The minister outside the Zhengyang Gate scolded his mother in his heart, and Zhu Houxi, who was temporarily resting in the Zhengyang Gatehouse, was full of grief and indignation.

The old official Yuan Zonggao's face was wrinkled with walnuts, his lips trembled, and he said helplessly: "Your Highness...... Seeing that it was about to reach Shen Shi (three o'clock in the afternoon), I really couldn't do it, so I took a step back......"

Zhu Houxi stood up "Teng", gritted his teeth and said, "How to retreat?" Who is the king and who is the minister? You have refused three times, and he even insisted on entering the palace from Dong'anmen alone, didn't he just want to give Gu a horse and let Gu realize that he was a partial successor! If you retreat this time, Lone will be a puppet! Rather than that, it is better for Lone to go back to Anlu directly and continue to be Lone's vassal king! ”

When Yuan Zonggao heard this, he gasped, looked around, and saw that the room was full of henchmen of the palace, and there were no outsiders, so he straightened his waist and pleaded: "Please silence Your Highness, in this way, let the old minister say, Your Highness just waits!" ”

Although Zhu Houxi was holding back the fire in his belly, he also knew that Yuan Zonggao was thinking about him. If he comes forward to tear his face, there will be no room for maneuver if the other party does not compromise. In addition, he has not yet ascended the throne, and his name is not right, if he shows his edge, it may cause people to be jealous and cause accidents.

For this reason, Zhu Houxi did not show up in person during the stalemate this morning, and Yuan Zonggao came forward to deal with Yang Tinghe.

The old official behaved very resolutely, insisting that according to the edict, the heir emperor needs to enter the palace and enter the palace from the Daming Gate and the Chengfeng Gate.

originally thought that the ceremony had been carried out to Zhengyangmen, and Yang Tinghe would compromise, but he did not expect that he insisted on following the previous "ceremonial form" procedure, and refused to let the emperor's honor guard enter the palace from the main gate of the Forbidden City, and still insisted on going to Dong'an Gate.

Although Yuan Zonggao knew the disadvantages of entering the palace from the sideways, he was afraid of it now.

If it is because of this change that the throne of the prince is lost, it is because of a small loss. But when he persuaded the prince to forbear, he only mentioned this sentence lightly, and he didn't dare to say more.

The son of the world was grown up by him, seemingly modest, but very proud in his bones. After all, he is the prince and grandson, and he is the only son of the palace from the moment he lands, and the prince and princess hold it in the palm of his hand, and he is really not a character who can endure humiliation and burden.

Yang Tinghe, regardless of whether he was out of public or selfish intentions, only in front of all the civil and military forces in the capital, repeatedly refuted the emperor's face, which was already a taboo.

The prince just mentioned that he would continue to be the vassal king of Anlu, and others would think it was a bluff; But Yuan Zonggao knew that this was the true words of the prince.

Perhaps because the prince was born in a rich and noble land and was raised by the prince himself, he was not so keen on power, at least he was very indifferent. In the past two years of temporarily leading the affairs of the palace, although he managed the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner, he did not have to bow down to everything, but he firmly held a few subordinate officials in the palm of his hand, and sometimes beat them, so that the old ministers did not dare to bully the master. Even if he had the intention to promote the school companions, he did not replace the newcomers with the old ones immediately, but arranged for the companions to learn errands everywhere.

The son of the world is a master, and he already knows the way to go down at a young age.

Because he knew the bottom line of the world, Yuan Zonggao's waist was straight.

Although he had a tough attitude before, he suffered from gains and losses in the end.

Now it is much more liberalized, and no matter who drafted the edict, it has already been made clear to the world, and it is not easy to change the word. Even if Yang Tinghe wants to repent, it depends on whether the Empress Dowager Zhang is willing.

The throne has been vacant for a long time, Yang Tinghe is a foreign minister after all, and Empress Dowager Zhang also has to worry about whether there will be changes. After all, there was King Ning's rebellion last year, and Jiang Bin's misdeeds this year.

Only when the prince ascends the throne earlier can the situation of the court be stabilized.

Coming out of the room where the prince was resting, Yuan Zonggao squinted his eyes as he looked at the civil and military officials standing a few feet away, and sighed in his heart. Yang Tinghe really went too far this time, and his Royal Highness's temperament was not as lenient as it seemed.

Yang Tinghe had already seen Yuan Zonggao come out, and looked at him with a solemn face, his face tightened.

Yuan Zonggao didn't rush forward, he had already said it three times in front of Yang Tinghe, and it was not interesting to repeat the old words. He just needs to show his face and show that the palace is not compromising, and then wait for the news in the palace, Zhang Zuo has already gone to the palace on behalf of His Royal Highness.

Thinking of this, he looked back to the north, and his ears moved.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the north, because the emperor's guard of honor was going to enter the palace today, so the chessboard street in Zhengyangmen had been under martial law, heavily guarded, and the military and civilians were forbidden to pass.

However, there was no surprise on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, and turned back to see Shizi.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid someone is coming from the palace." Yuan Zonggao announced.

Except for the angel who preached the decree, who dared to ride a horse on the chessboard street at this time.

Shizi nodded with a "hmm", there didn't seem to be much change on his face, but Yuan Zonggao still saw the subtle changes. He lowered his eyes, and knew in his heart that he was not the only one who was worried just now, and the prince was afraid that he was also hanging in his heart.

After the tea, I saw Zhang Zuo hurriedly come in, and said with a happy face: "Your Royal Highness, under the decree of the Queen Mother, the throne cannot be vacated for a long time, and the heir emperor is already in the side hall, and the civil and military officials should be persuaded to enter!" ”

The prince still suppressed his joy, but when he was young, he still showed a little excitement.

Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down to receive Yi's order, but they were overjoyed.

The persuasion letter has been prepared by the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites a long time ago, and since it is the queen mother's decree, it should be on it. After going up, the heir emperor is of course qualified to pass through the Daming Gate and enter the palace from the Fengtian Gate.

In this battle of "ceremonial form", the emperor finally won.

Many people looked at Yang Tinghe's back and gloated, even if they covered the sky with one hand these days, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the pattern would be different......

Liangxiang County, the most prosperous is between the post station street and the county Yaqian Street, Wang Qi said that he is familiar with this side, and in fact, he is the second time to come here. It's just that because he was outside Guanyi Street and had two royal family members with him, he acted as a "landlord" in front of several partners.

Whether it is a Taoist idiot, or Lu Bing and Liu Congyun, they are all curious about the folk customs of this Gyeonggi market.

Lu Bing and Liu Congyun are the first to arrive in the north, although the Taoist idiot was a northerner in his previous life, the vicissitudes of the sea have changed after five hundred years, and it is a different taste.

Different from the Beijing dialect that brought the Northeast legacy in later generations, the current Beijing dialect is closer to the Hebei dialect and Anhui dialect of later generations. I heard that the earliest official dialect of the Ming Dynasty was Huaiyang, but after Taizong moved the capital, the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem were all selected by Zhili, and the royal accent changed. The upward and downward effects, the official dialect is a bit of a north-south confluence.

However, the top-class banquet in the restaurant is not the swallow wing seat with the style of Shandong cuisine in later generations, and it still maintains the Huaiyang flavor.

For Wang Qi and others, they are used to eating heavy oil and spicy Jingchu cuisine, while Huaiyang cuisine is a bit bland.

Even the chestnut chicken is sugar, and it doesn't taste much with everyone.

However, sitting in the upstairs private room and looking at the street view outside the window is also interesting.

After eating, they walked down the street, looking at the pedestrians.

The northern man did look taller than the Chudi man, but he was a little less Sven. Even if a scholar wearing Confucian clothes occasionally passed by, he also brought a strong man.

There are more women on the streets than in the south, and there is no shortage of girls with braids. Like in the south, most of the folk women are half-footed, and there are occasionally many women with small feet, but in addition to being graceful in walking, they are not bad at walking.

The four were looking at the pedestrians on the street, and the pedestrians on the street were also looking at the four teenagers. Except for Lu Bing, who is not outstanding with a young red face, the other three are all handsome young men with red lips and white teeth, and they are dressed elegantly, which attracts the attention of many little women.

When passing by the fan shop, the young woman leaning on the door, ten years old, came forward to solicit customers with a smile, and introduced how good the folding fan in her shop was one by one.

Everyone listened to the amusement, so they stopped, and Wang Qi swept the woman's chest with a smile, but seeing that the shop was half-covered and half-hidden, and the work vaguely revealed was tall and strong, he knew that something was wrong, and did not follow the little woman's words.

The two elders of the Wang family who had lived in Beijing for a long time were busy whispering to Wang Qi to move quickly.

Although the teenagers were not afraid of things, they also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble, so they stopped listening to the little woman's ramblings, got up and walked to Guanyi Street.

The little woman showed her unwillingness, but seeing that the four of them had brought a sturdy male servant, they did not dare to come forward to solicit customers.

When they were far away, Wang Qi asked the two elders, "But what's wrong with that little woman?" Soliciting customers on the street is not like a serious businessman. ”

An old elder replied: "Seventh son, that is a half-covered door." Under the guise of opening a shop, it is actually a private kiln. If you are entangled, you will have to break your fortune and avoid disaster. ”

Wang Qi heard this and said curiously: "Hasn't Liangxiang cleaned up public security recently?" Why are these people still there? ”

The chief said: "The arrests are all ruffians and hooligans, and these meat sellers are only closed for a few days." Now that martial law is lifted on the streets, they will come out to do business. A woman from a serious family in the capital, even if she is from a poor family, will not come out so unashamedly. These people are enchanting in front of them, and no matter how much they dress up like a good family, they are not serious people. The upper part occupies the name of a good family, and is constantly stained with right and wrong, and the light is to avoid disasters, and the worst is to lose his life. Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to being famous for chestnuts, all kinds of immortal jumps are also famous. If you stay here these days, you need to be careful. ”

It's not that he is talkative, but he was ordered by his master to stay here to serve Wang Qi, and everyone came out faintly to take Wang Qi as the main thing, if Wang Qi and others had a mistake, he wouldn't be able to get down.

Among the people, except for Lu Bing, everyone else knows the world. After listening to this long follower's words, I understood the reason after thinking about it.

Liangxiang County is a fortress in the southwest into Beijing, whether it is to enter Beijing to take the exam, or the gentry and businessmen to enter Kyoto to pass through here, this place is outside Beijing, the security is not as strict as the capital, for those who are out of the way, there is a lot to do......

The most tragic thing is not that you continue to stay at home during the National Day holiday, nor that you still catch a cold when you stay at home, but that you still have a cold. At night, I was groggy, thinking about the words in the morning, getting up early and eating and then sleepy, flipping through the books of Ming Dynasty etiquette, groggy for another day. The chapters owed will be made up before the end of the holiday. I watched the news every day and had the addiction of traveling, and then found that there were crowds of people everywhere. I wish you all an uncrowded holiday.

Pig-like life. The chapters that I owe will be made up as soon as possible, and I have watched the news every day and enjoyed it, and then I found that there were crowds of people everywhere, sweat. Have an uncrowded holiday.

Except for Lu Bing, who is still young, the others also know more about the world.
