Chapter 070: Falling Forever (1)
Jiazi, the crown prince Zhu Yijun succeeded to the throne. Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Rong, the British Gong, Xu Congcheng, and Jiang You, the Marquis of Dingxi, were sent to the northern and southern suburbs, Taimiao, and Sheji Altar, and they were ordered to be ordered by Emperor Daxing at several feasts, and they had a crown and only told heaven and earth. The first hall and the Hongxiao Palace, the Shenxiao Palace, is the emperor of Daxing a few feasts before the bow, the queen and the imperial concubine then according to the routine of four bows.
After the ceremony, the new monarch of the Imperial Palace, the hundred officials, changed the next year to the first year of Wanli, and the amnesty edict said:
"Our country is glorious and ambitious, passed on for eternity, the ancestors of the saints created a heart, more than 200 years of heavy Xi tired, my emperor is a great line of emperor Mingzhe rule, frugal and frugal, humble and virtuous, hard work, cover the royal six years and the world Yan Ru. The guests of the four descents are blessed by the trillions......
I am cool and virtuous, and I am rushing to the new year, but the life of God is Kong Yin, the foundation of the ancestors is the most important, and I am conscientious and sleepy, and I am afraid of it. Shang Lai's civil, military, pro-virtuous, and co-......"
Then he talked about a long amnesty and government arrangements, from the central center to the locality, from the Xungui Pavilion Department to Li Shushengdou, no matter how big or small, all in this, there are as many as 10,000 words.
There is no doubt that all of the above, from the manuscript itself to the arrangement of various affairs, were all led by Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Guo Pu, the second assistant, with the cooperation of the six Shangshu and Shilang, and other officials, and rushed out within a few days.
Otherwise, let alone the little emperor Zhu Yijun, even if he is pragmatic and pragmatic at the same age, he can't get it.
As for why there are only the first assistant and the second assistant, and there is no Zhang Juzheng, because Zhang Juzheng was sent to Tianshou Mountain to visit the mountain mausoleum of Emperor Daxing as soon as possible.
This is also a coincidence, Longqing has succeeded to the throne for several years, not to mention things year after year, the treasury was still very empty at the earliest, and it was not until last year that it was considered to be balanced. Gao Gong originally estimated that he could gradually accumulate this year, and he could start to think about preparing the Xuangong for the emperor, but who knew that the construction had not yet started, and the emperor was gone......
In other words, the emperor died, and the emperor's mausoleum was not even found.
How can this be? You can't let the emperor lie in Renshou Hall all the time without being buried! All the officials and scholars in the world have to fry the pot.
Therefore, the whole court must now regard the preparation of the mausoleum for the Daxing Emperor as a major and urgent matter, and it must be done quickly and well!
Such a big thing, of course, has to be supervised by a minister who ranks first to be solemn and solemn. Because the big drama of "Three Persuasions" must have Gao Gong, the first assistant leader, no one can replace him, and the second assistant Guo Pu temporarily took charge of the Beijing camp, as a backup hand to prevent changes in the center, so the heavy task of helping Emperor Daxing to spend the mountains and tombs had to be handed over to Zhang Juzheng.
This arrangement was suggested by Gao Pragmatic, and the reason was very simple - to transfer Zhang Juzheng away from the center as soon as possible, separate him from Feng Bao, and then take down Feng Bao first.
Taking down Feng Bao is not Gao Shipra's opinion, Gao Gong and Guo Pu have a consensus on this, because according to the convention, when the new monarch ascends the throne, he will generally change the palm seal of the master of ceremonies - usually replace the eunuch who the new monarch himself trusts the most.
Although the new monarch is young now, this rule may not change, so as soon as these recent ceremonial events are completed, the replacement of the palm seal of the celebrant is likely to be put on the agenda, and the cabinet or Gao Gong must take measures in advance.
However, it was obviously not only Gao Gong's uncle and nephew who knew that the situation was urgent, Feng Bao was obviously even more anxious about his situation.
As soon as the new monarch's enthronement ceremony was over, Feng Bao immediately launched an action.
In the Yongning Palace, Feng Bao did not have the prestige of the chief eunuch and the governor of Dongchang, and waited carefully for Concubine Li Guifei.
In the past few days, not only the new monarch Zhu Yijun and Gao Gong and others have been busy on tiptoe, but the queen and the imperial concubine have to do various ceremonial things such as crying, worshipping and keeping filial piety, and even the time to go back to Yongning Palace to rest is very short.
Seeing that Feng Bao was busy inside and out, Li Guifei was so tired that she was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but smile and shouted, "Feng Bao." ”
"The slave is here." Feng Bao hurriedly returned to Concubine Li at once, bowed down his hand, and was full of carelessness, like a little eunuch who had just entered the palace to serve the nobles.
Li Guifei raised her eyebrows and said: "You are the chief of the ceremonial supervisor, and you are the commander of the Dongchang, now the emperor has just succeeded to the throne, everything is busy, you are not busy with the ceremonial supervisor and the Dongchang, but you are always wandering around with me, what is the reason?" ”
Feng Bao had already responded to this question, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine Niangniang doesn't know, the slave maid originally went out from the mother's side, and she was the master's companion earlier, and she was not liked by the outer court, but now that the master has ascended the throne and become the emperor, if the slave and maid are restless, I am afraid that the outer court will have to find some reason to kill the slave and maid......"
Feng Bao showed a bitter face, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed vigorously and said: "Niangniang, please Niangniang for the sake of the slave and maid who have served for many years and can be regarded as dedication, transfer the slave and maid back to Niangniang, the slave and maid will not be the pen and factory supervisor of this Laoshizi, the slave and maid just want to serve the Niangniang in peace, and ask the Niangniang to be gracious!" ”
Concubine Li frowned and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, what do you mean that you went out from the palace and have been the emperor's companion, and the outer court doesn't like you?" Why, the people around Bengong and Jun'er are guilty? ”
Feng Baoyu cried and choked up: "I am innocent, but the outer court will not ask this...... Some people in the outer court hope that there is no one around the emperor and Niangniang, so that they can take over the government and control the government! ”
Li Guifei's face became stern, and she scolded: "There are some people in the outer court? Who are you talking about? ”
"Yes...... It's ......" Feng Bao looked cowardly, and said hesitantly: "Slave, slave and maid, slave and maid dare not say." ”
"Say! I tell you to speak, and you speak! Li Guifei's phoenix eyes were angry: "You slave, you don't even listen to the words of this palace?" ”
Feng Bao trembled, seemed to be startled, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, yes, the slave said, the slave said." ”
Li Guifei stared at him and watched without saying a word.
Feng Bao hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "Outer court...... The first auxiliary high arch, originally in the Daxing Emperor held heavy power, with the first auxiliary and in charge of the ministry, just like the ancient prime minister, civil and military officials are all afraid. When Emperor Daxing was there, he often regarded himself as an emperor, always thinking that he was a saint and did not take others in his eyes.
Emperor Daxing was benevolent and incomparable, thinking of the small merits of the high arch in the past, and every time he was rewarded, he hoped that he would understand the holy will and gradually improve. Who knew that he was pampered and arrogant, one chased Chen Songgu, the second chased Zhao Dazhou, the third chased Yin Tangchuan, and even forced away the former first assistant Li Shilu, whose heart of arbitrarily controlling politics is well known to passers-by! ”
When Feng Bao said this, he sighed, looked full of emotion, and said: "Although the slave and maid are not talented, they were also regarded as one of the hard-working students in the inner study in the past, and they were also highly praised by the emperor and the concubine. At the beginning, Emperor Daxing and Niangniang raised their love and appreciation, so that the slave maid was the master of ceremonies and the master of the East Factory......
At that time, the master of ceremonies had a lack of palm seals, and Gao Gong recommended Chen Hong in order to ensure that the power of the inner court did not endanger him, but it didn't take long for Chen Hong to be greedy; The celebrant was missing the palm print again, and at that time, ...... didn't hide it from the concubine Niangniang, even the slave maid herself thought that it would be the slave maid who had her palm print as usual, but as a result, Gao Gong still recommended Meng Chong for the previous reason.
The slave and maid themselves have nothing to say, but they feel that there is something strange in it, until one time later, the slave and maid went to the cabinet to do business, happened to meet the auxiliary minister Zhang Juzheng, and chatted with him for a few words, Zhang Ge Lao casually mentioned this matter, and the slave and maid knew that the original committee was ...... inside"
"Zhang Juzheng?" Li Guifei frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "What's the reason?" ”
