Zhou Fei had been standing outside the temple for almost an hour.
He maintained the same posture throughout the whole process without any change, and the position he looked at was the academy.
And above the academy, there appeared one after another bright light.
In particular, it is best that the light that travels through from the west is wrapped in the surging power of holiness. There is one of the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace, all of them kneeling on the ground, pious confession.
This imperial palace looks prosperous, but in fact it is extremely sloppy.
When Li Hong was alive, this kind of sluggishness was suppressed and could not move. At most, he could spy one or two in some corners. But since Li Tong succeeded to the throne, this kind of sludge is like the silt in the old well, all upset, making a good palace smelly.
Li Tong himself is the biggest source of stench.
That Huaguang has the ability to suppress all evils in the world, but due to some special reasons, this ability has been weakened, so that when facing this light, the mortals of the Great Desolation will only fall down because of their inner anxiety. Kneeling and confession will not do more extreme things.
But Li Tong's reaction was quite interesting. When everyone else was kneeling, he was like a okay person, surrounded by Concubine Gao, yelling to hear the story. Concubine Gao was wiping tears while telling him stories that were only told when he was a child. Li Tong clapped his hands while listening, and was extremely happy.
When all the dust settled, Zhou Fei knelt down in the direction of the academy and solemnly bowed to the academy's salute.
"Little Master Uncle is mighty."
After the salute, Zhou Fei turned around and returned to the palace, and said to Concubine Gao: "Let's make a move."
Concubine Gao Gui looked at Zhou Fei: "Can't you wait for two more days?"
Zhou Fei said: "Datang can't afford to delay one day."
Concubine Gao Gui said: "Mr. Six, it's not that the palace is greedy for power, but is to hand over the power of Tang to a young man who is not yet weak. Is it really good?"
Zhou Fei said, "Is there a better choice for Concubine Gao? Or are you going to continue to let your already stupid son be the emperor?"
Concubine Gao Gui said: "My palace does not mean that. My son is already grateful to Mr. Six for being able to save my son's life."
"Then what are you talking about?" Zhou Fei said indifferently: "What's more, I am asking you to make a decree instead of letting him
Imperial decree. It's considered enough to give you both of you face, but don't make an inch of it. "
Concubine Gao opened her mouth, but in the end she just let out a long sigh. "My palace understands."
Two hours later.
Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in Chang'an City, as long as they are still in position and still able to move, one of them is considered to be in the palace.
The reason for this efficiency is that Concubine Gao dispatched all the remaining Jinyiwei and "invited" all these officials to the palace.
Now, the hall is full of officials, but these officials do not yet know that they are about to witness history.
Things that have never happened in Datang's history will happen before their eyes.
Concubine Gao took Li Tong onto the dragon chair, and the eyes of the officials went straight.
Because Li Tong's state is too weird.
Before Li Tong unilaterally quit the court, his style was moody, tyrannical and manic, but if he didn't follow his will, there would be life concerns.
After the cessation of the court, Baiguan couldn't even see Li Tong's face. He could only learn about the status of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty from the rumours circulating in the palace.
The drunk gold fan, arrogant and extravagant.
Fortunately, Datang has formed an extremely good official circle for thousands of years. Even without an emperor, all major institutions and departments can operate on their own. To put it in a conscientious way, without the emperor Li Tong showing micro-management everywhere, the operating efficiency of these departments has more than doubled.
Now, the officials saw Li Tong again after nearly half a month, but found that he was showing a third state.
Foolish.
Just like a three-year-old child, the eunuch on the side kept wiping the corners of his mouth.
Concubine Gao Gui looked sad, and after a moment of silence, she signaled the eunuch to start reading the edict.
The edict of abdication.
The officials of Concubine Gao's faction were dumbfounded.
Even if they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't think that Li Tong would choose to abdicate.
The officials of the Queen’s faction almost jumped up and cheered.
There were only a small number of centrist officials, thinking about whether Datang would make a strategic change in response to the invasion of foreign enemies after the emperor abdicated.
The edict is not long, and with the mellow voice of the upper eunuch, it can only be read with half a stick of incense.
Gaoguifei Station
Get up, hold his son's hand, and bow deeply to Baiguan.
The officials of her faction knelt down immediately: "Queen dowager, Your Majesty, never do it."
The other officials hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down slowly.
Concubine Gao Gui said: "Since my son became emperor, Datang has encountered unprecedented challenges. Six nations have attacked, and the temple Buddhism has helped each other. After the war broke out, Datang retreated steadily, even if all veterans fought against the enemy. , We have also lost the four borders of east, west, north and south one after another, and the six-nation coalition is only 300 miles away from Chang'an."
"After the war broke out, there have been more than 100,000 Tang Erlang killed in battle. Tens of thousands of wives have lost their wives, tens of thousands of mothers have lost their sons, and tens of thousands of children have lost their fathers. All this is with my children. It is impossible to get rid of the relationship, because his decision-making mistakes led to Datang's retreat on the frontal battlefield. My son could not bear this kind of blow. I have lost my mind, and you must have seen it."
"My son is no longer able to continue to rule the Tang Dynasty, so I chose to abdicate and give the throne to the sixth prince Li Xuan. Although the sixth prince Li Xuan is young, the academy has indicated that he will fully support the prince Li Xuan, so you don’t need to. Too much worry. Thank you for your tolerance of my son. The Tang Li Tong era is over, and the next is the Li Xuan era of the Six Princes.
As Concubine Gao's words fell, Zhou Fei led Li Xuan into the hall.
Li Xuan, who had already put on his dragon robe, showed a calmness that was completely incompatible with his age.
It was in sharp contrast with Li Tong, who was standing beside Gao Guifei.
Zhou Fei led him onto Longtai, Gao Guifei and Li Tong silently withdrew.
"Sit up." Zhou Fei bent over and gently squeezed Li Xuan's face: "From this moment on, you will be in charge of Datang."
Li Xuan nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and sat on the dragon chair.
Zhou Fei took the lead in saluting: "Long live my emperor, long live long live."
The hundreds of officials also immediately echoed: "Long live my emperor, long live long live long live."
This day is the 176th day of the 1026th year of the founding of Datang.
On this day, Datang changed its national title to Xinqi, which means a new start.
On this day, the dead and resurrected Great Desolate Sword Saint Xin Zhige defeated the temple Ziwei.
On this day, Datang blew the horn of counterattack.
