Princess Taiping didn't say anything, but frowned, not knowing what she was thinking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I think this edict is good, what do you think?" Empress Wei looked at Princess Taiping and asked.

"This idea is good, so let's decide as it is, and quickly choose the new emperor on the auspicious day to ascend the throne."

With that, Princess Taiping turned around and left.

When Shangguan Wan'er was in front of her, Princess Taiping stared at her meaningfully, the muscles on her face trembled twice, and she left without saying anything.

Liwen Wang Chongmao is the crown prince, Empress Dowager Wei is the government, and the prime minister is the auxiliary government, but there is nothing to do with Princess Taiping. This result was definitely not what she wanted, Shangguan Wan'er was simply a blatant betrayal by doing so, and Princess Taiping was furious but couldn't attack.

Looking at Princess Taiping's distant figure, Shangguan Wan'er had a complicated expression on her face, and she could only pray secretly in her heart: Zhang Bao'er, Zhang Bao'er, why don't you come back quickly?

……

It was already the third watch, and a eunuch was patrolling the imperial garden at night, and suddenly heard the sound of slight footsteps coming from far and near.

In the middle of the night, what was he doing? But it was so strange that he was driven by curiosity to flash behind a big tree to see what was going on.

Vaguely, he saw a masked man, who was still carrying objects on his shoulders, slumped, and clearly human. The eunuch has been in the palace for many years, and he believes that this is by no means an assassin or a thief, someone must be unlucky again, this kind of thing Empress Wei has done more than once, and he estimates that this is related to the sudden death of the emperor today.

Although the eunuch was sad and angry, what could he do?

He knows that the things in the palace, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise you will even take your life. He deliberately knocked the bang in his hand loudly, and sure enough, the man heard it and hurried away.

……

Zhongzong Li Xian died, and no one went to find out the cause of his death, it doesn't matter, what matters is that after his death, where will the Tang Dynasty go.

The ministers all know that there are two major forces that are really influential at this time, one is the Hou Party headed by Empress Wei, and the core members include Princess An Le and Shangguan Wan'er; The other is the Li Tang clan headed by Li Dan, the prime minister, and the core members are Princess Taiping. The two groups are evenly matched, and neither can overwhelm the other.

What should I do in this case? The most reasonable way to do this is for the queen and the clan to jointly elect a new emperor acceptable to both parties.

The next day, Empress Wei temporarily convened the early dynasty and announced the edict of the first emperor Li Xian.

The edict drafted by Shangguan Wan'er is quite level.

Li Chongmao is the only son of Zhongzong, and his father and son are rightfully righteous. Li Chongmao was only 16 years old and needed someone to assist him, which was acceptable to both sides. Empress Dowager Wei trained the government, and the prince assisted the government, taking into account the power of Empress Wei and the power of the clan.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two sides will have to compete in the future, but, at least from the immediate point of view, this edict can be maintained for a period of time, which is also the purpose of Shangguan Wan'er's painstaking efforts.

Unexpectedly, this edict was fiercely opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Zong Chuke first raised objections: "It is not appropriate for the prime minister to assist the government; And in the queen, my sister-in-law didn't ask, when listening to the court, how could I be polite? ”

Zong Chuke's meaning is very clear, Queen Wei and King Xiang are sister-in-law and brother-in-law, according to the ancient etiquette, uncle and sister-in-law don't speak, how can they let Queen Wei come to the court, and let King Xiang assist in politics? How did the two of them get along when they were listening to the court?

Zong Chuke proposed that since his uncle and sister-in-law didn't ask, he simply took out the Xiangwang Fuzheng and directly let Queen Wei come to the dynasty to weigh the system!

As soon as Zong Chuke's proposal came out, most of the ministers supported Empress Wei, and most of them also echoed it. As a result, the content of the edict has changed, and Wang Chongmao of Wen is left as the crown prince, and Queen Wei is in the dynasty to weigh two systems!

Empress Wei knew that King Xiang was the son of Gaozong after all, and he had a high reputation for this alone, so she added an official title to King Xiang, and let King Xiang Li Dan be the prince and prince, a high-ranking but powerless position.

Only three days later, Empress Wei officially established the sixteen-year-old Li Chongmao as the emperor, changed the Yuan Tang Long, and added the king of Xiang to the Taiwei, and at the same time made the eldest son of the king of Xiang Cheng Qi from the king of the county to the prince, and the title was Song. Taiwei is one of the three dukes, in fact, he has no power at all, and this Taiwei is not as affordable as Li Chengqi from the prince of the county to the prince.

After revising the edict, Empress Wei urgently dispatched 50,000 soldiers into Chang'an, and together with the forbidden army, implemented military management over Chang'an. There are a total of six top military generals in the government and the forbidden army, and all of them are appointed by the children or sons-in-law of the Wei family. The supreme commander was Empress Wei's cousin, Prime Minister Wei Wen.

Empress Wei did this obviously: she wanted to be the emperor!

When Li Xian was alive, Empress Wei had such an idea, but at that time she was just thinking about it, but now that Li Xian is dead, the situation has changed. Although Empress Wei knew in her heart that Li Xian definitely did not die in her own hands, who would believe it? She made up her mind about this black cauldron, and coupled with Zong Chuke's constant instigation, she simply didn't do anything and went to the emperor's throne wholeheartedly.

Empress Wei is the emperor, who is most afraid?

Of course it's the Li Tang clan!

Back then, Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor, and the Li Tang clan was killed, and now if Empress Wei comes like this again, Li Tang may be even more exhausted!

Besides, Wu Zetian was called the emperor, after all, it was passed on to his son in the end and passed back to the Li Tang Dynasty; However, Empress Wei has no son, and if she really becomes the emperor, it is even more difficult to say who the throne will end up in!

If the clan doesn't want to be arrested, it has to save itself.

How can I help myself? The leader of the clan is undoubtedly the prime minister Li Dan. But Empress Wei is not stupid, she has already prevented this move, and she has already sent troops to "protect" the Prime Minister's mansion. In this way, the clan will have no leader.

"A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there will be a mistake." Empress Wei and her comrades made a lot of calculations, but they forgot to count the sons of the king.

Do you want to guard against the sons of the king? It's not like no one in Queen Wei's group has thought about this problem.

Zong Chu's guests are old and sophisticated, he looked at the tigers and tigers of King Xiang's sons, and always felt that it was a hidden danger, he reminded Queen Wei: Now that the situation is tense, hurry up and send King Xiang's sons to the place.

However, Empress Wei didn't listen to him. Maybe Empress Wei thought that it would never be their turn to be the emperor, so she didn't take them seriously at all.

Empress Wei tampered with the edict and wanted to be the emperor herself, this matter is related to the interests of every Li Tang clan, and she must not be arrested!

Li Longji grew up in a coup d'état environment of all sizes since he was a child, and he was used to it, and he didn't have to think about it to know that a coup d'état was imminent. At this point, the only way to do this is to carry out a coup d'état and get rid of Empress Wei. But how exactly did this coup work? Although with the help of Zhang Baoer, Li Longji also has his own team, but to confront Queen Wei, this capital is obviously not enough.
