"In the fifteenth year of Chengshun, Wenzong collapsed in Qianyuan Palace. Su Zong succeeded to the throne, and the concubine was the queen, and the harem was paid. --"The Biography of Empress Xiaorenxian in the Book of Queens"

After Li Chun talked with the emperor, he only felt that he had no strength under his feet, so he had to hold on to the pillar and slowly come out.

Li Chun tried to hold back and not let the tears in his eyes flow out. It's just because his father told him that as a royal man, no matter how sad and sad he is, he must not shed tears in front of his subordinates, which is the self-esteem of a man in the Xin Dynasty. Even now, Li Chun does not dare to forget.

The imperial doctors in the hall were all in and out, and the queen Liu was also in, and Li Chun could vaguely hear the crying in it. He was bored, so he walked out, just thinking about getting some air.

Li Chun thought about the words that the emperor said to him, he really couldn't imagine how much effort it would take to lay out such a scheming plan. His father, until the last moment of his life, was also thinking about his son.

He was blowing the cold wind of the evening, and the courtyard was cold, and he couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly. Naturally, such a cold wind blew down, and the originally sleepy brain was much clearer. He can only be sober, for a while, there is still a battle to be fought.

"Your Majesty is dead! Your Majesty is dead!" The crying voice of the inner eunuch came from the Qianyuan Palace, and everyone exclaimed, "Queen Mother!" Queen Mother!" sounds.

In the fifteenth year of Chengshun, Emperor Li Qi died. Queen Liu was so sad that she fainted immediately.

The sound of the overwhelming cries of the people soon shook the entire palace, as if the tears of the palace people could evolve into a full river to express the sadness of the whole country.

Li Chun was stunned for a moment, as if his heart had suddenly collapsed. He lost his strength when he landed on his feet, and he could not maintain his posture even if he was supported by An, so he only sat upright on the ground.

The tears could no longer be stopped, even with the teachings of his father, he couldn't help it. Tears slid silently on his face, dripping on the white collar, and fainting the sad clouds.

The Empress Dowager rushed over, and saw that Li Chun was sad and had no color, so she gently persuaded her: "Chun'er, you should get better, now is not the time to be sad, you are the prince." Now that the emperor is gone, cheer up. Don't mess around. "

Li Chun was supported by the Empress Dowager, and then re-entered the Qianyuan Palace, the Empress Dowager looked at the queen who fainted there, her face was even more disgusted, and she said with a gloomy face: "Why don't you help the queen back to Kunming Palace?" There's nothing to make a mess of here. "

Everyone hurriedly followed, the Queen Mother was still dignified and self-controlled, and those who had experienced strong winds and waves were always able to keep a clear head in the face of big things.

"The emperor has died, and now is not the time for you to be sad. The kingdom shall not be without a king for a day, and ask a new king to take the throne, and you should be sad when you mourn. "

When everyone heard this, they reacted hurriedly, and bowed to the crown prince Li Chun together: "See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live."

Li Chun's mind was spinning, everything seemed so unreal. In this way, he actually became the monarch of this great dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." An stopped and persuaded on the side, and Li Chun reacted at this time.

Since it's true, even An Zhi calls himself "Your Majesty" instead of "Your Highness" as the crown prince should be called.

This title has changed to himself in this way.

The sound of "Your Majesty" lingered in his ears, and Li Chun still couldn't adapt to it, but this is the way it is, Li Chun is already a king.

Now he must have the decision that a king should have.

Li Chun was calm for a long time, and thought about the words of the Empress Dowager in his heart, so he ordered: "Don't say anything about the death of Emperor Daxing for the time being, when the courtiers go to court tomorrow, everything will be as usual." ”

The new emperor commanded, and everyone naturally obeyed everything. They all agreed to go down.

It's just that before the next morning, the palace gate was slammed and knelt outside by the Confucian students of the Kansai Party, all asking to see the emperor.

Naturally, they could not see the emperor, and the palace door was opened heavily because of the courtiers' request to see them. All the ministers felt that they were in the Taiyuan Palace, but they didn't see the emperor, only the crown prince Li Chun.

Zuo Xiang Qi Wei was stunned: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" The ministers want to ask to see His Majesty. ”

Li Chun showed a complicated smile on his face: "Oh? Zuo Xiang, Lord Zuo, why is this? Knocking on the palace door late at night is not in accordance with the rules! The law in the palace is here, who gave you the courage to come here? When he said the last two sentences, Li Chun's tone suddenly became stronger, which was enough to surprise everyone.

"Your Highness, the ministers heard that Your Majesty suddenly fell ill in the palace, so they came to visit." Zivi replied.

"Oh?" Li Chun smiled lightly: "Lord Zuo Xiang, what does this mean?" My father was sick and was also in the palace for treatment, but at ten o'clock in the night, the palace ban had been opened, so why should I come to visit? ”

And Zuo Xiang Qi Wei naturally didn't believe it, but said that the emperor was seriously ill, and it was already not good, so everyone came to visit. It is necessary to be prepared at all times to prevent the courtiers of the Dragon Funeral Heaven from being by his side and losing his respects.

Li Chun's face was cold, and he didn't look at Zuo Xiang Qi Wei, but only sat in front of the dragon throne, and said solemnly: "What does this mean?" My father's health is slightly ill, and now he is still fine, waiting for Tai to heal his body. The main palace came by order to take care of the rules of the palace. Don't get the rules wrong! ”

Where was Zuo Xiang Qi Wei willing to believe that he learned the news from his eyeliner in the palace that the emperor suddenly fell ill and was very bad, and he hurriedly recruited the prince into the palace. At that time, he learned that it was not good, and when he stayed at the palace gate, the entire palace was brightly lit, so he speculated that the emperor had died.

"I'll say it again, my father is fine, what else are you going to do?" Li Chun was already extremely angry and shouted loudly.

"Whether Your Majesty is okay or not, whether it is just a slight illness, please let His Highness let the ministers go to the Qianyuan Hall to ask for peace."

The anger on Li Chun's face burned more and more: "This palace sees that you are crazy!" Qianyuan Palace is a place for my father to rest, how can you be presumptuous! It's ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and the queen mother is still sick, you go in, are you going to collide with the queen? Disturb the peace of the harem? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just thinks about His Majesty's body." Another Kansai minister said below.

In this way, all the ministers of the Kwantan Party knelt down together and asked Li Chun to allow them to go to the Qianyuan Palace to visit the emperor. Li Chun naturally did not allow it, but everyone asked again and again, and even said: "If Your Highness does not let the ministers go to fulfill their filial piety, the ministers will definitely not be at ease." Please also ask Your Highness for permission, if Your Majesty is only slightly ill, the ministers will naturally confess. ”

Li Chun couldn't agree, and the two of them were deadlocked. It wasn't until the arrival of the Empress Dowager that this chaotic scene ended.

Although the Empress Dowager is a member of the Guanzhong Party, she has survived to this position and is highly respected. Even the Kansai Party has to be respected. Moreover, according to the etiquette law, the empress dowager is the backbone of the imperial family, and if necessary, even the emperor can abolish it, and the ministers can only obediently obey orders.

The solution given by the Empress Dowager was to let everyone in Kansai only greet the emperor through the window, and it would be enough to hear the emperor's voice.

Everyone walked to the Qianyuan Palace together, and saw the figure of the emperor wearing a dragon robe sitting in front of the bed, his voice was slightly hoarse, but it was definitely the emperor's voice. Seeing everyone coming like this, there was anger in his tone: "Are you breaking into the palace late at night, is that for you?" I'm in good health, do you have to say I'm not in good health? But do you want to curse me? ”

When everyone heard the emperor's anger, they knelt down like a sea of mountains and shouted: "The ministers don't dare." ”

There were already beads of sweat the size of beans on the foreheads of the faint of heart, trembling like chaff, and they couldn't even speak completely. For fear that the emperor would punish him.

"Everyone has also seen that the father is fine, and you are like this, but you are cursed to your majesty. You'd better pray that your father is really in good health, if there is any failure in the dragon's body tonight, you will curse the Holy Bow, enough for you to raid your family and destroy your clan! Li Chun threw down these words, and coldly flicked his sleeves and walked into the inner hall of Qianyuan Palace.

The ministers looked at each other, and Zuo Xiang Qi Wei was even more at a loss. The information he got was obviously correct. How so?

"Lord Zuo, how is this good?" All the ministers gathered around Zuo Xiang, and they all talked about it like this.

When everyone was anxious about this matter, they heard Li Chun's anxious voice coming from the hall: "Father, father, what's wrong with you?" Father? ”

Immediately, the Empress Dowager fiercely spread the "Xuan Taiyi!" Voice.

Then there was the emperor's faint breath, but he tried his best to say: "Curse! Curse!"

The entry and exit of the imperial doctor and the doctor made the Kwansai party even more flustered.

Half an hour later, a voice came from the hall: "Your Majesty has died!" ”

Early the next morning, the news of the emperor's death was announced to the world, and at the same time, the emperor's edict was issued: "A group of Kwantan people led by Zuo Xiang Qi Wei cursed the emperor, causing the emperor to suddenly become seriously ill." The crime is unforgivable, and the court has worked hard for many years, and he is specially exempted from the crime of killing the nine clans, and only expels a group of officials from the court. He also elected Xu Chong, a long-retired member of the Kwantan Party, as the new left minister, and the general Wang Li was named the general of the Zhenguo and was in charge of military power. ”

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Kwansai Party courtiers.

Immediately, the decrees of the new emperor Li Chun came down one after another, all of which reprimanded the courtiers of the Kansai Party, saying that they disrespected the Daxing Emperor and cursed the emperor, causing the Daxing Emperor to collapse and die.

And Concubine Qi, who is the daughter of Zuo Xiang Qi Wei, when she learned such news, ran to the Fengyi Hall where the crown princess and concubine Nai Ying were located as soon as possible, and took off the hairpin for her father's crime.
