Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God
Chapter 33 The Prelude to the Turmoil (Part 2)
All of this happened so suddenly.
Emperor Tianqi passed away so quickly that no one was prepared at all!
Even though Wei Zhongxian, a nine-thousand-year-old man who has gone through countless hardships and dangers to climb below the current person and above ten thousand people, watched helplessly as the emperor he was half-supporting turned from a living person into a corpse, for a while, he also
He was stunned there, speechless for a while.
"ah!"
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the saintly lady guest Baba under the tulle let out a shrill scream in fear, causing everyone in the hall to come back to their senses.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Wei Zhongxian shouted sharply, and the cold voice instantly silenced the entire hall. All the eunuchs and maids in Xianyang Palace looked tremblingly at this powerful eunuch who could decide their fate.
Wei Zhongxian's expression quickly returned to calmness from shock. While he slowly placed Tianqi's body on the soft bed and chair in front of him, he loudly ordered the trusted eunuchs around him.
"Pass the password to our family and order the imperial army to blockade the imperial city."
"Dongchang, Jinyiwei, monitor the inner and outer cities. If any disorder is discovered, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Let the 40,000-strong eunuch army set off immediately from Nanhaizi and return to the outskirts of the capital!"
······
If placed in an ordinary and non-extraordinary world, an emperor's servant with Wei Zhongxian's status would definitely block the news immediately after the emperor's death. Under the condition that his own interests can be guaranteed, he would quietly find other state ministers.
Discuss how to reduce the political impact of the emperor's death.
But in this extraordinary world, the death of Emperor Apocalypse caused the phenomenon of the immediate collapse of the True Dragon Dharma that was entangled in the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible to hide the fact that all parties in the capital knew the "Qi Watching Technique" and other techniques.
"people with a heart".
Therefore, 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian never thought about keeping a low profile!
He directly issued orders to control various violent departments in the city of Peiping, and transferred the military eunuch pure army troops he personally formed to the outside of the capital city.
Then, Wei Zhongxian took out the secret pavilion built by Emperor Tianqi himself, which was the back-up document that the emperor had prepared in advance when he found out that he was physically handicapped, and went to the Zongren Mansion.
In this world where the extraordinary appears in the world, there is more than one copy of the imperial edict of passing the throne of the Ming Dynasty. There is also one that is kept in the mansion of the clan that represents the strongest force of the royal family. Only the royal spirit patterns in the two copies are the same. This inheritance
Only the imperial edict has legitimacy.
To those civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats, Wei Zhongxian was a traitor and a jester.
But for the entire royal family, Wei Zhongxian, who can rectify the imperial houses and shops in various places, reopen the tea tax and mineral tax, and ensure that the entire royal family’s salary is paid in full or even increased significantly, is a good and loyal dog!
As long as Wei Zhongxian guarantees that the edict in his hand has not been changed, then those ancestors of the clan and royal family who do not care about state affairs must trust him, a capable servant, more than those foreign ministers.
And if the royal ancestors in the clan's mansion confirm the imperial edict in Wei Zhongxian's hands, then he will have the initiative in everything that follows.
After all, Emperor Tianqi really trusted and favored Wei Zhongxian during his lifetime. The edict of passing the throne was written by Emperor Tianqi in front of Wei Zhongxian at that time. There were many contents in it that guaranteed his interests. As long as he could follow the decree normally
Execution, his future power is relatively secure.
When things were irreconcilable, Wei Zhongxian could even directly mobilize the eunuchs to enter the city with the support of the clan ancestors and use overwhelming force to suppress all dissent!
It can be said that although the incident happened suddenly, Wei Zhongxian still took everything into consideration instinctively.
If he really follows his ideas, then the next process of the new emperor's ascension to the throne will be as smooth as he wishes, without any twists and turns!
However, in this period when Lin Pingzhi has not flapped his butterfly wings to a large extent, history has no ifs for the time being!
Just as the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian was on his way to the Zongren Mansion, one of the three unsolved mysteries that occurred in the late Ming Dynasty in the history of this time and space happened as scheduled.
"Ancestor, ancestor is missing!"
"The second ancestor has disappeared!"
"The third ancestor is also missing!"
"What happened? Why are there no traces of our ancestors?"
At this time, in the clan mansion, there was a panic among the descendants of the Ming Dynasty royal family who had given up their right to inherit the nobility and chose to practice cultivation.
As practitioners with royal blood, almost all of them felt the collapse of the True Dragon Dharma on the Dragon Pillar of National Destiny.
Some of them did not follow the internal martial arts, but were low-level qi practitioners who really used spiritual energy to practice. They immediately looked at the sky above the Forbidden City through qi-gazing techniques or using magic eyes. In an instant, their expressions changed drastically and they became extremely panicked.
To connect with the ancestors of the clan in each house and lineage.
However, it can be heard from the exclamations they are making now that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, which they relied on to really suppress the vast land of China, almost had the ability to defeat an army by one person, or were innate in martial arts, or powerful clans in the realm of concentrating and building pulses.
Ancestors, at this critical point when the imperial power is about to change, they all disappeared inexplicably!
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the clan house, which had never encountered such a strange situation, was in chaos. When several first-class and highly respected clan elders under the royal family ancestors stepped forward to initially stabilize the overall situation, information about the unusual disappearance of the royal family ancestors came to light.
It has been leaked out and placed on the desks of all "interested people" in the capital.
And then, when Wei Zhongxian and his eunuchs arrived at the Zongren Mansion holding the edict of emperor Tianqi's succession, the news of the emperor's death had spread throughout the upper echelons of the capital.
In an instant, the situation in the entire capital was in turmoil and was on the verge of breaking out.
Almost everyone is waiting for who will step forward and be the first to take the lead...
——————————————————————————
"Your Majesty, why did your Majesty just go?"
"well!"
At the residence of Li Biao, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, all the capital officials from the Donglin lineage were urgently summoned. After confirming the news of Tianqi's death from Li Biao's mouth, they all looked miserable.
No matter how scummy the future "Donglin successors" are, the first few generations of Donglin officials are indeed a breath of fresh air among civil servants during this period. On them, adjectives such as "loyal to the emperor" and "loving the people" are
, it was not as false as it was during the party strife during the Chongzhen period.
Most of these early Donglin officials had the characteristics of idealists. Just like now, most of them are really grieving for the untimely death of their emperor and father.
"My lords, my emperor, Bintian, was actually harmed by the eunuchs."
A middle-aged official wearing a fifth-grade official robe, with a temperament that was incompatible with the surrounding Donglin officials, stood up from the chair to the lower right of Li Biao and said in a somewhat impatient tone.
"The top priority is to ask you to use that backup weapon!"
"Connect with us and wait together to kill the eunuch traitors!"
Seeing that the official in front of him looked calm, without any sadness for the death of his father, all the Donglin officials present looked angry. However, when they heard him say "that backhand", except for Donglin who was sitting at the top,
Except for the veteran Li Biao, everyone looked shocked.
"how do you know?"
"Yes, how do you, the Chu party, know about our Donglin's back-up plan!"
Facing the questions from the Donglin officials, the fifth-grade middle-aged official sneered and said directly regardless of Li Biao's somewhat sad face next to him.
"Not only our Chu Party knows, but also the Zhejiang Party, the Hunan Party...who doesn't know?"
"Although you and Donglin have the most literary people, we are not without true Confucians who can use literary spirit!"
"When the original song of righteousness written by Prime Minister Wen of the previous dynasty was obtained by you, our true Confucians have already sensed the huge awe-inspiring righteousness..."
The "true Confucianism" he refers to is a Confucian disciple who can use his own literary spirit to defeat ghosts and demons.
If you are a "true Confucian" and an official at the same time, then you can use the aura of culture to bless the official aura in the official seal, attract hundreds or even thousands of times the dragon energy of national destiny, and suppress the truly extraordinary evil spirits.
Before the collapse of Wenquxing in the previous dynasty, Wenhua Qi could be upgraded to a more powerful Wendao force after receiving the blessing of Wenquxing's power, and the most famous of those powers was the Haoran Zhengqi that left a name for later generations.
"Song of Righteousness" was originally a famous cultural treasure of Haoran Zhengqi, which was left by Wen Tianxiang, a great scholar in the late Song Dynasty. In this era, which can be called a literary desert, the emergence of a cultural treasure of Haoran Zhengqi was regarded as a masterpiece in the eyes of true Confucianism.
It is as dazzling as a small sun suddenly appearing in the dark night, which can be clearly perceived even from a long distance away.
When the Donglin lineage discovered the cultural treasure from a hidden compartment in an ancient Confucian forest, it happened so suddenly that there was no time to hide it. It was not surprising that it was sensed by other true Confucian scholars in the surrounding area...
