Chapter 3: Enthronement (2)

Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Song Jin, the commander of Dongchang, had already led their subordinates to arrange the Wenhua Hall very carefully at this time. Zhu Youxiao was in front, followed by thirteen ministers, and then waiting outside the door were the hundreds of officials of Wendong and Wuxi, and the rest of the idle people were not allowed to enter.

"All the officials have been gathered, the world cannot be without a king for a day, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne." A minister of care said.

"Wait a minute", at this time an official stepped forward, "My Ming Dynasty is a great country, how can the Son of Heaven ascend the throne be child's play, the new emperor must choose a good day to ascend the throne, and worship the heavens and ancestors before ascending the throne."

Zhu Youxiao looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the person who spoke was Yang Lian in the matter, in history, it was because of Yang Lian's insistence that Zhu Youxiao could ascend the throne on the sixth day of the ninth month, and a lot of things happened in these days, Zhu Youxiao was almost killed, and now Yang Lian really appeared again as in history.

"Recruit the people of the Heavenly Prison", Zhu Youxiao didn't want to make any extraneous branches at this time, but he couldn't say that he had to do it today, so it seemed that he couldn't wait.

After a while, the people of Qin Tianjian arrived, can you not be happy, there is no trivial matter in the royal family, let alone a major event in which the new emperor ascends the throne. The leader was an old Zhu Youxiao, who didn't know how old Qin Tianjian was, and a few deputies.

"This palace will be about to ascend the throne, Qin Tianjian, see what good days there are recently." Zhu Youxiao looked at Qin Tianjian lightly and said.

"Back to Your Highness, the minister has checked this matter, the sixth day of the ninth month is a good day, and His Highness can set the day of his enthronement on the sixth day of the ninth month." Qin Tianjian replied respectfully.

"Lord Yang", Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian, "What do you think of this matter?" I would like to discuss with the ministers and how to do this, and I would like to hear your opinions."

"The minister thinks that the sixth day of the ninth month is fine", probably Yang Lian didn't realize that there was any problem, so he replied casually.

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly in his heart, saying that the inertia of history is still very large, and it seems that what should happen will happen, since Zhu Youxiao has gone through so many things and ascended to the throne, compared to how much he knows the process of the development of some things, he should be able to ascend the throne smoothly if he is careful in everything.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was about to recognize this matter and let it develop according to the trajectory of history, a person rushed out from the side, and he ran straight towards Yang Lian.

"Yang Lian, I always thought you were an understanding person, but I didn't expect you to become a fool today. Did you get your head caught in the door panel, or did you let the donkey kick it, did it get into the water? The person who came was unceremonious, pointing at Yang Lian and scolding.

Oh, Zhu Youxiao seems to be the person who patrols the city of the Imperial Palace, Zuo Guangdou, and it seems that things have changed, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Lord Zuo, if you have something to say, why are you so unreasonable?" Zhu Youxiao said.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister has a few words to say to Lord Yang, because the two of us are close friends, and I see him making trouble today, so I don't have so many scruples." Zuo Guangdou said.

"Our Ming Dynasty has always been open to speech, and even the emperor cannot block the way of speech. Even if the official is wrong, he cannot be held accountable. However, there should be no rudeness in the main hall, and there is something to say slowly." Zhu Youxiao knows that the so-called Donglin Party members in the clear stream, the so-called wind bones, belong to the donkey, the more you let him speak slowly, the more anxious he will be, that is, the so-called "holding and not leaving, fighting back", can only be coaxed well, give some good grass and good material to eat.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness", Zuo Guangdou was still angry at Yang Lian.

"Yang Lian, Yang Lian, did you let the donkey kick your head today? Today is the first day of the ninth month, and there are still six days before the sixth day of the ninth month. Where will Your Highness stay tonight, and will you vacate your house? ”

Speaking of which, Yang Lian also seemed to feel that there was something wrong. Yes, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to ascend the throne, it is impossible to return to the East Palace, and the Qianqing Palace is still occupied by Li Xuanzhi, will He send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the Qianqing Palace, and this kind of forcing the palace to rob the prince will happen again? Look at Li Xuanshi's attitude, if he doesn't grab the position of the queen mother, he will definitely not give up. Thinking of this, Yang Lian only felt that the cool breeze was swishing behind him, and he was covered in cold sweat.

"Let me ask you, is today a good day", Yang Lian rushed to Qin Tianjian and passed, "Can His Highness have time to ascend the throne today." ”

Qin Tianjian was stunned in his heart, and his heart was broken, saying that he could ascend the throne on a good day, and if something happened in the future, he would not be able to tell clearly, and if he said that it was not a good day, he would offend the minister.

"Your Highness, today is the day of the death of the former emperor." Qin Tianjian Zheng decided to hand over the decision to Zhu Youxiao and the ministers, even if he was derelict in his duties, it was better than losing his head, and Qin Tianjian was already ready to go home and farm.

"Your Highness, the change of the four seasons this year has turned from extremely hot to cold, and extremely cold to warm. For example, when there is a sunrise, there is a sunset. Since this emperor is the son of heaven, he should follow the will of heaven. Today, the emperor died, then it is like the extreme heat turns cold, no one can go against the sky, let the sky stop, then the extreme cold will turn warm. It's like the sun goes down today, there must be a sunrise tomorrow, and no one can stop the sun from coming out for six days, so there is a saying that the world cannot be without a king for a day. Today is the day of the emperor's great trip, that is, the emperor chose a good day to travel and travel west. At the same time, it was also a good day for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne, and the emperor had chosen today, so could it be a good day today? Your Highness, please ascend the throne immediately. "What no one expected, this Qin Tianjian deputy spoke at this time, and he also said it to a complete and complete way, without leakage.

Talented, really talented, really talented. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think in his heart. It seems that there is no shortage of smart people in this world. Yes, the emperor is also known as the Son of Heaven, then he represents God, no one can stop God's arrangement, today's day was chosen by the emperor himself, no one can say that today is not a good day. Absolutely, absolutely.

"Okay, it's today", Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou shouted in unison.

At the same time, the first assistant Fang Congzhe, the second assistant Han Yi and other ministers fell to their knees, and shouted long live: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne today."

After the ceremony, the ministers accompanied Zhu Youxiao back to Ciqing Palace.

At this time, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, Li Xuanzhi is still living in the Qianqing Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally lived in Ciqing Palace, and will live in Qianqing Palace after ascending the throne today, but what if Li Xuanzhi doesn't move out? ”

The first assistant Fang Congzhe, Zhang Wenda, and Li Ruhua said that the Son of Heaven was young and had neither a mother nor a biological mother, so Li Xuanzhi could continue to live in the Qianqing Palace in order to take care of him.

Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party Qingliu came out in a rage, and then went to the Qianqing Palace: the selection of the servant is neither a mother-in-law nor a biological mother, so he can live in the Qianqing Palace for a long time. The Qianqing Palace is the place where the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Son of Heaven live, how can you occupy it. Today, the son is sixteen years old, and he is already an adult, and he is taken care of by loyal and old eunuchs, and assisted by shrewd and capable ministers outside. The Son of Heaven is young and vigorous, and his blood is strong, isn't he afraid of the discussion of the Empress Wu when he chooses a servant?

Li Xuanzhi was furious after receiving the excerpt, and directly sent Li Jinzhong to enter Ciqing Palace with the excerpt.

"Slave Li Jinzhong participates in Your Majesty." Li Jinzhong's face was still red and swollen, and he knelt down and saluted Zhu Youxiao when he entered the door.

"Li Jinzhong, whose slave are you?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a cold face.

Li Jinzhong was so frightened that his body trembled, and he knelt down and said, "Of course, the slave is the servant of His Highness." Just now the slave wanted to escort His Highness to the Wenhua Palace, but he didn't expect to go too fast, but he ran into His Highness's dragon body, please punish His Highness, the slave will never give up, please don't drive the slave out, the slave has been serving you for so many years, and it is really inseparable from you. ”

Li Jinzhong kowtowed while pleading guilty, and his head was wrapped. In fact, Li Jinzhong understood why he was beaten from the moment he was beaten, or he would not have become the later Wei Zhongxian.

Hey, this guy reacts really fast enough, don't complain that these guys from the Donglin Party can't fight him, it seems that this guy is not only thick-skinned, but also very fast.

"Bengu asked you, what is the matter with you seeing Bengu now?" Zhu Youxiao asked lightly.

Li Jinzhong took out the fold, took it with his hand, and handed it to Zhu Youxiao, and then smiled awkwardly, because he remembered that Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to read at all, but he didn't know that Zhu Youxiao was a modern young intellectual, but most of these traditional Chinese characters were recognized.

Thinking that although Li Jinzhong was the later discredited, powerful, and evil-doering bastard Wei Zhongxian, he was not the original Zhu Youxiao now, and he would use this guy to clean up those self-righteous and selfish Donglin Party members in the future and still be a useful talent, so he planned to keep him.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Li Jinzhong, you yourself still know that you are a slave of the palace, you have followed the palace for many years, and today I will no longer pursue your behavior, you can do it yourself, but you have to know, you have to contribute to the palace in the future, remember that the palace is your master, and know what you should do." Otherwise, huh, do you understand? ”

"Wang An, Li Jinzhong, you two come to the inner room with the palace." Then Zhu Youxiao took the two of them into the inner room.
