Chapter 749: The city is full of golden armor 1 Changan.
When Kong Sheng killed Shi Chaoyi and won the great victory in Mozhou, the state funeral of Emperor Li Longji had come to an end, and Emperor Li Heng reluctantly led the ministers to mourn and dropped out of the dynasty for five days.
But soon, the emperor fell ill, and at least half of the day was in a coma, and the matter of the court meeting was basically abolished.
Because of Li Longji's sudden death, the joy of the government and the opposition brought by Kong Sheng's Luoyang Guangfu and Guo Ziyi's Bianzhou victory was greatly diluted.
And because the emperor couldn't afford to stay sick, the haze over Chang'an City because of the death of the old emperor was not reduced, but became thicker.
If the death of the old emperor was a trigger, then Li Longji died at an inopportune time, and the emperor was sick at an inappropriate time, and he was very sick, which made the crown prince Li Yu feel that a certain time had come.
The 30,000 forbidden troops in the capital marched eastward under the leadership of Nan Jiyun to respond to the counterinsurgency war of Kong Sheng and Guo Ziyi, the emperor was seriously ill, and the situation in Chang'an City basically fell into the hands of the crown prince Li Yu.
Although among the five powerful ministers relied on by the emperor, Li Mi and Du Hong gradually became loyal to the emperor, Yan Zhenqing was loyal to the dead old emperor, and Zhang Xun was loyal to the emperor, and only Shangshu's right servant Pei Yuanli was truly loyal to Li Yu.
However, under the five powerful ministers, almost all the middle and low-level bureaucrats fell to the East Palace family.
The East Palace also has the East Palace Sixteen Rates, five or six thousand people.
With these five or six thousand elite soldiers in hand, Li Yu felt that the time was ripe for him to take charge of the government.
In fact, Li Yu did not feel that he had any encroachment, the emperor was seriously ill, as the crown prince, he should be in charge of the country, and even, the emperor directly followed the old emperor and ceded the throne to him.
After all, there is a car in front and a rut in the back, and this is not a precedent set by him Li Yu.
Evening.
The atmosphere of the East Palace is slightly more solemn.
Li Yu has never made up his final decision, which makes Li Shi and Pei Yuanli very restless.
In the eyes of the two, if Li Yu kept making decisions and missed such an opportunity, when the emperor eased up, he would forever lose a good opportunity to ascend to the sky.
"Your Highness, if you continue to make judgments, you will suffer from it.
Now the plan, Your Majesty is seriously ill, His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince of a country, should be in charge of the country, stand up and command the world, and take on the heavy responsibility" Pei Yuanli bowed down and said in a condensed voice.
Li Shi also stood up and persuaded: "Father, you can't hesitate, right now, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are anxiously waiting for their father to set the world, and his father is expected by everyone, so why hesitate to look ahead and hesitate."
Li Yu was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "You know what this palace is as a prince, whether you stand up or not, you are the prince of the prison country."
But as long as the palace stands up to preside over the government, if it is not successful, there will be no way out, and if it is not successful, it can only become benevolent."
"There's nothing to worry about on my father's side.
Yesterday, the palace met with his father, and the father also promised to issue an edict to let the palace supervise the country, and even, at the appropriate time, it was okay for Zen to give the throne to the palace.
After all, this Tang Dynasty world has always been handed over to the palace.
Li Yu said lightly.
But Pei Yuanli secretly sneered in his heart, he didn't believe that the emperor would let Li Yu take charge of the country so happily, and even let the throne dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival.
If you don't make a ruthless move, this throne will not be your turn for the crown prince of the East Palace, at least for the time being.
The reason why Pei Yuanli was restless and urged Li Yu to make a move was mainly because he noticed that the emperor had the intention of ordering Kong Sheng and Guo Ziyi to return to Beijing.
Once the emperor ordered Kong Sheng and Guo Ziyi to lead the army back, what chance would Li Yu have The sharpness in Li Yu's eyes became heavier and heavier: "The only person this palace is worried about is Kong Sheng."
Guo Ziyi is loyal to the royal family and the imperial court, and as the prince of this palace, as long as he acts uprightly and brightly, he will not have a bad heart for this palace.
The same goes for Lee Kwang-pil. ” Li Shi's eyes flickered.
He knew that his father Li Yu was telling the truth.
In any case, Li Yu is the crown prince who is justifiable, the emperor is seriously ill, the crown prince is in charge of the country and even ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, as long as things are done so that outsiders can't find a trace of fault, in line with the Tang Dynasty etiquette, Guo Ziyi, these loyal ministers and good generals, will not have a problem, and they will soon transfer their loyalty from the emperor to Li Yu.
But Kong Sheng is an outlier.
Kong Sheng had a close relationship with the emperor, and Kong Sheng also had a bad relationship with the East Palace.
In short, Kong Sheng must be the one who most rejects Li Yu, the crown prince of the East Palace, from ascending the throne as emperor, and because Kong Sheng is high and powerful, his military exploits are famous and famous all over the world, this will obviously be the biggest obstacle for Li Yu on the way to the emperor's throne.
Pei Yuanli pondered for a moment and said softly: "Your Highness, for Kong Sheng, Weichen thinks there are two strategies. ” Only then did Pei Yuanli understand that the reason why Li Yu had been reluctant to move from behind the scenes to the front desk was mainly because he was afraid of Kong Sheng's existence.
If Kong Sheng's problem can't be solved, he can't feel at ease.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "You say, this palace listens." ” "Your Royal Highness, first, in the name of the crown prince of the prison country, His Royal Highness praised and rewarded Kong Sheng for his efforts in recovering Luoyang, in an attempt to ease the relationship with Kong Sheng.
In addition, he ordered Guo Ziyi to lead the army into Hedong to suppress the remnants of the rebellion.
And Li Guangbi guarded the front line of Hexi and guarded Chang'an.
As for Nan Jiyun of the Shence Army, this person is Kong Sheng's former subordinates, and he has to be guarded against, but someone secretly infiltrates the army and announces an edict to replace him."
"If Kong Sheng understands current affairs and is willing to reconcile with His Highness, then, with the courage of Kong Sheng's talent, he will be the greatest help for His Highness to ascend to the world in the future, and he will also be the minister of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Pei Yuanli paused slightly, checking Li Yu's reaction.

Li Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Master Pei, you don't know the depth of the gap between this palace and Kong Sheng, it is already like fire and water, and it is difficult to stand together.
This palace is not a person with a small belly, and it will not be untolerant and elegant, but Kong Sheng regards this palace as an enemy, and your reconciliation strategy will definitely not work. ” Li Yuxin said, this kind of reconciliation strategy is not untried behind the palace, that Kong Sheng's arrogant personality has already regarded the East Palace as a great enemy of life and death, and under the mistake, the palace and the Kong family have come to the opposite side of either you die or I die, which can not be improved by one or two rewards.
Moreover, if the palace rewarded and dispatched troops in the name of the prince of the prison country, it would definitely arouse Kong Sheng's suspicion and suspicion even more.
Pei Yuanli sighed: "In this way, then there is only a tearful slash for His Royal Highness, and those who achieve great things are not informal, since Kong Sheng is the biggest obstacle to His Highness's accession to the throne and emperor, then there is only a way to kill him to get rid of future troubles."
"Weichen thinks that the emperor can give an edict to trick that Kong Shengyu into Beijing, and then kill him" Pei Yuanli said gloomily.
Li Yu suddenly looked up at Pei Yuanli, his eyes were sharp: "Master Pei, do you think that Kong Sheng is so easy to deceive, this person is brave and strategic, and the means are endless, don't say that it is difficult to deceive, even if it is tricked into Beijing, what kind of crime should be imposed on him in this palace, you must know, Kong Sheng has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, moved the world, and killed meritorious ministers, doesn't it make the people of the world cold, you let the palace be criticized by the people of the world before he ascended the throne, what is his intention?"
"Those who are not loyal to His Highness are useless.
Since ancient times, there have been countless heroes who have been killed because of their high merits, and people all over the world naturally know it.
As long as His Royal Highness ascends the throne and reforms the old and the new, and the world is set to be the king, the subjects of the world should be grateful to Dade, how can they be obsessed with the life and death of just one Kong Sheng" Pei Yuanli sneered: "As for the crime, if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse."
"Please think twice, Your Highness," Pei Yuan bowed.
Li Yu's eyes flashed: "Master Pei, you go back first, let the palace consider it first, this matter is very important, and you can't make a decision easily." ” Seeing that Li Yu was still hesitant, Pei Yuanli was obviously a little disappointed.
He sighed helplessly, bowed down, and walked away.
Looking at Pei Yuanli's disappointed back, Li Shi couldn't help but say softly: "Father" Li Yu's eyes cast a trace of murderous aura: "Why, Wu'er, do you also think that this palace is indecisive?"
Li Shi was taken aback: "My son doesn't dare" Li Yu said: "Of course Kong Sheng wants to kill, but the time is not yet ripe.
Fan Yang's rebellion is undecided, and at this moment, he will kill the heroes and famous generals, so that the Li Tang royal family will lose the hearts of the people.
Let's go a little longer.
Even if you want to kill the heroes, it is not the work of a prince in the palace, but the father and the emperor himself."
"Wu'er, you secretly sent someone to Jiangnan to bring your imperial aunt of Ji Guo and the daughter of the Yang family in Jiangnan to the palace, and said that Your Majesty would personally preside over the wedding for them.
The most important thing is to bring back King Li Tong to the palace, you can understand the meaning of the palace."
Li Shi was stunned, and immediately realized: "My son understands, but my son is worried, if the emperor's grandfather is sick and the dragon is healthy, it will not be so convenient for us to do things."
Li Yu laughed wildly: "The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, the palace visits his father every day, his condition is serious, and it is difficult to get better for a while. ” A heavy murderous aura flashed in Li Yu's eyes.
Li Shi saw that he was in a cold sweat, knowing that his father had already advocated it, and had already made all kinds of arrangements to seek power and usurp the throne to replace him, and the reason why he refused Pei Yuanli's persuasion was nothing more than considering that the time was not ripe.
Perhaps, this can be regarded as some kind of confusion between the government and the opposition.
Du Hong gradually went to the house.
Li Mi's expression was gloomy, and he looked at Du Hong and said anxiously: "Du Xiang, now that Your Majesty is seriously ill, the crown prince controls the government and the palace ban, and Your Majesty's safety is tied to the East Palace, how can we be indifferent."
"Li Xiang, you and I are Wenchen, although we are high and powerful, we are actually not worth mentioning.
In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them belonged to the integrated dispatch of the East Palace, and we knew that the prince was plotting against him, but he was helpless.
Du Hong gradually smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, Kong Sheng led the army outside, and his military achievements are outstanding, and if the East Palace wants to do anything, he must have scruples."
In this regard, in the recent period, the East Palace must spare no effort to befriend Kong Sheng, in order to gain Kong Sheng's support."
"You and I can wait and see, we can't do anything else.
What does Master Zhang think?"
Du Hong gradually turned his head to look at Zhang Xun.
Although Zhang Xun came from behind, was entrusted with important responsibilities by the emperor, and also entered the political hall to become one of the ministers of state, after all, his qualifications are shallow and he is not valued.
Zhang Xun's expression was complicated, and he said softly: "The two ministers, in Zhang's opinion, whether it is the emperor or the prince, they are all royal orthodox, and the world belongs to them after all."
Whoever it is is the object of allegiance from you and my courtiers. ” Li Mi and Du Hong gradually fell silent, shook their heads, and said nothing more.
Zhang Xun is not wrong, the emperor is not in good health, the crown prince is in charge of the country, even if he takes the throne, there is nothing to be afraid of, this world belongs to the Li Tang royal family anyway, and it makes no difference who is the emperor.
The only difference is that when Li Yu is in power, these powerful ministers who are valued by the emperor may lose their vested interests and existing authority. oshow7 t1706231537:
