The first to come was the inner attendant who was originally in the palace.

The two of them are also common in the palace, Wu Zhengxiang greeted him, and learned that the emperor's family was gathering inside, and he also knew each other and waited outside.

It was an extraordinary night in the palace, and he naturally smelled something unusual.

The eunuch in charge of the province who can serve the province is also a person with great ability. What to say and what not to say, he knows what to say.

At the moment, he and Wu Zhengxiang were standing in front of the hall, talking about some inconsequential things.

The second one came was Fan Hanlin.

He has good knowledge and knows how to behave, and he doesn't ask the reason when he sees this, he stands with them and waits for the prime minister to appear.

Zhu Zihou was old, and Emperor Qinglong authorized him to sit in a sedan chair in the palace. But after all, it was the farthest away, and when he panted and climbed the steps in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, the sundial had already moved a square.

Everyone gathered, and the eunuch who sang the salute and shouted in a long voice to report inside.

In the palace, Emperor Qinglong had already explained the things that should be explained to Empress Cao and the crown prince.

In fact, in the past two years, he has already taught the prince what he should teach, and now he is just like ordinary people, telling some old people to worry about things.

Empress Cao originally wanted the crown princess and others to bring the emperor and grandson to him to see, but Emperor Qinglong said that there was no need, so as not to make him more and more worried.

At this time, Zhongshu Ling, Fan Hanlin, the inner servant, and the eunuch in charge of the seal all arrived, and he began to dictate the will.

The first is the decree of succession, and after he is great, he will be succeeded by the crown prince. This was followed by a series of edicts, in which the clan, nobles, and courtiers each rested on their own lives.

Then, it is the arrangement of what happened after his death, from simple and simple, do not disturb the people. This is because of his love for the people.

There are also arrangements for the concubines he stays behind. Those who have no heirs become nuns in Taimiao, and those who have adult princes follow the prince to the fiefdom to become a vassal. The rest of the people, etc., are compared to the practice of the first emperor.

Because of the smooth transition period of these two years, the situation in the DPRK is stable, and the rebels are ambushed. Emperor Qinglong did not give any other instructions, and left a holy decree to deal with the king of Ruyang.

More rewards will be reserved for the crown prince after he ascends the throne.

Fan Hanlin flew like a pen on the bookcase, and one after another holy decrees were drafted by him. He is worthy of being a two-list jinshi, and the allusion articles are at his fingertips, only a little draft, and he has not been seen to make revisions, and his rhetoric is dignified and solemn, and he has written a pen.

After Emperor Qinglong saw it, Wu Guangqi stamped the jade seal, Zhu Zihou stamped the seal, and the inner attendant made the holy decree and collected it.

In the temple, the decree is like a product being produced on an assembly line.

Among them, it is worth noting that Emperor Qinglong named Wu Zhengxiang as the Marquis of Wu'an, and after three generations, he was demoted to the rank of lord, and allowed him to set up his own door and reward a mansion in Beijing. At the same time, he was removed from the post of commander of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, and the third-rank Yunlu general was promoted to the title of second-rank governor.

Wu Zhengxiang received the order of gratitude.

This is Emperor Qinglong's love for him.

In the past two years, Emperor Qinglong and the crown prince have gotten along more closely than in the previous two decades. I saw his generous temperament on the surface and suspicious on the inside.

It's just that for the emperor, being suspicious is not a bad thing. The important thing is that he has the talent to govern the country.

Emperor Qinglong could see clearly that with the power of the crown prince, it was not difficult to govern a peaceful and prosperous world. But in terms of conspiracy, he is far inferior. Mo said that it was Wei Mingchen and Wu Zhengxiang, and Princess Zhaoyang was much stronger than him.

However, the dignified emperor, why do you need to practice this trick?

Therefore, Emperor Qinglong formulated a plan to capture Wei Mingchen in one fell swoop, at least to ensure the stability of Gao Mang for the next hundred years.

The only one who can't stand it is Wu Zhengxiang. But in this matter, only Wu Zhengxiang can cooperate with him tacitly, and in the end, he won a big victory.

In the final analysis, Emperor Qinglong's heart is still biased towards his son. He still did it when he knew that after doing this, the prince would only become more and more jealous of Wu Zhengxiang, and even get rid of it.

In order to, isn't it to clear the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne and find a broad road?

When his eyes are closed, he really can't control anything else, and his children and grandchildren are free. But what is under his nose, how can he not reach out and take care of it.

Therefore, this holy decree deprived Wu Zhengxiang of the position of commander of the cavalry guard, and rewarded him with a title and a second-grade false title, which has several meanings.

It seems that Wu Zhengxiang finally obtained his status from the concubine of the Zhongguo Mansion and became a noble industry. In fact, it is the loss of real power, and the vacant title is just glory.

This kind of will, when it falls into the eyes of the people who understand the capital, they know that this is the end of his life. He was still young, and in an instant, he fell from the peak to the trough of his life. was originally a second-rank military general with real power, but suddenly became a noble with only a knighthood.

Of course, becoming a marquis at such a young age as he can also be called a royal favor. But compared to his past, it can't be compared.

But only Wu Zhengxiang understood in his heart that Emperor Qinglong's doing this was just a slight compensation for him, and at the same time, it also made the prince have less murderous intent towards him.

A marquis with no wealth and glory does not pose any threat to the prince. has the grace of Emperor Qinglong to protect himself, as long as the prince has nothing wrong with his brain, he will no longer bother with him.

Not to mention that Wu Zhengxiang was secretly thinking about it in his heart, as one will after another was issued, Emperor Qinglong's energy was weakened. Even if Su Liangzhi stayed by his side, and used a century-old ginseng to lose his life, it would become more and more impossible.

The crown prince threw himself at the feet of Emperor Qinglong and said sadly: "Father, you just have a good rest, don't bother anymore." "How could he not understand that Emperor Qinglong did all this for him?

Emperor Qinglong gasped a few times, forced himself to finish dictating the last holy decree, looked at him and said, "Sheng'er, don't live up to my expectations. ”

The crown prince nodded violently, "Father, don't worry, the son will definitely do it!"

"Love the people...... Ruzi, love your siblings......" Emperor Qinglong smiled with satisfaction: "At this point, you are better than me." ”

The prince held his hand, felt his weakness and powerlessness, and couldn't help but feel sadness. In his heart, his father is a heaven-like existence, so powerful and brave, he admires it.

Once upon a time, he aged like this?

Emperor Qinglong looked at him and shook him with all his might. There are successors in the country, and he also has the face to meet the first emperor under Jiuquan.

With a satisfied smile on his lips, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Father, father!"

Feeling the weakness of Emperor Qinglong's hand loosened, the prince called out in grief.

Everyone changed color in unison, Su Liangzhi took a step forward, carefully probed Emperor Qinglong's snort, knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, you have died!"

Empress Cao hid her face and wept, and Wu Guangqi burst into tears.

Everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, and suddenly there were bursts of mourning, and the atmosphere of grief spread.
