On April 21, the new emperor and his entourage arrived in the suburbs of Beijing.

Under the auspices of Yang Tinghe, the situation in Beijing has basically been fine, and the palace and the Ministry of Rites are ready to welcome the new emperor to the throne.

This shows that Zhu Si succeeded the small sect and inherited the throne as the "emperor's younger brother", and regarded the Empress Dowager Zhang as the "mother".

But when Yang Tinghe was preparing to send the edict of succession to the holy car, Shi Xuan, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly brought a letter from Shangshu Mao Cheng and asked to see Yang Tinghe.

“…… Zhongtang, the new emperor, seems to be very concerned about the matter of birth, the envoy to Anlu after staying for many days without departure, on the road and many times asked about family affairs, and even on the way to the intention of returning, the north to the capital every day only four or five hours, dark to rest, I am afraid that he will be slack off on the succession of the throne......"

Shi Xuan is considered to be Yang Tinghe's descendant, and he is the most optimistic candidate in the Ministry of Rites to inherit the book of the Ministry of Rites.

His words were just a series of things that happened to Zhu Si during the driving process, and after summarizing them, he truthfully informed Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe didn't know, but he didn't feel the need to listen too much about many things, he didn't believe that anyone would not covet the throne, but he was afraid that many things were deliberately created by the new emperor.

Yang Tinghe looked indifferent, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, maybe it's just a coy gesture." ”

Shi Xuan said: "As you can see below, this may not be the case. Your lord is close to Yuan Zhongde, who is close to the long history, and is also extremely anxious about your lord's arrival in Beijing on the road, and has repeatedly urged to no avail, but has been repeatedly reprimanded by your lord, if he really has the heart to succeed to the throne, why would he be so snub to the people close to him? ”

Yang Tinghe frowned when he heard this.

Shi Xuan's words are actually reminding that if the little emperor who is about to ascend the throne is really coy, then what is the purpose of his doing this?

To do something that doesn't make sense, you always have to find the starting point for his actions, right?

Shi Xuan, as the spokesman of the Ministry of Rites when Mao Cheng was not in Beijing, participated in the formulation of the etiquette for the new emperor to inherit the throne as the crown prince.

He said, "Could it be...... This noble lord has doubts about the number of rites of succession? ”

Shi Xuan's last sentence was said in accordance with Yang Tinghe's meaning...... Didn't you say that the little emperor was coy? Then I'll analyze it, could it be that he doesn't want to succeed to the name of Xiaozong as an emperor?

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Tinghe shook his head slightly: "The previous edict did not mention this matter, not to mention that with his small sect body, he succeeded to the big sect as the emperor, which is to control the situation of the world, he is no longer a child, how can he not understand this truth?" There will be gains and losses, and it is expected that he will not have any abnormal behavior, and when he arrives in Beijing, everything will be under our control. ”

……

……

Yang Tinghe is very confident.

I gave you a dragon chair to sit on, and you dare to pick and choose with me? I decided that the emperor belonged to me, so who would be the one who didn't say anything to me?

I thought so in my heart, but Yang Tinghe definitely wouldn't implement it like this.

It is impossible to change it casually if it is decided who will be the emperor, and it is in line with the Ming Dynasty to make Zhu Si the emperor, if you let someone else inherit the throne, it will be a mess of Gangchang, and if the name is not right, it will not be good.

But Yang Tinghe still despised Zhu Si's determination to inherit the throne.

is also because Zhu Si is a "great filial son".

Coupled with living in the shadow of the court in the past few years, he felt that being an emperor was also a matter of danger and opportunity, even if he wanted to be an emperor again, but if he couldn't suppress the powerful ministers in the court, he was likely to die young when he became an emperor......

The sense of crisis that Zhu Hao planted for him worked at this time.

In history, he was originally a little stubborn cow, but with Zhu Hao's encouragement, he was even more of a cow with a temper, and no one could pull it back.

On April 22, the holy driver and his entourage finally arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, but did not move forward.

Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly returned to the city, and the instruction was still to let Zhu Si enter the city as the crown prince, enter the palace with Donghua Gate and live in the Wenhua Palace, and choose a day to ascend the throne.

In the afternoon of the same day, the transcript of the Ministry of Rites was approved by the Empress Dowager Zhang and sent to Zhu Si, and it was Shi Yuan Zonggao, the head of the palace, who came to send Yi Zhi with Mao Cheng.

“…… Your Royal Highness, now you have the grace of the Queen Mother, and you will succeed to the Emperor Xiaozong of Daxing as a righteous son, and enter the palace as the crown prince to wait for the succession. ”

When Mao Cheng said this, his heart was full of worry.

From the moment he saw Zhu Si, he felt that this was a very difficult master, and others were rushing to get some benefits, but this person was not even in a hurry to fall on the throne, with a posture of who likes to be who, coupled with the various "filial piety" behaviors he showed before, it is hard to imagine that he will easily comply.

Zhu Si looked at Yuan Zonggao and asked, "Yuan Changshi, is that so?" ”

Yuan Zonggao was stunned by the question.

At this point, what can he say?

Tell Zhu Si, don't be the emperor, let's go back to Anlu?

Or is it that you can't be the crown prince according to the etiquette set by the Ministry of Rites now, and you have to go directly to the palace to become the emperor?

Yuan Zonggao is now clearly in the capacity of the chief of the palace, following the emperor to Beijing as an official, and in the future, he will have to be a minister in the same hall with Yang Tinghe and other ministers, so naturally he will not be entangled too much on the issue of etiquette that seems to be trivial and detailed.

"Yes."

Yuan Zonggao nodded, and then added, "Everything is subject to His Highness's opinion." ”

Even if he made a turn in his tone, it hurt Zhu Si's heart.

Everything is afraid of contrast.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin tried their best to help him make suggestions on the issue of great gifts, and took this opportunity to deal with Yang Tinghe, Empress Dowager Zhang and other old forces in the court, but you, Yuan Zonggao, are now standing with the Ministry of Rites, persuading me to give up my identity as King Xing and succeed to the name of Xiaozong, aren't you betrayed?

But because Yuan Zonggao has contributed to the Xingwang Mansion for many years, and he is still his nominal husband, Zhu Si naturally will not vent the anger in his heart, and he now has the emperor's city government.

Zhu Sidao: "The edict is based on my heir to the throne of the emperor, not the prince." ”

In a word, Mao Cheng and Yuan Zonggao choked back.

This involves the edict drafted by Yang Tinghe in the emperor's tone, as well as the edict drafted by the Empress Dowager Zhang, which only mentions that Zhu Silai will succeed to the throne, and does not mention that he wants to succeed him.

To say that Yang Tinghe is also far-sighted, this matter may be his mistake, he didn't think so much about it when drafting the edict, or it may be that he was worried that it was a bit ridiculous to let Zhu Houzhao find a "royal brother" for himself in the form of an edict, saying that Zhu Si is his own son and does not agree with the generation, how can there be a reason for a son to accept a son for his father?

This involves the question of whether the "carrying" generation will succeed to the throne or the "thick" generation will succeed to the throne.

In fact, if Yang Tinghe chooses the Zaizai generation of the Yiwang Mansion to succeed to the throne, the bloodline relationship with Zhu Houzhao is not very far, but it is from the legal system that Zhu Si and Yiwang father and son are separated, a little biased, if you really choose the Zaizi generation, then the edict will be much better, just go directly to be Zhu Houzhao's son.

But now that he is the son of Xiaozong, there are more troubles.

Perhaps from the beginning, no one would have thought that Zhu Si would be so entangled because of a name issue, and even showed an indomitable momentum of "if you don't listen to me, I will pick a son".

Mao Cheng hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, everything should be based on state affairs, now that you have arrived in Beijing, the preparations for the Ministry of Rites have been properly prepared, if everything changes, I am afraid that there will be changes." ”

"Oh, that means somebody's coming to grab the throne, isn't it? Then let them grab it, I have never wanted to be the king of Xing, I don't want to be an emperor...... Is it really that good to be an emperor? Not necessarily! You better go back and ask, if it really doesn't work, I'll go back to Anlu, and you can choose another person to be the emperor! Drop-off! ”

Zhu Si's attitude was so tough that he didn't give Mao Cheng any chance to plead, making Mao Cheng have two big heads.

……

……

Yuan Zonggao had no choice but to accompany Mao Cheng out.

Mao Cheng hurriedly said: "Zhongde, you will tell me the truth, this ...... Your Highness, what are you going to do? ”

Yuan Zonggao sighed lightly: "The young master is young, but he attaches great importance to filial piety and etiquette, but the previous king taught him well, and he has no desire to compete for fame and profit, if he really can't do it......"

There are some words, Yuan Zonggao didn't know what to say.

Yuan Zonggao was 10,000 willing in his heart to let Zhu Si be the emperor.

Supporting the young master to be the emperor is not also Zhu Youqi's will?

If Zhu Youqi knew that his son didn't even want the emperor's throne for the sake of his father-son status, he would probably jump up from the grave in anger.

But now Zhu Si is so stubborn, are you Yuan Zonggao on Zhu Si's side, or on the side of the imperial court?

Yuan Zonggao can only be forced to help Zhu Si speak now.

"Alas!"

Mao Cheng sighed heavily, and after shaking his head helplessly, he could only take someone to hurry into the city before dark, inform Yang Tinghe of today's meeting with Zhu Si, and then inform the Empress Dowager Zhang.

……

……

"Does the new emperor agree to succeed as the crown prince?"

Yang Tinghe had already discussed the details of the enthronement ceremony with Prince Liang and Jiang Mian, who had just returned to the city, but they were summoned by Mao Cheng in person to inform the new emperor that he was in the whole moth, and Yang Tinghe was immediately annoyed.

Jiang Mian was puzzled: "The new emperor has arrived in Beijing, this is ...... Ready to fly...... Why? ”

Herein lies the problem.

The matter was settled, and the people also arrived in the capital, and the throne had been vacant for more than 30 days, and suddenly said that the new emperor did not even want the emperor's position in order not to be the crown prince, and wanted to return to Anlu to continue to be his king......

Please, can you be early next time you make trouble?

In this way, we can change the emperor as soon as possible, and now re-elect the emperor and pass on the decree again, so that the imperial court can take back the news that has been released, so that the hearts of the stable people will be separated?

Now almost everyone in the world knows that it is King Xiaoxing who succeeds him, and it is impossible to change it temporarily.

Liang Chu said: "It's just that you don't enter the palace from Donghua Gate, and you can be flexible, but you have to ask the Queen Mother." ”

Yang Tinghe was extremely annoyed in his heart, but he could only follow the advice of Prince Liang and said, "Immediately notify the master of ceremonies, Wei Gong, and ask him to ask the Empress Dowager to make a decree overnight!" ”
