Chapter 277 (1/2)
Set the timeline back to the day before the emperor died
He had previously received the news that Wei Ran escaped from many experts in the cross slope. The content was too strange. A weak general who had been punished for ten days could escape from the siege of the world's top killer and the top expert of the magic door.
The emperor was so angry that his condition worsened during the day that he didn't even participate in the early Dynasty.
However, even more exciting to him was that the prince came to him in the name of seeing a doctor and said that he hoped to accept Li Chengye's daughter Li huaimeng as the Crown Princess and rejoice for his father and Emperor.
The emperor's blood rushed to his forehead and almost had a stroke on the spot.
What is the matter with their children? Li Yunzhao, the princess of Shouning, managed to nip out the signs. Although it is not perfect, Li Dingguo can't go back to Chang'an in this life.
Now this incompetent and greedy son wants to marry Li Chengye's four daughters again. Are they all in a hurry to turn them into relatives?!
Are they all so stupid? I don't know if Li Chengye becomes a relative and his military heart is in hand, who can beat him in the court? In the future, his surname will also be Li, but he will still be li of the Li Tang royal family?
The emperor beat the crown prince with his own hands. The scolding in his words was very violent, and even mentioned that he wanted to depose him.
Although the prince was fatuous, he was not stupid. At that time, he was scared to tears and begged again and again before he was let go by the emperor. When he went out, he looked angry and didn't know what thoughts turned in his mind.
That night, when the emperor was critically ill, he quickly ordered to block the news, and sent people to Zhongnan mountain to recruit National Teacher Zhang Chong and to Beijing. He had sensed some dangers, all of which were dormant in the dark when he was still healthy on weekdays.
Now that he was ill in bed, he felt that all the palace maids and bodyguards around him had some indescribable meaning when they secretly glanced at themselves. In particular, others already know that the Baiqi division, as their own spy organization, has been infiltrated by Zhang Zhen, and this sense of insecurity becomes stronger and stronger.
The emperor remained basically calm at this time. He knew that his time was running out. The prince was indeed a waste. The country must not rely on this person to rule in the future.
He gave the princess the fish charm and sent it to the Zuo Shence army in the suburbs to control the 20000 elite border troops. Although these 20000 border troops are all from Longyou Road, they are all proud soldiers and fierce generals, and it is absolutely difficult to obey the management of a young woman such as Princess Shouning.
But the original Zuo Shence army has not returned, and they are the only troops that can fight in Beijing. The emperor had no choice but to let the carefully trained real successors master this elite army in case of the riddled Baiqi division and the right Shence army.
When the imperial edict was issued to let the National Teacher return to Beijing, two decrees were drafted simultaneously. One was to explain the changes in power behind him, which was very important. It was quietly handed over to Princess mu by someone who had absolute trust. The other is Mingzhi, which was given to Zhang Zhen.
The most important content of the first will is that the crown prince is young and unable to manage politics. The crown prince's biological mother, Princess mu, listens to politics behind the curtain.
There is no Regent here, but the imperial concubine hangs the curtain, which is contrary to common sense. It is because Princess Shouning and the crown prince are compatriots and let Princess Mu hang the curtain to listen to politics, so if Princess Shouning is allowed to take power behind the scenes.
Concubine Mu was born as a civilian and had no relatives backstage. She was alone. She has never been involved in government, and naturally she does not understand politics. She can only rely on Princess Shouning to assist in politics. It happens that if Princess Shouning controls the Zuo Shence army outside the city, the military power is in her hand. She also has some civilian cronies on weekdays and can maintain power stability.
Here, the emperor still regretted that he did not insist until the Zuo Shence army returned to the dynasty. Otherwise, he could command the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty with the reputation of setting up a field hospital as a princess.
