Chapter 876: The Prologue to the Great Coup (I)

"My lord, no one wants to see this situation, but it is already like this, it is too unwise to try to move Feng Bao again!" Seeing that Shen Mo still kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, Wang Yin said anxiously: "Gao Ge is afraid that it will be a tragedy, no matter who is in power in the future, he will have to work closely with the palace, now that Zhang Taiyue has come from behind, you can't move, but you will be surpassed by him!" ”

"You're asking me to work with the emperor's murderer?" Shen Mo stared at Wang Yin with a deflated look

Although the weather was still hot, let Shen Mo look at it, Wang Yin still couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and said, "Do you have evidence?" ”

"Yes." Shen muffled snort.

"That's not yet." Wang Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is, what's the use?" If you move Feng Bao, you will move around Li Guifei, the prince is already ten years old, and he said that he is not small, ......,

……”

"In order not to blame the future emperor, do you have to be sorry for the current emperor!" Shen Mo slammed his fist on the stone table, shaking the teacup to fall over, and said with great indignation: "How can people be so snobbish! ”

"How do you know, then you must be sorry for Emperor Longqing?" Wang Yin didn't give in at all, and said-for-tat: "Now that he is dying, I think what he wants to see most must be internal and external harmony, jointly assist the prince, and run the Ming Dynasty prosperously...... "Instead of finding out the truth and avenging him, the future emperor will have no mother, and the future Ming will have no dongliang!" Now it is the Lord of Forgiveness who will see you once in a hundred years, and he will not see you to avenge him, and finally bury himself in it......"

The words "......" hit the key point of silence, making him full of anger and unable to vent, and his whole body trembled slightly.

In fact, from the moment he saw the emperor lying ill in the Qianqing Palace, Shen Mo's whole person was deeply immersed in a kind of anger and grief of renunciation. If someone said before that he would have such deep feelings for an emperor, he would definitely laugh at it, and Emperor Jiajing treated him well in the past, but he only felt relieved after his death.

However, what happened to Longqing made Shen Mo really feel what it means to be heartbroken.

I don't know when this emperor has been so important in his Xinfeng, is this loyalty and patriotism? Are you worried about the future of the Empire? Neither.

It's about sincerity for sincerity...... Zhu Zaili, the emperor of Longqing, although he was lazy and inactive all his life, but he had a sincere kindness that was unique among the emperors of all dynasties. He also gave him the greatest freedom and trust, and let him make meritorious contributions, until he became seriously ill, and in order not to let him be wronged, he took great pains to do it............ It's hard to believe that an emperor would be so sincere, but even if he pretends, he can pretend for a lifetime" is true.

People are not iron and stone, who can be ruthless? Year after year, day after day, even a stone can be warmed. Although Shen Mo is not the kind of ancient righteous man who "treats me as a countryman, I should treat me as a countryman, but he is a person with flesh and blood and feelings, and he has long accepted Longqing's friendship in his heart......

The emperor is a lonely man, "He, an official residence, is indeed a court chief, so why not only have subordinates and no friends?" Therefore, he cherished this friendship very much, and even made up his mind a long time ago, if the emperor really wanted to take down himself, he would never cause trouble for him" and took his family to Nanyang to live.

For the emperor's feelings, he was unwilling to be a rebel and thief in the Ming Dynasty............ Those who changed the grass, the grass life or something, although they are too big, they are too empty and too far, and although Yui is pitifully small, it is really warm, so that he can't hurt it......

Although he has not been in the capital for many years, the silent intelligence system "has not relaxed its surveillance of all aspects for a moment, and he thinks that "most of the things in the capital are under his own surveillance, including Meng He's bringing Doctor Hu into the palace, including Zhang Juzheng's letter to Feng Bao...... He was already trying his best not to be discovered, and the darkness was protecting the emperor. It's like taking Doctor Hu's Divine Pill for testing, and it was found that they were all sugar pills that couldn't eat dead people and had no effect......

But he also has the power to do not want the place, that is, the big inside, the deep palace high walls, two hundred years of imperial power blessing, blocking all external forces. Just like Wang Yin said, unless you dare to clear the king's side, you can't meddle in Ouchi at all. It was a completely discordant world, and after the emperor fell, it was the world of concubines and eunuchs. Confucius said that only women are difficult to raise, that is, they are mentioned.

However, silence is not out of the question, if he wants, he can let Feng Bao finish on the spot, but that will involve Li Gui to say...... As Wang Yin said, does Emperor Longqing really want to see that kind of situation presented?

So in the Qianqing Palace, he fell into the battle between heaven and man. Feelings made him want to tear Feng Bao and Li Guifei to pieces, but reason told him that Long Qing was probably unwilling to let him do this. So he could only be so silent......

After a long time, Shen Mo sighed deeply: "Sir, I understand what you mean, but I won't cooperate with Feng Bao, this is my bottom line." ”

"My lord, when did you become so stubborn?" This is the first time Wang Yin has seen Shen Mo make a bullish move, and he scratched his head and said: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is just around the corner!" The fourteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be a young man who is only ten years old. Therefore, this first assistant can use the full stomach to guide the country, promote the turbidity and create a peaceful and prosperous era! And there is no need to waste on intrigue as before! Isn't this the heaven-sent opportunity you've been waiting for? Saying that, he said clearly: "To achieve this day, harmony in the palace is a major premise, so marrying the concubine and Feng Bao is not to refrain from doing homework, this point, we are already behind Zhang Juzheng, or we will catch up, I am afraid that we will hate the eternal." ”

The silence of the "......" fell into a long silence again, and then the night became thicker, and everything was silent, only the chirping of insects, which made people's hearts more calm and solemn than in the daytime.

Hengzhu couldn't get out of the palace anymore, so Wang Yin patiently waited for him to figure it out, and after a long time, he heard Shen Mo say leisurely: "How does Mr. know that Zhang Juzheng's method must be right?" ”

"If the adults don't interfere," Wang Yin couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said I believe that he can be the prime minister of Daping for at least ten years, which is enough to sway his life's ambitions.

"And what about ten years from now?" Shen Mo asked, "Can it still prosper forever?" "Hu no 100 days red" people are not good for a thousand days." Wang Yin sighed lightly and said, "There are ten years, which is enough to do what you want to do." As for ten years later, who can see so far if people are not sages? ”

"......" silence was silent again.

Everyone stayed up all night and suffered until dawn. As soon as several cabinet ministers sat down in the council chamber and were about to start a meeting, a eunuch in a white filial piety dress came in to report that Emperor Longqing had been stationed in Bintian this morning.

Although they had been mentally prepared, the four ministers still inevitably cried bitterly, "It's just that only I know how many true feelings and how many false intentions there are." And the real grief has been vented yesterday, even if it is like a mourning parent, Gao Ge Lao, did not cry like yesterday, compared to changing into the mourning clothes of the Tsing Yi horn belt, went to pay homage to the remains of Emperor Longqing and came back, has wiped away his tears, and endured his grief to prepare for the funeral.

This kind of national gift" has been successful, especially six years ago, the Ming Dynasty just sent away a former emperor, and the courtiers at that time were still in the court, so naturally everything was as it was, in fact, there was no panic. The Department of General Administration immediately sent a post for 800 miles and published the obituary throughout the country: the Ministry of Rites formulated a funeral ceremony in accordance with the ancestral system, and the cabinet ministers agreed on the name of the Emperor Daxing, and Emperor Hongtianda Dao Yuanyi Shengde Xianwen Huan Wu Hong Xiaojing Emperor "

Temple No. Gaozong: Yamen all over the country set up mourning halls to pay tribute to them, and there is no need to come to Beijing......

As a message was sent from the cabinet, first the capital, then the provincial capitals, the prefectures, and even the county towns and towns" fell into great mourning. The old man was reluctant to give up on this young emperor, although he was always scolded by the ministers for being lustful and obsessed with political affairs. But the common people don't care about this, what they can really feel is that the taxes they pay are lighter, and their lives are getting better and better year by year, "The people in the north can eat, and the people in the south even have meat to eat; Especially in the south and the north, the people in the border areas finally no longer have to worry about military disasters from time to time, and they can live and work in peace and contentment" to enjoy the joy of the people. Although these things were not done by the emperor himself, they were all realized under his rule, so the common people accepted his affection and took credit for him......

In the land of China, two capitals and thirteen provinces, every family sets up sacrifices, everyone brings filial piety, all wedding feasts are stopped, all red is covered by white curtains, and all are immersed in mournful national mourning. As officials in Beijing, they must set an example for the world, except for the military department, the rest of the officials of the yamen put down all the work in their hands and went to the noon gate to join the kneeling ceremony for seven consecutive days.

Under the planning of the high arch, the funeral of Emperor Daxing was naturally carried out with the highest specifications and without any error; However, at the same time, another important gift is also in the midst of intense preparations. That was the enthronement gift of the new emperor.

Emperor Yan claimed to be a lonely man, but in fact, he was reasonable, and when he was alive, he was in a high place and cold, and no one could really get close: after he died, although the funeral was solemn, he could not enjoy the principle of his son's observance.

In fact, instead of waiting three years, the crown prince had to take the throne immediately, and he could not bear it for a moment. Because, a country cannot be without a king......

On the second day of Emperor Gaozong's death, that is, on the 16th day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Longqing, the Ministry of Rites issued a persuasion ceremony according to the regulations: three days later, it organized hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as military and civilian people, to persuade them outside the noon gate. I implore the crown prince to take the throne as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people in the world.

The crown prince is still too young to answer in person, but even if he could, he didn't need to bother with it, because everything had to be done in strict accordance with etiquette. So the cabinet said: "Reading the notes of the institute, seeing the Qing and others worrying about the country, taking into account the grief and the matter of maintaining the unification, how can I bear to hear it, please ......ban it" means, I know your good intentions, but my father has just died, and I really refuse to discuss the matter of reunification, so please forbid it.

You have to dare to say, okay, then let others be the ones to ensure that the prince can destroy you. At the end of the day, it's just a law, as if it's about being promised right away, and it seems like it's too impatient. Therefore, after two frequent back and forth, on July 22, the prince came to Chengtianmen in filial piety clothes to accept the third persuasion of the hundred officials and the common people. The heavenly position is extremely important, the sincerity is difficult for a long time, and the situation is bowing to the fate, and he does not dare to be the same, and he reluctantly obeys the ...... he asks, as if he is reluctant.

However, for the fourteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun, who was only ten years old, being an emperor was indeed a torturous thing. He was still immersed in the grief of losing his father, and he had to remember the boring red tape immediately. Because without further ado, as soon as he promised to ascend the throne, the Qin Heavenly Eunuch immediately reported the chosen auspicious day, July 25, only two days after the first seven days of the Daxing Emperor......

Everything was in full swing, and everyone, including the prince, was so busy forgetting their grief that they didn't have the time to intrigue, just thinking about their errands and never making mistakes. Because almost in the blink of an eye, it was the day when the new emperor ascended to the pole. On the twenty-fifth day, because it was still during the state funeral, the enthronement ceremony was held as usual. Early in the morning, the cabinet ministers parted and went to the northern and southern suburbs, the Taimiao, and the shrine to pay respects, while the crown prince came to his father's Zigong Palace. Then he bowed to his father's coffin...... Everything was as his father had done six years earlier.

The only disagreement is that after everything is done, he still has to worship his two mothers, while his father, Emperor Longqing, can only worship the tablet of his mother's concubine......

After a series of kneeling and bowing, the little emperor with a bruise on his forehead was taken by Feng Bao to the Zhongji Hall, where he sat down on a high dragon chair, and accepted the worship of the minister in the sound of Shao music. Then he sent an edict to the world, announcing that the next year would be changed to the first year of Wanli......
