Liaozhai Great Sage

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 even to appease the people in the capital, telling the people in the capital that the previous battle was not a big deal.

It was someone who rebelled, but a traitor came out of 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. I'm not interested in taking care of it, you can handle it yourself, I will stay in the capital for ten days, ten days
After that, I went south and returned to Yangzhou to work. "

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 entered the Forbidden Army camp to replace the [-] Forbidden Army 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 Mr. Li's control, so I can rest assured." Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

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, it's only natural that you can't manage the world well

Someone will replace you to manage the world. Today 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, the generals under my command will not rebel

, Of course, if you have been the 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 ​​cooking a rabbit to death.

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, the land of Yangzhou has this background, especially when the national power is declining.

under the circumstances.

"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.

"Write me an imperial decree, and I'll take it back to Yangzhou later." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhao Jing immediately said: "I will write an imperial decree in my own handwriting to ensure that Lord Li is satisfied."

Master Yang looked at Zhao Jingfu's writing at the desk, and then at Li Xiuyuan, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

From today onwards, there will be more Yangzhou kings in the world.

Although he was not a Marquis, after Li Xiuyuan returned to Yangzhou, there was no difference between him and a prince. It was just that the court had a better face and was called Li Inspector.

Soon, Zhao Jing wrote down the first imperial decree before he ascended the throne, stamped it with a jade seal, and handed it to Li Xiuyuan.

After Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, he immediately ordered the eunuch: "Have someone frame it and send it back."

"Yes, yes, Master Li." The eunuch tremblingly took it and trotted away immediately.

"Master Li, what should we do next?" Zhao Jing said cautiously.

"You should ask yourself what to do next, not me." Li Xiuyuan supported his shoulder and pressed it hard.

Zhao Jing staggered and sat on the dragon chair.

"Because you are the emperor now, I will send you a picture of a real dragon to help you suppress the fate of the country." Li Xiuyuan flicked his cloak after speaking.

"Ow~!"

A dragon chant suddenly sounded, echoing in the main hall, but a phantom of a real dragon soared out of his golden-red cloak, and the dragon shadow wandered around in the Zichen hall, soaring, making the sound of dragon chant , Finally, the dragon chant landed on the golden pillars of the Golden Palace.

But on the golden pillar, there was a red dragon relief coiled on the pillar, which was lifelike, like a living thing.

"This, this is." Zhao Jing's face was full of shock when he saw this miraculous scene, but then he was pleasantly surprised.

Didn't such visions prove that he is the real dragon emperor?

"Old minister bows down to His Majesty." Upon seeing this, Master Yang immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly. Obviously, the grass on the wall was done very well.

"I bow down to Your Majesty."

Seeing this, the civil and military officials in the Zichen Palace were also shocked, and hurriedly knelt down.

Seeing this, Zhao Jing was excited and excited. He wanted to imitate his father and call him flat, exempt from courtesy, but because Li Xiuyuan didn't dare to do it again, he couldn't shout, and he couldn't sit still for a while and didn't know what to do. good.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan ignored the kneeling of these people, he had already turned and left, and walked towards the outside of Zichen Hall, taking big steps all the way, calm and powerful.

Suddenly, he opened his arms, as if embracing the sky and the earth outside, and then said: "Emperor, you do it, and I will level this world."

The sound was loud and echoed in the hall, deafening.

What he said about pacifying the world was not the pacification of the Zhao family, but the entire world of heaven, earth, and the underworld.

Do not seek peace for a hundred years, but peace and prosperity for all generations.

Li Xiuyuan's ideas are far superior to a throne, so he never had the idea of ​​rebellion and proclaiming himself emperor, because no matter how powerful a dynasty is, it can only rise and fall within 300 years.

For ghosts and gods, 300 years pass in the blink of an eye.

Maybe you were an emperor 300 years ago, and the Vega is everywhere, but 300 years later, maybe there will be old ghosts peeing on your grave, and some spirits will drag you out of the grave to whip your corpse.

When Zhao Jing saw that Li Xiuyuan did not worship the new emperor, did not ask for gifts, but expressed his great wish, he did not realize that he had any rebellious heart, but felt that this person's virtue and realm had surpassed the constraints of fame and fortune. It is rare in the world. If it was in the Spring and Autumn Period, the saints who did it would be nothing more than

So be it.

"With this person in the Song Dynasty, the world will be safe." He didn't know why a little peace of mind welled up in his heart,
As long as Li Xiuyuan doesn't die, Zhao Jing feels that he has a backer all his life.

This kind of feeling is ridiculous, since I am already considered the emperor, since I think that Li Xiuyuan will be my future backer, I don't suspect or fear this person.

But that's what it is.

Li Xiuyuan left the Zichen Palace, and the soldiers under his command also withdrew from the hall one after another, leaving only Xu Bao and a group of imperial troops, as well as civil and military officials.

He didn't kill all the civil and military officials who were possessed by the centipede spirit, because there is no one in the court at the moment, and they need to be used, and without the protection of the national teacher, they can live in peace for a while.

If you kill them now, it will only make people feel like a villain who slaughtered hundreds of officials.

However, it's just not killing now, it doesn't mean the future.
