Since ancient times, the gift of Zen concession is the most peaceful way to transfer power, which is far more powerful than father and son cannibalism and brother taking the throne.

The Ming Dynasty was able to usher in such a grand event, which can be said to be the biggest event.

It can completely avoid bloodshed and strife, and minimize the loss of national strength, which is a blessing for the dynasty and a blessing for the people.

But those who know the inside story know that this is completely the reason why the old emperor can no longer support it.

There are only his personal physical reasons, and there are also external reasons.

Today's Ming Dynasty is actually already suffering from internal and external troubles, and the nomads in the north are ready to move and may move south at any time.

Jianzhen female slaves, not long ago, occupied the entire Liaoyang, and the Ming Dynasty was outside the entire Shanhai Pass, leaving only a lonely city of Ningyuan.

And the interior of the Ming Dynasty is also a continuous natural disaster, the land of Qin and Chu, three years of drought in a row, but the south is flooded.

Hungry people are everywhere, starving to death in the wilderness, and the southeastern region, which has always been a heavy place for the imperial court's taxes, has been plagued by frequent floods.

If this battle is fought, the lost land will be regained, and the people will have to be pacified, but all this will require silver.

But this tax can't be increased, and the people of the world are already living very hard, and in good years, after the tax, they are just barely able to make ends meet.

Even so, the little grain dug in the land was not enough to pay taxes, and in the south, in the spare time, you had to catch some fish and pick some lotus roots, so that you could barely make up the taxes of the imperial court.

This is not the case at all in the North.

Often in good years, the little grain dug in the land is just enough to pay taxes, and in the spare time, you have to do some idle work to barely make a living.

However, in recent years, there have been frequent droughts in the north, but taxes have increased unabated.

Originally, this was also a helpless thing, there is so much wealth in the world, in this disaster year, the treasury is empty, and there is still a war, where does the money come from?

Military spending remains high, and there is no way to reduce it, and the soldiers at the border gates are fighting for their lives, and they can't help but pay people money.

However, the north has been in drought for three consecutive years, and the land has been harvested, so what can I pay taxes?

Not to mention paying taxes, in such a year, the state treasury still has to come up with money to relieve the victims, but in addition to the fact that this year has been dry for three consecutive years, it has to be reversed for three consecutive years.

Today's treasury is already eating grain, and the old emperor has left a huge deficit.

The victims of the Sanqin land have already heard that the hungry people have eaten the bark of the trees, and the canopy grass in the mountain crevices has been plucked.

I really don't know if it doesn't rain anymore, the consequences are unimaginable.

Everything is in a state of tension, like a bow, which has been rounded, and if there is another random event, even if it is a straw, the overturning of this edifice may be in an instant.

It's hard for you to imagine that since the old emperor succeeded to the throne, he can be said to be diligent, completely emulating his ancestors, and doing everything himself.

But it is under such diligence that the world is actually governed like this.

But who is to blame for this?

Can the emperor not be diligent?

What minister is not conscientious and walking on thin ice!

It seems that no one can blame it, and if you have to blame it, you can only blame God.

You can't find it in the history books, there is no place where there can be a drought for more than three years, let alone a big drought here, a flood there, this situation has lasted for many years.

It is often said that people cannot be unlucky for a lifetime!

But the reality is, not to mention people, even if the dynasty is unlucky, it is really possible to be unlucky to death.

The crux of all this is two words, silver.

As long as he has money, all these problems can be solved, and in the face of this mess left by his father, the prince is helpless.

This is also the first time since he became in power, the first is to check the treasury of the world, severely punish corrupt officials, and fill the deficit of the treasury to the greatest extent.

The second is to open the sea ban!

After opening up sources and reducing expenditure, the effort has been done sufficiently, and it depends on whether the two candidates who implement his policy can do these two errands well.

It can be said that this is a good prescription to save Daming, and it is also the only way.

On this day, the auspicious day of the zodiac was deliberately chosen, and it happened to be the Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Elder Festival, and the Ascending Festival.

Under the report of Qin Tianjian, the time of dawn was chosen, which also coincided with the alternation of the old and the new, the alternation of day and night, which meant that the Ming Dynasty began a new chapter.

As early as when it was still dark at the time of the war, the courtiers were already waiting at the end gate, headed by Zuo Taishi, the cabinet sub-government, and Shen Yixian, leading the officials of the foreign courts, under the supervision of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, neatly dressed, solemn in the weather, with solemn faces, holding ivory wat boards, and entering in turn.

In the meantime, several Han generals stood on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and the bright armor on their bodies shone in the moonlight.

The team of brocade guards are even more freshly dressed and angry, the embroidered spring knife in their hands, and the flying fish clothes on their bodies are extremely new, and they have been ironed without a trace of creases.

And the officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side, in twos and threes, are specially monitored on both sides, which official is out of order in front of the palace.

The words and deeds of the courtiers were completely under the supervision of these officials, and they were not even allowed to cough, let alone make unnecessary movements.

If any official is not neatly dressed, has an unrespectful attitude, and has no hands that can make him stand upright, he will be recorded in a small book by these officials.

Once it is written down in these small books, it will be punished with a fine, and at worst with a cane.

And the officials in the capital, no better than the local officials, have some oil and water to make in addition to Yulu, and they almost all live on Yulu.

Once he was fined, his life would be in trouble at that time, which was the only way to punish the officials of the Beijing Division.

One by one, they almost didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and the formation was orderly.

Like a few important ministers, the four ministers led by Shen Yixian had already fasted almost the night before, and they didn't dare to drink a little water, relying on some precious tonics and supplements, and they didn't feel hungry or thirsty.

This is what allows them to stay on the end of the day and not excrete.

And with the first assistant of the cabinet, Zuo Taishi, he is already dying, and the emperor gave him a special gift, and the two of them can be carried in as a special case.

And Taishi Zuo is indeed old, and he actually fell asleep on top of this lift.

When I arrived at the cabinet room, headed by the five eunuchs of the celebrant and the eunuch, led by Yang Hai, at this moment, when the sky was about to dawn, the east was about to appear porcelain bright, and came to the Taihedian Square.

Until two o'clock, there was the Yellow Gate attendant, shouting loudly, greeting the emperor, long live, long live, long live!

With the sound of three whips, the guns rang out in unison, followed by the ministers, kneeling on the ground together, black and pressing, long live the mountain together.

The old emperor came, and with the support of the prince, the father and son first paid homage to the ancestral temple, and then accepted the pilgrimage.

The rest of the matter will be a matter of course.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites received the jade seal of the country from the emperor, the emperor's great seal, and knelt in front of the crown prince.

Here, the crown prince had to refuse three times in a row, saying that it was difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, and he would continue to hold the seal with his father.

And the ministers started to perform here, and they burst into tears, persuading them three times in a row, and the emperor also had to refuse three times, saying, you have to take on the heavy responsibility.

In fact, this is a rule handed down from Taizu since the Ming Dynasty, but it has never been written on paper.

Everyone understands that they are all acting with each other.

The prince has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the courtiers below don't understand.

Everyone is acting here, which seems to be extremely hypocritical, but all this is necessary.

Thinking about what a ridiculous thing this is, this generation of emperors and generations of courtiers have cooperated with each other tacitly, and no party will really think that the other party really doesn't want to be this emperor.

In the end, under the persuasion of the courtiers, the crown prince reluctantly took over the emperor's seal, but soon held an enthronement ceremony.

This is a fake politeness, who doesn't understand it!

The enthronement ceremony was shabby.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, there is only a little money in the treasury, and it has already eaten grain, and the accounts have been calculated until three years later, so it can be said that the prince's mood is really not good.

After dawn, the emperor's serious illness recurred, and he had no choice but to return to Changchun Palace.

The whole Zen ceremony, plus the enthronement ceremony, is enough to toss for a day, Siyu saw from afar, the ceremonial flowers, blooming in the sky.

Like peonies one by one, red, yellow, blue, all kinds of colors bloom in the sky, blooming so warmly, and like meteors, sprinkled on the roofs of more than 9,000 houses in this palace.

Siyu watched this twist and turn every day, but in fact, he knew that this Ming Dynasty was just flashy on the surface, and it was ruined.

In this world, it is not as colorful as this firework looks, and it has long been in crisis.

The crown prince was busy until very late before returning, and he was accompanied by Princess Gu, which flattered her.

Throughout the celebration, she was very excited, and the brilliant and colorful fireworks illuminated her face, making her eyes shine more and more.

But she found that the prince's face was gloomy, which made her very puzzled, and she kept beating the drum in her heart, not knowing what was happening.

She was thinking, what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was already the emperor, and thinking that he might become the queen in the future, just thinking about it, she was excited in her heart.

But she saw that the prince was still not in a high mood, and she was not easy to ask, and finally hoped that at the end of the celebration, he actually said something that made her feel cold.

"Send Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess back, go and inform Siyu Niangniang, I, go to her in a while, and let her list some important folds!"

Yang Hai hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty, the old slave will go!" ”

The left sentence Siyu Niangniang, the right sentence Siyu Niangniang, which made Princess Gu, who was in an excellent mood, suffer a lot, no matter how good her cultivation was, she couldn't stand it, and couldn't help murmuring: "It's Siyu again, can she step past me?" ”

The prince obviously heard her words, so he simply stiffened his neck and twisted his face away.
