Chapter 168: The Storm of Yantu
Inside the Wuying Palace.
After Zhu Yunwen's resignation, the ministers visited Zhu Yunwen for the first time with the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and set the status of the monarch and the minister, from this moment on, Zhu Yunwen was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen was at a loss to watch the ministers bow three times and bow in front of him, solemnly and formally paying homage to him as a courtier, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt a panic, and a feeling that he had never experienced spontaneously.
The hall was full of kneeling, only to see the top of the black press, and the ministers bowed to the ground with their heads, although they couldn't see the expressions on their faces, Zhu Yunwen could see their respectful and surrendering attitudes from those prostrate bodies.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned, the treatment of the grandson and the Son of Heaven was completely different, he felt very nervous, and even had a feeling of being in a dream.
This...... Is it the Ninety-Five Supreme? Is this one man in heaven and earth, and I am the only one?
Zhu Yunwen felt very complicated at the moment, sadness and dazedness, panic and joy, intertwined in his heart for a moment, watching the ministers kneel in front of him, all his emotions suddenly turned into an indescribable loneliness.
I...... From this moment on, is it a lonely person? There are rituals in deeds, and there are things in words, and they can no longer run and jump like before, talk and laugh, and are locked in the deep palace from now on, only the endless criticism, the inexhaustible national politics, the inexhaustible planning of the imperial city, and the creeping figure that can only see the backs of others forever...... Emperor's Throne...... Will I lose all my joy?
Zhu Yunwen raised his increasingly panicked eyes, and unconsciously searched for the crowd of worshippers, he didn't know what he wanted to search, he only knew that he was very lonely and helpless now, a heavier responsibility than a mountain was heavily pressed on his shoulders, and something called happiness was quietly leaving him, trying to catch it but couldn't catch it.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up.
In the crowd of people who bowed to him respectfully, there was a pair of eyes looking at him with a smile, the eyes were dark and bright, neither humble nor arrogant, and at the solemn moment of worshipping the new monarch, only these eyes were the least attentive, as if bowing to him was just a game full of mischief played between friends, so careless, but this kind of eyes made people feel the most warm and comfortable.
The black eyes squeezed at him with a smile, very indecent.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen suddenly smiled with relief.
He felt peace and tranquility that he had never felt before, and he finally found that he was not alone, there was a person, he was from a humble background, he occasionally messed around, he often pulled himself to do some things out of tune, so that he was always in a state of worry, crying and laughing, but he felt very warm and comfortable.
It turns out that happiness has never been far away, who said that the emperor must be ruthless and ruthless? Even if I, Zhu Yunwen, am in the ninth five-year plan, I still have friends, and I am not alone!
Friend, what a precious treasure!
At this moment, the haze in Zhu Yunwen's heart disappeared, the sun seemed to dissipate the dark clouds, and his sky suddenly became clear.
The ministers were still bowing to him, Zhu Yunwen's expression was solemn and solemn, but at the moment when the ministers bent down, he quickly stuck out his tongue at Xiao Fan, and then made a very distorted grimace, and then quickly returned to normal.
"Poofβahem, ahem." Xiao Fan, who was hiding in the middle of the ministers, was frightened by Zhu Yun's hideous face, and couldn't help coughing loudly, and in the quiet hall, the rapid coughing sound was very abrupt and harsh.
At such a solemn moment, this guy was a moth again, and the ministers immediately turned their heads and glared at Xiao Fan, and everyone's expressions were very dissatisfied.
ββ¦β¦ Xiao Aiqing, what's wrong with you? Zhu Yunwen asked seriously, showing concern.
"Ahem...... Xiao Fan coughed so much that Junjun's face turned red, he covered his mouth and tried his best to suppress the laughter that came out of his mouth, and hurriedly shouted with excitement: "...... The old and the new alternate, everything is new, my Ming Dynasty is like a red east, endless, the minister is extremely happy, happy is extremely difficult to help wowββ"
After speaking, Xiao Fan raised his hands high as if he was worshipping a Bodhisattva in the temple, bowed down to Zhu Yunwen, hid his head on the ground, and saw his shoulders trembling and shaking.
The ministers suddenly felt for a while, Lord Xiao is concerned about the society, and he has some feelings...... The strength of this sycophant is not high, and the ministers hurriedly followed Xiao Fan to raise his hands and continue to worship, like the worship ceremony of a cult, and shouted in unison: "The ministers are also very happy, and they can't help but wowββ"
"Poof-cough-cough-cough......" Zhu Yunwen couldn't help it.
This guy! It's really bad to always surprise people, make a good serious scene a miasma, and make people laugh and cry...... The ministers who were bowing looked up at Zhu Yunwen in amazement.
Zhu Yunwen was embarrassed, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation to put on the appearance of a high-minded Ming Jun, and shouted excitedly: "My Ming Dynasty is endless, and this is the destiny of heaven!" Ladies and gentlemen, I must be a good emperor! β
Huang Zicheng frowned, and reminded coldly: "Your Majesty, you should be called 'I' at this time......
Zhu Yunwen was as good as a stream, still maintaining his excitement, and changed his words: "...... I must be a good emperor! β
"Poof-cough-cough-cough......" The two brothers seemed to be infected with the flu, and now it was Xiao Fan's turn to cough again.
Fortunately, the ministers were moved by Zhu Yunwen's ambitious words, and they bowed to the ground one after another, covering Xiao Fan's cough.
"My Emperor Shengming! Hooray, hooray, hoorayβ"
On May 24, the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen was proclaimed as the second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and officially stepped onto the stage of history.
Next, it is for Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral, Zhu Yunwen as the new monarch, issued the first holy decree, announcing the national funeral, music and dance are exempt, because Zhu Yuanzhang's will said that the funeral can be three days, do not interfere with the folk marriage, but after Zhu Yunwen and the ministers discussed, it was changed slightly, and the three words were changed to March, and the national funeral was in March, no troops shall be raised.
May 26, 31st year of Hongwu. After the grand and grand funeral, under the monks and Taoist rituals organized by the Jingshi Daolu Division, and in the sound of the scriptures recited by the monks and Taoists in unison, Zhu Yunwen led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to send Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin to the mausoleum.
The mausoleum has been repaired in the 14th year of Hongwu, located at the southern foot of Zhongshan outside the city of Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Queen Ma was buried here after her death, because Queen Ma was called "filial piety", so the mausoleum was called "filial piety".
Zhu Yuanzhang lived a simple life, and did not want to build a lot of construction because of the things after his death, about the things after his death, it was also mentioned in the will, but he was willing to be buried with his wife Queen Ma, just open the filial piety palace, and place his coffin with Queen Ma, and the funeral ceremony is simple.
The stone door of the underground palace of Xiaoling slowly opened, Zhu Yunwen knelt in front of the tomb with tears in his eyes, and watched the Han general carry Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin into it.
This great old man who wrote the legendary history of China officially bid farewell to the stage of history, and was silent and serene with his wife forever under the underground palace, never to see the sky again.
A new page in the history of the Ming Dynasty is slowly opened by the new monarch kneeling in front of the underground palace......**************************************************** grand funeral is completed, Zhu Yunwen officially accepted the visit of the six Jiuqing and the meritorious duke and earl in the Fengtian Palace, and under the auspices of Zheng Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony began.
After Huang Zicheng and Huang Guan and other scholars of the Hanlin Dynasty, as well as the ministers of various ministries jointly discussed, Zhu Yunwen agreed to change the year name from next year, the year name will be changed to "Jianwen", this era name is Zhu Yunwen in consideration of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the ministers too much, and there were many innocent people who died in the people, this move violated the peace of heaven, Zhu Yunwen in order to reverse and change the political atmosphere of the Hongwu Dynasty's martial arts and murder, so he deliberately proposed to change the era name, and used a "Jianwen" year name that is diametrically opposed to the meaning of "Hongwu", which means "to kill and stop martial arts, and establish literary skills".
The determination of this era name made all the ministers of the court feel relieved and happy.
They have already seen from the era name that a civilized dynasty with prosperous rule and gradual slaughter is slowly showing its prototype, and a glorious and prosperous era comparable to the Han and Tang dynasties is brewing and growing.
The country has a Ming Jun, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and the Ming Dynasty is very fortunate! Zhaomin is very lucky! Sheji is very lucky!
The next step was to enthrone the throne according to the custom, the new emperor issued an edict to enthrone the prisoners of the world, and rewarded the ministers of the court for their hard work.
At the same time, Zhu Yunwen made some slight adjustments to the officials of the six ministries in the court, Zhang Zhen, the former secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was transferred to the right capital of the imperial history, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials was replaced by Chen Di, the former secretary of the criminal department Yang Jing and the left capital of the imperial history of the Zhao were transferred to each other, and Tie Xuan, the former judge of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, was transferred to leave Beijing and served as the political envoy of Shandong.
After a small adjustment of the officials of various ministries, there was finally some small turmoil.
Jin Yiwei commanded the envoy, Cheng Yi Bo Xiao Fan was named by Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen wanted to raise Xiao Fan's title to marquis, but he didn't expect that as soon as the words came out, he was fiercely opposed by the Qingliu ministers led by Huang Zicheng in the court.
Huang Zicheng's attitude is very resolute, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first emperor has been very stingy with the title of minister, except for those who are famous generals from the dragon, few ministers were given knights by the first emperor after the founding of the country, in the Ming Dynasty, the title represents merit, on behalf of seniority, Xiao Fan, a young Huangkou child, has not contributed to the country, and there is no prominent civil rule or martial arts to highlight in the court, the first emperor named him a Cheng Yi Bo so that he can barely be worthy of the two county lords who married him, which is purely just to give the royal long face, has nothing to do with Xiao Fan himself.
Now the new emperor feels that one earl is not enough, and wants to give Xiao Fan a knighthood, how can this be!
Huang Zicheng fiercely opposed, "If you dare to promote him, I will hit your head and die to show you!" ".
Zhu Yunwen was frightened by the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, and at the same time he was full of wonder that Xiao Fan's popularity was so bad, he had to look at Xiao Fan with resentment and apologies, and put the matter of upgrading the title down for the time being.
Xiao Fan didn't think about it, after all, he really didn't make any contributions to the country, and he didn't have any outstanding achievements in cultural and martial arts, and he didn't even think about being promoted to a marquis.
Besides, the old liar told him his fate, saying that his life was extremely expensive, and he was the appearance of a prince, which showed that he would be a prince sooner or later,ββ and he would become a marquis so early, how could the author make up the number of words to cheat the manuscript fee.
However, if he doesn't want to return, he is humble not to be promoted to marquis, and others block it with a lever, this is pure looking for a draw, especially the person who blocked it was Huang Zicheng, who had a lot of disagreements with him, which made Xiao Fan feel very uncomfortable.
Xiao Fan looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is very careful, and if he has revenge, he will take revenge! If you wait for the day to report, the daylily will be cold!
The matter of rewarding the ministers passed in this way.
After the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Yunwen wore a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe and a winged dragon crown, and officially began the dynasty as the emperor.
And the Jianwen court team headed by Huang Zicheng and Xiao Fan also began to operate slowly.
What was the first major event facing the Jianwen Dynasty?
Every minister's heart is like a mirror, what else can he do except cut the domain?
Zhu Yunwen's confidant ministers, Xiao Fan, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others, often gathered in the Wenhua Hall after the dispersal of the dynasty, which also became the main place for Zhu Yunwen's living and summoning the ministers of the court, and the Wuying Hall retained the original appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was alive, and he was not allowed to move at all, so as to send Zhu Yunwen's sorrow for the emperor's grandfather.
In the Wenhua Palace, the afternoon sun shines through the mahogany window lattice, obliquely shining on the two rows of Taishi chairs in the hall, the floating dust visible to the naked eye is flying and swaying in the sun, on the soft couch of the main hall, Zhu Yunwen is wearing bright yellow casual clothes, combing his neat black bun, and pulling a bun with a square scarf on the top of his head, he is trying to straighten his body, listening to Huang Zicheng gushing about the disadvantages of the vassal king, although the disadvantages of the vassal king have been repeated countless times before, but Huang Zicheng likes to repeat it countless times, as if he doesn't mention it, Zhu Yunwen will completely forget how harmful the vassal king's policy is to the country.
In addition to Zhu Yunwen in the hall, there are also Xiao Fan, Ru Yu, Yu Xin, Storm Zhao, as well as Qi Tai, Huang Guan and others, it can be said that the ministers who support the cutting of the feudal domain are basically present.
ββ¦β¦ Therefore, the old man saw that it was imperative to cut the feudal domain, and if the feudal king did not cut it, the country would have no peace, and the society would be in danger! Today, there are Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the Ming Dynasty who often invade the border, and there are wolves inside, which can be described as a time of internal and external troubles......"
Huang Zicheng's indecisive saliva made Zhu Yunwen resist the urge to yawn, he was always reminding himself, now that I am the emperor, I can't be as unserious as before, an emperor must have correct and decent words and deeds, the minister is talking, and it is very impolite for the emperor to yawn...... but I really envy those who can yawn...... "Ha......" Xiao Fan sat on the chair next to him, honestly and unceremoniously yawned, his mouth opened wide, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with tears in his eyes...... "Presumptuous! Xiao Fan! You...... What is your attitude? Huang Zicheng was furious.
Everyone in the hall was in high spirits, and immediately stared at Xiao Fan.
Compared with the dull and boring vassal king, the bickering between Huang Zicheng and Xiao Fan is undoubtedly much more interesting, even Zhu Yunwen cheered up and looked at Xiao Fan with great interest, seeing how he responded to Huang Zicheng's anger,ββ everyone's life has been boring recently.
Xiao Fan was startled, looked around, and saw that everyone was staring at him with an expression of watching a play, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "Mr. Huang, you said, you said, the lower official is out of shape, I'm really embarrassed......"
"Humph! What the old man said, could it be that Commander Xiao disagreed with the adult? So bored that you want to sleep? Huang Zicheng was so angry that he couldn't stop shaking.
"Sir's words are serious, Xia Guan has been a little sleepy lately, summer is coming, this ...... You know......" Xiao Fan smiled at him embarrassedly: "...... If Mr. Huang changes your words to Allegro or rap, the lower officials will be in good spirits when they hear it. β
Huang Zicheng sneered: "Since Lord Xiao disdains the old man's words so much, the old man wants to hear Lord Xiao's high opinion, what Lord Xiao thinks about the matter of cutting the domain, the old man is willing to hear about it." β
Xiao Fan was puzzled: "This ...... Mr. is in front, and the lower officials still don't trespass, right? It's rude like that, so let's ask the gentleman to tell me......"
"No, the old man has to listen to you today!" Huang Zicheng looked very stubborn.
Zhu Yunwen and the ministers on the side shouted together as if they were coaxing: "Say it, Master Xiao, don't be polite, say it......"
Xiao Fan sighed and said with a bitter face: "Since Mr. Huang must be said by the lower officials, the lower officials dare not disobey, so they have to make a fool of themselves......"
Saying that, Xiao Fan took out a thin notebook from his arms, the cover was dark green, and then held it with both hands to Zhu Yunwen, and said: "Regarding the matter of cutting the domain, the lower officials have some shallow opinions, which are all recorded in this notebook, please take a look at it Your Majesty and your colleagues, whether it is okay or not is just the personal opinion of the lower officials, and please don't make fun of it......"
Everyone saw that Xiao Fan's views on cutting the feudal domain were actually written in a book, which showed that Xiao Fan had put a lot of effort into cutting the feudal domain, and couldn't help nodding secretly, no matter whether his argument was feasible or not, Xiao Fan's attitude was definitely worthy of affirmation and praise.
Even Huang Zicheng, who was angry, saw the notebook, his angry expression eased slightly, and he glared at Xiao Fan as if approving and still angry.
Xiao Fan smiled awkwardly: "............"
Zhu Yunwen took the notebook, and then opened it with a little urgency, he wanted to know what Xiao Fan, who has always been surprising in words and deeds, had to say about cutting the domain,ββ it was really exciting!
The book is very thin, about a dozen pages, Zhu Yunwen opened it, and as soon as he saw the first page, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss-" Zhu Yunwen looked up in shock, glanced at Xiao Fan, and then quickly lowered his head, and then turned the next page.
Soon, the second page was opened, and Zhu Yunwen gasped again.
"Shhh..............................h Every time Zhu Yunwen turned the page, he gasped, as if he had seen a ghost, which made the ministers next to him itch very much, they stared at the small book in Zhu Yunwen's hand, and guessed what shocking remarks Xiao Fan wrote in the notebook, which surprised him today...... After a long time, Zhu Yunwen finally read the content of the entire book carefully and carefully.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yunjun's face was slightly distorted and looked at Xiao Fan.
"Xiao Shiyu, this ...... Is that your opinion? Zhu Yunwen glanced at Huang Zicheng quickly, and his handsome face gradually turned red.
Xiao Fan brushed his shirt neatly and said, "Your Majesty, exactly, the minister's shallow opinion is really not on the table, which makes Your Majesty laugh." β
Zhu Yunwen's face twitched twice, trying to maintain a normal expression, and nodded: "You can't go on the stage...... Well, it's a bit hard to get on the table, so let's pass it on to the ministers, and everyone will take a look at Xiao Shiyu's proposal to cut the domain, well, and finally pass it on to Mr. Huang, please Mr. Huang...... Well, connoisseurship ......"
When Zhu Yunwen said this, his face was distorted, as if he was trying to hold back a smile.
Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand and handed the small book in his hand to Ru Yu, who was sitting under him, Ru Yu took the book and couldn't wait to open it, just like Zhu Yunwen's reaction, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he gasped with a "hiss-" sound.
Seeing Ru Yu's expression, these ministers couldn't hold it anymore, and they rushed to Ru Yu's side regardless of etiquette, scrambling to look at the little book. - They are so curious, what is written in this book, no matter how shocking the remarks are, they will not scare people like this, right?
Only Huang Zicheng sat motionless on the chair, and glared at Xiao Fan with disdain.
So it's a trick, grandstanding, it's a talent, but that's it!
The ministers gathered behind Ru Yu, leaned their heads and looked at the book, and suddenly, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked the same as Zhu Yunwen, very shocked.
Then, the ministers began to talk quietly around the small book.
"This ...... It's a picture, it's not written! β
"What is painted here...... Ah! I really can't stand it, I can't stand it! The one who spoke shouted that he couldn't stand it, but in fact his eyes were wider than anyone else's.
"The woman in here...... It seems to be the fairy girl of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, hey! That's the red card of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion......"
"Huh? How can the man in the picture be exactly the same as Mr. Huang......"
"Shhhh
Everyone looked up at Huang Zicheng at the same time, and quickly lowered their heads and continued to look at the small book.
"The posture in this...... Ouch! Even this pose can be posed, it's amazing! Jiang is really old and spicy, I really can't see ......"
"Awesome, awesome!" Everyone raised their heads at the same time and looked at Huang Zicheng with respect and admiration.
Huang Zicheng was so talked about by everyone that he couldn't sit still anymore, he felt his scalp tingle, and at the same time had an ominous premonition,ββ today he was put on a swing by Xiao Fan's little bastard!
Regardless of being polite, Huang Zicheng hurriedly walked in front of the ministers, snatched the small notebook with his hand, and opened it with a trembling hand, and the contents on the book almost made him faint on the spot.
I saw that on these dozen pages of small book, all the paintings were pictures of the Spring Palace, and the naked heroine in the picture was the appearance of the fairy girl of Nuanxiang Pavilion, and the male protagonist who was scratching the silver and had many postures was actually him Huang Zicheng himself!
Huang Zicheng turned two pages and his eyes went black, staggered a few steps, and almost fell headlong.
Trembling, he raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Fan, Huang Zicheng's old face was flushed, and he was angry: "You...... Xiao Fan! You...... You shameless bastard...... How dare you arrange the old man like this...... Old man ......"
Xiao Fan had an inexplicable expression, reached out and took the small book in Huang Zicheng's hand and looked at it, and then Xiao Fan was shocked: "Ah! Excuse me! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The minister took the wrong book! The minister really got the wrong book! Not this, not ......"
Zhu Yunjun's face turned red, gritted his teeth to maintain his expression, and said, "Well, you took the wrong book, this ...... I already knew, I already knew......"
Huang Zicheng met the admiring eyes of the ministers, and suddenly felt embarrassed, an old face was green and red, and he wanted to die on top of this hall to show his innocence.
Xiao Fan turned his head to look at Huang Zicheng with an apologetic face, and said guiltily: "Mr. Huang, you have to believe me, I ...... It wasn't meant to be......"
"You...... You bastard! Say, why do you want to paint the old man's appearance? When will the old man ...... with the immortals of Nuanxiang Pavilion? Is this too much? Huang Zicheng trembled, staring at Xiao Fan with an extremely angry expression.
Xiao Fan hurriedly said in a panic: "Xia Guan is wrong, Xia Guan will burn it......"
Zhu Yun was anxious and quietly stabbed him: "Hey! Don't burn it! Keep it for me to take a good look at for a few more days, such a good thing, what a waste of burning......"
Xiao Fan replied softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I still have more than 300 at home, and they are all Mr. Huang'......"
Zhu Yunwen smiled with relief: "...... That's great. β
Following Zhu Yunwen's side, recording the emperor's words and deeds at any time, Gu Cheng wrote hard in the notebook he carried, and whispered while writing: "At the beginning of June of the 31st year of Hongwu, Huang Zicheng, the official of Chunfang, and the fairy girl of the Nuanxiang Pavilion were compatible, and painted on paper, and his annihilation was obtained by Xiao Fan, who was commanded by Jinyiwei, Xiao Fan was presented directly in front of the emperor, the emperor saw that his painting was unsightly, and he was quite displeased, and the decree was burned after the imperial review, Huang Zicheng was ashamed, and he couldn't speak, and the matter was publicized in the imperial court......"
Reading and reading, Gu Cheng raised his head and glared at Huang Zicheng with a very disdainful and contemptuous gaze, and then lowered his head and wrote hard: "...... It can be regarded as a scandal in the imperial court, and it is known as the 'Emperor Yantu Turmoil'! β
Huang Zicheng didn't mention it in one breath when he heard this, he almost fainted, he stomped his feet with hatred, and shouted with grief and indignation: "Your Majesty take care, old man...... The old man is not alive! β
Saying that, Huang Zicheng lowered his head and slammed into the dragon pillar next to the hall!
Xiao Fan was shocked, hurriedly hugged Huang Zicheng's waist, and said loudly with relief: "Don't be stupid, calm down!" β¦β¦ Brother Guanxi! β
