The little vitality brought to Emperor Dezong by the Great Returning Pill at the beginning has almost been wiped out since then.

Murong Bai had a clear understanding in his heart, the day of the emperor's death seemed to be approaching.

He didn't procrastinate anymore, he contacted his master Gu Qingze, his father-in-law Liu Yifan and others, and met Wang Shuwen in secret, telling him that it was time to get ready.

However, half a month passed, and the emperor's illness became much worse.

The prince took care of him at the sick bed every day, and when he returned to the East Palace, his eyes were red from crying every time.

He even sent Wang Shuwen to find Murong Bai here, and asked Murong Bai for another Great Repayment Pill to renew the life of Emperor Dezong.

It's a pity that Emperor Dezong had long been sapped by the evil spirit of the demon cat, and the medicine was useless, and Murong Bai had other plans, so how could he send the elixir again.

He only shirked that he no longer had the elixir in his hands, Wang Shuwen and the prince also knew that such elixir was hard to come by, so they stopped insisting.

Waiting for the past few days, all the arrangements Murong Bai made before will also be activated.

It must be known that the emperor has been seriously ill for a long time and it is difficult to manage affairs, and the current Prime Minister Du You has a close relationship with Liu Yuxi, and with the help of Gu Qingze, Liu Yifan, Wang Shuwen and others, all kinds of transfers can be easily dispatched.

First, Xue Chunhua, Ji Wenbin and other generals in the army who had good friends with Murong Bai were promoted or transferred, and they were all assigned to important positions in the city.

Afterwards, Murong Bai also got the chance to be promoted, from Wei Weisi Shaoqing of the fourth rank, to the Minister of the Ministry of War under the fourth rank.

Chapter 403

Chapter 403

Although the Minister of the Ministry of War who is less than thirty years old is not shocking, but in the hundreds of years of Tang Dynasty history, it is not much.

You know, the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is not just as simple as an official position under the fourth rank.

From Shangshu to the Ministry of War, there are two servants, who are responsible for assisting the Minister of the Ministry of War in charge of various matters of the Ministry of War.

These two servants are in charge of two of the four divisions of the Ministry of War, Murong Bai's seniority is still relatively young, so naturally he is not in charge of the division of the Ministry of War and the Division of the Ministry of Defense, so Murong Bai was assigned to the Department of Treasury and the Department of Driving.

In the capital of Chang'an, a military minister who is in charge of the arsenal's chariots and horses, once there is a change in the sky, he can do more than a little bit.

Murong Bai has his own unconventional skills, even after beating and pulling, in just a few days, he has completely controlled the two divisions of Ku and Jia.

None of the subordinate officials dared to speak sarcastic remarks because of his young age.

Another half month passed, and in the twelfth lunar month of the [-]th year of Zhenyuan, the new year was approaching.

After ten consecutive days of sleepless nights, Emperor Dezong was finally tortured and died.

But at this moment, the sorcerer Kong Hai, who came all the way from the Wa country, has just arrived in Zhongtu, and there is still at least a month's journey from Chang'an...

Prince Li Song's succession to the throne can be regarded as going smoothly.

Because Murong Bai personally diagnosed and treated his old illnesses, and even gave him a Dahuandan, no one dared to say something like "The prince is suffering from an old illness, which is not good for the prince who has recovered from his health long ago." The country will survive" and other bastard words.

Emperor Dezong's nephew, Shu Wang Li Yi, supported by eunuch Ju Wenzhen and others, naturally did not have the opportunity to stir up wind and rain in the palace and prevent Prince Li Song from meeting Emperor Dezong for the last time.

Obtaining the last edict issued by Emperor Dezong before his death, and with the support of the officials in the court, Prince Li Song easily sat on the throne of emperor.

As a result, the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan will never come.

After Li Song took office, he changed his name to Yongzhen, so after the new year, it will be the first year of Yongzhen.

Of course, the first imperial edict issued by Emperor Yongzhen after he came to power was not the purpose of changing the Yuan.

Because Emperor Yongzhen had been serving Dezong before his collapse, and saw with his own eyes the miserable appearance of Dezong being tortured to death by a demon cat.

Even ordinary people should not share in the hatred of killing their fathers, let alone emperors and sons of heaven.

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

Emperor Yongzhen was protected by Murong Bai in the dark, the demon cat could no longer endanger his life with its demonic aura as it did with Emperor Dezong.

As for the Emperor Yongzhen who held the power of the world, even if he was in charge of the world that was already a bit precarious, it would not be difficult for him to deal with the demon cat.

Emperor Dezong had already issued an edict to visit strange people and strangers in the folk, and went to the palace to exorcise evil spirits and catch demons.

It's just that because King Shu, Li Yi, the eunuch Ju Wenzhen and others were playing tricks in the dark, the execution was not very strong.

After Emperor Yongzhen came to power, King Shu and Li Yi's influence was wiped out, and Murong Bai used another means to secretly kill Ju Wenzhen's life. Therefore, Emperor Yongzhen's imperial decree was not compromised at all. , was sent to the various sects of Taoism and Buddhism in the world.

For example, Emei, Kunlun, Longhu Mountain and other Buddhist and Taoist holy places were all sent an edict by Emperor Yongzhen.

Even at Qinglong Temple, even though Emperor Dezong had bumped into soft nails in Qinglong Temple more than once before, Emperor Yongzhen also sent someone to send a message.

I just said that Master Huiguo of Qinglong Temple was invited to enter the palace to subdue the demons. If he succeeded, he would be rewarded heavily.

Emperor Yongzhen's move was originally just a little bit of human affairs, and it could be regarded as leaving a little face for Qinglong Temple, the leader of the Shingon sect of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

But in comparison, Emperor Yongzhen, or all the Tang emperors are more willing to believe, but still as the ancestor of the Dharma sect of Buddhism, as the head of the eight temples in Fanchuan, there is Master Xuanzang The relics protect the country and promote religion.

Unfortunately, when Emperor Dezong was killed by the demon cat, he had gone to find the eminent monk and abbot of Xingjiao Temple.

It's a pity that although Xingjiao Temple has profound Buddhist teachings and learned the Mahayana secrets that Master Xuanzang brought from Tianzhu, in terms of techniques, it is ultimately inferior to the demon cat.

After all, Master Xuanzang, who is a master of Buddhism, has never heard of any stories of powerful mana, subduing demons and eliminating demons.

That kind of livelihood is often the exclusive occupation of a certain shameless traveler.

According to Bai Juyi, the eminent monk of Huguo Temple who entered the palace at the beginning did not even see the face of the demon cat, and finally had to return angrily.

So this time, in the face of Emperor Yongzhen's first decree after he came to the throne, although the monks in the temple wanted to sweep away the demon atmosphere, they still wanted to make the Tang Dynasty a brighter place.

But they are powerless after all.
