In the twenty-fifth year of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qing passed away at his summer resort. The cabinet ministers opened the Secret Box of the Crown Prince and announced the secret decree written by Emperor Qing in the fourth year of Emperor Qing's reign, naming the emperor's second son Mian Ning as the crown prince.
On the same day, the Crown Prince returned to Beijing in the coffin of Emperor Daxing.
In August, Emperor Daxing was given the posthumous title "Emperor of Suiyou Chongwenjing, Wuguangyu, filial piety, diligence, thrift, Duanmin, Yingzherui", and the temple name was Renzong.
In September, the prince summoned Lin Ruhai, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, back to Beijing to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet.
In mid-September, after three recommendations and three speeches, the new emperor held a coronation ceremony and ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After a series of complicated and solemn ceremonies.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
Standing in front of the throne, the prince looked down at the officials, his heart rising and falling.
He is now the supreme being in the world. He speaks out the Constitution of Heaven and follows the laws. He is the Son of Heaven!
From today on, the history books read by future generations will always remember his ancestor, Daoguang, who brought the new dynasty to an unprecedented prosperous age.
After a moment, Daoguang took a deep look at Lin Ruhai, the first civil servant who prostrated himself on the ground. He was the best and most capable minister under his father, but he was not his.
History will remember this moment!
After the ceremony, General Manager Chen went out to read out the imperial edict of accession to the throne. This was a strategy written by the ministers and the prince. It was also the new emperor's plan for the future governance of the country, for all officials and all the people in the world to see.
[One reward for hundreds of officials will be set as a permanent example...
Second, fight corruption...
Three governance canals...four governance barbarians, ban on smoking, ban on the sea...five governance court...]
When he read about the Forbidden Sea, something was wrong with Baiguan's expression. You must know that now only Guangdong and Guangxi are there. The court deals with barbarian countries openly and can earn tens of millions of taels of tax revenue from shipping every year.
Don’t want so much money?
That's just right. If the court doesn't do it, they do it secretly in their own family. This light understands them.
Managing the court, doesn’t that correspond to governing the Lin family? Some officials quickly looked secretly at Lin Ruhai at the front.
The Lin family has been suffering for a long time, and the new emperor is indeed a wise man. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, with great righteousness and great momentum, he plowed the court and swept the holes, and restored a bright world to the court.
As for the dreams I had recently, all officials thought they were thoughts and dreams every day and night.
After all, according to common sense, dreams are reversed. The Lin family becomes emperor, flourishes and then declines. This does not mean that the Lin family is coming to an end.
OK!
After reading the imperial edict, Daoguang stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the Jinluan Hall, looking down at Lin Ruhai below: "Lin Aiqing, cabinet minister and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, do you have any objections?"
Lin Ruhai clasped his fists: "I have no objection."
Daoguang nodded with satisfaction. This Lin Ruhai knew faces. If he were an ordinary person, he would of course give up and start to figure it out slowly.
But he is different, who is he, the emperor through the ages!
He still deeply remembered what Emperor Qing said before he left: Kill, kill, kill to make a bright world! Naturally, we need to cut through the mess quickly.
After another tedious etiquette, Manager Chen shouted loudly.
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
After waiting for a while, Lin Ruhai said directly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am very old and exhausted physically and mentally. I am no longer able to handle the world's political affairs. How can I ask for the remains to take care of myself?"
After all, Emperor Qing had a good relationship with him, and he really didn't want to make things irreversible, otherwise he would not feel comfortable going down to have tea with Emperor Qing a hundred years later.
Emperor Daoguang said coldly: "No!"
Lin Ruhai sighed and retreated.
The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you!" Shi Ding, the historian, and Zhongjing Marquis stood up and said loudly.
The first time Shi Jia supported the former prince, the incident failed and his father was killed. The second time he supported Prince Yizhong again, but the incident failed and the family property was confiscated and he was kept away from the central government.
As the saying goes, this can happen once, twice, but never again. Now that he is on the side of the emperor who has ascended the throne and holds the imperial power, can he still fail?
Moreover, looking at Lin Ruhai's current expression, he has resigned himself to his fate. Isn't that the best time to beat up the drowned dog?
Watch me lead the charge!
Daoguang frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with someone suing his father's most trusted minister: "Say!"
Shi Ding pointed at Lin Ruhai, his eyes filled with excitement and anger: "The minister wants to accuse Lin Ruhai of ten crimes:
1: The father and daughter of the Lin family rode straight into the left gate and passed through the Zhengda Guangming Hall. They had no father and no king, nothing could be further from the truth;
2: Relying on her father’s power, the daughter of the Lin family was carried into the palace on a chair and sedan chair, and walked in and out of the Shenwu Gate on shoulders and carriages, in full view of everyone, without any scruples;
Three: The Lin Mansion takes in women who have left the palace, regardless of their integrity;
Four: When Lin Ruhai was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, there were wars all over the country, but Guangdong and Guangxi were the only ones who were peaceful and happy. It must be because he colluded with the White Lotus Sect to provide food, grass and weapons. This was a waste of consideration for human relations and only sought stability.
Five: When Emperor Qing was seriously ill, Lin Ruhai had no worries. He returned home for the first time and talked and laughed with his children as usual;
Six: nepotism and control of government affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi;
Seven: Controlling the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, setting up private courts for punishment, disregarding the law, and other specialties, too numerous to mention.
8: The governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lin's Mansion, has a large amount of gold, silver, gems, clothes and other items, numbering in excess of tens of millions, and some of them are missing from the inner palace.
】
9: He ignored the national laws, privately reduced taxes and corvees for the people, returned wages to the people, and unfairly competed with other regions, causing unrest among the people of the world.
10: Governor Lin united with the local gentry to control the price of salt, iron and grain to compete with the people for profit.
Lin Ruhai, the guilty minister, ignored the friendship between the late emperor and his ministers, deceived the Holy One, belittled the sick people of the country, and was a few like the thieves of Sichuan and Chu. He was corrupt and debauched. He is truly a shameless villain! "
After finishing his words, Shi Ding continued: "The humble ministers ask the Holy One to judge, punish the traitors, and restore peace to the world!"
Then many people came out one after another among the officials, knelt down and loudly echoed.
"Kill the traitors and restore peace to the world!"
The King of Beijing in front was a little confused. What's the situation? Aren't we all our own people? Why wasn't he notified of such a major event from Conglong?
The annual income of Guangdong and Guangxi is nearly 100 million taels from commercial taxes and shipping, and he wants it too.
After hesitating for a moment, he thought about it and forgot it. The icing on the cake had basically no effect. Besides, his wife and Lin Daiyu were also close friends, so the money was not worth it.
After the ministers finished speaking, Daoguang looked at Lin Ruhai and said in a deep voice: "Lin Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"
Lin Ruhai clasped his fists: "I have nothing to say, I am a humble minister."
After all, there's no point in trying to incriminate someone.
Daoguang let out a long sigh: "When my father was on his deathbed, he was still teaching me, Lin Aiqing, how to make decisions. Guangfeng Jiyue asked me to discuss big things with you before making decisions.
But I didn't expect that Lin Aiqing would commit so many catastrophic disasters over the years.
But if I want to kill you, my father’s bones are still cold. As a son, I would be too unfilial.
I heard that Jia Mansion has a large garden with winding paths and secluded views. I want to imprison the whole Lin family in this hospital. First of all, the Lin family and the Jia family have a close relationship, and they take care of them.
Secondly, although Lin Aiqing made a big mistake, she has worked hard and achieved great results over the years and can still live a long life.
In the future, when I and all the officials work hard to build a prosperous world, Lin Aiqing can also take a look on behalf of my father. He did not choose the wrong person!
Lin Aiqing, what do you think? "
Emperor Daoguang asked with a smile.
Lin Ruhai remained silent.
"You are impudent, Lin Ruhai. Your Majesty is kind, but you are still not satisfied with this treatment? Do you have to kill everyone in your family?" Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue cursed.
Over the years, Emperor Qing had repeatedly wanted to touch him. As a result, every night, he had no energy to ventilate his concubine and enlighten her.
Was he greedy for a little money? What did he do wrong?
"Lin Aiqing!" Daoguang said dissatisfied.
He thought that he had done his best by doing this. Did Lin Ruhai insist on forcing him to go too far?
"Boom boom boom~"
Suddenly, a group of troops rushed directly into the hall.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang~" The Forbidden Army and the Jinwu Guards drew their swords at the officials.
Daoguang took a closer look and saw that the leader was actually a young girl, with skin as bright as snow and a delicate face. More importantly, she was dressed in a red dragon robe, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, looking domineering and majestic.
"Which army are you in? Do you want to rebel? Where are my personal guards, come in and escort them!" Daoguang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at everyone.
Before that, he was naturally fully prepared. Under gunfire, all living beings are equal.
Lin Luofeng behind the girl clasped her fists: "I'm here."
Daoguang:???
Baiguan:......
King Beijing was excited, and suddenly remembered that the dream his ancestors had entrusted to him these days had come true!
From the power of the dragon!
"Wei Chen Shui Rong, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
There were a few among the hundreds of officials. They glanced at the loyal imperial guards and Jinwu guards around them. They saw that all the commanders and captains of all sizes in the capital were there. The general trend was in Lin's direction.
"Wei Chen, Minister of the Criminal Department, pays homage to Your Majesty."
"The Minister of Household Affairs, a humble servant, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
…
Seeing the officials in the hall, about 60 to 70% of whom bowed down one after another, Daoguang panicked, and then became furious: "Rebellion, rebellion!
Rebellious ministers and traitors should be treated as slaves! Come on, come on! "
No one responded for a while, but more and more officials were kneeling in the hall.
Lin Ruhai watched all this quietly with a complicated expression.
Why do you have to force the Lin family?
Lin Daiyu slowly stepped onto the Golden Palace and stood in front of Daoguang. Daoguang glared angrily, and the girl raised her eyes, instantly meeting those abyss-like black eyes.
"ah!"
Seemingly seeing something scary, Daoguang quickly backed away and even fell to the ground. Then he realized something and looked at the girl in dragon robe in horror.
"Witch, witch!"
Lin Daiyu had no expression on her face. She took three steps forward, turned around, and slowly sat on the dragon chair.
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
There were still many loyal ministers and righteous men under the new emperor, who rebuked loudly.
But facing these soldiers, they naturally did not dare to rush forward.
The girl turned a deaf ear, waved her sleeves and said nonchalantly: "Where is the Hanlin Academy?"
"Jia Lan, a direct bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, pays homage to Your Majesty." Jia Lan went out directly.
With his knowledge, he naturally passed the Jinshi examination early and is now a direct bachelor of the fifth rank. In a place like the Hanlin Academy, there are not so many people who focus on learning.
Several other Hanlin chief officials looked at each other and did not dare to go out.
They couldn't understand this situation. There was no news. Why did the Lin family sit on the throne?
Moreover, it is not as simple as a palace change to secure the throne. There are nine border guards, Japanese troops in the south, permanent troops stationed in various places, and four kings with different surnames stationed on the border, adding up to a million troops.
If they go to Beijing to serve as king, can the Lin family still hold on to the throne?
In their view, those colleagues who took sides early were really unwise. As long as they did not wait until the last moment, they would know who would win.
Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Lan and said with satisfaction: "Go, check the history books, and tell the world why my Lin family is the orthodox and destined emperor!"
King Zhongshun stood up. He was the late emperor's younger brother and Daoguang's uncle. The Lin family would not let him go no matter what.
"Lin Ruhai, it's in vain that the late Emperor showed you such kindness, and this is how you repay him? You wolf... uh~" Just as he was saying a few words, King Zhongshun covered his throat, let out a few screams, and fell into unconsciousness.
"King Zhongshun!" Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance shouted, supported him and pointed back at Lin Daiyu. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly covered his throat and widened his eyes.
"Plop~" He fell directly to the ground.
Then another person fell to the ground before he came out.
Subsequently.
"Plop, plop~" Dozens of officials fell one after another, with high and low positions.
Once is a coincidence, twice is a witchcraft. There is something wrong with this queen.
The officials were silent, and Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "So, I want to be the emperor, who agrees and who objects?"
Daoguang, who was standing next to him, looked expectantly at the ministers. For a long time, no one dared to stand up again.
Everyone has read a lot of books and is a smart person. Of course, they should be useful in order to achieve great things.
Clenching his fists, Daoguang suddenly had an ominous premonition.
His reign was named after Daoguang. He thought he would have a bright future, but now it looks like he has a bleak future?
Is this destiny?
After a while, no one came out to object. Lin Daiyu felt a little regretful: "Since no one objects, I will assume that everyone agrees.
Mr. Chen, come and read my enthronement edict. "
"Hey, it's here!" Manager Chen said happily.
Daoguang:......
At this time, he could no longer bear it and said: "Lin Qing's family, stop making trouble. I admit that I had some misunderstandings with you before."
The inchworm bends to gain trust; the dragon and snake stings to save oneself. If a man is able to bend and stretch, his Taoism will naturally not be inferior to that of his ancestors.
Lin Daiyu turned to look at him and suddenly said: "I forgot that I still have you.
In this way, the Jia Mansion has a large garden with winding paths that are secluded and fascinating. I would like to send your family to this garden. Since I have a close relationship with the Jia family, it will be convenient for them to take care of you.
Secondly, although you have made a big mistake, you still feel inadequate, surrender to the world, work hard and achieve great results, and you can also seek a long life.
In the future, when I and the officials will work hard to build a prosperous world, you can also take a look on behalf of your father to see that he did not choose the wrong person in the imperial examination!
What, what is the late emperor’s intention? "
Daoguang:? ? ?
Isn’t this my line? Where are my Praetorian Guards? Where is my cannon? Why, why did everyone in the world betray him? Did he do something wrong?
"Come here, take Daoguang down to keep him healthy!" Manager Chen commanded.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people from the inner chamber came over, grabbed Daoguang and dragged him down.
"How presumptuous, I am the emperor, I am the supreme being in the world, you rebels...wuwuwu~"
Manager Chen smiled and took out another edict from his sleeve.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict:...I admire this."
Daoguang, who was far away from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, then heard hundreds of officials shouting in unison, and the tens of thousands of forbidden troops outside also roared.
"Greetings to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
The last emperor of the new dynasty, his vision went dark and he fainted.
The sky is falling!
