Chapter 994 – Making Enemies with Everyone Possible
Tianbao 15th year, 6th month, 10th day, Chang An.
Early in the morning, Tang Xuanzong Li Lingji declared his final imperial decree as emperor:
"Rebels An Lushan and Si Siming have failed me, starting a rebellion and causing chaos. I intended to kill the rebels, but helplessly, I have no ability to gather the people."
"To extend the dynasty and for the blessing of the people, the empire needs a more stable and powerful emperor. Prince Li Xiang is young and talented, so he can carry on the tradition. Today, I volunteer to hand over the throne to him!"
Along with the imperial decree being released, there was also a passage scolding the rebels. From this day onward, this decree along with the letter seeking to destroy the rebels would spread to all the counties. It would order everyone to send their troops to Chang An to fight together with the king.
