Chapter 51 The First Uncle of the Ming Dynasty, the Loyal Uncle
"The emperor has arrived, and hundreds of officials are coming. The eunuch stood at the corner outside the temple and sang loudly.
Today, the Taihe Hall is full of joy, with red hanging colors everywhere, and the bright red carpet has been spread from the Dragon Court to the outside of the Taihe Palace.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live" All the hundred officials prostrate at the feet of the emperor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be polite. Looking at the hundred officials prostrate at his feet, Zhu Youzhen felt that it was so good to be the emperor, the world was prostrate at his feet, holding the power of life and death.
Wang Chengen proclaimed. Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the hundred officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Chengen stepped forward towards Zhu Youzhen and owed his body before unfolding the holy decree in his hand.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The new emperor ascended the throne, the whole world celebrated, read the world, felt the emperor's grace, and changed the Yuan Chongzhen, and next year was the first year of Chongzhen. At the same time, Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces are exempted from money and grain for three years. Chin this. ”
"The emperor is shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live" The hundreds of officials shouted long live again.
"Chongzhen, you're finally here. Wang Feng, who was crowded in the crowd, secretly squinted at Chongzhen on the dragon chair.
"I am able to sit here today, inheriting the legacy of Emperor Daxing, all thanks to the support of all the ministers, I am here to thank you. Zhu Youzhen bowed deeply to the ministers.
When the ministers saw the emperor like this, how could they dare to stand, and they knelt down one after another and said that they didn't dare.
"This time Wang Feng will definitely be reused, he has made such a great contribution, the emperor will definitely not treat him badly, I guess the first emperor to reward will definitely be Wang Feng. All the officials were talking below, and looked at Wang Feng from time to time.
"Look at me, even though I'm handsome, don't you stare at me like that!" Seeing the hundreds of officials staring at him, Wang Feng muttered for a while, of course, Wang Feng also knew what they were thinking.
"Where is the prince washing the horse Wang Feng..."Chongzhen shouted Wang Feng in the dragon court.
"Look at me, I'm him! You see, the emperor will definitely reward him heavily. An officer next to him gently bit his ear at an officer next to him.
As soon as Wang Feng, who was still in the crowd, heard Chongzhen shouting his name, he immediately went out of class and knelt down.
"Wang Feng listens to orders"
"The prince washes the horse and Wang Feng receives the order. Wang Feng lowered his head lower, but his butt was raised higher.
"Wang Feng, hurry up, you are a meritorious man, you don't need to be so formal. I don't know when Zhu Youzhen had already gotten out of the dragon court and gently helped up Wang Feng, who was kneeling under the dragon seat.
"Weichen Xie Emperor. Wang Feng followed Chongzhen's hand and stood up slowly, but deliberately lowered Chongzhen's head.
"Aiqing, I heard Wang Chengen, a minion, say that in order to congratulate me on my accession to the throne, you specially offered 1 million taels of silver, right?"
"Back to the emperor's words, this is a little bit of Weichen's heart, to express his congratulations to the emperor on his accession to the throne. ”
"What? Did he have too much money? He actually donated a million taels?" Wang Feng's answer caused a discussion among the important ministers below.
Chongzhen looked at the appearance of the heavy minister's riot, and he felt very satisfied. That's what he wants, that's to make all
The ministers all heard that one of their colleagues had donated a million taels.
Now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, a few days ago Chongzhen received an excerpt, Shaanxi Gao Yingxiang rebelled, although the local government was ordered to suppress it with all its might, but the war always needs money, and the Liao, every year is millions of taels of silver, which makes the Ming Dynasty, known as the richest in the world, difficult to eat. Although Chongzhen knew that there was a lot of silver in the palace, Chongzhen had no intention of using any of it, after all, the money was the result of several generations of emperors having stored it.
Of course, Wang Feng understood what Chongzhen's idea was, but he didn't mind, the more Chongzhen was like this, the more beneficial it would be to his warlord path. Chongzhen's unkindness towards hundreds of officials is well-known in history, how could Wang Feng destroy his reputation!
"Wang Feng, Emperor Daxing gave you the Nine Dragons Order in recognition of your contribution to the Ming Dynasty, and I decided to follow the example of Emperor Daxing to crown you as the crown prince and young master, the first uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and the loyal uncle. ”
"Wechen thank the emperor for his holy grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live. Wang Feng hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
"What prince and young master, loyal uncle, I, Chongzhen Laozi has done so many things for you, you have sealed a vacant position to prevaricate me, no wonder the history books say that you are unkind!" Wang Feng scolded Chongzhen fiercely in his heart.
"Aiqing, you won't blame me! After the next dynasty, Wang Feng was deliberately left behind by Chongzhen.
"Don't dare..."Wang Feng didn't expect that the seventeen-year-old Chongzhen would be able to see through his thoughts.
"Eh, there's nothing to dare to, if I change me and make such a great contribution but only get a false position, I will be unhappy. Chongzhen admired the lake and mountains in the Imperial Garden, and peeked at Wang Feng's expression from time to time.
Wang Feng also knew that the emperor must be staring at him at this time, so he lowered his posture more and more, "The minister is a cloth cloth, the emperor Meng Daxing and the current emperor will not give up, and the minister will be promoted from a cloth cloth to the prince and young master, loyal uncle, it is too late for the minister to be grateful, where can he dare to be resentful!"
Wang Feng's expression was so calm, without the slightest pretentiousness, Chongzhen suddenly felt that he was very sorry for Wang Feng, originally in Chongzhen's heart he wanted to reuse Wang Feng, but Chongzhen's heart has not been able to shake that shadow, instead of doubting every day, it is better to leave him idle, "If you can think like this, I will rest assured, I also want to reuse you, but you also know that you are a cloth cloth, and you are promoted too quickly, and the courtiers will inevitably be dissatisfied, you can rest assured, I will compensate you well after a while." ”
"Compensate me, the courtiers are not convinced, such an excuse, Wang Feng admires Chongzhen can think of it. "Now Wang Feng doesn't care about this, what he cares about most now is to leave Jingshi, this place is too restrictive, and it is always not suitable for him.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been away from home for many days, and he can't help but feel a little homesick, I hope that the emperor can understand the minister's attachment to his homeland, and Rong Chen will leave and return to his hometown. Wang Feng suddenly threw his farewell to Chongzhen.
"Farewell?" Chongzhen didn't expect Wang Feng to submit his resignation at this time, and he didn't know how to answer him for a while.
"Okay, I've agreed! After you go back, build your uncle's mansion well, after all, you are also an important minister of the imperial court, and you can't lose the royal face. After thinking about it for a long time, Chongzhen felt that he was already a little sorry for Wang Feng for the official sealing, so Chongzhen did a favor to Wang Feng this time.
"Yes, the emperor, if the emperor is fine, the minister will retire!" Wang Feng couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, leaving Beijing was undoubtedly a dragon into the sea for him, and the bird flew high in the sky, so he hurriedly retreated.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't let him go!" Looking at Wang Feng's distant back, Wang Chengen muttered silently alone.
