Ji Tang

Chapter 1368 Abdication

Gululu~

But just as they were waiting for the emperor to say goodbye, everyone was startled when they heard the sound of the wheels rolling. At the entrance of the main hall, Prince Li Chengqian appeared in front of everyone, pushing a wheelchair similar to Ji Song's.

Li Shimin's face looked ugly, but Ji Song knew that it was after makeup, otherwise it would be even worse!

Seeing how the mighty Majesty in the past turned out to be now, many of the veterans' eyes were red, and some even started to cry loudly!

Today, not only the former veterans are here, but retired veterans like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are also here. All the dignitaries in Beijing are not absent. If anyone doesn’t have a good eye today, I’m afraid he won’t appear here in the future!

After finally sitting down on the dragon chair, I heard a weak voice: "Everyone, please get back on your feet!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as everyone got up, Liu Hongji stood up and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Li Shimin saw Liu Hongji showing his true feelings, and the dissatisfaction he had with him in the past disappeared. In any case, he did feel the old man's heart about this matter.

"Okay, stop crying, don't be afraid of people laughing at you!"

"Stand aside, I have something to say!"

Liu Hongji had a thousand words to say, but in the end he could only say helplessly: "Promise!"

At this time, there was no sound in the hall, except for one or two sobs coming from the corner from time to time, which comforted Li Shimin a lot!

"Dear ladies!"

"I don't have much time!"

Wow!

As soon as he said these words, the whole hall was boiling!

Changsun Wuji said loudly: "Why do you say this? Your Majesty is so blessed that he will live a long life. Your Majesty must not do this!"

"Your Majesty's words make me feel so embarrassed. Your Majesty, I am so incompetent!"

"Your Majesty was assassinated, but I could do nothing. I deserve to die!"

"."

At this time, whether it was true or false, Li Shimin felt much better. He deserved it for his insistence on going his own way, and he deserved it. What he was most worried about was the resentment from the courtiers.

But today, he understands a lot better, and his life has not been in vain these years!

"Okay, don't say anything anymore, Chen Shou, declare the decree!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

"Every official will kneel down and listen, and everyone will be attracted to you!"

"I'll wait for the order!"

"The Prince of the Yuan Dynasty inherited the Qian Dynasty. He was wise and wise, scrupulous and filial. He was talented in civil and military affairs, and swallowed up mountains and seas. He handed over the sacred weapon, and I said it is appropriate. Today, the clan is not in peace, and the country is in trouble. It is appropriate to enthrone the emperor. I call him The Supreme Emperor. Moreover, the military power of the world should be controlled in all directions. I am based in the Palace of the People. It is difficult to take a seat. The power of the four naval forces shall be dealt with by the emperor first and then reported to me. Go to the important ministers to support him and treat him as if he were mine. I will be attentive. Think quietly and take a rest in the great court."

"Instruct the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day, pray to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and ascend the throne as emperor. I admire this!"

Silence, deathly silence!

Although they had been prepared in their hearts, when this imperial edict appeared in front of everyone, many veterans still couldn't accept it!

"No, Your Majesty, I am willing to serve Your Majesty, and please do so!"

"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"

Many veterans who had followed Li Shimin since the Wude years knelt down and cried bitterly. When the matter reached this point, everyone knew that the matter was irreversible. If His Majesty An Tai, they thought it was the crown prince forcing the palace, so they would not obey the order even if they were shattered to pieces.

But now, His Majesty holds a court meeting in person, solemnly appears in the Taiji Hall, and announces the crown prince's succession in front of all the ministers, and they are helpless! It’s not that they look down on the prince and don’t want to submit to Li Chengqian, but because they are veterans who have followed His Majesty all their lives and they really can’t bear to see this scene!

Li Shimin looked pleased, but now that the matter had come to this, there was no way he would agree!

Looking at the expressionless prince, he sighed in his heart and said: "Why are you all so troubled? The prince is wise and powerful. He has never done anything wrong since he took charge of the country in the 21st year of Zhenguan. It is my blessing that the Tang Dynasty has such a successor. , it is also the blessing of the Tang Dynasty."

"I was assassinated by Xiao Xiao. Although I saved my life, I could only survive on my bed. The prince is my chosen successor to the Tang Dynasty, but the prince is still young and has many ill-considered things. I have to wait and see. Help me along the way!"

"As my father, I am begging you all!"

"Your Majesty, you can't. How incompetent I am? Please take back your words. Otherwise, otherwise, I will have no words to say goodbye to Your Majesty!"

"."

Li Shimin ignored them, but took the prince's hand and personally handed the imperial seal, which symbolized the emperor's position, to Li Chengqian!

"Take it!"

Li Chengqian's eyes were red. At this moment, all the resentment disappeared, and there was only heavy responsibility!

"Prince, please remember that you are inheriting not only a position, but also the responsibility of leading the Tang Dynasty to continue its glory. I am old, and it is time for young people to take over the responsibility!"

Then he slowly turned his head to look at Ji Song, who lowered his head and said nothing.

"Chen Shou, declare the decree!"

"promise!"

"Prince Ji Song of the State of Xi, accept the order!"

"My lord, accept the order!"

"Since ancient times, sages and sages have relied on the support of talented people to govern the country. Those who have made contributions to the country and won the trust of the people are the pillars of the country and the backbone of the nation. From now on, the prince will inherit the destiny, remember the countless times, and control all directions to show his virtue.

This is because Ji Song, the Duke of the State of Xi, has both talent and virtue, and is practical in the world. He has been working hard for our great Tang Dynasty. During his tenure, he worked hard to govern and actively promoted reforms. The country became prosperous and the people's livelihood was prosperous. When I went to the state of Nian, Duke Ji Song treated the prince like me and assisted in the government affairs to bring peace to the world. Now he is named the head of the Wuying Pavilion, the general of the Jinwu Guard, the prince's Taibao, and the military counselor. In addition, his son Ji Run is named the governor of Yizhou and the commander of the Nanhai Navy Fleet. His second son Ji Ze is the chief minister of Mao County. There are five hundred households in the city.

Admire this. "

Ji Song had known about this for a long time, but he was a little surprised by the reward given to their two sons. He looked at Li Shimin and saw Li Shimin nodded with a smile. Ji Song could only accept the order and thank him!

In the end, Li Shimin awarded Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Yuchi Gong, Changsun Wuji and others one by one, which was extremely generous!

"Everyone, I leave the prince to you, please go slowly!"
-

After the emperor left, Li Chengqian took over the affairs of the court and continued the convening, but at this time most people had lost their minds. Ji Song didn't hear clearly what was said, until the sound of retreating came, and he followed everyone out of the hall in confusion!

At this time, it actually snowed in the sky.

The heavy snow fell from the sky and soon covered the ground. The entire palace seemed to be submerged in the snow!

"Very big snow!"

Fang Xuanling came to him at some point and took a piece of snowflake with his hand. Watching the snowflake slowly melting, he felt relieved in his heart. Your Majesty has made a very bad start in the succession to the throne, and it will definitely not be stable in the future.

But now, the prince's filial piety is intact, and due to some strange circumstances, His Majesty has to step down from the throne. Everyone is happy like this!

"Yeah, it's snowing so hard!"

Ji Song also took a snowflake. I heard that every snowflake is different.
