Chapter 506: The New Emperor's Enthronement

Whenever there is a major event in the royal family, or the replacement of the old and the new, or the tenth birthday, or the wedding event, the Son of Heaven will always issue an amnesty to the world, so as to achieve the effect of universal celebration, and those who have not committed the ten heinous crimes will be more or less commuted to some punishment.

But this approach, according to reason, has to wait until two days later, and wait for the new emperor to sit firmly in the position before issuing an edict to convey it. But today, the situation is obviously very different, and Lu Zhen is the only one who has been pardoned, and he actually made the will when Zhu Qiyu first ascended the throne, which is really a bit inconsistent with the law.

What is surprising is that many people should have stood up to stop and oppose this matter, but today, no one spoke out against it, but a few courtiers quickly stepped forward to shout Shengming after the emperor issued an order, expressing their approval, and Yu Qian naturally did it.

Why did the courtiers do this? Is it because the new monarch ascended the throne that they didn't dare to go against him at that time? Of course not, with the courage of a Ming official, not to mention that you are a young man who has just become an emperor, you are the Son of Heaven for many years, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will also criticize mercilessly.

The reason for this is that Lu Jin's matter has some unwarranted flavor in it after all, to put it bluntly, most people know that he was framed by Jinyiwei's people before he was put into prison, and everyone also saw that the new Son of Heaven was quite serious about Lu Jin. In this way, naturally no one will speak against the emperor for the sake of a person who has been wronged.

Of course, there are still many Wang Zhen's henchmen in the DPRK, and they naturally don't want Lu Zhen to be pardoned like this. However, now that they themselves are no longer able to protect, they really dare not cause more trouble.

Although the news of Wang Zhen's death has not yet been reported back to the city of Beijing—the battle is far from over, hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers and officials are lying out, and the local government has not yet been able to count them—but with Zhu Qizhen being replaced by his younger brother, they have learned the fact that Wang Zhen has lost power and can no longer run as unscrupulous as before.

Even if Zhu Qiyu has not yet investigated Wang Zhen's crimes, he is still the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, but after losing the emperor's big backer, what ability can a eunuch in the palace have to gain power?

In fact, after learning that Zhu Qizhen fell into the hands of the Mongolian people and that the Queen Mother intended to support Zhu Qiyu as the emperor, these officials who followed Wang Zhen in the past had already begun to think about dissociating themselves from him, and it was of course impossible to stand up and argue with the Son of Heaven for Lu Jin's matter at this moment.

Therefore, the will to pardon Lu Zhen and reinstate him as an official was actually issued very smoothly, and the courtiers here are still congratulating the Son of Heaven on his accession to the throne, and Lu Jin, who is in the prison over there, has changed into a new official uniform after a little freshening up, and quickly arrived.

During this period, Zhu Qiyu also led the ministers to perform sacrifices in the Taimiao, the Temple of Heaven and other places, and was busy until around noon, when this series of ceremonial acts was completely completed, and Lu Zhen also came to the Forbidden City at this time, seeking progress in his name.

Hearing that Lu Zhen was already waiting outside, Zhu Qiyu's originally tired face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly said, "Then let Lu Qing come in and talk quickly." ”

After a while, Lu Zhen had slowly walked to the Taihe Gate, first kowtowed respectfully to the Son of Heaven, and thanked him for his forgiveness, and then he was able to get up. The two of them glanced at each other, and they both felt like they were in a different world.

One is that he has been in prison for months, almost all of them are isolated from the outside world, and he has changed days when he comes out. The other is that he remembered what happened to him some time ago, and now that he is the Son of Heaven, he always feels that everything is not real.

However, after all, this is an extremely grand court meeting, and the two are not easy to communicate much, but quickly get to the point. I saw Zhu Qiyu looking at Lu Zhen with a solemn expression and said: "Lu Qing, you came just in time, now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, presumably you have heard of the defeat ahead, right?" Now is the autumn of my Ming Dynasty's critical survival, do you have any good plans to deal with it? ”

With just this sentence, you can see how much the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Lu Jin, and he actually asked him about such an important matter in front of so many important ministers.

And Lu Zhen was not polite at this time, only sighed and said: "Although the minister is in prison, he does not dare to forget the country, and the new defeat of our army is indeed very disadvantageous to us." However, the imperial court's move today is extremely correct, so that it can reinvigorate the morale of our people and the prestige of the army, as long as our soldiers and horses can arrive in time, we will be able to block this attack of the Tartars. ”

"Lu Qing can rest assured of this, at least now the Mongolian people have not broken my northern fortress, as long as they continue to hold on, things can be eased. Moreover, Yu Shilang has already transferred soldiers and horses from Shandong, Henan, and even Jiangnan and other places early in the morning to come to defend the Beijing Division. ”

"Yu Shilang is really the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, so he can be safe." Lu Zhen hurriedly praised Yu Qian, which made the latter's face red, and he couldn't help but glare at him. This Lu Shansi is too casual, he and he are the relationship between his boss and subordinates, how can he not avoid suspicion?

Although the ministers felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, because today's limelight was robbed by Yu Qian and Lu Jin, but at this time, they only wanted to protect themselves, but they did not mean to be enemies with Lu Jin.

Just when everyone thought that today's court meeting was coming to an end, Lu Zhen spoke again: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has two things I want to mention, which may increase my determination to stick to it." ”

"Oh? But what it is, let's hear it. Zhu Qiyu asked hurriedly.

"One is the official position of the ministers of the court. After the defeat of the previous time, countless officials who accompanied the car were all buried under the Tartar knife, and they have not returned to this day. That being the case, when Your Majesty ascends the throne today, he should reward the ministers and let the officials in Beijing fill those vacancies. Otherwise, the yamen will always lack the backbone and will be inconvenient in their actions. In this way, it can be regarded as justifiable, and it is the morale of the army of our court! Lu Jin hurriedly said.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he heard this, and the courtiers under him also obviously hesitated. In this regard, in fact, they have all had the same idea, but they always feel that they are in too much of a hurry to do this at this time. After all, the life and death of those officials who followed Zhu Qizhen's Northern Expedition have not yet been decided, and it is really too urgent to promote their subordinates to their positions at this time. Moreover, if a certain Shangshu-sama returned safely and found that it was such an ending, what should he do?

It is precisely because of this or that concern that the people did not dare to raise this matter. But now, Lu Zhen actually helped them say it, which made them both surprised and a little grateful. Because this is a godsend for ascension.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lu Jin, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lu Qing, is this a little hasty?" After all, there is a possibility that other courtiers will come back......"

"When it is an extraordinary time, we should do extraordinary things, and now is the time to unite the hearts of the people of the world, and only by doing so can we let the military and people of the world know Your Majesty's determination. Even if they did come back, as long as they could stop the Mongol offensive this time, these old ministers could no longer ask the new officials to give up their positions. Lu Zhen continued to express his opinion.

Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly, and quickly understood the sound outside the strings. Lu Zhen is hinting to himself that doing so can make the officials who stay in the capital work harder to run errands. Because only by making meritorious contributions can the official positions they have now be guaranteed, even if their original boss arrives, it is difficult to change anything.

The courtiers below actually heard the meaning of the words, and their eyes lit up one by one, revealing a look of anticipation, because this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

According to the original rules of officialdom, it is a little difficult for these courtiers to go further. Because at this time, it is difficult to be promoted from a squire to a scholar by merit alone, because becoming a scholar depends on qualifications, popularity, and the trust of the Son of Heaven in you. For those officials at the level of the six squires now, if they want to make further progress, it usually takes them three or five or seven years, or even more than ten years, to have a chance. And you can't make mistakes in the meantime, it's really a long, painful process.

But now, because a large part of the officials of the DPRK and China have collapsed in the defeat of Tumubao, it has created a great opportunity for them. And all this is only in the thought of the Son of Heaven.

In an instant, everyone looked at Zhu Qiyu on the throne, waiting for him to finally announce the result. This is related to what kind of status they will have in the officialdom in the future, how can they not feel nervous?

Zhu Qiyu was also hesitant for a while, because he was a little worried that he would be said that this was a son of heaven and a courtier, and it was a suppression of the emperor's brother and his subordinates. But then, he thought of another layer, isn't this a great opportunity for him to consolidate the throne? Presumably, after this promotion, these officials will be dead set on themselves and try their best to support themselves as the emperor, even if they ......

He didn't dare to think about the rest of the matter, but he had already made up his mind: "What Lu Qing said is very true, since I have ascended the throne on behalf of the imperial brother today, then Zhu Qing should naturally also be in charge of the absence, so that we can work together and promulgate the law in a justifiable manner!" ”

With Zhu Qiyu's decision, the ministers were overjoyed, and then stepped forward to thank the emperor. Many people looked at Lu Jin's eyes with obvious gratitude, it seems that this young man really knows how to advance and retreat.

However, all this can not be done so easily, and it is necessary to let the officials and other relevant yamen conduct statistical consultations before they can really implement the official position. But this has greatly boosted everyone's hearts and made everyone believe that the battle that may lie next will be won.

At this time, Lu Zhen spoke again: "Your Majesty, the minister has a second thing to do!" ”
