Chapter 899: Establishing the Crown Prince
readx;
Not everyone can enter the palace, there were so many people in the last dynasty for thousands of years, and most people's impression of the court meeting was obtained from someone's "Eunuch Traces". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the high platform in front of Fengtianmen, the emperor sits upright, and the honor guard composed of eunuchs and internal guards is arranged in the spacious open space in front of Fengtianmen, according to their own ranks and yamen, officials from all over the place are lined up in the open space.
There are officials and eunuchs who specialize in singing, there are imperial historians who picket etiquette, and there is a band in charge of drumming, and the whole scene looks solemn.
In fact, the court meeting with such a regulation "will only be held on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and on weekdays, it is only the emperor and the bigwigs discussing politics in the Fengtian Hall or Wenyuan Pavilion."
The court meeting was entirely a ceremonial event, and his purpose was mainly to let the officials see the emperor and increase their sense of belonging and honor in this solemn and solemn ceremony.
However, the day of July 15 is not the same, Wanli ascended the throne to the eleventh year of Wanli, Wanli Emperor will sacrifice to the ancestors on this day, and this day is the time of the Bon Festival in the people, Wanli Emperor will also invite monks to pray for his mother, express his filial piety.
The rule of the twelfth year of Wanli does not exist, what does it mean, of course, everyone understands in their hearts, on the fifteenth day of July in the tenth year of Wanli, the great court meeting held by Emperor Wanli is more different from previous years.
The first and fifteenth days of the new year were purely ceremonial, and almost all the Beijing officials on the six grades arrived, and "so many people" such a noisy scene "It is impossible to discuss politics."
However, Emperor Wanli has already made a decree, and at this court meeting on July 15, he will announce the matter of establishing the prince, which is really a big event.
Even the civil officials who had no interest in it were excited, and those who were noisy and involved were even more ecstatic, and the Wanli Emperor did not use the court as a silent protest, and this protest finally came to an end under the pressure of the foreign court, and he wanted to give everyone a result, after the decision of the prince was given, "the situation will change greatly."
Even the prince can not follow his own wishes, "then in the future the right to speak in the government will also be greatly weakened, this time the leading thing is the linkage of the foreign dynasty Qingliu, the decisive turning point is caused by the Empress Dowager Cisheng of Cining Palace, in the future these two parties will become the new core, the government in the hands of the hand.
And the Wanli Emperor and the inner court forces he relies on will continue to be virtualized, and Wang Tong, who has always kept everyone in his throat, and those wealth forces in his hands "will be slowly blurred and eaten by everyone."
Since the change of Tumubao to the present, the government and the opposition are the world of literati, and there will be eunuchs to control it in the short term, and this kind of day when an internal guard general instigates the implementation of domestic and foreign policies is too abnormal" But fortunately, this kind of abnormality is only a few years, and it will soon be back on track.
There is also a meaning to the establishment of the prince this time, "that is, to tell the incumbent Son of Heaven and the next few Sons of Heaven" who is in control of today.
It is the scholars, it is the scholars who have achieved fame in the imperial examination, the emperor can kill one or two, but it is inseparable from these scholars to govern the world, and the general flow of the world depends on the opinions of the scholars.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of July, as usual, "the lower the rank of the official, the earlier they came, and they waited in their positions in a proper manner, and naturally, the two imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and several bigwigs of the cabinet were the last to come, and they walked on the road left in the middle of the official queue.
Shen Shixing looked ahead, his expression was indifferent, he was still the kind of prime minister, walking forward unhurriedly, Xu Guo was bowing his head, and Wang Xijue was obviously a little uncomfortable, from time to time he looked left and right even if he was a Beijing official, or even a lot of four-grade and five-grade officials, that is, at the great court meeting, he had the opportunity to meet the cabinet scholars and the six Shangshu and the imperial history, the central core of the court.
The appearance of the second assistant Wang Xijue made some old Lang officials can't help laughing, this Wang Cifu has a very strong ability to do things and see things, but his temperament is a little unstable, and people in their forties often have the appearance of teenagers.
However, although Shen Shixing and Xu Guo are in the usual state, they can still feel a little low, and with Wang Xijue's appearance, this is even more illustrated.
Compared with the depression of the cabinet cadres, "the scholars behind can be described as complacent, Yang Wei walked alone behind the cabinet members, and the scholars and the imperial history are behind Yang Wei, which highlights his status" It seems that he is different.
There was a whisper among the officials on both sides, Yang Wei's disciples instigated this time, "the result was to achieve the purpose of their instigation" and formed an alliance with the Empress Dowager Cisheng, how will it be obvious that Yang Wei will have the status of Zhang Juzheng back then, and he will tilt the power towards the government and the opposition.
"I heard that after this court meeting, the people below will be connected in series?"
"Impeachment of Shin Shousuke that ......"
"Tut, the next step is to push Yang Wei into the cabinet, it is said that he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the position of the official secretary on this body does not need to be excitedly removed, what a glory!"
"It's worth it to do this, Yang Dazai has done it to such a point, not to mention ensuring his wealth for three generations, and making great achievements, this generation is no longer worried, will the next generation of the Son of Heaven forget this great benefactor......"
"Look at Wu Zuolai over there, he is proud, it is said that his position has been decided, first go to be a patrol, and then wait for the development step by step!!"
"This is unbelievable, you don't want to think about who other people's teachers are!" , The officials are talking a lot, at this time the salute official has not come out, everyone can be casual, everyone's words are full of envy and jealousy of Yang Wei's officials, Yang Wei's officials, especially Wu Zuolai, are even more proud, and the fast action has begun to go over to please.
If you are close, you can still hear Wu Zuolai raising his voice there: "Brother Yao Bo is righteous and outspoken, before he became angry, he is still suffering in the edict prison, and everyone has to go up to rescue him!" ”
There was a voice of echo around, and the people standing at the outskirts of the official queue were all those who were cold or with little seniority, and they looked enviously at the colleagues and companions in the inner circle who were close to Wu Zuolai and Yang Wei, and they either ridiculed or scolded in their hearts, and then looked boredly at the Han generals standing in the outer circle.
Although the Han general is also in the Jinyi guard system, but it is the regulation of the honor guard, responsible for standing there to show the royal majesty, those who have seen the Han general ten years ago know that the Han general is in different positions, and the new and old clothes are also very different, the farther away from the emperor's position, the more worn the armor is, and there are even patches and broken dng.
Emperor Longqing once found out about this and wanted to blame the relevant officials, but then he couldn't do it, but ten years later, the armor on the Han general's body became more and more bright, no matter how far away from the throne, it was so, the palace gradually had silver, and these brocade guards in charge of the honor guard were getting better and better.
Don't talk about them, those brocade guards outside the palace are even more gone, wearing brand new robes, walking on the streets with their chests folded, the people of the partial life feel more and more that they are the ones who preside over justice, and the civil officials are becoming more and more ignored, but they will not be long in the past, and after today, the Qingliu people in power will bring these things back little by little, so that these internal guards can return to their former tattered appearance.
"Quiet nnnn"
I don't know when, on both sides of the Fengtian high platform, in various places where the officials stood, there were more than a dozen eunuchs standing there, and after ringing the cloud board on the platform, the eunuchs all shouted in unison.
The eunuchs who shouted here were all specially selected, and they had already practiced many times, and more than a dozen people shouted at the same time, and they suddenly suppressed the noise in the square" The big xi officials all stopped talking at this time and began to tidy up their robes and robes.
"Soraku NNN"
Someone shouted loudly, and the monotonous and solemn music sounded, "The Wanli Emperor wearing a crown robe appeared on the high platform, and the singing officer shouted: "Bai nnnn", the officials bowed to the ground in unison, the Wanli Emperor sat on the throne, and the singing officer shouted loudly: "Nnnn", and the officials got up, "The members above the third rank are very close to the throne, and they can clearly see that the Wanli Emperor has a sneer on his face, and everyone is unimpressed, young people are like this, and their resistance can only sneer many times" Maybe he has to show that he doesn't care in front of his subordinates, but the overall situation has been decided, so sneer!
Kneel down, this is just the beginning of the etiquette of the Great Remnant Society" The singing officer who was served by the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites shouted at the top of his throat again: "See the ceremony, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!" The etiquette of three bows and nine bows and long live the emperor has just begun, and the officials are kneeling down to "kowtow" eulogy, this ceremony is quite difficult for the civil servants over fifty years old, but when Yang Wei and his people do this, the mood is completely different, although they are kneeling, but their mentality seems to be sitting on the high platform by themselves.
"Libi NN"
As the salute singer finished speaking, he himself retreated into the queue, and Emperor Wanli waved his hand gently, and the scene was silent, and everyone waited for Emperor Wanli's words.
"The matter of establishing the prince, your ministers have been fighting for more than two months, and the political affairs have been taken care of, and today I will make an order to determine the position of the prince, so as to calm the hearts of your ministers."
Emperor Wanli exhaled, the sneer on his face became heavier, and he said loudly: "Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng, is very agreeable, and I am determined to make him the crown prince."
