The East Emperor is a drum, thousands of miles away.

Emperor Hongzhi still didn't have so much perseverance in the end, and today, Li Yan got the news that Emperor Hongzhi was on the verge of death.

In the Taihe Palace, there was a rare silence among the ministers, and no one made a sound, all of them quietly looked at the empty dragon chair.

Emperor Hongzhi has not come to the early court for several days.

……

…………

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao, the little faint gentleman, was also lifeless, sitting quietly on an embroidered pier, holding the decoction for Emperor Hongzhi in his hand, and marveled at Zhu Houzhao's hand constantly rising and falling, but Emperor Hongzhi never opened his mouth.

"Where's the Imperial Doctor! Doctor! What did your father do when he raised you? Come and save my father! Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't help it, dropped the teacup, and threw it straight on the head of a imperial doctor.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry!"

"Your Highness spares your life!"

The imperial doctors were busy kowtowing to Zhu Houzhao one by one.

"Spare you? My father is unconscious, how can His Highness spare you! The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the more angry he became, and finally directly picked up the embroidery pier under him, and smashed it on the brainless doctor Zai.

"Save my father! Save my father, the emperor......" smashed and smashed, Zhu Houzhao sat on the ground and cried.

After all, he is just a child, how can he bear the pain of losing his father?

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's behavior, everyone did not stop it, because they knew that even if they blocked it at this moment, they couldn't stop it, and since they couldn't stop it, it was better not to stop it.

At night, Zhu Houzhao came to Li Yan's house alone again.

……

…………

Even brought back and forth, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Palace Hospital don't know how many batches they have changed, but there is still no one who can treat the Emperor Hongzhi well, and gradually, the ministers also saw that this emperor is really not good.

On the third day, Emperor Hongji began to talk nonsense, and on the fourth day, Emperor Hongji began to vomit blood.

Hearing the news, Li Yan sighed, Emperor Hongzhi has already begun to work hard......

Finally, on the fifth day, a decree came from the palace, announcing that Li Dongyang and several other pavilion elders would meet him.

In the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly came to his senses today, woke up, not only asked everyone for food, but also met the ministers in person, and called Xiao Jing.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, Your Majesty is blessed with longevity." The old ministers of the cabinet said in unison.

"Zhong Aiqing...... Excuse me. Emperor Hongzhi gasped as he spoke.

"Since I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, I am now thirty-six years old, a total of eighteen years, and I have supported each other with the ministers in this period, so that the world will be governed. But the number of days is limited, it is difficult to get up, and the life limit has arrived, so it is time to say goodbye to the gentlemen.........

”

After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi coughed a few times, and his face, which had recovered a little ruddy, became sallow as gold paper, but all this Hongzhi didn't seem to feel the truth, and continued to say strongly.

"I am mediocre, gentlemen, etc., and hundreds of officials, I have given many edicts before, pointing out that since my reign, I have been too generous to foreign relatives, too widely given, too powerful eunuchs, and too many redundant civil and military officials, I know that what I say is very reasonable, but in essence, I have no strength to deal with it today, and I can only be realized by your gentlemen for me."

"Since I ascended the throne, I think there is nothing against the world, but after all, the number of qi is limited, and I can't see the Ming Dynasty soaring between heaven and earth...... I'm ...... Peace of mind. ”

After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale, and the blood that had just appeared between his lips gradually disappeared.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The elders wept bitterly.

Emperor Hongji may not be a good husband, but he is definitely a good emperor, and the ministers who worked with Emperor Hongzhi always asked the opinions of the ministers first, and then put forward their own ideas.

It is rare for such an emperor to be such a person.

Now Hongzhi Tuogu, the ministers, especially Li Dongyang and other cabinet elders, are naturally deploring, their feelings are not fake, and their feelings for Emperor Hongzhi are sincere.

Hearing the elders crying bitterly, Zhu Houzhao and Empress Zhang broke in as soon as they pushed the door open, and when they came in, they saw a scene in the house, and immediately stayed there, and their eyes were like Emperor Hongzhi on the dragon bed, and they suddenly lost their lives.

"Father!"

Zhu Houzhao's grief-stricken voice came.

Behind Zhu Houzhao, Empress Zhang stumbled when she heard the sound, and almost sat on the ground unsteadily, and tears instantly filled her entire eyes.

"Husband!" Empress Zhang cried bitterly.

"Niangniang, Your Highness, Your Majesty, please mourn."

Li Dongyang wiped the corners of his eyes, but no matter what, the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

"You lied to me! You guys...... You all lied to me! Impossible, isn't it, Queen Mother, they're all lying to me? Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao pushed Li Dongyang away, grabbed Empress Zhang's hands and asked.

Seeing this, Empress Zhang was heartbroken and speechless for a long time.

……

…………

The next day, the whole city of the capital was announced, and Emperor Hongzhi was in great trouble, and the whole world mourned.

In the Taihe Palace, Zhu Houzhao took over the throne, and named the Hongzhi Emperor Temple Xiaozong, and the name Datianming Dao Pure Sincerity Zhongzheng Shengwen Shenwu Zhiren Dade Jing Emperor, at the same time, this year was officially changed to the first year of Zhengde.

At the same time, after the Hongzhi Emperor wore a grand and luxurious funeral costume, a ceremony was officially held for the Hongzhi Emperor.

The Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the name, and after the funeral, the new emperor ordered the ministers to draw up the name and the temple number. After the death of the emperor, he enshrined a special name in the Taimiao room, called "Temple Number". According to the deeds of the deceased, the ministers put together a large number of beautiful words, including the emblem title 20 and the former name 20

The word is the emblem, and the last three words are the name.

Such as the Tianming Dao Pure Sincerity Zhongzheng Shengwen Shenwu Zhiren Dade Jing Emperor, the temple name "Zhao Zong", commonly known as "Dade Jing Emperor".

After the name and temple number were drawn up, with the permission of the new emperor, the Ministry of Communications and Industry made jade books, jade treasures, incense books, incense treasures, silk books, and silk treasures, and the Qin Tianjian chose a day to hold a ceremony of honor.

The ceremony was extremely grand, and the day before it was necessary to send officials to pay homage to the heavens, the earth, the temple, and the community. On the day of the ceremony, a guard of honor was set up in front of the funeral palace, and the new emperor led the ministers to bow three times and bow nine times, and the ceremonial officer read the silk book and silk treasure at one time. After the ceremony is completed, the new emperor will announce the name to the world.

After the ceremony, Li Dongyang slowly rolled up a volume of holy decrees. "Since I ascended the throne for more than 15 years, I have been lenient with my words, but I am afraid to change my ways, and I have not dared to punish me lightly. Occupying the throne, he did not perform the imperial position. If I am not self-disciplined, who can discipline me? When a person is about to die, his words are also mourned, and it is too late to regret it. My time is short, and I am going to die, so I should draft an edict and warn the emperor with this. I didn't dare to slack off in keeping the laws of my ancestors, but I failed to carry forward the virtues of my ancestors and take the dynasty seriously, so I really failed to live up to the trust of my ancestors......"

"After my death, the construction of the mausoleum must not be extravagant, and the burial utensils must be simple. The prince is fifteen years old, and he has not chosen to marry, so he does not have to be confined to the matter of mourning or not getting married, but he can order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the big wedding this year. ”

"The prince is young, he is so frolicking and having fun, this worry is also my heart, I hope that all the gentlemen will help him, understand the reason of things, know the life of the people, and encourage the Lord together."

"In addition, I discussed with the three cabinet elders to reduce the number of court ministers in the Shangyi Bureau, the Division of Supervision, and the Ordnance Bureau, so as to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. In addition, the new emperor was ordered to reduce the weaving tax levied by the inner court. ”

After reciting a large volume of holy decrees, Li Dongyang had already burst into tears and shouted on the ground. "Your Majesty has done your best for Daming, and when you are exhausted, you still don't forget my Daming Sheji, Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the world's Sheji, why...... Don't wait! ”
