The emperor saw the Supreme Emperor waking up from the side, and Yi Yi came to the Supreme Emperor's side, grabbed his hand and said: "Father, you are awake, so I and the Queen Mother are worried."
Lu Jin said to the emperor at this time: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please speak quickly. The Emperor still has half an hour at most."
The Empress Dowager, who had just seen that the Emperor had woken up, felt as if she was mourning for her heir when she heard Lu Jin's words.
The Supreme Emperor, who was on the bed, also heard Lu Jin's words. He felt a little sad at first, and then calmly said to the emperor: "I feel a little uncomfortable lying down. Please help me up, and we can have a good talk."
As soon as the emperor heard what the Supreme Emperor said, he knew that he was going to make the final arrangements. Without the help of the eunuch, he personally helped the Supreme Emperor up from the bed and let him lean on the edge of the bed.
After the Emperor got up, he looked at the people in the room, and then said: "You all can go out. Only the Emperor is left here to accompany me on the last journey."
After hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, the imperial doctors, maids and eunuchs who were in the palace all bowed their bodies and left the palace. Even Jia Yuanchun also left the palace wisely.
Only the Empress Dowager was reluctant to go out. The Emperor looked a little helpless when he saw her, and finally had to say: "You'd better go out, there are some words you can't listen to."
The Empress Dowager had no choice but to walk out of the palace.
After everyone else left, the Supreme Emperor said: "Our secret guards are divided into two parts. One part is the Jinyi Army on the surface. After these people die, if Jia Ke insists on asking for it, don't resist and give it to me."
He is."
After hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, the emperor shed tears and nodded repeatedly.
Then the Supreme Emperor said: "There are still some who are the real secret guards. These people were also divided into two parts by your grandfather back then. One part was given to me, and the other part was given to Prince Yi Zhong and handed over to Prince Yi Zhong."
This part of the army disappeared without a trace during the coup more than ten years ago. Now it seems that it has been obtained by Jia Ke."
Now the Supreme Emperor thought about it, if these people hadn't provided intelligence to Jia Ke, how could he have been able to rule the world with all pervasiveness?
And now the emperor couldn't help but think of Qin Keqing, and blamed himself for being soft-hearted at that time. If she had been eliminated long ago, Jia Ke would have fewer minions.
The Supreme Emperor continued: "After I die, you go to Ningshou Palace and find an old woman named Wang. She will naturally give this part of her power to you."
When the emperor heard what the Supreme Emperor said, he felt a little happy. He felt that with this strength, he would one day make a comeback.
The Supreme Emperor seemed to have read his thoughts, but his next words interrupted his dream, "Are you thinking of making a comeback with these people? I think you should accept this idea."
After hearing what the Emperor said, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The Supreme Emperor explained to him: "None of the people you left behind are in the intelligence field. They are all civil and military ministers of the court. They can only speak out for you when you are in danger. If you want to rely on
They resisted Jia Ke, but they were just hitting an egg against a stone."
The emperor was a little disappointed after hearing these words of the Supreme Emperor, but he thought this was normal. He thought that Jia Ke relied on the people left by Qin Keqing's father to have a certain power among the civil servants, but he mainly relied on Jia Ke's control of military power.
Control, otherwise these ministers will have no effect.
After the Emperor told the Emperor about this matter, he said to the Emperor: "The Empress Dowager has made some mistakes before. I want you to swear now that you will not embarrass the Empress Dowager after your death."
After hearing what the Emperor said, the Emperor knew what he was talking about. The Emperor was extremely angry now. At this time, the Emperor was still thinking about the Empress Dowager and left his mother behind.
At this time, the emperor thought of his mother. She had lived like a ghost for more than ten years. In the end, in order to leave a clear path for himself, her soul was shattered on the spot. If he didn't get some justice for him, then he would
This son is too incompetent.
So the emperor turned around and no longer looked at the Supreme Emperor. Seeing the emperor's attitude, the Supreme Emperor knew that he could not forget the revenge of killing his mother. Now that he was about to go to see the late emperor, he probably couldn't control these people, so he could only
He sighed and said nothing more.
The Supreme Emperor paused for a moment and continued: "If one day Jia Ke usurps the throne, you don't have to stop him, just give him the position."
After the emperor heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he looked at the Supreme Emperor in disbelief.
The Supreme Emperor looked at the Emperor calmly, "Don't worry, I have already left a backup plan. If one day, you say you want to take your family back to Nanjing to watch over Emperor Taizu, I think Jia Ke has conquered your world.
, I won’t make it too difficult for you.”
The emperor also understood something at this time. He looked at the Supreme Emperor with wide eyes and asked him to finish what he said.
"When the emperor passed away, he left a way out for us descendants. There was a secret passage in the tomb of Emperor Taizu, which led directly to a bank. There were tens of millions of silver in the bank. It was you who made a comeback.
fundamental.”
After hearing this, the emperor nodded and understood.
The Supreme Emperor did not stop, but continued to instruct: "Nanjing is where we started, but it is also where the four major families are deeply rooted. After you go there, be careful and don't take any action. If one day, there is a natural disaster in the world, you will
With these silver taels, we can recruit troops and horses to regain the world."
It's a pity that the Supreme Emperor thought too well. He based his idea entirely on Jia Ke's kindness and mercy, but he didn't know that Jia Ke was no longer the compassionate Jia Ke. His idea was doomed to fail.
After the emperor heard this, he admired Emperor Taizu extremely. Unexpectedly, he was no longer here, but he still left a way out for his children and grandchildren. With this money, if there were any natural or man-made disasters, it would be time for their family to recover.
After the Supreme Emperor finished speaking these words, his head tilted back and there was no more sound.
After the emperor turned around, he didn't hear the Emperor's reaction for a long time. Then he turned around and saw that the Emperor had passed away.
At this time, the emperor had no tears. He just stared at the emperor blankly. Then he murmured: "Mother, my father is looking for you. Don't argue anymore when you two meet."
Let's live a good life down there, otherwise I will be angry after I go."
"Mom, don't worry. There will be no other women around the Supreme Emperor this time. I'm watching over him from above."
The emperor sat next to the Supreme Emperor, laid the Supreme Emperor down again, and then covered him with a quilt. Finally, he stood up and slowly walked out of the palace.
As soon as the emperor walked out of the palace, the empress dowager came over and asked: "How is the emperor doing?"
The emperor could no longer hide his disgust for the empress dowager. He flicked his sleeves and pushed the empress dowager aside. Then he said dullly: "My father has passed away."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly collapsed on the ground.
After hearing this, Dai Quan, who was standing not far away, fell to his knees on the ground and cried loudly. The old man who had served him all his life was finally gone, leaving him feeling empty and without a backbone.
Among them, only Xia Shouzhong could still stay awake. This big man had no feelings for the Emperor. He had been serving the Emperor since he was a child. Besides, the Emperor almost beat him to death in public. It was impossible not to bear grudges.
So Xia Shouzhong hurried to the emperor's side and said to the emperor: "Long live my lord, now that the emperor has passed away, there are still many things to do, so you must hold on."
As soon as the emperor heard Xia Shouzhong's words, he immediately came to his senses and said to Xia Shouzhong: "Hurry and inform the court ministers of the death of the Supreme Emperor, and then prepare the etiquette and prepare the Palace of the Supreme Emperor."
After Xia Shouzhong listened to the emperor's instructions, he quickly went out and sent out the young eunuchs. The first one was to report the news to Fan Kang, the infantry commander of the Yamen. Then he prepared the mourning uniforms and the Zi Palace for the Supreme Emperor.
At this time, Fan Kang and the others returned to the Infantry Command Yamen with the imperial edict.
"Everyone, the imperial decree has been issued, and we have a few things to do next." Fan Kang said to several of Jia Ke's confidants after sitting down in the hall of the infantry commander's office.
After hearing Fan Kang's words, Zheng Kairen all raised their hands and said, "Everything will be as arranged by Sir."
Fan Kang nodded and said with a smile: "Now that everything is done, their marshal's mansion is not suitable for use. Before our marshal arrives, we will send some skilled craftsmen to quickly renovate the mansion, at least to make it more comfortable."
Our commander can work inside."
After Fan Kang said this, he said to Ma Zuo who was standing aside: "I remember that in the past few years, you were responsible for protecting the three houses of Ningrong Street, right?"
After hearing this, Ma Zuo smiled and said: "When the prince rebelled and our army entered the capital, it was the commander-in-chief who ordered me to lead the troops to protect Ningrong Street."
Fan Kang heard his confirmation, and then said: "In that case, then the repair of the mansion will be left to you. Our commander-in-chief's father is an official in the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also our commander-in-chief. Come to
When the time comes, just ask them for help."
"What's so difficult about this? I'll do it right away. I'll definitely let them start work tonight, and try to have the mansion roughly in shape before our commander comes back." After Ma Zuo said with a smile, he asked Fan Kang
I have to say goodbye.
Fan Kang did not keep him, but just told him to hurry up and not waste time.
After Ma Zuo left, Fan Kang said to the remaining people: "While our general is not back, the capital must be tight on the outside and tight on the inside. Especially Xiao Kun, the Imperial Guards under your control must not make any mistakes.
, and whether we should withdraw from the siege in the palace, we will make a decision after our commander comes back."
After Fan Kang ordered Xiao Kun, he said to the remaining two generals: "You must take care of the three major camps outside the city, and you must not let others seize the military power."
Zheng Kai said solemnly: "Sir, don't worry, I will live in the military camp from now on. I will not go home until the commander comes back."
Xiao Yue didn't say anything else, he just cupped his hands with a sullen face, but nothing was said.
