The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 670 Xiushu returns to the palace

It was cold and windy.

Countless people watched the army march towards the palace.

In front of the old palace gate of Zhongxing Mansion, Tuobaxiong, He Liandong, Wudeng and other prominent patriarchs of the Xixia clan waited outside the palace gate along with the powerful members of the clan.

The army came to the palace.

Tuoba Xiong and others all knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty welcomes you!"

He Liancheng and other generals from prominent families all winked at the patriarch of the family, but unfortunately, He Liandong and others all lowered their heads.These winks were thrown to Xiazi.

The army stopped.

Zhongsun Qifu sat on the chariot a little later beside Long Lu, and said: "The emperor's dragon is not in good health, everyone, please follow Long Lu into the palace."

Only then did Tuoba Xiong and the others raise their heads in surprise.

Is the emperor's dragon in good health?

Then they saw the blinking eyelids of the elites of their respective races.

However, who can know what they want to express?

Long Zhu's car curtains and door curtains were sealed from beginning to end, and even the cold wind couldn't blow up even a corner of them.

Hundreds of guards and guards rushed into the palace.

Zhongsun Qifu, He Liancheng and others followed.

The heads of each family wanted to ask each other, but because they fell behind, they could only enter the palace slowly with doubts.

It's just that some people thought in their hearts, to what extent is the emperor's dragon's body unhealthy?
Will this affect the date of the coronation ceremony?

But those who knew Li Wangyuan well were full of suspicion.The emperor is said to have the strength of the Shangyuan realm, with his internal energy cultivation, how could he be ill for no reason?

All the people entered the palace with their own minds, and there were hundreds of them.

This is afraid that all the people who have enough influence in Xixia have gathered here.

To the palace hall.

Long Huo stopped, and everyone stopped.

The curtain of the Longchao gate was finally lifted, and Li Xiushu held Li Wangyuan's urn and stepped on the backs of the soldiers to drive him up and down.Climb the jade ladder step by step, cross the dragon wall, and go to the main hall.

Zhongsun Qifu bowed his head and followed behind Li Xiushu.

Someone in the crowd looked up and saw the urn in Li Xiushu's hand, his expression changed drastically.

With their mentality, Chengfu, at this time, of course understand that the emperor's illness is nothing but bullshit.The emperor has died!

Immediately, someone glared at the elites who went out with the army at home and left.

If they had known that the emperor had passed away, they would never have easily stepped into this Zhongxing mansion.

Seeing his father He Liandong's reproachful gaze, He Liancheng shook his head slightly, showing a look of helplessness.If there is a chance, why doesn't he spread the news?

It's a pity that since the emperor passed away and the princess returned to the army, these generals have been treated with extreme scrutiny.

The methods of the Princess City Mansion far exceeded their expectations.

Now, He Liancheng has given up any hope that his family can seize the power of Xixia after the emperor's death.Shaking his head slightly, he signaled his father not to act rashly.

It is no secret that Zhongsun Qifu and other veteran officials with great influence in Xixia are loyal to Her Royal Highness in the army.

Now that many patriarchs have entered the imperial palace, how can the ruthless Princess Princess let the power fall aside?

Li Xiushu and Zhongsun Qifu arrived at the top of the steps, in front of the main hall.

Turn around suddenly.

Li Xiushu said in a cold voice: "My brother was wounded by the rebellious army and murdered by bandits. Unfortunately, he passed away and was buried in the imperial mausoleum on the first day of the new year!"

In a word, her identity is ready to be revealed.

When Tuoba Xiong and others heard her utter these words, they felt no luck at all.

The emperor really died.

For a moment, everyone's minds became even more chaotic.

Previously, they only thought that the emperor would lead a large army to triumphantly, so these real "big border officials" had no other intentions, but only wanted to come to get a good title.After all, Li Wangyuan is a direct descendant of the royal family, a prince with a pure bloodline, and he is assisted by Zhongsun Qifu and others. No matter what crooked ideas they have, they can't do it.In the past, he was able to bear the burden of humiliation and serve the Yuan Dynasty, but now there is nothing wrong with being truly loyal to the emperor.

But now, the emperor died.Their minds were lifted.

In the territory of Xixia, there is no longer any great talent of the royal family who can control everyone.If they support someone to go to the Grand Ceremony, wouldn't they be able to truly control Xixia, so that they can hold the emperor to order the princes?

These patriarchs had previously assisted Zhongsun Qifu in restoration in order to get rid of the control of the Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of which, they were all ambitious people.

Under such temptation, no one can really keep calm, and everyone's heart is ups and downs.

If I had known about the emperor's death, no one would have come to Zhongxing Mansion.

Although he does not dare to stand on his own, he may not be able to really support someone to sit on the dragon chair, but wouldn't it be better to sit on his own territory and just surrender to Xixia?

Many people couldn't help casting their eyes on Zhongsun Qifu with fear and suspicion.

They only thought that it was Zhongsun Qifu who concealed the news of the emperor's death.

This old guy wants to become emperor?
Or do you want to support the puppet?
In Xixia, Zhongsun Qifu has great prestige.Among so many people, he is undoubtedly the one who is most likely to control the new emperor, and even proclaim himself emperor.

Tuoba Xiong and the others all had ugly faces.

I thought to myself, this time it would be difficult to leave Zhongxing Mansion easily.

Why don't you make false claims with the old thief Zhongsun Qifu first, and wait until you go back to your own territory?

However, Zhongsun Qifu, an old thief, is so scheming, would he let himself wait for others to go back like this?

And just when everyone was in a state of confusion, Li Xiushu spoke again.

"Brother's hatred must be avenged. Xixia has just been established, so there must be no owner. I have decided to take over the Imperial Seal, and I will also ascend the throne on the first day of the Lunar New Year and proclaim myself emperor. I vow to prosper Xixia and avenge my brother!"

Senseless.

Most of the people present were dumbfounded.

The patriarchs who were kneeling on the ground all looked up at Li Xiushu in amazement.

This is definitely not Zhongsun Qifu's handwriting.

They have dealt with Zhongsun Qifu for decades, so they know him very well.Zhongsun Qifu has always acted after making decisions, slowly planning, just like the secret development of power under the control of the Yuan Dynasty these years.Her Royal Highness's idea of ​​proclaiming the emperor directly is too abrupt, and it cannot be Zhongsun Qifu's instruction.

Moreover, if Zhongsun Qifu's city government wants to support puppets, it will never support female streams like Her Highness the Princess.

At this moment, everyone found out.It turned out that Her Royal Highness the princess who was ignored by them was not an ordinary person.

Looking at her eyes, it doesn't seem like this thought suddenly appeared.

The younger generation in the family failed to pass the news of the emperor's death back home, could it be that it was all under the arm of the princess?

Yes.

Her Royal Highness the Princess used to be a concubine in the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. It seems that it is not impossible to have such a means of the city.

Someone suddenly thought of this.

Under the steps, no one spoke, and for a long time, needles could be heard.

"Why? Do you have any objections?"

Li Xiushu's extremely beautiful phoenix eyes stared at everyone, "Although this palace is a female stream, it is the only direct lineage of the royal family left. If you don't speak, do you want to support others to become emperor?"

When everyone who was already in a state of confusion heard her words, their heads became even more confused.

Rao these people are all powerful in Xixia, and all of them are very deep in the city, but the death of Li Wangyuan was too sudden, and they really didn't have any mental preparations.At this moment, no one made up his mind.

Li Xiushu really caught them off guard.

"The old minister kowtows to the emperor!"

"The old minister kowtows to the emperor!"

"The old minister kowtows to the emperor!"

……

And at this moment, led by Zhongsun Qifu, all the old Xixia ministers kowtowed to Li Xiushu.

Although none of these veteran ministers is the real master of the military divisions except Zhongsun Qifu, they all have prestige and influence that cannot be underestimated in various places.

The restoration forces gathered by them, centered on Zhongsun Qifu, already have the strength to fight against the other families.

Otherwise, after Li Wangyuan came back, he would not be able to restore the restoration by talking about it.

Tuoba Xiong, He Liandong and others were in a state of confusion.

No one has the confidence to overwhelm these old courtiers.

If they fall out with these old guys, even their respective territories will be in chaos.

It's just that if they just agree with Li Xiushu's accession to the throne, who would be willing?Who wants to?
Since ancient times, only Wu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty has been the only one who has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Not to mention their own selfishness, just take the general trend of Xixia as an example, among Tuobaxiong and others, how many people can believe that Li Xiushu can really bring Xixia to glory?

The current Xixia is far from the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.

These days, the status of women is far inferior to that of men after all.

In the end, someone still bit the bullet and said, "Your Highness, since the founding of our dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a princess to proclaim herself emperor..."
