"Father still wants to enjoy the lanterns at night?" Chen Xianqiao asked Zheng Kezang, who was also haggard, Zheng Kezhang nodded, and then leaned down and put his ear against his wife's already high lower abdomen to listen, Chen Xianqiao gently pulled Zheng Kezang's scattered hair bun, as if to understand her husband's speechlessness. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) "Don't worry about the concubine, Chun Niang and Yu Niang have experience to take care of the concubine, and Sister Ziling is also very nervous." ”

"Slim!" Zheng Kezhang raised his head and sat down, then took his wife in his arms, Chen was delicate and well-behaved leaning on the man's arms, and gradually, the heart rate of the two was the same. "Slim!" Zheng Kezhang called again, and Chen Xianqiao responded softly. "Delicate, if Yu dies." The woman raised her head violently, turned her face, and tried to cover Zheng Kezang's mouth with her hand, Zheng Kezhang gently kissed Chen's delicate little hand, and then moved it away. "If Yu dies, you have to live well, this is for Yu, and for the child in the womb." Zheng Kezhang ignored his wife's tears and said to himself. "The so-called cycle of life and death in Buddhism is not repeated rebirth in infinite time and space, and what is lost is only the memory of this life."

Chen Xianqiao obviously didn't understand Zheng Kezang's words, and at this time, Zheng Kezhang chanted a song of Tao Yuanming's "Elegy".

"The wild grass is boundless, and the aspen is also bleak. In the middle of September, I was sent out of the suburbs. There are no people living on all sides, and the high grave is dawning. The horse is looking up to the sky, and the wind is self-depressed. The dark chamber has been closed, and it will not return for a thousand years. If the dynasty is not restored for a thousand years, the virtuous people are helpless! They have always given each other away, and each returned to his home. Relatives or remnants of sorrow, others have also sang. What is the way to die, and the body is the same as the mountain. ”

Chen Xianqiao suddenly burst into tears, obviously thinking of Chen Yonghua's body, infected by his wife's love, Zheng Kezang's eyes also oozed crystal tears, and before he could touch the tears, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and a Zhu Jin's guard reported softly: "Shisun, the king is awake." ”

Chen Xianqiao restrained Qi Rong, and at the same time took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Zheng Kezang, and then stood up with a big belly: "The concubine will go back first, and Qinshe will accompany her father at night." ”

Seeing his wife's departure, Zheng Kezhang forced a smile and walked towards Zhu Jin's residence

"It's beautiful!" Looking at the lights under the city of Anping like the vast stars, Zhu Jin, who was carried up to the city wall to watch the lanterns lying on the chariot, sighed in surprise, Zheng Kezhang willingly handed over a monocular, through the lens, the Chengtianfu on the other side of the Taijiang Inland Sea and Wannian and Tianxing appeared vaguely in Zhu Jin's cloudy line of sight, the wind blew the lamps and swayed, like starlight, and the beautiful scenery symbolized that an era was about to end. "Let Lone look at the mainland." The guards looked at Zheng Kezang, Zheng Kezhang carefully covered Zhu Jin with an imported wool blanket, and then nodded slightly, and the guards carried Zhu Jin along the Anping City Wall all the way west to the end. "The rise and fall of the king is in a dream." Zhu Jin stretched out his withered hand, as if to touch the end of the sea at night. "My father was not wrong back then, he is not worthy of being the lord of Dongning! Lonely to the people of Dongning, lonely also to bear He Niang, Zhao Niang. ”

After saying this, Zhu Jin's hand fell weakly, Zheng Kezhang was shocked, rushed over to take a look, only to see Zhu Jin's face colorless, angry like a gossamer, Zheng Kezang, who did not dare to slack off, commanded loudly: "Pass the imperial doctor, go back, carry the king back"

From this day on, Zhu Jin fell into a state of dying, and in the next nineteen days, Zhu Jin's condition came and went, and several times the imperial doctor judged that he couldn't survive the night, but Zhu Jin survived one by one. Staying up, on the 28th day of the first month, having lunch, Zhu Jin suddenly came to his senses, he knew that he was back to light, and immediately ordered to gather the ministers.

Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan and more than 20 other senior military and political officials gathered in front of Zhu Jin's sickbed, drank half a mouthful of ginseng soup, and Zhu Jin, who seemed to be in good spirits, pointed to Zheng Kezang, who was kneeling there, and explained: "Take the sword and seal of the orphan and give it to the grandson." ”

With tears in his eyes, the chamberlain took the things that Zhu Jin had explained and handed them to Zheng Kezang, who was also crying.

"Wu'er." Zhu Jin looked at Zheng Kezhang with a smile. "Don't cry, Lone is accompanied by a wife and son in this life, and he is in power, he can be said to be full of ambition and live up to this life, but he failed to complete the great cause of his father to drive out the Tartars and restore the Han family, it is a pity, but this responsibility will never have to be borne in the future, it all depends on my son." Zheng Kezhang held Zhu Jin's sword seal and kept kowtowing, and Zhu Jin turned to look at Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan, who were at the forefront of the ministers. "Fufu, sightseeing, this son is talented, quite promising, you wait for a good student to supplement! When I die, Jiuquan is also blind. ”

The two of them also fell to their knees all of a sudden, tears gushed out from their eyes, not only that, but there was an irrepressible crying both indoors and outdoors, Li Shunniang behind Zheng Kezhang hugged Zheng Keju and cried, and the twelve-year-old Zheng Keshuang lay behind Zheng Kezang and was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Go to Hugh, go to Hugh!" Zhu Jin's face suddenly showed a happy look. "Zhao Niang, you're here to pick up the orphan, okay, okay." After saying two good words, Zhu Jin suddenly withered, Zheng Kezhang pounced on Zhu Jin, and heard him say the last two words. "It's Beautiful"

The suppressed cry instantly spread out of the house, and soon spread throughout Anping, and quickly spread throughout Taiwan. The 35th year of the Yongli of the Ming Dynasty, the 20th year of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, 1681 after the birth of the Lord, Xinyou, on the 28th day of the first month, at noon, Zhu Jinxue, the lord of Dongning and the general of the Ming Dynasty, passed away at the age of 40

Howling for a while, Chen Yonghua first woke up from his grief, he looked at Zheng Kezang, who was still holding Zhu Jin and crying silently, and gently touched Liu Guoxuan on the side with his hand, Liu Guoxuan was startled, raised his head, but saw Chen Yonghua trying hard at Zheng Kezang, Liu Guoxuan naturally understood what was going on, and nodded after a little thought.

So Chen Yonghua straightened up: "The king has passed away, but Dongning cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the grandson of the superintendent country is the bell of the first king, and he will succeed the king at the moment, and the first king will bequeath." ”

Chen Yonghua, who has been ill for a long time, is actually not very loud, and it is not too clear in the noisy cries, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the attention of the Ming and Zheng ministers in the room instantly focused, except for Zheng Keshuang and Zheng Keju's mother and son, no one wanted to miss the first-class credit for this support.

If Chen Yonghua's voice is not loud enough, then Liu Guoxuan's voice can only be described as full of neutrality: "What Lord Chen said is very true, the first king unfortunately collapsed in the middle way, but the royal industry of this domain still needs to be inherited, and the minister, Wu Pingbo Liu Guoxuan, on the orders of the first king, respectfully asks the grandson to inherit the throne of the domain lord immediately." ”

With Liu Guoxuan's voice, all the ministers responded in unison: "The ministers respectfully ask the grandson to inherit the throne of the feudal lord." ”

Zheng Kezhang stood up weakly: "The kindness of all the adults has been received, but the remaining years are only eighteen, how can they undertake this great cause of Dongning, Gu does not dare to take the order lightly, and I hope that all the adults will choose another virtuous person, so as not to have no one in the cause of this domain, and it will be difficult to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future." ”

The so-called push can not be successful at a push, since ancient times, it is necessary to go through several pretended excuses to finally succeed, so the ministers' attitude towards Zheng Kezhang is not strange, but therefore to make a more respectful attitude, so Chen Yonghua once again said: "The grandson of the virtuous and virtuous Dongning is well known, and now the Qing Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, if Dongning has no owner of civil strife, will not let the Tartars happy, but also hope that the grandson of Dongning and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty as the thought, immediately inherit the throne of the first king." ”

Liu Guoxuan and the ministers followed and bowed down: "Please take Dongning and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty as your thoughts, and immediately inherit the throne of the first king." ”

Zheng Kezang's sad voice did not change: "My father just abandoned Yu, and now the bones are not cold, Yu really can't bear to let go at this moment." ”

Liu Guoxuan said again: "The filial piety of the son of man is important, but now that the Qing Dynasty is powerful and the country is in danger, when loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, I hope that the descendants will curb their sorrow a little and be loyal to the people of Dongning." ”

Chen Yonghua led the ministers to bow three times and said: "Please also ask the grandson to curb his sorrow a little, put the country first, and then ascend to the position of the lord of the domain." ”

It stands to reason that Zheng Kezhang should take advantage of the situation to accept the recommendation of the ministers, however, he seems to have a resolute attitude: "People are not born with plants and trees, but they are raised by their parents, if they can't be born and can't be filial piety, they can't be married after death, so why bother talking about loyalty to the country, you don't have to persuade you anymore, Yu has made up his mind, he should be filial piety for his father for three years, you still choose another good man, and you must not miss hundreds of thousands of Dongning people because of one person." ”

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do, of course, Feng Xifan was a little happy, but he didn't dare to come out, and when he was in a stalemate, Chen Yonghua coughed a few times: "The grandson is pure filial piety, the minister should not have persuaded him again, but the king ordered the grandson to take over Dongning, and the grandson must not accept it." ”

The eyes of the ministers lit up, Chen Yonghua's shield of attacking himself with his own spear was just right, so if Zheng Kezhang refused again, it would be unfilial, sure enough, Zheng Kezang frowned when he heard it, and sighed after a long time: "The adults are working hard to force each other, so that the son can not express his sorrow, how is this good." ”

"The grandson can keep the spirit for twenty-seven days as a period of decay." Chen Yonghua said so, and seeing Zheng Kezang's hesitant face, he hurriedly added. "If the grandson does not want to succeed to the throne immediately, he may continue to govern in the name of the grandson of the superintendent for twenty-seven months, and it is not too late to officially succeed to the throne after the expiration of the period of beheading."

"That's all there is to it." Zheng Kezhang finally nodded and agreed, but he had one condition. "Even if the decay period expires, Yu will not be called the king." As long as Zheng Kezhang agrees to inherit the throne of the feudal lord, the ministers will complete the process of support, so there is no objection to Zheng Kezang's decision not to be the king for the time being, anyway, this is also a formality, even if Zheng Kezhang calls himself a common man from now on, but who can let Dongning change the master. "The book system is not a metaphor but an order, if all the adults can agree, Yu will be reluctant to be an unfilial son."

This is basically nonsense, so as soon as his voice landed, all the ministers knelt down in unison: "The ministers see the grandson of the prison country, the grandson Chitose, Chitose!" ”

Zheng Kezhang looked down at Zheng Keshuang and Zheng Keju's mother and son, Li Shunniang obediently hugged her son and saluted, but Zheng Keshuang didn't know the direction, and only after a long time did he whisper with everyone to shout, Zheng Kezhang nodded slowly, it will be his own time in the future
