Chapter 723: Edict of Succession

On the side of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, it is still a happy scene. The noon banquet had already ended, and the big guys got together, talking and laughing very lively. Jinxiu also said that let everyone eat here at night, it is rare to have such an opportunity to gather.

Suddenly, someone hurriedly ran in from outside, "Uncle, someone has come to the palace, saying that the prince asked the uncle to enter the palace immediately." Chang Ming ran out of breath, and there were several people in the clothes of the chamberlain and the guards behind him, all of whom were also unstable.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, and Yun Zhen walked towards the person in a few steps, "Is there something in the palace?" ”

Shen Hongjun also came over at this time, "Commander Wan, but Niangniang?" "The following words, Shen Hongjun did not exit.

The person who came was the commander of the guards of Fengyi Palace, and he had seen Shen Hongjun, "Grandpa Guo is here, it just so happens that Grandpa Guo asked Grandpa Guo to enter the palace quickly." The mother died, His Majesty also fell ill, and now the prince and the princess are presiding over the overall situation in the palace, and invite the grandfather and uncle to enter the palace to help. ”

Commander Wan's words made everyone in the room stunned all at once. When Yun Xue heard that the queen was sick, tears fell all of a sudden.

Shen Hongjun and Yun Zhen were not in a good mood, but this was not the time to be sad. "Yun Zhen, you can't enter the palace, so I'd better go. Immediately send a herald to seal the gates of the city and keep them tightly guarded. I took people into the palace to protect the safety of Yunlin and his wife. ”

It is very important for the Soldiers and Horses Command Division to protect the safety of the capital, Yun Zhen is the commander, it is useless for him to enter the palace, it is better to stay outside the palace and take people to protect the safety of the capital. Shen Hongjun is a relative and a secretary of the Ministry of War, and he entered the palace to help Yunlin, which is not a violation.

"Shen Zhong, you quickly go and find Shen Liang, Shen Fu and other generals, you have personal soldiers in each of your mansions, gather these people and enter the palace with me." Shen Hongjun turned his head and said to Shen Zhong.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, generals above the third rank can have their own personal guards, with the number of five hundred to one thousand. Shen Zhong and others followed Shen Hongjun to fight everywhere, and now the lowest is also a general from Sanpin, so they all have pro-guard troops.

Shen Hongjun himself also has personal guards, but there are only a thousand people, and he can't do anything, but if you count all the personal guards brought back by the generals, it is a lot. These people can be regarded as the elite of the elite, and they are all experienced in battles.

When Shen Zhong heard this, he immediately went out, while Yushu led the child to stay in the Bofu.

"Yunxue, you immediately take someone back to the Gongfu, and I will leave you a hundred guards in the mansion, and you must protect a few of Chong'er." In the Guogong Mansion, even the servants have some skills. Qin Pengchong's three are very important, and there must be no mistakes.

"Tianfu, you and Yunxia don't go back for the time being. Yunxia stayed in the mansion to help Yun Lei protect everyone in the family, and Tianfu went to help Yun Zhen, so he must stabilize the safety of the capital. ”

"Also, send someone to bring Yun Ting and his wife back quickly, they must be together as a family at this moment, and nothing can go wrong."

Shen Hongjun has experienced the turmoil before and after Qin Wenhao's accession to the throne, as well as the palace change a few years ago. With a keen political instinct, he arranged everything in an instant. They must prepare in advance so that they are not caught off guard if something unexpected happens.

Tianfu and the others all cheered up and went their separate ways. Yun Xue took the children and hurriedly got in the car, escorted by the guards, and returned to the Guogong Mansion next door. "Chong'er, you can stay with me tonight, if your father sends someone to pick you up, your aunt will escort you into the palace."

Yun Xue remembered Yun Ni's entrustment that day, and until now, she has not seen Chen Ping, that is, Yun Lin and his wife have not settled everything in the palace. At this time, the three brothers of Qin Pengchong categorically couldn't leave their sight.

Qin Pengchong is a very smart child, he saw everything that happened in Bofu just now, and he also understood in his heart that something big had happened. "Auntie, don't worry, I will take care of my younger brothers."

Yun Xue nodded, looked up into the distance, and didn't know what was going on in the palace now? The palace change a few years ago is still fresh in Yunxue's memory. Hopefully, nothing will happen this time, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be another bloody battle.

In the palace, Lord Zuo Xianggao and Jiang Chengtao, the household servant, hurriedly arrived. At this moment, I don't care about the rule that this is the inner palace and foreign men are not allowed to enter, who let the emperor be in the Fengyi Palace? Now that the emperor can't move, where can he take care of these anymore?

When Yun Lin saw these two people, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Master Gao, my father is still in a coma, this king took the liberty to invite Xiangye, just to ask Xiangye to be present as a witness." ”

Gao Xiang nodded, he was still very satisfied with the person in front of him who was about to become the prince. He can be regarded as Qin Wenhao's diehard loyalist, Qin Wenhao was able to defeat the eldest prince and others and become the emperor, among which Gao Xiang can also be regarded as an indispensable contribution. The current situation can be said to be very similar to the beginning, which makes Gao Xiang very vigilant.

"The old minister has already learned about the queen's mother's big trip, and he also asked the prince to mourn. Now that His Majesty is weak and sick, and the rest of the princes in the palace are still young, please ask the prince to work hard and handle the funeral. If others have objections, the prime minister will naturally speak for the prince. ”

Yun Lin nodded, "Xie Xiangye maintains, this king is grateful." After speaking, Yun Lin looked at Jiang Chengtao on the side again, "Master Jiang is outstanding in talent, and I also ask Lord Jiang to draft a will for His Majesty later." ”

Yun Lin's meaning, Emperor Yonghui is like this now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get up again to preside over the queen's funeral. Then everything about the funeral must have the will of Emperor Yonghui. This matter is most appropriate to hand over to Jiang Chengtao to record Emperor Yonghui's dictation.

Although Jiang Chengtao is young, he has been by the side of Emperor Yonghui for three years, and Emperor Yonghui treats him like a nephew. Therefore, Jiang Chengtao is even more loyal to Emperor Yonghui. For the crown prince who has been selected by Emperor Yonghui, not to mention the relationship between the Han family for the time being, only with Emperor Yonghui's wishes, Jiang Chengtao will also support it to the end.

"Don't worry, the prince should do his best." Jiang Chengtao saluted towards Yunlin.

At this time, the two imperial doctors who gave the needle to Emperor Yonghui again came out of the room, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty is awake, please let the Lord and the two adults in." ”

For Yunni's medical skills, these two imperial doctors really admire the five-body casting. One dose of medicine and two injections woke up the emperor, who was already unconscious and saw that he was not working. Just after diagnosing the pulse, Emperor Yonghui's pulse has been stable, and there should be no major problem for the time being.

Gao Xiang and Jiang Chengtao followed Yun Lin into the dormitory, and at this time, Emperor Yonghui, who was lying on the bed, had already opened his eyes, and Yun Ni had already withdrawn.

Seeing Yun Lin and the others, Emperor Yonghui was obviously relieved, Yun Lin was really good at doing things, and he knew that these two people would enter the palace. "Cheng Tao, for me to draw up the will, today I will be in the crown prince Qin Yunlin. From now on, Qin Yunlin is the ninth monarch of the Great Zhou. ”

As soon as Qin Wenhao opened his mouth, such a powerful news came, which frightened everyone in the room at once.

"Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you abdicate at this time and make way for Xian? The prince is still young, so he has to go through it again. Gao Xiang's heart froze, Emperor Yonghui said so, I am afraid that his body is really not good. But as a courtier, you have to persuade when it's time to persuade.

Yun Lin knelt on the ground all of a sudden, "Father, I can't help it, my son is young, how can I afford such a heavy responsibility?" The father is just a moment of excessive sadness, with Yunni and the imperial doctor here, he will recover in a few days, and he also asks the father to take back his fate. ”

Emperor Yonghui shook his head, "Your queen mother has already gone, and I am already in despair, and I just want to accompany her." Your queen mother is timid, she's alone over there, lonely, she's scared, I have to go and accompany her. Lin'er, the country of this Great Zhou is entrusted to you, don't let your father down. ”

Although Emperor Yonghui woke up, he was seriously ill after all, his voice was not high, and his breath was a little unstable. He paused for a moment before he said, "Cheng Tao, hurry up and draft the decree, first draw up the decree of succession, and read it to me." ”

Jiang Chengtao knew Emperor Yonghui's temper best, and when he heard the words, he took up the pen and wrote, and the will was drawn up in a short time. He read it to Emperor Yonghui, and Emperor Yonghui was very satisfied. "Just follow this, write a new copy, and then stamp the jade seal."

Jiang Chengtao didn't say anything, and immediately rewrote a new one, and then asked someone to take the jade seal and stamp it directly. After that, Jiang Chengtao handed over the holy decree to Emperor Yonghui, Emperor Yonghui glanced at it, and then handed it to Gao Xiang, "Yizhi, this matter will be entrusted to you, and the matter of Yunlin's accession to the throne will be arranged by you and with full authority." ”

Gao Xiang's face was sad, "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely do his best and will not disappoint Your Majesty." At this time, it was useless for him to persuade him, so it was better to simply follow the emperor's will.

"Okay, Cheng Tao, continue to draft the purpose. The funeral of the queen is fully entrusted to Yunlin, and no one is allowed to disobey it. "Yunlin is the queen's son, and it is natural to hold a funeral for his mother. At this moment, if there is Emperor Yonghui's dictation, no one will dare to make a fuss about this matter.

After that, Emperor Yonghui discussed some specific matters about the funeral with Yun Lin and others. When he heard Yunlin's arrangement, Emperor Yonghui couldn't help but nod his head and praise, "My son is thoughtful and well-behaved, and I am very relieved." Since the spirit is in Fengyi Palace, it is not appropriate for me to live here, so let people move me to the dormitory of the Qinzheng Palace. ”

Although Emperor Yonghui didn't want to leave Shen Ningyan at all, but the queen was in a big way, inside and outside the palace, and all the relatives of hundreds of officials had to come to kneel and worship, if Emperor Yonghui dragged his sick body here, I am afraid it would be a lot of inconvenience. So Emperor Yonghui reluctantly proposed to move out by himself.
