Chapter 512 The Will
Yishiha felt an indescribable grief, and could only wish to cry out in pain.
But at this time, he had no choice but to bear it, bowed to Zhu Gaochi, and said: "Your Highness, please make up your mind."
Both Zhang Anshi and Yishiha looked at Zhu Gaochi.
In fact... the truth of everything, I am afraid that only Zhang Anshi, who had talked with Zhu Di, knows best.
But Zhang Anshi can't say it, after all, this is His Majesty's secret decree.
But whether to say it or not, Zhang Anshi doesn't need to have other worries.The Prince's disposition is truly filial, and His Majesty has obviously tested this out.
Therefore...Under this kind of absolute trust, Zhang Anshi is not worried at all that his brother-in-law will make a wrong decision at this time.
As expected by Zhang Anshi, Zhu Gaochi said without hesitation: "Call all the ministers to have an audience, summon the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji to the capital, cut that Master Xu into pieces, and give him the death penalty."
Zhang Anshi and Yi Shiha then said: "Yes."
Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "I'm going to see my father."
Zhang Anshi immediately came to his senses, stopped him immediately, and said, "Brother-in-law... no, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
At this juncture, he must not be called wrong. In the past, he was called brother-in-law because Zhu Gaochi was really Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law.
Now I am called His Royal Highness, but I have to tell others that His Royal Highness may not be His Royal Highness.
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is extremely weak and must not be disturbed. At this time... it is better not to have an audience."
Zhu Gaochi sighed, and said with tears: "The kindness of nurturing is hard to repay if you are broken into pieces. Unexpectedly, the father and emperor are in such a situation. As a son of man, he can't be filial. It is a crime of death."
Zhang Anshi knew that his brother-in-law was really sad at this time, so he persuaded him: "If His Majesty is still awake, at this time, I hope that His Majesty can stabilize the overall situation instead of hurting himself in grief."
Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and finally nodded.
The next step is to follow the procedure.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Anshi actually went straight to the Habayashi Guard stationed near the palace wall, and visited the Jin Yiwei Dahan General who was on duty, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Model Battalion guarding several gates.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial guards in the palace are very complicated, some are stationed, some guard several palace gates, and some wait directly inside the palace.
But at this time, Zhang Anshi seemed to have received some order, and went to Habayashi Wei first.
Commander Habayashi was shocked when he heard that the King of Wuhu had come alone.
The commander in the garrison palace was extremely sensitive, and he quickly realized that something was wrong.
Because of Habayashi Wei's sensitivity, as a commander, he almost never makes friends with foreign ministers. Even if someone comes to inspect, it is usually the emperor who ordered Cheng Guogong, Qi Guogong, or British Duke to come, and There were all five armies' governor's mansions, or pro-military governor's mansions who had greeted in advance, and it was absolutely impossible for someone to come to inspect rashly.
The only possibility... is that something happened in the palace.
But the commander was very clever and didn't ask, because as long as Zhang Anshi didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to spy on the situation in the palace.
Zhang Anshi was just looking at the flowers on horseback, patrolling the camp, and then left.
The commander sent him out of the camp, and then said solemnly: "Call all the officers and schools on duty, and pass down the order. Starting today, all the officers and schools are not allowed to take leave, and no one in the camp is allowed to enter or leave. All horses, ordnance, The fodder must be carefully inspected, and from now on in the camp, if there is any gambling, fighting, etc., it will be punished with a third-class crime, and everyone will be on the alert, and there must be no mistakes."
When the subordinate captain heard the order, he immediately understood what was going on, sang a sullen face, and hurried to deliver the order.
The troops of the Model Battalion guarding the palace are probably no more than [-] people, and they are on duty in three shifts.
After this team was on duty here, Zhang Anshi hardly cared about them anymore.
Now, he appeared at various palace gates, inspected them one by one, but didn't say much, and went straight to the camp of the big Han generals.
The generals of the Great Han belonged to the Jinyiwei, but their duties were as the emperor's retinue and guards. They were all tall and tall, and their responsibilities were completely different from the Jinyiwei Tiqi that people often say.
Zhang Anshi asked the generals of the Han Dynasty about their daily retinue, and he only said a few high-sounding words.
At this time... the sky had completely darkened, and the shining stars climbed into the night sky, appearing dazzling.
Zhang Anshi's belly was already rumbling with hunger, but now he obviously didn't care about eating and drinking, and was still thinking about many things.
At this time, an eunuch came in a hurry, and after finding Zhang Anshi, he said, "Your Highness, the minister has arrived at the Meridian Gate. Your Highness, please go to Wenlou together."
Only then did Zhang Anshi put his mind away, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go."
Without hesitation, Zhang Anshi walked quickly all the way to Wenlou.
The ministers, however, came in groups of three or four and waited outside the Wenlou.
This sudden situation, in fact, any minister can already sense something is wrong.
Especially Yang Rong and Hu Guang, their faces were extremely solemn.
Xie Jin looked fine, but with his cleverness, he had obviously guessed something.
Jin Youzi was still indifferent, standing quietly and waiting.
As for Jin Zhong, Liu Guan, Xia Yuanji, Jin Chun and the others, they all stood with their heads bowed, with serious expressions on their faces.
During this summoning, there were scholars from Wenyuan Pavilion, various ministries and halls, and Jiuqing, all of whom were important officials in the court.
Beforehand, someone had already heard the news that a real person in the palace was captured by Jin Yiwei, and an eunuch was captured at the same time.
After that, the garrison in the palace was suddenly strengthened, and Zhang Anshi also began to patrol the camp.
These things cannot be concealed.
Some people even heard that the real person was sentenced to death immediately after he was captured. The methods were cruel and unprecedented.
As for such frightening things, in fact, everyone doesn't need to pay more attention to understand them, they can already guess one or two.
The ministers did not enter the Wenlou, but were led by Yi Shiha to a temporary sleeping hall next to the Wenlou.
When the ministers saw this, they had already looked at each other in blank dismay.
Entering the sleeping hall, at the end of the sleeping hall, the curtain of light gauze is drawn down, and there is a screen, no one can see the holy face.
All the ministers suppressed all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, and saluted impatiently, shouting long live.
Zhu Gaochi was already looking sluggish, the tears in his eyes could not be concealed, and he was being supported by an eunuch.
His Royal Highness King Yi is also here.
It's just that His Royal Highness Yi Wang, who is usually romantic by nature, now also has swollen eyes, standing silently by the side, with a sad expression on his face.
When Jin Zhong saw it, he couldn't help feeling sad, and his face became even more ugly.
Everything in front of him has already confirmed his own guess. As the minister of the dragon in Beiping Mansion back then, his relationship with Zhu Di was much deeper than that of other ministers. Choked up.
After they shouted long live, Zhu Di behind the curtain and screen did not move.
But at this time, obviously no one dared to urge.
After a long, long time.
It was only then that I finally heard Zhu Di's weak voice. This voice...was terribly deep and frighteningly weak. He said word by word: "Is it all here?"
Yishiha knelt behind the curtain, endured the grief in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Your Majesty, we are all here."
Only then did Zhu Di say again: "I feel the wind and cold..."
It seems... Fengchi is like a trash can, no matter what happens, just put it here.
I saw Zhu Di say again: "Ahem... I feel very unwell... I'm very... very tired."
Zhang Anshi was in the palace, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, as expected of His Majesty, he was able to bend and stretch in the Beiping Mansion back then, after many years, and now he repeats the old skills, but he is also easy to grasp, he was born like this.
Yang Rong said eagerly: "Since your majesty feels the wind and cold occasionally, you should... take good care of the dragon's body, minister..."
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
Yang Rong's words were interrupted by Zhu Di's violent coughing.
Yang Rong seemed to realize that it was not time to say these things at this time, and he should just wait for His Majesty's will.
It seems like a long time has passed.
After the curtain and the screen, it seemed that Zhu Di regained some strength.
Zhu Di said again: "I am very tired... my ancestors... it is not easy to start a business... the country... is in my hands... I have conquered the Emperor Gao of the Taizu... Datong... the Emperor Gao of the Taizu loves me."
"..."
Zhu Di said: "Taizu...Taizu Emperor Gao, who is interested in me, but...but the little thief Jianwen made friends with close ministers...close ministers...actually took the opportunity...to do the things of Qin II...Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors ...with a wave of my arms, I killed as far as Nanjing... just now... so that no one can succeed Emperor Taizu Gao..."
He murmured repeatedly... In the end, all he had to do was keep chanting about Emperor Gao.
All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.
Jin Zhong felt even more sad. Speaking of this, His Majesty really seemed to be dying. If not, how could he lie to himself at this point?Obviously... this is a sign of going to see Emperor Taizu Gao.
After being silent for a long time, I heard Zhu Di say again: "I have been on the pole for more than [-] years... I have never been ashamed of my ancestors.
He wanted to continue talking, but he seemed to have exhausted his strength.
So all the ministers began to hang their heads in despair, with a look of grief.
Zhang Anshi seemed to be infected as well, and it seemed that His Majesty was really dying, because...it was so resembling, he could almost imagine that His Majesty would be like this when he was about to die. Confirm your orthodoxy again, and then brag about your achievements.
Therefore, Zhang Anshi couldn't help feeling frustrated.
Zhu Di started making uh uh uh sounds.
The ministers couldn't help but panic.
Zhu Gaochi directly bowed down, choked up and said: "Father... Please take care of the dragon body..."
But it seemed that because of this sentence, Zhu Di suddenly tried to say: "Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi come forward..."
He didn't call Xie Jin...maybe because he was still not at ease with Xie Jin.
And the three bachelors didn't dare to neglect, they got up one by one as if they were sick, and because of their eagerness, they quickly entered the curtain and circled behind the screen.
The three of them arrived at the emperor's side, looked at Zhu Di sadly, then lowered their heads with tears in their eyes, and bowed down one by one.
Zhu Di's complexion was not very good, and his face looked tired, as if he had reached the point of exhaustion.
He looked at the three ministers and said: "Qing...the three of you...are preparing to draft an imperial edict..."
Will...
The people in this palace are full of mixed tastes.
The little bit of grief and nostalgia for Zhu Di just now was quickly replaced by an indescribable thought.
Everyone knows that in the next few words, the life and death of many people may be determined in the next few decades of the country.
And all of this...is closely related to everyone's fate.
Although there are many people, they have been able to see a little bit of the ending.But when the matter came to an end, at this critical moment, he put his heart in his throat.
Zhu Di began to explain intermittently.
The third bachelor had to close his ears because of Zhu Di's soft voice.
Only the people outside the screen and the curtain can probably only... hear a few fragments of words.
Zhang Anshi only heard a few intermittent words.
"Prince... Zhu Gaochi... the most filial piety... can inherit the great order..."
"Zhu Zhanji... established as the prince..."
"My mausoleum... can be buried in simplicity..."
"Domestic money... the children and grandchildren must not abuse it..."
"King Ning... When King Ning was in the feudal domain... there was a lack of money and food... I thought of my brotherhood, and I borrowed 17 taels of silver from him to use as military expenses. The interest was three qian, and no written evidence was established... The children and grandchildren will be Keep in mind... There is also Zhu Gui, the king of Gu, who asked me for a loan of 500 taels of silver in the 19th year of Yongle, to be used as a vassal state, and the interest was about four qian... Children and grandchildren will not Don't forget..."
It was only later that Zhu Di's voice became softer and weaker.
At this time... Zhang Anshi could barely hear anything.
After explaining for a long time...the eyes of the three bachelors were all red, until Zhu Di seemed unable to speak, they had to keep putting their ears as close as possible to listen carefully, until Zhu Di...began to say in a daze: "Mr. Emperor Zugao... loves me... loves me..."
Afterwards, the three of them looked gloomy, retreated from the curtain, bowed down again, and saluted Zhu Di.
Zhu Gaochi cried again, but at this time... all the officials looked at the three scholars.
At this time, many people no longer cared about Zhu Di, and only worried about His Majesty's will.
Zhu Gaochi said with tears in his voice: "Everyone, step down...Wenyuan Pavilion...follow the imperial father's decree and draft the imperial edict..."
Everyone said yes.
All the ministers quit in twos and threes.
The ministers didn't say a word, they just felt extra heavy in their hearts.
For such a major event, all the ministers must gather in Wenyuan Pavilion to draw up a posthumous photo, which will then be reviewed and submitted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, it was midnight.
The ministers are old, how can they withstand such a toss?
But now... almost everyone can't tell the spirit.
So that people were not tired, and soon began to gather in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Immediately afterwards, when everyone was seated, Xia Yuanji began to cry.
Everyone also cried together.
There is no shortage of people beating their chests and falling their feet.
I cried seven to seven forty-nine times.
Xia Yuanji shed tears, and most of the ministers also shed tears.
Xia Yuanji clasped his hands and said to Yang Rong and the others: "San Gong, please quickly draft your majesty's last wish, without delay, this is not a time for sorrow, the country and the community should be the most important thing."
Yang Rongdao: "Your Majesty summoned me into the palace to inform all officials..."
Xia Yuanji smiled wryly and said, "It's just that His Majesty's illness came on too quickly. The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and I only heard a few words..."
Yang Rong nodded, and immediately exchanged glances with Hu Guang and Jin Youzi.
Jin Youzi stood up and volunteered: "I will draft it, and I will ask Yang Gong and Hu Gong to look at it later, and then I will invite all ministers to witness."
Although Jin Youzi had a sad expression on his face, he was unequivocal, and immediately asked someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and immediately wrote vigorously.
Soon, an eloquent and eloquent will was drafted.
Many people can't stand it anymore.
They all came together to watch.
They looked at the contents nervously, as if it was related to their lives.
Jin Youzi dried the ink, and immediately presented it in front of Yang Rong and Hu Guang.
Although Yang Rong was also grieving, he was always calm. He had the ability to never forget. He only glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the calmness on his face disappeared in an instant.
Then, he seemed not to show his face, but sent the edict to Hu Guang.
Hu Guang only looked at it, but his face changed slightly.
Jin Youzi said: "Er Gong...is there something wrong?"
Hu Guangdao: "Here... I'm afraid it's worth discussing, the rest is fine, but this sentence... Hu has never heard... When did His Majesty say it?"
Jin Youzi remained expressionless, but said, "Mr. Hu...Maybe Mr. Yang has an impression."
Hu Guang's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Jin Gong, this is a big matter, no matter how stupid Hu is, he will never forget such a thing... This holy order, how can you make a random edict?"
Yang Rong had no expression on his face, and also looked at Jin Youzi.
Jin Youzi was still calm and said: "Does Yang Gong have any impression?"
Yang Rong frowned lightly and said: "The old man is dull, but... I really don't have the impression..."
Jin Youzi said: "But I really heard it..."
At this moment, everyone looked at Yang Rong, and then at Jin Youzi.
No one was surprised, but almost everyone... seemed to take it for granted.It seems that someone has already expected that this matter... will definitely happen.
But Hu Guangdao: "It's really impossible... You should enter the palace immediately and ask Your Majesty..."
Jin Youzi said: "Yes."
But Yang Rong waved his hand and sighed: "Why bother to say such angry words? Didn't Er Gong see that Your Majesty...had lost his mind after the confession. Your Majesty's dragon body...is dying...hey...arrived Now... how to ask His Majesty to clarify?"
The three of them have personally seen His Majesty's situation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the oil is exhausted... I think that even the last words were reluctantly uttered in the light of the past, and now go and invite Your Majesty Clearly, it's just a joke.
Jin Youzi then said sincerely: "But Jin, you really heard the truth. At that time, His Majesty's voice was indeed weak and his speech was slurred. Now the second lord... thinks that the old man is talking nonsense. Could it be that he is questioning Jin's character?"
Hu Guangdao: "If you haven't heard this sentence, you haven't heard it. It has nothing to do with Jin Gong's virtue. Hu only believes in what he has seen and heard, and has absolutely no intention of speculating on Jin Gong's mind..."
Hu Guang's resolute attitude was beyond everyone's expectation.
