Zhao Han sat on the tower of Wumen City, his whole body was in pain, and he was about to faint in pain, he could only grit his teeth and endure without saying a word.

Until everyone finished celebrating their birthdays, looking at the clans, officials and envoys under the city, Zhao Han suddenly asked weakly: "You guys, can you kneel down to me?" ”

The voice was so small that only the people around them could hear it, and everyone was stunned.

The crown prince Zhao Kuanghuan was the first to react and knelt down with a puff.

The female officer ran to the guards of the castle tower and said, "Your Majesty asks if everyone can bow down to the emperor." ”

The guards of the city tower knelt down one after another, and some people ran to the city to pass the word: "Your Majesty asks, can everyone kneel and worship the emperor." ”

The guards ran and passed the word, and along the way, like a fierce wind sweeping through the wheat fields, they began to bow down one by one.

Even the envoys from Europe knelt down in unison, and from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone knows that the emperor's time is numbered, and he used to abolish the kneeling and only want to receive a prostration before he dies.

Looking at the city, Zhao Han suddenly laughed.

To be honest, the memories before the crossing have become very thin. Even many things before the army were forgotten, and at this moment, they suddenly recalled them, and they passed through my mind like a marquee.

"Flat." Zhao Han said softly.

"Flat!"

"Flat!"

The voice came from near and far, and everyone in the city stood up one after another.

Emperor Zhao was really able to toss this time, and after the birthday ceremony was over, he drank some millet porridge and asked the guards to carry him to Meizizhou.

Everyone followed, because the sports day was held in advance.

The Games were initiated in the 35th year of the Republic of China, and anyone can sign up to participate, and the royal family provides prizes and bonuses. The current events are: long-distance running, sprinting, standing long jump, triple jump, musket shooting, bow shooting, marksmanship, equestrian, wrestling, boxing, juju, polo, swimming, rowing, javelin, throwing a solid ball, triathlon.

Triathlon was established to promote bicycles.

Rubber already has early vulcanization technology, bicycles have tires, and chains are not difficult, and can already be used as a means of travel.

Meizizhou in the Yangtze River, with the holding of the Games, has completely become an entertainment center. The inhabitants of the island can get rich by doing small business, and there are a large number of tourists on ordinary holidays.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The whistle of the river ship sounded, and Zhao Han took the lead in the steamboat to Meizizhou.

The opening ceremony was very exciting, with opera, magic, equestrian and other performances, and Zhao Hanqiang endured the severe pain to watch it.

That night, I stayed at Meizizhou and watched the official game on the second day.

Du Chunfeng, a player from Hebei, won the 15-zhang sprint championship, and then won the 30-zhang sprint championship.

Both sides of the Yangtze River are also crowded.

The people gathered on the shore to cheer and cheer, because there was a regatta there. The shape of the boat is similar to a dragon boat, some people beat the drum and beat the rhythm, and the rowing boats are like arrows from the string speeding on the river.

The triathlon in the afternoon is even more lively.

The runners first rode on the north bank of the Yangtze River. When you reach your destination, you abandon the car and swim across the Yangtze River, swim to the south bank of the Yangtze River to start running, run for a while and then swim to the end of Meizizhou.

On the fifth day of the Games, Zhao Han suddenly fainted.

It took him a while to wake up, and he found that the game had been interrupted, so he said, "The sports meeting continues, and the officials of the cabinet and the clan will immediately follow me back to the Forbidden City." ”

……

Yingmin Temple.

Everyone was nervous, and they vaguely felt that something big was happening.

Zhao Han nested on the throne of Jinluan, and said as clean as his mouth as possible: "Proposed move, Chen Maosheng, you will write!" ”

Chen Maosheng is in his 70s and currently serves as the first assistant.

When the emperor died, it was time for him to resign, at most for another year as a buffer.

Zhang Tieniu was bedridden at home at this time, he was injured too much when he was young, and when he was old, he was sick and had not gone out for several years.

Fei Ruhe was quite healthy, standing in the hall at the moment, secretly sighing and shaking his head.

Fei Chun and Liu Ziren have passed away, the former is 68 years old, and the latter is 62 years old. are all posthumously crowned county kings, and the title cannot be hereditary.

"Tell the world: After I die, my body and clothes will be burned to ashes like a folk cremation."

Chen Maosheng's right hand shook, and the ink stained the paper.

"The ashes are divided into 12 parts, one buried in Purple Mountain in Nanjing, one buried in Luzhou in the far north, one buried in Ezo Island, one buried in Danzhou (Hawaii), one buried in Pangeng City (San Francisco), one buried in Luzon, one buried in Java, one buried in Malacca, one buried in Tibet, one buried in Dawan Province, one buried in Yibanhai (Lake Balkhash), and one buried in Dami Province (Tomsk)."

"All ashes are buried, no mausoleums are built. In order to prevent traitors from stealing and digging, the ashes and soil are scattered in the cemetery, which can be used as nourishment for pines and cypresses. If it is not suitable for planting pines and cypresses, other trees can be planted. Each cemetery is open to all people, and folk worship cannot be stopped. ”

"The 40th year of the Republic of China's edition of the "Datong Collection", word for word, engraved on the stone tablet, standing in the cemetery everywhere...... If the new emperor does not comply, he will be a rebel and a thief, and everyone will be punished! ”

All the ministers were speechless, because they had not repaired the emperor's mausoleum, and they had already guessed that the emperor was going to mess around.

After the recruitment was completed, he re-copied it and handed it over to Zhao Han for inspection.

Zhao Han swept it at a glance and said, "Use the seal." ”

The Great Seal of the Emperor was stamped, and so was the Great Seal of the Cabinet. When the Zhongshu people were called, they immediately copied dozens of copies, sent them to the provinces through the postal system, and then copied and transferred them by the provincial government to the prefectures and counties, and posted them in yamen, docks, ferries, schools, downtown and other places.

Next, Zhao Han said to the ministers: "The top five ministers are all old, and after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, you should all be served." Once a son of heaven and a courtier, don't wait for me to die and have another conflict, and finally break up in a bad mood. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Maosheng, Xu Ying, Wang Tiaoding, Xiao Huan, Ouyang Steam, the five people came out to receive the order, all of them were old ministers in their seventies, and the last three were even eighty years old.

The new monarch has a new atmosphere, the old minister should really go, no matter what his heart is, he will inevitably do things with a dull twilight.

Zhao Han said again: "Yang An." ”

"The minister is here!" Cabinet minister Yang An came out.

Yang An is the person who was born as a domestic slave and became a political envoy at the age of 30 by virtue of his political achievements.

Zhao Han said: "The five of them are the first assistant, and you will naturally become the first assistant." But you have a straight personality, and there are too many enemies in the court. You can continue to be the first assistant, or choose to return to your hometown, you can do it yourself. If you stay in the court and try to control your temper, I'm afraid the new monarch won't be able to endure you for too long. ”

"Erchen has no such intentions!" Zhao Kuanghuan hurriedly made a statement.

Yang An wanted to speak, but his throat choked, and he burst into tears. He was born as a domestic slave, climbed up by political achievements, and often lost his temper in front of the emperor.

Now that the emperor is leaving, Yang An's expression is in a trance, and he suddenly can't find the meaning of life.

Fight with a group of young officials (fifty or sixty years old)?

Yang An's voice whimpered: "Please return to your hometown." ”

Zhao Han nodded: "It's okay." ”

"Woo woo woo woo ~ ~~~"

Zhao Kuanghuan suddenly cried, at first sobbing softly, and then turned into a howling cry.

He has mixed feelings for his father, both worshipping, complaining, and fearing. At this moment, his father was terminally ill and was still sweeping the court for him, and Zhao Kuanghuan finally couldn't hold back his emotions.

As soon as the crown prince cried, the clan and officials also cried.

Some people cry sincerely, and some people cry hypocritically.

Zhao Han said to Fei Ruhe again: "Brother He, you should also be a servant, don't make trouble for the juniors, the prince has his own bag." Yours, uncle, don't annoy your nephew. ”

Fei Ruhe no longer addressed His Majesty, and said with tears: "I listen to Brother Han." ”

Several people were named, and Zhao Han arranged them one by one. It is estimated that the official who sent the holy decree has already left Nanjing, and Zhao Han instructed: "Take my royal handcuff." ”

The female officer and the guards hurriedly went to fetch it, and after about twenty minutes, they held it in both hands and handed it to the emperor.

Zhao Han raised his hands in pain, reloaded the royal pistol, and finally filled it after tossing for a long time.

Suddenly, Zhao Han had a bad taste and pointed his gun at the cabinet ministers, and the ministers instantly turned frightened.

"Haha, it's just a joke."

Zhao Han chuckled, turned the muzzle of the gun suddenly, and stuffed the barrel into his mouth.

"Father!" Zhao Kuanghuan rushed over to grab the gun.

"Your Majesty!"

The clan and the retainers also rushed over.

Zhao Han pulled the trigger, but found that his fingers couldn't be used, and he didn't even have the strength to shoot himself.

The pistol was snatched away by the prince, and the ministers were also shocked into a cold sweat.

Zhao Han smiled bitterly: "That's it, that's it, I'm too lazy to ask you for poison." Die as you want, and it's hard to end your pain early. I plan to recruit, I will abdicate as the emperor, and I will no longer intervene in the government in the future. ”

Zhao Kuanghuan was a little dazed when he heard this, he was 51 years old, and he had long been looking forward to being the emperor, and sometimes even guessed when his father would die.

Now that he is finally going to be the emperor, Zhao Kuanghuan has no excitement in his heart, but only all kinds of grief and melancholy.

Half a month later, Zhao Han abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.

At Zhao Kuanghuan's age, he no longer has any ambitions, he thinks that his father's policy is very good, Xiao Guicao can continue to use it, and there is no need to toss any new policies.

In order to express his political attitude, Zhao Kuanghuan ordered an inventory of officialdom, and at the same time as the Inspectorate cleaned up the Beijing officials, a large number of honest officials were sent to inspect the localities. However, those who embezzle and accept bribes or engage in favoritism and irregularities will be dealt with strictly, and there will be no mention of amnesty for the whole world. After the rectification of the officials, we will check the acres of land next year and severely punish those who occupy and buy and sell people's land.

Up and down the government and the opposition, those with other intentions have all collapsed.

They had long thought of changing the emperor, but they didn't expect the new monarch to succeed to the throne, and the first thing would be like this.

In fact, there is also a new policy, that is, the suspension of foreign expansion, which is really too high military spending, and the imperial court owes the bank a debt of more than 60 million taels of silver.

The hawkish officials are very dissatisfied, they still want to occupy the South Philippine Islands, how can they be promoted without fighting?

In the autumn of that year, the navy stationed in Luzon clashed with the Spanish fleet, and the two sides shelled each other for half an hour (in fact, the Datong navy chased the Spanish navy for half an hour).

Then the navy reported to the imperial court that it had been ambushed by the Spanish fleet and requested a blockade of the major ports of the South Philippine Islands.

Zhao Kuanghuan was furious when he received the report, the navy took him for a fool, how could he take the initiative to attack the Datong navy with just a few broken ships from Spain?

The Admiral of the Navy stationed in Luzon was directly removed from his post by Zhao Kuanghuan, and ordered the Ministry of War, the Naval Governor's Office, and the Inspectorate to jointly go to Luzon to investigate the details of the matter.

Emperor, it's really hard to be!
