Chapter 199: Kings



It was only the news that Emperor Yongdi personally presided over the He Dynasty that relieved everyone, and the next day was followed by bad news - because the illness had not healed, he insisted on going to the court, and Emperor Yongdi aggravated his condition when he returned to the dormitory!

By the dawn of the next day, Emperor Yongdi was already dying!

This news shocked the government and the opposition at once!

Follow, Bo Xi, Liu Rong, Gu Xinian, Shen Zangfeng, Wei Changfeng, and Zhang Luoning were edicted to enter the palace!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is because Emperor Yongdi feels that he can't hold on, and he plans to be lonely.

Sure enough, after these six people entered the palace, they entered the dormitory with the queen and the eldest prince, and did not leave until late at night.

By this time, the concierges were already crowded with visitors, and even the antechamber was full.

When Shen Zangfeng returned to the mansion, he saw Shen Shuming, Shen Shuguang, and Shen Shuxie, all three brothers greeting a group of uninvited guests with tired expressions.

"The royal body has indeed been in trouble for a long time." When Shen Zangfeng saw this formation, he didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "Summoning me and others into the palace is also for the sake of what happened." ”

"That new ......" was blocked back by the vigilant next to him halfway through his words - although the emperor himself felt that he was dying, so he would ask for a lonely person, but he was not dead yet, so he was in a hurry to shout what a new monarch, didn't he look for death first?!

"Your Majesty wishes the Great Prince to be the East Palace." Shen Zangfeng sat down on the main seat, took a sip of the tea handed by his subordinates, and said, "Also, because Your Majesty is ill, in addition to going to court because the royal body has not healed, it is also related to the joy of good news and the reward of the night......

"Is that true?!" Immediately, no one cared about why the emperor was sick - they were all dying anyway - especially those who could still enter the Shen family in the middle of the night, they were all related to the Shen family, and now the Shen family has a sense of glory, and they are not afraid that Shen Zangfeng will take these words to sue, and everyone asked, "I don't know about this reward?!" ”

Shen Zangfeng had always known everything before, but when he came here, he shook his head: "The holy order cannot be revealed, and it will be announced when the army returns to the court." ”

Seeing the disappointment on everyone's faces, he said again: "But if you don't return to the court, you can say first-General Liu has to be crowned King of Changlong!" ”

"Changlong...... That place is very rich! Someone sighed, because all the people who came to Shen's house to inquire about the news were scholars, and most of them were valve reading-the probability of a king with a different surname in the valve reading was not very large, so everyone sighed and ignored it, and continued to ask, "What about the others?" ”

"What about you, Lord Shen?"

"Lord Bo is the Duke of Mingguo; Gu Ziyang is the Marquis of Xinnan; I am the Duke of Yiguo; His wife and brother Changfeng already have a title because of the old lord of Wei, so he and his father-in-law can attack without surrendering, and His Majesty once again mentioned the merits of Uncle Wei, and added the twelve counties around Fengzhou as his private town...... Relying on hypocrisy is Changlingbo. The specific position will be discussed later. ”

How did this news spread in the imperial capital, but only said that it reached the army that was returning to the dynasty in a hurry, and many generals frowned: "The reward for our waiting will be announced after I wait for the return of the dynasty?" ”

"Hey! What's so strange about this? His Majesty's Imperial Body...... The eldest prince is young, this is for fear that we and others will rely on the merits of our seniors and despise the eldest prince! ”

"I'm afraid that everyone's reward will be doubled, and it will be up to the queen mother and the eldest prince to decide which one to read according to our level of deference......"

“…… After returning to the court, be more attentive to the eldest prince, but fortunately, the master is not domineering. ”

Because they were afraid that the title in their hands would fly away or be greatly discounted, even if the army received the bad news of the death of the saint within two days, after the generals entered Beijing, they still respectfully entered the palace to meet the new monarch and the new queen mother for the first time.

Wen Zhiqi, who changed into a crown gown, was still immature between his eyebrows, but when he stood on the throne and looked down, the robe and background also set off a bit of the majesty of the Son of Heaven. He was very satisfied with the unanimous and obedient generals, but he did not immediately read out the edict of the first emperor, but ordered them to go home and reunite with their families first under the pretext of caring for their health, and as for the edict, it will be published at a later date.

"What does this mean?!" Although the generals miss their families very much, they have not been rewarded for this enthusiastic achievement, and their hearts are always uncertain. Especially some people who stayed in the capital, such as Shen Zangfeng, who was clearly feared before, have been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, why do they have to wait, and when will they wait? !

Or Bo Xi and others reminded them that night: "The war in the southwest has stopped, and now that the country is peaceful, what are you still doing with the talismans in your hands?!" ”

The co-author of the young Son of Heaven is worried about the military power!

Suddenly, the generals!

Although they are a little reluctant, but at the moment, this situation of holding each other down and the army is all broken up, and it is difficult for them to unconsciously gather the old army, and they can't do it if they want to.

Sure enough, after the talisman was handed in, Wen Zhiqi immediately gave a clear deadline: "After the burial of Emperor Daxing, I should read out the reward for you." ”

When the generals heard this, they smiled bitterly, which clearly meant that they were going to pinch until the end of their national funeral, and it would be another year at that time - although strictly speaking, there were not many days, but the impression to the generals was that the eldest prince was also cautious and stingy.

Our attitude is very deferential, you want to hand over the talisman, why do you have to delay?

In these years, children are looking forward to the New Year, and you have to postpone the reward until the New Year, which ......

"What if they think you're stingy?" Qiu Baoniang taught Wen Zhiqi in such a serious way in private: "It's not the servant who said you - you used to give them the impression that you were generous, too generous, and they treated you as a bully!" As the saying goes, the slave bully the master, you are now the master of the world, and you must not be deceived by others! So you have to give them a reminder that they are afraid to offend you! ”

The queen - oh no, it's the queen mother, nodded beside her: "What my aunt said is very true, you know that you can listen to it more." ”

Now the Queen Mother has completely forgotten the shadow of killing the monarch to the back of her mind, how beautiful is this kind of free and easy, without having to look at anyone's face, but there are people everywhere to please and welcome her!

As soon as the news of her son's death was announced, the Queen Mother actually looked younger and younger in the past few days......

However, she didn't hate Wen Yanzi either: "The taste of power is like this, blame him for ...... back then." Alas, forget it, don't think about the past. ”

Everyone talked about Xinjun's stinginess behind his back, and sure enough, as Qiu Baoniang expected, because of this, he didn't dare to underestimate Xinjun, how to say that the first emperor had just made a big move, and Yu Wei was still there.

So he served the new monarch with trepidation, and it was easy to bury the Daxing Emperor - there was no basket in the middle, so there was no need to take out the back hand prepared for the person who found out that the situation was wrong, in short, the first emperor was buried like this, and the queen mother and the new monarch both breathed a sigh of relief, and a heart was put in the stomach.

Next, they only need to use the contradictions between the nouveau riche and the scholars to grasp the checks and balances to ensure the stability of the throne - the matter of killing the monarch can be regarded as completely covering up the past!

Soon, with the upstart in one go, he sealed the five kings with different surnames: King Qing, King Hong, King Dai, King Min, and King Dongjiao. The nouveau riche was overjoyed, and their arrogance also rose sharply - of course, they were still worried about the lesson of the reward being delayed again and again, and they didn't dare to be disrespectful to the new king, but in the dispute with the scholars, they were more and more confident!

Among the five kings, King Dongjiao and King Qing are more special, because these two kings are not crowned kings by their own merits, but because their fathers died in battle, and their sons are sealed.

The upstarts felt very sorry for the Zheng family: "If it weren't for the stupidity of the Wang family and being used by the scholars, with the merits of the Zheng brothers and the relationship with the first emperor, the three men may not be able to be crowned a king again...... At that time, our different surnames will be the seven kings, and there will only be six valves in the sea, so why be afraid of the scholars? ”

"We have seven kings with different surnames, and there is one person in the royal family who has been crowned king so far? Convergence. Liu Rong, who was invited to get together to make contact, reminded coldly: "Don't you think that the scholars have been living in seclusion recently? Today is young, you are too flamboyant, I am afraid that I don't like it! ”

I don't know that the emperor's young queen mother is from a low background, and the trusted Aunt Qiu is very deep in the city, so the mother and son are suspicious?

Your current complacent appearance has been passed into the palace by the scholars who have added fuel and vinegar, and the queen mother and the new monarch are very worried about whether you want to rebel, okay? Lao Tzu has already interceded with you in private, saying that you can't bear it anymore, okay! You can't just look at the example of the Zheng family!

Even if the Zheng family catches up with the new monarch to ascend the throne and amnesty the world, after coming back, they will rely on your help to get by, okay! I have to prevent the Liu family from continuing to retaliate!

"Huh!" The upstarts all knew that Liu Rong was not only the king of Changlong, but also deeply trusted by the queen mother and the new monarch, so they didn't dare to refute his words, as for whether they listened to it in their hearts...... Then only they know.

"Speaking of which, I would like to congratulate King Changlong." Someone saw the embarrassing scene, so they led the topic away, "King Changlong, both civil and military, chic and extraordinary, even attracted the Duanmu family to come out of the young lady who didn't even want the identity of the Shi clan, and was willing to be expelled from the house and committed to you!" ”

A trace of joy and pity flashed on Liu Rong's face, and after a while, he said dumbly: "What kind of civil and military is Lonely?" In terms of writing, you can understand the account book and your own name. ”

"Anyway, King Changlong will marry the queen soon, this is a great joy, and it should be revealed!"

The upstarts gathered here and bustled and lively, but the scholars were not alarmed.

The six valves in the sea have already experienced a few times for the change of dynasty, and the scholars have long been measured in their usual exchanges, and the current open and secret battles have not yet reached the point where they need to be connected all night, so they naturally do not hesitate to show their elegance and calmness.

In the backyard of the newly hung Yiguo Mansion, Wei Changying frowned and said Duanmu Xin - because he insisted on remarrying, and the person who remarried was still from the Shu clan, the splendid Duanmu family notified all families not long ago and expelled Duanmu Xinmiao, the eighth lady of the sect, out of the door.

At the same time, the Duanmu core Miao removed the word "Miao" in the boudoir name, and then it could only be called Duanmu core.

There was no warning of this matter, even if Wei Changying heard Qiu Baoniang say that Liu Rong seemed to be interested in Duanmu Core before, but he didn't expect things to turn like this - it was not the Huo family that fell out of the ranks of the scholars, but Duanmu Xinmiao became Duanmu Xinmiao and was expelled from the Shi family!

When the Shen family knew the news, it was similar to other people's families, and they first felt incredible, but after confirming it, they all sighed with emotion that Duanmu Core had worked hard for his mother's family!

Originally, Duanmu Xin had agreed with his mother's family to get rid of the scholar and marry Liu Rong, so he bought the house in advance.

But firstly, Duanmu Weimiao was not worried that she lived alone, and secondly, there was a place in the Yiguo Mansion anyway, so Wei Changying naturally took her to live in the mansion - anyway, Shen Xuan and his wife recognized the righteous daughter at the beginning, and last year Wei Changying married a righteous daughter Ji Yiren who was born in a reckless manner, and did she not always come back to live in the mansion and treat the Yiguo Mansion as her maiden home?

Duanmuxin is also familiar with Wei Changying, and he didn't just live in it, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking every day - the key is not only that she was kicked out of the door by the family, but also - her marriage date has been set, just this summer, and now it's February, is there anyone who is so easy to marry?!

"Are you listening to me?!" Wei Changying talked bitterly for a long time, but found that Duanmu Xin was gesturing to the maid behind him, asking for another small bowl of hot goat milk, and couldn't help but ask with a headache!
