Half a month since Luan's assassination, there has been no movement in the Forbidden City, and the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Cabinet Ministers have not been seen.

Because of the offices of the military aircraft and the cabinet, in the Wuying Hall and the Wenhua Hall in the former dynasty of the Forbidden City, after the assassination, the cabinet and the ministers of the military aircraft ate and drank in the palace.

The officials of various ministries are in the official offices in the imperial city, and many officials are anxious and want to inquire about the news, but they can't enter the palace, and the official documents can only be passed through the basket to the noon gate.

Although there is no news in the palace, many people already have the bottom in their hearts, and the emperor is afraid that something has really happened!

Otherwise, why close the palace gates, and the cabinet and military ministers do not come out? It must be a discussion about who will inherit the unification!

Some officials with ideas began to be unable to sit still, and Ning Jinbo, who had been a grandson for several years, and other Nanjing nobles could not sit still.

They learned through the news transmitted by the secret line in the palace that the tyrant had indeed died!

After getting the news, Liu Yunji, who almost had internal injuries in the palace, lost sleep and began to contact all parties and nobles, as well as some courtiers with strong connections, ready to nominate Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, to inherit the throne.

Taking advantage of the vassal kings' obsessive eyes, the big thing was given! (News of the counterinsurgency has not yet reached Nanjing.) ）

It stands to reason that it is the best choice to support the restoration of the Emperor Taishang, but the Emperor Taishang is in Guangxi and is tied up by the King of Jingjiang.

Rather than looking up to King Jingjiang's snort, it is better to elect a person around him, and Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, is undoubtedly the best choice.

According to the Ming Dynasty succession system, there is a grandson, no grandson, brother and brother, although the tyrant has a queen, she is indeed a princess, and she is naturally not qualified to inherit the throne.

Therefore, in accordance with the system of brother to brother, Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, can inherit the throne, which legally occupies the commanding heights, and even the emperor is not easy to oppose.

Supporting the establishment of a new monarch, from the dragon's work, in all dynasties and dynasties is a piece of heavenly merit, Nanjing nobles and some ministers who learned of this matter immediately climaxed.

Just like the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, after the death of Emperor Hongguang, the southeastern forces supported the succession of King Tang, the southwestern forces supported the succession of King Gui, and those who supported King Lu and Jingjiang were all for the interests and power of the water.

There was an undercurrent surging in the city of Nanjing, and in the rumors that believed to be true, all the bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes jumped out to discuss the succession of the king, as if they had seen the death of Emperor Tianwu with their own eyes.

After hearing the news, Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, was so frightened that he shrank in the Dingwang Mansion all day long, and the gate of the palace was closed, and no one was seen.

The group of nobles and ministers headed by Ning Jinbo and Liu Yunji first asked the emperor to convene a court meeting at the noon gate to test the situation in the palace.

For two days, there was no news in the palace, until the third day, it seemed that it could not withstand the pressure outside the palace, and Yang Tinglin, the first assistant to the cabinet, and Sun Yingyuan, the chief minister of military aircraft, jointly ordered the opening of the noon gate and the convening of a court meeting.

The bell of the court meeting finally rang again, and the nobles, civil and military officials entered the Forbidden City with apprehension.

The silent whip sounded three times, in the Fengtian Palace, the golden bell, the jade chime, the Cheng Cheng Cong, crisp and pleasant, the furnace, the ding, the turtle, the crane, spit out wisps of cigarettes, and the civil and military officials were solemnly waiting.

Everyone has different hearts, but after waiting for a long time, they can't wait for the diligent Tianwu Emperor, and Liu Yunji and the others are even more happy in their hearts.

After a while, Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet with blue circles and a sallow complexion, walked into the hall, and he came with Sun Yingyuan, the prince of Qin, who also had a poor complexion.

The two civil and military ministers were wearing python robes, standing in front of the civil and military officials, and the first assistant Yang Tinglin glanced at everyone, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, today's court meeting is presided over by the cabinet and military aircraft, just say something." ”

"How's your majesty? I'd like to pay a visit. A courtier spoke.

"Yes, it's been so long, how is Your Majesty?"

Yang Tinglin frowned and said: "Your Majesty is fine, you can recover in a few days, your colleagues have something to say, if you have nothing to do, the tide will recede!" ”

Liu Chengyin said: "Elder Yang Ge, what do you mean by this?" The monarch's father is not in good health, and I, as a courtier, ask for a visit, isn't it a matter of course? How can you not ask and go? ”

Seeing that someone from the military department also jumped out, Sun Yingyuan said with a calm face: "Above the court meeting, discussing state affairs, you discuss these things in private!" ”

Liu Yunji suddenly said in a loud voice: "Isn't the succession to the throne a major national event? ”

Sun Yingyuan stared at him and said, "Ning Jinbo, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Since the assassination of His Majesty, it has disappeared for half a month, during this period the palace gate is closed, the Jingshi is under martial law, Yang Ge Lao, Qin Guogong, please give us an explanation, what happened? Your Majesty is still there! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Yang Tinglin shouted: "Ning Jinbo, are you eating bear hearts today?" Dare to say such a rebellious thing! ”

At a glance at this tone, several Nanjing nobles were overjoyed, and several cabinet and military ministers were empty-hearted, there must be ghosts!

The rude Cheng Anbo Guo Zuoyong jumped out and said: "What's so presumptuous, if you re-establish a new king, then be happy, who else can you set up besides the king?" What's so grinding? ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, they had long heard the rumors that the emperor had been assassinated and died, and they had always refused to believe it, but the recent rumors have become more and more intense, and now several nobles have actually stabbed this matter in court!

Sun Yingyuan ordered the Imperial Forest Army in the palace to say: "Come on, take down Cheng Amber!" ”

Guo Zuoyong jumped to his feet and said: "This is Fengtian Palace, why do you Qin Guogong take me?" Do you still want to learn from Hong Chengchou to be the regent? ”

Sun Yingyuan wanted to go up and get him a beating, but he was in a high position and was becoming more and more low-key, so he had to endure it with a calm face.

There was a buzz in the Fengtian Temple, and several nobles began to agitate the officials to promote the establishment of the king.

Ning Jinbo and Liu Yunji secretly observed the expressions of Sun Yingyuan and Yang Tinglin, and saw that the two of them were a little anxious, and felt that they had a ghost in their hearts, afraid that they were deliberately delaying, and wanted to establish the child in the queen's womb and keep their status!

Liu Yunji, who saw through the "truth", laughed and said, "Do you think this matter can be hidden?" It's ridiculous! ”

Yang Tinglin couldn't bear to let him fall deeper and deeper, and kindly reminded: "Ning Jinbo, don't fall deeper and deeper." ”

"Sinking deeper and deeper?"

Liu Yunji smiled, as long as Emperor Tianwu is gone, who else is he afraid of, Sun Yingyuan, the prince of Qin State, who is in charge of the army? This guy is not the material of the ministers!

Liu Yun said in a loud voice: "At present, the rebellion of the vassal kings in various places has not been pacified, in order to consolidate the country, Ben Bo suggests welcoming His Royal Highness King Dingding as the new king!" ”

Nanhe Bofang Yiyuan, Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong, Ancheng Bo Zhang Guocai, Luo Zhongbo Huang Jiuding, Cheng Anbo Guo Zuoyong and other nobles immediately raised their hands in agreement, and some ministers also spoke out in support.

Looking at the situation, Emperor Tianwu is afraid that it is really gone, no matter what, the sooner he expresses his position, the greater his political qualifications in the future!

At this moment, a shrill shout came from behind the hall: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
