Chapter 245: The Edict of Abdication
Yang Lin said as he spoke, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes; Silently choked up: "I really didn't expect that the emperor had only been gone for thirteen years; The Great Sui has already become like this; I actually want to use the Zhenguo seal given to me by the first king to destroy the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui! This makes me have no face to see the first king after I die. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Yang Jier and Li Shimin were stunned for a moment, and silently looked at this old general, who was already over the age of sixteen and was still working hard for the Great Sui, and they were in awe.
Yang Lin patted Yang Ji'er's head and said, "Ji'er, hurry up and take the jade seal back!" Don't be found out by your father! I've got you covered. β
Yang Ji'er nodded obediently, put the heirloom jade seal into the little blue, and said goodbye to Yang Lin and walked quickly. Yang Lin glanced at Li Shimin coldly and said, "Li Shimin, it turns out that I am very optimistic about you; Think of you as the future pillar of my Great Sui; But you dare to instigate Yang Ji'er, who has nothing to do, to steal the jade seal of the country, and his heart should be punished! β
Li Shimin was also taken aback and said: "Lord Wang, the young general knows his mistake!" It's all my meritorious service; It was only then that the matter was brought up to the princess; I want her to help persuade Long live; However, the last general really didn't expect that the princess would steal the jade seal of the country. β
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Very good, you still dare to act boldly, and you didn't completely put the responsibility on Ji'er; Nor is it completely incorrigible. I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds; If we want to deceive those anti-kings, we need a messenger who can speak well. β
Li Shimin hurriedly saluted and said: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, a certain general is willing to send an envoy to the Eighteen Kingdoms to read out His Majesty's intentions!" Yang Lin nodded when he heard this, and asked him to retreat.
Suddenly, I heard that there was a messenger on the side of the Great Sui, and the eighteen anti-kings looked at each other one by one; Li Mi sneered: "It's coming, it's too late to regret it!" Come on! Bring in the envoys of the Sui Dynasty; See what he has to say! β
Someone agreed, and it didn't take long for Li Shimin to enter the military tent with his head held high; Everyone saw that it was a handsome young man who was less than twenty years old; One by one, they talk about each other.
Li Mi didn't know this person either, so he sat on the main seat and leaned on the table and asked, "Who is standing next?" But do you want to beg for your life? Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Li Shimin was neither humble nor arrogant: "Under Li Shimin, he is the son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang; The Great General of Zuo Wuhou of the Great Sui Dynasty. Presumably this is Li Mi, the king of the Western Wei Dynasty? Everyone says that King Wei is wise and martial, and there is a talent of the master, and it is an exaggeration in the eyes of the people! β
"Toot, bold! Rukou children dare to talk about adults? When King Wei became famous in the world, hello in infancy! Xu Yuanlang, who had just returned to obedience, hurriedly jumped out to show his loyalty.
Li Mi waved his hand slightly and said, "Gong Xu, don't worry, first listen to what this little doll has to say?" β
Li Shimin said: "There is a way that is not the king's land under the whole world, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Your Majesty is a shepherd on behalf of the heavens, and even if Your Majesty has done so, we should also advise you to change it; The last resort is the Chosen Hero. How to do this great perverse thing? Ann dares to beg for His Majesty's life? β
Everyone was speechless, and Li Mi said: "Okay! You have a point; Now that there is no way to faint, it is the great Sui of heaven, what do you have to say. β
Li Shimin said sadly: "Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, but he was deceived by traitors, eager for quick success, and in a hurry; As a result, the national strength is depleted, and the lives are ruined; Every time I think about it, I toss and turn. Recently, I worshiped the Holy Lord of Xuanyuan in the Lonely Cloud Peak of Siming Mountain, and woke up after being mentioned by the Holy Lord, and realized that he had sinned deeply and issued an edict against himself, and he had sued the world! Everyone's ordered! β
Li Mi and the others were stunned for a moment, and took the order? What is this Nerve Emperor going to do? You are king, and we are kings, so why should you borrow your will?
Cheng Zhijie smiled and said: "What kind of holy decree, you can read it and listen to it!" "Yes, read it out and let us hear it!"
Li Shimin cleared his throat and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
The establishment of government and prosperity must be in the promotion of sincerity; Forget yourself and help others, and do not hesitate to change. I obey the Pi structure, reign over all nations, lose the ancestry, and become more reckless. If you don't read the virtue, don't chase the past; Always think about the blame, and the future will be restored. Clearly seek its meaning to show the world.
The boy is afraid of virtue and does not dare to slack off. However, he grew up in the deep palace, secretly in the affairs of the country, and was easy to drown in habits, and forgot about danger in peace. I don't know the hardships of the crops, and I don't care about the hardships of the conquest. Zhi Ze is inquisitive, but the love is not clear, the matter is separated, and people are suspicious. He was ignorant of himself, so he used Xingrong to recruit teachers from all over the world and transfer thousands of miles. Given a car, there was an uproar from far and near; The line is sent, and the people are tired. The forced labor continues, and the fields are desolate. Exhaustive military force, large palace buildings, and extravagance, resulting in the exhaustion of the people's strength, the rise of robbers, and the world's turmoil.
The violent order is more than pleading, the tired people are empty in the axes, turn to the dead ravines, leave the township, the hills and ruins in the city, and the population is cut off. Heaven is condemned from above and I am not satisfied, and people complain from below and I don't know. Taming the chaotic ranks, changing the capital, the thieves and ministers took advantage of the provocation, rebellious and monstrous, and they were not ashamed and dared to bully. Ten thousand products are out of order, the nine temples are shocked, the upper is tired of the ancestors, and the lower is negative to the steaming.
Heartache, sin is really given, I am ashamed of heaven and earth, and I am ashamed of the people; It is not enough to set an example in the world; He gave way to the Maven and sought peace in the world.
Today, there are eighteen sages in the world, with four Ming, I mean that the country and the mountains are entrusted to each other, and the jade seal of the country is given away! I don't know who can take on the heavy responsibility!
Chin this! β
Li Shimin read the edict in one breath, and then said in one fell swoop: "Everyone accept the edict and thank you!" β
As soon as these anti-kings heard that Yang Guang was going to abdicate, and they were also ready to let the jade seal of the country be handed down, except for Lao Cheng, Li Mi, and Dou Jiande, who frowned one by one and didn't speak, everyone else ran out at once, knelt on the ground and shouted: "I'll wait to receive the order and thank you!" "Just shout that I am the Maven, pass the jade seal to me!
Li Mi frowned and said, "Sui Envoy, if the faint monarch really gives way, it will not be difficult for us to spare his life; But we can't believe what you said, so let's take a look at the jade seal. β
Li Shimin smiled and said: "What King Wei said is unreasonable, you doubt Your Majesty; Can Your Majesty trust you? For such a big thing, there must be someone in charge of it; There are eighteen anti-kings here, who are we going to hand over the jade seal to? β
Before his words fell, Da Duque, who was beside Li Liang, jumped out and said, "Needless to say, of course it will be handed over to our Great Turk!" Our Turkic control of the strings is million, and the world is shocked by the soldiers! Only we, the Great Turks, are the masters of the world. β
As soon as his words came out, Liu Wuzhou, Li Liang and Liang Shi, who had good relations with the Turks, all followed suit; Even Li Mi and Dou Jiande were taken by the power of the Turks, and they did not dare to speak with a calm face.
"Poof!" Cheng Biting Jin came out first, and several people turned their heads and glared angrily: "Why do you have any opinions on our words?" β
Cheng Yanjin slapped the table and said: "We are the gathering of the eighteen anti-kings, but you want a jade seal for the Turks; In this way, you are all Turkic lackeys, and you are not qualified to be an anti-king at all! So what are you shouting here? Let Jieli come! King Wei, I suggest that these three people be disqualified from attending the meeting, because they are not equal to our status. β
"You are presumptuous!" Li Liang and others shouted; Everyone else coveted the jade seal of the country, but they didn't dare to speak under the pressure of the Turks, and when they saw Cheng Zhijie starting, they said indignantly: "Not bad!" We are all princes of a country, how can we be confused with these lackeys! Please ask the king of Western Wei to order them to be blasted out. β
Li Mi has long been angry that these three people rely on the power of the Turks, and do not look at themselves as the leader of the alliance; At this time, he happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Okay! Liu Wuzhou, Li Rail, and Liang Shi are all too embarrassed by the faces of Han people such as us; Someone, blast me out. β
"Yes!" Some soldiers rushed up and were about to make a move, Xue Ju, like Gao Kaidao, relied on the power of the Turks, and hurriedly got up and said: "The King of Wei is angry, although they behave inappropriately, they can be regarded as the envoys of the Turks; Although they can be disqualified from the competition; But let them stay and listen! β
Li Mi pretended to be angry and nodded, "Okay! Now that the Overlord and the Yan King have spoken, you should watch it well! β
After Li Mi finished dealing with it, the three of them said to Li Shimin again: "Sui envoy, what do you think?" How can I hand over the jade seal? β
Li Shimin smiled: "We have prepared the jade seal, but we don't know who to hand it over?" So be it! Please introduce a person who can serve the public, and he will inherit the jade seal, and everyone can also serve him as the master! You can also compete in martial arts to determine an alliance leader! As long as the alliance leader is decided, we will immediately fulfill our promises; Of course, please let Your Majesty get on the boat and return to Jiangdu. β
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Let's decide in a competition!" This one is the fairest! The crowd glanced at him and pouted. Li Mi said: "The one who wields the knife and the gun is just a martial artist, the master needs to convince people with virtue, let's choose a person with both ability and political integrity to do it!" β
Lao Cheng didn't show weakness and replied: "Then who is a person with both ability and political integrity?" It won't be you, King Wei! What criteria do we use to judge who has both ability and political integrity? β
Li Mi was a headache, and Xu Yuanlang next to him looked up and said, "I think King Wei is a person with both ability and political integrity!" Otherwise, everyone would not have elected him as the leader of the alliance! Let's take a look at Meng Haigong, Meng Rang, Hao Xiaode, counting our peerless king, which one did not defect to King Wei in times of crisis; I don't want some people to just fight against our rebels. β
Wang Bo, Tang Bi, Gao Kaidao, Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou and others nodded together when they heard this.
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "A certain family kills all the thieves who are cholera in the world and endanger the people, where is the righteous army; And are you Tang Bi a rebel? Have you ever fought a day with the Sui Dynasty? Meng Rang, Meng Haigong, and Hao Xiaode defected to Zhai Rang, and Li Mi hadn't gone up the mountain at that time? β
The crowd was agitated and blamed each other; It was like a vegetable market. Li Shimin just watched silently, and he found that these rebels were divided into several waves, first of all, Xue Ju, Gao Kaidao, Li Rail, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, and Gao Tansheng were a group, and most of them were related to the Turks.
