A group of cavalry was followed by a eunuch holding an imperial list, which was posted on the bulletin board of Fang City.

All the people were dumbfounded.

"Get out of the way, let me see what is written on the emperor's list."

"Let's go and see the excitement together!"

"I guess it's probably because King Shou fulfilled his promise and the whole city was tax-free for three years."

The people didn't even eat breakfast, and walked in groups of three or five towards the poster of the emperor's list.

As they expected.

The emperor is the notice of Anmin, announcing that the people in Chang'an City are exempt from tax for three years.

There is also a gathering of hundreds of officials who are still in the city, and rush to the palace in the afternoon.

……

Daming Palace.

Gao Xianzhi was tied with his hands.

Li Mao sat upright on the dragon chair.

Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, Lu Bu, and Gao Shun stood on the left and right sides respectively.

The two eunuchs, Zhao Gao and Xiao Fuzi, stood at the back of the side.

"Give me a good time!"

Gao Xianzhi shouted loudly, not looking like a defeated general at all.

Li Mao frowned slightly.

This Gao Xianzhi is indeed a foolish and loyal person as recorded in the history books.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan soldiers were in Tongguan.

Bian Lingcheng carried the warrant of Emperor Xuanzong, slandering him for embezzling military rations and deducting rewards, but when the whole army shouted for him, he still calmly went to his death.

At that time, as long as he was bold and disobeyed the trumped-up Xuanzong's command, it was impossible for Bian Lingcheng to execute him in the army.

Last night, too, it was clear that the main general Pei Kuan chose to watch from the wall, not wanting to participate in the infighting of the royal family.

He, a general of Qianniuwei, actually incited the soldiers to rebel, and wanted to rush into the palace to save Li Longji.

Thinking of this, Li Mao shook her head helplessly.

"This person is stubborn, put him in prison first!"

The guards on the left and right immediately stepped forward.

Gao Xianzhi was not afraid at all, and still shouted loudly.

"Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished!"

"When Your Majesty gathers all the soldiers and horses in the world, it will be the time when you are destroyed!"

Gao Xianzhi became a prisoner of the subordinates, still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival that Li Longji would counterattack.

"Humph!"

Li Mao sneered.

Originally, he thought that Gao Xianzhi was a talent, and planned to let him go and let him complete the unfinished business of the previous world.

I didn't expect him to be so uninteresting.

"Gao Shun, drag him out for me and cut him down!"

"The last will obey!"

Just as Gao Shun was about to take people out, a little eunuch suddenly walked into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong and Zhongshu Ling Xiao Song ask to see you!"

Li Mao was overjoyed when she heard this.

Xiao Song was born in a famous family, and after the Xiao family of Lanling, he was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang Ming.

When he first joined the army in Zhaozhou, he was promoted and appreciated by Prime Minister Lu Xiangxian and Yao Chong, and he was relocated to the history of Songzhou Assassination, and became the Shangshu Zuo Cheng and the military department.

As the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, he used a counter-plot to get rid of the Tubo general Xinuo Luo Gonglu, and appointed the famous general Zhang Shouqi and others, and defeated Tubo.

Entering the dynasty is the prime minister, worshiping is the Zhongshu order, and he is named Xu Guogong.

Xiao Song was also the first former official to take the initiative to see.

And also a big official.

As long as you can subdue this person, you can get off to a good start.

The rest of the remaining officials in the court will definitely bow their heads and bow down.

"Xuan!"

Li Mao hurriedly sat up straight and took out a look of emperor majesty.

"Xuan Xiaosong enters the palace to meet you!"

Zhao Gao, who was behind him, immediately pulled up his duck-like voice and shouted loudly.

Li Mao looked down and saw Gao Xianzhi tied up again.

I think this person is very much of an eyesore.

But now there are ministers asking to see him, and it is not the time to see blood.

So he waved his hand and said to Gao Shun: "First put this person in prison temporarily, and wait until this afternoon to see who does not come, and then they will be executed together." ”

……

Xiao Song is sixty years old this year, but his face does not show his old age.

After he entered the palace, he kept looking around.

Last night's bloody battle took place outside the Suzaku Gate.

Li Longji ran away suddenly, and the palace was not affected in the slightest.

The palace maids and eunuchs performed their duties under the arrangement of Zhao Gao and Xiao Fuzi.

This peaceful scene does not show that there has been a bloody battle of 100,000 people in Chang'an City.

After Xiao Song walked into Daming Palace, he did not kneel down directly, but raised his head and looked directly at Li Mao.

"Bold!"

Zhao Gao saw that the people in the hall were so rude, and immediately shouted loudly.

In feudal society, only courtiers with ill intentions dared to look directly at the emperor.

Li Mao frowned slightly.

It seems that this Xiao Song is not good!

"Xiao Song, you are so bold! When you see Your Majesty, you don't kneel? What are your intentions? ”

Li Linfu faced Xiao Song and reprimanded.

He and Xiao Song have always been at odds.

If Li Mao hadn't rebelled, next year, Li Linfu would have used a plan to squeeze Xiao Song out of the court.

Xiao Song faced the reprimands of the two, but he was not in a hurry.

first bowed deeply to Li Mao, and then slowly spoke.

"I only saw King Shou in Daming Palace, where did your majesty come from?"

"What's more, I am now the Zhongshu Order, the official residence is a product, and the rank is higher than the prince. I don't need to kneel when I see King Shou now, right? ”

Li Linfu was secretly happy when he heard this.

He had long wanted to bring down Xiao Song.

Now that the other party has handed over the knife, where would he give up such a good opportunity?

"Presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty has been in the Tang Dynasty yesterday, don't you say you don't know?"

"I see that you are clearly thinking about the puppet emperor Li Longji, and you want to conspire to rebel!"

Then, Li Linfu said to Li Mao: "Your Majesty, this person has a false emperor in his heart, and he should be executed immediately!" ”

"Hahaha...... Puppet Emperor? ”

Xiao Song laughed.

"If Emperor Xuanzong is a puppet emperor, then what is the person sitting on the dragon chair now?"

"Is the son of the puppet emperor the true emperor?"

As soon as this statement came out.

There was silence in the Daming Palace.

All could not find a suitable reason to refute it.

The same goes for Li Mao.

This question concerns the origin of the imperial legal system.

It turns out that the owner of the body is indeed Li Longji's son, which is a well-known fact in the world.

If Li Longji is a puppet emperor, wouldn't it be Tang Ruizong's brother or nephew Li Dan who has the legitimacy to inherit the throne.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty could have been born.

In this way, I don't know how many people in the world will covet it.

Xiao Song was secretly relieved to see that Li Mao was not angry and wanted to cut off his head.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, the emperor died of a cold last night, so you don't have to be too sad."

"If you are too sad, where should you put the thousands of subjects of the Tang Dynasty?"

"The most important thing now is to immediately handle the aftermath of the emperor, and at the same time announce to the world that the yuan will be changed and ascended to the throne!"

After Xiao Song finished speaking, he waited for Li Mao's reply with great confidence.

Li Mao is now full of doubts.

Li Longji died?

I escaped last night, why did I suddenly die?

Or did you catch a cold and die?

In this June day, you can still be infected with wind and cold and die?

Wrong!

Xiao Song means that it doesn't matter if he Li Longji is dead or not, just announce that he is dead.

Anyway, from the time he fled the palace, it was politically possible to declare him dead.
