Chapter 6: Succession (2)

At this time, Wei Zhongxian also stood up and said to King Xin very respectfully: "Your Highness, the old slave also agrees with the opinions of Lord Huang and the others. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now the subjects of the Ming Dynasty very much need His Highness to preside over the overall situation, which is what everyone expects. After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he turned around and said to the ministers behind him: "Ministers, are you right?" The tone was so resolute that there was no room for the slightest opposition.

Which of you here is not a human spirit, not to mention that King Xin's accession to the throne was explained in the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which is the so-called justification. Therefore, everyone began to join the discussion one after another, and for a while, there was not a single opposition voice in the court. Even if the old stubbornness with a little opinion will not touch the mold at this time, offend the new emperor, and maybe one day he will wear small shoes for himself.

King Shin felt that everyone's opinions were beginning to unify, and the silence was no longer as before, and the scene became extremely enthusiastic, and he felt that if King Shin did not ascend the throne, someone would immediately go to die. King Xin felt that the time was ripe, and there was no need to continue to be modest, and it was not good to be modest, especially in this turbulent autumn. An imperceptible smile appeared on King Shin's face, and he was one step closer to the throne, his fate once again tightened in his hands.

"Since you ministers are so concerned about the Ming Dynasty, this king also thinks that what you said is very right. The Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and urgently needs reform, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, so the king decided to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne. "King Shin said very simply, without too much nonsense, the meaning is very clear, what you mean this king understands, this king has decided to ascend the throne.

Wei Zhongxian, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu and others, as soon as they heard what King Xin said, immediately cheered, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers shouted over and over again, like a mountain roaring tsunami, resounding throughout the Qianqing Palace, if it were not for the Qianqing Palace built strong enough, I am afraid that this hoarse long live sound may tear off the roof of this house at any time.

King Shin did not say anything to stop it, he was already intoxicated by the sound of "Long live" in this wave after wave, and at this moment, King Shin completed the transformation from prince to emperor. At this moment, Chongzhen felt that he was the center in this heaven and earth, and his fate was closely linked to the fate of the ministers who knelt on the ground and the hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, there was a strange scene in the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen did not shout to stop, none of the ministers dared to stop, and shouted over and over again. The ministers were extremely depressed in their hearts, when is this a head, many ministers who are a little older, shouted and finally their voices were gone, and they were still howling there. The next day, there was a thing in the Ming Dynasty that made everyone wonder, all the important ministers of the court, after returning from the palace, all their throats were like blocking something, and they didn't say a word, which made the families of such important ministers of the court worry for a long time...

By the time Chongzhen found out that something was wrong, it was already too late, almost all the ministers were howling, the scene was extremely weird, and in desperation, Chongzhen had no choice but to announce his retreat from the dynasty. The inaugural speech that had been planned came to an end in such a farce.

It wasn't until the third day that these ministers recovered one after another, and the two days were too busy for a group of imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital. Zhang Bingliang was appointed as the envoy of the Tai Hospital in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. This is an official position of the fifth grade, although the rank is not too high, but as an imperial doctor, it is the ultimate that can be done, Zhang Bingliang is still very satisfied, no matter how high the rank of the official, he will give himself a little thin face. As soon as he returned to the Tai Hospital to rest, the new emperor announced that he had entered the Qianqing Palace to face the saint. Zhang Bingliang guessed in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen probably asked about the minister's situation, so he generally trotted to the Qianqing Palace, generally thinking about how to deal with Emperor Chongzhen.

Since Chongzhen officially accepted the courtiers' worship, he settled in the Qianqing Palace. Qianqing Palace is one of the three palaces after the inner court, which was built in the Yongle period. The Qianqing Palace is covered with yellow glazed tiles for the whole roof, and is located on a single-layer white marble pedestal. The bright room in the hall is connected with the east and west times. The Ming room housed the throne, which was the place where the emperor handled government affairs and received courtiers. There are nine warm pavilions in the east and west, divided into two floors, with a total of 27 beds, which is mainly to ensure the confusion of the environment in which the emperor lives, in case of accidents. In the past few days, Chongzhen has also enjoyed it, but after a short period of loss, he has regained his heart that is almost free.

Chongzhen understands that there are many things to deal with in the Ming Dynasty, and there are thousands of things. Grasping the key points is what I should do at present, that is, national affairs, as for the apocalypse, I will hand it over to Wang Chengen to handle. These days, I'm busy reviewing and reading the folds, and my head is big. The emperor's work is really not done by people, he is too tired, even if he doesn't rest every day, I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it. Looking at the mountains of twists and turns in front of him, Chongzhen sometimes secretly felt that it was also a good choice to give power to Wei Zhongxian, but this is also to think about it, it is impossible for him to do this, if this is no different from handing over his head to Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen is tired to death, and it is impossible to become a puppet of courtiers and eunuchs again.

In the days after the death of Emperor Tianqi, there was a backlog of government affairs, which used to be handled by Wei Zhongxian, the celebrant and eunuch, but since he ascended the throne, Chongzhen has let Wei Zhongxian concentrate on cement affairs. Chongzhen still remembers that when Wei Zhongxian was asked to hand over the power to approve the folds, the expression on Wei Zhongxian's face at that time was very rich, and after a while, it changed five or six colors, which could be compared to a chameleon. It wasn't until Chongzhen explained that Wei Zhongxian concentrated on dealing with the cement that his face was slightly better, Chongzhen felt that Wei Zhongxian was still suspicious, so he simply explained the importance of cement to Wei Zhongxian, and promised that as long as Wei Zhongxian did this thing well, he would make a big mistake, and Wei Zhongxian's face gradually recovered.

And Wang Chengen was sent by himself to arrange the affairs of the Apocalypse, and Chongzhen explained two principles, one is to properly deal with Wei Zhongxian's problem with the diner, and after giving a specific plan, he will hand it over to himself for review; The second is to treat the queen of the apocalypse well, that is, Chongzhen's sister-in-law. In the past few days, Wang Chengen has basically arranged it in **, and it is not complicated, but the key is that Wei Zhongxian is involved, and things are a little troublesome, so Wang Chengen has made several trips to Wei Zhongxian's residence for this reason, and he can't meet anyone every time, which makes Wang Chengen also feel a little headache. Coupled with the change in Chongzhen's attitude towards Wei Zhongxian, and the indifference to his attitude towards himself in the past few days, Wang Chengen couldn't figure out Chongzhen's bottom thoughts, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

A few days ago, although Chongzhen was also in the Qianqing Palace, he was still in a crisis, so Chongzhen did not observe the Qianqing Palace carefully at all, let alone think that the seemingly simple Qianqing Palace hid many secrets. Maybe there will be more surprises later. But now is not the time to study these, there will be time later. Chongzhen just saw the Liaodong war report, the Later Jin regime began to rise, and the conflict with the Ming Dynasty continued, although there was no major war, but there were still small-scale contacts, so the casualties were still continuous, and some of the wounded could not be effectively treated, and they died of infection. Seeing these made Chongzhen's heart feel unbearable, so he sent the envoy of the Imperial Hospital to discuss how to deal with it.

Zhang Bingliang quickly came to the Qianqing Palace, but because he ran too fast and had less exercise in his life, he kept panting. With a smile on his face, he said to the little eunuch guarding the door: "Trouble father-in-law, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital asks to see the saint." "This is also a matter of no choice, although he is a positive fifth grade, but the little eunuch is a person around the emperor, maybe one day he will be favored by the emperor, he is such a hospital envoy, it is better to be careful everywhere.

When the little eunuch heard that it was the emperor's envoy to the imperial hospital, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the emperor said, you are here, you don't need to be informed, you can just go in, the emperor is waiting for you." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhang Bingliang didn't delay much, thanked the little eunuch, and went directly into the Qianqing Palace.
