In the city of Babu, Duan Lang's guard of honor left the city at sunrise in the early morning. This time, the guard of honor did not put on an imperial formation, but moved forward at full speed and rushed to Xianglu City.

Tantai Mingyue's face was sad and a little anxious, she didn't expect her father to suddenly die at such a moment. For the children of the emperor's family, although the family affection is weak, after all, they are biological parents, and Tangtai Mingyue has no intention of seizing the heir, and she only has real grief for the sudden death of Tangtai Hongshi.

Duan Lang was in the car, gently holding the slightly cool little hand of Mingyue in the car, "Yue'er, don't be sad, I believe that Your Majesty Hongshi will also feel relieved to see his daughter become the emperor of my Great Calendar." Anyway, you are back, and I believe that His Majesty Hongshi will also be relieved of what happened back then. ”

Tantai Mingyue sighed and leaned lightly on Duan Lang's body, "I didn't expect that last time I fled from my home, I would be separated from my father's yin and yang. Mingyue asked herself if she was sorry for Beiming, as a daughter, I did everything I should do very well. The father is above the blue sky, and he must not complain about his daughter's unfilial piety. Now I'm worried about my big brother Morri. ”

"There's nothing to worry about, I've seen it all the way, Brother Mo Li is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the various tribes of the Northern Ming Dynasty, plus the prestige in the army, no one can stop him from ascending to the throne. As for the tassel prince, he is just a second ancestor who will enjoy it. As long as the senior members of the DPRK and China are not blind, no one will support him to ascend to the throne. ”

"I'm not worried about the clans, I'm worried about the royal clansmen. The eldest brother is a concubine, and the mother is expensive by the son, but he was suppressed by the royal family. Among the clan relatives, I am afraid that many people do not want the eldest brother to be in charge of the Beiming Dynasty. ”

Duan Lang snorted disdainfully, "In the Emperor's Family, in order to win the succession, fathers and sons and brothers can still meet each other, what is the affection of the clan." It's like Great Xia, the support of the clan relatives is really not as effective as a city defense general. ”

"Lang, the state system of my Northern Ming Dynasty is different from that of Great Xia, and the courtiers of Great Xia hold great power. However, the real power of Beiming is in the hands of the leaders of various tribes. The reason why the royal family can control the world is precisely because the royal family itself is the largest tribe in the Northern Ming Dynasty. This huge clan is the entire royal family that has been condensed by the continuous expansion of the various clans and branches. Therefore, the lord of the Northern Ming Dynasty will not worry about which general in charge of the military will dare to rebel. Because his soldiers are all composed of members of various tribes, as long as the head of the tribe speaks, a strong army can be divided in an instant. If the father is still alive and the eldest brother has the support of the tribes, the father will inevitably give him the throne. But now, the situation is a little more complicated. ”

"Not to mention, the Northern Ming Emperor's skill of controlling the world is indeed different from other national systems. It can be said that the longer the dynasty lasts, the deeper the foundation of the emperor will be, and in the end it will develop into an unshakable huge clan. It seems that except for the invasion of foreign enemies, there will never be a reckless man like me in Beiming. ”

Tantai Mingyue lamented, "Everything has its pros and cons, and the Beiming system seems to be firm and unshakable, but it also restricts the development and prosperity of Beiming." The royal family will not let any tribe with a foreign surname develop to a level that can threaten the imperial family's strength, so once some tribes develop rapidly, they will be suppressed by the imperial clan. And there are also contradictions between various ethnic groups, all of them want to strengthen themselves and suppress others, and even some tribes are not allowed to intermarry. As a result, the population of Beiming could not flourish, which led to Beiming becoming the weakest country among the five kingdoms in the world. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "With such a national system, it can be said that some government decrees cannot be implemented. For example, if the head of the tribe violates the king's law, will he not be held accountable? ”

Tantai Mingyue said helplessly, "In addition to touching the interests of the royal family, I will only get some reprimands." The people at the bottom of the Northern Ming Dynasty lived much more bitterly than the people of Daxia, and they were used to being oppressed by the powerful. I could tell that my eldest brother wanted to change that. It's just that even if he sits on the throne, it will be difficult to change. ”

"That's not necessarily, as long as the emperor can rule the country with an iron fist, anything can change."

Yutai Mingyue sighed slightly, "I hope that the eldest brother can take the throne smoothly, as for how to govern Beiming, it depends on his creation." Lang, if I really get into trouble this time, I hope you can support me. ”

Duan Lang stroked the hair of Yutai Mingyue, "Silly girl, don't forget that you are the military division of my Dali Country." As long as you speak, the entire Great Calendar Kingdom will stand behind you. ”

Tai Mingyue's heart was hot, with Duan Lang's words, even if he turned against his father back then, it was worth it. As a woman, whether it is the emperor's family or the common people, marrying a good man is worth cherishing with her life.

Duan Lang's 3,000 forbidden army was marching rapidly, and at this time, great changes had also taken place in Beimingxiang Lucheng. The relatives in the affinity hall stayed up all night without sleeping, and they were listless and even complained about the old prince.

In addition to the Affinity Palace, Rong Gu even transferred a large number of guards, forming a kind of sword pressure on the Affinity Palace. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the clansmen in the Affinity Hall learned that the prince Tassel had already sent people to besiege the Affinity Palace. At this time, some clan relatives couldn't help but be angry, but more chose to support the tassel.

The Northern Xinjiang Marquis Lantai Luolie looked at everyone and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that according to the ancestral system, if the king is unable to implement the decree in times of crisis, the crown prince has the right to temporarily take over the imperial power and maintain the stability of the world. ”

Another clan member stood up and retorted, "The Affinity Hall is the place where the clan relatives deliberate, and he does this, he simply doesn't take us clan relatives seriously. Besides, if I am in peace in the north, there will be no crisis. ”

Northern Xinjiang Hou Yutai Luolie snorted coldly, "His Majesty Hongshi has died, isn't this a time of crisis?" ”

The old prince slapped the table angrily, "What do you want to do." Since ancient times, the death of the Son of Heaven has been mourned by the whole country, and the civil and military royal families of the Manchu Dynasty should unite and unite to successfully pass the period of grief. How is it that in your eyes, it has become a time of crisis? Could it be that if the emperor dies, my Beiming will be torn apart? ”

Yutai Luolie was stunned, he didn't expect that King Cang would be so angry. Don't look at the violent temperament of the Lantai list, but he really doesn't dare to talk back to the old prince. Among the royal clansmen, firstly, the old prince has the highest seniority, and secondly, he is in charge of the sect's order. In case of angering the old prince, the sect ordered that he could be deprived of his position as an elder, or even driven out of the Affinity Palace. If that is the case, the people of the Lantai Luolie tribe who have lost their qualifications as elders will definitely be suppressed by the joint efforts of other clansmen.

Prince Shu Yutai Hongguang frowned, stood up and said with a smile, "Uncle, Luo Lie is also anxious, don't be angry with him." However, the tassel besieged the Affinity Palace, and this king felt that it was better to announce the matter earlier. In any case, Tassel is the crown prince, even if it is not for the battle for the throne, there is always a father-son relationship. When he did this, it cannot be said that he touched the ancestral system, but it can only be said that there is something out of line under the family affection. We've been arguing all night, uncle, do you think it's ~ time to make a decision? ”

As soon as Prince Shu spoke, the old prince knew that he could no longer dodge. Prince Shu is not a character like the Marquis of Northern Xinjiang, he is the younger brother of Taitai Hongshi, and he is a prince with Taicang. Don't look at the Zongren Order, but the Taicang doesn't dare to scare Prince Shu with the Zongren Order.

The hour was about to pass, and the old prince's body and bones could not stand it anymore, so he could only say helplessly.

"Since all the clan relatives have been arguing for a night, let's ~ send the funeral news first."

Prince Shu was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, as soon as the national death bell rings, it indicates that there is no day in the country, and the responsibility of supporting the soul is the rising sun, and the sunset and sunrise are uninterrupted, which is the great fortune of the Northern Ming Dynasty." Otherwise, Gao Yang will not continue, this is a catastrophe. ”

He glanced at Prince Shu with slightly cloudy eyes, and said coldly, "Virtuous nephew, did the uncle say that he would not choose someone who would help the spirit?" You can rest assured, when the news of the funeral is issued, the person who helps the soul will definitely be chosen. It's just that everyone is tired, and my uncle's body is not like yours, so I'll take a break. Now that the hour is coming to an end, everyone will rest for an hour. An hour later, all the clansmen and courtiers gathered in the council hall to discuss the choice of supporting the spirits. ”

Yutai Hongguang looked at the old prince who was a little angry, so he had to nod. It's just a delay for an hour, and it doesn't change anything at all. Besides, everyone is indeed a little tired, and it is not an excuse to delay.

Outside the Affinity Palace, when the Tassel learned that the death knell was about to be sounded to announce the funeral, he immediately pretended to be grief-stricken, crying and kneeling to apologize to the clansmen. Rong Gu hurriedly withdrew the guards and let the clan relatives walk out of the Affinity Hall.

In a short time, a shocking and mournful bell rang in the palace. One by one, the messengers quickly rushed out of the palace and rushed to the various palaces in the city.

The old prince did not return to the palace to rest, and Mo Lianhai placed the old prince in a quiet place in the palace to rest temporarily. When Hozath saw the news of the funeral, he also anxiously followed him to the place where the old prince was staying.

Looking at the two old ministers that Yutai Hongshi trusted very much, Tantai Cang said, "There are some things that the king can't do anything, so he can only do this." At the end of the day, the king will gather hundreds of officials and clansmen to gather in the council hall to discuss the choice of supporting the soul. Huo Ge Lao, when do you think Mo Li will be able to arrive? ”

Hoza thought for a moment, "If it's fast, I should be able to get back by noon." If it is slow, it will not exceed the time. ”

Tan Taicang frowned, "If it really arrives at the end of the day, it will be troublesome, and the court hall will definitely not be able to delay." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mo Lianhai, "Lianhai, you immediately go to Xiangguo Borshutu Mansion for a walk." Inform Borshutu that he must unite with some important ministers in the court and delay the time in the court. Tell Borshutu that this is what the king meant. ”

"No, I'll go now." Mo Lianhai replied.

Tang Taicang's gaze looked at Huo Zasi again, "Huo Ge Lao, if the ministers can't stop it, it seems that only you will come forward." The old man enjoys a transcendent status in the palace, although he has never participated in the matter of seizing the heir, but the king also sees that Huo Ge Lao is inclined to Moli. This last delay can only be stopped by you. I believe that those clan relatives will also give the elder a face. ”

Huo Zasi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that in this way, we won't have a good time in the future." The clan relatives will definitely propose afterwards to deprive the old people of some of their privileges. It is even said that once His Royal Highness Tassel ascends to the throne, he will directly drive us old guys out of the palace. ”

"This king has done everything he can, since Hongshi is inclined to Morley, he can't let him go with regrets."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Tan Taicang nodded, "You guys go and get busy, this king is old, and this body is indeed a little unbearable." ”

"Lord Wang, please rest and retire below."

Huo Zasi and Mo Lianhai walked out of the place where the old prince was staying, the two glanced at each other, and Mo Lianhai said softly.

"Huo Ge Lao, there are some words, I don't know if ~ should I say it or not?"

"Don't worry about it, please speak."

"I remember~ His Majesty did not explicitly indicate that he would pass on the throne to His Highness Morley. Let's do this, isn't it ~ suspected of overstepping? After all, it's a royal matter, aren't we~ a little too much? ”

Huo Zasi was stunned for a moment, looked at Mo Lianhai, and said cautiously, "Don't care, do you know that His Majesty's death is not a normal reason." After an investigation by the nursing home, it was determined that someone had done it. Think about it, when the eldest prince is not in the national capital at this time, who will be most beneficial to the death of His Majesty? I offer the old people's home to thank God, and I will definitely dig out the root of this matter, and give His Majesty a blind eye. But if it was His Highness Tassel, once he ascended the throne, the matter could not be pursued at all. You and I have been deeply blessed by God, and we must not let Your Majesty turn a blind eye. ”

Mo Lianhai looked at Huo Zasi in shock, "Is this really the case?" ”

"Absolutely."

Mo Lianhai's fingers trembled slightly, "What a thief, so vicious." In this case, you and I can confront the ministers in the court about the edict. ”

Hozasi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly arched his hand in surprise, "Then thank you for taking care of things." ”

"I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, Huo Ge Lao, you can also arrange it as soon as possible."

"Good! Let's go our separate ways. ”

The two of them hugged their fists and said goodbye, and they began to get busy.

The news of Hongshi's death quickly spread throughout Xianglu City. In the palace and the major government offices, white silk was hung up one after another, showing a solemn and solemn atmosphere. These clan forces, how could they have the heart to rest, and they began to operate one after another, and began to discuss the matter of supporting the soul with their respective courtiers. The prince's tassel pretended to be sad and knelt down in front of the emperor's bedroom.

Although Tassel was distraught, he had to do it. However, the tassel was kneeling, and he was also instructing the housekeeper, nervously arranging everything.

At three o'clock in the morning, the ministers of the council hall gathered, and the royal family also arrived. The choice of Fuling is the candidate for the new emperor, and the courtiers are also nervously waiting. However, everyone knows that he has not returned, and once it is established, he will be completely disqualified.

Many people began to feel sorry for His Royal Highness Mo Li, and now Mo Li has a very high prestige in the Northern Ming Dynasty, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, everyone hopes that there will be a Ming Lord to lead them. As for the prince Tantai tassel, his prestige has been discredited in the battle of Moro. It's just that no one in the royal family can compete with the tassel except for His Royal Highness. Now that His Royal Highness Morry is gone, everyone can only sigh that fate is too late.

The courtiers waited for a long time, and when it was close to noon, they saw the old prince come to the court hall tremblingly with the support of his entourage.

The tassels of the platform are wrapped around the waist and white, and he is dressed in plain clothes. Seeing the arrival of the old prince, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"The tassel visited Cangzu, the world was very sad, the father and the emperor unfortunately left his son, and everything still hoped that Cangzu would be the master of the tassel."

The tassel seemed to have forgotten the scene of confronting the old prince outside the Affinity Palace, and showed a heartbroken look. Yutaicang just nodded silently, and without saying a word, walked towards a seat under the throne.

Prince Shu Tai Hongguang was a little displeased, and according to the agreed hour, Tai Taicang was full late for two incense sticks. If he hadn't sent someone to urge, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come now. It's noon, and I don't know how long this old guy is going to delay.

Prince Shu stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Fellow courtiers, the great mourning of the country is the same sorrow, Your Majesty has unfortunately left us, and the courtiers~ are sad in my heart." ”

Prince Shu said, pretending to be sad and wiping his eyes dryly. Xiangguo Bor's technique map quietly glanced back. Just as Prince Shu was about to continue speaking, more than a dozen ministers suddenly cried out in grief and indignation. There are several generals, and even crying hammer chests and upsets. Prince Shu knew that everyone was sad with him, and it was not easy to stop it immediately.

Prince Shu originally thought that everyone would cry a few times and it would be over, but he didn't expect that these people couldn't control it, as soon as they took the lead, the other courtiers didn't cry twice, as if they were sorry for their own money. For a while, there was a wailing sound above the hall, and it couldn't stop at all.

The old prince's cloudy eyes inadvertently glanced at the Bol technique, and said in his heart that there is really you, and even this trick can be used. In order to delay time, it seems that all kinds of tricks have been used.

The tassel was very anxious in his heart, and said in his heart, you damn it, Lao Tzu hasn't cried yet, you cry a fart. The sooner he completed the choice of Fuling, the sooner he was relieved. The more he hung like this, the more anxious Tassel's heart became.

"Ladies and gentlemen~ Okay, I believe Your Majesty already knows your mind. Alright, let's stop. "Prince Shu had to stand up and let everyone be quiet.

However, his words were suppressed by crying, and not many people obeyed. Yutai Luolie couldn't help but shout anxiously, "Silence! ”

His shout suddenly made the entire hall slowly quiet. Prince Shu said in his heart that it still works with a loud voice, and he knew that Lao Tzu would not pretend to wail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Your Majesty is gone, I can't be left without a master for a day. In addition to grief, we must also choose the Lord who supports the soul. ”

Prince Shu said, turned to look at the old prince, "Uncle, please show the sect order so that you can choose the master of the soul." ”

The old prince nodded slightly, and reluctantly took out the sect order. A palace official hurriedly walked up, took it cautiously, and held it high above his head.

The lord of the country died, and as soon as the order of the clan appeared, hundreds of civil and military officials and royal relatives above the court knelt down and saluted. After the ceremony, everyone got up, and the hall became quiet again.

It is said that the old prince spoke at this time, but Prince Shu preemptively said, "Your Majesty left suddenly, and he did not make an edict. According to the ancestral order, His Majesty's two princes have the rights and responsibilities of the Lord of the Soul. But Prince Molli is not in the national capital, and the ranking is still after the prince of tassels. According to the rules of the ancestral system, the emperor died, and those who were not around had no choice. Therefore, the current choice of Fuling can only be His Highness Tassel. ”

Xiangguo Borshu glanced at the old prince, gritted his teeth and stood up, "Your Royal Highness, this official is the Xiangguo of the Northern Ming Dynasty, your words, this Xiangguo is a little disagreeable." Although His Royal Highness Morry is not in the national capital, everyone has seen what His Highness has done in the past few years. Moreover, His Majesty has said to the old ministers many times that His Royal Highness Limoli is the prince. So~! ”

Without waiting for Bor's Shutu to finish, Tantai Luolie said angrily, "Bold, since Your Majesty has not made an edict, you have to follow the ancestral system." Do you want to fight against the royal ancestral system? Shantai Moli is not in the national capital, and according to the ancestral system, he is not qualified for this. Do you want your Majesty's coffin to be next to a person who doesn't even have a soul? ”

"This~!"

Borshutu was a little at a loss, and was about to find a way to argue, when he heard a palace official outside the hall shouting.

"The Great Prince~His Royal Highness the Moonlight Moli has arrived~!"

The old prince's sleepy eyes suddenly fought, and the tassels looked out of the hall in surprise. In the crowd, Rong Gu was even more surprised when he heard that Tantai Mori had arrived.

Just when everyone was shocked, Rong Gu quickly withdrew from the main hall. In this case, he knew that it had to be resolved by force. At this time, the court hall is under his control, no matter what happens, today's choice of supporting the soul cannot fall into the hands of Shantai Moli. ()
