The other princes had a long way to go in the fief, so it was understandable that they couldn't come for a while, and everyone understood that Li Fu didn't come. After all, it wasn't long after Li Fu was rumored to be killed by an assassin in the grassland, and he was buried a few days ago.
But Princess Lanwei didn't show up in front of the mourning hall to honor the old emperor, and even her mother and concubine didn't show up, all of this seemed so intriguing.
"Empress Empress, Empress Imperial Concubine, I am in mourning." The voices of the ministers came.
Only Concubine Xu Gui was still responding, while Empress Qi was just burning paper money in the brazier with a numb expression.
After the memorial ceremony, all the ministers found Li Xu by coincidence.
"I have seen Your Highness."
Li Xu wore hemp and filial piety, and looked at the ministers indifferently.
"What's the matter, adults?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty chose a successor for our Dahua Dynasty a few days ago?" a minister asked.
These words are actually nonsense, after all, Li An is the prince, and the emperor is gone, so naturally Li An will return to the palace to inherit the throne.
The reason for asking this question is that everyone has their own plans.
"Of course it's decided." Li Xu replied slowly.
Hearing this, the ministers became nervous: "Who is His Majesty ordering?"
"Lao Jiu is the crown prince, so naturally he will inherit the throne. I have already sent someone to Qingshui County to ask Lao Jiu to come back and preside over the overall situation." Li Xu sighed.
The faces of the ministers changed drastically in an instant, and they blurted out: "Your Highness, no!"
"Why not? Li An is the crown prince, and it is reasonable for him to inherit the throne." Li Xu said indifferently.
Seeing Li Xu's determined appearance, the ministers became very nervous. They didn't want to see Li An inherit the throne.
If the old emperor passed on the throne himself, they would have nothing to say, but now that the old emperor has died suddenly, and Li An is still in the capital, it means that everything is still turning for the better.
When Li An attacked the gentry in southern Xinjiang, he had already sounded the alarm for them. His intuition told them that once Li An ascended the throne, he would definitely attack them as soon as possible.
In order to protect themselves, they cannot allow Li An to ascend the throne.
Meeting Li Xu's gaze, a minister said slowly: "Your Highness, the rules left by the ancestors are to establish the elders but not the young, and to pass on the lineage and not the virtuous.
His Royal Highness the former crown prince died young, and the second prince died young. Now that you are the eldest son, His Royal Highness will naturally inherit the throne. "
The ministers all guessed that Li Fu's death probably had a great relationship with Li Xu, and those ministers who were in Li Fu's camp were also eager to express their views at this moment.
Support Li Xu's ascension to the throne, so as to brush up the favorability, in case Li Xuqiu will settle accounts later.
"Nonsense!" Li Xu suddenly yelled angrily, and angrily glanced at all the ministers: "Lao Jiu is the crown prince appointed by the late emperor, if you let me ascend the throne, don't you let me seek power and let me take the throne from my brother?
Are you putting this palace in fire and water, making this palace cast aside by the world?What are your intentions? "
Li Xu's angry reprimand made the ministers shrink their necks in fright.
"Your Highness, we have absolutely no such intentions. We petition His Highness to ascend the throne so that he can preside over the overall situation. The country cannot be without a king for a day. It is also the aspiration of the people of the world that His Highness inherits the great rule.
It is not only in line with the rules of the ancestors, but also the opinion of the public. Who dares to speak nonsense?
Your Highness is virtuous, who else is better than you? "
The ministers kept clapping rainbow farts, which made Li Xu feel comfortable.
But Li Xu didn't tear off the disguise yet, but said helplessly: "But Your Majesty didn't issue an edict to pass on the throne to my palace, and my palace ascended the throne. The name is not right and the words are not right!"
"Your Highness, the jade seal is in the palace. Anyone can write the edict. As long as the jade seal is stamped, it will be the last emperor's edict." A wise man came up with a plan.
Hearing this, Li Xu looked at the man with a sneer: "How can you convince the public with this approach? Will the common people recognize it?"
"Your Highness, we have surrendered to Your Highness, and when we accept this edict, it is equivalent to the recognition of the people." A minister said.
That's right, the ministers all agree with this approach, so even if the edict that comes out is fake, everyone will recognize it as the real edict.
This is what Li Xu was waiting for. You all asked me to do this now. If someone dares to talk about the imperial edict in the future, then don't blame me for chopping your dog's head off.
"I can't do such a nasty thing." Li Xu wanted to set up a memorial archway even if he was a bitch.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, just leave the imperial edict to us."
Everything was as Li Xu expected.
"Alas~" Li Xu sighed a long time, his face full of grief: "You are putting this palace in a place where there will be no redemption!"
The biggest beneficiary is acting as if he has been wronged at this moment.
……
On the second day, the ministers found Li Xu with the imperial edict, urging Li Xu to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that everything would be a foregone conclusion.
After Li Xu ascended the throne, they were not afraid that Li An would come to the palace. If Li An still wanted to fight for the throne, then it would be usurping the throne.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Xu looked at the ministers kneeling all over the floor, and sneered, "My lords, these are all chosen by you. After you choose, don't regret it!"
Chapter 447
"Long live my emperor, long live!" The ministers said in unison, and this was their reply.
Li Xu smiled happily: "Everyone loves you, you are flat.
Minister of Rites, go prepare for the enthronement ceremony. "
"The old minister takes orders."
Before the old emperor was buried, the enthronement ceremony was about to be held here, which was totally against the rules.
But the ministers couldn't wait any longer, and things would change if it was too late. They had to let Li Xu ascend the throne before Li An arrived in the capital, and announce it to the world!
……
After the court, Li Xu came to Princess Lanwei's palace.
"See Your Majesty." The address for Li Xu in the palace has been changed.
When Li Xu entered Princess Lanwei's palace, Princess Lanwei rushed out holding the sharp jade hairpin and wanted to fight Li Xu desperately, angrily scolded: "Li Xu, you killed the royal father, I will fight you desperately!"
Not to mention that Princess Lanwei was not Li Xu's opponent. As soon as she rushed to Li Xu's side, she was pushed to the ground by Li Xu's guards.
"Bold, dare to disrespect His Majesty!"
Li Xu looked condescendingly at Princess Lan Wei jokingly: "Lan Wei, why are you so confused, how dare you face me with a sword? Even if you are the eldest princess, you shouldn't be like this!"
"Li Xu, are you worthy of being called me?" Princess Lan Wei glared angrily, "In my heart, the only emperors in my Dahua are Father and Ninth Brother. Are you worthy?"
"Presumptuous!" The female official who always accompanied Concubine Xu yelled angrily, rushed over and slapped Princess Lanwei.
With great strength, Princess Lanwei's head was spinning, and it took a long time to recover.
After recovering, Princess Lanwei looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the world has changed, dogs dare to bite their master?"
After finishing speaking, she stared at Li Xu with eyes wide open: "Li Xu, you killed Bengong, brother Jiu will not let you go!"
"He, Li An, won't live long." Li Xu sneered, and then looked at Princess Lanwei coldly: "I will be enthroned tomorrow, and I will send you to the grassland to be married the day after tomorrow. I don't know when you want to be married. who is the person.
Maybe it's a small leader of a tribe, a picky person over half a century old, or a little slave who is slaughtered on the grassland?
I don't care anymore, you should go to the grassland, you can rot and pus on the grassland, Your Royal Highness! "
Li Xu's eyes became more and more cruel: "I heard that the grassland environment is harsh, after you go there, it may take less than a year for your beautiful face to be corroded by the wind and snow, and you will become old and ugly.
Tsk tsk tsk, Her Majesty the princess, it's miserable to think about what happened to her! "
Hearing this, Princess Lanwei's pupils dilated, and she looked at Li Xu in disbelief: "You want to send me to the grassland?"
There was panic in her eyes, and she was afraid.
She wasn't afraid of being sent to the grassland to endure hardship, but Li Xu didn't let her send her father off just after her father left?
"Prepare well, I will give you a generous dowry." With that said, Li Xu turned and left.
This trip is purely to disgust Princess Lanwei.
Princess Lanwei was completely panicked, and she wanted to catch up with Li Xu: "Li Xu, I beg you, let me go and see my father, let me see my father for the last time, as long as I send my father to be buried , I let you handle it."
Princess Lanwei wept bitterly, but the guards with guns blocked the distance between her and Li Xu.
……
The next day, Li Xu ascended the throne.
Li Xu became the new emperor of Dahua without hindrance.
It can't be said that there is no obstacle, there are still some voices of opposition, but these ministers who voiced their voices were all ransacked by thieves last night, and no one was left behind.
The ministers all knew about it, but they all knew it.
When the world is turbid, if you choose to be sober, that is the original sin.
Li Xu's first court after ascending the throne was to send Princess Lanwei to the grassland for a marriage.
Hearing that, many ministers voiced their opposition, the Rong tribe was wiped out by Li An, and now the grassland tribes are all Dahua's shepherds.Li Xu wants to send the princess to make peace with Mu Nu?Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?
Li Xu didn't care if he was slapped in the face or not, he just wanted revenge now, revenge quickly.
Faced with the objections from the ministers, Li Xu just said coldly: "It is your own choice to let me ascend the throne."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were quiet and greeted, yes, they chose it by themselves.
They also heard the threat in Li Xu's words. If they continue to oppose, their home will be the next to be bloodbathed.
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers said in unison.
In this way, Princess Lanwei was tied to the marriage team and left the capital that day.
Before Princess Lanwei, an imperial envoy first went to the Monan Grassland.
"Your Majesty has ordered that Jin Ge be dismissed from the post of General Guarding the Border, and the army guarding the Border will be disbanded immediately!"
A decree came so suddenly.
Li Xu wants to send Princess Lanwei to the grassland to suffer all kinds of hardships, so naturally he won't let people from Dahua stay here, let Princess Lanwei have a backer.
What's more, the general guarding the border here is still Li An's.
Facing the imperial edict, Jin Ge accepted it blankly, and under the supervision of the imperial envoy, disbanded the border guards.
There was no news of the person he sent to deliver the letter for a long time, and he had already guessed that the person had been intercepted and killed.
Originally, he planned to run back to Qingshui County by himself, but before he left, the imperial decree arrived first.
Seeing that Jin Ge obediently disbanded the border guards, the imperial envoy left the grassland contentedly.
What he didn't know was that although Jin Ge disbanded the border guards, he didn't take the soldiers back to his hometown. Instead, he set up camp in another place and waited for Li An's transfer order.
They are much more familiar with the grassland than the imperial envoy, and these actions have not been noticed.
And the people of these tribes in the grassland did not dare to expose Jin Ge and the others.
They always remember that it is not the Dahua Dynasty that scares them, but Li An!
……
Li Xu was also enthroned, and Princess Lanwei was also sent out of the capital, so Li Xu stopped the news blockade and spread the news of the old emperor Bintian and himself enthroned.
Although the news spread, they deliberately avoided two places, Haijiang and Nanjiang.
The princes from all over the world have already received the obituary notices, and they all returned to the capital for the funeral belatedly.
Li Xu planned to wait for the old emperor to be buried, and after all those who should be buried with him were buried with him, he would inform the Li An brothers about this matter.
When the princes rushed to the capital day and night, Li Xu issued another imperial decree.
According to the last wish of the first emperor, the Qi family of the first emperor was abolished, demoted to a concubine, and the name of Empress Qi was listed in the list of burials.
After Queen Qi was abolished, his biological mother, Concubine Xu Gui, was established as the queen of the first emperor. Now that he is on the throne, he is also the queen mother.
Li Xu said that this was the last emperor's will, but the princes are not fools.
Although they couldn't understand Li Xu's actions, the overall situation was settled, and they could only choose to acquiesce.
After being deposed suddenly, Empress Qi still didn't say anything, just stood in front of the coffin every day, burning paper money with a blank expression on her face.
Even if the Empress Dowager Xu used all kinds of provocations in her ears, she was neither sad nor happy, as if she was a body without a soul.
Seven days before the old emperor's coffin rested, time was running out.
