Six hundred and fortieth IX care solitary
Chapter 649: Entrust an Orphan
When he saw Chen Xie, Su Haochen strode forward and whispered in a grim manner: "Sir, the capital has an order and asks you to return as soon as possible. This order came ten days ago." This sentence made Chen Xie stunned. There was no doubt that something must have happened. Chen Xie didn't know what happened. At least the shadow has not sent it accurately.
Since he was very anxious, Chen Xie should not stay in Xinghai City for a long time. After three days of rest, he took all the worst situations and brought ten third-level battleships with him. When he returned to the senior officer, he would bring ten third-level battleships with him. There were a total of twenty third-level battleships. He went north and arrived in Huating two months later. At this time, Chen Xie received accurate information. Zhu Youjian had a stroke and his life was suspended, but his hands and feet could not move, and he was not speaking smoothly, and he was vague.
No wonder he was anxious to urge Chen Xie to go back. At this time, he really needed to sit in the capital and save Zhu Youjian's throne and complete the handover smoothly. Chen Xie immediately issued three orders. First, he asked Chang Shiren to lead 10,000 elite Liaodong troops to take over Shanhaiguan defense. Second, he transferred five third-level battleships from Huating to form 25 third-level battleships and several supply ships to go north to Tianjin. Third, an infantry division stationed in Huating immediately drew a brigade and drove to the scene.
Nanjing, make sure that Nanjing is safe. After these three orders were issued, Chen Xie wrote two letters to the capital, to Yang Tinglin and Lu Xiangsheng respectively. The letter was the same. I am coming back. Anyone who dares to make trouble at this time will firmly suppress it. No matter what banner he is using, who dares to talk about the affairs of the crown prince will be regarded as Chen Xie's mortal enemy. Finally, there is another saying, "At this time when the country is in trouble, stability overwhelms everything. If you don't want to be an enemy, then be obediently with your tails.
Not only that, Chen Xie also rushed a manuscript and sent it to Nanjing Ming Pao, proposing two persistences, and insisting on the orthodox Ming Dynasty, and insisting on His Majesty's idea of improving the system will never waver. And he issued a threat of naked, naked, and naked. Anyone dared to shake these two points and would break his dog's head without hesitation. As soon as this article was released, the world was shocked!
The various demonic winds before came to an abrupt end with Chen Xie's return and a manifesto. Did they write Chen Xie's article well? Haha, it's stupid to think so. What they are afraid of is the army of Shanhaiguan, the fleet parked on the sea, and the army entering Nanjing. What they are afraid of is that Chen reappears in the Xiangyang Massacre.
When I learned about Chen Xie's return, the governors and governors of Liaodong, Jiangnan and Shandong, who were originally silent, submitted a report to the capital one after another, echoing Chen Xie's argument. In the capital, the cabinet, which had been relatively silent, also began to publish some news. For example, the words of Your Majesty are safe, the Ming Dynasty, which had been churning for half a year, suddenly became quiet. Only the fast horses on the post road were running, conveying the news of the coming and going.
In the Forbidden City, Wang Chengen was reading newspapers for Zhu Youjian on the edge of the bed. Zhu Youjian, who was lying on the boat, suddenly burst into tears and said vaguely: "Sihua is back. I have to hold on." After the serious illness, Zhu Youjian, who was diagnosed with little vitality, unexpectedly persisted until now. Didn't he just want to wait until Chen Xie comes back? Many unfinished careers can only be entrusted to Chen Xie to do.
The prince Zhu Cilang, who was kneeling in front of the couch, was also happy when he heard this, but when he looked at his father who was drooling, he wiped it with a veil, and tears couldn't help but fall. Empress Zhou, Concubine Tian and others next to him were also wiping their tears. Even if it was the emperor, he couldn't get up after he got sick, and the whole court was nervous. What he feared most at this time was something happened.
It was also at this time that the advantages of the new cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty were reflected. Even without Zhu Youjian, the cabinet would operate normally. The inner court that held the red power could not delay ordinary things at all, and only major things would be delayed. When Zhu Youjian recovered and could speak, he would report them to him. This is the attitude of Wang Chengen, who was in charge of the seal eunuch. He had only the emperor in his eyes. As long as Zhu Youjian was still breathing, he would not waver.
The problem of the crown prince did not cause much trouble, the key is the issue of the regent minister. The cabinet is actually very good now, but Zhu Youjian still has to insist on waiting for Chen Xie to come back before making a decision. This is an attitude. In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne and Chen Xie will be the chief regent minister. Even if he does not take office in the cabinet, his status will not be lower than that of the chief minister.
Chen Xie rushed to the road very quickly. When he arrived in Tianjin, Wang Ben was waiting for him. After the matter on the grassland was basically stable, the court trained the new army. Wang Ben was transferred back by Zhu Youjian to be responsible for the new army. This action certainly caused dissatisfaction among the nobles, but they had no good solutions and could not cause anything. After Zhu Youjian got sick, all the ghosts and monsters appeared. At the critical moment, the chief assistant of the cabinet Zhou Yanru ordered martial law in the capital and transferred the new army into the capital, and immediately stabilized the situation.
It snowed in the capital last night. When I was waiting for the shore, the white patch of the earth covered a lot of things. The dispatch of troops from Liaodong and Jiangnan had long been spreading into the capital, and Chen Xie's strength was fully exposed at this moment. The people in the cabinet had to admit that Chen Xie was the Dinghai Sword of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he was there, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to get into chaos, whether in the court or in the wild. So, before the people arrived in the capital, the situation was controlled and the hidden undercurrents stopped.
"How is the situation in the capital?" Chen Xie said nothing nonsense and asked when he met. Wang Ben replied concisely: "Everything is as old as before. With you here, you can't get up." Chen Xie nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to Beijing immediately." Under the 500 cavalry guards, Chen Xie and his party immediately set off. This season is uncomfortable on the road, especially those cavalry guards, who were stiffened soon.
But at this critical moment, there was no need to worry about it. Chen Xie rode his horse like a cavalry, rushed to the capital overnight, and arrived at the capital in one breath, and appeared outside Guangqu Gate the next morning. The general responsible for guarding the place was an old general of Dengzhou. When he saw Chen Xie, he said on the top of the city: "Master, you have to wait a little longer. The younger one will send someone to inform me."
Chen Xie smiled and waved his hand and got off the horse. His hands and feet were almost frozen. Everyone was alone and two horses. As soon as many people stopped, they fell off the horse's back and fell strongly. The group quickly helped each other, took out the wine pot and warmed it up. After waiting for less than half an hour, the city gate came to the fire, and Wu Zhi came out from inside, shouting as he walked, "When is my living ancestor? You are still thinking about the access control."
Seeing Chen Xie, Wu Zhi immediately knelt down without saying a word and said, "Master, Your Majesty is looking forward to your return. Hurry up, I have sent someone to report the message. You get in the carriage first and rest for a while." Wu Zhi also brought Chen Xie's carriage. Judging from this, he was waiting nearby for a while. Chen Xie was not pretentious. He got on the carriage and told the people to greet the guards. He followed Wu Zhi to the palace.
As soon as the carriage arrived, the palace gate opened and went straight in. Chen Xie did not dare to go too far. He called for a stop when he entered the door, got out of the car and walked in. After a while, he saw Wang Chengen and went directly to Zhu Youjian's sickbed. Chen Xie did not say anything, kneeled in front of the sickbed, looked at Zhu Youjian who was staring at him, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I am back. What do you want me to do? Just give me the order."
Zhu Youjian said ambiguously, and Wang Chengen immediately said: "Everyone is here, everyone is here, I will call you now."
Seeing Chen Xie and Zhu Youjian, who had returned to the scene, didn't know where he got the strength. He grabbed Chen Xie's hand tightly and said something in ambiguously. Chen Xie listened carefully, probably because he said "All generations are the same", or is this dream without any regrets in advance? Chen Xie immediately said with certainty: "Your Majesty, although I am not as good as Wu Hou, I hope to be Wu Hou of the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian smiled. Although it was not obvious, he was really laughing. Soon Empress Zhou came in, and the cabinet ministers on duty, Zhou Yanru and Hong Chengchou, also came in. They exchanged their eyes quickly. Everyone knew very well that the last moment had come. Looking at Zhu Youjian's hands holding tightly, everyone felt their own feelings.
Wang Chengen said on the side: "My dear masters, I have sent someone to invite His Highness the Crown Prince and other cabinet ministers. Your Majesty's meaning is here today and explain everything clearly." Zhu Youjian said ambiguously, and Wang Chengen immediately said: "Your Majesty asks Mr. Chen, what else should I say."
Chen Xie thought for a while and said, "I can stay in the capital for ten years. No matter what the Ming Dynasty is, I will leave the capital. Whether I am outside or inside, the Ming system will not be in chaos. Only a good system is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for generations. Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist the prince and improve the unfinished things of Your Majesty. In the future, when I go to see Your Majesty a hundred years later, I will be proud to tell Your Majesty that the Taoist system of the Ming Dynasty for generations is the foundation for your Majesty and will continue to improve it."
Chen Xie's words were considered to be in Zhu Youjian's heart. His tight hand was stronger and his breathing became more rapid. He said ambiguously. This time, Chen Xie understood "A king and minister, I will leave first." Even Chen Xie knew that this was the last moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but shed tears. In the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie was the only minister Zhu Youjian had no reservations.
Before leaving, Chen Xie could only endure the bitterness in his heart. Looking at Zhu Youjian's twisted face with white temples, he nodded vigorously and choked and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to build a complete system and leave no effort for the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years."
At this time, Chen Xie didn't say anything false. Zhu Youjian seemed tired. He closed his eyes and didn't say anything. Tears kept overflowing, and he still held Chen Xie's hand tightly. The cabinet ministers arrived one after another, and Zhu Cixuan also arrived, and the person who knelt all over the ground. Wang Chengen then took out an imperial edict and said: "Your Majesty has an imperial edict..." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
