Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to accept the promise, turned around and cupped his hands to the ministers and said: "My lords, this matter is extremely important. The previous emperor only had one heir, the emperor, and the emperor had no heir to inherit the throne. The emperor passed away, and the queen mother was left alone.
Although the new emperor is a close relative of the royal family, he is not the direct bloodline of the previous emperor. How will the Queen Mother handle herself in the palace in the future? As ministers, we must consider the Queen Mother.
Otherwise, how can we feel at ease? Therefore, my idea is that the new emperor who ascends the throne must inherit the bloodline of the previous emperor and recognize the queen mother as his mother. From now on, there will be only one queen mother in the palace. The new emperor will be the son of the previous emperor, and the emperor’s
Ascension to the throne as brothers not only guarantees the honor of the Queen Mother, but also rectifies the legitimate identity of the emperor's heir, so as to avoid mistakes in the future and causing the Queen Mother to be wronged. Do you think it is appropriate, sir?"
After hearing this, all the ministers nodded.
Fei Hong said: "Yang Shoufu has considered everything thoroughly, so it should be like this. This move kills two birds with one stone, it is very appropriate."

Cao Yuandao said: "This is very good. The new emperor inherits the blood of the previous emperor and succeeds the emperor's brother. This is a brother's and brother's and a natural and natural move. Respecting the queen mother as mother, the name of the emperor's heir, the queen mother is still the queen mother, and the emperor is still the emperor. This is the right thing to do.
in this way."
All the ministers agreed, saying that this should be the case and had no objections.
Yang Tinghe nodded and said: "Since everyone agrees, then the matter has been settled. The new emperor will not only inherit the throne, but also an heir. If there are changes in the future, everyone must write a letter to advise and explain the matter clearly. You must not shirk the blame."
All the ministers said one after another: "This is how it should be."
Empress Dowager Zhang sighed from behind the screen and said: "In this way, the Ai family will feel at ease. Then, the important matter has been settled. Yang Shoufu, after you retire from the court, please come to the Ai family palace and formulate a decree for the Ai family.
The country cannot live without a king for a day, so hurry up and send people to welcome the new emperor to come to Beijing and ascend the throne."
Yang Tinghe bowed and said: "I obey your order."
Empress Dowager Zhang stood up and said, "Then let's leave it at that."
Amidst the congratulations of all the ministers, Empress Dowager Zhang, accompanied by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, entered the side hall from behind the screen and returned to the palace.
In the afternoon, Queen Mother Zhang's decree was issued.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng issued an edict:
Site: Tower ^ reads novels, welcome to download - ^
The Ai family, with their surviving bodies, are entrusted by the late emperor and follow the emperor's wish to prepare this edict to announce to the world. The emperor passed away at a young age, the whole world is saddened, and all the people are mourning. Our great Ming Dynasty has lost its leader, and the country is in danger.
The emperor had no heirs during his lifetime, but the world must not be without a master, and the throne cannot be left vacant for a long time. When the emperor was still alive, he once mentioned the succession of the throne, saying that all the sons of the former emperor's brothers and kings could succeed him. Now I mourn my family.
Following the emperor's words, we will discuss with the ministers to decide on the choice of the new emperor.
After discussion among the ministers, it was concluded that Hou Xing, the eldest son of King Xing, the brother of the late Emperor Zha, has grown up. He is wise, benevolent, filial, and morally upright, and should be established according to the order of the emperor. In accordance with the precepts of Emperor Ming's ancestors, he is designated as the emperor's heir. Brother Xing
The gift of the final brother. From the day when this decree was announced, officials were sent to welcome him to the capital, and he succeeded to the throne of the emperor and succeeded to the Ming Dynasty. The Ai family has informed the ancestors of the ancestral temple about this important event.
Yang Tinghe summoned the ministers and read out the edict. After that, they immediately discussed the candidate to go to Anlu, Hubei to greet the new emperor.
After some deliberation, it was finally determined that Zhang Jin, the eunuch of the Inner Court Department of Rites, Wei Bin, the chief eunuch of the Yanxi Palace, Liang Chu, the bachelor of the outer court cabinet, Mao Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Honor, and Cui Duwei, the Prince Consort.
Yuan and others formed a huge team to welcome the new emperor.
The candidates were all-round, including people from the three major groups of the inner court, outer court, and nobles, which indirectly showed that the entire court recognized the new emperor. However, the people who passed were all marginal figures. The great scholar Liang Chu was old and dizzy, and he had been in a state of confusion for the past few months.
Recuperate at home and no longer care about cabinet affairs. The two inner court officials
The eunuchs did not have any actual power. They only represented the ceremonial eunuch and the other represented the Queen Mother. The Prince Consort Cui Yuan was the husband of Princess Yongkang, the daughter of Emperor Xianzong. They were originally the ones with no real power among the relatives. There were no consorts in the Ming Dynasty.
What kind of power is it? It’s completely symbolic.
The only powerful people here are Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, and Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo.
Xu Guangzuo actually didn't want to accept this job, but he had to accept it. Seeing that the matter was a done deal, if he refused to greet the new emperor, he would definitely be criticized in the future. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he would not suffer any good consequences.
So, he had to go.
In addition, he also ordered the Jin Yiwei Han General's camp to have 500 soldiers and horses, together with the 3,000 regiment soldiers and horses to go to greet him.
The next morning, the carriages and horses that greeted the new emperor left the capital from Yongding Gate and headed for Anlu Prefecture in Hubei Province.

At the same time, the emperor died and was buried in a grand ceremony, and the news that the Queen Mother Yi had established a new emperor spread to all parts of the Ming Dynasty as if it had wings. After five days of news blockade, Yang Tinghe ordered the curfew to be lifted and news released.
Because from Jiang Bin's mouth, Yang Tinghe learned that on the night before the emperor's funeral, someone used the Queen's handwritten edict from Guangning Gate to sneak out of the city. Jiang Bin reported the matter to Yang Tinghe that night, and Yang Tinghe immediately concluded that someone went out of the city to deliver the news.
In this case, the blockade has no meaning. If the blockade continues, it will leave an excuse in the end. It is better to announce the news to the world after the Queen Mother Yi issued the decree. Anyway, the dust has settled.
After the Queen Mother's decree was issued, everything has entered an irreversible process. Anlu Prefecture in Hubei is not very far away. It takes half a month for the new emperor to arrive in the capital. Even if Zhang Yanling and others got the news, they could not come back in time.
As for Queen Xia, Yang Tinghe didn't even think about checking her. Because he didn't know if someone used Queen Xia's name to sneak out of the palace. What should he do to Queen Xia at this moment? Once Queen Xia started to make trouble,
Instead, he becomes passive.
Moreover, Queen Xia has now become the most embarrassing person in the entire palace. Her husband has died and the new emperor has nothing to do with her. From now on, she can only live alone in a certain palace until her death.
There's no point in messing with her.
…
On the south bank of the Yellow River in Dalat City, time goes back to the afternoon three days ago.
Three wooden sailboats arrived slowly, dragged by many small boats, which surprised Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun.
But this was not the only surprise. On the decks of the three wooden sailboats docked, Zhang Yanling saw Tian Dongxin and two servants at home. This surprised Zhang Yanling.
First published: Tower & Reading Novel
The two servants, one named Wang Damao and the other Zhang Ajun, were the two smartest servants in the family. Seeing them coming with the boat, Zhang Yanling knew that Xu Wanyi and the others must have sent these two people here.
It's just strange how they were on this wooden sailboat and how they got on the boat with Tian Dongxin and the others.
Soon, Tian Dongxin reported the reason. It turned out that Tian Dongxin and others rushed back after returning to Beijing to report their victory. They met Wang Damao and Zhang Ajun on the official road west of Datong, approaching Piantou Pass. After asking, they found out that they were
They had never traveled far and took the wrong road. They originally wanted to enter Hetao from Piantou Pass, but it was better for them to go directly from Yuzhou North Black Mountain Fort to enter the Tatar territory.
When they arrived at Heishan Fort, they were stopped by the Ming Dynasty's border troops and almost killed as traitors. After learning that they were servants of the Protector's Mansion, he pointed them to the right path. The two of them turned around and walked towards Piantou Pass. In the middle
After being delayed for more than ten days, Tian Dongxin and the others were in a hurry and kept working day and night. Instead, they met Tian Dongxin and the others who were turned back.
After that, they walked together. After arriving at the Yellow River Ferry at Piantou Pass, the pontoon ferry here was being dismantled, and three wooden sailing boats also arrived. Of course, the navy soldier manning the wooden sailing boat knew Tian Dongxin, so he simply boarded the boat and started sailing.
Come all the way by water.
Zhang Yanling was speechless after hearing this story. These two guys, Wang Damao and Zhang Ajun, are really stupid. They looked very smart at home, but they looked like headless flies when they went out. After scolding them, they were seen crying.
They looked tired and let it go. The two of them sent letters from home and brought a lot of food and supplies. This was exactly what Zhang Yanling longed for.
Zhang Yanling also quickly learned about the arduous journey of the three wooden sailing boats in the past three months. After tracing the river mouth from the Bohai Bay, they could still sail in the river at first, but soon they were unable to move at all. The boats were stranded in the muddy river.
It's almost commonplace and there is no way to move forward at all.
As a last resort, the hundreds of households on board had to order all people on board to go down to pull fibers. In addition to the necessary operators on the three wooden boats, the remaining hundreds of people all got off the boats to pull fibers. If they encountered a stranding, they would be towed manually.
During this period, we hired local people, trackers, mules and horses to help us more than once. We could only travel at a speed of several miles every day. We relied on pulling fiber to move inch by inch, and we walked for three months before we arrived at Piantou Pass Ferry.
.After that, the boat dragged along, and the river here was quite deep, so we got here.
After hearing the description of the soldiers and horses on the wooden boat, Zhang Yanling was fine, but Zhang Lun couldn't close his mouth. These people are really perseverant. They managed to pull the boat for three months. What kind of perseverance is this.

"What on earth are you thinking? Just don't come if you can't come. Is this what you're doing?" Zhang Lun asked the dark-skinned soldier, who was almost inhuman.
"That can't be done. The Protector of the Country has an order. We will have to wait not to mention three months, but three years to arrive. This is a military order and cannot be violated." said the hundred households.
Zhang Lun glanced at Zhang Yanling, who was smiling and silent, in astonishment, and extended his thumb.
