Chapter 135: The Emperor (Second Update, Asking for Support)

The emperor's guard of honor is very magnificent, very mighty, even in this freezing snow, it is very eye-catching, and there is a large team of men and horses to guard, this scene is very spectacular.

The imperial mausoleum of Tianshou Mountain is not close to Beijing, and it is a hundred miles away. Because the guards of honor are all on foot and Zhu Youlang's physical relationship, so the team walked very slowly, it took three days, the team arrived at the imperial tomb of Tianshou Mountain, after coming to the imperial tomb, Yongli did not immediately get off the carriage, at this time he was unable to get up again.

"Your Majesty, let's go, we've arrived, and we've arrived at the Changling Tomb of Emperor Chengzu......"

Wang Kun, who has been by the emperor's side, was crying in his tone when he shouted to the emperor. For so many years, he has been accompanying the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to become like this.

"Help, lift me up......"

Zhu Youlang held on and wanted to get up.

"I, I want, give a kowtow to Emperor Chengzu."

Wang Kun held back his tears and helped the emperor up, he gently raised one of his arms, at this moment, he felt the bones in the emperor's hands trembling, it felt as if the bones in his body were swaying from side to side, swaying.

"Help, help me down......"

Zhu Youlang stood up, although his skin had festered, but he still held his body, finally, with the support of the eunuch door, he got out of the sedan chair, he turned a blind eye to the cold wind outside the car, and after walking a few steps forward, he was so tired that he could no longer support it. He knelt directly on the ground, and when he kowtowed to the imperial tomb, the tears flowed down, no one knew what he was thinking at this time, he just knelt silently. At this time, he got his wish, and for many years, he had imagined this day countless times, returning to the Forbidden City and paying homage to the imperial tomb...... Today, I finally have no regrets.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

Seeing that a layer of snow had fallen on the emperor's shoulders, the gentry wanted to help the emperor up, but Zhu Youlang asked him again after getting up with his support.

"That's the one to the south?"

After knowing the location of the south, Zhu Youlang knelt down again,

"Emperor Gao is above, today the world can return to the Han family, so that my Han family will not be bullied by foreign races, it is already blessed by God, the descendants are incompetent, and the world is lost, but it is also ...... Today is unshakable......"

When Zhu Youlang, who was kneeling on the ground, said these words, small fragments of tissue from his lungs and liver began to gush out of his mouth, and flakes bloomed on the snow with blood.

"The Emperor's ......"

Wang Kun hurriedly supported the emperor, looking at the blood stains that were spit on the ground, and cried even more.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace, let's go back to the palace......"

And Zhu Youlang, who had blood in his mouth, did not get up, he looked at the ministers who were driving, and those ministers had already knelt in the snow one after another, all crying bitterly.

"I have been on the throne for 16 years, there are no soldiers in front of the palace, no money in my hands, you have been with you for 16 years, I am the king of the dead country, you and other ministers are not the dead country, today ...... With such a number of qi, the people of the world can get rid of their hands and die without being shaken, and they will be worthy of the emperor......"

At this time, Zhu Youlang's words were intermittent, and these small fragments of internal organs made him cough and even suffocated, so that his speech was even more unclear.

“…… When I die, I have no face to see my ancestors in the ground, so I should remove the crown and cover my face with hair, and I shall not be buried in the imperial mausoleum......"

The ministers who followed the worship and listened to the emperor's words, all of them kowtowed and wept bitterly, knowing that this might be the emperor's edict.

"Li Chu, he wants to be the emperor, I give way to him, please don't hurt one of my people, don't hurt my people. Sue and tell him that in the world, the virtuous live in it, and he, even if he is the emperor, what can he do without virtue. Today, today, he, he can usurp the throne, he will be, he will be replaced by the virtuous......"

After saying this, Zhu Youlang's breath gradually disappeared, and his body had fallen softly, if it wasn't for Wang Kun supporting him, I'm afraid he would have fallen directly on the snow.

"The emperor, the emperor died......"

After Wang Kun cried and said this, the ministers kowtowed again, and the crying became louder, and the surrounding Jinyi guards also knelt down at this time, even those generals and soldiers sent by the king of Chu to "protect" the emperor. also knelt down one after another.

The emperor is gone!

Just walked away in the imperial mausoleum.

The snow fell heavily on this day, and when Zhu Youlang's breath gradually disappeared, the snow was even bigger. Wang Kun, who was holding the emperor, looked at the emperor, although the face seemed to be festering, but he could see a smile.

The emperor is smiling at Jiuquan.

Wang Kun knew why the emperor laughed, because ...... Although he was shameless to face his ancestors, he was also worthy of the world, at least now that the Manchus had been driven out of China.

"The emperor has died!"

This news spread throughout the capital, through restaurants, opera gardens, guild halls and other lively places where people gathered, but in just half a day, it spread throughout the inner and outer cities of Beijing.

From the moment the city gate was closed, people had already guessed that something big must have happened in the capital, but no one could say that it would be a good meeting, at most it was a well-informed sentence - the news that the emperor was sick. But since the emperor is sick, why did he go to Xiling with the honor guard?

Although I am puzzled, before the imperial court issued an edict, people could only hide aside and watch quietly, at most, they would find a close friend to compare and compare like this.

"How old is the emperor, only forty, how can he be so young, say that he died, he died?"

"Alas, people have good and bad luck, who can say for sure? For example, if you go to bed tonight and fall asleep, you may not be able to open your eyes if you don't keep it in order. ”

"What the hell! I heard that it was because there were traitors in the palace, and as soon as the emperor entered the palace, he let the traitors poison him! Have you forgotten that the palace maids in the palace are all show girls? Those people may want to avenge their masters! ”

"You are a traitor or something when you speak, but I heard about it, that's because the emperor doesn't have that fate, and he is not a true dragon emperor, so he naturally can't stand that luck!"

"What kind of luck is the hell, the emperor of the Zhu family doesn't have it, and the Aixin Jueluo family doesn't, so he left like this! Don't be weird, right? ”

"Shhhh What the hell are you talking about? This is what you should say, be honest, suddenly not suddenly, it's your business! ”

Maybe it's because they have stayed under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a long time, so the people are also used to "don't talk about state affairs", and they are also used to "disaster comes from the mouth", although they have now returned to the Ming Dynasty, but in the past twenty years, they have long been afraid of being killed, and they are also used to being cautious.

Although no one dares to talk nonsense, while there are rumors of "luck" and "traitors poisoning", there is also a rumor circulating there - the emperor was poisoned by the powerful ministers of the court, and the powerful ministers wanted to be the emperor.

Who is the minister?

No one said it explicitly, but everyone knew who that powerful minister was. However, no one dared to say a word, after all, they all knew whose hand the knife handle was. If you make a mistake, you'll lose your head.

No matter how careful the ordinary people were, they would always be careful to discuss in private, and when they were discussing, everyone was there quietly observing the changes in the capital.

First of all, the gate of the city that had been closed was also opened, and there was another obvious thing, that is, there were no little eunuchs who usually came out to hang out on this street, and all the cloth villages also received orders from the government to sell all the white cloth to the government. These abnormal things caused the people of the capital to be suspicious. Although a lot of people died when the plague was in Beijing back then, and later Li Chuang killed some and Qing Yu killed some, but after all, there were still a lot of old Beijing in the city, and they had seen the pomp and circumstance of the funeral of the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow and even the Emperor Yongli, and they also knew what the capital would look like when the emperor died, and the officials would cry bitterly in front of the palace gate.

But this time, they didn't see this scene, not only did they see it, everything seemed a little secret, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw the royal family doing things so sneakily now, but they just kept silent, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

Not to mention that ordinary people dare not talk nonsense, even civil and military officials dare not talk nonsense, because everyone knows that at this time, you must not say the wrong thing, if you say the wrong thing, you will lose your head!

But in spite of this, there are speculators all over the world, and among the Beijing Division, such speculators are countless, for Li Huaxi, the former Manchu Qing Dynasty Criminal Department Shangshu, he has been observing, although he has heard the words of Emperor Yongli in front of the mausoleum "passing on the throne", but he is waiting cautiously, he has been retained by a certain official position, has always hoped to return to the center, naturally will not let go of the current opportunity, but he is extremely careful, after all, he is not clear about the attitude of the King of Chu.

Finally, after a few days of observation, Li Huaxi finally basically figured out the thoughts of the king of Chu, throughout the ages, but anyone who wants to call the lonely widow is unwilling to bear the notoriety of plotting to usurp the throne, someone must persuade him to be promoted. And those who persuade can naturally get the first credit.

It's just that not everyone can bear this credit, and not everyone dares to take it.

"King of Chu...... It must be waiting for us to persuade the book! ”

In the evening of that day, when Li Huaxi asked Wang Chongjian and other friends to get together at home, he seemed to say this sentence unintentionally and intentionally, and everyone was stunned when they heard him say this, they were also thinking about their bosses, and they also vaguely guessed the thoughts of King Chu, but they didn't know if the time was ripe.

"Could it be that the brother has received some rumors?"

Wang Chongjian looked at Li Huaxi in surprise, and his tone was also cautious, lest he say the wrong thing.

"The Wind ......"

With a smile, Li Huaxi glanced at everyone, and then said.

"Do you have to wait until the world knows about it, and then you can persuade you?"
