The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 199 Emperor Li Shimin

"Why does Your Majesty suddenly abdicate?!"

"I don't know!"

"I heard that the divine bird had just appeared in the palace the day before, and I had a long conversation with His Majesty in the palace!"

"And not long after the Divine Bird left, news came out that His Majesty wanted to give in to the Crown Prince!"

"Is it because of the divine bird? What did the divine bird say to His Majesty?"

"I don't know, I heard that no one else was present at the time!"

"..."

……

In Chang'an City, everyone was discussing this matter in restaurants, tea shops, fireworks places, etc.

Obviously, this has become shocking news to everyone in the world.

In the court, the civil and military officials were even more confused. They didn't know why the emperor suddenly came up with this idea.

The one who is even more confused, panicked and frightened is none other than the Crown Prince Li Shimin himself.

At this time, in the Prince's Mansion, the staff and generals in Prince Li Shimin's Mansion all frowned, analyzing the reasons behind this news.

But after a long discussion, they still shook their heads.

After all, as long as you sit in a high position, the position of emperor, who would hate it?

I'm afraid no one will give up!

But at this time, the emperor actually released this news. I don't know if it was intentional or some conspiracy.

Li Shimin also frowned, but in an instant, he thought of something and immediately ordered: "Prepare your horses and go outside the city!"

Under Lishan Mountain, where the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower are located, Prince Li Shimin came alone.

It seems that Li Shimin knew that Li Shimin would come, and Li Xinni had been waiting for a long time.

"Sister, do you know any news?"

Prince Li Shimin sat opposite Li Xinni, looking at the tea on the table in front of him, but was not in the mood to drink it.

"Know!"

Li Xinni nodded, looked at Li Shimin opposite with a smile, and said softly: "Shimin, you are the prince and the general leading the army, why do you look so panicked at this time?"

"I……"

Hearing his sister's question, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he had done. He couldn't help but recall his previous behavior, and he was indeed too panicked.

It’s not like the mentality and mind that a king should have!

After a while, the panic and confusion on Li Shimin's face disappeared, replaced by calmness and confidence!

So, he looked at Li Xinni opposite and said, "It's Shimin who has lost his composure!"

"It's okay..."

Li Xinni smiled, and then said proactively: "I know what you are wondering about. As for the matters in the palace, they are indeed related to the divine bird, but my father's idea of ​​abdicating the throne has nothing to do with the divine bird."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Obviously, I came up with this idea because I listened to the words of the divine bird. There should be no other reasons, so don't think too much about it."

"I see……"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was obviously relieved.

But he was still a little curious about what the divine bird said to his father, which could actually make the emperor want to abdicate.

Give up the throne that countless people yearn for!

……

Bai Zhi in the dark also sighed. As for what he said to Emperor Li Yuan?

In fact, it is very simple. Emperor Li Yuan asked him about immortality, but Bai Zhi rejected him outright. Of course, he also told Emperor Li Yuan how to prolong his life.

It's nothing more than taking care of your body and not getting tired or so on.

Obviously, this throne made Emperor Li Yuan feel tired, so he had the idea of ​​abdicating.

Of course, in Bai Zhi's opinion, being an emperor is indeed more relaxing and enjoyable than being an emperor.

Although he was unable to implement his own country-governing strategy, he was very relaxed in other aspects.

The superiors can scold the emperor, and the subordinates can rule the people without having to worry about state affairs. According to later generations, they have entered retirement life early.

Who doesn’t want to lie down early?

Perhaps because of his words, Emperor Li Yuan also figured it out!

At this time, Bai Zhi could no longer empathize with human thoughts.

However, according to the original history, Li Shimin should have launched the Xuanwumen Revolution at this time and had already succeeded to the throne for several years.

But because of his own reasons, Li Shimin was still the prince at this time. Perhaps, this was the price for inheriting the throne of the emperor in a legitimate way!

——Become emperor in a few years!

Looking at Li Shimin's leaving figure, Li Xinni also became worried. However, what she worried about was not whether Li Shimin could become emperor, but whether Li Shimin could be a good emperor.

Bai Zhi appeared on the side, his gorgeous feathers emitting a little bit of divine light, his phoenix crown shining brightly, and his three long tail feathers shining with purple starlight.

Hearing Li Xinni's worries, Bai Zhi smiled and said, "You are indeed Li Shimin's biological sister!"

"How to say?"

Li Xinni tilted her head slightly, her face was absolutely beautiful, and her whole body was filled with the charm of a mature woman, but her slightly tilted head at this moment was also a bit cute and cute.

"Only a biological sister would be worried about her biological brother - after all, the prince's ability is obvious to all the officials in the court!"

"The emperor gave in with peace of mind, and it can be seen from this."

"Too!"

Hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Li Xinni also smiled.

The two of them were silent, looking at the scenery in the distance outside the pavilion, and then looking at the Lishan Divine Bird Temple not far away. The majestic and solemn palace of the Divine Bird Palace stands among the green trees.

You can see the architectural style of the Qin Dynasty and the architectural style of the Han Dynasty.

After a long time, Li Xinni finally said: "It's too boring to stay in Chang'an. I want to travel around the Tang Dynasty..."

"Wandering around the world?"

Bai Zhi asked subconsciously: "What about the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower in Chang'an City?"

"Of course someone else will be responsible..."

……

The news that the emperor was about to abdicate spread throughout the Tang Dynasty in just seven days.

Even people from other counties have heard about it.

But it has no impact on ordinary people as to who the emperor is.

For high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the impact is very great.

Therefore, in the past few days, there was an endless stream of people going to the Prince's Mansion to give gifts, but Li Shimin stayed behind closed doors and saw no one.

After a month of this, the news of the emperor's abdication was finally confirmed.

The current emperor has really confirmed that he will abdicate to the crown prince Li Shimin and become the supreme emperor!

On top of the emperor's abdication ceremony, hundreds of civil and military officials, including Prince Li Shimin, Princess Yong'an, Princess Pingyang, etc., were all present.

Even the shadow of the divine bird appeared in the sky, seeming to be celebrating the ascension of Prince Li Shimin to the throne.

"Destiny is in the Tang Dynasty!"

The appearance of the divine bird is the greatest support!

From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, and now to the Tang Dynasty, every time the divine bird appears and interferes in political affairs, there will be a great emperor!

From the Qin State that unified the six kingdoms, to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who conquered the world, I wonder what kind of emperor will appear in the Tang Dynasty at this time!

Some of the officials in the Prince's Mansion are looking forward to it.

As the emperor's abdication hall came to an end, the ministers felt a little absent-minded. They felt that everything was too dreamy, and they did not expect that it was happening right in front of their eyes.

The emperor actually abdicated the throne on his own initiative. Although it was passed down to his son, the current crown prince, this was the first time that such an early and voluntary abdication had happened.

In the 800 years before the Han Dynasty, nothing like this happened.

At this moment, in front of the magnificent and majestic palace, Li Shimin was wearing a gorgeous and majestic imperial crown, which was put on by Li Yuan himself.

And looking at Li Yuan, he was wearing the same imperial robe, but he was no longer wearing a crown.

After all, Li Yuan was no longer the emperor at this time, but the Supreme Emperor. His Majesty Dan, the ministers saluted respectfully and played elegant music, marking the emergence of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers below, and then exercised his rights as the emperor, namely: amnesty to the world!

Subsequently, the officials followed the emperor into the palace and began Li Shimin's first court meeting as emperor.

As for the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, he naturally withdrew from the center of power and lived deep in the palace.

……

Li Xinni looked a little sighing as she walked out of the palace.

"Time flies, as if in the blink of an eye, Shimin became the emperor!"

Li Xinni sighed, but there was no envy on her face. She had no idea about rights.

However, just as Li Xinni walked down the huge steps in front of the palace, footsteps could be heard from behind, and at the same time there was a familiar call.

"Xin Ni..."

Li Xinni turned around and saw that it was her third sister.

"Three sisters!"

Li Xinni shouted, with a moving smile on her face.

Seeing Li Xinni's beautiful appearance, even Princess Pingyang, who is also a woman, was stunned, and then smiled and said: "My sister is getting more and more beautiful. I wonder which man will take advantage of her in the future!"

Princess Pingyang has reached the age of forty, and due to the hard work in the early years, she has already shown her age.

Standing next to Li Xinni, her appearance is clearly highlighted.

Hearing her sister's praise, Li Xinni just smiled and then asked, "Why is sister coming out?"

After all, the royal meeting in the palace is in progress.

"The things inside are boring!"

Princess Pingyang did not hide the impatience on her face, and the two of them continued walking outside the palace while saying: "In a few days, I will tell the people of the world that I will take off the burdens on my body, just like my father, and enjoy life... …”

Li Xinni was not surprised when she heard what Princess Pingyang said.

After all, this sister of mine is a woman. It is unprecedented for her to hold an official position in the court, and she may not be able to reach a higher level in the future.

With Princess Pingyang's temperament, she would not be obsessed with power.

"That's fine!"

Li Xinni nodded, and then said her plan, "I also want to go outside Chang'an!"

"Oh? Are you traveling around the world?"

Princess Pingyang looked at Li Xinni aside and couldn't help but worry: "If it's just you, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid neither my father nor the emperor will agree."

"Don't worry, you will be accompanied by the divine bird!"

A look of anticipation appeared on Li Xinni's face.

Staying in Chang'an City, busy in the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower all day long, life is as dull as water.

Perhaps the scenery outside Chang'an will bring a different experience.

Hearing the word divine bird, Princess Pingyang showed a trace of envy and reverence on her face, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant. Then he looked at the beautiful and elegant sister beside him and let out a long sigh.

"Sometimes I really envy you, sister. You can do whatever you want..."

Li Xinni didn't know how to answer this sentence.

Everyone's life is mostly influenced by the outside world, so how much room for choice do they have?

But he is an exception.

Because, I have a divine bird!

If there was no divine bird, I would probably be like most princesses in history and become a bargaining chip for the emperor's power exchange.

Now that I have a divine bird, in a sense, I can be considered to have influenced the world.

"If you want to travel around the world, do you really decide to go alone?"

Princess Pingyang on the side was still a little worried.

"Only myself."

Li Xinni nodded.

"All right……"

……

The change of emperor in the Tang Dynasty has spread throughout the world, and it has no impact on the people of the Tang Dynasty. But for the countries surrounding Datang, they had to be careful.

Because they learned that the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, when he was still the prince, led troops to fight and defeated all the enemies of the Tang Dynasty.

And now that he has become the emperor, will he use troops abroad?

Therefore, some countries began to worry.

Among them, Tibet was the most nervous.

In the past few years, they fought against the Tang Dynasty and returned with a huge defeat. Due to the influence of the terrain, the Tang Dynasty was prevented from continuing its conquest.

This made them feel happy, but at the same time, they were even more scared.

They were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would train soldiers to fight on the plateau and then conquer them.

At the same time, other countries also sent envoys to Datang.

"There are envoys from the Japanese Kingdom in the eastern sea, congratulating His Majesty on becoming the emperor!"

In the palace, an official was reporting to Emperor Li Shimin.

"Japanese country..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin, who had just become emperor, suddenly fell silent, put down the ink pen in his hand, and asked: "I heard that in the former Han Dynasty, a Japanese envoy came to court and claimed to be the emperor?"

Hearing Emperor Li Shimin's words, the officials below nodded and said: "Your Majesty, that's right!"

"The emperor of the former Han Dynasty heard this and became angry. He ordered to rebuke the Japanese envoys and sent people to the Japanese country to rebuke the Japanese king!"

"When the Tang Dynasty was first established, were there any envoys from Japan?"

"Your Majesty, it has never happened before."

"Humph!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted coldly. He remembered what happened to the Japanese country recorded in the history books. During the 800 years of the rule of the former Han Dynasty, the Japanese rebelled many times and invaded the coastal borders many times.

"The people of Japan are short and insignificant, have low self-esteem and are ambitious, so beware of them!"

"The minister then rebuked the Japanese waiter and asked the Japanese king if he still calls himself the emperor?"

The official below said so.

"good!"

Emperor Li Shimin nodded, agreeing with the actions of the officials below.

"Has an envoy from Korea ever come?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

The official below said again: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the relationship with Goryeo was very delicate."

"Order a rebuke!"

Li Shimin looked at the document in his hand without raising his head.

After the foreign waiters had finished, Emperor Li Shimin said: "I have given the order that next year will be the first year of Zhenguan..."

"...Order the Goryeo Kingdom to send an envoy to complain about disrespect to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, the Tang army will arrive in an instant!"

"Yes!"

When the officials below heard this, they showed no signs of surprise. They all know that the emperor at this time has the ambition to expand the territory, and what he does at this time is to pave the way for the future.
