319 The Legacy of Chaos(2/2)
Shen.
Chen Jia was also beating the drum in his heart, knelt down and started to play: "The princes and ministers live far away, and it will take some time to get to the Forbidden City. Mr. Ding Ge is a well-educated man. If the emperor has any arrangements, why not ask Mr. Ding Ge to draw up the decree.
"
Zhengtong also felt that he couldn't hold on much longer. Although he didn't have a good impression of Mr. Ding Ge, he still nodded and said: "Forget it, Lord Ding, please come and draft a self-incriminating edict for me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They all knelt down and said, "Why are you doing this, Your Majesty?"
Zhengtong said: "You don't have to persuade me! I know what kind of emperor I am! The fire in the Palace of Supreme Harmony at this time is God's warning to me! Master Ding, write quickly!" At this time, there was already a young eunuch.
Bringing pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Concubine Hui and Chen Jia looked at each other.
There was worry in his eyes. Mr. Ding Ge kowtowed, knelt on the ground and began to write. The orthodox emperor dictated a total of six charges involving his improper employment, administrative errors, etc. The last one actually asked Mr. Ding Ge to use Chunqiu brushwork to write Taizong.
Write down all the things that are not right in your position.
Mr. Ding Ge was already sweating profusely before he wrote a few words. He did not expect that the emperor would criticize her so harshly before his death. Concubine Hui secretly clenched her fists. This edict of sin was really announced, even if it was
Ye Minzhao inherited the throne, and the throne of the emperor was not secure. Just imagine that everyone from Taizong to Zhengtong was in the wrong position. How could Ye Minzhao's succession have any legitimacy? How could the people in the world support such an emperor?
Although old man Ding Ge was of poor character, he was a man of outstanding talent. This edict of sin was written in one stroke. After it was written, he read it again in front of Zhengtong. Zhengtong nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the second time.
The imperial edict was left to Prince Ye Yichen of Jin!" It was not for Ye Minzhao but for Ye Yichen. Concubine Hui and Ye Minzhao looked at each other with a look of uncertainty in their eyes.
Zhengtong said slowly: "Prince Ye Yichen of Jin has been resisting foreign aggression in the northwest for many years. In the defense of Beijing, he led the exhausted troops to repel the Tuwu and Jurchen coalition forces and saved our country's national destiny. Later, he quelled civil unrest in the northwest and made great contributions to the country.
He is supported by all the people and officials. Moreover..."
Tong said, there was a slight pause here, and the next few words were spoken quickly and urgently, "Besides, he is the only bloodline of Emperor Taizu left in this world. It was a mistake for Emperor Taizong to ascend to the throne. I can't
I made another mistake again and again. I am determined to return the throne to the Taizu lineage!"
Zhengtong was not very happy as the emperor all his life. In addition, the prince was driven crazy, King Zhao rebelled, and the second generation of the emperor could not give birth to a child. These things were like a curse from heaven, making the Zhengtong emperor uneasy.
At this time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which symbolized imperial power, caught fire and was reduced to rubble. Zhengtong had dreams of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong one after another, and then he finally made up his mind to reverse the mistakes of the Taizong era and return the throne to Taizu's lineage.
But as soon as he said these words, everyone present was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, think twice!" Several people knelt on the ground to persuade, and Concubine Hui cried: "Your Majesty, where will your mother and son be put in this arrangement?
Aren't you afraid that King Jin will ascend to the throne and then turn around and kill our mother and son?"
Ye Minzhao clenched his fists tightly and veins popped out on his forehead. Anyone can be the emperor, but not Ye Yichen!
Zhengzheng sighed and said: "I also know that this arrangement is not suitable for you mother and son. I will find a rich land for Zhao'er to be his fief, and ask him to stay away from the capital and become king in a different place. When the time comes, you mother and son go together, and he
Although I cannot become an emperor, I can
I still know Ye Yichen for life. I still know Ye Yichen. He is arrogant and arrogant. He has received the great favor from me to abdicate the throne. He will never deal with you again. Even if others have such thoughts, he will not
I will protect you."
"...Moreover, now that war is everywhere, people's livelihood is in ruins, and the country is in ruins, only Ye Yichen has the ability to turn the tide."
Everyone tried to persuade them, but the orthodox emperor couldn't listen at all. "No need to say any more, I have made up my mind. Lord Ding, just follow my words and draw up the will!"
