Chapter 246: The Emperor Dies
After the emperor bleed from the stabbing on his head, he was in great spirits, and after a few days, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and left Qin Minghe's advice behind him, and went to Guifang Palace.
But because of the last incident, Li Zhi also knew that it was impossible to move Shangguan Wan'er, so he focused on several newly elected concubines, and increased his favor for the queen Wu Meiniang.
In this way, in December, on this day, the emperor felt light-headed and angry, and he suddenly remembered Qin Minghe's advice, but he also understood that even if he listened to the advice, he had come to an end, so he came to the Qianyuan Hall and sat behind the dragon case.
There was a provincial eunuch Gao Gonggong who served on the side, ordered someone to take the silk silk, and then wrote down the four big characters of "Edict of Succession".
"The crown prince Zhe, gentle and frugal, has the model of heaven and man early, and dreams of the emperor's instrument. All the princes and princesses are sincere, respect and protect the Yuanzi, and clone the great cause. The light of my seven hundred foundations, the wish of the vice president billions of trillions. After the end, he was buried in seven days. The world is the greatest, the sect is the most important, and the deed is inherited, and it cannot be temporary. The crown prince can be in front of the coffin, that is, the emperor's throne, if there is an indecision on military affairs, and take the queen of heaven. ”
After writing, let Fu Baolang take the jade seal, stamp the big seal, put it in the iron box that had been prepared, locked it, and put the key on his body.
After doing this, he felt that his breath was quite clear, his ears and eyes were clear, and he took the silk silk and wrote the "Edict of Amnesty".
Emperor Li Zhi instructed left and right: "When the Xuan Baiguan and the people of Luoyang go to the imperial city, I will personally go to the gate of heaven to read the edict!" ”
After a while, a eunuch told him. All the officials and the common people came to the imperial city. In fact, the so-called people are the elderly in each square.
So he went out of the Qianyuan Palace, rode out of the Qianyuan Gate and Yongtai Gate. When they arrived at the bottom of the Tianmen Tower, they felt that their anger was surging, their heads were splitting, and they suddenly planted their horses, and the eunuchs panicked. The officials were also stunned for a while.
Wu Qing shouted: "Don't carry your majesty back to the Qianyuan Palace, please ask the imperial doctor!" ”
Wu Qing saw that the eunuch was really slow, so he strode forward. Carrying Emperor Li Zhi to the Qianyuan Palace, when he arrived in the hall, Wu Qing put Li Zhi on the dragon couch. said: "The Holy Lord is resting, and the imperial doctor will be there immediately." ”
At this time, Baiguan followed.
The emperor held back the pain and said with a wry smile: "In the end, it is still Aiqing who has carried me here." Then he asked, "Are the people and all the officials coming?" ”
Wu Qing said: "Back to the saint, the officials and the people are here. ”
"It's good to come. Originally, I wanted to announce the edict in person. It seems that this time it should be read out by Aiqing for me. Li Zhi's white forehead was dripping with cold sweat at this time, and it was obviously extremely painful.
Wu Qing sighed in his heart, and arched his hand: "Weichen is willing to share the worries for the saint." ”
"Okay, Aiqing will read it outside the hall, and I can hear it." Li Zhi said with difficulty.
Wu Qing bowed down to take the holy decree, retreated to the temple gate, turned around and read the edict, and the officials and the people knelt on the ground.
The emperor said. I have been on the throne for thirty years and four years, and I have not been able to lead the soil to contain the lineage of me. Zhao Zi Xuanyuan, hoping that hundreds of officials will understand the purpose of Taoism, and they all advocate simplicity, saltiness and restoration. With the avenue and the beginning of the world, the beginning of the world, the change of the Yuan, the amnesty of the world"
The officials and the people bowed their heads and gave thanks.
At this time, the queen of heaven heard about it, and hurriedly came to the Qianyuan Palace, and ordered someone to carry Li Zhi back to the Zhenguan Palace. ”
The attendant replied, "All the people are glad that they have been forgiven." ”
After hearing this, Emperor Li Zhi sighed and said, "Although the common people are happy, my life is in danger." ”
When the queen of heaven heard this, she couldn't help crying: "Ah Lang don't think too much, he can recover after a few days of rest." ”
Princess Taiping also kept tears in her eyes and tried her best to comfort the emperor.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "If the gods of heaven and earth can prolong their lives for a month or two, they will have to return to Chang'an, and there will be no regrets in death!" ”
Princess Taiping cried: "Daddy, don't talk about it, tomorrow Daddy will be in good health, and he will be able to return to Beijing." ”
Wu Qing and the hundred officials did not go back, but waited for news in the official residence of the imperial city, and their faces were full of sadness. The face of every official was full of heaviness, and many officials understood that the emperor was probably coming to an end.
Not long after, Gonggong Gao sent a holy edict, "Confer Wuqing as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, move to Xuzhou to assassinate the history, remove General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, remove the servants of the Ministry and the three products under the same Zhongshu Sect." When he saw it, he immediately went to work. Chin this! ”
In an instant, Wu Qing's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and after thanking him, in the surprised eyes of the hundred officials, he quickly took off his official uniform, returned to the mansion, and ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, only took Yushu and Jiang Chuchen into the carriage, but in half an hour, he went out of Dingding Gate and galloped all the way south.
Let's not talk about Wuqing galloping all the way to the south, and talk about the emperor in the Zhenguan Palace.
The emperor retreated left and right, and let the queen of heaven and Princess Taiping go out. Because she had just issued an edict, Princess Taiping was shocked, but she couldn't help but worry about Wu Qing's life, if Wu Qing didn't go out of the city, then his life would be in danger.
"A-Niang let me out of the palace, okay? The daughter wants to save the horse! Princess Taiping cried, holding the hand of the queen of heaven.
Wu Shi frowned and said, "Look at the guards in this palace, you can't get out, and A-Niang can't come out, understand?" If the horses were wise, they would have gone out of the city. ”
At this time, only the crown prince Li Xian accompanied him in the Zhenguan Palace, Li Xian looked at Li Zhi, who was suffering from illness, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and said sadly: "God, let your sons bear the pain of your father, please stop torturing your father." ”
Emperor Li Zhi endured the pain and said, "Zhe'er, help Daddy up." ”
Li Xian hurriedly hugged Li Zhi and sat up slowly, Li Zhi said: "I have ordered someone to pass on Wuqing, and named him the history of Xuzhou Thorn, if he goes out of the city overnight, you can reuse him in the future, and it is okay to crown him as the king, if he does not go out of the city tonight, tomorrow morning, he will be given a banquet, but he can be drugged in the diet to kill him, don't bury the knife and axe, Wuqing martial arts are strong, ordinary people can't be subdued at all." Do you understand? ”
Li Xian hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Li Zhi continued: "Hey, I am really unwilling, the Tubo tiger looks at Longyou, Anxi is in the hands of the Tubo people, and the Eastern Turks established the Later Khanate, which is really my sin." You should also remember to me that after you ascend the throne, you will have to recapture the four towns of Anxi and destroy the Eastern Turkic Khanate. But if you can't do it, don't come to me when he dies. ”
Li Xian quickly fell to his knees and cried vigorously.
Li Zhi sighed, and then ordered: "Pei Yan will meet you in the Xuanzhi." ”
After a short time, Pei Yan came in a hurry, and now only Pei Yan has the highest official rank in the political affairs hall, and he is the real prime minister, and Li Zhixuan is obviously something.
After Pei Yan saluted, Li Zhi said: "I will not be long in coming, Pei Aiqing, after the crown prince ascends the throne, I will entrust this country and the prince to you." ”
This is to be on the deathbed, this is the supreme glory of the official, Pei Yan knelt on the ground, and then burst into tears, and said: "Your Majesty's trust, the minister can't repay His Majesty's kindness when he dies." ”
Li Zhi was a little out of breath and said: "The prince has only been in power for three years, if there is no Aiqing to assist, I can't rest assured." ”
"Your Majesty, don't say it, the ministers should do their best to assist the prince." Pei Yan couldn't cry.
Li Zhi showed a smile at this time and said to Li Xian: "Listen to Pei Qing's advice more in the future, and don't offend him, okay?" ”
"The child knows."
Li Zhi said: "I'm tired, you can step down, and call the Queen of Heaven and Taiping." ”
That night, Emperor Li Zhi died. Hundreds of officials mourn! (To be continued......)
