Chapter 784 Mr. Yangming

Zhengde's eight-year New Year is lively on the surface. According to reason, this New Year is the most comfortable New Year in the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is not the case. Although external troubles will focus on consolidating the operation in the future after recapture of the river, it is nothing more than the problem of throwing money in, but the internal worries in the court are not as much as fighting against the Taratios. The simplicity.

To solve external problems, you can use force to fight against the enemy. With the military strength of Daming, even if it cannot be eradicated for a while, there will never be a big mistake. However, the internal worries of the court are ten thousand times more complicated than the exception, and a little carelessness is even more dangerous than the invasion of the Taran.

In all dynasties, the struggle for imperial power has often led to a huge civil unrest. In a small way, internal fighting in the palace and large, the formation of troops against each other often lead to the division of the country and the people. The Ming Dynasty has now weakened its national strength and urgently needs to rest and recuperate. If there is another civil war, the situation will become rotten, like a dying patient, giving him another stick, and there is basically no hope of living.

Of course, Song Nan can't let things develop in an uncontrollable direction. Originally, Song Nan still had expectations for Zhengde's illness and thought that things would not be so bad, but Dr. Li's words were vivid in his ears. If Zhengde only had more than a month's life, he should also think about where to go.

Song Nan knows very well that once Zhengde dies, the new emperor will ascend the throne, and the pattern in the dynasty will turn upside down. The situation when Zhengde ascended the throne is still fresh in my memory. From the inner court to the outer court, there was almost a big change of blood, which is the truth of a emperor and a courtier. Yang Tinghe and others tried their best to recommend a candidate for a heir, which is to obtain political capital for the future. It can be imagine that if Yang Tinghe and Zhu Houxi, who was recommended, become the future emperor, may only Yang Ting and one party in the court in the future.

And I have been clinging to the brocade guard government office. Once the universe changes, it is bound to let go. The brocade guard office, which has been painstakingly managed for several years, will also be replaced by the new emperor. Although I am already a duchy and my status is respected, I will definitely become a person who stands aside. I'm afraid it is difficult to talk about the affairs in the court. Half a sentence. Unless there is a war, no one will respect their opinions. If they are accidentally impeached, they may even be taken away from their officials. In short, they will be mermaids.

Whether from the national or personal point of view, Song Nan can't let this situation continue. Song Nan has decided to stabilize the situation before Zhengde's death, which will not allow Yang Ting and Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who has a heart to gain political capital and suppress himself in the future, will not be able to win. Compared with the former, Zhu Chenhao made Song Nan feel more terrible. Once his son becomes the new emperor, Zhu Chenhao will dominate the power and become the unreliable emperor. How dangerous it is.

So Song Nan decided to break Zhu Chenhao's beautiful dream first and make what he sought become a bubble. Therefore, when she learned that Zhengde had inclined to agree with the Empress Dowager's intention, she ignored those words together. To be honest, most of those things were rumors. Song Nan did not have real evidence, but Song Nan needed to take power urgently. There is no need to care much about Zhengde's permission to investigate this matter legally.

In the New Year, when every family put down all the worries of the year and enjoy the rare happy reunion, Song Nan did not have this blessing. On the first morning of the Chinese New Year, several chief officials of Jinyiwei arrived one after another, and Song Nan slowly drank a cup of hot tea waiting for them.

There is no warm atmosphere of the New Year and no enthusiasm to congratulate each other. As soon as everyone entered the lobby of the government, they felt the awe of the Song people, and the prepared jokes and greetings swallowed their stomachs.

Those who can be called by Song Nan are absolute confidants. The two heads of Jinyiwei's North and South Zhenfu Division, General Han led Wan Zhijinyiwei's own army to command Wang Yong, and the other is Li Da Niu. In addition to these five people, even Huang Huihou Dabiao and others were not invited to come. Everyone clearly felt that the adults had extremely secret things to announce.

"Gentlemen, during the Spring Festival, I can't stand the time when you are reunited with your family, but there is nothing we can do. We are all erres, and we are always involuntarily. Sit down and drink some tea. I have something important to tell you. Song Nan said slowly.

Sun Xuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, why are you polite? For so many years, everyone has been used to it. How can we have any festivals? If you are the Duke of the country, don't you have to work hard as much as us during the Spring Festival?"

Hou Dabiao said, "Yes, why do you have to be polite to your subordinates? If there is nothing extremely important, you will not call me to come in person. Let's make it clear."

Song Nan nodded and said, "Okay. In this case, I won't beat around the bush. There is indeed one thing to tell you. Before saying this, I warn you that this matter can only be kept in mind and never reveal half a word. In addition, you should also choose the most loyal and reliable person to deal with today's explanation. If the news is leaked, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Everyone looked awe-in, sat up straight and pricked up their ears, fearing that half a word would be missing.

"You all know the news of the emperor's illness. The emperor's illness is very serious. Yesterday, I took Dr. Li of the British government to make a diagnosis. Dr. Li personally told me that the emperor may not survive this spring." Song Nan's voice sounded low.

Everyone took a deep breath, which means that the emperor is about to die? The news was not explosive, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

"You all know that the emperor is good to me. The emperor's condition is so serious, but there is nothing I can do, and I feel very sad. But there is always a death. Even if it is the emperor, there is nothing he can do. The question now is that if Dr. Li's diagnosis is correct, the emperor's illness will really not be healed. What will be the pattern of the dynasty? Or to make it smaller, what will happen to the future of my brocade guard? It must not be difficult to figure this out.

Everyone stood quietly, but there was a storm in their hearts. Lord Song was the emperor's favorite minister. Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, Lord Song has been in charge of the brocade guard government. Although there have been many twists and turns, this position representing the emperor's trust has never changed hands. Once the emperor dies, the new emperor will certainly not let Lord Song still sit in this position. If a newcomer comes to be the commander, I'm afraid that those who were pulled up by Song Nan will also move their seats. If you are lucky enough to live in an idle job for retirement, if you are unlucky, if you are deliberately provoking and impeached, you can't even keep the official title, and you may be dismissed and go to prison.

"Your Excellency, everything I wait for is a trivial matter. Adults's affairs are the most important thing. Forgive me for being brave. If the new emperor changes, the status of adults in the court may be affected, which is what we need to worry about." Sun Xuan said in a low voice.

Everyone suddenly woke up and worried about what's the use of themselves. What they have to worry about now is the status of Lord Song. As long as Lord Song does not fall down, the people around him will be fine. As long as the big tree above the head is still there, there will be a place to shelter from the wind and rain and the sun.

"Sun Zhenfu said that the adult is a meritorious official of the imperial court. Even if the emperor dies and the new emperor ascends to the throne, the adult's status may be firmly unshakable." Hou Dabiao said.

Song Nan laughed and said, "There is nothing in the world that is unbreakable. I do have some credit, but to put it bluntly, I am a meritorious official of the Zhengde Dynasty. If I change to a new emperor, I have no credit to him. Those who have made contributions to him are those who pushed him to the throne and take charge of the Ming Dynasty. Don't hold this illusion.

Sun Xuan frowned and whispered, "What's your plan? Just order it down. Since the situation is in such a crisis, we can't sit down and do something."

Song Nan nodded and said, "That's why I called you here today. Last night, I went to the British government to discuss with the British government for a night. I unanimously decided that we should not let these people mess around for their own interests. Now Yang Tinhe, the cabinet, has launched the candidate of Zhu Houxuan, the son of King Xingxian, as the emperor's younger brother. The empress dowager has also launched the opinion that the son of King Ning will succeed him as the prince. All parties are actively fighting for political capital for themselves and saying unpleasant words. They are all waiting for the day when the emperor dies. No matter who succeeds, we will have a hard time to come. In view of this, we must respond.

It was the first time that everyone heard such a secret, and they were stunned. It turned out that the competition for the new emperor had begun. The seemingly calm court had already been surging, and everyone was planning for the future.

"You all know what kind of person King Ning is. He and I have already had a face-to-face relationship. I, Jinyiwei, have also mastered some of his unspeakable things. If his son becomes the new emperor, he will be the first to take me. Therefore, I can't let him succeed. I can't let him master Daming Society in public and private. I have reported to the emperor that he has allowed us to start a comprehensive investigation of what King Ning has done in Nanchang over the years. This time you have to send elite soldiers and strong generals to find out the matter received about King Ning in the previous government office.

Everyone arched their hands and said, "Follow your orders."

Song Nan said, "You can agree on the specific division of labor by yourself. Time is tight. You must find out the fact that you must report it within ten days. If you can't find something useful on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor will not be able to change his mind, and he will announce the candidate of the heir in the early morning. Be careful when you act, both to find out, but don't leave a handle. If necessary... you can deal with it decisively if necessary.

"I understand." Everyone knows what the result means. It's nothing more than killing. They don't need to be soft, just seek the purpose and do whatever they can.

"Sun Zhenfu, I want to see someone. You can arrange it."

Sun Xuan's brain was extremely fast and whispered, "Is the person you want to see Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangxi?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "It's him. Didn't you say that he knew a lot of secrets last time? When we Jinyiwei secretly investigated King Ning, he was also investigating. He was in Jiangxi, maybe more than we know, but he didn't dare to say it. I want to see him. You can invite him in person.

Sun Xuan said, "You don't need to go to Jiangxi. Wang Shouren's family is in the capital. Compared with people, they are also in the capital. Just ask for his address."

Song Nan smiled and said, "That's even better. This man is stubborn. If he is in Jiangxi, maybe he doesn't want to come to the capital to see me at all."
