Chapter 847 Edict

Zhang Yong may be afraid of hard work along the way, or maybe for other reasons, he choked and cried, and his face was full of tears, which made a mess.

Song Nan frowned and comforted a few words and asked a few more sentences. Zhang Yong was busy crying and did not answer. Song Nan finally couldn't help shouting, "Why are you crying endlessly? Hurry up, what's wrong with the emperor?

Zhang Yong recognized the anger in Song Nan's words, quickly shouted his face with his sleeves and said angrily, "Grandfather, the emperor hasn't been funeral yet."

Song Nan's heart was relieved and frowned, "Then what made people panic?"

Zhang Yong said, "Although the emperor is still alive, I'm afraid he can't survive these days. More than ten days ago, the emperor couldn't get out of bed at all. He was very thin and coughed blood all day and all night. When our family left Beijing, the emperor could not enter and could not say anything. Our family saw... It couldn't last for a few days.

Song Nan's heart tightened and suddenly remembered that when Dr. Li diagnosed Zhengde, he predicted that Zhengde would only have 30 or 40 days to live. Song Nan didn't calculate this matter, but just calculated the date. The diagnosis in the first month was the first month of February, which was the deadline for Dr. Li, but all this did not happen, so he regarded Dr. Li's words as a joke in his heart.

The medical skills these days are not good. Although Dr. Li has some skills, he can determine the limit of people's life and death by simple hearing and asking questions. Naturally, Song Nan does not believe his words. If Song Nan firmly believes in Dr. Li's words, he will not lead the army on the occasion of Zhengde's funeral, which is a stupid move.

But now it seems that Dr. Li's judgment is just a mistake for half a month. Obviously, this is not a big mistake. After all, Zhengde is the emperor, the palace's precious medicine, and the supply of tonics is never uninterrupted. It is also possible to continue the survival time with these elixirs. If it is ordinary people, I'm afraid it is It just echoed the judgment of Dr. Li.

"Why did you come to report this news? Or does the emperor want you to invite me back to Beijing as soon as possible?

"We guess that the emperor must have wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but the emperor's condition is too serious and it is difficult to breathe. I'm afraid he can't express this meaning. Every time our family is allowed to see the emperor, the emperor seems to have a will to announce, but the time is too short and there are many people. I'm afraid the emperor can't say it. Until recent days, the condition has become more and more serious, which is even more impossible.

Song Nan frowned and said, "I'm confused by what you said. What does it mean that you are allowed to see the emperor? The emperor is seriously ill. Aren't you serving the emperor every day?

Zhang Yongchang sighed and said, "Lord Song, you don't know that since the emperor's condition worsened, the empress dowager ordered the emperor to move the palace to rest and be taken care of by the eunuch beside the empress dowager. Our family wants to see the emperor but ask for the empress dowager's approval. The Empress Dowager said that the emperor needs to rest and not speak, so that we should not disturb him more. Before leaving Beijing, our family could only see the emperor once in two days. When we met, the chamberlain in the empress palace was there, and the time was also limited. Basically, we kowtowed to say hello and were kicked out. Now there is no one familiar with the emperor.

Song Nan frowned into a pimple and asked for a moment, "You came to find me to report this matter? I'll go back to Beijing in a few days. You don't have to come so far.

Zhang Yong looked around and whispered, "Of course, it's not just to report this matter. Our family has bigger things to say. To be honest, our family is at the risk of killing our head when leaving Beijing this time. The Empress Dowager strictly prohibits us from spreading the news of the emperor's critical condition; Jinyiwei General Han's camp was transferred to guard the West Garden, and the guards in the palace were all changed. Before you go on the expedition, you told our family to keep an eye on all the changes in the palace. We would like to follow your instructions and secretly inquire. It doesn't matter if you don't inquire about it. As soon as you inquired, the news we got almost scared our family to death. Therefore, our family risked death and contacted the British father-in-law. After listening to our family's words, the British father-in-law immediately arranged a guard and secretly sent our family out of the city, and asked our family to report to you quickly. Well, our family rushed all the way to Anqingfu. There are many people here. Although they are all subordinates of the Duke of the State, this matter is too big. Our family suggests to take a step to speak, and it is better for us and the Duke of Zhen to be present.

Song Nan became more and more surprised. At this time, she pulled Zhang Yong to the back room and ordered her to guard the surroundings closely. Then she asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Zhang Yong lifted the corner of his clothes, bit the tightly sewn feet of the corners of his clothes with his teeth, loosened it, took out a wrinkled and sweaty envelope and handed it to him with both hands. Song Nan took it suspiciously, opened the envelope and took out a piece of white paper and slowly unfolded it under the lamp. The words on it were crooked and scribbled. Obviously, it was written in a hurry, but But it can be clearly identified, but it is written on white paper.

"I am sick, and the heir has not been built. I am the eldest son of the king. I have grown up, wise, benevolent and filial, and stand in order, and have respected the teachings of my ancestors. The brother's final brother's message told Yuzong Temple that he invited the Empress Dowager to send officials to Beijing on the same day and take the throne. Fenglizong Temple, reigns over the world.

Song Nan stood up and shouted harshly, "What is this?"

Zhang Yong said slowly, "Can't you see it? This is the emperor's edict.

Song Nan's heart fluttered, and his voice trembled a little. He asked, "Is this the edict drawn up by the emperor himself?"

Zhang Yong said, "We don't know that the Duke of Zhen should know better than us whether this edict means to the emperor."

Song Nan bit her lower lip and said slowly, "How did you get this edict?"

Zhang Yong said, "Our family just said that we risked to leave Beijing because we learned about this. The emperor's edict must be issued by the Si Lijian Gai Yuxi. Our family is still the seal of Si Lijian. On February 23, after our family went to the Yangxin Hall to see the emperor, the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned me to pull a few words and returned to the Si Lijian's government. The family found that the iron cabinet where Si Lijian stored the jade seal seemed to have been opened. I immediately opened the cabinet and checked it. Sure enough, I found that someone had stolen the jade seal.

Song Nan was shocked, "How can you conclude?"

Zhang Yong said, "Although our family is not a fine person, after using the seal, our family wiped it clean and wrapped it in a yellow cloth and stored it in the dark compartment of the iron cabinet. The people of the ceremony supervisor knew where the jade seal was hidden, but firstly, only I had the key, and secondly, no one dared to touch the iron cabinet where the jade seal was stored, but never found it. It's abnormal."

Song Nan said, "Is there anyone who didn't wipe the red mud on it after stealing the jade seal?"

Zhang Yong said: "On the contrary, the jade seal is very clean, as if it had never been used. Unfortunately, the person who stole it didn't know my little secret. I put an inconspicuous yellow duck down hair outside the cloth bag wrapped in the jade seal, which is similar to the color of the yellow cloth package. If you don't deliberately, you can't see it at all. But if someone has moved the jade seal package, the duck down will definitely fall off. When I checked, the duck feather had fallen on the block of the cabinet, so I concluded that someone must have stolen the jade seal.

Song Nan nodded and said, "Vin very good, you are thoughtful enough. But you will investigate this matter secretly, right?

Zhang Yong said, "Exactly, our family knows that something is wrong. Who dares to steal the jade seal without the hand of the ceremonial supervisor? This is a great crime; except the emperor, no one has this right. But if the emperor wants to use the seal, why should he do so? Our family did not dare to publicize, so we secretly investigated and found that the two internal affairs supervisors who were on duty in the seal room on that day were all called out for a drink by two father-in-law in the empress palace at the time of the incident. Although it was only a short meal, it was enough to complete the matter of stealing the jade seal.

Song Nan suddenly waved his hand and said, "Stop, I'll sort out my mind. After you saw the emperor, the Empress Dowager left you for a family meeting? What did you say?

Zhang Yong said, "I don't know why the empress dowager left me to speak. The empress dowager has never done this before, and she also asked about her family's family's health and parents outside the palace."

Song Nan nodded and said, "After that, the two eunuchs in the seal room were dragged to drink by the well-in-law in the empress palace? And the act of stealing the seal is what happened here? Doesn't it mean that the person who stole the jade seal is... her instructions?

Zhang Yong stared and nodded slowly and said, "The Duke has a clear mind. I'm afraid that's right."

Song Nan said, "How did you get this edict?" I don't think the Empress Dowager will give you a chance to see this edict.

Zhang Yong slowly took out a white cloth from his arms and slowly unfolded it in front of Song Nan. He pointed to the handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers and said, "It was the owner of this thing that helped our family. We knew that someone secretly covered the jade seal and judged that it was done by the Empress Dowager. The emperor's disease was extremely heavy. The palace guards were replaced, and the atmosphere was obvious. Strangely, no matter how stupid it is, it will feel that something big is wrong. Our family doesn't like to listen to the private affairs of the prince, but the relationship between the prince and the princess... That was so good that our family gritted its teeth and took the risk to find the princess, point out the matter to her, and asked her to help figure out what the content of the edict that stole the jade seal was. So the next evening, the princess handed me this handwritten edict. This is the origin of this edict.

Song Nan's cold sweat oozed all over. What Zhang Yong said was already thrilling. I'm afraid it would be more dangerous when doing these things. It's okay for Zhang Yong to risk everything this time. Kang Ning went to the empress dowager's palace without hesitation to get a copy of this edict, which was afraid it would be more sinister. Once she was found, I'm afraid that the empress dowager would have her My own daughter will not be spared.

Looking at the black words on the white paper in front of her, Song Nan's indescribable feelings. She fought to death in the foreign war, but the court had already made an extraordinary move without telling her. Judging from Zhu Houxuan, the new emperor's candidate drawn up in this edict, this is the candidate Yang Tinghe has been trying to recommend. Song Nan dares to be 100% sure that this It is absolutely related to Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tin and the lurking old fox, finally began to show his fangs.
