Chapter 412: Edict of Succession
"His Royal Highness King De has arrived!"
Between Wang Chengen and Huang Wenchang's words, the German king Zhu Youshu also came to the last line of defense of the official army under the escort of the Jingbei Army.
"Minister, Zhu Youshu asks for an audience with Your Majesty!"
King De, who had been driven to the shelves, fell heavily in front of the main gate of the Wuying Palace, and behind him were countless soldiers armed to the teeth with swords and guns.
"King De, since you have entered the palace forbidden, don't pretend here, even if our family dies, we won't let you step into the Wuying Palace even if you die, and Your Majesty will not be able to see you."
Behind the official defense line, Wang Chengen's mocking voice like a duck came out, only a little despair was revealed in that voice.
"The prince and the prince, the traitors in the court are raging, and now there are rogues in the Ming Dynasty, there are Tartars outside, the country has reached the most dangerous point, the king is afraid that the three hundred years of the emperor's foundation will be ruined, so he has to follow the instructions of the Taizu to do the things of the Qing monarch's side, and dare not hurt His Majesty half a point, the heart of the fist, a piece of sincerity, and ask the prince to pass on to His Majesty."
Zhu Youshu spoke slowly, his tone was also full of helplessness, Huang Chu wanted to follow Tang Yu's example, Sima will look at it in the future, although he has the name of a Fengtian prison country, but he is also a puppet in the hands of Li Xingzhi, today he forced Chongzhen to pass on the edict, but who knows when the wolf's ambition Li Wei will come out like this?
"Since His Royal Highness has no two hearts, why doesn't he support the crown prince? Shicai Huang Shuai said, His Royal Highness intends to Yongwang, that is, the Son of Heaven, and you and the Fu Domain Supervisor will be the regent, but Yongwang is only seven years old, how can he ascend to the Great Treasure? Speaking of which, it is not about controlling the government. ”
Although Wang Chengen usually only obeys Chongzhen's orders, he is by no means an ignorant fool, how can he be moved by Zhu Youshu's few words? The left and right sides have reached the point of exhaustion, and he has the heart of death, so he does not show weakness in his words.
"Princess, you have also seen it, are several teachers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kneeling to greet His Royal Highness King De? The so-called words and deeds, the ministers are just afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be too deeply affected by these scum, and the pro-government will repeat the mistakes of His Majesty in the future, you better go and inform Your Majesty, if it drags on, I am afraid that the last general will not be able to rein in the soldiers under his command, and it will not be good to disturb the majesty of the imperial city. ”
In the face of Wang Chengen, who did not enter the oil and salt, Huang Wenchang was already a little unbearable, isn't it just an edict of succession, it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu wrote it on behalf of the emperor.
"Hehe, the fox's tail is exposed, Your Majesty will not promise you, if you want to fight, you will fight, and our family will accompany you to the end."
Wang Chengen did not enter the oil and salt, as a diehard loyalist of Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely not give in to King De and Huang Wenchang.
"Your Majesty, the old slave heard clearly, Zhu Youshu and Huang Wenchang said clearly, they want to support His Royal Highness the King to ascend the throne, and they are now confronting the prince and Gong Juma outside the palace, asking for the edict of succession."
In the Wuying Palace, Chen Daquan, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, carefully knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen, peeking at the emperor and Empress Zhou who was standing on the side from time to time.
"Alas, ......, there is a crime in the world, the sin is in me, I regret not listening to the words of the imperial brother, there is no important Wei Zhongxian, so that the Manchu Dynasty traitor, passed the decree, King De cleaned up the bones for Wei Zhongxian, rebuilt the tomb, and stood on the side of the emperor's Deling, let him continue to serve the imperial brother!"
Chongzhen didn't pay any attention to Chen Daquan in fear, but stood up on his own, the surrender of the Manchu civil and military forces made him very disappointed in those courtiers who were usually righteous and awe-inspiring, and at the last moment remembered what the imperial brother said when he was dying, "Loyal and virtuous are loyal and loyal, and they can count great things." ”
"The old slave commands!"
Looking at the calm and somewhat abnormal Emperor Chongzhen, Chen Daquan also knew that the emperor was going to explain the future.
"If you go and pass on my edict again, the succession of King Yong and the auxiliary government of the De and Fu domains, I will also agree, but they must not hurt Empress Yi'an and my queen and their children, otherwise I will never write an edict of succession."
"Your Majesty, if you die, how can the concubines live alone, and the concubines are the mother of a country, how can they be held hostage by these traitorous ministers and rebels."
Zhou and Chongzhen have been married for more than ten years, knowing that their husband has a will to die, and bowed down in front of Chongzhen.
"Hahaha...... With Zitong by my side, I am not alone! Chen Daquan, go and pass on the edict, let King De and Li Xingzhi sign it, and as long as they agree to my request, I will write an edict of succession. ”
At this moment, Zhu Youzhen and his wife are no longer the son of heaven and the mother of the country, but parents who are full of reluctance to their children.
"The old slave commands."
Obviously, Zhu Youzhen's request is not difficult, one is to rehabilitate Wei Zhongxian, and the other is just to protect his children, Li Xingzhi naturally will not veto, and he accepted it on the spot.
And Chen Daquan passed on to Emperor Chongzhen that he Li not only protects the emperor's wife and Xiao Zhouquan, but also can respect Chongzhen as the emperor, and the family can move to Dengzhou Penglai Hou to live for a long time, and even keep 500 operations as the emperor's guard.
"I have lost the inheritance passed down by the emperor's brother, what kind of face do you have to be the emperor, don't persuade me, the sons are young, and you still need to take care of them, Wang Chengen, you draft the edict for me."
Looking at Wang Chengen, Gong Yongchang and others with eager eyes in front of him, Zhu Youzhen spoke resolutely.
moved to Penglai Pavilion and became a canary raised by King De and Li Zhifeng, such a humiliation, Zhu Youzhen, who was strong all his life, would never be able to do it.
"I have been on the throne for thirteen years, although I have bowed to the throne and bowed to the heavens, but all the ministers have mistaken me, so that the East is raging, and the rogue is rampant, so that the German domain is doing the things on the side of the Qing monarch, and is close to the Beijing Division, and now the legend is located in the third son of the emperor Zhu Cijiong, but the prince is young, and the non-clan can not be supplemented, the German king Zhu Youshu and the blessed king Zhu Changxun are loyal to the country, and they can send big things. Please also ask the German and Fu clans to be kind to the people, and to prosper my Ming Dynasty, and not to make trouble.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is willing to follow Your Majesty"
Wang Chengen recorded the last holy decree of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen with tears, and when he wrote about removing the crown and covering his face with hair, he was already silent.
"Wang Banban, I know that you are loyal, but the sons are young, and I still want you to take care of them."
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone, and when it comes to parting from life and death, Chongzhen is also a little sad.
"The emperor, the right person Chen Daquan reported that the princes and Empress Yi'an have Wang Dehua to take care of, His Royal Highness the King has Chen Daquan by his side, and the old slave is dying, I really don't want to see the faces of Zhu Youshu and Li Xingzhi and other rebel ministers, or die with the emperor, and the emperor and Niangniang are under Jiuquan, and they also want to be served."
"No matter what, it's enough to know everything about life, you just go with me, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to the words of the imperial brother!"
Zhu Youzhen got up suddenly, and with the slightly trembling right hand of the Lord Empress Zhou, he turned to the Dongnuan Pavilion in the Wuying Palace.
