"By the way, this funeral seems to be missing something.
Your Majesty, the next generation of heroes, conquered all the heroes and unified the world in decades, surrendered from all over the world, returned home from thousands of miles away, made great achievements in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and became powerful in the world. There was not even a single sacrifice in this funeral.
Something is bad!”
Yang Feng looked at the funeral in progress and said suddenly.
"Ambassador, I remember that you mocked Emperor Taizu Gao for burying a woman in his body, right? Do you want me to repeat what you said?"
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Well, I mocked him back then. I just said that he shouldn't be buried with women, but that didn't mean that he couldn't be buried with men. What's more, his burial forced people to die, but if someone is really loyal, they would be willing to die for him.
, if you are willing to follow him underground and become a slave, that is another matter."
Yang Feng said.
Then he walked towards the vassal tribute envoys beside him.
The closest ones were from the Japanese Kingdom. Of course the Japanese king himself was among those princes. These were sent by the Japanese Prime Minister to pay tribute and attend the funeral. The leader was a middle-aged man from the Tokugawa family. He saw Yang Feng walking towards him.
He was so frightened that he quickly turned around, smiled obsequiously, and bowed grovelingly.
Yang Feng directly put his arm around his shoulders and whispered something in his ear.
He immediately looked horrified.
Yang Feng's eyes widened, and he nodded without tears. Yang Feng patted his shoulder with satisfaction and pushed him. He walked to an official from the Ministry of Rites in despair, and then said something in front of the latter.
The reporter looked surprised, but then hurriedly walked towards Zhu Di. Yang Feng looked at this scene and walked towards the North Korean tribute envoy with satisfaction...
Soon the official from the Ministry of Etiquette will return.
At the same time, he was holding a handful of ribs in his hand. The Japanese tribute envoy immediately knelt down and took the ribs with both hands.
"The King of Yan has issued an order, and the tribute envoy from the Japanese state has asked himself to be buried as a slave of Emperor Taizu Gao. His loyalty is commendable, so he has approved it, and asked the supervisor to grant him a training official!"
the official shouted.
The Japanese tribute envoy knelt there and wiped his ribs solemnly. An attendant stood next to him and raised a borrowed Yanling knife. The Japanese tribute envoy suddenly turned his ribs around and stabbed himself in the stomach.
The knife turned into a cold light, and his head fell down...
Yang Feng, who was beside the North Korean tribute envoy, watched this scene with satisfaction, then turned to look at the North Korean tribute envoy with threatening eyes.
The latter was speechless with grief and anger.
But in the end he walked towards the officials of the Ministry of Rites in despair.
Yang Feng watched their conversation with satisfaction, and then walked towards the Ryukyu envoy...
Lao Zhu's funeral ended like this, and good news came from the palace the next day.
The queen was born.
but……
"There's nothing wrong with the Queen, right?
Besides, she is just a baby, and it will take at least fifteen years to grow up. Such a long time is enough time to choose a virtuous mentor for her and let her grow into a wise king. In fact, heroines in Taixi are very common, and even many heroines are
He can be called a hero of his generation, and he can dominate the world."
Yang Feng said.
On Mount Wutai, the kings gathered again, and this time not only the kings, but also the princes and ministers in the capital also gathered.
It was like a meeting of electors.
Of course, Ambassador Yang is not a participant, but only acts as an intermediary to provide the venue.
"How can I, the Ming Dynasty, follow the example of the foreign countries?"
Xu Huizu said.
"Wei Guogong is not a loyal minister of the Daxing Emperor?
The bones of Emperor Daxing are not yet cold, but there is only this little blood left. Does the Duke of Wei want to abandon him?"
The little princess sneered.
Wei Guogong was speechless...
Of course, it may be that he is being sincere. After all, with his maturity and prudent attitude, he is worthy of being the Duke of Wei by being the first to take the lead. In fact, everyone understands the current situation. As long as the little princess insists on the princess's succession, there will be no problem.
I can't object, after all, you can't be rough with her.
Everyone looked at King Yan together, but King Yan sat there silently.
"I have also made it clear that the bloodline of Emperor Daxing must inherit the throne, regardless of male or female. I also know that the succession of the emperor's daughter is somewhat controversial, but this is a helpless choice. After all, Emperor Daxing only has this little blood left. Not to mention Taizu Gao
The emperor did not leave a system whereby the emperor's daughter could not succeed to the throne. If the emperor's daughter could not succeed to the throne, who do you think could succeed?
Yunwen?
Take Liu Rong and let him tell the kings who is the mastermind behind the regicide!"
said the little princess.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Rong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was brought in by Jin Yiwei.
He has been imprisoned in the imperial edict, and his identity has not even been disclosed. He was originally waiting for Zhu Yunwen to confront him after being caught, but now he is just using it to silence all parties. After all, it cannot be true that Zhu Yunwen is the mastermind of regicide.
He is truly the most qualified to inherit the throne.
As for what he had done before, it is completely unimportant.
"Everyone, this is the son of Liu Jiang, one of the guards of the king. He was originally sent to protect Master Daoyan, but he was bribed by Yun Wen and left privately with more than a hundred guards. Qitai and others made a rebellion, and he followed suit.
He was a minion. But fortunately, his conscience was still intact and he still had a little sense of loyalty. After Emperor Daxing was murdered, he fled back to Peiping with his men to report to the king. The matter was so important that I did not dare to handle it without authorization, so I handed him over to him.
Jin Yiwei. He was in Suzhou at the time and knew the truth behind the murder of His Majesty. His confession was all true. There were also confessions from fake officials in Suzhou and some physical evidence. Although I was heartbroken, the truth was indeed the case and I did not dare to hide it after all."
Zhu Di said.
Everyone was silent.
Everyone knew that Zhu Yunwen was being played by his fourth uncle.
It was a conspiracy from the beginning.
In this eerie silence, Liu Rong confessed the whole process, including how Zhu Yunwen, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, and Huang Zicheng made the plan, Fang Xiaoru pretended to surrender to coax the emperor to go on a personal expedition, and Zhu Yunwen used the excuse of meeting to lure the emperor to Fengqiao.
Even the bribery of Wu Shouan and others was fully explained afterwards.
"do you understand?
Emperor Daxing was murdered by Yun Wen. He committed regicide for his ministers and murdered his brother for property. How could such a person be worthy of succeeding to the throne?
If he succeeds to the throne, Emperor Daxing will die with his eyes closed.
As for his two younger brothers, even under the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they must be executed. They are both guilty, and naturally they are not worthy of succeeding. Based on this calculation, who else can succeed?
King Yan?"
said the little princess.
As she spoke, she turned to look at her fourth brother.
Zhu Di quickly stood up...
"Everyone, the little king moved to the Western Region and established the Western Region. It is the will of Emperor Taizu Gao. How dare you disobey it? The little king has no intention of ever being interested in the throne. If anyone tries to force him again, the little king will leave the capital immediately and return to Peking with him.
The family left for the Western Regions. As for the ownership of the throne, Xiao Wang felt that it was not a bad idea to succeed the throne to the emperor's daughter. After all, there was nothing that could be done about it. If the Daxing Emperor had no bloodline left, he would naturally make another choice. If the Daxing Emperor had
Of course, he is still a son, but now he only has this posthumous daughter, so there is no choice. But after all, the emperor's succession to the throne is only a temporary measure, and he himself has no choice but to do it, but in the future, the prince will have to do something else.
select."
he said.
Yang Feng looked at him with a smile.
Therefore, Zhu Di knew that he could not fight now, and the situation forced him to accept the reality, but he was laying the groundwork for the future.
"Fourth brother really understands the righteousness, but the queen has also thought about what will happen next. After the imperial daughter succeeds to the throne and reaches adulthood, the son she gives birth to can only be regarded as having a foreign surname. Naturally, the foreign surname cannot affect the country of the Ming Dynasty, but the daughter she gives birth to can
If you marry into the clan, it is enough for you to be a cousin, and the one you will give birth to again will naturally be my Zhu family.
Then you can take over the throne."
said the little princess.
Zhu Di glanced at King Liao.
"That's good, but when the time comes, you have to choose the person you marry carefully."
he said.
This Tamar was tailor-made for the King of Liao.
At that time, the daughter born to the queen will have the same surname as the husband, that is, a different surname. Under the guidance of the little princess, she will marry the great-grandson of the King of Liao, regardless of the age difference. Anyway, she is a cousin, and the son who will eventually give birth to a son will be the heir to the throne.
, the throne was actually transferred to the line of Liao kings, which is definitely unacceptable.
"This is natural. It will be up to the Queen to choose."
King Liao said with a smile.
"That's not okay. This is the throne. We'd better establish rules."
King Zhou said calmly.
Everyone is not stupid.
You two are born to the same mother. If Yang Feng is here in the future, it doesn't matter who is the emperor. The court has the final say on the little princess, especially a queen. She and Yang Feng are good at making good saplings grow crooked. In the end, the queen will grow up.
Come on, it’s better to treat the two as relatives. The King of Liao already has a son. Although he is one generation older than the Queen, he is only slightly older. As long as he gets married early, it is estimated that he will have a son in fourteen or five years. This
She is the same generation as the Queen. And the little princess is in her early twenties this year. If she persuades the Queen to get married after her 20s, it is estimated that the daughter she will give birth to will be no more than ten years older than the great-grandchildren of the King of Liao.
.
The little princess brought the great-grandson of the King of Liao to her side and stayed with the queen's daughter every day. Wouldn't it be natural for them to get married in the end?
Their son is the emperor.
"Then what kind of rules do Fifth Brother think we should establish?"
said the little princess.
"How to choose a son-in-law at that time cannot be decided by the empress. Instead, the unmarried people of the same generation in the clan should be gathered in the capital, and then the emperor Taizu Gao should be asked to decide at the Ancestral Temple."
King Shu said.
They all also woke up.
"Drawing lots?"
Yang Feng said.
"Well, it's up to Emperor Taizu Gao to decide, and the one drawn will naturally be Emperor Taizu Gao's choice."
King Chu said.
Drawing lots is the fairest.
After all, this is possible for everyone.
Yang Feng was speechless. What else did King Liao want to say? The little princess signaled with her eyes, and he shut up. After a meeting between the clan and the ministers, it was decided that although the queen gave birth to a girl, as a
The only flesh and blood of the Daxing Emperor can only be inherited by this girl. But this is only a temporary measure, so the Queen's crown prince must still be a boy from the Zhu family. As for the selection method, the Queen's daughter will marry into the clan.
Birth. In addition, if such special cases occur again in the future, you can follow this rule. That is, if the future emperor has no sons but only daughters, the daughter will succeed to the throne. However, the children born after the succession will not have the right to inherit, only the daughter.
Only the sons of the Zhu family who are born after marrying into the clan have the right to inherit.
As for the situation where brothers eventually get married, it is only possible when the emperor has no children.
If the queen does not have a daughter, or her daughter fails to give birth to a son before she dies, then her son has no right to inherit and can only choose from her father's brothers. If there are no brothers, he will continue to move up.
But this possibility is very small.
After all, unless the queen is infertile, the worst thing she can do is change to a man!
Of course she can't have countless faces in the harem, but she can divorce her man, and at worst, get a new one. A few more times will always succeed. In fact, if she really were a great emperor, even if she had three thousand faces, no one would dare to say anything.
.
In the end, this set of inheritance rules was the same as the last clan reform covenant. It was signed and sealed by the kings, Princess Hanshan on behalf of the Queen, and Ambassador Yang as the intermediary.
This is the eternal system of the future.
This system...
This system subverted tradition and also made the queen orthodox.
"Whatever happens next..."
As soon as Zhu Di and others left, King Liao looked at his sister anxiously.
"It's all about cooking. If I hadn't been careful, your sister would have been born by now. Then I would bring your great-grandson over and let the two of them play together every day. What would happen if something went wrong in the end? But what if you
If your great-grandson can't even solve this problem, then I can only say that you are unlucky."
Yang Feng said.
The King of Liao was speechless.
That's all it can do now.
After all, he also knew that his brothers would not give up so easily.
the next day.
Because the queen had to confine herself to confinement and could not move, Princess Hanshan, as the only adult princess currently considered a member of the Zhu family, held the coronation ceremony in the Yu Daqing Hall with the newly born princess in her arms, and sat on the dragon chair to receive the formal worship of the kings and ministers.
Then it was announced to the world that the emperor's daughter would succeed to the throne. As for the reign name, there was no need to change it for the time being. She would continue to use her father's Chengguang and change it next year. The queen's accession to the throne did not cause too much trouble. After all, King Yan took all the kings to accept it.
After all, this is the Zhu family’s own business. Even the vassals and princes like the Zhu family agree. What right do other people with foreign surnames have to object?
Confucian scholars indeed lamented that the country would lose its generals, but they were lamenting in the first place.
Let them do whatever they want!
All they can do now is lament.
As for the common people, they don't care about this.
Besides, Emperor Daxing only has one descendant, even if it is a girl, it makes sense for her to succeed to the throne.
Besides, being able to reveal that she is a girl is already honest enough. In fact, even if she were a boy, it would be difficult for outsiders to know.
Because the Queen is in confinement and is still breastfeeding, she is still Princess Hanshan of the Zhu family. Of course, she is the acting supervisor of the country. However, there is actually an unmarried princess, but she is only a few years old, and the other married ones are no longer
The Zhu family, they are not qualified to take care of the Zhu family's affairs. Then under the auspices of the little princess, Zhu Yunxi's funeral was completed immediately. After the funeral, Zhu Di and other vassal princes who chose to go abroad left the capital, and those who stayed in the capital stayed in the capital. And these are all
After completion, it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On Zhu Yunwen's side, after learning the news of the Queen's accession to the throne, he proclaimed himself emperor in Guangzhou without hesitation.
And tell the world.
Wang Bi suddenly led his army northward. With the cooperation of the gentry in the city, he captured Guilin without any bloodshed and then blocked Lingqu. Similarly, He Rong's uncle He Di also led the Guangdong troops to block Meiling.
