54. I'll go! That's fine too
These days, there was an unusual strangeness in the houses of Shiliu. The imperial edict was issued to change King An of Li Rong as the crown prince. Li Chengmei was still the crown prince. The palace of An, who became the crown prince, was crowded with cars and horses. Li Chengmei, who still became King Chen, was deserted in front of the gate. People were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it. W★w★Wく.

King Ying Li Yan was the first prince to come to Prince An’s mansion to congratulate him. They lived in the opposite door, and the two families had always been very close. King Ying congratulated King An and made him the crown prince, and tactfully advised him to show a low-key look. He said, "The emperor's journey is not far away. The more this time, the more he should be calm. I am convinced that you are the crown prince, but some people will not think so. Those people are helpless in governing the country and being able to do so, but they are all good at it."
Li Rong, who became the crown prince, also showed the emperor's ruling. He stood up and bowed to Li Yan, "Thank you for your reminder, brother Wu, we will keep our doors and thank the guests these days, so as not to give people a verbal speech."
Li Yan said: "It would be fine if you just chew on your tongue, but you're afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Rong understood. He bowed again and said, "I have received the good intentions, brothers will appreciate them."
After seeing off Li Yan, Li Rong immediately summoned the lieutenant general to order the four doors to blockade, and closed the door to thank the guests. He also opened a list to the general manager and explained: "These people can attract me at any time."
The name of Yang Sifu was found on the list of Li Rong. Within three days after he was appointed crown prince, Yang Sifu came three times. The first time was to wear an official uniform and enter the main gate in an official sedan chair, and he was so arrogant. Li Rong personally welcomed the door. The visit was very short this time, and Yang Sifu had just spent a cup of tea in Prince An's mansion and said goodbye, which seemed to be a purely courteous visit.
The second time, Yang Sifu was wearing plain clothes and only brought a servant into the An Palace through the side door. This time, he stayed for nearly an hour. The third time, he was dressed as a coachman delivering food and stayed in it all night.
Yang Sifu thought he was doing things in a confidential manner, but he didn't expect that his every move was actually under Qiu Shiliang's gaze. He was also watching King Ying Li Yan, who lived opposite Prince An's mansion.
These days, King Ying Li Yan, looked no different from usual. He either invited guests in the mansion or served as a guest to a banquet in another mansion. The car and entourage were no different from the past. If he had to say that it was different, it was that no matter whether he went out or was in the mansion to entertain guests, the singer Wang Fuer, who was brought back from Handan, was always around him.
Wang Fu'er was both beautiful and understanding, and it was not uncommon to be favored. However, the spy from the judging hall, who was so careful, still reported this to Wu Chen. Wu Chen did not take it lightly. When reporting the movements of the kings of the Sixteen Houses to Qiu Shiliang, he focused on bringing this out.
Qiu Shiliang said disapprovingly: "Ah, I think he is trying to avoid suspicion. He pretends to be addicted to alcohol and sex, eliminate Li Rong's vigilance, and pass the test safely."
Wu Chen said: "This woman's identity is very suspicious. We have worked so hard to find out her background. It can be seen that it is not simple. Kuang Mei, I dare to bet you that this person is probably related to the Spurs Camp."
Qiu Shiliang smiled and said, "Yuliang, you are really aware of your thoughts and can't hide anything from you."
Wu Chen said: "Is there really something strange about it?"
Qiu Shiliang nodded silently. Without waiting for him to speak, several personal servants automatically retreated. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the agreement I reached with them is to protect King Ying Li Yan as the emperor."
Wu Chen was stunned for a moment and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It was not only Wu Chen, but Yu Hongzhi also realized at the last moment that the new king Qiu Shiliang was really going to support was King Ying Li Yan. At that time, Li Ang had already driven Bintian and lived for 33 years. Half of the sky of the Tang Empire collapsed overnight, and the entire Daming Palace was in chaos.
When the dynasty changes, it is a turbulent autumn. At this time, any movement is enough to shock the world. Hearing this, Yu Hongzhi was anxious. He clapped his hands and jumped and said, "Kuangmei, you have put me in. This edict for the establishment of the crown prince was written by me and has been issued to the world. You just want to sing out the bed to entrust the orphans... It's too late. Emperor Bintian has already announced the world. Who else can you hide from? There is no immortal elixir in the world that can bring people back to life. Oh, if there is really, it's trouble. The emperor has not ascended to heaven and is still in a hurry to establish a bad crown prince."
Qiu Shiliang smiled and said, "Don't panic. Listen to me, the edict has been issued throughout the world, and the last edict has not been left to the end."
"The will?" Yu Hongzhi's eyes lit up, "Yes, the will of Emperor Daxing is still with me. Oh, no, this time, Liu Hongyi is out of the way, and he will be willing to take on this job. Let's be more generous and give him the merit of the Dragon."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Li Ang died on the 16th day of the first lunar month. The emperor died, and the earth and the mountains collapsed. If the country had no king, the world would be unstable. Therefore, as soon as the emperor passed away, Yang Sifu and other court officials proposed to immediately accept King An Li Rong into the palace to ascend the throne. Privy Councilor Liu Hongyi, Lieutenant of the Shence Army Qiu Shiliang, and Yu Hongzhi agreed. So he agreed to remove 500 people from the left and right troops, and warned along the way, and sent the eunuch, Provincial Minister Ma Yuanzhi to the Sixteen House to welcome the new emperor. The army quarreled and clamored to the Sixteen House, and Ma Yuanzhi rushed to the An Palace.
Xi Shirong, the judge of the Shence Army, grabbed him and asked, "Where is my father-in-law?"
Ma Yuanzhi said: "Check the new emperor."
Xi Shirong pointed to the opposite side of Prince An's mansion and said, "Where is the new emperor?"
Ma Yuanzhi smiled and said, "You, I don't know a big word. I'll ask you which one is the An Prince's Mansion and which one is the Ying Prince's Mansion?"
Xi Shirong asked: "I asked my father-in-law, who is the new emperor we want to pick up?"
Ma Yuanzhi thrust his waist and said, "You still need to ask, of course it's Your Highness Li Rong, the King of An."
Xi Shirong said: "You must have heard it wrong. Before I came, Qiu Gong clearly told me that he wanted to take King Ying Li Yan into the palace to ascend the throne. Why do you say it is King An?"
Ma Yuanzhi was also confused. Although he believed that he would not remember the edict incorrectly, the things in the palace were so difficult to understand. He had been in the palace for decades and still did not understand this truth. He stopped arguing and said to Xi Shirong: "Why don't you do this? Let's send someone back to the palace and ask Mr. Qiu again. If you go quickly, it will only take a cup of tea to go back and forth. It will be impossible to delay the matter."
Seeing that Xi Shirong was a little reluctant, he scared him and said, "We have lived in the palace for half of our life. We know that the palace has many mysteries and murderous intents everywhere. If you are not careful, it will be a matter of losing your head. We have to do it, but you can see."
Xi Shirong waved to a small school and asked him to return to the palace to report.
The riot at the door had already alarmed King An Li Rong. Li Rong was impatiently dressed neatly and was about to open the door to greet him. The chief minister and his subordinates replied: "Your Highness goes out like this, which is not in line with the etiquette. Everyone is here. Are you still anxious at this moment?" Seeing his excited face again, he advised: "Emperor Bintian, a minister who is a minister, crys bitterly and cannot rise up. At least he should not show excitement on his face. If you act like this, if someone sees it, you will inevitably leave a terrified reputation for eternity."
Li Rong was anxious when he was clamored, and was not convenient to scold him. He waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, I'll just restrain myself." He looked back at the door and cursed in his heart: "Which bastard is doing this? Why are you going to be delayed when you get to the door? When I ascend to the base, I will be the first to withdraw you."
Ma Yuanzhi and Xi Shirong waited for a cup of tea in the snow, and saw a little eunuch riding a horse, shouting while running: "Come on the big one, catch the big one."
Ma Yuanzhi was stunned: "What's the big deal?"
Just at this moment, the door of the Ying Prince's Mansion suddenly opened, and a graceful beauty walked out and said, "Duke Qiu asked you to pick up your highness into the palace and be the emperor. Why don't you come in when you arrive at the door?"
Xi Shirong shouted, "Who is that woman? Mr. Qiu said he wanted to accept the eldest, but he did not say he wanted to accept His Highness Ying."
The woman giggled and said, "If you say it's big, who is as tall as my highness? Even the emperor of the Great Travel praises him as the jade pillar of the sky." As he was speaking, the group surrounded King Ying Li Yan and went out, the soldiers saw that they were indeed tall.
Xi Shirong then smiled and said, "This is the way the lord looks." He walked forward with a knife and knelt down and asked Li Yan to enter the palace immediately.
Ma Yuanzhi felt that the situation was a little wrong, but in desperation, he couldn't tell what went wrong. In this moment of stunned silence, Xi Shirong had already supported Li Yan and went to Shaoyang Temple in Daming Palace.
In front of Sixian Hall of the Daming Palace, all the officials above the fifth rank of the dynasty arrived. They saw a group of soldiers coming from afar. They couldn't see their faces clearly when they were dark. They just thought that he was tall, not Li Rong's short body.
Yang Sifu was anxious and took the opportunity to get out of the palace in a few steps. Seeing that it was not King An Li Rong who was sitting immediately but Li Yan, he was stunned and stood in the wind and snow, unable to speak.
Xi Shirong shouted, "Why don't you worship me when you meet the new king?"
Yang Sifu then lay down, and suddenly felt something was wrong again, and got up and said, "No, this, didn't the edict say that King An Li Rong inherited the throne?...Qiu Shiliang, you deceive the world and you deceive the emperor."
Qiu Shiliang said: "Prime Minister, don't be polite. The person sent to welcome the new king is Ma Yuanzhi, but I am not me Qiu Shiliang." Li Yu shouted: "But these soldiers are yours. Do you dare say you are not making trouble?"
Qiu Shiliang said: "Xi Shirong is just a junior college student from the seventh rank. His duty is to protect the new king. Ma Yuanzhi is the fifth rank and the righteous envoy. Who should be punished if he takes the wrong person?" Li Yu was still arguing, but suddenly saw Liu Hongyi winked at him and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a will. King Ying Li Yan inherited the throne."
After saying that, he presented a will to the court officials, Li Yu was the first to take the lead and shouted: "I respectfully invite the new king to ascend the throne." As he took the lead, at least half of the court officials began to worship Li Yan. When Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi also bowed, only a few Yang party left among the court officials did not bow down.
Yang Sifu was extremely angry and laughed, pointing at the ministers in the court and cursed: "You are not as good as a pig or a dog when you are eating your own fortune. You are just trying to support your power and eunuchs. Hahaha, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have let you down, and I will be blamed for my death."
Li Yu said: "Yang Sifu openly despises the king and slanders the court. He asked His decree to be dismissed from office and investigate."
Everyone agreed, Li Yan was stunned for a while, and said, "I just ascended the throne today, and I will kill the ministers of the late emperor. Where should I place me? But this Yang Sifu is really hateful. So, the Jinwu Guard sent him home and asked him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. If he doesn't want to repent and kill him again, I will never forgive him."
After hearing this, Yang Sifu smiled sadly, took off his gauze hat and placed it on the ground, and walked down the palace alone.
