Great Ming Calendar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

1644.

Chongzhen seventeenth spring.

The 25th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

The Day of the Great Tribulation.

The reason why it is said to be the day of the catastrophe is because this day is the time when the historical Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain.

It was also the time when the Ming Dynasty ended.

Therefore, this day is the day of the great tribulation.

While the Elamity represents destruction, it also heralds rebirth, the beginning of a new dynasty.

.......

Taihe Temple.

More than a decade has passed.

This palace is as grand, solemn, solemn, and majestic as ever, representing the central power of the entire imperial court, towering on the central axis of the palace.

Today, it will witness the end of a dynasty.

When the sun has not yet risen, and the sundial, a unique timer unique to the ancient Central Plains, has not yet pointed to Mao, the entire imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty has already awakened.

The gates of the imperial city into the imperial palace were wide open to welcome the civil and military officials who came to the court.

The civil and military officials passed through the Chengtian Gate into the square in front of the Taihe Palace, and then under the guidance of the Jinyi Wei Yingwei, who was in charge of the palace's honor guard, they walked into the Taihe Hall through the imperial steps built with white marble.

At this time, all the doors of the Taihe Hall were opened to show the grandeur of the court.

It was not until the end of the hour that all the civil and military officials entered the hall to wait for the queen mother, and the emperor came to convene this court meeting.

The hour has passed.

The hour has just arrived.

I only listened to the Taihe Palace, Wei Zhongxian, dressed in a grand official robe, stood on the Danbi in the Taihe Palace, swept the dust, and shouted: "Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet him." ”

In the hall, the brocade-clothed guard Yingwei shouted: "Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet him." ”

"Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet him."

......

greeted the Queen Mother Zhang Yan, and the emperor Zhu Cihong finished singing and drinking.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of whipping sounded outside the Taihe Palace.

"Smack."

"Smack."

......

The ceremonies of a series of great pilgrimage meetings ended.

Li Mu was dressed in a brocade guard flying fish suit, accompanied by the imperial treasure knife at his waist, and led a team of brocade guards to protect Zhang Yan and Zhu Cihong to the Danbi in the Taihe Palace.

Seeing Zhang Yan sitting on the phoenix chair, Zhu Cihong sat honestly on the dragon chair.

Li Mucai held the handle of the Imperial Treasure Knife in his left hand, stood in the middle of the dragon chair and the phoenix chair, and looked at the hundred officials under the Danbi.

The next moment.

The civil and military officials congratulated and said: "The ministers welcome the Queen Mother, the emperor." ”

......

On the dragon chair, Zhu Cihong enjoyed the worship of hundreds of officials for the first time, which was also the first time he participated in the court's grand court meeting after he became sensible.

It will also be the last.

More than two months have made him understand that no matter how much he fights, it will be futile.

Although he is the emperor, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is an emperor without any rights, and the cabinet, the six ministries, and the three divisions will not support him as an emperor.

None of the powerful ministers in the court were loyal to him.

Without the support of the Ming army, with only the identity of an emperor, what would he use to fight? To rebel.

It's better to go with the flow.

Zhu Cihong turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, who was dressed in a luxurious phoenix robe, on the phoenix chair not far on the right side, and thought that there was at least one more title of king.

Seeing Li Mu holding a knife on one side, he felt like he was breaking the jar.

No matter what the throne is.

No matter what the country is.

Regardless of the Zhu family that is about to be lost.

In spite of.......

Leave it all alone, do what you love, do it.

Just be a puppet that has been manipulated, sit on the dragon chair, wait for the last moment to come, and take off this dragon robe.

This is Zhu Cihong's mood at this time.

It's just that in the Taihe Palace, no one cares about Zhu Cihong's thoughts, and no one will pay attention to his mood.

After the civil and military officials greeted him, Wei Zhongxian, under Zhang Yan's instructions, took a step forward on the Danbi and shouted: "The Queen Mother is the will, and the hundred officials are flat." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Hundreds of officials are flat, standing in the queue.

Wei Zhongxian and other hundred officials stood still, stood on the Danbi, and said, "Can the hundred officials have something to play?" ”

Hearing this, the officials said in unison: "The ministers have nothing to do." ”

The civil and military officials under the Danbi all understood in their hearts what the purpose of today's court meeting was, the topic had been informed to the hundred officials, and the convening of the court meeting was nothing more than a formality.

Therefore, none of these hundred officials stood up to disturb the pace set by the entire court, and stood in the court class one by one, waiting for the results after the meeting.

At this time, Zhang Yan saw that the hundred officials had nothing to do, and said: "Since the hundred officials have nothing to do, there is one thing here in the mourning family, I don't know if the hundred officials want to hear it?" ”

Baiguan hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Listen to you." ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Zhu Cihong on the dragon chair, and then said slowly: "This matter, presumably the hundred officials have also heard of it, that is, the emperor has the heart of Zen, I wonder if the hundred officials have an opinion on this matter?" ”

Baiguan replied: "The ministers dare not speak falsely. ”

Zhang Yan turned her head to Zhu Cihong and said softly: "Mourning family, let's come up and tell the officials." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Queen Mother, let's talk to the hundred officials." ”

As soon as he heard that Zhu Cihong was going to say it in person, Wei Zhongxian on the Danbi felt tight, and the hundred officials under the Danbi were also very nervous, for fear that the emperor would have an accident.

Let the entire step-by-step dynasty lose its square inch.

Fortunately, under Li Mu's slightly unsheathed treasure knife, Zhu Cihong did not make a mistake, but recited: "I ascended the throne since I was a child...... ”

"Shouldering this Ming dynasty on young shoulders, fortunately, the first emperor thought everything he wanted, and selected four auxiliary cabinet ministers for me, and also selected Si Li Bingbi, Jin Yiwei commanded the envoy to supervise the country from the side, plus the first emperor asked his mother to help me take charge of the government ......."

"Only then did the current Ming Dynasty flourish."

"However, I am a young man, and I always think about it in the palace, thinking about my contribution to the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years, thinking about my past in the past ten years, and thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty."

"Suddenly, I found that I didn't seem to be suitable for ...... as an emperor."

"I, without the luck of the ancestors, I can not go to the court, I can indulge in the art of kitsch and keep the Ming Dynasty forever, these ten years of Daming rivers and mountains have been turbulent, natural disasters have continued, is it God warning me, warning me is not a good ......emperor."

“......”

"Therefore, I have the heart of Zen."

"I also hope that the hundred officials will assist the new successor and the new emperor with their hearts."

Finally, Zhu Cihong looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Father-in-law Wei, make a decree." ”

"The old slave obeys."

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian walked to the Danbi with the edict of the Zen throne and stood in front of the edict to read it.

At the same time, the officials knelt down and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I have bowed to my relatives for 17 years, after 17 years of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters have continued to ...... in these 17 years."

"Thinking about it, maybe God thinks that I am not a good emperor......."

"In the seventeen years since I ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Yi'an has been helping me manage the government, the deep world, and the trust of the court ....."

"The ancient Empress Wu ascended the throne and called the emperor to establish the Great Zhou, continuing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the existing Empress Dowager Chongzhen Yi'an of the Ming Dynasty ......"

"It was I who decided to place the throne in the queen mother: Empress Dowager Zhang Yan of Yi'an."

......

After the edict was read, the hundred officials hurriedly congratulated and said: "The ministers have received the decree ........"
