Chapter 43: Greetings to My King
The emperor learned that the Tai Zhongyuan he trusted very much turned out to be a spy inserted in the south, and he just didn't believe it at first, but after reading the confession written by the Tai Zhongyuan himself, he was immediately angry, spit out a mouthful of blood, and in a fit of anger, he asked the whole family of the Tai Zhongyuan to be directly executed, and even the people in the palace never let go.
After this incident, the Son of Heaven trusted the commander of the forbidden army even more, but he never gave him the Imperial Pen Dragon Talisman.
When today's son has a very favored concubine, Ning Guifei Li Yuelin, born in a scholarly family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry are also at hand, she is different from other harem concubines, all day long only know intrigue, but never say bad things about other concubines in the emperor's ear, the emperor loves him very much, although he is not named the queen, but his status in the harem is more transcendent, that is, the queen also respects her for three points, of course, all this is inseparable from her background, because she is the daughter of Li Linfu, the secretary of the court。
The Great Xia court is divided into two camps, one is the pro-establishment party headed by the prince Zhao Shengde, although the prince has a bad reputation and has little ability, but these people have always kept his identity as the prince, the reason is that he is the eldest son of the current emperor, and the other camp is the abolition of the party headed by the Taifu Sima Hao, advocating the abolition of the current prince and re-electing the virtuous person to establish the prince.
However, Li Linfu, who is the Zhongshu Ling, has always maintained neutrality and has never participated in party struggles, he can be left and right between the two parties, neither standing in line, but also in a high position, which shows that he is a very capable person, of course, all because he has won the trust of the current emperor, the emperor naturally does not want to see his courtiers form a party for personal gain, so he has always favored the ministers who have not participated in the party struggle, Li Linfu is undoubtedly regarded by him as a confidant, and since Li Yuelin was accepted as a concubine, Li Linfu has become a relative of the emperor, and the emperor has more trust in this prince。
Li Yuelin because of the emperor's favor, so she can often go home freely to save relatives, no, on the first day of September, she ordered someone to make some delicious pastries, and went home to visit her unwell mother in person.
Zhongshu Lingfu, in the back garden, Li Linfu retired from all his subordinates and talked with his daughter alone, Li Yuelin personally made tea for his father as when he was in the boudoir, without the slightest shelf as a concubine.
"Yue'er, what's the situation in the palace now?" Li Linfu took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
"The daughter has been giving His Majesty medicine according to her father's instructions, and he has always maintained his current state, confused and unconscious. Li Yuelin lowered his head and fiddled with the tea set, and replied in a calm voice.
Li Linfu nodded slightly, and after he pondered for a moment, he said slowly:
"When you go back, change the medicine. ”
Li Yuelin's hand moved suddenly, the tea in the pot overflowed, she was silent for a moment, then nodded, although she didn't ask much, but she knew very well what it meant, her father gave her two medicines, the first one made Dang Jinzi be in a trance all day long since he was sick, and he was never able to go to the court to participate in politics, and the second, once he took it, I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to go to the court.
............
On the second day of the ninth month of the twenty-seventh year of Jing'an, the death knell in the palace rang for a long time, and the emperor died!
The next day, Zhongshu ordered Li Linfu to hold the edict of the imperial pen, announcing that the current crown prince Zhao Shengde would succeed to the throne and become the new Emperor of Great Xia.
As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he accepted Meng Yi as the commander of the forbidden army, removed the word "temporary generation", gave the royal pen dragon talisman, had the right to tune first and then play, and crowned the auxiliary minister Li Linfu as Dazai, faintly There are signs of the head of a hundred officials, and now Zhao Shengde is obedient to Li Linfu, if there is no Li Linfu, whether he can successfully ascend the throne is still a question.
On the third day after Zhao Shengde succeeded to the throne, that is, on the seventh day of the ninth month, the army of the king came to Shengjing City side by side.
In addition to the 80,000 forbidden troops in today's imperial capital, there are tens of thousands of Red Flame Army garrisoned, these Red Flame Army was originally brought back by Zhao Binghuan, the king of Ning, but since King Ning died, they stayed in the capital as city guards, with this elite of the Red Flame Army and 80,000 forbidden troops, the court will also be relieved, although there are hundreds of thousands of people side by side, but if they want to attack the imperial capital of the city wall and high base, it is definitely not possible to do it in a day or two, they only need to wait for the two princes in the north to rush back with a million troops, and the crisis from the south will naturally be solved。
However, when the army of the king came to the city, there was a sudden chaos in the city, and the commander of the forbidden army, Meng Yi, wanted to arrest Yan Song, the commander of the Red Flame Army, on the charge of colluding with foreign enemies and attempting to rebel, Yan Song naturally would not sit idly by, and tens of thousands of Red Flame Army would never agree, plus they were the world-famous Red Flame Army, they were the confidants of King Ning, and they were naturally arrogant, and under being so slandered, it was inevitable to do some radical things, so a conflict between the Red Flame Army and the Forbidden Army broke out suddenly.
Just when there was chaos in Shengjing City, Haotian led 200,000 dragon cavalry and hundreds of thousands of allied troops to the outside of the city gate.
The huge city gate of more than 20 zhang was slowly opened, thousands of forbidden troops poured out of the city gate, splitting both sides, Zhongshu ordered Li Linfu to wear a Confucian shirt, from the city to ride a horse, beside him, side by side is the commander of the forbidden army Meng Yi, the two walked to the front of the Haotian army, turned over and dismounted, Li Linfu towards the handsome young man wearing a black dragon robe on the huge chariot in the army, deeply furled, and shouted loudly:
"Welcome to my king and enter the imperial capital. ”
Beside him, Meng Yi, who was wearing a black heavy armor and black cloak, also looked excited, bowed down and spoke, and a voice like Hong Zhong Dalu sounded:
"Welcome to my king and enter the imperial capital!"
At the same time, up and down the city tower, tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on the ground at the same time, shouting:
"Welcome to my king and enter the imperial capital!"
"Welcome to my king and enter the imperial capital!"
"Welcome to my king and enter the imperial capital!"
