Li Yunxiao reined in the horse, making Li Dan look confused.
"What's wrong, Imperial Master? Let's go?"
Li Yunxiao looked at Li Dan who looked like Li Zhi when he was young and asked:
"Don't worry, Li Dan. I'm going to ask you a question. You have to answer me seriously and honestly."
"You ask, as long as I know everything, I will tell you!"
Li Yunxiao nodded and asked: "If you were allowed to become emperor, how would you treat the people and brothers?"
Li Dan's eyes wandered, he pondered for a moment and then whispered: "What do you mean? Do you want to blackmail the emperor to order the princes? How bad is your reputation?"
Having said this, Li Dan waved his hand in confusion again: "Hi~~ No, the emperor's masters are now rumored to have rebelled, so there is no need to threaten the emperor to order the princes, ha!" After saying this, Li Dan was still minding his own business. Smiled a little.
Li Yunxiao said in a serious tone: "What the hell! Answer me!"
Li Dan saw that Li Yunxiao was not joking, and quickly replied seriously:
"The people are water, and officials are boats. Water can carry and capsize boats. I have kept Taizong's instructions in my heart. How could I forget? No matter who I am, I will treat the people well."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask. I have brought many people with me, and they can all prove it."
"As for treating brothers." Li Dan looked at Li Xian and said calmly: "I will also drive him far away."
Neither Li Xian nor Li Xian were very friendly to his younger brother. There was no need for Li Dan to hide his emotions and he wanted to drive Li Xian away.
Li Yunxiao also agreed with this result, at least it was not killing.
Li Yunxiao released a faint inner pressure and said in a low voice: "Is what you said true? Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"
Li Yunxiao pointed at the unconscious Li Xian beside him. His meaning was very clear. He didn't want to be like him, so he spoke truthfully.
Li Dan scratched his cheek and said a little uncertainly: "How about you let me think about it again?"
"No need! Come with me!"
"What do you want to do?"
Li Yunxiao turned his head and looked at Li Dan: "Didn't you say that today is a good day? Then today will be the day!"
"What do you mean? You want to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, right?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Li Yunxiao walked towards the palace with Li Xian silently.
Behind him, Li Dan was at a loss and wanted the soldiers around him to follow, but he had no reason, so he had no choice but to follow him.
After a long time, the sky gradually turned into dusk, and Li Yunxiao and others arrived at Chang'an City.
There were all officers and soldiers standing outside Chang'an City. Among them, Yuan Tiangang stood in the center, obviously waiting for Li Yunxiao to return.
After seeing Li Yunxiao dragging the unconscious Li Xian on horseback, Yuan Tiangang sighed secretly.
Compared with Taizong, these people are really inferior to each other.
When the minister passed by the city gate, he dismounted and came to the vicinity of Yuan Tiangang.
As if she knew what Yuan Tiangang was thinking, she joked: "This emperor is really interesting. Every generation is not as good as the last."
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "Did you hear their conversation?"
"heard it."
"Talk to me and listen."
Jiangchen raised his eyebrows: "Since when did Marshal Yuan like to inquire about these things?"
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "You don't have to say it."
"Don't tell me? I have to tell you!"
Jiangchen was talking to Yuan Tiangang about what she had heard, while walking towards the city.
Along the way, both the common people and the officers and soldiers looked at Li Xian, who was unconscious and lying on the horse, with confused expressions on their faces.
Their responsibility was to protect His Majesty, but they watched helplessly as Li Yunxiao acted arbitrarily and did nothing.
But everyone is not a fool. After some people's propaganda, everyone knows that Li Xian is no longer suitable to be emperor. If he continues to be emperor, it will only disrupt the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the city guards who were following him, Li Yunxiao ordered the commander to send someone to notify the civil and military ministers who were hiding to go to Tai Chi Hall.
Today, he has something important to announce on behalf of His Majesty.
The soldier commander sighed secretly and took the order to report.
In less than two hours, when the sky was getting dark, the ministers all stood outside the Tai Chi Hall, whispering to each other.
"This emperor master won't stop whenever he comes out."
"Yes, the last time he came out, he killed the imperial officials, and now he has tied up His Majesty. I guess today, this Li Tang will become Wu Tang."
"You fart! My eldest...emperor can let Wu Meiniang become the emperor? Are you mentally ill? Just resign when you are old. Don't be blind here and pretend to be honest!"
"Hey? I'm telling the truth, how come I'm sick? Didn't the Imperial Master hold His Majesty hostage? Am I blind, or are you blind?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, when the emperor held him hostage, why didn't he see you act righteously to stop him?"
"Doesn't that mean I can't beat him? If I can beat him, I'll beat him eight times a day!"
"Okay! You are so awesome. I remember this sentence..."
The minister who said he should beat Li Yunxiao eight times felt his throat roll after hearing this, and he stepped forward and tugged on his clothes.
"If I farted just now, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
Li Yunxiao was always paying attention to the bottom, and his lower eyebrows swept over a person's face.
And he heard some of their whispers, and he didn't care what they said.
After coughing twice, silence fell below.
Li Yunxiao took out an edict from his arms and unfolded it, but before he could say anything, Li Dan behind him took the dragon robe from the eunuch's hand, stepped forward and put it directly on Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao was stunned for a while before turning his head to look at Li Dan with a playful smile: "If you act stupid for me, I will beat you!"
Li Dan was slightly startled, then stretched out his hand to pull off the dragon robe and put it into the eunuch's hands.
Li Yunxiao took a deep breath, stood at the front and shouted:
"Now, in the prosperous age, the four seasons are in order, and the heaven and earth are in good health. However, the destiny of the emperor and heaven is constant. Today, the saint is sick, and it is difficult to manage the government. Therefore, today, I pass it on to my younger brother!"
"The prime minister, Li Dan, is far better than me in his literary and military skills, his pure nature, thrift, benevolence and filial piety!"
"Respect the heaven and earth and the clan, love the common people below, have the qualities of Yao and Shun! Given the orders of the sages, consider the country well, and frighten the court, you are worthy of this responsibility!"
"I will work for the benefit of all people in the world and establish a new emperor!"
"You can ascend the throne——!"
After hearing this, all the ministers below were stunned.
Li Dan was also stunned and whispered from the side: "Emperor Master, let's discuss how you can let me take the position. Aren't you throwing me into the fire?"
"From now on, it will be written down in the history books that I stole the throne from my brother. Isn't this going to be infamy for thousands of years?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head helplessly. He was about to become an emperor, but he still cared about this reputation.
"As long as you can manage the government wisely and make the people live comfortably, these things don't matter to them."
"Normal people, who cares whether you are the emperor? Who is the emperor? As long as they live a good life, they don't care whether the person sitting on the throne is a human being."
Li Dan said with a bitter look on his face: "The metaphor of the Imperial Master is really... really good..."
Li Yunxiao continued: "As for the officials, they will all say that I forced you, so you don't need to care."
After finishing his words, Li Yunxiao looked at the eunuch beside him: "Wear a dragon robe for Your Majesty!"
"yes!"
A group of slaves came from behind and pulled Li Dan into the hall.
