Chapter 1 The heart of the old courtiers at home

Nanking.

Compared to the dusty city of Beijing. This dusty is generally the wind and sand in the north, and the other half is a variety of projects in Beijing, which is even more dusty.

But large-scale urban architecture in Nanjing was rare after Hongwu Jianwen.

The only time that large-scale construction was was during the reign of Hongxi, when Emperor Renzong wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, so that the then crown prince, later Emperor Xuanzong, would come to inspect the palace in Nanjing.

Preparations are being made for a large-scale renovation of the Nanjing Palace.

But this situation came to an end with the death of Emperor Injong.

Since then, Nanjing officials have never built large-scale construction, coupled with the rainy weather in the south of the Yangtze River.

Let Nanjing be a little more graceful and luxurious.

But at this moment, Nanjing Hubu Shangshu Huangfu Mansion. Countless people are hurrying and coming and going.

Because of this past Taizu, Jianwen, Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, today, the elders of the Six Dynasties, the Ming Shaobao, the Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, the Nanjing Stay, and the Counselor Huang Fu. It has come to the end of its life.

Huang Fu was a student of Tai in politics, starting from the master of Xiangcheng County, and was later appreciated by Emperor Taizu, becoming a squire of the Ministry of Works, and later from Emperor Jianwen.

Became the minister of Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Taizong listed the list of Qing monarchs, and Huang Fu was on the list.

After Emperor Taizong conquered Nanjing, some people accused Huang Fu of being a traitor. Huang Fu responded: "The minister really deserves to die, but he died in the name of a traitor, and the minister refused to accept it until he died." ”

Emperor Taizong was lenient.

After the war in Annan, Huang Fu was the political envoy and criminal envoy of Annan. After 19 years of appeasing Annan, Annan was peaceful, and later Huang Fu was transferred away, and the war in Annan was out of control.

During the Xuande period, Huang Fu was transferred to Annan, but the general trend had gone, and Huang Fu was captured by the Annan people.

But the people of Annam did not dare to be rude to Huang Fu and sent Huang Fu back. After that, he was already guarding Nanjing.

It seems to be invisible in the political arena.

But no one can deny Huang Fu's status in Nanjing.

With Huang Fu here, the Empress Dowager was at ease in Nanjing.

It's just that the years are urging people to get old. Huang Fu is now eight out of seventy. After the winter, the bones of the body are all sorrowful. Nanjing's famous doctors have also seen it.

Said to prepare for the aftermath.

But just after the Chinese New Year, Huang Fu's spirit suddenly improved.

The children and grandchildren below are even more sad, and they all know that it is a return to the light.

Huang Fu leaned on the futon and asked his son, "Is there anything important in the imperial court?" ”

Huang Fu's son immediately took out the Zhengdan edict, knowing that Huang Fu's eyes were dizzy, he immediately read out the Zhengdan edict 1510.

The more Huang Fu listened, the more energetic he became. said, "Okay." ”

Huang Fu is not saying how good the content on the Zhengdan edict is. What he cared about was that such an important edict came from the emperor.

Not the Empress Dowager, not Yang Shi

Strange.

This shows that from the tenth year of Xuande to the present, it has been a full six years. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty finally took the throne.

If the name is not right, it is not good.

No matter how good the Empress Dowager is, she is not an emperor.

In particular, the Empress Dowager is getting older and older, and the emperor is getting older. Huang Fuyuan was in Nanjing, and he had also heard the emperor's name for being smart, and what he was most worried about was what conflict would break out between the empress dowager and the emperor.

At that time, it will be a great misfortune for the Ming Dynasty.

As for the rumors circulating outside about the Empress Dowager's return to power, Huang Fu only believed half of it.

As a political veteran, he knows it all too well.

Anything can happen until the dust settles. It's not for nothing that there is a backlash or something, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Dì Dū, can still be replaced, let alone so.

However, when the transfer of power is the most dangerous and variable.

It is also what Huang Fu is most worried about.

It must be known that Cixi was under house arrest between Guangxu, and the relationship between the two seemed to outsiders to be filial piety to the mother and son. Just overnight, the heavens and the earth suddenly turned.

Although Huang Fu did not know what Cixi did. But in politics, these tactics are never new.

Huang Fu was worried that something like this would happen.

But at this moment, from this Zhengdan edict, he saw that Zhu Qizhen unified the opinions of the six departments and five armies of the cabinet, because the opinions of everyone were not unified, this edict could not be promulgated at this critical moment of Zhengdan.

Such an emperor can no longer be said to have no real power.

Not to mention anything else, even the cabinet Yang Shiqi would not be willing to change the empress dowager to an emperor.

Zhu Qizhen's position, this is what everyone can't shake, including the Queen Mother.

For Huang Fu, this is great news.

Huang Fu came up happily and coughed a few times. Then he couldn't breathe. The children and grandchildren around him were shocked and immediately asked the doctor to come over.

But when the doctor came in, it was acupuncture and massage, and he was powerless after all.

After a while, the doctor said, "My lord, the oil is out of oil." There is really no way to do it for the small ones. ”

However, after a while, the mourning came from Huangfu Mansion, and then spread throughout the entire city of Nanjing. A fast horse in the city of Nanjing immediately reported the news to Beijing.

However, Huang Fujiu Town Nanjing, and the people of Nanjing also sent Huang Fu to the funeral. For a time, the city of Nanjing spontaneously fell into a white skin.

It's just that I never expected that the news would soon come from Hangzhou.

Yang Rong died of illness at Hangzhou Station.

Sanyang Bingzheng has been in power for several years, which can be called the iron triangle of stabilizing people's hearts, but he doesn't want Yang Rong to go home to save his relatives, so he will never go back. Yang Rong's death is more shocking than Huang Fu's death.

After all, although Huang Fu guarded Nanjing, he was in semi-retreat after all.

But Yang Rong is different.

As soon as Yang Rong died, there were a large number of backbones in the faction behind him, such as outside

Wang Ji, who led the troops, and even many officials of the Ministry of War, would fall into a situation of confusion.

This is the great earthquake in the political arena.

Let's be honest.

Yang Rong's death still has something to do with Zhu Qizhen.

In history, it was Yang Shiqi who first returned to his hometown to show his tomb. Then there was Yang Rong, Yang Rong was also seriously ill and died on the return trip. But that was already in the second half of the year.

This time, Yang Rong left Jingshi, and there were mostly reluctant elements.

And Yang Rong treats Xuanzong and today's father and son like this, which can be said to be dedicated. The matter of King Xiang's golden book was also Yang Rong's charge, and he was even mentally prepared to force the empress dowager to express his position in court.

Yang Rong also felt that after the emperor was in power, he would definitely be able to surpass Yang Shiqi and become today's henchman, just like when Xuanzong was there.

Although Yang Shiqi is the first assistant, Xuanzong's henchman is Yang Rong, and even many things that can't be put on the table are discussed with Yang Rong, such as the matter after the abolition.

It's just that the emperor's approach disappointed him too much.

The emperor almost abolished his actions of suppressing the nobles for more than ten years, little by little.

How can Yang Rong get by in his heart.

Yang Rong is already an old man in his seventies, although he is a few years younger than Huang Fu. However, when people are old, their physical condition often has a lot to do with their mood.

If Yang Rong is in a good mood and has enough energy, he will naturally have no problem if he supports it for a few more months.

But Yang Rong suffered such a blow. How can I get better, coupled with the long journey, after returning to Jian'an, Fujian, I found that almost all the people of his generation were gone.

The mood was inevitably affected, and on the way back, he was already sick before he arrived in Hangzhou.

It's just that the illness is not serious, and Langzhong in ordinary places is not good, so the escorted Jinyiwei took the risk of sending Yang Rong to Hangzhou and asked the famous doctor in Hangzhou City for consultation.

It's just like Huang Fu.

When I am old and my vitality is insufficient, I can't use the medicine of the tiger and wolf, but the power of the medicine is eased, but it can't cure the disease. And for the elderly, sometimes the illness comes very quickly and violently.

Yang Rong didn't even leave any last words.

On the third day of his stay at the Hangzhou Station, he drove to the west.

and Huang Fu are just front and back feet. It's really a companion on the Yellow Springs Road.

However, it will take a while for this news to reach Jingshi. In a sense, it can be regarded as a special fate.

And Meng Ying finally came to Kunming after a difficult trek.

And Mu Ang has already been waiting anxiously in Kunming.

As soon as Meng Ying arrived, Mu Ang brought the civil and military officials of the city to greet Meng Ying. Mu Ang couldn't stand Si Renfa anymore. Every moment he wanted revenge.

It's just that what he thinks may not be what Meng Ying thinks.

In any case, Meng Ying's arrival in Yunnan was also the battle of Luchuan, which officially kicked off, and hundreds of thousands of troops arrived one after another, tense and imminent.
