[Today's second shift, there will be a third shift in the evening]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That day, Deng Haonan and Qian Qianyi kept talking late at night.

After Qian Qianyi left, Deng Haonan stayed directly in Cining Palace and discussed countermeasures with Zhang Yan.

"Qian Qianyi was subdued by you?"

Pillowed next to Deng Haonan, Zhang Yan was surprised. He didn't doubt Deng Haonan's ability, but he didn't expect Qian Qianyi and the other Donglin Party to recognize Deng Haonan as the master so quickly.

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "In fact, it was Qian Qianyi who took the initiative to put it forward, and I didn't disclose this intention at all before."

"That means you have all expectations"

Zhang Yan was very happy, she knew that she could finally stop worrying all day. As a mother, she certainly hopes that her child will become emperor. However, Zhang Yan couldn't do that, because that would ruin Deng Haonan's hard-earned reputation. At the same time, she knew that it was impossible for her to appear with her previous identity, let alone be a queen, so as not to be discovered. Therefore, she never pestered Deng Haonan to ask to be the queen and her son to be the prince.

This also saves Deng Haonan from worrying, because in Deng Haonan's heart, the position of the queen will always be his most beloved Xiao Wanshu, and the prince must naturally be the queen's concubine.

Zhang Yan was able to give up her current status and start over with a different identity, which made Deng Haonan very happy and impressed with her.

"In a few days, I will arrange for the imperial doctor to announce that Xiao Guoxing is frail and sickly, and it is difficult for him to grow up. Then Qian Qianyi will lead the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to ask you to set up a new monarch."

Zhang Yan asked, "Then what should I do?" Will it be enough for me to make you emperor directly? ”

Deng Haonan shook his head and said, "No, you have to follow the royal practice first, and mention that Zhu Youzhen, the king of Xin, will inherit the unification."

Zhang Yan was shocked and said, "How can this work?" King Xin has always been in good health, and he also made a contribution to Lanzhou Wei last year, if he mentions the throne by King Xin, there will definitely be some ministers who support it."

"Yan'er don't worry, listen to me"

Deng Haonan smiled and comforted Zhang Yan for a while before he said: "We have come to this point, all for four words, that is, the name is justified." If it weren't for the drag of these four words, I would have become an emperor a few years ago. ”

Zhang Yan nodded, Deng Haonan was right. If it weren't for the drag of the word "justifiable", with Deng Haonan's strength, he would have been able to unify the Ming Dynasty by force a few years ago. Of course, Deng Haonan is also thinking about his own country, and the unification of the Ming Dynasty by force will consume too much national strength and make the people miserable. And chose to take the "justifiable usurpation route", although it was delayed for several years, but because of this, it won the reputation of the people. When the gap between the two outcomes of the rebels' killing and the support of the people was too great, Deng Haonan weighed the pros and cons and chose the latter.

"But what if King Shin is able to ascend the throne?"

Zhang Yan's worries are not unnecessary, Deng Haonan has long thought of this.

"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks"

Looking at Deng Haonan's mysterious appearance, Zhang Yanjiao said angrily: "Say it quickly, otherwise you will not be allowed to sleep tonight"

"I'm so happy, I don't plan to sleep."

Deng Haonan took the opportunity to pick up Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was touched and her whole body was soft, and she resisted and said: "Sue me quickly, otherwise you are not allowed to make a mistake"

Deng Haonan** After a while, she said business.

"You mentioned that King Xin inherited the unification, this is for the people of the world to see, do many royal family members in the province have opinions as for King Xin? I have a way to deal with him."

"You're not going to kill him, are you?"

Of course, Deng Haonan would not be so stupid as to kill King Xin, he already had a plan in his heart.

It turned out that Deng Haonan had already discussed with Qian Qianyi. In order to follow the formality, the Queen Mother will first mention the accession of Zhu Youzhen, the king of yì letters. Then the Nakanomiya will issue a decree asking King Shin if he wants to be emperor. Deng Haonan will send his henchmen and internal supervisors to Lanzhou Weixin Wangfu to announce the decree, and tell Zhu Youzhen, the king of sùxin, that he needs to refuse twice according to the etiquette system, and wait until the third time before he can "reluctantly accept it".

In fact, the succession to the king does not need to be rejected twice and then accepted. This rule is only available when the emperor is on the throne, but the eunuch of the middle palace told King Xin that King Xin could no longer directly say that he wanted to be emperor in front of the whole world, which would have a bad reputation, so King Xin had to refuse twice and wait for the third time.

And Deng Haonan's article does this. When King Xin refused twice, Qian Qianyi and other civil and military officials publicly criticized King Xin for his inability to manage the government, and then asked someone else to be appointed as the new king. However, looking at the whole dynasty, there is no one from the royal family other than King Shin who can inherit the throne.

At this time, Qian Qianyi will lead the civil and military officials and ask the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan to issue an order for Deng Haonan, the king of Liao, to inherit the unification.

Of course, Zhang Yan can appoint Deng Haonan as the emperor's heir at that time.

"You're necrotic"

Zhang Yan was shocked when she heard this, and finally understood Deng Haonan's strategy. It's just that once this strategy is implemented, she has to be so angry that she has to believe that Wang Zhu Youzhen vomits blood, it is really too manipulative, although Zhang Yan is a little unbearable, but she has no choice, so she has to twist Deng Haonan's soft flesh a few times to show revenge.

"Xiao Nizi, dare to say that if the husband is bad, then the husband will be bad for you"

Deng Haonan put his hands up and down, Zhang Yan quickly gasped for breath, and for a while, the spring in the phoenix tent was boundless.

The two fought fiercely until dawn, and naturally they couldn't go to the early court.

After Deng Haonan got up at noon, he just called his subordinates and explained the plan. Lin Feng, Huang Zupei, Zhang Pu, as well as Wang Chen of the Security Bureau, Wang Zhaoyang of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and others were immediately overjoyed when they learned that Deng Haonan was preparing to become emperor, and they made suggestions one after another, improving it on the basis of the existing plan, and making sure that it was seamless.

Outside the palace, it is still Guotai and Min'an, and Zhao Chuanfeng escorted the Yunbao fleet into Beijing openly, and it has been rumored. The wealth is huge, and the whole dynasty admires it, and it soon spreads to the hundreds, and it suddenly becomes a well-known after-dinner topic. For a time, the Chinese people yearned for colonizing overseas, and they invisibly admired the current regent Deng Haonan even more.

However, within the walls of the palace, a big drama was being staged at this time.

On June 5, the second year of Tongzhi, when everyone was immersed in the great joy of the looted treasures of Luzon, the imperial physician suddenly announced that the Tongzhi Emperor's health was deteriorating and it was difficult for him to grow up.

Then there was news from the middle palace of the inner court that the Empress Dowager Cheng was ready to set up a new monarch.

Of course, this news only came out, and after Deng Haonan discussed it with Lin Feng, Zhang Pu and others, Zhang Pu pointed out the loopholes. It is absolutely important not to let the Nakanomiya send the message directly in clear text first, so as not to cause the king to accept the appointment when he receives the decree for the first time.

Deng Haonan thought that what Zhang Pu said was right, so he did not let Zhonggong invent the text, but let Zhonggong spread the news. In this way, even if there is a mistake, it can be remedied.

Even if it was oral news, the court was shaken, and hundreds of civil and military officials exchanged heads and ears, talking about who the next emperor would be if Emperor Tongzhi died young. Qian Qianyi and others, who are in the know, naturally know it in their hearts, and they are as stable as Mount Tai. But after all, most of the people who don't know about it have begun to guess who the next emperor will be, so as to stand in line early.

According to the plan, the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to inquire and test the tone of the officials. Deng Haonan took the opportunity to mention that Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, would inherit the unification and test whether any officials would echo it.

After a try, I suddenly found that Luo Yuyi, Wang Yongguang, Cao Yubian and other three people actually supported King Xin, while the other officials were silent.

Deng Haonan knew that Luo Yuyi, Wang Yongguang, and Cao Yubian were immediately included in the same party of Xinwang, and three groups of people from the Jinyi Health and Security Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau were sent to monitor them around the clock.

Deng Haonan mentioned that he believed in the king, and Zhang Yan asked Qian Qianyi, but Qian Qianyi objected, saying that the king was not enough to inherit the unification. So Zhang Yan pushed the boat down the river and said that he would issue an edict to ask the king of letters, but when the decree was issued, Zhang Yan did not tell the ministers.

At the end of the meeting, the ministers all knew that the Queen Mother was ready to establish King Xin as the prince, and they were just waiting for the announcement of the invention of the Middle Palace.

The rumors of the capital soon spread to the Xinwang Mansion in Lanzhou, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of Xin, was shocked when he heard the news, he never expected that such a good thing would fall on him.

"Congratulations to the prince, the position of this prince belongs to you"

In the garden, Zhu Youzhen was accompanying the princess and her six-year-old daughter Changping County Lord to enjoy the flowers, and Wang Chengen was accompanying him.

"Is my father going to be emperor?"

The county lord of Changping asked his father with a pair of big eyes, and the mother next to him hurriedly pulled her aside, not allowing her to talk nonsense.

Zhu Youzhen was unusually excited, and said very proudly to his daughter's words: "If your father becomes the emperor, then you are the little princess of Changping."

Changping suddenly jumped happily, and her mother had no choice but to shake her head and smile helplessly.

Wang Chengen said again: "The royal family is withering, and now except for the prince, no one can take on such a heavy responsibility."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "I didn't expect this king to have such blessings."

"It's just that the Liao King is huge, I don't know if he is willing to give up the right to be the regent of the prison country, and he will become a big trouble for the prince in the future."

As soon as Deng Haonan was mentioned, Zhu Youzhen's expression instantly turned cold. Seeing this, the princess next to her hurriedly pulled the county lord of Changping to play in the distance.

"Don't worry" Zhu Youzhen said: "This Deng Haonan is still capable, and the dynasty is well governed by him." The country that was originally full of holes has miraculously been resurrected."

"Lord Wang, you-"

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen puzzled, and the latter said: "Let him work hard for me first, and in the future, this king will clean him up little by little."

Wang Chengen was about to speak, when suddenly an internal supervisor came to report, and Gonggong Liu came to announce the decree.

When King Xin heard this, he was already overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the front hall to burn incense and receive the decree.

Before Gonggong Liu read the holy decree, he first told Wang Chengen the rules. When Gonggong Liu announced the appointment of King Xin to succeed Emperor Tongzhi as the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, King Xin was about to accept the decree, but Wang Chengen hurriedly whispered in King Xin's ear and repeated the words of Gonggong Liu, saying that he needed to refuse twice to show that King Xin had not peeked into the throne before, and he could accept the appointment for the third time.

Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, originally had a ghost in his heart, and after hearing this, he thought that now he was only appointed as the prince, and with Deng Haonan's strength, he could still use the means to abolish him. Therefore, I didn't dare to be careless, thinking that this Liu Gonggong was a close confidant of the Queen Mother, and he did not suspect him, so he had to refuse to receive the decree according to what Liu Gonggong said.

Refusal of the decree is a protest

But at the moment, Zhu Youzhen has no other way, and he has forgotten about this matter. Gonggong Liu smiled faintly, and secretly laughed that Zhu Youzhen had already been set, so he didn't expose it and continued to act.

"In a few days, a second father-in-law will come to announce the decree, and the prince will do it."

After speaking, Grandpa Liu left immediately. King Xin wanted to keep him, but the other party said that he was in a hurry to return to Beijing to report, so King Xin had to let him go.

After Gonggong Liu left, King Xin was a suspicious person, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. If he hadn't been too excited when he heard that he had been appointed as the prince, he wouldn't have had time to think.

"It shouldn't be wrong, this father-in-law Liu is indeed a cronie of the Queen Mother's side"

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, although he didn't believe that Deng Haonan would kindly help him ascend the throne, but he could trust the Queen Mother.

A few days later, just when Zhu Youzhen was in a hurry, the second eunuch came, who was still a close confidant of the Queen Mother. At this time, Zhu You's prosecutor was relieved. As had been arranged beforehand, he refused the order of the Holy Decree for the second time.

And Zhu Youzhen was happy, forgetting that there had been no news from the capital's fine work for many days. It turned out that since Zhu Youzhen disobeyed the will of the first arrival, the capital was shaken. Zhu Youzhen resisted the decree and did not accept the news that the prince only accepted the throne spread far and wide. The Xinwang eyeliner in the capital wanted to pass on the news, but Deng Haonan had no choice but to order the capital to enter and not to leave, and the entire Zhili, Shaanxi, and Shanxi all blocked the news, so that the Xinwang in Lanzhou could not get any news about Gyeonggi.

Zhu Youzhen's protest made the ministers puzzled. The Empress Dowager Zhang Yan was furious, Qian Qianyi demanded that King Xin be severely punished, and Deng Haonan came forward to intercede and asked the Queen Mother to give King Xin another chance. So, Zhang Yan agreed and issued the second holy decree. In fact, when Zhang Yan announced the issuance of the second holy decree, Zhu Youzhen had already resisted the decree for the second time, and the second holy decree had already been reversed to the capital the day before.

Deng Haonan deliberately blocked the news, and only took out the second holy decree on the third day, indicating that King Xin had resisted the decree for the second time. This time, Deng Haonan was no longer pleading with King Xin, and the civil and military officials suddenly lost their last hope for King Xin.

The Empress Dowager Zhang Yan issued an order to cut off the title of King Xin on the grounds that King Xin had resisted the decree twice in a row. Since King Xin was the younger brother of the first emperor, he was exempted from capital crimes, and he was never allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of his life.

King Xin was waiting for the third holy decree to come in the palace, sitting on the big dream of becoming the prince, and the palace of King Xin was full of joy and lights. As a result, when the third holy decree came, it cut off his throne and made him dumbfounded.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhu Youzhen was furious, smashing bottles and jars, crackling.

Wang Chengen hurriedly told Zhu Youzhen the news he had just gotten, but Zhu Youzhen was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma after hearing it.

After Deng Haonan took advantage of this opportunity to successfully overthrow King Xin, there was no longer a threat to him in front of him, so the next plan was continued.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Deng Haonan said that he was sick at home and ignored the government from then on.

Three days later, news came from the palace that Emperor Tongzhi, who was only two years old, had died.

The emperor's premature death and fake death did not make the people suspicious, because none of the children of the Emperor of the Apocalypse grew up, and they all died early.

The next day, Qian Qianyi led hundreds of civil and military officials to ask the empress dowager to establish a new monarch in the court. Zhang Yan casually mentioned a series of royal family members, Qian Qianyi and other civil and military officials were opposed, and finally Qian Qianyi took the lead in saying that Deng Haonan, the king of Liao, was up to the task, and the Zhu Ming royal family was immoral and incompetent, so he asked the queen mother to put the well-being of the people in the world first and change the dynasty.

Zhang Yan then pushed the boat down the river and issued a decree to announce to the world, and the Ming family abdicated to Deng Haonan, the king of Liao.

On July 10, the whole dynasty knew that the Ming family had abdicated, and Chan gave the throne to the King of Liao.

There was no expected opposition, except for members of the Ming royal family. On the contrary, there are countless people who support the King of Liao as the emperor, there is naturally no problem with the civil and military officials, and the common people support Deng Haonan, in their eyes, only the King of Liao gave them a stable and happy life, and the people do not want to change people and policies because of this.

On the 11th, the Empress Dowager issued an order to officially announce the abdication of the Ming family. At noon, Qian Qianyi led hundreds of civil and military officials to bow in front of the Liao Wang's Mansion and asked Deng Haonan to come out to control the overall situation.

On the first day, they touched the closed door, and Deng Haonan declined.

In the next two days, Qian Qianyi led hundreds of civil and military officials to bow down three times, but Deng Haonan refused.

On the third day, Qian Qianyi once again led hundreds of civil and military officials to come and called on the people near the capital. is willing to let Deng Haonan be the emperor, so he gave hundreds of Wanmin umbrellas.

This time, there was a sea of people outside the Liao Wangfu. Qian Qianyi's play was ruthless enough, and in order to express his sincerity, he mobilized hundreds of officials and people to kneel all the time.

In the palace, Deng Haonan sat in front of the coffee table and drank tea carelessly. And among his five wives, except for Wanshu and Jiu'er, the other three daughters have been surrounding him for the past few days, constantly counting that he has gone too far.

Originally, after Tan Wanqing, Yan Siyu and Hai Lanzhu knew that Deng Haonan was acting, they kept blaming him for being hypocritical. However, it wasn't until today that they knew that the Wanmin umbrella was given by the real people, that they realized that their husband had really won the hearts of the people, and they immediately stopped counting him.

"Husband, we were wrong, can't we make you tea?"

The three girls surrounded Deng Haonan, and apologized to Deng Haonan while being coquettish, while Wanshu, who was not far away, secretly laughed with Jiu'er. Wanshu believes in her husband, no matter what Deng Haonan does, she thinks it is right. And Jiu'er has just married into the palace and only knows Wanshu, so she is on Wanshu's side.

After a long time, Deng Haonan was shaken by the three women's shaking heads several times, and finally had to glare at the three of them, which was considered to be gone.

"The three of you are going to be your husband together tonight, and you are not allowed to wear clothes."

Deng Haonan whispered in the third daughter's ear, which immediately made the third daughter embarrassed and angry, but they had misunderstood their husbands before, and they felt guilty, so they had to glare back at Deng Haonan coquettishly, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Wanshu and Jiu'er could also hear it, the former just glanced at Deng Haonan with disgust, and he was no longer surprised. Jiu'er, on the other hand, had a surprised expression on her face.

Deng Haonan looked at Jiu'er with a wicked smile and said, "Or Jiu'er will come together tonight."

Jiu'er screamed, and then his face turned crimson, and he said coquettishly: "Don't do it" V
