The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 428 The Small Court of the Royal Palace

Li Yu happily came to the hall of the palace and saw Di Renjie sitting upright. He went up to greet him and said: "My dear and loyal minister Zhu Guo, hurry up! Please come inside!"

Di Renjie paid a grand ceremony and met the prison prince, and was invited by Li Yu to sit down in the inner room.

There is a maid who is eager to get the best Tieguanyin.

"I do not understand the general situation, I am disloyal to the prince, I do not understand the general trend of the world and move against the tide. I, Di Renjie, will die. Please punish me!"

Li Yu helped Di Renjie up and said warmly: "What crime is there! Even if there was some mistake before, it was a misunderstanding!"

"You will surrender to me now, and we will be a family from now on. You must not be seen outside!"

Li Yu spoke warmly and looked enthusiastic.

Di Renjie responded repeatedly and sat back on the chair following Li Yu's feelings.

"Di Aiqing was highly relied upon by the late emperor, and everyone in the court praised Aiqing's talent. Today, with Aiqing defecting to her, there is no need to worry about failure to achieve great things!"

"Your Majesty, you've given me the award!"

"Di Aiqing! Yuan Tiangang came to report the day before yesterday, saying that the seven stars are connected and the throne has moved west. This star seems to mean that there will be a change of throne in the court. What does Di Aiqing think?"

Di Renjie understood that Li Yu was trying his best to test his loyalty. If not, no one would leave the palace after entering the palace.

Then you can only follow his wishes!

"Your Majesty, the stars are God's will. If God's will changes the court, then the Prince should comply with God's will. Otherwise, he will act against Heaven and harm himself!"

Li Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. Di Renjie really knew the current affairs and knew to follow his lead.

In this case, let's just say it directly. No one will understand without saying it, so Li Yu said directly: "If the father is gone, how sure are you that I will ascend the throne?"

"His Majesty has great prestige in the court today, but His Majesty's biggest mistake was to launch a new policy, which caused objections to His Majesty both in the court and in the opposition! Now that His Majesty is gone and the prince stands out, the world will naturally be united, and everyone hopes that the prince will ascend the throne!"

"I heard that all states and governments, prominent families, businessmen, and even hundreds of families and schools are supporting the prince. They have money and strength to support the prince. It can be seen that the people of the world are on the side of the prince. The people's heart is the general trend of the world. , I advocate that the prince will ascend the throne soon and command the world!"

Li Yu looked excited, obviously very excited, thinking that Di Renjie was indeed a talented person. With this realization, he also knew a lot about who around him had this ability.

"Then what do you think my king should do as the first step?"

"The country cannot live without an emperor for a day. I would like to invite the prince to enter the palace now to meet with the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to preside over the enthronement ceremony!"

"Second! The important ministers in the court, such as Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Li Ji and others, are loyal ministers of His Majesty the late Emperor. Although they have not come forward to speak now, it is because they think that the prince cannot succeed, and they just look on with cold eyes. It’s just fun!”

Li Yu said angrily: "None of these old guys are good!"

Di Renjie added: "I heard that the prince is in trouble and someone is helping me. I don't know who this person is. This person's talent is not inferior to that of me. I recommend him to take charge of the Jinyi Guards!"

Di Renjie's words sounded forced, but Li Yu liked it because Di Renjie wanted to let go of Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei was the yamen that Li Yu had always wanted.

Although the Jin Yiwei was in charge of Yue Fei and detained Yue Fei, he could not get involved without Yue Fei.

Li Yu has been troubled by this matter.

Now I heard that Di Renjie voluntarily gave up, which was exactly what he wanted. With his help, he was afraid that Jin Yiwei would not listen to him. But Di Renjie said that those people should be appointed as commanders of the Jinyiwei, but Li Yu was not willing to do so. Could it be that there were no talented people around him.

"Di Aiqing's loyalty to the king shines like the sun and the moon! I will send someone to the Imperial Guard tomorrow to replace you! You can be the young master of the palace first!"

The position of the Prince's Young Master is only in charge of the affairs of the Prince's Palace and has no official status in the imperial court. Most of these officials are close associates. It seems that Li Yu values ​​Di Renjie very highly.

In fact, in this position, Di Ren was already demoted a lot in the court.

Di Renjie nodded and thanked him.

In order for the handover of Jin Yiwei to go smoothly, the two decided to send a team of royal guards to follow Di Renjie to Jin Yiwei. If Ran Min did not surrender, they would arrest him on the spot.

Then to deal with the handover of official affairs, Li Yu had not decided which of his confidants would pick up Jin Yiwei. Everything had to wait until tomorrow to decide. Even so, it was surprisingly fast.

After sending Di Renjie out of the palace, Li Yu summoned his cronies and ministers of his own party, even some who had a wait-and-see attitude but would not cause trouble, and some who could do anything. Anyway, these people had no objection to anyone becoming the emperor in the face of their wealth and life. Anyway, they are the emperor of his Li family and some famous figures who support him.

Most of these officials were forcefully arranged by Li Yu after he took charge of the country.

Naturally, some department chiefs were not convinced by themselves, so they were removed and replaced by their own people.

It took two hours for these people to gather in the palace one after another, like another court.

Li Yu sat in the middle and said: "My father was on a winter hunt and was assassinated in the palace. The whole country was grieved, but the country cannot be without a master for a day. All the ministers in the imperial court tried hard to support my king to take charge of the country, but I have no virtue and incompetence and dare not take the throne." Your Majesty! Today I will discuss with all the ministers and elect my brother Li Rui as the emperor. What do you think?"

"If you have no objection, send someone to bring the prince back to the court, and he will be crowned soon!"

After Wang Daojing was killed by Ran Min, Li Yu appointed another confidant named Jia Heng to take charge of the Imperial Army.

Jia Heng said loudly: "Brothers of the Forbidden Army are working hard to maintain stability in Chang'an. What are the brothers doing for? If the prince is allowed to ascend the throne, I, the Forbidden Army, will be the first to refuse!"

Li Yu pretended to shout: "The important matters of the imperial court are not decided by the imperial army. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be severely punished and leave!"

Jia Heng was originally a Qianniu Guard in the Forbidden Army. He was able to join the Forbidden Army because he was from Li Yu's lineage. When he joined the Forbidden Army, he was only loyal to Li Yu. He was considered a good player according to flattery. In addition, he was a bit talented. There were no big talents around Li Yu. , he became the leader of the Forbidden Army.

Now he is working even harder. If Li Yu is promoted to sit on the dragon throne, his rise to fame will be just around the corner.

Seeing Li Yu's retort, Jia Heng said loudly: "Other matters can be discussed, but this matter cannot be discussed. The prince is highly virtuous and talented, and it is difficult for the world to replace him!"

Yuan Tiangang said: "What Mr. Jia said is absolutely true. Heaven will adapt to the situation. I hope the prince will not refuse!"

Except for some who were silent and watching the excitement, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Hubu, Yuanwailang, and the Fifth Supervisor of the Six Provinces all echoed: "I also feel that the prince's words are exaggerated. Although the prince is highly regarded by the late emperor, but during the New Year, I am young, and I have been respected by all generations. I hope that the prince will not refuse!"

After a while of persuasion from the ministers, Li Yu became silent!

Deng Zhilong said loudly: "This matter is settled! I will invite the new emperor to ascend the throne!"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac!"

Other officials remained silent. Hua Tianji, the commander of the palace guards beside Li Yu, glanced coldly and said in a deep voice: "The new emperor has ascended the throne! Do some people no longer want to be ministers of the Tang Dynasty!"
