Chapter 41 The Establishment of the Emperor's Title
As soon as Zhu Cihong lived in the palace, the director of the Rear Foot Garment Bureau brought someone to measure his body in order to remake the dragon robe.
The director of the garment bureau is a woman in her 40s, who has been in charge of the Nanjing Garment Bureau for nearly ten years, and her craftsmanship is exquisite.
After measuring Zhu Cihong's body, the director of the Garment Bureau knelt down and whispered carefully: "Your Highness, because the dragon robe is too finely made, it is difficult to make it in a short time, and the time is pressing, so the dragon robe you wear at the enthronement ceremony three days later can only be restructured on the original dragon robe, and the degree of perfection may be lacking, I hope Your Highness can forgive me." ”
Zhu Cihong frowned, presumably the original dragon robe was prepared for King Fu, King Fu was over thirty years old, and he was only fifteen years old, the difference between the two figures was naturally huge, so his dragon robe should be restructured on the basis of King Fu.
"But rest assured, Your Highness, after the enthronement ceremony, the slave maid and everyone in the Garment Bureau will definitely rush to work day and night to make a new dragon robe for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will atone for your sins!" The director of the Garment Bureau saw Zhu Cihong frowning, and thought that Zhu Cihong wanted to cure her, so he hurriedly fell to the ground in a cold sweat, his body trembling.
"Get up, the prince can understand this matter, and he won't blame you, you just do your duty." Zhu Cihong rolled his eyes, a little dissatisfied. The frightened look of the director of the garment bureau made him look like a murderous and cruel unconscious king.
"Slave and maid, thank you for your grace! The slave and maid retired first. After getting Zhu Cihong's understanding, the head of the Garment Bureau suddenly relaxed, and after getting up, he hurriedly retreated, as if he was afraid that Zhu Cihong would regret it.
It's no wonder that the head of the garment bureau is so afraid, he is really frightened by King Fu these days, King Fu is brutal by nature, and there is a coldness all over his body, when he lives in the palace, many palace maids and eunuchs are likely to be killed as long as they make a small mistake, and the whole palace has long been panicked, and the garment bureau is in a corner of the palace, and has repeatedly gone to measure the body of King Fu, and has long been frightened, thinking that the people who are about to become emperors are so difficult to serve.
Although Zhu Cihong still had three days to succeed to the throne, at the request of the hundred officials, he had already begun to exercise the rights of the emperor, and early the next morning, before dawn, he had to get up to prepare for the morning court.
Lanxiang and Begonia's two personal palace maids served Zhu Cihong to dress, and two pairs of soft and white little hands caressed Zhu Cihong's body, which made people's hearts ripple slightly.
"Doesn't the Queen Mother need you to serve there?" Zhu Cihong asked.
"Back to Your Highness, the queen said that the two slaves and maids are Her Royal Highness's people, and they can't always be by her side, so they should come back and serve Your Highness well." The voices of the two little girls were soft, which made people itch in their hearts, and they really wanted to do something.
Swept the pretty faces of the two little girls, Zhu Cihong shook his head slightly, although the fourteen-year-old little girl is well developed, the concave place is concave, the place that should be warped is warped, and she looks extremely pretty and lovely, or the queen mother chose a good 'room' for him when she was in Beijing, the queen mother wished that he would quickly put her in the room, but the two little girls were still little girls after all, so he couldn't mention the interest in putting the face, it was too guilty, and it would take two years for him to get his hands on it.
"Your Highness, thank you for bringing the two slaves and maids to Nanjing City." After dressing Zhu Cihong, Lan Xiang suddenly whispered.
"It was you who served the prince well when you were in the capital, and besides, you are the little girl specially selected by the queen mother for the prince, you can be regarded as the prince's person, and it is also appropriate to bring you to Nanjing City." Zhu Cihong said indifferently.
Although Zhu Cihong didn't care about this matter, the two little girls of Lanxiang and Begonia didn't think so, they were really grateful to Zhu Cihong, after all, there were so many palace maids in the East Palace, many of them still watched Zhu Cihong grow up, but Zhu Cihong didn't bring anyone, but took her two.
Not to mention the careful thinking of the two little girls, after Zhu Cihong got dressed, he got on the Luan car and went to the Jinluan Palace to go to the morning court.
At this time, the time is close to the middle of the day, it is about four o'clock in the morning, the sky is not yet bright, along the way Zhu Cihong has to sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang's early court time is simply torturous, too inhumane, he, the prince is better, just get up at three o'clock in the morning, but many ministers are just after the early morning to get up, three o'clock in the morning to enter the noon gate into the palace, waiting in the Jinluan Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Zhu Cihong entered the Jinluan Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!" All the courtiers were divided into two columns, the left and right, and all bowed to the ground.
"Excuse me!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" All the ministers stood up.
Zhu Cihong looked down, and saw Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Ma Shiying at a glance, Gao Hongtu stood at the front on the left, and Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa stood on the right.
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" The eunuch Zhao Dequan shouted in his duck voice.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister has a plan to play." It was Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came out.
"Your Highness, now that the enthronement ceremony is approaching, the ministers ask Your Highness to set the emperor title in advance, so as not to have no emperor name available on the enthronement hall." Qian Qianyi said, and other ministers seconded the proposal.
Zhu Cihong nodded and asked, "That's reasonable, do you think it's better to use the name of Emperor He after this prince ascends the throne?" ”
The court discussed with each other, and after a while, Gao Hongtu came out and tried to say: "Your Highness, how about calling it 'Hongguang'?" ”
Zhu Cihong was slightly stunned, Emperor Hongguang? Isn't this the emperor name of the blessed king Zhu Yousong?
"Hiromitsu? This is the emperor name you gave to King Fu, right? The emperor has changed, but the emperor is too lazy to change, what does this mean? Zhu Cihong frowned and said dissatisfied.
To be honest, he didn't want to use the emperor name Hongguang at all, after all, the Hongguang Dynasty in history perished in more than a year, this omen was too unlucky, how could he be comfortable with it on his head.
"This..." There was silence below, none of the courtiers could speak, and Ma Shiying, who had previously supported King Fu's accession to the throne, broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that Zhu Cihong would suddenly attack him.
"The ministers are terrified!" Ma Shiying took the lead in kneeling, and then all the courtiers knelt down.
"Okay, get up, if you have something to say, don't fall to your knees without moving." Looking at the courtiers who were on their knees, Zhu Cihong was speechless, looking very awkward.
Ma Shiying wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, stood up, and kept silent, determined to be an invisible person first.
"I wonder what Emperor Name Your Highness wants to use?" Shi Kefa asked with a frown.
Zhu Cihong thought about it, after all, it was for himself, and it was likely that he would follow him for a lifetime, so he couldn't be hasty, he thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of one, and then said it.
"How about the name 'ZTE'? It means that Zhongxing Daming! ”
"Obey the edict of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Although I feel that it seems a little old-fashioned, Zhu Cihong just mentioned King Fu, at this time, everyone is afraid of being a bird, anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince uses it himself, and he can use whatever emperor name he wants.
"Your Highness, the minister thinks it's inappropriate! The meaning of ZTE is to symbolize the stability of the world and the meaning of the people having enough food and clothing, but if there is chaos today, Li Zicheng occupies the capital, and may go south at any time, the people are panicked, how can we see the image of ZTE? Shi Kefa actually had a different opinion, and he blatantly said it, obviously not giving face to Zhu Cihong, the prince, not only not giving face, but also a slap in the face.
Zhu Cihong asked with a dark face: "What emperor name does Elder Shi Ge think this prince should use?" ”
The ministers below laughed secretly in their hearts, sarcastically sarcastic Shi Kefa didn't know what to do, he was too upright, and he even thought of something to say, which obviously angered His Royal Highness the Prince, and there will be no good fruits to eat in the future.
Zhu Cihong was indeed not very comfortable, but the era name given to him by Shi Kefa made him almost vomit blood.
"Your Highness, the minister thinks that 'Shaowu' is suitable for Your Highness."
"Shaowu!" Zhu Cihong's tone was not smooth, Hongguang was already declining enough, but he had lived for more than a year, but Shaowu was only for a short month, isn't this a curse that he is a short-lived ghost?
Although Zhu Cihong knew that Shi Kefa was upright and would not beat around the bush, what to say, but such a person was really not suitable for the court, at least not for a high position like the military department, otherwise he would not be killed by Gao Hongtu and others, and he would be angry to death as a prince.
"Does Shi Ge Lao think that this prince is not worthy of the imperial name 'Zhongxing'? Or think that this prince does not have the ability to prosper the Ming Dynasty, or curse the Ming Dynasty to not be able to prosper! The more Zhu Cihong spoke, the more serious it became, and in the end, a few big hats were buttoned down.
Shi Kefa had already bowed to the ground and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't dare!" ”
"Humph!" Zhu Cihong smiled coldly: "The prince's intention has been decided, don't wait for more words, the word 'Zhongxing' is used by the prince, Daming Zhongxing is inevitable, this prince believes that the sky will not die in my Ming!" ”
After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he threw off his sleeves and left, along the way, Zhu Cihong thought that he must find an opportunity to put Shi Kefa in the court, and people like Shi Kefa are actually not suitable for intrigue in the court, but it is the most suitable for him to be the governor of a province, not only that he does not want to be angry with Shi Kefa all the time, but the most important thing is to protect him, after all, above the court, people who have always been too upright are often killed by others soon.
This opportunity came quickly.
