Chapter 31

On the second day, the palace ban was lifted, and the military tents of the Changshui Army and the Xiyuan Army were all moved to the outside of Yongle Palace.

When he walked out of Yongle Palace, the sky was slightly bright, and a warm red light appeared behind the East Palace, and Jian Shuo rang the bell on the upper floor of the palace.

The bells, everywhere, were full of bells, and the whole palace was soaked in the bells on this morning.

Then, the entire Luoyang City was also woken up by the bell, the continuous bell rang out, the mighty gate of Kaiyang Gate was opened, and hundreds of herald cavalry galloped out, and they rushed to all parts of the world with their respective missions to convey the news of the death of Emperor Liu Hong of Daxing. In the near future, the officials and scholars of the prefectures, counties, and counties of the world will rush to Luoyang to mourn for Emperor Daxing.

This is the fifth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Zhongping.

Morning.

The imperial court has not had an early dynasty for a long enough time, thanks to the blessing of the first emperor, when the first emperor was alive, the early dynasty was mostly every three or five days, so this time the rebellion between the two palaces did not surprise many princes and ministers.

Jian Shuo went to Yongle Palace to serve the little prince and the Empress Dowager Dong, Ma Yue stood at the door of the Xuan Room, looking at the civil and military officials who walked quickly into the middle under the towering palace gate, and frowned unconsciously.

In fact, these people all know what has happened recently, right? It's just that they don't say a word, everyone is secretly talking underneath, secretly watching the development of events, but they are all disgustingly silent. No one knows what's going on in their hearts!

When many people walked past Ma Yue, they all bowed their heads and bowed their hands, those who knew and those who didn't know, they all knew what the fierce young man in filial piety clothes in front of the door of the Xuan Room was called, what he was, and what he had done.

All the scholars drooped their faces, many people didn't even dare to grow a mouthful, these days the bad news came out of the palace one after another, first the general died, and then the Qingzuomen bloody battle hundreds of officials died, and then His Majesty died, now they all changed into court clothes and entered the palace, but the Yulin on both sides of the road did not put down their weapons!

It was like a nightmare that I haven't woken up from.

As long as the young man remains, this nightmare may never wake up.

It's a bad feeling.

"Da Changqiu, you can lead the way, Emperor Daxing's Zigong is over there." Ma Yue lowered his head and shook his eyes over the courtiers, and said with a smile at Zhao Zhongpi: "But it's hard for you." ”

Among these courtiers behind him, there is Yuan Kui who is hobbling and walking, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who are cold eyebrows, Cao Cao who has a serious face, and Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, who is more than half a hundred years old, on his left and right! He Miao, the general of the cavalry, and Dong Chong, the general of the hussars, were also among them.

"Eh, no, the old slave is here to lead the way, lead the way." Zhao Zhongzhang let them be in front of this Ma Yue now, but they don't dare to be powerful anymore, don't care who it is on both sides, Ma Yue always wins better than the shogunate, and now He Miao and Ma Yue can keep them, so they are now low, Zhao Zhong bowed his waist all the way and arched his hands to go, the thousand steps in the palace He has walked thousands of times in his life, but now this time is the most tired time he walks, and Zhao Zhong almost climbed up the stairs with his hands and feet.

The moment the dormitory was opened, everyone at the door was shocked.

I saw that the Jiade Hall was hung with a plain white curtain tent, and the things of the light mirror had been covered, and the Daxing Emperor Liu Hong changed into a new imperial dress and stopped on the couch. The small coffin and the big coffin are both complete, and they are temporarily placed in the corner of the hall. The six tables are equipped with Dongyuan secret vessels, gold and silver wine utensils, Zhang Qicong rings, bows and arrows, Ding Ke retort cups and objects that Liu Hong liked to play with during his lifetime.

The bells and bells of the funeral are complete, the vermilion lacquer is freshly painted, and the text is divided into the sun, the moon, the bird, the turtle, the dragon, the tiger, the lianbi, and the glaive, all according to the ritual system. The spiritual arrangement has been completed, the incense burner is endless, the lights are always bright, with Hou Zhu, the snake sword, and the six seals of the Son of Heaven are listed on the offering table, and the most conspicuous thing is the jade seal of the country that is inlaid with gold horns in the middle of the Ming Ming!

Hussar General Dong Zhong took two steps forward, raised his hand and touched Ma Yue and asked in a low voice, "Jun Hao, this, this is all prepared by you?" ”

Ma Yue shook his head lightly, and said to Jian Shuonu, who was kneeling down under the throne of Emperor Daxing in the hall: "It's all the credit of that person, and it is a matter of etiquette that I don't understand." ”

"Jian Huangmen has a heart." Dong Zhong nodded lightly and sighed, thinking about it, it was no problem for Ma Yue to fight to the death with those people in the shogunate, and let him get these things related to the rituals, I was afraid that it would not be good. Thinking about it, Dong Chong bowed his hand to Ma Yue and whispered: "San Lang, I couldn't help you before, it's really ......."

Ma Yue shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a sincere smile: "Don't talk about this, isn't it the same now, after today, you will be the uncle of the country, you must think about your nephew." ”

The two looked at each other, their faces were very eager, but Ma Yue's heart was cold, relatives, eunuchs, and scholars were all behemoths in the court.

I've come this far, which one can I believe?

Today, Dong Chong has become the uncle of the country, and he can talk to himself with a smile, but if the scholars pour into the Hussar Mansion again like they did with He Jin, it is difficult to ensure that the two of them will become He Jin and Zhang Rang again.

When Ma Yue and Dong Zhong were talking in front of the palace, the eunuchs and old ministers were already crying in a mess at Zigong.

Not long after, news came from the Yellow Gate that Taiwei Ma Riyan, Situ Ding Gong, and Sikong Liu Hong had already been waiting in front of the Nangong Gate with hundreds of officials, and there were already incumbent officials distributing plain clothes and auspicious clothes, and everything was ready.

Ma Yue was about to step inside, when he saw Zhao Zhong hearing the news, he wiped two handfuls on his face, bowed down and climbed under the couch of the first emperor, held the jade seal of the country with both hands and raised it above his head, slowly withdrew and said to Ma Yue: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and please Guangluxun quickly enthrone the new emperor." ”

As soon as Zhao Zhong took the lead, the surrounding eunuchs, the guards in the palace, and others all knelt down at once, and bowed down to Ma Gao: "Please Guangluxun quickly enthrone the new emperor!" ”

Heirloom jade seal!

The cold hair on Ma Yue's body suddenly stirred up, and in front of him was the jade seal of the country!

The heirloom jade seal is only an arm's length away from him, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can hold this stone that symbolizes the authority of the world in his arms!

But he pushed it out.

"Ma Yue is just a foreign minister, and he can't do such a big thing." As he spoke, Ma Yue pushed the hussar general Dong Chong over, supported him and said: "Dong Hussar is highly respected, please Dong Hussar to serve the new emperor on the throne!" ”

Today he took this jade seal, and tomorrow there will be a scholar of the Manchu Dynasty who will criticize him, and he doesn't want to do this!

Dong Chong's hand stretched out halfway, looked at Ma Yue, and asked, "What's that...... Jun Hao, I'm coming? ”

After Ma Yue nodded, Dong Chongcai took the jade seal, and walked to Yongle Palace surrounded by Ma Yue and Chang Shi to invite the new emperor.

"Jun Hao, will there be changes today?" As soon as Ma Yue helped Dong Chong, Dong Chong glanced at Ma Yue very suspiciously, and he obviously felt that Ma Yue was still wearing an iron coat under his court clothes.

Dong Chong is now too dependent on Ma Yue, and at that time, even his relatives were not optimistic about things, but this young Jiuqing integrated all the forces in the palace with his own strength, and forced the general's mansion to kill the general, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty could underestimate him.

"Ah, Dong Huqi doesn't have to worry too much." Ma Yue shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be any variables today, and no one can stop the little prince from taking the throne." ”

The chickens and dogs jumping a few days ago were all for the foreshadowing of such a day, and at this moment, as long as the succession is taken out, no one can stop it.

"Jun Hao, thanks to you this time, don't worry, when the matter of the first emperor is over, I will immediately show the queen mother to give way to the hussar general to you, I have no great talent, and it is really a corpse vegetarian meal to ascend to the general's throne."

"Why did the general say this, don't worry, even if the hussar general gives way to me, I won't want it." Ma Yue looked at Dong Chong and smiled, let's not say whether Dong Chong's words are sincere, even if it is true, Ma Yue will not want this, he does want the position of general, but not the hussar general, he said in a low voice: "What I want is the general of the chariot cavalry!" ”

"Isn't the general of the chariot cavalry He Miao?" Dong Chong muttered to himself, suddenly turned his head and looked at Ma Yue with wide eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Jun Hao is going to kill them all?" ”

"No, no." Ma Yue hurriedly shook his head, the word "kill everything" is so ruthless, I can't admit it! He just waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished the things that the first emperor has explained." ”

What the first emperor explained, what can the first emperor explain? The new emperor of Gongwei has done a good job, so all that remains is to purge the enemy, and when it comes to killing people, Dong Zhong shuddered when he thought about it.

Seeing that they are about to walk to Yongle Palace, pieces of military tents have come into view, and the sergeants with helmets and armor are patrolling back and forth to defend, the armor on these sergeants is inconsistent, there are the standard armor of the North Army of Changshui Camp, there are also the Xiyuan military uniforms of the Captain's Department of the Military Academy, and there are also the Langguan armor of the Tiger Ben Army, which are not subordinate to each other, but they all have one thing in common, the white scarf on their foreheads is tied with the spirit of not being close to the living.

"Yes, Dong Huqi, you wait a minute." Ma Yue suddenly thought of something, signaled to Dong Chong, and then shouted loudly: "The team pauses for a moment!" ”

Good fellow, the long procession to welcome the new emperor came to a standstill on the palace road, and the horse walked briskly towards a group of patrolling sergeants, and then into an officer's tent.

There were whispers in the procession to welcome the new emperor, so many princes and ministers were waiting because of your Ma Yue's words and so on? Even the new emperor and the queen mother are waiting for you in Yongle Palace?

Sikong Liu Hong whispered to Taiwei Ma Riyan: "Ma Gong, this Guangluxun is still your son and nephew, how can you ......?"

"Alas...... The marching formation was a leader. Ma Riyan sighed, back then, the family felt that this Ma Yue was too wild, if he could do something good, it was not impossible to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but fortunately he didn't let him recognize his ancestors, and he was suddenly mixed up in the seizure." It's hard to put into words. ”

Ma Yue walked to the tent, Changshui Captain Yan Xing was sitting in the tent, Ma Yue immediately said: "Let the Changshui sergeants are ready, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will go to the East Palace to garrison, and be optimistic about Queen He and the ten permanent attendants, and all the permanent attendants will be taken down in these days!" ”

Yan Xing was taken aback by Ma Yue's sudden entry into the account, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "No! ”
