After reading Zhang Yan, Zhu Changyuan took Cao Huachun and Wang Wu and walked back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Approaching the end of the year, there are scattered small snowflakes in the sky, not big in the north, but the marks are like knives, cutting people's faces with a pain of ice.

"Bang, bang!"

A few firecrackers rang out from time to time in the alleys near the distance, as well as the sound of naughty children laughing, and it suddenly seemed that the end of the year was approaching.

"Roar, roar, roar!" A bear child came out of the alley, holding a firecracker and a lit Buddha incense in his hand, and after leading the twister, he threw the firecracker at Cao Huachun, running and screaming as he threw it.

"Bold!" Cao Huachun's face was serious and scared a group of children away.

Zhu Changyuan looked at the street in the distance with a smile, and whispered out three words in his mouth: Bear child!

Cao Huachun naturally couldn't deal with a group of naughty boys, so he hurriedly followed Zhu Changyuan forward.

Zhu Changyuan looked as he walked, pointed to the shops and inns on both sides of the road and said, "What do you think is the difference between this year and previous years?" He turned his head to look at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun sighed, told Zhu Changyuan the truth, and said: "Back to King Yanming's words, this year's New Year is not as festive as in previous years, and at this time in previous years, the capital has long been red and colorful!" ”

To be honest, although the situation of Jingshi is much better now, it is still a lot worse than in previous years.

Zhu Changyuan nodded, looked at the shops on the street, and said, "It's okay, next year, it should be able to surpass before." ”

When I returned to the Qianqing Palace, I sat in the study in a daze after eating, and saw Cao Huachun running over from outside in a hurry, and said to Zhu Changyuan with a happy face: "Lord, happy event, happy event!" ”

Zhu Changyuan turned his head and said, "What's the happy event?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty has just received the news, Lord Xue and Lord Wei of the Cabinet are discussing the process of persuasion, and it may be that your name is to be corrected!" ”

Zhu Changyuan was inexplicably excited in his heart, and then barely kept quiet, and said to Cao Huachun: "Oh. This group of guys, if they don't do their business, they will this idle mind. ”

As soon as Cao Huachun heard Zhu Changyuan say this, he became anxious and said, "Your Highness." Lord, don't say that, now there is no owner in the world, and the people are displaced and don't know who they want, if you don't locate it this morning. Everyone in the world has ambitions, and the dawn is restless. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Zhu Changyuan's face did not fluctuate, Cao Huachun couldn't help but admire, and said in a low voice: "Today is twenty-four, according to the rule, there will be a big court meeting tomorrow, and the ministers are afraid that tomorrow the ministers will unanimously write to ask the prince to succeed to the throne, and you must not agree at that time." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Changyuan looked at Cao Huachun in surprise and said, "You mean, they are cheating?" ”

"No, no, no!" Cao Huachun fell to his knees. Said seriously: "Now that the prince has won the hope of the world, the ministers earnestly hope that the prince will take the throne as soon as possible, but no matter how they persuade him tomorrow, His Royal Highness will not agree." ”

Zhu Changyuan listened carefully, and Cao Huachun continued seriously: "If the subordinates expect it to be good, there will still be someone on the twenty-sixth day after tomorrow to ask His Highness to take the throne, and His Highness still can't agree." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Changyuan understood a little.

The ancient etiquette was not only cumbersome but also hypocritical, and Cao Huachun said that it was actually a good intention to refuse, which was the legendary "three pushes" when persuading in.

What is the "three pushes"? Someone who wants to be an emperor. After thinking about it for a few years and decades, this is something that everyone knows, but before they ascended the throne, they just showed that they were not in a hurry. I must act in a play, saying that ascending to the throne and becoming an emperor is not my will, but the mandate of heaven, but the will of the people, but for the overall situation. It was the result of everyone's recommendation, I had to ascend the throne as a last resort, I couldn't push once, push twice, push three times, and finally with the support of all the people, he reluctantly accepted everyone's support to ascend the throne.

These three concessions are a gesture, in fact, to show the legitimacy of his accession to the throne, to take this opportunity to declare that his power and his throne were given to him by heaven, that they were recommended by his subjects, and that they were obtained reasonably and legitimately.

Zhu Changyuan also knows something about these things.

Now that Cao Huachun has come over and said these words to himself, I am afraid that it is not as simple as he just heard that the cabinet is discussing the matter of persuasion, but that the people in the cabinet have clearly informed him and asked him to convey the relevant etiquette to Zhu Changyuan, so as not to make any ugly jokes in the court at that time.

"If the minister expects it to be good, at the court meeting on the 28th, the ministers will enthusiastically write a book, asking His Royal Highness to take the throne, and the prince will still have to resign at that time, if he really can't refuse, he can accept it, and then order the officials of the Ministry of Rites to set a good day and prepare for the enthronement ceremony!"

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said, "The widow knows." ”

Cao Huachun said a lot of rambling words, and after listening to this, Zhu Changyuan waved his hand to let him go down, and sat there alone in a daze.

Knowing that there are still a few days before the emperor, Zhu Changyuan's heart can't tell what it feels like, of course, the biggest feeling is excitement, after all, he is an emperor, even if he is a modern person who has crossed over from the 21st century, he can't help but be excited, that is a person with a heavenly constitution in his mouth, a person who follows the law, and a word can decide life and death, and he can see that any woman can plunder strongly, and despise the world above a hundred officials.

Who wouldn't want to be such a master?

Of course, in addition to being excited, Zhu Changyuan was also a little nervous. When the emperor has rights, he naturally has greater responsibilities and obligations, and a little inability to control the desires in his heart or a slight excessive use of power may lead to unimaginable disasters.

There is also a feeling to accompany it!

After all, the Ming Dynasty died in the country, and he also had a trace of stalk in his heart!

"Hey!" Forcing himself to exhale a breath and shake off the negative emotions, Zhu Changyuan got up from his seat and looked up at the night sky with his face up. The sky still hasn't cleared, and there are still small snow flakes flying in the wind.

These days, it has been snowing in Jingshi, and a thick layer has accumulated on the ground, and people are creaking when they step on it, and they feel cold when they hear it.

The next day, that is, December 25 of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changyuan was woken up by Cao Huachun early in the morning and was going to the early dynasty.

According to the rules left by Emperor Chongzhen, the hundred officials still went to the platform hall.

The platform is in the south of the Qianqing Palace, which is the meeting point of the inner palace and the outer court.

When Zhu Changyuan entered the main hall, many officials were already sitting and waiting in the side hall, and after he entered the main hall, the little eunuch shouted: "King Yanming has arrived, and the hundred officials are in the early court!" ”

The hundred officials were surprised, and each of them lazily stood up from their seats, lined up from the side gate to the main hall, and saluted after seeing Zhu Changyuan, and then lined up left and right.

Zhu Changyuan was dressed in a red python robe by the eunuch, and an exaggerated jade belt was hung around his waist, temporarily ranking first among the hundred officials.

Wei Zaode came out of the ranks, and said to Zhu Changyuan, who was also in the ranks of the hundred officials: "His Royal Highness the King of Yanming, now that the dragons have no leader, the country has no king, and I also ask the King of Yanming to supervise the country on behalf of the king." ”

"Please ask the king of Yanming to supervise the country on behalf of the monarch!"

His Royal Highness and all the ministers greeted Zhu Changyuan.

That's right, although there is no emperor now, although Zhu Changyuan is full of words, but after all, he is a courtier like them, and he does not have a proper title, if he can supervise the country, although he does not dare to say that he has monopoly power, he is also more powerful than ordinary courtiers.

Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath and said to the ministers: "Since you strongly recommend it, this king will be the one to do, and when the new monarch comes out, the widow will definitely return to power!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and bowed to the hundred officials opposite.

A eunuch hurriedly moved over a chair with a red cloth and placed it at the bottom of the throne and steps, which was level with the hundred officials, which was Zhu Changyuan's temporary seat.

The position of the Son of Heaven is high, just behind Zhu Changyuan, more than a meter higher than him, empty, and no one dares to sit.

"King Yanming is in charge of the country, and the ministers will see you!"

"Meet Your Highness!" All the courtiers bowed down without kneeling on the ground, but Zhu Changyuan sat upright on the chair, feeling a little awkward.

"Ministers!" A small official of the Ministry of Rites stood not far from Zhu Changyuan's body, acting as a eunuch and shouting, while the old eunuch Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Changyuan with a radiant look.

"The minister has something to play!"

Xue Guoguan and Wei Zaode came out from the left and right almost at the same time, holding jade wat in their hands!

The two courtiers rushed to do the work, which also made the court slightly embarrassed.

Zhu Changyuan stretched out his hand to Wei Zaode and said, "Lord Wei, let's talk first!" ”

Wei Zaode smiled slightly, threw a smug look at Xue Guoguan, and then bowed respectfully to Zhu Changyuan, took out a yellow silk scroll, and said: "The ministers are on the music, the king of Zhou is respectful, congratulations to the king of Yanming to drive out the Tartars, restore my great Ming, and send a persuasion table, may the king of Yanming be on the throne!" Eighteen kings, including King Gongquan of Suiping County, King Zaijian of Neixiang County, Wang Suwei of Yanling County, King Zaihua of Yingchuan County, Wang Qinyan of Linru County, and King Zaiqi of Shenqiu County, were named and asked to Yanming Wang Zheng for the position of the son of heaven. ”

Zhu Changyuan smiled and didn't speak, but just asked Cao Huachun to take back the persuasion table of King Zhou and the King of Henan and the land of Henan, and rubbed it in his hand for a while, with a slight peaceful smile on his face.

"Lord Xue, please play!" Zhu Changyuan turned his gaze to Xue Guoguan.

"Yes!" Xue Guoguan came out of the ranks, also holding the clothes and silk silk in both hands, as if he couldn't hold it heavily, walked in front of Zhu Changyuan, and said: "Lu Wang Zhu plays on the sea, Yanming Wanggong shines on the sun and the moon, and the crown covers Huaxia. Thirteen kings, including Leling County Wang Yifan, Zouping County Wang Shouqi, Anqiu County Wang Hongyao, Ziyang County Wang Yiyu, and Yangxin County Wang Hongyu, were named. ”

Then, the ministers, on behalf of the kings and county kings across the country, expressed their willingness to be ministers, Zhu Changyuan roughly counted, basically more than 120 clans with the title of the king in the Ming Dynasty are all on the table.

However, this also sounded the alarm for Zhu Changyuan.

These more than 100 vassal kings are more than 100 tumors for the people of the world.

When Zhu Changyuan was thinking about what words to use to refuse to appear more righteous, suddenly, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "Tang King Zhu Yujian asks to see!" ”

After Zhu Changyuan heard the name, he suddenly stood up from his seat. (To be continued.) )
