Chapter 866: The Grasshopper After Autumn
"Originally, I persuaded you to give you a way to keep the whole family of Li, but... you and Prime Minister Li Mao not only want to keep your whole family of Li in this chaotic situation, you stand alone, whether it is Whoever loses wins, and the coffin will be closed in the end, that is, if one of you dies, the Li family will not only be preserved because of the other person's achievements, but also because of one person's enlightenment." Bai Jinxiu looked into Li Mingrui's eyes Qingming, "Okay?"
Li Mingrui didn't expect Bai Jinxiu to be able to guess his thoughts, but now that he was guessed, he admitted frankly: "It's just trying to find a way to survive for Li's family, a better way to survive! It's like when the male of the Bai family died in battle, Both His Majesty and King Xin want the Bai family to die, and it is the same way for Princess Zhen Guo to try to save the Bai family's life, they are all involuntary."
With her hands behind her back, Bai Jinxiu looked at Li Mingrui calmly: "It's different..."
It's also a way to survive, but how can Li Mingrui be compared with her elder sister?
People like Li Mingrui don't understand the Bai family at all, let alone elder sister.
Li Mingrui looked up at Bai Jinxiu, not quite understanding what Bai Jinxiu was saying was different, but seeing that Bai Jinxiu didn't intend to continue, Li Mingrui just looked at Bai Jinxiu and didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Jinxiu smiled and said, "Lord Li is still suitable to be a civil servant and adviser, not to lead troops to fight."
"Yes..." Li Mingrui admitted frankly, "Therefore, when King Zhen was alive, he ordered the descendants of the Bai family to learn the art of war from an early age, hone in the army at the age of ten, and fight in the battlefield, which made sense."
According to Li Mingrui's suggestion, Bai Jinxiu managed to quietly send the news of sending people to contact the Pingyang army, and Liang Wang did not disappoint Bai Jinxiu and Li Mingrui, and took action soon.
On May 11th of the eighteenth year of Xuanjia, Emperor Jin issued a decree to confer the crown prince on King Liang, and the former prince was abolished as a commoner.
On May 14th of the eighteenth year of Xuanjia, the abolished prince of Jin assassinated the Emperor of Jin when he was summoned by the Emperor of Jin.
On the same day, Li Mao and others knelt down and asked Liang Wang to ascend the throne to preside over the overall situation. At this critical moment, the enthronement ceremony was simplified and scheduled for May 16th.
Liang Wang, who has not yet ascended the throne, issued an order as the emperor after setting the date of enthronement, saying that he had investigated the matter of Concubine Tong in detail. From the text of the censor’s bamboo slips, it is a crime worthy of death, and the second prince’s treason is even more nonsense. It was framed by the late town king Bai Weiting, so Tong Guifei was posthumously named Empress Dowager Rende, and the second prince was posthumously named Badexian King .
Lu Pang and other veterans were escorted to the main hall to listen to the edict, but the officials refused to recognize King Liang as the Emperor of Jin, let alone Concubine Tong as the Empress Dowager. , and even shouted that Liang Wang was a shameless person who conspired against the emperor, killed the king and killed his father, and planted his brother.
Li Mao and others also persuaded Liang Wang that when Liang Wang ascended the throne, he should first assign a posthumous title to the late emperor, and he should not follow Tong Guifei and the second prince first.
A group of veterans objected, but King Liang said that whoever objected would be sent down to accompany his royal father. Li Mao and the others dared not speak again. Equality officials would rather die than obey.
King Liang decided to behead a group of ministers headed by the Prince, Lu Xiang, Minister of War Shen Jingzhong, Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin, and Honglu Temple Minister Dong Qingping on the day of his enthronement on May 16th. Outside the Demen, Bai Jinxiu frightened the rebels in Yuanping and Shuoyang led by Bai Jinxiu.
When Bai Jinxiu got the news that the emperor had collapsed...the king of Liang was about to succeed, he was discussing the siege strategy with the generals. He didn't feel too surprised. Attack the imperial city, otherwise Lu Peng and all the important officials in the court will be in danger, especially Dong Qingping, the Minister of Honglu Temple, who is the eldest sister's uncle.
But how to ensure that the king of Liang wants the life of the prince without hurting the lives of Lu Xiang, Dong Qingping and other courtiers is very difficult to control.
On the contrary, after crying bitterly, several Yuanping generals made up their minds to avenge the emperor and capture King Liang alive.
Sitting under the shade of a tree in Changshouyuan, the eldest princess who taught Bai Jinse how to play chess heard the news. The chess piece in her hand fell, and her face was calm, showing no joy or sorrow. Place pieces on the chessboard.
Lu Ninghua was on the side. She knew that Princess Dachang originally wanted to keep the emperor's life for at least three to five years, but she didn't expect that King Liang would become a variable.
But now, even Lu Ninghua could see the decline of a dynasty, let alone someone like the Eldest Princess.
At this time, King Liang was like a grasshopper after autumn, trying to make as much noise as possible, to prove to the entire Jin country that he had the ability to turn things around, and to prove to the world that he was the master of the Jin country.
"Grandmother..." Bai Jinse didn't rest for a long time, she raised her eyes to look at the Eldest Princess with worry, "Do you want to take a rest?"
The eldest princess shook her head, took out a chess piece from the chess box, raised her eyes and looked at Bai Jinse with a smile: "This is going to be a rest, and there will be more disturbances in the future, and grandma may be so angry get up……"
Although King Liang is good at hiding and pretending to be vicious, Princess Dachang doesn't think that King Liang is a man of great wisdom. Li Mingrui, a think tank next to King Liang, was arrested, and he had to listen to the opinions of the selfish left minister Li Mao. Or just following his temper, maybe something will happen later.
On the 16th day of May in the first year of Yuanhe, the King of Jin's rebellion against Liang ascended the throne in the palace, and the year was named Yuanhe.
On the same day, Bai Jinxiu led his troops to attack Wudemen from four gates at the same time.
King Liang, who had already enthroned, was wearing an imperial robe, a crown on his head, and an imperial sword on his waist. He stood at the entrance of the main hall, condescendingly looking down at the deposed prince, Lu Xiang, Xie Yuchang, and Fu Ruoxi who had been tied up by the imperial army before they were taken to the main hall. , Shen Jingzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Lu Jin, Minister of Dali Temple, and Dong Qingping, Minister of Honglu Temple, and other ministers.
The ministers have been stripped of their official uniforms and handcuffed, and have become prisoners in white clothes.
Seeing King Liang in imperial robes coming out, the deposed prince trembled, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty... please spare me! You have already obtained the throne, so please save my brother's life!"
The waste prince was covered in dirt and mess, his hair was still stained with straw, and his body smelled bad. When he was pushed down from the tower that day, the waste prince was so frightened that he peed on his pants, and he has not been able to change his clothes until now. .
Facing King Liang, the prince had the courage to see death as home for a while, but since he sent Bai Jinxiu to escape that night, the longer the time dragged on, the more the prince regretted it. Escaped with imperial decree.
