MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 1370 overlord

  Chapter 1370 Supreme Emperor

  The treasure ship sails north, sailing at full speed.

  When Qin Lang entered Hue Port, the Qin family's concession in Linyi Wangdu, Qin Lang received the latest news, and it was already mid-November.

  Crown Prince Li Xian held a grand enthronement ceremony in Luoyang Palace on the first day of November, where he was crowned and proclaimed emperor.

  Respect Li Yin as the Supreme Emperor.

  After Li Xian ascended the throne, he changed his name to Li Zhao according to the law.

  Of course, the more important thing is that this newly created character is also very domineering, the sun and the moon are in the sky, and the supreme is incomparable.

  The imperial edict next year will be changed to the first year of Longshuo.

Inside Hue Port, Shanglin Square, and Taoyuan, these are the gardens specially built by the Qin family for Qin Lang, because Hue Port is the Qin Concession of Queen Linyi's capital, Qin Lang would come here occasionally to meet old lovers, Therefore, the garden is very beautiful, especially when the peach blossoms are in full bloom every year, it is indeed very beautiful.

After 30 years of operation, Hue is now very good in terms of scale and prosperity. It is even more lively than the Tang City in the Thu Pen River. Although the Tang City is large, it is more scattered, unlike the Hue Port of the Qin family. Although it is still some distance away from the royal capital, its positioning is clear and its development is dedicated, but it is catching up from behind.

  This trading port is also known as Elephant Port.

  Qin Lang was reading the letters sent from Luoyang while taking a bath in the soup pond in Taoyuan.

  When he set off from Shigang, Li Xian had already ascended the throne in Luoyang, but the information lagged behind. Now, the new emperor who was renamed Li Zhao has been on the throne for more than half a month.

   Judging from the current information, the political situation in Luoyang is still relatively stable, and the succession of the new emperor is relatively smooth, without any accidents.

  The response from the ruling and opposition parties is also not bad.

  Qin Jun also gave Qin Lang an encrypted letter, using an agreed cipher text that only the father and son knew. After translation, he learned some information about the Supreme Emperor.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, Li Yin's condition gradually stabilized, and it was still improving. First, half of his body slowly recovered some limb mobility, and then the symptoms of the emperor's nonsense also improved. Although his speech was still unclear, at least he had recovered. It is possible to speak without gibberish.

  The emperor's will was also very strong. He secretly used his inconvenient left hand to practice gestures and writing.

   Even tried to communicate with the imperial physician, and then contacted the outside world through the imperial physician.

  It's a pity that Qin Jun and Li Xian had already guarded against this move. On the one hand, they clearly cut off Xizhou and prohibited entry and exit from the island. On the other hand, they secretly sent people to watch the emperor's every move.

  So the little tricks of the emperor were quickly discovered by Qin Jun and the others.

   It is precisely because of this that they decided to speed up their ascension to the throne.

  While they continued to block Jiuzhou Lake, blocked the emperor's illness, and isolated China and foreign countries, they stepped up the enthronement ceremony.

  The emperor recovered very well, but Qin Jun took the lead and went to the table several times to support him, and the crown prince accepted after three speeches as usual, and these three speeches were less than half a month before and after, which was much faster than normal.

  When the crown prince ascended the throne in Luoyang Palace, Li Yin didn’t know anything about it, and was still secretly practicing writing and speaking with his left hand. At night, the new emperor brought Qin Jun to see him.

   Seeing Li Yin in the emperor's crown uniform, he lost his mind for a moment.

  Li Zhao told Li Yin that from now on, he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he respected him as the Supreme Emperor.

   Li Yin was stunned for a long time before he uttered the truth in front of people for the first time. Before that, he had been hiding the fact that he had recovered his ability to speak.

  He asked his son angrily why he couldn't wait.

Li Zhao pretended to know that the emperor was able to speak, pretended to be surprised, and then pretended to be happy, but faced with his father's accusations, he only said that for the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was paralyzed and could not handle the military affairs. The ministers and officials persuaded him to come in, but he also accepted orders in the face of danger.

   Li Yin's already crooked mouth became even more crooked in anger.

   In the face of power, there is no father-son relationship.

  He didn't even ask his son, who wrote the Inner Zen edict when he ascended the throne today. He didn't write the imperial edict for Li Chu, Li Xian also became the prince, and he didn't write the edict of supervising the country, Li Xian also became the superintendent of the country, so it didn't hinder him at all whether he wrote the imperial edict of inner Zen.

   "I want to go to Shangyang Palace to recuperate."

After calming down, Li Yin accepted the fact that he had become the Supreme Emperor, and made a request. He didn't want to stay on this small island in Jiuzhouchi anymore. Shangyang Palace.

  Li Zhao agreed.

  On the same day, the Supreme Emperor was escorted into Shangyang Palace by Situ, Zhong Shuling, Ping Zhangshi, and Qin Jun, Prince of Wu'an County.

  Empress Dowager Qin Shu is in charge of the palace, Qin Jun is also in charge of the guards of Shangyang Palace, and Qin Li personally leads it.

  The Supreme Emperor Li Yin just changed from the small Xizhou to a larger Shangyang Palace, but in the Shangyang Palace, the Supreme Emperor was placed in the Guanfeng Palace.

  Shangyang Palace is called the South Palace, and has six palace groups, known as the fairyland on earth. But at this time, the Supreme Emperor was placed alone in the Guanfeng Palace, completely isolated from the other five palace groups, and the Guanfeng Palace was still not allowed to communicate with the outside world.

  The Supreme Emperor is still equivalent to being placed under house arrest.

  It's just that at this time, who would care about the paralyzed and useless Supreme Emperor who has abdicated and is just paralyzed in bed.

The emperor still sent an imperial doctor to stay in the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace to supply the best medicinal materials. As long as Li Yin's condition continues to improve, he still has a chance to stand up, but the best result is just like the emperor Gaozu back then. Similarly, there should be more beauties in the palace and more children.

   But with Li Yin's condition, even if it gets better, it will be difficult to have more children in the future.

  The political life of the Supreme Emperor has come to an end.

   This is the era of the new emperor Li Zhao.

  The fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, although the time was not long, continued the rule of Zhenguan, bringing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level.

  Qin Lang, who was still eight thousand miles away, couldn't help but feel a little complicated, and secretly sighed.

  The soup room is filled with moisture and the unique fragrance of spices.

  The queen was wearing a tulle, her head full of black hair draped over her shoulders, and she walked slowly towards him.

   "What is Saburo thinking?"

  Qin Lang briefed her on the situation.

   "This is good news." The Queen breathed a sigh of relief and swam towards him.

  The queen's figure is still so fit, there is no trace of fat on her body, and her movements are even more light when she swims, like a mermaid.

   "Sanlang can relax a little bit now, this journey day and night is very hard."

  Qin Lang dived into the water, and then appeared under the queen, hugging the beauty in his arms, "There is indeed a fire smoldering these days, hehe..."

   "Ah, don't be here!"

  Qin Lang is extremely domineering.

  Long time.

  The two of them were lying on the deck chairs by the soup pool, feeling a little tired.

  The queen's whole body was sore and limp, and her face was flushed.

   "Sanlang still rushing to Luoyang?"

  The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the court is still stable. This transition of power can be said to be a success. Both the new emperor and Qin Jun summoned him to the court one after another. Qin Lang originally thought that since the handover had been secured, he didn't have to go north to Luoyang.

  But just after a big battle with the queen, this meeting has some different ideas.

   "Going north now, I probably won't be able to catch up with the New Year's Day Grand Court Meeting, but the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne. If I go to Luoyang for a visit, I will also fulfill my duty as a courtier and show my loyalty to the saint."

  Although the Qin family has already made a decision and supported it this time, and Qin Jun is also the representative of the Qin family in Luoyang, but now Qin Lang, the elder, should enter the court to show his attitude.

  Qin Lang's statement is of course very important.

  The emperor added Qin Jun and the three as county kings. Although Qin Jun refused to accept it three times, the emperor insisted on being crowned kings. In the end, Qin Jun, Cheng Chumo and others had no choice but to accept.

   This matter did not cause much criticism in the court, after all, the merits of Qin Jun and the other three were worthy of this reward.

  Of course, in addition to expressing his loyalty to stand for the new emperor, he also went to give some suggestions for the new imperial court.

   "The Western Turks in the Western Regions have rebelled."

  The queen doesn't care. The Turks used to be very powerful, but who cares about the Turks now?

"It's a bit different this time. Previously, the Supreme Emperor used too much force and acted too hastily. He directly designed the two khans of the Western Turks to attack each other. In the end, both khans were killed, and the Western Turkic Khanate was directly abolished. It was a new military town, and the land was reformed, and the Western Turks were not reconciled, so under the leadership of the strongest Tuqishi and Geluolu people, they all rebelled."

  If it’s just that they turned against each other, don’t worry too much. After all, the Western Turks have indeed declined in recent years. Although the Tuqishi and Ge Luolu people are not bad, they are far worse than the Western Turks when they were strong.

   It’s just that the timing is a little special now. First, when the new emperor took the throne, the Western Turks dared to rebel. This was not giving the new emperor face and ignoring the authority of the Tang Dynasty.

   Another one, an urgent report was sent back from further west.

The Great Food Civil War ended unexpectedly, and the former Syrian governor Mu'awiyah won the final victory. He not only defeated the fourth caliph Ali in the battle of Suifen by relying on the tricks of God's ruling, but also Ali was assassinated and died this year. Can't get rid of the relationship.

   Ali died,

  Muawiya is naturally no longer invincible. He used force to oppose Caliph Ali and defeated him. Now that Ali died, Muawiya became the new caliph.

  Although after the death of Khalifa, the Crescent Church split and the Shiite sect flourished. They refused to recognize Mu'awiyah's caliphate status, and insisted that the caliphate could only come from the descendants of the prophet's son-in-law Ali.

   But at this time, Mu'awiyah's power was unmatched, Harry was assassinated, and his eldest son Hassan also voluntarily gave up his status as Caliph.

   After many years of civil war, Dashi is unified again.

   After the unification, Dashi started a new round of external expansion again.

  Before Li Yin fell ill, he had just decided on the latest strategy for the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. He temporarily suspended his troops against Dashi, maintained the existing borders, and then marched eastward with all his strength to conquer the Indus River (Xindu River) basin across the Snow Mountain.

  This strategy cannot be wrong, after all, no one expected that the civil war of Dashi would end as soon as it was over.

  Compared to attacking in the direction of Persia in the east, you have to face the Khorasan Plateau, Sistan Basin, and Baluchistan, which are almost deserted places, the Xindu River Plain is indeed more attractive. If the Xindu River Basin can be conquered, it will indeed provide Datang with more and more stable food supplies in the Western Regions in the future.

   It's just that Li Yin ignored a problem.

   That is, although the previous Tang Dynasty set up the Tocharian Protectorate in Tocharo, commanded dozens of states, and set them as the governor's mansion and state.

However, until now, Tuhuoluo Duhu Mansion and Zhaowu Duhu Mansion have always had the word Duhu in their names, which means that Datang's control over them is weaker than that of the Dudu Mansion in Jiji. level one.
