Chapter 229: False Edict
"Jiufang Gao Xiangma, see what he sees, don't see what he doesn't see; Look at what they see, leave what they don't see, so they get the horses of the world. ”
Mei Yin replied calmly, and the three people beside him looked happy.
The minister thought that the three adults were reasonable. The throne of the imperial grandson is the horse of the world, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety are the color of the horse's coat, and the imperial grandson cannot lose the horse of the world for the sake of the color of the coat. ”
Zhu Yunwen sighed heavily, and the only remaining bit of beautiful light had been completely extinguished.
Perhaps no king in the world dared to really recognize himself, and he had a premonition that he would become a person he did not know.
"The Imperial Grandson?" Qi Tai made a tentative sound, as long as the imperial grandson agreed, he would immediately propose a plan to fake the edict.
Zhu Yunwen nodded, his eyes blank.
Qi Tai hurriedly said: "The first emperor was concerned about the imperial grandson, and he would definitely worry that the kings would covet the throne and threaten the safety of the imperial grandson, so he left an edict ......"
Under the deterrence of the "edict", the air in the room instantly froze, and everyone did not move.
"The first emperor issued an edict forbidding the kings to enter the capital to mourn!" Qi Tai completed his first plan for the new generation of princes.
Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru finally understood that when Qi Tai first came, he kept asking everyone if they had the intention of leaving an edict from the emperor.
Huang Zicheng's face was ashamed, ashamed that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
He hurriedly bowed to the ground and shouted: "First Emperor Shengming! ”
Fang Xiaoru and Mei Yin also knelt down and shouted: "First Emperor Shengming! ”
The stagnant air fell into the pan with a piercing popping sound.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to cover his ears, but the sound was like a hammer hitting the door of his head, like a sharp knife priing open his heavenly spirit cover, like a drill turning the world upside down in his brain.
They forced him to do something that was sorry for his uncle, and now they are going to pretend to be an edict to force him to do something sorry for the emperor's grandfather.
As soon as the imperial grandfather closed his eyes, they were lawless and cheating, are they really the people whom the imperial grandfather trusts and chooses to help him govern the country?
"No...... No......" Zhu Yunwen buried his face in his hands and shook his head desperately, "It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion, this palace won't do anything against the truth!" ”
Mei Yin and Fang Xiaoru stared at the silent ground, and Qi Tai looked at the back of Zhu Yunwen's head in pain.
They knew that they had to give Zhu Yunwen a little time, even if it was the most critical moment, they had to squeeze out a little time.
Huang Zicheng's eyes swirled back and forth among the other four, his lips moved from time to time, trying to say something, but he finally endured it.
The wick of the oil lamp fluttered in what little grease remained, and the light flickered and flickered.
The envoy poked his head by the door, repeatedly gauging whether it was the right time to come in and refuel.
He had never seen the emperor not face the minister with a straight face, and in such a situation, he had to think twice about any of his actions.
"Imperial grandson," after everyone got a respite, Mei Yin was the first to speak, "Wechen received the news that in the past month, King Yan has often gone out of the city to train his troops, and Wechen is worried about ......"
"King Yan must have a different heart, the first emperor is seriously ill, what kind of soldiers is he training at this time? He's going to take these soldiers back to the sky, right? Huang Zicheng was in a hurry, and the volcano he was brewing had finally found a breakthrough.
Zhu Yunwen raised his head and looked at Mei Yin in a daze: "Don Ma, is this true?" King Yan ......"
"It's true, Weichen doesn't dare to say anything!" Mei Yin's expression was solemn, and her solemn tone was unquestionable.
"The imperial grandson can't hesitate any longer, and he should make a decision immediately, and he should immediately announce the edict." Qi Tai struck while the iron was hot.
"The emperor's grandson, it's not our courtiers who want to force the emperor, it's really the princes who are forcing the emperor!" Fang Xiaoru said.
"This ......" Zhu Yunwen stretched his neck, feeling breathless.
He couldn't tell now whether the minister forced him more, or the prince forced him more.
He threw away the imperial grandfather and the king of Yan, thinking about what he would do if his neck was tied to a rope?
The first thing is to stop struggling!
"Prepare an edict." Zhu Yunwen's voice was faint, as faint as the light of an oil lamp.
The four ministers looked at each other again. They looked at each other many times tonight, like a group of conspiring gangsters.
"Master Fang, the handwriting you imitate is the most similar, this edict will be written by Master Fang." Qi Tai said, he had thought about everything, before stepping into the Fengtian Temple.
"Yes, yes, yes, written by Master Fang." Huang Zicheng couldn't wait to replace Neishi, and immediately began grinding.
"Okay, let the minister write it." Fang Xiaoru took on this important task with all his might.
The envoy appeared at the most opportune time, filled the oil lamp with oil, grabbed the ink stick, and sharpened it quickly.
Fang Xiaoru held the pen and dipped it in ink, and with the brightest light, he would write down the guarantee brought to the imperial grandson and the Ming Dynasty.
"In addition to writing that the kings are not allowed to return to Beijing for funeral, it must also be written that officials in various places must obey the control of the imperial court." Qi Tai said before Fang Xiaoru put pen to paper.
Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately applauded: "Lord Qi is clever, and officials from all over the country must obey the imperial court!" Now there are three guards in each palace, and each guard leads 3,000 soldiers, which is not enough to rebel. But if other officials can be controlled by the prince, especially the king of Yan, the north belongs to the king of Yan, and he can have up to five or six hundred thousand troops. Danger also! ”
"Imperial grandson, what do you think?" Fang Xiaoru asked Zhu Yunwen that his pen still had to wait for this last order.
"You decide." Zhu Yunwen sulked and was disheartened.
He didn't expect to take over his grandfather's baton, and as the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't make a choice in the first thing he faced.
Fang Xiaoru put down the pen, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, hearty.
Soon, a testament made by Zhu Yuanzhang was placed in front of them.
After Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Mei Yin saw it, they nodded frequently.
They handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "Imperial grandson, take a look at the edict of the first emperor." ”
Zhu Yunwen slowly raised his head and took the edict tremblingly. The familiar handwriting appeared in front of him, and his tears welled up:
I have been in the Mandate of Heaven for 30 years, and I have been anxious and diligent, and I have been diligent every day to benefit the people. Nai comes from a humble beginning, without the wisdom of the ancients, good and evil, not too much. There is one in seventy this year, the strength is weak, the day and night are in danger, and the fear will not end. Now we have the natural principle of all things, and there is a sense of ridicule and sorrow. The emperor's grandson Yunwen is filial piety, the world is in the heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the throne. Internal and external civil and military ministers work together to assist the government to benefit our people. Funeral rituals, no gold and jade. Announce to the world, it is appropriate to ascend to the throne, so that you know your intentions. The mountains and rivers of Xiaoling are not changed because of this. The subjects of the world, crying for three days, are all relieved, and there is no harm in marrying. The kings are in the kingdom, and they do not go to the capital. Where the kingdom is located, the civil and military officials listen to the control of the court, but the guards and soldiers listen to the king. Those who are not in the order will be pushed to do so. ①
