Chapter 499: A Generation of Emperors (37)
The next day, it was unexpectedly closed.
However, the officials of the Sixing Temple, Suzhengtai, and Qiuguan were not idle, and they were stepping up the trial of the sudden and extraordinarily serious case. Even Ji Xuan, who had been prepared for a long time, felt a lot of pressure, and the arrest of Erzhang Yu Dang last night, nearly 300 officials and generals, could not be tried in a moment and a half. What's more, with the deepening of the trial and investigation, there will be two remnants of the party who will be arrested. If His Royal Highness wants to engage in joint sitting, it is impossible to say that there will be another turmoil in the entire court.
It was also on this day that Wu Chuan announced to the world as the crown prince, listed the two crimes one by one, and finally sentenced him to death for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but he had already been beheaded. The veteran Su Honghui and others were also sentenced to 3,000 miles of exile for aiding and abetting abuse.
Such a notice made the world in an uproar, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was calculated by Erzhang and a group of veterans. As a result, there are large vacancies in both the army and the DPRK, and some families are like flies staring at rotten meat.
But what they don't know is that after the upcoming court layoffs of redundant officials, these vacancies are really not many.
It was also on this day that Wu Zang, as a prisoner of the country, transferred Di Renjie to the court.
A few days later, Di Renjie entered the court. Wu Chu summoned Lou Shide and Di Renjie late at night and talked all night. What exactly was said, except for the three people, no one knows. But on the second day, Di Renjie and Lou Shide went to the Palace of Eternal Life to meet the empress, and with the permission of the empress, the monarch and the ministers talked for a day, and it was not until night fell that the two old ministers left the Shangyang Palace.
The next day, the court.
Wu Zheng sat behind the imperial case, and after the hundred officials paid their respects, he was about to prepare the topic. I saw Di Renjie and Lou Shide coming to the hall with a golden box, and the officials saw it. The box is engraved with a relief of the cloud dragon Tianxiang. If it is as expected, the box should be made of gold. So what's inside?
When the hundred officials looked at the golden box in Di Renjie's hand, Wu Zheng looked at the faces of the two old ministers. Lou Shide and Di Renjie also looked at Wu Zheng, and a trace of joy flashed in their eyes.
Seeing that trace of joy, Wu Chu's heart suddenly settled, for several days, every time he asked to see, the empress did not allow it, and now seeing the joy in the eyes of the two, he knew that the big thing had been decided.
Really. Di Renjie shouted: "The holy decree has arrived, and the crown prince will receive the decree immediately before the steps!" ”
Wu Chu hurriedly got off the imperial case and knelt on the ground with the hundred officials.
I saw Lou Shide slowly open the golden box, and then took out a yellow silk scroll from it, then opened it carefully, and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they must take respecting the heavens and ancestors as the first priority." And respecting the heavens and the ancestors of the Dharma is based on the sincere heart, and there is no room for breathing. It's a night of hard work. Work hard every day...... The crown prince has become the master of the order of the generation, and I entrust it to win people, and follow the spirit of the ancestors and emperors in the sky, and it is also worthy of shame. The crown prince admires the accumulation of his ancestors. I have been taught deeply. Now that I am located in the prince, the prince should be a righteous person and do the right thing. Listen to the right words, don't be tempted by villains. Do not be deceived by heresy. The ancestral family is amiable, and the country is looking forward to it......"
A long edict of succession. In Lou Shide's rather sword-like tone, it also looked very pleasant, and the faces of the hundred officials were filled with a different kind of excitement.
After Wu Chu sighed in his heart, the stone in his heart finally landed, and he had finally come to this point.
Wu Chu received the order to thank him, and then the hundred officials bowed and congratulated.
As a result, Wu Zheng worshiped Di Renjie as the official secretary of the spring and was responsible for the enthronement ceremony. In the next court meeting, the enthronement ceremony was discussed on the topic of the enthronement ceremony.
After the next dynasty, Wu Zheng came to Shangyang Palace, he walked to the Yingxian Courtyard, met Wei Tuan'er, and the second Zhang was eradicated, and she, who was in charge of the empress's life and daily life, served the empress again. Wei Tuan'er seemed to know that the empress had passed on the throne to Wu Chu, so he bowed and said, "The slave has seen Your Majesty!" ”
Wu Chu wanted to stop it, but he thought that the enthronement ceremony would be in a few days, so he said, "Is the Holy One awake?" ”
Wei Tuan'er said: "Although the saint has woken up, he refuses to eat as if he has something on his mind. ”
Wu Chu thought about it for a while, and then said, "You go down." ”
"Yes, slave and maid retire!" Wei Tuan'er twisted his waist and walked out of the Yingxian Courtyard.
Wu Chu looked at the round buttocks and couldn't help sighing, this girl is really getting more and more flavorful, but there are too many things to pamper during this time.
Immediately, he came to the Palace of Eternal Life, waiting for the empress to summon him, and when night fell, Wu Chu was not summoned by the empress again, and his face was full of disappointment, so he left Shangyang Palace.
In the Hall of Eternal Life, the empress leaned on the head of the bed and asked slowly, "Is the prince leaving?" ”
The palace man bowed and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone." ”
The Empress asked, "How does he look?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of loss." The palace man replied.
"Oh......" the Empress closed her eyes.
After Wu Chuan returned to Tiance Mansion, he came to the Buddhist hall, and after he saluted his mother, he was silent.
When Wu saw his son's face like this, he knew that he had something on his mind and asked, "Is my son troubled?" ”
Wu Chu sighed lightly and said, "Mother, the saint has not eaten water and rice for many days, you can go and visit her." ”
Wu has been worshipping Buddha in this Buddhist hall for a long time, basically not asking about the world, so I don't know how the court is now, but when I heard Wu Chu say this, I thought that the empress was dying, so I said: "I know for my mother." ”
Saying this, Wu Chu left the Buddha Hall and did not enter the inner courtyard again, but returned to Tiance Mansion, the enthronement ceremony was imminent, and he needed to arrange the army, just in case. The Ryukyu Naval Division of the Black Tooth Changzhi was transformed into the Great Zhou Naval Division, and Guo Zhiyun's Wuwei Army was temporarily stationed in Luoyang, and after the enthronement ceremony, he slowly sorted out the army, of course, it was inevitable to abolish the Sixteen Guards, and he wanted to set up a garrison army and a conventional combat army. As for the government, he also decided to abolish the system of three provinces and six ministries, and instead replanned the naming of its functions, and formed a cabinet with the cabinet in charge of political affairs.
All this, at least before ascending the throne, there must be a general framework, so that the general trend of ascending the throne can be promulgated, and some unnecessary troubles can be saved.
Wu Chu was about to step into the study, and the guards outside the study bowed down and said, "Your Highness, Princess Yongtai is here." ”
Wu Chu was stunned. Then I thought of the strong girl who came to Luoyang for many days. I was so busy with everything that I forgot about this girl. He smiled. Nodding, he stepped into the study.
In the study, Yongtai Princess Li Xianhui was flipping through the books with relish, and she didn't notice anyone entering the study. When Wu Chu saw such a attentive woman, he walked to him, Princess Yongtai felt a dimness in front of her, exclaimed, and looked up to see Wu Chu, she hurriedly bowed and bowed. Said: "The slave has seen His Royal Highness......
Wu Chu looked at Li Xianhui wearing a water-colored long skirt with a slender figure, and couldn't help but admire, such a figure in the future generations, it is a model level, but in this era, it is not seen as such, at least it will be considered that it is not a birth and a child, and it will not last for future generations.
Li Xianhui was a little embarrassed, and her pretty face was red. Wu Chu smiled: "Do you want to be the king?" ”
Such straightforward words suddenly made Li Xianhui's shyness red on the white neck, she stomped her foot and said, "Your Highness." How can you be so ashamed of the slaves? ”
With that, he lifted his long skirt and ran out of the study.
Wu Chu shook his head and smiled. He didn't pay any attention to it, and sat down behind the bookcase. Sketch out your own grand blueprint.
On the first day of September in the second year of Shengong, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zheng, ascended the throne.
this day. Tell the world, worship the heavens, inform the temple, respect the empress as the emperor of the heavens, change the yuan to "Kaiyuan", take the meaning of "opening the era", and amnesty the world. And the implementation of the government reform, the formation of a cabinet, with Di Renjie as the first auxiliary scholar, Lou Shide as the second, Yao Yuanchong, Tang Xiujing and other deputy prime ministers as the group of auxiliaries. There are 12 ministries, including the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Auditing, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Supervision.
In this way, the functions of each ministry are obvious, and the science officials immediately understand the mind of the saint. Although some conservative officials were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept grievances under the enthusiasm of the DPRK and China. However, in this way, it also gives many officials a chance to become Shangshu-level officials. Originally, there was only one Shangshu in charge of the six departments, but now that there are six more, how can you not make those officials of the big families happy. Moreover, the heads of various ministries can enter the cabinet and become prime ministers, so who would object to such a good thing?
It was night, and the enthronement ceremony was over.
After the feast, Wu Zheng came to the palace. A few days ago, his own women moved into the palace, although they were not canonized, but all the women knew that the queen was none other than Princess Taiping. But deep down, Wu Chu was unwilling to make Princess Taiping the queen, one of them was a royal family, which made him a little worried that the Li family would not be able to lose in the future. He already had a favorite queen candidate in his heart, but it was a pity that his heirs were really not angry.
When he ascended the throne today, it stands to reason that he should go to Princess Taiping's room, but he hesitated. Wu Chu came to the Qinzheng Hall and sat silent.
After a while, Gao Lishi brought a plate, Wu Chu thought it was a delicacy, but thinking that he had just finished the banquet, this Gao Lishi was a little too stupid.
Gao Lishi didn't know what Wu Zheng was thinking, he bowed down and said: "Saint, this is the brand of all the concubines, and the saint can choose one person to be lucky." ”
In fact, Gao Lishi also knew that the saint should go to Princess Taiping's bedroom, but seeing that the saint did not want to go, he understood the meaning of the saint with a clever mind, so he brought up the sign that had been prepared.
Wu Chu was stunned in his heart, and then thought that the ancient emperors had a game of "flopping", but their women had not yet set the grade, is this flop bad? But he still looked at the sign on the plate, looking at the dense brand, Wu Chu was suddenly shocked, do he have so many women?
Immediately, his fingers started from the first brand, the sign of "Princess Taiping", and swiped through them one by one, for a long time, until the end, but not even a single one.
Gao Lishi was shocked in his heart, how could His Highness not turn it over? Don't want to go? Then I thought of one person, that is, Li Xianhui, the lord of Yongtai who entered the palace as a female official. He immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the Lord of Yongtai is in the Qionghua Palace. ”
Wu Chu suddenly remembered the strong and weak girl, and then he nodded and said, "Then Qionghua Palace!" ”
Qionghua Palace.
Li Xianhui was drawing, and an elf-like girl on the side was chattering non-stop, which made Li Xianhui frown.
"Wrap, can you be quiet for a while?" Li Xianhui said.
Li Bao'er, the county lord of Anle, suddenly said angrily: "Sister, now that you live in the palace and become a female official, you want to abandon your sister, that's not good, I also want to live in the palace!" ”
Li Xianhui was speechless for a while, she lived in the palace, not to be a female official, she just wanted to be able to see that man every day.
At this time, the eunuch outside the door shouted, "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”
Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er were taken aback, and Li Bao'er hurriedly said, "Sister, what should I do?" ”
Li Xianhui glanced around, and saw that the bed in this palace was relatively high, and immediately said, "Under the bed!" ”
Li Bao'er was helpless for a while, and then leaned over and got under the bed. At this time, Wu Zheng stepped into the Qionghua Palace.
When Wu Shu saw Li Xianhui, who was a little panicked, he waved his hand and waved the palace people away, and with the sound of the door closing, there were only two people left in the room.
"Slave...... Meet the Holy One! Li Xianhui owes a salute.
Wu Chu helped him up, looked at Li Xianhui, and said, "I think it's time for me to fulfill my promise tonight!" ”
Li Xianhui's face was shocked, but she also knew that she couldn't refuse tonight no matter what, so she nodded slightly.
Wu Chu slowly hugged Li Xianhui and said softly, "I will be very gentle......"
"En......" (To be continued......
