Chapter 75 Faint Lord 1
In the Chuigong Hall, the old emperor Li Wei sat at the top, and the prime minister, the Chanzhi Zhengshi, the Privy Council, and the top officials of the three divisions sat at the bottom.Li Zhen saw the battle when he walked to the door, paused, and then saluted: "Father, the chief minister, the privy envoy, and the third envoy."

The ministers present quickly got up and saluted Li Zhen.After the two parties saw the ceremony, Li Wei immediately said: "Your Majesty, Father has recently felt unwell and lacks energy, and is planning to pass on the throne to you. You must take care of your ancestors' foundation in the future!"

Li Zhen knew that he was taking advantage of the information asymmetry to shirk the blame, but it was not so easy to take the blame.

Li Zhen immediately knelt down and said, "Father, my son has little talent and learning, how can I take on this important task? Please take back your order, and my son can supervise the country on your behalf, and return to you after you recover."

Li Wei was a little moved. If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, it would be a great relief to meet such a son who is not greedy for power.But now, Li Wei wished that his son was greedy for power, and immediately took over this mess.

As for whether it is good or bad after taking it, it is none of my business. If it is good, I am still the Supreme Emperor. If it is not good, Li Zhen will be responsible first.

After being moved by his filial son, Li Wei wiped away the tears that didn't exist in the corners of his eyes, and said to Li Zhen: "You don't have to do this, my son, I have made up my mind, and the country and society will be handed over to you in the future. I hope you can take care of yourself."

Li Zhen declined again, and the prime minister knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, please ascend the throne."

Once the prime minister knelt down, several other ministers could only kneel down to invite the prince to ascend the throne. Otherwise, would they wait for the new emperor to take over and deal with themselves?

The prime minister is Li Wei's confidant, abdication is something he discussed two mornings, Li Zhen knows this well, anyway, he will be replaced sooner or later.

With the common hope of everyone, the crown prince has ascended the throne. Although it is just a simple yellow robe at present, he is already a legitimate new emperor.

Sitting on the throne, Li Zhen shouted "Long live" three times from below, his voice was very loud, and there were few who were truly loyal to him.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

The officials got up, and the little eunuch shouted: "If there is something to do, let's play, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court."

Prime Minister Tang Jing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

"Quasi-playing." Li Zhen said.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from the spies, the barbarians have conquered 10 cities in a row and are now heading for the capital. We need to make preparations early."

Li Zhen thought it was funny, but at this time, he knew that he had already made preparations.Li Zhen asked: "What suggestions do you love ladies have?"

The privy envoy said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you send someone to ask the barbarians for peace, and then reward them with some gold, silver and jewels, and they will naturally retreat."

A row of officials followed behind, "Second minister."

Li Zhen took a look, good fellow, half of the ministers in the palace seconded the proposal.Also, the Privy Councilor, who is the highest military officer, has to negotiate a peace. Who else dares to fight?

Li Zhen was thinking about it, and Li Qi, who was in charge of political affairs, said: "Your Majesty, I don't think we should negotiate a peace. The barbarians are going to attack the capital, and they definitely didn't come here to negotiate a peace."

A censor said: "Your Majesty, if you want to impeach the governor, you will be in vain for the people. There are millions of people in the capital. If there is no peace, if the barbarians come in, blood will flow like a river. Li Qi is using the lives of the people in the capital to accomplish this." his own reputation."

"emperor."

"emperor."

One by one, those who impeached the political counselor were impeached. People who didn't know thought he had done something outrageous, but in fact he just said that he didn't agree with the peace.

The impeached Shenzhizhengshi did not panic, as if the person impeached was not him, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.Li Qi raised his head and glanced at Li Zhen, then fell silent, and did not change his non-discussion words.

After watching for a long time, Li Zhen also understood that the people below didn't care about discussing peace or not. They just wanted to take the opportunity to attack their opponents.

The privy secretary made himself a separate faction, the third secretary had a vague attitude, and the Yushitai was a shit-stirring stick, and everyone hated it.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and each faction has their own ideas. As for the state of the court and the state of the people, it doesn't matter at all. They are used as excuses when they are needed, and they are discarded when they are not needed.

Seeing that the noise below was getting more and more outrageous, Li Zhen gestured to the little eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch immediately shouted: "Quiet, don't make any noise in front of the emperor."

The people below calmed down, and they cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."

Li Zhendao: "Write a note on the matter of the barbarians, see how to deal with it, and discuss it later. Is there anything else that needs to be reported?"

The Minister of Rites said: "Your Majesty, you are newly enthroned, and you need to amnesty the world. The enthronement ceremony"

Li Zhen interrupted: "As usual, you write a memorial to me for the rest."

"Yes." The Minister of Rites withdrew.

The little eunuch shouted: "Retire."

Li Zhen left first, and the courtiers also left in twos and threes.

Li Zhen was in the Qinzheng Hall, thinking about the people he could use. Those in the court were not important. The most important thing was the need for military power. If he had an army, he would be able to act arbitrarily.

"My lord, this is the memorial." The eunuch moved a tall stack of memorials into the Hall of Qinzheng.

Li Zhen glanced at the eunuch, he was still a young man who grew up serving Li Zhen, his name was Wang Zhong.

Li Zhen said: "Wang Zhong, go find a few reliable eunuchs who can read and write to read the memorial together. Those who can be approved will be approved, and those who can't be approved will come to me."

Wang Zhong knelt down immediately, trembling with fright, "The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life."

Since the founding of the country, the imperial court has placed great constraints on eunuchs, and is especially wary of eunuchs interfering in politics. Now that they are asked to approve memorials, isn't this the old birthday star who hanged himself and is courting death?
Wang Zhong thought that the emperor had annoyed him, so he begged for mercy.

Li Zhen said: "Okay, it's a special matter, you just cover it up and don't spread it. Hurry up!"

Seeing that the emperor really seemed to want him to read the memorial, Wang Zhong had no choice but to do so.However, few of his subordinates could read, let alone read the memorial. Wang Zhong thought about it and brought in another eunuch, Li Fu.

Although the two have always been at odds, I believe that he will never leak this matter, otherwise everyone will die together.

After searching under the two eunuchs, they managed to find three who could read. As for those who could understand the memorial, only Wang Zhong and Li Fu were there.Wang Zhong was influenced by the crown prince, and Li Fu was the godson of the empress dowager's confidant eunuch during the Shenzong period, so he also learned a lot from him.

The two began to work together to read the memorial, and all the people serving in the Palace of Qinzheng were their cronies.

Li Zhen thought about it, the privy envoy is not reliable, and the only army he can rely on is the imperial army, but the imperial army has been under the privy envoy for many years, and now he is not sure who he listens to, and there are threats from barbarians outside, it is simply internal and external troubles.

Li Zhen now understands why the original body chose to surrender. He has nothing to do if he doesn't surrender. He has no power or troops in his hands, so why bother?Active surrender is better than passive surrender when barbarians come in.

In fact, there is no good way to get to Li Zhen, he can only walk through the Forbidden Army by himself to see if anyone is willing to serve him.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen didn't care about the eunuch who was approving the memorial, and led his people to the imperial army.There are nearly 10 imperial troops stationed in the capital, divided into Dianqian Division, Infantry Division, and Horse Army Division. Among them, the Dianqian Division is the most accessible to Li Zhen.

There are 1 people in the Dianqian Division, dedicated to protecting the emperor.
