Chapter 3: Who dares to hide the new Son of Heaven
It is said that after the ministers entered the palace and cried, they gathered outside the Qianqing Palace to discuss what to do next. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fang Congzhe has the highest position and the oldest qualifications, he first began to say: "The Son of Heaven Yan is driving, the Eastern Dynasty is young, from the old man's point of view, he will be raised by Xili Niangniang, and then let Niangniang move out of the Qianqing Palace when he is an adult." The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Eastern Dynasty must ascend to the pole as soon as possible to settle the world. ”
The Eastern Dynasty, that is, the crown prince Zhu Youxiao, at this time he has moved to Ciqing Palace, which is the East Palace, and the personnel serving him have also been determined, and he is only one name away. Originally, the crown prince ceremony was scheduled for the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, but he didn't expect Zhu Changluo to be able to survive to that time.
Everyone had their own considerations, but before they could speak, Yang Lian first objected: "This matter must not be, Li Xuanzhi pointed out by the elder did not have obvious virtue when he was in the East Palace, he was not the biological mother of the Eastern Dynasty, let alone the mother-in-law, and there was no reason to entrust the future Son of Heaven to a woman." A few days ago, when the ministers were summoned in this East Warm Pavilion, the servants forcibly dragged the Eastern Dynasty into without announcement, and then pushed out without a purpose, and also shouted insults outside the hall, asking for the seal, all of you have heard about it at the time, have you forgotten? Now that he is over forty years old, he is still not immune from the demagoguery of Zheng Guifei and everyone, not to mention how many days has Xi Li and Zheng Guifei had a personal relationship? What good can they do? If the Eastern Dynasty falls into their hands, I am afraid that our courtiers will not be able to see the temple at the beginning, and they will never see the future Son of Heaven again. ”
Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, immediately agreed, and said, "The old man agrees with Kechen's opinion, Lord Yang, what do you think we should do now?" ”
"In the humble and humble opinion, at this time, you should immediately meet the Eastern Dynasty, as soon as you see everyone, you will shout long live, in order to determine the danger, and then protect the new Son of Heaven out of the Qianqing Palace, please go to the Wenhua Palace, recruit the ministers to support the great treasure, in order to calm the world, and fix the hearts of the people." After Yang Lian gave up his hand, he replied calmly.
Wang An, who had been wandering at the palace gate, saw the ministers whispering in the distance, and knew that he was planning the ascension of the new Son of Heaven, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded: "My lords, the old slave has heard that Concubine Zheng Guifei and Xi Li are conspiring, and wants to support the Eastern Dynasty in the Qianqing Palace, invite the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and want to imitate the story of the previous dynasty and deal with the affairs of the world together. ”
These words were like thunder, which made the ministers who had originally asked the servants to stay in the Qianqing Palace to raise Zhu Youxiao completely change their minds, how could state affairs be entrusted to the hands of women, and let a group of fifty or sixty old men obey the orders of a woman in her thirties, and they who believed in the words of the saints could bear it.
The 53-year-old Liu Yixiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a beard and a fiery temper, and he said angrily: "After supporting the Eastern Dynasty to enter the Wenhua Palace, you can first retreat to Ciqing Palace, and if Xi Li and Zheng Guifei do not move out, they must not come to Qianqing Palace again." Then he pulled over a eunuch who was about to come forward to eavesdrop, and threatened: "Today, the Eastern Dynasty should be enthroned in front of the spirit, why is it not now?" Where are you hiding the Eastern Dynasty? Who told you to hide the new Son of Heaven? If you say it quickly, if you don't move, watch your head. ”
This eunuch is Liu Xun, one of Xi Li's close attendants, who was ordered to come to find out the truth just now, he said stiffly, "I don't know, even if I know, I won't say it if I die." ”
Liu Yixian was furious, kicked up, and shouted: "It's hard to be stubborn, see if I kick you." ”
Seeing this, Wang An hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and pointed to the vermilion lacquer gate of the Xinuan Pavilion in the hall and said, "They have hidden the Eastern Dynasty in the Xinuan Pavilion, and they have to see the Eastern Dynasty first." ”
After hearing this, the ministers fried the pot, and immediately rushed forward. came to the door, but was blocked by Li Jinzhong and other sticks guarding the door, everyone is usually Sven, where there has been a fight, the two sides pulled each other. Yang Lian saw this situation and shouted loudly: "The emperor died, it was when the courtiers entered the palace and cried, who dared to insult the Son of Heaven and serve as an official, and there was no forgiveness for killing." ”
Li Jinzhong and the others were timid after hearing this, and couldn't help but relax their strength, but they still didn't open the door, Yang Lian continued, "The emperor has summoned the ministers, and now he has been driven, the emperor's eldest son is young, and he doesn't know whether it is safe or not. Do you want to rebel? ”
Li Jinzhong didn't want to buckle such a big hat, you know, rebellion is a big crime that cannot be forgiven, after hesitating for a moment, he let the door open and stand quietly aside, neither blocking nor opening the door, looking like he was listening to the court.
Playing tricks is Wenchen's strength, everyone saw that they succeeded, so they quieted down, and they wanted to open the door to welcome the new emperor, and a word broke the silence from outside the palace gate, "That, I'm sorry, let me ask, are you here to see your father, your father is in the Dongnuan Pavilion." ”
This person is Ye Xiang, who possessed Zhu Youxiao, he didn't catch up with the first half, and when he just jumped out of the Western Chaos Pavilion, the ministers were pulling with Li Jinzhong and others. When he saw that no one was stopping him, he made a detour to the door, and heard them mention the first emperor, thinking that he had gone to the wrong door, so he kindly reminded him.
Wow, everyone has seen Zhu Youxiao before, so they naturally know each other. They immediately came to their senses, and hurriedly knelt down in accordance with what had been agreed before, and shouted in unison, "Ministers and others see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Ye Xiang was just about to come out to Zhu Changluo to see the situation, but he was blinded by the sudden scene, and he didn't think about how to deal with a similar situation he saw on TV, and subconsciously waved his hand and stepped back while saying, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be a ......" Ye Xiang didn't know that if he used language such as 'Zhongqing is flat' and 'free courtesy', he would be truthful. At present, this way of dealing with it is the most appropriate, and you can't make people feel like they want to be emperors in a hurry, you have to be humble.
It looks like a drama, but it is so, after the ministers knelt and shouted, a new relationship between the monarch and the minister was established, and it also indicated that the Ming Empire ushered in a new master.
After the ceremony, the ministers knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so they didn't care about politeness and quickly got up. Liu Yixiao and Yang Lian took the initiative to drive Ye Xiang, and the rest of the ministers trotted out in clusters. Zhang Weixian, a British minister who is over sixty years old, explained as he walked: "Your Majesty, the first emperor Yan Jia, the Qianqing Palace is now a place of right and wrong, please ask the emperor and his ministers to go to the Wenhua Hall to ascend to the pole, in order to calm the world, and forgive the ministers and others for offending." ”
Ye Xiang thought to himself, will he be the emperor? Do you need to be in such a hurry, so he struggled and said: "My father has just died, and his bones are not cold, is he too anxious." Well, put me down first, I can go by myself. ”
Ye Xiang just stood on the ground of Dan Majesty (that is, the pedestal in front of the Qianqing Palace), and he didn't have time to be pretentious, so he was pulled again, and at first glance, it was Li Jinzhong, Tian Zhao, Liu Xun and others who had taken him to Xinuan Pavilion before. They came on Xi Li's orders, and at the same time, Xi Li's anxious shout came from behind, "Brother come back, brother come back soon......"
It turned out that Xi Li found out that Zhu Youxiao was taken away by the ministers, remembered Zheng Guifei's words, and thought that it was the courtiers who took Zhu Youxiao away, so he would have no support in the future, did he really want to stay in the Qianqing Palace like Zheng Guifei and not leave? But as soon as he left, the title of the queen mother he wanted really became a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. She hurriedly scolded Li Jinzhong and the others, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask that Zhu Youxiao be kept in the Qianqing Palace.
Seeing this, Ye Xiang thought that he had just been let go by this group, and you ran up to join in the fun, so he said with some anger, "You let go, let go...... Hey, you're even more arrogant to me, believe it or not, I'll lie on the ground immediately and let you accompany you... Two. ”
Li Jinzhong has been serving Xi Li for a long time, and he has also served Zhu Youxiao for more than a year, and he has never seen him in this situation, so he is a little at a loss. Seeing that he was hesitant, Ye Xiang hurriedly pulled his sleeve out of his hand.
Although Li Jinzhong was a little confused, he stubbornly said, "Your Highness, let's go back with the slave and maid, otherwise the mother will really be angry." ”
Liu Yixian's hot temper came up again, crossed his waist with one hand, pushed Li Jinzhong with the other, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Bold, this is my new son of the Ming Dynasty, don't you know the etiquette?" Dare to speak disrespectful words. Why should I be afraid of a woman's wrath, and I don't need to curry favor with her, and you won't get out of the way? ”
Wang An, who had been following him closely, also stepped forward to protect Ye Xiang behind him, and whispered to Li Jinzhong, "You go back to Niangniang, it's useless to just hide the Eastern Dynasty, it is essential for the ministers to support this link, only through support, can the Eastern Dynasty rightfully ascend to the emperor, go and go back, let Niangniang relax." ”
The ministers were also clever, and took the opportunity to hurriedly hug Ye Xiang and run towards the Qianqing Gate, Li Jinzhong and the others wanted to block it again, but they failed, and finally let them help Ye Xiang onto the chariot that had already been placed in front of the door.
Bu Yuan, the full name of the profession is "Riding and Driving the Halogen Book Light Horse", wooden, Zhu Zhu, no cover. In fact, it is a wooden chair with two wooden sticks on it, and people can carry it away.
Seeing that another eunuch chased him out of the Qianqing Palace, everyone did not dare not hesitate, and after a little discussion, it was decided that Liu Yixie, Zhou Jiamo, Zhang Weixian, and Yang Lian, the youngest and strongest among them, would personally go into battle.
In fact, Ye Xiang felt that he could walk by himself, and he was not comfortable sitting on the high chariot, not to mention that the people who carried the chariot were not only a group of elderly people, but also the ministers in power.
In order to resolve the embarrassment in his heart, he began to look at the surrounding landscape, which is still the real center of power, unlike the Forbidden City seen by later generations, just a bunch of palaces enshrined. However, on the high pedestal, Ye Xiang didn't see the three major halls that were supposed to stand here, and now he didn't dare to ask, so he had to bury all his doubts in his heart.
On the way, there were three groups of eunuchs who caught up and asked Ye Xiang to return to the Qianqing Palace, but they all asked Liu Yixiao to retreat and drive away. Among them, Wei Jinzhong, who had served Wang Cairen and had been serving Zhu Youxiao, also came, but he was not at the request of Xi Li, but worried about the comfort of the emperor's eldest son, he stepped forward and asked menacingly: "Where are you going to carry the emperor's eldest son?" Don't put it down yet. ”
Yang Lian asked him to roll while running, and when he saw that Ye Xiang had a different color, he thought he was timid, so he said comfortingly: "The emperor is now the lord of the ministers, all the seas and nine states, all of them are courtiers, and there is no need to fear anyone." ”
Ye Xiang thought about how it was so dangerous, to the point of robbing people, he used to be a little fart [mín], where he could experience the sinister of power, nodded and didn't dare to explain. took advantage of the situation and asked to come down and go by himself, but was sternly refused, and in the end he had to let it go.
Fortunately, just after the Zhongji Palace, the sedan chair man led by Shen Yin arrived in a hurry, Ye Xiang knew that these strong eunuchs recruited by the royal family were doing this, and it was not good to refuse, so he was at ease.
Because the three major halls and the previous Huangji Gate have not been built, although there is a pull, the road is also smooth, out of the Huiji Gate to the east is the Wenhua Palace, the destination this time.
When he arrived in front of the hall and was put down, Ye Xiang went to the ground and stood in front of the hall to look at the Wenhua Hall that had been transformed into a ceramic hall in later generations. Thinking that the Wenhua Hall was about to become a place for him to deal with government affairs, and all the decrees of the Ming Dynasty were issued from this and sent to all parts of the country, Ye Xiang couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.
