Chapter 1270 Entrusting the lonely dragon to control the sky
It was a little brighter.
A team of Qianniu Guards came outside Qin Lang's garden.
They came to escort Qin Lang to attend the court meeting. Yesterday, Baima Xuan Prime Minister, Qin Lang is now the three departments of Kaifu Yitong, Tongpingzhang, the political affairs of the Taifu, the Grand Tutor of Zhennan, the chief minister of the Central Secretariat, the two subordinates of the Central Secretariat, and the two left behind in the Longquan Palace.
As the prime minister of the new team of the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, Qin Lang certainly could not be so relaxed and leisurely.
He changed into a purple-robed jade belt, a nine-ring jade belt was wrapped in a goldfish bag and put it in a goldfish talisman. Qin Lang went out to work.
At the door, there is a huge situation.
Not only were eighteen Qianniu guards ordered to come to the personal guards, but also thirty-six Yulinlang bodyguards, and 120 Jinwu guards guards opened the way.
"There is no need to be like this, right?"
The sixth-rank Qianniu's pre-bodied body was named Li Yuanfang, and he explained respectfully, "The saint's decree will comprehensively strengthen the vigilance from now on. All prime ministers are equipped with escorts in this way. Please don't care."
Special period, special control.
Qin Lang immediately understood this meaning. I guess Li Shimin might really be in trouble. He is preparing for handing over the shift.
Under the escort of more than 100 elite imperial guards, Qin Lang was also invited to the palace city in a carriage.
There are three same carriages, which are connected to each other, and the appearance is almost the same. Qin Lang found in the carriages that are specially made with iron plates inside. When necessary, the carriage is like an iron coffin, and there is no need to be afraid of Eight Cow Crossbows.
This level of alert has already tasted the highest level, so Qin Lang wondered if Chengqian went to see Li Shimin yesterday and did something stupid, which led to Li Shimin locking up Chengqian and changing the deposit today.
The Emperor's Longquan Palace is actually not far from Qin Lang and his villa area. The Longquan Palace is the type that is not particularly large in the palace, far less than the Jiucheng Palace and Cuiwei Palace, but it is also a sparrow that has all the internal organs.
The Longquan Palace not only has a palace wall, but also has two introspective yamen in the palace, and the Political Affairs Hall is also located in the introspective jail of the Central Secretariat.
When entering the palace, after repeated inspections, Qin Lang's face could not be directly entered.
When he entered the hall of the Political Affairs Hall in the inner-school of the Secretariat, he found that all the prime ministers had arrived, and only Li Ji had led his troops into Liaodong now.
In addition to him, there are eight new prime ministers with a total of ten people.
Qin Lang came the last one.
Changsun Wuji stood up first and went forward to greet him, and the other prime ministers also stood up to greet him.
"Sanlang finally returned to the court and hid in the south for several years!"
Qin Lang looked at Changsun Wuji, who was obviously seriously dark circles, and then looked at his good expression. He felt relieved. It seemed that nothing happened to Chengqian yesterday.
Cui Dunli did not show off his uncle's airs when facing Qin Lang. Although he was promoted to Zuo Pushe, he was very polite to Qin Lang. The Secretariat Ling Xu Jingzong was even more enthusiastic.
"Old Xu, we are going to work with the yamen again."
Xu Jingzong held Qin Lang's hand, "Duke Wei returned to the court and knew that the two subordinates of the Secretary of the Central Committee should be careful of their affairs. From now on, we will have a backbone."
Zhang Xingcheng, Du Zhenglun and Gao Ji assisted the four former Eastern Palace officials in Zhining. They are now all prime ministers. They worked together in the Eastern Palace more than 20 years ago, so they are all old acquaintances.
As the cold was chirping, Li Baiyao, a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, came.
However, he personally came to pass the imperial edict, saying that the saint's condition suddenly worsened, and he vomited from top to bottom, which was very critical. Now before the prince served the saint, the saint had just woken up, so he came to tell the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to go.
Everyone hurried to meet the monk.
The Secretary of the Inner Reflection Political Affairs Hall is very close to the emperor's bedroom. After all, this is an open palace. After turning two doors, you will arrive.
When I entered the hall, I found that the emperor's face was pale and full of whiteness.
When Changsun Wuji saw his brother-in-law like this, he couldn't help crying.
The emperor called him over and reached out to stroke his cheek, "I cried so much!"
"I suddenly remembered that I first met the saint in Chang'an. At that time, the teenager was so energetic that he was like yesterday..."
"Hahaha, yes, when I first met you, I even had a fight. Hou Junji rode on your head and beat you up, Xu Luoren pulled your legs......"
As he said that, the emperor coughed continuously.
The prince helped to caress his back.
It took a while before the emperor stopped crying, but the handkerchief was covered with red blood.
Several ministers were all looking at the blood and crying.
Li Shimin smiled, "I'm leaving."
He gasped for a while, then called Qin Lang over, holding Changsun Wuji with one hand and holding Qin Lang with the other, "Take advantage of my good spirits today, I will put all my affairs in front of everyone."
Say something, cough a few times.
Intermittent.
"You all know that the prince is kind, righteous, filial, brave, resolute, and decisive. In recent years, the prince has also achieved great success in the country under your assistance. I am more at ease to hand over the world over the years. I hope you can help and teach me well!"
Then the emperor asked Chengqian to kneel in front of him.
"Chengqian, Wuji is your biological uncle, Huailiang is your teacher, and you are also your uncle. Wuji assisted me in conquering the country and seizing the world, and after Zhenguan, he has been the prime minister in the court, and has worked hard and made great contributions. Huailiang also helped to plan for the rebellion in the ninth year of Wude. The new policy of Zhenguan came more from Qin Lang's proposal, and even more conquered it, which was a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty's rebellion, expanded its territory, and made great contributions."
"With them here, you don't have to worry about the Tang Dynasty."
Then he said to Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji, "You two are my confidant and humeral, and they are also the elders of the Tang Dynasty. You two are father-in-law and son-in-law. After I die, Huailiang, you will work harder and Wuji will become older. You should take care of him more, especially don't let villains slander and disagree."
"Wuji, your temperament is sometimes domineering. After I die, I hope you can restrain your temper."
After another cough.
Li Shimin called Li Baiyao and asked him to draft the will in person.
Qin Lang, Changsun Wuji and Li Ji were appointed as ministers of regents, assisting the Crown Prince Chengqian to succeed to the throne and rule the country.
The will was completed, Li Shimin personally took a look, signed by a red pen, and used a seal.
Except for Li Ji, the nine prime ministers were asked by the emperor to sign and use seals on the will. This is an abnormal practice.
"Okay, the will of the will is well established, I can go there with confidence."
After saying that, the emperor was so coughed that he could not speak, so he could only signal everyone to withdraw with his hands.
Qin Lang and others retreated outside the hall, but they also knew that the emperor was probably in these two days, so they worked directly in the side room outside the hall and did not dare to leave.
Chengqian and Li Baiyao, a great-grandson of the Hanlin Academy, guarded the hall, and several old imperial physicians guarded the emperor.
In the afternoon, the emperor became a little more energetic.
However, the imperial physicians told the prime ministers that the emperor was looking back.
The prime ministers entered the hall to visit the emperor.
Li Shimin knew he couldn't do it, but he was very calm. He tried his best to extend his life for many years, but now he has finally come to an end and has become free and easy.
"Start now, we will be in the Imperial Camp, and we will be in charge of Qin Lang. After I die, we will not be mourned secretly. Qin Lang and Wuji will take Yulin and fly cavalry to protect the prince. First return to Luoyang, Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang will escort my coffin, and then go."
"Military and national affairs must not be stopped. The funeral of Ganyang Hall will be held, and the civil and military officials will read the will in front of the crown prince, and the throne will be held twenty-seven days later. The throne will be held next year to change the era and build a new new one!"
The emperor gave it very carefully.
Because the emperor was on the Eastern Tour at this time, although Chengqian had been the throne for many years, he still had to be very careful at such an important moment of the handover of imperial power.
To avoid any turmoil.
For this reason, Li Shimin personally told him that after his death, he would not have a funeral secretly. Qin Lang, the auxiliary minister of the Longquan Palace, led the imperial guards to guard Chengqian and immediately returned to Luoyang, while Xu Jingzong, Chu Suiliang and others secretly escorted the emperor's coffin and then returned to Luoyang.
After arriving in Luoyang, the prince immediately ascended the throne in front of the Ganyang Hall of the main hall of the palace, in front of all civil and military officials.
This is to avoid accidents in the throne.
When the spirit ascended the throne before, Chengqian became the new king. The title of the monarch and ministers was determined first, so that all civil and military officials could worship the new king in front of the spirit and welcome the new emperor.
Then the official mourning was held, but Chengqian only had to stay mourning for twenty-seven days, and the sun instead of the moon.
During these twenty-seven days, the court must make every effort to prepare for the throne ceremony. After the mourning period, the ceremony will be held immediately without delay.
After the ascension of the throne in Lingqian and the ascension ceremony, Chengqian was considered to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
By the first day of the first lunar month next year, the new era will be changed and the new year will be promulgated, and the new year name will be officially begun.
When Li Shimin was at Chengqian's age, he relied on military operations to launch the Xuanwu Gate Palace Transformation and seized the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty. He was very sensitive to these things. At this time, he seriously explained Chengqian and Qin Lang.
Although it is unlikely that someone dares to do anything randomly, they have to be careful.
After saying this, the emperor's eyes gradually faded away, and he even looked at the palace and shouted the name of Guanyin maid.
After shouting several times, the emperor suddenly regained his spirit and explained, "The kings are the governors and the governors, and they will listen to the funeral."
"But Li Tai is forbidden to return to Beijing."
"The King of Wu and King of Jin will allow them to return to Beijing after the throne ceremony."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly lost his voice.
"His Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji cried.
The prince also hugged Qin Lang and cried bitterly.
Qin Lang looked at the thin emperor, his heart was very complicated, but he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to the prince, "The saint handed over the country of the ancestral temple to His Highness. How can His Highness imitate ordinary people and only know how to cry?"
Changsun Wuji also put away his tears at this time and nodded to Qin Lang.
"The saint Bintian had made arrangements before, and now he will follow the will. Duke Wei immediately sent someone to summon the generals of the imperial guards to listen to the will and escort the prince to set off for the westward return to Luoyang as soon as possible."
"Mr. Xu and Duke Chu, please ask the eunuchs of the palace to organize the remains of the saints and prepare to go on the road."
