Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2270
Li Shimin's imperial edict was quickly issued, appointing Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen and Kong Yingda as assistant ministers.

At the same time, he issued another imperial decree to let the prince supervise the country.

When the two imperial edicts were delivered to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was playing with his children. He was a little surprised to hear the contents of the imperial edict.

It stands to reason that if he really wanted to assist him as a minister, it should be some capable people, and he should have a good relationship with him, Li Chengqian, right, but the few people his father found for him still need to be discussed.

It goes without saying that Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenwen are both prime ministers, so they naturally have the ability, but Kong Yingda, apart from being more knowledgeable, has no other ability to govern the country.

Of course, he had been his teacher before.

Letting these three people serve as assistant ministers obviously had other meanings, and Li Chengqian quickly understood what his father meant. In order to protect his prince, his father really took great pains.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth: "Father, father, you are really smart, you have been confused for a while."

In Li Chengqian's view, the three of them were too close to Li Tai and Li Ke. Even if they agreed now, it would be nothing more than an arrogance to his father. Moreover, Li Ke and the others were recruiting troops in their fief, and everything They are almost ready, how can it be possible for them to stop?

After he ascended the throne, there will inevitably be some bloody storms in Datang, but his father still has hope for certain things.

Li Chengqian knew it very well, but he didn't point it out. Some things, at this point, it's useless to say anything.

Li Chengqian began to supervise the country.

He was already familiar with all the government affairs, so after taking charge of the country, there were no mistakes in many things, and he could be said to be handy in handling them.

After guarding the country like this for a month, at the end of late spring, Li Shimin's condition worsened, and he no longer ate much.

And at this time, Li Shimin finally issued an order.

"Kill that dead wood monk."

Everything was caused by the dead wood monk. If it wasn't for the dead wood monk's magic pill, why would he be like this? Now he understands that the dead wood monk is a liar, a big liar.

He was dying, and he wanted to kill Monk Deadwood right now.

Immediately after Li Shimin's order was issued, someone went to arrest Deadwood Monk.

However, by the time Jinyiwei found Monk Deadwood, Monk Deadwood's body was already failing.

Previously, Monk Deadwood didn't take this kind of magic pill. What he said in the hall before was just to deceive Li Shimin.

Monk Deadwood is already very old. After taking the magic pill, his body collapsed much faster than Li Shimin's. Now he is not much better than Li Shimin.

He regretted a little, why did he lie to Li Shimin in the first place?

But it was too late now, he didn't enjoy the blessings of a few days at all, and he was about to die now.

And just as he was thinking this way, Jin Yiwei's people directly killed him.

They don't need to wait for the dead wood monk to die slowly, they want the dead wood monk to die before Li Shimin.

After Jin Yiwei's men killed the dead monk, they returned to the palace to report to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard that Monk Deadwood had been killed, he immediately felt better, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

And after he laughed like this, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fell down.

"Holy..."

"The Holy One is dead."
-
The Son of Heaven has fallen.

The news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

And it was the first to reach the East Palace.

After Li Chengqian heard the news, he suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed: "Father..."

Immediately afterwards, he fainted.

Seeing this scene, the people in the East Palace were very worried and hurried to call the imperial doctor. However, before the imperial doctor came, Prince Li Chengqian had already slowly woken up.

After he woke up, he immediately called Tang Jian and others.

"Father has passed away, I'm afraid I will trouble you all for the next matter."

These people are all close friends of Li Chengqian, and they are naturally clear about what Li Chengqian said.

The other princes wanted to plot wrongdoing, and Chang'an City might be unstable, so what they had to do was to let Li Chengqian ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the other thing was to ensure Li Chengqian's safety.

And if they want Li Chengqian to ascend the throne as soon as possible, then they must control the entire palace. In addition, all civil and military ministers must also be controlled in the palace. These people are under control, and they are not allowed to act rashly, so that he, Li Chengqian, can ascend the throne safely.

As long as he becomes emperor, even if those feudal lords want to rebel, he is capable enough to deal with it.

Li Chengqian just said this, and the others quickly went down to prepare.

First of all, it is to order all civil and military officials to enter the palace. This is not a precedent. In any dynasty, when the imperial power changes, it is basically like this. Wanting to keep someone out of trouble is real.

And as long as the order is issued and someone refuses to obey, they can be arrested or even killed for treason, so under normal circumstances, those officials will enter the palace.

At the same time that this order was issued, the guards in the palace were quickly replaced by Prince Li Chengqian. It's not difficult to do something.

However, the guards in the palace can be replaced by Li Chengqian's people, and the guards guarding the palace gate can also be replaced by Li Chengqian's people, but the Jinyi guards in the palace are not easy to change, and these Jinyi guards will definitely be in the palace when the time comes. in guard.

In this way, if there is a problem with these Jinyiwei, there will be some accidents.

But now, Li Chengqian couldn't control these anymore. After the guards in the palace were replaced by his people, and after his people controlled some soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian finally decided to enter the palace.

Now he must enter the palace, he wants to become the master of the palace, and after all the officials have arrived at the palace, he will be enthroned immediately. Of course, this is just enthronement. If he wants to become the real emperor, he still needs a enthronement ceremony.

However, this is not important, as long as he is enthroned in the palace, he is the emperor in name, even if the enthronement ceremony is later, it doesn't matter.
