Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"This Xu Can actually set fire to the house and destroyed cultural relics. It is unforgivable!" Su Mu happened to be walking among the crowd.

Next to them were Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, the cabinet scholars who were trembling with anger.

As for Mu Bin, he pursed his lips tightly and looked serious.

"It's so hot, I'm hoarse!" Su Mu casually threw a simple horn on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

"Report to Xiang Liu, Xiang Li, and Commander Mou that the enemy has been completely disarmed by me."

"Report, Duke Huai has been captured!"

"My lords, Li Shishi has been caught!"

Thousands of military officers kept coming to report.

"Report, Xu Can has been captured!" Hu Shun brought Hu Jinxue over to report that both their uncle and nephew were covered in blood, and as the forward part, they had been fighting at the forefront.

Since both of them came back and captured Xu Can again, it means that this riot is completely over.

The two elders and Mou Bin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Liu Jian glanced at the burning hall, and hurriedly said, "Extinguish the fire!"

He raised his voice and shouted again: "Where is the prince, where is your majesty?"

There was a cry in the hall: "The prince is here!"

Then Zhang Yong's voice sounded: "Prince's decree, that is to say, Commander of Jinyiwei, Mou Bin, will take over Xiyuan's defense."

Mu Bin knelt down and shouted loudly: "Minister Mu Bin obeys orders!"

"Xuan, cabinet scholars Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xuan Sumu entered the hall to speak!"

Su Mu and the two elders bowed hurriedly: "I obey!"

The heart hanging in the throats of everyone present finally fell.

************************************************** ******

The fire was finally extinguished, and the hall went dark.

When Su Mu and the other three entered the hall, Zhang Yong greeted him and said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu Ge, Mr. Li Ge, Long Live has already been honored by the dragon, please go to court clothes."

The two pavilions were struck by thunder at the same time, one staggered, and asked at the same time: "Where did the Long Live Lord stop?"

"In Nuan Pavilion, follow me." The prince became sad now, held back his tears, and strode towards the back, taking off his armor while walking.

Liu Jin hurriedly caught it and handed it to the guard beside her, and then gave Zhang Yong a hard look with jealous eyes.Zhang Yong's performance tonight was really eye-catching, and he had already been overwhelmed.

When he was in the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao suddenly knelt down in front of Hongzhi's body and cried loudly: "Father, the unfilial son finally took care of those rebellious officials and thieves and came to accompany you! Father, open your eyes and see, you go like this Now, leaving my son alone in the world, can you bear it?"

His crying caused a chain reaction, and everyone burst into tears, even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang's bodies were crumbling, and tears fell in succession.

Su Mu was also heartbroken, but looking at the situation in front of him, Chu Jun was basically a second-rate, ignorant child.The two elders were overly sad, and there were still a lot of things to take care of, but they had to force themselves to calm down.

He strode to Emperor Hongzhi's bedside, and took out several copies of the imperial decree from under the pillow.Loudly said: "My condolences to the crown prince, condolences to Liu Xiang and Li Xiang. When Emperor Daxing died, Su Mu happened to be in front of his old man, but he received two edicts. One was to pass on the throne to the crown prince, and the other was to be commanded by Jin Yiwei. Make Mu Bin the Duke of Yue, the governor of the military affairs of the capital, and appoint the cabinet ministers Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian to be prime ministers with full powers. During the national funeral, all government affairs are handled by the cabinet."

"Su Mu was ordered by Emperor Daxing to read the imperial edict to the two pavilions." He unfolded the edict and read aloud: "The crown prince is generous, his character is precious, and he bows deeply to me. After my death, he will surely inherit the throne." Tradition. The biography is located in Prince Houzhao. Qin this. The first month of the 17th year of Hongzhi."

Needless to say, these two edicts were written by Su Mu after discussing with Zhu Houzhao before leaving the palace.Hongzhi died very suddenly, but there was no will left.

At that time, Zhu Houzhao was already so sad that he couldn't help himself, so Su Mu gritted his teeth and simply wrote it as a ghostwriter.In any case, for the succession of the crown prince, legal procedures must be followed.

Before that, Su Mu also agreed with him in advance what the prince should do after the decree was announced.

After reading the imperial decree, Su Mu quietly kicked Zhu Houzhao's heel without anyone knowing,

Zhu Houzhao woke up, threw himself on Hongzhi, and cried loudly: "Father, father, you have worked hard all your life, and your sons and officials are dull. You only care about having fun, but you don't share any worries for you. Now that you are gone, you will leave the daughter The burden falls on the son, how can the son bear it!"

This crying was a real expression of emotion, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang's tears welled up again.

The two of them knelt down at the same time, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times: "Long live, the late emperor has already done a great job. Please also pray for the long live, and go to the great treasure early, so as to rest the hearts of the subjects."

Zhu Houzhao was still crying, Su Mu stretched out his hand and helped him up.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao wipe his eyes: "Mr. Liu Ge and Mr. Li Ge are invited. The tomb of the Emperor Daxing collapsed suddenly. I am still young, and I am very upset. The temple name of the Emperor Daxing also invites Li Ge Let’s settle down, and then go and announce to the officials about the Daxing Emperor Bintian.”

"Yes, I obey the order." Li Dongyang stood up, took Hongzhi's will from Su Mu, and hurried out.

Zhu Houzhao: "Old Liu Ge."

"The minister is here."

Zhu Houzhao's face straightened, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "You come to write an order on my behalf, ordering that the King of Jing must leave the capital before noon, and those who violate it will be punished as treason. The order will be published throughout the country. During the emperor's funeral, all ministries will And officials from all over the world, stop the transfer, otherwise they will be severely punished. Also, use a hundred thousand urgent documents to inform the whole country that from now on, without my own handwritten edict, all soldiers will be ordered, and no one is allowed to transfer a single soldier without authorization. Fa-rectification on the spot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jian had already written the edict and ordered someone to take it out.

"It's time to go to court, Mr. Ge first go to meet the ministers of the ministry."

Wait for Liu Jian to leave.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to signal the crowd to retreat.

Only he and Su Mu were left in the room.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao's tears fell again, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Zi Qiao, I am the emperor now, but I am very confused about what the emperor should do."

Su Mu sighed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has done a good job just now, and he will definitely be a wise emperor in the future. Being an emperor is like practicing martial arts. At the beginning, I thought it was unattainable, but as long as you practice every day Go on, and you will find that your martial arts are gradually improving, and finally become a generation of peerless masters without knowing it."

Hearing that Su Mu used martial arts as a metaphor to be an emperor, Zhu Houzhao's expression became firm, and he suddenly bowed to Su Mu.

Su Mu was very surprised, and lifted him up: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between you and me, and I can't bear it."

"Zi Qiao, maybe this is the last time I'll call you." Zhu Houzhao's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Su Mu sincerely; "If it wasn't for you this time, I'm afraid I'd be ruined by those disorderly officials and thieves outside. I told you before, if you are rich, don't forget each other, I have a golden word, and this word will always be valid."

Su Mu sighed in his heart, but also felt sad: "I can't stand it."

At this moment, Liu Jin's voice came from outside: "Long Live Lord, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace earlier!"

Zhu Hou looked after Su Mu.

Su Mu didn't speak, but nodded solemnly to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's tears fell again: "Being the emperor is the hardest and most tiring job in the world. I am afraid that I will fail the great trust of the late emperor. The late emperor, why did you leave me and go away?"

After crying, he strode to the door.

Liu Jin stepped forward: "Long live, how to deal with the three rebels, King Huai, Xu Can and Li Shishi?"

Emperor Zhengde glanced at the three people kneeling on the snow in the distance with disgust: "wait for the order!"

Then he paused again, and said solemnly: "Drive, go to Fengtian Temple!"

"Long live God set off!"

One after another, it was passed in Xiyuan like a relay.

Because Su Mu was a commoner, he couldn't accompany him, so he just stood at the door.

The snow was so heavy that the three people kneeling on the ground had turned into snowmen.

He suddenly understood that Emperor Zhengde wanted to freeze these three people to death.

This is also what you deserve.

The rebellious Dongchang Fanzi had already been taken into custody, and the Jinyi soldiers who entered the guard also retreated to guard around, and the entire Xiyuan suddenly fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky began to dimly light up, and it was already past [-] o'clock.

Suddenly, the Jingyang bell rang, and the whole capital trembled.

It seems that Emperor Zhengde has the situation under control.

Su Mu let out a sigh of relief, and sat down while supporting the door frame, only feeling that all limbs were soft.

He let out a long breath: "What a long night!"
