When the emperor said this, the faces of the people in the dormitory were different, but the emperor seemed to have lost his spirit, and his eyelids drooped, as if he would close his eyes at any time.

Huang Mengyu quietly turned his head and whispered something to Meng Chong, Meng Chong suddenly realized, stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "Holy Message: Before the new monarch is in power, the political affairs will be decided by Mr. Yuan Fugao. ”

Gao Gong and the other three auxiliary ministers could only receive the order, Feng Bao was pale on the side, and kept giving Zhang Juzheng a look, hoping that he could see it.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flickered, but he didn't look at Feng Bao, so anxious that Feng Bao couldn't wait to jump forward, grabbed his ear and asked him loudly, "What should I do?" ”

But after the holy edict pronounced by the emperor of Meng Chong's generation was spoken, the emperor's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes, which had been quite dull, also moved, looking at the crown prince.

The crown prince didn't know what the emperor meant, knelt down in front of the emperor, and asked tentatively: "Is my father afraid that his sons will mess around?" The retainers will listen to Yuanfu's teachings well. ”

Long Qing nodded slightly, shook his head slightly, his eyes were seven points of reassurance, three points of helplessness, he closed his eyes lightly, and waved his right hand towards the three auxiliary ministers.

His right hand was grabbed by Empress Chen and Concubine Li, this action was only noticed by the two of them, the two glanced at each other, or Empress Chen spoke: "The three gentlemen have the order, please go first...... Drafting of the edict. ”

The three auxiliary ministers didn't hear the emperor speak, so they had to look up at the emperor together, and saw that the emperor bowed slightly, knowing that it was not Empress Chen who made her own opinion, so she put her mind at ease and bowed to the order.

Concubine Li Guifei saw that Empress Chen had missed Gao Shipra, and hurriedly said: "Little Gaoqing's family, you have been accompanying the prince to watch the government, and you also went with the three gentlemen to help the prince take a look." ”

The prince was a little inexplicable, and said secretly: The mother concubine is in a hurry? The drafting of the edict has always been the business of the cabinet, and I will not look at the government to observe the draft of the edict.

Empress Chen frowned slightly, glanced at the emperor, saw that the emperor did not react, thought about it, and finally did not speak.

Gao pragmatic walked to the royal couch, knelt down and bowed, and went out with the three auxiliary ministers. Before leaving, he glanced at the position where several great eunuchs were standing, seemingly casually.

After all the ministers left, Concubine Li Guifei asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, are all the affairs of the outer court really handed over to Yuan Fu to deal with?" ”

Long Qing nodded.

Concubine Li Guifei was a little speechless and stopped, Empress Chen glanced at her, and simply helped her ask what was in her heart, and said: "Yuanfu is a loyal minister, but the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, there must be some means just in case, I don't know if the emperor has any arrangements?" ”

The emperor had said a lot of things before, but now he was almost out of oil, and when he heard Empress Chen's words, he just turned his eyes to the prince and spit out a few words with difficulty: "I ...... taught. ”

Taught?

Taught the Prince?

Empress Chen and Concubine Li looked at the crown prince together, the prince was originally stunned, but at this moment he also came to his senses, nodded vigorously, and said, "Father, the son remembers." ”

This sentence seemed to give Long Qing great comfort, and his expression was relieved, and his eyes closed slightly. Grabbing the right hand of the queen and the concubine, and grabbing the left hand of the crown prince at the same time, he lost his strength and landed on the royal couch.

Later generations of history: "Ji You, on the disease gradually, summoned scholars Gao Gong, Guo Pu, Zhang Juzheng to the Qianqing Palace to receive orders, Gong and other diseases to the palace. The left and right summoned the auxiliary ministers to, leaned on the royal couch, and the middle palace and the imperial concubine were on the side of the imperial couch. The east palace stands on the left, and the prince accompanies the reading of high pragmatism and worships, and the arch and so on kneel under the royal bed. The celebrant announced Gu Ming's order and said: "My heir to the great unification of the ancestors, in the sixth year of this year, occasionally got this disease, and he couldn't get up, and he was entrusted by the emperor. The East Palace is young, and the three ministers such as Fu Zhiqing should cooperate with each other, abide by the ancestral system, and protect the emperor's map. Qing and other merits are in the community, and they will not be lost forever. ”

Gong waited for the salty cry and kowtowed. At that time, the illness was urgent, although the mouth could not speak, and the ministers were familiar with it, and the jaw was even trusted, and after the three ministers of the filial piety temple Gu Tuo, only goodbye also. [Wufeng Note: After Ming Xiaozong, the three auxiliary ministers were taken as the order, this is the second time. ]

Gengxu, collapsed in the Qianqing Palace. The next day, the funeral was held, and the edict was issued:

"I am a good person, I am a good person, the monarch is Wanfang, and I have been in the city for six years. Worked hard all night, trying to make a reason, but I was afraid that there would be a lonely emperor to entrust. But now the sickness is gone, and the death cannot be prosperous. The husband is born and dies, like day and night, since ancient times, who can avoid it? But if you win people in the dimension, and the artifact has a master, I will abandon the world, so why regret?

The crown prince is smart, benevolent and filial, so that the virtue is natural, and the emperor should be the heir, he abides by the constitution of his ancestors, lectures on pro-sage, and uses his lover sparingly.

His funeral is in accordance with the legacy of the first emperor, with the day and the month, the 27th release, no music is forbidden to marry, the prince of the clan, the screen is sent, and he cannot leave the country. The town guards and governors, the general soldiers and other officials of the three divisions of the capital cloth are strictly sealed and the army and the people are pacified, and they are not allowed to perform their duties without permission. Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and the Yamen below the seven grades of the political secretary are exempt from incense.

The edict is issued at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. ”

The emperor died......

Emperor Longqing reigned for six years, and his life span was thirty and six.

An era has passed, and a new era is coming. However, during the alternation of the old and the new, there is also a transition period between the past and the future, and there are still many things to be busy inside and outside the court.

The coffin of Emperor Daxing stopped in the Renzhi Palace, which was commonly known as the White Tiger Hall in the Ming Dynasty, and the prince had to cry here with the queen, concubine and others for a few days, and could not ascend the throne immediately.

Under the guidance of Gao Pragmatic, the crown prince first issued several fatwa decrees as the crown prince:

order all the gates and officials inside and outside the imperial city to strictly guard the customs;

ordered the military department and the commander of the Beijing camp to send troops to guard the gates of the imperial city, such as the 23rd year of Chenghua;

Let the university scholar Gao Gong guard the department as before;

ordered Datong General Soldier Ma Fang and Xuanfu General Soldier Zhao Qi to send soldiers and horses to strictly guard the Imperial Mausoleum of Tianshou Mountain;

Cause......

At the same time, the foreign court also had to seize the time to handle various related affairs.

Renzi, university scholar Gao Gong, etc., on the persuasion of the instrument note. The crown prince cried in the Hall of Wisdom and did not answer.

Jiayin, a scholar and a scholar Gao Gong and other civil and military officials, led the military and civilians, etc., to persuade them to enter at the gate of the pole, saying:

Fu Yi, the three spirits are blessed with the calendar, Zuo is Michang, and the heart of the four seas is home. Yang Shengshen's succession as a preface, belonging to Dai Junqin, but the emperor of Daxing is benevolent, filial piety, thrifty and diligent, and civilized and upright...... However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is respectful and gentle, and the day is about to ...... Perform the supreme and make Liuhe, receive the orthodoxy of the ancient emperors, and visit China to Sui Quartet. Unveil the sun and the moon in Chonghua, protect the universe and Yongtai.

The crown prince preached in the Renzhi Hall and said: "Look, see the notes you entered." Qing and others are worried about the country's intentions, and they are concerned about grief, how can the matter of succession be heard? Please do not allow it.

Yi Mao, the crown prince mourned the royal Wenhua Palace, and the university scholar Gao Gong led a hundred officials, and led the army and the people to persuade him again, saying......

After the crown prince finished reading, he summoned the ministers into the palace to make a speech, and soon passed the prince's decree: Qing and others are the most important plan for the sect, and the words are earnest. Please do not allow it.

Bingchen, the crown prince mourned the imperial Wenhua Palace, and the university scholar Gao Gong led the hundred officials, led the army and the people and the elders in Beijing to persuade him again, and said......

After the crown prince finished reading, he summoned the cabinet ministers, the palm seals of the five prefectures, the governor of Jingying, the six Shangshu, the imperial history of the left capital and other officials, and each official made a speech.

After a long time, the edict said: Qing and other conjuncts are pleased, and then to the third, they have been faithful. The heavenly position is extremely important, it is difficult to be honest for a long time, and the situation is bowing to the end, and I dare not be stubborn, and I reluctantly obey the invitation.

He also instructed the Ministry of Rites to choose a day to have a ritual to hear.

On the same day, the auxiliary ministers and lecturers were given fresh bamboo shoots of more than three grades in each yamen.

The next day, Ding Si, the Ministry of Rites ascended to the pole note.

Zhao Zhao Huang Ming, so far there has been a new monarch.
