should succeed to the throne, this is the law of the ancestors." The country cannot be without a king for a day, please King Guangling immediately enter the Shaoyang Courtyard to persuade the crown prince to ascend the throne. ”

Li Chun said: "Urging the crown prince to ascend the throne should have the emperor's edict." ”

Li Zhongyan said: "Summoning a trustworthy Hanlin scholar to come over to draw up the will, and when it is ready, the red brush strokes can be completed." ”

Li Weigang was rescued by the imperial doctor, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "The Son of Heaven has been in the sky, how can you draw with a red brush?" ”

He was covered in wounds, and the excitement touched the wounds, and he grinned in pain.

Li Zhongyan said: "When everyone was alive, they told the ministers more than once that they would leave a testament, so as not to rush in the future, but the ministers were confused, and they always thought it was too early. Xiao Chen's thoughts about passing on the throne to the crown prince are the clearest, why should he care about the birth of an edict, sure enough, his old man has a spirit in the sky, and he will understand the difficulties of his children and grandchildren. ”

Li Chun asked: "Which one of the Hanlin has the best writing?" ”

Li Mao and Li Zhongyan bowed their heads and did not answer, among the Hanlin Bachelors, Qingmo was the most familiar with Wei Zhiyi, and blurted out: "Bachelor Wei has the best writing and is also cautious." ”

Li Chun nodded and said, "Then summon Wei Zhiyi to come and draft the edict." ”

Li Zhongyan answered, looked up at Qingmo, and was about to walk away, Li Chun suddenly said: "Wait." ”

……

At dusk on this day, Wei Cigong, Zheng Qi, Li Cheng, Wang Ya, Wei Zhiyi, and others were called to the Jinluan Hall to wait, and the Son of Heaven was seriously ill, and everyone knew what they were doing here.

From entering the palace in the afternoon until late at night, everyone was only frightened, and repeatedly urged to see the privy envoy on duty, Ju Wenzhen, who never showed up, but waited for Liu Guangqi, the deputy envoy of the flying dragon.

The Flying Dragon Envoy and the Flying Dragon Deputy Envoy are all confidants and eunuchs favored by the Son of Heaven, and everyone is not surprised that Liu Guangqi appears here.

Everyone surrounded Liu Guangqi and eagerly asked him about the Son of Heaven's condition.

Liu Guangqi shook his head, sighed, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears. Everyone was shocked, some people wept, some people cried bitterly, only Wei Zhiyi, a scholar from Hanlin, asked: "Is there an edict, who will inherit the unification?" ”

Liu Guangqi said: "Everyone is anxious about this matter, if the prince's benevolence is nothing to say, but how can this sick and disabled body govern hundreds of millions of people in the world." ”

Liu Guangqi said this, pinched the handkerchief and wiped away his tears again. Wiping his tears was just a cover, in fact, he was peeking at the reaction of the crowd. The scholars looked at each other, bowed their heads and were silent.

Liu Guangqi's heart seemed to be boiling out of the oil pot, and his heart ached:

It is also acceptable for everyone to see that Li Yi, the king of Shu, will inherit the unification, if Ju Wenzhen's plan succeeds, the Tang Dynasty will be a different tomorrow.

In this inner palace competition, he Liu Guangqi was originally a neutral faction who did not help at both ends, but he couldn't withstand the temptation of power, and he was included in the crown prince's camp with Li Chun's way halfway.

Liu Guangqi was secretly rejoicing there, when suddenly a person came out of the crowd and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." ”

When he saw it, it was Wei Cigong, a scholar from Hanlin, and Wei Cigong argued with reason: "Although the prince has a disease, he is a long-term heir, and he belongs to China and foreign countries. As a last resort, the king of Guangling should also be established. How could it be that at this moment, the position of the great unification is still uncertain? ”

Liu Guangqi ate this top, but he didn't mind in the slightest, he was ordered to come this time to help Li Chun, the king of Guangling, test the attitude of the scholars towards the abolition of the prince. Wei Cigong openly opposed King Shu's accession to the throne, and his courage was commendable, and his people were available.

Seeing that Liu Guangqi was silent, Wei Cigong's voice became louder and louder: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, the Son of Heaven dies, and the crown prince should succeed him. We are waiting for the world to receive the emperor's favor, in the face of this great right and wrong, how can we be at both ends of the rat and be ambiguous? ”

Even called on both sides, but the scholars were still silent. Wei Cigong laughed unconsciously, and said continuously: "You are waiting for such a righteous and profit-seeking situation, Wei Cigong is really blind, and he is in the company of your group." ”

Wei Cigong flicked his sleeves out of the Jinluan Palace, and was stopped under the dripping eaves by a young warrior with a golden belt on his arm, the warrior had a round baby face, and his face was full of smiles, and he bowed down and said, "Master Wei, come with me." ”

Wei Cigong was surprised: "Who are you?" ”

The warrior grinned and said, "What, you're afraid of me?" ”

Wei Cigong snorted, grabbed the road and wanted to walk away, but was grabbed by the samurai and led to the Huining Palace.

When he arrived at the Huining Palace, Wei Cigong learned that the Son of Heaven was critically ill, and he didn't feel it crying. Li Zhongyan persuaded: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, when it is difficult, please Mr. draft an edict as soon as possible to determine the overall situation." ”

Wei Cigong hurriedly wiped away his tears and asked, "Who will the Son of Heaven set up to inherit the unification?" Li Zhongyan said: "How can Mr. ask this, he is the crown prince who has returned to the hearts of all the people." Wei Cigong was overjoyed, sat in front of the bookcase, and wrote the manuscript.

After Li Shi became seriously ill, he expected that there would be this day, and this edict had already been drafted, and it was done at this moment, without any hindrance. The book was completed and presented to Li Zhongyan, who turned around and entered the Huining Palace.

Without a will, Wei Cigong could only kneel outside the hall.

Li Zhongyan handed over the proposed edict to Li Chun, and Li Chun, Li Mao, and Li Wei inspected it and found nothing wrong.

Li Zhongyan urged Li Chun to "ask for advice" from Li Shi.

Li Chun held the edict in his hand, knelt in front of Li Shi's body, and said with tears: "In the past, everyone praised me as the third son of heaven, then my father and emperor are the son of today, which is related to the prosperity and decline of the society, and I pray to the saint to take it." ”

Words are sad and weeping, and they can't support it.

Qingmo dipped the wolf pen in red and handed it to Li Mao, Li Mao turned the wolf and stuffed it into Li Shi's hand, Li Shi's fingers were already stiff, and he couldn't "hold" the pen, Li Zhongyan hurriedly beckoned the little eunuch to bring hot water, and used a hot towel to soften Li Shi's fingers, so that he could barely hold the pen.

Qingmo half-knelt on the ground, and Li Wei held the edict at one end, and Li Zhongyan held Li Shi's hand and "drawn" a word on it.

The Zhu pen was completed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent someone to call Fu Baolang to use the jade treasure.

Fu Baolang had already been detained in the palace, holding the jade seal box stubbornly shrunk into a ball, Qingmo asked him to use the treasure, he insisted on screening the authenticity of the edict, and was kicked over by Qingmo and snatched the seal box.

The seal box was placed in front of Li Chun, but Li Chun couldn't move because of grief and tears; Li Wei covered his mouth and coughed, as if he was about to lose his breath when he moved; Li Zhongyan lay on the ground, raised his hips high, and didn't even show his face.

After a stalemate, Li Mao opened the seal box, took the jade seal in his hand, and covered it on the edict.

The matter has been completed, Li Mao helped Li Chun up, and persuaded: "There are many henchmen in Ju Wenzhen, and the fifth Shouliang is still in the army, so he should quickly urge the crown prince to move to Taiji Palace in case of accidents." ”

Li Zhongyan said: "Taiji Palace is the closest to the right army, so it is better to go to Nannei." ”

Li Chun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked Li Mao, "What should happen here?" ”

Li Mao said: "Wait for the prince to enter the Taiji Palace safely, and then announce it to the world." ”

Li Chun wiped away his tears, pointed at Liu Guangqi and said, "This is handed over to you, you must dispose of it properly." ”

Liu Guangqi was overjoyed, he changed his court for less than a month, and he had to be so reused, which is really a bright future.

Li Mao ordered Qingmo and Mo Qi Shentong to escort Li Yi, the king of Shu, and the group surrounded the privy envoy Li Zhongyan to go to the Shaoyang Courtyard to announce the decree, the Shaoyang Courtyard was heavily guarded, and the deputy envoy of the Shaoyang Courtyard and the regular attendant Tu Chengxuan held a big stick to guard the courtyard, and behind him were the twenty brave eunuchs he temporarily selected.

Hearing that it was Li Chun who knocked on the door, he suddenly vomited and was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

Everyone went all the way to Li Yu's dormitory, Li Yu had suffered a stroke at the moment, his body couldn't move, and he couldn't speak.

After Li Zhongyan read out the edict, Li Yu couldn't stop crying, and everyone tried hard to comfort him, but the prince was still in pain, and he was so sad that he fainted.

Li Mao repeatedly urged to leave Shaoyang Courtyard, for fear of an accident, he did not dare to use the prince's guard of honor, Qingmo and Mo Qi Shen general flagpole temporarily tied into a stretcher, took off Li Chen's robe, took advantage of the night out of Zhaoqing Gate, crossed Guangfan Gate, walked through the West Inner Garden, and entered the Taiji Palace from Xuanwu Gate.

The road was not embarrassing, the sky was dark, and I didn't dare to play the lantern, so I hurried in the dark, and people kept falling behind. When he arrived at Taiji Palace, Li Mao counted the number of people, and only the crown prince Li Yu remained, two small eunuchs carrying stretchers, Li Chun and Li Zhongyan, Tutu Chengxuan, Mo Qi Shentong and Shu Wang Li Yi.

The rest of the guards and accompanying eunuchs were scattered, and even Li Wei and Qingmo, the kings of Yangchuan, did not know where to go. (Dissertation College)
