Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 291 Returning to Beijing
After Changsun Wuji appeased Li Zhi, he said to Li Chengqian: "Prince! Now that His Majesty has passed away, I beg the prince to take care of all the affairs so that the court can be at peace."

"What uncle said is very true, but I am very sad now, how can I have the mood to deal with important affairs of the government." Li Chengqian said crying.

He just wanted to see what Changsun Wuji and the others would do when he said that, it was related to how they would be treated in the future.

Crying hell, now that your father just died, it's a great time to take over, and there are still many important military affairs waiting for you to make up your mind.

Changsun Wuji really wanted to do this, but with his status, he couldn't say it directly, he could only say so.

"Your Majesty passed away, and my ministers are also heartbroken, but the country cannot be without a master for a day. The former emperor handed over the ancestral temple and the shrine to His Majesty. How can we follow the example of ordinary people who only know how to cry?"

"Your Highness should put state affairs first now. The late emperor can only rest in peace under the nine springs. Please cheer up Your Highness to continue the great rule."

"Yes! Your Highness! Now that the late emperor has passed away, the government and the people are bound to shake up, and the whole country mourns together. Some people with ulterior motives are bound to take the opportunity to cause chaos. Your Highness should be crowned the Great Treasure at this time to stabilize the domestic situation." Chu Suiliang also persuaded from the side.

"You two are quite right. For the great Tang, I will live up to my father's entrustment. What should we do now?" Li Chengqian asked.

He didn't have any experience in ascending the throne. Among these people, only Changsun Wuji had witnessed the first emperor's ascension to the throne, and he was familiar with the etiquette.

"Just in case, before His Highness returns to Chang'an, the death of the late emperor must not be revealed, and we will keep the funeral a secret."

"After His Highness returns to Chang'an, he will send a funeral to the world in the Tai Chi Hall and announce the late emperor's edict. His Highness will be the emperor," Changsun Wuji said.

He did this because he was worried that someone with ulterior motives would be detrimental to Li Chengqian and the situation would be out of control. Only by returning to Chang'an could he control the situation better without worrying about any troubles.

"Okay! Listen to my uncle, and immediately block all news here." Li Chengqian said, and immediately recruited Li Anyan.

"See Your Highness!" Li Anyan saluted.

"You know about His Majesty's death now, but before I return to Chang'an, where I am the emperor, you must not leak any news here. Do you know what to do?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand what to do, and I promise that no news will leak out, even a mosquito will never get out of here." Li Anyan said.

"I'll leave this matter to you!" Li Chengqian said.

"Resign!" Li Anyan saluted and retreated.

Soon Cuiwei Palace began to enter into full martial law, and people who didn't know anything were discussing what happened and called for full martial law.

"Then what should we do now? Shall I return to Chang'an immediately?" Li Chengqian asked.

"That's right! Your Highness should set off for Chang'an immediately, the sooner the better, the late emperor's car will follow His Highness and return to Chang'an."

"Before the late emperor's car returns to Chang'an, I will definitely not let anyone know about the late emperor's death." Changsun Wuji said.

Right now, Li Chengqian's safe return to Chang'an is the most important thing, other things are not so important.

Li Chengqian didn't say much nonsense, and directly took people away. In order not to attract the attention of others, Li Chengqian left Cuiwei Palace as usual.

In order to prevent someone with a heart from discovering the clues, Li Chengqian's car did not rush, and the flying cavalry, elite infantry, and old generals also returned to Chang'an.

In Cuiwei Palace, Changsun Wuji and others were changing Li Er's body into a shroud, restraining his make-up, and then carrying him on a dragon chariot before returning to Chang'an.

"Has Your Highness left Cuiwei Palace yet?" Changsun Wuji called a servant and asked, after Li Chengqian left, everything here will be presided over by him.

"Back to Situ, His Highness has just boarded the chariot, flying cavalry, elite infantry and some generals escorted His Highness to leave Cuiwei Palace." The servant said.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand to let the servants back down, he urged others to take care of Li Er's body, and caught up with Li Chengqian's car.

The emperor's car cannot be with the prince!The car is too far away.

"Situ, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu are still being detained at their residence, what should we do now?"

"How should these two people be dealt with?" Chu Suiliang asked.

"Is there any evidence to prove that these two people intend to coup this time?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"No, they didn't show up from the beginning to the end. It was other generals who attacked Li Anyan this time, and they had nothing to do with them on the surface." Chu Suiliang said.

If there were, these two restless masters would have been slaughtered long ago, so he wouldn't have to ask Changsun Wuji what to do now.

"The first emperor just passed away, so it's not easy to cause troubles, so he brought them back to Chang'an, and the new emperor will decide when the time comes." Changsun Wuji said.

Fang Yiai was the late emperor's son-in-law, and the second son of his late colleague Fang Xuanling, if Fang Yiai was killed in such a ignorant manner, I would feel sorry for Xuanling.

As for Chai Lingwu, he had a special status, so he had no choice but to deal with it in a vague way. Chai Lingwu was the son of the late Princess Pingyang Zhao, and the nephew and son-in-law of the late emperor.

After thinking about it again and again, no matter what the consideration was, Changsun Wuji planned to bring Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu with him first, and return to Chang'an together.

Even if Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu were to be attacked, the new emperor should execute them, kill them as an example, and use their heads to show the new emperor his prestige.

"Understood!" Chu Suiliang said.

After Li Er's body was tidied up, he was carried onto the dragon chariot. Then Changsun Wuji and others escorted the dragon chariot to chase the Prince's chariot and return to Chang'an.

Two days later, Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an, and soon after, Changsun Wuji and others also returned to Chang'an.

After returning to Chang'an, he immediately processed Li Er's body again, put it in a coffin, put it in the coffin, and transported it to the Hall of Liangyi for parking.

The Liangyi Hall was quickly arranged as a mourning hall.

"Your Highness! Immediately send someone to recruit Yu Zhining, the left concubine, Zhang Xingcheng, the Shao Zhan official, the inspector of the Ministry of Punishment, Gao Jifu, the right concubine, and the servant of the official department." Looking at the Liangyi Hall, which was arranged as a mourning hall , Changsun Wuji said to Li Chengqian.

Before Li Er passed away, he made certain arrangements for Zhi Ning, Zhang Xingcheng, and Gao Jifu. The purpose of letting them enter the palace was to help Li Chengqian deal with some matters together.

"En!" Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan beside him, "Send someone to invite Yu Zhining, Zhang Xingcheng, and Gao Jifu into the palace."

"No! I will do it now, servant girl!" Wang Quan bowed and retreated, and sent three eunuchs to invite the three court ministers to the palace.
