Chapter 206: Enthronement
On the second day, the new emperor ascended the throne, and hundreds of officials congratulated him.
Liu Mingli dressed up, put on a brand-new yellow robe, wore a crown, sat in the south, and officially reigned in the world. The civil and military officials knelt on the court together, knelt three times and knocked nine times, and the mountain shouted long live. The new emperor's enthronement ceremony officially began.
The first thing is to discuss the temple number for Emperor Tianze. After a period of discussion, everyone finally agreed that the temple of Tianze Emperor was called "Xianzong" in recognition of his reign and Xianning from all over the world.
The second thing is to agree on the name of the new emperor. After a series of deliberations and demonstrations, "Yongchun" was finalized as the name of the new emperor. In other words, the twenty-first year of Tianze is the first year of Yongchun. Liu Mingli is Emperor Yongchun.
The third thing is that all officials have rewards.
During the previous reign of Emperor Tianze, some positions were rather lacking than excessive, and some places were just to prepare for Liu Mingli's accession to the throne, and they were all temporary powers with deputy positions. At this time, those deputy positions that already had real power were all ordered by the new emperor to be regularized. There are also some people who have a close relationship with the crown prince, and they have also been rewarded, and they have been added to the knighthood, which is not festive. Only Zhou Xiaocao still does not have any official position. But according to his character, he was really given an official job, and he couldn't do it.
The fourth thing is amnesty. Those who commit capital crimes become imprisoned, and those who go to prison become released. This is almost the inevitable procedure of every new emperor ascending the throne. So, in this sense, no one wanted the emperor to die more than these prisoners. It is better to die an emperor every year and amnesty the world every year, how good!
The fifth thing is to bury the coffin of Emperor Tianze. The Kantianjian has already helped Emperor Tianze to complete the tomb site, and Lord Du, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, has already written the inscription and sacrifices, and everything is ready. Just waiting for a burial.
As for whether the new policy will be implemented and whether there will be any changes in the new emperor's strategy for governing the country, which everyone is very concerned about. It wasn't mentioned.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, a holy decree went to Prince Gong's mansion. Liu Minghui, who inherited his father's throne, was named "Loyal King" by the new emperor and was rewarded with gold, silver, jewelry and a bronze mirror. These rewards made Liu Minghui furious, and even the eunuch who came to read the holy decree was beaten, so frightened that the eunuch ran all the way and scolded in a low voice: "What a thing!" We're here to read the good news to you, don't you say give us a red envelope, and beat me? I must go to the emperor's side to sue you and ask for all your rewards back."
Looking at the gold, silver and jewelry placed in the yard, Liu Minghui swept to the ground. The housekeeper on the side hurriedly ran over to pick it up in distress, and instructed the maids to clean it up. When he finally picked up the bronze mirror, Liu Minghui snatched it and threw it to the ground. Because the bronze mirror is relatively strong, it smashed a hole in the ground, and there is nothing wrong with the copper mirror itself.
Liu Minghui turned around and found a shovel, which was the style of a gardener repairing a flower garden, which he borrowed from him. Shine on the smooth and shiny mirror and smash it down. While smashing, he also scolded: "I asked you to send me a mirror, take a photo, take a look at your mother!" ”
Master Ma came over at this time. Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but be surprised: "Lord, Lord, what are you doing!" ”
Liu Minghui scolded: "It's too much to deceive people! Liu Mingli, that guy actually named me the king of loyalty. Isn't that scolding me? And this mirror, he's not suing me. Look in the mirror and see how you look! ”
Master Ma was speechless. The heart says it's not like you want to rebel? If you are a person who just wants to be the prince of peace and be named a loyal king, you may be so happy.
So he persuaded: "Forget it, this mirror is also an antiquity, what a pity it was destroyed." Butler, take out this mirror, and ask a skilled craftsman to polish it. ”
Liu Minghui and Master Ma entered the study, still breathless. Master Ma leaned up and said, "Lord Wang, something has been discovered under the door. That Zhou Xiaocao went to the manjing girl on the outskirts of the city today. ”
Liu Minghui bowed and asked, "Zhou Xiaocao?" Who is the Lady Man? ”
Master Ma said: "That week, Xiaocao repeatedly ruined the good things of the prince, we can't help but guard against it!" What's more, he is still the emperor's confidant, and his whereabouts have always been secretly watched by his subordinates. ”
Liu Minghui clenched his fists and said hatefully: "Zhou Xiaocao, this villain, this king will kill him alive sooner or later!" ”
Master Ma said, "That's sooner or later! It's a pity that the current Zhou Xiaocao doesn't know why he has the martial arts that is unique in the world, and we assassinated him three times and twice, and told him to hide. ”
Liu Minghui said: "He has good luck with shit, but this king is not a vegetarian!" Sooner or later, let him see the means of this king! Tell me, what's wrong with that cranberry girl? ”
Master Ma said: "Miss Manjing is a well-known Qing person in the capital, why did Zhou Xiaocao go to see her?" Last time, under the leadership of Old Man Du's son-in-law, he had already been there once. ”
Liu Minghui shook his head and said, "Perhaps, he just went there to have fun, there is no need to worry too much." What can a prostitute do? ”
"That being said, let's be careful. The subordinates will continue to pay attention to Zhou Xiaocao, and the prince doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Outside the gate of Zhou Xiaocao's Mansion, a rustic carriage stopped on the side of the road, and a middle-aged man with a somewhat dignified face came down from it, holding a prayer post, and said to the doorman: "Please report it, and say that Xie Bingzhou from Cangzhou is visiting." ”
In this car, it was the family of Xie Bingzhou, the prefect of Cangzhou. They inquired all the way, and after learning about Zhou Xiaocao's current situation, they decided to visit Zhou Xiaocao first, and then get on the line with him and the crown prince, that is, the current emperor. This is a basic line of thought. Therefore, although Zhou Xiaocao is not an official, but according to the proximity between him and the emperor, Xie Bingzhou, who was already about to be frustrated in the officialdom, did not dare to hold it up in front of him, so he personally held a worship sticker and wanted to come to see Zhou Xiaocao.
Menzi went in to report, and Xie Bingzhou glanced at the car intentionally or unintentionally. In the carriage, there is also one of his biggest trump cards, which is his daughter Xie Qiuyan. Judging from the previous events, Zhou Xiaocao was not unemotional about her daughter. Coupled with what she did in Cangzhou, everyone knows the love of Qiu Yan girl for Zhou Xiaocao, if you don't look for him, can you still marry someone else? Seeing that the autumn goose girl is getting older and older, she is already seventeen years old this year, and if she doesn't get married, she will die of old age at home.
Menzi invited his immediate boss Zhao Zhigao, but Zhao Zhigao didn't know anything about Xie Bingzhou, so he had to report to the housewife Feng Yulan again. Of course, Feng Yulan knew who Xie Bingzhou was, and when their family was doing business in Cangzhou, they didn't deal with him a lot.
Feng Yulan hurriedly changed into a more formal outfit, and took the housekeeper Lao Liu to greet the door in person: "It turns out that Master Xie is here, please come in!" ”
Xie Bingzhou was very satisfied with Feng Yulan's attitude, turned around and signaled, and the maid who followed the car immediately lifted the curtain and put the brocade pier so that Xie Qiuyan and her mother could get out of the car. When she saw Xie Qiuyan, a trace of resentment flashed in Feng Yulan's eyes, as if she had discovered Xie Bingzhou's original intention. But she concealed it well, and immediately turned into a smiling face, and said, "It turns out that Mrs. Xie and Sister Qiu Yan are also here, please come in quickly!" ”
Welcoming the three of them into the living room and sitting down, Xie Bingzhou saw that the main seat was empty, so he asked, "Isn't Gongzi Zhou at home?" ”
Feng Yulan smiled and said, "Yes, Xianggong went to Miss Manjing, saying that he would not come back until evening." ”
Cranberry girl? Listening to this name, she doesn't look like a serious girl. But even if she is a serious girl, what is Zhou Xiaocao looking for someone to do? Don't be back until the evening? Also, isn't this Feng Yulan always known for her jealousy in Cangzhou? The incident that made a big fuss about the Qinglou back then was widely sung. Now that I'm okay, I know that my husband has gone to find a prostitute, but he seems to be fine? What's going on? Is Feng Yulan's temperament a big change, or is his Zhou Xiaocao's royal wife a way?
Mrs. Xie and Qiu Yan's mother and daughter couldn't help but look at each other and shake their heads, not knowing what was going on. And Xie Bingzhou gasped.
Feng Yulan asked, "What's wrong with Lord Xie?" ”
Xie Bingzhou hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little toothache." (To be continued......)
