The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

"From now on, you and I sever the relationship between father and son. I am no longer your father, and you are no longer my son!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said firmly.

"Father! why do you……"

Li Changqing was horrified, but it didn't take him a moment to understand what Li Yuan meant!

Li Yuan was trying to make things easier for him and Li Xiuning by severing the father-son relationship with him! In this way, even if he and Li Xiuning are together, who can say anything?

Li Yuan smiled, forced himself to write the edict, then dried the ink, and handed the precious edict into Li Xiuning's hands.

"This Tang Dynasty will be left to you two...I...will also go to find your mother.……"

Li Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became inaudible. His head hung deeply, but there was a relaxed smile at the corner of his mouth.

Li Changqing stretched out his trembling hand and probed Li Yuan's nose for breath. The tiger's body suddenly shook violently, and a look of mourning filled his cheeks.

Li Xiuning's tears became more and more violent, and her tears kept falling like broken beads.

Li Changqing laid Li Yuanping on the bed, then knelt on the ground with Li Xiuning, prostrated deeply, and cried out with great sadness:

"My son, Li Changqing, bids farewell to his father, Emperor Long Yu Bintian!"

……

……

When the news of Li Yuan's death came out, all the officials were shocked and the whole country was sad.

In Chang'an City, every household was hung with white silk curtains. There was an atmosphere of mourning and sadness throughout the city, and cries could be heard everywhere.

As the founding emperor, Li Yuan was very loved by the people because of his benevolence, virtue and virtuousness. Therefore, his death made many officials and people feel sincere sadness.

Li Changqing declared a national mourning, and named Li Yuan as Gaozu. The whole country had a cold food for seven days to express mourning.

At the same time, he himself will guard the mourning hall for Li Yuan for one month, and then bury Li Yuan in the imperial mausoleum according to the ancestral system.

……

Tai Chi Hall, court meeting.

After Li Yuan's death, the throne has been vacant. Now that one month has passed, Li Changqing still has not announced the appointment of a new emperor, which makes many ministers feel uneasy.

Today they finally couldn't help it anymore and all stood up to admonish Li Changqing.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was the first to say:"I think that the King of Han Li Yuanxiao is benevolent and virtuous enough to claim the title of emperor."

The Minister of the Ministry of War shook his head and said:"The King of Han is indecisive and not an emperor. I think that the King of Zheng Li Yuanjing is more suitable."

"King Li Yuanjia of Han has both moral integrity and talent, and is extremely talented. I sincerely request King Wu to make King Han the emperor!"

The other ministers continued. In just a short while, five or six important ministers stood up to give advice to Li Changqing and supported a prince to proclaim himself emperor.

Li Yuan had more than five biological children, except Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanji. In addition to Li Xiuning, there are more than a dozen heirs.

However, these people are all concubines and cannot be compared with the five of them in terms of status or strength. When Li Yuan was in power, he was only named a prince and enjoyed the glory and wealth but did not have any Rights.

But no matter how you say it, these people are the descendants of Li Yuan and are of royal blood.

The Minister of Rites cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, the country cannot live without an emperor for a day. Now that the previous emperor has passed away, the people in the country are in turmoil. A new emperor must be appointed as soon as possible to calm the people."."

Another minister heard the words and also echoed:"What Mr. Huang said is absolutely true. The country, the country, the country, and the country are the most important. I sincerely request your majesty to make the King of Han the emperor!"

"nonsense! The King of Han is the best choice to become the new emperor!"

"The two adults are wrong, Prince Zheng is the best choice!"

……

In the main hall, the officials argued endlessly with each other. Among them, the most vocal ones were Han Wang Li Yuanxiao, Han Wang Li Yuanjia, and Zheng Wang Li Yuanjing.

These princes are all in the main hall. Originally, they, the idle princes, did not need to attend court meetings. However, recently I heard that some ministers wanted to recommend the princes to be emperors and empresses, so they began to go to court more frequently.

"If I can get the throne of emperor and be crowned emperor, wouldn't I have accomplished something that even Li Shimin couldn't do?"

Li Yuanxiao, the king of Han, felt happy when he heard the debate among the ministers.

The position of emperor was something he would have never dared to think about before, but now he seems to see a glimmer of hope.

Not only him, but also several others The princes, such as King Zheng and King Han, all had joy in their eyes.

They subconsciously looked up at Li Changqing, but it was this glance that made the three of them freeze in place.

Because Li Changqing, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, also Looking at them, their eyes were dull.

But this dull gaze made the three of them feel boundless pressure!

The fire in their hearts was instantly extinguished by Li Changqing's look, and they suddenly realized one thing.

No matter it was Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, or Li Shimin all died for the throne, so what do they... count? They are not as good as the deposed prince Li Jiancheng. In this case, what qualifications do they have to get involved in the throne?

People have to know themselves, and they...Crossed the line.

Han Wang Li Yuanxiao's face turned pale, his legs went weak and he knelt down, panicking:"Your Majesty! I have no great ambitions, little virtue and few talents, and there is no way I can be worthy of the throne of emperor!"

"The same is true for me. I only want to be an idle king in the prosperous times. How dare I get involved in the throne of emperor? The adults were joking"

"Like my two brothers, I have no such intention!"

Li Yuanjia and Li Yuanjing both knelt down and spoke hurriedly, their hearts filled with boundless fear. All the previous joy and expectations had already flown out of the sky. The three of them had cold sweat on their backs. Thoroughly wet.

Seeing the three kings kneeling on the ground with their bodies trembling slightly, many ministers were stunned and didn't know what to say.

"But the country cannot live without an emperor for a day, and the matter of enthroning the emperor cannot be delayed.……"

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment and then said.

Li Yuanxiao and the others couldn't wait to go up and give this old guy a hard blow to shut him up forever. Can you please stop talking? If you say anything more, someone will really die!

Li Yuanxiao was anxious and wise, and quickly replied:"I, I think Princess Pingyang Zhao can be crowned emperor!"
