Chapter 146 Destiny
Time passed slowly, and in Zhu Youxiao's busy schedule, September 6 arrived.
This registration ceremony was no different from his cheap daddy's, the scale was grand, and the officials from all walks of life were very skilled, gathered in front of the noon gate, and then crossed the Jinshui Bridge, passed through the Huangji Gate (now Taihe Gate), and gathered in front of the Huangji Palace.
After a series of complicated etiquette, Zhu Youxiao and the hundred officials entered the imperial palace in turn, he was on the dragon chair, and the hundred officials were listed under him, and the order was orderly. It's just that the ranks of officials are a little sparse, whether it is a civilian military general, or a noble relative, there are many fewer people.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After a burst of mountain and tsunami cries, Liu Ruoyu began to read out the edict of enthronement, which is no different from Zhu Changluo's accession to the throne. The most substantial part of it is nothing more than the announcement of next year's era as the Apocalypse.
After the edict was read, the ministers shouted long live, and after that, the ceremony was completed, and then only a document was needed to announce it to the world. One morning's ceremony, the ministers all got up very early, and at this time they were all hungry and growling, and after getting up, they all waited for the release of the people above, and everyone went back to eat.
Within a month, two consecutive registration ceremonies, during which so many things happened, another coup d'état, and the brocade guards rode around, arresting people everywhere, and now the ceremony is completed, the throne is stable, and there should not be so many things to do next, you can take a breath.
When most of the courtiers were thinking this, suddenly a young voice came from the dragon chair, and the ministers were slightly stunned, and when they looked up, it was the young emperor who spoke.
"I....... I inherit the unification, the year name is Apocalypse, and I take the meaning of inheriting the destiny of the heavens, inheriting the mandate of heaven and enlightening the people below..."Zhu Youxu weaved the language and said slowly.
When the ministers heard this, they were a little absent-minded, and when they ascended the throne, the emperor would say something according to the usual practice, so as to appease the hearts of the hundred officials, but Wanli reigned for too long, and the short-lived emperor Zhu Changluo said that he was not a straw bag, but it was impossible for him to speak.
The ministers were a little stunned at first, but they soon came back to their senses, what Zhu Youxiao said was very ordinary, and the courtiers were all literary masters, and they were a little bored to listen to, but they still listened carefully, after all, there was no argument about the coup d'état a few days ago, maybe the emperor would say something when he ascended the throne.
Tang Zhi's "Pan Ming" said: "Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new." "Kanghe" said: "Be a new people." "Poem" said: "Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed." That's why a gentleman does everything. Zhu Youxiao's words changed sharply, and suddenly memorized the content of "University".
This passage fell to a sudden peak, making the ministers suddenly chuckle in their hearts, all of them present are Su Confucian, and the university is one of the four books, everyone has read it, and the content in it is not said to be memorized, but they are all proficient in their hearts.
This passage translates to a long one, but it boils down to only two words: innovation.
"What's going to happen here?" Many ministers muttered in their hearts, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the most bizarre group of people in all dynasties, and everyone has been out, no wonder these ministers think so.
“……… When I was young, I had an adverbial saying that I wanted to be a holy king, and the gentleman was renewed, and so was the holy king. I once heard that An Shi, the king of the Song Dynasty, said: 'The ancestors are not enough. I think so. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it suddenly became loud. Everyone has heard of Wang Anshi's name, and they have all heard of it, although Zhu Youxiao only said one sentence here, the ministers changed color one after another, and their hearts beat wildly.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, the emperor wants to change the law!" Similar voices wailed in the hearts of the ministers.
Although the ministers in the Imperial Palace have a few military generals and nobles, they are more civil officials, and most of them still have a keen sense of political smell, and from Zhu Youxiao's short words, they quickly associated many things, and these associations made their faces pale in an instant.
"Since the first emperor set the Central Plains and added the emperor's throne, it has been more than 2,000 years, and the system of the world has not changed. Therefore, the times have changed, advancing with the times, and the way of heaven is also reasonable. I should inherit this destiny, personally take the helm of the wheel, get rid of the old system, start the restoration, and stabilize the hearts of the Quartet with the changes in geography in accordance with the natural times. Zhu Youxiao finished his words slowly, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.
Bang!
His words were like a muffled thunder, which exploded in the hearts of the ministers, and made them dizzy, tinnitus, and dizzy. The afterglow of the voice is like thunder in the sky, rolling by, and it will endure for a long time.
The emperor is going to play in person!
Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's Xining Reform were all carried out with the acquiescence of the emperor, but at that time, the emperor was behind the scenes, and he never wanted to play in person like this.
Fang Congzhe, who was standing in the front row, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he kept silent. Thinking about his inextricable connection with the Red Pill Coup, he was embarrassed to open his mouth, although with the retreat of Concubine Zheng, he cleared all his involvement, but that is the emperor does not care about himself, so he should not go forward, after this year, when the government is stabilized, it would be good if he could retire smoothly, seven years of solitude, this life is enough.
Fang Congzhe didn't speak, but it didn't mean that the other officials had no opinions, and one of the officials in the front row raised his legs, wanting to come out of the ranks, but before he could stand up, Liu Ruoyu's sharp voice came from above the hall.
"The ceremony is complete, and the officials are dismissed."
After announcing loudly, Zhu Youxiao got up and left his seat and went out from behind. This morning's gift made him very tired and needed to rest.
Zhu Youxiao's sudden departure made the ministers who wanted to say something hold back their stomachs, and they felt quite uncomfortable when they couldn't spit out.
Zhejiang Party Fang Congzhe, Chu Party officials Ying Zhen, Wu Liangsi, Huang Yanshi, Qi Party Qi Shijiao, Zhou Yongchun, and others all gathered around a vote of officials, and the same is true of the Xuankun and Kun parties, walking together and discussing with each other.
Among the remaining members of the Donglin Party, they were not scattered and messy, but gathered around Sun Chengzong, the assistant Jingying Rongzheng, including Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. The two don't want to do this either, but at this time, the atmosphere is like this, and they can't survive in officialdom without forming a party.
Sun Chengzong added the rank of military squire, ordered by the emperor to be in charge of the Beijing camp, when he did not appoint the governor of the Beijing camp, he had the final say on the affairs of the Beijing camp, in Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Han Kuang, Liu Yijing, Zhou Jiamo and other bigwigs have fallen now, he is now the banner of the remaining officials in Donglin.
Zhu Youxiao's sudden speech made the courtiers go back with doubts and shock, and they discussed left and right on the way, but they couldn't come up with any good strategy. The emperor only said that he wanted to innovate, but he did not elaborate on what kind of innovation, so he left infinite reverie.
Although there was no consensus among the courtiers on reforming the old system, they agreed on one thing, and that was that the emperor must not be provoked now. The new official took office with three fires, not to mention the emperor. As soon as the emperor takes office, you will fight against him, are you not afraid of the fire?
Of course, these are only secondary, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are notoriously not afraid of death in front of the emperor, and some of those who want to win a statement are the most important thing with the emperor, so that the courtiers do not dare to rush forward now, or the Red Pill coup, such a mutiny and rebellion, except for the founding generations of emperors, there has been no such earth-shattering thing for almost a hundred years.
The rebellion is big, and it will definitely be a river of blood when it is handled. Now that the case has not been completed, every day the people of Jinyiwei are busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the confessions are stacked one after another, and from time to time some people will be involved.
Under the threat of a big case, everyone in the capital is in danger, at this moment, who dares to rush up to fight the emperor? Aren't you afraid that the next day there will be Jinyi Wei above, saying that you are involved in the Red Pill coup and will take you to prison? The young emperor, who was killed out of the mutiny, is really going to do this.
The Red Pill coup d'état is now like a sharp knife hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials, which may fall at any time, and if the major case of rebellion is not closed for a day, there will not be much opposition and resistance among the hundred officials for a day. Just like some people who dressed as Chongzhen during the crossing, Wei Zhongxian always dragged on without killing, creating pressure on the courtiers.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't understand it now, he wished that the case would be closed sooner, so that he could free up manpower to do other things.
"It's been so eventful, this official, I'm afraid it's not good to be a good person!" Some officials glanced back at Miyagi and made such a voice leisurely. The officials next to him nodded one after another, and they were concerned for a while.
People from several other parties did not discuss anything useful, but Sun Chengzong's side was a little different. After all, he has been a teacher at Zhu Youxiao for a period of time, and he has had in-depth exchanges and dismissals, although Zhu Youxiao later quieted down and reduced his dismissal, but he can always see one or two times a month.
Therefore, among the civil officials, Sun Chengzong said that he recognized himself as the second in his understanding of the new emperor, and no one dared to admit that he was the first. When the young remnants of the Donglin Party gathered, he said something different.
"You don't have to worry, Your Majesty has always been a great talent, with the world in mind, although people are young and inexperienced, but they are capable and young, not reckless people, and there will be no big mistakes." Sun Chengzong smiled and comforted everyone.
"And why did you join the Donglin Party, isn't it because you see that the world is becoming more and more difficult, and the people are displaced and miserable? Now the poison of Donglin has been swept away by His Majesty, and the rest are all people who are worried about the country. I advise you to abandon the bad habit of deceiving people in the past, and do more in kind, Your Majesty likes to do practical things the most. After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he arched his hand and left.
Only a group of young people who were excited by what he said were left in place.
The Donglin people who were not implicated in the major cases of rebellion were all newly promoted officials with small and humble positions, who had just stepped into their careers, full of ambitions, and wanted to support the community and make some achievements. For such young people who are worried about state affairs, the slogan and signboard of the Donglin Party to clarify the government are very attractive.
It is precisely because they still have ambitions that Sun Chengzong's words touched them even more and made them think deeply. Especially Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, they frowned and pondered, looking like they had gained.
