Chapter 90: Please Abdicate the Emperor!
Empress Dowager Dong and Xu Wen glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in their hearts.
Title the king with a different surname!
It turns out that this is the ultimate goal of Eunhae!
You must know that the entire Wu Dynasty has been until now, even when the rebellion of Emperor Ling collapsed, there was no person with a different surname.
Jiedu enables him to have various rights such as troop transfer, taxation, administration, etc., and can be called the emperor of the soil.
And the king of one word side by side, but he can be called the real emperor of a place, and he has all the power that the emperor has in the fief!
Obviously, Enhai is no longer satisfied with the status quo of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but wants to fight for more initiative.
You don't have to be completely tied to that throne.
Eunhae went on to say:
"The White Lotus Sect is powerful, the Zhenbei Army is eyeing each other, and the Xuanwu Army and the Right Army Governor's Mansion should form an alliance with this seat to attack and defend each other."
This is the third condition.
Empress Dowager Dong and Xu Wen had thoughts in their hearts at this time, and quickly thought about Enhai's words.
If it were anyone else, even if it was a certain festival, they would be absolutely against it.
After all, the festival of the world is now considered to be an equal, at most a general, once he is crowned king, he will completely have the name of righteousness, and he is naturally a head higher than others.
This is absolutely inadmissible.
But for Enhai, the eunuch, there is nothing.
After all, no matter how fierce Enhai's lust for power is, he is still a eunuch and has no descendants of his own.
After being crowned king, it was just rampant for a while at most.
Without offspring and heirs, it is naturally impossible to divide more blood relatives and form their own unbreakable "royal party" condensed by blood ties.
The significance of this king is greatly weakened.
And Enhai is right, now they don't have much conflict of interest with each other.
On the contrary, the White Lotus Sect gradually spread outward from Hedong Road, and the poison spread all over the world, which is even more alarming.
At the same time, He Xingzu, the envoy of Yanbei Jiedu and the general of Zhenbei, had great ambitions, and now he has annexed Guannan Sanwei and opened up the main road from Yanbei Road to the south.
If it really roars down from the north, the first to bear the brunt is Gyeonggi Province, Yancha Road, followed by Xuanwu Road and Hedong Road.
From this point of view, whether it is the Eunuch Party, the Hou Party or the Dongzhu Party, it is a grasshopper on a rope, and it is both a loss and a glory.
This fundamental common interest is also a fundamental reason why the three parties have not completely broken up for so long.
Empress Dowager Dong pondered for a moment and said:
"My father, Dong Chao, should be the general of the Southern Expedition, and the Jiannan Road and Weinan Road should be under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Jiedu Envoy."
The corners of Enhai's mouth raised slightly, and he said slowly:
"The Queen Mother has such a big appetite...... This seat promises you that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will issue an edict to announce to the world, as for whether the Jiannan Province Jiedu envoy and the Weinan Dao Jiedu envoy are willing, it depends on whether Dong Taigong's soldiers are sharp. ”
The Wu Dynasty's Jiedu envoy was to control and manage the place, and the position of general had the right to expropriate. With this will, the Xuanwu Festival made Dong Chao able to justifiably conquer the place.
Dong Wan'er did not mention the conditions for her father to be crowned king, after all, except for Enhai, who is destined to have no heirs, anyone else who dares to be crowned king directly will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
Empress Dowager Dong continued:
"I am a talent of the Xuanwu Shogunate, and I can enter the court as an official."
Eun Hai nodded slightly: "Yes." ”
Dong Wan'er leaned back lazily and said:
"In this way, the mourning family has no objection, waiting for King En's title."
Enhai laughed and said:
"This seat is favored by the emperor, and the queen mother is a good king for this seat...... Xu Ge Lao? ”
Xu Wen on the side smiled bitterly, and then said slowly:
"Since the Queen Mother has made a decision, how dare Xu disobey...... However, the old man can only represent the Dongzhu Party in deliberations, and cannot make decisions on behalf of the nine surnames and ten clans......"
Dong Wan'er sneered, understanding that this old man was a bitch and wanted to set up an archway.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Xu Wen straighten his waist, his eyes were full of essence, how could he still look a little drooping and old, but he was shrewd and capable, showing the true colors of this cabinet first assistant scholar, and quickly said:
"The right army governor Han Renlong started at the end of the micro, loyal to the monarch and the country, exhausted, a few days ago he has entered the Jiangling Zhao family in my nine surnames and ten clans, and his background is also there, when he is the envoy of the Fengyan Chadao Festival."
Enhai's eyes narrowed and he smiled:
"This surnamed Han is quick to see the opportunity...... There are dozens of festivals in the world, and he is not worse than a Yanchadao festival envoy, but. ”
Xu Wen continued:
"The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, the royal family is withering, and the imperial village in the world has been abandoned for a long time, which is really embarrassing.
Hearing this, Enhai and Dong Wan'er looked at Xu Wen with a trace of disdain in their eyes.
The imperial village of this Wu Dynasty has always been owned by the royal family, and it was originally used to support the royal family. Although the imperial family has declined in recent years, the imperial village has actually been reclaimed and used by many local people, but it still nominally belongs to the emperor.
The area is huge.
The Dongzhu Party actually set its sights on the land of Huangzhuang and wanted to swallow it justifiably.
Xu Wen didn't seem to feel the gaze of the two at all, and then said:
"The lord of the Bohai Kingdom sent 100,000 wolf soldiers to escort the envoy to pay tribute, and my big country should also give him a little sweetness, so as to appease the heart of the lord of the Bohai Kingdom, I think ...... How about two million pieces from the inner treasury? ”
Enhai sneered and said:
"Huangzhuang will give it to you, whoever recruits the wolf soldiers will send it, there is no money left in the inner library, it really can't be done, just take your Dongzhu Party to pick up a rich one and slaughter it, and send it to the lord of Bohai to send it over."
Xu Wen was originally retreating and trying to advance with the first two conditions, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"Then the family will pay for it, and you don't have to bother nine thousand years old...... In addition, the official positions in this place should also be loosened and loosened, and some of the families are people who have a lot of money but have no way to serve the country, and they also want to serve the court with a little money in their hands. ”
Hearing this, Enhai's eyes narrowed, a satisfied look appeared, and he nodded slowly:
"Naturally, this seat cannot chill the hearts of these righteous men."
It naturally doesn't hurt to exchange money for official positions, and his guards also need money to support them when they go to the direct army.
He naturally understood that this Empress Dowager Dong and Xu Wen only thought that he was just a eunuch and had no heirs, so there was no obstacle to a temporary compromise, but they didn't know the real power he possessed.
In time, the world will become something at his fingertips!
Next, some details are agreed upon, and there are other benefits exchanged.
The three of them stood so blatantly on top of this White Jade Dan Majesty, discussing the exchange of these interests in front of Li Yun, the emperor, including the domination of the emperor's abolition, as if Li Yun, the emperor, was like air.
After the agreement was understood, Enhai beckoned, and Li Mu, the king who had been standing next to him for a long time, immediately ran over with a flattering face and saluted Enhai and the others:
"Son Li Mu has seen his father, his mother, and Xu Gelao."
His demeanor was extremely humble.
Enhai patted Li Mu's shoulder and said to Empress Dowager Dong and Xu Wen:
"This is the dedication of the king Li Mu, gentle and frugal, quite virtuous, it is the emperor's capital, and he can ascend the throne as the emperor today."
Empress Dowager Dong and Xu Wen nodded slightly, nothing to do.
The emperor has changed five times in ten years, and it has been completely reduced to decoration.
For them, it's an absolute good thing.
Xu Wen suddenly asked:
"I just don't know how Your Majesty plans to place the emperor after he ascends the throne?"
Li Mu couldn't help but look at Li Yun who was sitting on the dragon chair on the side, and found that the other party's expression was indifferent, as if what they were talking about was something that had nothing to do with him at all.
Li Mu was originally a little jealous, but at this time, he felt Li Yun's indifferent eyes, but his heart was on fire, and he snorted coldly:
"Emperor Shunlong is mediocre, so happy, he makes the heavens angry and resentful, and the natural disasters continue, so he should apologize to the people of the world!"
Empress Dowager Dong frowned slightly, and she didn't like Li Mu's viciousness.
Xu Wen was calm, not knowing what he was thinking.
Enhai said lightly:
"Naturally, it depends on the emperor's preference."
After thoroughly agreeing on the distribution of interests, Xu Wen returned to the ministers under His Majesty Bai Yudan at this time, and the Queen Mother once again made a gesture of motherhood.
Enhai shook the dust in his hand, stepped to the altar of the sacrifice, and said loudly:
"Sacrifice to the heavens, reveal!"
In an instant, the drums sounded in unison, and the entire square of the Taihe Hall was filled with peaceful music.
On the altar of the sacrifice, the officials of Taichang Temple immediately took out an edict and began to read it aloud:
“…… I am young and flattering, and I can't promote the flow of weathering, but I feel against yin and yang, so that the people are famine, and they eat each other. Eternal mourning, if attached to the abyssal water. It's my fault that I didn't get ...... help."
This is a guilty edict!
Li Yun, the emperor, had not even read this edict before it was read out in public.
In this edict, whether it is the collapse of the world, the war or the continuous disasters, all the sins are attributed to Li Yun, the emperor, alone.
Listening to the reading of the edict, Li Yun was still expressionless, and in the eyes of the civil and military officials, it was the emperor who had been frightened and had no ability to resist at all.
“…… Now we should abdicate and introspect, and the virtuous will live in ......"
When the edict was read, it was immediately a drum beat.
Then, Enhai turned his head to look at Li Yun, shook the dust in his hand, and said loudly:
"In order to appease the wrath of heaven and plan for the people of the world, the emperor should punish himself to show the world...... I respectfully ask the emperor to abdicate! ”
As soon as Eun Hai's words fell, most of the hundreds of officials below shouted in unison:
"I respectfully ask the emperor to abdicate!"
Whether it is the eunuch party, the Hou party, or the Dongzhu party, whether it is an official of the family, or a child of the clan, or an official who is attached to the eunuch party, all reached an agreement at this time.
Please abdicate the emperor!
A small number of officials who are clear and have not formed a party have become outliers.
Li Mu, the king on the side, was excited and excited.
Soon, he will become emperor!
Most of the people present understood at this time that this was just a formality, and it didn't matter whether the emperor wanted it or not, everything had already been decided.
There was silence in front of the Taihe Palace, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to abdicate.
At this moment, he heard the emperor chuckle, shook his head with a little disappointment and said:
"Wait for these chaotic ministers and thieves, the eyes of the rats are inched, is there only this beast to do?"
The ministers were in an uproar, in their impression, Emperor Shunlong was just a cowardly and incompetent teenager, and he dared to say this? Is this trying to rebel or not?
Enhai's eyes narrowed, and he smiled indifferently:
"The emperor is tired, go, take off the crown for the emperor, and change his clothes."
Several eunuchs immediately walked towards the emperor, without the slightest awe in their eyes, but with banter.
At this moment, I heard the emperor say aloud:
"Where is Wu Linwei!?"
