Chapter 822: Enthronement
In the sixteenth year of Zhengde, May 27.
"The first emperor collapsed suddenly, returned to the five elements, I inherited the emperor's life, and the saints rested...... If you want to prosper and govern, you must innovate for the sake of the cause. Everything is based on the old chapter, and it is also based on the ancestors. Self-only Liangde, still rely on pro-sage, and try to rule the new country. It takes next year as the first year of Jiajing, amnesty to the world, and the beginning of the change with the people. A eunuch in the palace read out the holy decree loudly with a sharp voice.
Originally, the name of the era agreed by the cabinet was "Shaozhi", but Zhu Houxi was very dissatisfied, so he changed it to Jiajing. It was the emperor's power to decide which era name to use, and the cabinet did not obstruct it.
Zhu Houxi sat on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe, and in the Fengtian Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt on the ground, respectfully worshipping their new emperor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up. Zhu Houxi looked at the hundred officials below, his eyes glanced at Yang Tinghe and the others, and then smiled slightly and said loudly.
At this moment, his dragon qi has been completely connected with the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and between his words, he is vaguely blessed with endless majesty, which makes many ministers feel pressured.
The people stood up as they were told, holding their wat boards, and stood solemnly in their place.
"I have just ascended the throne, and many things have to rely on the cabinet and your Aiqing. Zhu Houxi saw that the scene was a little solemn, so he restrained his momentum a little, which made everyone feel better.
Hearing the emperor say this, everyone bowed down again to show that they didn't dare.
"You have something important to do, if not, you can retire. "Normally, in the court, some major matters will be discussed, but today is the first day of Zhu Houxi's ascension to the throne, even if there are big things, they should be suppressed, and they can't rush this joy. Therefore, he said this just through the motions.
"Enlighten the saint, the old minister has something to play. But in this world, there are people who don't know each other, Yang Tinghe walked out of the crowd and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Tinghe with interest, with a hint of banter in his eyes.
"Since the emperor has ascended the throne, it is time to confirm the matter of entering the great sect to ensure orthodoxy. Yang Tinghe's eyes looked directly at Zhu Houxi, and his face did not move at all.
Zhu Houxi still didn't speak, and he couldn't see any change in his expression, but the hearts of the civil and military officials were slightly raised, and he didn't know if the emperor would cooperate this time.
"Oh, is the cabinet ticket ready?" After a while, Zhu Houxi spoke, and seemed to have just reacted, and said to Yang Tinghe inquiringly.
Yang Tinghe took out a fold from his cuff and raised it gently, "This is the cabinet's vote, and I ask the emperor to take a look." ”
A little eunuch standing beside Zhu Houyu hurriedly ran down, held the fold, and sent it to Zhu Houxi's side.
Zhu Houxi picked up the fold casually, and there was not much content in it, which was basically to let him take Xiaozong as the emperor's exam, his own father as the emperor's uncle and the emperor's uncle, and his biological mother as the emperor's uncle's mother Xingguo's concubine. That is, he wanted him to recognize Emperor Xiaozong as his father, and his parents became uncles and aunts.
Almost all the civil and military officials quietly held their breath, waiting for the emperor's answer. This incident is the first head-to-head confrontation between the civil official group and Zhu Houxi, and who wins and who loses will affect the pattern of the court in the future.
This is not like the collision two days ago, whether it is to go to the Daming Gate or to ascend the throne one day, these are harmless. But this entry into the sect is a matter that no one can bypass. For the people of science, Gangchang is bigger than the sky, if Zhu Houxi does not ascend the throne as the heir of Xiaozong, it will be a mess of Gangchang. And Zhu Houxi is even more unwilling to compromise, he is a Shinto person, and he strives to build an earthly kingdom of God, and a group of ministers let him succumb, so how can he grasp the power in the future?
Since no one can get around, one of them must be hit on the head and bleed.
"Not really. Zhu Houxi threw the fold into the tray and said lightly. The ministers present had also expected it in their hearts, and they were only a little surprised that the emperor spoke so directly.
"I hope the emperor thinks twice. Yang Tinghe knelt down tremblingly, his forehead pressed to the ground. And the Liang Prince, Jiang Mian, Mao Cheng and others behind him also knelt down in turn, and after a while, these ministers knelt on the ground, and almost half of them knelt down.
Those who can enter the palace to participate in the court meeting, as long as they are civil officials, they are basically people from the science sect, and they must stand aside with Yang Tinghe and others, even if they are not of the same faction, they must kneel down at this moment, which is to maintain the orthodoxy of science.
"Retreat. Zhu Houxi looked at these people, sneered lightly, and then walked down from the dragon chair and left the place directly. He is not Emperor Xiaozong, he treats those civil officials so leniently, and he is not Emperor Wuzong, he will only make a lot of noise when he encounters this. He will only choose to treat it coldly, since you are happy to kneel, then you can kneel well, and if you have the ability, you will kneel and die here.
When this matter was discussed in the court, after all, it was not possible to get a result, but everyone was prepared for a long time, and this matter could not be compromised, and it could not be compromised.
"Elder Yang Ge. Liang Chu stretched out his hand to hold Yang Tinghe's arm, and Yang Tinghe waved his hand.
"Go back, the emperor is always a big treasure when he first ascends to the throne, and those of us who are courtiers should always help a little. Although he touched Zhu Houxi's nose here, Yang Tinghe was not angry at all.
"Elder Yang Ge, this emperor's temperament, I'm afraid it's not so easy to handle. is not like Emperor Wuzong, at least there is a queen mother pressing. "Prince Liang was a little worried in his heart, Jiajing came to be the emperor alone, and his mind was so deep, if he really made a stubborn mistake, he really couldn't stop it.
"Even if it is the emperor, he has to act according to the rules, if anyone exceeds the rules, all the evil consequences will have to be swallowed by himself. "Yang Tinghe is not in the slightest hurry, this Ming dynasty belongs to his old Zhu family after all, if it really angers the civil official group, who will take care of the world for their family? Not to mention those people who study the mind, now the study of the mind is a small way after all, how many people can handle it? Once the current civil official group collapses, the whole world will immediately fall into great chaos.
Just like all dynasties, even if the emperor is choked by the ministers, he can't kill people indiscriminately. Go and see those emperors who kill people indiscriminately, how many of them can have a good end? In this world, you have to look not only at the knife, but also at the brain.
"Alas, I only hope that the emperor can understand our painstaking efforts. This is not right, it is not orthodox after all, let him take Xiaozong as his father, it is also for his good. "Prince Liang sighed a little, the emperors of the old Zhu family are more willful than the other, and it is also a hard work to be a courtier for them.
Thank you for the reward from the Shadow and the God of Worms
