Chapter 321

When Ye Yichen said this, he looked at Ye Minzhao with a faint mocking gaze, Ye Minzhao couldn't stand his gaze, and his fists were already clenched tightly.

Concubine Hui quietly held her son's hand and squeezed it hard, and Ye Minzhao endured it. Ding Ge arched his hand and said: "Lord, before the emperor died, he left an edict in front of the official and the celebrant Chen Gonggong, and it will be announced when all the princes and ministers arrive in a while." ”

Ye Yichen nodded, but he didn't ask the emperor who he passed the throne to, it seemed that there was nothing to ask about this matter, he just said lightly as if talking to himself, "The emperor was fine two days ago, why did he go suddenly?" Then the sharp gaze turned around on the faces of Concubine Hui and the other three. It only sent chills down everyone's spine.

Ye Yichen said to Concubine Hui: "The emperor has made a big move, I, as a younger brother, will always go to pay tribute, and ask Niangniang to send someone to guide the king!" ”

Concubine Hui said: "This is nature. But before that, this palace has a sentence to ask the prince. ”

"Speak, mother!"

"The first emperor is mourned! The palace heard that someone mobilized 100,000 troops and horses from the Xishan battalion to enter the Beijing division and approached the Forbidden City. I want to ask the prince, what does this person want to do? Rebel? Forced palace? Or is there something else going on? Although Zhao'er and I are orphans and widows, we will never be tied up! ”

Ye Yichen said with a smile; "The king knows a thing or two about this. The first emperor is newly mourned, some lawbreakers take the opportunity to make trouble, there have been many cases of smashing and looting in the Beijing Division, the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses Division to deal with the unfavorable, to the five armies of the Governor's Mansion for help, this king as the governor of the five armies, naturally duty-bound, the transfer of troops to maintain the security of the Beijing division is also the king's responsibility. Don't worry, don't be suspicious! As long as the emperor does not die unexpectedly, and some people do not take advantage of the emperor's inability to fish in troubled waters and usurp the throne, where did the 100,000 troops naturally come from and where do they go back. ”

It means that if there is really something boring here, then the 100,000 troops can enter the Forbidden City in minutes, "dare to call the sun and the moon to change the sky"!

The meaning of Ye Yichen's words is already very obvious.

Ye Minzhao was furious, and couldn't help but say, "You ......"

Ye Yichen didn't look at a teenager at all, he didn't look at him, he just looked at Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui secretly hated in her heart, so she didn't believe that Ye Yichen didn't know that she had arrangements in the palace at first. However, he pretended not to know, quietly arranged in secret, and took advantage of the emperor's death to mobilize troops into Beijing, and took the initiative in one fell swoop.

Ye Yichen understood what she meant, in the process of the transfer of power between the old and the new, if he didn't let this prince hold real power, he would definitely not be satisfied.

Chen Jia suddenly interjected: "The prince is the number one general of this dynasty, but you only brought one guard into the palace, so you are not afraid of ......" Although the latter words were not said, Ye Yichen could also understand.

He smiled indifferently and said, "This king has his own arrangements. As long as this king sends a message, an army of 100,000 will be able to enter the Forbidden City in an instant...... This king is an outlaw with a horse leather shroud, and it is not a pity to die, but the lives of the noble concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Lu are very expensive, so I don't think I will take the lives of so many of you to exchange the life of this king! ”

Ye Minzhao smiled coldly and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you do this, you will ruin all the rivers and mountains that your ancestors have worked so hard to build?" ”

Ye Yichen said: "You are wrong! In this world, there are not only you and me with the surname Ye! ”

"You mean there's Ye Minyu?"

"That's a good point!"

"But he's a thief!"

Ye Yichen sneered: "He's still now!" When you're dead, he's not! ”

This murderous conversation made Concubine Hui couldn't help but shudder. After Ye Yichen finished speaking, Concubine Hui had already preemptively said: "Chen Jia, you take the prince to pay homage to the remains of the emperor!" ”

Chen Jia agreed, Ye Yichen followed him out of the Baohe Palace, and the body of the orthodox emperor had been carried to the Hongxiao Hall and changed into the clothes that had been prepared for a long time. Because the time is still short, the orthodox corpse has not yet converged and put it into the Zi Palace, but is lying on a huge golden silk dragon spirit bed.

When Concubine Hui came out, she had already ordered the chamberlain to take a bath and put on makeup for the orthodoxy, and Ye Yichen could still see that the orthodox emperor's face was very unnatural. He didn't have the slightest affection for this royal brother during his lifetime, and he didn't feel sad after his death.

It's just that when he died, everything was empty, and Ye Yichen's little hatred for him was forgotten. Since he came, Ye Yichen gave him three sticks of incense, and then said to Chen Jia: "Let's go!" ”

Ye Yichen had been staring at the orthodox corpse just now, Chen Jia was about to break out in a cold sweat, and after listening to Ye Yichen's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took him back to the Baohe Palace.

After a while, the princes and ministers were almost all there. Suddenly got the news that the emperor was driving the guests, and knew that there were 100,000 soldiers stationed in the Xishan camp in the capital, and everyone couldn't help but feel worried. There was a lot of discussion in the Baohe Palace, like a vegetable market. And no one cares.

It wasn't until Ye Yichen and Chen Jia entered the Baohe Hall that everyone stopped their voices and looked at the two of them. Chen Jia and Ye Yichen confessed their guilt and went to the side room to invite Concubine Hui and King Lu.

Several cabinet ministers led by Shen Ge Lao were a little shocked when they saw Ding Ge Lao appearing in the Taihe Hall with Concubine Hui and King Lu.

Concubine Hui's mother and son stood at the top and announced, "Since all the adults have arrived, let's start quickly!" Presumably, everyone also knows that the first emperor died two hours ago! Her voice was mournful and infectious.

"The First Emperor!" Immediately there was a cry from below. Orthodoxy is not a good emperor, but he is generous and benevolent to people, and the ministers still have some feelings for him.

Concubine Hui pressed her hand, the crying below gradually stopped, and Concubine Hui said: "The first emperor left an edict before he died!" Chen Jia, you come to read the edict! ”

Chen Jia immediately took a step forward, opened the scroll of yellow silk that he had already held in his hand, cleared his throat and read:

"Please take the order, King Lu Ye Minzhao."

Ye Minzhao immediately knelt down in the direction of Hongxiao Palace.

Chen Jianian said:

"The emperor has never ruled the world, and he has never taken respecting the heavens and ancestors as the first priority...... this edict came from the hands of Ding Ge Lao, and it was brilliant in writing, and it was sprinkled with a large article, and everyone listened with their ears pricked up, for fear of missing a word. It wasn't until the end that the edict said, "...... The fifth son of the emperor, Min Zhao, is sincere and filial, and will be able to overcome the unification. After succeeding me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, obeying the public opinion system, holding the service for 27 days, releasing the proclamation at home and abroad, and the salty envoy heard about it. ”

Chen Jia finished reading the edict and said, "Please accept the decree of Your Highness!" "I have to hand over the holy decree to Ye Minzhao.

Ye Yichen snorted, thinking that it would be so easy for you to ascend to the throne justifiably, so he said: "Wait! ”

None of the people has bowed to the new emperor so far, and they are all looking at Ye Yichen's face. He didn't say anything, no one dared to speak, not to mention that he had 100,000 soldiers and horses outside, even if he didn't give him face, he had to give face to these soldiers. So everyone was watching Ye Yichen's actions.

Ye Yichen said slowly: "This king has something unclear, and I want to ask His Royal Highness the concubine and King Lu." Since the emperor is willing to pass on the throne to His Royal Highness King Lu, why is he unwilling to make you the crown prince? Didn't you write the edict in a hurry until before Bintian? Besides, why is this edict not written by Shen Shoufu himself, but Ding Ge Lao. If these things are not clearly explained, how can the subjects of the world be convinced? ”

The ministers below were also in a commotion, and what Ye Yichen said was reasonable, and they couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Concubine Hui had long expected that he would be so difficult, and had already thought of a countermeasure: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin doesn't know, the emperor actually has the idea of making Zhao'er the crown prince, since Ye Minyu rebelled, the emperor has made up his mind to make Zhao'er the crown prince and pass the throne to him, the emperor has said to the palace many times, ' The fifth son of the emperor is the most Xiao Zhen', the reason why he has not set up Wu'er as the prince for a long time, just to sharpen his temperament, the so-called jade does not make a weapon, this is the truth, the emperor originally wanted to set Zhao'er as the prince after a period of time, but he didn't want the Taihe Palace to suddenly catch fire, he was angry and attacked, and suddenly fell ill, and he only had time to leave an edict, so he ...... "Speaking of this, tears flowed down again.

After crying twice, Concubine Hui stopped crying in time and said: "The reason why I called Elder Ding Ge to come and draw up the edict was because the person who was on duty in the cabinet at that time was Elder Ding Ge. When she asked someone to call Ding Ge Lao, she thought of this, and asked Ding Ge Lao to go to the cabinet to order a meal before he came, which was also very useful at this time.

Ye Yichen sneered, he is not a fool, there are many strange things in this, and Concubine Hui has not given him a promise so far, how can he ask this nephew who hates him deeply to sit on the throne. He sneered, and was about to speak, when suddenly an inner servant hurriedly ran in and said: "It's a big deal, five days ago, Liu Zhang of Shu Han had restored the emperor's title and led an army of 300,000 to swear to the Northern Expedition, and now he has left Sichuan!" ”

"What?" Ye Yichen was taken aback. He had arranged a lot of detailed works in Shu Han before, and there had been news coming from him, but he had never received any news that Liu Zhang was preparing for the Northern Expedition.

Probably Shu Han heard about Ye Minyu's rebellion, who knew that when the army was sent just in time for the orthodox collapse and the country was in chaos, I have to say that Liu Zhang's luck was really good.

At that moment just now, he was even a little moved, wanting to oust Ye Minzhao and become the emperor himself. Because he saw in Ye Minzhao's eyes that he hated himself deeply. -- As long as you insist that the edict is fake.

In fact, he did not doubt the authenticity of the edict. The orthodox emperor only has one son, Ye Minzhao, left, and the throne can only be passed to him. He didn't expect Orthodoxy to finally find out in his conscience that he would be able to make such a decision.

But when he learned that Liu Zhang had sent troops, he hesitated again. If it was in peacetime, he was sure that he would remove Ye Minzhao from the emperor's throne, sit on it himself, and then settle the unconvinced princes in the provinces one by one. But now, if the new emperor cannot ascend the throne smoothly after the death of Emperor Daxing, it is likely that the country will be torn apart immediately.

At that time, Shu Han will get an opportunity, and it is very likely that he will destroy the Great Chu in turn and unify the Central Plains.

Although Liu Zhang, the current emperor of Shu Han, has not dealt with him, he has received information from all sides that he is a very eloquent emperor, and compared to his predecessor, he is not a little clever. Just look at the fact that he was able to raise an army of 300,000 in a short period of time. Although Shu Han occupies Sichuan, the country of abundance, the army of 300,000 is already the limit of the country's supply.

Obviously, Liu Zhang gambled on the entire national fortune this time. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

Just by looking at this determination, you know that he is not a simple person!

These thoughts flashed quickly in Ye Yichen's heart, after all, he was an orthodox cousin, and he didn't have enough legitimacy to be the Dragon Court. What's more, even if Ye Minzhao is killed, there is still a Ye Minyu who is more qualified to be the emperor than him.

Ye Yichen sighed secretly in his heart: "This is probably the will of heaven!" ”

Concubine Hui glanced at Ye Yichen, her gaze was very sincere. "The country can't be without a king for a day, and now that the dragons have no leader, how can they resist the sharp division of Shu Han? His Royal Highness the King of Jin should put the righteousness of the country first! Zhao'er is young, and it is difficult for him to govern even now that he is on the throne, and he still needs the careful guidance of His Royal Highness to protect the imperial industry...... The first emperor originally intended to make you the regent, and Zhao'er and I also had this intention. From now on, all major matters in both military and political affairs will be handed over to the prince first, and then reported to Zhao'er for knowing, what does the prince think? ”

said that he would hand over the power of the country to Ye Yichen and let him do it for him.

Ye Minzhao was furious in his heart, if this was the case, what else did he, the emperor, do here, he was completely a puppet. He shouted, "Mother! ”

Concubine Hui glanced at him fiercely: "You shut up for me!" ”

Ye Yichen had already made up his mind in an instant, now that the court was worried about internal and external troubles, if he forcibly ascended the throne, it was likely to lead to the collapse of the Ye family's dynasty, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only do this first.

Thinking of this, he knelt down first: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict of the emperor!" ”

Seeing that he agreed to Ye Minzhao's coming to power, everyone naturally had no objection, and knelt down and shouted: "Obey the order!" will assist the new emperor, bow and die! ”
