Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 379 Suspension of enthronement
"My lord, you must ascend the throne as soon as possible."

Hou Junji was a little anxious. He had contributed a lot to the change of Xuanwu Gate. If Li Shimin ascended the throne, he would be able to get the title of Duke no matter what.

After Hou Junji finished speaking, all the generals followed suit, and what Hou Junji said touched their hearts.

If they have paid now, they should be rewarded immediately. How can they wait?
"My lord, you should continue to be troubled by it. Only after you ascended the throne, everything will not be abnormal. Otherwise, there will be accidents during this period. How is the party?"

Hou Junji stood in front of the crowd and said, and everyone understood what he meant, Li Yuan was still young, if he was not allowed to abdicate, would he take the opportunity to return the throne and dispose of Li Shimin?
After all, Li Yuan was the founding king of the Tang Dynasty, and his prestige was unparalleled.

Hearing Hou Junji's words, Li Shimin was also a little moved. First, he wanted to ascend the throne immediately. Second, what Hou Junji said was right. It would be a long night and dreamy, and ascension to the throne is the best solution.

Seeing that Li Shimin was a little moved, Qin Tian shook his head and said, "My lord, don't forget that apart from the remnants of the Eastern Palace that have not been resolved and the court officials have not appeased, there is another serious problem that the lord has to consider."

"what?"

"Princes everywhere."

"Lords of various places?" Li Shimin's expression was shocked, and Qin Tian continued: "Most of the vassals of various places are loyal to the Holy One, if you kill your brother and force the palace, do you think these vassals from all over the place will turn against King Qin? At that time, the prince was going to make enemies with the vassal princes from all over the world, and he was afraid that he would be stretched. On the other side of Lingzhou, the Turks were staring at him, and they might take the opportunity to attack after the news of the palace change spread. At that time, the prince was Should we deal with the vassals everywhere, or send troops to Lingzhou?"

Although the military strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong, it was not many. If the vassal kings of various places rebelled, the Tang Dynasty, which had just been unified, might be torn apart again.

Li Shimin's heart sank slightly, and there was a cold hum on his forehead.

"Suspend the enthronement, and coerce the emperor to order the officials. In this way, the officials will be easy to appease, and the vassal kings of various places will not act rashly. The prince only needs to concentrate his forces to resist the Turkic attack."

Qin Tian talked eloquently, and Li Shimin's heart suddenly brightened when he heard it. Li Ji stood beside him, stroking his beard with satisfaction. Although Cheng Yaojin wanted Li Shimin to ascend the throne as soon as possible, he had to agree with Qin Tian at this time. For the point of view, he could only snort at Qin Tian and let it go.

The side hall suddenly became a little quiet, and the wind and snow outside did not know when it gradually stopped.

After a long time, Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said: "The enthronement is postponed, but you can rest assured that after this king ascends the throne, there will be no less credit for waiting."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Shimin made this decision, he asked Li Ji to make some arrangements in the palace as soon as possible. Since he wanted to suspend his ascension to the throne, in order to avoid any changes, it was especially important to control the palace and his father.

Therefore, only his people can be in the palace, and the officials in the court cannot easily contact Li Yuan.

After arranging Li Ji's tasks, Li Shimin said: "Qin Tian, ​​Yu Chigong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Shubao..."

Li Shimin mentioned the names of more than a dozen people in a row, and among the dozens of people, there were generals and advisors. After saying this, Li Shimin said: "You follow me to the imperial father's bedroom."

Now that the palace is under control, it's time for his father to learn to be smarter.

The more people you follow, the more momentum you have.
-
Concubine Yin De's bedroom.

The snow outside has stopped, and I don't know when it started, and the charcoal fire in the kang was also extinguished.

But because of this accident, no servants noticed this at all.

Or, even if someone notices it, they won't light the fire again.

After all, Qin Wang Li Shimin succeeded in forcing the palace, Concubine Yin De and Li Yuan are probably going to become prisoners, people in the palace are sometimes the most powerful, once you lose power, even a little maid can ignore you.

The bedroom was a bit cold, Li Yuan and Concubine Yin De hugged each other to keep warm, Concubine Yin De hid in Li Yuan's arms and wept, as if it never stopped for a moment.

Li Yuan was a little angry, but also a little helpless, his eyes were a little lost, he didn't know what he was thinking.

When Li Shimin brought people in, the two of them hugged like this, one was crying, and the other was looking into the distance blankly.

"Father, my son is late, the rebels have recovered, father can rest assured..."

After Li Shimin entered, he immediately saluted and reported it. Concubine Yin De was somewhat surprised when she heard this, and then naively thought that Li Shimin just got rid of Li Jiancheng, and that the Great Tang would still belong to Li Yuan in the future.

But Li Yuan was not as naive as her, he just smiled wryly.

From his point of view, Li Shimin has already controlled everything, so it is impossible for him to give it back to himself.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit awkward. The father and son met, but it was not that harmonious.

But at this moment, Li Shimin frowned suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

With this shout, the palace maid and eunuch standing outside immediately ran in: "My lord... what orders does the lord have?"

"Bold, the kang in this bedroom has been extinguished. Why don't you light it up? Is it possible that my father will be frozen to death?"

Li Shimin's appearance stunned those court ladies and eunuchs. They didn't understand that Li Shimin had already controlled everything, so why did he treat Li Yuan so well?
Wouldn't it be enough to just ascend the throne?

But these eunuchs and maids didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I will go and light the fire."

The eunuchs and maids hurried back. Not long after, Concubine Yin De's bedroom gradually warmed up again. Li Yuan looked up at Li Shimin and smiled softly: "What else do you want to say?"

Hypocrisy has no meaning at this time, Li Yuan is heartbroken, but there is nothing he can do.

Li Shimin still looked respectful, and said: "Father, the crown prince has rebelled and has been punished by my ministers, but those who are attached to the East Palace, my ministers feel that they should not be implicated, so I ask my father to order, as long as they are willing If you surrender, you can forget the past.”

Li Yuan frowned, these words should be said by Li Shimin, why should he give orders?
"It's up to you!" Although Li Yuan was puzzled, he still complied. It is also a good thing for him to avoid the expansion of the killing.

At this time, Du Ruhui suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, now that the crown prince has been murdered for his rebellion, there is a vacancy for the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. I think it is best to register as a crown prince as soon as possible."

When Du Ruhui said these words, Li Yuan's expression moved slightly, and then he finally understood Li Shimin's meaning, his son is really calculating.

He killed his elder brother and forced his father, but in the end he still wanted to inherit the rule in a formal way, so as to avoid scolding.

It's beautiful.
