Less than an hour after the emperor's death, major matters related to the succession were quickly decided without Jiang Bin's participation.
Subsequently, in accordance with the imperial edict, a team was about to leave for Anlu to meet the new emperor. The day of departure could not even pass overnight, and they had to leave the city before dark that day. This also reflected a sense of urgency and did not read it to Jiang Bin.
The opportunity of the so-called will in hand.
When the news reached Zhu Hao, he was already ready to take part in the palace examination in the future.
Su Xigui came to report the news in person.
When such a major event occurred, only the imperial court announced the national mourning, and it was not even officially announced to the public. There was no sign of martial law in the capital.
"...Three of the four nobles and eunuchs who were ordered to guard various parts of the capital have a close friendship with Ping Lupp. I really don't understand this move. Could it be that the Queen Mother and the cabinet compromised with Ping Lupp? There is also news that,
Although Pinglubo people did not appear in the palace, his people were present, so the Queen Mother and Yang Ge Lao Shan could not make any decisions."
Su Xigui is very anxious now.
A big event happened, and all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky. Now we only know that the Queen Mother Zhang issued an imperial edict and asked Zhang Yong, Guo Xun, Xu Tai and Wang Xian to each lead a group of troops to guard the southeast and northwest sides of the capital. Except for Wang Xian, the other three
Everyone has connections with Jiang Bin, and Xu Tai is a direct descendant of Jiang Bin.
This shows that after the emperor's death, Jiang Bin did not break away from the core power level.
Zhu Haodao: "Excuse me, are these four ministers ministers of Ming Dynasty or Jiang Bin?"
Su Xigui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Everyone understands the truth, but don't you think that right now...it's too difficult to subdue Uncle An Bian?"
Zhu Hao did not dwell on this issue with Su Xigui, but asked: "Has the team to welcome the new emperor already left the capital? Have you decided who it will be?"
"I don't know for the time being that the Queen Mother sent the Chief of Ceremonies, the Royal Horse Eunuch and the Eunuch to the cabinet, and then convened a meeting with the princes, nobles and important ministers in the palace. Later, both the cabinet and the Chief of Ceremonies sent people, plus Shou
The nobles such as Marquis Ning and Duke Ding, accompanied by hundreds of guards, left the city before the sun set..."
Su Xigui was worried because he was so well-informed that he was at a loss when such a big event happened.
Zhu Hao squinted his eyes. Under the butterfly effect, the palace took action faster. Historically, the welcoming envoys set off on March 16th, but now they set off two days earlier. He smiled and said: "Since the palace has decided on the matter, it seems that the overall situation has been resolved."
Certainly."
"oh!?"
Su Xigui still didn't react.
At this moment, Sun Ru hurriedly ran in from the courtyard and shouted: "Sir, the Ministry of Rites has just announced that tomorrow's palace examination will be cancelled! The palace examination has been postponed... It seems to be a national mourning! Sir, are you there?"
Sun Ru was a belated observer, but he came to inform Zhu Hao as soon as he had news. In terms of the speed of news transmission, he was not much behind Su Xigui.
"Dongzhu Su, your people are wandering around the capital now?" Zhu Hao asked.
Su Xigui nodded.
"Then let them do their best to find out the information. Regarding the content of His Majesty's edict and the candidates for the new emperor's succession, I believe it will be made public before sunset today. This is to catch Jiang Bin off guard and make all the chips in Jiang Bin's hand go to zero...
...As for Jiang Bin...he is about to die, but now the cabinet and the Queen Mother will comfort him first, and there will be a good show in the next few days!"
When such a big event happens, Zhu Hao can do very little and is more like a bystander at this time.
Now that he has no power, what can he do if the emperor is dead?
At most, he can help Su Xigui with some advice!
In fact, Su Xigui was watching from afar in this matter. The matter had nothing to do with him. It was said to involve Huang Zan's vital interests. But in the capital, other than asking for information and making some preparations in advance, how could he interfere in important royal and court affairs?
"Then I'm going to find out the news right now. Why don't you drink tea somewhere else? Why don't you put it over there at the theater? We'll stay up all night, waiting for good news."
…
…
It was already sunset in a blink of an eye.
As soon as Zhu Hao arrived at the theater where he had an appointment with Su Xigui, Su Xigui sent someone to inform Zhu Hao that the candidate for the new emperor's succession had been determined, and it was Prince Xiao Xing of Prince Xing's Mansion.
This means that Zhu Hao has spent more than six years planning and finally has come to fruition.
"It's not easy for a time traveler to get into my position. Waiting so hard is like waiting until the clouds clear and the moon shines. It seems that my time is coming... But then I have to fight with Yang Tinghe, a powerful official, and I feel tired.
ah!"
Zhu Hao laughed at himself in his heart.
There are very few guests in the theater now.
News of the emperor's death spread widely, and as expected, a state funeral will be held next. During this period, entertainment is strictly prohibited, and there is a curfew at night. It is better to go home early.
Others think that Jiang Bin is likely to cause rebellion. The capital seems peaceful now. Who knows if there will be a bloody mutiny after nightfall? How long will it take if he doesn't return home at this time?
"Master!"
Guan Dezhao appeared in front of Zhu Hao.
At this time, he was not in costume, and was followed by his son Guan Jing. The father and son were no longer the same as when they first met, one older and one younger, complementing each other perfectly.
Now the father and son are close in height, and they both lack the sense of vicissitudes of being entertainers.
"Master Guan, sit down."
Zhu Hao smiled.
Guan Jing hurriedly came over and saluted Zhu Hao: "I have met you, sir."
Zhu Hao said: "I haven't officially become a disciple yet, so there is no need to rush to call me this way."
Guan Dezhao sighed: "It will happen sooner or later... By the way, my boss, there are rumors today that it is the Emperor Bintian. I wonder if this is the case?"
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded.
Guan Dezhao asked hurriedly: "The emperor has not appointed a prince, who will succeed him? Will the capital... be unstable?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I just got the news that the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister read out the emperor's edict, and the young master of Prince Xing's Mansion succeeded him. The team currently going to Anlu to welcome the new emperor, led by the cabinet scholar Liang, has already arrived.
If we leave the city before sunset, we will probably travel south under the stars."
"ah!"
Guan Dezhao was shocked by this.
The father and son had been living outside for many years, and finally found a place to settle down. As a result, a real dragon appeared in that place?
What is even more unexpected is that through Zhu Hao's relationship, the father and son have a relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion, and the new emperor's accession to the throne means that they will also benefit from it.
Guan Jing asked in confusion: "Is Zhu Si going to be the emperor?"
"Nonsense! What are you talking about?"
Guan Dezhao glared at his son.
Guan Jing and Zhu Si knew each other.
When Zhu Hao introduced him to him, he directly called him "Zhu Si". Guan Jing knew that Zhu Si was the young master of Prince Xing's Mansion, so he would not offend him. Now it was like calling him an actor who followed his father to make a career at a young age.
, actually met the emperor with his own eyes... or met the emperor when he was still young.
If it were an ordinary person, if he had the imperial aura, he would probably be honored for the rest of his life.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Master Guan, no matter who becomes the emperor, life will not change for us. Don't think too much about these things."
"My boss, you are still so calm and composed up to now. It seems that you are really a man of great things, Prince Xing... After the new emperor arrives in the capital, you will have a bright future in the government... But why do you look like..."
I didn’t make it too clear, but Guan Dezhao was actually very curious. Your good friend is about to become the emperor, but you actually act like you’re okay?
Zhu Hao said: "I am just a companion in Prince Xing's palace. After the new emperor ascends the throne, I am just a minister. A minister must abide by his duties as a minister, so why think about superfluous things? The same is true for Master Guan. If you want to get something from it, it will be a big deal."
It’s not necessary, it’s better to calm down and be too demanding or it will be counterproductive.”
Zhu Hao is also afraid that the mentality of those around him will be unbalanced.
I think that if Zhu Si becomes emperor, he can get a share of the pie, but the problem is that people in Xingwangfu have reason to obtain the merit of Conglong. We are just ordinary people. At most, we have some relationship with Xingwangfu. Why do we think that the emperor can
What should I give you? Did you help him when he was emperor? Did you help him in times of crisis?
"Yes Yes."
Guan Dezhao looked like he was being taught.
Su Xigui happened to be back at this time, and Guan Dezhao did not dare to stay longer and retreated with his son.
…
…
"It's settled, it's settled!"
After Su Xigui arrived, he rubbed his hands and looked extremely excited.
In the past few days, Su Xigui had been worried about Huang Zan's future. Now that he knew that Zhu Side was the new emperor, he felt that his previous investment was completely correct, so he would wait to reap the fruits. He didn't even have to worry about his brother-in-law's official career.
Already.
Zhu Hao said: "It's not decided yet."
"Uh...how do you say this?"
Su Xigui suddenly became a little more worried.
Zhu Hao sighed: "I haven't sat on the dragon throne for a day. The ownership of the throne is a problem... How dare you guarantee that Jiang Bin will not fight back? You can guarantee that the people who support the new emperor will not pull him off the golden throne again.
?Since ancient times, when powerful ministers were in charge of the country, it was not uncommon for them to abolish the establishment without authorization."
“With so many loyal ministers and good generals in the Ming Dynasty, it’s not like this, right?”
When Su Xigui said this, he felt that the earth-shattering events in history were far away from him and did not seem to be in front of him at all.
Zhu Haodao: "Since ancient times, have there been many cases of emperors dying without establishing a heir apparent? Which one was a smooth handover without any trouble?"
Su Xigui thought about it carefully.
It turns out that major events that will affect the world are happening right in front of us. Today is really a bit like witnessing history.
If this matter is really taken seriously, the capital may really fall into a bloody storm in the future.
Su Xigui looked ugly, but Zhu Hao comforted him at the right time: "We will see how Chief Assistant Yang Ge will take advantage of Jiang Bin's carelessness in the next three days to eradicate him in one fell swoop!"
"Oh, I'm really scared to death... If the young master is so sure, why are you trying to scare me? I can't stand it... By the way, the young master is not Yang Gelao, will he take action according to your ideas? What if?
It would be great if the young master could offer advice in front of Mr. Yang Ge now."
Su Xigui's mood was greatly disturbed by Zhu Hao.
As soon as he had a little joy, he was immediately knocked to the bottom, and then he was pulled up and beaten repeatedly. Su Xigui felt that his spirit could hardly be stretched.
"Don't worry, I'll make a prediction."
Zhu Hao said, "The next two days will be calm, and then Jiang Bin will be ordered to go to the palace. When he comes back, he will find that his military power has been taken away, and he will flee in a hurry. As a result, he will be captured in front of the city gate. From then on, the party members will be separated and destroyed! Let's talk about this first.
