The next day, Xue Chongxun entered the palace early in the morning. After Brother Fen passed away, he had to choose a new king. The power structure changed slightly, and Xue Chongxun had to participate in the inquiries.
He did not enter through Danfeng Gate, but instead detoured through Xuanwu Gate to meet General Zuo Yulin Chang Yuankai.
Chang Yuankai asked how to deal with the captured soldiers of the Sixth Route in the East Palace and whether they would be handed over to the Nanya.
Xue Chongxun refused to hand over and suggested that all the generals above the Eastern Palace Army beheaded and the soldiers were dismissed. At the same time, the eunuchs asked to notify the Queen Gao of the palace of the disposal method and ignore the Political Affairs Hall.
Since the Wu Dynasty, the imperial guards of the Northern Yaya have not been subject to the restrictions of the three provinces and six ministries of the Southern Yaya. They usually have the generals in charge of military power and directly obey the emperor's orders (it was only controlled by eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty).
There are four armies: left and right cavalry, left and right cavalry.
Among them, the ten thousand cavalry supported Li Longji in the palace coup several years ago. Princess Taiping has been distrustful since she came to power and has been weakened one after another for several years. Until Li Longji raised an army in the East Capital for the last time, the ten thousand cavalry had been completely disbanded, which means that the number was revoked.
Most of the generals were placed in the 16 Southern Yamen to serve in empty positions, low-level generals and old and weak soldiers were dismissed, and young and strong people were dispersed and arranged to the garrisons of the capital and various local troops.
Nowadays, only the left and right Yulin (Flying Cavalry) maintain the regular force. The left army general Chang Yuankai and the right army general Li Ci were both former old parties in Taiping. Intermediate generals such as Duwei Chen Dahu and others mostly had personal relationships with Xue Chongxun, Zhang Wulang and others.
After the coup of Prince Li Chenghong, Xue Chongxun successfully mobilized the imperial guards. Although he used an imperial edict to make an imperial edict, it was actually what he proposed...
The current situation is that the Northern Ya Imperial Guards fell into the hands of Xue Chongxun.
After Li Chenghong, it will be even more difficult for new leaders to get rid of prodigal sons. All the military power and regimes are lost, and there is no place to borrow power at all.
Sure enough, when Xue Chongxun tried to deal with the rebel general alone, he suggested to Chang Yuankai to directly clean up Liusu. Chang Yuankai ordered the general of the Eastern Palace to be taken to Beiyuan without saying a word.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was very satisfied and stood on the Xuanwu Gate Tower and watched the execution.
The generals escorted to the scene included the lieutenant, the brigade commander, the team leader, etc., with a total of more than 20 people, all of whom were tied up and kneeled in two rows.
After Chang Yuankai gave the order, the imperial guards under the city shouted to execute the execution. The soldiers rushed forward with long swords and chopped down the criminal generals. Another team of soldiers took a spear and stabbed them forward to ensure that they were all killed.
Seeing this situation, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but sigh: What a dangerous game.
Chang Yuankai, who was standing beside him, probably didn't understand it, and nodded seriously as an agreement.
After seeing the execution, Xue Chongxun said goodbye to Chang Yuankai, got off the Xuanwu Gate and drove to Linde Hall.
Because the emperor died in Linde Hall, the mourning hall was set up there. Some Emperors of the Tang Dynasty died in Luoyang, and the funeral was held in Luoyang Palace.
When he arrived at Linde Hall, he suddenly saw a large number of young men and women wearing mourning clothes in the mourning hall. Xue Chongxun looked at it quietly for a while. At this time, the eunuch Yu Liben saw him and walked over and whispered: The princes and princesses came last night, and they all came this morning.
Xue Chongxun looked at it and estimated that there were fifty or sixty people, thinking that Li Shouli had created so many children, which was indeed spectacular.
Yu Liben said again: The man at the forefront was King Bing (Li Chengning, after Li Shouli ascended the throne, he was promoted from the successor prince to the prince). The ministers discussed supporting him in the nave, waiting for the prince to come over to discuss with each other, and the prince rushed over.
Xue Chongxun glanced at the young man kneeling in front of him as Yu Liben said. He was about the age of twenties and was wearing white clothes and made him look even more delicate and tender. He seemed to be a master who had never experienced the storm.
In the past, Xue Chongxun didn't know Li Chengning at all. If the prince was walking on the street casually, he wouldn't recognize him at all.
Maybe I have seen it on some occasions, but Xue Chongxun never noticed it.
Usually, those princes stay in the princes' mansions in Yuanfang and rarely meet...
Brother Fen has dozens of children, and he probably can't figure it out very well, let alone Xue Chongxun.
After Xue Chongxun paid a tribute to the emperor's coffin, he followed Yu Liben to the nave. Yu Liben and others were probably waiting for him here.
When we arrived at the nave, we saw Empress Gao and more than ten ministers present. Empress Gao was sitting in the upper throne wearing mourning clothes. The ministers were sitting at the lower heads and talking. When they saw Xue Chongxun coming in, they greeted him one after another.
Xue Chongxun first bowed to Empress Gao, then said polite words to the ministers one by one, and sat down on the stool.
During this period, he couldn't help but take a look at Queen Gao's appearance, because she was wearing mourning clothes and was different from usual.
People say that women should be pretty and filial, but they are not bad. Queen Gao not only wore plain clothes, but also could not wear too much makeup during the mourning period. The thick layer of rouge and water powder on her face was finally invisible, but it looked much better without applying those things.
The plump forehead, big eyes, and the egg-shaped face are pure and childish.
Xue Chongxun didn't know about Gao's birth date, and thought she would not be over twenty years old. At this time, she confirmed her guess at first sight, and was probably younger than Cheng Ting.
The teenage girl is about to call the Empress Dowager Ai's family, which is indeed a bit absurd to Xue Chongxun.
She sat upright on her head, with a serious expression, and her sequel expression lacked the vitality that youth should have, but she gave people a lot of persistence.
At this time, I heard the left prime minister Lu Xiang say first: We have just discussed supporting the second prince, King B, in the order of elders and young people. What do King Jin think?
Xue Chongxun said: All the Dukes are important officials of the senior states of several dynasties, so the propositions they put forward will naturally not be bad. I have no objection, but I don’t know which cabinet master knows King Bing, so it’s better to say it.
Everyone looked at each other, and almost no one had any contact with Li Chengning. Everyone knew it: In fact, it was the same for everyone to be the emperor at this time, just a puppet.
Lu Xiang suddenly coughed a few times, and Gao said slowly: "Mr. Lu is the one who is going to be relieved."
Lu Xiang first clasped her fists and said: Old minister, Empress Xie... She is old and her body is not strong anymore. It rained yesterday, and she woke up early this morning, and it seemed that she was getting some cold.
Gao said: I'll ask Dr. Zhou from the Imperial Medical Department to take the pulse for Mr. Lu.
Lu Xiang hurriedly said: It’s not hard, it’s not hard, it’s not serious, but because of the old man’s old age, the old minister can’t even read the words clearly...
The two of them said slowly for a while, and the others seemed a little dull.
Xue Chongxun also heard the taste, and Zuo Xiang might have already retired.
The prince's coup attempt was to capture all those in power in one go, which may have a deep touch on Lu Xiangxian; after the coup, the imperial power became even darker, and the hope of restoring the imperial power was not visible at the moment. He wanted to protect himself and not be an official in such a regime?
I'm afraid this is the case. Although Lu Xiangxian is also a prime minister of Princess Taiping, his reputation is much better than that of other prime ministers. When he gets older, he will probably cherish his reputation in history books.
However, just as the throne was changed, he was about to resign and obviously too much to harm the face of those in power. He would probably be the left prime minister for a while.
Xue Chongxun was a little reluctant to let Lu Xiangxian down. Although this person did not do much in his daily life, he was invented an idiom: "Mediocre people disturb themselves", but his advantage is that he is good-famous and qualified enough, and he is indifferent and kind, and he will not cause trouble on purpose. It is undoubtedly very beneficial to have him in the court.
If he retreats, who will become the left prime minister?
Xue Chongxun looked back quietly, and no one of the remaining five prime ministers could compare to Lu Xiangxian's prestige.
(Originally, there were six prime ministers except Lu Xiangxian. Yesterday, Cui Shi, the Minister of Revenue, was killed by rioters, and only five were left: Zhang Shuo, Cheng Qianli, Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong, and Li Shouyi.)
At this time, Lu Xiang first suggested: Why don’t you invite King B in and talk? You can also see his attitude?
Everyone thought it was kind, and Empress Gao agreed, so she ordered an eunuch around her to go to the mourning hall to invite King Bing Li Chengning.She thought about it and asked someone to call King Bing's biological mother, Concubine Zhao Shu, into the room.
After waiting for a while, Li Chengning came in, and then Zhao Shufei came too.
Although Zhao Shufei was over middle-aged, she still had charm. Look at her walking posture and finger movements, she looked a bit like a singing girl...
Maybe it was originally Li Shouli's toy, but she gave birth to a boy, and finally there was hope.
Li Chengning also looks like a mother, with a delicate skin and tender flesh, a thin body and a frivolous step, and a very fake girl.
After he walked in, he bowed to Queen Gao in a regular manner, because Queen Gao was his elder and would be decent.
Seeing this, some of the ministers nodded slightly, at least they still looked a little bit, right?
Everyone heard that some of the princes and princesses in the princes’ houses couldn’t even understand the basic etiquette. They always laughed and joking and had fun, and did everything they did with close relatives and servants.
Empress Gao asked them to sit down and talk, and then said: The former prince’s crime of rebellion is so great that he is no longer suitable to inherit the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. The ministers in the court said that King Bin is usually humble and decent and talented, and wanted to persuade King Bin to inherit the foundation of the Daxing Emperor...
Before he could speak, Li Chengning's face turned pale and he hurriedly shook his head: I'm pretty good at the princes' mansion, without any jails or jail matters.Now that my father goes first, my mother does not need to stay in the Daming Palace to serve my father. If the Empress En allows her mother to leave the palace to live, she asks me to serve her mother in front of the bed to fulfill her filial piety, so I thank you very much.Even if the country is in great affairs, my ministers do not have the talent to govern the country. I hope that the queen and the ministers will choose the wise among the brothers to inherit... The third brother (Chengcai) is very suitable, and the book is much better than me.
Suddenly a minister whispered: I heard that I don’t even know much about the third prince. Is King Bing worse than him?
Li Chengning hurriedly said: I only like poetry, songs, and I can’t understand any classics and can’t finish reading the Doctrine of the Mean in the University.
Dou Huaizhen advised with kind words: King Bing doesn’t need to worry, how much difference can the Daming Palace and the Prince’s Mansion?If you think the worldly affairs are troublesome, you can let the queen rule the affairs behind the curtain and do not have to do anything.
Hearing the advice of governing the country from behind the curtain, Lu Xiang immediately reminded: As an important official of the country, Xianggong Dou must be cautious in his words!
He did not enter through Danfeng Gate, but instead detoured through Xuanwu Gate to meet General Zuo Yulin Chang Yuankai.
Chang Yuankai asked how to deal with the captured soldiers of the Sixth Route in the East Palace and whether they would be handed over to the Nanya.
Xue Chongxun refused to hand over and suggested that all the generals above the Eastern Palace Army beheaded and the soldiers were dismissed. At the same time, the eunuchs asked to notify the Queen Gao of the palace of the disposal method and ignore the Political Affairs Hall.
