Chapter 6: The New Son of Heaven

In ancient times, prodigies were also very important.

Now Empress Dowager Zhang is also impressed by what Zhu Qizhen has done now.

It is true that there is only one thing that Zhu Qizhen's little tricks can really do, and that is to release her from the Golden Book of King Xiang.

Yesterday, Yang Rong had already played, although there was no explicit statement in the recital, but the meaning of the words was very clear, that is, the ancestors had their own laws, and the father died and the son succeeded the right way. hinted that he resisted brother and brother.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that this was just the beginning.

If she doesn't deal with it, it will be irreparable if she further expands the situation.

It's not that it hurts her, but that it hurts King Xiang.

If this matter is in a uproar, after the emperor ascends the throne in the future, there are many shameless villains who will take the opportunity to take revenge on King Xiang.

King Xiang may not end well.

This plan was not what Empress Dowager Zhang expected.

Zhu Qizhen's actions certainly caught Empress Dowager Zhang off guard, but it can also be seen that Zhu Qizhen's potential is the potential to be a good emperor.

This made Empress Dowager Zhang's mind change a little.

She secretly said in her heart: "I never thought that the prince had such qualifications, if I take the prince with me and train him personally, I may be able to leave a Ming monarch for Daming in my lifetime." ”

However, looking at Zhu Qizhen's appearance, there is a deep gap with her.

I'm afraid that if one doesn't do it well, it will lay the foundation for the future.

Empress Dowager Zhang secretly said in her heart: "Now I can only make a decision immediately." She said, "Come on, change the prince's clothes." ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do, but he couldn't resist. The people around Empress Dowager Zhang changed into a prince's formal dress for Zhu Qizhen. Covered with a filial piety coat outside.

Immediately, Empress Dowager Zhang took Zhu Qizhen one after the other and sat on the foot.

Looking at the direction of Bu Jiao, Zhu Qizhen's heart gradually settled down, because he could see that this was going south.

Ancient Chinese palaces were all structures with the front hall and the back bed, and the place where you go today is the front hall.

I'm afraid to go to see the minister.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhang took Zhu Qizhen out of the long palace wall and came to a large empty square, which was all cleaned up, with only three high platforms.

These three high platforms are nothing else, but the ruins of the three major halls.

During the Yongle period, Beijing City was built, and the three major halls were the first buildings to be built. It's just that it was also the first to be unlucky, that is, the three major halls, which were struck by lightning during the Yongle period, causing a fire and being burned.

If you want to rebuild it, it's unlikely.

It's not just a matter of financial resources, it's also a matter of materials. For example, the beams and pillars needed to build the palace are all golden silk nanmu, which is extremely precious, and it takes a lot of effort to transport it out of the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou.

In addition, after Yongle, the national finances could not support it, the implementation strategy contracted, and even Jiaozhi gave up.

These big projects can only be put on hold first.

The eunuchs and palace maids surrounded the Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Qizhen and walked through the square of the three major halls, walked through a few palace walls to the east, and saw a special building from a distance in a short time.

The other buildings of the Forbidden City are all gold tiles and red walls, but this Wenyuan Pavilion is a typical southern building with blue walls and black tiles. It is built in imitation of Ningbo Fan's library building, the first floor of the sky.

With the meaning of heaven and water, the earth is sixty percent. and the cold color is like water, to avoid fire.

It is a library building in the Forbidden City. It is also the seat of the Cabinet.

At this time, many ministers have already greeted them.

Zhu Qizhen saw from a distance that there were five old men with frosty white hair, four civil officials in uniform, and one in a prince's python robe. It's just that they have filial piety clothes on the outside of their clothes. Behind them are dozens of petty officials of seven or eight grades. They are all scholars walking in the cabinet.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, greetings to the Prince." Several people knelt down in unison and saluted.

"Get up." The Queen Mother said as she took Zhu Qizhen's hand and walked into the Wenyuan Pavilion.

As soon as he entered Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Qizhen smelled something else.

Wenyuan Pavilion is the largest library in the Forbidden City, and in order to maintain the books, there are many medicinal materials in it to prevent insects and moths. These medicinal flavors are intertwined to form a special flavor.

It's the smell of books.

Perhaps many people have not smelled this smell anymore, because with the progress of printing methods, this smell has long since slowly dissipated.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, there is only one empty main seat, and there are two rows of long tables on the left and right, and there are only benches under the long tables.

The golden chair of the main seat is actually the throne.

The main seat of each yamen is the position of the chief officials of each department, and Wenyuan Pavilion is in the palace, and there is only one master in the palace. It's the emperor.

The Queen Mother turned her eyes and saw that the five ministers had all come in, and these scholars stayed outside the hall and waited.

The Queen Mother said: "This is the new Son of Heaven." ”

As soon as these words came out, he saw an old man immediately kneeling on the ground and said: "Minister Yang Rong pays a visit to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

As soon as Yang Rong said this, the other four people also knelt on the ground and said: "Minister Yang Shiqi pays a visit to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Minister Yang Pu visits my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Minister Hu Hu visits my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Minister Zhang Fu pays a visit to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhu Qizhen glanced at the Queen Mother, but saw that the Queen Mother was expressionless and silent, he could only shake his throat and said: "My father is unfortunately promoted, and the burden of ten thousand catties is in the lonely body, and I also ask you to look at Taizong, Renzong, and the face of the first emperor, and help Lonely." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old minister will do his best and die." ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at the five people kneeling below, and secretly guessed their identities in his heart.

The first one to kneel down was Yang Rong.

Yang Rong is slightly younger than Yang Shiqi.

And the first to speak at this moment was Yang Shiqi.

Although the first emperor trusted Yang Rong the most, the head of the cabinet, that is, the first assistant of the cabinet, was Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi is the oldest of the five below, but he is also the oldest.

A few days ago, he heard Wang Zhen talk about the situation.

Knowing that between Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, there is actually a little problem. Yang Rong was not convinced by Yang Shiqi's status.

Among these five people, the one who is dressed as a prince is naturally the British public Zhang Fu.

It seems that the British Gong Zhang Fu is the least old of the few, and his hair is the most black. The body is the most burly and strong, and he is worthy of being born as a martial artist.

Zhu Qizhen turned his gaze, and the remaining two people. He couldn't tell for a while, who was Hu Hu and who was Yang Pu. In a matter of moments, it was determined.

Among them, the one with the best complexion is Hu Hui.

Because he knew that Hu Hu was a disciple of Wudang. Trusted by Emperor Taizong, in the name of looking for Zhang Sanfeng, he traveled all over the world, but in fact, he was secretly looking for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen.

He didn't know that the martial arts of Wudang in this era were really as magical as Jin Yong wrote, but there was one thing that was not wrong, Hu Hu was the best at health preservation.

He was not the youngest of these people, but he had the best complexion. The four words of crane hair and childish face were almost created by Hu Hui.

After Hu Hu was determined, the remaining one was naturally Yang Pu.

They were the auxiliary ministers left behind by Emperor Xuanzong.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Masters, please get up. He turned around and said, "Wang Daban, bring some piers for your masters." ”

"Yes." Wang Zhen, who had been following Zhu Qizhen, immediately said.

Immediately for five people to move the embroidery pier.

The five of them sat down one by one.

And the Queen Mother and Zhu Qizhen also sat down.

The chair in the right position was moved.

Side by side with two chairs, the Empress Dowager is in the west, and Zhu Qizhen is in the east.

After taking a seat, not only the Queen Mother, but also the five auxiliary ministers, also looked at Zhu Qizhen with admiration.

Not every nine-year-old child is at such a critical time. So calm and at ease, without a single gaffe. However, the Queen Mother does not have high requirements for Zhu Qizhen, because Zhu Qizhen is just a child after all.

He will do the rest.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The mourning family is unfortunate, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person." The burden of 10,000 catties of Daming Jiangshan is on the mourning family, and the mourning family is a woman's family, and what can be done is not to rely on the masters. I was busy with the emperor's major affairs before, and now I should discuss all the things that should be discussed. ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen heard this, he understood that he was just an observer. Or rather, the ceremonial emperor.
