"Anyway, there seems to be something missing from this funeral.

His Majesty's generation of heroes, decades of sweeping the heroes to dominate the world, the four seas surrendered, thousands of miles to the heart, the Han and Tang Dynasties, the prestige of the world, there was not even a martyr at this funeral.

Something is not good! ”

Yang Feng looked at the ongoing funeral and said suddenly.

"Ambassador, I remember that you mocked Emperor Taizu Gao for using a woman to be martyred, right? Do you want me to repeat what you said? ”

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Well, I sarcastically mocked him back then, just saying that he shouldn't use women for burial, but it doesn't mean that he can't use men, not to mention that his martyrdom is forcing people to die, but if someone is really loyal, he is willing to be buried for him, and he is willing to follow him underground to be a slave, that's another matter."

Yang Feng said.

Then he walked over to the vassal envoys next to him.

The nearest one is the Wa Kingdom, and of course the Wa King himself is among those county kings, these are the ones sent by the Wa State Minister to pay tribute, and to attend the funeral, led by a middle-aged man from the Tokugawa family, he saw Yang Feng walking towards him, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned around, smiled flatteringly, and bowed grovelly.

Yang Feng directly hugged his shoulder, and then whispered something in his ear.

He immediately looked horrified.

Yang Feng's eyes widened, he wanted to cry and nodded without tears, Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, pushed him with his hand, he walked to an official of the Ministry of Rites in despair, and then said something in front of the latter, the latter looked surprised, but then hurriedly walked towards Zhu Di, Yang Feng looked at this scene, and walked to the Korean envoy with satisfaction......

Soon the Ministry of Rites official returned.

At the same time, he was still holding a handful of ribs in his hand, and the envoy of the Wa Kingdom immediately knelt down and took the ribs with both hands.

"King Yan has an order, and the envoy of the Wa State invites himself to be martyred, as the slave and maid of Emperor Taizu Gao, his loyalty is commendable, so he is allowed, and asks the prison to give the training doctor!"

The official shouted.

The envoy knelt there, wiping his ribs very solemnly, and an attaché next to him stood there and raised a borrowed Yanling knife......

Yang Feng, who was beside the Korean tribute envoy, watched this scene with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at the Korean tribute envoy with a threatening gaze.

The latter was speechless with grief and indignation.

But in the end, he walked to the Ministry of Rites in despair.

Yang Feng watched with satisfaction as they spoke, and then walked towards the Ryukyu envoy......

Lao Zhu's funeral ended like this, and then the next day there was good news in the palace.

The queen was born.

But......

"There's nothing wrong with the Empress, right?

Besides, she is a baby, and it will take at least fifteen years to grow up, such a long time is enough to select virtuous and virtuous teachers for her, so that she can grow into a generation of Ming Jun, in fact, the heroine on Taixi's side is very ordinary, and even many heroines can be called a generation of heroes, and they also dominate the world. ”

Yang Feng said.

On Wutai Mountain, the kings gathered again, and this time not only the kings, but also the princes in the capital and the Shangshu of the court also gathered.

It's like a council of the electors.

Of course, Ambassador Yang was not a participant, but only acted as an intermediary to provide the venue.

"How can I, Da Ming, follow the example of Fanbang?"

Xu Huizu said.

"Wei Guogong is not a loyal minister of Emperor Daxing?

Emperor Daxing's bones are not cold, there is only this bloodline left, and the Duke of Wei wants to abandon it? ”

The little princess sneered.

Wei Guogong was speechless......

Of course, it may also be from the heart, after all, with his old age, he can be the first to come forward, and he is already worthy of the Duke of Wei on his head, and the current situation is actually understood by everyone, as long as the little princess insists on the succession of the princess, then there is no objection, after all, you can't be rough with her.

Everyone looked at King Yan together, but King Yan sat there silent.

"I also made it clear that the bloodline of Emperor Daxing must inherit the throne, regardless of men and women, I also know that the succession of the imperial daughter is somewhat criticized, but this is also a helpless choice, after all, Emperor Daxing only left this bit of blood. What's more, Emperor Taizu Gao did not leave a system where the imperial daughter could not succeed to the throne, if the imperial daughter could not succeed to the throne, who do you think could succeed to the throne?

Yun Wei?

Take Liu Rong and let him tell the kings who is the mastermind of killing the king! ”

The little princess said.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Rong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was brought in by Jinyiwei.

He has been locked up in the edict prison, and he hasn't even disclosed his identity, originally waited for Zhu Yunwen to be caught and confronted Zhu Yunwen, but now he is just using it to gag the mouths of all parties, after all, if it is really Zhu Yunwen who masterminded the murder of the king, he is really the most qualified to inherit the throne.

As for his previous ones, they didn't matter at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the son of Liu Jiang, the guardian of the hundred households under this king, who was originally sent to protect Master Daoyan, but was bribed by Yun Wei and left without permission with more than 100 guards. But fortunately, his conscience is not clear, there is still a little loyalty, after the Daxing Emperor was killed, he took his men to abscond back to Beiping to the king, the matter is very important, the king did not dare to dispose of it without authorization, so it was sent to the Jinyi guard. He was in Suzhou at the time, and he knew the truth about His Majesty's murder, and all his confessions were true, and there were also confessions from Suzhou puppet officials, as well as some physical evidence. ”

Zhu Di said.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone knows that Zhu Yunwen was played by his fourth uncle.

It was a conspiracy from the start.

In this strange silence, Liu Rong confessed the whole process, including how Zhu Yunwen, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, and Huang Zicheng made a plan, Fang Xiaoru deceived and coaxed the emperor to conquer in person, and Zhu Yunwen lured the emperor to Fengqiao on the grounds of meeting.

Even the bribery of Wu Shouan and others afterwards was fully explained.

"Got it?

Emperor Daxing is Yun Wei murdered, he committed the crime of killing the king for his ministers, and committed the crime of killing his brother for his brother, how can such a person be worthy of succession?

If he succeeds to the throne, Emperor Daxing will not be blind.

As for his two younger brothers, even if they are punished by the Great Ming Law, they are both guilty bodies, so they are naturally not worthy of succession, so who else can succeed them?

King Yan? ”

The little princess said.

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at her fourth brother.

Zhu Di quickly stood up......

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao Wang moved to the Western Regions, Shizhen Western Regions is the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, how dare you disobey it, Xiao Wang has no touch with the emperor's heart, if anyone forces him to do this, Xiao Wang should leave Beijing immediately, return to Beiping and take his family away to the Western Regions. As for the ownership of the throne, Xiao Wang thinks that it is not impossible to succeed to the throne with a princess, after all, this is also a matter of no choice, if Emperor Daxing has no bloodline to stay, he will naturally make another choice, if Emperor Daxing has a son, he is naturally still a son, but now there is only this posthumous daughter, then there is no choice. But the succession of the crown daughter is only an expedient measure after all, and he himself naturally has to do it, but in the future, the prince will have to make another choice. ”

He said.

Yang Feng looked at him with a smile.

Therefore, Zhu Di knew that he couldn't fight now, and the situation forced him to accept the reality, but he buried mines in advance for the future.

"The fourth brother really understands the righteousness, but in the future, the queen also thought of it, after the princess succeeded to the throne and became an adult, the son she gave birth to can only be regarded as a foreign surname, and the foreign surname naturally cannot be touched by the Ming Dynasty, but the daughter she gave birth to can marry the clan, this aunt and cousin can be, and the reborn is naturally my Zhu family.

He will be able to succeed to the throne. ”

The little princess said.

Zhu Di's gaze swept over King Liao.

"That's good, but when the time comes, you have to choose the person you marry."

He said.

This Tama is tailor-made for the King of Liao.

At that time, the daughter born by the empress will follow the man's surname, that is, a different surname, under the operation of the little princess, marry the great-grandson of the King of Liao, regardless of whether there is a gap in age, anyway, this belongs to the cousin, and finally gave birth to a son who is the heir to the throne, and the throne is actually transferred to the line of the King of Liao, which is definitely unacceptable.

"This is natural, and it will be up to the empress to choose when the time comes."

King Liao said with a smile.

"That's not good, this is the throne, let's set a rule."

King Zhou said indifferently.

None of you are stupid.

The two of you are born by the same mother, there is Yang Feng in the future, no matter who is the emperor, the little princess is the final say of the imperial court, especially the empress, she and Yang Feng are good at making good saplings grow crooked, and in the end, the empress grows up, and she doesn't treat them as relatives. The King of Liao also already has a son, although he is a generation older than the empress, but he is only slightly older, as long as he gets married early, it is estimated that in another fourteen or fifteen years, he will have a son, and this is the same generation as the empress. And the little princess is in her early twenties this year, if she bewitches the empress to get married in her twenties, it is estimated that the daughter she gave birth to will probably not be more than ten years old in age with the great-grandchildren of King Liao.

Isn't it logical for the little princess to get the great-grandson of the King of Liao to her side, and to be with the empress's daughter every day, and finally get married?

Their son is the Emperor.

"What kind of rules does the fifth brother think should be made?"

The little princess said.

"At that time, how to choose a son-in-law cannot be decided by the empress, but the unmarried people of the same generation in the clan should be gathered in the capital, and then in the Taimiao, please ask Emperor Taizu Gao to decide."

King Shu said.

They have also woken up.

"Lots?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, it's up to Emperor Taizu Gao to decide, and what is drawn is naturally the choice of Emperor Taizu Gao."

King Chu said.

Drawing lots is the fairest.

After all, it's possible for everyone.

Yang Feng was speechless, what else did the King of Liao want to say, the little princess gestured with her eyes, and he closed his mouth, so after a meeting of the clan and important ministers, it was decided that although the queen gave birth to a girl, as the only blood of the Daxing Emperor, this girl could only inherit the throne. But this is just an expedient measure, so the crown prince of the empress must still be the male of the Zhu family, and as for the way to choose, it is the daughter of the empress who is born by marrying the clan. In addition, if there are such exceptions in the future, this rule can be followed, that is, if the future emperor has no son and only a daughter, the daughter will also succeed to the throne, but the children born after the succession have no inheritance rights, and only after the daughter marries the clan, the male of the Zhu family who is born has the right to inherit.

And in the case of brother to brother, only if the emperor has no children.

If the Empress had no daughters, or if her daughters had not given birth to a son before her death, then her sons would have no right to inherit and would have to choose from her father's brothers, and if there were no brothers, she would continue upward.

However, this is very unlikely.

After all, unless the empress is infertile, it's a big deal to change men!

Of course, she can't face countless faces in the harem, but she can divorce her man, it's a big deal to change it to a new one, and it will always be successful if she changes it a few more times, in fact, if she really wants to be an emperor, she will raise the first three thousand, and it is estimated that no one will dare to say anything.

In the end, this set of inheritance rules, like the previous clan reform covenant, was jointly signed and sealed by the kings, Princess Hanshan, who represented the empress, and Ambassador Yang as the intermediary.

This is the perpetual system of the future.

This system......

This system is considered to have subverted tradition, and it has also made the empress legitimate.

"In case ...... in the future"

As soon as Zhu Di and the others left, King Liao looked at his sister anxiously.

"Raw rice is cooked and cooked, if I am not careful, your sister will already have it at this time, and when the time comes, I will also bring your great-grandson over, let the two of them play together every day, what if something happens in the end? But if your great-grandson can't even solve this problem, then you can only say that you are unlucky. ”

Yang Feng said.

The King of Liao was speechless.

That's all there is to it.

After all, he knew that his brothers wouldn't give up so easily.

The next day.

Because the queen has to be confined and can't move, so Princess Hanshan, as the only adult princess of the Zhu family at present, holds the newborn princess, holds the enthronement ceremony in the Yudaqing Palace, sits on the dragon chair to accept the official worship of the kings and ministers, and then announces to the world that the princess will succeed to the throne. The empress's accession to the throne did not cause much turmoil, after all, King Yan took all the kings to accept the empress, in the final analysis, this is the Zhu family's own business, even the Zhu family's vassal kings agree, what qualifications do other foreign surnames have to oppose?

The Confucian scholars did lament that the country would not be a country, but they were already lamenting.

Whatever they want!

They only have the ability to lament now.

As for the common people, they don't care about this.

Besides, Emperor Daxing has this one descendant, even if it is a girl, it makes sense for her to succeed to the throne.

Besides, it's honest enough to be able to disclose that it's a girl, but it's actually a boy, and it's hard for outsiders to know.

Because the queen is confined, the empress is still breastfeeding, and she is still the princess of Hanshan of the Zhu family, of course, she is also acting as the superintendent, but in fact, there is an unmarried princess, but that one is only a few years old, and the other married ones are no longer the Zhu family, and they are not qualified to take care of the affairs of the Zhu family. Then under the auspices of the little princess, Zhu Yunxi's funeral was completed, and after the funeral, Zhu Di and other vassal kings who chose to go out left Beijing, and those who stayed in the capital stayed in the capital, and after these were completed, the time was almost to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And Zhu Yunwen, after learning the news of the empress's accession to the throne, did not hesitate to proclaim himself emperor in Guangzhou.

And proclaim it to the world.

Wang Bi led the army to the north suddenly, with the cooperation of the gentry in the city, the soldiers captured Guilin without blood, and then locked the Lingqu, and He Rong's uncle He Di also led the Guangdong soldiers to lock off Meiling.

This is how Nanming was born.
