Chapter 465: Taichang succeeds to the throne

Emperor Wanli shook his head and said: "If it is so simple, I don't have to worry about it, Guo Zhiyuan has repeatedly made great contributions, if he is punished without asking, wouldn't it make the world laugh at you for being mediocre and self-defeating, and Fujian is far away from the capital, he wants to have a counterintention, but I am afraid that your holy decree has not arrived, but will force him to rebel, and then the north will not be peaceful, and the south will be in danger again, will my Ming Dynasty not be in danger?!" ……”

Zhu Changluo was shocked into a cold sweat, and said with a smile: "It's still the father and the emperor, the son is not thoughtful, and he almost made a big mistake, so according to his father's opinion, how to deal with this Guo Zhiyuan?" ……”

Emperor Wanli thought about it, a trace of fierceness flashed on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "After you succeed to the throne, you will immediately issue an order for Guo Zhiyuan to go to Beijing to worship the new monarch, if he does not come, he will be disloyal, and then you will eradicate it at all costs, and never suffer in the future!" ……”

Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "It's still my father's thoughtfulness, if Guo Zhiyuan doesn't come, it's a protest, I can justifiably ask him for guilt, if he comes, he will completely fall into my control, and whether to kill or not to kill is only in my thoughts!" ……”

He didn't notice that Emperor Wanli's eyes slowly lost their light, and his breathing slowly stopped, the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who created the "Wanli Zhongxing" but was scolded as a faint emperor because he did not go to court for 28 years, the emperor who fought for half his life for the issue of establishing a prince and the civil official group, with the world's controversy against him, with the unwillingness to reality, with regret for his lover, he quietly left this world!

Zhu Changluo didn't hear Emperor Wanli speak again, then he woke up, stretched out his hand and probed under Wanli's nose, there was no breath, his hand shrank suddenly, but his heart jumped wildly, he finally came out! Finally, I don't have to live that day of fear every day! Finally, you don't have to pretend to be cautious in front of people like a masked man!

He stood up suddenly, closed his eyes, opened his arms, felt the air of freedom, felt the pride of coming to the world, and after a long time, he reopened his eyes, put on a sad and solemn expression, walked out of the Wanli dormitory calmly, and said sadly to Fang Congzhe and others who were still kneeling outside the door waiting for news: "My father has died!" ……”

On July 21, the 48th year of Wanli (1620), Emperor Wanli died. On the first day of August, the crown prince Zhu Changluo officially ascended the throne as the emperor, granted amnesty to the world, and announced that the following year would be changed to Taichang!

Before Zhu Changluo officially ascended the throne, on July 22, that is, the day after the death of the Wanli Emperor, he issued four holy decrees, the first holy decree was to allocate 2 million taels of silver from the inner treasury to reward the soldiers of the eastern border army of Liaodong, the second holy decree was to remove the mining tax and the tax, and withdraw the mining tax envoy, and the third holy decree was to enable Liu Yijing, Han Kuang, Zhou Jiamo, Zou Yuanbiao, Sun Ruyou and other old ministers who were abandoned by the Wanli Emperor, among which Liu Yijing and Han Kuang were members of the cabinet of Dongge University scholars, Zhou Jiamo was the secretary of the ministry, and Zou Yuanbiao was the Dali Temple. Sun Ruyou is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and most of these people are Donglin Party members!

As soon as the first three holy decrees came out, the government and the opposition were naturally moved, all called Shengming, and the Donglin Party people shouted that the Ming Dynasty was hopeful, and the day of national peace and security was coming!

And Zhu Changluo's fourth holy decree is a bit intriguing, summoning Guo Zhiyuan, the deputy envoy of the Fujian Sea Road, to Beijing to mourn and worship the new monarch, Guo Zhiyuan is neither a feudal official, nor a relative of the emperor, why just call him into Beijing to mourn? The holy decree also explained, saying that Emperor Wanli attached great importance to Guo Zhiyuan during his lifetime and was very favored, so he specially summoned him to Beijing to mourn.

Of course, such an explanation can only blind those who don't know the inside story, and the discerning person knows at a glance that this is the new successor Emperor Taichang who is suspicious of Guo Zhiyuan and wants to do something to him, so when the cabinet drafted the decree, the first assistant Fang Congzhe also specifically asked Emperor Taichang what if Guo Zhiyuan refused to enter Beijing by order?

Emperor Taichang didn't say anything, and directly threw out another secret decree, if Guo Zhiyuan refused to enter Beijing by order, then he immediately mobilized troops from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces to besiege and kill Guo Zhiyuan with all his might! Fang Congzhe sighed in his heart, it seems that Emperor Taichang has made up his mind to make a move on Guo Zhiyuan! But if Guo Zhiyuan refuses to enter Beijing by order, the south is about to fight again, this is not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty! However, Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, is a soft man, and he does not dare to persuade the ambitious Emperor Taichang who has just succeeded to the throne, and Liu Yijing, Han Kuang and other Donglin party members in the current cabinet also advocate cutting through the chaos quickly, so he can only arrange it according to Emperor Taichang's will.

Not to mention Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, even the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team also saw that the newly succeeded Emperor Taichang was suspicious of Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan entered Beijing this time, and persuaded him not to enter Beijing, but this time Guo Zhiyuan was unexpectedly happy, and immediately agreed to enter Beijing to condole after receiving the holy decree, and the action was very fast, and he received the holy decree on the same day, and he left on the same day!

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan will not tell the backbone of the team that the ambitious Emperor Taichang is a short-lived ghost, and he hiccups after being the emperor for a month in the original historical time and space, what do you have to worry about?

I don't have a good impression of Zhu Changluo, the Taichang Emperor Guo Zhiyuan, when he saw him when he played the "Demon Book Case", although he had a lot of sympathy for this short-lived emperor in the official history. color, "History of the Ming Dynasty" also praised him and said: Guangzong has long been virtuous, and the sea is hopeful. And the heir serves for a month, and the day does not leave the year. The measures were not carried out, and the three cases were disputed. The party's calamity is blazing, but it's sad! Even many modern historians believe that Zhu Changluo has the potential to be a Ming monarch, and if he did not die early, perhaps the situation in the Ming Dynasty would not be so bad.

But in Guo Zhiyuan's opinion, those who say that Zhu Changluo is a Ming monarch are purely kicked in the head by a donkey, why did Zhu Changluo only be a short-lived emperor for a month? Because of overindulgence! Historical records record that after he succeeded to the throne, he was almost a groom every night, the highest record of the night royal seven daughters, you must know that at this time the Wanli Emperor had just died, the bones were not cold, Zhu Changluo was still in the period of filial piety, according to the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty, the period of filial piety is not possible. Fang's, Zhu Changluo can't wait to indulge in lust is something that a Ming Jun will do? This is clearly a standard dumb monarch's behavior!

Someone will definitely say that men are good. color, the true character of a hero, Zhu Changluo has been suppressed by Emperor Wanli for a long time, and it is understandable that he does not dare to indulge in it, so is it a bit arbitrary to say that he is a faint monarch? Okay, who sent him the beauty of Zhu Changluo's Night Imperial Seventh Maiden? Zheng Guifei! For a woman who has been suppressing herself and causing her biological mother to cry blind and die depressed, Zhu Changluo has a little brain, so he should also be vigilant, right? But Zhu Changluo happily accepted it!
