Yesterday afternoon, Guo Ming was released from the edict.

The last time Gao Chi ascended the throne, his persuasion was barely in time, just because he was hesitant; This time the king of Han was going to ascend the throne, and he wanted to persuade him without hesitation, but he delayed the time due to physical reasons.

Guo Ming was imprisoned for a long time. In prison, he wore shackles and chains, and the food he ate was watery and sometimes rancid, and he received little treatment when he was sick. In addition, he was accused of being involved in the crime of killing the king, and his heart was also worried every day. I was really physically and mentally wasted, and I suffered a lot.

As soon as the army of the King of Han entered the Beijing Division, Guo Ming was soon acquitted! There is no need for any reason, and the proof of his innocence is that his daughter was married to the king of Han; How could the biological father of King Han's wife be guilty?!

Guo Ming returned home, and the family members in the house were sent away (the other brothers of the Guo family were expelled back to their hometowns, and Guo Ming's family members exchanged for Guo Zi, and are still in the palace of the Huguang Han Palace), and the huge Wuding Marquis Mansion was defeated, leaving only a few old men to guard the door. Guo Ming's legs were chained for too long, a little lame, and it was difficult to walk at first; He was also very weak and sick, and when he first came home, he could barely move.

The hospital hurriedly sent several doctors to follow Guo Ming back to his home, diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine, and told him to recuperate.

But after Guo Ming ate, bathed and changed clothes, his physical strength recovered slightly, he gritted his teeth and got up, and began to write a persuasion form with difficulty. I didn't catch up with the hour last night, Guo Ming got up this morning and took a car to the imperial city.

And yet he didn't catch up! When he arrived at the Thousand Steps Corridor, he learned that the King of Han had promised to ascend the throne and be the emperor, and he would go to worship the ancestral tomb at this time!

Guo Ming was a little frustrated, there were officials who knew him in the Qianbu Corridor, and they were all good at persuading him, and he didn't need to persuade him.

…… On the 22nd day of the first month, after Zhu Gaoxu worshiped his ancestors, the officials of the Beijing Division were busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony. Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhu Gaoxu recognized that it was advisable to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so the enthronement ceremony was scheduled for the 23rd.

(It was agreed that on the 24th, the Temple of Heaven in the southeast outside the Zhengyang Gate and the altar of mountains and rivers in the south would be sacrificed to the heavens, so as to tell the heavens that Zhu Gaoxu would become the ruler of the world; And communicate with the gods of heaven and earth、Pray for the blessing of the unknown。 Of course, there is no god in this world, and it may not be said, but the main function of this matter is to declare a truth to mortals: the divine right of kings. ）

The preparations for ascending the throne were a bit hasty, and there was no emperor's uniform with Zhu Gaoxu's body, and it was definitely too late for temporary weaving. The eunuchs found out the gowns worn by the emperor and used them to wear on the ceremony.

In less than a decade, however, officials have already conducted two enthronement ceremonies; Now it's the third time. So everyone is still very skilled.

On the evening of the same day (22nd), Zhu Gaoxu still lived in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. He was guilty of the old problem again, and he was always prone to insomnia on the eve of major events; He didn't sleep well at all that night, and woke up countless times during the night. And now no one pays attention to this problem, and no one grinds pearl powder for him as carefully as Miaojin eats.

Zhu Gaoxu's mood is very complicated, mainly excited and novel. As soon as he "arrived" in the Ming Dynasty, he was a vassal king, and the essence of the prince of the county was almost the same, and he had long been accustomed to it; But to be a genius in the world, I really wasn't very ready!

In the early morning of the 23rd, Zhu Gaoxu was not in good spirits after getting up, and was a little dazed at first. But fortunately, he doesn't have to worry much about such a ceremony, everything is arranged by the officials.

The eunuchs served him to bathe and change his clothes, and changed into the emperor's robes. The dress was similar to the one he wore at his wedding, with a shaky crown over his head, somewhat like the one on a netherworld.

However, the stamps of the dark clothes and the bright red clothes are more complicated, with the sun, moon, stars, dragons, insects and other things. Zhu Gaoxu has never been interested in asking what it means, but it seems that so many things are embroidered, presumably to claim the infinity of imperial power? Tube the sky, the ground, and the air!

There are only a few processes, not many things, but a lot of meaning.

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the hall of the Ministry of Rites in his uniform, and the civil and military officials were already waiting in the lobby and in the courtyard. So everyone hugged Zhu Gaoxu out of the lobby, took a car, and went to Taimiao first.

The ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were officially worshipped, not in the family temple of the palace, but outside the palace and inside the imperial city. The temple is located on the east side of the end gate, and it enshrines the portraits of the deceased relatives of the Zhu family who are worthy of enjoying the temple, as well as the spiritual seat.

Zhu Gaoxu followed the instructions of the officials of Honglu Temple, bowed to the spiritual seat and prayed.

Then everyone left the temple. When people walked to the road inside the end gate, the crowd did not go to the palace, but went south first, led by the officials of Honglu Temple. A large crowd surrounded Zhu Gaoxu and came to Chengtianmen.

Hundreds of people stopped at the foot of the Chengtianmen Tower, and only Zhu Gaoxu was allowed to go upstairs alone, and he couldn't even bring his entourage. The official of Honglu Temple bowed close and whispered: "The Holy One must go out of his mind and talk to the heavens, but he can't make a sound. Only the Holy One can hear the voice of heaven, and the world cannot hear it. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: So amazing?

But when Zhu Gaoxu went to the city tower to hook up with the heavens, he could say responsibly: The heavens had no response!

Maybe there is a way of heaven in this world, an unknown law? But if you don't become an emperor, you will definitely be able to understand the way of heaven.

Zhu Gaoxu looked like he was thinking about something, but he didn't hear anything. He found it extremely difficult to ascend to the throne, so he tried to adjust his mentality and talk to the Divine with devotion and concentration, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Of course, these things don't matter, after all, there are no two kings in the world, and only Zhu Gaoxu knows what is going on. Whether there was a response from heaven or what he said, he didn't have to explain it to mortals.

A group of people left the Chengtian Gate and finally walked north, coming to the Fengtian Temple.

More officials have arrived, as well as the musicians of the Teaching Workshop Division, plus the soldiers and guards, there are at least tens of thousands of people inside and outside the Fengtian Palace! Only those with status and necessary personnel were allowed to enter the Fengtian Temple, and most people could only stand in the square outside. All kinds of intricate ritual utensils are arranged.

The whip sounded for the first time outside the hall, and then the grand court music sounded. Under the attention of everyone, Zhu Gaoxu slowly walked towards the Fengtian Hall with his head held high, he couldn't leave, the gown on his body was inconvenient to move, and the crown on his head was even more careful; It turns out that the beads that hang on the head like bangs and shake are this function, that is, the person wearing this kind of hat can't walk fast, so that it looks calm and atmospheric!

In the sound of grand ceremonial music, Zhu Gaoxu walked towards the largest building in the world. His heart was "fluttering", and it was the first time to experience such a great gift of the highest etiquette and to receive high awe, which was very exciting and exciting.

For a long time, his mind was almost blank, and he didn't know what to think, only inexplicably strong excitement.

After entering the Fengtian Temple, the high throne directly above appeared in front of him. Zhu Gaoxu continued to walk this way from among the hundred officials in the main hall and ascended to that position.

Zhu Gaoxu faced the throne of the dragon chair, glanced at it, then turned around to face the south, then took a deep breath and slowly sat down!

It's as if there's electricity on this throne! Zhu Gaoxu felt numb all over his body, and his brain was also agitated, and his face was red. The heart is indescribably excited, comfortable. It was simply the most comfortable chair he'd ever sat in, and it seemed to be made just for him!

Maybe it's not that there's anything special about this dragon chair, but the key is the psychological feeling, which means too many things.

After an instant, Zhu Gaoxu carefully raised his hands and slowly put them on the armrests, he sat down with his head raised and his chest up, and a strong feeling of suffocation surged into his body.

This dragon chair was high up, and the people in the seats looked down, and they could see the demeanor of everyone in the entire Fengtian Hall clearly. And the people standing below did not dare to look up at the emperor.

When the officials of Honglu Temple saw that Zhu Gaoxu was sitting firmly, they began to sing. Then the whip sounded again outside the temple.

The hundred officials in the Fengtian Temple, the civil and military officials, soldiers, and eunuchs in the square outside all knelt on the ground one after another and bowed to the ground. Countless people shouted in a very rhythmic voice: "Bow to the Holy One, long live the Holy One, long live, long live!" ”

At this time, Hu Guang, an official of the Hanlin Academy, walked out, picked up the prepared edict from the case on one side, walked to the side of the throne, and sang: "The edict of the new emperor to ascend the throne!" ”

It was only at this time that Zhu Gaoxu recovered a little from his state of excitement and blank mind. An indescribable feeling, which had been suppressed before, now came to my heart like a flood that burst its banks.

This location, it's really too difficult!

How many battles Zhu Gaoxu fought and how many people died in Huangquan to get to where he is today, not to mention that he was born as an emperor's grandson. During the Yongle period, he was already a prince, and he seemed to be only one step away from the emperor; However, it was this step that became the most difficult step.

At first, he wanted to compete with his brother for the crown prince, but Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to give up the competition, and chose to retreat as advance and pay attention to the path of strength cultivation. As it turned out, he was right!

The eldest son and the second son are just a little bit different, it's just that they were born a little earlier and later. Zhu Gaoxu knew that this point of fame was not so simple.

In terms of the right to inherit the throne, this title is one of the most important, and there is no one! It was not at all a weakness that could be made up for by any military merit or ability, and Zhu Gaoxu did not have the slightest chance to fight for it at that time...... If there is, it's all an illusion! Because the identities of the two brothers are too similar, it is easy to cause misjudgment.

In order to make up for this weakness, Zhu Gaoxu endured until the death of Emperor Yongle and launched a military rebellion to resist by force. After two years of heroic and bloody battles among the soldiers, coupled with Zhu Gaoxu's good luck, he survived many Jedi battles, and finally came to this position.

It was not easy to come by, and he gradually began to think in his heart that he had finally obtained the power, and what should Yongle do in the future. In addition to making yourself happy, it seems that you should do more meaningful things to be worthy of the soldiers who died in battle and worthy of your own struggle!
