Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Yang Yiqing finished speaking, he raised his hands and bowed to Song Nan, saying: "Mr. Zhen Guo, please read out the emperor's edict.£¤f" Song Nan nodded slightly, looked across the dark square full of heads, gently arranged his clothes and hats, and looked towards  Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Queen Mother, please allow me to read out the imperial edict." Empress Dowager Zhang licked her red lips nervously and said in a hoarse voice: "It is at the request of the Duke of Zhenzhen." Song Nan stopped looking at her and turned around, straightening her chest and holding her chest with one hand.  The edict was raised and loudly said: "The Holy Edict!" There was a sound of kneeling in the audience. Tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of ministers were prostrate on the ground and listened quietly.  Wan Zhi and Wang Yong assisted Song Nan in unfolding the long piece of silk paper. Song Nan stroked the edict with one hand and read it loudly.  "I know that my destiny has not been long. When I was dying, I secretly ordered Song Nan, the Duke of Zhenguo, to return to the capital. I have issued this edict by the order of the Ming Emperor. All the subjects will abide by it. If there is anyone who disobeys it, regardless of official title or status, he will be punished.  This can be regarded as treason and injustice, and everyone can impeach him. " "Since I came to the throne, I have experienced a lot, and the important ministers in the court have worked hard to assist me. Although there have been many troubles in this court, the country's foundation has not been lost, and all the ministers have been loyal to the king and served the country diligently.  , This is the foundation for the unyielding Ming Dynasty. As far as I am concerned, I have my merits and demerits, but I have no intention of judging myself. I will leave it to future generations to comment on my thoughts after my death.  They all confessed to Song Nan that although I have no regrets about life and death, I have no regrets in my heart." The ministers lay on the ground listening to these words, thinking in their minds. According to the meaning expressed in the emperor's edict, the emperor made peace with Song Nan before his death.  Had a long conversation.  The emperor knew that he would die soon, so he did not ask the Queen Mother to speak, nor did he ask the empress to speak, nor did he ask other ministers. He only "confessed his feelings" to Song Nan, which shows that the relationship between Song Nan and the emperor has gone beyond that between ministers and the emperor.  Relationships even transcend family ties and rise to another level.  "Everything that has happened since I became seriously ill has made me understand what it means to be human. I have always regarded the words and deeds of loyalty spoken by everyone as coming from the heart. But after I became seriously ill, what I heard  What I saw suddenly made me realize that it was not a lie that people's hearts are unpredictable. Before I died, I understood that people's hearts are unpredictable. Although I was a little disappointed, at least I died awake and not blinded, so I am still relieved. " "In view of this.  I have to respond to the situation in the DPRK. The Ming Dynasty was passed to me from my father, and I must pass it on safely. Any attempt to covet or harm the Ming Dynasty will be dealt with by me.  It is not allowed, even if you are an important minister in the court or a close relative in the palace, you can be unkind and unfaithful to me, but you cannot be unkind and unfaithful to the Ming Dynasty. This is my bottom line, and this is my final attitude. " Empress Dowager Zhang looked pale, she said.  It could be heard that although Zhengde did not mention his name, the so-called accusations of unkindness and disloyalty by his closest relatives in the palace were directed at him. Tears fell like broken pearls and wet the silk scarf under his chin.  Yang Tinghe and others below also understood who the so-called important ministers in the court were referring to. At this moment, they were lying on the ground. The panic of failure and the guilt for Zhengde surged into their hearts. There were mixed feelings in their hearts, and they were almost tempted when their emotions fluctuated.  Shout loudly.  "I have no heirs, so the selection of the emperor's heir has become the first major event in the court, so that the people in the court have been confused and confused. I am responsible for this matter. However, through this incident, my wolfish heart has been revealed to the world.  The traitor Zhu Chenhao wanted to seize the country and seize the throne, but he was exposed and rebelled. This is the best proof. During my serious illness, someone used my mouth to forge the so-called emperor's imperial edict. This matter was also reported in the Song Dynasty.  Nan verified the truth and I saw the fake edict with my own eyes. It really made me gnash my teeth and feel heartbroken. I will never allow the rebellious minister to act so boldly. The first thing I did with this edict was to order Song Nan to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out who was disrupting the government and causing trouble to the court.  Once a person is found out, no matter where he is, he will be severely punished according to the law. "This is the first time that the existence of a false edict has been confirmed from Zhengde's edict. Previously, in front of the Yangxin Hall,  When most officials heard that Song Nan said that the imperial edict in the hands of Yang Tinghe and others was a fake imperial edict, they were skeptical.  Rather than saying that they trust Yang Tinghe too much to not do such a thing, it is better to say that they actually reject and distrust Song Nan.  Even if Song Nan had the nose and eyes to recite the content of the edict, many people would just regard it as Song Nan's trick.  But now, the emperor's edict mentioned this matter, and the officials were shocked. It was really unbelievable that Yang Tinghe, a perfect person in the eyes of everyone, would do such a treasonous thing.  "I have already decided on the candidate for the throne. I have decided to make Huai Gong Wang Zhu Zaiyu the crown prince. After my funeral, Zhu Zaiyu will inherit the throne and rule the world. All ministers should spare no effort to assist the new emperor and let us have a great Ming Dynasty.  The country is stable and revitalized for generations to come. "The ministers finally knew who the future emperor was. Although King Huaigong was unknown and many people had never even seen him, once he was confirmed as the future new emperor, many people finally relaxed.  He breathed a sigh of relief; there have been debates and speculations about the selection of the emperor's heir a few years ago.??As for the series of bad events that led to Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, Yang Ting and Jiao Zhao, until now, the dust has finally settled and the family has fallen into disgrace.  No one thinks about what kind of person Zhu Zainuo is, whether he is mediocre or wise, and no one thinks about why Zhengde pays attention to him. There are hundreds of vassals in the Ming Dynasty, and the candidate for the throne falls on any one person.  None of them would be surprised.  Deep down, these ministers only knew one thing. As long as the person's surname was Zhu and he had the blood of Taizu, there was nothing to object to.  What's more, it was announced by the emperor's edict, so there is no doubt about it.  Song Nan also secretly paid attention to the reactions of the ministers. The candidate Zhu Zaiyu was originally a hasty choice of him and Yang Yiqing and Zhang Lun. Faced with the increasingly fierce battle for the emperor's heir, Song Nan had to recommend a candidate to participate in the competition, and  He didn't have an in-depth understanding of Zhu Zainong at all.  It was just that when he went to Jiangxi, he heard Wang Shouren praise the young prince. After returning to Beijing, when discussing with Yang Yiqing and Zhang Lun to recommend candidates, Song Nan just mentioned Zhu Zainuo's name casually, and Yang Yiqing and Zhang Lun  Zhang Lunding thought that Song Nan had already got to know the prince in depth, and then seriously discussed the matter with Zhengde, and Zhengde actually agreed.  When Song Nan heard this name before Zhengde's death today, he was actually very surprised. But now that the matter has come to this, Song Nan can only follow the trend, and this Zhu Zaihuan inexplicably became the future emperor. Even Song Nan  Nan himself thought it was too childish.  No matter what, the matter has been settled, and Song Nan has no time to think about the right or wrong of doing so; but after all, he has a guilty conscience, so he is so concerned about the reactions of the ministers.  Unexpectedly, everyone was calm, as if Zhu Zaiyu should have inherited the throne. This made Song Nan completely relieved.  "In view of the fact that Zhu Zainuo is still young and will not be able to manage the country personally after he takes the throne, I have made the following arrangements after careful consideration. I have appointed Song Nan, Zhang Lun, Yang Yiqing, and Lu Ji as the four ministers of Gu Ming to assist the new monarch in managing state affairs.  Until the new emperor takes charge of the affairs, he is given the title of Crown Prince Zhang Lun and a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace of Qing Dynasty. The ministers of Gu Ming are required to teach the new emperor carefully, and Song Nan is the chief minister of Gu Ming.  Gong Song Nan has devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty for many years and made great achievements. What is rare is that he is not arrogant but loyal to me. I am very pleased. Now Song Nan is awarded the title of Duke of Zhenguo, a Taibao, and the title of Fengtian Temple University. I hope that Song Nan  Remember to promise me that you will live up to my trust and assist the new emperor wholeheartedly so that my Ming Dynasty will prosper, so that I can comfort my ancestors." There was a sound of gasping in the square.  Although the British Duke Zhang Mao was given the title of Zhu Guo, Shaobao, etc. when he was still alive, it was not until his death that he was posthumously awarded the title of Prince of Ningyang.  And now, the twenty-four-year-old Zhen Guo Gong has been named the county king while he is still alive, which breaks many taboos in the history of the Ming Dynasty.  Any restrictions such as those with different surnames that cannot be crowned kings, living ministers that cannot be crowned kings, and restrictions on seniority and age were all broken to pieces.  At the same time, being conferred the title of Taibao is an honor for being one of the three most outstanding ministers, and the title of Grand Bachelor of Fengtian Palace is even more exciting.  There has never been a military general who was conferred the title of Grand Bachelor, and there has never been a title of Grand Bachelor of Fengtian Temple in the court.  Fengtian Hall is the main hall where hundreds of officials pay homage to the emperor. To be awarded the title of Grand Master of Fengtian Hall is something that was never done in the Ming Dynasty.  Everyone also understood the purpose of the imperial edict, which allowed Song Nan to have the status of a noble noble, a military commander, and a civil servant at the same time. In other words, Song Nan would be able to lead the ministers and issue orders, regardless of whether they were civil or military officials or clan officials.  Qi.  Before the new emperor ascends the throne and takes charge, Song Nan will be the leader of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. It can even be said that before the new emperor takes charge, Song Nan will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a truly invisible emperor with supreme power.  The ministers didn't know how they felt. Song Nan's ability was well known to everyone. With him, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be prosperous in the future. No one except him could control the current situation. However, this was the decline of imperial power after all. This  A touch of sadness arose in the hearts of many courtiers.  In addition to sadness, there are also hidden worries.  The new emperor was obviously assisted by Song Nan in ascending to the throne. Although there was no dispute when the emperor was young, in the future when the emperor is old and wants to take charge, whether Song Nan will be willing to transfer power to the emperor is a question; by then,  Will there be another violent storm in the Ming Dynasty?  Will the Ming Dynasty experience another power catastrophe? Will Song Nan have controlled all the power of the Ming Dynasty by then, will he depose the emperor and stand on his own, will he be addicted to power and be unable to extricate himself?  No one can give an answer.  The reading of the imperial edict continued, and Song Nan's voice still echoed in the square, each word clearly reaching the ears of the officials and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.  "I am about to pass away. I am relieved that Song Nan, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Lun and others are in charge of the government affairs of the DPRK. I also believe that Song Nan and others will not disappoint my expectations. For the Ming Dynasty, I can rest assured. I am the only one.  The ones who can't feel at ease are the queen mother and Kang Ning; in recent years, TaiI am extremely disappointed by what the Queen Mother did. Although some people used the Queen Mother to achieve personal goals and she was suspected of being deceived by others, the Queen Mother went against the ancestral precepts and participated in politics in the harem, which caused great disaster to the court and almost caused the throne of the emperor to fall into the hands of a wolf.  Hands, I am really heartbroken.  " Empress Dowager Zhang stood in the darkness on one side with a pale face, her body crumbling. Kang Ning on the side reached out to help her, but she shook her hands and broke away. She stood stubbornly on the spot. "However, no matter how big her fault is, she is still my mother.  , the mother's fault is my fault. Although I feel sad, I cannot bear to punish her severely.  I hereby make a legacy. From now on, no one in the harem will be allowed to participate in government affairs. Anyone who violates this rule will not be tolerated.  The Queen Mother should be punished for her transgressions. After my death, I asked the Queen Mother to move to the Jiefu Palace in Xiyuan. From then on, she was not allowed to interfere with government affairs or set foot in the palace. Other than that, all services should be provided as usual, and no neglect was allowed.  " The ministers were silent, and Queen Mother Zhang's face was pale and her tears rolled out; she understood that she would spend the rest of her life in the Jiefu Palace on the island in the center of Xiyuan Lake. She was not crying because she was going to spend the rest of her life in the cold palace.  , she regretted her stupidity, not seeing the situation clearly, and being taken advantage of. When her son was dying, she was still jumping up and down to help Yang Tinghe and others, so that the emperor could not get comfort when he was dying, and he also lost his love for her.  Mother's love. No pain can be compared with being abandoned by a son. Although Zhengde's last edict did not have many fierce words, it was this indifference that made Empress Dowager Zhang taste Zhengde's disappointment in herself.  , the only person I don¡¯t care about is Princess Kangning. The princess has a sweet and naive temperament and never fights with others. When I was alive, I could protect the princess and live a stable life, but when I am gone, the princess will be alone and kind-hearted.  , I am afraid that he will be bullied, and I feel very uneasy.  The imperial sister is old and unmarried, and has passed the age of marriage. Her future is what I am most concerned about.  In the early years, some people secretly spread rumors about the relationship between the emperor and Song Nan. Although I strictly stopped it, there were unavoidable differences of opinion and the situation became more serious.  In order to consider the future of the imperial sister, and at the same time to quell the unfounded rumors outside and stop everyone's mouth, I have sought Song Nan's opinion and made the following decision. I have approved Song Nan's request and authorized the Zhenguo County Prince's Palace to set up the position of the left and right lady. Song Nan has been approved.  Invited to marry Princess Kang Ning, I entered the town and became Mrs. Zuo. From now on, Song Nan will shoulder the responsibility of taking care of Kang Ning for me. She must love and respect her and take good care of her. The royal sister herself must also respect her elders and abide by them.  Women should look after their husbands and raise their children. They should not be arrogant and domineering as a royal family. They should be the first model of women in the world.  " The ministers' mouths couldn't close. The emperor's edict actually allowed Song Nan to have the right and left wives, just to marry Princess Kangning to Song Nan. The Ming Dynasty decree stipulated that men in the Ming Dynasty were only allowed to have one head wife, and Song Nan was allowed to have the right and left wives.  , which is to let Song Nan have two wives, and do this without modifying the Ming Dynasty Order. This is an act that blatantly violates the Ming Dynasty Order. Some courtiers who are familiar with historical allusions can't help but think that this kind of thing about left and right wives is only in the Western Jin Dynasty.  The powerful minister Jia Chong had done it, and Jia Chong had committed rebellion and regicide, but I don't know if the emperor had any deep meaning in doing so. But in fact, the intention of righteousness is not that profound, and righteousness is not at all.  I don¡¯t know what Jia Chong has done. He spent most of his short life eating, drinking and having fun, and how much of the remaining time he spent studying and studying history. This Madam¡¯s favor, Zhengde is basically to make Kang Ning  He could marry Song Nan legitimately, and he didn't even know about the violation of the Ming Dynasty order. Although Song Nan knew something was wrong when he recorded it, he would never remind Zhengde that it was inappropriate.  He made up his mind to amend the Ming Dynasty Order when the situation stabilized, allowing people above the duke to appoint left and right wives to prevent boring people from making noises. People's eyes focused on Kang Ning, who was kneeling beside the Queen Mother. Kang Ning lowered his head and body.  Trembling slightly, her face was already filled with tears. Years of long-cherished wish finally came true today. When the emperor was dying, Song Nan finally got his permission and properly arranged her future. Tears of joy were shed on her face.  ; But at the same time, I was already mourning the emperor's funeral, and hearing that the emperor arranged for me so carefully made my heart hurt even more. The hot tears flowing on my face can also be said to be tears of grief; intertwined with joy and sorrow.  With tears in his eyes, Kang Ning fell on the ground and kowtowed gently. "I am extremely disappointed and angry by Yang Ting, the cabinet minister, and Fei Hong, the governor of Liang Dynasty. During my serious illness, they formed a party and plotted to seduce the queen mother without telling me. They behaved improperly and were responsible."  I planned to severely punish them for their kindness, but I considered that Yang Tinghe and others had also worked hard for the country, and I was really embarrassed when I thought about this.  Even if a person is about to die, his words are good. I leave this matter to Song Nan to handle according to the law. However, Song Nan needs to take into account everyone's past merits and act accordingly. However, it is not unforgivable if he can correct his mistakes and try his best to serve the court in the future.  I will pass away soon. I hope that all of you will not betray my trust and do your best for the continuation of our Ming Dynasty for eternity. In the future, you will see me at the foot of the spring. When you and I meet and smile, I hope you can say a word about me.  Tried my best, ?It is enough if you have no regrets.  Admire this!  " "Long live my emperor!  "The ministers kowtowed to the ground and shouted loudly. The long edict was finally read out. Everyone's hearts were churning and it was difficult to calm down. Everyone understood that this edict announced the arrival of a new era, not only for the new emperor.  The upcoming dynasty change is also the era when Song Nan is in charge of the government. From now on, Song Nan is the actual first person in the Ming Dynasty. Zhengde clearly established this in his edict. Many people secretly sighed that the emperor was dying.  In fact, they were confused before. In this case, who could curb Song Nan's power in the future? But they were just sighing and worrying. At this time, no one would come out to point out this, and that would be asking for death.  Everything Nan did was justified, and everything came from Zhengde's mouth. It seemed that Song Nan was just a passive recipient, and there was no way to accuse him. Song Nan gently closed the edict and walked towards the ministers. Everyone was surprised.  He walked up to Yang Ting, Fei Hong and others with his eyes, presented the imperial edict, and said in a low voice: "Yang Chief Assistant, you are still the chief assistant of the cabinet at this moment. I ask you to check whether this imperial edict is true or not. The emperor is still kind to you in his heart."  Darling, I hope you haven't lost your last loyalty. Take a good look at it and tell everyone whether my part is true or your so-called edict is true.  " Yang Tinghe's face was tired and his skin was sagging. Overnight, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have aged more than ten years. He finished the edict with trembling hands, read it carefully, and carefully read the signature of Zhengde on his deathbed, and said in a hoarse voice for a long time.  : "This edict is indeed true.  I have failed to live up to my holy will. I deserve to die. The edict I had before was false.  "
