Chapter 736: Western Xia Chaos (2)
"City Lord Li, this is not the place to speak, the emperor's death ......"
Yelurong wiped a handful of tears, and then said: "After all, it can't be ...... for outsiders."
After that, Yelu Rong glanced at Li Ba with a pair of charming eyes, Li Ba frowned, and said secretly: What a natural goblin!
So Li Ba took Li Ningling and followed Yelu Rong and the Wuyi clan to the dormitory. ()
After going up the stairs, Yelurong suddenly hid her face and cried, and Wuyi also cried with Yelurong.
"Two sisters-in-law, this is ......" Li Ba asked puzzled.
Ye Lurong pointed to the stairs and said: "When the emperor returned to the palace today, I was happy with the imperial concubine, and I lingered with the emperor's affection, but I didn't prevent the emperor's gold sores from bursting out, and I was in ......great pain."
As she spoke, Yelurong cried again, her expression was very sad, and she couldn't speak, so she could only cover her mouth and cry!
Still didn't move and continued: "After that...... The emperor seemed to be crazy, and rolled all the way to here on the ground......"
"And then?" Li Ba listened and asked with concern, but after seeing the stairs, he seemed to vaguely guess something.
"And then ......," Yelurong replied with sobs, "and then the emperor will roll down from here, poor emperor...... suffered all the pain of the gold sores, endured all the hardships, and finally ...... When he finally landed, his head stabbed the wooden horn of the staircase to the temple......"
"That's it......" Wu Yi and Yelu Rong seemed to sing a double reed, one by one, and finally finished making up their story: "In this way, the emperor finally fell, and he never got up again......"
Hearing this, Li Ba frowned, looked at Yelurong's bedroom again, and finally didn't say anything, pulled Li Ningling and left the harem.
After leaving the harem, Li Ba immediately convened the ministers to discuss the funeral for Li Yuan, but the counselor Zhang Min said: "City Lord Li, why did the emperor suddenly die?" ”
Li Ba said noncommittally: "The queen said that it was a gold sore, and then the emperor was in pain, and finally fell down the stairs and was stabbed to the temple by a hardwood!" ”
Li Yuan's death is really similar to Ye Lurong and the Wuyi clan's narrative!
It was indeed when Li Yuan was thrown down the stairs by Li Ning's order, he was stabbed to the temple by the sharp corner of the stairs, and Li Yuan was killed, of course...... In the mouths of Yelu Rong and Wu Yi, when Li Yuancheng was in love with them, he accidentally broke out with gold sores, and then fell down the stairs in pain, hiding all the things related to Li Ningling in the middle.
With the queen and the concubine testifying together, the minister naturally didn't dare to say anything, so Zhang Min said: "City Lord Li, the lower officials think that the emperor's affairs, we can't make a noise now!" ”
"What does Master Zhang mean......" Li Ba asked rhetorically: "Do we want to keep it a secret?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Min nodded, and said to Li Ba and Li Ningling: "Now my Xixia country is in danger, like a building will collapse!" At this time, if the news of the emperor's death is announced, I am afraid that the hearts of the Western Xia army and people will be in turmoil, and the consequences will be ...... I don't want to imagine it! ”
Zhang Min spoke in a crepe, but in a word!
Li Ba suddenly came to his senses, nodded and said, "Not bad! Master Zhang is reasonable, the emperor's matter, we really can't act hastily! ”
"But ......," said another, "the kingdom must not be ...... There is no king for a day! ”
Hearing this, all the ministers were not allowed to think of Li Ba, after all, now in Xingqing Mansion, Li Ba is in power, so when they talk about the monarch's major affairs, they don't dare to look at Li Ningling.
This shocked Li Ningling's heart, and then glanced at Li Ba.
Li Ba is known for his prestige, this is Li Ba's reputation in the rivers and lakes in the northwest over the years, he is strong in martial arts, and he has military power, so at this time, the minister naturally chooses to listen to Li Ba.
But Li Ba is a person, precisely because he was born in the rivers and lakes, and he has a good relationship with Li Yuan, how can he take advantage of Li Ningling at this time?
And...... Li Ba himself said: "The prince was already in charge of the country, so he ...... Let's continue to supervise the country again, we can't announce the emperor's death yet, naturally...... You can't make the prince emperor anymore! ”
It turned out that Li Ba had no ambition to snatch the position of the monarch of Western Xia at all, which also made Li Ningling breathe a sigh of relief, and also made these ministers more and more unpredictable Li Ba's thoughts.
With experiments and fears, after Li Ningling heard Li Ba's words, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Huang...... Lonely self-admitted, regardless of martial arts and resourcefulness, is not as good as the emperor's eloquence, and now the Western Xia is in a critical time, and I also ask the emperor's uncle not to shirk, this matter of supervising the country, as well as the position of the monarch, it stands to reason that the emperor's uncle is the ......"
When Li Ba heard this, his face changed, and he shouted at Li Ningling: "Why did the prince say this? I, Li Ba, and the emperor are siblings, and the prince is an uncle and nephew, and I was born in the rivers and lakes, and I have always been lazy, how can I be the king of this country? ”
Li Ningling thought that this was just Li Ba's excuse, so he said: "Uncle Huang, it is precisely because Uncle Huang and his father are brothers that Uncle Huang wants Uncle Huang to stand up when the country is in trouble!" ”
"Brother Ning!" Li Ba's face became solemn, and then he actually knelt in front of Li Ningling and said to him: "You are the crown prince, now that the emperor has died, you are the emperor of Western Xia, this is a fact that no one can change!" Although I am now in power in the army, this is why the emperor can trust me Li Ba, so I am Li Ba today...... Hugh will talk about the matter of giving way! Minister...... Li Ba is willing to die for the Western Xia, and from today on, the crown prince Li Ning will ascend the throne as the emperor, and after the rivals of the Southern Dynasty are repulsed, then invite the prince to ascend the throne! ”
Seeing Li Ba kneeling down to Li Ningling, the minister also hurriedly followed and knelt down to Li Ningling.
In this way, Li Ningling temporarily became the uncrowned king of Western Xia!
Li Ningling finally saw Li Ba's determination, and also understood that Li Ba really had no ambition to be the emperor, so he was happy in his heart.
After the ministers met with Li Ningling, they all went to deal with things again.
The emperor died and could not mourn, so they could only try their best to hide the news of Li Yuan's death.
After the ministers left, Li Ningling said to Li Ba: "Uncle is righteous, under the father Emperor Jiuquan, he must be proud of his uncle!" Solitary...... I want to crown Uncle Huang as king, I don't know what Uncle Huang thinks? ”
Originally, Li Ba was Li Yuan's cousin, and he should have been crowned king a long time ago, but Li Ba kept refusing, because of the life on the rivers and lakes he longed for, and later Li Yuan repeatedly persuaded Li Ba to reluctantly accept the matter of staying and establishing Yipintang, as for the title, he could only accept the position of the lord of Xiliang City.
Hearing Li Ningling's words, Li Ba said: "The prince has a heart, and the matter of sealing the king can be discussed later!" I don't know if the prince found out, the death of the emperor, I'm afraid it's not as simple as the queen and the Wuyi clan said! ”
ps: The update is complete, it's a little late, I'm sorry for delaying everyone's rest!
