Everyone in Hanyuan Hall was busy adapting to the situation and singing praises to Li Yunze.
However, at this time, Li Yunze didn't care about these nobles at all, and left Hanyuan Hall neatly and headed straight for Xuanwu Gate.
Listening to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, all the way to the gate tower of Xuanwu Gate, everything you see is the bright starry fire, like a bright galaxy.
There seemed to be an endless number of people in Chang'an City, holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other, making constant noise.
"Protect and support the prince, protect and support the prince~~~"
After hearing the news that night, more than 100,000 people gradually gathered outside Xuanwu Gate.
They had endured it for too long, and now they finally had an outlet to vent their emotions.
Many of the people in the crowd were developed through the contact between Wang Gui and others. Each of them was holding a weapon and wearing armor, and they were brightly colored under the light of the fire.
For Li Yunze, these people in front of him are the real Tang Dynasty.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty favored martial arts, and almost all the young men under the military system had received military training and had experience in guarding the border.
The Song Dynasty claimed to have a 70% victory rate when fighting wars, but most of them were defensive battles, and many of the data were based on the Xixia and even the peasant uprising armies.
However, the strength of the Tang Dynasty was to fight on the enemy's territory. The opponent could not even get close to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. This was an essential difference.
The reason why this was possible was the deep foundation of the Tang Dynasty where almost all the people were soldiers under the imperial military system.
When Li Yunze's figure appeared on the Xuanwu Gate tower with countless torches lit, the armed people below cheered and shouted for him crazily.
This was all obtained by Li Yunze with his reputation of being devoted to the people, his long-term support and support, and his promise to exempt himself from exorbitant taxes and redistribute the land.
Without these, the common people would go crazy and risk their heads to rebel against the prince.
Of course, Li Sanlang's many outrageous actions that ignored the people, which led to the loss of public morale and military morale, were also important reasons.
The red-faced Li Yunze waved to the people below, triggering a frenzy like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Countless people responded enthusiastically to Li Yunze and cheered for him, thinking that their efforts had been rewarded and that they could finally live a good life after all the hardships.
If this were a time traveler under normal circumstances, it is estimated that there is a high probability that the previous promise to the people would not be fulfilled.
The reason is simple. This will offend a large number of interest groups and cause continuous chaos.
The princes and princesses of the Tang Dynasty all had their own personal soldiers. The noble families could raise their troops with a single shout. Needless to say, they were all families of martial arts!
Once chaos breaks out, the consequences will be very serious, even shaking the foundation of the emperor.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, compromising with these people and gaining support is the option with the least loss and the fastest way to gain power.
Moreover, at this time, there were already signs of separatist rule in vassal towns. Jiedu envoys from various places held great power and were inextricably linked to the noble children of the noble families of the DPRK.
Once chaos breaks out, it will inevitably lead to catastrophe.
In order to stabilize these people, compromise and transactions are inevitable choices.
These are all helpless things, after all, the strength of the interest group is too huge.
But Li Yunze is a loser.
He has time and space in hand, so he naturally does not need to compromise with interest groups.
The worst case scenario is just tearing off the face.
Looking at the countless people supporting him outside, Li Yunze, who looked slightly excited, took a deep breath and slowly raised the tin trumpet in his hand.
"Gentlemen, great things have been accomplished!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the people outside the city gradually became quiet.
Before the incident, I was really thinking about everything, thinking about what would happen after the incident happened.
But now that I learned that it had really happened, I didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Wang Gui, who was wearing armor in the crowd, immediately roared, "Prince~~~Long live! Long live! Long live~~~"
Someone gave guidance at the beginning, just like opening a flood release hole in the Qingtian Dam.
Countless people immediately responded to "Long live the prince, long live, long live the prince~~~"
The sound spread farther and farther and louder.
Like rolling thunder, waves spread from in front of Xuanwu Gate to the entire Chang'an City.
In an instant, the wind surged, as if the entire city of Chang'an was echoing this roar.
The sound was so majestic and loud that it even vaguely passed through the West Neiyuan and entered the Hanyuan Hall.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They really never thought that those common people could cause such a huge wave.
"Alas~~~"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Emperor Taizong, you will not deceive me."
The worried Li Linfu was still worried even though Chang Sleeve Shanwu successfully jumped from Li Sanlang's sunken ship to Li Yunze's ship.
He is so smart and can read people so accurately.
He could finally see clearly that the prince was really wise and mighty, and he was really like the reincarnation of Emperor Taizong.
In the face of such a powerful emperor, if he wants to maintain his previous power and become a powerful minister, it is just a fool's errand.
Now that I can save my life and successfully jump off the ship, it is already a blessing. What more is there than a bicycle?
Looking up at the sky outside the palace, Li Linfu looked at the emperor's relatives and nobles who were under house arrest in the palace and told them, "Everyone, get ready. The abdication ceremony will be held immediately after dawn."
He Zhizhang, who had been promoted to Minister of Rites, asked hesitantly, "Prime Minister Li, do you want to invite Your Majesty to the abdication ceremony? Your Majesty will not be here during the abdication ceremony. I'm afraid this is against the rules."
Hearing this nonsense, Li Linfu simply rolled his eyes and didn't even bother to explain.
When a large army enters the palace, do you tell them the rules?
If the prince really followed the rules, he would be an abandoned prince now!
The sky gradually turned white, and Chang'an City, which had been noisy all night, finally ushered in the bright dawn.
Yang Guozhong and others organized many people to make a large amount of hot food using the stoves of each house and sent it to the palace, providing free meals to everyone.
Even the common people who contributed the least were still shouting to protect the prince all night long. A hot meal was nothing.
Gao Jinzhong led his men and went door to door, knocking on the doors of noble families and ministers.
In the past, the concierge, who always had his eyes set high above his head and could not even think of entering without a red envelope, saw Gao Jinzhong who came to call his master, and everyone nodded and bowed to greet him with a smile on his face.
Those who did not go to Hanyuan Hall for the banquet last night were all called to the Ancestral Temple to the east of Yongning Gate.
No one dares not to attend such a thing as the abdication ceremony.
If you don't go, you don't recognize the legitimacy of the new emperor, and you are going against the new emperor.
If this is the case, let alone the new emperor sending soldiers to express condolences and ask you when you are going to die.
Just say that those people in Chang'an City who were very enthusiastic and thought that they were involved in such a big thing would have their homes ransacked.
Even those who were really sick in bed had to ask their servants to carry the bed to the Ancestral Temple.
At three o'clock in the morning, there was already a sea of people inside and outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Royal relatives, ministers, nobles, and people from aristocratic families gathered here.
Tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City were also allowed to stand beside these nobles of the past and witness this moment that will surely go down in history.
The specific process of the abdication ceremony is similar to that of the new emperor's enthronement.
Except that the Supreme Emperor was 'sick' and couldn't come, this was a ceremony for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Li Yunze has participated in too many ceremonies like this and is undoubtedly experienced.
There's nothing much to say, just follow the procedures that have been agreed upon long ago.
The solemn bells rang throughout Chang'an City, and naturally reached the imperial palace.
Li Sanlang, who was under house arrest in Concubine Wu Hui's palace, stayed up all night and walked around the palace with red eyes.
He kept muttering, 'You are a traitor, you are a traitor~~~'
The throne he had fought for all his life became someone else's from today on.
This heavy blow was even heavier than the death of all his sons.
"If I had known this, I should have painted this traitor on the wall!"
At this moment, this may be what Li Sanlang regrets the most.
The bells outside came in one after another, and Li Sanlang knew what it meant. The bells represented that he had withdrawn from the stage of history, and it was like a death knell that made him extremely angry.
But there was nothing he could do at this moment.
There was no one in Nuo Da's palace, and there were all soldiers outside the door.
He had tried to bribe the soldiers with promises before, but the emperor responded with Douda's fist!
Covering his blue cheeks, Li Sanlang was spinning around like an ant on a hot pot.
At this moment, the palace door was opened.
Li Sanlang trembled, subconsciously thinking that the traitor wanted to sacrifice his life to the heaven.
Turning around in horror, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
"Lux~~~"
Gao Lishi, who looked equally haggard, staggered over and saluted, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here."
Li Sanlang, who was filled with anger and fear, finally met one of his own.
He hurriedly stepped forward to support Gao Lishi and asked eagerly, "What's going on outside?"
Gao Lishi smiled bitterly. He came to the emperor desperately, but the emperor didn't even ask. He only cared about his throne. Otherwise, how could he be the emperor?
"Your Majesty, the matter has been decided."
Gao Lishi decided to let Li Sanlang understand the truth of the matter and stop having impossible dreams. "Everyone inside and outside Chang'an City has surrendered to the prince's command. No one opposes or raises an army."
"As for the foreign vassals, there may be people who are grateful for His Majesty's kindness and try to send troops to rescue him."
Having said this, Gao Lishi looked at Li Sanlang's expectant eyes and continued, "But I feel that this is not a good thing."
Li Sanlang was puzzled, "Why is this? It's not a good thing that a loyal minister is willing to lead troops to rescue me?"
"His Majesty."
Gao Lishi said earnestly, "If there really is a town that sends troops to the King of Qindu, it would be fine if we lose, but if we really win, do you think the prince will still keep your majesty?"
These words stunned Li Sanlang.
If it were him, if such a time came, he would definitely kill the king of Qin first, and lose his reputation to see what kind of king you are.
After thinking about this, Li Sanlang sat on the ground slumped, his eyes blank, "What should I do?"
While he was talking, Li Sanlang's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
He had been drinking all night, and it was already past noon. Li Sanlang, who hadn't eaten yet, finally felt hungry.
"Go and get some food." Li Sanlang waved his hand habitually and said, "There is no need to arrange a lot of things. There are more than twenty dishes. The most important thing is to get some steamed lamb. I am so hungry that I can eat a whole head." lamb."
Gao Lishi, who was smiling bitterly, bowed down and asked for food from the soldiers guarding outside, speaking with the utmost sincerity.
It's a pity that the soldiers just looked at him coldly, not to mention giving him food, and didn't even say a word in response.
"Does this traitor want to starve me to death?"
Li Sanlang trembled at the thought of this terrible possibility.
As time passed, the feeling of hunger in my stomach became stronger and stronger.
When the sky gradually turned red, Li Sanlang sat on the ground without any image, his eyes were distracted.
It had been many years since he had experienced the feeling of hunger. The last time he had experienced it was when he was exiled as a child.
While thinking wildly, I heard footsteps.
Looking up, Li Yunze, wearing a dragon robe, was standing outside the palace gate.
Li Sanlang, who was full of anger, didn't know what to say at this time.
However, Gao Lishi saw Kai and took the initiative to ask Li Yunze for some food.
Li Yunze nodded, turned his head and motioned to the people around him, "Send it over."
It was only then that Li Sanlang saw clearly that the person who came over with a few biscuits was actually Mei Fei Jiang Caiping!
