When the news came out that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Ji to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne, the ministers were in an uproar. In the morning, he also blamed Liu Ji for choosing another location to set the capital, and in the evening he promoted Liu Ji to be the middle of the imperial history and the Taishi Ling, responsible for the enthronement in Yingtianfu.

The courtiers who didn't know the inside story only said that Zhu Yuanzhang was unpredictable and difficult to figure out; The courtiers who knew the inside story all sighed at Ma Xiuying's influence on Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was nothing more than turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain.

"Si Chen, the only way to go! Is this woman going to be Wu Zetian? is so charming to the prince, let the prince change his order every day! In the Korean Mansion, Li Shanchang was so angry that he immediately tore up the chapter in his hand, and the content of the Dingdu that he had worked so hard to write became a piece of waste paper, and what made him even more annoyed was that Liu Ji was a blessing in disguise, not only was he not treated coldly by Zhu Yuanzhang but was also appointed as the chief minister in the imperial history, what is this going to do, is the next step to let Liu Ji take over his position as prime minister?

"Don't worry, teacher, Princess Nama...... That woman has always been favored by the king, and if she is allowed to develop, she will surely bring disaster to the country and the people. We must persuade the prince to wake up as soon as possible. Hu Weiyong was used to calling Ma Xiuying Princess Ma, but when he saw Li Shanchang's pale face, he immediately changed his words.

"Hmph, this woman will ruin the prince's country sooner or later, and the old man will go to persuade the prince." Li Shanchang threw away the waste paper in his hand and called people to change clothes.

"Teacher, slow down!" Hu Weiyong ordered the servants to go down, and said to Li Shanchang: "That woman is when she is favored, the teacher rashly goes to persuade the prince, the prince will definitely not listen, maybe he will punish the teacher, it is better to relax this breath for the time being, and slowly figure it out." ”

"How?"

"Isn't she favored, then let her fall out of favor, once the prince no longer loves her, she will be abandoned like a clog, and it will be useless for her to have a lotus tongue at that time."

"But after the prince ascended the throne, she was the mother of the main palace, how could she make the prince disgusted? Besides, she gave birth to several brothers, even if she fell out of favor, it was impossible for the prince to abandon her. Li Shanchang shook his head, this is a sure thing, once Zhu Yuanzhang becomes the emperor, Ma Xiuying will inevitably be crowned, and the prince Zhu Biao will also become the prince, and her position will only become more and more stable.

"Then let the prince depose the queen!" The fierce light in Hu Weiyong's eyes flashed, and he instantly changed to an honest and loyal appearance. "As the saying goes, you are easy to make friends, rich and easy to wife, and the intrigues of harem women are endless, and everyone wants to please the prince. We have a confidant in the palace, pay attention to Ma's every move at any time, and reveal it to the lord if there is a slight mistake, there are many such things, and the prince will inevitably dislike Ma. Then we will support a woman at the right time to help her ascend to the back seat, and then the new queen will thank the teacher for her kindness, and she will ...... to the teacher in everything."

Li Shanchang was quite moved, and muttered: "Which lady do you think is suitable?" ”

"The student heard that the prince originally took a fancy to Concubine Hui and wanted to marry Concubine Hui, but somehow he married Ma first. Now that Ma is going to be the queen, Concubine Hui is a head shorter than Ma, don't say that she is Concubine Hui, even the students are not worth it for Concubine Hui. Moreover, Concubine Hui's mother is still under house arrest by Tang He, and she doesn't know if she is crazy or stupid. Poor Marshal Guo's family raised tigers and was ruined by the Ma family. Such a vicious woman, why can't God open her eyes and let her become a country? "Anyway, he has decided to turn his face with Ma Xiuying, so Hu Weiyong poured dirty water on Ma Xiuying." Therefore, the students thought that whether it was from personal grievances or family feuds, Concubine Hui was the most suitable, and she would definitely be willing to cooperate with the teacher. ”

"What you said makes sense, Concubine Hui also has a certain status in the prince's heart, last time she persuaded the prince to choose another location to set the capital, but unfortunately it was stirred up by the poisonous woman of the Ma family." Speaking of his plan being sabotaged by Ma Xiuying, Li Shanchang became angry.

"The student still has a plan, since we can't change the matter of the capital, the teacher might as well suggest that the prince recognize the great Confucian Zhu Xi of the previous dynasty as his ancestor, so that the prince will be happy to have a noble bloodline."

Hu Weiyong is not completely nonsense, he made preparations before he came to see Li Shanchang, sent people to check many clues, and found that Zhu Yuanzhang's historical ancestors can be traced back to the fifth generation ancestor Zhu Zhongba.

Zhu Zhongba was a native of Zhujiaxiang in Jurong in the late Southern Song Dynasty. But the Jurong Zhu clan is just an ordinary clan that has been farming for generations, and in the last three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, it has never produced any famous figures, whether it is a scholar or a famous Confucian, or a high-ranking official and eunuch, and even a Lang official can not be found, nor can he find a person or a jinshi.

This alone cannot show the nobility of Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodline, Hu Weiyong thought of Zhu Xi, the sage among the twelve philosophers, and this investigation made him overjoyed.

Jinling Jurong Zhu's family does originate from the Zhu family of the Wuyuan Tea House where Zhu Xi is located, and it is true that Zhu Xi belongs to the same ancestor, but it has long been divided into two branches, and Zhu Xi belongs to the Wuyuan branch; Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor Zhu Zhongba belongs to the Jurong branch, although it is a bit far-fetched, but the two branches originated from one earlier, and it is not a random relationship.

So when everyone was preparing for the enthronement ceremony, Li Shanchang first wrote to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to set the name of the country, he deliberately glanced at Liu Ji and said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "The prince used to be a general of King Xiaoming, and now King Xiaoming has been killed...... Well, the deceased, the prince inherited the power of King Xiao Ming, that is, the new King Ming, so the minister thought that the country name could be set as Ming. ”

Originally, Li Shanchang deliberately mentioned the death of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, because he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would forget about Liu Ji's killing of Han Lin'er, and wanted to use Zhu Yuanzhang's hand to attack Liu Ji. Unexpectedly, Liu Ji saw through his intentions, and immediately stood up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, the lord is the new king of Ming, and the country name can be set as Daming!" ”

A "big" character obviously elevated Zhu Yuanzhang's status and suppressed Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied, "Since Li Aiqing and Liu Aiqing are both satisfied, then Gu will set the name of the country as Daming." ”

Li Shanchang was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and with a green face, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to worship his ancestors at the enthronement ceremony, posthumously seal his ancestors, and swore that he had verified that Zhu Yuanzhang was a descendant of Zhu Xi.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little stunned when he first heard that he was a descendant of Zhu Xi, but soon he became happy, and Li Shanchang's move was very much in line with his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang has actually always had a little inferiority complex and is distressed by his origin. He is not born noble, nor is he a famous eunuch, but a grassroots commoner through and through. Among the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign emperors, he was the only one who came from a poor background, and even his idol Liu Bang once served as the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County. He was always afraid that others would secretly ridicule his origins and say that his throne was not justified. If he can get in touch with Zhu Xi now, he will become a saint. Becoming an emperor after a saint is naturally in line with the will of heaven.
