Chapter 413: A Change of Dynasty

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, hundreds of civil and military officials of the capital who wore ceremonial dresses and above the fifth rank entered the imperial city in groups of three or five to attend the ceremony of Zheng Guifei's canonization of the queen and the enthronement ceremony of the crown prince. Tian Lai Xiao' said.2.

Due to last night's fighting, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground on some roads in the inner and outer cities that had not had time to be cleaned up, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

However, the Imperial City was not affected by last night's battle because it was only in the Ten Princes' Mansion and the warehouse where the British Duke and others were imprisoned.

The civil and military officials who attended the ceremony talked in low voices about last night's battle as they walked, and no one expected that the arrival of the new army would reverse the situation of the crown prince and the king of Fu overnight.

When last night's battle began, the people in the capital thought that the capital was going to be in chaos, and today's two ceremonies would undoubtedly be disrupted, but they didn't think that the rebels would be wiped out so quickly, so that the two ceremonies were carried out as usual, but the person who ascended the throne was changed from King Fu to the crown prince.

As the biggest contributor to the crown prince's accession to the throne, when people were nervously busy for the two major celebrations, Li Hongyu found a place to catch up on sleep.

He had been guarding the spirit of Emperor Wanli in the Guande Hall a few days ago, and he had tossed and turned all night last night, so he had to take a nap and recharge his energy in order to cope with today's two major ceremonies.

In the officialdom of the capital, the most excited at this time are the officials of the Donglin Party, who firmly stood on the side of the prince in the dispute between the prince and the Fu Wang, so the prince will definitely reuse the Donglin Party after he ascends the throne, which is the importance of standing in line.

The situation of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang was a little embarrassing, although they did not support King Fu in the battle for the heir, but they also did not support the prince, so the prince's impression of them was naturally not as good as that of the Donglin Party.

Although Li Hongyu was regarded as a member of the Chu Party, due to his low qualifications and the fact that he had been under house arrest in the imperial city, he lost contact with the Chu Party in the dispute between the crown prince and King Fu for the succession, so his choice could not make the prince's opinion of the Chu party change.

But then again, Li Hongyu is a member of the Chu Party after all, so Zhu Changluo will not make major changes to the Chu Party, and he will also need Li Hongyu to contain the civil officials in the court, in his opinion, the Chu Party will be the foundation of Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu is not in the mood to think about the future now, he is so sleepy that he just wants to sleep comfortably now, and as for the future, he will talk about it later.

"Li Hanlin, the queen's canonization ceremony is about to begin." I don't know how long it took, but an attendant carefully woke up the sleeping Li Hongyu on the side.

"It's already so late." Li Hongyu yawned lazily, and looked at the chamberlain with some surprise, "Why did you call me so late?" ”

"Back to Li Hanlin, it was ordered by the grandson, and the grandson said that Li Hanlin was too tired, so let the miscellaneous family call Li Hanlin later, and the ceremony will be handled by others." Hearing this, the chamberlain bowed to Li Hongyu and replied respectfully, everyone in the palace knew that Li Hongyu would definitely soar this time, so they were naturally in awe of him.

"Thank you for the grace of Taisun." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, washed up and hurried to Kunning Palace, where the canonization ceremony of Concubine Zheng Guifei was carried out.

Since two grand ceremonies were to be held in one day, the canonization ceremony of Concubine Zheng could only be simplified, after all, the coronation of the Son of Heaven was the most important event in the world, and the queen's canonization ceremony should make way for it.

Although the queen's canonization ceremony has been simplified, there are many things that the queen should have, such as the phoenix crown and the golden treasure book.

Because the civil and military officials all gathered in the Taihedian Square at this time to wait to participate in Zhu Changluo's enthronement ceremony, the people who came to Kunning Palace to participate in the queen's canonization ceremony were all civil and military officials in the court, such as the officials of the six departments and the governor of the five armies.

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" After a series of processes, waiting for Zheng Guifei, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, to accept the queen's golden treasure and gold book, Zhu Changluo led the civil and military officials on the scene to kneel and salute Zheng Guifei.

"The Qing family is flat!" Seeing this, Concubine Zheng suppressed the excitement in her heart, raised her hands up into the void, and motioned for everyone to get up.

Concubine Zheng had to be excited, although she lived in Kunning Palace, she was the identity of the imperial concubine, which could be described as unjustifiable, and now she could finally become the owner of Kunning Palace.

Zhu Changluo and Zheng Guifei, now called Empress Zheng is more reasonable, after greeting for a while, they took their respective chariots, surrounded by Li Hongyu and other officials, rushed to the Taihe Palace, Zhu Changluo's enthronement ceremony is the highlight of today.

Looking at the civil and military officials with serious expressions on both sides of the Taihedian Square Avenue, Li Hongyu shook his head helplessly in his heart, according to his memory, it won't be long before the Taihedian will hold another enthronement ceremony.

After a series of ceremonies, Zhu Changluo finally sat on the dragon chair in the Taihe Hall and officially became the emperor of the Ming Empire.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" When Zhu Changluo sat on the dragon chair, the civil and military officials in the Taihe Hall knelt down and saluted and bowed to the new emperor.

Not only the officials in the main hall, but also the civil and military officials in the square of the Taihe Hall also knelt down in unison, and from today they ushered in a new emperor.

In the era name drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Changluo chose the word "Taichang", and from next year it will be the first year of Taichang, and he will become Emperor Taichang.

After the coronation ceremony of the Taihe Palace, the enthronement ceremony was not completed, and there was still an important project left, that is, Emperor Taichang led the civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, praying for smooth wind and rain and abundant harvests in the Ming Dynasty.

After worshipping the heavens, Emperor Taichang officially issued a holy decree to canonize the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao as the crown prince to settle the country.

In addition to canonizing the crown prince, Emperor Taichang also issued a holy decree to promote Li Hongyu to be a scholar of Zhan Shifu Zuochunfang University, and Zhao Xin to be a scholar of Zhan Shifu Youchunfang University, responsible for the teaching of the crown prince.

Zuo Chunfang University Scholar and Right Chunfang University Scholar are the official positions of Zheng Wupin, which are already at the same level as the Hanlin Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and are the only academic official positions in the Ming Dynasty that are Cabinet University Scholars, and have a pivotal position in the civil service.

Generally speaking, only those civil officials with deep qualifications, Hanlin or Shujishi can become Zuochunfang University Scholars and Right Chunfang University Scholars.

However, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin made meritorious contributions to Emperor Taichang's accession to the throne, and the two were born as champions and leaders, so Emperor Taichang promoted the two of them to their official positions, which can be regarded as a reward for the two.

Don't underestimate Zuo Chunfang University Scholar and Right Chunfang University Scholar, this is the stepping stone for promoting the top civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were awarded these two positions at a young age, and their careers are unlimited.

One thing that must be pointed out is that during the Wanli Dynasty, the civil official group set an unspoken rule, that is, important positions in the imperial court must be recommended by civil officials and important ministers, and only those who have obtained the consent of civil officials and important ministers are eligible to accept positions.

It is precisely because of this unspoken rule that is popular in the civil official group that some officials who were appointed by the Wanli Emperor but did not go through the court push refused to take office, preferring to choose Zhishi rather than offend the civil official group, so as not to be poked in the backbone behind their backs.

In addition, if they do not get the approval of the civil officials, even after taking office, they will often be harassed by the civilian clique, and no one wants to offend their colleagues.

It can be seen that the vassal power of the Wanli period has been extended to a very high height, and it is even enough to make the Wanli Emperor have to be jealous and retreat.

Although Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were appointed as Zuo and Right Chunfang University Scholars without being recommended by the court, the civil official group recognized the qualifications of the two, first, the two of them had a very good background in the officialdom, and as the champion and leader of the Ming Dynasty, they were naturally qualified to teach the prince.

Secondly, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were the heroes of the crown prince's accession to the throne, ensuring the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and no one in the imperial court could compare with them.

In the end, because Emperor Taichang ascended the throne in a hurry, there was no opportunity for the civil official group to carry out court pushing.

Besides, Li Hongyu is the Chu Party, Zhao Xin is the Qi Party, even if it is Tingtui, it will definitely pass, considering various reasons, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are still recognized by the civilian clique.

To be honest, Li Hongyu did not agree with the dispute between the civil official group and the emperor for the right to appoint personnel, and it was originally a good thing for the court to assist the emperor in selecting suitable officials to hold important positions.

But by the time of the Wanli Dynasty, the power of the civil official group was further strengthened, which further expanded their interests and used the court to compete with the Wanli Emperor for important official positions in the imperial court.

In addition, due to the factional strife in the court, Tingtui has become a place where the interests of various factions are entangled, and the election of people is only a result of factional compromise.

Therefore, Li Hongyu is unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the civilian clique, once he wades into this troubled water, he will need to spend considerable energy to intrigue with others, so that what he wants to do will be delayed.

The day after the enthronement ceremony, King Fu resigned to Emperor Taichang and Empress Dowager Zheng, and set off to rush back to the fiefdom to the domain, originally he could still stay in the capital for a few more days, but now he does not have this leisure at all, in order to avoid a long night and a lot of dreams, so he left the capital as soon as possible to return to the fiefdom, so as not to be secretly dealt with by Emperor Taichang, otherwise he will not know how to die at that time.

When Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, Concubine Zheng was automatically promoted from queen to queen mother, and took the initiative to move out of Kunning Palace and live in Cining Palace, where the queen mother lived.

Although he was reluctant to leave King Fu in his heart, King Fu was able to return to the fiefdom unharmed in any case, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

Whenever she thought that it was only one night before King Fu ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Zheng's heart felt mixed, and she was almost able to realize her wish in her heart to push King Fu to the throne, but unfortunately she was a little bit unlucky.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Zheng has already accepted her fate, thinking that King Fu lacks the mandate of heaven compared with Emperor Taichang, otherwise she would not have been overturned by Emperor Taichang on the eve of her accession to the throne.

It is very strange that Empress Dowager Zheng does not hate Li Hongyu, the "culprit" who led to the failure of King Fu's succession, Li Hongyu has no ill will towards King Fu, but just acts according to Emperor Wanli's will.

On the contrary, because Li Hongyu has always firmly carried out the will of Emperor Wanli and helped King Fu speak at a critical moment, Empress Dowager Zheng admired Li Hongyu's personality very much and thought that Li Hongyu was a pillar of the country.

For this reason, after Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, the relationship between Li Hongyu and Princess Shouning's Mansion not only did not become estranged, but became closer than before, and he and Ran Xingrang became friends of life and death.
