Chapter 1              The hearts of old officials in China

Nanjing.

Compared to the dust in Beijing, the dust is generally strong in the north, while the other half is various projects in Beijing, which is even more dusty.

However, large-scale urban buildings in Nanjing were rarely seen after Hongwu Jianwen.

The only time when he built a large-scale building was during Hong Xi's time, Emperor Renzong wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, so that the then crown prince, later Emperor Xuanzong, would come to inspect the Nanjing palace.

We are ready to renovate the Nanjing palace on a large scale.

However, this situation ended with the death of Emperor Renzong.

From then on, Nanjing officials have never made any major construction projects, coupled with the misty and rainy weather in Jiangnan.

It makes Nanjing more elegant and luxurious.

But at this moment, countless people were in a hurry and unstable way at the mansion of Huang Fu, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing.

Because this person who has experienced Taizu, Jianwen, Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, today, the veteran of the Six Dynasties, the Young Guardian of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, the left-behind Nanjing, and the counselor of the machinery officer Huang Fu. He has reached the end of his life.

Huang Fu was a student of the Ethereum who entered politics. He started as the chief clerk of Xiangcheng County. Later, he was appreciated by Emperor Taizu and became the Minister of Works. Later, he became Emperor Jianwen.

Become a minister of Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Taizong listed the list of Emperor Qing, and Huang Fu was listed.

After Emperor Taizong conquered Nanjing, some people accused Huang Fu of being a traitor. Huang Fu responded: "I deserve to die, but I died in the name of a traitor. I will not accept it until I die."

Emperor Taizong forgives him.

Later, when the war in Annan began, Huang Fu was the governor of Annan and the envoy of the punishment. In the 19th year of pacifying Annan, there was nothing wrong with Annan. Later, Huang Fu was transferred away, and the war in Annan was out of control.

During the Xuande period, Huang Fu was transferred to Annan again, but the situation was over, and Huang Fu was captured by the Annan people.

However, the people of Annan dared not be rude to Huang Fu and sent Huang Fu back. After that, they were already guarding Nanjing.

It seems to be invisible in politics.

But no one can deny Huang Fu's status in Nanjing.

With Huang Fu here, the Empress Dowager will be relieved of Nanjing.

But time has driven people to grow old. Huang Fu is now eighty years old. After the beginning of winter, his body is depressed. He has also seen famous doctors in Nanjing.

Say to prepare for funeral.

But just after the Chinese New Year, Huang Fu's spirit suddenly improved.

The children and grandchildren below were even more sad, and they all knew that they were looking back.

Huang Fu leaned against the bedding and asked his son, saying, "Is there anything important to the court?"

Huang Fu's son immediately took out Zhengdanzhao. Knowing that Huang Fu's eyes were dizzy, he immediately read Zhengdanzhao all the way.

The more Huang Fu listened, the more energetic he became. He said, "Okay."

Huang Fu did not say how good the content on the Zhengdan imperial edict was. What he cared about was that such an important edict came from the emperor.

Not the Empress Dowager, not Yang Shiqi.

This shows that from the tenth year of Xuande to the present, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has finally been in office for six years.

If the name is not correct, the words will be unpleasant.

No matter how good the Empress Dowager is, she is not the emperor.

Especially the Empress Dowager Tai is getting older and older, and the emperor is getting older. Huang Fuyuan is in Nanjing and has heard of the emperor's reputation for being smart. What he is most worried about is what conflicts broke out between the Empress Dowager Taichung and the emperor.

At that time, it will be a great misfortune of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the circulating outside of the empress dowager's return to power, Huang Fu only believed half of it.

As a veteran in politics, he knows it very well.

Before the dust settles, anything can happen. There is no way to go back on one's word. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty can change one, let alone this.

However, when power transfer is the most dangerous and variables.

It is also what Huang Fu is most worried about.

It should be noted that during the period when Cixi was under house arrest in Guangxu, the relationship between them seemed to be a kind mother and a filial son. It was just that overnight, the world suddenly changed.

Although Huang Fu did not know Cixi's actions, these techniques were never new in politics.

Huang Fu was just worried that such a thing would happen.

But at this moment, he saw from the Zhengdan imperial edict that Zhu Qizhen unified the opinions of the governor's office of the six ministries and five armies of the cabinet. Because it did not unify everyone's opinions, this edict could not be issued at the critical moment of Zhengdan.

Such an emperor can no longer be said to have no real power.

Not to mention anything else, even Yang Shiqi in the cabinet would not want the Empress Dowager to change to another emperor.

Zhu Qizhen’s position is something that everyone cannot shake, including the Empress Dowager.

For Huang Fu, this is great news.

Huang Fu came up happily and coughed several times. Then he couldn't breathe. The children and grandchildren around him were shocked and immediately asked the doctor to come over.

But when the doctor came in, he had acupuncture and massage, he was unable to make up for the truth.

After a while, the doctor said, "My elder, the oil is gone, and the young ones really have no choice."

However, after a while, the mourning sound came from Huang Fu Mansion and then spread throughout Nanjing City. A fast horse immediately reported the news to Beijing.

However, Huang Fujiu has been in Nanjing for a long time, and the people of Nanjing have also given funerals to Huang Fu. For a moment, the city of Nanjing spontaneously fell into a white patch.

But I never expected that news would be heard from Hangzhou soon.

Yang Rong died of illness at the Hangzhou Inn.

Three Yang Bingzheng has been in power for several years and is an iron triangle that can stabilize people's hearts, but he doesn't expect that Yang Rong will never go back when he comes home to visit relatives. Yang Rong's death is even more shocking than Huang Fu's death.

After all, although Huang Fu guarded Nanjing, he was in a semi-retreatment after all.

But Yang Rong is different.

Once Yang Rong died, there were a large number of backbone forces in the factions behind him. For example, Wang Ji, who was leading troops outside, and even many officials of the Ministry of War, would fall into a state of confusion.

This is the major earthquake in the political arena.

to be honest.

Yang Rong's death still has something to do with Zhu Qizhen.

In history, Yang Shiqi first returned to his hometown to show his tomb. Then there was Yang Rong. Yang Rong was also seriously ill and died on his way back. But that was already the second half of the year.

This time, Yang Rong left the capital, and most of the unwilling elements were involved.

Yang Rong treated Xuanzong and his father and son in this way, and he had all his strength. The matter of King Xiang Jincai was also Yang Rong was the psychological preparation for the charge and even made the empress dowager to express his opinion in court.

Yang Rong also felt that after the emperor took power, he would definitely be able to surpass Yang Shiqi to become his current confidant, just like when Emperor Xuanzong was there.

Although Yang Shiqi is the chief minister, Xuanzong's confidant is Yang Rong. Many things that cannot be put on the table are discussed with Yang Rong, such as the matter of abolishing the queen.

It was just that the emperor's actions disappointed him too much.

The emperor almost destroyed his actions of suppressing nobles for more than ten years.

How can Yang Rong get through it?

Yang Rong is already an old man in his seventies. Although he is a few years younger than Huang Fu, he is older and his physical condition is often related to his mood.

If Yang Rong is in a good mood and has enough energy, and there will be no problem with supporting him for another few months.

But Yang Rongcheng was hit like this. How could he get better? In addition, after traveling a long distance, he found that people of the same generation as him were almost gone.

My mood is inevitably affected. On the way back, I was already sick before I arrived in Hangzhou.

It was just that he was not seriously ill, and the doctors in ordinary places were not good, so the Jinyiwei escorted him risked sending Yang Rong to Hangzhou and asked a famous doctor in Hangzhou City for consultation.

Just like Huang Fu.

When you are old and lack vitality, you cannot use the medicine for tigers and wolves, but the medicinal power is alleviated, but the disease cannot be cured. Moreover, for the elderly, sometimes the disease comes very quickly and violently.

Yang Rong didn't even leave any last words.

On the third day of staying at the Hangzhou Inn, I drove to the west.

He is just a matter of being together. He is really a companion on the road to the underworld.

However, this news will take some time to reach the capital. In a sense, it is also a special fate.

After a difficult journey, Meng Ying finally arrived in Kunming.

Mu Ang was already anxious to wait in Kunming.

As soon as Meng Ying arrived, Mu Ang brought civil and military officials all over the city to welcome Meng Ying. Mu Ang could no longer bear Sirenfa. He wanted to take revenge every moment.

But what he thought might not be what Meng Ying thought.
