Chapter 1469 Emperor Jiajing dies

In the emperor's bedroom.

Emperor Jiajing was still in a coma, and Huang Jin had a good grasp of Emperor Jiajing's situation. Now Emperor Jiajing can only wake up for about half an hour a day, and he has no idea that so many people are coming to his bedroom.

inside the room.

There was complete silence, except for the voice of Xu Jie writing his will.What Zhang Juzheng brought Yu Wang last time was only a draft, but now it is the real writing.King Yu, Zhang Juzheng, and Huang Jin stood aside and watched.

Soon, Zhang Juzheng finished writing.Then I dried the ink, used the seal, and put it in a box.Handed it to Huang Jin.Then he wrote another decree to release Luo Xin, and then put it in a box, which was put away by Xu Jie.Just waiting for Emperor Jiajing to die, the two exchanged boxes.

After doing all this, the four of them were relatively speechless.After all, this matter is not an aboveboard matter.Xu Jie gave Zhang Juzheng a look, and Zhang Juzheng saluted the three of them, and then took his leave.

Zhang Juzheng walked out of Yuxi Palace, Gao Gong and Ma Fang greeted him and said, "Tai Yue, I wonder why Master Xu called you?"

Zhang Juzheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he replied respectfully:

"His Royal Highness King Yu is in great grief, and his mentor asked the lower officials to spend more time with King Yu. The lower officials will go to Prince Yu's Mansion after finishing their official duties."

"His Majesty……"

"Your Majesty is fine."

Looking at the back of Zhang Juzheng leaving, both Gao Gong and Ma Fang felt uneasy.

Your Majesty all right?

They won't believe it.

About half an hour later, King Yu came out.Gao Gong and Ma Fang rushed to meet him.

"Chen Gaogong has seen His Highness."

"Chen Ma Fang has seen His Highness."

King Yu said with a sad face: "I feel a little uncomfortable alone, and the state affairs have troubled the two adults."

"Your Highness, don't worry! The ministers will do their best!"

King Yu waved his hand and left with a sad face.

Gao Gong and Ma Fang looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Your Majesty is going to die!

Three days later.

On July 45th, Jiajing [-], Emperor Jiajing passed away at the age of [-], and the Jingyang bell rang!
late at night.

Qianqing Palace.

After the death of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing's body was still transported back to the Qianqing Palace, and the entire Qianqing Palace was full of spirit banners.

Under the upright and bright plaque in the main hall, everything turned into white, white screens, white curtains, white filial piety, and a sound of crying echoed in the main hall. , Yu Wang Zhu Zaihou knelt beside the coffin, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was a little absent-minded, looking at the grief-stricken faces around him, but there was no sadness in his heart.He knew that he should cry at this time, but he couldn't cry no matter what. Instead, he felt relaxed like never before, as if the mountain that had been pressing on him all the time suddenly disappeared, and his whole body was as relaxed as if he was about to become a fairy. generally.

His eyes fell on the remains of Emperor Jiajing inside the coffin. This face was both familiar and unfamiliar. It was familiar because it was his father, and strange because he didn't even remember when he saw Emperor Jiajing last time. up.

Oh……

Except for going to the bedroom three days ago!

Recalling that every time I saw Emperor Jiajing, there was no warmth between father and son in my heart, only the fear of my father, and I didn't even dare to look at Emperor Jiajing.

but……

Now you can look at it, look at it casually, no matter how you look at it, Emperor Jiajing has a dead face.

Looking at this face, King Yu recalled his first half of life, it was so miserable!I have never seen a smile on my father's face, and all I got was a reprimand.

Especially when the two dragons did not meet each other, King Yu walked on thin ice every day, fearing that his father would kill him one day.

Thinking of this, and thinking that I have finally made it through, for a moment, grief came from my heart, and with a groan, I cried so hard!
Hearing King Yu's cry, everyone in the hall must cry, no matter if they are sincere or not, and they must cry with all their strength.In an instant, ghosts and wolves were howling in the hall.

Xu Jie, who was kneeling beside King Yu, cried and hissed, "My Highness mourns..."

Heaven Prison.

Huang Jin walked in, and the footsteps woke up the nine people who were in a daze.After seeing clearly that it was Huang Jin, Hai Rui and the others snorted disdainfully and closed their eyes.Huang Jin didn't bother to pay attention to them, and went straight to the innermost cell where Luo Xin was. The jailer hurriedly opened the door lock, Huang Jin took out the imperial decree and said:
"Luo Xin accepts the order!"

Inside the palace.

Everyone was finally tired from crying, and King Yu also recovered from his grief for himself.Xu Jie said:

"Your Highness, now we need to decide on His Majesty's temple name."

King Yu nodded, but said nothing.He believed that Xu Jie understood what he meant, and sure enough, Xu Jie said:

"Locate Sejong."

King Yu said blankly, "Yes!"

Seeing Yu Wang's dull expression, Xu Jie sighed in his heart, how could he not understand Yu Wang?

Even if he didn't understand, after having the will, he also knew that King Yu had a deep resentment towards Emperor Jiajing.What's more, Xu Jie has already seen through King Yu.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I still have to follow King Yu a little bit now, and before he could take King Yu off, he said:

"How about setting the posthumous title as Ping? Emperor Sejong Ping."

Yu Wang's numb expression finally eased, he nodded and said: "Yes!"

Everyone nodded when they saw King Yu. At this time, who would touch the new emperor?Everyone nodded in agreement.But Gao Gong felt that this was a bit too much, so he said in a concentrated voice:
"Your Highness, this will make people laugh."

King Yu raised his eyelids to look at Gao Gong, and said dumbly, "Then you decide on one."

Gao Gong's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was dissatisfied by King Yu.But he has spoken.He had to decide on one, he now understood King Yu's thoughts, he just didn't want Emperor Jiajing to have a good posthumous title, he thought for a moment and said:
"Then Emperor Sejongsu?"

"Yes!" Although Yu Wang was not satisfied, he felt that Gao Gong was quite sensible.Then nodded.

Gao Gong cheered up and said, "Then it's time to draft a will!"

King Yu glanced at Xu Jie indifferently, and saw Xu Jie take out a box from his sleeve and said:

"There is already a will!"

Then he handed both hands to King Yu and said, "Emperor Daxing's edict can be read here tomorrow."

The eunuch took the wooden box and handed it to King Yu. The eyes of Gao Gong, Ma Fang and others followed the wooden box, and their hearts were full of doubts. How could they not know when the last edict appeared?
Unexpectedly, King Yu just glanced briefly, then put it back into the box and put it away.He nodded towards Xu Jie.

Everyone was at a loss, and after just a few glances, they settled down. What does this mean?
Could it be that this is really a will written by Emperor Jiajing himself?
But Xu Jie didn't give them a chance to ask each other, and immediately said to King Yu: "Your Highness, there is less than half an hour before it's time to read out the will. Your Highness, go back and rest for a while. There are still many ceremonies waiting for you tomorrow. "
