Chapter 197: Born to be the Son of Heaven
At this point, all the regicides have been arrested. The ministers in the court looked at Hou Xuanyan's eyes and changed their taste.
In any case, this young man has to be more powerful.
Hou Xuanyan is also the first two. Now the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne and looks like a man is King Lu.
Although King Lu was a little willful, he was a man who had been a state-controller and was also a firm anti-Qing faction. Many of his subordinates were the troops of King Lu.
Zhang Huangyan stood up and ignored the three regicides on the ground. In his eyes, the regicides were no longer worthy of being human. After taking a step, he approached Hou Xuanyan and said, "The commander-in-chief, the country cannot be without a king for a day..."
Hou Xuanyan wanted to welcome King Lu back, but was worried that he would have arrested him. If a man with a soft bone was established and the Qing Dynasty ran away, it would have a great blow to the morale of the army. I thought about it and hesitated.
Wang Xiangnian, who was standing beside him, was worried and had just woken up from grief and anger. He walked to Hou Xuanyan's side and wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing this, Hou Xuanyan was unwilling to be in the hall and was too close to the emperor who had just passed away. After all, the civil servants in the hall were very poisonous, and some gossip were not enough to disgust him.
"Your Majesty was harmed by a traitor and did not leave a will. You should not act too rush to ascend the throne. You should think carefully and let us all discuss the most suitable result. After all, at this time, the country is in danger, and one mistake will be the sinner of a thousand years."
Zhang Huangyan nodded, retreated silently, and knelt down to mourn the emperor.
Hou Xuanyan said loudly: "Send people to inform all directions that any foreign ministers who have established a new king and who have made plans to establish themselves will be regarded as a rebellion. The governor is fighting for Jingxiang, Yangzhou, and will kill the rebels first and guard the court for His Majesty."
He ordered his subordinates to take Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong, Huang Zongxi, Jin Shenghuan, and Li Yongyi back to prison and send heavy troops to take care of him. Then, in the palace, he focused on mourning for the emperor. The ministers in the palace had their own thoughts and sincerely mourned the emperor. At this time, there were probably only a few crying eunuchs. These people entered the palace to serve the emperor since childhood, and Zhu Youjian was quite special. He went around and went around, and these people had always been like relatives.
The situation finally stabilized, and the internal officials and supervisors began to set up mourning halls, arrange palaces, and cleanse the emperor's body and change clothes. The ministers who were qualified to enter the palace to cry and perform rituals stepped into the Qianqing Palace in a silence, wiped their sleeves without tears, and wailed twice.
Hou Xuanyan finally had the opportunity to come outside the hall, found a secluded place, and ordered Hu Bawan to find Wang Xiangnian, who was crying in tears.
"Eunuch Wang seemed to have something to say just now."
Wang Xiangnian wiped his tears and said sadly: "Duke, our family can see that you are the only civil and military officials in the court for the sake of His Majesty. I said that I shouldn't say anything, you must not welcome the King of Lu."
Hou Xuanyan's face was unhappy. Although he did not look down on the eunuchs, he did not want these people to interfere in politics. If he had to jump out and point fingers at this time, it would inevitably be difficult to control in the future. Wang Xiangnian was not so smart and did not see the changes in Hou Xuanyan at all. He continued: "The King of Lu was our Majesty's opponent. When His Majesty was in Fuzhou, he often told our family that he had hated him so much that he had angered his teeth. His Majesty died. If he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he would not treat His Majesty's two empresses well. Before his death, he told the old slave to look at the children in the queen and Chen Fei's belly. Our family is a disabled person."
Hou Xuanyan suddenly grabbed Wang Xiangnian and asked, "What did you say?"
Wang Xiangnian's face turned annoyed and stuttered: "Our family is incomplete..."
"Not this, do you say that Concubine Chen is pregnant with a dragon seed?"
Wang Xiangnian was already very worried, but when he heard this, he was blessed to his heart. He couldn't see it, so he could hand it over to the Duke of Yue in front of him. Duke of Yue is such a hero and his subordinates are strong and strong. Are you worried that you can't take good care of Your Majesty's orphan?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiangnian quickly said, "Your Majesty has been happy these days, and I have been to Queen Chen again. It is also Your Majesty's great blessings. Who knew that this time, he was pregnant with the dragon seed again. Your Majesty has been happy for several days, and drinking only a few times more than usual. I am so happy when I see you..."
Seeing that he was addicted to the past, Hou Xuanyan had no time to listen to his nagging, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you tell the world if Empress Chen is pregnant?"
Wang Xiangnian's face turned miserable and said, "Crown Prince Zhuang Jing died young, which was a big blow to His Majesty. His Majesty heard that there were rumors in the countryside that he could not tell anyone if he was pregnant for three months, so that the child would be easily saved. Who knew that today is the third month, but unfortunately Your Majesty... My Majesty... "
Hou Xuanyan felt warm when he looked at this emotional old eunuch. He didn't expect that there was such a clear stream in the eunuch world in the deep palace. Although he was a little nagging, he was simply a shining point of human nature compared to Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong and others.
"Eunuch Wang, how are Your Majesty treating you?"
Wang Xiangnian stopped wailing and stared at his little eyes and said, "Your Majesty treats me with no airs at all, just like my relatives. I have lost my relatives early on. Your Majesty has gone, I feel so distressed."
Hou Xuan neighed, and looked at Wang Xiangnian's eyes rolling, and there was a heavy rain immediately. He hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Majesty is the well-deserved Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How can his descendants need to be seen by others to survive? I see that other vassal families in the Ming Dynasty are mediocre and cannot bear to be the king. It is better for us to protect Your Majesty's orphan as the emperor, which is enough to comfort his spirit in heaven."
Wang Xiangnian drooped his hands, dumbfounded, and murmured: "But, Your Majesty's orphan has not been born yet..."
Hou Xuanyan regained his charlatan style, carried his hands on his back, and said passionately: "Some people are born to be the emperor!"
Wang Xiangnian's face was flushed. It would be great if he could keep the emperor's bloodline and be the emperor. His Majesty had no idea what he knew. He didn't know how happy he was. The more Wang Xiangnian thought about it, the happier he became, the more excited he became. Moreover, this was a straight person, and all his emotions were reflected on his face. Hou Xuanyan nodded secretly, and this was halfway.
Wang Xiangnian thought to himself, how could I do such a big thing without power or power? Looking at Hou Xuanyan's eyes gradually became eager. Only heroes like Duke Yue can protect His Majesty's orphans as emperor.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiangnian was overwhelmed and said, "If Duke Yue can do this for Your Majesty, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the Duke."
Hou Xuanyan originally wanted him to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that he was more concerned than him, so he no longer had to be polite to him.
"Eunuch Wang, please come up quickly. I will fight with Your Majesty and the Lord and his ministers, and I will protect his bloodline and become the emperor even if I die."
