New White Snake Asking Immortals

Chapter 141: Machinations

The situation in the court is confusing.

Several princes denounced the ten crimes of Chunyang Palace at the regular court meeting held by the six assistant ministers. The princes and their vassals who were targeted by these princes everywhere tried to argue that the majority overwhelmed the minority. The Chunyang Palace was ruthless, and there were even scholars from the Taiyuan Academy who signed the Wanmin Letter and knelt down outside the palace gate to worship the emperor.

All the layout was completed in one night, and I have to say that these people are really powerful.

Ministers spoke indignantly.

"Chunyang Palace never pays taxes on its property in Chang'an City! It is indeed the number one tax evasion!"

"That old grandson's leg was broken by those hateful Taoists just wandering around the street! It's so unreasonable! I'm so angry!"

"It's more than that. Many people saw with their own eyes those Taoists killing people in the street. It's really abominable."

"The heaven and the earth are upright and the people want it, and it cannot be allowed to be lawless."

"..."

Except for the faint opposition, the court is almost one-sided. Those ministers who did not choose a side to remain neutral realized that things had gone off course, and the struggle among the princes had affected the foundation of the rule. Wouldn't it be a big accident if it continued like this?

Several ministers who noticed something was wrong looked at each other, and then stepped forward to speak in silence, unlike usual.

"Cough cough... I have been feeling cold recently, and I beg the Minister of State to allow me to go home and recuperate."

The sudden request for leave stunned many ministers, and then they looked at the colleague thoughtfully, and some of them figured out how to get out of this vortex.

"Your highnesses, my lords, my uncle in my family is still expected to allow me to return to my hometown to observe my filial piety."

Another minister asked for leave.

The reason for asking for leave is very strange. If the parents die and return to their hometown to observe their filial piety, it makes sense. Even if the uncle dies, he must go back to observe his filial piety. In this way, the elderly in the family will not have to go to court every day to observe their filial piety at home. People who know it well have not revealed ,it is more than words.

So, in the next few days, the people of Chang'an City saw the convoys of many wealthy families leaving.

Soon, the official document will be issued.

The court official documents issued by the auxiliary ministers were sent to the Chunyang resident, and the people in Chunyang were restricted to move out of the resident within ten days and return the land to the court.

The elder in charge of Chang'an didn't say much, and after receiving the official document, he sent a letter to Huashan.

the next day.

The people of Chunyang Palace packed up their things and left Chang'an City according to the head's order. After the Chunyang convoy, there were many aristocratic families who left the city with dozens of horse-drawn carriages and hundreds of guards. Some people said that those who left were stupid, and some He went home without saying a word and asked his family members to return to their hometown.

Chang'an City, which was originally full of flowers and flowers, suddenly became much deserted.

Those princes who proposed to let Chunyang Palace leave suddenly found that things seemed to be getting out of control...

Daming Palace.

The tired prince knelt in front of the Emperor Tang's bed.

"My ministers are useless, the Chunyang Immortal Elders are leaving Chang'an today."

The emperor's bedroom became quiet, and the crown prince could even clearly hear his father's breathing that seemed to be blocked by phlegm. The pungent smell of medicine in the room made him want to sneeze.

After a long time, a weak voice came from the hospital bed.

"Since the establishment of Li Tang, Chunyang Palace has been the god of protecting the country. It has protected me from demons and demons, and protected Li Tang from being prosperous."

"Ahem..."

"Every year, my royal family only donates rice and food to live on, and never spends a lot of money, ahem... the world is my Li Tang world, but Confucianism uses literature to violate the law, chivalry uses martial arts to violate the prohibition, and those cultivating immortals regard themselves as very high and disobey the law. Restraining, disturbing the secular world and harming the common people, fortunately, there is a strong suppression by the Chunyang Palace to restore the world to the world, and there are three chapters to strictly prohibit monks from disturbing the people, so the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

After talking so much, the emperor felt very tired, so he took a short break and continued to speak.

"The courtiers in the court have enjoyed peace for a long time, and they have long since forgotten the ancestral teachings. Those rebellious sons hooked up with the devil's door and thought that no one knew. Did you know that there is no impenetrable wall in the world?

The Momen has a strange and violent personality, and pursues freedom and unrestraint, so how can he try his best to stabilize the world and lure wolves into the house. "

"Ahem..."

The emperor, who talked too much and coughed, was suffering from heart and lung pain, and waved his hand to stop the prince who wanted to go forward.

"Chang'an will be chaotic in the future. If you can't stabilize the situation, then take the young princes and princesses in the palace to Huashan. I have already written to Li Xiangyan, the head of Chunyang, to arrange a retreat for you. From now on... just hide your name Be a rich man."

"Father..."

The prince was in a hurry, he was really reluctant to part with the supreme position.

"Go on... I'm tired..."

"Yes……"

The prince saluted and left the emperor's palace full of unwillingness.

The weather is getting colder, the expensive yellow robe on the body does not seem to bring warmth, the cold wind blows on the face and cools the heart, the women in the harem gather at the door of the palace to make noise, the maids and eunuchs always stare at the door of the palace as if they want to visit the old emperor inside Whether he is still alive or not, the Daming Palace is getting more and more chaotic.

…………

The seventh day of the winter month.

It was cold and snowy, and Tang Huang, who was seriously ill, couldn't bear the sudden drop in temperature and went to the funeral.

White curtains were hung inside the palace, everyone was dressed in plain clothes, bell towers and temple bells were ringing continuously, martial law was spread throughout Chang'an City, no banquets, drinking and entertainment, no marriages, brothels, music workshops and Goulan were closed, and the city guards were under martial law and no one was allowed to do whatever they wanted Going out, a group of people hid in their homes and looked at the soldiers wearing Xiao soldiers on the street from the cracks in the windows and doors.

The death of the emperor brought chaos and disorder. After the death of the emperor, the helpless women cried heartbreakingly. There were also a few imperial concubines with strong backgrounds who were neither happy nor worried. They were trapped in this deep palace all year round. Haggard, they may no longer have illusions about so-called emotions.

The prince is too weak to convince the crowd. A group of princes who seized the throne and the ministers of the court gathered to denounce the prince's immorality.

The old emperor's body was still in the main hall, and no one was guarding him except for a few old eunuchs.

I don't know who was the first to draw the knife and cut people first, but the chaos suddenly started. The guards of the princes and the ministers took the lead, followed by the guards loyal to all parties and the Imperial Forest Army.

The emperor was still able to suppress the powerful families, but after he died, he turned into a hard corpse.

A bloody incident occurred in the palace, which soon spread outside the Daming Palace...

The bell tolled 30,000 times, and the city walls and temple bells kept ringing non-stop. At the time when the death knell was all over the sky, many supporters of the prince teamed up to attack the Prince's Mansion and even broke into the Daming Palace. The emperor ordered the young prince and princess to leave and survive, but unfortunately, no one would give up that position.

Early eighth morning.

The prince and more than 200 guards under him were beheaded and killed outside the Daming Palace by the rebels.

When the prince, the target of the alliance, died, many princes and their affiliated forces turned against each other, and a larger scale of chaos swept across Chang'an. The thousand-year-old man was not defeated by foreign enemies, but was ravaged by internal wars.

Soon, chaos spread to several states and counties around Chang'an, until the princes woke up and everything was out of control...
