After a night's rest, Li Jingsui's spirits were much better, and he had many questions about the coup. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Jingsui is a little cowardly, but it doesn't mean that he is mediocre and can't figure things out. After his panicked heart calmed down, he found too many suspicious points.

First of all, the assassinated Yang Lian was not the real Yang Lian, but the person who cut off his head, and even Li Hongji, the imperial brother and others, did not notice it, which proves that the ghost who died is very similar to Yang Lian, or that he was disguised, and it is almost impossible to see the clues. It's almost impossible to find someone who looks exactly the same, which means that the ghost is ready for the dead.

In other words, Yang Lian had anticipated these things for a long time, so he made arrangements in advance, if so, this coup would not be so simple. Li Jingsui suddenly felt a little chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about it. If the facts are as he guessed, it goes without saying what his status is when the Li family is completely killed and wounded.

Could it be that the Tang Dynasty will be the second Yang Wu court? In just a dozen years, it will be replaced? Li Jingsui's face was cloudy.

At this time, a eunuch walked in and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the civil and military officials are already waiting in the Guangqing Palace." ”

Li Jingsui nodded and slowly stood up, if this was really the case, would he really be a puppet at the mercy of others?

Yang Lian walked in quickly, saw Li Jing with a pensive look, arched his hand, and said, "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Jing's body was shocked, and he saw clearly that it was Yang Lian, coughed lightly, adjusted his mood, and said, "Wu Hou, it turned out to be you." ”

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the ministers are already waiting, just hoping that Your Majesty can preside over the overall situation." Yang Lian said.

Li Jingsui was silent for a while, and there were some things he wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask. Several little eunuchs came up, sorted out Li Jingsui's clothes, and under the leadership of Gao Ze, walked towards Guangqing Palace.

In the Guangqing Palace, the ministers stood with their hands tied, there was no atmosphere of the past, King Yan rebelled, and the loss in Jinling City was great, and the homes of many ministers were impacted by the rangers, and the losses were not small. Some officials' families even died, which made the ministers even more depressed, and many courtiers were silent in the main hall.

This atmosphere was not until Yang Lian and Li Jingsui arrived. Gao Ze sang loudly, the ministers stood straight, and the only prince of the Tang Dynasty who was qualified to succeed him as the emperor came.

Yang Lian followed behind Li Jingsui unhurriedly, and when he arrived in front of the throne, Yang Lian helped Li Jingsui sit down. Li Jingsui hesitated slightly, and finally sat down.

"I've seen King Qi Chitose!" Yang Lian shouted.

The ministers also immediately stepped forward to greet him, and the voice echoed in the Guangqing Palace, Li Jingsui sat down slowly, and then waved his hand and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, be flat." ”

"Thank you, King Qi!" The ministers replied again and stood up.

Li Jingsui glanced at the ministers, almost all of them were sad, this time the matter was too big. Yang Lian stood at the front, at this time he had retreated to the first place on the left, and no one in the group objected, with Yang Lian's identity, although he was younger, he was also qualified.

Li Ping, the lucky household servant, walked out and said: "King Qi, King Yan rebelled, so that the people in Jinling City were not happy, and Weichen thought that King Yan should be degraded as a common person." "Although Li Hongji is dead, he is still the king of Yan, and if he is demoted to a concubine, this meaning will be different.

For Li Hongji, Li Jingsui was not polite, so he nodded and said, "Quasi-play." ”

The military general Liu Yanzhen walked out, and it turned out that his position was not wrong, and he had food with Wu Hou. He coughed lightly and said, "Li Hongji's rebellion is a national martyrdom. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in ruins, His Royal Highness King Qi should immediately ascend the throne as the emperor, order the Quartet, and appease the officials and the people. ”

Yang Lian also came out and said, "Your Highness, General Liu's words are very reasonable, Your Majesty should succeed to the throne immediately." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Fang Jinzhao walked out.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Pan Chengyou also walked out.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The courtiers of King Yan's party were either captured or killed, and even if the remaining courtiers were loyal to Li Jing, they also turned to King Qi because of Li Jing's death. All the courtiers stood up and were willing to support King Qi as emperor.

Li Jingsui silently glanced at everyone, the support of the ministers made him feel a little relieved, he slowly stood up, and said: "Li Hongji's rebellion is indeed a national martyrdom, in order to stabilize the Tang Dynasty, lonely, no, I will succeed as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not forget your merits." ”

"Now in Jinling City, there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and I hope that all Aiqing will work together to stabilize the situation. In this way, the country is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate! Li Jingsui said again.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yang Lian said on the side.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Immediately, another courtier said.

Pan Chengyou, the temple secretary of Honglu Temple, waited until everyone calmed down, walked out, and said: "Your Majesty, this time Li Hongji invaded the imperial city, and Guo Rong, the hostage of the Zhou State, was suspected of incitement. ”

Fang Jinzhao gritted his teeth, in this coup d'état, his mansion was attacked and several people died, which made him very angry, and he walked out when he heard the words, and said: "Pan Siqing's words are very reasonable. It is really hateful for Zhou Guo to do this kind of thing. Your Majesty, Weichen thought that he should immediately send someone to Kaifeng to question the emperor of Zhou. ”

Li Jingsui hesitated a little, it was obviously unrealistic to start a war with Zhou at this time.

Yang Lian saw him hesitating and knew what the new emperor was thinking, so he walked out and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu's words are very reasonable, Guo Rong and Li Hongji colluded, it is difficult to say who used whom, and now Guo Rong is not seen in the entire Jinling City, so he must have fled." We must ask Guo Wei for justice. ”

When Li Jingsui saw Yang Lian say this, he knew that he must have paid attention, thought about it, and said, "In this case, who are you going to choose for this candidate?" ”

Yang Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen recommended Sun Sheng and Prime Minister Sun." ”

Li Jingsui opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and looked at Yang Lian with an incredulous expression.

Fang Jinzhao, Li Ping, Pan Chengyou and other courtiers also looked at Yang Lian in surprise, could it be that Yang Lian was borrowing a knife to kill people?

Yang Lian smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Sun has ambitions, although he used to be at odds with Weichen, but that is all in the past, now Datang is in urgent need of talents, and Prime Minister Sun is one of the leaders, available." ”

Li Jingsui groaned slightly, glanced at Pan Chengyou, and said, "Pan Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Weichen thinks that Marquis Wu's words are very reasonable, not to mention that His Majesty just sent someone to question Guo Wei, not a real war." Pan Chengyou said.

Li Jingsui was silent for a while, and finally chose to agree.

"Your Majesty, this time the chaos is due to Marquis Wu's efforts to turn the tide, and Weichen thinks that Marquis Wu's contribution to stabilizing the society is not under the heroes of the founding of the country, and he should be added to the rank of knight." At this time, Liu Yanzhen, who had not spoken, stood up.

Yang Lian glanced at him in some surprise, and Li Jingsui happened to also look at Yang Lian, and the eyes of the two collided, each with a different expression. Yang Lian was surprised, and Li Jingsui was a little surprised, could it be that Yang Lian couldn't help it? But when he found Yang Lian's gaze, he knew that he was too worried.

As soon as Liu Yanzhen's words came out, many courtiers also agreed very much, especially Fang Jinzhao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who agreed very much, he arched his hand and said: "Wu Hou has been fighting for the south and north of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and he has seized the old land of Wu Yueguo, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly enhanced. ”

Yang Lian hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is what Weichen should do, and he doesn't need any reward." ”

Li Jingsui squinted his eyes and looked at him, in this short period of time, he had already made a choice, no matter what, Yang Lian was his right-hand man, but also his son-in-law, in the case that he had no son, Yang Lian was the biggest reliance.

"Yes, Wu Hou has made a lot of meritorious contributions this time, and I also have the intention of rewarding Wu Hou. In this way, Marquis Wu ascended the throne as King Wu, the fief Guangling, and all the family wealth of the original Li Hongji was assigned to the name of King Wu. Li Jingsui said.

A different surname cannot be crowned a king, for Yang Lian, this is a great progress, his face changed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable." ”

"King Wu, don't shirk it, my mind has been decided!" Li Jingsui said.

Yang Lian hesitated slightly, Liu Yanzhen, Fang Jinzhao, Li Ping, Pan Chengyou and others gave up their hands one after another, and said, "Congratulations to King Wu!" ”

"In that case, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Lian bowed his hand to give a salute, and then saluted the ministers, which was regarded as a thank you.

In the Guangqing Palace, Yang Lian coughed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not an inch, when it comes to counterinsurgency, General Chen, General Zhou, General Liu, etc. have all made great contributions. ”

"Quasi-play, the military department will sort out an excerpt according to the merits, King Wu, after you have seen it, you will show it to me." Li Jingsui said.

"Whoa!" Fang Jinzhao and Yang Lian promised at the same time.

"King Wu, there are many things now, I will hand over the affairs of the military department to you, and you can take a look at the daily excerpts first, and then hand them over to me for approval." Li Jingsui said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Yang Lian said.

Fang Jinzhao's eyes flashed, and so did Liu Yanzhen, they all knew that this time it was Bo right.

Li Jingsui spoke for a while, feeling a little tired, so he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything important?" ”

Yang Lian said: "Your Majesty, Guo Rong has absconded, and Weichen has sent someone to pursue him, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death." ”

"Well done!" Li Jing laughed, and after glancing at the ministers, seeing that no one was talking, he waved his hand at Gao Ze.

Gao Ze shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty without capital!" ”

As he spoke, several little eunuchs left first, and Li Jingsui followed behind him and walked out of the Guangqing Palace.

"Congratulations to King Wu!" Liu Yanzhen walked up with a smile, a look flashing in her eyes.

Fang Jinzhao, Li Ping, Chen Keyan and others also came over and kept congratulating. Yang Lian returned the salute to everyone one by one, and after half an hour, everyone left.

Yang Lian stopped Chen Keyan and said, "Where are Han Xizai, Chang Mengxi and the others?" ”

"Now I'm being held in prison." Chen Keyan said.

"Let's go, go see them!" Yang Lian said, and walked towards the prison with Chen Keyan.

In the prison, Han Xizai sighed for a long time, when the war in the north was in turmoil, he fled to the north, hoping to win fame with his talents. Although Li Jing treated him well, he never had a high position, and because of his poor relationship with Song Qiqiu, Feng Yanlu and others, his career was not smooth at all.

In order to have a better future, he chose to work for King Yan, but King Yan was constantly suppressed and finally embarked on the road of rebellion. If it succeeds, it's okay, but King Yan failed and became a thief scolded by thousands of people. Becoming a king or losing a king, this stigma will hang on King Yan's head for the rest of his life.

The fall of King Yan means that King Yan's family will be oppressed, and most of them will be killed, which is the end of the loser. Han Xizai smiled bitterly, his fate was already doomed, maybe his life was so bumpy.

Han Xizai thought so, and slowly clenched his fists, his life was about to end like this, he was unwilling, but what could he do if he was unwilling? The end is already doomed.

Footsteps suddenly sounded, and from far and near, there was a glimmer of light in the dim prison, and a soldier approached with a tung oil lamp in his hand.

Han Xizai raised his head, looked at the soldier, and suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled, his life was about to end.

The soldier hung up the tung oil lamp, and then there were footsteps, and a tall figure appeared, and when he arrived at the cell, he stopped, and looked at him coldly.

"Is that you?" Han Xizai's lips squirmed and he spoke.

The person who came was Yang Lian, who asked the soldier to open the cell and paced in. Chen Keyan stood still beside him, just in case, but he was obviously overly worried, with Yang Lian's skills, it was impossible for Han Xizai to hurt him, not to mention that Han Xizai had bracelets and anklets on his hands and feet.

"Han Xizai, speaking of which, your talent is obvious to all, but it's a pity that you followed the wrong person." Yang Lian said.

Han Xizai pursed his lips and didn't squeak, he didn't know what Yang Lian's purpose was when he suddenly came here?

Yang Lian saw that he didn't speak, laughed, and said: "Li Hongji's rebellion has been ambushed, and the people of Yan Wang's party will be implicated, and now Chen Dongshen, Zhu Lingyun, Zhou Hongzuo and others have been subjugated, and there are only a few Wenchen left, and you are one of them." ”

"Frankly speaking, this king still admires your talent very much, this time Li Hongji rebelled, you didn't know in advance, maybe because Li Hongji knew that you followed the first emperor when you were young, and he was afraid that you would not rebel, so he didn't tell you. This is enough to prove that you at least have no objections. Yang Lian said.

Han Xizai's Adam's apple moved, he really had no objections, the party struggle was just for his own interests, and now with the death of King Yan, he was not even qualified to fight the party.

Yang Lian said, slowly squatted down, and said: "After Li Hongji's rebellion, the Tang Dynasty is in danger, and the situation in various places is unknown, so you must know it. You don't need to turn a corner to talk to a wise man, and this king asks you, will you live? ”
