After Zhao Hui committed suicide and died, the Thousand Bull Army surrendered. The rebellion in the palace has finally subsided, but the turmoil outside the palace has not yet subsided, but Zhang Cheng can't go over to help immediately at this moment.

He shouted to Guo Chunhai: "Quickly carry Your Majesty to the Hanchun Hall to rest, Gonggong Guo, you quickly go to the Imperial Doctor's Office, and ask the Imperial Doctor to come and diagnose Your Majesty quickly." ”

Then, he said to a general of the Yulin Army: "General, please hurry up to His Royal Highness's Mansion and let him go to Suzaku Street." Feng Jingyu stayed behind to guard His Majesty's safety, and the rest of the people, took the body of His Second Highness and followed me to Suzaku Street. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers were ordered.

On Suzaku Street, the two armies have been fighting for nearly two hours, and the street has already been full of blood. More than half of the Xiaoguo army was killed or wounded, and all of Ding Liang's personal soldiers had been killed. Cheng Shide was already exhausted and scarred under the fierce battle, but he had no choice. There was no surrender in this battle, and if it was not successful, it became a benevolent. There will never be an in-between.

Just when Cheng Shide was fighting bloodily, more than 2,000 people rushed to help the enemy, which shocked Cheng Shide again, and the remnants of the Xiaoguo Army were even more chaotic.

"Stop—"

With a shout, accompanied by the sound of Mingjin closing his troops, the two armies separated. And Zhang Cheng, Zhang Boss and others carried Zhao Hui's body and walked forward.

Seeing this, Yu Linjun unconsciously moved out of the way.

Cheng Shide watched Zhang Cheng carrying a person from a distance, but he didn't see who it was. Walking in front of the Xiaoguo army formation, he saw clearly who the person lying down was.

"Your Highness—"

Cheng Shide never imagined that he was fighting for life and death here, desperately for Zhao Hui, and the other party was actually dead. When he saw Zhao Hui's corpse at this moment, he suddenly felt sad and cried.

Zhang Cheng carried Zhao Hui's body and said to Cheng Shide: "Old General Cheng, Second Highness is dead!" He died by suicide. And the person you fought for to the death has passed away, do you think there is any point in you fighting again? ”

"Your Highness" Cheng Shide looked at Zhao Hui's body, tears raging and crying.

Zhang Cheng said again: "Now that you have been surrounded by our army, it is easy to encircle and kill you. But I advise you not to struggle uselessly and surrender. At the very least, it can save the lives of five or six thousand of your soldiers. As long as you promise to surrender, I can promise to intercede with Your Majesty to kill you alone and save your family. Moreover, none of the officers and men of the Xiaoguo Army will be held accountable. How is it? ”

Cheng Shide looked at Zhao Hui's body, then glanced around at the Yulin Army surrounded by him, and finally glanced at the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army beside him, only to see that many of them were seriously injured, and there were countless other minor injuries. The defeat of the Xiaoguo army is a foregone conclusion, and he is bound to die, if he can save his family and the remaining soldiers of the Xiaoguo army, it will be good. It's better than annihilating the whole army and ending up in a quarrel and exterminating the clan. Besides, Zhao Hui is already dead, what's the point of fighting by himself?

"You say promise, do you make it? I don't believe you! Cheng Shide figured it out and said to Zhang Cheng.

"Then I promised the general, can you believe it?"

Zhao Jingyu arrived at this time on horseback.

At this point, Cheng Shide surrendered, and Zhao Jingyu ordered the entire army of Xiaoguo to withdraw to the camp, and the Yulin Army took over from the Xiaoguo Army and guarded the entire capital. At the same time, the city was cleared of armor and thieves who dared to take advantage of the fire.

After arranging all this, leaving a thousand people to clean up the battlefield, and returning to the palace with Zhang Cheng and others

Zhao Jingyu hurriedly returned to the palace and entered the Hanchun Palace, where the imperial doctors were consulting the emperor at this moment. After the doctors finished their diagnosis, they discussed with each other for a while, and finally shook their heads, Zhao Jingyu saw the doctors shaking their heads, and they were originally mentally prepared, but now when they have to face it in person, it is still a little difficult to accept.

In fact, it is understandable that Zhao Mu was already terminally ill, and now he is facing such a great change, after tossing several times, he is angry, and he coughs up blood, and now he can still hold on, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Suddenly, Zhao Mu's mouth moved a few times, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check, Zhao Mu was already weak to the extreme, and his voice was very small: "Summoning His Royal Highness, Zhongshu Ling, and General Shi Kaishan to meet in the palace." ”

Xiao Zhongchang was invited into the Hanchun Hall from outside the palace, Shi Kaishan and Zhao Jingyu entered the palace together, and knelt in front of Zhao Mu together at this moment.

The founding emperor of Great Chu, who has come to the end of his life, is lying on the hospital bed at the moment, and the sadness in his heart can be imagined. He sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and almost single-handedly gave away his son's life, how could he bear it. However, for the sake of the imperial court and the foundation of the Great Chu Dynasty, he also had to embark on this road. Everything is in the boat, and there is no regret.

Looking at Xiao Zhongchang and Shi Kaishan Zhao Jingyu, who were kneeling on the bed, Zhao Mu instructed in a low and slow tone: "Yu'er, I will hand over the foundation of the Great Chu Dynasty to you." The Great Chu Dynasty can have today, it is not easy to come by, you have to do it yourself, and lead the Great Chu Dynasty to the eternal future. I have an edict, which has been handed over to Zhong Chang and the two Aiqing are the mainstays of my Great Chu Dynasty, Jing Yu was in charge of the state at the beginning, and many things are still young. You two should be of great assistance, and you should always be a counselor in military affairs."

Xiao Zhongchang and Shi Kaishan nodded their heads when they heard this, both of them were old ministers who were close to their sixtieth birthdays, and they got along with Zhao Mu day and night, and their feelings were deep, so they were naturally old tears at this time, and they couldn't cry.

"I have something to say to Jing Yu alone, you two should step back first" Zhao Mu seemed to be in much better spirits at this time, but everyone around him knew that this was just a return to the old emperor.

"Yu'er, I only have two sons, you and Hui'er, I am close to the age of sixtieth, old to lose a child, I am saddened, but this is a last resort, this is no longer mentioned that I hope you succeed to the throne, to be more tolerant of his heirs, I know that you are very tolerant, have a large mind, but sometimes too tolerant, but it is not a good thing, especially as the pillar of the emperor Zhang Chengguo, I look at it, its humanities Taowu is not inferior to Zhong Chang, Kaishan two, Zhong Chang and Kaishan are old, unbearable to dominate the world. Now there are only a handful of generals who can command the soldiers and horses of the Great Chu world. I am afraid that this person will be able to lead the group in the future. Although this person has a lot of ravines in his heart and far-reaching wisdom, he is honest and not good at scheming, which is your greatest luck, you should make good use of it, but you should not be in a hurry, so as not to overdo it."

"It's a pity that the sky is not a holiday, I can't see that Dachu dominates the world, the great rivers and mountains are not 100 years old, how can they be 100 years old, the heroes of ancient times, each has returned to the mountains and rivers. After reading this poem, Zhao Mu slowly closed his eyes

Zhang Cheng, who was standing outside guarding the palace, looked at the people in and out of Hanchun Palace, and when he was bored, he suddenly heard a heart-rending cry from inside, Zhang Cheng sighed, looked at the sky with a slight dawn, and muttered: "In this world, after all, there is another master."

The Great Chu Dynasty had just been established and the new emperor ascended the throne, but he died in Hanchun Hall after only one day of reign at the age of fifty-eight.

So far, the new emperor ascended the throne, the enthronement ceremony was simple, and the Ministry of Rites held the national memorial ceremony according to the monarch's ceremony, and the whole country was saddened, and everyone was vegetarian.

Hearing that the emperor died, in the capital, the people were all putting incense cases and crying endlessly, there were countless people who burned incense and worshipped, and wisps of green smoke swirled over the city, so that the whole Los Angeles was immersed in a mournful atmosphere

But for the Great Chu courtiers, it was a panic. Suddenly, I learned that His Majesty had died, and naturally rumors were spreading. Today is obviously the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, but why did he suddenly learn that the emperor died, the bloody scene on Suzaku Street last night is still vivid, and many ministers were frightened and overwhelmed.

Three days after Zhao Jingyu was the first emperor and kept filial piety, the new emperor ascended the throne after Xiao Zhongchang read the edict, respected his father as the ancestor of Chu, and posthumously called the Great Sage Guangwu Emperor. Zhao Hui was posthumously crowned as the king of Wuwei and buried in the Xianling Mausoleum with Chu Gaozu. And announced to the world, amnesty to the world, tax reduction and exemption for one year according to the situation, and changed the name of the country to Jianhui.

Immediately named Zhao Jingyu and his wife Zhao Qin Wanyu as the queen, and his eighteen-year-old only son Zhao Yechen as the crown prince, so the new emperor's accession to the throne was also roughly preliminary.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the courtiers were all panicked, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, many old ministers who had followed King Wuwei were now even more panicked.

Du Hongwen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Chen Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, were discussing countermeasures in the palace at this time. Du Hongwen is in his forties, but he is far less calm than Chen Da, who has just reached forty, and now that King Wuwei is defeated and killed, these henchmen will inevitably bear the brunt and be cut off, as the most loyal follower of King Wuwei, he is naturally afraid at this moment. He sat on the chair, moved a few times, but couldn't sit still, walked quickly to Chen Da's side, and saw that the other party actually had leisure to drink tea, and said angrily: "I said Brother Chen Da, this is all burning eyebrows, are you not in a hurry at all?" ”

"What's the hurry? Oh, you're worried that Your Majesty will take the opportunity to clean us up? You are also the secretary of the military department of Da Chu, why don't you have any calm energy? Let me tell you, with my understanding of His Majesty, not only will he not take the opportunity to clean you up and me, but I am afraid that he will rely on you and me, at most he will be demoted by a few ranks. Chen Da took a sip of tea before putting down the teacup and said calmly.

"But why?" Du Hongwen hurriedly asked.

"You think, at least one-third of the people in this Great Chu court are our protégés, and many of them are raised by us. These people are dead set on you and me, and that's it, Your Majesty will not move us with great fanfare. Besides, His Majesty wants to come to Kuanren and will not do anything too decisive. Chen Da paused, and then said: "At the moment, the world is undecided, is there anyone who can be more familiar with the dispatch of soldiers, horses, money and food than you?" Do you know better than me how to deal with river engineering and water conservancy? ”

Du Hongwen thought about it and felt that it was indeed reasonable, but he thought about it, something was wrong, and said to Chen Da: "But the two old horsemen from the household department and the official department have been competing with us for so many years, even if Your Majesty can tolerate you and me, these two old horsemen will definitely not tolerate you and me." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as nothing is in their hands, they can't help us! Chen Da waved his hand and said.

In the imperial study room of the palace, Emperor Jianhui Zhao Jingyu sat on the bookcase in a dragon robe, and on the left sat Xiao Zhongchang, the secretary of the household department, Lin You, the secretary of the ministry, and Dai Xuantai, the secretary of the ministry, and on the right side, Shi Kaishan, the deputy general of the Yulin Army of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and Zhou Bingyan, the general of the Fuzhou Army. After Zhou Bingyan was initially decided on the event in Los Angeles, he was recalled to the capital by Zhao Jingyu.

"Right now, the rebellion of King Wuwei has subsided, but in the court, there are many subordinates of King Wuwei, all of whom are ministers of my Great Chu Dynasty, and they all say how to deal with it?" Zhao Jingyu sat upright on the bookcase, and now he has retreated from the humility of a courtier when he was a courtier, dressed in a dragon robe, full of majesty. The image of the emperor is full.

The first to stand up was Lin You, he was originally the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and he knew the mess of the Ministry of Industry best, and he also had the most right to speak. He said: "King Wuwei committed a rebellion, and he did not have the strong support of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. Especially in the Ministry of Industry, Chen Da has done a lot of things to deduct money from Hegong Bank every year, but he is suffering from no evidence, otherwise I would have impeached him a long time ago. Now taking advantage of the matter of King Wuwei, it is just right to cut off these two people, and they must not leave a bane! ”

Xiao Zhongchang's brows furrowed when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and Shi Kaishan on the side followed Lin You and reconsidered: "I agree with Lin Shangshu's words, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the foundation is not stable, and there are these two people above the court, and there are many constraints on Your Majesty's domination of the world, especially the military department, which is a very important position, and it must be held by our own people no matter what." ”

Zhao Jingyu didn't speak, he looked at Zhou Bingyan again and asked, "What is the general's opinion?" ”

"The minister is a military general, he doesn't understand the government, and it's not easy for the minister to intervene in this kind of thing. However, in the army, among the officers and soldiers, there will inevitably be many generals who are dissatisfied with the new commander-in-chief, but sometimes it is possible to turn bad things into good things, just like between friends and enemies. In the opinion of Wei Chen, this matter still needs to be considered. Zhou Bingyan bowed slightly, stood up, and arched his hand.

Zhao Jingyu pressed his hand, motioned for Zhou Bingyan to sit down, and then looked at Dai Xuantian, he said, "What about you?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lin Shangshu's words need to be considered. First, my Great Chu court has just experienced a civil strife, which is very costly, and the new emperor ascends the throne, if the court is turbulent again, it will be unfavorable to the country; Second, sooner or later, the world of Great Chu will be unified, but it is rare to be able to unify the world, and looking at the entire imperial court, there are very few people who can be in charge of the Ministry of War and Industry; Third, the southern border affairs have not been appeased, the northern barbarians are ready to move, and our Great Chu Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is really not appropriate to have any major changes. Dai Xuanqi stood up and bowed down to answer.

After looking at a few of them, Zhao Jingyu finally looked at Xiao Zhongchang, got up and asked, "What does Lao Zaifu think?" "Xiao Zhongchang is the old minister that the first emperor relied on the most, and his wisdom and talent are unmatched, so Zhao Jingyu has special respect for him. Although he did not get the name of prime minister, Zhao Jingyu was still called Zaifu.

Xiao Zhongchang stood up a little old, arched his hand and said, "What Xuan Ta said is true. And with that, I will not say any more.

Zhao Jingyu nodded, let him do it, nodded and said, "That's the case, I know." Zhao Jingyu said this without any attitude.

made everyone a little puzzled.
