Li Henggao sat on the top, looking at the slightly empty hall below, his face was extremely gloomy.

There are more than 40 ministers who are qualified to participate in the council, but there are less than 20 people here. The rest of the people were no longer able to come, because they were all dead.

The Persian Temple, hidden under the water, burst out of the last strength in a desperate situation, and the entire Chang'an City was shaken.

More than half of the important ministers of the palace were assassinated, which was a naked slap in the face.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely dull. Even if it is a colleague who does not deal with it on weekdays, knowing that the other party died tragically at this time, it is inevitably sad that the rabbit and fox died.

Datang Dynasty, how could such a thing ever happen! At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in Chang'an City, so many ministers died overnight, and even His Royal Highness King Yongwang was injured a lot, which is worth it! Those damn killers, what are they trying to do?

"Guys, what should we do about this?" Li Heng's gaze swept over everyone, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, and he slowly spoke.

The ministers didn't speak, they didn't know what was going on, what the Assassins were all about, and though they were angry, they didn't have any statutes.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of your family, Gu was also shot with an arrow last night, just above Suzaku Street." Li Heng pointed to his right leg and said with a sneer.

The ministers were all taken aback, and hurriedly greeted one by one, Li Heng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that it hurts the flesh and skin, and it will be good to raise it for a few days." - Everyone, someone wants to kill Guang Gu and this Manchu minister! Someone wants to overthrow my Datang's Jiangshan Sheji! As he spoke, he slapped the back of his chair suddenly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Li Heng has always given people the feeling of generosity, and everyone has never seen him like this. It's all in my heart. Someone saw Zhang Xun's solemn face but didn't say a word. Then he spoke: "Lord Zhang." Please tell us about it. Why did those Hu people suddenly go crazy and do such evil things? ”

Zhang Xun said in a deep voice: "My fair dancers, they should entertain people with their voices, but they are all cold-blooded killers. Obviously, the other party is scheming and plotting against me for a long time. So it's not a sudden madness, it's just a dog jumping off the wall. ”

The crowd listened. When I thought about it, I nodded. The hidden master is in the Gongqing's house, obviously harboring evil intentions, which shows that the other party has long been arranging.

"These days, His Royal Highness has entrusted me with a heavy task, which is to investigate the case of the Persian traitor, and now I have almost won a complete victory, and the other party is forced to be helpless, so I do not hesitate to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and I want to break the net. The other party has obviously been forced into a desperate situation by doing this, and this is a return to the light. ”

Saying that, Zhang Xun looked at Li Heng. solemnly said: "Your Highness, the more so. The more it shows that the Persian traitors are already desperate, so this is the decision. They used to be in the shadows, but now they have to go to the light. ”

Li Heng nodded: "What Zhang Qing said is reasonable, and Gu also understands, but the Persian Temple made a force, and actually made Gu lose half of his important ministers, and their strength is still not to be underestimated." More than 40 hectares were stabbed, and the female assassin only lost one person, and the rest all successfully escaped! These Hu Xuan dancers are hiding in Chang'an City, and since they are cornered, they will inevitably have another incident, you Aiqing, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, and I don't want to wait for the next court meeting, there are a few fewer of you here. ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they all looked at Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun is now in power, and everyone wants to see what he will say.

Zhang Xun's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the hidden strength of the Persian Temple is really beyond the expectations of the ministers, and now they have torn their faces, and it is inevitable that there will be recurrent incidents. Wechen would do his best to arrest the escaped female assassins and purge the Persians of the remnants, but the Long Wu Army was ultimately unable to do such things. Your Highness, the most suitable force to do such things must come forward, so that this disaster can be eliminated as soon as possible, and the hearts of the people in Chang'an City can be stable. Otherwise, people will be panicked. ”

When Li Heng heard this, he furrowed his brows and was silent. He didn't know that to deal with this kind of dark force, the most important thing to do was Lijingmen. The Emperor of Lijingmen has not used it for many years, and as soon as he used it, he found that the Persian temple was dense, and now many assassins are scattered in Chang'an City, and if he wants to arrest him as soon as possible, he naturally needs the power of Lijingmen. However, he didn't know where Lijingmen was.

Lijingmen has always wanted only the Son of Heaven to be loyal alone, but he is not the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

When the ministers heard this, they didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Xun's words. A few people thought of Lijingmen, but they didn't dare to speak, after all, for them, the existence of Lijingmen was just a legend.

Zhang Xun looked at Li Heng solemnly, and seeing Li Heng's hesitant expression, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Highness, for the Tang Dynasty and for the hundreds of millions of people in the world, Weichen implores His Highness to conform to the will of the people and ascend the throne as the emperor!" ”

When everyone saw this posture, they hurriedly knelt on the ground one after another, imploring Li Heng to ascend the throne as emperor.

This kind of thing, since His Majesty is no longer on the road, the court meetings often appear, everyone understands that Li Heng is indeed a benevolent and filial person, and he did not find the Son of Heaven and did not want to ascend the throne, but at this time, everyone will say a few nice words, and no one will say something like disagreement at this time, making themselves uncomfortable.

Anyway, this kind of thing happens from time to time, just like acting, everyone pleaded, and then His Highness refused as usual, and finally it was over, every time it was the same.

The ministers expressed their support for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne one after another, and then they all peeked at the crown prince above. According to the usual practice, the crown prince would sternly refuse at this time, but this time, His Royal Highness the crown prince turned out to be ...... Pondered!

Everyone's hearts were beating wildly, and their hearts were about to change?

Li Heng wrinkled his brows, and he was really embarrassed in his heart.

He understood what Zhang Xun said, to sweep away the remnants of the Persian Temple, it is not enough to rely on the Beiya Forbidden Army, and the best way to deal with the forces in the dark is to gain the allegiance of the Persian Temple, then there is only one way to ascend the throne and claim the emperor.

If you don't use the power of Lijingmen, relying on Long Wujun and Zhang Xun to take your time, of course, you can finally wipe out the remnants of the Persian Temple, but it will take a long time, and at that time, I don't know how many people will die in the hands of those female assassins, maybe he, the prince of the prison country, will really become a loner.

And there are rumors on the Tingzhou side, and there are too many things to do, and we can't just focus on dealing with these female assassins who have emerged.

In fact, there is another thing that also affects his decision, that is, Li Lan's injury.

has always been extremely fond of this younger brother Li Heng, although Li Ling is his younger brother, he was raised by him, not so much a younger brother, more like a son. This time, Li Ling's injury made him extremely angry, and for the female assassin who stabbed Li Lan, Li Heng couldn't wait to catch the broken body immediately.

After pondering for a long time, Li Heng finally made up his mind.

Anyway, I have no selfish intentions, I will find my father in the future, and then return the throne to him.

Looking at more than a dozen ministers kneeling on the ground, Li Heng slowly leaned back on the chair and waved his hand tiredly: "Since that's the case...... That's it, that's it! Lone will listen to you once - Zhang Qing, all Aiqing, Lone agreed! ”

Everyone's expressions were shocked, and they understood that Datang had finally changed the sky. At this time, Zhang Xun had already begun to kowtow, the mountain shouted long live, where did everyone dare to slack off, one by one leaned down to kowtow hard, shouting long live.

……

On August 15, the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Chang'an City.

Li Heng, the crown prince of the prison state, ascended the throne and became the emperor, honored the missing Li Longji as the emperor, and changed the yuan to virtue. The history of the Tang Empire has since opened a new chapter.

When the news came out, Chang'an City was boiling, and it was really a jubilant and encouraging crowd.

For nearly half a year, there was no real master in this empire, although people remembered Li Longji's kindness, but there was no Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, and people's hearts could not settle down. The name of the crown prince Li Hengren and filial piety has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is expected that he will ascend the throne and become the emperor. Now that there is a Son of Heaven again, the people can be regarded as having a backbone.

This incident is a big surprise for the people of Chang'an. The dark clouds brought about by the killing of a large number of ministers last night have also disappeared under the impact of this news.

With the emperor, there is a backbone, and everyone has a charter for doing things. As for those beam-jumping clowns, no matter what tricks they play behind their backs, it is impossible to shake the foundations of this great empire.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will naturally be a new atmosphere. The first decree came out, that is, Zhang Xun, the secretary of the household department, was the right minister, the head of the hundred officials. And this position was originally vacated by the Emperor Taishang for General Ma Xuan.

The reputation of Zhang Xun is not even as good as Ma Lan, but it is the power of the Son of Heaven to appoint hundreds of officials, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. Although this Zhang Xun is a little more vicious, he is a cadre after all, not a corpse vegetarian.

General Ma Xuan has already gained enough power, and it is also common for the new monarch to ascend the throne and suppress his power.

The second decree was based on the meritorious service of the Northern Expedition, and the five generals of An Sishun, Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Siye, and Li Jing were given the titles of Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Sect. At this time, there are five more prime ministers in Datang. Originally, there was only one Ma Lan, who was in the same middle school, but now it has suddenly become six.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this decree is still secretly reducing the power position of General Ma Lan. But the people don't care, the Son of Heaven naturally has the truth of the Son of Heaven, thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and all courtiers should obey.

The new monarch ascended the throne, and Chang'an City naturally had to be lively. Since the emperor has not yet been found, the Son of Heaven ordered the cancellation of all ceremonies, which made the people praise again. If there is no official ceremony, everyone will still be lively in private.

All this news was good news after all, but in the afternoon there was not so good news. After hearing the news of Li Heng's ascension to the throne, Concubine Yang committed suicide in the Huaqing Palace. After all, this was a trivial matter, and everyone sighed and quickly forgot about it. (To be continued......)
