Weng Tongyi came to the Wude Gate of the Hot Spring Palace early today, a few quarters of an hour earlier than when he was the minister of the Imperial Study in the past. As the commander of the Aegis Guard, he will be jointly responsible for the security of the Inner Zen Ceremony together with the commander of the Yingtian Garrison, the Shangshu of the Ming Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the head of the Hot Spring Palace.

But when he arrived at the Wude Gate, it was already full of people standing outside.

Vermilion, gray, and blue official robes and uniforms are clustered in the square outside the Wude Gate. They are all Ming civil and military officials who came to participate in the Inner Zen ceremony.

Weng Tongyi found Nan Bendao in the crowd, this Japanese-German woman has no son, no husband, and no family, and her only daughter is Zhu Jishi's chief maid. can enter the palace without worry. Unlike the situation of previous dynasties, the head of the court was not an official with rank, but just the housekeeper of the emperor or the emperor, but he was a hot figure. The new incumbent was dressed in a Tang-style skirt and was handing out breakfast to the officials with a few elderly female officials—all women who had not started a family and were ready to die in the palace. Since the implementation of the responsible cabinet system, the Ming court rarely held a large court meeting, so there is no shop vendor outside the Wude Gate who sells breakfast to officials, out of concern for the officials' stomach, every time the court, the palace will prepare breakfast and lunch. It's a very simple diet, but it saves officials from starvation.

Weng Tongyi watched coldly from the sidelines, and every official was respectful to Nan Bendao—as the commander of the Aegis Guard. He also knew that during this period of time, there were many people in the political and business circles of Daming who wanted to tie up the mother and daughter, but there was no way out. Obviously, everyone knows who is really the one who makes the most of his word!

Little by little, time passed.

The Wude Gate is still not open. I don't know how the body of Emperor Guangfu of the Ming Dynasty is today? Can you stick to the whole Inner Zen Ceremony?

Such a question is entangled in the hearts of every Ming official whose status is not high enough and who cannot understand the inner workings of the palace - although the Ming court has repeatedly declared that the emperor is in good health, and the news heard by the big figures in the political and business circles of the Ming Dynasty through various channels also proves this, but the Son of Heaven who is less than 60 years old still makes everyone uneasy.

On the other side of the Wude Gate, there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps.

There was a sudden silence in the square outside the door. Then the door opened. Not only the side doors on both sides were wide open, but even the main door, which had been closed all year round, was also opened. This main gate will only be opened when the Son of Heaven officially enters and exits the palace or when the crown prince ascends the throne.

'The prince of thirty years has finally become the emperor! ’

The ministers who followed Emperor Zhu to fight the world back then were all thinking in their hearts. They all "watched" Zhu Guoxiong grow up, and now they have watched Zhu Guoxiong ascend the throne of the emperor with their own eyes, and the last stone hanging in their hearts is also counted on the ground - the emperor's eldest son Zhu Guojie and Zhu Juan, the king of Donghua, the two royal bloodlines, have no chance of the Ming Emperor's unification!

Because Zhu Guoxiong is only in his thirties this year. The health is very good, and there are four sons-in-law, the eldest is ten years old, there is a successor to the Ming Emperor, and the Ming Dynasty can have at least decades of stability.

And the next person to come out of the Wude Gate is Zhu Yuanshan, the minister of the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Yuanshan, who is one of the few Ming royal families who are not of Zhu Jishi's lineage, and he is also the father of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is here to read Zhu Jishi's edict to the ministers.

The edict was drafted by Weng Tonggong and was the last edict he wrote in the position of minister of the imperial study. Although it is brilliantly written, few people have the heart to listen to it, and everyone is only concerned with the most crucial paragraph: 'The crown prince can be the emperor.' I was called the Emperor Taishang, retreated to the Hot Spring Palace, and the queen was called the Empress Taishang. ’

It's finally settled. ’

When Zhu Yuanshan passed on the decree, Zhu Guoxiong had already changed into a dragon robe and sat on the throne that originally belonged to Zhu Jishi, and let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Emperor. What does it feel like to sit on it? Zhu Jishi sat on a small chair next to him and asked with a smile.

"Erchen only felt that there was a weight of 10,000 catties on his shoulders." Zhu Guoxiong is serious and authentic.

"Really? I have been in the world for 30 years. Don't you feel like it's a burden. Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "Emperor, do you know what I was thinking when I first became emperor?" ”

"I don't know."

"I'm thinking that I should let the Tokugawa family send more beauty and women for me to enjoy, so as not to live up to the good years in vain."

Zhu Guoxiong was stunned, above the panicked hall, the Emperor Taishang of the Ming Dynasty was actually saying such a thing. He paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Erchen asked Brother Xingyi to choose some more beauties and daughters for his father." ”

Zhu Jishi laughed and said, "Xiong'er, you really know how to be a filial son!" But the women around me are enough, so I don't bother you and Xingyi. His tone suddenly sank, "Xiong'er, you and the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can't be as absurd as me." First, you don't have such authority as me, the great tomorrow is restored by me, and the rivers and mountains of Wuhua Zhuxia were all created by me, and in the eyes of all the people in the world, I am a god, supreme, and cannot be blasphemed.

Second, the times are also different, and the constitution, the parliament, and the enlightenment of the people are different from those of previous generations, and it is the road to strengthening the people and enriching the country. But when the people are strong, it is not easy to be a king. If I want to indulge in pleasure like this, I am afraid that I will be hated by hundreds of millions of people in the world. The lessons of the revolutions in the European countries should be taken as a warning. ”

Zhu Guoxiong said: "Father and emperor can rest assured, and the sons and daughters understand." ”

Zhu Jishi, the emperor, is probably the most comfortable one since China had an emperor. Not only is the martial arts unprecedented, but also the money in the pocket is more than the emperors of all dynasties, and the number of beauties around him may not be the most, but it brings together the stunning colors of the East and the West, which is enough to make the emperors since ancient times drool. But such a comfortable day is just Zhu Jishi's generation. Zhu Guoxiong's emperor can't be like this......

"By the way, how are the things of the Great China Empire discussed?" Zhu Jishi continued to ask.

"We're talking." Zhu Guoxiong said, "Everyone wants a looser federation, with Da Ming as the elder brother, Si Hua as the younger brother, and Zhu Xia as the son and nephew." ”

"No one wants to be too constrained." Zhu Jishi said lightly.

"Erchen also thinks so, Wuhua Zhuxia should be brothers and nephews, so that they can get along in harmony." Zhu Guoxiong continued, "Now the election of the Imperial Parliament of Greater China, the formulation of the Constitution of Greater China, the establishment of the Foreign and Military Council of Greater China, the establishment of the Greater China Customs Union, the merger of the Royal Bank of Daming and the Bank of Tung Hua, and the Bank of New Japan into the Bank of Greater China have all been adopted. What has not yet been agreed is the conditions and procedures for the admission of new members. ”

At present, the countries participating in the negotiations on the formation of the Great China Empire are: Daming, Donghua, Xihua, Beihua, Nanhua (not yet formally established, but there is already a provisional government), Japan, Korea, New Japan, Dali, Ryukyu, Luzon, Donghui, Siam, Arakan, Dannarsalin (principality), Jinzhou, Phnom Penh (principality), Luang Prara (principality), Vientiane (principality), Champasak (principality), Bhutan (principality), and Bhutan (principality).

However, the Taiping Kingdom, the Western Qing Kingdom, and the Jida Principality that are now subject to the Ming Empire, the Kingdom of Java, the Principality of Makassar (Sulawesi), the Principality of Timor (including Timor Island and the surrounding islands, of which Timor Island is a former Portuguese colony and was forcibly occupied by the Ming Dynasty), the Principality of Bali (including Bali, West Nu Sha Tenggara Island, East Nu Sha Kang La Island, Sumba Island and other islands), Molu Principality (Maguru Islands), and 10 countries such as New Guinea and New Zealand that have not yet been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, As well as some small countries scattered across the Pacific Ocean, none of them are currently confirmed to join the Great China Empire.

Moreover, in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that no other small country will envy the Chinese civilization and want to join the Great Chinese Empire. So the Great Chinese Empire should be a united empire that is allowed to join. Then there is the question of the conditions for joining......

"Well, this question must be taken seriously!" Zhu Jishi nodded, "Of course, the Great China Empire can't join casually, and it can't just quit!" Because once they joined the Great Chinese Empire, their citizens could move freely throughout the empire, and the population could move to the wealthy states of the empire...... In effect, it is sharing the wealth and welfare of the entire empire. If anyone can join, the resources and living space of the Greater China Federation will not be enough for everyone to share in the future! ”

"Erchen understands." Zhu Guoxiong nodded, "But the Taiping Kingdom and the Western Qing Kingdom don't seem to have any intention of joining at the moment." ”

"I know," Zhu Jishi smiled, "Both the Taiping Kingdom and the Western Qing Kingdom have their own national conditions, and they are indeed not suitable to join the Great China Empire. However, these two countries are all subordinate to my Ming Dynasty, and this will not change, and I dare not change. ”

The Great Chinese Empire has a constitution and a parliament, that is...... It can't be lawless, but the Western Qing Kingdom and the Taiping Kingdom are countries without a constitution and no parliament. Among them, the Taiping Kingdom is still theocracy, and internally it is still called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"The Western Qing Kingdom and the Taiping Kingdom still maintain the status quo, although there is now the Great China Empire, it does not mean that my Ming Dynasty can no longer accept the vassal state." Zhu Jishi stroked his beard and explained, "The members of the Great China Empire are all brother states of the Ming Dynasty, and the vassal states are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the treatment of the two is completely different. ”

"Erchen understands." Zhu Guoxiong replied respectfully. Although he is now the emperor, in front of Zhu Jishi, the emperor, he still only listens to the teachings.

At this time, the attendants who were waiting outside the main hall suddenly shouted: "All kings and hundreds of officials enter the palace to worship!" ”

Then several doors of the main hall were all pushed open, and the civil and military officials of the Ming Empire and the kings of Zhuxia in Yingtian all lined up to enter. They came to worship the new monarch and the emperor, and the inner Zen ceremony of the Ming Dynasty has officially begun now. (To be continued)
