Standing at the foot of the high steps, Wen Tianxiang squinted slightly and looked up at the glazed tiles of the palace that shimmered in the sun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info And the footsteps behind him sounded one after another, and the low voices of the ministers of the six ministries could be faintly heard. This is the first real grand court meeting after His Royal Highness returned from the north, to make up for the New Year's Day ceremony that was not held this year.

In this kind of grand court meeting, not only the officials in charge of the various ministries in Beijing, the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Hanlin Academy, including all the officials of all sizes went to the palace, but also the pacification envoys or transit envoys from all directions in the southeast, south, and northwest, as well as the commanders of the various armies or all the envoys, in short, even the state capitals and the army outside will send a person in charge of affairs to Beijing.

It is precisely because of waiting for the officials from Tiannan and Haibei to come to the capital that this court meeting will be delayed until nearly a month after Ye Yingwu's return.

Not to mention that since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, even the former Song Dynasty has not held such a great court meeting for a long time. Because this means that during the period of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the affairs of the entire dynasty will be in a semi-suspended state, and for the Southern Song Dynasty, which may break out at any time with the northern dynasty, once such a court meeting is not handled well, it is very likely that people will take advantage of the situation and hurt the fundamentals.

It is only now that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and all fronts have taken an offensive posture, can they be qualified to hold such a great court meeting.

There is only one strong dynasty, and Cai has the courage to hold such a big court meeting, because even if the officials of the world gather in the capital, the surrounding countries can only prostrate under his tiger and tiger majesty.

Wen Tianxiang stood under the main hall, and the officials who walked in behind him were densely packed. At this moment, a sense of pride and pride rose from the bottom of my heart. Wen Tianxiang Huo Ran turned his head and looked at Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu, who were getting closer and closer, and also looked at those civil and military officials with joy on their faces.

Everyone has been running north and south for the affairs of the imperial court, not to mention a few months, and they haven't even seen each other all year round, these generals and officials who once followed Ye Yingwu together to eat ice and snow and crawl out of the pile of dead people are naturally very close after meeting. Wang Jin and Jiang Hao had already hooked their shoulders and didn't know what to say, and Zhao Wenyi, Guo Chang, Li Si and several other officials with good relationships were also laughing together.

Wen Tianxiang dared to guarantee the ticket, and nine times out of ten, this group of guys was in Kan Dashan. However, even if you want the officials of the world to stand in front of this big hall, it is not so easy, behind this is also a symbol of the strong national power of a dynasty and the deterrent power of the surrounding countries.

Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu's faces were also very good.

This war, the Sichuan Shu Army, the Shence Army, a Ming army sang and marched, fought very bravely, and also played the military soul of the Ming Dynasty, and with several bloody battles, completely reversed the symbol of the army's incompetence in the hearts of the people, and triggered wave after wave of military climax, it is said that the folk songs related to the army have been born in just one month, and they have really achieved the point of being sung by families. The army won, Zhang Shijie, the secretary of the military department, had a light on his face, and Su Liuyi, the right prime minister in charge of the military, naturally shared the glory with him. After all, this big victory has been expected by the imperial court for too long, the military department has been waiting for too long, and the people have been waiting for too long.

Finally, the grand aspirations and expectations of a hundred years from Jingkang to today have become real.

The red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is in Heluo, Shandong, and the land of Guanzhong at this time, fluttering proudly. And the iron hooves of the Ming Dynasty, under this banner, are invincible!

As for Lu Xiufu, the reason is simpler happily, although Wen Tianxiang is in Sichuan and Shu in this war, Su Liuyi is in Lianghuai, the basic burden falls on him, the six departments of the unification association, the mobilization of the Hanlin Academy and the Yushitai to send people to help, it can be said that Lu Xiufu alone took on all the responsibilities of Ye Yingwu and the two prime ministers, in just two or three months, he has lost weight twice, and the dark circles under his eyes have also boiled out, it is said that after winning the war, the governor slept on the bed for twelve hours before getting up.

But none of this is important, the important thing is that Lu Xiufu finally fulfilled the last words left by his ancestors who were unsuccessful but went down in history.

Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng.

Although the king is no longer the king of the Great Song Dynasty, he is still the king of China, and he is still the king of the Han people under the red flag!

The Central Plains has been recovered, and it has been completely recovered! If the Mongol Tatars want to retake Mongolia again, they will have to step on the corpse of every Ming Erlang!

Wen Tianxiang arched his hand at Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu, who were striding over.

And the rest of the officials gathered around each other, looking at the three prime ministers with relaxed and happy looks on their faces, and their hearts naturally relaxed completely.

This great court meeting is the Zhujie conference of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the conference that announces the arrival of a new era.

A few days ago, the people of Nanjing knocked on the que, and the people of the state capitals in various places heard the news, and the persuasion table also flew to the capital like snowflakes, and even some great Confucians who have been hiding in the mountains and forests all the year round were alarmed, and the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences hurriedly replied respectfully. Everyone is naturally aware of such a big thing, and the process of three advances and three resignations before ascending the throne is also understood by civil and military officials who are familiar with history books.

Wen Tianxiang invited hundreds of civil and military officials once, but Ye Yingwu resigned.

Ye Yingji and Zhang Shijie invited the imperial relatives again, but Ye Yingwu refused.

The people of Nanjing led the people of the world to invite Ye Yingwu to the throne again, and this time Ye Yingwu no longer had any excuses and reasons to resign.

Unless he really doesn't want the throne anymore.

Of course, this is impossible, because even if Ye Yingwu had a whim and returned to the mountains and forests, Wen Tianxiang and his meritorious ministers would definitely not be willing, but in the end, the brothers also gave His Royal Highness King Ming a yellow robe, and everyone pushed him to be the emperor, and he couldn't be allowed to refuse!

Therefore, the most important thing in today's court meeting is naturally the accession of His Royal Highness King Ming to the throne. And for this destined event, these old men of the Ministry of Rites have been gearing up for a long time with a group of young people, just the various ceremonies, etiquette and processes listed are enough to have two thick books, and they are all dazzled by Wen Tianxiang, and they can't wait to press these people from the Ministry of Rites to the ground and beat them. But if you think about it, you can bear it, after all, the Ministry of Rites usually has nothing to do, and finally it's their turn to appear, and they have to give people a chance to perform.

The Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, which were responsible for drafting the sacrificial texts and the inscriptions, wrote all kinds of articles one after another under the supervision of Liu Chenweng and Deng Guangjian, the two senior brothers Ye Yingwu, and the historical books and anthologies of the past and present have all been turned out, and they have been referred to word by word. It can be said that the Academy and the Hanlin Academy, which gathered the academic masters and scholars of the entire dynasty, have completely fallen into a state of madness in the past few days.

Enthronement memorial texts, people almost write such a thing once in their lives, these Confucian Confucians, who usually regard themselves as high, face in the face of such an opportunity to pass on the annals of history, what face has long been thrown out of the clouds.

"Song Rui, don't come unharmed!" Lu Xiufu took a step forward and said with a smile.

Wen Tianxiang rolled his eyes suddenly, this guy has been in a particularly good temper since Ye Yingwu's eldest son was born, smiling every day, even when the war was in full swing, he was tired and paralyzed, and it is said that he has not seen him complain or bury anything.

Lu Xiufu also doesn't care about Wen Tianxiang, Lu Wanyan, as the wife of Ye Yingwu Mingmei, can give birth to the eldest son, which is definitely a good thing for the Lu family, because it means that Lu Wanyan's status is becoming more and more consolidated. After all, there is no simple way for the three wives and four concubines in the Ye family's back house, not to mention the princess of Xinyang in the former dynasty who was hidden by Ye Yingwu's golden house, just Wang Qinghui, a little girl, and there are also two Huai troops commanded by Wang Anjie behind her, and Yang Xu has six doors and brocade guards behind Yang Feng, which may not be anything in a place like the capital, but out of the gate of Nanjing City, it is definitely the master of the same, who dares to offend?

It can be said that while these nobles of the dynasty checked and balanced each other, they also closely united the entire Ming Dynasty and all strata of the Ming Dynasty through their relationship with Ye Yingwu beyond the monarch and ministers, and became a community of interests implicated in each other. Just above this court, the six departments, the Yushitai and the Hanlin Academy, the people in power and Ye Yingwu are basically related to each other, not to mention the generals who are outside who have either played with Ye Yingwu since childhood, or were promoted by Ye Yingwu in the grassy and reckless end, and they can be called loyal to Ye Yingwu.

Although Su Liuyi has now left the army, he still walks with the demeanor of a soldier and walks sonorously, as if this guy is not here to go to the court, but to fight. Especially this time, he controlled the two Huai armies to go north, running back and forth on the front line, and the sporadic flesh and fat that had been raised for a few months had also dissipated at this time, making the right prime minister look more powerful and murderous, and those generals also saluted respectfully when they saw him.

After Ye Yingwu formulated the training outline, he has been running around, so the backbone veterans in the main armies of the Ming Dynasty are actually trained by Su Liuyi. And Su Liuyi was also labeled as Ye Yingwu's party early because of this reason, and under the effect of the two sides, this general who had to bend to Ye Yingwu with the burden had to keep in touch with Ye Yingwu.

And Ye Yingwu's unique elite line and several real victories also made Su Liuyi completely on Ye Yingwu's side. For a guy like Su Liuyi, who is born to be reasonable, Ye Yingwu didn't try too much to win over and even try to get married, because he knew that Su Liuyi couldn't pull back the ten carriages after he saw the right direction, and if he tried to win him over, it would seem that he didn't trust Su Liuyi.

"Ren Zhong." Wen Tianxiang nodded slightly at Su Liuyi.

"Song Rui Xianggong." Su Liuyi smiled.

The three of them stood at the foot of the stairs with their hands in their hands, and behind them, hundreds of civil and military officials, a group of heroes.

At this moment, the elites of the Ming Dynasty are all here!

――――――――――――――

When the door of the court opened, when the civil and military officials rushed in, standing on both sides of the palace gate, Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai, who were the commanders of the Praetorian Guards and the commanders of the soldiers and horses in front of the palace, subconsciously glanced at each other, and then pressed the sword with their hands, straightened their waists, and stood without moving.

Not only the two of them, from the entrance of the main hall inward and outward, the soldiers of the forbidden army stood solemnly, like flagpoles that would never fall down in the morning sun.

These men who fought in the blood and fire of the north, just by standing here, there is a strong cold murderous aura that is difficult to look at, and only the blood in the enemy's neck can be forged after the fighting of thousands of troops and horses.

When Wen Tianxiang and the others walked through the palace gate, they all nodded and smiled at Jiang Tie and the others, and the commanders and envoys who came from afar behind them greeted them even more. When everyone followed His Royal Highness King Ming to the north and south, they all scooped up rice in a pot to eat, even if they didn't see each other for a long time, this kind of comradeship that once trusted life and death still can't be wiped out.

More importantly, this time, if there was no cavalry of the Praetorian Guard to help, the final battle would have been decided, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to achieve such a victory in Guanzhong, thus casting a trace of haze over the mighty Northern Expedition that should not have been.

This is the Praetorian Guard of the Ming Dynasty and the hero of the Ming Dynasty.

As for those officials who stayed in office in the previous dynasty, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts when they walked past the wolf-like Janissary soldiers. The decadent appearance of the Praetorian Guards in the previous dynasty, they knew very well, it was just some flowers and fists that the imperial court spent money to raise and find some comfort and security for the emperor and ministers, not to mention letting them fight, even if they really pulled out to practice and drill, they might make some unimaginable jokes.

At the time of Jingkang, the 800,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang scattered in a hurry, and they were not even as strong as the people who rose up to resist. Later, in the second year of Xianchun, the Mongolian Tatars broke through Lin'an, and the forbidden army did not even have a decent defense, so they erected white flags and scattered birds and beasts.

But now, the Praetorian Guard in front of him is completely different!

Elite, hero, number one in the world, countless halos are worn on them, and after that, they are killed by them and bloody battlefields.

Many ministers of the former dynasty subconsciously squinted slightly at Lang Lang Qiankun at this moment.

The new dynasty and new atmosphere, this Ming Dynasty, which is completely different from the former Song Dynasty, is exuding a thriving momentum everywhere. Whether it is these excessively young civil and military nobles around him, or the Janissary soldiers who stand in the sun.

"Young, energetic, vigorous." Chen Zongli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, muttered, and immediately smiled and followed the three ministers of the dynasty, and was the first to take steps into the main hall.

However, when His Royal Highness King Ming appeared in the main hall dressed as the Son of Heaven, all the officials realized that the youth of the Ming Dynasty was not only limited to the army, nor was it limited to the civil and military officials, but also reflected in the body of the Son of Heaven. Young and promising monarchs and ministers, invincible army, this is the most distinctive symbol and impression that the Ming Dynasty brings to everyone.

Ye Yingwu lifted his robe and sat upright on the golden dragon chair on the steps.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The civil officials were headed by Wen Tianxiang, and the military generals were headed by Su Liuyi, the civil officials bowed with their wat and bowed, and the military attachés bowed on one knee, and the crowd fell down like the wind blowing wheat waves, and stood up in this majestic voice.

The civil officials on the left and the military generals on the right are clearly and orderly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are exempt." Ye Yingwu said with a smile. Although he now claims to be His Royal Highness King Ming, since he has agreed to ascend the throne, he will naturally not regret it. And just now, the civil and military officials opened their mouths no longer "Your Highness", but "My Emperor".

These guys are also quite acquainted, or rather, this day, they have been waiting for a long time.

Before Ye Yingwu could speak, Wen Tianxiang had already stood up respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, looking at Wen Tianxiang's posture, it was obvious that he had already discussed it with the civil and military officials, and then he spoke as the prime minister of Zuo on behalf of all the hundred officials. As for what it was about, Ye Yingwu could already vaguely guess it.

"Since His Royal Highness became king, the Ming Dynasty has been using the name of the former Song Dynasty, waiting for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne, and showing that the Ming Dynasty inherited the former Song Dynasty. Now His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, and it is very inappropriate to follow the name of Xianchun, and the minister thinks that when the name of the Yuan Dynasty is changed, it means that His Royal Highness is orthodox. Wen Tianxiang said unhurriedly.

As soon as the words fell, Su Liuyi, Lu Xiufu and others had already stood up: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Ye Yingwu snorted: "Prime Minister Wen Cheng's words are reasonable. It's just that I don't know what kind of ministers think that what kind of era name can better reflect the posture of the Ming Dynasty, and the determination to merge the Ming Dynasty to benefit all the people in the world and refresh and improve the system? ”

Obviously, the Hanlin Academy and the Academy have made sufficient preparations for this matter, and Liu Chenweng has already made great strides out of the ranks at the moment, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the system of era names, there have been hundreds of precedents for all era names, and the use of era names is needless to say, and the things that should be discussed are implied by the names of the era names. The era name should reflect the rule of His Majesty in the current dynasty, civil and military virtue, or the expectation of peace in the four seas. Now His Majesty's martial arts, the real thing is learned, and it seems inappropriate to take the word 'Wen' or 'Wu' as the founding year name of the country, so the Hanlin Academy and the Academy think that the latter should be taken, praying that the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"What do you mean by the Hanlin Academy and the Academy?" Ye Yingwu looked at Liu Chenweng, who was confident, and knew that he must have thought of the most suitable one, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Liu Chenweng paused slightly under the gaze of a pair of eyes, and then said: "Among the era names listed by the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, the ministers think that the most suitable should be Yongle. The world should be Yongle, Your Majesty should be Yongle, and all the people should be Yongle! (To be continued.) )
