  Chapter 1362 Persuading

  Dongdu martial law.

  Jin Wuwei took to the streets on patrol, and the Luoyang government government also ordered Henan and Luoyang counties to send government officials to inspect the workshop, and even the patrolling censor of Yushitai had already patrolled the city urgently.

  The capital city at the foot of the Son of Heaven has always been well-informed.

  Ludaofang, next door to Zhuyuan, Xu Mansion.

  The door of the Xu Mansion was closed, and the atmosphere was solemn.

  Patriarch Xu Jingzong has been in the study and has met several groups of people. He is holding a glass of wine at this time, his face is reddish, and his eyes are full of excitement.

  Compared to the uneasiness and panic of Xu's children and servants outside, Xu Jingzong smiled.

Although he was hated by the emperor before and was dismissed as prime minister, he is now at home, but after all he still retains the second-rank official rank of Doctor Guanglu. He has been prime minister for nearly thirty years from Zhenguan to Kaiyuan. From the scattered news, I already know roughly what is going on.

   And when he heard that Qin Jun had entered the palace through the Xuanwu Gate, he knew more clearly that his opportunity had come.

  The relationship between Xu Jingzong and Qin Lang is very good, and the two are in-laws. Now that Qin Jun has entered the palace, then this matter will be settled, and Qin Jun will definitely come to him.

   "Aye, Luoyang City is under martial law, Jinwu patrols have already taken to the streets, Luoyang government has also sent yamen guards to inspect the square, and even the people from Yushitai have begun to patrol the city!"

   "This is a good thing." Xu Jingzong smiled slightly.

  These actions represent that the center of the imperial court began to play a role, and even Qin Jun not only controlled the palace, but also controlled the central government.

   "Aye, the Qin family really mutinied? How dare they?"

  The Su family has just been defeated.

  Xu Jingzong laughed, "That's called King Qin's rebellion, and the Qing emperor punished the traitors."

  Successful kings and defeated bandits, if they succeed, it will be chaos, and if they fail, it will be rebellion and chaos.

  Xu Jingzong did not wait too long.

  It was almost noon, and a decree came from the palace.

   "Review the Zhongshu order, and make peace with the Zhongshumen."

   It was Qin Gui Qin Shandao who came to deliver the decree. He brought a team of forbidden troops, and he was accompanied by a low-level official from the province.

   "Xu Xiang." Qin Gui crossed his hands in salute, briefly explained the situation, and asked him to come out quickly to maintain the situation.

  Xu Jingzong happily asked his concubine to bring his official robe and crown, and immediately went out with Qin Gui after changing.

  ······

  Xu Jingzong was busy until dusk before entering the palace.

  Go to the provincial temples in the imperial city to stabilize people's hearts and arrange tasks, go to the Luoyang government office to take command, and finally go to the Nanya fan camp outside the city to appease the army.

  The emperor is still in the Xizhou Ninghua Palace in Jiuzhou Pool.

"Your Majesty woke up a few times before, but he still couldn't speak, he was even insane, and he couldn't even recognize people. However, the imperial doctor said that His Majesty's condition is relatively stable, and the next step is to recover slowly, mainly relying on acupuncture and decoction. "..."

   side hall.

  All the princes from the eastern and western prefectures and the Hanlin Academy have arrived.

  Crown Prince Li Xian has already changed into the prince's crown at this time, and is sitting at the top to listen to government affairs.

  Although a huge event happened today, it did not cause much disturbance. The main reason is that it happened too suddenly and progressed too fast.

It didn't take more than an hour for Qin Jun and the others to gather together quickly after receiving the secret message from the palace, and then summon the servants to launch a surprise attack. From convincing the Zuo Shenji Camp to entering the Xuanwu Gate, and then to boarding the West Continent to control the situation, It was only less than half an hour.

  From outside the North Gate to Xuanwu Gate and then to the palace, there was basically no resistance.

  The prime ministers of the two prefectures also cooperated exceptionally. Even Xiao Siye didn't resist much, that is, Gao Hu and other eunuchs who made trouble resisted, but on the small island, it was quickly pacified.

  After that, there was an imperial edict, and the chief executives came forward to appease them separately, and the matter quickly calmed down.

   Even after seeing the imperial edict, many people did not know that such a thrilling news had happened.

  Control the palace, master the center, and then have the name of the crown prince supervising the country, the next thing is very simple.

  Qin Jun sat in the palace and sent troops to continue arresting Gao Hu and other **** rebels. While Cheng Chumo appeased the army, they quickly put Wei, Pei and other people under control, or dismissed them or arrested them. The lieutenants of the guards and military supervisors in the various armies were either arrested and locked up, or killed directly.

  Crown Prince Li Xian has issued an Order to Supervise the Kingdom of the Crown Prince, abolishing **** positions and institutions such as Lieutenant of the Guard, Xuanhui Yuan, and Privy Council Envoy.

  Even the two major inner court institutions, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Supervisor of the Provincial Palace of the Palace, are temporarily appointed as civil servants.

  The **** is now like a rat crossing the street, being controlled, interrogated, and cleaned up.

Officials outside the two governments, three provinces, six departments, nine temples, and twenty-four guards and divisions were surprised by the drastic changes in the palace, but they all expressed their gratitude to Qin Wang Li Xian as the crown prince and to supervise the country's regent when the sage suffered a stroke and was unable to govern. A calm, even mostly supportive attitude.

   First of all, Li Xian's reputation has indeed been good these years, and he has the name of a virtuous king.

Furthermore, he is the oldest among the princes now, the three in front of him are all dead, his mother is the imperial concubine, and Empress Webster's scandal broke out not long ago, and she was imprisoned by the emperor. Leng Gong, coupled with the fact that Luoyang soldiers and civilians have always had a good impression of the Qin family, they all love Wu Ji Wu.

  If Gao Hu and the others succeed in supporting the fourteenth prince, it will inevitably cause criticism from the capital, but Li Xian is the prince, so there is nothing to say.

   Today, Luoyang is basically stable, with no major turmoil.

In particular, the crown prince confessed that Wei and Xiao's family should be dealt with lightly, and it was true that the outside world did not go too far. Qin Li and others sent troops to surround Wei and Xiao's family first, and invited important figures to the Ministry of Education. Drinking tea, and then ransacking the house without jumping around, nor catching and killing people everywhere.

  Although it was inevitable that the children of Wei Xiaozheng's families in the various departments of the capital and the various armies were temporarily controlled, at least there was not much movement.

  The capital is under martial law, but the market is not closed. It is just a curfew and the night market is closed.

  The situation is stable and better than Qin Jun predicted. This is also related to the cooperation of Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Xue Rengui, Li Anqi and other ministers.

  Zhongshu ordered Li Yifu to look at Qin Jun sitting next to him from the corner of his eye. He was in his thirties and was already a school inspector. Although Qin Lang was only 20 years old when he joined the Political Affairs Hall, Qin Lang joined the Political Affairs Hall as a part-time official to participate in government affairs, and Qin Jun was a school inspector.

  He looked at Xu Jingzong, the school secretary on the other side of him. This Xu Gong is in a good mood today, with a smile on his face all the time.

Xu Jingzong can also be regarded as his old benefactor, who has supported him a lot, but these years, under the intention of the emperor, his relationship with Xu Jingzong has gone further and further, and he even climbed to the top of Xu Jingzong from behind. He kicked out of the political affairs hall.

   It's just that he didn't expect Xu Jingzong to come back in such a way.

  Perhaps feeling his gaze, Xu Jingzong smiled at him, and Li Yifu immediately responded with a happy smile.

  Xu Jingzong was called the smiling tiger, and Li Yifu was called Li Mao. The two guys smiled brightly at each other, as if they were close friends.

  Li Yifu felt a lot of pressure.

  One Zhongshu Province can have two Zhongshu Ministers, but cannot have two Zhongshu Orders. Xu Jingzong will be in danger if he examines the school's book order.

   After thinking for a while, Li Yifu spoke up.

   "The Taibao and the British prince were transferred from the privy envoy to Zuopushe, but soon the old illness relapsed, so they had to ask the saint to go to Xijing for recuperation."

   "Nowadays in the situation in the court, I think it is better to invite the elders to sit in charge, but it is a pity that Ying Gong is unwell and cannot come back. I suggest that the only way is to send someone to Luzon to invite the king of Qi to return to the court and assist His Highness the crown prince in governing."

  When Li Yifu said this, many people fell silent.

  Although Qin Lang is only in his fifties, he is younger than most of the people present, but in terms of merit, prestige and qualifications, no one can compare.

   Once conspiring with Yuan Cong to calm the chaos, and once making a decision to support the establishment, this alone is not enough, let alone the reformer of the Zhenguan New Deal, who has made so many meritorious deeds.

  Of course, the more important thing is that King Qin is now the crown prince, and Qin Jun personally launched a mutiny to support him. As the prince's uncle and Qin Jun's father, Qin Lang really has nothing to say if he returns to the court to assist the government.

   It’s just that everyone knows how the emperor was afraid of Qin Lang at the beginning, and he couldn’t wait to make Qin Lang king as soon as he succeeded to the throne, so that Qin Lang could no longer stay in the court as a prime minister.

  Qin Lang is now the king of Qi, and he is also the prince's uncle and Qin Jun's father. It is actually against the rules for him to enter the court.

  But Li Yifu's Zhong Shuling has spoken like this, so who can object at this time?

  Xu Jingzong immediately agreed.

   "The grand master has made great achievements. It would be best if he could come back and assist the prince in supervising the country."

  He also suggested that Qin Lang should simply worship Qin Lang as the inspector of the school, and also know the affairs of the two provinces under the school of Zhongshu. These are also the positions Qin Lang once held.

Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianwu, the two privy secretaries, were sitting there with armor on their bodies, just smiling and not saying a word. As long as they sit here, it will have an excellent effect, and there is no need to talk at all. They are as smart as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu. The two prime ministers can say everything they want to say but it is inconvenient to say.

  The other prime ministers could not refuse Qin Lang's return.

After all, it is an extraordinary time now, the emperor has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed, he is still not stable, and no one knows when he may die, and the palace has just experienced such a treason and hard work, and Qin Lang entered the state affairs, so what should he do? As the elder of the three dynasties, he can naturally play the role of a pillar.

  In case the emperor dies suddenly, having a veteran like Qin Lang in the court can ensure a smooth transition.

   Everyone doesn't want too much turmoil, and they all hope to maintain their own interests.

  Neither Xu Jingzong nor Li Yifu may really want Qin Lang to return to the court, after all, his reputation is too high, if he returns to the court to assist the government, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu will have no way to compete. But in the current situation, they can only use this to show their loyalty. Who made them fail to participate in this King Qin, and failed to gain any merit in calming the chaos.

As for the other elder, Li Ji, neither Xu Jingzong nor Li Yifu planned to call him back. Before that, the emperor finally transferred Li Ji from the Privy Council to the Political Affairs Hall, and then found an opportunity to get a handle, instructing Yushitai to impeach Li Ji. , forcing Li Ji to take the blame and resign, and invited him to Xijing to recuperate.

   "Your Highness!"

  An internal servant whispered in the distance. This is the **** Li Xian brought from the Qin Palace, an old man who has served by his side for many years. Now the eunuchs in the palace have been killed or arrested, and there are many vacancies for a while. Li Xian was also worried about those eunuchs who hadn't moved for a while, so he still used the old people around him.

   "Fengyu said that the saint's condition has changed, please come over."

  As soon as Li Xian heard this, he got up immediately, and Qin Jun also went there with Xu Jingzong and others.

  A group of ministers from the two governments and one courtyard followed the prince to the Ninghua Palace. The censors were busy, and the emperor opened his eyes on the imperial couch, even struggling.

  But the right side of the emperor was completely paralyzed at this time, without any consciousness, and the condition of the left side was not good. The emperor's movements seemed to be struggling and dancing.

   "The sage wanted to get up, but he couldn't do it now. The ministers tried to persuade him, but the sage didn't listen."

   I don’t know if I don’t listen, or I can’t hear it or I can’t listen to it. Anyway, the emperor has been struggling there, and he can’t even press it.

   "Father, my son, please be safe."

   Li Xian stepped forward and knelt in front of the couch.

  The emperor still did not calm down.

   He even tried to open his crooked mouth and squeaked out a sound, but the crowd focused and listened, at first they couldn't hear clearly, and then they managed to make out a few words.

  But these words are meaningless when put together.

   Fortunately, the imperial physician is also experienced. He explained to the prince and everyone that after a stroke, there will be aphasia or gibberish, mainly due to brain damage.

The more specific reason has not yet been grasped, but even after the condition is stable, some patients after stroke will always have aphasia, or keep talking nonsense, even if they are awake and want to say something, but In the end, it was another irrelevant word that was completely unable to express the true meaning.

  Although the emperor is now awake and conscious, his body is paralyzed, half of which cannot move at all, and half of which is still conscious, but he cannot lift his feet or grasp his hands.

  The emperor's eyes were crooked and his mouth slanted. Although he could speak, he was talking nonsense.

   "Is the saint's condition stable?"

Old Fengyu can only say conservatively, it is stable for the time being, but he cannot be sure, the symptoms of this kind of stroke are already very serious and dangerous, so it usually takes at least half a month before he can confirm whether he is out of danger, but half a month later. Even if you are out of danger after a month, symptoms such as paralysis and aphasia may not be relieved.

   Hear this.

  All the people in the temple couldn't help feeling pity and lamentation.

Although today's son has acted in many ways against etiquette after succeeding to the throne, and even acted arrogantly, in general, he is still a promising king. Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje, the three countries of Haidong, are all here Those who were wiped out and stabilized were officially incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It was this emperor who insisted on using troops against Xi Qi Mohe and others, and completely subdued them. Xi Qi moved north to the Xiliao River, allowing the Tang Dynasty to include the vast land north of Yanshan Mountain into its territory, which also changed Hebei and Hebei. The vast new territory of Liao and North Korea outside the pass is limited by a narrow Liaoxi Corridor. This is a long-term strategic victory for Datang, and even for the whole of China, it is very important. An important step, not even below the conquest of the Korean peninsula.

  The emperor has almost conquered Huyue, and has just abolished the Western Turks. Although this magnificent martial arts is based on the foundation laid by the holy ancestor, it also proves the ability of the Kaiyuan emperor.

  Some ministers have even written letters asking the emperor to confer Zen on Mount Tai.

  But now, this emperor who is only in his forties, after being a prince for more than 20 years and emperor for 15 years, is still at this age, and he is already like this.

   Paralyzed, unable to move, unable to speak, so what is the difference between a disabled person?

   "Your Highness, I request His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and respect the saint as the Supreme Emperor, so that the saint can rest in peace and recuperate his body."

  Li Yifu made another shocking statement.

  Respect the emperor Li Yin as the Supreme Emperor, and embrace the crown prince Li Xian as the emperor.

  Xu Jingzong followed closely behind, and even sighed secretly in his heart. Unfortunately, he hesitated for a while, and Li Yifu actually took the lead.

This is the merit of support, nothing is greater than support, the greater the natural merit of the first mention of support, although it is still not as good as today's Qin Jun, Cheng Chumo and others, but for Li Yifu and others, this is already an extremely rare one Here's the chance.

  It's a pity that Xu Jingzong missed it, but fortunately this one is also very good.

  Qin Jun, the inspector's attendant, looked at the two prime ministers, and then at the still struggling emperor's uncle, who could also be called uncle. I don't know what mood this person is in at this time?

   But the idea was only fleeting, and Qin Jun also asked the crown prince's cousin to ascend the throne.

   "Your servants, please respect the saint as the Supreme Emperor, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!"

  Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianwu also stepped forward to support him.

   These five people took the lead in standing up and persuading them to advance, and the other ministers followed up and persuaded them to stand after being dazed.

  On the couch, the emperor suddenly stopped struggling.
