The ministers below were waiting for Concubine Zheng to read the contents of the holy decree, and King Fu was anxious to be the emperor, so he gently pulled Zheng Guifei's skirt and whispered: "Mother, you hurry up and read the holy decree." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei looked at King Fu and thought, don't do it at this time, wait for when. Gritted his teeth and closed the holy decree, glared at the ministers and said, "Don't you believe the words of this palace?"

Fang Congzhe immediately retorted: "Guifei Niangniang, whether it is true or not, you can take it out and see it." ”

Zheng Guotai looked at Zheng Guifei's sudden face, and knew that there must be something wrong with this holy decree, and said with an idea: "When the emperor was alive, he said that he would make King Fu the crown prince, and the emperor originally liked King Fu very much. The crown prince was a few years older than King Fu, but he was only at the age when he was about to go to the study to make him the crown prince, and he kept saying that he wanted to make King Fu the crown prince. The prince is frail and sickly, and the emperor is not very optimistic about the prince, so it is normal to temporarily change the king to the prince. ”

"The prince's biological mother is just a palace maid with a low status, and the emperor doesn't like it. Besides, before there was no Fu Wang, Zheng Guifei was pregnant with the second prince at that time, and the emperor also said that he would make the second prince the crown prince. It can be seen that the emperor does not want to make the eldest prince the crown prince. ”

When Fang Congzhe heard Zheng Guotai's words, he was indignant in his heart, and retorted: "Lord Zheng's words are wrong, the crown prince is the eldest son of the emperor, although he was not born to the queen, but he is the adopted son of the queen's mother. ”

"The emperor did not appoint the crown prince before, that was the emperor's consideration, why did Lord Zheng be suspicious. After the crown prince was established, there was nothing wrong with the crown prince, why did the emperor abolish the prince. What's more, is the noble concubine holding the edict of King Lifu in her hand? If it is true, the emperor personally wrote the imperial letter, and Weichen must abide by the holy decree. ”

When Concubine Zheng heard this, Fang Congzhe's posture had to read the edict. However, how could this edict be shown to him? If there was no edict, what if she led King Fu to rebel? She couldn't help but look cold-blooded, and cold-blooded would definitely not help her again. I can't say it, it's better to do it myself.

Concubine Zheng Guifei's eyes widened, she held the holy decree in her hand, and said solemnly: "The holy decree is here, and King Fu's accession to the throne is imminent." If you are not convinced, you have to see for yourself!"

As she spoke, she helped King Fu up and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zheng Guotai immediately agreed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Of course, a few of Zheng Guifei's henchmen also followed. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Others, you look at me, I look at you.

The prince panicked, looked at Xiaoyaozi and said, "Xiaoyaoxia, what do you think you should do now?"

Xiaoyaozi said very calmly: "Don't worry, prince, let's take a look at the faces of these people first." ”

The more the prince looked at it, the more anxious he became, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said excitedly: "Seeing that this blessed king is about to become the emperor." How long will we have to wait, and the throne won't be mine!"

Xiong Wei also said anxiously beside him: "Yes, Master, if you don't say anything, it will be too late." Can't we just announce it first and then look at it?"

"It's no fun to announce that if you watch it again, how can you see clearly who is really following you and who is the grass on the wall?" Xiaoyaozi said unhurriedly. He looked at the prince's anxious expression and said, "Don't be impatient, the prince is not impatient, it is yours after all, and you can't come in a hurry." ”

When the ministers saw Zheng Guifei's henchmen, they all recognized that King Fu was the emperor. Now that the queen is also dead, the people of the Donglin Party have been cut by the emperor again, and most of the people who can gain power in the court are Zheng Guifei's candidates, and only Fang Congzhe and the old ministers surnamed Wang are the ones who protect the prince.

The henchmen who can actually take power in the DPRK and China are basically Zheng Guifei's people now.

The ministers saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately knelt down one after another, shouting with Zheng Guifei's henchmen: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Wang Dong saw that most of the officials had already submitted to Concubine Zheng. He angrily rebuked the ministers and said, "What's wrong with you? I didn't see the truth or falsehood of the holy decree in Concubine Zheng's hand, so how could I believe her." ”

Zheng Guotai glared at Wang Dong and said: "Lord Wang, King Fu is the emperor, and Concubine Zheng is now the queen mother, what crime should you be guilty of if you dare to offend the queen mother!"

"Zheng Guotai, don't be too arrogant. What is going on has not yet been clarified, how can King Fu be the emperor?" Wang Dong scolded.

"Someone! Arrest this madman who offended the Queen Mother. Zheng Guotai immediately ordered.

Wang Dong glared at the soldiers present and shouted, "I see who dares to move!"

Concubine Zheng also said confidently: "I cut the right of Wang Dongjin's clothes and guards to command, and dragged him out and beat him to death." ”

She looked at the cold-blooded on the side again, and wanted to say that she would let the cold-blooded serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, first, she didn't know if the cold-blooded was willing, and secondly, it was really difficult to tell the ministers what this cold-blooded identity was.

Just when Concubine Zheng Guifei hesitated, Fang Congzhe stood up and said, "Concubine Zheng, what are you doing here." If you don't show the holy decree to the minister, the minister won't believe what you say, even if he is a ghost. If you want to kill, you will kill even the old ministers. ”

"What are you doing in a daze, arrest Fang Congzhe for me!" Zheng Guifei ordered urgently.

Fang Congzhe looked at the silent ministers, and said angrily: "What's wrong with you? This is obviously fake, why don't you rise up and avenge the crown prince!"

"Hurry up and drag them away, King Fu will ascend the throne today!" Zheng Guifei's momentum became stronger and stronger.

Zheng Guotai ordered again: "Didn't you hear what the Queen Mother said, hurry up and drag it away!"

The soldiers had no choice but to drag Wang Dong and Fang Congzhe away.

When Xiong Wei saw that it was really too late to say anything more, he hurriedly jumped out to stop the soldier and said, "Wait, this matter is not clear." The concubine Niangniang still took out the holy decree in her hand and took a look. ”

Zheng Guifei set her eyes on Xiong Wei and thought: How did you forget this guy. This is a tough guy. It can't be hard, it's soft, it's not light, it's not heavy, the key is not to know what tricks he will make.

Concubine Zheng looked at Xia Yun next to her again, leaned into her ear and said, "Miss Xia, Xiong Wei listens to you, are you ......?"

When Xia Yun heard this, she instantly felt that she had another burden on her body. However, this is a difficult thing to do. She originally hoped that the court would be as chaotic as possible, how could she let Xiong Wei not pursue this matter?

What's more, the current Xiong Wei is no longer the Xiong Wei of the time. When I first met, it was Xiong Wei who listened to him, and now he listens to Xiong Wei by himself.

Concubine Zheng Guifei looked at Xia Yun and didn't speak for a long time, and knew that she couldn't be trusted.

Zheng Guifei only had her own moves, she looked at Xiong Wei with a weird yin and yang and said, "Lord Xiong, if you don't believe it, you can go up and take a look." ”

Concubine Zheng knew what was written in the holy decree, and she wanted to wait for Xiong Wei to come up, and she would quietly tell Xiong Wei to give Xiong Wei a great benefit and let Xiong Wei suppress this matter.

Who knows, Xiong Wei jumped up, knelt in front of Zheng Guifei and said, "Weichen is brave." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei handed one end of the holy decree to Xiong Wei and whispered: "Lord Xiong, if you are willing to ensure that my son ascends the throne, I will definitely treat you well in the future." What's more, you see that now everyone has recognized my son as the emperor, don't spoil my good deeds. ”

Xiong Wei tugged at the holy decree, Zheng Guifei dragged the holy decree again, Xiong Wei looked at her and smiled slightly, and deliberately said: "Guifei Niangniang, doesn't this holy decree say that the first emperor has let King Fu succeed to the throne? What are you worried about, whoever the first emperor let inherit the throne, I will be loyal to." ”

Xiong Wei dragged the holy decree over as soon as he spoke, and suddenly opened the holy decree. Xiong Wei already knew that the so-called holy decree was just a blank piece of paper.

He deliberately turned the white side to the ministers and said, "Everyone, please see, what is written on this holy decree?"

Concubine Zheng didn't expect Xiong Wei to do this, she hurriedly snatched the holy decree, but it was too late.

Xiong Wei saw that Concubine Zheng was about to come to snatch the holy decree, and stretched out his hand to avoid Concubine Zheng.

The ministers below began to discuss.

Fang Congzhe and Wang Dong were even more excited, the two glanced at each other, and said one after another: "The holy decree is fake, the holy decree is false." ”

The prince didn't understand what was going on, so he looked at Xiaoyaozi and said, "What's going on?"

Xiaoyaozi still said lightly: "Don't worry, take a look." ”

Concubine Zheng was angry and said, "What do you want to do?"

Xiong Wei smiled wickedly and said, "I don't want to do anything, I'm just telling the story." ”

Xiong Wei took the blank decree and said, "Look, everyone, this decree is blank. ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei also said weakly: "The first emperor has not had time to write an edict, and it is the emperor's oracle to let King Fu ascend the throne." The emperor told me that he wanted my son to inherit the throne, who dared to disobey. ”

The ministers talked one after another, and everyone did not dare to speak for a while.

Zheng Guifei said excitedly: "The first emperor said that King Fu should be appointed as the emperor, who dares to disobey, who dares to disobey, who dares to disobey!"

No one spoke.

Zheng Guotai echoed again: "King Fu inherits the throne, and King Fu inherits the throne." ”

The rest of the people also said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

When the crown prince saw it, he was completely stunned, and when he didn't know that the holy decree was fake, the ministers didn't know the truth and supported King Fu to inherit the throne, which was reasonable.

Now everyone knows that Concubine Zheng Guifei took a blank holy decree to fool the ministers, and the ministers also believe that the emperor has decreed that he will put himself as a living prince?

The prince was angry and brainy, clenching his fists, not knowing what to do.

Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly and said, "Prince, can you see the faces of these people clearly today?"

The prince's heart was full of anger, and he said angrily, "I see it clearly. It's really a hot and cold world, my father has just died, and the bones are not cold, so they treat me like this. ”

After seeing that everything was already a foregone conclusion, Concubine Zheng said: "Please King Fu ascend the throne, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyaozi jumped out and said, "Slow!"

Everyone turned their attention to Xiaoyaozi again.

Xiaoyaozi calmly took out the holy decree written by the Mingshen Sect from his arms, held it up and said: "The edict of the first emperor is here, and the crown prince will inherit the throne." ”

Concubine Zheng was stunned for a moment, and thought: His holy decree. Is it just like me?

Zheng Guifei saw that most of the officials had already surrendered to her, and Xiaoyaozi couldn't turn things around no matter what she came up with.

She said unhurriedly: "If it is really the emperor's edict, please take it out and show it to everyone." ”

"Okay, just look at it!" Xiaoyaozi brought the edict to Zheng Guifei, Zheng Guifei was startled, and hurriedly reached out to grab it.

Xiaoyaozi hurriedly put away the edict, threw it to Xiong Wei, and said, "Xiao'er, take it to the hundred officials to verify one by one." ”

Xiong Wei took the holy decree and brought it to the hundred officials, who were familiar with the font of the Mingshen Sect and nodded one after another.

Xiaoyaozi watched Xiong Wei show it to all the officials present, and then ordered: "Qi'er, hand over the holy decree to Taishi Ling to read out so that it can be recorded in history." ”

Tai Shiling took the holy decree and looked at it carefully.

Xiaoyaozi added another sentence and said, "Lord Taishi, this is the emperor's true handiwork?"

Tai Shi Ling nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

"Then read it out quickly!"

Tai Shi Ling read out in a majestic voice:

I inherited the unification with Chong Ling, and I have been in the sea for 48 years, and I have enjoyed the longest country in the country, and I have no regrets. At the beginning of the service of the heirs, he was conscientious and reasonable, and he did not live up to the trust of the emperor. More sick than the fate, quiet for a year, the suburbs of the temple bowed, the court talked about the Xi Yu, the seal is more sluggish, the liao mining is in the air, the mining tax, the troublesome levy, the people's livelihood, the day and the side provocation, gradually open the night, the thinking is invincible, the regret of the map, the change of the rut Jiahe, the world is renewed. And the sickness is dying, and it can't be raised, and the sorrow is made up for the future generations.

The crown prince is smart, benevolent and filial, Rui De is long-awaited, and he is suitable for the emperor's throne.

The emperor's eldest grandson Yi was enshrined in time to enter the school, and King Rui, King Hui, and King Gui each chose to make a good order to be sealed a long time ago.

Zheng is virtuous and virtuous, and was named the queen mother.

The ministers and ministers are in harmony with each other, assisting the heirs, and protecting the royal family, which is the ultimate intention of all of them.

The cabinet auxiliary ministers were urgently appointed, and the secretary Dai did his best to make up for it, and he was elected twice and dismissed by the official order of the museum and the department. Advice on abandonment and mining tax.

The forty-eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

After Tai Shiling read the holy decree, Xiaoyaozi immediately knelt in front of the prince and said: "Please enthrone the prince, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620 AD), Mingshenzong died, and Guangzong was buried in Dingling after ascending the throne. After Emperor Taichang of Mingguangzong ascended the throne, he was named Shenzong for his temple.
