After Fang Congzhe finished reading out the edict, he closed the edict and shouted: "Please Your Royal Highness the Prince, follow the edict of Emperor Daxing, ascend the throne in front of Emperor Daxing's spirit, and take the throne!" To feed the community, so that all the people return to their hearts! ”

After Fang Congzhe's words were finished, the ministers shouted:

"Please enthrone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the spirit!"

"Please enthrone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the spirit!"

"Please enthrone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the spirit!"

After the ministers shouted three times, they didn't see the prince's figure, which made the ministers very frightened, and they all lay on the ground and whispered uneasily.

When Zhu Hao saw this situation, he had some bad feelings in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "Wei Xiaobao, this waste!" Lao Tzu asked him to pick up the eldest brother to come over and ascend the throne, why did he go for so long and didn't come back, this is good, the edict was read out, but the prince did not come out to ascend the throne! What is this called? Wait for this little rabbit cub to come back and see if Lao Tzu can't clean him up! ”

Zhu Hao, who was thinking like this in his heart, saw Wei Xiaobao running back in a panic, there was no figure of his eldest brother behind him, seeing Wei Xiaobao coming back alone, Zhu Hao knew that there was an accident, and before Wei Xiaobao could speak, Zhu Hao hurriedly asked, "Why have you been there for so long?" Why did one person come back? What about the royal brother? ”

Listening to Zhu Hao's continuous questions, Wei Xiaobao knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "Your Highness, the slave should die!" The servants went to the East Palace, but they didn't see His Royal Highness the Prince, the servants searched the East Palace inside and out, but they didn't find any trace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the servants in the East Palace didn't know where His Royal Highness the Prince went! Your Highness, the minions should be damned! I didn't complete the task assigned by His Highness! Wei Xiaobao knelt on the ground and finished speaking, then slapped himself, and every time he fanned it, he said, "The slave should die!" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Hao couldn't bear it, and knew that this matter was his own negligence, and he couldn't blame Wei Xiaobao for it, so he frowned slightly and said, "You get up first!" This matter has nothing to do with you, you now hurry up and take someone to search the entire palace, you must find out the royal brother, and the ministers are still waiting for him to ascend the throne! ”

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he hurriedly puffed out his swollen face, and said with a little leaky mouth: "The slave obeys!" The slave will take people and go to His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

As soon as Wei Xiaobao's words were finished, a shrill shout came from behind him: "The concubine has arrived!" ”

As the voice fell, Concubine Zheng walked over, glanced at Zhu Hao with disdain, and snorted coldly: "Are you looking for the prince?" Concubine Ben advises you not to look for it, because you can't find it, and you can't bring it if you find it! ”

The meaning of Concubine Zheng's words was very clear, she was telling Zhu Hao that the prince was in her hands, and threatened Zhu Hao not to act rashly. Zhu Hao naturally understood the meaning of Concubine Zheng's words, and stared at Concubine Zheng coldly and shouted, "What are you doing here?" This is the Taihe Gate, the harem concubines are not allowed to trespass! ”

Concubine Zheng raised her eyebrows, sneered and said, "Oh? Taihemen? Concubines are not allowed to trespass? Then you can trespass as an ordinary prince? It's not your turn to teach this concubine a lesson! ”

Zhu Hao snorted coldly when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Someone is coming, ......" Before Zhu Hao's words were finished, Concubine Zheng interrupted Zhu Hao's words and said coldly: "Fifth prince, this concubine advises you not to act rashly, if there is anything wrong with this concubine, then no one can guarantee the prince's safety!" Don't think that if you take over the Praetorian Guard, you can be lawless! Concubine Ben has been in the palace for so many years, it's not something that you can compete with as a doll! But you did give the concubine a lot of surprises, the concubine wants to thank you, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, the concubine will give you a funeral for the emperor of Daxing, okay? ”

Listening to Concubine Zheng's unscrupulous words, Zhu Hao suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to negotiate with Concubine Zheng: "What are you going to do?" ”

Concubine Zheng dragged her chin when she heard Zhu Hao's words, as if she was thinking about something, and only after a moment did she murmur: "What is this concubine going to do......"

Speaking of this, Concubine Zheng's face was full of crazy looks, he took out a roll of yellow silk cloth from his arms, held it high above his head and shouted: "Emperor Daxing's edict!" ”

With the appearance of Concubine Zheng, the ministers had already begun to mumble, and when Concubine Zheng shouted "Emperor Daxing's edict!" When he said this, the faces of the ministers were all filled with panic.

The reason why the ministers panicked was because all dynasties had never heard that after the emperor's great trip, there would be two edicts, and if this situation occurred, there was only one possibility, that is, there was a forgery, and the forgery of the edict was such a big crime, and it was a royal secret, and they knew that these foreign officials would have a good end! There is a good chance that they will all be affected.

Compared with the panic of the ministers, Concubine Zheng's face was much calmer, she slowly opened the yellow silk in her hand and read aloud: "I have inherited the unification, I worry about national affairs day and night, and I have become ill from hard work, but God does not bless me, although there is an immortal medicine, it is difficult to change the destiny of heaven!" The first assistant of the cabinet, who is diligent and thrifty, is diligent in political affairs, and is actually the pillar of the Ming Dynasty! It is the will of heaven that I am gone, and the king of the future generations should not be angry because Lord Fang is looking for an immortal medicine for me, and do things that are harmful to the country and society.

Although I am not subject to heaven, the prince is young, cowardly temperament, embarrassed to take on the big responsibility, but fortunately there is the blessed king Chang Xun, tolerant and benevolent, filial piety and humility, worthy of the great responsibility, when the first emperor was there, every time he praised, I am not as good as the Fu King, after my death, I will entrust the society to the Fu King, so that the inheritance of the ancestors will be inherited! Let me not be shameless to see my ancestors and ancestors!

After my death, Chang Xun, the blessed king, inherited my unification, inherited the foundation of my ancestors, and was assisted by the secretaries, and will be able to open the peace of eternity. ”

The text of this edict is basically the same as the previous edict, but the person who succeeded to the throne was changed from the crown prince to the blessed king Zhu Changxun, and this blessed king is the biological son of Concubine Zheng, and its purpose is self-evident, Zhu Hao looked at Concubine Zheng with a crazy look and snorted coldly: "Okay, you are a poisonous woman, you dare to be coquettish, covet the big position, are you a fool to be a minister?" Who doesn't know that King Fu is your son, and who will believe you if you do this? You're disgraceful, you're disgraced by the whole royal family! ”

Hearing this, Concubine Zheng looked at Zhu Hao coldly, and did not let Zhu Hao's words deter her, but instead sneered at each other: "Jiao Zhao? Who's in the hands of Jiaozhao? Five princes, you should know best in your heart! ”

Saying that, Concubine Zheng looked at Fang Congzhe and said: "Fang Shoufu, before Emperor Daxing died, only Concubine Ben was present, Fang Shoufu, tell me, which one is the edict in the hands of you and me?" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Concubine Zheng ask Fang Congzhe, and looked at Fang Congzhe with a questioning expression on his face, but Fang Congzhe deliberately avoided Zhu Hao's gaze at the moment, and did not dare to look at him, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart when he saw this, when Concubine Zheng read out the edict just now, Zhu Hao had some doubts in his heart because the two edicts were too identical, but he didn't think about it, at this moment, he heard Concubine Zheng ask Fang Congzhe, and Fang Congzhe was this kind of weak-heartedness, Zhu Hao instantly understood, and said secretly in his heart: "Fang Congzhe, this old horseman, It should be that she had contact with Concubine Zheng, an old poisonous woman, in private, and reached a consensus. Looking at it like this, Fang Congzhe is going to turn against the water! ”

Just thinking like this in Zhu Hao's heart, under the gaze of the ministers, Fang Congzhe spoke: "What the concubine Niangniang said is true, before the death of the Emperor Daxing, this pavilion did not serve in front of the holy car, it was later that the five princes took the pavilion into the palace and forced the pavilion to write out the edict in the hands of the pavilion, the pavilion thought that the emperor died without an edict, and the prince succeeded to the throne in accordance with the law of etiquette, so there was no resistance. Let's follow the last orders of the emperor, welcome His Royal Highness King Fu into Beijing as soon as possible, and inherit the unification! After finishing speaking, Fang Congzhe ignored the uproar of the ministers and stopped talking.

Zhu Hao saw that things had changed so much, and when he decided that he couldn't wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne, he would take out Fang Congzhe's confession, if he let it develop at this moment, I was afraid that there would be a big mess.

Thinking like this, Zhu Haobei took out the piece of paper that Fang Congzhe had written down the confession before from his arms, and shouted loudly to the ministers: "My lords, please rest easy, the piece of paper in the hands of this prince is a confession written by Fang Shoufu himself, and it is clearly written that Fang Shoufu and Concubine Zheng conspired to poison the emperor, my lords, they have a conspiracy to take the throne, so their words are not credible, these two should be handed over to Jinyi Wei for strict interrogation!" ”

Zhu Hao said and looked at Concubine Zheng and Fang Congzhe demonstratively, Fang Congzhe's head was hanging very low at the moment, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Hao, but Concubine Zheng looked calm, and there was no trace of panic, which made Zhu Hao very puzzled in his heart.

Just when Zhu Hao was full of doubts in his heart, Concubine Zheng spoke: "Fifth prince, don't spew blood, you said that it is written on this paper that Fang Shoufu confessed to murdering Emperor Daxing with this concubine, do you dare to open this confession in public and show it to the ministers, so there is a proof!" Otherwise, you are framing the first assistant of the dynasty and the widow of the former emperor, this crime is not light! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Concubine Zheng's words, and thought: "Okay, you old poisonous woman, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, at this time, you dare to threaten Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu makes you cry for a while, and you can't find the tune!" ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Hao sneered: "Why don't you dare this prince, this prince is just to save some face for the royal family, since you are such a shameless poisonous woman, this prince doesn't have to worry about anything!" Zhu Hao said cautiously, turned the paper in his hand to himself, opened it to the ministers, and then shouted: "Adults, please look!" ”
