Piercing Stories (119)

The fourth master's cry made the entire hall quiet. Honghui has been supporting the emperor, so he naturally knows that the person has gone.

"Lord Huang Shenghuang. Marzi shouted from the side. I have to call the imperial doctor to determine if the emperor really went like this.

Everyone immediately stopped crying and made way for the imperial doctor.

As a physician, this is actually what I am most afraid of. When you meet a newly-groomed gentleman with a bad temper, you can directly ask for the head of the imperial doctor. This is also the reason why Huang Sheng wanted to convey kindness to the fourth master at the beginning. At this time he trembled, almost on his knees. After diagnosing the pulse for a long time, I dared to say: "The emperor has been mourned." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a cry inside and outside the hall. Especially the young elder brother, he was even more afraid and at a loss. The emperor takes little care of them, but at least they are down-to-earth. Knowing that this person is pro-Amma, he is free to do anything. Now that it's my brother's turn to come to power, it's really hard to say what will happen in the future.

Honghui first hugged the emperor, and tears fell down. Later, it was Li Dequan who persuaded him to place the emperor on the bed, retreated by himself, made a detour to the back, and knelt behind the imperial uncles.

Li Guangdi stood up, "The emperor has already made a will, and he also asks the new monarch to succeed him." "The new monarch succeeds to the throne, and the funeral of the emperor can be done in accordance with the order. The country cannot be without a king for a day, this is not an empty word.

Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other cabinet ministers, even with the noble clan relatives inside and outside, all asked the new monarch to succeed to the throne.

Only these royal brothers are still confused. There was no reaction for a long time.

The fourth master said: "First of all, please ask Emperor Daxing to leave an edict." "Ninety-nine steps have been taken in a hundred steps, and this last step is missing. There is no rush for this time.

The thirteenth master stood up from behind, nodded to the fourth master, wiped a handful of tears, and went out.

The position of the commander of the Nine Gates guards the safety of the capital. In this time of alternation of the old and the new, it is particularly important. He knew that it was not good as soon as he entered Changchun Garden, and he had already sent people close to him back, called for the closure of the nine gates, and the whole city was under martial law.

If you want to take the edict, you naturally have to return to the palace. There can be no mistakes along the way.

When passing by Honghui, Thirteen whispered: "Tonight, don't leave your Ama half a step." ”

Honghui nodded invisibly, "Uncle Thirteen sent someone to tell me Eniang." "The safety of the Old Summer Palace is also very important.

Thirteen answered, and walked out of the main hall.

Lin Yutong waited for a long time, until the evening, and still didn't see the fourth master come back. Not even a message. Even if the fourth master can't get out, Honghui will ask someone to send the news back. But not today.

Not to mention Su Peisheng, even other eunuchs who ran errands were missing.

She had some bad premonitions in her heart. Fidgeting up.

was upset, and I heard Hongyun's voice outside asking Mama Yuan, "Is my mother asleep?"

Lin Yutong hurriedly said: "Hongyun come in." ”

Hongyun ran in very eagerly, and before he could breathe, he whispered: "Something happened to the garden over there, Yan Erniang." ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong immediately stood up. The person she sent to find out the news never returned.

Hongyun said: "My son went back to the capital today, and he walked halfway through, so he went to the teahouse on the side of the road if he wanted convenience." ”

Lin Yutong nodded, since the emperor lives in the garden, a lot of teahouses and restaurants have been built along the way, especially for the nobles to rest.

I heard Hongyun say: "Who knew that with this delay, my son would not be able to leave again." On the road, the fast horses were all heading into the garden. First the imperial uncles, then the old princes of the clan, and then the important ministers of the court. Speaking of this, Hongyun's voice trembled a little, "My son didn't show up, but then, someone who went to the capital turned back, saying that the nine gates were sealed and the whole city was under martial law." The son thought that something was wrong, so he left Li Shu in the teahouse, watching the news along the road. That's when I rushed back. ”

Lin Yutong was taken aback, and hurriedly instructed Mama Yuan: "Bring Mo Yaqi, Hongshi, Hongzhao, and Hongxuan all over, and stay in one place tonight." Hongyun, you gather the guards in the palace, seal the garden first, and then patrol around. Not even a single step out of the garden, including you. "It's safer in the garden than outside.

Hongyun turned around and ran out again.

The guards also work in shifts. Hongyun gathered everyone together. It used to be three shifts, and now, the number of guards looks three times as large as usual.

The arrangements were made here, and the guards reported that the thirteenth master was here.

"Uncle Thirteen?" Hongyun was happy at first, and then paused, "Is it a person?"

The guard said in a low voice: "With a dozen relatives, fifty meters away from the garden, the thirteenth master left people behind and came alone." ”

Hongyun nodded, "Please come in, Uncle Thirteen." Those who are with you, you go to a few people, send them a few sips of wine to go to the cold. ”

The guard immediately understood that this was to make himself obscure to look at the entourage.

Hongyun watched the man leave, and then slowly walked forward, ready to greet the thirteenth uncle.

Thirteen saw that there was a post in this garden, and he knew that the fourth sister-in-law was on guard.

"Uncle Thirteen. Honghui walked over quickly.

Thirteen nodded, "Take me to the fourth sister-in-law." ”

When Lin Yutong saw the thirteen who came in with Hongyun, he understood in his heart. If something happens to the fourth master, the thirteenth won't be able to come. Now that Thirteen is here, she only thinks of one possibility.

Sure enough, I heard the thirteen words: "...... The emperor is funeral......" Before everyone could cry, he said again: "Leave a will, let the fourth brother succeed to the throne and ascend the throne......"

The big stone in Lin Yutong's heart fell to the ground. It's not like everyone else, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. She took two deep breaths, slowly knelt down, and kowtowed in the direction of Changchun Garden.

Hongyun was also stunned, but he still pinched Hongzhao, and Hongzhao hurt suddenly, and he cried out ...... "Wow".

This kid didn't have a deep impression of the emperor, and he definitely couldn't cry at first.

Hongyun had to pinch him first. He didn't dare to pinch Hong, this kid had solid eyes, and he was afraid that he would break it.

As soon as Hongzhao cried, Mo Yaqi hurriedly cried: "Huang Ma Fa ......"

So Hongzhao was going to accuse when he saw Hongyun's expression and paused, and he was quite clever to follow Mo Yaqi to learn, "Huang Ma Fa ......" I hurt.

Hongshi also cried with humming, and cried loudly to Hongxuan, who was already asleep on the kang.

Hongyun wiped a handful of tears, and went up to help Lin Yutong up, "Yan Eniang, Uncle Thirteen is still busy." You see what to say. ”

Lin Yutong got up and only said: "If you have the opportunity to tell the fourth master or Honghui, just say don't let them worry about the family, with me and Hongyun, don't worry." ”

Thirteen looked at this nest of ghostly children, answered, and then got up and left.

When the thirteenth master left, the crying stopped.

Mo Yaqi asked in a low voice, "Ama is ...... now Your Majesty?"

I was amazed. Because of these imperial grandchildren, Hongyu and Honghui have spent the longest time with the emperor. Especially Honghui, who basically lived with the emperor this year. Sometimes the emperor discussed things with the courtiers, and he read and practiced calligraphy behind the screen and listened. Therefore, in addition to them, other people first felt mysterious and awe-inspiring for the emperor.

Just like Mo Yaqi's expression now.

Probably because he was too familiar with his own Amma, he suddenly felt that the person sitting in the seat that he could only look up at before was an acquaintance, and he felt incredible.

Hongzhao didn't have a clear understanding of these imperial powers, and only complained: "The second brother pinched me just now, Eniang." ”

Lin Yutong first patted Mo Yaqi's hand to comfort her, and then turned his head to Hongzhao and said, "It's okay, the loose skin will grow fast." ”

Hongzhao is ready, if E-Niang feels sorry for herself, how should she be coquettish, who would have thought that E-Niang said this. He was stunned for a moment: "......" I am definitely not born to Eniang, the second brother is!

Lin Yutong sent them away, "Let's all go to the kang and squint for a while, and it will be time for Ming'er to return to Beijing." ”

Hongyun didn't go, and helped Lin Yutong deal with trivial matters. For example, everything festive must be put away and hung with white cloth and white sails. Wait a minute.

In the Forbidden City in the middle of the night, everyone gathered in front of the bright plaque and took out the edict.

Manchu, Mongolian and Han three edicts.

Zong Zheng stubbornly said: "Do you want to invite the king of Zhijun and the abolished prince to announce it again." He didn't want to say that at this time, but it was his duty. What if in the future, whether it is the prince of Zhijun or the deposed prince, makes trouble on the grounds that they do not know and do not admit it? In any case, they have the right to have feelings.

The fourth master didn't embarrass him. He nodded, "Then go and please." ”

He knew in his heart that neither the eldest brother nor the second brother were like that.

As a result, it was dawn, and no one was invited again.

King Zhijun first fainted because of his daughter. It was easy to wake up, and I heard that the emperor had a heart attack because he fainted, and he died. At that time, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The deposed prince did not come. He didn't participate in this matter, and only begged the new monarch to allow him to give the emperor a funeral.

The rest of the clan relatives were sick overnight and couldn't get up. Make it clear that you don't participate. Anyway, no matter who was sitting on it, they all knelt the same. Why bother with it?

When the sun showed the horizon, Zhang Tingyu's voice sounded in the hall: "Emperor Daxing's edict...... Prince Yong's fourth son, Yinzhen, has a noble character, and he will be able to inherit the unification, succeed me to the throne, and succeed the emperor! ”

Immediately afterwards, it was Ma Qi who came out of the column and read out the Manchu edict. The Mongolian text was read out by Darhan, Prince of Korqin.

After reading it, Li Guangdi put the three copies of the edict on the table, and then picked them up one by one and displayed them in front of these kneeling elder brothers, so that everyone could confirm that this was the true edict.

After the three edicts were placed on the imperial case in front, Li Guangdi and the three summoned ministers knelt down.

Zhang Boxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, kowtowed to the imperial case, "Minister, I respectfully obey the will of Emperor Daxing." ”

Then everyone followed him and bowed three times and nine times to the imperial case.

After the ceremony was completed, the ministers headed by Li Guangdi, Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other cabinet ministers kowtowed to the fourth master and asked the new monarch to succeed him.

Only then did the fourth master stand up.

Honghui obviously felt that Ama was only relaxed at this time, and only then did he have time to be sad for Huang Mafa......
