"Minister Li Yuntian is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Just when the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was stunned, a voice broke the silence in the hall, causing everyone to come back to their senses and look in the direction from which the voice came.

Then, in the shocked eyes of the people, I saw a military attache wearing the costume of Long Xiangwei walking out of the guards on the side of the high platform quickly, came to Zhang Fu and knelt down in front of Zhang Fu and received the holy decree with both hands.

"It's Zhen Guogong!" At this moment, Li Yuntian had already taken off the beard attached to his face, and although he was wearing Long Xiangwei's military uniform, he was still recognized by the ministers at the scene at a glance, and some people couldn't help but exclaim.

"Zhen Guogong is not dead!"

"Look, it's really Zhen Guogong."

"What's going on? Who is the person who died in the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace? ”

……

Due to Li Yuntian's appearance, there was an immediate commotion in the hall, and the civil and military officials were talking to each other in private, whispering, and it was a little hard to believe the bizarre scene in front of them for a while.

King Yue looked at Li Yuntian who was kneeling there dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth were slightly open, his mind was blank, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that Li Yuntian, who should have died in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, would appear here unbelievably.

Lu Tianxing frowned, his face was gloomy and terrifying, although he didn't know how Li Yuntian did it, but he had already realized that Li Yuntian had escaped from the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, which meant that he and King Yue were already in danger, and it was obvious that Li Yuntian would not sit idly by and watch a series of recent events happen in the capital.

Yang Shiqi and Zhang Hao and others were all happy, judging from Li Yuntian's current situation, it was not like he had been injured in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and Emperor Xuande had already sent someone to find out that Li Yuntian had been framed before his death, although he did not have time to issue an edict to rehabilitate Li Yuntian, but everyone knew that Li Yuntian had escaped from the arquebus case of the Bafang Warehouse.

It stands to reason that Li Yuntian should have appeared immediately after escaping, but he had been hiding in the shadows until now, when he suddenly appeared in the Taihe Palace, which obviously had another meaning.

Due to Li Yuntian's appearance, the situation in the main hall changed unconsciously, and the originally dominant King Yue was in an embarrassing situation, and the faces of those Juyong Pass guards showed a look of awe, and they involuntarily put down the swords and guns in their hands.

Since defeating the southern invasion of the Northern Yuan, Emperor Xuande asked Li Yuntian to assist the Gyeonggi Governor's Office in reorganizing the troops of Gyeonggi, including the Beijing Army, the Shanhaiguan Garrison and the Juyongguan Garrison stationed in the capital, all of which were reorganized by the Xiaowu Army.

Therefore, when those sergeants in Yongguan couldn't help but be in awe when they saw Li Yuntian, they were invisibly suppressed by the momentum on Li Yuntian's body.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this holy decree is forged, since Taizu, the king with a different surname of my Ming Dynasty has always been posthumously sealed, and no one has ever been crowned a king with a different surname alive!"

Seeing that the situation at the scene was not good, a large amount of cold sweat oozed from the forehead of Wang Jie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Yuntian's sudden appearance made him bear huge psychological pressure, and then he thought of something, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, Wang Jie was right, the Ming Dynasty has never had a noble alive since Emperor Hongwu, they are all posthumously crowned, and they all end up in a lifetime.

Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Southern Ming Dynasty when the emperor was weak and those generals who supported the army and respected themselves as kings, no one has ever been crowned king in the rest of the period.

Moreover, Emperor Xuande's holy decree did not say that Li Yuntian's prince would die in several lifetimes, so it means that the hereditary succession can be passed down from generation to generation, and the glory that Li Yuntian enjoys is unparalleled.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian didn't expect Emperor Xuande to give him the title of king, in addition to being a compensation for Li Yuntian's innocent imprisonment in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion for so long, but also let him assist the prince wholeheartedly and shape him into a generation of loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Lord Wang, you may have forgotten that according to the "Daming Huidian" left by Emperor Taizu, the king with a different surname must be honored with two major merits, one is to expand the territory, and the other is to save the country."

As soon as Wang Jie's words fell, Chen Shan, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, opened his mouth to refute it, "This holy decree was indeed issued by Emperor Daxing, and was written by Song Lun, a scholar of Shuji, under the witness of this official and the queen's mother. ”

"Empress Dowager, this holy decree was written by the minister." At this time, Chen Lun, who was standing in the queue of the Jishi, walked quickly to the front of the hall, knelt down at the Empress Dowager Zhang and said.

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Empress Sun in surprise when she heard this, she was shocked, she never thought that Empress Sun would hide this matter from her.

But soon Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes were dark, at this time she had already understood that this must be the meaning of Emperor Xuande, the purpose of which was to guard against King Yue, otherwise Empress Sun would not tell her, now it seems that Emperor Xuande's worries are to take precautions, who would have thought that King Yue would lead the army to force the palace.

After listening to Chen Shan's defense, Wang Jie was speechless, according to the "Daming Huidian", Li Yuntian did meet the conditions for being crowned king, as for whether Li Yuntian was sealed when he was alive or posthumously, it depends on Emperor Xuande's mood, but Emperor Xuande's previous kings with different surnames were posthumously sealed.

"Zhenguo Gong, if you support this king to succeed to the throne, with your merits, this king can make you the prince of the Ming Dynasty and assist the king in governing the Ming Dynasty." Seeing that the silence in the main hall was restored again, King Yue came back to his senses, said solemnly to Li Yuntian, and threw an attractive olive branch to Li Yuntian.

Compared with Lu Tianxing, King Yue obviously values Li Yuntian who is both civil and military, and has both ability and political integrity, at least Li Yuntian has not betrayed the Ming Dynasty, let alone betrayed the imperial power, and is worthy of his trust.

"Lord, Emperor Daxing already knew about your return to the capital before his death, and it stands to reason that this is a capital crime of rebellion, but Emperor Daxing knew that the prince was coerced by Lu Tianxing to return to the capital, so he did not pursue the matter in consideration of family affection, but just let the king secretly assist the prince to ascend the throne."

Li Yun got up and bowed slightly to King Yue, holding the holy decree of Emperor Xuande with both hands and said, "Emperor Daxing once gave an edict to this king, thinking that the prince is kind-hearted, and if Lu Tianxing is not tempted by it, he will never do anything that damages the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, so no matter what kind of big mistake the prince makes, as long as he knows that the mistake can be corrected, he will pardon the prince's guilt." ”

The reason why Li Yuntian called himself "this king" was because he had accepted the holy decree of Emperor Xuande and officially became the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty.

The prince is divided into two kinds, one is the prince, the two are the county king, Li Yuntian's Zhongwu King is the county king, and the Yue King is the prince, so he naturally has to salute the Yue King.

It is worth mentioning that the princes accounted for the vast majority of the kings with different surnames in the Southern Ming Dynasty, which shows that the Southern Ming court was unable to control the situation at that time.

After listening to Li Yuntian's words, the civil and military officials in the hall couldn't help but be silent for a while, Emperor Xuande was able to forgive the "rebellious" King Yue with such a broad mind, which is really admirable, you must know how many fathers and sons killed each other and brothers turned against each other in order to compete for the throne, but Emperor Xuande chose to forgive.

King Yue didn't expect Emperor Xuande to do this, a look of surprise flashed on his face, no matter what, he never imagined that Emperor Xuande would be so tolerant of him, if it was left on other emperors, he would definitely want to get rid of him a long time ago.

Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes showed a look of relief after being shocked, with Emperor Xuande's message, King Yue would be able to get out of this rebellion case, and then glanced at Li Yuntian meaningfully, with her understanding of Emperor Xuande, Emperor Xuande would definitely not let King Yue go lightly, and in order for the prince to be able to govern smoothly, how could King Yue be put under house arrest.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhang suspected that Li Yuntian was a false oracle, Emperor Xuande would not be so generous to forgive King Yue's guilt, it was a workaround for Li Yuntian to maintain the face of the Ming Dynasty, if King Yue forced the palace to finally evolve into Emperor Xuande and King Yue's "brothers, friends and brothers", then the influence of King Yue's rebellion was virtually eliminated, and it would be recited by later generations.

However, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't make up her mind, perhaps Emperor Xuande remembered the brotherhood with King Yue when he was a child because of the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, so he didn't want to put King Yue to death and forgave him.

Obviously, only Li Yuntian knows the truth of the matter, and in terms of results, this is a happy ending, and Empress Dowager Zhang really can't think of a better solution.

Because of Emperor Xuande's oracle full of brotherly affection, the tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased, and those civil and military officials who previously supported King Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What is especially important is that everyone knows that Li Yuntian has a gentle temperament, and he is not the kind of person who likes to raise a big prison, and if Li Yuntian is in charge of this case, even if someone wants to take the opportunity to dump dissidents, they will not be able to do it, which makes their hanging hearts finally let go.

"Lord, Hugh was deceived by this person's rhetoric, now that the prince has controlled the situation above the palace, as long as he inherits the unification, he will be my great tomorrow, how can he give up halfway?"

Lu Tianxing's face had become very ugly, and as Li Yuntian appeared, he keenly found that the atmosphere in the court had unconsciously calmed down, and even Wang Jie, who had previously supported King Yue the most firmly, also showed a relaxed look on his face, and he couldn't help but feel that Li Yuntian had a great influence on the courtiers, but he would not admit defeat lightly, and after a deep groan, he shouted at the defenders of the Yongguan Pass:

"Soldiers, can you remember that when Song Taizu was added to the dragon robe, all the generals under his command were able to be added to the ranks, and if the king of Yue ascended the throne, you would be the heroes of the dragon, and the glory and wealth would be at your fingertips, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again."

Under Lu Tianxing's bewitchment, a small commotion broke out in the Juyong Pass guards in the palace, who didn't want to ascend to the sky in one step and become the new magnate of the Ming Dynasty.

This makes the situation on the hall that has just eased down become tense again in an instant, as the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and now the defenders of Juyong Pass control the situation of the Taihe Palace, as long as they support the king of Yue to ascend the throne as the emperor, the king of Yue will definitely be rewarded.

The expressions of Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu and others then became solemn, and they glared angrily at Lu Tianxing, it seems that Lu Tianxing is determined to turn the situation of the Ming Dynasty upside down, if Li Yuntian is killed by those Juyong Pass defenders, then the Xiaowu Army will definitely not give up, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely fall into war.

Li Yuntian looked at Lu Tianxing coldly, with a hint of pity in his eyes, could it be that Lu Tianxing thought that he came to the Taihe Hall alone without being completely prepared? R1148
