Chapter 17 Long Yu returns to heaven
Zhu Xiongying, surrounded by everyone, slowly walked on the royal road and entered the main hall.
Immediately, a eunuch read Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict loudly.
At this moment, He Xi, Yao Guangxiao, Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, Ye Chen, and He Xi's group are all among the ministers below. But this solemn atmosphere made many people feel uneasy.
Because apart from He Xi, Yao Guangxiao had some mental preparations for today's situation. More people find it difficult to accept this change.
Why did Ming Dynasty suddenly become like this?
Their mentality is still in the Hongwu period, but they don't know that they are already at the end of the Hongwu period.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly passed through the layers of guards and knelt down next to Zhu Xiongying. He handed a letter to Zhu Xiongying with both hands.
When Zhu Xiongying opened it, he burst into tears and said, "His Majesty Long Yu has passed away."
In an instant, countless people fell to their knees and cried bitterly.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been in poor health in recent years, and many people know it. They were also mentally prepared for Zhu Yuanzhang's death. But when this thing actually happens, most people find it difficult to accept it.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, was not just a person. But it is a symbol of an era.
The death of Zhu Yuanzhang let everyone know that that era truly no longer exists. The Ming Dynasty entered the post-Hongwu era.
"Your Highness," Xie Jin suddenly came out and said, "Your Majesty has always been in good health, and now he is asked to supervise state affairs in Beijing. This shows that the Holy Heart is where the Holy Heart is. Your Highness is the eldest son of Emperor Zhenzong. This is where the country is based, but now His Highness is not in the capital. , His Majesty passed away suddenly, there must be something fishy. Please send troops south to avenge Your Majesty."
He Xi secretly thought: "Jie Jin really has some tricks up his sleeve."
He Xi didn't think that the person who came to report the news just now was real. It should be arranged. After all, this kind of grand ceremony is arranged inside and outside, on three levels inside and outside. How could it be possible for people to break in so easily.
Not to mention, Xie Jin was so positive in speaking out.
He Xi had already said before that the first step was to strike first. After Zhu Xiongying took over the throne, he would go south first. And Xie Jin's words gave him an excellent excuse. In this way, it is justified.
After all, after Lan Yu's death and the various changes in Nanjing, He Xi could judge that Zhu Yuanzhang's life had only a little bit of light left. Announcement a few days earlier and a few days later, there is actually not much difference.
As soon as Xie Jin said this, many people naturally agreed.
Some people really believe that there is something wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang's death. So take revenge. After all, although there are many people in the world who hate Zhu Yuanzhang. But there are many people who love Zhu Yuanzhang. It can even be said that there are many. After all, the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang has caused countless people to rise up. Many of them were poor boys between the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and now they have become official families in various places. Who brought this.
Zhu Yuanzhang.
These talents are the basis for Zhu Yuanzhang to dare to do whatever he wants in the court.
As long as they were around, Zhu Yuanzhang would be indifferent to anyone.
There are also some people who are more thoughtful. They don't believe that things are so coincidental. They even don't believe that the imperial edict that He Xi presented is true. However, these people understand one thing better, no matter what their intentions are.
Now, there is no turning back for them.
Just kept going.
Therefore, we must win. Because only winners have a future. In order to win, they don't care about many details.
Zhu Xiongying naturally took the opportunity to announce, "I will definitely seek justice for Grandpa Huang. Why stay behind?"
He Xi immediately stepped out and said, "I'm here."
Zhu Xiongying said: "I would like to stay here as a pioneer and go south to accuse Nanjing. Let's see what explanation they give me."
He Xi said: "Yes."
The overall strategy of preemptive strike was finally decided.
But what He Xi didn't expect was the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
, it’s not false, it’s true. And the person who just came to report is also true.
After He Xi learned the news, he felt lost for a moment.
-------
At this moment, Nanjing is completely white.
Since the second national mourning in the 25th year of Hongwu, Nanjing has once again welcomed a national mourning.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was lying in the coffin, quiet and peaceful.
Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is not bad, but because of Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior, he has a feeling of power without anger at any time, and only at this moment can he be so quiet.
Zhu Yuanzhang's death was very quiet. After a coma, Doctor Dai used many methods. His vital signs were maintained, but after three days in coma, he suddenly lost his breath while in coma. No explanation.
And even when Zhu Yuanzhang was in a coma, Xu Zheng did what he should do. That is, he has many connections with the imperial court and controls the entrance and exit of the palace. It was impossible for Zhu Yunwen to completely blockade Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunwen had this idea. But Xu Zheng persuaded him and said that now His Majesty leaves you alone in the capital, which has already explained everything. If Zhu Yunwen insists on blocking traffic in the palace, it will not be a good thing both internally and externally, and it may not be beneficial to Zhu Yunwen.
So Zhu Yunwen agreed.
However, Zhu Yunwen never expected that they would find out that something big had happened after Zhu Yuanzhang died.
That is, Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave any succession edict, and although Zhu Yunwen took control of power, he was still walking in the cabinet, studying political affairs, and did not have any claim to inheritance rights.
Although, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Fang Xiaoru hinted that many people had come forward to ask for a grandson. But as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard about the establishment of his grandson, he hinted that he would call Zhu Xiongying over. In this way, Zhu Yunwen would feel at ease.
But Zhu Yunwen didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang did this? It was Ding Xian who solved Zhu Yunwen's doubts.
Ding Xian deduced that there was no father and son in the Tian family. Many emperors in the Song Dynasty were not prepared to appoint a prince before their death. Otherwise, once the prince was established, the emperor's power would be damaged. Not to mention, His Majesty is greedy for power. One day he does not establish a grandson, but one day he has great power, and everyone relies on him. And once he confirms his grandson, it's hard to say what will happen next.
Zhu Yunwen was confused about this matter.
His doubt is, if this is the case, why did Zhu Yuanzhang trust Prince Zhu Biao so much back then.
Ding Xian felt that it was probably the prince who disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang.
In any case, Ding Xian's idea is not wrong. Zhu Yunwen believed it and stopped mentioning the reserve. However, most people, including Zhu Yunwen, believed that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely make arrangements.
After all, no one would think that Zhu Yuanzhang was a confused person. If the storage location is not clear, how much chaos will it bring to the world. On this point, everyone believes that Zhu Yuanzhang will not be confused in this matter.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any signs of confusion until he fell into a deep coma.
But, the most unlikely thing happened.
Not something else. Even after Zhu Yuanzhang died, no edict on the succession was found at all. That’s all.
After all, if Zhu Yunwen takes control of the scene immediately, he will just create his own. But no.
Zhu Yunwen didn't arrive before the others at all.
Almost after Zhu Yuanzhang died, Xu Zheng informed everyone. Including, several nobles, princes, princes, the King of Shu and other young princes and princesses who did not become feudal vassals, cabinet bachelors, six ministers, etc.
A group of people were suppressed by darkness, and Zhu Yunwen could not control the situation at all.
Therefore, if Zhu Yunwen wanted to ascend the throne, he had to face a problem, that is, he had no legal basis.
This is very embarrassing.
Zhu Yunwen was kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's soul at this moment, full of doubts in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Grandpa Huang, why did you do this? Someone was still causing trouble and changed the edict you had prepared."
Zhu Yunwen still prefers the latter in his heart. After all, in Zhu Yunwen's view, Zhu Yuan
Zhang still cares about himself. Otherwise, Zhu Xiongying would not be sent to Beijing. It's just the last posthumous edict.
I guess it must be Zhu Xiongying who stayed in the palace and did something.
Zhu Yunwen could only think this way.
However, the many doubts in his mind were of no use. After all, we have to solve the problem at hand.
