Yang Tinghe suddenly raised the matter of inheriting the throne, but he woke up the dreamer. Many people are still confused and have not yet realized the question of who should inherit the throne by Zhu Houzhao's death.

Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne for nine years and had no children. Although some people mentioned this issue before and there were rumors that the emperor could not have children, no one paid too much attention to it. After all, the emperor was still very young, and in his twenties, it was the time when a man was the strongest. Moreover, Zhu Houzhao obviously had functions, otherwise how could he sing and spend time every night and spend money on the whole world?

The issue of offspring has never been formally mentioned or taken seriously. Zhu Houzhao himself has not even considered these issues.

But now he suddenly died. At this moment, the issue of inheritance of the throne suddenly became an urgent matter. Who can succeed the throne? There is no agreement yet.

Although he suddenly realized the urgency of this matter, no one spoke for a while. Because the emperor had just passed away for a few hours, Yang Tinghe proposed to discuss this major event, which seemed extremely urgent and inappropriate.

What he said is right. It is true that the country cannot be without a king for a day. It is indeed possible that when the imperial heir is hanging in the air, people will take the opportunity to do it. This is a very dangerous time. However, in terms of human nature, it seems cold and weak. The emperor's corpse is not cold.

"Mr. Yang, I agree with the three points in front of you. But this choice of the royal heir cannot be too hasty. Besides, the important officials in the court have not yet returned to the capital, so they cannot be decided without authorization. The Empress Dowager, the old minister, thought that he would immediately send someone to inform the Duke of the Protector and the Duke of the British to return to the capital to preside over the overall situation of the capital. Before this, no major matters should be decided without authorization."

Xu Guangzuo's chaotic mind was finally awakened at this moment because of Zhengde's sudden death. He suddenly felt something was wrong. Yang Tinghe was obviously scolded by the emperor for the defeat in Hetao before. He had already complained about his mistakes, so how could he come out to take charge of the overall situation?

This matter must be decided by Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun and others to return to Beijing before they can agree on the matter of the royal heir. We must not discuss it in such hasty. Wouldn’t it be that Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun be excluded? This is not right.

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and pondered.

Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, I think that when this matter is done, I cannot deliver the news to the foreign army. I cannot notify Duke Guguo and Duke British and others."

"Why is that? Lord Yang, the Duke of England is an important minister of the country and the Daming Pillar Kingdom. Should we hide the news of the emperor's death from them? I don't understand what you mean." Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice.

Yang Tinghe said: "Duke Ding, I'm not saying they shouldn't know, but the time is not right. The British Duke protects the country and leads the Northern Expedition army to fight to the death with the Tatars, and the number of troops does not have an advantage. Although Hetao is recovered, the main force of the Tatars has not been destroyed, and the battle of the Northern Expedition is still ongoing, and the war is extremely tight. At this time, if the news of the Emperor's death is delivered to the Northern Expedition Army and summons the two Dukes back to the capital, the morale of the army will be in chaos and the morale will plummet, which will lead to serious consequences. If the Northern Expedition Army is defeated and the Emperor of Ming is devastated again, wouldn't it cause a disaster? For the sake of our Ming Dynasty, we cannot tell them about this matter at this time, which will cause the morale of the Northern Expedition Army to decline and lead to a crisis. This is a move that will cause the Ming Dynasty to be doomed."

Everyone suddenly realized that Yang Tinghe was worried that the news of the emperor's death would hit the morale of the Northern Expedition Army. Indeed, the Northern Expedition Army was going to carry out the second phase of the Yellow River crossing, and the main force of the Tartars was still there. At this time, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun returned to Beijing, what should I do if the Northern Expedition Army was defeated? This is not an exaggeration.

Xu Guangzuo frowned and said, "I believe that the Duke of England and the Duke of the National Guard will arrange military affairs. The army will naturally deal with it. There is no need to worry about this."

Yang Tinghe said: "You can't take risks. If something goes wrong, how can you be worthy of the emperor's spirit in heaven? The emperor is eager to recover Hetao and expand territory to drive out the Tartars. For this reason, the emperor does not hesitate to gather all the troops and financial resources of the Ming Dynasty to let the British Duke and the Duke of the Guardians lead the army to fight. If this leads to the failure of the war, how can you be worthy of the emperor's spirit in heaven?"

Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, if the Duke of England and the Duke of the National Guard will not return to the capital, do you want to make the decision and agree on the great matter of the royal heir?"

Yang Tinghe said loudly: "Duke Dingguo, where did you think? The Queen Mother should decide on the matter of the royal heir and the grand throne. I have no right to agree on it. This matter must be followed by the Queen Mother's decree. Even if the British Duke and the Duke of Guard returned to Beijing, can they be good at this important matter?"

Yang Tinghe is worthy of being eloquent. Xu Guangzuo was speechless when he asked this question. He knew that Yang Tinghe was using the Empress Dowager to block the arrows, but he could not argue.

When the emperor passed away, the empress dowager's imperial decree was the highest order. The ministers' opinions also required the empress dowager's consent. He said this to be the empress dowager's favor. His behavior was really despicable, but it has to be said that this move made Xu Guangzuo unable to answer.

Everyone in the room was silent.

Empress Dowager Zhang slowly spoke, "You don't have to argue anymore. The Ai family thinks that what Yang Shoufu said makes sense. The British Duke and the Duke of Guru are leading the army to fight outside, facing the Tartar army, and there must be no mistakes. The morale of the army cannot be disintegrated because of the emperor's death. Therefore, Yang Shoufu's concern is not redundant. At this time, we must ensure the stability of the country, and the morale of the Northern Expedition Army cannot be disturbed. That is a major event that concerns the life and death of our Ming Dynasty. There must be no mistakes."

Xu Guangzuo wanted to say something, but swallowed it.

Empress Dowager Zhang continued: "Besides, they are far away in Hetao. Even if they are notified now, it will take at least half a month to twenty days to wait for them to rush back to the capital. If the military situation is urgent, will they come back or not? Therefore, the Ai family thinks that there is no need to rush to notify them. They cannot share their hearts."

"The Empress Dowager's clarification." Yang Tinghe bowed.

"The Empress Dowager's clarification." Fei Hong and others also said.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed and said, "The Ai family understands nothing, what can I tell you clearly? Yang Tinghe, the Ai family agreed to other things. But the emperor just passed away and wanted to discuss what to ascend the new emperor to the throne, which was too anxious. It would be no longer too late to delay this matter for a few days. The most important thing at the moment is to fully find out the reason for the emperor's death, hold the emperor's great funeral ceremony, settle the affairs of the government, and avoid the sudden death of the emperor causing turmoil in the government."

Yang Tinghe also realized that he was too anxious. He was too anxious at this moment, afraid that he would show his strength. Although he was very anxious, he had to warn himself not to hurry. The more anxious he was, the more trouble he would be.

"I did not say that I would discuss this matter immediately, but only asked the Empress Dowager and all the great masters to know that this matter should be considered. I am confused at this moment and my words are a little confused. I hope the Empress Dowager will forgive me for his crime." Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Yang Tinghe deeply and said to everyone: "My lords, the sudden change has occurred, and the Ai family is at a loss and don't know what to do. You are all important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. When you need you to serve the stability of the Ming Dynasty, I hope you can all stand up and do your best. The emperor and the former emperor are very good to you, and I hope you can repay you at this moment and serve loyally to the Ming Dynasty."

When the ministers heard this, they knelt down and saluted, "I should do my best to the Ming Dynasty and live up to the emperor's grace. Please mourn the Queen Mother for the sake of the throne."

Empress Dowager Zhang whispered: "Let's do this, Yang Shoufu is the head of the foreign court. Yang Shoufu will take charge of the matters of the government for the time being, and it is necessary to ensure the stability of the court. The points raised just now were based on what Yang Shoufu said. Both dukes were both honorary ministers, so they should cooperate with Yang Tinghe. First block the capital, block the news, and prepare for the emperor's great funeral ceremony. At this time, we should work together to ensure that our Ming Dynasty is stable and not to be taken advantage of by others. If anything, the Ai family and you all decided together."

Everyone said in unison: "I will obey the Queen Mother's order."

Empress Dowager Zhang stood up and said to Empress Xia, who was sitting there without saying a word: "My poor son, we are the only one left. Let's go and accompany the emperor. Finally, we will be with him for a while. After dawn, we will be buried."

Empress Xia cried and said, "Abide by the Queen Mother's will."

Empress Dowager Zhang walked over and took Queen Xia's arm. The two of them were sobbing and sobbing and supporting each other out of the door, walking towards the corridor with dim morning light, and walking into the fog of the morning.

At the 16th morning of July 20, the 9th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, more than 20 city gates in the capital and outside the capital were blocked, and curfews were imposed in the street market.

Soon after, a piece of news that shocked the capital spread throughout the capital. Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, passed away in the Qianqing Palace at the age of 25.

The whole city of Beijing was suddenly in shock. People's feelings were very complicated. Although the death of the emperor was not a good thing, Zhu Houzhao's nine years of reign, it seemed that he had not left any good impression on the people. Some rumors of his unrestrained actions were circulating everywhere, and people really had no good impression of this Emperor Zhengde.

Now that he has passed away, in addition to shock, the people seem to have a hint of ulterior motives and a hint of breathing undetectedly. It seems that the death of this Emperor Zhengde is not a bad thing, and perhaps a good thing is unknown.

Anyway, the emperor was done by someone else, and one person would come after he died. I just hope that the one he came was better than the previous one.

As for the dead man, what's there to say? He is already dead.

The night was hazy, outside the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Bin walked step by step up the tall steps of the Qianqing Palace, and walked step by step towards the main entrance of the palace with white lanterns hanging.

In the palace hall, the white curtains fluttered and danced in the wind.

Jiang Bin walked step by step to the coffin hidden by the curtain, and Zhu Houzhao's coffin was right in front of him. The incense table was filled with offerings, the incense candles floated, the paper money burned by the eunuch was flying, and the air was filled with a strange and disgusting smell.

Jiang Bin slowly knelt on the cushion, kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao's coffin, folded his hands together, and silently prayed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, if you have a spirit under the spring, don't blame me. I'm forced to do nothing. Moreover, I don't have the courage to blame, so if you want to blame, you blame Yang Tinghe. It's him who wants to kill you, not me. I'm just his knife. If I don't use it for him, I will be killed by Zhang Yanling. Therefore, you can only blame Yang Tinghe and Zhang Yanling. The grudge between you and me is over, and I hope you don't look for me."

After the regicide, Jiang Bin was unconscious all day long. He didn't want to come here, but he couldn't help but come here to repent. It seemed that doing so would make him feel better.

Behind the coffin, inside the curtain, a pair of eyes stared at Jiang Bin through the curtain. The man's eyes were swollen and his expression was cold. It was the eunuch of the East Factory Admiral and the eunuch of the Sili Superintendent.
