Chapter 454: Preparations Before Enthronement

Han Fei, the king of Ming, moved into the palace on the same day, he didn't want to move the ministers and wouldn't agree, although he has not officially ascended the throne, he is still the king of Ming, in essence, he is already the founding emperor of the new Ming Dynasty, how can he still live outside the palace? After Han Fei entered the palace, he moved directly into the emperor's bedroom.

Following Han Fei into the palace was the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi, who was the natural queen of the Ming Dynasty, and also moved directly into the queen's residence, Kunning Palace. As for the other women in the Han Mansion, because the official title has not yet been decided, it is inconvenient to enter the palace first, and there are strict regulations on what kind of status concubines in the harem live in what palace, and it is naturally difficult to allocate a place to live before the canonization. The reason why Zhang Wanyi entered the palace was because her status was indisputable, and secondly, she also needed someone to come in and clean up the harem so as to welcome the new master.

The new emperor's accession to the throne is not something that can be solved with a simple sentence, especially this enthronement is equivalent to a change of dynasty, involving more rules and rituals, Han Fei specially designated the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to form a preparatory group. Of course, although these affairs are complicated, but there are examples of the past dynasties can be used for reference, and the preparatory work can be said to be carried out in an orderly manner. The specific date of the ceremony is something that Qin Tianjian is worried about.

No matter how complicated the preparation process is, it is also the work of the courtiers, there is no need for Han Fei to worry about it, he just needs to know the result, and Du Yun is not only Han Fei's mentor, but also the future national abbot, with his supervision, Han Fei can rest assured.

What bothered Han Fei was how the status of the Jia family was determined, as well as the placement of Jia Yuanchun, the empress dowager of the West Palace, and Zhang Yuanlang, the little emperor. According to the example of the previous dynasty, once the dynasty was changed, most of the last emperors of the previous dynasty died inexplicably, and the reason is self-evident. Of course, Han Fei never thought of causing the little emperor Zhang Yuanlang to die, firstly, Zhang Yuanlang was his own nephew, and secondly, Zhang Yuanlang was unconscious and had no threat to him.

For example, everyone knows today that Han Fei is the son of Jia Zheng, Han Fei is the emperor, and the Jia family has naturally become a royal family. But Han Fei's surname is Han, and it is impossible for him to change his surname to Jia, that is to say, Daming's national surname is Han, and Han Fei did not grow up in Jia's family, so the status of the Jia family is embarrassing. In terms of the royal family, the principal of the Jia family should be crowned king, but Han Fei really doesn't look down on the character of the Jia family and doesn't want to give them the prince, if he doesn't give the prince, the Jia family will definitely be cold, and there may be any movement, and there will be criticism outside, after all, the family concept in this era is deep-rooted.

Han Fei had a headache when he thought of this, and asked those ministers about it, but they all avoided talking about it under the pretext of royal family affairs. Speaking of which, it is also the same reason, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and the two mansions of Han and Jia are one, both of them are royal families, who dares to talk about it?

The affairs of the Jia family are more complicated, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while, so Han Fei wanted to implement the matter of Jia Yuanchun's mother and son placement first, although he had some ideas, he still decided to ask Jia Yuanchun his opinion.

The change of dynasty was a foregone conclusion, and Jia Yuanchun suddenly became restless again. She is familiar with the historical records of the previous dynasties, and naturally knows that most of the last emperors did not end well, and she is very worried about whether her mother and son will suffer the same fate. Although she trusts Han Fei very much, once she sits on the throne, her thoughts may be different.

When Jia Yuanchun heard that Han Fei was coming, he hurriedly greeted him out of Cining Palace, returned to the palace with Han Fei, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Fei, how do you plan to settle the mother and son of the mourning family?" ”

"This is also the purpose of this king's coming, you are the king's own sister, Lang'er is the king's nephew, this king hopes you can live comfortably!" Han Fei could see Jia Yuanchun's sad face, so he helped her sit down, relieved, and said: "This king respects my sister's opinion, you can live wherever you want, this king will send reliable people to protect and serve you!" ”

Jia Yuanchun saw Han Fei's sincere face, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he said: "Thank you for Brother Fei's care, in this palace, the Mourning family doesn't want to live anymore, Brother Fei will arrange a place for the Mourning family and Lang'er outside the palace, it's okay to live in the royal nunnery, the Mourning family just wants to have a quiet place and take good care of Lang'er!" ”

"Since my sister doesn't want to live in the palace, it's okay to live in other places, this king doesn't worry about your safety, just live in the Grand View Garden, this king ordered the Grand View Garden to be changed to the Royal Palace, and after cleaning up, my sister will move over, and it will be convenient to take care of it!" Han Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: "My sister's title of Queen Mother is not appropriate, this king plans to respect his sister as the virtuous queen, and Lang'er as the virtuous king, what do you think?" ”

After the change of dynasty, the title of the former and later concubines must be abolished, Jia Yuanchun understood that Han Fei canonized himself as the eldest queen, which was a great respect, so he smiled and said: "Brother Fei is so kind to the mother and son of this palace, what else is there to dislike?" ”

After a pause, Jia Yuanchun said again: "Brother Fei, what do you arrange for the Jia family?" ”

"Sister, to be honest, this is also the place where this king has a headache, Han and Jia are one, the Jia family is undoubted as a royal family, but the ability of the children of the Jia family is indeed limited, if they are promoted too high, they may not succeed enough to fail, and then there will be accidents. The lessons of King Fan's rebellion are vivid, and this king will not engage in the feudal system, even if some lords are canonized, they will stay in Beijing. ”

"I don't understand these big things, so I hope you don't be too harsh, so as not to be criticized by outsiders, after all, you are also a member of the Jia family!"

"Sister, this king understands that the title of my father's emperor will not change, so let's add a few more county kings!"

"It's okay, when the palace is properly arranged, place the concubines of the first emperor in the West Garden, and give them companions to the palace!"

When Han Fei returned to the imperial study, the first thing he did was to order the palace guards to take over the Daguan Garden, change the name to Daguan Palace, and send the personnel of the Ministry of Engineering to step up the repair, as the residence of Jia Yuanchun's mother and son and the concubine of the first emperor, and then ordered someone to summon Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen to enter the palace to discuss matters.

Han Fei promised to be the emperor, and the Jia family was officially promoted to the royal family, and the Jia family was also looking forward to Han Fei's reward.

The three of them rushed to the imperial study, except for Jia Zheng, Jia pardoned Jia Zhen and worshiped as a monarch and minister.

"Hurry up! It's all a family, no need to be polite! Han Fei beckoned a few people to get up, and instructed the eunuch to add seats to the three of them, and then retreated left and right.

"Let you come over today, that is, to say a few things, the Grand View Garden was changed to the Grand View Palace, the Queen Mother of the West Palace was renamed the Empress Xiande, and the late emperor of the previous dynasty was renamed the Xian King after going to the emperor's name, and several concubines of the first emperor moved to the Daguan Palace together, and the eldest uncle and eldest brother lived next to it, so take care of it!" Han Fei told Jia Yuanchun what he had agreed upon.

"Wechen obeys!" Jia pardon Jia Zhen hurriedly agreed.

"Hmm!" Han Fei glanced at the three of them and said, "Next, let's discuss the arrangement of the Jia family!" ”
