Chapter 473: The Son or the Prince? (Add)
On the morning of 26 March, the envoys arrived in Anlu.
Gu Dayong arrived in advance, but did not have the opportunity to see, at this time to welcome the envoy and his party is equivalent to passing on the edict for Zhu Houzhao, naturally you can enter the palace, and Yuan Zonggao will take the people of the palace chief Shi Si and the honor and guard department to welcome the palace.
Zhu Si waited for the envoys in the main hall, beside Zhu Si, one left and one right were Zhu Chen, the guard and Zhang Zuo, the eunuch Zhang Zuo, Tang Yin, as a person without official and no character, was not qualified to stand in the main hall to listen to the emperor's will, but Zhu Si was afraid that something was wrong, so he asked Tang Yin to guard behind the curtain between the main hall and the back hall.
The envoys stood in the courtyard, not near the main hall.
First, the eunuch Gu Dayong and Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, entered the main hall and read the edict of Emperor Daxing to Zhu Si.
Everything is counted in the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Zhu Si still needs to kneel down and listen to the order at this time, at this time he is equivalent to the prince waiting for the succession, and he is still a minister rather than a king.
“…… I am dying, the heir has not been built, my emperor is the eldest son of the king of Xingxian Wang Hou Xi has grown up, virtuous and benevolent and filial piety, Lun order should be established, has obeyed the ancestral training brother and the last brother of the text, told in the temple, please in the Empress Dowager Cishou, the same day to send an official to welcome to Beijing, the heir to the emperor's throne, enshrined in the temple. ”
Although the edict was written by Yang Tinghe, it was written in the tone of the emperor, and the content was to let Zhu Si go to the capital to succeed to the throne.
Then Gu Dayong read out the decree of the Empress Dowager: "The emperor is dying of illness, and he has welcomed the eldest son of King Xingxian to come to Beijing, and the heir to the throne of the emperor, all affairs are waiting for the heir to be punished on the solstice." ”
After reading it, Zhu Si respectfully received the holy decree and the edict and stood up.
Immediately, Gu Dayong and Mao Cheng knelt down and saluted Zhu Si.
"Flat."
Zhu Si's expression was calm.
When he walked to the door of the main hall, all the envoys outside kowtowed to him respectfully, although Zhu Si has not officially succeeded to the throne now, but legally speaking, he is already the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and the envoys outside have the merit of supporting, and it is also polite to kneel and kowtow to Zhu Si at this time.
"I haven't succeeded to the throne yet, I'm just the prince of Xingwang, you don't have to be so polite, just be even." Zhu Si had a calm attitude.
He still seems to be entangled in the problem that he is not a king of Xing, but just a son of the world, so that he speaks with a choking intention like raising a bar.
Zhang Heling took the lead in getting up from the ground and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty hurry up to the Beijing Division, after boarding the dragon chair, you will be the son of tomorrow!" ”
Zhu Si looked at this person who spoke very unpleasantly, and was wondering who this thing was, at this time, Gu Dayong came over and introduced everyone present to Zhu Si as the new emperor's slave.
When Zhu Si heard that the unknown bird in front of him was the notorious Zhang family's relative, Zhu Si couldn't help frowning slightly.
Liang Chu, a scholar, approached and said: "The prince, when you go to Beijing to succeed to the throne earlier, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the prince should determine the stability of the country as soon as possible...... Please go on the road. ”
Zhu Si choked and said, "What road?" I'm not dead, you came to Anlu, and you didn't even want to stay overnight, so you want me to go with you? Can your body survive? ”
Everyone present was a little confused.
Before they arrived at Anlu, they estimated in their hearts that if the young man in front of them learned that he was going to be the emperor, he might be excited, for fear that the throne he had obtained would fly, and he would have to rush to the capital? But why is this kid so calm now, as if it is a great burden to inherit the throne?
And it doesn't even matter if you go to Beijing to succeed to the throne?
"I'm going to bid farewell to my father's grave...... You need to be cautious about going to Beijing, first pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, Yuan Changshi, you choose, and see which day it is more appropriate to visit the tomb. ”
Zhu Si looked at Yuan Zonggao, who was also a little confused.
After Yuan Zonggao learned that Zhu Si was about to become the emperor, he hurriedly discussed with Princess Jiang, and did not have much contact with Zhu Si from beginning to end.
Many people in Xingwangfu are thinking, what is the situation? If you get an edict to inherit the throne, you are not in a hurry? It is understandable to go to the tomb, what is the number of ways to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac?
"This ...... Why not tomorrow? ”
Yuan Zonggao didn't say anything, you will go to worship today, and leave after worshipping, and give one day is enough.
Zhu Si's face was dark, obviously not very satisfied with this, but Zhang Zuo trotted all the way, and after he got Tang Yin's instructions, he came over to pass the word: "Your Royal Highness, the slave maid has checked, the first day of the fourth month is an auspicious day, and it is very suitable to worship the tomb." ”
"Oh, let's set it on the first day of April...... You have worked hard all the way, so Zhang Fengzheng will arrange it for everyone to rest for a few days. ”
After Zhu Si finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The envoys who were present almost wanted to fry the pot.
This little Xingwang obviously doesn't play cards according to the routine!
It's only March 26, even if it's not 30 in this month, it's four days before we go to worship the tomb, even if we are really tired, we rushed from the capital to Anlu in ten days, almost day and night, but we are far from tired to the point of resting for four days in a row!
What kind of statement is this?
Zhang Heling smiled and said: "The new emperor is so tolerant of us, it is really the luck of the courtiers, why are you stunned?" Why don't you find a place to take a good rest, just take a look at Anlu place...... What's so delicious and fun, I heard that Huguang opera originated from Anlu, right? ”
There are strange ones, and there are even more strange ones.
Liang Chu's face was serious, and he faintly felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't grasp it accurately, he naturally didn't expect that Zhu Si's calm and relaxed spirit was secretly instructed by someone, in order to win a bigger bargaining chip after arriving in Beijing, so that he could succeed a child emperor without any status from a foreign sect to a real emperor who could have the right to speak.
"Liang Ge Old ......"
Mao Cheng naturally asked Liang Chu for instructions.
Although Mao Chenggui is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the number of etiquette matters is determined by him, but now Yang Tinghe dominates everything in the court, and the second assistant Liang Chu is the envoy sent by Yang Tinghe, and they are just following the miscellaneous and mixing up the merits.
Liang Chu said: "The prince is benevolent and filial, and the ministers are retiring. ”
While calling Zhu Si "the prince", but unconsciously calling himself a "minister", it shows that Liang Chu also understands in his heart that only Zhu Si ascends the throne, and no one can change it, and the emperor said that he will leave in a few days, and he can act according to his words.
……
……
The envoys were arranged to live in a courtyard near the Xingwang Mansion, and because of the large number of people who came, different residences were assigned.
Even the Imperial Forest Army and the Jinyi Guards brought with them were also settled.
At this point, Zhang Zuo is very good at superficial things, and now Yuan Zonggao is no longer responsible for the reception, Zhang Zuo has taken back the power he has lost for a long time, which makes him feel very down-to-earth, and he is determined to work hard with Tang Yin.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Tang......"
Zhang Zuo arranged everything to come back, at this time it was not completely dark, and seeing that there were only Zhu Si and Tang Yin in the study, Zhang Zuo looked excited.
In the past, Zhang Zuo formed an alliance with Tang Yin, all of which were led by him, and Tang Yin acted according to orders.
But with Zhu Youqi's death for nearly two years, the Changshi Division controlled by Yuan Zonggao has eaten away the power at his hands, and he is no longer qualified to pretend to be big in front of Tang Yin, and it is good to follow Tang Yin's orders now.
People have brains, and the absolute trust of the new emperor, this is not comparable to him Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo is the person who knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder in the Xingwang Mansion.
Zhu Sidao: "Don't call Your Majesty, it sounds awkward, or call me the son, don't they all call me that?" ”
Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Then you should also be called the prince." ”
"What prince?"
Zhu Si's face changed instantly, and he shouted, "I have never been anyone's prince, I am the young master of Xingwangfu, but the king of Xing!" Longer memory in the future. ”
Zhang Zuo was scolded by Zhu Si, his face was a little stiff, he didn't dare to laugh anymore, he quickly lowered his head, but he couldn't figure it out, a question of status, does this little master care so much?
Tang Yin seemed to have known Zhu Si's temperament for a long time, and said: "Now that the envoy has arrived, according to Zhu Hao's thoughts, we should wait for the word to be slow, but I don't know what the situation in Beijing is now?" Did Jiang Bin and other treacherous people make waves? ”
Zhang Zuodao: "Mr. Tang, I just asked Gu Gonggong, he said that he just received a letter from Jingshi Kuaima yesterday, saying that the traitor Jiang Bin escaped from Bei'anmen on March 18 and was taken down by the guards, and now he has been imprisoned. ”
After Zhu Si heard this, his face was calm, and he didn't say anything, as if what happened in the capital had nothing to do with him.
Tang Yin's eyes were profound: "Jiang Bin has so much power at hand, under the Son of Heaven, there is no one in the world who is on the right side, and he is so embarrassed that he wants to escape?" ”
Zhang Zuodao: "I heard that on the day of His Majesty's Bintian, the cabinet and the Queen Mother issued an edict, Jiang Bin hid in the leopard room and did not come out, it was Yang Ge Lao who personally received him, and passed him and Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to enter the palace with the Empress Dowager's decree, Yang Ge Lao took the opportunity to gather Jiang Bin's party and let him defect to occupy the leopard room.
"When Jiang Bin went out of the palace, the Queen Mother Yizhi detained people, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she took her relatives and fled from Xi'an Gate, and wanted to go to Xuanfu to send troops, but the door was closed, and she went to Bei'anmen, but it was Xu Tai, the guard of Bei'anmen, who captured it personally!"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "It's really interesting, haven't Xu Tai and Jiang Bin always been close?" This group of people is really a model of falling into the ground. ”
"Isn't it?"
Zhang Zuo's eyebrows fluttered, "Now there is no one in the capital who can threaten the young master's accession to the throne." ”
Zhang Zuoxue is smart, he doesn't call His Majesty or the prince, the prince or the like, but instead calls the young master, which is both cordial and can't find fault with speech.
Zhu Si looked worried: "When I was in the capital, Zhu Hao gave me a lesson and told me who the enemy would be if I became the emperor in the future. He told me at the time that the emperor's ministers could not raise a monstrous wave, and this group of people were simply guts and bandits, rats, and their destruction was only an overnight thing...... He told me that what I really had to worry about was actually Yang Ge Lao and the Wenchen around him. ”
"This ......"
Zhang Zuo didn't follow Zhu Si to the capital, just heard that Zhu Hao insisted on giving Zhu Si a lesson during that time, but he didn't know that he was taking an imperial class, and sighed in his heart, this Zhu Hao, he really dares to talk about anything.
At that time, the young master was not a prince, so he could make a plan in advance?
But that's right.
