On the first day of the ninth month of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Changluo officially became an immortal after eating two elixirs.

In the morning, the ministers entered the Qianqing Palace and cried to the first queen, and proposed to invite Zhu Xiaoqi to the Wenhua Palace, and everyone kowtowed together to meet the future emperor. Li Xuanzhi was not at ease, so he just asked them to meet him in the Qianqing Palace. In the middle of the incident, Bing Kezuo called Yang Lian, who had been promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and asked him to invite the prince out.

Wang An went in and said to Li Xuanzhi: "There are two coffins of the first emperors in the Qianqing Palace, and it is not appropriate to visit the prince, so the foreign ministers want to kowtow to the prince in the Wenhua Palace, and after kowtowing, they will be sent back to the Qianqing Palace." Li Xuanzhi asked Li Jinzhong to take Xiao Li Xiaodeng to accompany the prince, and told him to take care of the prince carefully.

After Zhu Xiaoqi came out, the university scholars Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixie, Han Yi, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, Li Ruhua, the secretary of the household department, Yang Lian in the left of the military department, and the criminal department of the department of the department gave the matter of tyranny, and the Zhejiang Daoyu Shi Zuo Guangdou rushed up, which startled Zhu Xiaoqi. Li Jinzhong hurriedly protected the prince, Yang Lian rushed up, pushed him away, slapped him over, and scolded: "You eunuch get aside." Li Jinzhong didn't dare to reply, let alone fight back, so he had to cover his red face and follow along, Yang Lian said again: "Don't come with you, come and break your legs again." Li Jinzhong and the others had no choice but to watch the prince being taken away, and turned around and went back to tell Li Xuanzhi.

In fact, Zhu Xiaoqi was not taken away, but taken away, and arrived at the Wenhua Hall without touching the ground. Everyone invited the prince to sit down and kowtow together. Yang Lian asked the crown prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the world. Zhu Xiaoqi said: "The first emperor is gone, and he is sad in his lonely heart, and he just wants to mourn the first emperor and does not want to succeed to the emperor's throne. ”

The emperor succeeded to the throne, all of which required formal three requests and three resignations, so such a request for the prince not to allow it was expected, and then the ministers told some funeral arrangements, and after these things were over, the ministers saluted and prepared to retreat, at this time Yang Lian spoke: "The prince can't go back to the Qianqing Palace, and he should find a new place to place the prince." The first assistant Fang Congzhe said: "Since the first emperor ascended the throne, the prince has lived in the Qianqing Palace, why can't he go back?" ”

Yang Lian said: "There is still Li Xuan in the Qianqing Palace, the prince is young, and he is easily bewitched by it, if he wants to do something about hanging the curtain, then what can we do?" Li Xian's attendant should be transferred to the side of the prince, so that people can rest assured. ”

Fang Congzhe thought to himself, with Li Xuanzhi's status and status, it was absolutely impossible to do the curtain thing, but it was difficult to refute, so he asked: "If you don't go back to the Qianqing Palace, where will the prince live?" ”

Wang An bowed and said: "Ciqing Palace is the former palace of the prince, which can be the temporary residence of the prince. ”

Yang Lian said: "Then Ciqing Palace." The two of them decided this matter in a few words, and they didn't ask for the opinion of Shoufu at all, Fang Congzhe's face remained unchanged and he didn't say a word.

During the whole process, no one asked Zhu Xiaoqi where he wanted to live, and when he discussed, he didn't look at him. Everyone hugged him to Ciqing Palace, saluted and said goodbye, Wang An called a few eunuchs, ordered them to serve the prince carefully, and left.

was ignored by the ministers like a puppet, and the anger in Zhu Xiaoqi's heart can be imagined. After Wang An left, he walked out of Ciqing Palace directly and returned to Qianqing Palace, several eunuchs advised the prince not to leave, Zhu Youxiao ignored it, and did not dare to stop the prince, so he could only follow him until he entered the Qianqing Palace, and then he reluctantly went back.

As soon as they entered the palace, Li Xuanzhi and the Ke clan greeted them. Li Xuanzhi said: "They have embarrassed their brother." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi said: "Of course they won't embarrass me, I'm hungry, let's eat together." "As for the fact that they don't want to go back to the Qianqing Palace by themselves, don't say it, so as not to worry about Li Xuanzhi and worry about the Hakka family.

After eating, it is customary to keep a vigil. Zhu Xiaoqi sat in the mourning hall and began to think, according to common sense, the prince is young, and someone has to take care of him, but now the ministers want him to live alone in Ciqing Palace, away from the people he is familiar with, this is a bit abnormal?

According to the Parallel Time and Space Administration No. 1, he should become the emperor this year, looking at this situation, it is probably a matter of the past few days. And as a child who is only sixteen years old, although the ministers are prostrating to him, they do not see any respect at all, then their purpose of letting themselves live alone is obvious: they want to isolate him, they want to make themselves their puppets.

According to the analysis of the principle that the more joy you dance, the greater the profit, Fang Congzhe obviously didn't think so, then it should be Yang Lian's group who thought so. I am a newcomer, I am not familiar with the place, I can't fall for them, Fang Congzhe should be able to pull him over as an ally, not to mention Xu Guangqi, not to mention that he should be a confidant instead of an ally, who else? Zhu Xiaoqi sadly discovered that there was no one available in the outer court itself.

If the outer court is not good, what about the palace? The first one that can be trusted is, of course, Li Jinzhong, as well as Wang Tiqian, Li Chaoqin are all good, Wang An seems to be closer to Yang Lian, it is better to be careful.

The next day, the ministers came to Ciqing Palace to meet the prince, but they didn't want to go to the empty building, Yang Lian immediately asked someone to find Wang An, Wang An listened to the eunuch of Ciqing Palace explain the situation, and immediately asked someone to press the eunuch of Ciqing Palace to the ground and beat him, scolding while beating: "Why didn't you tell me last night?" The ministers didn't care about Wang An's punishment of the eunuchs, so they went to the Wenhua Palace first, and Wang An came to the Qianqing Palace again to invite the prince to the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Xiaoqi said: "If there is anything, just say it in the Qianqing Palace." "He doesn't imagine that he was like yesterday, and he can't get it back. Wang An said: "Today, the ministers have a major event, and there are two coffins of the first emperors in the Qianqing Palace. Everything is inconvenient, so please ask the prince to go to the Wenhua Palace, and then return to the palace. ”

Zhu Xiaoqi said: "No need, just say it here, is there anything you can't say here?" ”

Li Xuanzhi became suspicious and asked, "What's the matter, wasn't it in Wenhua Hall yesterday?" Why didn't you go today? ”

Zhu Xiaoqi didn't tell her the truth yesterday, so it was not easy to answer this question today, and he thought, it's a big deal to come back in the evening. So he said goodbye to Li Xuanzhi and others, and followed Wang An to Wenhua Palace.

After the ministers bowed, Li Ruogui said that there was a certain order for the canonization ceremony to be held. Empress Xiaoduanxian (Empress Shenzong) and Empress Xiaojing (Guangzong's biological mother) have not yet been sealed, and Concubine Guo Yuanfei (Guangzong Yuanpei) and Wang Cairen (Zhu Youxiao's biological mother) should be crowned as the queen and even the honorific title has not been decided. Zhu Xiaoqi knew that this could only be the result in the end, so he had to agree.

Although his emperor's father told him why he wanted to make Li Xuanzhi the imperial concubine, according to Zhu Xiaoqi's original intention, he didn't want to have an extra imperial concubine on his head to criticize him, but Li Xuanzhi had always treated him well, and with the relationship between Yuan Yuan, he felt that it was better to make her the imperial concubine. But now even the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said so, and it was indeed right, that is, his opposition was invalid, so let's suspend it.

Then there are the princes, marquis, horses, uncles, civil and military officials, military and civilians, the elderly, etc., the young master and the prince and the young master, the British public Zhang Weixian, etc., who are advised to enter, this is the first time to persuade to enter, and it is not allowed as usual.

Yang Lian also proposed that the prince returned to the Qianqing Palace yesterday, and he was not in agreement with the ceremony, so he asked him to stay in the Ciqing Palace today, and proposed that Li Xuanzhi was no longer suitable to live in the Qianqing Palace and should move out immediately.

Zhu Xiaoqi glared at Wang An and said, "The orphan is young, and he needs to be taken care of by a waiter, and he doesn't need to move out of the Qianqing Palace." ”

Zhu Xiaoqi still has some feelings for Li Xuanshi, of course, there are also reasons for Li Xuan. If Li Xuanzhi lived in the Qianqing Palace to take care of him, it was actually the best arrangement, just like Guangzong arranged for Li Xuanzhi to be the imperial concubine, so he proposed that Li Xuanzhi temporarily live in the Qianqing Palace in order to take care of himself, which would be a hornet's nest.

First of all, Yang Lian played in the matter, and he thought that Li Xuanzhi regarded himself as the emperor's mother (as if he regarded himself as a mother); nominally to protect the emperor, but in fact he wants to have his own monopoly (in the name of external protection, he is good at it); Therefore, the courtiers didn't believe in her and didn't want her to take care of the emperor, so they asked the emperor to live in Ciqing Palace and let her move out of the Qianqing Palace and then return (the ministers and ministers were suspicious, and they didn't dare to rely on the hands of the gods of the temple. Therefore, I strongly ask Your Majesty to temporarily live in Ciqing Palace, and then return to the Qingqing).

Then, he said that Li Xuan's servants ordered the officials to steal the treasures in the palace and wanted to transport them out, thinking that they were the imperial concubines and did not take the emperor in their eyes (Li Jinzhong, Liu Xun, and Wei Jinzhong, who opened the treasure house without permission, and stole the treasures, how could they want to do everything they had first, and then they were out of the blue.) Or refers to borrowing the name of the imperial concubine, and the color is not young).

In the end, he thought that Li Xuan's status was low, he was neither the prince's mother-in-law nor the prince's biological mother, and he should move out of the Qianqing Palace immediately, and he didn't need to choose what day (not his mother-in-law, not his biological mother, but he was pampered and arrogant, who could be peaceful in the world?). It is advisable to choose a servant by the imperial decree: It is auspicious to abide by the language of heaven, and there is no need to choose a day with excuses. I think that today Li Xuanzhi will move away, and the emperor will move back to the Qianqing Palace (as for the matter of moving the palace, what the minister says is today, and what His Majesty does will also be today).

Zhu Xiaoqi was furious in his heart, the first emperor originally intended to let Li Xuanzhi take care of himself, what do you suspect it means? As for Li Xuanzhi's theft of the treasures in the palace, she knew that this was not the case at all, and the treasures were originally given to her by the emperor. The latter words even implied that Li Xuanzhi followed Wu Zetian's example, and his intentions were too vicious.

Zhejiang Daoyu Shi Zuo Guangdou also agreed with Yang Lian's meaning, and even said: "The matter of Gaozong Wuzhou must not be seen in the present dynasty." "Directly refers to Li Xuan's desire to serve the ** prince, in order to do the things of Wu Zhou.

Zhu Xiaoqi was so angry that he was about to refute him, when the university scholar Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixian, and Han Yi played together, and they said it was much more euphemistic, they thought that the emperor would live in the Qianqing Palace after the enthronement ceremony, and Li Xuanzhi was just a selection of servants, and his identity was limited, and he was not qualified to live in the Qianqing Palace to take care of the prince, so he asked Li Xuanzhi to move away, and Ciqing Palace was the place where the prince's father lived when he did not ascend the throne, and it was not suitable for her to live, so he did not move to Ciqing Palace, but to move to Renshou Palace.

In short, everyone means that Li Xuanzhi must move away, whether the language is vicious or gentle, everyone means the same, and Li Xuanzhi can't be allowed to take care of him. Zhu Xiaoqi understood, last time they said that they would suspend the appointment of Li Xuanzhi as the imperial concubine, but they were waiting for themselves here. After all, he still has a too young, too simple pattern, and now he can't explain them, and he speculates that the ministers actually don't want to have an imperial concubine to hinder them, so they will do this.

He knew that he couldn't argue with the ministers, so in desperation, he had to promise to let Li Xuanzhi move out of the Qianqing Palace and move to the Renshou Palace before he ascended the throne, and he would live in the Ciqing Palace first, and promised that he would not return to the Qianqing Palace, so the ministers were satisfied and retreated.

After the ministers withdrew, Zhu Xiaoqi asked Wang Andao: "What kind of official is this Yang Lian, so mean and aggressive. ”

Wang Anzheng said: "The ministers once heard that although Yang Lian was a small thing, but in the court, dedicated to the country, the first recommendation of the outstanding person was Yang Lian, and the minister led the emperor and the prince to visit the Qianqing Palace to visit the illness, and it was Yang Lian who instructed the ministers. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, playing with Li Jinzhong and others all day long, not knowing the loyalty of the courtiers, this minister can be saved, His Royal Highness and the ministers are just talking, but if this language comes from the outside, the heart of the loyal minister, the ambition of the traitor, it will lose the period of the first emperor Yin Yin. ”

Zhu Xiaoqi was speechless after a few words, this old dog is hateful, he and Li Jinzhong are doing the right thing, don't be blind if you don't understand. Bullying Lao Tzu is young, right, Lao Tzu is also in his thirties before and after, and he doesn't argue loyalty and treachery, Lao Tzu sees that you are an old thing, you are a traitor, I have never eaten pork, I have always seen a pig walking, your routine can still be understood, you want to empty me, no way.

"Your Highness, the ministers have been instructed by the ministers to move the palace, I don't know what else to order?"

"The matter of moving the palace is not what I want, don't persecute it too much, as long as it is before ascending the throne, there is another matter of Li Jinzhong, this matter is only known, it is not a theft, and there is no need to blame."

"Obey Your Highness's orders, and the ministers will understand." Wang An hurriedly went.

So Zhu Xiaoqi stayed in Ciqing Palace that night, and on the third day of the ninth month, the ministers persuaded him for the second time, but he was not allowed as usual.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, the third persuasion was granted, as usual. He is scheduled to ascend the throne on the 6th of September. The ministers brought the proposed more than a dozen era names for him to choose, and he saw that one of them was the apocalypse, and thought, his brother's name is Zhu Xiaotian, and his name is Zhu Xiaoqi, this era name is very good, and when he sees this era name, he will think of his brother, so he pointed to it and said, "That's it!" ”

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Zhu Xiaoqi was the emperor in the Wenhua Palace, with the year name Apocalypse, and the amnesty was granted to the world. From today on, he is no longer the grandson, nor the crown prince, but has become the real emperor, and he has become the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao.
