Chapter 8: The Shangyuan Coup (Part II)


Late at night, when the news of the emperor's assassination came out in the palace, all the important ministers of the court rushed to the palace, and the palace and Xingqing Mansion at this time had completely fallen into the hands of the minister of state.

In Li Yuanhao's bedroom, Li Yuanhao only had one breath left at this time, and the imperial medical ginseng hung Li Yuanhao's breath, just waiting for the ministers of the court to come and announce the edict; Under the arrangement of not hiding the false Pang, all the ministers came to Li Yuanhao's dragon couch.

Li Yuanhao looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground and said: "I know that the limit is coming, and my life can be regarded as infinite glory, the reason why I can't close my eyes is because I can't let go of the century-old foundation of my Great Xia Kingdom; I have Liao in the north and the Great Song in the south, and the national strength of these two countries is several times higher than that of my Great Xia, if you want to prevent the two countries from attacking, you can only choose a virtuous monarch, and now the prince is rebelling, and Xiaoer Liangzuo is not yet one year old, and he cannot inherit the unification; Therefore, I decided to pass the throne to my younger brother Wei Ge Ningling, and the minister immediately sent someone to Xiping Mansion to announce the decree, and all Aiqing must work together to assist the new emperor in the future. ” "The ministers respectfully obey Your Majesty's holy orders, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The ministers wept bitterly and took the holy decree.

That night, Li Yuanhao died of excessive blood loss, and after Li Liangzuo died, he did not immediately send someone to Xiping Mansion to summon Ge Ningling to return to the court, but took the opportunity to seize the power of soldiers and horses in several cities around Xingqing Mansion.

The next day, the court meeting did not hide the edict of the civil and military officials to Li Yuanhao, and the emperor did not plan to follow it from the beginning, so the content of the court meeting was also to attach Li Liangzuo to the throne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Your Majesty is newly mourned, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and a new monarch should be established as soon as possible according to the meaning of the original appearance, so as to appease the hearts of the people in the world." didn't hide it, Pang said sanctimoniously.

Minister Nuo Yishu immediately objected and said: "Lord Xiangguo's words are different, Your Majesty's deathbed decree will pass the throne to Wei Ge Ning's order, and we should follow Your Majesty's last order to welcome Wei Ge Ning's order to inherit the unification." ” He said to the ministers: "Wei Ge Ning Ling is not the son of His Majesty, and he has no merits, so why should he inherit the throne." ” When Nuo Yisheng heard this, he immediately asked: "Now that there is no owner in the country, who do you plan to support, or do you want to seek power and usurp the throne, even if you can keep my Western Xia land, can you still make the people of the world submit?"

When he heard that Nuo Yixian had deducted himself from the charge of seeking power and usurping the throne, he hurriedly defended himself: "How dare I do this, it's just that since Taizu, my dynasty has always been succeeded by father and son, and never brother to brother, and it is precisely because of this that the people of my Great Xia Kingdom can surrender; Now the imperial concubine has not given birth to the prince of the Tibetan family, she is the heir of the first emperor, and the first emperor's concubine is the main one, who of you is not convinced" When the ministers heard the words of the unconcealed Pang, they immediately whispered: "Lord Xiangguo is reasonable."

"Lord Xiangguo is right, although the prince is young, he has always been the blood of the first emperor."

"That's it, since the prince is the prince, he should naturally make the prince the emperor."

"I don't know what the lords think of the Prime Minister's proposal," asked the ministers again.

"We have no objection, and we are willing to welcome the prince as the emperor."

The ministers said in unison.

He smiled and said to the ministers: "In that case, all the adults will go to the harem with the prime minister to meet the new emperor."

Surrounded by the ministers, Li Liangzuo, who was only eleven months old, ascended the throne in the arms of the Empress Dowager, and Heiyun was respected as the Empress Dowager Xuanmu Huiwen, because Li Liangzuo was young, and was regent by the Empress Dowager.

Wuzang Heiyun then ordered the appointment of Wuzang Pang to continue to serve as the minister of state, and Nuo Yixian was the general of the right wing, and the two were in charge of the military and political power; Although Li Liangzuo inherited the throne, because the Western Xia was still subservient to the Liao State and the Song Dynasty at this time, the new monarch must be canonized by the Liao State and the Song Dynasty to succeed to the throne.

In the dormitory of the Xixia Palace, where there were no black clouds, after the court meeting was dispersed, the black clouds put Li Liangzuo on the bed and then said to the unhidden Pang Pang: "Big brother, although Zuo'er has now ascended the throne as the emperor, but the border generals and some ministers in the court are bound to have people who are not convinced, we should stabilize the court situation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous to us."

"Please rest assured that the Queen Mother will do everything in his power to be loyal to the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."

Didn't hide it, Pang immediately knelt on the ground and said.

Under the instruction of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager began to rectify the entire court, and in just one month, the entire court was completely in his own hands, and the Wuzang family became the most powerful family in Western Xia.

In this case, Nuo Yisheng returned to the right chamber in the name of guarding the border passes, although he held the power of the court, but there were still many generals in the border passes of Western Xia who did not obey the orders of the imperial court, and the Western Xia country was in danger of splitting.

In the palace of Xiping Mansion Wei Ge Ning Ling, Nuo Yisheng did not immediately go north to return to the Right Chamber, Chaoshun Military Division, but first went south to Xiping Mansion to meet Wei Ge Ning Ling, Wei Ge Ning Ling is Li Yuanhao's heir to the throne, at this time Nuo Yi Xiang came to see him The meaning is obvious, that is, to support the legislator Ge Ning Ling as the emperor.

"Wechen meets the king."

Nuo Yisheng immediately saluted after seeing Wei Ge Ningling.

Wei Ge Ning Ling hurriedly helped Nuo Yisheng up and said: "General, please get up quickly, how dare this king be such a great gift as a general."

"The king is the emperor's younger brother, how can he not be a great gift to the last general."

Nuo Yixiang said bluntly.

"The general's words are wrong, now that the new emperor has set up a general, don't make such a joke."

Wei Ge Ning Ling said with a smile to Nuo Yixiang.

Nuo Yisheng immediately said: "Great King, the last general came this time for the sake of my Great Xia Kingdom, although the new emperor has been established now, but everyone knows that the little emperor has just turned one year old, and now the great power of the imperial court has fallen into the hands of Wu Zang Pang; I didn't hide it, this person, the wolf's ambition went on like this, and when he was full-fledged, he would definitely kill the king and usurp the throne."

Wei Ge Ning Ling said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, although His Majesty is young now, but maybe in the future, he will be a generation of male lords like the first emperor, as long as he is assisted by our ministers, he will definitely be able to strengthen my Great Xia Kingdom one day." ” Nuo Yixian still said unwillingly: "As long as the king agrees to inherit the throne, the ministers will do their best to support it, and there are more than 100,000 Xiangqing troops in the hands of the right wing Chaoshun Military Division plus the king, and it is more than enough to take Xingqing Mansion." ” Wei Ge Ning Ling heard this and said very angrily: "Doesn't the general still understand the meaning of this king at this time, has the general thought about it, once there is a civil strife in my Great Xia Kingdom, the Liao State in the north and the Great Song Dynasty in the South will definitely raise troops to invade the border, this is the autumn of critical survival, is the general willing to let this king bear this infamy through the ages?"

Hearing Wei Ge Ningling's words, Nuo Yisheng hurriedly said: "King Gaoyi, the last general is confused, but are you watching the court fall into the hands of traitors?"

"The general doesn't have to worry, although Pang has mastered the government, as long as we lead the troops outside, he won't dare to do anything to us," Wei Ge Ningling said with a smile
