15. Regret of the navel
The prescribed day has arrived. In the Liangyi Hall, where the children of Shenwei were strictly guarded, the Supreme Emperor Li Shi, supported by the new Xuanhui North and South Envoy Xue Yingbao and Liu Caiyu, passed through the long and tortuous room. The new Wensi envoy Wang Zhongyan held Yu Ruyi in front of him and led the way diligently. In the end, the Supreme Emperor had some weak steps and stepped on the Xuanling Gate. The winter sun shone in front of him, making the Supreme Emperor dizzy and almost unstable.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor!" The several officials rushed forward and helped Li Shi firmly.
"It's okay, it's okay." The Supreme Emperor raised his hand gently and said to them in a weak and harmless tone, please rest assured.
Below the steps, a car is placed.
At this time, the Supreme Emperor used his eyes that were not presbyopia and quickly scanned the audience while others were not paying attention. He saw that the middle officials he had used, such as Meng Guangcheng, the fifth Shouyi, etc., were gone.
Later, the Supreme Emperor found out that these high-ranking eunuchs who were originally popular under his rule were all rejected after Nei Zen: Meng Guangcheng became a mountain garden envoy and wanted to build mountain tombs for himself who was still alive; while the fifth guard was a martial eunuch, who was going to manage the five workshops, and his duty was to create various wise tools needed for his burial ceremony for himself who was still alive...
The key position of the inner court, the prince was quickly replaced by his own person.
"Yes, are you going to Xuanzhengzhengya?" At this moment, the Supreme Emperor's voice became weaker and older, and the hair on his temples was quite long.
Wen Si envoy Wang Zhongyan hurriedly replied that the ministers and envoys hoped to see the two palaces meeting in the main yamen at the same time to calm people's hearts.
After saying that, the people around him, whether they were middle-aged officials or military soldiers, looked at the Supreme Emperor with strange looks.
The Supreme Emperor immediately laughed and said yes, yes, that is, everyone wants to see that the ancestral temple and the world have completely abdicated to the new emperor.
Only then did Wang Zhongyan and others become happy and respectfully helped the Supreme Emperor onto the car.
In the cold wind, the decayed grass on the roof of Liangyi Hall was constantly whistling and trembling.
The Liangyi Hall is actually in the old palace city (the Tang Dynasty was originally an integrated layout of the imperial city and the palace city, but later the inner court and the outer dynasty institutions gradually moved to the newly built Daming Palace on the east side), and on the north side of the Taiji Hall.
Therefore, when Li Song ascended the throne in Linxuan of Taiji Hall and accepted the cheers of the crowd, the Supreme Emperor could actually hear the sound in the corner of Liangyi Hall.
The car was swaying and came to the east gate of the palace city. The Supreme Emperor suddenly saw that a hundred steps away from home, a palace man in brocade clothes looked at him under a bush, tears streaming eyes, and then drove to his car and drove three times in a dusty place, not getting up again, until the shocked and moved Emperor disappeared.
This palace servant is the Shangqing period.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he continued to implement the "Zhenyuan New Deal". The first move was to distribute many palace ladies and marry freely to regulate the disordered yin and yang. Although Shangqing had very high-quality grades, she was also listed. She was married to a technical officer in Shaofujian who was proficient in jade making, a Silla native, Jin Zhongyi.
Before leaving, Shangqing specially expressed his final gratitude to the emperor's kindness...
"During the Inner Zen period, the prince's commanded the Shenwei Imperial Army was just two battalions of soldiers, but later he was able to take out a million stakes of money from my Nankuli and distribute it to the Shenwei Army and the Jinwu Army in the City to appease everyone. It is obvious that I originally asked the Nanku envoy (after Daying and Qionglin was deposed and changed to the Nanku envoy) Huo Zhongtang, who had also deviated from me and handed over the keys and books of the innerku to the prince's side." At this point, the Supreme Emperor remembered the advice Li Mi gave to himself before his death.
Li Mi said to him with great sincerity:
Gao Yue and Wei Gao can give titles and favors in every way. They can even do feudalism, but they cannot participate in the center;
Gao Yue and Lu Zhi sometimes have the same opinions, but sometimes they have different opinions. Your Majesty can only listen to Lu Zhi;
Your Majesty should not be obsessed with the siege of female officials, middle officials, and attendants, so as not to be trapped in it, and to cause disaster to yourself.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! Wrong, wrong!" The emperor shouted silently, feeling heartbroken and regretful.
Before I knew it, I completely violated Li Mi's advice!
First, Gao Yue entered the central government and became the prime minister, which made him and Lu Zhi have the same aura, and Lu Zhi was completely influenced by Gao Yue;
Even though I listened to the close ministers Pei Yanling and Li Qiyun, expelled Lu Zhi, angered Gao Yue, and made a fuss until he was extremely passive. In the end, not only did the close ministers' group be destroyed, but the imperial power was also invaded;
When Wei Gao and others seek feudalism, I should not react fiercely, but should first be empty and winding. When their arrogance and flaws are revealed, they should use the legal principles of imperial power, unite and be loyal to the court, and suppress and eliminate it;
In the end, the reason why the prince was able to succeed in meditation was to leverage the closest people around me, the imperial guards, eunuchs, etc., to turn against me...
What Li Mi said really hits everything.
I have let down my sir, it’s really a matter of death!
What’s ridiculous is that I’ve been thinking these days that whoever advised the prince to seize power. In fact, after all, there is only one reason, that is, I’m taking it upon myself!
When the Supreme Emperor thought of this, he suddenly collapsed into the car, and saliva flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the car driver team had already entered the Daming Palace. Just after passing Linde Hall, Wang Zhongyan was frightened when he saw the Supreme Emperor's appearance and kept calling out to the side of the wheel. The Supreme Emperor seemed to faint, with his eyes squinted and unable to move.
The other two Xue Yingbao and Liu Caiyu were even more scared to the point of fighting. "The Supreme Emperor seems to be numb!" Then he hurriedly asked what to do.
Wang Zhongyan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "All officials and envoys are waiting in front of Hanyuan Hall, waiting to enter the main yamen to worship the two palaces. Even if the sky falls today, they will have to gather the two palaces in the Imperial Palace."
So the chariot continued to rush. When they arrived at the north of Guangshun Gate, the envoys of the garrison and the group of the garrison came forward. Wang Zhongyan shouted, "If you have the strength, lift the chariot of the sage and carry it to the main yamen. Remember to stay away from the civil and military officials and internal and external envoys, just let them see it!"
Everyone rushed up to remove the wheels of the carriage, turn them into a carriage, and then pulled up the curtain, covering the appearance and body of the Supreme Emperor as much as possible. With one go, they carried the carriage and stepped on the steps step by step towards Xuanzheng Hall.
The Supreme Emperor was stiff in the car, his arms and neck were no longer in charge. Wang Zhongyan said to quickly summon the imperial physician, while constantly wiping the saliva from the corner of the Supreme Emperor's mouth with his sleeves.
At this time, Wang Zhongyan saw that although the Supreme Emperor could not move, his eyes could still turn and he could stare at him, and he couldn't help but feel creepy.
Because of wind numbness (to prevent students from having any questions, here’s an explanation, ancient wind numbness can also refer to stroke and body paralysis), although the Supreme Emperor’s body cannot move, the most painful thing is that his mind is still clear, so his eyes can still move.
"It's okay..." In the end, the Supreme Emperor squeezed out these two words with difficulty.
But in his heart, what Gao Yue said echoed:
"Your Majesty, how can there be a tomb in this world that cannot be dug?"
Chapter completed!
