Chapter 316 The Emperor Abdicates and the King of Qin Ascends the Throne
Sea pool, imperial boat.

Yuchi Jingde, wearing armor and holding a lance, boarded the boat with a strange look on his face.

Li Yuan was shocked. "What are you doing?"

Yuchi Jingde thought to himself, 'I was supposed to come here to force you to abdicate, but today's events are too weird. There's a guy who popped out of nowhere. Sigh.'

Seeing Yuchi Jingde, who was like a black iron tower, just staring at him without saying anything, Li Yuan was also frightened. "What's going on? Why don't you say something!"

"Alas." Yuchi Jingde sighed, "I can't say anything. Someone asked me to take His Majesty over to discuss it."

Pei Ji frowned and asked, "Who is so bold as to let Your Majesty go?"

The ministers were also puzzled.

Anyone who is not blind can see the open and covert struggles between the three brothers.

But no matter which side wins, they will not take the initiative to see the emperor at this time, but will only convey messages and do things through people like Yuchi Jingde.

In other words, someone was involved and in control of the situation!
How can this be?

Yuchi Jingde looked at these fawning officials with disdain, shook the lance in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, leave quickly!"

Li Yuan at this time was no longer the Li Yuan who had started the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty.

After years of indulgence in wine, women, money and power, and being surrounded by flatterers, the heroic spirit he once had had has long since disappeared.

Faced with the murderous Yuchi Jingde, he did not dare to get angry. He could only bite the bullet and lead his ministers to disembark.

Fortunately, the distance is not far. After passing the Linhu Palace, it is next to a small woods on the shore.

The most core group of people in the Tang Dynasty's power structure were gathered here at this time.

Everyone knew the others, except Chen Ran, who was a stranger and attracted everyone's constant stares.

But Li Yuan looked at his three sons in disbelief.

"Second brother, are you feeling better?" Li Yuanji half-knelt on the ground, rubbing the back of Li Erfeng's neck as he sat on a rock.

The blow from Chen Ran's hand earlier had caused a swelling on the back of his neck.

Li Jiancheng sat on the grass nearby, drank some water from the water bag brought by his personal guards, and casually handed it to Li Erfeng who was standing beside him.

Li Erfeng didn't mind and drank it directly.

Li Yuan was stunned by the scene of brothers being so friendly and respectful to each other.

'Aren't they incompatible and eager to kill each other?'

"Your Majesty." Chen Ran spoke with a bang, "Your story has been exposed."

Li Yuan'(;°ロ°)'

What are you talking about? I understand each word, but I don't understand when you put it together.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yu stepped forward and asked, "How dare you disrespect His Majesty?"

"Yuchi Gong." Chen Ran ignored Xiao Yu and told Yuchi Jingde to "cut off half of his teeth."

Yuchi Jingde said nothing, but took two steps forward and slapped Xiao Yu in the face with a big slap.

He was a tough guy who could kill an enemy general with just his arms on the battlefield. The force of this slap was so strong that Xiao Yu flew away with broken teeth.

Li Yuan was so angry that he trembled. "You, you, you"

"That's enough." Chen Ran said, "Your Majesty, you instigated internal strife among your own sons, disregarded family affection for power, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but you are trying to harm your own son for the sake of all, and you are planning to pass the throne to another woman's son. Are you worthy of Queen Taimu?"

Everyone listened and felt that the previous words made some sense.

After all, whether it is the Crown Prince or the King of Qin, their abilities, strengths, and prestige are rare in history.

As emperor, Li Yuan is naturally Alexander.

If the minister is easy to persuade, just chop him off directly.

But it was a son. A son killing his father is a heinous crime, but a father killing his son is also a despicable crime!
Everyone generally agrees that the emperor instigated a fight between the crown prince and the King of Qin.

But passing the throne to other sons or something like that is nonsense.

The Crown Prince and the King of Qin's forces and cronies are spread throughout the court and the country, and whoever wins will not give any chance to others.

Even if the emperor had such an idea, it would be impossible within twenty years.

Li Yuan's beard was shaking with anger. He raised his finger and pointed at Chen Ran, "You, Hu, say it!"

"These are not important anymore." Chen Ran smiled casually and looked at Li Jiancheng. "The prince has come to his senses and knows about the conspiracy between you and the ministers. Heartbroken, he is willing to take the initiative to give up his position and retreat into the mountains to practice Taoism. Is that right, prince?"

Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Although now he thinks that it is good for brothers to be friendly and respectful to each other, there is no need to kill each other for the throne.

You can take the initiative to give up your position and go to the mountains to practice Taoism or something.
Meeting Chen Ran's smiling gaze, he lowered his head involuntarily and responded with a muffled "Yes."

There was an uproar all around, and Li Yuan was even more incredulous, "How is it possible?"

"What?" Yuchi Jingde snorted in dissatisfaction, "The Crown Prince gave way to the King of Qin. Your Majesty is not satisfied?"

Glancing at the horse lance in his hand, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and asked the ministers around him, "I didn't expect the prince to be so aware. What do you think should be done?"

All the ministers were helpless.

He was surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and there was also a strange man who slapped Xiao Yu unconscious over a disagreement.

If you take the lead at this time, not only will you not gain the prince's gratitude, but you will also lose your life.

Chen Shuda was the first to speak out, "The Crown Prince and the King of Qi did not participate in the plan to raise an army to resist the Sui Dynasty, nor did they make any contributions to the world. They were jealous of the King of Qin's great achievements and high prestige, so they planned a treacherous conspiracy to murder the King of Qin." "It is a great blessing that they can repent now, and it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

"The King of Qin has made great contributions to the world and has won the hearts of the people. If Your Majesty can decide to make him the Crown Prince and entrust him with state affairs, there will be no more trouble."

Li Yuan nodded. "Okay, I've always thought so."

Although they knew it was not the truth, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji still looked over at the same time.

Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, but he still asked Pei Ji to write an edict on the spot to appoint Li Shimin as the crown prince.

After finishing all these, he looked at Chen Ran.

The reason why everyone was held hostage was that Chen Ran controlled the three brothers. The powerful strength he displayed was capable of destroying the three brothers at any time.

Yuchi Jingde and others who were worried about the safety of the King of Qin had to control Li Yuan and the civil officials as he requested, which led to this slightly strange situation.

Everyone's eyes were turned to Chen Ran, whose identity was unknown.

"Not enough." Chen Ran simply shook his head and said, "Write another imperial edict."

"Write what?"

"Abdication edict!"

Everyone was shocked, except the people in Prince Qin's mansion, who looked happy.

Xiao Yu, who finally woke up, heard this and shouted in a leaky voice, "How dare you! How dare you! This is treason! The King of Qin is treasoning!"

Everyone thought that Chen Ran would let Yuchi Jingde continue to beat Xiao Yu, and even Yuchi Jingde himself was ready to fight.

But Chen Ran simply said, "When the army rose in Jinyang and defeated Song Laosheng, it was Li Er who persuaded Li Yuan, who wanted to withdraw his troops, and personally killed Song Laosheng, which gave us the opportunity to enter Guanzhong."

"It was Li Er who took over Guanzhong. He enforced strict military discipline and did not commit any crime. Only then did he win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and lay the foundation for his struggle for world domination."

"It was Li Er who defeated Xue Ju and his son and quelled the border crisis."

"It was Li Er who defeated Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and recaptured Jinyang."

"It was Li Er who eliminated Wang Shichong and seized the Central Plains."

"It was Li Er who defeated Dou Jiande and took over Hebei."

"It was Li Er who put down Liu Heita's rebellion and cleaned up the mess for you."

"It's Li Er"

Li Er's achievements were listed one by one, and the expressions of the people who listened were extremely strange and exciting.

Li Erfeng, who was being praised, also looked unhappy.

He really wanted to jump up and kick Chen Ran, "Stop calling me Li Er!"

Chen Ran glanced at everyone and asked, "While Li Er was busy pacifying the world, what were you doing?"

Everyone was silent.

"You are busy dividing the fruit."

"The emperor was busy enjoying beauties, the civil officials were busy fighting for power, and the crown prince and the king of Qi were even more busy dealing with the king of Qin whose prestige was at its peak."

"The King of Qin is fighting outside, but you are causing misery to the people of Guanzhong."

"The emperor's women asked the King of Qin for money and property, and also sought official positions for their relatives."

"If the King of Qin doesn't allow it, he will falsely accuse me of whispering in your ear."

"The royal family bullies men and women and seizes good farmland. The civil officials fight for power and profit and only know how to flatter."

At this point, Chen Ran took a breath and said, "You know that the King of Qin cares about the people. He can't stand what you are doing, so he wants to get rid of the King of Qin and protect his own power and interests."

"What a pity, the sun is shining brightly!"

"Gold will eventually shine, and you garbage can't block it."

"Write the abdication edict, write it now." Chen Ran then looked at Yuchi Jingde. "When doing big things, you should establish your authority by making sacrifices. Let's use that guy as a sacrifice first, and if anyone else jumps out, we'll continue to kill him."

Yuchi Jingde, who was full of anger, walked forward with a grim smile and stabbed Xiao Yu, who was shouting that the King of Qin was plotting a rebellion, with the lance in his hand.

He shook the bloody lance and glanced at everyone, especially Li Yuan. Everyone was frightened and avoided him, no one dared to look him in the eye.

When he looked at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran glared at him, but Yuchi Jingde subconsciously looked away, and at the same time encouraged himself in his heart, "I am doing this for the safety of the King of Qin, not because I am afraid of him! That's right, that's it."

Pei Ji, sweating profusely, had to write another abdication edict without the emperor saying anything.

He didn't dare to write, but he didn't dare not to write.

After all, if he didn't write it, he would definitely become the second unlucky guy to be sacrificed to establish his authority.

Seeing that he had written the edict, Yuchi Jingde stepped forward and took the jade seal that Li Yuan carried with him to use as his seal.

"Let's go."

Chen Ran called on everyone to "go up to the city wall."

Li Yuanji asked stupidly, "What are you doing on the city wall?"

"Crown Prince, the former crown prince and the soldiers from your palace have already arrived. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can die on the battlefield against foreign races, but they should not die under the swords of their own people."

"Go up to the city wall and announce to the world that the emperor has abdicated and the King of Qin has ascended the throne!"
