Wei Zhongxian saw that the hundred officials were silent, and their attention was focused on him, and his vanity was greatly addicted, so he looked back and signaled Wang Tiqian.

Wang Tiqian put his hands on his waist, ran out of the Qianqing Palace quickly, and stood in front of the hundred officials.

In front of the hundred officials, he grew up, stood facing south, and stood as tall as a pine and cypress.

He was the personal attendant of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so Wei Zhongxian ordered him to announce the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Wang Tiqian's gaze swept over the hundred officials, attracting all the attention of the hundred officials to himself, "Listen to the hundred officials, the emperor has died." ”

Outside the Qianqing Palace, hundreds of officials already knew about the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but Wang Tiqian announced the message in public, which still caused a thousand waves.

"Did the emperor really die?"

"Why didn't there be any warning?"

"Why did Wei Gelding block the message that the emperor was seriously ill?"

"The emperor has no heirs, who will inherit the unification?"

……

Wang Tiqian waited patiently for a while, and the discussion of the hundred officials did not weaken at all.

"Ahem...... Cough! He coughed exaggeratedly twice, overpowering the voice of the hundred officials, and the voice of the hundred officials gradually weakened.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at Wang Tiqian, and even the breeze blowing his two scattered strands of hair fell into the eyes of hundreds of officials.

Wang Tiqian took out a piece of royal yellow silk from his sleeve, and the yellow silk was rolled into a cylinder. He raised his head upwards: "The queen is willing, and the hundred officials kneel to receive it." ”

"Hula!" A large number of officials knelt on the ground, and some officials hesitated to look around, and found that the vast majority of officials had already knelt down, so they slowly knelt on the ground, their eyes still secretly scanning others.

All the officials have already prostrate on the ground, Wei Zhongxian is an internal servant, and there is no need to kneel and worship, but he is also the governor of Dongchang and a serious court official, so he also knelt alone in front of the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Tiqian unfolded the yellow silk and read aloud:

"I bow down and look up to our ancestors for seven years. Emperor Shen Wei took the training of Fa Yao Shun, worked diligently, and did not dare to neglect those who were not negligent. The three halls were completed, the light was restored, the atmosphere was repeatedly frustrated, the border was gradually settled, and the party was determined to rule peace, and the people rested, which is not an endowment. Weakness has been since the Qinggong, and since the advent of the palace, there are many police, day and night, good use of worry, more thinking about the spleen, and then causing lingering.

Now it is a retouch, longing for blood, a few steep hair, dying, unable to get up, there is a negative test of the life of Gu Tuo, I am exhausted.

If the husband dies and tastes reason, people will not be able to avoid it, but in the succession, the people of the clan and society will depend on it, and all of them will be obedient, so I have no regrets.

The fifth brother of the emperor believes in the king, is smart and dreamy, benevolent and filial piety, and serves the ancestor to train the brother and the younger brother's text, Pi Shaolun preface, that is, the emperor's throne. Cultivating morality, pro-virtuous and admitted, lecturing and diligent, showing compassion for the people's livelihood, strictly repairing the border, not being too damaged, and assisting the civil and military ministers inside and outside. Abide by the rules and regulations, and protect the emperor's map.

The funeral is still in place, with the day changing the month, and the 27th is released, and folk music is not forbidden to marry. The clan prince and the king are very important, and they must not leave the domain. The governors of all places, the three officials of the town patrol, are not allowed to go to their duties without permission, and each of them stops crying day and night in the department for three days, and the officials of the incense are acting on their behalf. The local officials of the prefecture and county of the Weisho Prefecture are exempt from incense.

Yu play! Brother Da Lun, the master of the fortunate community; The monarch and the minister are righteous, and the period is supplemented by loyalty. The body is still in the arms, and the last life is inherited. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. ”

This empress decree was drafted in the name of Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao had already died.

In particular, Zhu Youzhen's repeated advocacy of levying industrial and commercial taxes will surely shake the foundation of the Donglin Party once it is implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Members of the eunuch party even disagreed with Zhu Youzhen, and Wei Zhongxian once said that they must oppose anything that Zhu Youzhen supports.

The Donglin Party shook their heads and secretly exchanged tacit glances from under their armpits.

The members of the eunuch party set their eyes on Wei Zhongxian, but Wei Zhongxian did not say anything, they could only see the exhaustion on Wei Zhongxian's face and the helplessness in his eyes.

The members of the eunuch party soon understood that Wei Zhongxian had already expressed that he had sent a funeral to Zhu Youxiao, from the fact that he had opened the main gate of the Qianqing Palace, and from the fact that he had allowed this edict to be read out in public.

"The Queen's Mother." Wang Tiqian's sharp voice broke through the air again, "This decree will be temporarily kept by Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and will be handed over to the new emperor by hand when the new emperor is established." ”

Huang Liji took two steps on his knees, came to Wang Tiqian, and took the decree with both hands: "Minister Huang Liji respectfully receives the decree, the queen is a thousand years old." ”

"Queen Chitose Chitose." The officials bowed again.

Zhang Yan, who was hidden behind the side wall, was so excited that her eyes rippled with tears. She held on to the wall with her delicate little hands, desperately trying to stabilize her figure.

From the perspective of intimacy, Zhu Youzhen is the best candidate to inherit the reunification.

Now with the queen's will, the name is corrected and the words are more smooth, which is completely in line with the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, has already received the order to thank him, and he will definitely become the first person to support Zhu Youzhen.

Wei Zhongxian, who once hated Zhu Youzhen with biting of his teeth, nosebleeds, heart failure, spleen splitting, and intestine rottenness, has acquiesced to Zhu Youzhen's succession.

No one doubted that Zhu Youzhen would succeed to the throne.

No one objected to Zhu Youzhen's succession.

"Colleagues, the emperor has passed away, but the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Now that His Royal Highness Nobu does not know the Queen's decree, we should welcome His Royal Highness Nobu in charge as soon as possible. When the officials were in chaos, Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

……

Shi Feng glanced at Wei Zhongxian and found that Wei Zhongxian's soul seemed to have been taken away by Zhu Youxiao. He hesitated for a moment, but finally shouted: "I'll go too!" ”

Welcome the new monarch and enjoy the merit of support, who is willing to lag behind?

Huang Liji is the first assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the person designated by Empress Zhang Yan to keep Yizhi, of course, he is the first choice to welcome Zhu Youzhen, but who else will greet Zhu Youzhen, everyone is arguing.

Zhang Yan flashed to the door and beckoned to Wang Tiqian, who had been ignored by hundreds of officials.

Soon, Wang Tiqian walked back to the palace gate, and the quarrelsome officials, one word in the east and one word in the west, slowly approached Huang Liji. He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and whispered a few words to Huang Liji.

Huang Liji came to the side of the British public Zhang Wei, and the two muttered quietly.

"Colleagues," Huang Liji's voice raised an octave, "if this argument continues, it will never end, and seeing that noon is approaching, you must not miss the auspicious time." British public Zhang Wei, highly respected, I mention yì, and he will preside over the ceremony. The cabinet elected another person, and each of the six ministries elected one person to jointly welcome His Royal Highness King Shin. ”

"Ahem, ahem." British Gong Zhang Weili took over the conversation, he clenched his fists with both hands, and waved on all sides: "You are all important ministers in the court, and you know the etiquette system of the court. Supporting the new emperor is not a moment. I am sure that the new emperor will be grateful for your support. But in order to support it, it made the new emperor wait for a long time, and it was really unwise to miss the auspicious time, you think about it. ”

The 100 officials quickly returned to the team and consulted urgently.

In the end, with the British public Zhang Wei, the first assistant of the cabinet Huang Liji, the second assistant of the cabinet Shi Fenglai, plus a squire from each of the six departments, a total of nine people, formed a Yingli group, and immediately set off to the palace of King Xin.

Xinwangfu, located in Dongcheng District, immediately became lively, and the middle gate of Xinwangfu, which had been silent for a year, ushered in VIPs for the first time. Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and Zhou Yufeng, the princess, knelt outside the middle gate to receive the order.

Huang Liji shook out Zhang Yan's decree and read it out facing south.

Hey? This is the emperor? Zhu Youzhen pinched his thigh hard, and it hurt a lot, so he believed it was true.

"Your Highness, thank you!" Huang Liji saw Zhu Youzhen's small movements, and urged Zhu Youzhen with a smile.

Zhu Youzhen then remembered to accept the order, he had long known that he would become an emperor, and he really became an emperor, but he was still so excited. He grinned at Huang Liji as if deprecatingly.

Huang Liji and Zhang Wei exchanged glances, and both knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"Minister Zhang Wei!"

"Chen Huang Liji!"

"Knock on the new emperor, long live the new emperor!"

Shi Fenglai was stunned, he felt that he was put together by Huang Liji and Zhang Wei. The three of them are the leaders of the Yingli group, but Huang Liji and Zhang Wei left him alone and bowed to the new emperor alone, snatching the merit of Yingli.

But Shi Fenglai didn't have time to settle accounts with them, and there was an opportunity after the battle of words, and what the new emperor needed most now was the support of the ministers, bowing and expressing his position.

"Chen Shi Feng came to see the new emperor, long live the new emperor, long live long live!"

When the six waiters of the six departments saw it, they hurriedly bowed to the ground with Shi Fenglai.

Just now, Zhu Youzhen wanted to bow to Huang Liji and others because he received the order, but now that he is down, Huang Liji and they want to bow to Zhu Youzhen to show their loyalty.

"Flatten! You are all important ministers of the court, and you are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Youzhen grabbed Zhang Wei's arm, and the others also stood up, lest Zhu Youzhen come to help him again.

"Your Majesty the new emperor, the ministers are waiting in the Imperial Palace to worship the new emperor, when can we leave?" Huang Liji saw that it was not too early, so he had to urge Zhu Youzhen.

"Lord Huang, do I want to keep filial piety for the first emperor?"

"The new emperor, the first emperor has no heirs, according to the Ming ancestral system, the new emperor should keep filial piety for the first emperor for seven days." Huang Liji has served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for many years and is very familiar with the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

"Then I will stay for at least seven days when I enter the Qianqing Palace this time?" Zhu Youzhen had just returned to the Xinwang Mansion, and some preparations had not yet been completed.

"The new emperor's majesty, not seven days, in the future, the new emperor's majesty will live in the Qianqing Palace." Huang Li is extremely surprised, the emperor does not live in the Qianqing Palace, does he still have to live in the Xinwang Mansion?

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Huang Liji, Huang Liji understood, he glanced at Yan Mingtai.

Yan Mingtai saluted Zhu Youzhen: "The new emperor is already the heir emperor, you can transfer a qiē palace guard, the emperor's personal army, or transfer an army that can be trusted from other places." The Imperial Palace generally cannot use swords, but the first emperor's "Nine Yu" ceremony is held in several banquet halls, and the new emperor can rest assured. ”

It turns out that Zhu Youzhen's security worries are no longer there, and he can mobilize Wang Mujiu's special combat team, and even the four martial arts battalions to come to the palace to act as royal guards.

Zhu Youzhen brought more than 100 people from the first squad of Wang Mujiu and Li Jun's special combat team, and the remaining two squads of the special combat team will rush to the hall in the afternoon to meet Zhu Youzhen directly.

With these 300-strong guards, coupled with his own magical skills, Zhu Youzhen believed that no one would dare to confront his own armed forces lightly.
