Chapter 447: The Ministers Persuade Forward

It's lively, no, you shouldn't use such a word, it looks very disrespectful, but now, Zhang Fan feels that only these four words can best reflect it.

In short, the lively emperor's funeral ceremony, these seven days have finally passed, for some people, these seven days are really quite difficult, this seven consecutive days, every morning to get up early, to return late at night, kneeling in the palace and crying, this is not something ordinary people can bear.

Even if someone is really sincere, has great respect for the royal family, and worships Longqing is five-body throw, but this kind of person can cry for two or three days at most, let him continue to cry for three or five days, it is really a little impossible.

As for those princes and county lords who came to Beijing to pay their respects, it doesn't matter, after all, the Ming Dynasty is the dynasty with the most princes, although they don't have any great rights, but even so, the Ming Dynasty has become the dynasty with the most rebellions among the princes, but there is no second one who can reach the height of Chengzu Zhu Di.

But even so, the Ming royal family still unconditionally raises these idlers, and wastes a lot of food and money in the imperial court every year.

It's just that who knows, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will have such a holy edict to descend, just because he lived a poor life when he was a child, he was too poor, so as an emperor, he didn't want to see his relatives starving and freezing anymore.

Anyway, in short, there are countless vassal kings in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention those county kings and county lords, although these people are each here, they have to pretend, but fortunately, there are a large number of them, and it is a great gift to worship the emperor Yan Jia, which is very cumbersome.

So many people come and go, everyone is coy, delay a little time, these seven days seem to be a lot of time, in fact, in the end it is also tight, just enough for everyone who is qualified to enter the temple to enter.

But the seven days of the funeral are also over.

After the funeral, things don't seem to be much, but everything is extremely cumbersome.

After the emperor's funeral, it should be buried, which is called "Azusa Palace".

The mausoleum "booked" for Longqing is in the Zhaoling Tomb in the southwest of the Imperial Mausoleum, originally, the emperor repaired the mausoleum, many of which have been started since the day the emperor ascended the throne, but the work of building the mausoleum is mostly based on the emperor's physical fitness to determine the speed and slowness, the emperor is in good health, and the repair is slow; The mausoleum of the sick Yangzi Emperor was naturally repaired quickly.

However, the emperor is also a human being, and people have good and bad fortunes, which no one can say, therefore, the construction speed of the mausoleum in the early stage is very fast, but in the later stage, it will slow down, in case the emperor has something good, he can also speed up the completion of the speed, so as not to cause any trouble.

However, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the number of lives is really not easy to ponder, some can drag the sick body to be an emperor for decades, and some seem to be good, but they may die one day.

Therefore, this Azusa Palace is always uneasy for craftsmen.

In ancient times, the emperor's burial period was naturally stipulated, "the Son of Heaven was buried in seven days, and the burial in July" is such a saying, but the burial period of the emperor or queen of the Ming Dynasty has never had such a statement.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Xiaoling seven days after his death, but there were also things that the emperor had not been buried for several months after his death.

In short, according to the regular procedure now, it should be here, but there is no regular term for this matter, so it can only be put aside.

However, if the emperor is not buried, it does not mean that all other things cannot be done, and the most important point is that the country cannot be without a king for a day.

The emperor died, but this huge empire did not perish, the court raised hundreds of officials, not for them to eat, the whole world can not always be in this kind of grief, the top priority, let the heir emperor succeed to the throne.

This is the so-called supreme deity.

And now, it has reached this juncture.

On the third day after the funeral, the civil and military officials persuaded Zhu Yijun to ascend the throne and succeed him as the new emperor.

That's when something happened again.

On this day, the representatives of the ministers, six cabinet ministers, and six Shangshu jointly met and asked Zhu Yijun to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne.

And the location is on the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

On the Imperial Palace, the huge hall is very deserted, there is no one these days, and now, there are only these dozens of people, and there is no "lively" atmosphere of the early dynasty on weekdays, but even if it is deserted, what is discussed here is the most important thing in the feudal dynasty era.

Zhu Yijun was only the crown prince at this time, and he could only sit under the throne, but Zhu Yijun didn't have the heart to sit, just stood there.

Behind the main hall, Concubine Li Guifei was sitting there, originally, there should be this queen here, but the queen obviously had no interest in such a thing as regent, and she didn't have any ability, so she didn't come over.

In the main hall, Zhang Fan and Feng Bao were also there.

"You ...... do this" Zhu Yijun's expression was not happy at this time, after all, Long Qing had only died not long ago, and now these people forced him to ascend the throne, which made Zhu Yijun's heart not very happy.

"Your Highness's thoughts, Wei Chen and the others understand in their hearts," Gao Gong stood up first and said, "But the country cannot be without a king for a day, if His Highness refuses to ascend the throne for a long time, the court will be in chaos, and when the time comes, the people of the world will be uncontrolled, and they don't know what will happen,"

In the face of Gao Gong's "sensationalism", although the others did not express it on their faces, they all despised him in their hearts, but the words that Gao Gong said were not too nonsense, and no one brought them up.

Everyone present understands that Longqing's words entrusted to Gao Gong on the occasion of his departure have long been spread throughout the government and the opposition, and no one knows it, no one knows it, and everyone understands Gao Gong's eagerness to hope that Zhu Yijun will ascend the throne.

Zhu Yijun was a little helpless when he heard Gao Gong say this, he knew that this would happen sooner or later, and he couldn't hide from it, even more, before he came here today, Li Guifei had talked to him, although he didn't point it out clearly, but that's what it meant.

Looking at Zhang Fan, Zhu Yijun found that Zhang Fan also nodded slightly towards him, and sighed helplessly, Zhu Yijun finally nodded.

Seeing that Zhu Yijun agreed, everyone present laughed, of course, the happiest was naturally Gao Gong.

Although he has not yet officially ascended the throne, it is natural to salute the future new emperor, but just as everyone was about to bow down and shout long live, a voice interrupted the action.

"Wait,"

Everyone was shocked by this sound, and when they looked at it, they found that it was Feng Bao who spoke.

"Feng Bao, what do you want to do," Gao Gong saw Feng Bao, who was the most unhappy with him, and immediately shouted, "How can there be any place for you to interject at this time,"

"Lord Gao, our family is also doing things for Your Majesty, why bother," Feng Bao didn't look unhappy at all in the face of Gao Gong's reprimand, and said calmly.

"Your Majesty," Gao Gong was stunned when he heard the word.

"That's right," Feng Bao said, then walked to the center of the main hall with a brocade box, took out a roll of things from the brocade box, and said in a loud voice, "Now, we see that we have to read out His Majesty's edict,"

"The ...... Testament," Gao Gong was suddenly shocked.

The other ministers who heard it were also amazed.

But Zhang Fan didn't, he had already guessed what Feng Bao must have done, but he didn't expect that there would be an edict.

Yes, the people present, except for those few insiders, I'm afraid no one expected.

There is a question in the hearts of these people at this moment, why did Longqing make an edict, this is completely unreasonable.

After all, Zhu Yijun, as the prince of Longqing, is the oldest one, and he is also the one who has been really named the prince, and Longqing also has a prince Zhu Yijun, who is now less than a year old, it is obvious that no matter how the throne turns, it is Zhu Yijun's.

For such an inevitable thing, it is obviously a little redundant to make another edict.

Moreover, the most important point, like the formulation of this kind of holy decree, must be done in the presence of cabinet scholars, Gao Gong, as the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, is the person who must be present, even in the days when he was returned home by Xu Jie, he has not heard Guo Pu mention this matter after he returned, so now that Feng Bao has taken out a testament, how can he not make Gao Gong suspicious.

But now Gao Gong doesn't dare to say that the edict is fake, and there is Li Guifei sitting behind, everyone knows this, but now Li Guifei doesn't say anything, can it be ...... This edict was quietly made by Longqing.

Even if it is true, everyone can't figure out what is written in it, just like I said before, now Zhu Yijun is the only one who is qualified and qualified to ascend the throne, even if it is an edict, can he say any tricks.

However, Zhu Yijun, facing the thing that Feng Bao suddenly took out, did not show any panic at all, his face was not red, his breath was not panting, everything was as usual, as if he was full of confidence, or he didn't care if there was anything unfavorable to him written in the edict.

But Zhang Fan is different, after he heard the word edict, he kept thinking about it in his mind, in such a short period of time, Zhang Fan had already thought of a possibility, but he was not sure yet.

Without saying a word, Feng Bao had already opened the edict and read it.

At the beginning, it was all about scenes, saying that Longqing, the emperor, had done something wrong and what was wrong, which didn't matter, and it wasn't in the scope of everyone's attention.

But when Feng Bao read the last sentence, everyone present was stunned.

"Sure enough," this is Zhang Fan's idea.

And on the side of the high arch, it has already begun to shout "impossible",
