    Zhengde's eyes were wandering and he didn't know where he was looking. "The two of them once mentioned a candidate. King Huaixian of Raozhou Prefecture had a posthumous son alive. King Houtao of Huaixian died in the second year of Zhengde. The posthumous son Zhu Zaiyu came  The throne belongs to King Huai Gong, who is not yet seven years old this year. šIIt is said that Princess Huai is extremely virtuous and has never been arrogant towards the child. She hired a famous teacher to teach him martial arts. The child is also quite famous in the local area at such a young age.  Yang Yiqing and Zhang Lun felt that this son was a suitable candidate for adoption as the emperor's heir. I sent people to secretly investigate what they said. They did not exaggerate. This son was indeed a good candidate.  " Song Nan nodded and said: "I have heard about this. The last time I went to Jiangxi to secretly investigate King Ning's rebellion, there were many followers of the princes in Jiangxi, but they had not heard of King Huaigong's rebellion. Look.  It is very rare to come to the lineage of Prince Huai Gong to clean up his body, which is very rare in Jiangxi." Zhengde nodded and said, "What do you think? Is Prince Huai Gong too young?" Song Nan said, "I have no objection.  The emperor thinks it is suitable. I think the reason why Yang Yiqing and the British Duke recommended this candidate is because both King Huai and the emperor are from the lineage of King Yan, and they are similar in blood;  Judging from the generation sequence, Prince Huaigong is the emperor's nephew, and he is a good candidate to succeed the emperor. Secondly, this son has a good reputation, and he can keep himself clean and avoid causing trouble with Prince Ning, which is even more rare.  Well, for the third reason, I would like to say frankly that since King Huai is dead, there will be no chance that his father will take over the government after the new emperor comes to the throne. Zhu Chenhao once had such an idea, and wanted to use his son to adopt him as his heir.  In summary, I think there is no problem with the above three points. I wonder what the emperor thinks?" Zhengde nodded slightly and said: "That makes sense. I have also taken this into consideration. Since you have no objection, the candidate has been decided.  Now that this is a big deal, you should assist him in the future and make him a good emperor. Don'tdon't be like me." Song Nan whispered: "Your Majesty, why did you say this?" Zhengde covered his head.  He coughed several times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gasped: "I have a third thing. I know that there is no connection between you and the emperor's sister. After my death, the emperor's sister will be alone. The days to come will definitely be  Torture. Sister Huang is already twenty-three this year and has long passed the age of marriage. Besides, her relationship with you has also damaged her reputation. You bear a big responsibility for this matter. " Song Nan.  Shame said: "I deserve to die, I have a request." Zhengde said: "You say it." Song Nan said: "I ask the emperor to issue an order to allow me to marry the princess and let me make up for my mistakes." Zhengde said slowly: "  Do you want to establish a wife? This is absolutely impossible in our Ming Dynasty. Are you not afraid of being criticized by everyone?" Song Nan said: "Even if I am criticized by thousands of people, I can't abandon the princess, but the emperor can forgive me.  An improper act, I will fulfill my wish. I will devote my whole life to the Ming Dynasty royal family and plan for the eternal survival of the Ming Dynasty." Zhengde sighed, silently, and the room was filled with the sound of Zhengde's heavy and difficult breathing.  After a long time, Zhengde suddenly shouted: "Song Nan, I asked you to write it, and I will establish a testamentary edict." Song Nan got up hurriedly, and the little palace maid who had been standing aside quickly found pen, ink, paper and inkstone, ground the ink and laid out the paper.  , Song Nan held the pen and hovered, waiting for Zhengde to speak.  Zhengde leaned on the bedside, his eyes were lonely, the color on his face began to fade, his hands and feet were shaking slightly uncontrollably, but he still spoke every word in his mouth.  He said something, Song Nan wrote something, and a moment later, the edict was written.  "Bring it herelet me have a look." Zhengde said vaguely.  Song Nan hurriedly displayed the imperial edict in front of Zhengde. Zhengde's distracted eyes wandered over the imperial edict, and sighed: "Bring me a pen." Song Nan handed the cinnabar pen to Zhengde's hand, and Zhengde's hand could no longer hold the pen.  With Song Nan's help, he reluctantly drew a circle at the bottom, and then the cinnabar pen landed on the paper with a clatter, smearing a big red dot on the blank space below.  "I'm leaving" Zhengde's breathing began to quicken, his face became more and more gloomy, and his breathing became heavier, with a whistling sound in his throat, like the mountain wind blowing through the pine waves, like the cold current passing through the trees.  tip.  "I'm leaving" Zhengde repeated.  Song Nan held Zhengde's hand and called with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zhengde's hand also held Song Nan's hand tightly, and his nails dug into Song Nan's flesh: "Song Nan you must remember  Justpromise to meotherwiseI will die with my eyes closed." "I will remember the emperor's words. Your Majesty, don't worry" "Mythis lifeis too short, just like the fireworks in front of the Qianqing Palace on the Lantern Festival.  It went out quickly, Song Nanlookthe fireworksare very beautiful." "Your MajestyYour Majesty" Song Nan called in a low voice.    "Open the curtains and let me take a look at the sun outside." Song Nan quickly stood up and opened the heavy curtains. Strong light suddenly filled the house, and the rear window was facing the conservatory in the back garden.  , the green trees are swaying, the spring flowers are really red, and it is a beautiful spring scene.  A few bees buzzed and danced near the window edge, hovered for a moment, and then buzzed away.  Zhengde looked at the spring scenery outside, his eyes full of nostalgia, and his stiff lips moved. Song Nan put his ears to listen carefully, but heard Zhengde whisper: "This world is too wonderful, I really don't want to  Leave." After saying these two words with difficulty, his limbs began to spasm. Song Nan panicked, but had no idea what to do. She could only watch as his face turned purple and the sound of heavy breathing disappeared. Song Nan stretched out her hand softly.  Checking his breathing, there was no breath left.  Song Nan sat slumped on the edge of the bed, her eyes were blurred, hot tears rolled down her face, she covered her face and lost her voice in pain.    Outside the Yangxin Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials surrounded the Queen Mother. Luan Jia had arrived. Nearly a thousand people who had mobilized forks and knife-bearing guards also arrived. Under the command of Zhang Wei and Tan You, the Yangxin Hall  They were quickly surrounded by these soldiers and horses from front to back, left and right, and they were in a tense posture.  Queen Mother Zhang immediately wanted to go to the Yangxin Hall after getting off the Luanjia, but was quickly persuaded by Yang Tinghe and others.  "Empress Dowager, Song Nan broke into the Yangxin Hall with a firearm in his hand. If he breaks in rashly, it may be detrimental to the emperor. I will wait for the ministers to understand the reason first and persuade Song Nan to come out to make plans." Queen Mother Zhang said in a daze.  : "Do you really think that Song Nan will be harmful to the emperor?" Yang Tinghe said: "Before today, the veteran might have had the same view as the Queen Mother, but today Song Nan forced his way through the city gate, and then disobeyed the Queen Mother's decree and broke into the Yangxin Palace.  , I have to worry. This person's heart is as unpredictable as a deep pool, and I think it is better to be careful." Empress Dowager Zhang was silent for a while and said: "That's all, I'll just follow you, be careful and don't make you angry.  I killed this man and let him hurt the emperor." Yang Tinghe cupped his hands and said, "Old minister, I obey." Yang Tinghe turned around and discussed with Fei Hong, Liang Chu and others in a low voice. The three of them came to Yangxin surrounded by dozens of soldiers.  On the steps of the main entrance of the palace, Yang Tinghe held his chest high and folded his hands, shouting loudly into the Yangxin Palace: "Song Nan, please come out of the palace to speak. Your trip today is really inappropriate. If you scare the emperor, you will be a sinner for the ages. Queen Mother  The civil and military officials are waiting outside the palace for you to come out and explain the reason. Don't be impulsive." There was silence in the palace. Yang Tinghe shouted again: "Song Nan, I know you can hear me. You want to see the emperor, and he needs to rest.  , Don¡¯t bother him, important matters in the court need you to discuss and decide together.¡± There was still no response from the palace.  Yang Tinghe was a little embarrassed, and finally said angrily: "Song Nan, as an important minister of the imperial court, you acted without regard for decorum and took hostages to forcefully break into the Yangxin Palace. This is already a heinous crime. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, you know the consequences. I advise you.  You still have to speak out. You are a great minister of the imperial court. The Queen Mother will definitely remember your contribution and will not punish you severely. But if you insist on going your own way and have the idea of ??kidnapping the Emperor while he is critically ill, then it is really an unforgivable crime.  "There was some commotion among the ministers. Yang Tinghe directly called Song Nan's intrusion into the Yangxin Palace as an attempt to kidnap and harm the emperor. This was a big hat, and no amount of merit could cover it.  There were noisy sounds in the hall, and after a moment, Song Nan's figure appeared in the corridor of the front hall of Yangxin Hall. Beside him, dozens of guards with swords followed him eagerly. Song Nan was unaware, and his expression  He quietly walked out of the palace step by step. Next to him was a little palace maid who lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't know why the palace maid followed him out.  "Come out, come out." The ministers whispered in a commotion.  Yang Tinghe glanced sideways at Zhang Wei and Tan You. The two understood and whispered the order: "Listen to the order, but as soon as the order is given, capture this person immediately." Song Nan came to the steps in front of the Yangxin Hall, stood still, and came down to the hall from a high position.  The densely packed officials and eager soldiers glanced around, and everyone saw the coldness in his eyes. It was like a cold sharp knife cutting everyone's face, which made people feel frightened and frightened.  "Song Nan, the Queen Mother is here, why don't you see the Queen Mother?" Yang Tinghe shouted in a low voice.  Song Nan glanced at him coldly, then turned to the Queen Mother Zhang who was standing not far away. Her eyes were full of pity and contempt, but she still bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Song Nan, has met the Queen Mother." Queen Mother Zhang shouted: "  Song Nan, what did you do to the emperor?" Song Nan said indifferently: "Does the Queen Mother really care about the Emperor?" Queen Mother Zhang said angrily: "Bold, what are you talking about?" Song Nan said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother may really be.  Those who care about the emperor are good??, in this case, let me inform the Queen Mother of the Emperor's current situation. The Emperor has already passed away.  "    "What?  " "The emperor is buried in heaven?  " "What's going on?  "The ministers were in an uproar. Empress Dowager Zhang, Yang Tinghe and others were all in a daze. "Is thisserious?  "Yang Tinghe said in a trembling voice. Song Nan's eyes were filled with tears and she remained silent. Yang Tinghe picked up his robe and stepped into the hall. After a moment, he heard a cry of sorrow: "Your Majesty" The ministers finally believed what Song Nan said.  Really, the sound of crying in front of the Yangxin Hall was loud. The ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Yangxin Hall. The sound of crying was deafening. Queen Mother Zhang stood blankly with her mouth open, tears rolling in her eyes.  , she screamed: "The emperor was fine this morning, Song Nan, but after you broke into the emperor's chamber, the emperor died and said, what did you do to the emperor?"  My lords, if you don't order someone to take him down for torture, why don't you ask Aijia to do it yourself?  " The ministers immediately stopped their mourning. Liang Prince Fei Hong and others pointed at Song Nan and shouted: "Yes, tell me, how did you murder the emperor?  Although the emperor is seriously ill, he will not die so soon. You must have broken into the emperor's room and done something evil.  You thief, how can I tolerate you today?  " "Say it, say it quickly.  " "This thief must be cut into pieces, but he dares to murder the emperor.  " "Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts, it turns out that this person is the biggest traitor.  " Some civil servants started making noises, pointing at Song Nan and shouting angrily with tears on their faces; but more people remained silent. People with a little knowledge didn't believe that Song Nan would kill the king for no reason. Song Nan did this.  There is no reason. Song Nan sneered: "Sure enough, if this heinous crime falls on me, Song Nan, I am afraid that the whole family will be executed. I knew you would do this. I have seen through you people.  Got you.  Before and after the emperor's funeral, I was not the only one beside the emperor. This Liugong person was always waiting by the side. You should ask her how the emperor died.  " Only then did everyone notice the little palace maid next to Song Nan. Queen Mother Zhang asked sternly: "Liu Yu'er, tell the Aijia how the emperor was buried? Don't be afraid, the Aijia will make the decision for you, you don't have to.  Being held hostage by others.  " The little palace maid Liu Yu'er has never spoken in front of so many ministers and people. At this moment, she was at a loss and frightened. Song Nan said warmly: "Mr. Liu, please tell me what you saw and heard. Don't make up or hide it.  " The little palace maid Liu Yu'er took a few deep breaths, stabilized her mood and raised her head boldly. She quickly glanced at the dark head in front of her and said in a low voice: "This gentleman did break into the emperor's bedroom with a firearm and ordered the servants to take care of him.  The hands and feet of the father-in-law and sister in the house were tied and their mouths were gagged.  " "Sure enough, Song Nan, you are really rebelling.  Yang Tinghe said coldly. Song Nan frowned and said, "Do you want to listen to her or to you?"  " Yang Tinghe snorted coldly and stopped talking. The little palace maid Liu Yu'er continued: "The emperor was asleep at first. After the master entered the room, the emperor woke up soon and talked a lot with the master. The servants also  I can't understand what they are talking about.  After that, the emperor suddenly became ill. After saying a few words, he died.  " There was silence on the court. Although the words of the young palace maid were brief, everyone could already imagine the situation before the emperor's death. After meeting Song Nan, he said some words, perhaps explained some funeral arrangements, and then passed away peacefully. From this point of view,  The emperor seemed to be waiting for Song Nan's return. After seeing Song Nan, he passed away with peace of mind. "Liu Yu'er, is this the case?  If you deliberately conceal any details, the Ai family will not forgive you.  "Empress Dowager Zhang said coldly. The little palace maid knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Empress Dowager, if I dare to hide anything, I will cut my servant into pieces with a thousand knives.  " "Didn't Song Nan threaten the emperor or anything?  Don't be afraid, Aijia makes the decision for you here. He may threaten you and say these things, but he doesn't make the decision here, so you don't need to be afraid of him.  "Empress Dowager Zhang said to herself. The little palace maid said: "Empress Dowager, this servant is telling the truth. This lord did not do anything to the emperor. The emperor was very good to him. The two of them talked a lot.  " Queen Mother Zhang looked unhappy and wanted to speak again. Song Nan said coldly: "Queen Mother, don't you think your behavior is a bit ridiculous?  What are your intentions in trying to pin the blame for the emperor's death on me?  " Empress Dowager Zhang realized that she was indeed making trouble unreasonably, so she kept silent and turned to look at Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe had been listening quietly and said nothing, but in fact, he was already feeling uneasy in his heart. The emperor was actually sober before his death.  , and also talked a lot with Song Nan, and the content was naturally about the arrangements for state affairs and family affairs, which was really worrying.; "The old minister thinks that the matter of Mr. Song will be put aside for the time being. Since the emperor has passed away, there are many important things to be done now. The emperor's funeral must be prepared quickly. The other most important thing is the emperor's previous decision on the candidate for the throne.  The imperial edict needs to be promulgated immediately. The country cannot live without a king for a day. After the new emperor is announced, the ministers must immediately go to welcome the new emperor to the capital. There are so many things to do, so I must ask the Queen Mother to allow the old minister to announce the edict immediately. " Zhang  The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's right. First announce the edict, and then announce the news of the emperor's funeral. All the cabinet ministers will prepare separately for the new emperor and the emperor's funeral. The troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies must ensure that the funeral and the new emperor's funeral are held.  For the security of the capital during the period of taking the throne, a curfew may be implemented if necessary. Military and political officials in various places are strictly prohibited from moving and strictly guard the border towns of the headquarters. They are not allowed to mobilize troops at will. " Yang Tinghe nodded and promised, and he did not hesitate at the moment.  He took out the unread edict from the palace and shouted loudly: "The emperor's edict." The ministers knelt down and bowed their heads to listen.  Song Nan's sudden laughter rang out and resounded throughout the entire audience, making Queen Mother Zhang and the ministers both confused and angry.  Yang Tinghe said angrily: "Mr. Zhen Guo, when the emperor's edict was read out, you didn't kneel down to listen to the edict, but laughed wildly and lost your composure. How could it be unreasonable! You didn't kneel down to listen to the edict" Song Nan kept laughing and stretched out his hand to take it out from his arms.  A roll of paper came and he said loudly: "Master Yang wants to read out the will. Coincidentally, I also have a copy of the emperor's will to read out. This is really bizarre. How could the emperor make two wills?" Yang Tinghe was shocked.  , he did not expect that the emperor actually left a posthumous edict for Song Nan, and for a while he did not know how to deal with this situation.  The ministers who didn't know the inside story were also stunned. How come there were two posthumous edicts?  No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not issue two wills. What happened?  What's going on?  "Before his death, the emperor wrote down his edict word for word. He recorded it in his own handwriting and signed it with his own hand. This is the emperor's edict. But where did the edict in Yang Shoufu's hand come from, I don't know." Song Nan said coldly.  .
