Chapter 239 No Choice
In the Qinzheng Hall, more than thirty important officials of the Yuan Dynasty gathered.
The first of them was summoned here by the emperor's order just after dawn today, and then they could never leave.
The latest one arrived just half an hour ago.
They did not see the emperor,
I only saw the heavily guarded Qinzheng Palace.
By this moment, everyone realized something was seriously wrong.
I am afraid that Emperor Yuan is no longer here.
"Azhaxi, where is your majesty?" The first to attack was a thin scribe. Standing in front of Azhaxi, he really looked like a little kitten in front of a big tiger.
It’s just that at this moment, the big tiger is hunched over, while the little cat’s hair and beard are spread out, with an angry look on his face.
This man's name is Li Zhun.
When he was young, he studied under Yu Entai, the most famous literary figure in the Qin Dynasty. After completing his studies, he returned and assisted Yingzhuo in improving most of the political system of the Yuan Dynasty, and shaped the Yuan Dynasty from a tribal alliance into a What a centralized unified country looks like today.
Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty still has some shortcomings in the political system compared to Da Qin or Southern Chu, the big framework has been completed, and the rest is just filling in. As for the What to fill in and how to fill it all depends on the emperors of the past dynasties.
Mamba united the tribes and made it a major force in the north.
On this basis, Bayan fought hard with Qin. Although he had to surrender and pay tribute in the end, he still He successfully established the Yuan Kingdom and forced the people of Qin to recognize the existence of this country.
By Yingzhuo's generation, it was the rapid development of the Yuan Kingdom.
The current Beiyuan is at the peak of its power since its establishment.
Li Zhun seems to be just a powerless scholar, but in this hall, his status is undoubtedly the first.
Li Zhun was about to rush into the inner hall, but Azaxi stretched out his hand to stop him. Poor Li Zhun, a thin and withered old man, couldn't move Azaxi's arm even with all his strength. He was so furious. First, a mouthful of spit hit Azashi's face, and then he turned around and shouted angrily: "Are they all dead? Open this bastard for me!"
With Li Zhun's shout, it had already been Some dissatisfied two white-bearded veterans from Wuhan University rushed up directly, and both of them reached for Azashi.
"Mr. Li, you are still so angry at such an old age?" A voice came from the inner hall, and then a figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Zhun.
"Basiba?" Li Zhun's eyes suddenly widened, "Why are you here?"
Basiba crossed the threshold and swept his eyes across the hall. With dozens of important ministers, the originally noisy hall immediately became quiet.
"Everyone, please wait patiently!" Ba Siba said in a low voice: "Li Gong, Miao De, Yelu Chongguang, Shi Xian, you guys can come in!"
Being Eight The people whose names Siba called came out one by one. Looking at Ba Siba's back, each of their faces showed a solemn look.
The heavy inner hall door opened a crack,
The few people who had just walked to the door immediately smelled a strong fragrance,
Li Zhun's face changed greatly, and several big Bu then rushed in.
On the large dragon couch, Emperor Yingzhuo of the first generation was lying there quietly.
In front of his bed, His Highness Akedun was kneeling there, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was haggard.
On the other side in front of the bed, stood Attila, the director of the Great Yuan Imperial Physician.
"Your Majesty!" Li Zhun wailed and fell to his knees with a porridge. He walked a few steps to the bed and reached out to grab Yingzhuo's cold and stiff hand. "It was fine more than ten days ago. , why did it suddenly disappear? "
Miao De, Yelu Zhongguang, and Shixian all fell to their knees and fell to the ground.
Although death was on the agenda after Yingzhuo returned from northern Xinjiang, the fact that it happened still left these people at a loss.
They have become accustomed to acting under Yingzhuo's command. Deep down, they believe that as long as Yingzhuo is still there, nothing will happen to Dayuan.
Now the leader who had led them for decades suddenly disappeared, and everyone immediately felt empty and didn't know what to do.
Besides, today’s posture is not quite right either!
The emperor is dead, and it seems that he has been dead for more than a day.
But the palace has not announced the mourning.
Instead, all the ministers have been summoned and placed under house arrest. Here,
The article here is huge.
And these people, more or less, know what Yingzhuo means.
But now, His Highness the Second is not here, and His Highness the Third is in charge of the overall situation.
And more importantly, Pasiba is here.
"Li Gong, my father has worked so hard for Dayuan, his vitality has been exhausted, his oil has run out and his lamp has dried up!" Akedun on the other side howled.
Li Zhun ignored Akedun, held Yingzhuo's hand tightly, looked up at Attila beside the bed, and said word by word: "Attila, your majesty has died at the end of his life?"
Listen When Li Zhun asked such a question, Yelu Chongguang, Shixian, and Miao De were all shocked, and then stared at Attila.
"Mr. Li, Your Majesty died of intracranial hemorrhage caused by a stroke. The onset of this disease was sudden and dangerous. I was in front of Your Majesty at that time, but let alone me, it was Old God Fu. There is no way to save yourself from this!" Attila said. "I took care of His Majesty's last remains." Li Zhun looked at Attila and nodded slightly.
In view of Attila’s accumulated moral character over the past few decades, Li Zhun still believed in him.
If Yingzhuo really died of other unspeakable reasons, Attila would never hide it from some people, especially in front of himself.
If he wants to ascend the throne as emperor in Dayuan, he will definitely not be able to do it without the approval of several people in this room.
Turning his head to look at Yingzhuo on the bed, Li Zhun knocked his head three times with tears in his eyes, then got up, stared at Ba Siba and said: "Your Majesty knew that he would never miss the holiday. , so there are arrangements for the funeral. The country cannot be left without an owner for a day. After His Majesty leaves, it is natural to establish a new owner. The edict is behind the bright plaque in the main hall. I would like to trouble you to take it down. "
Pasiba nodded and walked out.
In the main hall, dozens of people watched Ba Siba reappear in the main hall. With a wave of his hand, a rectangular box floated down behind the bright plaque behind the main hall.
This scene immediately made everyone in the hall realize something.
The sound of banging, banging, banging and falling to the ground was endless. Some people touched their foreheads to the ground and wailed, while others roared with their fists and hammers.
Once the imperial edict is issued, it is natural that the emperor has passed away.
Pasiba walked into the inner hall with the box.
Opened it in front of several people, took out the contents, and handed them directly to Li Zhun.
Li Zhun opened the edict and looked at the contents. The look in his eyes suddenly became sharp. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ba Siba.
"Basiba, you have never come down from Tiangang Peak, so some things may not be clear to you. Your Majesty's last edict was written by me in my own hand." Li Zhun said every word.
Ba Siba came over, took a look at the words on the edict, and said calmly: "Mr. Li, what's wrong? Chongguang, Miao De, Shixian, you guys should come and take a look. What's wrong? Isn’t that right?”
Yelü Chongguang stood up first, walked to Li Zhun, glanced at the imperial edict, and then looked at Li Zhun, a little confused.
“Gong Li, Imperial Master, it is clearly written on this page that His Highness Akedun shall succeed to the throne!”
After hearing this, Akedun, who had been kneeling on the ground, immediately burst into tears, holding the head of the bed with his hands, looking like he was in pain, and kept banging his head against the edge of the bed.
"Father, father, how can your son be so virtuous? I'm afraid my son will live up to your expectations!"
Li Zhun raised his head and looked at Ba Siba, Ba Siba Tomoe looked at him without giving in.
"Mr. Li, Dayuan needs stability and someone who can unite everyone to deal with the current crisis." Pa Siba said: "The three princes, no matter which one, at this stage are compared with His Majesty. , are all very different, then we can only choose the most suitable one. If you think Akedun is not good, why not go to the hall outside and ask those people now, is Akedun suitable for you? Wise, but after all, he has Qin blood, and it is difficult for us in the Yuan Dynasty to convince us. Not to mention others, Zhebie, who is currently in southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that the first one will not be convinced. "
Li Zhun's face was extremely ugly.
This edict was not written in his own hand.
The one he wrote clearly stated that the second prince, Tiele, would inherit the throne.
The current one has been replaced.
“Where is Tiele?” Li Zhun’s voice was trembling.
"Mr. Li, half an hour ago, people from the palace had arrived at the second brother's house, and told the second brother to come to the palace immediately!" Akedun, who was kneeling on the ground, said with tears in his eyes.
Li Zhun's hands trembled violently.
Inside the palace, Akedun has taken control of the overall situation and isolated himself from the inside and outside.
Tie Le did not know that the emperor was dead, and he only thought that the emperor had summoned him to give his final instructions.
The emperor is alive, and the palace is home to Tiele.
After the emperor died, the palace was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to Tiele.
As long as Tiele enters the imperial city, he will inevitably die.
Take a few steps back, Li Zhun slumped down in front of Yingzhuo's bed, turned his head and looked at the extremely calm face on the bed, with tears streaming down his face.
No matter how heroic you were or how arrogant you were during your lifetime, once you die, you will eventually become a pawn at the mercy of others.
The overall situation has been decided, he cannot save Tiele.
Moreover, under the current situation, it may be in Dayuan's best interest for Tiele to die.
The elites who control Dayuan have gathered in the main hall outside. If anything goes wrong, Dayuan will really be doomed.
When Tie Le dies, do the people gathered here have any other options?
Who else could it be besides Akdon?
Basiba walked over and pulled Akedun up, turned to Yelv Chongguang and said: "Chongguang, ask everyone to come in and listen to His Majesty's last edict together!"
