    "Your Majesty, I have made friends with some soldiers of the Forbidden Army these days, and inspired them with loyalty. They will definitely not sit back and watch your father suffer like this An Yuanguang." An Yuanguang was sent to find a way to invite hundreds of officials into the palace.  , now only Li Qiu and Yuan Zai are left in the main hall.  Li Qiu was a little resigned to his fate, but Yuan Zai didn't want to give up yet.  "Really? You can try it." Li Qiu looked up at the sky with dull eyes. The palace was extremely luxurious, but would it still belong to him in the future?  Yuan Zai really doesn¡¯t want to give up. His father-in-law, Wang Zhongsi, has some influence in the army and has a good relationship with Ye Chang, so he can also talk to some people in the Forbidden Army.  After sneaking out of the palace, he looked for people furtively and learned that several generals he knew were indeed in the palace, so he asked the young eunuch to gather them.  These people gave him face, and they were all here.  Yuan Zai accused him of loyalty, but everyone smiled: "Shilang Yuan, when you talk about loyalty, which one of us is unfaithful and unjust, and which of the people outside is unfaithful and unjust?" "If it is loyalty, what?  Can you just sit back and watch your Majesty being trapped?" "Where is your Majesty trapped?" The generals laughed even harder: "To tell you the truth, things are fine now. If the people really see blood, do you think things will still happen?  Is it as simple as it is now?" "You" "We are not fools. What good can we do by following you, Minister Yuan? If you have achieved such great achievements as King Wei, you will be jealous." Everyone was talking about this.  He understood that he had lost the hearts of the people, and Li Qiu, the "Emperor", did not get much respect from these Forbidden Army generals.  He even knew that these officers had long been warned by An Yuanguang: This dispute was a dispute between the emperor and the people, and they should be neutral. Even if they chose sides, they should avoid the use of force as much as possible.  Of course, An Yuanguang would not act without aim. Yuan Zai knew very well that this order not to use force must have been issued by Ye Chang.  Then it is obvious that Ye Chang just sat back and watched Li Qiu fall into danger, and maybe even pushed him.  "Thisis all Ye Chang's conspiracy?" Yuan Zai murmured.  He murmured to himself, over there, the important officials of the court had gathered together.  However, the place where these important officials gathered was not the imperial palace, but the Xingqing Palace, which had been extremely deserted since the fifteenth year of Tianbao.  This is a court meeting that leaves behind Emperor Li Qiu and his cronies.  "Everyone has seen it. This is the situation. Let's discuss what to do now." Wei Jiansu said weakly.  This court meeting was strongly requested by Dugu Ming. As the prime minister and a minister of Tuogu, he could only serve as the convener.  He knew very well that Li Qiu was also dissatisfied with him. After Ye Chang resigned, it would be his turn next.  Therefore, during these days when dealing with government affairs, he remained mostly silent, barely uttering a word, and only doing what Li Qiu told him to do.  Now that Dugu Ming has requested this meeting, it is clearly Ye Chang who has taken action.  "Ahem, I have a few words to say. Before I say anything, let me explain that there has been no movement in Tailing so far." Dugu Ming coughed and said, "Everyone should understand what I mean."  There was no movement in the mausoleum. In other words, it was not under Ye Chang's instruction?  "Let me also say that in fact, early this morning, after receiving the news that people were taking to the streets, the palace sent people to Tailing, a group of forbidden troops, with the purpose of preventing King Wei from returning to the capital." Someone then said, "Everyone is  They were shocked, and many officials exclaimed: "This happened, what about King Wei?" "King Wei is at Tailing, and there is no movement." Dugu Ming had to repeat.  Everyone looked at each other, but Wei Jiansu sighed.  He already knew what Ye Chang meant.  Ye Chang is letting the ministers choose whether to choose him or Li Qiu. If they choose Li Qiu, Ye Chang will not do anything else. He will just let the current situation go and not come forward to deal with it.  As a result, they and Li Qiu were swallowed up by the angry people.  Although Ye Chang was playing with fire, he vividly let them understand that water can carry a boat or capsize it.  Among the ministers and noble relatives present, about one-third had direct interests with Ye Chang: they had shares in the three major commercial banks, or were involved in Ye Chang's various industries.  The remaining one-third, although they have no direct interest in Ye Chang, are actively involved in the emerging industry and mining. Therefore, they do not agree with Li Qiu's "patent" policy. Only the remaining one-third, originally  After watching with a cold eye, I realized that this is a big era, and anyone who watches with a cold eye will inevitably be involved in it.  "Everyone has to understand. If it really gets to the point where the Chinese people riot, no one will be able to escape. If we don't stop at this time, we will suffer the chaos." I don't know who said it.  When the conversation got to this point, someone finally suggested: "The emperor's lack of justice can be compared to Changyi, Wei Xiang is a minister who has entrusted himself, and the late emperor relied on Huo Guang."It is time to abolish the establishment." As soon as these words came out, although everyone felt a bit harsh, no one thought it was wrong. In the final analysis, although Li Qiu and the royal family, although it cannot be said that they have lost their hearts, after the Li Heng Rebellion, they no longer have any hope.  The trust of the ministers and the people "Who do you want to establish?  "Someone asked. "Only King Wei can decide the matter. King Wei should be asked to return to Chang'an to preside over important affairs.  " Another person said. This time, most people looked at the speaker with blank eyes. If Ye Chang wanted to abolish the establishment, why would he avoid Tailing? He clearly didn't want to bear this reputation, so he got out of the matter.  , Of course, if everyone does not satisfy him, it is hard to say whether he will jump back to the court. Everyone talked and discussed several candidates, all of whom were the grandchildren of Li Longji, and they were all picks.  The kind of child who is only a few years old and no more than ten years old. Seeing that the candidate is gradually becoming clear, Dugu Ming has remained silent. Wei Jiansu knew that he was the agent of Ye Chang's opinion to a certain extent, so he asked: "  Dugu Prince Consort is a clan relative and an old minister, so why doesn't he say a word?  " "I wonder if there will be another trouble like this in ten or twenty years.  "Dugu Ming said. "Everyone was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood. No matter how young the candidate they choose is, they will eventually become adults in ten or twenty years. After they become adults, they will eventually find ways to gather power. By that time,  Will such a riot happen again? It can be said that as long as there is a struggle for power between the emperor and Ye Chang, this kind of thing is inevitable. "In Dugu Gong's opinion, who should be the emperor?"  "When Wei Jiansu saw this situation, he was too lazy to guess anymore and asked directly. "Who is the emperor?  Naturally, it should be the blood of the late emperor.  "Dugu Ming said. "The bloodline of the late emperoryou mean" The candidates Dugu Ming mentioned were of course not the ones proposed by the ministers. The first thing Wei Jiansu and the ministers thought of was Li Heng's two sons.  King Guangping and King Jianning were implicated by Li Heng and were deposed as common people. Although they were the most outstanding among Li Longji's grandsons, they lost their inheritance rights. "Isn't Princess Shou'an a descendant of the late emperor?  Dugu Ming said vigorously: "Apart from Princess Shou'an, who else can be the emperor?"  " As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their expressions: "How can this be done?  "How can this be done? Although Princess Shou'an is as good as a man, she is of Li Longji's blood, but she is a woman, how can she be the emperor? The emperor is also called the emperor, the emperor is the son of the emperor, and the son of the emperor is "What, you  Don't you think it's appropriate?  "Dugu Ming's eyes were bright: "It's not like there has never been a female emperor in this dynasty." With one sentence, everyone choked back. It's not like there has never been a female emperor in the Tang Dynasty. "Wu Zetian, as a concubine in the future, can still be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  , or even in the Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, why can't Shou'an, the daughter of Li, be the female emperor? If Shou'an is the empress, if Ye Chang has any objections, it will be a matter between them and their husbands, at least it will not be publicized.  "In this case, King Wei can be the auxiliary king and become the two saints together with His Majesty, then the world will be settled and both China and foreign countries will be safe.  "Dugu Ming said again: "Other than that, there is no other good idea." Everyone looked at each other, feeling that their minds were open. They didn't know whether to feel cheerful or trembling. After a while, Wei Jiansu sighed: "This matter  It is not for us and other foreign ministers to decide, it should be decided by the clan itself.  "The ministers' eyes lit up. They didn't want to be the person who set the precedent. It would be best to let the royal family decide this kind of thing themselves. "Everyone's eyes turned to the family member surnamed Li.  The clan members all looked ugly. At this time, the clan clan surnamed Li really didn¡¯t want to be pushed to the forefront. Five years ago, Li Heng killed him once, and then An Lushan killed him again. Later, An Lushan and Shi Siming were in Chang¡¯an City.  During the battle, the few remnants were killed again. Therefore, not even one out of ten members of the Li clan are still alive. Otherwise, it would not be Li Qiu's turn to survive the butcher's knife. They will naturally have their own.  Their survival skills were originally to shrink back and hide behind others, but now they are pushed to the front desk, and they are all covered in cold sweat. Under the gaze of everyone, they can no longer avoid it. "There is no delay, and we must discuss this matter quickly.  to quell public anger.  "At this time, Wei Jiansu became active. "You, you disloyal and unjust people." After a while, a clan member finally stood up and cursed with righteousness: "Dugu Ming, you are the Li family's fault.  Son-in-law, who is in a high position, how dare he make such a treasonous and unethical suggestion?  " Dugu Ming looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "In that case, I will make you the emperor, how about it?  "The clan's face suddenly fell down: "Youyou" "Now that the clan is withering, we need loyal and benevolent people like you to turn the tide. If you don't step forward, then who will take on this important responsibility?  ¡± The clan¡¯s courage just now was suddenly revealed.With his body fading away, he looked at his fellow clan members. There were more than twenty clan members present, but none of them looked at him.  He sighed: "That's the case, that's the case I have nothing to say." "This matter cannot be decided by our clans" "If that's the case, then please ask Zong Zheng to gather people and elect one person to be the emperor."  "Okay." Dugu Ming said calmly, "Although it seems a bit childish, in this situation, is there any better choice?"  Under today's situation, even if it is a child's play, it must be done to the fullest. Therefore, Zongzheng has no choice but to send people to summon the clan.  The Li Tang clan was killed several times, and not many of them were left. Even if they were all summoned, there would only be less than a hundred people.  When they learned what the ministers had discussed, they all looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to deal with the matter. Instead, they secretly cursed in their hearts. Originally, they were outside the matter, but Zong Zheng had pulled them here and had to intervene.  Seeing that everyone wanted to delay again, Dugu Ming said sternly: "Everyone, hundreds of thousands of people are surrounding the palace now. If there is a slight delay, it will be civil unrest. At first, King Li of Zhou was unruly, but some people rioted and the people rushed into the palace.  , the clan was robbed and slaughtered, and blood flowed everywhere. You must think clearly. If you don't make a decision and the public anger gets out of control, there is no guarantee that the city of Chang'an will not turn into a sea of ??blood again. By then, how many of you here will survive? " He is so helpless?  The undisguised threats forced the clans to face up to this problem.  The clan had a secret discussion, and naturally the ministers did not participate. They all left the main hall and waited for the results outside.  After a long time, crying came from inside, and everyone knew that the matter was settled.  Soon I saw several corpses being carried out, and the clan members who came out all looked solemn.  "How, what's the result?" At this time, Wei Jiansu couldn't wait to greet him and asked.  "After consensus among the clan, we would like to honor Princess Shouan as the supreme" Hearing what Zong Zheng said, Wei Jiansu breathed a sigh of relief. This matter finally came to an end.  But before he could speak, Zong Zheng said again: "I am just the legitimate son of Princess Shouan. I must change my surname to Li in order to continue the line of succession of the late emperor." Upon hearing this, Wei Jiansu felt that this condition was nothing, so he looked at Dugu Ming.  Dugu Ming sneered twice: "How can we decide this matter?" "If you don't agree to this condition, I will just die." Zongzheng said expressionlessly.  "Dugu Gong" "Needless to say, they need to understand one thing. Now it is Li who begs His Highness Shou'an to ascend the throne, not His Highness Shou'an who is begging them." Dugu Ming sneered: "King Wei  Kindhearted, if you are more conscious, King Wei will not treat you poorly. On the contrary, is King Wei a person who is threatened by others? "Zongzheng was silent, the condition he just made was just his last effort.  Now that Dugu Ming's plan has appeared, shattering their last illusions, he has no other choice but to be silent.  The discussion here has been decided, but over there in the palace, they are still waiting hard for the ministers to come to help.  From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, except for three or two kittens, no important minister came.  However, in the evening, I heard earth-shattering cheers from the people surrounding the palace. Then, the eunuch who was watching on the palace wall came back with a face full of joy: "Saint, I am very happy, I am very happy, those rioters have begun to disperse."  "What, really?" Li Qiu couldn't believe it when he heard the news.  With no important minister coming over for so long, he had long been in despair, thinking that today would be his end. Now that he suddenly learned that the mob had dispersed, Yu Jian climbed up the wall and looked out.  Sure enough, outside the palace wall, the people who had gathered together were now dispersing. However, although they dispersed, they cheered again and again, as if something great had happened.  "What's going on?" Li Qiu thought with confusion, and then gritted his teeth: "No matter what happens, I will remember that I will eventually settle this account with these rioters."
