I

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, looking at the clan, officials and envoys below the city, Zhao Han 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 official ran to the guards on the tower and said, "Your Majesty asks if everyone can bow down to worship 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."

While running, the guards passed on the message, passing by, like a strong wind sweeping the wheat fields, one by one they 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 down 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 the 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.

"Woo woo woo..."

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

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

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

Du Chunfeng, a contestant from Hebei, won the 15-foot sprint championship, and then won the 30-foot sprint crown.

Both sides of the Yangtze River are also crowded with people.

The people gathered on the shore to cheer, because there was 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 him a while to wake up, and he realized 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, 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 seventy 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 a walk 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 "Da Tong Ji", without missing a single word, 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."

"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 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 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."

"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 was in a trance, suddenly unable to find the meaning of life.

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

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

Zhao Han nodded: "Alright."

"Woooooooooooooo~~~~"

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

He has complicated feelings for his father, admiring, complaining, and fearing. 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 twenty minutes, they handed it to the emperor with both hands.

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 60 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 for the Spanish ships to attack the Datong navy on their own initiative?

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!
