Wei Zhonghe and Lu Bing knelt there,

This is actually the first conflict between the new monarch and the old pattern;

For the two of them, what they need to do is to uphold their loyalty to the emperor and their feelings for Dayan, so that the alternation of dragon chairs can be completed in a smooth way.

If it is other requirements, other wills, they will inevitably fulfill them to the letter, but this will makes them have to hesitate, because this move will make the originally smooth throne alternate with twists and turns and uncertainty.

However, even if Lu Bing usually calls himself a minister, he is actually the same as Wei Zhonghe, and belongs to the slave of the Son of Heaven.

This kind of identity attribute makes it impossible for them to be too resolute like foreign ministers, not because they are weak, but when facing imperial power, they will not have that kind of desperate and unflattering conduct.

their bottom line,

In fact, it was appointed by the Son of Heaven;

And when the new monarch shows a kind of persistence,

There is only one choice left for them.

"Minister, obey the order."

"Minion, obey."

Ji Chengjue nodded with satisfaction and stood up,

Road:

"Keep changing."

……

Zheng Fan walked around the imperial garden for a while, and saw the Son of Heaven Luan coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ji Chengjue sitting on it, and the black dragon robe on his body, which actually gave him a trance-like feeling.

It was as if time had gone back to five years ago, when I met the emperor for the first time.

Father Xiao not only refers to his temper, personality, and means, but also the most direct and straightforward meaning is that the father and son look very similar.

In fact, Marquis Zheng himself knows in his heart that being a "buddy" with a creature like the emperor is no different from walking a tightrope, but he likes the feeling of feeding lions, which is very exciting;

At the same time, he also knew that Ji Chengjue probably liked this kind of stimulation as well.

Taking history as a mirror, everyone knows it, but they are confident that they will be the special one, which is a kind of self-feeling good, and the former can improve their quality of life, after all, the two of them have long been eating and drinking.

Luan stopped driving, Ji Chengjue looked at Zheng Fan and cleared his throat.

Zheng Fan didn't care.

Ji Chengjue sighed, waved his hand to signal Luan to come down, and he walked down by himself.

"Walking, the boss is waiting in front."

"Hmm."

Under the main hall, the eldest prince stood there, and when he saw Ji Chengjue in a dragon robe coming over, a smile appeared on his face at first, and then he knelt down:

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Although they are brothers, from today onwards, they will be kings and ministers.

When the eldest prince greeted him, Zheng Fan leaned to the side.

Ji Chengjue stepped forward and personally helped the eldest prince:

"Big brother, in the future, you and my brother should continue to support each other and create a better situation for Dayan."

"Your Majesty rest assured, for the sake of Dayan, for Your Majesty, the ministers will never give up!"

Ji Chengjue patted his eldest brother's hand.

A set of processes, completed between the two brothers.

Then

Ji Chengjue walked in front, and Zheng Fan and the eldest prince followed on both sides behind him.

Wei Zhonghe let out a long roar:

"Quiet!"

The Golden Palace, which was originally a little noisy, instantly fell silent.

forthwith

Ji Chengjue led the two Hou Ye into it together.

The hundreds of officials and nobles standing on both sides, some people were surprised in their eyes, some people were shocked in their eyes, some people were in disbelief in their eyes, and some people breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation was finally stabilized.

However, what they think in their hearts at this time is actually not important.

Yanjing City has been firmly in the hands of the Six Masters Party.

This is true both in the military and in politics;

Even, even the prince stood there in an orderly manner, without saying a word, the prince had already admitted defeat, and no matter how dissatisfied the princelings were, they could no longer roll any waves.

again

In this court, the Six Masters Party has overshadowed the princelings.

The dragon chair in the Golden Palace is bigger and more powerful, Ji Chengjue, under the guidance of Wei Zhonghe, climbed the steps, turned around in front of the dragon chair, swept his eyes down, and then sat down.

The ministers, no response.

It's not that you will start to show your face to the new monarch now, in fact, at this time, the courtiers no longer have the right to put on a face.

From the perspective of an ordinary courtier, first, they have long been accustomed to the dispute between the crown prince and the sixth master, and it is not surprising who loses and who wins;

The second is that the two kings of the north and south are still in the capital, and the two Dinghai gods are there, who can mess up?

At the same time, before the bell rang yesterday, the cabinet had already issued a decree, but did not directly say that the emperor was going to die and the new monarch would succeed to the throne, but reminded the courtiers that there would be a court meeting tomorrow;

This kind of reminder is that there are no three hundred taels of silver here;

After the bell rings today, it is inevitable that people will think that this is actually a step that has been arranged a long time ago;

Now that everything has been arranged, what else can go wrong? Who would dare to create any mess?

The water in this pond in Yanjing has always been very clear and clear.

Zhao Jiulang came out of the queue and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Emperor's decree is now proclaimed."

All the ministers and nobles stood up straight;

The prince walked out with the holy decree in his hand, spread it out,

Chanting:

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said, the crown prince Cheng Lang, the only eldest son of the earth, is in the Ming two, and the evil is to follow, alienate the righteous people, choose the name of the virtue to be the teacher, choose the end of the scholar to serve as the palace bureaucracy, still hope that the nature of the people, can go up and down, the quality of the wood, can be tolerant, since the long-term infant Shen Min, the heart is worried about the dethronement, accept the heresy and disobey the order, with heresy and suspicion of the brothers, both hurt and defeated in the ceremony, but also shocked by the audio-visual. How can you keep the instrument and compile the system, inherit the weight of the ancestral temple, set Lang to abolish as a concubine, and now take the crown prince's throne, and admire this. ”

After the prince himself read the edict of deposing himself,

Followed by

first handed over the holy decree to Zhao Jiulang, and then, he took off his hat and clothes;

At last

Dressed in white, he knelt down on the golden temple.

The princeling ministers, who were "celebrating with the crown" a few days ago, were stunned all of a sudden.

This, this, this is a loss?

The ministers of the Sixth Master Party, who were still "depressed" a few days ago, were also stunned all of a sudden.

This, this, this wins?

The drama of winning the heir, which lasted vigorously for two years, ended so simply that even Dayan's hundred officials were a little caught off guard.

But, the facts, are here.

The prince was not coerced, the prince was here, Zaifu was also here, Gonggong Wei was also here, the people who should be there were all here, the Jingnan army in the palace, and the hundred officials also saw it when they entered the palace, but it came in later.

Everyone present knew that this was not a bloody coup d'état, nor was it a bridge in which the court was forced to accept its fate by relying on soldiers.

On the contrary, what is said in the holy decree, everyone actually doesn't care, they are all ups and downs of officialdom, so naturally they know that the edict is also the words on the surface, say it, listen to it, and it's just that.

The reason for abolishing the prince is nothing more than that he is not good at studying, does not love his brothers, and is close to the villain and is far from a sage;

I won't say that the prince wants to rebel, or that the prince is being by his brother's party and can't do it anymore, or that I just see that the prince is not pleasing to the eye and wants to abolish him.

forthwith

Zhao Jiulang took out another holy decree.

What is the content of this holy decree, the big guy knows it, didn't he see that the main lord had changed into a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair?

"Emperor Daxing's edict!"

The edict of the prince was abolished before, and everyone did not kneel.

This time

All the ministers fell to their knees.

Standing on the platform on the first floor below the dragon chair, Marquis Zheng, who was separated from the eldest prince Ji Wujiang, saw this scene, and had to sigh that the official was able to enter the Golden Palace, and the reaction power of the wind direction was really amazing.

Zhao Jiulang opened the edict,

Chanting:

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, since ancient times, the emperor succeeded the heavens and raised the royal area, and he would establish the Yuan Chu and Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society would have no borders. I have been working hard all night. Look up to the ancestors of Mo Lie. Entrusted. Cheng Ao Yanqing, end in Yuanliang.

The sixth son of the emperor, Ji Chengjue, and the Japanese watch Yingqi. Gifted and beautiful, I would like to tell heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji, and grant the emperor's sixth son, Ji Chengjue, a treasure. He was made the crown prince. It is located in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas. Chin this. ”

This is not the reading of the edict of who will be the new king, this is the edict of the crown prince.

Abolish the original prince first,

A new crown prince will be set up.

This seems to be a bit of a fart off his pants, but in fact, it is full of Emperor Yan's maintenance of his successor.

How could any emperor suddenly abolish the crown prince before his death and refer to another prince to succeed him?

Either the palace is forced or the old emperor is crazy;

If it is written like this in the history books, things that have no shadow can also be suspected of being ghostly.

Since it should be, the original prince was abolished first, and then a new prince was established, and then, the emperor died, and then, the new prince succeeded to the throne, which is justified and the procedure is bright.

In the history books, it can also be done innocently.

After Zhao Jiulang finished reading the holy decree,

Then he lifted up the decree,

Yell:

"Emperor Daxing has died, according to my Dayan ancestral system, the new monarch can be ruled before the country can be mourned, as the so-called, the country can not be without a monarch for a day.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that the country is here, the artifacts can be alternated, the sun and the moon rotate in an orderly manner, and the society will be smooth for thousands of years.

Dear Ministers,

With the nature of the phase,

Worship the new monarch together. ”

Saying,

Zhao Jiulang knelt down in front of Ji Chengjue on the dragon chair.

The hundred officials below chanted in unison:

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Even the Marquis Zheng and the eldest prince standing on the platform below the dragon chair also knelt down and shouted long live at this time.

Marquis Zheng also raised his head slightly,

But I was surprised to find that

Obviously, the new emperor of Dayan who is being worshiped by hundreds of officials at this time,

deliberately lowered his gaze,

Watching him.

It seems that seeing himself kneeling down makes him more comfortable than the worship of the ministers.

Anyway,

Today,

Let him be.

After today, regardless of whether the new prince gives him the grace of not kneeling in front of the next emperor, he will not kneel again in the future.

When I was young, I knelt down, it was nothing, but now that I am old, my waist is not good, but I can't kneel.

The ministers' visit to the shrine is over,

Ji Chengjue raised his hand,

Road:

"Zhong Aiqing, flat."

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Everyone get up.

Ji Chengjue pointed to Gonggong Wei standing beside him,

Father-in-law Wei stepped forward,

"Your Majesty has a will, the Shuren Ji Chenglang, my siblings and relatives, the work of the state, and the kindness of the people, so the canonization of the Shuren Ji Chenglang is sympathetic to Amber, and the food is sealed for 800 households, and he is the great Zongzheng, and he is here."

Ji Chenglang, who was kneeling below and dressed in white, kowtowed:

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!"

The civil officials and military generals were fine, but the nobles in the hall sighed in unison.

The crown prince was deposed, and then he was given the title of Enrong, which is a matter of course, and everyone is not surprised by this, political struggles must be left with dignity in the end.

But you must know that back then, the emperor's brothers were basically princes before the old emperor died, and after the emperor ascended the throne, his brother resigned from the prince, but he was only reduced to a duke on the prince.

The last emperor, that is, the Daxing Emperor, directly became a marquis.

get

The new monarch is even more desperate, and he directly becomes an earl.

This seems to be a suppression of his brother, but in fact, it is a weather vane for the entire clan, and then think of the coldness of the father and son, the clan knows that the next days of the big guys are really going to suffer.

At this time, Zhao Jiulang took out another will, which was the edict of Emperor Daxing.

In fact, the Dayan tradition, after the death of each emperor, there will be a guilty edict, but this edict is basically not the original emperor's own meaning, but through the way of "political death and extinguishment", so that the successor has a chance to correct the mistake, because if nothing else, the successor is the son of the first emperor, and the son overthrows his father's policy in the way of a son.

This is also an opportunity for the country to change its self-righteousness.

But this time, the edict was written by Emperor Bai Yan himself before his death.

Sincere or insincere?

Probably insincere, after all, what a proud person Yan Huang is, how could he sincerely admit his mistake and bow his head?

But in order for his successor to have better prestige and better performance, he is willing to let himself inherit all the infamy.

"Emperor Daxing's edict."

Jaesuke opened the edict.

The ministers knelt down again.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict against himself, and as a courtier, he had no face to continue to stand.

The Son of Heaven will not make mistakes, even if the Son of Heaven is wrong, it is your courtiers who have failed to persuade them well, everyone is guilty, and no one can be clean.

however

At this moment,

The new gentleman sitting on the dragon chair spoke:

"Prime Minister."

Zhao Jiulang stopped reading, turned to look at Xinjun on the dragon chair, leaned over and said:

"Your Majesty."

"If you sin your own edict, you don't have to recite it."

"Your Majesty, this is one of the edicts of Emperor Daxing, and the ministers have to read them out."

In terms of reasonableness, the emperor of Daxing is greater than the new monarch.

"I said it, don't read it."

"Wei Zhonghe."

"The minions are here."

"Bring my father's edict to the emperor."

"Minions...... Compliance. ”

Wei Zhonghe walked down the steps and came to Zaifu.

Zhao Jiulang didn't hesitate and handed over the edict.

Wei Zhonghe took the edict, walked up the steps again, and sent it to Ji Chengjue.

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand and grabbed the edict,

Get up from the dragon chair,

looked at the courtiers who were still kneeling below,

Opening:

"In the life of Emperor Daxing, he first stepped on the door valve with a horse and opened the road to the cold door;

then pacify the land of the Three Jin Dynasty and open up the territory for my Dayan;

The attacking troops arrived at the upper capital and burned the capital in one fell swoop;

The snowfields surrendered, and the barbarians bowed their heads,

Make me a great swallow, and the Quartet surrenders!

A life of conscientious work, worthy of the name of the saint;

If the Emperor Daxing is guilty,

That's too much to do, too much to do.

This edict was issued by Emperor Daxing for my sake;

but

As the Son of Man, why should his father seek refuge in his name?

As a human king, why bend your knees to seek the virtue of the new dynasty benevolent monarch?

The Son of Heaven of Dayan,

Emperor of Great Swallow,

We should have the courage to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and we should also bear the importance of the society.

Although the sage has a saying, the merits of the thousand autumns are left with the thousand autumns to say;

But today,

And here he shall speak clearly to the servants,

The merits of the emperor can show the sun and the moon;

The virtue of the emperor can suppress the stars;

If you don't have the courage to recognize the merits of your predecessors,

How can you have the courage to inherit the aspirations of your predecessors?

This edict of sin has been written,

I've taken it,

I will place it in my dormitory, and I will think about it day and night;

Emperor Daxing left only one lesson for the descendants of the Ji family and the subjects of Yandi:

All the people of my Yan land, don't forget the unification of Zhuxia!

hereon

I and all my ministers, encouragement! ”

The next moment,

Hundreds of officials knelt down, and even Zhao Jiulang smiled bitterly, and then knelt down:

"The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty and dominate the summers!"

"The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty and dominate the summers!"

……

Scattered;

But that's just the beginning.

The next state funeral, the new monarch's official accession to the throne, must be a huge project;

And the personnel changes that will inevitably come will also be a major event.

When the new monarch seizes the throne, he will inevitably be rewarded and promoted, not to mention deliberately suppressing the former princelings, but he will definitely use this momentum to do some official position disposal, so as to shape the new order of the court that the new monarch wants to see.

The blind man once said that after the death of Emperor Yan, the new monarch, no matter who it was, would actually cause a decline in influence on the external feudal towns.

It's inevitable;

But the imperial power in this capital, can still take advantage of the former emperor's residual power, occupy an absolute advantage, after all, when the new monarch is the prince, he is not a good role, and the government affairs ability is extremely strong.

The courtiers, each with their own concerns, walked out of the main hall like a tide and walked towards the palace gate.

When Marquis Zheng walked out, he saw Zai Fu Zhao Jiulang standing there.

When Marquis Zheng walked over, Zhao Jiulang bowed slightly to Zheng Fan.

Marquis Zheng smiled and said;

"Lord Zaisuke."

"Marquis Zheng."

Zhao Jiulang smiled and said: "The first emperor is gone, but Benfu is still full of confidence in the future of Dayan, Your Majesty is a dragon among people, and with the assistance of such a handsome and heroic man as Marquis Zheng, I am as safe as a rock in the world!" ”

"Lord Zaifu has praised it falsely, and the matter of loyalty to the monarch is just a matter of worrying about the king."

"Okay, Ben Fu is going to the imperial study to discuss some more regulations with His Majesty, in a few days, Ben Fu wants to invite the Hou Ye to enter the mansion, and Ben Fu wants to know more about the situation in Chu State."

"You command, junior, be on call."

Zhao Jiulang turned around and walked to the other side of the main hall.

Marquis Zheng looked at Zhao Jiulang's departing figure,

The smile at the corner of his mouth still remains;

"How many days, how many days?

Tomorrow's sun,

Can you see it? ”

Marquis Zheng is under the main hall,

Stretch out your arms,

stretched out with a big grin,

Since no one dared to participate in his intrauterine disgrace;

Sensing a crunch sound coming from his own joints,

In my mind,

but Lao Tian's white hair appeared;

The country is eternal, the society is stable,

As far as I'm concerned, it's a fart!

You care,

I don't care.

Marquis Zheng's gaze immediately sank,

Looking back at the hall on the steps behind him,

"Alright, you're done."

Rubbing his wrist,

Sideways his neck again,

Road:

"It's my turn."
