According to the Confucian tradition of the mean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if Zhu Cihong placed the throne in Zhang Yan, as the successor, Zhang Yan could not ascend the throne at the first time and succeed to the throne.

In ancient China, as long as it was not the emperor who succeeded to the throne after the death of the previous emperor, all the successors would show that they did not care about the throne.

You can't just announce the succession, and the next moment, the successor will sit on the throne.

That will make the officials and the people of the world think that the successor seems to be so impatient that they can't wait.

So, after the announcement of the edict of the Zen throne.

Zhang Yan, who lived deep in the palace, began to prevaricate the request of hundreds of officials.

On the first day, the four ministers of the cabinet asked Empress Dowager Zhang Yan to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible on the grounds that the country could not be without a monarch for a day.

Zhang Yan was unworthy of unification as a woman, and refuted the requests of the four cabinet ministers.

The next day, it was the cabinet, the six ministries, and the three divisions together to ask the Empress Dowager Shu to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Zhang Yan once again refuted the request, and attached that the people of the world would not agree to her ascending the throne as emperor and becoming a generation of empresses.

On the third day, this time it was not only the cabinet, the six ministries, and the three divisions of the imperial court that invited the emperor, but also most of the people in the capital.

These people learned that Zhang Yan was unwilling to ascend the throne and become emperor.

So spontaneously, or at the instigation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he came to kneel outside the imperial city and wrote to the people, imploring the Empress Dowager Yi'an to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

As the empress, Dai Tian governs the people of the world.

After two requests and two refutations, finally under the third request and the people's letter to the people, Zhang Yan nodded and agreed to the request of the hundred officials, and chose a day to ascend the throne and inherit the unification.

and the Taihe Hall officially ascended the throne and became the emperor.

......

The fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Qin Tianjian is speculated to be an auspicious day, and it is also the Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains, which can be an auspicious day for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

......

Inside the Royal Palace.

In the Qianqing Palace, on the dragon bed of the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhang Yan looked at the auspicious day presented by the Qin Tianjian and asked Li Mu for advice: "Husband, how is this day?" ”

Li Mu put his arm around Zhang Yan, took the piece presented by Qin Tianjian, glanced at it, nodded and said, "Well, this day is good, there are a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

"Then it's a date." The auspicious date for the enthronement was set, and Zhang Yan handed the chapter to the palace maid and asked her to inform Wei Zhongxian that he could prepare for the enthronement.

Seeing this, Li Mu pressed Zhang Yan on the dragon bed and said, "Your Majesty, now the minister wants to be the empress." ”

Zhang Yan said shyly: "The concubine is not the empress yet." ”

Li Mu smiled indifferently: "Then I will go to the queen mother first, and after Yan'er ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, it will not be too late to become the empress." ”

Zhang Yan said disagreeingly: "Don't, wait a while, Sister Yu'er, they should come back, how bad it is to be seen." ”

"What are you afraid of, Yu'er and they came back, just to help her husband become the queen mother." After speaking, Li Mu no longer gave Zhang Yan a chance to speak, and kissed Zhu on the lips directly.

......

A few days later.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the auspicious day arrives.

The people are full of the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival, but a ceremony is being held in Beijing to determine the fate of the entire Daming country.

After a cumbersome ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement.

After worshipping the heavens and the earth, Zhang Yan finally wore an empress dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair in the Taihe Palace, ready to welcome the kneeling of hundreds of officials, and officially proclaimed the emperor to the world.

And the phoenix chair on the Danbi has long been removed.

As for Li Mu, he was still wearing a flying fish suit, standing on the Danbi with Wei Zhongxian, protecting the left and right of the dragon chair.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian came to the front of the Danbi and shouted to the hundred officials under the Danbi: "The hundred officials are quiet. ”

For a time, hundreds of officials were silent.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian turned around to look at Li Mu, and Zhang Yan on the dragon chair, and after receiving the answer, he turned around and said to the hundred officials: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the hundred officials should congratulate and bow down." ”

When the words fell, the brocade-clothed guards in the Taihe Hall knelt down at the same time and shouted: "Congratulations to the new emperor and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan." ”

This congratulatory sound sounded, and hundreds of officials followed, kneeling down and saying: "Congratulations to the new emperor on his arrival in the Ninth Five-Year Plan." ”

At the same time, congratulations also sounded outside the Taihe Palace.

"Congratulations to the new emperor on his arrival in the Ninth Five-Year Plan."

"Congratulations to the new emperor on his arrival in the Ninth Five-Year Plan."

......

It has been spread to the outside of the imperial city, in the capital, and in the end, the voice of the people can be faintly heard in the Taihe Palace.

With the faint sound of congratulations, Zhang Yan stretched out her hand under the Danbi and said, "Zhongqing's family is flat." ”

The hundred officials thanked them together and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Afterwards, Zhang Yan motioned to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Father-in-law Wei, let's announce the decree." ”

"The old slave obeys."

Wei Zhongxian took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago, and after bowing to Zhang Yan, he came to the Danbi and said, "The new emperor has a decree, and the hundred officials listen to the decree." ”

Seeing the holy decree, the hundred officials knelt down and said, "The ministers listen to the decree." ”

......

The next moment, Wei Zhongxian unfolded the holy decree and read it out in a subdued voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I am deeply disturbed when I first ascend to the great treasure.....

"I am fortunate to have the mercy of God, and I have succeeded the Ming Emperor Chan in me, entrusted the Jiangshan Sheji to me, and handed over the people of Li to my hands......"

"In the past 16 years, the country has been turbulent, natural disasters have continued, I don't know if it is a punishment from God, or the number ......of qi has been exhausted."

"Although there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters, I am fortunate that there are all kinds of ministers in the imperial court, who work for the imperial court and the suffering of the people of the world, and I know these things......"

"Yes, I have decided that the original officials in the court and the local government will remain unchanged, and they will continue to perform their duties for the benefit of one party......"

"However, those who have merit cannot fail to reward ......"

......

In short, Zhang Yan's first holy decree on the throne was to tell the ministers that there was no need to worry about the new emperor ascending the throne, and a major purge would be carried out.

As long as the ministers are honest, perform their duties, and benefit one party, the new emperor will not make a big move, and everything will remain the same as in the Chongzhen period.

However, in addition to maintaining the status quo, the new emperor will also seal some meritorious officials.

Otherwise, how can the new emperor face the meritorious ministers, the hundreds of officials, and the people of the world.

......

In the end, when Li Mu was about to lose it, Wei Zhongxian's holy decree also reached the final stage.

I only heard Wei Zhongxian shouting at the end of the holy decree: "The number of Great Ming Qi has been exhausted..., I decided to change the name of the country to Qing and the name of the year to Shunzhi." ”

"Take the meaning of ruling by the sky."

Subsequently, Wei Zhongxian closed the holy decree and said: "Hundreds of officials accept the decree." ”

The words fell, and the hundred officials kneeling under the Danbi bowed in unison and said, "The ministers will receive the order." ”
