Liaozhai Great Sage

"Third prince, don't you persuade this Lord Yang? Well, let's take this by the way. This is his son's crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country in the capital. If he doesn't write it, write it in the history books, and let his Yang family be infamous forever." .” Li Xiuyuan took a piece of paper, and then motioned to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch was trembling, lowered his head and didn't dare to resist, he hurriedly accepted the crime and handed it to the third prince Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, he was afraid that Li Xiuyuan would suddenly change his mind at this point and would replace him, violating his previous promise.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Li."

Zhao Jingjing nodded, accepted the guilt, and then walked over to persuade: "Master Yang, if this prince wants to become emperor, he must be justified in his name. Only you can write the edict of abdication to convince the people of the world, because Zhongshu Sheng usually gives it to his father. The emperor drafted the decree, nine times out of ten the world's imperial decree came from your pen, if Mr. Yang insisted, your son's crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country must be announced to the world. Just as Mr. Li said before, he will surely It will last forever."

"What, what, you, you want to be the emperor?" Lord Yang trembled all over at the moment, looking at Zhao Jing in shock.

He always thought that Li Xiuyuan was going to change the dynasty and usurp the throne, but he didn't expect that he wanted to support the third prince.

Then this is not considered a rebellion, it can only be regarded as a palace change.

"Can't I be the prince? Is it possible to invite my eldest brother who is the prince to come out to be the emperor?" Zhao Jing snorted and said: "Master Li has already accepted Ruo, as long as he enters the imperial city, he will support me as the emperor."

"Okay, the old man writes, bring a pen and paper." Master Yang agreed without hesitation.

Since he didn't change the dynasty, it would be a fart for him to die loyally for the country, and if he died in the palace change, he would die in vain.

"Very good, Mr. Yang is very knowledgeable about current affairs." Li Xiuyuan said indifferently, and then looked at Zhao Guan's house: "I have been sitting in this seat for so long, does the Supreme Emperor not want to move his butt?"

After finishing speaking, he tapped the official Zhao's leg on the dragon chair with his scabbard.

"You, you don't kill me..." Zhao Guanjia was still in shock.

"Whether to kill you or not depends on what I mean, it depends on what the third prince wants." Li Xiuyuan said, "What do you think, third prince?"

Zhao Jing immediately said: "Father, if the son-in-law ascends the throne, he will take care of the father and never let the father suffer any harm or grievances. I also ask the father to help the son."

"well."

At this moment, Zhao Guanjia didn't know whether he was afraid or angry and said, "You are promising, you are promising, you are much better than being the father, since you can get to this point, then the father has nothing to say."

After finishing speaking, he stood up slowly from the dragon chair supported by the eunuch.

The third prince was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Send Emperor Father to Wende Hall to rest, no one should approach without my prince's order."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Bao took the order and led a team of imperial guards to escort the official Zhao's family away.

Obviously this is to put Zhao Guan's family under house arrest.

Chapter 781 The New Emperor

Zhao Guan's family was put under house arrest, and Li Xiuyuan didn't know what happened to him. Since he didn't choose to change the dynasty, he naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing as killing the king.

And when the general situation is settled, I believe that the third prince Zhao Jing will make reasonable arrangements for his father.

Soon, Master Yang's imperial decree was also written. He was very knowledgeable about current affairs and drafted four imperial decrees directly. The last one is to appease the people in the capital, telling the people in the capital that the previous battle was not a rebellion, but a treacherous minister in the palace, and it was the emperor who ordered Li Xiuyuan to enter the palace to serve the king.

"Lord Li, this imperial decree to appease the people should be issued immediately to appease the people in the capital, lest someone take the opportunity to cause chaos, and also to prevent the other princes from rebelling under the pretext of rebellion." Li Xiuyuan cupped his hands.

"Once the imperial decree is sent out, this edict of guilt should be issued afterward. If everything is normal, the second abdication edict and succession edict will be issued soon."

"As long as the new emperor succeeds to the throne and appeases the general soldiers and border troops in various places, and Mr. Li leads the troops outside to frighten Xiaoxiao, the overall situation will be settled and the country will be stable."

Li Xiuyuan watched him hand over four imperial decrees at once, and he knew that Mr. Yang had accepted the fact of the palace change and was willing to assist the third prince Zhao Jing to ascend the throne.

Of course, Mr. Yang is very clear in his heart that he and Li Xiuyuan have grievances and grievances. If he would rather die than obey at this moment, when the new emperor ascends the throne and settle accounts after the fall, he will just end up copying his family and exterminating his family. Preserve your reputation, protect your family.

"Very well, Mr. Yang, what you did today is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Talking to a smart person like you is a peace of mind. Where is the jade seal? Third prince, you take the jade seal, seal it and send it out. I will abdicate and enthron. If you are not interested in taking care of it, you can handle it yourself, I will stay in the capital for ten days, and after ten days I will go south and return to Yangzhou to take up a post."

Li Xiuyuan turned around, stood on top of the golden hall and glanced down at the third prince Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing was a little surprised and said: "Master Li will leave in ten days, so who will defend the capital? If the generals from all walks of life refuse to accept my enthronement and proclaim the emperor, what should they do if they rebel against me?"

He was originally an idle prince in the capital, with no power or support.

After he ascended the throne suddenly, he found that there was no one to use, no one to rely on. Hearing that Li Xiuyuan was going to leave at this moment, he didn't even have half the confidence.

"Before entering the imperial city, I ordered Han Shizhong, the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou, to go north to Beijing, and 80 infantry pretended to move. Calculating the time, his cavalry is estimated to be able to reach the boundary of the capital in ten days. At that time, I will let him Han Shizhong was stationed in the Imperial Army camp to replace the [-] imperial troops and defend the capital for you. If the generals from all walks of life want to rebel, they have to weigh their own abilities." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

"Everything is under Master Li's control, so I can rest assured." Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

With [-] cavalry, he believed that his dragon chair could sit firmly.

"Stop standing there, come up." Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan beckoned.

Zhao Jing walked up to the Golden Palace with a little excitement, crossed the steps, and came to the dragon chair.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "According to the agreement, you help me break into the imperial city, and I help you become emperor. Now this agreement is fulfilled, Zhao Jing, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Lord Li, for your help. I am very grateful." Zhao Jing said excitedly.

"Very well, then the Great Song Kingdom will be handed over to you. Although the world is in dire straits and the people are in dire straits, it may not be better if you change an emperor, but I still hope that you can govern the world with your heart. Of course, if It doesn't matter if you are the same as your father in the future, if you don't manage the world well, someone will replace you to manage the world, today it is you, maybe next time it will be someone else."

"I will keep it in mind." Zhao Jing said very humbly.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "The words are a bit outrageous. From now on, I may be the only one who will say these words to you. After today, you will not hear such harsh words, because you will be the emperor after today. Don't worry that I will rebel, and the generals under my command will not rebel, of course, if you become emperor for a long time, you will feel that I am a threat and want to get rid of me."

"Then, I will come back to this palace again, and then the world will not believe in Zhao."

Zhao Jing's heart trembled when he heard this, and he felt inexplicable fear when he saw Li Xiuyuan's cold and majestic eyes.

He knew that Li Xiuyuan would not rebel, but he had the ability to rebel, it was too easy to take over the world with this person's ability, no emperor would tolerate the existence of such a person in the world.

But... Zhao Jing didn't dare to conceive the idea of ​​a dead dog cooking.

At least not when Li Xiuyuan was still alive.

"In addition, according to the previous agreement, if you become the emperor, the land of Yangzhou should be handed over to me to govern. You don't have to give me the title of marquis or minister, and I will be the governor. The annual tax will not Give less to the imperial court, but the third prince should not worry about the governance of Yangzhou."

Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

He took the land of Yangzhou, not only to give himself a guarantee, but also to leave a way out.

He won't be so stupid that after the palace change, he has support, but he cuts off his arm from the dragon's work, doesn't seek fame and fortune, and thinks of retiring after success, if that is the case, he will definitely be killed by this Zhao Jing in the future.

The struggle for power is always bloody.

So he took Yangzhou to use this place as the foundation, to frighten Zhao Jing, and let him know that today he can enter the capital from Yangzhou for the first time, and he can also enter the capital for the second time. After all, Yangzhou has soldiers, money, and food. If you really want to rebel, Yangzhou, a single state, has this background, especially in this situation of declining national power.

"Lord Li, please rest assured that Yangzhou will always belong to Master Li." Zhao Jing said solemnly, already approving this result in his heart.

It doesn't matter if you don't agree, even if Li Xiuyuan wants to take another state, he can only nod.

It is not a loss to exchange the land of one state for the whole world.
