Invincible son

Chapter 1091 1092 [Taixi Ends the Long Night]

In the seventh year of Kaiping, the third day of June.

The almanac says, go when it rains heavily.

After nightfall, the palace was brightly lit and the atmosphere was gloomy. Li Zi, the commander of the imperial army who had not yet recovered from his injuries, personally led the army to patrol around.

In the outer hall of the Xingqing Hall, a group of ministers sat in two rows, including Mo Haoli in power on the left, Luo Ting in power on the right, Gu Liang in the right army, Xiao Jin, the commander of the garrison division, Han Gongduan and Pei Yue, who were in power in the East Mansion, and six assistants. Ministers of government, as well as Huang Rentai, the imperial historian, six ministers, Jian Rong, the supervisor of Charcoal Temple, Su Wu, Marquis of Nan'an, and Chen Huan, Marquis of Puding.

The people from Daliang Huang Huang gathered together, and everyone's expressions were heavy and solemn.

The capital has been cleared, and all the rebels who resisted in the corner have been executed, and all the rebels who tried to hide and evade punishment have also been found out.Soldiers in the West Camp and South Camp outside the city were screened separately. Civil and military officials who participated in the rebellion were all ransacked and exterminated. Ordinary soldiers were punished to varying degrees according to the rules drawn up by Pei Yue.

People's heads rolled and blood flowed all over the ground, but no one in the court interceded for it, because this was well-documented regicide and treason.

Even the current situation has exceeded many people's expectations, because Emperor Kaiping did not go crazy before his death. Although he killed many people, he actually restrained a lot. This was naturally persuaded by Pei Yue and Mo Haoli result.

As for the outcome of the two masterminds, Wang Pingzhang had already been killed by Pei Yue.After Liu Zhi, the sixth prince, verified his integrity, Emperor Kaiping bestowed a three-foot white silk and ordered Xiao Jin and Chen Ancheng to monitor him, and Liu Zhi hanged himself in the palace.

Now there are forbidden troops and garrison divisions inside the city, and outside the city there are the Beiying Army of the Beijing Army, the Longbow Army, and the elite cavalry of the Southern Army led by Chen Huan, and the imperial court issued an imperial decree to announce the rebellion of Wang Pingzhang and the sixth prince Liu Zhi. The detailed description greatly eliminated the shock and panic caused by this rebellion.

I'm afraid Wang Pingzhang never imagined that the rebellion he had planned for a long time was like summer rain, it came and went faster, it just caused ripples in the world, and then disappeared without a trace.

Of course, part of the impact of this rebellion will not be visible in a short period of time, and it may take time to gradually reveal its ferocious minions.

For these important ministers in the palace, each of them has worked hard during this period, but fortunately, Kyoto has returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.It's just that they were not in the mood to rejoice, especially when they received a summons from the palace this afternoon, and all the important officials were summoned to Xingqing Palace, the sadness and pain spread uncontrollably.

From noon until late at night, they waited in the outer hall. Mo Haoli and the five auxiliary ministers except Pei Yue entered one after another. Everyone met Emperor Kaiping for about a stick of incense.

However, Emperor Kaiping never summoned Pei Yue, which made the other ministers quite strange, but they did not superficially think that Pei Yue was treated coldly, but vaguely realized that His Majesty the Emperor would most likely keep him as the last one.

Faced with the gazes from time to time around him, Pei Yue didn't seem to notice, he just stared in the direction leading to the sleeping hall in a daze.

……

In the sleeping hall, there is aloes curling up.

Concubine Wu Gui lay down beside the dragon bed, holding Emperor Kaiping's withered and thin wrist with both hands, trying her best not to cry out, but her eyes were already red and swollen from crying.

Prince Liu Xian stood aside, looking at the middle-aged man lying on the dragon bed with sunken eyes and pale face, he had to use all his strength to suppress the grief in his chest so as not to lose his composure.

From the day he could remember, his father was a majestic figure standing proudly between the heaven and the earth, and all the civil and military men in the court were in awe.

Even in those years when he was young and inactive, he also knew that Daliang became stronger day by day under the rule of his father, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the government gradually became clearer, and the national strength and military equipment were flourishing.From the situation of the three kingdoms at the end of the Zhongzong Dynasty, to the beginning of the fourth year of Kaiping, Daliang continued to hit the Western Wu and Southern Zhou on the border, which is enough to prove the achievements of this extremely weak king on the dragon bed at this moment.

Even Pei Yue, who has made illustrious military exploits, admitted that he was able to accomplish such a feat in the year of weak crown, which could not be separated from the logistical support of the court and the bravery of the frontier army.

Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, wars will always be about national strength.

17 years is not long or short, if not for Emperor Kaiping's hard work day and night, it would be impossible for Daliang Duan to have such a strong national power.

Such a king with both imperial mind and political means, after being seriously injured, used the imperial physician's secret method of golden needles to forcefully maintain his energy, and survived seven days with incomparable tenacity. After repeatedly smoothing the situation in the court and the army, he finally walked To the end of life.

"Father..." Liu Xian almost couldn't help it when he opened his mouth, his tone trembling with tears.

Emperor Kaiping was already very weak, and he had never been so weak in his life.

He looked at Liu Xian who was tall and slightly hunched, smiled silently with difficulty, and then said: "Stand up straight, don't cry."

"Yes, father." Liu Xian quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then stood up straight.

Emperor Kaiping coughed twice in pain, and said slowly: "Mo Haoli's health is not very good, and he has been working very hard for the past two years. I told him, at least wait until you change the yuan, and the court will be stable again. Begging for bones. After he passes away, you must do your best to make him worthy to enjoy the Taimiao."

Liu Xian bowed his head and said: "Your servant will keep it in mind."

Emperor Kaiping said again: "There is no need to wait until that time for the adjustment of the East Mansion. Shouxiao...ahem...after 27 days of filial piety, you will promote Luo Jiyu to be in charge of the left and Han Gongduan to be in charge of the right. A virtuous minister who has been observing is enough to help you protect the king. Remember, these two only need to treat each other with sincerity, and they can keep the court stable for you."

"Yes, Royal Father, I dare not or forget." Liu Xian tremblingly said.

Emperor Kaiping rested for a while, and said slowly: "Gu Liang will not follow in the footsteps of Wang Pingzhang, but you have to keep your eyes open and stare at him. After two years, after Pei Yue enters the West Mansion, Gu Liang can retire and return home. If you I don't know what to do, so I will ask your mother for instructions. At that time, Xiao Jin will be in charge of the left military aircraft, and Pei Yue will be the right military aircraft."

"Yes, Father."

"With these four people here, as long as you stay true to your heart, work diligently and love the people, you will be able to fulfill my long-cherished wish in the future. However, after you secure the throne, you must learn to promote some young talents like Wu Cunren. Only those who are loyal to you With more and more people, the power of the Tian family will become more and more stable. There is no need to doubt Chen An's loyalty, and he can be promoted to be the commander of Luan Yiwei. On the side of the Taishitai Pavilion, Jing Chu, the head of the Kun Department, can be the right commander, As for the position of Zuo Lingchen, let’s pretend it for now. When you really have a capable confidant, as long as you have half the talent of Mo Moyun, you can hand over the pavilion to him.”

Speaking of the word Mo Moyun, Emperor Kaiping couldn't help showing a bit of sadness in his eyes.

He tried his best to suppress that emotion in his heart, looked at Liu Xian and said, "Xian'er."

Liu Xian was stunned, and then tears surged like a flood that broke the dam. He knelt on the ground and cried, "Father, I don't want to be an emperor. I hope you live healthy and healthy. I am willing to live forever." To be the prince, father..."

Concubine Wu Gui is also mourning.

Emperor Kaiping sighed softly: "Silly boy, if you really have to wait until that day, you will surely become murderous towards me like Liu Zan and Liu Zhi."

Liu Xian shook his head desperately, already weeping uncontrollably.

Emperor Kaiping vigorously raised his hand and waved it, and continued: "I have been struggling for 17 years. In fact, this is a last resort. Your mother knows the reason very well. You can let her tell you in your spare time. But you It's different, you don't need to work as hard as I do, you just need to remember one sentence firmly."

Liu Xian wiped his tears and said, "Please show me, Father."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Forbidden is better than the body, then the order will be followed by the people. If the order comes from above, then the world will have the way."

Liu Xian nodded vigorously and said, "My father's teachings, I will always remember them in my heart."

Emperor Kaiping breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at the nobleman in palace costume beside the couch, with extremely rare tenderness and guilt in his eyes.
