The death knell of the royal temple does not stop all day long, and the solemn and solemn bell rings for ten miles.

Marriage is not allowed in the whole country, and red is not allowed.

In just one night, the bright colors of the city disappeared and were replaced by white sails, and the Royal Guards roamed all day with spears made of fine iron, and all the colors in the palace seemed to have withered overnight, and everyone was terrified.

The next day, the emperor's body has been transported back to the Taiji Hall in a soft sedan chair by the palace people around him, to be sorted out, after the edict is read, the body will be transported to the royal temple to park, and the monks of the whole temple need to chant together until 9981 days before they can be buried in the imperial tomb.

At the end of the hour, the Taihe Palace.

Emperor Yonglu had 12 sons and 14 daughters during his lifetime, and only 7 princes and 12 princesses survived.

The oldest is the second prince Nan Jingzhao, who is already in his early forties, and the youngest prince is only four and a half years old. At this time, the old emperor was nearly ninety years old, his face was wrinkled like the bark of a tree, and he stood high in the hall, holding a scroll of Ming Huang Holy Decree tremblingly with his hands.

His only energetic eyes swept lightly over the people of His Royal Highness, and Yun said lightly: "The secretary takes the order!" ”

In an instant, the hulala's robe rubbed against the sound, the forehead touched the ground, and everyone shouted in unison, "The minister accepts the order!" ”

"The retainers take the order!"

Every prince stared at the edict with complicated eyes, and the words on it determined who would ascend to the supreme throne from now on.

Emperor Yonglu was confused all his life, and when he was about to die, he finally made a wise decision.

Before his death, he did not reveal the slightest decision about who the new emperor would be after his death, and the holy decree was also just drafted, escorted by the secret guard, and handed over to the emperor.

The old emperor is highly respected, famous in the government and the opposition, and his family style is incorruptible for several generations, and he is deeply loved by the people. Such a person, even after the death of Emperor Yonglu, is not worried that the prince will conspire with him and tamper with the edict.

In fact, from the moment the old emperor walked out with the edict in his hand, Nan Jingyu's fingertips pinched into the flesh fiercely, and his lowered eyes were full of cruelty, he knew that the name above would definitely not be him.

It's not that he didn't try to curry favor with the emperor, and wanted to get some news from him, but he was beaten out with indignation.

You are the emperor's teacher, and if the emperor is mediocre, he will be impeached, let alone say that he is a prince who is idle and wild cranes on his face!

The result can be imagined, he tried assassination, but Emperor Yonglu seems to have expected it, and sent an unknown number of secret guards to protect him, and after several failures, he could only give up with resentment.

Everyone's expressions were all under the eyes of the old emperor, he snorted coldly, shook the edict, and began to recite.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

The emperor has never ruled the world, and he has never failed to respect the heavens and the ancestors. Respecting the heavens and the ancestors is really soft and far-reaching, recuperating and recuperating, and the benefits of the four seas are beneficial...... I am sixty years old, and I have reigned for twenty-nine years, and although I have passed away, I am also very happy...... Xuan Ge, the ninth son of the emperor, has a valuable character, and he will be able to overcome the unification. With the ascension to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne ......"

As soon as the words fell, no matter whether everyone had expected it in their hearts or were surprised, they had to kowtow again and shout "Long live the emperor!" ”
