Chapter 1499 The mountain collapsed, and the emperor died
Chapter 1498: The mountains collapsed, and the emperor died...
Palace Garden, Hanyuan Hall——
Just as the ministers in the palace were hungry from early morning to noon, their chests pressed against their backs, and worried about the next development of this coup, a young Fuwei Xiaomao with blood on his face could be seen crossing the threshold and entering quickly.
In the palace, he said urgently:
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Prince Wei is here."
When King Wei heard this, his heart became even more angry, his face was as gloomy as iron, and two gleams of light like electricity could be seen flashing in his eyes.
Under Liang Wang's sword-browed eyebrows, his eyes were full of anger, and he said angrily: "This Jia Ziyu is really bullying others!"
Empress Song's graceful and gorgeous jade face couldn't help but be covered with a layer of cold frost, and she scolded: "I'm going to ask him if he still has the will of heaven and the human heart."
Are you really a ruthless person?
Does he still want his own children? Does he still want her?
It's fine if you don't help, but you still want to support the king of Chu and his vassals?
At this moment, Jia Heng and Jingying Xiaorui behind him were gradually approaching Hanyuan Hall, while the Wei and Liang palace guards who had originally gathered in front of Hanyuan Hall were gradually dispersing, holding bright steel knives in their hands, and retreating towards the hall.
Jia Heng waved his hand, signaling for the guards of the Beijing Camp behind him to stop and stand upright. Under his two sword-shaped eyebrows, he stared at the two vermilion palace doors that were slowly opening.
Then there was a graceful and quiet figure in front of him.
Immediately, the graceful and beautiful Empress Song came quickly, like a delicate peony.
"Jia Ziyu, do you recognize me?" Empress Song's eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were filled with cold light, and her jade face, as crystal clear as snow, was full of sullenness.
This heartless person just refused to help her, but he actually served the King of Chu?
What did she let this little fox bully? What benefits did King Chu give him to make him die like this?
King Liang's eyes filled with anger, he shouted at the young man in the python suit and said: "Jia Ziyu, you led the troops into the palace, are you planning to rebel?"
King Wei raised his sword eyebrows, with traces of fierceness flickering in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Jia Ziyu, this is a family matter of the clan, what qualifications do you have to interfere?"
Jia Heng frowned, raised his head, shouted, and said: "Heng is the emperor's son-in-law, how come he can't take care of the clan's family affairs?"
In addition to being the King of Hanwei County, he was also the son-in-law of Emperor Chongping. With this status, he was qualified to participate in the clan's household chores.
Just when Jia Heng felt confident, he heard that charming voice. He clearly heard Empress Song speaking loudly, with a hint of scolding, and asked: "Jia Ziyu, are you really going to go against me?"
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, he raised his eyes to look at Empress Song. At this moment, he met a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, full of anger and hostility.
I saw the beauty dressed in a vermilion dress, with a gorgeous cloud bun. Her jade face was as red as drunkenness, and her pink lips that looked like red pearls were slightly moist, but her snow-skinned and jade-faced face seemed to be covered by a cloud.
A layer of frost.
He secretly thought, is this a sweet girl? She really walked past, with an aura of 2.8 meters?
Different from later TV dramas, where smoky makeup was more often used to show the "blackening" trend, Empress Song showed a fierce attitude that turned all living beings upside down with just one look.
Jia Heng's eyes were deep under his sword-shaped eyebrows, and he stared at Empress Song and said, "Wei Chen has met your empress."
In fact, he didn't want to confront Sweet Girl directly.
Queen Song's beautiful eyes were sharp and she said in a bad tone: "Jia Ziyu, do you really want to go against me?"
Jia Heng bowed his hands and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the sacred decree is like heaven. I dare not disobey it. Please forgive me."
Empress Song raised her eyebrows, and Fangxin couldn't help but get angry. She secretly cursed someone who could kill a thousand swordsmen. At this time, couldn't he help her?
At this moment, all the civil and military ministers in the palace also came out in darkness and looked at the young man in python suit who had led the soldiers from the Beijing camp, with complicated expressions on their faces.
At this moment, it was King Wei of the Han Dynasty who once again turned the tide. Thinking of all the suspicions in the past, many thin-skinned civil servants felt inexplicably guilty.
Jia Heng said loudly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has been conscientious in the affairs of the country since he was emperor. He worked hard and worked hard at night, so that he became sick from worry and fatigue. He has no shame in paying homage to the country and the people of the Han Dynasty. Since the Holy Order recognizes the King of Chu as the East Palace, the humble ministers have since
You must obey your orders, and please do not make things difficult for me."
Queen Song stared at the young man and said sternly: "Jia Ziyu, do you really want to force me?"
Jia Heng raised his head, looked at Empress Song unwilling to be outdone, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the civil and military forces in the world have what they want. Why should I be forced to do anything to you?"
At least this was the will of Emperor Chongping. As for whether the King of Chu had lost his moral integrity after taking the throne, that is a question on another level. At least as the emperor's son-in-law, he fully complied with Emperor Chongping's will.
This is blameless in the eyes of outsiders.
Queen Song's pretty face turned pale with anger, her beautiful eyebrows stood up straight, and her beautiful, crystal-clear eyes were filled with fierceness.
Jia Heng did not continue to argue with Empress Song, but turned to look at Li Zan and asked: "Mr. Li Ge, where is your Majesty now?"
Li Zan said: "The Holy Emperor has moved to the study room in Hanyuan Hall."
At this moment, a young internal eunuch with a white face and a beardless face suddenly ran from a distance and said: "Sir, Your Majesty is dying. We urgently summon the cabinet military aircraft to the study for a talk."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was confronting each other in front of the palace was shocked.
Is the Holy One about to die?
In fact, after all this trouble, Emperor Chongping was already exhausted mentally and physically. After he moved to his study room, he fell into a daze of consciousness. Not long after, he began to
Entering his final moments.
Li Zan's face became a little solemn, his eyes paused slightly, and he said: "Mr. Gao Ge, we will go to the inner study immediately."
At this moment, Emperor Chongping is about to pass away, and they, the cabinet ministers, need to kneel down and accept the imperial edict.
At this moment, Gao Zhongping, Lu Jiang and others followed Li Zan to the study room in the side hall, while other officials stared at them.
At this moment, Jia Heng also got up and walked to the study in the side hall.
Well, he is also a military aircraft.
The anger that had been accumulating in Queen Song's heart at this moment completely relaxed, and a trace of confusion appeared in her crystal clear eyes.
After all, they had been married to Emperor Chongping for many years. The moment Emperor Chongping passed away, this beauty felt a little sad in her heart.
In other words, the conscience and emotions in a beautiful woman's heart are intertwined, and she has mixed feelings.
Hanyuan Hall, in the inner study room——
While the cabinet ministers were talking, they opened the cotton curtain hanging on the door and quickly entered the inner study. Their eyes flickered and they stared at Emperor Chongping who was lying on the soft couch covered with blankets.
, feeling confused.
When Emperor Chongping approached Dai Quan, a look of sadness appeared on his fair and elegant face, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, several cabinet ministers are here."
"Where is Ziyu?" At this moment, Emperor Chongping was lying on a bed covered with a soft mattress. He was covered with a quilt embroidered with peonies and the word "Fu". His whole body exuded an aura of tragic defeat that represented death.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Jia Heng came closer, his face paused slightly, and he cupped his hands.
Emperor Chongping's voice seemed to be full of vitality with a hint of retrospection, and he said: "Ziyu... are you here?"
Jia Heng stepped forward quickly, knelt down with a pop, and said: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Emperor Chongping seemed to take a breath. After a while, his voice became extremely hoarse. He called out and said, "Ziyu, where is the prince?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in Ningguo Mansion." Jia Heng looked solemn and said, "After receiving the distress signal from His Highness the Crown Prince, I quickly went to Shenjing City to mobilize soldiers and headed to the palace to serve the king."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongping said with a hint of weakness in his voice: "Zi Yu, after my great success, you and the cabinet will assist the crown prince in ascending the throne and do your best."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart seemed to be shaken, and his voice was slightly choked, and he said: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."
Usually when this happens, the ministers burst into tears.
Emperor Chongping stretched out an old skeleton hand again, and asked in an old and thin voice: "Where is Mr. Li Ge?"
"Your Majesty, I am here." Li Zan said in a calm voice, his face paused slightly, and he knelt down.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a while, as if he was concentrating his energy. His hoarse voice was a little thin, and he warned: "Mr. Li Ge, the prince is young and ill-informed. He is new to the throne and often has careless thoughts. You and the cabinet will
All ministers should assist with all their heart, and must not slack off in the slightest."
At this moment, Li Zan's resolute face was full of sadness, and there was a hint of crying in his voice, and he said with choked sobs: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "Old Gaoge."
Gao Zhongping knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Emperor Chongping said: "The prince is from a commoner family and has a shallow foundation. You should give more advice and advice."
When Gao Zhongping was in Qiandi, he had a good relationship with King Chen Ran of Wei. Emperor Chongping knew that Gao Zhongping was more sympathetic to King Wei's experience, so this could be regarded as helping King Chu win over people.
Gao Zhongping said in a clear voice: "I have received many favors from the emperor, but I only know how to serve you with utmost care and dedication, and then die."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a while, and then said with a bit of hoarseness in his voice: "Where is King Wei?"
At this time, the cabinet minister Lu Jiang was already eager to try, because once he was summoned by Emperor Chongping, it meant that from now on, he would be the sole minister and the legacy of the two dynasties. This kind of political capital is undoubtedly quite rich and can benefit three generations.
However, half a while passed, and Emperor Chongping still showed no sign of summoning his cabinet ministers again, and his heart could not help but sink to the bottom of his heart.
Obviously, cabinet entrustment is limited to the first assistant and second assistant in the cabinet, and has not been extended to cabinet ministers.
Lin Ruhai looked at this scene and sighed secretly in his heart. This kind of support is often given to the ministers of the generals and ministers of the Zhu Kingdom. Doesn't everyone have it?
Jia Heng's face was solemn, his eyes were deep, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is still in the Hanyuan Palace. The palace has been re-occupied by the Jinyi Palace Guards. The overall situation in the palace is stable, and everything in the capital is going well."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and then he said in a hoarse and weak voice: "The cabinet has drafted a decree to demote the kings of Wei and Liang, depose them to common people, and drive them back to live in the vassal territory. They will be strictly supervised by a separate department and will not be allowed to leave."
Half a step to the fiefdom!"
Li Zan's face paused slightly, and he raised his hands and said yes.
Jia Heng looked at Emperor Chongping quietly, his eyes flashed, and he sighed in his heart.
Before the emperor died, he did not kill the Wei and Liang vassals. In other words, the emperor finally felt compassion.
After all, if the tiger's poison does not eat its children, it cannot kill three children in a row, but this problem is thrown to the successor.
After Emperor Chongping said this, he spent a lot of his life force on it. His voice became increasingly weak and weak, and he said in a hissing voice: "The cabinet military planes and Prince Wei must assist the prince with all their heart, and jointly create the great Han Dynasty's resurgence... a prosperous age."
The word "prosperity" seemed to have exhausted the middle-aged emperor's life's energy, and the tone suddenly became a little higher.
After saying this, Emperor Chongping stretched out a hand and seemed to have regained his sight. The eyes in the white cloth opened, and then the revolving door of life flashed before his eyes.
There was the reticence of childhood in the deep palace, the keeping of a low profile when he was in the mansion, the ambition of Jian Zuo to ascend the throne and accept the congratulations of the ministers, and the worry of managing state affairs... until Liaodong was pacified and the ancestors were worshiped in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in high spirits.
.
Eventually, the emperor's aura became weaker and weaker, and his consciousness was completely swallowed up and surrounded by darkness.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." At this moment, Dai Quan was calling in Emperor Chongping's ear. Then, he stretched out a hand and sniffed under Emperor Chongping's nose, and said in a cry-like voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."
It collapsed."
At this moment, the cabinet, military ministers and ministers who were kneeling in the inner study took off their crowns after hearing this. In an instant, cries broke out and spread outside the Nuan Pavilion.
For a moment, the eunuchs and palace maids outside the palace knelt down one after another, crying loudly, making the whole winter afternoon look particularly desolate and desolate.
In the 19th year of Chongping, Emperor Chongping, the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty, died at the age of 47 when he was in power for nearly 20 years.
It took five years from the Chongping New Deal to the pacification of Liaodong. During these five years, Emperor Chongping also established his historical status among the emperors of the Chen and Han dynasties, or in other words, among the emperors of the past dynasties.
No matter what, it will be a highlight in the history books of later generations.
He advocated the New Deal and pacified Liaodong, and his literary and military achievements are also commendable.
It's just that most historians of later generations will regard the Chongping Emperor who met Jia Heng, the king of Wei County, and the Chongping Emperor in the early period as two historical periods.
At this moment, Jia Heng knelt down and cried along with the cabinet, military and ministers. In this environment of general mourning and crying, he was also involved in grief.
Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, he has indeed been called a wise king who is diligent and caring for the people. In the early stage, he took the Chongzhen template, and later, after having a close relationship with him, he took the Yongzheng template.
When the ministers in the direction of Hanyuan Hall heard bursts of crying coming from the study room in the side hall, they naturally realized something.
The mountains collapsed, and the emperor passed away.
The King of Wei, the King of Liang, and the civil and military officials on the eaves of the corridor all took off their official hats, knelt down in darkness, and the palace was filled with wailing.
Empress Song stood there, turned her head and looked towards the direction of the inner study. It was almost as if she was struck by lightning. She felt a heart-breaking pain, and a huge sadness like a flood, drowning Empress Song in an instant.
.
He hasn't decided to marry her yet, and he hasn't given her an explanation yet, so how can he leave?
How could he leave?
Empress Song was filled with grief, and she felt that her eyes could not help but darken. The female officials around her had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly stepped forward to help the beauty who was about to fall.
"Empress."
The King of Wei and the King of Liang knelt down at this moment, their faces as pale as paper, their eyes a little dark, and they stared towards the inner study room of the side hall.
While my heart was at a loss, there was an unspeakable fear.
Father left so suddenly...
It can be said that today's palace coup has become the trigger for the death of Emperor Chongping, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
Both of them have a reputation of being unfilial, which is spread both at home and abroad.
On the other side, outside the study room, Empress Dowager Feng also arrived outside the study room in Hanyuan Hall with the support of the old nuns and concubines in the palace. Tears could be seen on her wrinkled face.
In the past few years, Empress Dowager Feng has experienced the pain of losing her husband and her son, and has become increasingly senile. At this moment, she is trembling and grieving.
While speaking, Empress Dowager Feng, accompanied by her nanny and female officer, entered the inner study and looked at the middle-aged emperor lying on the soft couch.
Empress Dowager Feng was even more sad at this moment. She burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, my Majesty..."
While talking, he came up to the middle-aged emperor, and immediately took the middle-aged emperor's hand, which was as old as a dry branch, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Jia Heng was currently crying to Emperor Chongping in front of the bed. He immediately looked at Li Zan and said, "Mr. Li Ge, the emperor has passed away. We should take care of the affairs of Emperor Daxing and decide on his posthumous title.
"
All these funeral arrangements must be taken care of.
Of course, there is also the need to support a new king.
