    Song Nan looked at Yang Tinghe and said quietly: "Master Yang, as a veteran of two dynasties, the head of the civil servants of the outer court, and the chief assistant of the inner court, this has given the officials of the Ming Dynasty a very bad start. ¡ü Ming Dynasty  Among the thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, I believe everyone who says they are correcting their edicts, but the only thing I didn't expect was that you, Mr. Yang, would do this. Mr. Yang is a person who is respected and respected by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. You did this.  , Not only did you destroy yourself, but you also destroyed the faith in the hearts of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty." Yang Tinghe looked into the void and said softly: "I can't help myself, Song Nan, you know why I do this, you know better than me.  "Song Nan smiled and said: "Of course I know that you are just trying to fight me. You are worried that if you don't take such extreme measures to gain an advantage in the selection of the new emperor, you will be cornered by me in the future.  Well, now that we have reached this point, there is no need to hide these words. It is not a personal grudge between you and me, and it is not a situation that I, Song Nan, would like to see in the Ming Dynasty. I would like to ask you, Yang Tinghe, about these eight things.  In the past few years, the court has experienced many turmoils, people have been displaced, and people's livelihood has been difficult. In your opinion, what caused this? " Yang Tinghe shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, I think I have done my best. " Song Nan.  He sneered and said: "You dare not say it, I will say it for you. Natural disasters are terrible, and ** is even more terrible. All of this is caused by **. I once said in front of the emperor that the emperor himself is responsible. But, even greater  The responsibility lies with the civil and military ministers in the court. I don¡¯t need to go into details about everything that the Ming Dynasty has experienced for a hundred years, but one thing is that in the prosperous times, the ministers selflessly governed the Qingming people and everyone was loyal. But in today¡¯s dynasty,  How many people can be selfless, loyal and honest? If they are selfish in their hearts, they will naturally act unfairly. The current situation has become like this because of selfishness. " Yang Tinghe was silent, frowning, trying to keep his face calm.  But the corners of his mouth kept twitching.  "Mr. Yang must definitely want to say that I, Song Nan, am just rhetoric. I must also want to say that I, Song Nan, also have selfish motives. Yes, I do have selfish motives. Who doesn't want to be well-dressed, well-educated, and have a good family? Who doesn't want to have a beautiful wife and a house full of gold and silver?"  ? To tell you the truth, this was my goal once upon a time, but let me tell you, I stopped thinking so a few years ago, but I will not ignore the overall situation because of my personal selfishness.  In order to selfishly squeeze the blood and sweat of the people, I believe that you probably know my family background better than I do. Mr. Yang, please speak your conscience in front of tens of thousands of people. Over the years, have I, Song Nan, ever done anything oppressive?  Common people, harming the imperial court?" The civil servants frowned and thought carefully, they suddenly realized that their rejection and hatred of Song Nan were actually unreasonable. Song Nan had indeed not done anything to harm the interests of the imperial court in so many years.  , why do I hate him so much that I want to get rid of him quickly?  Yang Tinghe slowly raised his head and said: "Mr. Zhenguo, please don't forget that Liu Jin brought disaster to the country and the people, and was the source of the troubles in this dynasty. If you hadn't been a hindrance, the cabinet's chief assistant, Liu Dashi, Xie Dashi, would have eradicated him long ago. How could there have been anything like this later?"  Isn't he causing trouble for the imperial court?" Song Nan sneered: "I knew you were going to say this. Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, Li Dongyang led the cabinet to write a letter to eradicate the Eight Tigers. I don't know whether it was an honor or a sorrow.  I was just a small figure at that time, and I was also targeted by you. My name, Song Nan, was actually on the list of eradication. It is true that if you had succeeded, today your outer court family would naturally be the dominant one.  There may be less disputes in the court, but let me ask you, what was the original intention of the cabinet to impeach the Eight Tigers? " Yang Tinghe said: "Of course it is to eliminate the sycophants around the emperor and prevent them from deceiving the emperor.  and behavior, so that the emperor can focus on governing the country instead of having fun." Song Nan laughed and said: "What a reason for the crown. I don't deny the authenticity of the purpose you said, but you understand in your heart.  , this is not the main reason, the main reason is the selfishness I mentioned before. The essence of the matter is that you want the emperor to be controlled by the cabinet like the previous emperor, and be controlled by you. What you need is the power of the cabinet.  Above all else, you will spare no effort to suppress all forces that want to break this situation, and kill them quickly." Song Nan's voice became cold, looking directly at Yang Tinghe and continued: "Master Yang, you dare to tell the cabinet's motives.  Is it simple? The emperor was not under your control when he succeeded to the throne, and he did not want to be at your mercy like the previous emperor. Isn't this why you gathered together to attack him, hoping to kill all the so-called Eight Tigers and everyone else who could influence the emperor?  Is it light? Many people secretly call me the murderous devil, but in fact, the people I kill are all on the battlefield. They are pure killings, killings for the victory of the war, and the real killings are without batting an eye.  In fact, it¡¯s you, you don¡¯t need to use a knife, you just use your tongue, hand over a few pieces of white paper, and someone¡¯s head will fall to the ground. This method of killing is much better than us.¡±nbsp; Yang Tinghe said sternly: "But what happened next? What kind of person did Liu Jin become? Was the cabinet's impeachment wrong? What did Liu Jin do?" Song Nan sneered: "People can change.  Liu Jin didn't deserve to die at the beginning, but he died later, so he died. It's not because you have a good vision to predict his future. Let me tell you something that Mr. Yang doesn't like to hear. Mr. Yang once swore to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but could he have predicted it?  To this day, you will still act according to the edict and commit the crime of treason? If you can predict the destiny, you know who will be a traitor and evil person in the future, why don't you just leave them in their infancy to feed the tigers and wolves? Wouldn't the world always be pure and peaceful?"  Yang Tinghe was speechless. Although he was full of knowledge, he seemed to have never defended Song Nan. The reason given by this person seemed absurd, but in fact it was difficult to refute it when he thought about it.  "Master Yang, you all claim to be loyal ministers, straight ministers, and selfless people at heart, but you know in your heart that today's situation is nothing more than your attempt to use the opportunity of the new emperor's accession to the throne to repeat your old tricks, and to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty.  It is in your hands and no one else can get involved; for this purpose, you do not hesitate to make chaos and fight with war. You see, your selfishness has led to this disaster, and all the chaos in this dynasty also stem from various causes.  It¡¯s time to reflect on the consequences of the struggle for power. If we don¡¯t change, the Ming Dynasty will be over. It¡¯s really over. If the imperial court is over, why are we still fighting for power?  Is it necessary?" Song Nan's voice was low, full of deep helplessness.  "But the emperor has entrusted the government to you, can you guarantee that you are selfless in your heart? How could you know that you are the one who can reverse the situation? I, Yang Tinghe, am ashamed of the emperor, but I have always been eager to reverse the situation in my heart. What I did  Everything is just to be free to do things. Now that you, Mr. Song, are under the emperor's orders, how can you guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will prosper and the chaos will end? " Song Nan looked at Yang Tinghe and said: "Of course I can't guarantee it?  , but I have been wiping your butt for so many years, and I have to lead my troops to quell the troubles and chaos you have caused. If the emperor can trust me and entrust me with major affairs in the court, I am sincere and frightened.  I'm also very happy. What I'm happy about is not that I can rule the country, but that I no longer have to make up for your mistakes. As for what I do, that's my business and has nothing to do with you.  I can tell you that there are talented people in the country. Don¡¯t think that you are the savior. There are countless capable people in the court, but you don¡¯t recognize them.¡± Yang Tinghe lowered his head and said, ¡°I know that my crime cannot be forgiven, but I only punish me.  One person, the rest are doing it under my orders. The killings have been enough. I hope you can forgive them." Song Nan nodded and said: "You don't need to say it, I will do the same. The court needs stability, and of course there can be no more killings.  When Liang Chu tried to escape from the south gate, he was shot dead by Jin Yiwei on Yongdingmen Street. Tan You died in my hands. You, Yang Tinghe, Grand Scholar Fei Hong, and Commander Zhang Wei of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were all the main culprits, so naturally they could not escape punishment.  Except for you, no one else will be involved, and I will not pursue it." Yang Tinghe was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Mr. Song, you are much more open-minded than me." Song Nan didn't look at him and looked up.  The crowd of military and civilian officials in the square said loudly: "Mr. Song swears here that from now on, everything in the past will be wiped out. The new emperor's accession to the throne will be like the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that the officials in the DPRK will also be reborn as if they were reborn. Together, you and I  Work hard to keep all suffering away from the people of the Ming Dynasty, and let the Ming Dynasty revive in the world and last forever. "" The morning light suddenly appeared, and the rising sun sprinkled thousands of golden lights on the city of Beijing, with red walls and green tiles and long green streets.  All are covered with a dazzling coat.  The morning of the fourth day of March looked as ordinary as any other morning in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but all the subjects of the Ming Dynasty knew that this morning was different from the previous mornings.  At the right hour of the day, the bells of the Drum Tower rang slowly. Soon after, notices of the emperor's death were posted on the notice boards in the squares in front of the major government offices. The city almost fell into sadness for a moment.  No matter what the emperor did during his lifetime, whether he was mediocre or wise, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, the death of the emperor will always make the people feel helpless. This is caused by the brand of loyalty to the emperor that has long been imprinted in their hearts. The emperor will always  He was the helmsman of this ship in the Ming Dynasty. Now that the man at the helm is dead, where will this ship go?  The sadness in people's hearts is not only mourning for the emperor's funeral, but also confusion and sorrow for their own future.  The Fengtian Palace was busy. Song Nan, who had not slept all night, and the ministers were discussing in the Fengtian Palace all night long to formulate plans for the emperor's funeral and the new emperor's enthronement. It was said that it was a discussion. Under the current situation, it was basically Song Nan and Zhang Lun.  Yang Yiqing and others proposed solutions, while the other officials made insignificant additions.  ¡°My lords, since you have no objection, thenI will take the lead in the funeral arrangements and start preparing for the big funeral today. The matter of welcoming the new emperor to Beijing will be left to the British Duke and the cabinet scholar Yang Yiqing to make proper arrangements together with Wang Shouren in Jiangxi.  Raozhou and the capital are thousands of miles apart. Please be careful along the way and please the British Duke and Lord Yang Yiqing to welcome the new emperor safely into the capital.  " Song Nan's voice is a little hoarse and his expression is a little tired, but his thinking is very clear. These two things must be done at the same time. The enthronement ceremony must be held immediately after the emperor is buried. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and must be stable.  The morale of the people and the military was such that the eyes of the Ming Dynasty who were watching the throne were completely closed, so they could not delay the new emperor's enthronement. "I will obey the order of Lord Song."  "All the officials said that they tried to call him Prince Song Nan, Tai Bao, and some even called him Grand Scholar, but Song Nan rejected them one by one. Song Nan only needs them to call him Lord Song, and Song Nan does not need to.  Flaunting himself as a minister, he no longer needs these fancy official titles to show his power. From the changes in the attitudes of the ministers this night, he can feel that the initial panic has gradually dissipated. Last night, he and himself in the square  Yang Tinghe's conversation played a role in calming people's hearts. The newly reborn officials received a promise to let go of the past and naturally settled down. It was not that Song Nan had not thought about launching a bloody purge immediately, but he knew that it was definitely not appropriate to act on impulse at this time.  , There are still many things that officials need to do at the moment, and there are no more replacements on hand. Only by maintaining stability for a period of time can we successfully survive this dangerous period, and then slowly replace and deal with it at this moment.  He could not cause this storm in the court. Firstly, his dignity did not need to be established through a bloody purge. Secondly, he did not want to give the secretly hidden vassal kings and generals a reason to take the opportunity to cause chaos. Song Nan had already  All steps have been thought out.
