In late December of the first year of Dashun Dongping and Daxing, Chongqing Prefecture.
The news that Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and the bad news that Emperor Dongxing had abandoned Chongqing Mansion came one after another, like two bolts from the blue falling on Kunming, the plateau capital of the Dashun Dynasty. The spring city of Kunming, which always seemed bright and clear in the past, suddenly became filled with dark clouds, making people breathless!
Dashun, why is it so bad?
There are very few people on the streets of Kunming, and everyone is squatting at home uneasily. The sun shines down on the plateau, and the bustling streets of Kunming in the past are deserted. Only the Long March soldiers from Myanmar patrol the streets.
These Dashun warriors with the best equipment, the highest pay, and the strongest combat effectiveness all had their eyebrows furrowed, and they all had expressions of concern for the country and the people.
These days, their superiors tell them stories about the Maweipo Incident and the death of Concubine Yang every day... These Long March soldiers are not illiterate, they are the second and third generation of the government! Those who have studied in school also know what happened to the Maweipo Incident!
The Dashun Dynasty imitated the Tang Dynasty, and of course paid special attention to the history of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the second and third generations of these mansions knew that Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty doted on Concubine Yang, re-appointed the treacherous Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, and condoned the traitor An Lushan, and finally caused the "Yu Yang Miao" The agitation came, and the songs of colorful feathers were startled. Smoke and dust arose from the tower of Jiuzhong City, and thousands of horses rode southwest. The green flowers swayed and stopped, more than a hundred miles west of the capital. The six armies did not move, but they had no choice but to turn and die in front of the horses. .....”
However, when the officers of the Changzheng Prefecture told the story of the Maweipo Incident during this period, the protagonist was not Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, nor Concubine Yang, let alone An Lushan, but Li Heng, the most filial son of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty!
Fortunately for the Tang Dynasty, Li Heng, a filial son, came to the throne in Lingwu at a time of crisis and shouldered the huge task of reviving the Tang Dynasty! Under his wise leadership, the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty was continued, and the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang were recovered... Therefore, Li Heng was the second wisest emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty after Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and his filial piety He also surpassed Li Shimin and was the most filial son of the Tang Dynasty - Li Shimin was the second filial son of the Tang Dynasty! These two are both unspeakably filial sons!
After telling the story of the filial son of the Tang Dynasty, the officers of the Long March Army also told the story of the first filial son of the Ming Dynasty for the first time!
It turns out that the current Emperor Hongxing of the Ming Dynasty is also a filial son who can be compared with Li Shimin and Li Heng!
If he hadn't led troops into the palace and pursued Chongzhen as a filial son with a sword, the Ming Dynasty would have been gone... Now Dashun rules the world!
So the Tang Dynasty can be revived because the Tang Dynasty has a filial son Li Heng, the Ming Dynasty can be revived because the Ming Dynasty has a filial son Zhu Cihong, and what should Dashun do if it wants to be revived? Should I also have a filial son?
If so...who among the Dashun dynasty looks most like a dutiful son now?
This is a multiple-choice question for the soldiers of the Long March. Of course, there is only one alternative answer, and of course it is Li Jicheng, the prince of Fujun in Dashun!
On December 22nd, the officers of the Long March Army began to gather their subordinates early in the morning, took out the "Encouragement Form" and calligraphy brushes they had prepared, and asked everyone to sign on it!
Before signing, of course, some mobilization is indispensable.
"Brothers, tell me, who is the best to our Long March soldiers?"
"The prince is the best to you!"
"Have you all gotten rich following the Crown Prince?"
"It's all been posted!"
"So now our Dashun Dynasty is in danger, tell us, who can save our Dashun Dynasty?"
"Only the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince can save Dashun!"
"Okay! Here is a "Persuasion Form" for you all to sign... Let's persuade the Crown Prince to become the emperor together!"
"Okay! Let's persuade the crown prince to become the emperor together!"
"Long live the prince! Long live! Long live!"
"Long live......"
Soon, more than 15,000 Long March soldiers stationed in Kunming City signed the "Letter to Encourage Entry". After signing, everyone did not stop there. Instead, under the leadership of the officers, they carried flintlocks, matchlocks and spears (after the expansion of the Long March soldiers, they were a mixture of flintlocks, matchlocks and spears), and formed One by one, companies and columns marched toward Wuhua Mountain outside the north gate of Kunming City!
They went to "petition"!
The prince must take a step further today...
On Wuhua Mountain, the two political kings Sun Kewang and Liu Zongmin who stayed in Kunming, as well as Song Xiance, who had just returned from Longgu, Yunnan, as well as the elders of the Dashun clan, the Empress Dowager Gao, and Li Zicheng's younger brother Changle King Li Zijing, also Li Laiheng's queen, Sun Shi, was all dumbfounded. At this time, everyone was crowded in the Jinluan Hall, and everyone was so anxious that their faces were covered with sweat. Especially Sun Kewang and his daughter Queen Sun were so anxious that they cried!
Of course they both knew that the Maweipo Incident was being spread among the soldiers of the Long March in Kunming... If they were right, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty would be Li Laiheng, the emperor of Dongxing who is now dead. Li Laiheng, the most filial son of the Tang Dynasty, Heng is the current Prince of Fujun in Dashun, Li Jicheng. There is still a shortage of Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong, who can he be? Aren’t they Queen Sun and Sun Kewang?
This can be fatal!
None of Sun Kewang's direct soldiers can fight. The ones in the Daxi line who can fight are Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, and the one who is good at planning is Liu Wenxiu... Sun Kewang is a "general manager", and at most he can engage in some palace struggles. I originally thought that by taking advantage of Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Queen Sun, and several of Li Laiheng's youngest sons who were leading troops to fight against Li Ji, they might be able to change the prince.
But who would have thought that Li Jicheng was also a filial son of Li Shimin, Li Heng and Zhu Cihong!
His father's life or death was uncertain, so he was busy forcing the palace to seize the throne, and he also had to stage the drama of Maweipo... What should he do? Li Jicheng has tens of thousands of Long March soldiers in Kunming!
"The Empress Dowager, the King of Han, and the King of Changle, please save Er and the Queen! Er Sun is expected to be loyal to the Dashun Dynasty, and he is definitely not Yang Guozhong! Er's daughter is not Yang Guifei... Look at her. None of them, not that pretty, not fat!"
Empress Dowager Gao kept sighing... She was not Li Jicheng's great-grandmother, and after Li Zicheng's death, she, the Empress Dowager, was a well-off person. What could she say now? If Li Jicheng really had murderous intentions, she would have to stay far away, so as not to suffer the same fate!
Liu Zongmin squinted his eyes and said nothing. He and Sun Kewang were not familiar with each other, and they were not from the same school...and he had long thought that Sun Kewang was not a thing. He gave his daughter to the prince and wanted to depose the prince. You know how powerful it is to make your own grandson the new prince, right?
Li Zicheng's younger brother Li Zijing knew nothing and had the softest heart. Seeing how pitiful Sun Kewang and his daughter were, he sighed and said, "Why don't we go to the East Palace and ask the Crown Prince to come out and calm the situation?"
"Do you want the prince to be the emperor?" Queen Gao asked at this time.
Li Zijing was dumbfounded and didn't dare to make the decision. He turned around and looked at Liu Zongmin. Liu Zongmin said: "The prince is a filial son. Of course he will take on the important responsibilities for the emperor..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Kewang and his daughter again. They were already crying. Sun Kewang nodded and said: "The prince is unparalleled in benevolence and filial piety. He should have been the emperor a long time ago. Well, a rich man is enough!"
Liu Zongmin nodded towards Li Zijing.
Queen Mother Gao also nodded: "I mean the same thing!"
Li Zijing let out a breath, stood up and left the hall, heading towards Li Jicheng's East Palace. At this time, Li Jicheng's army had entered Wuhua Palace, and all important places in the palace were occupied by them.
Some officers and soldiers from the Long March Army went up to stop Li Zijing, and Li Zijing quickly shouted: "This is the emperor's uncle, King Changle. By the order of the Empress Dowager, I invite the crown prince to ascend the throne of the emperor!"
Hearing his words, someone immediately shouted: "By the decree of the Empress Dowager, I invite the Prince to ascend the throne as emperor!"
Soon, the shouts of these people reached Li Jicheng's East Palace. Surrounded by close officials such as Luo Hu, Gao Yidao, Niu Quan, Song Yaowen, etc., Li Jicheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people around him: "Well, I am a filial son. How can I watch Ada destroy the ancestral foundation? I had to reluctantly take over the throne of the emperor."
