    Song Nan smiled and said: "What's the matter?" Wang Yong said solemnly: "If something cannot be done, please bear with me temporarily, don't make those people red-eyed, and leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. ¡û" Song Nan  He laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect you, Wang Yong, to say such a thing. You have no confidence." Wang Yong said: "It's okay to be in a humble position. The life of a humble position is not worth pitying, but the life of an adult is precious. If you fall into  In an isolated and helpless situation, it is better for you to cherish your life." Song Nan smiled and did not answer, looking at the tall tower of Daming Gate approaching in the distance without saying a word.  Wang Yong sighed and said: "I know that your Excellency is unwilling to compromise, and it is all in vain. In short, I am humble and protect you to the best of my ability. Your Excellency insists on entering the palace to see the Emperor, but the Emperor is now in a dying state. That letter  The imperial edict can't confirm it. It's really hard for my subordinates to understand what I did." Song Nan turned a deaf ear and thought thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Brother Wang, some things are not as they appear on the surface. Of course there is a reason for me to do this. Please wait a moment.  We'll know later." Wang Yong said blankly: "What?" Song Nan smiled and pointed to the front: "We've arrived at Daming Gate, oh, so many soldiers and horses are here, we are really proud of it." Wang Yong looked up.  When I went, I saw densely packed soldiers standing quietly in the square in front of the Daming Gate Palace, silently watching the two people who were gradually approaching. Wang Yong took a long breath and said loudly: "Song Nan, the Duke of Daming Town, came to the palace to see you.  "Please get out of the way." A general waved silently, and the soldiers opened a passage. At the end of the passage was the palace gate that was wide open. Two palace servants were standing inside the palace gate waiting as usual.  Check the palace waist card.  Song Nan got off his horse and strode towards the palace gate without squinting.   The court bell rang loudly. In front of the Fengtian Palace, civil and military officials gathered in twos and threes. This was the first court meeting in the past month. After the emperor became seriously ill, the morning court meeting became a formality. After everyone went to court, they only faced an empty room.  After bowing down to the dragon throne, he left the court and returned to the Yamen.  After the emperor became seriously ill, there were a lot of rumors in the court, and the issue of the new emperor became the focus of discussion. Even the fact that the imperial army was fighting a decisive battle with the rebels was put on the back burner; many of the rumors were detailed.  It was very clear, but as the few important officials in the court who knew the inside story, they remained silent.  Empress Dowager Zhang sat on the throne with a solemn expression, watching the ministers salute to her. There was no joy or sadness on her face. She sat on the throne where her seriously ill son usually sat, but in fact she had no interest in power at all.  **, all she thought about was how to continue the Ming Dynasty; although her seriously ill son made her feel very sad as a mother, this feeling was only for a short moment at a certain moment.  Talking about family ties in the royal family is a luxury. She needs to suppress her emotions, get through this period well, and wait for a new suitable candidate to sit on the throne. Then she will complete her mission and bring the future to the fountain.  She can also face her dead husband calmly.  "My lords, the Queen Mother has something important to announce when she comes to court today." Yang Tinghe came out to speak, with a small grass stem stuck to his hair just now when he lay on the ground at the city gate.  "As you all know, the emperor has been ill for many days. In recent days, he has been unable to get enough food. We and other ministers are all burning in their hearts and wish they could die in his place." Yang Tinghe's eyes were a little red, and many officials in the court  Start wiping tears.  "Tinghe knows that all of you are feeling uncomfortable, but the Queen Mother is suffering more than us. Tinghe, on behalf of the civil and military officials, asks the Queen Mother to take care of her health. Life and death are matters decided by heaven, and human power has no power to save her." "The Queen Mother, take care of yourself!"  The ministers said.  Empress Dowager Zhang nodded slightly and whispered: "The Ai family knows." Yang Tinghe turned back to look at the ministers and said: "The emperor is seriously ill, and all of you must be concerned about the selection of the emperor's heir. Tinghe will discuss this matter with all of you.  After many times, with the approval of the Queen Mother, the candidate was finally selected. The country must not have a king who is in charge. This matter is imminent. This morning, the court met with the emperor and discussed the matter with the emperor. Although the emperor could not speak, he could not speak.  I can see that he agrees with my suggestion. Originally, today's imperial edict on the selection of the new emperor was to be announced as a posthumous edict, but both the Queen Mother and the old minister thought that it would be better to announce it earlier to avoid suspicion and rumors in the court, which would lead to ulterior motives.  People take the opportunity to provoke chaos, so today the imperial meeting is to read this imperial edict to all your lords, and to announce it to the world and the people after the court. "Most officials are not surprised at all, but those who are far away from power are surprised.  The center, or the officials standing on the sidelines who couldn't even touch the surface, were extremely excited.  "Some people must say that it is inappropriate and even treasonous to announce the candidate for the new emperor while the emperor is still alive. I also have this idea, but tooHe said, this is exactly what the emperor meant. My emperor has always been worried about the candidate for the throne. An earlier announcement would be less troublesome, not to mention it is just an announcement. Naturally, the ministers hope that the emperor can recover as soon as possible. This section  I hope you adults understand this.  " The ministers buzzed slightly for a while, and someone whispered quietly. Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to buzz in private.  " The officials hurriedly shut up. Yang Tinghe glanced at the whole place with satisfaction, and was about to get down to the topic. Suddenly he heard someone say: "Yang Shoufu, I have a question.  " Yang Tinghe raised his eyes and saw that the speaker was Wu Miao, the new censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This gentleman was recommended by Yang Yiqing to serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was originally the governor of a certain state in the northwest. Yang Tinghe was questioned by Song Nan last time about Lu Wan and Liang  Chu¡¯s matter was a bit difficult to deal with, but he didn¡¯t jump out to object. ¡°Master Wu, do you have any questions?  "Wu Miao said: "Since such a big event was announced today, all the important ministers in the court should be in court. Didn't Mr. Yang find that Mr. Yang Yiqing, the Minister of War, and the two princes, Ying Gong and Zhen Guo Gong, did not come to the palace?  Without these three people present, the edict cannot be read.  "  The scenery in the palace is the same as before. Song Nan has entered and exited the Daming Gate countless times, but this time, it feels completely different. The familiar red walls and green tiles of the palace stand silently, and the lush green trees and red flowers are brilliant in the spring breeze.  In front of all these gorgeous and vibrant appearances, Song Nan saw the silence behind the vitality and smelled the decay behind the fragrance. The avenue in the palace was deserted. Song Nan and Wang Yong walked on the wide road.  The echo of his own footsteps lingered in his ears, which made people feel very bad. Since he already knew that Zhengde had been moved to the Yangxin Palace, Song Nan no longer went in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, but turned left and went straight to the Yangxin Palace.  Heart Hall. The Yangxin Hall is adjacent to the Cining Palace. It was originally a resting place for the emperor, and it was not the official residence of the emperor at all. It was inconsistent with the etiquette of the palace to move Zhengde here from the Qianqing Palace.  The reason for moving the palace was to facilitate his visit, and he said that in his dream, he had received instructions from the Bodhisattva, saying that the Emperor¡¯s residence in the Qianqing Palace was not conducive to the recovery of the dragon body, and that the Yangxin Palace was the best place to rest and recuperate, so he moved the palace to the palace.  The emperor moved to the Yangxin Hall. The motherly heart was certainly worthy of respect, and the ministers in the court would not object. Anyone who objected was because they did not want the emperor to recover. With the strong support of Yang Ting, Fei Hong and others, everything was carried out smoothly.  But Song Nan knew very well that this was actually putting Zhengde under his nose, so that every move of Zhengde, who was seriously ill, could not escape his control; a large number of eunuchs and guards in the Qianqing Palace were all people close to the emperor.  Instead of transferring these people or placing your own people in for surveillance, it would be better to move the emperor directly. The servants in the Yangxin Palace are all people appointed by the Queen Mother. In this way, Zhengde will be completely isolated from all the officials who come and go to visit.  They all need the approval of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager can shut out all those who don't want them to see the Emperor by simply saying, "The Emperor needs to rest for a while."  With his body left breathing, the only suspense is when he will die, whether today or tomorrow. On the outer steps of the Yangxin Hall, more than 20 knife-wielding officials stood with their hands crossed. Song Nan and Wang Yong appeared in front of the hall.  When they were on the steps, a group of people looked at the two of them with weapons at their waists, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Song Nan stood still and said in a deep voice, "You will send someone to report that Duke Song Nan wants to see the emperor.  " A chief official with a sword came forward and bowed his hands in salute: "The Queen Mother has decreed that the Emperor will not see any guests while he is recovering from illness.  " Song Nan shouted coldly: "What are you talking about? The emperor is seriously ill and I won't be allowed to visit him?  If you can't make the decision, go and report to the Queen Mother that Song Nan must see the Emperor today.  "The leader of the sword-bearing officers did not dare to make the decision without authorization. With a wink, the two sword-bearing officers hurriedly went down the steps to Cining Palace to ask for instructions. Wang Yong whispered in Song Nan's ear: "My lord, you must  Notify Wan Zhi quickly to prevent any unexpected events.  This situation seems wrong to me.  " Song Nan nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is exactly what I need you to do, but it seems that they are very well prepared. Wan Zhi and the Jinyiwei Dahan General Camp were transferred to Xiyuan. I am afraid that the guards are heavily guarded along the way.  If you are not allowed to go to Xiyuan, you will be stopped halfway.  "Wang Yong gritted his teeth and said: "I have to go even if I can't go. I have to go even if my humble position means I have to fight my way out.  Song Nan shook his head and said: "That won't work. This is the palace. Once you take action, you will give them a reason to kill you. If the matter cannot be done, your life will be in vain."  Wang Yong stamped his feet and said, "What should we do?"  Song Nan said: "Go to Shouning Palace to see Princess Kangning immediately. I have a written letter here. Give it to the princess, and she will find a way to send you to Xiyuan; but you must be careful to keep an eye on her on the way to Shouning Palace."  people, otherwise I fear??They were on guard.  " Song Nan reached into his sleeve and thrust a square-folded letter into Wang Yong's hand. Wang Yong quickly stuffed the letter into his arms, cupped his hand towards Song Nan and whispered: "My lord, please be careful, you are the only one left.  I was very uneasy in my humble heart.  Song Nan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just having one more person can't guarantee my safety. Whether I can see Wan Zhi is the key. Go ahead."  Wang Yong said no more, walked up the steps and left. Seeing Song Nan and Wang Yong muttering for a long time, the chief swordsman in front of the palace stretched his neck to eavesdrop, but their voices were too quiet, so they couldn't listen.  It's unclear what they said; but when he saw Wang Yong suddenly turning around and leaving, the leader of the swordsman knew something was fishy. He slightly waved his hand and made a gesture towards the bushes on the side of the hall. Song Nan glanced there out of the corner of his eye.  Several figures appeared from behind the tree shadows and flowerbeds, chasing Wang Yong's back. Song Nan was secretly surprised. In order to deal with his arrival, the Queen Mother and Yang Tinghe did not know how many people they had arranged to watch in secret. It can be said that they were careful and painstaking.  ¡­ Two sword-bearing officers who went to Cining Palace to report the news came in a hurry and whispered a few words in the ear of the chief sword-bearing officer. The chief sword-bearing officer nodded, turned to Song Nan and cupped his hands:  "My lord, the Queen Mother has just gone to the Fengtian Palace to meet with the ministers, but she cannot invite you. Without the permission of the Queen Mother, the humble rank cannot let you in.  " Song Nan was surprised. The Queen Mother went to Fengtian Palace to meet the ministers. It was obviously related to the edict. It seemed that she wanted to announce the edict in advance in front of the ministers. This was called chasing ducks to the shelves. After the edict was announced, it was announced to the world.  It's a foregone conclusion, it's a done deal, Song Nan said coldly: "I came back to the capital from a long way without a sip of tea. I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and I was even more worried. I came to the palace just to see the emperor.  This incident is actually quite common.  Since the Queen Mother is free, please let me in to see the Emperor first, and I will leave as soon as I see you. If the Queen Mother blames you later, I will go and take the responsibility for you.  " The leader of the sword-bearing officer shook his head and said: "That can't be done. The Queen Mother Yizhi said that if she lets people in without her permission and disturbs the emperor's rest, all our brothers will lose their heads.  Song Nan looked at him sideways and said, "Then you are not going to let me in?"  " The leader of the sword-bearing officer cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Zhenguo. I have my own difficulties even in lowly positions.  " Song Nan sighed and said: "That's all, you forced me to do this. This matter is a secret and I can't tell it. But you are trying to stop me in every possible way, and I can't do anything about it. Knowing this secret will not do you any good. If  So if you lose your head, don't blame me for not predicting what I said.  " The leader of the sword-wielding officer was a little confused. He looked at Song Nan and said with a smile: "Master Zhenguo, please don't scare me. We are just following orders. If you want to see the emperor, you can go to Fengtian Palace in person to ask for the Queen Mother's decree. I  Wait for natural release.  " Song Nan's face turned cold and he waved: "Come here.  " The leader of the sword-bearing officer said suspiciously: "What are you doing?  Song Nan said: "What's your name?"  " The leader of the sword-bearing officer said: "Master Zhenguo, I know that I have offended you today, but I can't do anything about it, so please bear with me.  " Song Nan said quietly: "Are you Chang Sheng, the chief swordsman of Cining Palace?  " The leader of the sword-bearing officer was startled, nodded and said: "It turns out that the Duke of Zhenguo knows the villain.  " Song Nan said: "Chang Sheng, come here, I'll tell you a reason why you have to let me in. If you don't listen, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life. Not only will you lose your head, but your parents, wives, children, relatives and friends will all  Gotta lose my head.  " Chang Sheng and the swordsmen looked at each other in confusion. One of the swordsmen whispered: "Brother Chang, go and listen to what he has to say. There is no harm in listening anyway. If it is a threat, we will ignore it.  .  " Chang Sheng hesitated and frowned, and finally walked down the steps to Song Nan. Song Nan waved and said, "Come here, I don't want anyone to hear this secret. The more people who know this secret, the greater the chance of losing their heads.  Chang Sheng frowned and said, "Master Zhenguo, please don't joke with the humble ministers. The humble ministers and others are just on errands."  "As he spoke, he stretched his head sideways. Song Nan smiled and said: "I understand, the secret is" Song Nan's voice suddenly lowered, and Chang Sheng couldn't hear clearly. He involuntarily moved his head and neck closer, and suddenly  Feeling the sound of wind on his neck, he instinctively jumped back to avoid it, but half a beat later, an arm had already tightly wrapped around his head and neck.  In the face of danger, seven or eight ways to get out of trouble have already flashed through his mind. The most effective one was subconsciously used. He grabbed the arm around his neck with one hand and twisted it. The next moment, he crouched and flipped the enemy's arm.  However, his hand suddenly froze after using half of the force, because the top of his left temple.At the same time, Song Nan's cold voice sounded in his ears: "As soon as you move, I will smash your head to see if your head is stronger than the steel balls in my gun." Equipped by Jinyiwei  The double-barreled fire gun has long been famous all over the world, and its power is well known to everyone. Chang Sheng has secretly seen the power of the fire gun a long time ago. He doesn't need to think too much about whether his head is stronger or the steel ball is harder. The answer is obvious.  A sudden change occurred. No one present expected that the majestic Duke of Daming Town would actually launch a sneak attack. After a brief period of astonishment, the sword-bearing officers on the steps reacted one after another, drew their swords and rushed down from the steps, surrounding Song Nan.  live.  Chang Sheng raised his hands and shouted: "My lord, what are you doing? I have never offended you in my humble position. I am only ordered to guard Yangxin Palace, but I don't mean any disrespect to my lord." Song Nan said coldly.  : "Of course I know that you are acting under orders. I am afraid that the order you received is not to allow me, Song Nan, to see the emperor. I don't want to waste time with you, so I have to use you as a hostage." Chang Sheng shouted: "The Duke of the State.  Master, what's the point of taking me? They still won't let you in. You're breaking into the emperor's chamber without permission. This is a treasonous crime." Song Nan hit his head with a firecracker and shouted: "Nonsense, I am.  How could the majestic Duke break into the emperor's chamber privately? I am here to meet the emperor according to his secret decree, but someone wants to stop me from seeing the emperor. " Chang Sheng said: "Master, why did you make up this lie to deceive us?  You were fighting the rebellion in the south. The Emperor moved to the Yangxin Palace more than ten days ago. The Emperor is seriously ill and can't speak. How can I give you any secrets? " Song Nan spat: "I knew it would be a waste of time to talk to you.  , even if I tell you the reason, you won¡¯t believe it, so I took you as a hostage. You should know that Mr. Zhang, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, left the palace for a few days. Do you know what he did? " Chang Sheng was strangled so hard that he couldn't breathe and became mute.  He raised his voice and said: "There are rumors in the palace that Zhang Yong colluded with the traitor Zhu Chenhao. I heard that the rebels were wiped out and fled out of fear of crime." Song Nan cursed: "Bah, you knew you would be detained in the shit basin. Zhang Yong is not a person who absconds in fear of crime.  , he went to tell me the secret decree on the emperor's order, and someone insisted on framing him. They were creating rumors to confuse the public. I know it is a waste of words to tell you this, but since I promised to tell you this secret, I will.  I must tell you, get out of my way now. I am here to meet you according to the emperor's imperial edict. Anyone who dares to block it is defying the edict. The first person to die will be you, Chang Sheng. " Although Chang Sheng and others had doubts in their hearts, Song Nan did.  As they say, he has a nose and eyes. Zhang Yong did come to see the emperor before disappearing. Could it be that he was ordered by the emperor that day?  That's not right. It is said that the emperor was speechless and didn't say a word to Zhang Yong. How could he issue a secret edict?  Song Nan didn't have time to waste time with them. He took Chang Sheng hostage and walked into the Yangxin Hall. The two on-duty servants at the door had long been frightened and disappeared. There were also shouts and footsteps in the Yangxin Hall. It was obvious that the guards in the hall were  Song Nan was also on the way; Song Nan ignored him and rushed into the palace with Chang Sheng hostage, shouting: "The Duke of Daming Town has an audience with the emperor's secret decree. Anyone who blocks his way will be punished for rebelling against the decree. The whole family will be executed and the nine tribes will be killed."  "
