The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 349 Li Longji Returns to the Dynasty and Establishes the Empress Dowager (Full Order)

After Shou Wang Li Mao sat on the dragon chair, he felt that his heart was not very stable.

Despite Bai Gui's various guarantees and various benefits in the future.But he is not stupid, he knows that if his father and brother come back, he will not die as a prince, but he will definitely not end well as a "Deposed Emperor".

In addition, compared to the other princes in the palace, he is only eighteen sons. If you count his age to be the emperor, he is not qualified at all.

But Bai Gui only said one thing, after he "has little intelligence, but has the appearance of Ziwei", he was appointed as the prince and entered the court as the emperor.

Therefore, if he wants to maintain his throne from being abolished now, he must hold Bai Gui's thigh tightly and delegate power to Bai Gui.

Delegating power to Bai Gui seems to be a loss of power, but it is actually a coup.

Because as long as Bai Gui has power, he... is the emperor!
His legitimacy as emperor comes from Bai Gui, and from Bai Gui's followers!

Furthermore, as a young emperor, he still thinks that he can't fight against Bai Gui. Instead of clinging to power, he doesn't have much power, he might as well use his mouth to reassure Bai Gui, the "sub-father".

The last point, among the many princes, he and Bai Gui have always been relatively close, and he has more trust in Bai Gui.

Of course, this move is not without the intention of putting Bai Gui on the fire.

It's just that Bai Gui is now the Duke of Dai and the Prime Minister, and now he has the merit of supporting Conglong. If he wants to reward him further, it will be even more difficult, and he can't really be crowned king.

As for the three-piece set of walking on the sword, not going to court, and not being famous in worship, although it is a bit taboo, in fact, this is just a story of Xiao He.

"The emperor ordered the public to praise and worship without being famous, to enter the court and not to follow, and to walk on the palace with the sword, just like the story of Xiao He." - "Three Kingdoms · Wei Zhi · Emperor Wu Ji"

"Now the new emperor has been established!"

"If you don't pay homage, could it be that you have other intentions and want to disrupt the state affairs?"

Bai Gui turned around, stood on the left side of the dragon chair, looked down at the court officials, and asked in a deep voice.

He has been the real prime minister for six years, and he has accumulated prestige among the officials for many years. There are many old people in the court, and many of them are still his former generals and subordinates.

However, some "divergent" officials hesitated for a while, and were not allowed to start saluting.

"Your family is exempt from courtesy."

Shouwang Li Mao's face was flushed with joy.

Seeing this scene, he felt that everything was worth it!

Li Bi.

Bai Gui glanced at the crowd, and said, "The Fourth Army of the Northern Yamen and the Sixteenth Guards of the Southern Yamen are the elite soldiers of the imperial court. I don’t know what Li Shangshu thinks about the elite men marching to the northern borders to defend against the Turks?"

Since supporting the young emperor took Li Longji's position, the most urgent thing now is to take the military power in Chang'an.The reason for taking away the military power in Chang'an is the most appropriate reason for the Turkic invasion of the south.

Since ancient times, the troops guarding the capital have been elite divisions. ,

At least on the surface.

"When it comes to military matters, I and other officials are proficient in Baixiang..."

"Now Prime Minister Bai has made the decision, and the lower officials seconded it!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War did not dare to hesitate, and said immediately.

This is the prestige of Zaizhi!

Now that the little emperor is backing him, even if he opposes it, it will be useless.Similarly, since it is for the country, he also feels that if Chang'an is in chaos now, and the Turkic invasion is imminent, maybe the chaos in Yongjia will resume again.

Now the imperial court's adjustable soldiers are the adjustable north and south armies guarding the capital.

"The Minister of the Ministry of War agrees, what about the others?"

Bai Gui asked again.

"The lower officials seconded the proposal..."

"The lower officials seconded the proposal..."

"The lower officials seconded the proposal..."

All the court officials said together.

……

The Turkic invasion, the failure of the post station, and the emperor's southern tour were just a cover made by Baigui.

There are countless small tribes in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he gives a little hint, the frontier information can be changed from a small tribe invasion to a Turkic invasion. Anyway, they are all grassland tribes. It's no big deal if they admit it wrong.And this kind of small tribe invasion, in the fall and winter of the year, I don't know how many.

If the post station fails, the matter is even simpler.

Li Longji, the emperor's power, was subtly taken away by Bai Gui with a simple trick without knowing it.

It seems a little dramatic.

But actually it's not dramatic.

The reason why Dong Zhuo was able to become Dong Xiangguo from the frontier was because of a minor failure of the Eastern Han court, which allowed Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses to enter Luoyi, and Dong Zhuo easily dominated the Eastern Han Dynasty's Sheji.

And Bai Gui is now the governor of a country, and with small strategies, it is not difficult to achieve such a situation when the emperor is not in Chang'an.

But... Just like Dong Zhuo would be backlashed, Bai Gui's actions would also be backlashed.

It's just that compared to the backlash caused by Dong Zhuo, a frontier general who was excluded from the court, Bai Gui, as the leader of the court, had much less backlash.

Under the premise of the Turkic invasion, under the righteousness of the family and the country, under the pressure of the court, the imperial guards guarding Chang'an had to be dismantled, and some "elites" went to the northern border under the leadership of the old general and the school lieutenant. against the Huns.

The military power in Chang'an easily fell into the hands of Bai Gui, the prime minister.

About half a month later, Li Longji returned to Beijing. Seeing that his military power had been lost, he had no choice but to temporarily admit the fact that he had been emptied. He was honored as the Supreme Emperor and lived in the Taiji Hall.

Come back the next day.

Li Longji sent someone to invite Bai Gui into the palace for a banquet, his eyes were dark.

"Bai Qing, I have always favored you..."

"Is that how you treat me?"

he asked coldly.

He was very disappointed in his heart, he always thought that Bai Gui was loyal to him.But unexpectedly, only ten days after he lost his news, Bai Gui established a new king. Although there was a reason for the incident, everyone could see that Bai Gui's ambition was in it.Not to mention that Bai Gui is now the prime minister of the imperial court, which is quite different from the former prime minister with real power, and his power has risen to a higher level.

"Your Majesty has been negligent in government affairs, and made three southern tours, consuming countless people's fat and anointing..."

"This Turkic invasion is urgent, and the minister must not..."

Bai Gui replied calmly.

If he is only willing to be prime minister for one term, then Li Longji will be fine.But his current reform has just begun, six years, six years can't do anything, he needs a longer time.

And this time, Li Longji couldn't give it.

In addition, if it weren't for the fact that Li Longji is already indulging in pleasure, the strategy of the southern tour would not have been successful.He now respects Li Longji as the Supreme Emperor, and it is better than another "Anshi Rebellion" in the future.

"Mao'er is too young to govern..."

"Bai Qing, you help me, abolish Mao'er, let me take charge of the government again, and I will crown you king! Yes, I will crown you king for Bai Qing. With Bai Qing's merits, it is enough to be crowned king!"

"What do you think of Dai Wang Baiqing? If not, Zhao Wang..."

Seeing Bai Gui's expression, Li Longji panicked, and immediately understood that Bai Gui was not loyal to him, so he knew that questioning Bai Gui would not work, so he changed his strategy and wanted to make Bai Gui the king. Tempted, he re-established him in charge of the government.

"A subject cannot be crowned king, and a subject is loyal to His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty may be drunk..."

"I'm leaving now..."

Bai Gui got up, bowed slightly to salute, and then left without looking back.

He is not that stupid to support Li Longji to take over the government again. If Li Longji regains power, he will probably be the first person to deal with him.

Walking out of the side hall, at the corner of the corridor, I saw Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui is as beautiful as ever, wearing makeup.

"Is Your Majesty discussing with Prime Minister Bai about the abolition of Mao'er?"

she asked.

Li Longji blocked the left and right, and only allowed Bai Gui to attend the banquet, which must be to discuss secret matters.And the secrets that Li Longji can discuss, without asking, must be about power.

"Although King Shou is young, he already has the appearance of a wise king."

Bai Gui didn't say anything clearly, but he said everything.

There are many reasons why he chose Li Mao, the longevity king.One is because of Concubine Wu Hui's relationship, and the other is that the longevity king Li Mao is young and easy to control.The last point, in this strategy, if it were not for Concubine Wu Hui accompanying the king, making it difficult for Li Longji to react, this matter would not have been so easy.

"The position of the crown prince is stable. There was a gap between the palace and the empress. If the crown prince ascends to the throne, our mother and son will surely die in the future. This time, it is thanks to Prime Minister Bai's perfect plan..."

Concubine Wu Hui's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, she moved to Bai Gui's side, and exhaled to Landao.

(In the 11th year of Kaiyuan, the prince Li Ying was old, and Li Longji was afraid of the prince, so he abolished the prince Li Ying with excuses, and let him go to Wu to be granted the title, and changed the son born to the queen to be the prince.)
Although she knew that Bai Gui's behavior would bring endless disasters.But whoever made the prince's position too strong could not be easily shaken.

Dead Daoist friends do not die poor Daoists!
Rather than being unable to break the game, it is better to die and break the net.

The puppet emperor is also better than the situation of their mother and son after Li Longji's death in the future.Besides, Bai Gui has no heirs, she is still clear about this, it is impossible to usurp the throne, and the seat belongs to Shouwang Li Mao.

"This is still the palace, you and I shouldn't get along too closely."

Bai Gui frowned and reminded.

Although he had formed an alliance with Concubine Wu Hui and exchanged handles with each other, this was a private relationship. On the surface, foreign ministers could not collude with concubines in the harem.

"What are you afraid of, now in the harem..."

"But it's not you and me?"

Concubine Wu Hui smiled, but she still listened to Bai Gui's words and took three or four steps back.

This is why she believes in Bai Gui so much.

Bai Gui gave her the opportunity to take charge of the power in the harem.

As for the original queen, although she still has power, her power cannot leave the Qingning Palace, and it cannot be compared with her now.

"If you want to secure His Royal Highness Shouwang's position as emperor, the next step is to confer you as the Empress Dowager."

"In this way, there are all legal principles."

"It is also an announcement to the courtiers that it is impossible for His Majesty to reset..."

Bai Gui glanced at Concubine Wu Hui and said.

Now that he established Shou Wang Li Mao as emperor, it is imperative to stabilize Shou Wang Li Mao's position as emperor.At the same time, there were still some courtiers who still held a trace of luck in Li Longji's return to Chang'an.

The establishment of Concubine Wu Hui as the queen mother is also equivalent to the great etiquette dispute in the Ming Dynasty.

Agree, that is equivalent to betraying Li Longji!

Disagreeing, it is also convenient for Bai Gui to remove these courtiers from the court and strengthen his power again.

After all, the last time the longevity king Li Mao was appointed emperor, Li Longji was not there, so there was still reason to shirk it, but now that Li Longji has returned to Chang'an, and concubine Wu Hui has been established as the queen mother, his political intentions cannot be more obvious.

Standing must be done!

"The Queen Mother..."

"I am Mao'er's biological mother, so it is only natural to become a queen mother!"

Concubine Wu Hui's beautiful eyes lit up.

She didn't think as much as Bai Gui did. The first thing she thought was that she could finally beat the concubines in the harem, including the queen.

　There is another update, probably at 03:30.
