I

……

Yingmin Hall.

Everyone was uneasy, and faintly felt that something big had happened.

Zhao Hanwo sat on the golden throne, and said as cleanly as possible: "Chen Maosheng, you are going to write the trick!"

Chen Maosheng is over 70 years old and currently serves as the chief assistant.

When the emperor passed away, he should resign, at most one more year as a buffer.

Zhang Tieniu was bedridden at home at this time. He had been injured too much when he was young, and he was sick all over when he was old. He hadn't gone out for several years.

Fei Ruhe was quite healthy, standing in the hall, sighing secretly and shaking his head.

Fei Chun and Liu Ziren have passed away, the former at 68 years old and the latter at 62 years old.They are all crowned county kings, and titles cannot be hereditary.

"Announce to the world: After my death, my body and clothes will be burned to ashes like folk cremation."

Chen Maosheng shook his right hand, and the ink stained the paper.

"The ashes were divided into twelve parts, one was buried in Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, one was buried in Luzhou in the far north, one was buried in Ezo Island, one was buried in Tanzhou (Hawaii), and one was buried in Pangeng City ( San Francisco), one in Luzon, one in Java, one in Malacca, one in Tibet, one in Dawan, one in Yibohai (Lake Balkhash), one It was buried in Tuomi Mansion (Tomsk)."

"All the ashes are buried, no mausoleum is built. To prevent trespassers from digging, the ashes and soil are scattered in the cemetery, which can be nourishment for pines and cypresses. The land that is not suitable for planting pines and cypresses can be planted with other trees. Every cemetery is open to all people. , Do not stop folks from offering sacrifices."

"The 40th year of the Republic of China's edition of "Datong Collection" contains no words. It is engraved on stone tablets and stands in various cemeteries... If the new emperor does not obey, he will be a traitor and traitor, and everyone will be punished!"

All the ministers were speechless, because the imperial mausoleum had not been repaired, they had already guessed that the emperor would mess up.

After the recruitment is completed, it will be transcribed again and handed over to Zhao Han for review.

Zhao Han glanced over and said, "Use the seal."

The great seal of the emperor is affixed, and the great seal of the cabinet is also affixed.When the people from Zhongshushe were called, they immediately copied dozens of copies, sent them to the provinces through the postal system, and then copied them from the provincial government to the prefectures and counties, and posted them in yamen, docks, ferries, schools, downtown and other places.

Next, Zhao Han said to the ministers: "The top five cabinet ministers, you are all old. After the new emperor succeeds, you should all retire. Once the emperor and the courtiers, don't wait for me to rise again after my death." Conflicts, and in the end, they broke up in a bad mood and went down."

"According to the order!"

Chen Maosheng, Xu Ying, Wang Diaoding, Xiao Huan, and Ouyang Zheng, five people came out to take the order. They were all veterans in their 70s, and the last three were even over 80 years old.

The new monarch has a new atmosphere, and the old minister should really go. No matter what his original intentions are, he will inevitably be dull in doing things.

Zhao Han said again: "Yang An."

"The minister is here!" The cabinet minister Yang An came out.

Yang An was the man who was born as a domestic slave and became the chief minister at the age of 30 based on his political achievements.

Zhao Han said: "The five of them have retired, so you will naturally become the first assistant. But you have a straight personality, and there are too many enemies in the court. You can continue to be the first assistant, or choose to return to your hometown, you can decide for yourself .If you stay in the court and try to control your temper, the new king may not be able to bear you for too long."

"My son has absolutely no such intentions!" Zhao Kuanghuan hastily expressed his opinion.

Yang An wanted to speak, but his throat was choked up, and he burst into tears suddenly.He was born as a domestic slave, climbed up by his political achievements, and often lost his temper in front of the emperor.

Now that the emperor was leaving, Yang An looked dazed, suddenly unable to find the meaning of life.

Fight with a group of young officials (five to 60 years old)?

Yang An whimpered and said, "My minister, please resign and return to your hometown."

Zhao Han nodded: "Alright."

"Woooooooooooo~~~~"

Zhao Kuanghuan was crying suddenly, at first he sobbed softly, and then wept loudly.

He has complex feelings for his father, who worships, complains, and fears.At this moment, his father was dying of illness, and he was still sweeping the court for him, Zhao Kuanghuan finally couldn't hold back his emotions.

When the prince cried, the clan and officials also cried.

Some people cry from the bottom of their hearts, others cry from hypocrisy.

Zhao Han said to Fei Ruhe again: "Brother He, you should also become an official. Don't cause trouble for the younger generation. The prince has his own pocket. You uncle, don't annoy your nephew."

Fei Ruhe also stopped addressing His Majesty, and said tearfully, "I listened to Brother Han."

He also called a few people, and Zhao Han arranged them one by one.Guessing that the official who delivered the imperial decree had already left Nanjing, Zhao Han ordered, "Bring me my imperial pistol."

The female officer and the guard hurried to get it, and after about 10 minutes, they held it in both hands and handed it to the emperor.

Zhao Han reluctantly raised his hands to reload the imperial pistol, and after a long time of tossing, he finally reloaded it.

Suddenly, Zhao Han had a bad taste, and pointed his gun at the cabinet ministers, and the faces of the ministers instantly became terrified.

"Haha, it's just a joke."

Zhao Han chuckled, turned his gun abruptly, and stuffed the barrel into his mouth.

"Father!" Zhao Kuanghuan rushed to grab the gun.

"His Majesty!"

The clan and officials also rushed over.

Zhao Han pulled the trigger, but found that he couldn't use his fingers. He didn't even have the strength to shoot himself.

The pistol was snatched away by the crown prince, and all the officials broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Han smiled wryly: "Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to ask you for poison. You can die as you want, and it's difficult to end the pain early. I plan to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, and I will no longer interfere with government affairs in the future."

Zhao Kuanghuan was a little dazed when he heard this. He was already 51 years old, and he had long been looking forward to becoming emperor, and sometimes even wondered when his father would die.

Now that he was finally going to be emperor, Zhao Kuanghuan was not excited, but felt all kinds of grief and melancholy.

Half a month later, Zhao Han abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.

At Zhao Kuanghuan's age, he no longer has any ambitions. He thinks that his father's policy is very good, and Xiao Guicao can continue to use it. There is no need to toss about new policies.

In order to express his political attitude, Zhao Kuanghuan ordered a clean-up of the officialdom. While the Inspectorate was cleaning up the Beijing officials, he sent a large number of clean government officials to inspect the localities.However, those who are involved in corruption, accepting bribes, and engaging in malpractice for personal gain will be dealt with strictly, and there will be no mention of amnesty for the world at all.After the clean-up of officials, we will check the land next year and severely punish those who occupy and buy and sell the land.

From top to bottom of the ruling and opposition parties, those with ulterior motives were completely collapsed.

They had long thought about changing the emperor, but they didn't expect that the first thing the new king would do would be to do so.

In fact, there are also New Deals, that is, to suspend external expansion. The military expenditure is too high, and the imperial court owes more than 6000 million taels of silver to the bank.

The hawks officials are very dissatisfied. They still want to capture the South Philippine Islands. How can they be promoted without fighting?

In the autumn of that year, the navy stationed in Luzon misfired with the Spanish fleet, and the two sides fired at each other for half an hour (in fact, the Datong navy chased the Spanish navy for half an hour).

Then the navy reported to the court that it was ambushed by the Spanish fleet and requested to blockade the major ports in the South Philippine Islands.

Zhao Kuanghuan was furious when he received the report. The navy regarded him as a fool. How could it be possible to attack the Datong navy on the initiative of those broken ships in Spain?

The admiral of the Navy stationed in Luzon was directly dismissed by Zhao Kuanghuan, and he ordered the Ministry of War, the Naval Governor's Office, and the Inspectorate to jointly go to Luzon to investigate the details of the matter.

Emperor, what a shame!

Chapter 1065 [Final Chapter [-]]

Old man Li is 76 years old, and everyone in the village calls him Mr. Li.

His family was a military household in Daming, responsible for guarding Xiaoling for generations.However, except for the access to the mountain, grass grows everywhere near Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the officers of the Xiaoling Guards have not seen orders to maintain it.

His eldest brother died when he was young, and his second brother became a soldier when he became an adult.

As a soldier, he took no weapons, only axes and ropes, and stole trees from Xiaolingwei for the officers.Once, when a log was lowered down a mountain, the person and the log rolled down accidentally. The spine was broken, and he suffered from pain for several days at home before he died.

So, old man Li also became a soldier, to make up for his second brother's errand, and to do hard labor for those hereditary military officers.

If there is no disease or disaster, you can barely survive.

The officers would occasionally distribute some rations, and they and their wives would do odd jobs to subsidize their families a little.However, floods and droughts occurred frequently, and his wife, who was in poor health, died of malnutrition first, and then his only son also died.

The old parents have been dead for many years, and he is the only one left in the family.

At that time, old man Li couldn't see the slightest hope in life, and lived in a daze all day long.When an officer has an errand, he will do it, if he has no errand, he will do odd jobs, and if he has nothing to do, he will be a beggar.

If he is lucky and can pick up wild eggs in the imperial mausoleum, it will already be his happiest moment.

Suddenly, the Datong army came, and old man Li was transferred to guard Nanjing, and he was given a rusty spear.

Old man Li was terrified at the time. He heard that the Datong army would massacre the city and liked to eat raw human flesh.He stood at the top of the city tremblingly, completely unable to understand military orders, and only knew how to follow others around.

Then, there were riots everywhere in the city, and the people surrounded the nobles, and soldiers rebelled in the deserted lake.

Old man Li didn't think much about it, so he rebelled and went to help open the city gate.

He just thought that the Datong Army was very powerful, so he might as well join the rebels, or follow the rebels to eat human flesh.

These military households who rebelled against Xiancheng were organized into a security force, responsible for arresting the gangsters who took advantage of the fire.

Zhang San, who was acquainted with the old man Li, was usually submissive, but suddenly he showed off his might.Zhang San didn't go to arrest the bad guys, but used the banner of the Datong Army to blackmail the wealthy households in the city. At that time, dozens of military households followed suit.

Behead all!

Old man Li saw Zhang San's head fall to the ground with his own eyes, and was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.

Later, more Datong troops entered the city, and the military households were taken outside the city.The mission officer escorted the hereditary military officer to come, saying that he was going to hold a complaint meeting, and at the beginning he played "The White-haired Girl", which made the officers and the military households who farmed the land cry loudly.

Old man Li didn't cry when he watched "The White-haired Girl", but he cried at the complaint meeting.

He chatted endlessly about what happened to his family, how each family member died, and when he mentioned his second brother, he cried, and he couldn't go on talking.

Later, the land of the hereditary military officer was allotted to military households for farming. Old man Li never dreamed that he would have his own land in this life.

Old man Li works very hard on farming, although he has never planted, his family has been cutting down trees for the officers.

When he met someone who could farm, he nodded and bowed down, begging others to teach him farming skills.Regardless of busy or slack seasons, I have to wander around the fields every day, wishing I could eat and sleep on the ridges of the fields.

One day, the village chief convened a discussion and asked all single men and women to go.

Old man Li was serving the crops at that time, so he was a little reluctant to go.Unexpectedly, he was assigned a wife, a female beggar who fled to Nanjing.

In fact, he is not considered a beggar. He went south with his family to join his relatives.

Her family all died of illness and starvation, so she could only wipe her dirty face and beg along the street.When the Datong Army cleaned up the beggars, she was half starved to death, and she was taken to the outskirts of the countryside to marry with other prostitutes who were willing to be good, as well as homeless women.

Old man Li has land property, a wife, and children, and he has a family again.

Five sons and three daughters, three died young.

There are as many as 11 grandchildren, not counting the grandchildren.The family's land property was not enough, the eldest son followed him to farm, the second son died, the third son went to the city to work as a laborer, the fourth son died, and the fifth son graduated from elementary school and became an apprentice.

Today, the third son bought a house in a slum in the northwestern part of the city, even though he was sick from carrying his bags.

The original owner got rich, moved out of the slums, and sold it very cheaply.

Last year, I heard that there was going to be demolished. If the news is true, the third son and his family can still live in the building.

The fifth son is even more terrible. He graduated from primary school and is educated, and he is willing to learn and study. He is already a master in a printing and dyeing factory, with a salary of eight taels of silver a month.Even his boss was very polite to him, first handing him cigarettes and calling him "Li Bashi" respectfully.

The land inside and outside the city is becoming more and more tense, and the newly built buildings are all buildings.

Old man Li has been to his youngest son's new house, which is even more grand than the one he got after demolition.It's just that the daughter-in-law has a bad temper and often makes him angry. Old man Li was so angry that he returned to the countryside after only two months.

In this regard, the old man Li kept silent, telling everyone he met that his son and daughter-in-law were filial, and that he moved back because he was not used to living there.

The villagers envy him for his good fortune. All his sons are filial, and all his daughters are married to good families.

In the early morning light, old man Li went out with a hoe on his shoulder.

The wife, who was over seventy years old, shouted: "It's early in the morning, where are you going to work?"

Old man Li turned his head and said, "The rice is almost ripe, I'll go to the fields."

The wife said unhappily: "Fuck you, at least ten days before you can thresh the grain. Your legs are not good, don't fall again. It's not cheap to hire a bone-setting doctor."

"I can't fall. I can walk through the ridge of our house with my eyes closed." Old man Li grinned, revealing a few sparse teeth.

The wife immediately yelled into the eldest son's room: "Your father is going out again, hurry up and don't let him fall."

The eldest son was named Li Datong. When he was choosing his name, someone reminded him of the taboo, saying that Datong was the imperial title.But old man Li insisted on taking this name, saying that in Datong, everyone has land to farm, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has food to eat.

Li Datong fell asleep in the lake, was woken up in a bad mood, and chased after him all the way.

"Father, what are you doing with your hoe this early in the morning?" Li Datong asked.

Old man Li said: "Last night in the middle of the night, I heard the wind. The rice is about to ripen, but it must not be blown down. I don't feel at ease if I don't go around."

Li Datong was speechless: "Last night, the wind was so light that it couldn't blow the rice down."

Old man Li said angrily: "You know what, you can rely on guessing about the crops? If I am careless in farming, you brothers and sisters will all starve to death!"

Li Datong stopped talking, yawned and walked forward.
