On the night of May 10, 21st year of Fan Changzhi

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, this is a good thing, everyone nearby is happy, but in the imperial palace, there is silence and panic.

The 50-year-old emperor's illness worsened, and the cabinet had already issued a critical illness notice with "a major illness", and at this time, the cabinet members, along with the various ministries, were able to enter a side room in the palace to serve

As for the queen, concubines, eunuchs and palace maids were all waiting outside the door, all expressionless, especially the eunuchs and palace maids, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily, and there were already three eunuchs, who were killed because of a slight mistake

Qin Haozhong, the prime minister of the cabinet, sat in the side hall of the outer room, and in the inner hall not far away, was the sick body of the current emperor, his face was yellow, and his eyes were full of tears.

Emperor Changzhi, in terms of talent, is actually not a mediocre person, but after ascending the throne, he faced a crisis of internal and external troubles.

Floods, droughts, locusts, and disasters continued year after year, all kinds of sects, all kinds of bandits emerged in endlessly, and they rose one after another, and after four years of long rule, Chen Yonggui rebelled, and rolled up millions of soldiers, and the world shook for a while

It is the emperor who governs for a long time, and consults with the cabinet day by day to eliminate malpractices and seek cure. Ren Xian went to the evil in an attempt to revive the discipline.

After eight years of war, the rebellion was finally crushed, and the emperor was overjoyed at that time, visited his ancestors, and was in high spirits for a while

However, in the future, it was more difficult to govern than to quell the chaos, the world was chaotic, the officials ruled the **, and the aristocratic power continued to expand, gradually oppressing the imperial court and breathing.

Emperor Changzhi wanted to do something. A series of measures have also been taken. He became emperor. These twenty years. There is not a single day that is not diligent. Everything must be done by hand. The minister saw it all in his eyes.

And the emperor was known for his frugality. Court expenditures fell and fell. It's a pity that it still can't undo the world's major events

Thinking of the emperor who promoted himself back then. From the Ministry of Rites to the Cabinet. Again to the Prime Minister. These twenty years. The emperor trusted him. And he lived up to expectations. Swept up the uprising. It's just that it still can't turn the tide. Things are falling apart more and more in the world, and I can't do it. Qin Haozhong felt sad in his heart

Emperor Changzhi went. Who can hold the artifact? What about stability?

The prince is gone. The king of Xingtai was deposed. Imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. Originally, the grandson was only three years old. Come and think about it. Such a critical situation. Among the emperor's descendants. Only the king of Changtu County, Narita Prefecture, can still be used

But. This son is just a diligent student. I haven't heard of any big moves. The investigation of the Imperial Interior Office is clear

Can such a fourteen-year-old boy really afford the current country?

From the bottom of his heart, Qin Haozhong is actually inclined to the king of Xingtai County, after all, the king of Xingtai County is twenty-one years old, and he has always been clear, but he actually murdered the prince - this is really too young and impulsive, in fact, the emperor has already considered making him the prince, and now he has lost all his efforts

Thinking of this, Qin Hao felt a pain in his center - this is the number of qi!

But the emperor's kindness and promotion are difficult to repay! If something happens to the emperor, he will fight for his life, and he will let the emperor's final will be carried out

But the rest of the cabinet may not think so—where is Taisun now?

If the emperor dies and he doesn't go to Kyoto for a long time, then things will be complicated and difficult to control

Thoughts rolled, and the room was as silent as death.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of human voices, and almost at the same time, a bolt of lightning slashed down, illuminating the entire space

"Could it be that the emperor died?" Qin Haozhong stood up violently, pushed the door and looked, and shouted: "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the Prime Minister, it's the grandson who is here!"

"Ahh The five cabinet ministers were taken aback, and their faces were cloudy under the candles, and Qin Haozhong said, "Come on, please invite the grandson in." ”

After a while, a group of samurai broke straight in, causing one of the cabinets, Wei Xilin, to change color slightly, and said, "What's the matter, where did these samurai come from?" ”

"Lord Hui, it was brought by the grandson, and there are guards of the forbidden army inside."

At this time, a person came in in the embrace, but it was a teenager, although the whole body was **, his face was frozen and blue, but he pursed his mouth, showing a little fortitude, and when he got inside, the two eunuchs stood up first: "Ladies and gentlemen, the grandson has arrived!" ”

As soon as Qin Haozhong saw it, he knew that it was indeed the leader of the eunuchs sent at the beginning, so he knelt down immediately: "Minister Qin Haozhong, meet the grandson!" ”

He is the prime minister, and this bow, everyone else hesitated and bowed down.

Fang Xin returned the salute and said: "All the gentlemen worked hard, and they entered the palace in Beijing overnight at the behest of the emperor's grandfather, and gave permission to give horses to enter the palace quickly, I don't know what happened to the emperor's grandfather?" ”

Qin Haozhong nodded and said, "Taisun, you change your clothes quickly, you can't see the emperor like this." ”

"My lord, Taisun is already ready." The eunuch Feng Feng said, took out several layers of oilcloth wrapped clothes, and untied them layer by layer, inside was the crown dress of the grandson, and there were seven jade crowns of the East Pearl Land, although there was some moisture, it was indeed not wet

Fang Xin also entered, slightly blocked by a screen, took off his clothes on the spot, his underwear was sloppy, and his outer clothes were changed into a clean crown dress of the grandson, wearing seven eastern pearls on his head

At this time, the deacons and eunuchs of the inner palace hurriedly came to announce the decree: "Holy Xuan Taisun, the cabinet lords are urgently promoted!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered, and as soon as they entered the hall, Qin Haozhong knew that it was not good, because at this time, Changzhi

Ran can be half-sitting, lying on the couch, his face ruddy - this is obviously

The queen and the concubine sat on the edge of the bed, neither moving.

When the group entered, they knelt down, and Emperor Changzhi's eyes lit up and said, "Taisun is finally here, I can't wait, you come over quickly." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand tremblingly, Fang Xin hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Emperor Changzhi's hand, and Emperor Changzhi clenched his hand: "It's really like...... I...... I've given you the world......"

Speaking of this, his tone was already choked, and he slowed down a little, and then said to the people present: "I passed on the throne to the grandson, you know!" ”

The emperor said it himself, and the cabinet ministers had to nod.

Emperor Changzhi said again: "The grandson also has fifteen, and he can already be pro-government, so there is no need to set up a minister to take care of his life, you have to assist him!" ”

Qin Haozhong burst into tears: "The ministers are ordered, the grandson is on the throne, no one dares to disobey, the ancestral law is still there, the ministers will do their best to assist loyally, I hope the emperor will not worry about the future......"

Emperor Changzhi nodded, and signaled, so he drafted the edict on the spot, and asked the queen to cover the jade seal on the spot, and recited the edict again, and after the edict was read, Emperor Changzhi held the hand of the grandson, and finally hung down.

The queen stepped forward, touched it, and immediately choked up

Then there was a great cry of mourning in the temple.

At this time, Qin Haozhong's loyalty and authority were revealed, and he said sharply: "The emperor has died, and the world cannot be without a king for a day, and this is the critical moment for the safety of the society." The first priority is to obey the last order of the first emperor, and in the early hours of the morning, in the main hall, let the grandson ascend to the new monarch, a little late, I am afraid that there will be a disaster! ”

This is in line with the etiquette, no one has anything to say, and the queen immediately ordered to go down, and the inner palace was dressed in white linen

The body of the emperor was transported to the main hall, and this was the enthronement before the spirit

This was hectic, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear, and it was originally the time to go to the earth

As soon as the ministers entered the imperial city, they felt that the atmosphere was not right, and there were rows of armored soldiers, all armed with knives

Waiting for those who are qualified, as soon as they enter the inner hall and see the emperor's spiritual bed, they immediately understand, and immediately cry, Qin Haozhong was furious, and said: "Quiet, whoever dares to make noise again will be punished for the crime of resisting the lawlessness!" ”

Immediately, everyone was silent, and when the personnel arrived, in full view of everyone, Fang Xin came out wearing the crown of Taisun Di

The queen was also present

Waiting for the queen to open the jade box, take it out, and give the holy decree to the eunuch Xuanzhi, the eunuch took the queen's edict, and said: "The emperor's edict!" ”

"Hooray!" None of the people present had a chance to resist and collude, and they knelt down one by one, even the queen

The eunuch read: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict: the grandson Li Weiyuan Longri is a celestial watch, and the materials are valuable, and he can be a king."

That is, Li Weiyuan inherited the throne by Li Weiyuan, succeeded to the orthodoxy of Dafan, and ascended the throne on the same day - Qin this! ”

Qin Haozhong went up first, leaned over and kowtowed, saying, "The minister respectfully obeys the orders of the first emperor!" ”

At this time, the others had no choice but to bow down and kowtow together, saying: "The ministers obey the orders of the first emperor!" ”

"A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day. Before the first emperor entered Zifeng'an, he invited his grandson Li Weiyuan to ascend the throne and preside over the government. After that, he personally stepped forward and helped the crying grandson Li Weiyuan.

Fang Xin sat on the emperor's throne, and he could see below, everyone knelt down, and the mountain shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When this sound came out, the officials who were not of enough grade outside also shouted long live

"Zhu Qing is flat!" Fang Xin said flatly.

"Shane!"

With this bow and thanks, Fang Xin's emperor position will be confirmed, and it will be difficult to shake it directly in the future

"Your Majesty, Emperor Daxing has twenty years in the imperial universe, quelling chaos, dealing with politics clearly, loving the people diligently, working hard all night, the minister thinks that he should abide by the family law of the ancestors, seal the temple number, and serve the dragon's nest, which is the most important thing at this time!" Qin Haozhong came out first and said to the emperor.

"What Mr. said is very true, today in the court, the temple number of the Daxing Emperor must be determined first. The name of my year must also be set, and then it will be announced to the world, and as for the funeral affairs, it is not too late to discuss it later! Fang Xin said without hesitation.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in their hearts, and determined the name of the first emperor and the temple number, and determined the name of the current emperor, which is actually the same thing, that is, the official succession to the Yuan and the change of the Yuan, which is the last step to determine the legitimacy of the enthronement.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Many ministers immediately responded

The name of Da Fan has always been simple, as for the temple number, it has been combined, and after some discussion, it was determined to be "Zhao", that is to say, Emperor Changzhi is Zhaozong, which is also a better evaluation

And Fang Xin was even simpler, he didn't say a word at first, waiting for the name to be confirmed, and then said: "I will inherit the will of the first emperor, carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, and I will set the successor!" ”

The number has been decided, and the new monarch's year name has been changed, and it is a new world

Fang Xin nodded heavily, and said, "In this way, I will immediately draft the decree and announce it to the world!" ”

In an instant, everyone bowed their heads and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

At this time, the Changzhi Dynasty went, following the Yuan Dynasty, and the history turned a new page (to be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in to qidiancom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
