Empress Wei, Princess An Le and others were killed very smoothly, but the very important Zong Chuke and his younger brother Zong Jinqing disappeared. Even so, Princess Taiping and Li Longji had no choice but to order a large-scale search of the entire city. But no matter how the soldiers searched, they still didn't see the shadow of the Zong Chuke brothers.

Until dawn, the soldiers guarding the Tonghua Gate in the east of Chang'an suddenly saw a man wearing mourning clothes and riding a green donkey with a suspicious expression. So some soldiers rushed forward to check, and it turned out that this person was Zong Chuke.

I saw the soldier say proudly: "Prime Minister Zong, it's been a long time. ”

After speaking, the knife fell in his hand, and Zong Chuke's head and body were immediately separated.

Soon after, Zong Jinqing was also found out and beheaded.

……

The Wei rebellion was peaceful, but the question of imperial power was not resolved. Emperor Chongmao is a useless puppet with no value, and Princess Taiping wants to replace him with his brother. She asked Emperor Yan: "Nephew Chongmao, how does this emperor feel?" ”

"Auntie, don't say it, I've been the emperor for more than ten days, and I've been scared all day long, and I haven't tasted anything."

"This emperor, you are not a child, you are still young now, and you will be it when you grow up. First give up the throne to Uncle Xiangwang. ”

Emperor Yan felt that it was really not much fun for this broken emperor to be in front of him, so he said: "Okay, everything is up to my aunt." ”

The next morning, there did not seem to be any sign of a coup d'état in the Taiji Hall. Most of the uninformed people exchanged pleasantries and talked and laughed. Cui Xiang raised his head and swept among the courtiers, and he immediately realized. The coup d'état was successful, because there were no more court officials surnamed Wei in the main hall, and his mood suddenly gloomy: the coup was successful. It's a pity that Wan'er can't see it.

Sure enough, it was like Cui Xiang's guess. As soon as the time of the early dynasty arrived, the prime minister Li Dan and Princess Taiping walked up to the main hall together. The sudden appearance of their brother and sister shocked the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials. They looked at the brother and sister with a spring breeze on their faces, but then erupted in a burst of cheers. Because they finally saw that the Tang Dynasty, which had fallen into power with the death of Zhongzong Li Xian, had finally returned to the Li family in the true sense.

The Taiji Palace went to the court to discuss the matter, and Princess Taiping announced: "Emperor Yan said that he is still young. Give up the throne to Uncle Xiangwang. What do you think? ”

Liu Youqiu immediately went out of class and knelt down and played: "In the eventful autumn of the country, you should be the heir of the emperor who is highly respected and old, and the king is kind and generous. Most appropriately. ”

The ministers also echoed and unanimously said that the prime minister should be the emperor.

King Xiang repeatedly excused himself, saying that he was not suitable.

Everyone persuaded each other again and again, and he reluctantly agreed.

Only the Emperor sat on the throne and did not open his mouth. Yesterday he promised to abdicate. But then I thought about it, and after abdicating, no one would kowtow to me again, and I couldn't help but feel a little lost. When he saw Uncle Xiangwang pushing around, he thought that he was inappropriate, and it was still mine, so he sat still. Later, the king agreed, and he was still stunned on the royal chair and did not move. When Princess Taiping saw it, she stepped forward and pulled it down. Pushed King Xiang up again.

Suddenly, the Qunchen Mountain below shouted long live. King Bai Xiang ascended the throne, this is the second time he has ascended the throne, and the title of the original Ruizong remains the same.

Ruizong Li Dan didn't expect that after being the emperor for two months twenty-six years ago, he was abolished by his mother Wu Zetian, and he had already died of this mind. Now, I've been pushed up again, and I can't do it if I don't want to. It seems to be a fixed number. He only sat in the court and bowed down to the ministers.

Then, Ruizong Li Dan was crowned a hero.

Li Tao, the king of Lantian, was named the king of Qin. You must know that King Qin was the title of Emperor Taizong back then, which shows the importance that Ruizong attached to Li Tao. However, after Ruizong issued the order, Li Tao did not thank him. It turned out that Li Tao didn't come at all.

Liu Xuan came out at this time and said: "King Lantian suddenly fell seriously ill yesterday, so he asked Weichen to come to confess, he can't go to the court, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Li Tao accompanied Ruizong all night last night, how could Ruizong not know that Li Tao was talking nonsense, but he didn't expose it, just smiled: "Then let Tao'er rest, he is also tired these days." ”

"Weichen thanked His Majesty for the reward of King Lantian!" Liu Xuan thanked him.

Princess Taiping is the second credit, but her title has reached the top, and she has sealed ten thousand households.

Other Zhong Shaojing is the Zhongshu Ling, Liu Youqiu is the Zhongshu Sheren, and Xue Chongjian, Chen Xuanli, Ge Fushun, Song Jing, etc., each has a reward.

In addition, Ruizong's five sons were also crowned kings. The eldest Li Chengqi was named King Ning, the second Li Chengyi was named King Shen, the third Li Longji was named King Ping, the fourth Li Longfan was named King Qi, and the fifth Li Longye was named King Zhao.

Just as Ruizong was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, Liu Xuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book to play!" ”

"I don't know what Liu Aiqing has to play?" Ruizong said kindly.

"Weichen is playing for King Qin!"

"Tao'er?" Ruizong was stunned: "What does Tao'er have to play?" ”

"The King of Qin once had a precedent of saving people with his title, so I implore His Majesty to continue to grant him this privilege."

The ministers of civil and military affairs can't help but admire this legendary county king, it seems that the position of King Qin is nothing in his eyes.

Ruizong didn't know that Li Tao was paving the way for retirement, but he couldn't refuse, after all, there was indeed a precedent for this when he was in Zhongzong. It seems that Li Tao really intends to throw himself in the position of the emperor and go to enjoy light blessings by himself.

The depressed Ruizong had no choice but to say unhappily: "Quasi-play!" ”

Liu Xuan said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has a book to play!" ”

"What else?"

"It's still for King Qin!"

"Say it!"

"King Qin, please cut off the title of prince to ensure the safety of Emperor Li Chongmao."

Ruizong said: "Tao'er is too worried, Chongmao is my nephew, I won't do anything to him!" ”

"King Qin said that emperors who have abdicated since ancient times rarely have a good end, just because his identity is too special. Your Majesty is certainly merciful and will not do anything to the Emperor, but how can you ensure that everyone is like this? If there are unscrupulous people who take advantage of this to make waves, the Emperor will inevitably die without a place to be buried, and the King of Qin will cut off his title and ask to take the Emperor back to the palace to ensure his safety and avoid further twists and turns. ”

Liu Xuan's words made Ruizong even more depressed, what he said was indeed reasonable, so he couldn't refute it, so he had to agree. After thinking about it, Ruizong said again: "Tao'er's performance is accurate, so keep the title of King of Qin!" ”

"King Qin said, Your Majesty's accession to the throne is bound to sweep away the decadence of Wei's chaotic government, the country has national law, he can't break the national law because of himself, this title must be cut off."

It seems that Li Tao has eaten Ruizong, he first accepted Ruizong's reward, and then spit out the reward in another way, so that Ruizong didn't even have a reason to refuse. (To be continued......)
