Chapter 719 The Emperor's Testament

The ancients were not called dead in their fifties, but Zhu Yujian is now seventy and seventy, nearly half a hundred years old.

He since he ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven, dedicated to restoring the ancestral foundation, continuing Zhu Ming's country, has already worked hard into a disease, he knows that time is running out, and Zhu Ming's imperial power is declining day by day, under the anxiety in his heart, coupled with the defeat of the peace matter, the people in the court are unstable, and the foreign court's ministers and the inner court are fighting again, he is anxious to transfer the contradictions, with the Daxing Sixth Division to the east, in order to recover Nanjing.

After more than 270 years, the dynasty was in the twilight, all kinds of problems piled up into diseases, and it was already terminally ill.

Emperor Longwu was anxious to use the little time left to sweep away some haze for the prince and Zhu Ming's country, so he urgently needed to recover Nanjing.

In this way, externally, he can drive Jianyi to the north of the Yangtze River to eliminate the danger of losing the country, and internally, he can rely on the great prestige of recovering Nanjing, suppress the ministers, and lay a good foundation for future generations, but all of this is because of the defeat of the big victory, reduced to a dream bubble.

The army retreated to Ma'anshan, and Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren led troops to defend it.

The situation of the middle route army was originally very good, all the way to Wuhu, the gentry and people in the south of the Yangtze River were boiling, and there were not a few people who secretly helped the army, as long as they fought steadily and steadily, advancing layer by layer, the hope of recovering Nanjing was very possible.

Emperor Wu of Kelong was too eager to win, Wang Yan sent Wu Jinxi to persuade him not to go deep alone, and the left and right flanks were too far apart, but unfortunately at that time, the middle route army won one after another, and the morale reached its peak, which made him mistakenly think that Wang Yan did not want to see him recover Nanjing, so not only did he not listen, but urged Jin Shenghuan to enter the army, resulting in this defeat.

The army retreated to Ma'anshan, and the people reported that Zeng Ying, a bachelor who went out with the army, Lu Zhenfei, the governor of the left capital, Yang Dingqing, the chief military officer, and Xu Qiren, the commander of the Panshi Battalion of the left army of Wuwei, and other generals and ministers were all killed in the king's affairs, and more than half of the middle army was killed and wounded, and Emperor Longwu was sad, and he felt speechless to say goodbye to the ministers and the Jiangxi army and people.

The army was trapped in Ma'anshan, Longwu couldn't afford to fall ill, vomiting blood every day, the imperial doctor was helpless, his condition deepened day by day, and he was dying.

He knew that he was sick in his limbs and deep into his internal organs, and he had died not long ago, so he ordered Jin Shenghuan and others to enter and listen to his orders.

Jin Shenghuan entered the house, bowed to the dragon couch, choked and called, and after a while, a group of embarrassed ministers and generals also entered the house to bow down, and there were many crying and sobbing sounds.

Emperor Longwu reclined on the bed, the chamberlain went out for only a while, he fell asleep again, and now he heard the sound of whimpering, woke up leisurely, saw that the main civil and military forces in the house had arrived, weakly raised his thin hand, and said to everyone: "I inherited the unification when the two were lost to Anzong and the north hunt, after four years, painstaking management, and with the help of the ministers, fortunately to protect the southwest corner of the arrow, and to return to Chujiang, Sichuan, the land of eastern Sichuan, the situation was originally very good, but I was stubborn and self-serving, shallow in wisdom, did not accept loyalty, and brought defeat to myself. Now the situation is reversed, internal and external troubles, I regret and become ill, and die on the eve of death, but the prince is young, it is difficult to take on the big responsibility, the current crisis, I am not sorry to die, but the Ming Dynasty can not be broken. I am so far today, I have to entrust you with great things. ”

After Long Wu finished speaking, he was already in tears, the remorse and unwillingness in his heart were beyond words, tears flowed out of his sunken eyes, and slid down his pale cheeks.

Jin Shenghuan, Wan Yuan Ji and other civil and military ministers have already burst into tears, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, Jianyi has not been destroyed, the two capitals have not been restored, and the subjects of the world are waiting for Your Majesty to wash away the bloody flesh and sweep away the dust." ”

Emperor Longwu glanced at the ministers, saw King Tang kneeling aside, and called him closer: "Brother Huang come here." ”

The king of Tang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed under the dragon couch, bursting into tears, and the emperor stroked his back with his thin hand and said: "The emperor's younger brother once supervised the country in Guangzhou, resisted Jianyi's attack on Guangdong, and his prestige was spread in the government and the opposition. Now that I am collapsing, the emperor Linyuan is young, it is difficult to take on the big responsibility, and the situation is also suspicious of the young country, and the emperor's younger brother can inherit the unification. ”

After hearing this, King Tang was shocked, and he hurriedly wept and bowed to the ground: "If your brother An dares to have such a thought, he will definitely try his best to assist the emperor and nephew to fulfill his loyalty." “

Now that the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Linyuan, is less than two years old, Emperor Longwu naturally wants to be succeeded by the prince in his heart, but he now has no time to build a stable country for the emperor's eldest son.

Now in the case of internal and external troubles, insisting on passing the throne to the eldest son of the emperor will undoubtedly harm Zhu Linyuan.

Longwu's shortcomings are that he is estranged from his bloodline, coupled with the fact that he was under house arrest in the high walls of Fengyang in his early years, he has no team of his own, and he has been an emperor for nearly four years.

If Wang Yan was still by his side, he might be able to take on the responsibility of entrusting orphans, but now he has almost broken with Wang Yan, and Wan Yuanji, Zuo Maodi, Jin Shenghuan, and Zheng Chenggong can't afford to take on the responsibility of entrusting orphans.

If the eldest son of the emperor succeeds to the throne, he is very willing to become a eunuch or a plaything of a powerful minister, and he can't support this country at all.

There are many officials in the court who secretly support the Tang king, and most of them also see this, the eldest son of the emperor is too young to guarantee the interests of the ministers who support the Tang faction, and only the Tang king can take on this responsibility.

Long Wu also had some understanding of the actions of Su Guansheng and others, but he also knew that he was old and sick, and the ministers who supported the Tang faction needed to have the Tang King in order to stabilize people's hearts, so he did not make a move against the Tang King, but only suppressed it slightly.

The Tang king acted very cautiously, and after abdicating and returning to the domain, he rarely interfered in state affairs, just to avoid the emperor's suspicions about him.

Longwu listened to the words of King Tang, and felt sad in his heart, the royal family is really ruthless, and if he tells the truth when he is dying, he will also be suspected by his brother if he has ulterior motives.

The emperor coughed, and the attendants on the side hurriedly handed over a white towel and picked up the basin, and the emperor spat out blood, and his face flushed instead.

The ministers and the king of Tang exclaimed in surprise, and the emperor gasped for a while, waved his hand, sighed, patted the king of Tang on the shoulder and said: "The bird is dying, and its song is also mourning; When a man is about to die, his words are good. The emperor's brother doesn't have to doubt, I am dead today, and everything I say is the words of my confidant. I am determined to restore the foundation of my ancestors and drive Jianyi out of the Central Plains, but the sky will not bless me and say goodbye in the middle way. Now I can inherit the unification and protect the foundation of my ancestors, the Gui Domain, the Lu Domain, and the Emperor's Brother. Although the descendants of the Gui Domain, but I look at his people, he flees when he hears the enemy, he has no responsibility, he is not the master of Zhongxing, if he is the successor, he will be manipulated by the ministers, and the foundation of my ancestors will be damaged. Although the Lu clan has the capital of the master, but its power is weak, lonely overseas, although I am defeated, but Jiangxi, Fujian are there, the ministers and generals of the DPRK and the central government must not agree to the succession of the Lu domain, the situation has never been small from the big, not from the big small, so can but the big one, only the emperor's brother! ”

After hearing this, the king of Tang bowed down and wept bitterly, and his head was bleeding.

Long Wu waved his hand to let him retreat aside, and said to the ministers: "After the collapse, Qing and others should support the emperor's brother to break through the siege, do their best to assist, and don't live up to my hopes." ”

After speaking, Long Wu looked at Wang Zilong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was standing on the side, and instructed: "Qing has followed me from Fujing, from the past to the present, after the collapse of the Emperor, Qing should remember my grace, take care of the prince sooner or later, and don't bear my trust." ”

Although the emperor handed over the unification to his younger brother Tang Wang, he still couldn't rest assured that the prince Zhu Linyuan was still at ease.

Wang Zilong immediately cried and bowed: "The minister dares to disobey the work of dogs and horses!" ”

After explaining this, Long Wu turned his gaze on Jin Shenghuan, "Huchen, come close." ”

When Jin Shenghuan heard this, he hurriedly got up and went to the dragon couch to worship: "The minister is here!" ”
