Chapter 875: Zen
At this time, an old Taoist priest known as Xuguzi, the Purple-robed Heavenly Master of Shouyang Mountain, passed by and told the people who came after hearing the news the contents of the inscription.
The general meaning is that the destiny belongs to Li, and only Qin Wang Li Cunxi, who is the reincarnation of Zhenwu Emperor, can inherit the throne and clear the world and sweep across the wilderness.
At this time, the news that the emperor abdicated to Li Cunxi had been circulating for a long time. With so many auspicious signs appearing between heaven and earth, it was natural that they supported Li Cunxi.
After this unreliable statement spread, many people began to firmly believe that Li Cunxi was the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu.
By the time Li Cunxi learned the details of the news, it was already the night before the abdication.
He held his chin and sat on the throne that originally belonged to Wu Zetian. The dragon bed was cold and hard, and did not have the wonderful feeling of the soft chairs he had sat on before.
"The celestial phenomena have changed, is Li's destiny in your hands?"
"The rise of the Tang Dynasty, King of Zezhou?"
"Even Luo He's offering stele has come out! Are you guys crazy?"
Below, Xuguzi, Xu Xi, Yuan Tiangang, Jingkong and others listened quietly with their heads lowered.
Although they were not the masterminds of this matter, they were indeed the executors.
As for the mastermind...
Already waiting for the abdication.
Yuan Tiangang was really scared. He carried out the whole process very carefully and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
God knows that he was sleeping happily a few nights ago, but suddenly he heard the door being opened, and a man in black put him in a sack and ran out.
After he was put down, he woke up again and found his former best student Wu Zetian standing in front of him.
Who knows what kind of Shura field this is? Wu Zetian looked at him with a half-smile and said:
"Just as you deceived me with the Luo River offering tablet back then, you must use the same method to deceive the people of the world now."
"If you can't produce the auspicious signs before Cunxi ascends the throne, I will kill you. It's up to you."
As for Xuguzi, he is still a wanted criminal in Da Zhou because of his apprentice Wang Zhiyuan.
In order to allow him to walk around openly in public in the future, he assisted Yuan Tiangang in carving a series of words such as "Li Cunxi is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu" in the font of ancient books.
"This is all forced by His Majesty."
Yuan Tiangang spoke helplessly.
He is also afraid of death, but he does not have the spirit to face death with equanimity. If he can survive, he will naturally want to survive.
"My arrest warrant has been withdrawn, which is a good thing for me."
Xuguzi pretended to be calm and joined in.
"So, a few days before the abdication, the four of you, together, not only created an auspicious sign for me, but also went on to talk about a change in the astrological signs?"
"The stars have really changed." Xu Xi said weakly.
"Then things have changed. Now you have nothing else to hide from me, right?"
"Gone."
……
The next day.
The sky is bright.
At the foot of the abdication platform, all civil and military officials had made their preparations. The Left and Right Guard Generals and the Left and Right Guard Generals, whom Li Cunxi had rarely seen, had also arrived at the foot of the abdication platform.
After standing in order of priority with a group of generals, several generals began to whisper to each other.
They were always in the west of the Great Zhou, guarding against attacks from Tubo, and did not know much about what was going on in the court. It was not until Wu Sansi rebelled, established the pseudo-Wu regime in Jiangdong, and proclaimed himself the Great Emperor of Wu that they realized how uneasy the Great Zhou had been in those years.
Before the war against Wu began, the General of the Right Guard sent a messenger to the emperor to request a war, determined to attack Wu Sansi. In the end, he was stopped by Wu Zetian, and there was no further news.
General Huan Bin, who was in charge of guarding the area near the abdication platform, led the Qianniu Guards, the Left and Right Jinwu Guards, and the Inner Guards to arrange personnel in all directions, even in the river, for fear that someone would disrupt the abdication ceremony.
A few hundred meters away was the closest observation point, with a large number of curious people watching the ceremony from a distance. However, that distance was not close enough, so one could only watch the excitement and not see anything else.
There were still a large number of Right Guard soldiers between the common people and the civil and military officials. In order to ensure the smooth conduct of today's abdication ceremony, Fang Zhe even sent his armored troops back to maintain order.
On the abdication platform, Wu Zetian and Li Cunxi were both very nervous. After all, it was a major event that only happened once in a lifetime. The closer they got, the more anxious they became.
Wu Zetian did not expect that after seven years, she would actually abdicate the throne just like Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, did in the past.
"The time has come."
Zong Qinke, the Imperial Censor who was in charge of the abdication, came forward trembling.
Zong Chuke is over seventy years old this year. He never thought that one day he would be able to hold such a solemn ceremony as the Imperial Censor.
Excited heart, shaking hands!
"This is the imperial seal."
Wu Zetian held the imperial seal in both hands and was very respectful towards it.
After taking another deep look at the imperial seal, Wu Zetian directly handed it to Zong Qinke.
Zong Qinke was even more excited than Wu Zetian.
He held the imperial seal tremblingly, and under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, he turned to Li Cunxi, who was already wearing the dragon robe, then bowed and presented the seal with both hands.
Li Cunxi stretched out his hands and took the imperial seal.
This seemingly ordinary jade seal, after being taken into Li Cunxi's hands, seemed to have endless magic power, attracting Li Cunxi's attention.
If you don't show up, you will be forgotten. Once you show up, you will attract everyone's attention!
The national jade seal!
"What a good baby."
Li Cunxi said secretly in his heart, and his endless thoughts were forcibly suppressed. Then he waited for the next process as if nothing had happened.
Di Renjie came forward holding the sacrificial text and handed it to Li Cunxi, then stepped aside with Wu Zetian and Zong Qinke.
This eulogy was written long ago. After Wu Zetian regained consciousness, she conferred titles on five kings and asked Di Renjie to polish it. It was revised repeatedly and finally became the current eulogy.
"The Emperor of Heaven, the God of Earth..."
Li Cunxi continued reading without much emotion. What he was most concerned about was not these things, but one item after the memorial was read.
"My uncle is so handsome!"
Standing among the officials, Bakhtaqwa looked at Li Cunxi on the Zen platform and sighed in his heart.
He still remembered the first time he met Li Cunxi. It was the first time that Li Cunxi entered the Turkic region and borrowed the passage for the Great Zhou army. His elder brother Mochu recognized Li Cunxi as his paternal uncle, which made him envious to the point of drooling.
Later, when Mochu started a rebellion, his luck turned and he recognized the current Emperor Tang Li Cunxi as his cousin.
Later, he became a royal relative in the Tang Dynasty.
"After waiting for so long, this day has finally come."
Wu Yanhao's eyes were a little moist. He had followed Li Cunxi in his battles for six years, and finally saw Li Cunxi become emperor.
He, Wu Yanhao!
He is going to be the emperor's uncle soon!
Li Cunxi said a lot of nonsense, all of which were flattering words to praise himself. In the end, Li Cunxi himself was almost embarrassed because he was being praised too much.
