I - Chapter 1068

  Chapter 1068 1064【Final Chapter 3】

  Zhao Han was sitting on the Meridian Gate tower, his whole body was in pain, and he was about to pass out from the pain. He could only grit his teeth and hold back.

  After everyone celebrated their birthdays, Zhao Han looked at the clan, officials and envoys below the city, and suddenly asked feebly, “Can you kneel down to me?”

  The voice was too low, only the people around could hear it, and everyone was stunned.

  Prince Zhao Kuanghuan was the first to react and knelt down with a plop.

  The female officer ran to the guards on the tower and said, “Your Majesty asks if everyone can bow down to the emperor.”

  The tower guards knelt down one after another, and some people ran to the city to spread the message: “Your Majesty asked, can everyone kneel down to worship the emperor.”

  The guards ran and passed on the message, passing by along the way, like a strong wind sweeping the wheat fields, one by one began to bow down.

  Even the envoys from Europe knelt down in unison, and they were sincere. Everyone knows that the emperor’s time is running out. He abolished the kneeling ceremony before, and only wanted to accept a kneeling ceremony before he died.

  Looking at the city, Zhao Han suddenly laughed.

  To be honest, the memory before time travel has become very weak. Even many things before starting the army have been forgotten, and at this moment they suddenly recalled, passing through my mind like a revolving lantern.

   “Pingshen.” Zhao Han said softly.

   “Flat body!”

   “Flat body!”

  The voice came from near and far, and everyone in the city stood up one after another.

  Emperor Zhao was really able to make a fuss this time. After the birthday celebration ceremony, he drank some millet porridge and asked his guards to carry him to Meizizhou.

  Everyone followed, because the sports meeting was held in advance.

  The sports meeting was launched in the 35th year of the Republic of China. Anyone can sign up to participate, and the royal family provides prizes and bonuses. The current events include: long-distance running, sprinting, standing long jump, triple jump, firecracker shooting, bow and arrow shooting, spearmanship, equestrianism, wrestling, boxing, cuju, polo, swimming, regatta, javelin, medicine ball, Ironman Three items.

  The triathlon was established to promote bicycles.

  Rubber already has early vulcanization technology, bicycles have tires, and chains are not difficult, and they can already be used as a means of travel.

  Meizizhou in the Yangtze River has completely become an entertainment center with the holding of the sports meeting. Residents on the island can get rich by doing small businesses, and there are a lot of tourists on ordinary holidays.

   “Woooooooooooooo…”

  The whistle of the river ship sounded, and Zhao Han took the steamboat and headed for Meizizhou first.

  The opening ceremony was very exciting. There were opera, magic, equestrian and other performances. Zhao Han endured the pain to finish watching.

   Stayed in Meizizhou that night, and watched the official game the next day.

  A player from Hebei, Du Chunfeng, won the 15-foot sprint championship, and then won the 30-foot sprint championship.

  The banks of the Yangtze River are also full of people.

  People gather on the shore to cheer and cheer, because there is a boat race there. The shape of the boat is similar to that of a dragon boat. Someone beats drums to beat the rhythm. The rowing boats are like flying arrows flying on the river.

  The triathlon in the afternoon was even more lively.

  The contestants first rode bicycles on the north bank of the Yangtze River. After arriving at the destination, abandon the car and swim across the Yangtze River, swim to the south bank of the Yangtze River and start running, run for a while, and then swim to the end of Meizizhou.

   On the fifth day of the sports meeting, Zhao Han suddenly fainted.

  It took a while to wake up, and he found that the game had been interrupted, so he said: “The sports meeting will continue, the officials of the cabinet and the clan, follow me back to the Forbidden City immediately.”

  …

   Yingmin Hall.

  Everyone was uneasy, faintly feeling that something big had happened.

  Zhao Hanwo sat on the throne of Jin Luan, speaking as cleanly as possible: “Chen Maosheng, you are going to write the trick!”

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

  The emperor died, he should also resign, at most one more year as a buffer.

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

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

  Fei Chun and Liu Ziren have passed away, the former at the age of 68 and the latter at the age of 62. 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 a 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 “Datong Collection” is inscribed 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 emperor’s seal is affixed, and the cabinet’s seal 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.”

   “Follow the order!”

  Chen Maosheng, Xu Ying, Wang Diaoding, Xiao Huan, Ouyang Zheng, five people came out to take orders, all of them were veterans in their seventies, and the last three were even over eighty years old.

  The new monarch has a new atmosphere, and the old officials should really go. No matter what their original intentions are, they 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 is the man who was born as a domestic slave and became the chief political envoy 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 chief assistant. But you have an upright personality, and there are too many enemies in the court. You can continue to be the chief assistant, or you can choose to retire and 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.”

   “I have 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 is leaving, Yang An is in a trance, suddenly unable to find the meaning of life.

   Fighting with a group of young officials (fifties or sixties)?

  Yang An whimpered and said: “I invite you to retire and return to your hometown.”

  Zhao Han nodded: “Alright.”

   “Woooooooooooh~~~~”

   Zhao Kuanghuan wept 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 sincerely, while others cry hypocritically.

  Zhao Han said to Fei Ruhe again: “Brother He, you should also retire. Don’t make trouble for the younger generation. The prince has his own pocket. You uncle, don’t annoy your nephew.”

  Fei Ruhe no longer addressed His Majesty, and said tearfully, “I listened to Brother Han.”

   Rolled out a few more people, and Zhao Han arranged for 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 twenty minutes, they handed it to the emperor with both hands.

  Zhao Han reluctantly raised his hands and reloaded the royal pistol. After tossing for a long time, he finally reloaded it.

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

   “Haha, it’s just a joke.”

  Zhao Han laughed lightly, turned his gun suddenly, and stuffed the barrel into his mouth.

   “Father!” Zhao Kuanghuan rushed to grab the gun.

   “Your Majesty!”

  The clan and officials also rushed over.

  Zhao Han pulled the trigger, but found that his fingers couldn’t use any force. 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 don’t bother to ask you for poison. I can die as I want, and it is difficult to end the pain early. I plan to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, and I will not interfere with the government in the future.”

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

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

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

  At this age, Zhao Kuanghuan no longer has any ambitions. He thinks that his father’s policy is very good.

   In order to express his political attitude, Zhao Kuanghuan ordered a cleanup 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.

  Across the government and the opposition, those with ulterior motives were all crushed.

  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, the New Deal also has a suspension of external expansion. The military expenditure is too high, and the imperial court owes the bank more than 60 million taels of silver.

  Hawk 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. 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, and the navy regarded him as a fool. How could it be possible for those broken ships in Spain to take the initiative to attack the Datong Navy?

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

  Emperor, how difficult it is to be!
