Prime Minister

Chapter 395 Replacement
In Funing Hall, Empress Cao and the palace staff were weeping.

The official has been in power for more than forty years, and all the palace people feel his kindness. Once the official ate a sandstone while eating, and his teeth hurt sharply, but the official hid the sandstone and turned to the palace. "Don't say anything about this matter, otherwise it will be a death penalty."

At this moment, the official family is no longer able to do it. When it is almost time to breathe the last few breaths, the official family and Empress Cao have been together for a while, and the palace people are also weeping.

Feng Jing, however, said in a disregard of the occasion: "I implore Your Majesty to write words for the country, the clan and the subjects."

Feng Jing put a big hat on, but Zhang Yue also felt that it should be taken for granted.

As long as a 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 inheritance of the reserve, it will be turned upside down.

It's just...it's just that it's really a little unnatural!

Ren Shouzhong said: "Feng Neizhi, the empress is in grief and has no time to say this..."

Feng Jing said: "Everyone knows that when an official is dying, every sentence involves the affairs of the country. If there is no written word, the world will be uneasy! If there is any change outside the palace, the minister will not be able to absolve himself of the blame until he dies." "

Ren Shouzhong said: "There is still the empress in the imperial court, as well as the ministers and Feng Neizhi, this is too serious."

Having said that, Feng Jing looked at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue knew at this moment that he would not say a word, and if the news spread, he would be slammed by the courtiers, so he stood beside Feng Jing and said: "Ren knows that what Feng Neizhi said is reasonable, please ask your mother to preside over it. The world If the inheritance is improper, it will be a bloodbath."

Ren Shouzhong spoke again, and Feng Jing and Zhang Yue tried to persuade him with a lot of reason.

Empress Cao heard the words and said: "The Qing family don't need to talk anymore, I know about it."

Immediately, Empress Cao said to the officials: "Your Majesty, do you want to explain the affairs of our ancestors?"

The official on the Royal Tower reluctantly nodded and raised his finger. Empress Cao immediately supported the official's arm.The palace on the side said: "Prepare your pen and ink immediately!"

One person asked: "How can officials write?"

Feng Jing immediately stepped forward to confess to Empress Cao: "I am in a hurry to follow the power, and my minister has overstepped."

Empress Cao wiped her tears and said: "At this point, there is no need to stick to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers."

Feng Jing went to the imperial couch, knelt down and kowtowed, and then said: "Your Majesty is Feng Jing, a Hanlin scholar. If your Majesty has anything to say to you, please write it in the palm of your hand! I will not live up to the official's entrustment even if I die, and I will make it known to you." Tell the people of the world!"

The official nodded feebly.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty who will inherit the throne after ten thousand years?" Feng Jing spread it in the palm of his hand and placed it under the fingers of the official.

At this moment, everyone held their breath.

Standing aside, Zhang Yue also stared firmly at Feng Jing's palm.Beads of sweat were also oozing from Feng Jing's forehead at this moment.

But seeing the officials barely move their fingers and swipe horizontally and vertically in Feng Jing's palm, although the movements are extremely slow, everyone's eyes are fixed on this place.

I have written several pens!

The official's hand is suddenly powerless!
Empress Cao shouted urgently: "Medical officer, medical officer!"

Shan Xiang, Sun Zhao hurriedly said: "The minister is here."

Immediately Shan Xiang, Sun Zhao was about to administer medicine and needles to the officials, but Feng Jing stopped him and asked the officials on the imperial couch urgently: "Did your majesty write the word '木'?"

As soon as Feng Jing finished speaking, Ren Shouzhong shook his head and said: "The internal system, our family has just seen it clearly, and the official just wrote a Japanese character."

Feng Jing couldn't help saying: "What day is the word, it is clearly a word for dawn. Feng Duzhi Moyue is dazzled."

Ren Shouzhong shook his head and said, "Although I am old, my eyes are bright. This is clearly a Japanese character. Feng Neizhi misread it in a panic."

Feng Jingdao: "Is there any reason for me to be wrong about this matter involving the state?"

Ren Shouzhong said: "Our family dare not talk nonsense on this matter, Feng Neizhi is clearly just a Japanese word. The official gave you three yuan, you have to be worthy of it!"

Feng Jing said solemnly: "It is your majesty's kindness that I repay him with death."

"Can you let me be quiet for a while?" Empress Cao cried.

Feng Jing and Ren Shouzhong withdrew from the tent after apologizing to the queen.

Ren Shouzhong squinted at Feng Jing, and Feng Jing asked Zhang Yue: "What words do you know, Bachelor Zhang?"

Zhang Yue said: "Although the official family has not finished writing, it is all in terms of calligraphy and painting. I also see that it is a word of dawn."

Ren Shouzhong sneered again and again when he heard the words, as if our family did not quarrel with you.

Zhang Yue said to Feng Jing in a low voice: "There is no need to discuss the internal system with this person. When the Zai Zhi arrives, he will have his own opinion, and I will be a circumstantial evidence at that time. Besides, the inheritance of the country has its own system, and one or two people cannot allow one or two people to change their minds!" "

Feng Jing nodded and said, "Exactly."

Both of them stood outside the hall, Zhang Yue looked into the curtain when he heard the words, a feeling of sadness came from the bottom of his heart.

The other party gave himself the kindness of knowledge, and bestowed this wealth, not only that...but also the other party's tolerance, tolerance...Maybe in the eyes of most people, this official lacks a little bit of action, but it is real A good emperor, a good official.

Suddenly at this moment, time seemed to stand still.

There was no movement inside the curtain, and the people in the left and right palaces were all choking up, first in a low voice and then in a loud cry.

"Your Majesty has collapsed!"

Feng Jing was also distracted for a moment, thinking of the kindness the officials had treated him before, he also sat there crying, as for Ren Shouzhong, wept even more sadly, with his feet drooping on his chest.

Zhang Yue waited for everyone to cry for a while, then stood up and said to Feng Jing: "Feng Neizhi, at this moment, I should report to Empress Ming to arrange the affairs of Emperor Daxing after his death."

Feng Jing glanced at Zhang Yue and said: "That's exactly the case. I almost lost my mind, you and I will report to the empress together!"

Feng Jing took Zhang Yue's hand and said so.

Immediately, Feng Jing and Zhang Yue went outside the curtain to play something to Empress Cao.

Empress Cao heard the words and said, "It should be so."

Zhang Yuedao said: "I would like to report to your empress, everything in the palace will be as usual, and at the same time strictly guard the entrance and exit of Funing Hall, no one is allowed to enter, and the funeral will not be held for the time being, and the assistant ministers will be called to enter the palace one by one. I don't know if I am right or not. , please show your empress!"

Empress Cao took a deep look at Zhang Yue and said: "The palace is in disarray now, thanks to Feng, Zhang Erqing advocated that everything should be according to what Zhang Qing just said, so don't mourn for now."

"Yes." Ren Shouzhong glanced at Zhang Yue.

"Bring water, I and the officials will wash their bodies..." Empress Cao said with tears.

Hearing Empress Cao's words, all the people in the palace shed tears.

Zhang Yue and Feng Jing looked at each other, and they both left the palace gate.

At this time, Funing Hall was busy for a while, Zhang Yue and Feng Jing were sitting in the small pavilion next to the hall, Feng Jing looked too lazy to talk to Shu Xie.Zhang Yue took up the matter and came forward to talk and negotiate with Ren Shouzhong.

Ren Shouzhong glanced at Feng Jing and said, "Bachelor Zhang knows the general idea."

Zhang Yue said: "Don't dare to do it."

Immediately, Ren Shouzhong went out one by one and ordered the eunuchs to send them out of the palace.

Zhang Yue and Feng Jing watched the palace people walking back and forth outside the window until dawn outside the palace.

At this time, seeing some light in the sky, Zhang Yue said to Feng Jing: "I'll go and find out some news."

Feng Jing cheered up and said: "Thanks to Bachelor Zhang for his opinion! It is not in vain for Jiayue's appreciation of you at the beginning."

When Zhang Yue walked out of the hall, there was a sense of turmoil inside and outside the hall, and he pulled a small yellow door while no one was paying attention and asked, "Where did the princes enter the hall from?"

Xiao Huangmen said: "Returning to the bachelor, you should open the inner east gate, and then enter the palace through the back gate of the Chuigong Hall."

"Where is the back door?"

Xiao Huangmen stretched out his hand and pointed, and Zhang Yue hurried to the back door of the Chui Gong Hall.

Several little yellow men saw that Hou was here, and suddenly they heard a knock on the door from outside: "Masters are here!"

A servant patted one person on the head and shouted, "Open the door soon."

Several people hurriedly opened the city gate.

Immediately, the back door opened, Zhongshu Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, political advisor Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Gai, privy envoy Zhang Sheng, deputy privy secretary Hu Su, Wu Kui and other prime ministers arrived panting. .

"My lords!" Zhang Yue said in the foreword.

Seeing Zhang Yue, Han Qi was certain in his heart that he was guided by the eunuchs along the way. Although there were internal approvals, let alone internal approvals at this time, even the official edicts are not necessarily unreliable.

Seeing a "person of my own" in the deep palace, just in time to ask about the inside story, Han Qi pulled Zhang Yue and said: "Du Zhi..."

Zhang Yue said hoarsely: "Han Gong, Your Majesty died last night!"

Although it was expected, all the princes present were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yue saw Han Qi clenched his arm tightly, as if iron had been scorched on his arm.

All the butchers held Hu Su, and Zeng Gongliang beat his chest and howled a few times on the spot.

Zhang Yue said: "This is not a time for mourning, the empress has decided not to mourn for the time being, and wait until the princes come to the palace to discuss it before making a decision!"

Han Qi asked: "Did Your Majesty leave any will at the time of his death?"

Zhang Yuedang gave a brief talk about what is going on in the palace.

Han Qi said with a little confidence in his chest: "All the gentlemen follow me into the palace!"

Everyone cheered up and went to Funing Hall together.

Feng Jing was looking outside the hall, seeing Han Qi Zhangyue rushed to Daxie, but when Han Qi led the crowd to His Highness Funing, he bowed to the main hall first, then climbed the steps to the gate of the hall and kowtowed again.

When everyone entered the hall, Han Qi took the lead and was about to lift the curtain, when the waiter at the side said: "The empress is here!"

Han Qi took a few steps back when he heard the words, and kowtowed outside the curtain.

The queen in the curtain said: "Unfortunately, the official family suddenly became immortal last night!"

Han Qi wept and said: "Madam, my minister Han Qi is late!"

Several ministers cried together, and after a short rest the queen said: "What can we do now? Mr. Minister, the official family has no children."

Han Qi said: "I would like to tell you, Madam, if you want to enter the curtain, you must first look at the Emperor Daxing."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, but when the curtain was parted, Empress Cao turned her back and said, "Let's go in, gentlemen!"

Han Qi said to the crowd: "I will go in with Mr. Zeng and Shu, and the rest will wait outside."

When Han Qi and others entered the curtain, there was another burst of crying.Han Qi and others backed out of the curtain, and resumed their posture after the curtain was lowered.

Han Qi said: "Just now, the empress said that the official family has no children. I think the empress should not have said that, and the prince is now in the East Palace. Besides, your Majesty's will will inherit the country from the word 'shu', and the prince's name is just a word for shu."

The queen said: "Your Majesty's will, I can't see it clearly. Besides, the prince is just a clan. If he is established, how about another clan to fight for it?"

Han Qi said: "It's the so-called planning before speaking, discussing before moving, making proposals to make changes, you can invite the prince to the palace first, and then make proposals!"

After listening to Han Qi's performance, Zhang Yue expressed that he had learned it.

Behind the curtain, Empress Cao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then according to Xianggong's words, send someone to invite the prince here."

Soon the bewildered prince Zhao Shudi was surrounded by a group of eunuchs into the palace.

Everyone shouted: "The prince is here! The prince is here!"

PS: The plot just ends here, so there is no way to arrange next year according to everyone's request...
