In the Daming Palace, the crown prince Li Ying and hundreds of officials gathered in the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Report, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the enemy army has retreated, we have won, General Wang Zhongsi and General Shen Shixing have already led people to chase and kill."

The crown prince Li Ying breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Great, I really didn't want to fight and actually won, the real God help me, Li Cong, this guy, catch him and see that I won't break him into pieces." ”

Li Linfu had a worried face, and said in the prince's ear: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although Li Cong was defeated, but the current situation is not conducive to His Highness, the military power is in the hands of the three princes, if he forces the palace, what should His Highness do?" ”

Li Ying said: "Don't we still have Wang Maozhong?" He has 10,000 Praetorian Guards in his hands, are we still afraid of Li Heng? ”

Li Linfu said: "The 10,000 Praetorian Guards have also been mobilized to the city defense, if I were Li Heng, I would definitely send the Praetorian Guards to pursue Li Cong, and leave my cronies by my side." ”

Only then did Li Ying realize the seriousness of the matter, if Wang Maozhong was taken away, then he really had nothing.

"Report, the third prince has arrived."

Li Heng was wearing armor, with dozens of armor soldiers behind him, and without leaving his sword, he came up to the Xuanzheng Palace. As soon as Li Heng came, the atmosphere was different. Li Ying obviously felt that Li Heng was full of domineering and sharp at this time, and he was not at all like the gentle little brother before.

Li Heng stood on top of the main hall and said: "The enemy's grain and grass have been burned by us, and now they are at the end of their rope, and Chang'an City is safe." However, now my Datang is still facing a crisis, the first emperor is dead, and someone must inherit the unification. ”

Someone among the ministers immediately responded: "The three princes are all the best among the princes, and they should inherit the unification in order to continue the legacy of Xuanzong and continue to open the Yuan Dynasty." ”

"Yes, the three princes should inherit the unification."

After someone took the lead, others followed. Originally, these people were the grass on the wall, and the people who supported Li Ying were either drunkards or lewd people, but now it is obvious that Li Ying is in power, and he has no ability to compete with Li Heng for the throne, so naturally no one supports him anymore.

Li Linfu saw that the situation was not right, and immediately changed his words: "The three princes commanded the three armies to repel the great prince, so that Chang'an City was spared the suffering of war, and he made outstanding achievements, and he is really the best person to inherit the great unification, and he should obey the will of heaven and the people." The minister implored the third prince to succeed to the throne. ”

Li Ying was already stunned at this time, it was really a betrayal of his relatives, and everyone encouraged him to succeed to the throne two days ago, but in a blink of an eye, these people abandoned him and supported the three princes. Especially Li Linfu, this despicable villain, changes his face faster than turning a book.

"What are you all doing? I am the crown prince today, the throne should be mine, and I should be the emperor today. Third brother, haven't you always supported my accession to the throne? Third brother, after you support me to ascend the throne, I will make you a captain, how about it? ”

Li Ying had already begun to hug Li Heng and talk nonsense, Li Heng broke free of Li Ying's hand, and said coldly: "Second brother, you can't drag on the death of your father for the time being, although the words of the eldest brother may not be credible, but in order to find out the real culprit and make the emperor blind, second brother, you should be wronged and accept the investigation." Come on, put Li Ying in the prison and wait for interrogation. ”

"You let me go, I am the current prince, you can't arrest me, I didn't kill my father. You caught the wrong person, the third child, you wolf ambition, you are the mastermind behind the scenes. All of you have been deceived by the third child, and he is the one behind it. Li Ying kept screaming and scolding when she was dragged out.

Song Jing, Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Shuo, Li Linfu and other important ministers of the imperial court jointly recommended Li Heng to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and hundreds of civil and military officials worshiped the new monarch. Li Heng ascended the throne on the same day and was called Tang Suzong.

In the Zichen Palace, Tang Suzong summoned Li Shan.

Li Heng said with a sad face: "Master, what do you think I should do with my second brother?" ”

Li Shandao: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister can see, although Li Ying is not eloquent, he is the crown prince established by the emperor after all. The death of the emperor has nothing to do with Li Ying, if Li Ying is alive, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people with ulterior motives to make a big fuss about this matter in the future. What's more, Li Ying herself has the ambition of an emperor. ”

Now only Li Shan dares to talk to Li Heng like this, so Li Heng can only ask Li Shan about this matter.

Li Heng said: "Do you have to be unscrupulous when you become an emperor?" Even his own dear brother has to be killed, the eldest brother has committed suicide at the border, will the second brother follow in his footsteps? The emperor taught us to love each other and to be harmonious with each other from an early age. But I didn't expect that as soon as the emperor died, we would turn against each other. ”

Li Shan was also shocked in his heart, Li Heng was kind and kind, and he must be tired of this kind of struggle for power and profit. Li Shan didn't know when he became a cold-blooded person who killed people without blinking, and once upon a time he was afraid of even killing a chicken. But now that he is here, a human life is really nothing in his eyes. He was bent on changing the world, but now it seems that the world has changed him a little more.

If Li Heng can keep this pure heart, it will be a good thing for the people of Limin.

Li Shandao: "The emperor has a clear understanding, cannibalism is not the right way, but the royal road should be based on the people of Limin." If the emperor wants to become a generation of Ming Jun, he needs to give up his small family for everyone. If Your Majesty doesn't want to deal with Li Ying, it is better to leave it to me, and I will take him to Dali, where he will not have any trouble. I can also guarantee his personal safety. But Li Ying really couldn't stay in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Heng said: "This is a good way, the reason why I was able to ascend the throne and become the emperor is all due to the great help of my master." Master, what reward do you want? I promise you. ”

Li Shan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also the king of Dali now, and he doesn't need any reward from the emperor, as for the emperor, he can be diligent and love the people, which is the blessing of the minister." If Your Majesty feels grateful, the minister has several national policies that he hopes His Majesty will adopt, and if they are implemented, they will ensure that the Tang Dynasty will prosper for at least another hundred years. ”

Li Shan took out a copy of the memo and handed it to Li Heng, which was his reform of the Tang Dynasty's conditioning, in which the Jiedu envoy was removed and the military power was centralized and state-owned. Policies such as encouraging the free development of industry and agriculture, curbing land annexation, and encouraging foreign trade are all national policies that can prevent the Tang Dynasty from turning from prosperity to decline.

Li Heng was overjoyed and said: "Master has the talent to go through heaven and earth, but it's a pity that the emperor listened to slander and made Master's heroes useless, and I lost a national pillar in the Tang Dynasty." Master's advice will be taken by me, but if I don't reward Master for something, it really makes me feel uneasy. In this way, I will canonize Master as the King of Zhennan of Dali and the Prince of Jiupin. Another Taifu, if I make mistakes in the future, I will ask the master to blame me more. ”

Li Shan thanked the emperor, although history was inadvertently changed by Li Shan. But it is not a bad thing for Tang Suzong to take over now, and I hope that the changes in history will continue to move in a good direction. Li Shan doesn't have the ability to care about these things anymore, after all, he still has a lot of stalls in Dali. (To be continued.) )
