Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 422 Enthroned
The most difficult thing in the world is to endure.

Li Yuan has been enduring.

I was put under house arrest by my son, if he wants to get mad, can't he?
It might be hard, but it's definitely doable.

But he still endured it, not because he was afraid of death, but because he knew very well that if he fell out with his son, his son could still sit on the throne with iron and blood.

It's just that at that time, the princes of the world will definitely take the opportunity to crusade against him.

The emperor is in chaos again. Is this Tang Dynasty going to learn from the Sui Dynasty and die in two generations?

This is what he doesn't want to see, so he chooses to endure.

It's just that no matter how much I endure, there are times when I want to vent, such as when I'm drunk and accompanied by old friends.

Li Yuan was talking and cursing with the strength of wine, and Pei Ji cautiously responded beside him, but he didn't dare to say anything else. It was not until Li Yuan was tired of cursing that Pei Ji stepped forward and said, "My lord, the matter has come to an end, why don't you let him go?" Bar."

Li Yuan waved his hand and didn't continue talking. Seeing this, Pei Ji turned around and left without stopping.

The next day, the morning court did not take place in the side hall, but came to the main hall.

Among the officials, only a few knew the situation, only Qin Shubao, Changsun Wuji, the old officials of the Qin Palace, so they were not surprised to come to the main hall to attend the early court.

But many people are very puzzled by this.

And according to their understanding, they would only come to the main hall when the saint was in court.

"Could it be that the Holy Majesty is going to court today?"

Thinking of it, many officials felt a little uneasy.

The weather in spring is just right, standing in the main hall is neither cold nor hot.

Li Shimin, who was supposed to be sitting on the top, was standing below today. After the officials saw it, they became more and more sure of what they thought in their hearts, and they were afraid that something would happen today.

The main hall was very quiet, and there was no one who even whispered.

"The Holy Majesty goes to court!" The eunuch shouted loudly, and then Li Yuan came down to the main hall with the support of two eunuchs.

Today's Li Yuan looked much more haggard than the last time he saw him. After the officials saluted, the whole hall suddenly became quiet again.

After seeing this, an eunuch quickly glanced at Li Yuan: "My lord..."

Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair in a daze, he hadn't been on the dragon chair for a long time.

In the past, he was greedy for pleasure, and he didn't think much about going to court in the morning, and he wanted to retire as soon as possible, but now, he just sits on the dragon chair and doesn't want to go down.

I regret it at the beginning, I don’t know how to cherish it.

After being reminded by the eunuch, Li Yuan finally came to his senses.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

At this time, the ministers saluting got up one after another.

"Today's morning court, I will only say one thing..." Li Yuan suddenly coughed violently, and all the officials listened below, their hearts tugged.

"My dear friends have also seen that my health is not very good. I can't take care of this Tang Dynasty anymore. Fortunately, there is a prince, so I can rest easy. I decided to abdicate and let the prince ascend the throne. I will be the Supreme Emperor , no longer care about the affairs of the court.”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but on Li Shimin's side, he suddenly became anxious, and hurried forward and said: "Father is in the prime of his life, how can he abdicate, this... this puts a lot of pressure on my son, and I feel worried." I am uneasy, please continue to manage the government."

Abdicating the throne to the virtuous, the sage had to give in once or twice. Although Li Shimin wanted the throne very much in his heart, he couldn't let Li Yuan say it, he wanted it.

If this is the case, it doesn't look good. He really can't refuse what he wants to show, and he has to be enthroned as a last resort.

Li Shimin pushed back, and Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair and suddenly froze again. He didn't speak for a long time, but the little eunuch next to him reminded him again, and Li Yuan suddenly said: "Father is old and often forgets things. Father can’t take care of things anymore, Shimin, this Great Tang... Father will be handed over to you, and the construction will be completed for Father, so that the people of the Great Tang can live a good life, understand?"

In the end, Li Yuan still expressed his high hopes. Even if he had to step aside, he still hoped that Li Shimin could do a better job, for the sake of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin originally wanted to give way again, but Li Yuan's words made it difficult for him to continue to give way. At this time, no matter how you look at it, the way back seems fake.

Although it was a bit unsightly, at this time Li Shimin could only bite the bullet and complied: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely not let Father down."

The meditation session ended like this. Although it was a bit embarrassing, Li Shimin still achieved his goal.

When retiring from the imperial court, people in the entire Tang Dynasty had already started to get busy. Those who were in charge of the enthronement ceremony were going to take care of the enthronement ceremony, and those who were in charge of guarding the safety were responsible for guarding the safety.

Anyway, what should be done, just do it, and it must be fast.

Li Shimin had postponed his enthronement for more than two months, and he couldn't wait any longer.

He wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Only when he ascends the throne and sits on the throne of the emperor will there be no troubles and he can be completely relieved.

Chang'an began to get busy, and the news of Li Yuan's Zen position also spread in Chang'an City.

"I really didn't expect that the Holy Majesty actually took the Zen position."

"What's the matter? After the change of Xuanwumen, the prince can actually ascend the throne. It is too late to ascend the throne now."

"Hush, keep your voice down, can this matter be discussed casually?"

The common people knew many things in their hearts, but in the open Tang Dynasty, not everything could be discussed.

In any dynasty, don't talk about state affairs. The four characters have always been applicable.

The people in Chang'an City talked a lot in private, and rumors about Xuanwumen began to spread in Chang'an City again, and because of the enthronement ceremony, Chang'an City suddenly entered a very tense state.

As if all of a sudden, the city of Chang'an became cloudy.

Strict investigations began at the gates of the four cities, and the actions of many foreign businessmen in the eastern and western cities were restricted. Li Jiancheng's old party, who was already very low-key, has become even more low-key now.

Because they know that at this time, whoever dares to touch Li Shimin's bad luck will really dare to strip you alive.

But when the entire Chang'an city was in such a tense state, some people were very excited, and they were those people who had the merit of being a dragon.

After the change of Xuanwu Gate, because Li Shimin was still the crown prince, it was inconvenient to grant rewards, but as soon as Li Shimin came to the throne, these rewards would probably be indispensable, right?

After all, after ascending to the throne, Li Shimin wanted to appease the hearts of these Conglong heros, and it was a bit unreasonable not to reward them.

So before Li Shimin ascended the throne, as long as Cheng Yaojin and others met, they would laugh and discuss what rewards they would get, whether their titles would be improved, and so on.

And Qin Tian, ​​who protected the entire Qin Palace, was naturally also included in the discussion.

His contribution is not small, Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, I am afraid that he will be rewarded a lot, right?
