In the Funing Palace, Queen Cao and the palace officials were crying.
The official had been in office for more than 40 years, and everyone in the palace felt his kindness. Once when the official ate a piece of sand and stone while eating, his teeth suffered severe pain, but the official hid the stone and turned to the palace and said:
"Don't make any noise about this matter, otherwise it will be a death penalty."
At this moment, the official family was no longer able to survive. Even when he was breathing his last few breaths, the official family and Empress Cao, who had been husband and wife for decades, spent a moment together, and the palace people were also weeping.
However, Feng Jing said here with some disregard for the occasion: "I would like to ask your majesty, Wan Sheng, to establish words and letters for the country, the country, the clan and the people."
Feng Jing slapped him with a big hat, but Zhang Yue also felt that it was natural.
As long as the new official family is established in a proper way, the wealth and glory of the civil official group can be passed on smoothly. If there is any mistake in the succession of the reserve, it will be turned upside down.
It's just...it's just a little unkind!
Ren Shouzhong said: "Feng Neizhi, the empress is in mourning and has no time to say this..."
Feng Jingze said: "Everyone knows that when an official is on his deathbed, every sentence involves the affairs of the country. If he does not write down the words, the world will be uneasy! If there is a change outside the palace, I will not be able to escape the blame!"
"
Ren Shouzhong said: "There are still empresses in the court, as well as all the ministers and Feng Neizhi. These words are serious."
Having said this, Feng Jing looked at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue knew at this moment that he was silent and would be criticized by the courtiers if word got out, so he could only stand next to Feng Jing and said: "Everyone knows that what Feng Neizhi said is reasonable. I would like to ask the empress to preside over it. The world.
If the inheritance is improper, it will lead to bloodshed."
Ren Shouzhong spoke again, and Feng Jing and Zhang Yue persuaded them with great principles.
After hearing this, Empress Cao said: "There is no need to say any more to the Qing family, I already know."
Empress Cao immediately spoke to the officials and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to explain the affairs of the ancestors and the country?"
The official on the imperial palace nodded reluctantly and raised his finger. Empress Cao immediately supported the official's arm. The palace attendant said: "Prepare the pen and ink immediately!"
One person asked: "How can an official write?"
Feng Jing immediately stepped forward to accuse Empress Cao and said: "I obeyed the authority in a hurry, and I overstepped my bounds."
Empress Cao wiped away her tears and said, "Now that we have reached this point, we no longer need to adhere to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers."
Feng Jing walked to the imperial couch, knelt down and kowtowed, and then said: "I am Feng Jing, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. If your Majesty has anything to say to me, please put it in the palm of my hand! Even if I die, I will not live up to the official entrustment. I will tell it to you."
Tell the people of the world!"
The official nodded weakly.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, who will inherit the clan in ten thousand years?" Feng Jing spread it out in the palm of his hand and placed it under the official's fingers.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
Zhang Yue stood aside and stared closely at Feng Jing's palm. At this moment, there were beads of sweat on Feng Jing's forehead.
But when he saw the official reluctantly moving his fingers horizontally and vertically in Feng Jing's palm, even though his movements were extremely slow, everyone's eyes were fixed on this.
I wrote a few books!
The official's hand suddenly fell out of strength!
Queen Cao shouted urgently: "Medical officer, medical officer!"
Shan Xiang and Sun Zhao quickly said: "I'm here."
Immediately Shan Xiang and Sun Zhao were about to ask the official to apply medicine and acupuncture, but Feng Jing stopped him and asked the official on the imperial couch urgently: "Did your majesty just write the word 'shu'?"
As soon as Feng Jing finished speaking, Ren Shouzhong on the side shook his head and said: "Our family has just seen the internal system clearly, and the official family just wrote the word "日"."
Feng Jing couldn't help but said with a smile: "What is the character for "日"? It is clearly the character for "shu". Feng Dou knew that Mo Yue was dazzled."
Ren Shouzhong shook his head and said: "Although I am old, my eyes are bright. This is clearly the word "日". Feng Neizhi misread it in his panic."
Feng Jingdao: "This is a national matter, how could I be wrong?"
Ren Shouzhong said: "We don't dare to talk nonsense about this matter. Feng Neizhi is obviously just a Japanese character. The government will give you three yuan, you must be able to afford it!"
Feng Jing said sternly: "It is precisely because of His Majesty's kindness that I repay him with death."
"Can you please leave me alone for a while?" Queen Cao cried.
Feng Jing and Ren Shouzhong apologized to the queen and exited the tent together.
Ren Shouzhong glanced sideways at Feng Jing, and Feng Jing asked Zhang Yue: "What words do you see, Bachelor Zhang?"
Zhang Yue said: "Although it has not been completed by the officials, from the perspective of calligraphy and painting, I can see that it is the same character as dawn."
Ren Shouzhong sneered repeatedly after hearing this, as if our family would not quarrel with you.
Zhang Yue whispered to Feng Jing: "There is no need to discuss the internal system with this person. When the prime minister comes, he will have his own opinions. I will be a witness then. Besides, the inheritance of the country has its own system, and there is no room for one or two people to change their minds!"
"
Feng Jing nodded and said: "That's exactly it."
Both of them stood outside the palace. When Zhang Yue heard this, he looked inside the curtain, feeling a sense of sadness coming from the bottom of his heart.
The other party has given me the gift of knowledge and wealth, not only that... but also the other party's magnanimity and tolerance... Maybe in the eyes of most people, this official lacks some achievements, but it is real.
A good emperor and a good official.
Suddenly at this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
There was no movement within the curtain, and the people in the palace on the left and right were choking, first in low voices and then loudly.
"Your Majesty is mad!"
Feng Jing was also absent-minded for a moment. Thinking of the kindness the officials had shown him before, he sat there and cried. As for Ren Shouzhong, he cried even more sadly, lowering his feet and patting his chest.
Zhang Yue and the others cried for a while, then stood up and said to Feng Jing: "Feng Neizhi, at this moment, I will report to Empress Ming to make arrangements for the emperor's death."
Feng Jing glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "That's right. I almost lost my mind. You and I will go and report it to the empress!"
Feng Jing took Zhang Yue's hand and said this.
Immediately, Feng Jing and Zhang Yue went outside the curtain to report to Empress Cao.
After hearing this, Empress Cao said: "That's how it should be."
Zhang Yue said: "I would like to inform you that everything in the palace will be as usual. At the same time, we will strictly guard the entrance and exit of Funing Palace. No one will be allowed to enter. We will not announce the funeral for the time being. We will quickly summon the ministers and others to enter the palace one after another. I don't know whether this is true or not."
, please give me some instructions!"
Empress Cao took a deep look at Zhang Yue and said: "My palace is now in chaos. Fortunately, Feng. Zhang Erqing proposed that everything should be done as Zhang Qing just said, and there will be no mourning for now."
"Yes." Ren Shouzhong glanced at Zhang Yue.
"Bring water, I and the officials will wash themselves..." Empress Cao said with tears in her eyes.
Hearing Queen Cao's words, everyone in the palace shed tears.
Zhang Yue and Feng Jing looked at each other and exited the palace gate together.
At this time, Funing Hall was busy. Zhang Yue and Feng Jing were sitting in a small pavilion next to the hall. Feng Jing seemed too lazy to talk to Shu Jing. Zhang Yue took up the matter and came forward to talk to Ren Shouzhong.
Ren Shouzhong glanced at Feng Jing and said, "It's better that Zhang Xueshi knows the basics."
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
Immediately, Ren Shouzhong went out to order the eunuchs to escort him out of the palace.
Zhang Yue and Feng Jing watched the palace people walking around outside the window until dawn outside the palace.
At this time, seeing some light on the horizon, Zhang Yue said to Feng Jing, "I'm going to find out some news."
Feng Jing cheered up and said, "Thank you, Bachelor Zhang, for your opinion! I'm not in vain for Jia Yue's appreciation of you."
When Zhang Yue walked out of the palace, there was a smell of war and chaos inside and outside the palace. When no one was paying attention, he pulled over a young man and asked: "Where did the gentlemen enter the palace from?"
Xiao Huangmen said: "Reporting to the bachelor, we should open the inner east door, and then enter the palace through the back door of Chui Gong Hall."
"Where's the back door?"
Zhang Yue hurried to the back door of Chui Gong Hall with a finger from the small yellow gate.
Several Xiaohuang gatekeepers looked at Hou at this gate, and suddenly they heard a knock on the door from outside: "The gentlemen are here!"
A waiter slapped a person on the head and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door."
Several people rushed to open the city gate.
Immediately, the back door opened, and Han Qi, Zhongshu, Zeng Gongliang, Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Gai, Privy Councilor Zhang Sheng, Deputy Privy Councilor Hu Su, and Wu Kui all arrived panting.
"Masters!" Zhang Yue stepped forward and said.
Han Qi saw that Zhang Yue was convinced that he had been guided by internal eunuchs along the way. Although there was internal approval, let alone internal approval at this time, even official edicts were not necessarily unreliable.
Seeing a "one of his own" in the deep palace, and just in time to inquire about the inside story, Han Qi pulled Zhang Yue over and said: "To save him..."
Zhang Yue said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Han, your Majesty was so sleepy last night!"
Although it had been expected, everyone present was stunned.
Zhang Yue saw Han Qi clenching his arm tightly, as if pig iron had been branded on his arm.
When all the ministers captured Hu Su, Zeng Gongliang beat his chest and howled several times on the spot.
Zhang Yue said: "This is not the time for mourning. The Queen has decided not to mourn for the time being. She will wait until the princes come to the back of the palace to discuss it before making any decision!"
Han Qi asked: "Did His Majesty leave any legacy when he was dying?"
Zhang Yue immediately gave a brief introduction to what was going on in the palace.
Han Qi felt a little confident and said, "Everyone, follow me into the palace!"
Everyone cheered up and headed to Funing Hall together.
Feng Jing was looking outside the hall and was overjoyed when he saw Han Qi and Zhang Yue rushing to see him. However, when he saw Han Qi leading everyone to His Highness Funing, he first kowtowed to the main hall and then climbed the steps to the front of the hall to kowtow and kneel again.
When everyone entered the palace, Han Qi took the lead and was about to lift the curtain. The waiter on the side said: "The Queen is here!"
Han Qi took a few steps back after hearing this and kowtowed outside the curtain.
The queen inside the curtain said: "It is unfortunate for the world that the official family suddenly went to heaven last night!"
Han Qi shed tears and said: "Mother, my minister Han Qi is late!"
Several ministers cried together. After a short break, the queen said: "What can we do now? My husband, the official family has no children."
Han Qi said: "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, my Majesty. If you want to enter the curtain, please see Emperor Daxing first."
There was silence in the palace for a moment, but when the curtain was opened, Empress Cao turned her back and said: "Everyone, please come in!"
Han Qi said to the crowd: "I, Duke Zeng and Shu are going in, while the others are waiting outside."
Han Qi and others entered the curtain, and there was another burst of crying. Han Qi and others exited the curtain, and after the curtain was lowered, they resumed their correct posture.
Han Qi said: "Just now, the empress said that the official family has no children. I think the queen should not say this. The prince is now in the East Palace. Besides, His Majesty ordered that the country be inherited by the word 'shu', and the prince's name is exactly the word 'shu'."
The Queen said: "Your Majesty's will, we can't really see it clearly. Besides, the prince is just a clan member. If he is established, what if another clan member comes to fight for it?"
Han Qi said: "As the saying goes, plan something and then talk about it, discuss it and then act. If you propose a change, you can first invite the prince to the palace and then make a proposal!"
Listening to Han Qi's performance, Zhang Yue expressed that he had learned something.
Behind the curtain, Empress Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then according to your father's words, I will send someone to invite the prince here."
Soon, the bewildered prince Zhao Shudi was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and entered the palace.
Everyone shouted: "The prince is here! The prince is here!"
