Chapter 90: Discussion in the Great Hall

Concubine Ning stood up, and her long palace skirt dragged on the ground, like a light veil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The personal palace maid on the side of info pulled up the skirt for her and walked out of the palace door proudly.

Concubine Ning's hand held the holy decree.

The will to appoint the second prince as the prince has been prepared, and now all that is needed is to read this holy decree in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Niangniang, Song Guogong asks to see you."

Concubine Ning's picturesque eyebrows twitched slightly, "Let him come over." ”

Originally, Song Guogong's involvement in the case of Dangtu County had already aroused the emperor's anger and he was imprisoned in prison. After he was the founding of the country, he was spared death and his property was confiscated, and now even if he was released by Concubine Ning, he only left the title of a national prince.

Then the pot-bellied Song Guogong appeared in front of Concubine Ning, he salivated and showed a harmless smile on his face, "Niangniang, everything in the palace and outside the palace has been arranged." ”

Concubine Ning looked at him a little arrogantly, gasped slightly, and asked, "Where is Zhao Mu?" ”

Although Concubine Ning's attitude towards him has changed a lot now, Song Guogong doesn't mind at all, now he is just a dog, servile and charming.

"Thanks to Niangniang Hongfu, now General Jiang has blocked them and trapped them outside the city."

Hearing this, Concubine Ning showed a knowing smile. Now for her, the biggest confidant is no longer the emperor, but the prince outside the city.

However, as long as the elder brother trapped him outside the city, after the holy decree was announced to the world, Concubine Ning would have time to pick up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Go and gather the civil and military officials."

Concubine Ning looked sideways at the old eunuch and spoke, everything was decided.

Now that the palace and the palace are all her people, no one can threaten her plans anymore, as long as her son sits on the throne, she Concubine Ning is fearless!

In the main hall, the civil and military officials who were summoned all stayed in the hall, and they stood together in three or five of them, talking in a low voice, and looking at the old eunuch in front of the dragon chair in a whisper.

"Taifu, what did you say happened to Concubine Ning summoning hundreds of officials?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu came to Shen Fuguo and asked in a low voice.

Shen Fuguo was not shocked, looking at the civil and military officials around him, he didn't know what to think about in his heart. Finally, he looked at Song Guogong, who was not far away, and said in a flat tone: "Probably Your Majesty has some will." ”

"Your Majesty?" The tone of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was incredible, and he couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty has long been delirious, where can there be any will?" ”

"Really?" Shen Fuguo just smiled and stopped talking.

"Concubine Ning has arrived!" With the eunuch's loud announcement, Concubine Ning, who was dressed in a luxurious palace dress, was embraced.

The discussion of the civil and military officials gradually became quieter, and I saw Concubine Ning Niangniang slowly walking to the steps in front of the dragon chair with the old eunuch beside His Majesty.

Concubine Ning nodded to the old eunuch and signaled that he could start reading the holy decree.

The old eunuch took out the holy decree and looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and his voice was hoarse and filled the entire hall.

"The crown prince Zhao Mu is immoral, playful and willful, and he has stayed in Jiangnan for a long time and has not returned. If you don't think about the society in your heart, what is the use of the name of the prince? Where is the world and where is it? Today, there is a foreign soldier Chen Helan Mountain, who is suffering from internal and external troubles, and I am seriously ill and knows the destiny of heaven. Now the second prince is virtuous, deep and bowing, and will be able to inherit the unification, succeed me to the throne, and succeed the emperor. ”

The whole will is to accuse Zhao Mu of being unworthy of the position of prince, saying that he is not filial piety, greedy and capricious, and he does not want to return when the emperor is critically ill, and now he wants to pass on the throne to the second prince.

After the holy decree was read, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.

Some agree, some disagree, and more just sit on the sidelines and do not express any opinions.

"Dare to ask Concubine Ning, is this holy decree really what Your Majesty meant?" Of course, it is impossible to have dissent, after all, there are still supporters of the crown prince Zhao Mu, and many ministers have begun to question the authenticity of this holy decree.

Concubine Ning's face remained unchanged, she had already guessed that the ministers would have objections, and she had already made all preparations.

The old eunuch got Concubine Ning's eyes, took out something from her arms, held it high above her head, and let the eyes of the ministers investigate.

"This is the heirloom jade seal?"

The ministers all recognize this thing, this is the jade seal of the Great Zhou Emperor, usually only when it is passed on to the new emperor, in the past, there will be the first emperor to keep it properly, and now it appears in this hall, or it appears with the holy decree, the authenticity can be imagined.

Suddenly, the discussion in the hall had subsided, and the shouts of doubt were even more inaudible.

At this time, a palace maid hurriedly ran into the main hall and whispered in Concubine Ning's ear: "Niangniang, I just got the news." Your Majesty, he's gone. ”

"Funeral?" A trace of sadness and dazedness flashed in Concubine Ning's eyes, and she was replaced by her own madness in an instant.

It's good to be funeral, and now it's best to have no worries. Now that this decree has become a testament, its power is even more different.

I thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, I was trying to find a way to make the emperor die, but I didn't expect that God would be so beautiful and save myself a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still on top of the Golden Palace, Concubine Ning couldn't wait to laugh out loud, although she was in a state of unbearable emotion, she still tried to keep her calm.

"I just learned the news, Your Majesty is dead."

"Your Majesty!"

It was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the Chinese military officials of the entire hall knelt down and shouted "Your Majesty" in unison.

After some deep pain, Concubine Ning also wiped a few handfuls of tears in front of the ministers, and said with sobs: "Your Majesty is dead, and you should retire from the court." The matter of the new emperor will be discussed later. ”

"!" After Concubine Ning finished saying that, Song Guogong naturally found it out and said loudly: "As the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, now that the first emperor has died in the sky, the new emperor should be crowned and enthroned, and it must not be delayed." ”

"Song Guogong's words are wrong, as a courtier, now that His Majesty is funeral, he should hold a big funeral first, and then come to the court to discuss the matter of the new emperor." In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the voice of disagreement also appeared, this is an old Confucian, in charge of the Hongwen Pavilion, and is a supporter of the prince's orthodoxy.

Concubine Ning glanced at the old Confucian secretly, closed her eyes and did not speak, as if she was mourning the emperor's funeral.

"The old bachelor's words are very heartfelt, where are you putting Your Majesty, the people of the world? Now the people of Jin are looking forward to it, if they learn that the emperor is dead, and the country is with the king, the front-line soldiers will be demoralized. If the people of the Jin Kingdom go south, what face does the old bachelor have to face the emperor? ”

Song Guogong's words made the old bachelor dare not answer, because no matter how he answered, it would be disrespectful, and after thinking of it, he silently retreated among the hundred officials.

"Even so, the ministers should also go to see the emperor first to show their heart. Then the matter of the new emperor was established. Shen Fuguo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. (To be continued.) )
