Chapter 1158: Funeral

"Speaking of which, I still can't avoid the ...... surnamed Wang," Jin Youzi let out a long sigh full of frustration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Indeed." Yang Rong smiled bitterly and said, "So I have to find another way to invite him back from Jinan." ”

"It's hard." Jin Youzi shook his head and said, "I think he is a king who eats scales, and he won't come if he is iron-hearted." ”

"No, he just wants a good price!" Yang Shiqi sneered: "If he is really determined not to come back, why should he let people keep an eye on the situation in the capital?" It's just that I want to get the maximum benefit at the right time. ”

"What time? What is the benefit? Jin Youzi asked in a deep voice.

"The moment we are about to finish, he will appear as a savior," Yang Shiqi said coldly: "When the time comes, he will naturally take what he wants." ”

"The moment we're going to be finished?" Jin Youzi gasped, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that without his king butcher, he can't eat a pig with hair!" Let him wait! ”

"......" Yang Rong's lips twitched, but he didn't speak.

British Mansion.

In the name of New Year's greetings, the nobles gathered at Zhang Fu's house. Contrary to the gloom and gloom of Jin Youzi and others, the faces of the nobles were all excited. They were also immersed in the excitement brought by Zhang Fu yesterday.

"Grandpa, you really don't make a splash, it's a blockbuster!"

"Haha, that's it, as soon as the grandfather is powerful, the emperor can only shrink his head!"

"Now they dare to come nonsense!"

Zhang Fu didn't have half a point on his face, and said calmly: "My father is also forced to do so, if it weren't for the emperor's perverse behavior to such a point, I would never have said that kind of thing." ”

"That's it, the emperor is too much! Fortunately, there is a grandfather here, otherwise we would have no way at all. The nobles were still talking, and the British Duke frowned.

Seeing this, Zhang Hui cleared his throat and said loudly: "Don't be too happy, the emperor hasn't agreed to anything." We've got to keep up the good work! ”

"Not bad." Zhang Fu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Since we have taken this step, we have no way back, we can't let the emperor give in, and we will all suffer." ”

"What Grandpa and Master Hou said is that we have already been released!" The nobles shouted indignantly: "I would rather die standing than live on my knees!" ”

"Grandpa, speak, what should we do? Go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, you will never frown! ”

"Okay, the military heart is available!" Zhang Fu's eyes swept over the nobles, and said in a deep voice: "My father will plan a big event in the near future, and you can fully cooperate with this father when the time comes!" ”

"I'm going to die!" The nobles responded with a bang.

When the nobles dispersed, only Zhang Fu and Zhang Hui were left in the hall. Zhang Fu changed his confident appearance in front of people, and said with a worried expression: "Have you seen with your own eyes the edict in the hands of the grandson?" ”

"Taisun does have an edict, but he was very careful and only showed me a look in his hand." Zhang Hui recalled the scene of that day and said slowly: "But I can still conclude that the edict is indeed true, and it is clearly written, passing on the throne to the grandson instead of the prince." Saying that, he glanced at his brother strangely and said, "Didn't the eldest brother ask once?" ”

"I'm puzzled, since the grandson has the edict in hand, why didn't he take it out earlier?" Zhang Fu's brows furrowed into the word 'Sichuan'.

"I also asked His Highness, and his statement was that he was thinking that if he surpassed his father to ascend the throne, how would the crown prince deal with himself? Even if he becomes the emperor, he will be accused of unfilial piety. Zhang Hui replied: "So he didn't take it out early in the morning, but now he sees that the crown prince completely denied the first emperor as soon as he ascended the throne, and wants to completely destroy the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, so he deeply regrets it and wants to correct his mistakes." ”

"This statement can be explained." Zhang Fu tapped his finger on the table and muttered, "But in your opinion, is His Royal Highness the Taisun such a loyal, filial and pure person?" ”

"To be honest, it's not like ......" Zhang Hui scratched his head and told the truth. He looked at his brother and asked, "In the opinion of the eldest brother, what kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?" ”

"I can't figure it out." Zhang Fu shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, it's useless to think about it now." ”

"Yes, we were forced to the edge of the cliff by the emperor, even if we don't have this edict, we have to do it!" Zhang Hui nodded and said hatefully.

"Well, you have to deal with that matter carefully, and you must not make a mistake." Zhang Fu nodded and instructed his brother.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll be careful." Zhang Hui was full of words.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the first month, and this day was the day when the coffin of Emperor Daxing was moved out of the palace and went to Changling to settle down.

Changling was the auspicious land chosen by the Yongle Emperor for himself during his lifetime, and after the death of Empress Xu in the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Di asked people to go to Beijing instead of choosing a mausoleum site in Nanjing. Obviously, from the very beginning, Zhu Di made up his mind to move the capital to Beijing and not to see his father after his death.

Later, the feng shui master selected a feng shui treasure in Changping, it is said that there are dragons and tigers in front of the mountain, and the northwest is facing the heavenly gate, which is the best dragon vein in the country. In the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di began to build his own Changling in Changping Wanshou Mountain. Since ancient times, building a mausoleum for the emperor has been the most laborious and costly, and with the character of Emperor Yongle, it is naturally even more so. The Changling project is vast and the materials used are strict, which are only seen in the past dynasties. The manpower and material resources of the whole country were mobilized, and until Zhu Di died, only the part of the underground palace was completed, and the above-ground buildings still needed several years to be completed.

However, after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he strictly economize and cut the state use, and the Changling project, which cost a lot of money and lasted for a long time, naturally bore the brunt, the cost was cut to the extreme, and the craftsmen were dismissed in large numbers, and the remaining project was hastily completed in only half a year, and then the coffin of the Yongle Emperor was sent to be buried.

Naturally, this has become one of the unforgivable sins of the emperor in the eyes of the nobles.

Early in the morning of the 18th, the emperor dressed in plain clothes and went to the mourning hall of the emperor of Daxing to start the mourning ceremony. After the mourning, the eunuch withdrew a few feasts, and in the sound of mourning, the emperor watched the Daxing Emperor's Zigong leave the mourning hall and placed it firmly on the 'big bar' carried by one hundred and twenty-eight brocade guards.

Then, the emperor and the princes went to the gate of Xiyuan, led the ministers, civil and military officials to kneel and wait for the coffin of the emperor of Daxing, and slowly came to the Xiyuan gate under the guidance of the full guard of honor.

The emperor and his ministers wept loudly and watched the coffin go out of the palace gate. Then the emperor boarded the black cloth sedan chair, and the prince and the ministers of the ministers held paper money in their hands and followed the coffin on foot, crying and scattering paper money.

The funeral procession went out of the imperial city, both sides of the street had already been martial law by the forbidden army, outside the human wall built by the soldiers of the forbidden army, it was the incense case of the long dragon, the people of the capital wore linen and filial piety, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and sent the funeral for the emperor of Daxing.

Looking at the white flags on the street in front of him, and listening to the earth-shattering cry in his ears, the emperor's face in the black cloth sedan chair was very ugly.

Several scholars who followed closely behind the sedan chair spoke in a solemn whisper while scattering paper money.

"I didn't expect that so many people would come to send the first emperor." Huang Huai exclaimed.

"People die greatly, not to mention that the first emperor has always had a very high status in the hearts of the people of Beijing, otherwise he would not have moved the capital to Beijing." Yang Pu said in a low voice.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Jin Youzi sneered. Seeing this, Huang Huai said unhappily: "What, isn't it right?" ”

"You guys are too naΓ―ve," Jin Youzi said coldly: "Today's out, without those nobles secretly instigating, my 'gold' is written upside down." ”

"You mean, the nobles incited the people to go to the streets for funerals?" Huang Huai ignored Jin Youzi's sarcasm and looked at him in shock.

"Of course." Jin Youzi cut the railway.

"What do they want to do?" Yang Pu frowned and said, "This is useless except for disgusting the emperor." ”

"This ......" The question Bachelor Jin couldn't answer, so he could only look at Yang Shiqi for help.

"There's no more news yet." Yang Shiqi shook his head, the emperor's abolition of the Dongchang Jinyi Guard certainly made the civil officials happy, but they also became deaf and blind, and it was difficult to understand the actions of the nobles, and they were very passive.

Yang Rong looked back at the nobles who were closely following Zhu Zhanji, and sighed worriedly: "I have an ominous premonition, these guys are afraid that they will make trouble today......

"Well, let's wait and see." Several scholars sighed helplessly, this sense of powerlessness was too frustrating.

The funeral procession went out of the capital smoothly, and the people who sent the funeral gradually became scarce, and the nobles did not make trouble as Yang Rong feared, which made the emperor and scholars breathe a sigh of relief.

The capital is seventy miles away from Changling, and the fast horse can run back and forth in a day, but carrying the heavy Zigong, the funeral procession is not so fast, and it takes two days to reach Wanshou Mountain.

That night, the team spent the night in the palace on the way, and the emperor and the scholars raised their hearts to their throats again, until Liu Sheng reported that the three major battalions he led had defended the palace as impregnable. There are also Mo Wen and others who led 20,000 soldiers and horses to entrench outside the palace in case of contingencies. Only then did Zhu Gaochi and his scholars remember that they hadn't eaten for a day, and their stomachs were grumbling with hunger!

After a simple dinner, the emperor went to bed, the scholars withdrew from the dormitory, looking at the elite armor soldiers outside the palace, they couldn't help but feel a sense of security, and secretly had the protection of these troops, and those nobles did not dare to make a mistake, unless they really wanted to rebel.

It's a pity that Liu Sheng or Mo asked, they are all Wang Xian's people, and this sense of security will be greatly reduced.

"It is still necessary to take the army into our own hands as soon as possible, so that we can be sure-footed." Jin Youzi said in a deep voice.

"Everything will wait until the coffin is buried, and after the coffin is buried, the condition will be much better." Yang Shiqi sighed, Zhu Di will not be buried for a day, and his aura will be shrouded in everyone's hearts for a day. Only when the emperor is completely buried will everything be very different.

"Those nobles are unexpectedly honest, maybe we think too much." Jin Youzi smiled optimistically.

"I hope it......" Yang Rong sighed: "There is still one day tomorrow, and only after the peace has passed can we breathe a sigh of relief." ”
