The situation in the court is confusing.

Several princes angrily denounced the ten major crimes of the Chunyang Palace at the chicken-like routine court meeting held by the six auxiliary ministers, and the princes and their vassals who were targeted by these princes everywhere fought for the majority to overwhelm the minority, and one by one the ministers were indignant as if they had been ruthlessly dumped by the Chunyang Palace, and there were even scholars from the Tai Academy who signed the Book of All People and knelt outside the palace gate to worship the Son of Heaven.

Everything was laid out in just one night, and I have to say that these people are really powerful.

One minister after another spoke indignantly.

"Chunyang Palace's industry in Chang'an City never pays taxes!

"That old grandson was just wandering in the streets, and his leg was broken by those hateful Taoists!

"What's more, many people have seen those Taoists kill people in the streets, which is really hateful. ”

"Heaven and earth are upright and the people want to do it, and we can't let it be lawless. ”

“............”

Except for the faint opposition of the court, it was almost one-sided, and those ministers who did not choose sides to remain neutral found that things had gone off course, and the struggle between the princes had affected the foundation of the rule.

Several ministers who noticed that something was wrong looked at each other, and then stepped forward to speak in silence.

"Ahem...... I have been suffering from a chill in recent days, and I beg the Auxiliary Minister for permission to return home to recuperate. ”

The sudden appearance of a leave of absence made many ministers stunned, and then they looked at the colleague thoughtfully, and some of them began to think about how to get out of this whirlpool.

"Your Highnesses, Your Excellencies, my uncle is still expected to return to my hometown to keep my filial piety after the death of my uncle. ”

Another minister took a leave of absence.

The reason for taking leave is very strange, if the parents die and return to their hometowns to keep filial piety, it is reasonable to say that what uncle will go back to keep filial piety when he dies, so that there are many people in the family who do not need to go to court every day to keep filial piety at home, and everyone who knows it has not been punctured, everything is in plain sight.

So, in the next few days, the people of Chang'an City saw the convoys of many large families leaving.

Soon, the official document was issued.

An official document from the imperial court signed by the auxiliary ministers was sent to the Chunyang station, and the people of Chunyang were given ten days to move out of the residence and return the land to the imperial court.

The chief elder of Chang'an did not say much, and sent a letter to Huashan after receiving the official document.

The next day.

The people of Chunyang Palace packed up their things and left Chang'an City according to the order of the master, and there were many gate valve families who left with the Chunyang convoy, dozens of carriages and hundreds of guards went out of the city, some people said that those who left were stupid, and some people went home without saying a word to let the family go back to their hometown.

Chang'an City, which was originally full of flowers, suddenly became much more deserted.

The princes who proposed to let the Pure Yang Palace leave suddenly found that things seemed to be a little out of control......

Daming Palace.

The tired prince knelt in front of the Tang Emperor's bed.

"The sons are useless, the Pure Yang Immortal Elders left Chang'an today. ”

The Emperor's bedroom became quiet, and the crown prince could even clearly hear his father's breathing that seemed to be choked by phlegm, and the pungent smell of medicine in the room made him want to sneeze.

After a long time, a weak voice came from the hospital bed.

"Since the establishment of Li Tang, the Pure Yang Palace has been the Protector of the Country, subduing demons and eliminating demons to protect me, Li Tang is prosperous. ”

"Ahem......"

"Every year, my royal family just gives him rice and grain to live, and it doesn't cost a lot of money, cough cough...... The world is my Li Tang world, but Confucianism is chaotic with the law, chivalry is forbidden with martial arts, and the people in the cultivation of immortals are even more self-regarded as very high and do not obey the constraints of the etiquette law, disturbing the worldly scourge of the common people, fortunately, there is a strong suppression of the pure Yang Palace and the world is bright and clear, and the three chapters of the law strictly prohibit the monks from disturbing the people, which is to the country and the people. ”

After saying this, the emperor felt very tired, and continued to speak after a short rest.

"The courtiers have enjoyed peace for a long time, and they have long forgotten the ancestral teachings, and those rebels colluded with the demon gate to think that no one knew, how do they know that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the demon gate has a strange temperament, and pursues a carefree and unrestrained manner, how can they make every effort to stabilize the world and lure the wolf into the house. ”

"Ahem......"

The emperor, who had spoken too much and coughed, felt a pain in his heart and lungs, and waved his hand to stop the prince who wanted to come forward.

"In the future, Chang'an will be chaotic, if you can't stabilize the situation, then take the young princes and princesses in the palace to Huashan, I have already sent a letter to Li Xiangyan, the head of Chunyang, to arrange a retreat for you, and ...... in the future Just be incognito and be a rich man. ”

"Father's ......"

The prince is in a hurry, he is really reluctant to the supreme position.

"Let's go down...... I'm tired......"

"Yes......"

The prince saluted and was unwilling to leave the emperor's bedroom.

The weather is getting cooler, the expensive yellow robe on the body doesn't seem to bring warmth, the cold wind blows on the face and cools the heart, the women of the harem gather at the door of the dormitory and shout noisily, the palace maids and eunuchs always stare at the gate of the dormitory as if to see if the old emperor is still alive inside, and the Daming Palace is becoming more and more chaotic.

............

The seventh day of the winter month.

It was cold and snowy, and the seriously ill Tang Emperor couldn't stand the sudden drop in temperature.

The palace hangs white curtains, everyone wears plain clothes, the bell tower and the temple bell ring endlessly, the martial law order spreads all over Chang'an City, no wine banquet is allowed to be held, drinking is not allowed to get married, the Qinglou Le Fang and Goolan are out of business, the city guards are under martial law in the whole city and are not allowed to go out at will, and a group of people hide in their homes and look at the streets from the cracks in the windows and doors.

The emperor's death brought chaos and disorder, the helpless women after the emperor's death cried heartbreakingly, and there were also a few concubines with strong backgrounds who were not happy or worried, and they who were trapped in this deep palace all the year round and were haggard and haggard may no longer have illusions about the so-called emotions.

The crown prince was weak and could not convince the public, and the prince and the ministers of the court and the central government gathered to denounce the prince's lack of virtue, and the imperial forest army and the city guard army were divided into several parties and did not communicate with each other, and the situation was grim.

The body of the old emperor was still parked in the main hall, and no one was guarding it except for a few old eunuchs.

I don't know who was the first to draw the sword and cut people, in short, the chaos began suddenly, the princes' guards and ministers took the lead, followed by the guards and the royal guards who were loyal to all parties.

The emperor is still alive and can still suppress the family of the gate lords, and after he dies, he will become a hard corpse.

There was bloodshed in the palace, which soon spread outside the Daming Palace......

The bell rang 30,000 times, the city wall and the temple bell kept ringing, at this time when the death knell was full of many supporters of the prince teamed up to attack the prince's mansion and even entered the Daming Palace, the slogan is that the prince has a violent personality and is immoral, if the prince takes the young prince and princess away according to the old emperor's instructions, he can still survive, but unfortunately, no one will be willing to give up that position.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the new year.

The crown prince and more than 200 of his guards were beheaded by the rebels outside the Daming Palace.

When the target of the alliance, the crown prince, died, many princes and their affiliated forces turned against each other, and a larger scale of chaos swept Chang'an, and it was raging by internal war without falling under the sword of foreign enemies for thousands of years.

Soon, the chaos spread to several prefectures and counties around Chang'an, and by this time the princes had woken up and everything was out of control......
