Chapter 280 New Crown Prince

So when most people in the court stood there waiting for the news with a confused look on their faces, Yuan Zai and Li Mi were somewhat restless.

They didn't know whether Li Heng's health suddenly improved a little, and he could go to court once, or whether he really had something important to tell them.

Li Yong and Li Yu did not let these people wait too long. Soon, the news of the eunuchs who were following Li Heng on weekdays reached everyone's ears.

"Crown Prince, King Jianning is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu and Li Qing were wearing court uniforms, walked to both sides of the seat where Li Heng usually sat, and then stood still.

Li Yan's sudden appearance caused the officials below to discuss for a while. They didn't know why Li Yan could appear here with Li Yu.

However, Li Heng did not come, which is very telling the problem. That is, the emperor's body may have really reached the point where the oil was exhausted.

After Li Yu and Li Qing stood in the court, neither of them made a statement because the conversation was indeed a little louder, so loud that their voices could not be suppressed if they spoke.

But they couldn't hold back, so naturally someone could hold back. Li Yu winked at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch immediately became interested and took out an edict from his sleeve. After clearing his throat, he said loudly: "Silent! Your Majesty has the will!"

As soon as he said this, the people below immediately subconsciously closed their mouths. Li Heng had an order at this time, and it was basically the last order before leaving. This matter would definitely be very important.

Li Mi stood quietly below, looking at Li Xuan, who was as expressionless as before, and Li Yu, who seemed to have felt a lot more relaxed, and a feeling in his heart was not very good.

Li Yu didn't understand, but he knew Li Yu. Li Yu always regarded the throne as a burden, and obviously suddenly became relaxed. Can things be done?

Sure enough, as soon as the eunuch finished speaking, he opened the edict in his hand. When the officials saw it, they knelt down one after another. The things that could achieve this effect were basically no different from the emperor who came here in person. This is the imperial power. No matter how tough Li Heng was, whoever dared not kneel down when he saw him, he would have to be pulled out and cut him down. This is a matter of principle.

"My King Jianning of Tang Dynasty, Li Yan, has made many extraordinary achievements since the An Lushan rebellion, saved the Tang Dynasty from danger. The Battle of Suiyang, recovered the two capitals, recovered Hebei Road, and repelled the Uighurs and Tubo army, were all unparalleled achievements. It is a blessing that our Tang Dynasty has King Jianning. With the recommendation of Prince Li Yu, I decided to accept that Li Yu gave up the position of Prince to Li Yan. Today, under the witness of these officials, it is time to complete this matter!"

In just a few short sentences, it only expresses two meanings. One is that Li Neng made too many contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Even for so many contributions, it shouldn’t be a question for him to be the crown prince. Now there are ones standing in the court in the Tang Dynasty. There are definitely no ones who have made so many contributions by Li Neng, so they are not qualified to accuse this matter.

Another meaning is that Li Yu himself is willing to give up the position of crown prince, and Li Yu recommended Li Yu before Li Heng's sickbed, rather than Li Yong forced him with his troops.

Although Li Neng's troops were outside Chang'an City, there were still Northern Ya Imperial Guards in this imperial city. If Li Neng really thought it was an undesirable method in the past few days, it would definitely be impossible for the two brothers to stand in the court with a smile on their faces.

These two meanings can actually be said to be quite tenable, but Li Qing knew that for these civil officials who felt that they could do something for the Tang Dynasty by standing in the court, these two reasons must be full of loopholes, so it is possible that any kind of scene appears in the court today.

The brief tranquility was obviously everyone below was trying to digest the news that made them all a little confused.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yu quickly stepped forward a few steps, picked up the seal of the prince, the clothes and the keys of the East Palace, which had been prepared from the table, and other things that symbolized their identity. He walked slowly to Li Lan and prepared to hand them over to Li Lan.

At this moment, Yuan Zai, who was standing in front, looked behind him and looked at him. The next moment, an old minister who was already white in his hair walked in a few steps.

"Your Majesty! Crown Prince! No! Since ancient times, you have always been the eldest and the youngest. How can your Majesty and the Prince convince the public? Besides, King Jianning is just a military general, how can he dominate the court of the Tang Dynasty? The old minister begs to meet Your Majesty today and personally explain this matter!"

While the old guy was talking, he kept kowtowing in the court. For a moment, he was already crying like rain, and all the officials around him were moved.

When Li Yu saw that this scene happened at this time, he subconsciously stopped his steps to persuade the old Chen.

However, just as he was about to stop, Li Qing's very light voice appeared in his ears: "Brother, don't pay attention. Hand over it first. I'll deal with this matter."

Originally, Li Yu was also a person who was unwilling to trouble, but now Li said that he was going to deal with this matter, so naturally Li Yu was willing to hear. After completing this step, he was no longer the prince in principle. These things in the court had little to do with him.

Thinking of this, Li Yu gritted his teeth and instead accelerated his pace.

Yuan Zai winked back again in this situation. He immediately jumped out two or three old ministers of age, almost exactly the same as the one before. He kept kowtowing, and tears flowed down.

However, Li Yu had already arrived at Li Qing's side at this time, and he reached out and handed the things in his hand to Li Qing.

After Li Qing took it, he gave a deep blessing to Li Yu, and then put these things on the table with great importance and took a deep breath, which ended the process.

In the midst of noisy, Li Qing transformed himself into the prince with complete procedures.

When I looked further down, there were already four or five old ministers crying. The scene really didn't look like the court of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother, what are these people's official positions?"
