The Fengtian Hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the figure that stood up. Wearing a beam crown, dressed in the uniform of a second-class civil official, although his body is not very tall, he has a majestic bearing in his gestures, and his two eyes reflect a sense of vicissitudes.

"Shi Kefa, Shi Xianzhi!" The ministers were surprised. Since the Yixing Rebellion, Shi Kefa and Hu Dawei, Chen Qianfu and others returned to Nanjing, and they have been criticized, because of his mistakes, it also indirectly caused the tragedy of the Fu King Zhu Yousong and the Yixing Emperor.

But everyone didn't expect that at this critical moment of Lichu, he made a different voice.

As early as the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Emperor Xiaolie issued an order to include Zhu Ping'an in the clan and establish the identity of his clan. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, before the fall of Jingshi, Zhu Ping'an led the army into King Qin, and Emperor Xiaolie was grateful for his loyalty, and issued a special edict to establish him as the prince of Tang, which is well documented. ”

Shi Kefa talked eloquently, telling a dusty past.

After Emperor Sheng'an succeeded to the throne, there was a similar content in the edict issued, which was nothing more than to confirm that Zhu Ping'an had contributed to Sheji and re-established his position as the son. I am afraid that many of you in the temple today have survived these edicts with their own ears. ”

"Emperor Hongwu established the ancestral system of the eldest son inheriting the throne on that day, nothing more than not wanting to see future generations fighting for the throne and causing a rebellion against the Xiao Wall. But among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, many of them were not born in sons-in-law, and the eldest son of the emperor inherited the throne everywhere, so there is no need to list them one by one! ”

"What's more, when Zhu Ping'an was guarding the high wall, he repeatedly led the army to fight against the Eastern Captives and thieves, and he led the army into King Qin, rescued Emperor Sheng'an, and made my Ming Emperor's heir survive. In this Nanjing turmoil, Zhu Ping'an was the first to raise the banner of righteousness, entered Beijing to quell the rebellion, assisted the Son of Heaven to succeed to the throne, and saved the Ming Dynasty from danger. ”

"Therefore, the minister recommended Zhu Ping'an as the prince today, and I implore Your Majesty to think twice!" After speaking, Shi Kefa saluted solemnly and bowed back to the civil official sequence.

Shi Kefa's words shocked the whole room, and Huang Daozhou looked at Shi Kefa with a complicated expression, but Shi Kefa looked straight ahead with his eyes, not moved by the noise around him at all, and his expression was the same as usual.

Huang Daozhou sighed secretly in his heart. The night before yesterday, he invited Shi Kefa to share a car, just to persuade Shi Kefa to stand on his side, at that time, Shi Kefa's expressed will was contrary to his own, but he was never able to persuade him to change his mind. Unexpectedly, today, he was the first to stand up and clarify his mind.

From this point of view, the two chaos in Nanjing did not make him lose his mind, but became more and more courageous, and the style of handling things became more and more resolute, and the style of the cadres and ministers had already loomed. But for Zodiac Zhou, it is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Zhu Yujian, who was sitting on the throne, also didn't expect that Shi Kefa would be the first to stand up and object, his face couldn't help but be a little ugly, looking at the reactions of the ministers, Zhu Yujian took a deep breath, but he didn't make a sound.

After that, Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Zhenfei, who were overjoyed, stood up and echoed one after another, and Zeng Ying and Lin Xuji, who were among the cabinet ministers, also seconded the proposal. Zheng Zhilong, who was already a little breathless, immediately began to signal his side to start fighting back, and for a while, the court seemed to have returned to the battlefield of the party and government in an instant, and it was very lively.

In the midst of the noise, Zhu Ping'an looked at Shi Kefa a little strangely, but the sudden appearance of this person was also beyond Zhu Ping'an's expectations. Shi Kefa did not follow the crowd, but this time he insisted on his own ideas, which was in stark contrast to the hesitation when he supported King Fu at the beginning. It seems that this person can fight for it and pull it into his own camp.

In fact, Zhu Ping'an did not have much hope for the matter of establishing the prince discussed today. As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Yujian already has his own choice, and even if the position of the prince is in his hands, it no longer makes much sense. What we need to do today is to make a name for ourselves, and only by first becoming a candidate who conforms to the law and cannot find a single flaw, will it be smooth sailing to walk on the throne of Jinluan, which is high in the Fengxian Palace.

At the moment when the ministers were in chaos, a eunuch quietly walked into the Fengtian Hall and glanced at Lu Jiude. Lu Jiude bowed to Zhu Yujian, and then retreated from the imperial steps, the eunuch came to Lu Jiude's ear and whispered a few words, Lu Jiude's face suddenly rose an inexplicable look, and he couldn't help but peek at Zhu Ping'an, who was standing not far away.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Yi'an has just entered Beijing, especially to celebrate His Majesty's accession to the throne!" Lu Jiude replied loudly.

This time, not only Zhu Yujian was stunned on the spot, but even the cultural relics in the palace were a little confused. After Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, he canonized Zhang Yan as Empress Yi'an, and invited Zhang Yan to Nanjing to recuperate in the future, but Zhang Yan politely declined, as the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yan came to Nanjing, and Zhu Yujian was indeed a little embarrassed. Therefore, Zhang Yan's wish was granted, and she was allowed to stay in Dengzhou, and all the materials were supplied by the imperial court.

But what she didn't expect was that Zhang Yan suddenly came to Nanjing at this time. This really surprised Zhu Yujian.

calmed down, Zhu Yujian said: "At this time, where is the Queen Mother, I will personally greet her!" ”

At this time, Lu Jiude had already beckoned a eunuch to introduce into the Fengtian Palace, this eunuch was a confidant who served Zhang Yan, came to the front and kowtowed, and then said: "The Queen Mother specially said that today is a good day for His Majesty to ascend the throne, here is to celebrate His Majesty, and the other is to worship Emperor Sheng'an, Emperor Sheng'an is the Queen Mother who grew up, but unfortunately passed away, the Queen Mother always feels uncomfortable every time she thinks about it, so she wants to go to the imperial tomb to worship in person, and she will not work hard to drive!" ”

Zhu Yujian nodded, "This is also human nature, when the court meeting is over, I and the queen will greet each other at the palace gate!" ”

The eunuch bowed his head again and thanked him, "There is still one more thing to show your majesty." On the same day, the Queen Mother was escorted to Shandong by Zhu Ping'an. When he left Beijing, he was accompanied by an edict handed over by Lord Chongzhen and Empress Zhou. These days, after repeated changes, the queen mother's body has been repeated, until recently I suddenly remembered this matter, so I took the opportunity to enter Beijing this time, and brought it with me, and specially handed it over to His Majesty! ”

Lu Jiude took a roll of yellow silk holy decrees from the eunuch's hand and trotted to Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian was a little hesitant for a while. Instinctively told him that this holy decree came too suddenly and strangely, and it might not be a good thing, but under the gaze of the civil and military courtiers, and the matter of Zhang Yan's entry into Beijing has now spread, he can't force this holy decree down, but if this thing is not good for him, how can he resolve it?

After thinking about it, he couldn't find any way to deal with it for a while, so Zhu Yujian had no choice but to beckon and order Lu Jiude to read the holy decree in the hall.

But after reading the holy decree, there was silence in the Fengtian Temple, it was obviously the weather in March, as if it had suddenly returned to the middle of winter, and the ministers and civil and military officials all seemed to be frozen with a layer of ice bumps, their hands and feet were stiff, not to mention, and even their expressions became extremely dull.

The text of the holy decree is just like the habit of Emperor Chongzhen in the past, it is not long, but it clearly expresses a meaning. After the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the eunuchs plotted to rebel, but fortunately, the righteous Shen Xiao's father and daughter gave up their lives to assist Chongzhen to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, but unfortunately died at the hands of thieves and died for the country. Shen Xiao left a daughter, who lived among the people, entered the Tang Mansion in Nanyang as a slave, served Zhu Yujian, and passed away after giving birth to Lin'er. The Shen family was loyal to the martyrs, and the imperial court tried to find his descendants without success, so he could not reward them. Now the whereabouts of Shen Xiao's daughter are known, but she is no longer alive. In order to commend the loyalty and martyrdom of the Shen family, Emperor Chongzhen issued a special decree and awarded Shen Xiao as the doctor and the ruler; The eldest daughter, Shen Qinghe, is the county lord of Shangyun; And Zhu Ping'an's mother, Shen Xiao's youngest daughter, Shen Qingxuan, was posthumously named the princess of Tang by Emperor Chongzhen. In other words, Shen Qingxuan is Zhu Yujian's wife, confirmed by the edict issued by the Son of Heaven, and protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the clan law.

A brief decree has turned today's court discussion upside down. Zhu Yujian only felt that his heart was pounding, and even his eyes had a tendency to blur his vision.

"How could he do this to me?" There was only one thought left in Zhu Yujian's mind. There is no doubt that the holy decree is the thing in the palace, the holy decree issued in the Daming Palace, the past dynasties are made of gold thread hand-embroidered dragon pattern with gold lacquer edge brocade silk, and according to the official grade of the holy decree with jade, black rhinoceros horn, gold, black horn and other materials of the scroll. However, in the last years of the Chongzhen Dynasty, in order to control the expenditure of the imperial court, Chongzhen deliberately changed the material of the holy decree to ordinary brocade silk and replaced it with a wooden scroll.

This trace is also written by the celebrant Wang Chengen, and there will be no mistake in the judgment, as well as the stamped seal, as well as the seal of the celebrant and the Ministry of Rites, which proves that this is indeed a holy decree issued by Chongzhen himself back then.

Zhu Yujian couldn't figure out why Chongzhen issued such a holy decree at that time.

Could this be the reward given to Zhu Ping'an for entering the king of Beijing alone? Now it seems that this is the only thing that makes sense.

Zhu Yujian glanced at his eldest son hatefully, and anxiously could only look at Zheng Zhilong and Huang Daozhou, who were in the forefront of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Huang Daozhou saw Zhu Yujian's gaze, but he was helpless. From beginning to end, no matter what the occasion, Huang Daozhou has always insisted on the legitimacy and uniqueness of his son-in-law as the prince. But now, Zhu Ping'an has become the impeccable eldest son, which makes him speak, once he speaks, the reputation and prestige accumulated over the past few decades will come to naught in an instant, and in exchange for only four words - "The evening is not guaranteed".

Although Zheng Zhilong didn't know much about the difficult system and wording of the Holy Decree, Zheng Hongkui beside him told him the details with a pale face, and his face gradually turned blue. At this time, he finally understood the reason why Zhu Ping'an suddenly started attacking him the day before yesterday, it turned out to be for this moment.

But now, any opposition has been pale because of this decree. R1152
