abdicated in 1627, they were loyal to their father
The Emperor's accident occurred in advance, which disrupted the Nine Emperors Uncle's rhythm, but it did not make the Nine Emperors Uncle panic. He had been preparing for this day for a long time, and no matter when it came, he could face it calmly.
Externally, the Nine Emperors Uncle appeases the ministers; internally, the Nine Emperors Uncle strictly inspects the palace concubines, and those who find problems are thrown into the temple, and those who are not found out are thrown away to serve the emperor.
It is not that there is no personnel in the court, some people even accuse the Nine Emperors Uncles of plotting to murder the emperor, but they can't provide evidence. The absurdity of the emperor some time ago is still vivid in his mind, and the emperor indeed forced the palace maid to have sex, and then fell into the palace maid's way.
.
This fact was placed in front of all the ministers, and they wished that they were blind and could not see anything. Those who accused the Nine Emperors Uncle had no position. After all, it was the emperor's order to recruit women to serve every night, and the Nine Emperors Uncle could still control it.
Does the emperor favor women?
The emperor is here today because of his excessive indulgence and absurdity. No one else is to blame. The person who spoke for the Nine Emperors Uncle listed the emperor's behavior during this period one by one. It is clear that the emperor's moral character is not good, and this must be spread.
, Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities may not know how to laugh at them.
The emperor's control over the court was strengthened, and this storm should not have passed so quickly. However, when the Third Duke stood up and spoke for the Nine Emperors, proving that the emperor was indeed ridiculous and that he was paralyzed, the ministers simply said nothing.
The Three Dukes were people who had won the trust of the emperor after two dynasties. This group of people stood up to accuse the emperor, presumably because they were extremely disappointed with the emperor. The ministers stopped and did not dare to fight again, for fear of offending those who would be in power in the future.
The emperor was recuperating in the palace, but he was not blind. Although most people saw the emperor like this, they thought that there was no possibility that the emperor would get up again. They changed their houses one after another and hugged the laps of several princes and the Nine Emperors Uncle, but
There are also some people who will never leave the emperor, such as a group of people headed by Fu Lin.
Fu Lin was very conscientious in his duties. Even if the emperor did not ask him to collect information, Fu Lin also collected the recent information and presented them to the emperor's desk one by one. He did not slack off at all because of the emperor's troubles.
The emperor's condition has gradually stabilized under the mental care of the imperial doctor. But seeing that the situation outside is getting worse and worse, how can the emperor calm down and take care of himself? Every time he sees the information sent by Fu Lin, he will be so angry that his blood pressure will rise.
Brainstorm.
Uncle Nine Emperors took advantage of his illness to directly take control of the court affairs. Those below him did not dare to resist at all. Even the ministers who were loyal to the emperor did not dare to speak out at this time.
The emperor's situation is there. No matter how much they do for the emperor at this time, the emperor will never get better. And a person who is lying on the bed speechless will never become the emperor of Dongling.
When the imperial doctor diagnosed that the emperor needed to rest and that even if he recovered, he would remain disabled, the forces led by the aristocratic family began to work in the government to have the emperor abdicate and a new emperor take the throne.
At first there was some opposition, and some ministers always wanted to wait. However, as time passed, the emperor's condition did not improve at all, and everyone was speechless.
A country cannot live without a master for a day. The Holy Emperor is no longer able to shoulder the important responsibilities of the emperor, and a new master must be established.
The new master is easy to establish. The emperor has already established a prince before, but...
Will Uncle Nine Emperors agree? Will he be willing to continue to be his prince? Uncle Nine Emperors can be said to rule the sky in Dongling. With his current power, it is definitely not a problem to depose the emperor and establish himself as king.
As a result, contrary to all expectations, when the officials proposed that the crown prince should succeed to the throne, the Nine Emperors Uncle not only did not object, but was the first to support it.
Due to Jiuhuangshu's concession, the ministers also elected Jiuhuangshu to be the regent. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, Jiuhuangshu will be the regent of Dongling.
Next, when the discussion was held to select the officials to assist the government, in addition to the three ministers, the Nine Emperors Uncles took up another position without hesitation, making the Crown Prince and Tutor Wang Jinling one of the auxiliary ministers.
All the ministers in the court knew about the gathering of Wang Jinling and Nine Emperors Uncles in Zhufeng Tower. The third prince was a person left by the late emperor and was fair in dealing with matters, but Wang Jinling was not good.
In order to prevent the Nine Emperors Uncle from being the only one to dominate, the ministers had to add another minister to assist the administration, who would be personally selected by the Emperor. The Nine Emperors Uncle had no objection to this.
The increasingly bad situation had already made the emperor very uneasy. When he heard that the Nine Emperors Uncles had joined forces with the court officials to force him to abdicate, the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and collapsed on the bed again. This time, the corners of his mouth were straightly crooked.
Can't get together.
Had a stroke.
This time there was no need for an imperial doctor. Everyone who saw the emperor understood how seriously ill he was. They no longer expected the emperor to return to the throne. Instead, they obediently appointed the new king, thinking about how to stand firm when the new king ascends the throne.
No matter how serious the emperor's illness is, it has nothing to do with the Nine Emperors Uncle. As usual, the Nine Emperors Uncles come to report to the emperor the trends in the court.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. I discussed with all the veterans and decided to abide by your decision, Your Majesty, let the crown prince succeed to the throne, and let my younger brother take charge as regent." Uncle Nine Emperors felt relaxed, but the Emperor was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
shake.
"Three... Tai, Tai." As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, white foam bubbled out from the corners of his mouth. His limbs were so stiff that he couldn't lift them up.
"Does the emperor miss the three princes? They also agreed." The Nine Emperors Uncle stood beside the bed, looking down at the emperor, his eyes were calm and deep, there was no pride of the winner, nor sympathy for the emperor, everything seemed like
It was as expected, and there was no surprise at all.
The attitude of Uncle Nine Emperors deeply irritated the emperor. The emperor bit his tongue and asked vaguely, "Why?"
With just these three words, Uncle Nine Emperors knew that the Emperor was asking why the Third Duke was facing him. This was not a big deal. Uncle Nine Emperors told the Emperor generously: "Might the Emperor have forgotten how you got the throne?"
of?"
"Ah..." A flash of astonishment flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he froze on the bed. He drooled on the bed and pulled out silver threads, but he didn't realize it.
The three men he trusted the most were actually never loyal to him.
"Brother, the emperor is right. The three princes have never been loyal to you. They are only loyal to the father and the heir chosen by the father. Obviously, brother, you are not." Uncle Ninth Emperor's face was calm, and the white bubbles on the corners of the emperor's mouth were getting more and more.
He took the handkerchief on the side and personally stepped forward to wipe away the white foam from the corner of the emperor's mouth.
"Brother Imperial, don't you understand now? So what if the three princes are loyal to you? You want my brother to die and the imperial edict of King Jiangnan to succeed has been ruined by you. Even if they are loyal to you, they can't change the situation."
The emperor made plans to die before attracting the poisonous insects and made a series of arrangements. However, he did not die at all. In this way, those arrangements were ineffective and even brought danger to himself.
The emperor would never leave behind the imperial edict for King Jiangnan to succeed to the throne. If King Jiangnan knew the content of the edict, assassinated the emperor at all costs, and then ascended the throne legitimately, the emperor would not be able to die of depression.
Without this holy decree, it would naturally be easier for the Nine Emperors Uncle to do what he wanted to do. The eighth prince's succession to the throne was justifiable. The current emperor didn't have the right to say no, but he didn't say no at all...
