On the third day of the second month of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, the square in front of the Huangji Palace was full of civil and military officials in the capital wearing crown uniforms, solemn and neat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Guided by five eunuchs, Li Zhi walked through the square through these civil and military officials.

Today in the Huangji Palace, the canonization ceremony of the king of Tianjin will be held.

Li Zhi had heard about what happened on Donghua Street half a month ago, and when he walked all the way at this time, he found that he didn't see a single Jinyi guard. The person in charge of guarding the Forbidden City became Dongchang Fanzi wearing a green coat and a high hat.

seems to feel that Fanzi's original costume is not atmospheric enough, and Fanzi is draped with a unicorn embroidered shoulder cover on his shoulders, which makes Fanzi look much more majestic.

The eyes of those civil officials looking at Li Zhi were also a little different. Although Li Zhi was promoted all the way before, the civil officials dared to look at Li Zhi angrily, and they couldn't wait to come up and tear Li Zhi apart. However, after the massacre in front of the Ming Gate a few days ago, the civil officials in the court suddenly became a lot more honest.

Even if the civil officials still hated Li Zhi, they were afraid of the methods of the Son of Heaven and did not dare to show it. The officials in the square looked at Li Zhi's gaze, and they all cringed a little.

After all, Li Zhi was just a prince of the country before, even if he killed people's heads, the civil officials were still unconvinced, and they all felt that they could confront Li Zhi. However, now that the Son of Heaven has taken control of the imperial court, bloodbathed Donglin, and supported Li Zhi everywhere, these civil officials finally know what to fear.

Li Zhi smiled and walked all the way forward in those cowering and cowardly eyes.

His Majesty has set up ten "Treasure Book Pavilions" outside the Imperial Palace, and there are five "Treasure Book Cases" inside the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace was also full of court dignitaries wearing crown robes.

Seeing that Li Zhi finally came in, the civil officials and bigwigs all looked at their noses and noses, and tried not to look at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi killed civil officials all the way, and today he became the king of the county. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to posthumously crowning the dead prince with a different surname as the king of the county, there has never been a living king with a different surname. Li Zhi is only thirty-two years old now, and he has become the king of the Ming Dynasty. So in a few years, what height will Li Zhi reach in the end? Do you want to live to be crowned a prince?

Is this Li Zhi really descending from the stars? The gentry and civil officials of the world pulled Li Zhi down together, but they couldn't shake him at all. He went higher and higher like a rocket into the sky, and he wanted to take away all the privileges and glory of the gentry of the world.

If today's son favors Li Zhi so much and controls the imperial court, the hundred officials in the imperial court will not be able to shake Li Zhi in the future. The struggle between the gentry and Li Zhi could only be counted on by the Jiangbei Army.

The civil officials and bigwigs have mixed feelings in their hearts, but they dare not speak out.

According to the "Ming Huidian", the canonization ceremony of the county king is very complicated, not only in the imperial palace to salute, but also to perform the temple before, there is a whole set of steps. At this time, Li Zhi participated in only the second half of the ceremony.

The big drum outside the Imperial Palace was beaten by the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and it sounded three times in a row, "The waiter plays the strict".

After the drums, the sound of gold sounded. Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, walked out wearing a dragon crown and obeying the Fengtian Palace, and walked to the high platform of the Huangji Hall under the guidance of the umbrella cover, and sat in the throne. The crown prince Zhu Cihong stood next to the throne, and Zhu Youzhen's sons stood under the crown prince, all wearing dragon crown clothes.

Li Zhi looked at the Son of Heaven and felt that today's Son of Heaven seemed to be a little different from the past. Today's Son of Heaven has a feeling of high spirits, as if the general trend of the world is in his hands, and there is no longer the forbearance and restraint of the past.

The attendant beside Zhu Youzhen asked loudly, "Who is Your Highness standing?" ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and replied: "Li Zhi, the prince of Chenjin State." ”

The waiter sang loudly, "Got it." Rites! ”

The Lile Singing Troupe began to play the "Quartet of Mighty Clothes", and Li Zhi listened with his ears pricked up, feeling that although the melody was obscure, there was a majestic momentum in it.

After the music sounded, the four envoys entered from the West Majesty. Dan Majesty, who was standing outside the Imperial Palace, stood for a while. The envoys of the Lile Singing Troupe stood up and played the song "Emperor Ming" again. When the envoy heard the music changed, he walked into the Imperial Palace with the book treasure in his hand, and stood in front of the throne.

Wang Duo, the first assistant of the cabinet, walked under the throne, took the treasure from the hands of the envoy, and prepared to hand it over to Li Zhi.

When the treasure arrived, he sang loudly: "Jiayu Ye's glory, grace and chong; The distribution of Yan Tianhuang is courteous and pro-friendly. The grand ceremony is rewarded, and the new lun is born. Li Zhi, the prince of Jinguo, is known for his diligence and diligence, and his military exploits are brilliant in the north and south, and he is praised all over the world; Qingcao is aimed at life, and he does not slack off; Remember the cardinal's meticulousness, and see the calmness of the ceremony. ”

"According to the Zhang-style Chongpet rank, he was awarded the treasure of the book, and Feng Er was the king of Tianjin County. Dainlun is in the world, and Shang Kexin is in the family; Solid rock in the future, especially the eternal reputation. Bao Qing repaired and recklessly, and he was unswerving. With Mian Jiayou, take a leave of absence from Yang, thank you! ”

Li Zhi stood in front of the throne and replied, "The virtue of the minister is shallow, and he does not dare to accept this great treasure." ”

Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, sat on the throne and looked at Li Zhi, and said with a smile: "False." Bear the hope of the sea, the world is famous, the prestige is profound, can be crowned the king of the county. ”

Li Zhi excused himself again and said: "The ministers are still shallow, so they don't dare to accept this great treasure." ”

Zhu Youzhen stroked his beard and said: "Although you are young, you are really the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty, and you can receive this treasure!" ”

Li Zhi looked at Zhu Youzhen, and said for the third time: "The minister is not a descendant of the surname Zhu, and he does not dare to accept the title of a minister." ”

Hearing this, all the officials in the Imperial Palace raised their heads slightly and looked at the Son of Heaven and Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's words are the key point, there has never been a king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, if Li Zhi is crowned king, what will the people of the world think? Zhu Youzhen repented at this time, and it was still too late.

However, the Son of Heaven did not mean to repent, and said with a smile: "Although you are not a clan, you have the merit of defending the society." The backbone of the society and the good assistance of the country have not been seen in the previous dynasty. Ergongerde, can be subject to a different surname of the king. ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, the faces of the civil officials in the palace darkened. It seems that the Son of Heaven is determined to be crowned this king this time.

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, the military attaches in the hall were slightly excited. The king with a different surname is crowned with military merits, which is undoubtedly a booster for military generals, which means that the ceiling of military attachés will be raised in the future. In the future, if you can make great contributions to the world like Li Zhi, can you also be crowned king?

The military attachés, including Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the new army in Beijing, looked at Li Zhi with envy and jealousy.

Li Zhi no longer shirked, and sang loudly: "The emperor's grace is mighty, and the ministers are careful to keep their orders!" ”

All the officials knelt down in unison and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

More than 1,000 civil officials and military generals in the square outside the hall all knelt down and sang loudly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live", and a tsunami roared from the mountains.

Wang Duo took a breath, walked in front of Li Zhi with some helplessness, and handed over the treasure of the county king to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took the treasure, knelt down as well, and sang: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhu Youzhen praised: "Good! ”

At the end of the canonization ceremony, Zhu Youzhen, the crown prince and the kings no longer stayed, and withdrew from the imperial hall with the umbrella cover honor guard.

The hundred officials got up, and the civil officials looked at Li Zhi with some stupidity, and they were speechless one by one.

Li Zhi also got up, looking at the county king's book treasure in his hand, a little happy.

From now on, he will be the king of widowhood and loneliness. Even when the head of the cabinet sees himself, he has to kneel down and speak.

couldn't help but be curious, Li Zhi tried: "The widow is very happy today." ”

This sentence immediately attracted a burst of attention from the surrounding civil officials, and their eyes were full of unwillingness.
