Zhu Changyuan walked to the middle of the hall step by step, and after going up the ninth imperial step, he suddenly turned around, looking at the ministers standing respectfully one by one, with an indescribable aura. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Is this about to be the emperor? Is this the reign of the world from now on? That is to say, in the future, you can decide life and death with one word, and you can pull it out and click it if you don't like it?

Zhu Changyuan asked himself, and then almost held his breath and walked to the side of the dragon chair, and sat down near the center.

Some of the courtiers below were forced to come over and kneel and lick him to the throne because they had offended Zhu Changyuan before, hoping to be forgiven; Some don't care about the world, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as he can mix; There are also some who don't like Zhu Changyuan in their hearts, but they really can't find a figure who can rule all directions in the Ming Dynasty, so they can only be forced to choose him.

As for those who really like Zhu Changyuan and want to put him on the throne of the emperor, I am afraid that there are only Zhang Guoji, Cao Huachun, and the people of the Xu family.

"Bow down!"

At the moment when Zhu Changyuan was on the chair, the ceremonial officer shouted, and then, all the ministers hulala knelt down, touched the ground one by one, pouted their buttocks high, and looked funny.

Zhu Changyuan didn't laugh out loud.

"Worship!" The ceremonial officer continued to shout.

Then, the ministers kowtowed.

"Long live the three shouts!" The ceremonial officials read one by one according to the etiquette, and then the ministers shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

It took three shouts in a row to stop.

"Flat!" Zhu Changyuan stretched out his hand and asked all the ministers to stand up.

So far, it can be regarded as climbing to the throne, but there is still one procedure away from the real King's Landing: the Great Ceremony!

The ceremony is the enthronement ceremony, including: enthronement, sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, sacrifice to the ancestral temple!

Waiting for a set of ceremonies to be completed can be regarded as the system of the dynasty, and the king will be in the world. became the rightful emperor.

In fact, when the ceremony sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, it is also to show the people: you have an emperor, and you have someone you can be loyal to in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Congratulations. And shouted.

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said, "Officials of the Ministry of Officials." Draw up the enthronement ceremony, and inquire about the auspicious time, report to me! "The sound was smooth and soft, but everyone in the room could hear it very clearly.

Then, Zhu Changyuan's words just fell, and Qin Tianjian Zheng Tang Ruowang came out of the ranks. He arched his hand towards Zhu Changyuan and said: "Minister, Qin Tianjian is Tang Ruowang, the fourth day of the first month of the new year is a good day, and the enthronement ceremony can be held!" ”

It was the first time for Zhu Changyuan to speak to this foreign missionary, and he felt that his Chinese was very good, but the foreign flavor in his spoken language was a little strong, so he seemed a little stiff when he spoke.

Jiang Fengyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also further said: "The ministers report to Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu is also the fourth day of the first lunar month, this is good." The founding emperors of our Ming Dynasty all succeeded to the throne on the fourth day of the first lunar month! ”

Jiang Fengyuan didn't say the following words, but everyone understood that this time raised Zhu Changyuan's height to the same level as Zhu Yuanzhang.

But. And no one came out against anything.

"That's good!" Zhu Changyuan said: "The enthronement ceremony is set on the fourth day of the first lunar month, I hope that Zhuqing will prepare carefully and be cautious!" Thinking about the achievements of my ancestors, I didn't dare to change my ways, and still took the Ming Dynasty as the national name. In order to treat it differently, the Ming Dynasty before Chongzhen's thirteenth year is called the former Ming! Do you have any objections? ”

Final word!

The purpose of doing this is naturally to tell the world that Lao Tzu's position as emperor was not inherited from your Chongzhen. It was Lao Tzu who fought it himself.

After all, the merits of the founding king and the king of the establishment are not the same.

After listening to Zhu Changyuan's words, the ministers below. No one objected, and they all turned their hands up. He said in unison: "The ministers obey the edict!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Changyuan smiled and looked at the obedient ministers below, and said, "The cabinet has drawn up an era name for me to choose from, and it will be submitted to the Qianqing Palace tomorrow!" ”

"Obey the order!" Wei Zaode and Xue Guoguan knelt on the ground at the same time, leading the order!

Zhu Changyuan said: "Zhuqing has something to report to the cabinet, retreat from the court!" ”

Zhu Changyuan didn't bother to pay attention to those idle things, and handed over all the affairs of those mothers-in-law and mothers to the cabinet to deal with, anyway, the right to wear red is in the hands of Cao Huachun, and he will report to himself if there are important things, and he is not worried that those guys will get power for the time being.

Moreover, Zhu Changyuan believed that they would not dare!

On the afternoon of the day when Zhu Changyuan took office, the cabinet drew up four era names and submitted them.

Zhu Changyuan took the year name and took a look, "Qiansheng", "Xingfu", "Xianjia" and "Zhengtai".

The four era names are all very good, which "Zhengtai" Zhu Changyuan likes the most, but it looks awkward to read and read, always confused with Zhengtai in modern society, and whenever he reads these two words, he has a feeling of crying and laughing in his heart.

"That's it!" Zhu Changyuan pointed to the word Zhengtai and said to Cao Huachun: "Order the cabinet to reverse the order of the two words and make it Taizheng!" ”

On the 29th, Zhu Changyuan held a small-scale court meeting, only allowing the cabinet and the imperial prince Zhang Guoji to participate, his face was pale, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and said: "Yesterday, the eunuchs found the body of Empress Yi'an in Ciqing Palace, and it has been decorated overnight. ”

Xue Guoguan couldn't figure out Zhu Changyuan's intentions, hesitated for a little for two seconds, and then said: "Since it is Empress Yi'an, she should be buried in the Deling Mausoleum and buried with Emperor Xizong!" ”

Zhang Guoji burst into tears, as if he had really died of his daughter, and cried and said: "I heard that the queen was missing a while ago, and I thought she was plundered by thieves. Speaking of this, he suddenly found that his daughter was plundered by Zhu Changyuan, so he was so frightened that he quickly changed his words and said: "The minister thought that he was plundered by Li Chuang's thief army, but he didn't expect that he was martyred and died!" O Queen! ”

Zhang Guoji cried tears, like mourning.

Zhang Sizhi next to him looked crying and said: "Lord Zhang's Day mourning, the matter has come to this, I think it is better to bury the queen early!" ”

"yes!" Zhang Guoji bowed his head to Zhu Changyuan, and then said: "The minister suggests that the queen be buried in the Deling Mausoleum tomorrow, so that her soul will not be wandering and lonely!" ”

"No!" Zhang Si knew: "There is no need to be in such a hurry, now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, everything else can be postponed!" ”

Zhu Changyuan's face was furious, and he said: "The deceased is the greatest, I believe that with the ability of Zhu Qing, the enthronement ceremony will not be affected, so as Zhang Aiqing said, I will bury Empress Yi'an and Deling tomorrow!" ”

Zhu Changyuan is now the naked emperor, and there is no jade crown, jade clothes, and jade belts! He didn't want to wear the dragon robe given to him by Chongzhen, so now, like the rest of the people, he wore civilian clothes.

The others wore civilian clothes because the emperor wore civilian clothes, and they did not dare to wear official clothes.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the loss will come first, and the happy event will come later, something will be wrong!" Xue Guoguan bowed to Zhu Changyuan, and then said.

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, "It's okay, let's do it!" ”

"And!" Zhu Changyuan said solemnly to all the ministers: "My succession ceremony is imminent, there is no queen yet, and there will be no queen after succeeding to the throne in the future." Xiaohe County Lord and Gu Lun are both foreigners, not suitable for motherhood in the world, Concubine Chen has a cold temperament, and she shirked it when I discussed with her before, so you still have to bother to choose the queen! ”

Elect a queen!

After hearing this, several cabinet ministers were shocked!

Directly choose the queen!

But what, if you really want to make Concubine Chen the queen, do you need her consent or disagreement? Xue Guoguan and the others only had a trace of doubt flashing in their hearts, but they didn't really dare to ask.

"Minister, obey!"

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, this queen cannot be selected from the meritorious clan, but must be chosen among the people. In this way, the emperor can not only get the beautiful woman he likes, but also avoid his relatives from interfering in politics, and avoid the following lords from competing with each other, which is a triple win.

On the 29th, the so-called empty coffin containing Empress Yi'an was carried out of the Beijing Division, and the Kaide Mausoleum was buried together, and the whole country was vegetarian!

During this period, Zhu Changyuan got another good news from Cao Huachun.

Qian Qianyi and Wu Weiye brought many talented people from Jiangnan who had no positions to serve in Beijing.

Zhu Changyuan undoubtedly welcomes this point.

Moreover, according to the hindsight of history, he also specially arranged for Cao Huachun to invite a few people: such as Liu Zongzhou, the original waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Huang Daozhou, who later sacrificed his life to take righteousness.

But these are all well-educated people, famous Confucians, whether they can be pulled over is another matter.

Zhu Changyuan also wanted to merge those managers of Sun Moon Island into the Ming bureaucracy, but now was obviously not a good time.

After the funeral of Empress Yi'an, the common people of the whole Beijing Division began to be busy with the New Year.

Due to the attack by Li Zicheng, many residents of Jingshi fled, resulting in a much lighter New Year's flavor this year than before, but no matter how you say that Jingshi is also a super huge city, there are more people left.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhu Changyuan also made a special call to Lana.

Since she silently sent Fulin's mother Da Yu'er into Zhu Changyuan's room, Zhu Changyuan has gradually become a little dissatisfied with her, which Lana herself knows, so when she entered Beijing this time, she asked to stay on Sun Moon Island and not come with her.

Zhu Changyuan didn't force it, he wanted to snub her for a while, so that she could think about whether her mother's family or her husband's family was important?

"How? Lao Cao! Zhu Changyuan looked at Cao Huachun and laughed, and said: "What this king said is right, this year will definitely let you celebrate the New Year in the palace!" ”

Cao Huachun smiled bitterly and said as if he was constipated: "Your Majesty, you are not the king of Yanming now, you should be careful when you speak!" ”

Zhu Changyuan didn't care, and said hesitantly: "I can hold it in front of the people of the world, but I can only face Cao Gong, and I am still the old man!" Hahahaha. ”

Cao Huachun listened to Zhu Changyuan's words, was grateful, sighed and said: "The old minister really hates, why was he born thirty years early, otherwise he could still serve His Majesty!" ”

After the New Year, it will be the fourth day of the new year in a blink of an eye, a very important day for Zhu Changyuan and the hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty, because on this day, the enthronement ceremony will be held! (To be continued.) )
