Chapter 308: Long live my emperor
This morning, Mu Yunduo was neatly carrying out the planned matters in the Chaoqian Palace, pile by pile, calmly.
Naturally, clarifying the throne is the most important thing, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty once again jointly confirmed that the edict left by Emperor Wanli of the ancestor is true, although there are still ministers who are silent about Mu Yunduo in power, but now the two sisters and brothers hold great power, and no one dares to easily come out to provoke and question, so most people have reached a consensus, because the whereabouts of the first prince Mu Ting are unknown, and the son Mu Yunduo will inherit the unification.
Mu Yunduo did not refuse to ascend the throne, but made it clear that his father Mu Ting is only unknown now, and if Mu Ting returns in the future, the emperor's position will still belong to his father.
On the other hand, now that there is turmoil in the West Dome, and he is afraid that foreign clans will take advantage of the fire to rob, so Mu Yunduo decided to temporarily take the throne for the time being, and the emperor's use is simple, and after everything is stable and stable, he will choose an auspicious day to hold a succession ceremony, go up to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and go down to the dawn of the people.
Although Mu Yunduo is now a legitimate emperor, in the past few years, the imperial court was first in the hands of Mu Ling, and then controlled by the Empress Dowager Xi, so it is very difficult for Mu Yunduo to carry out many things, especially the foundation of imperial power - military power.
went out to prohibit the army, the military power of the West Dome was distributed in the hands of different generals, and the fiefdoms of each clan also had their own military power, so if these people forcibly refused to submit to the new emperor, Mu Yunduo's throne would be useless, and there was no way to force it out.
Looking at the court today, at the beginning, only a few people under Mu Ting's sect remained in the center as generals, and the rest of the people were released from the outside, removed from their posts, and cut their powers, and it was difficult to support Mu Yunduo day and night.
Qin Sheng and several of Mu Ting's old subordinates took the lead in expressing their position, but everyone knew that although these people were also not in low official positions and had troops in hand, they were not absolute forces in the end.
Ta Qiuli's subsequent performance became particularly subtle: as the prince of the Taqiu Domain, he represented the choice of the entire Domain, and his sentence "The new emperor set things right, which is the blessing of all the people in the West Firmament" clarified the position of the Taqiu Domain-there is no doubt that Taqiu is already the backing of Mu Yunyi's sisters and brothers.
I thought that Ta Qiuli's speech had come to an end, but I didn't expect him to bow down again and say: "In order to congratulate the return of the son of Tianxuan, the minister has repaired the book and returned to Taqiu overnight, so that his father can also go west to Hyunyin as soon as possible, so as to catch up with the joy of congratulating the new emperor on the succession." ”
The most important thing in these words is not to move out of the old prince of Taqiu, but to follow the army of the tribe with the king of Taqiu, there is no doubt that there is an extra talisman behind the new emperor.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the support of this Taqiu Department can be seen as early as the night before when Taqiu Shizi defended Princess Anhe. The appearance of Princess Anhe can be described as imposing, how can she be unprepared?
As the head of the four feudal clans in the West Dome, the remaining three feudal clans have made a clear statement when they see Taqiu, so they naturally follow the "big brother", after all, the combined strength of the other three feudal clans is not as good as the Taqiu clan, and now the two factions of the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Xi have fallen, as a feudal department, they really have no better choice except to know the current affairs and support the new emperor.
As the four feudatories jointly clarified their positions, there was already a great difference in the scene, but the person who stood up next was the one who really shocked the officials, especially the military ministers, and this person was General Huaihua, Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye disappeared in the field of vision of the court for a long time before, his former subordinates took over his troops and duties, and it was rumored among the courtiers that he was assigned to the frontier and even had been secretly executed, and now he is back again, holding the talisman, but at this juncture, whether all this is connected, others dare not think or ask, the only thing that is certain is that Xiao Ye is still enough to shake the corner of the West Dome.
What's even more unexpected is that as soon as Xiao Ye opened his mouth, he directly admitted the new emperor, and even took the initiative to hand over the talisman. You must know that the talisman is a symbol and symbol of mastering military power and mobilizing the troops, and although taking the initiative to return the talisman can show loyalty to the greatest extent, it is also equivalent to handing over the deadliest bargaining chips.
Is this General Xiao crazy? Everyone present looked at Xiao Ye incredulously, in the past, he was not from the camp of the first prince Mu Ting, seeing that at the moment, the new emperor's throne was not completely stable, and he was unable to force him to hand it over, so it was really intriguing for him to take the initiative to present the talisman at this moment......
The people in the court, whether they are ministers or military generals, all look at each other, could it be that this General Xiao has already been connected with the pair of sisters and brothers in Prince Shun's mansion? And the days when he disappeared not long ago didn't seem as simple as the rumors.
After Gonggong Tan took the talisman from Xiao Ye's hand, he returned to Mu Yunduo's side with it, and at this moment, everyone in the palace was waiting to see how the new emperor would react.
Mu Yunduo did not hesitate to hold the talisman in his hand, just when everyone thought that the new little emperor was eager to tighten the talisman, he unexpectedly opened his mouth: "General Xiao's deep understanding of righteousness really moved me, but Xiqiong is in a time of internal and external turmoil, the general is a good general of the Zhu Kingdom, and I really need the help of the general when I first ascend the throne, so I still hand over the military talisman to the general." With that, Mu Yunduo got up and walked down the stairs, came straight to Xiao Ye's side, stretched out his hand and handed the talisman to Xiao Ye and instructed: "In the future, General Xiao Ye will still have to work hard to protect the territory of the Li people in the West Dome." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Ye hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised his hands straight, took the talisman steadily, and said loudly: "The emperor trusts and values him, and the ministers will bow and die with all their might!" "Say that, bow your head three times and bow to Xie Longen.
The people in the hall, seeing the new emperor and Xiao Ye's "you come and go", the courtiers have their own thoughts in their hearts, their hearts are full of excitement and their hearts are full of excitement, and the stubborn and neutral faction immediately reduced their worries about this young little emperor, and the people who originally had ghosts in their hearts began to feel uneasy and re-planned.
Then, Mu Yunduo removed a series of officials, and the commonality of these people was naturally the faction to which they belonged, as is the case with the so-called son of heaven and courtier.
However, for the sake of the stability of the imperial court structure, only some of the key positions are affected, but the other part of Mu Yunduo has not yet taken into account the removed officials, and there are even more direct resignations, after all, at this time, compared to the survival of the official position, survival is the most important.
The last reason of the early dynasty was to agree on the case of the Xi clan's rebellion.
Mu Yunduo returned to the dragon throne on the steps, turned around and said decisively to the courtiers: "This case is related to the Empress Dowager and her family, and it also involves the death of the first emperor. ”
The courtiers in the palace knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, and sang loudly: "My emperor's decision-making, diligence and benevolence are the blessings of all our people, and they are the blessings of the world!" ”
