Li Yuntian looked at the chamberlain in some surprise, and didn't react for a while, if he didn't guess wrong, Emperor Yongle should have died, otherwise how could Meng Wanchun be blocked out of the imperial tent?

"Li Yushi, the emperor uploads you. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? Meng Wanchun saw that Li Yuntian was a little distracted, so he opened his mouth to remind him, secretly envious of Li Yuntian in his heart for having such a grace and being able to participate in military affairs.

Li Yuntian came back to his senses, sneered at Meng Wanchun, and hurriedly followed the chamberlain away.

Several attendants stood at the door of the imperial tent with expressionless faces, and when they saw Li Yuntian coming, they stretched out their hands and lifted the curtain of the tent.

After entering the tent, Li Yuntian saw that the three people were gathering together and discussing something in a low voice, he knew these three people, Ma Yun, the emperor's personal attendant, Yang Rong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Jin Youzi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

**On the couch, Emperor Yongle lay there quietly, as if he was asleep, because he was through the curtain, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian suddenly had a complex emotion in his heart, his knees bent and knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and gave a big gift to Emperor Yongle, who would have thought that Emperor Yongle would die just a matter of **, and he had been very happy with Emperor Yongle during this time.

Yang Rong and the three looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, no one thought that Li Yuntian would guess that Emperor Yongle had died, and when Ma Yun came to serve this morning, he found that Emperor Yongle was already in his sleep.

At this time, Ma Yun made an important decision, that is, to inform Yang Rong and Jin Youzi to discuss the future affairs of Emperor Yongle and hide it from others.

"Li Yushi, do you know why you came here?" Yang Rong pondered for a moment, and looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression, Li Yuntian saw at a glance that Emperor Yongle had died, and he was obviously a very smart person.

"Please make it clear." Li Yuntian raised his head, his eyes were red, and he asked with sadness.

"The emperor left an edict before his trip, and if anything happens, he ordered you to return to Beijing to pass on the edict to the prince." Yang Rong didn't answer him, but looked at Ma Yun on the side, and Ma Yun said quietly.

"The minister must live up to the emperor's order, even if he goes to the soup and fire, he will send the will to the prince." Li Yuntian kowtowed to Emperor Yongle again, and said with a resolute expression.

"Li Yushi, this matter is very important, and it must not be leaked out." Jin Youzi was a little uneasy, and told Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

He and Yang Rong didn't quite understand why Emperor Yongle chose Li Yuntian to return to Beijing to pass the edict, although Li Yuntian was born in Jinshi, but he was the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and the Marquis of Zhongyong was an out-and-out noble, in case he had a different heart, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lord Jin rest assured, the lower officials know the seriousness of this matter, and they will definitely not reveal half a sentence to the outside world." Li Yuntian knew that Jin Youzi couldn't trust him, so he arched his hand at him and said in a deep voice.

"Li Yushi, the old man asked Shiqi before he left Beijing, and he said that you are old and serious, but you can take on a big responsibility, and this time the matter will be entrusted to you." Yang Rong bowed down and solemnly arched his hand to Li Yuntian, the Shiqi in his mouth was naturally Yang Shiqi.

To tell the truth, because Emperor Yongle died too suddenly, Yang Rong did not have a suitable candidate to return to Beijing to pass the edict, God knows how many eyes and ears the King of Han and King Zhao planted in the army of the Northern Expedition, once the mistake is made, the capital will set off a bloody storm.

What is particularly important is that from the Yumuchuan to the capital, it is necessary to pass through Shanxi and Hebei, Shanxi has 9 guards and 9 thousand households, and Hebei has 23 guards and 8 thousand households, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the Houjun Governor's Office, and the left and right governors of the Houjun Governor's Mansion have always had close contacts with the Han Dynasty.

Now is an extraordinary time, everyone knows that Emperor Yongle is not in good health, and King Han and King Zhao must be watching every move of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Therefore, the person who passed the edict would definitely be strictly inspected by the guards along the way, so he must not only be loyal to Emperor Yongle, but also be wise and brave.

Unexpectedly, this thorny problem has been solved by Emperor Yongle, who has already made arrangements for this matter before the big trip, and left an edict for Ma Yun, selecting Li Yuntian to return to the capital to pass on the edict to the prince and let the prince ascend the throne.

Before calling Li Yuntian over, Yang Rong, Ma Yun and Jin Youzi had already discussed the matter of Li Yuntian's return to Beijing to pass the edict, Ma Yun must have followed the edict of Emperor Yongle, and Jin Youzi held a negative attitude, thinking that Li Yuntian's relationship with the Marquis of Zhongyong was too close.

In the end, Yang Rong made a decision and decided to trust Li Yuntian, because Emperor Yongle had obviously considered Li Yuntian's identity, and since Yongle had neglected Li Yuntian, then as a subordinate, he should follow Emperor Yongle's edict.

Moreover, Li Yuntian has lived in the local area for a long time, and he has only been in the capital for two or three months, and he has no entanglement with all the forces in the capital, and his low official position is not noticeable in the army of the Northern Expedition, so he can be said to be the best candidate to report the news.

Emperor Yongle naturally could not have predicted the day of his death, and the so-called edict to the prince was to tell the prince the news of Emperor Yongle's death in the form of a holy decree, so that the prince could ascend the throne and inherit the unification.

Of course, this decree could not have been written before the death of Emperor Yongle, and that would be a taboo.

Therefore, this edict to the crown prince was written by Yang Rong, who was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the first assistant of the cabinet, so such an important matter belonged to him.

After the decree was written, Ma Yun stamped the imperial treasure of Emperor Yongle, so that it had legal effect, and the prince could ascend the throne with it.

"Lord Yang, can you remove the scroll?" After finishing the imperial treasure, Li Yuntian said to Yang Rong quietly.

"Why?" Yang Rong looked at him with some puzzlement when he heard this.

"My lord, the road here is bumpy, and the official wants to sew it into his clothes for the sake of safety." Li Yuntian bowed his hand to Yang Rong and said euphemistically.

"It's a good move." Yang Rong nodded, a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes, it seemed that Emperor Yongle really didn't choose the wrong person, Li Yuntian was thoughtful and steady.

At this moment, an attendant who was guarding the outside walked in quickly, leaned in and whispered a few words in Ma Yun's ear, and Ma Yun's brows suddenly frowned slightly.

"What's going on?" Jin Youzi felt that something was happening, and asked in a deep voice.

"The British Duke wanted to see the emperor just now, but was blocked back by the subordinates of the miscellaneous family." Ma Yun said with a frown.

"From today onwards, no one will be allowed to see the emperor on the grounds that the emperor is unwell." Yang Rong's face became stern, he groaned for a while, quickly made a decision, and said to Ma Yun with an expressionless face, "Three meals a day are the same." ”

"Scholars can rest assured, miscellaneous families understand." Ma Yun nodded, according to the usual practice, if the king dies outside, then for the sake of the stability of the capital, there will be no mourning.

Li Yuntian had already heard that Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, and Ma Yun were guarding against the British Gong Zhang Fu.

It stands to reason that Zhang Fu is the closest person to Emperor Yongle in this northern expedition, and Emperor Yongle also recruited Zhang Fu into the imperial tent last night to greet him.

However, Zhang Fu's identity is very special, not only he is the meritorious service of Jingnan, but later because of the meritorious service to Annan and was awarded the title of British Duke, his father Zhang Yu died in the Jingjing martyrdom to save the Yongle Emperor, posthumously named the Duke of Rongguo, and gave him loyalty, so he won the trust of the Yongle Emperor, and therefore had a close relationship with the King of Han.

So now Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, and Ma Yun have to guard against Zhang Fu, if Zhang Fu knows that Emperor Yongle has died, and then passes the news to the King of Han, then the consequences are unimaginable, I am afraid that before the Northern Expedition army returns to Beijing, the capital will already be full of blood.

Whether it is Li Yuntian or Yang Rong, they all know that concealing the death of Emperor Yongle is just an expedient measure, I don't know how many people in the army of the Northern Expedition are staring at Emperor Yongle, once Emperor Yongle suddenly disappears from the ministers, then everyone must have a premonition that Emperor Yongle has an accident, and how many people who can accompany him on the expedition will be fools?

Therefore, the secret mourning can only be delayed for a few days, and the death of Emperor Yongle will be discovered sooner or later, which requires Li Yuntian to return to the capital before the news reaches the ears of King Han and King Zhao, give the holy decree to the prince, and let the prince ascend the throne.

Compared with the crown prince, the Han king's news channels are more well-informed, Shanxi and Hebei have carrier pigeons that specialize in delivering news, as long as Li Yuntian carries the holy decree of the death of the Yongle Emperor, then the prince can not ascend the throne, and the Han king can calmly launch a coup d'état in the capital to replace the prince.

Therefore, in addition to Li Yuntian going to the capital to deliver the holy decree, he also had to find a way to stabilize the king of Han or Zhao, so that the two would not attack the crown prince after learning the news of Emperor Yongle's death.

"Two adults, the minister thinks that he can follow Han Xin, repair the plank road in the open, and secretly cross Chen Cang!" Yang Rong and Jin Youzi discussed for a long time and did not come up with a practical countermeasure, and Li Yuntian, who had been listening to it for a long time, heard what he said, and couldn't help but interject.

"What is the Ming Plank Road and the secret crossing of Chen Cang?" Jin Youzi felt a little surprised, and turned to look at Li Yuntian.

"The lower officials will take the first step, and the two adults can send someone back to Beijing to pass the edict to the prince at that time." Li Yuntian bowed to Yang Rong and Jin Youzi and said in a deep voice.

"One light and one dark, virtual and real." Yang Rong suddenly bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Li Yuntian.

The news of Emperor Yongle's death will not be concealed sooner or later, so it is better to make the matter clear to the accompanying ministers in a few days, and then send people back to Beijing with great fanfare.

In this way, the eyes of those people in the capital will definitely be focused on the second wave of edicts, because the second wave of edicts must carry the holy decree of the death of Emperor Yongle, and then the crown prince will be able to ascend the throne on this basis.

But in other words, the second wave of people can also bring an edict to the capital to let the king of Han or the king of Zhao ascend the throne, after all, the prince is only a prince, not a real emperor, if Emperor Yongle wants to abolish the prince at the last moment, then the prince can only be deposed obediently.

There were twenty-two guards in the capital, although these people were not as good as the Jingwei, but they were loyal to the royal family, and it was difficult for the Han and Zhao kings to win them over, so they could only rely on those Jingwei stationed inside and outside the capital.

And at this critical moment, no one can guarantee what choice those nobles in the capital will make, some nobles who are close to the king of Han will definitely follow the king of Han, and after the king of Han ascends the throne, they will be the heroes of the dragon, and they will definitely receive more preferential treatment in the future.

However, there are still some nobles in the capital who have an affair with King Zhao in private, and want to promote King Zhao to inherit the throne, plus those nobles who are loyal to Emperor Yongle have an unclear attitude.

At that time, the situation in the capital will be completely chaotic, and if it really starts, it will be difficult to say who will die.

But if the second wave of people who entered Beijing brought an edict to let the king of Han or the king of Zhao succeed to the throne, then things would be much simpler, and the king of Han or the king of Zhao would stand in the position of orthodoxy and righteousness, and his ascension to the throne would be justified, and whoever opposed it would be a rebellion.

The reason why Li Yuntian came up with such a move is precisely to target the complex shape of the treacherous in the capital, and now the strength of the crown prince and the king of Han in the capital is comparable, plus the king of Zhao who is eyeing him on the side, if it really starts, no one will be sure of winning.

Therefore, the edict sent to the capital after the death of Emperor Yongle is bound to become the focus of the tripartite power contention, and he can take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the capital, hand over the edict to the prince, and help the prince ascend the throne. One
