Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Xie Mingtang died on the battlefield.

On the battlefield in Qiongzhou, he died in the fight with Li Yancheng's army.

One slashed at his left arm, while the other slit his throat.

Xie Mingtang fell from the horse like this, looking at the blue sky, feeling the pain in his body and the rapid loss of vitality.

When Li Yancheng found Xie Mingtang's body, the leader's eyes were still fixed on the sky.

Li Yancheng, who was wearing tattered armor, sighed long at Xie Mingtang's corpse.

After that, he bent down and closed Xie Mingtang's eyes with both hands.

Only then did he realize that Xie Mingtang was much younger than he thought.

When he was the commander of the imperial army, Li Yancheng always regarded Xie Mingtang as the object he wanted to overcome.

First the commander of the imperial army, then the Beijing camp, and finally, he will be the real commander of the three armed forces.

Li Yancheng had planned his official career in this way, and he was confident that he would look at the position of the Beijing camp next step.

Today, he is already the commander of the three armies, but he has never entered the Beijing camp.He even stood on the opposite side of the Beijing camp and His Majesty.

The world is so impermanent.

Li Yancheng thought that even in the first 20 years of his career, he never thought that he would become a 'rebel' one day.

Li Yancheng carried Xie Mingtang's body on his back and walked for a long time before he saw their carriage.

He put the corpse on the carriage that was originally loaded with grain and grass, and said to the soldiers beside him:
"Bury him honorably."

"Marshal, who is he?"

"Son of Prince Hejian, commander of the Beijing camp, Xie Mingtang."

Seeing the military man nodding his head half-understanding, Li Yancheng turned around and left.

He is not as comfortable as Xie Mingtang, he has won the battle, and there are more things for him to do.

……

Chongguang Hall, bustling with people
Among the crowd, only Prince Jiang Yi was very frustrated.

After his father became seriously ill, he would rather let Lao Qi serve him than see him.

Although Jiang Yi knew that his father didn't want to see him, he even blamed the rebellion on him.

Although Jiang Yi felt wronged, but worried about the old emperor's body, he could only feel wronged alone.

It was only when everyone was present that Jiang Yi faintly felt something was wrong.

The Chongguang Hall was surrounded by guards, but the father did not show up for a long time.

Suddenly, Old Wang Ge finally entered the hall, and everyone was about to ask him about today's gathering, but they saw Old Wang Ge walking straight in front of them.

He held a shining imperial decree in his hand.

After everyone's discussion gradually disappeared, Mr. Wang Ge coughed a few times.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he read out the latest draft of the cabinet's succession decree.

Because the old emperor left in a hurry, no imperial decree was left behind.

According to the etiquette of the Great Xia, the prime minister or the cabinet will draft an imperial decree to determine the heir.

"Follow the heavens and carry the emperor's decree

The former emperor suddenly collapsed and returned to the five elements. According to the laws of Daxia, the crown prince Jiang Yi should inherit the throne...

"

As soon as this imperial decree came out, everyone turned their attention to the prince Jiang Yi who was usually ignored.

Jiang Yi's face turned pale, and his mind suddenly froze.

What?Father died of illness?

Gu... Gu is going to be the emperor?
When Jiang Yi was in a trance, Fu Sheng pushed Jiang Yi secretly, making him sober up for a short time.

Jiang Yi knelt down to worship the imperial decree, then got up and walked to Elder Wang Ge, opening his mouth to say something.

But I saw that under the leadership of Mr. Wang Ge, everyone bowed to the ground.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty ascended to the throne of God."

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

King Wen showed unwillingness, but when all the courtiers bowed their heads, he was not so stupid as to be the target of public criticism.

The rest of the princes also looked similar.No one wanted this cowardly second brother to ascend the throne, thinking that he was the candidate for the new emperor in the eyes of his father.

But facing the coercion of a group of elders, most of them gritted their teeth and endured it.

But the Seventh Prince who was once the most beloved was not among them.

He stood up abruptly, his face flushed with anger, and angrily said: "I am the emperor's favorite person. Jiang Yi has not been loved by the emperor since he was a child. The imperial edict is fake!"

But what he was facing was not the soft and stingy prince, but the elder Wang Ge who delivered the decree.

Old Wang Ge snorted coldly, and his eyes were like knives, slashing at the Seventh Prince.

"Oh, are you saying that this edict from the old minister is false?"

Facing Mr. Wang Ge, the Seventh Prince was not so arrogant.He took a step back timidly, stiffened his neck, and said bravely: "Father once said that he would pass on the throne to me..."

King Wen, who was kneeling near him, cursed secretly in his heart: Trash.

Don't those elders care who the father favors?What's more, my father also told him that my son has great ambitions and can be the emperor.

But now, isn't he still kneeling in the palace in such a sensible way?
Seeing that the prince did not move, Mr. Wang Ge heaved a long sigh in his heart, and said on his behalf:

"It seems that the seventh prince is not sober. Someone will send the prince to the back hall to recuperate."

The soldiers surrounding the Chongguang Hall suddenly moved, and the two soldiers grabbed the Seventh Prince's arm and dragged him away from the hall.No matter how the Seventh Prince yelled, he remained indifferent.

After a while, the shouting outside the hall disappeared.

Everyone kneeling in the hall obediently looked at the ground, not daring to make any more small movements.

After the crowd dispersed, Jiang Yi was still in a trance.

Old Wang Ge couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

A prince is not suitable to be a good monarch, and a king who is too kind will often be disappointed.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, there is a gentle new monarch who can stabilize the situation in Great Xia more than anyone else.

And the Wang Pavilion always looks further away.

It is said... Princess Anle has a very good relationship with this 'new monarch'.

When Princess Anle got married, only the crown prince took the prince of Huai'an to see him off.

After that, there was a constant exchange of letters.

Wang Ge always thought that it was time to extinguish the flames of war from the territory of Great Xia.

……

By the time the news of the old emperor's death reached Quanzhou, three days had passed.

When Jiang Sile received Li Yancheng's letter, he thought it was a prank or a random thought.

But it wasn't until the second letter came that Jiang Sile fully accepted it all.

Like her in a trance, there is King Jin.

Jin Wang is the only remaining younger brother of the old emperor. Over the years, the relationship between the two brothers has been very good on the surface.

So, Jiang Sile watched King Jin shed tears in front of her eyes, crying so hard.

To be honest, Jiang Sile has never seen King Jin like this these days.

There used to be rumors that King Jin and His Majesty were just superficially brotherly, and they were constantly fighting each other in the interior.

Now Jiang Sile doesn't believe it.

After all, her fake daughter couldn't even cry.
