Chapter three hundred and forty-four: Will
Zhu Ji died, which was expected, because everyone knew Zhu Ji's body, and it was no longer possible, and he could die at any time. For a while, Zhu Ji could not speak anymore. It was a miracle to be able to live until now. However, after all, he was the king of Liang State. His death touched the hearts of many people, especially when the Zhu family had no descendants, Zhu Hongji and Zhu Hongyi were dead. Everyone knew that the world of Liang State was about to change, the old king died, and the new king ascended the throne.
Ning Caichen and Chen Gong walked into the palace together. Originally, Chen Gong had no official position, so such people were not allowed to enter the palace. However, now, the entire Ye capital is controlled by Ning Caichen. Moreover, Chen Gong, as a person Ning Caichen is interested in, there is naturally no problem in entering the palace, and no one will stop him from watching him. When he came to the imperial study room, there were already many people here, all of whom were old ministers and ministers of the Liang State.
"General Ning!" "General Ning" "General Ning."
Ning Caichen's arrival caused quite a stir, and they greeted Ning Caichen one after another. These people were all old and saw the situation thoroughly. Knowing that Ning Caichen's ascending the throne was irreversible, they greeted Ning Caichen warmly without any concealment of showing kindness. Ning Caichen did not put on any airs and nodded in response. Of course, there were also a few people watching coldly and not very friendly to Ning Caichen. Most of these people were old antiques, and they were old ministers of the Liang State. They were not interested in Ning Caichen's "co-spoke". Ning Caichen did not speak out. Naturally, he noticed it, but he didn't take it seriously. These people were the best. If they were not honest, he wouldn't mind cleaning them up.
Chen Gong followed Ning Caichen, without saying anything, and watched quietly.
"Teacher, senior brother, Taiwei Xiao..."
Ji Xuan and Xiao Teng are also here, and Ji Yuan, Xiao Teng and Ji Xuan are both wearing official uniforms, while Ji Yuanzhe is wearing a blue Confucian shirt.
"General Ning", "Here I'm here", "Junior Brother"
The few people greeted each other, nodded, and then fell into silence. Ning Caichen and Chen Gong stood beside Ji Yuan, Xiao Teng and Ji Xuan, headed by Ning Caichen, and there were more than a dozen ministers standing behind them. These people were all consciously standing behind Ning Caichen and others, vaguely with Ning Caichen and others. Of course, there were also several ministers standing on the other side, vaguely with Ning Caichen and others, but there were very few people, only four old ministers.
Ning Caichen looked at the people, all of which were old ministers, with gray hair. He was not familiar with them, and only knew one of them, whose surname was Liang and named Liang Chong, who was a second-rank minister. Ning Caichen didn't care, but just glanced at him, but the ministers behind him noticed Ning Caichen's eyes, and looked at Liang Chong and the four people beside him, with a hint of sneer in their eyes.
Then, the place fell silent again, no one spoke or made noise. After about ten minutes, the closed door of the imperial study room opened.
"Have you seen the Queen!"
Queen Xiao was wearing a phoenix robe, noble and beautiful, and slowly walked out, but her eyes were a little red, as if she had cried.
"Empress, Your Majesty!"
The goatee standing in front of Liang Chong couldn't help but speak first, looking at Queen Xiao, and the others also looked at Queen Xiao.
"Your Majesty, you're dead!"
"His Majesty!"
After Queen Xiao's words came to a large crowd of griefs. Ning Caichen was a little dumbfounded. He glanced at him and found that both Liang Chong and the four ministers behind him were all sad at this moment, and tears were flowing out. He looked like that, he was really crying, and there was a whimper, and someone even cried loudly!
Is this really crying or fake crying? Ning Caichen was speechless. He felt that these people were playing, at least Zhu Ji was dead, and he didn't feel any sadness.
At the end, there were sobs here, and the seventies and eighty-year-olds cried loudly like children. On the contrary, Ning Caichen, Chen Gong, Ji Yuan, Ji Xuan and Xiao Teng seemed the calmest.
"My dear Lords, everyone dies, and His Majesty leaves very quietly."
After a while, Queen Xiao spoke to comfort everyone present, and I don’t know if her words had worked. The scene suddenly became quiet, the crying sounds disappeared, and the whimpering sounds disappeared. Except for a few who were really sad, Ning Caichen watched from the side without saying anything, but he was speechless. In his previous life, these people had to give at least 120% of their acting skills...
"Your Majesty is worried about the country and the people. Excessive work leads to his early death. It is really my loss." A minister spoke at this time, his face was not flushed or breathless. He was a minister behind Ning Caichen. He looked in his fifties, ordinary appearance, and a little short. Everyone present couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. This lie is said one by one. Who doesn't know what Zhu Ji is here, he is stupid, lustful, incompetent, and a piece of mud that cannot be supported on the wall. In his mouth, he becomes a wise ruler who cares about the country and the people.
"However, the country cannot be without a king for a day." At this moment, the man changed his tone, but everyone present changed their faces slightly. He only heard the man say, "The eldest prince, the second prince dies early, and I have no successor to Daliang. This is definitely a disaster for me Daliang. I think it is necessary to choose my Daliang king immediately to stabilize my Daliang territory."
"Mr. Zhao said very much. The country cannot be without a monarch in one day. When Your Majesty dies, our Liang Kingdom should immediately choose a monarch to stabilize the people's hearts." Another minister jumped out and said: "I think that the general is both civil and military, has a peerless talent, and is the best in the world in terms of martial arts. There are few people who discuss literature and wisdom. Now, there is no successor to our Liang Kingdom. The general is the only son-in-law of our Liang Kingdom. He married Princess Yongle, and he is also the descendant of His Majesty. This throne is the general."
"That is, the general has achieved civil and military virtues and should inherit the throne."
"I inherited the throne of King Liang, and I only obeyed the general."
"I beg the General to ascend the throne."
In the end, many ministers present knelt down and saluted Ning Caichen. These were the ministers who were originally standing behind Ning Caichen. They were expressing their opinions and intending to please Ning Caichen and show their loyalty to Ning Caichen.
Ning Caichen didn't say anything, but just looked at these people. Chen Gong, Ji Yuan, Ji Xuan, Xiao Teng and others next to him did not speak. Queen Xiao stood at the door of the imperial study room and was silent. At this time, Liang Chong and the other four men looked bad. The goatee-bearded minister standing in front of Liang Chong shouted excitedly-
"It's a big rebellion, a big rebellion, when will it be an outsider's turn to inherit the world of my Daliang?"
"Then Lord Zhu thought, who should inherit the Liang Dynasty?" A minister behind Ning Caichen spoke, looking at the person who was talking.
"This person is named Zhu Hongxi, he is a foreign relative of Zhu Ji, and he is Zongzheng of Liang Guo." Chen Gong whispered to Ning Caichen's identity, and Ning Caichen's eyes were slightly condensed.
"Of course, my Zhu family's country is inherited by my Zhu family." Zhu Hongxi snorted.
"Haha, the eldest prince and the second prince are all dead. I wonder if Lord Zhu thinks who else is qualified to succeed the throne? Does Lord Zhu want to sit on the throne by himself?" The minister behind Ning Caichen spoke again, but his words were very bad, with a sneer in his eyes. In his opinion, Zhu Hongxi is looking for death now.
"You!" Zhu Hongxi choked and pointed at the minister who couldn't speak, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Okay, no need to argue anymore, your Majesty has already given a will."
At this moment, Queen Xiao, who was standing at the door of the imperial study room, spoke. At his signal, a eunuch dressed in a father-in-law walked in front with the imperial edict. Seeing this scene, everyone also calmed down. Looking at the father-in-law, he heard the father-in-law screaming-
"......... The late emperor's life was in war, established the Liang Kingdom in chaotic times, and created my 100-year foundation in Daliang. However, the Han Kingdom in the south was eyeing him and the Han family ambitions in the north. I was ordered to overcome the situation in times of danger and always think about the road to enrich the people and strengthen the country. It's a pity that I have a miserable fate. Whenever I see the people of Liang Kingdom suffering, my heart is like a knife... I screamed sadly, and the disease was plagued by the disease, and I felt that the deadline was coming, so I wrote a will, hoping that all the ministers would learn from it. Chen County would like to promote it, and I would like to promote it with both civil and military affairs, outstanding wisdom and strategy, destroy the Yellow Turban and Hulao Pass, defeat the Han army in Luoshui City, and expose the treacherous ministers and monsters to cross Cihang.... The wisdom, strategy and courage of Jinzhi are unparalleled in the world. After my death, I will succeed you to the throne..."
The scene was in a strange silence, leaving only the father-in-law's somewhat sharp voice. The words of the edict were not long or short, hundreds of words, but the meaning was already very clear, allowing Ning Caichen to succeed the throne.
"General Ning, please accept the order." Finally, the father-in-law looked at Ning Caichen and said.
"I, I would rather go forward to it and accept the order!"
Ning Caichen bowed and walked over and took the will.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
At this time, Xiao Teng suddenly shouted, and then bowed to salute Ning Caichen first.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Then, Ji Xuan, Chen Gong and the ministers behind him all bowed to Ning Caichen, and even Ji Yuan bowed at this time.
"The great rebellion is not righteous, the great rebellion is not written by His Majesty. It must be you. Ning Jinzhi, you dare to pass on the false edict..."
At this moment, Zhu Hongxi shouted out a little out of control and pointed his finger at Ning Caichen.
"Puff!"
But the next moment, Zhu Hongxi's body froze and his eyes widened. Ning Caichen took action directly, very decisively, and shot out a sword with his fingers and shot Zhu Hongxi's heartlessness through, killing him directly-
"The person who comes, Zhu Hongxi disrespects the imperial edict, should be punished and pull the body out!"
After killing Zhu Hongxi with one finger, Ning Caichen ordered with a calm expression.
"promise!"
Several soldiers walked in and dragged Zhu Hongxi's body out directly. Everyone present was gasping for air. Except for Ji Xuan, Chen Gong, Xiao Teng and Ji Xuan, the four people with calm expressions, even Queen Xiao was shocked. Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen would take action directly, and be so decisive and cruel, killing him directly. As for the others, they were even more frightened. They were shocked by Ning Caichen's methods, and Liang Chong and the other two had their faces even pale.
"The three adults are so old, it's time to enjoy their old age."
Ning Caichen looked at Liang Chong and the other two again and said, for a moment, the three of them looked as if they were ashamed. They knew that this life was over.
"May I have your name?"
Ning Caichen looked at the minister who had just spoken behind him again. This person was very good. When he saw the situation, the most important thing was that he knew what to say and do."
"Sir Zhao Yan, I have met Your Majesty."
The man said in a hurry with blood.
"You're very good."
"Thank you, thank you for sharing your worries, is my honor."
