The monarch and the ministers each took a step back, paving the way for Zhu Si to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Zhu Si entered the city in the morning of the same day, entered the palace from the Daming Gate at noon, and was escorted to the Fengtian Hall by the guards of the Xingwang Mansion Honor Guard, the Jinyi Guard, and the Imperial Forest Army, and met with the ministers who had been waiting there for a long time.

Officially enthroned.

Yang Tinghe presided over the enthronement ceremony.

The military generals present, many people Zhu Si didn't know, and Yang Tinghe personally came forward to introduce Zhu Si, in fact, this was originally the duty of the eunuch, but Yang Tinghe obviously wanted to tell Zhu Si in this way, who should you listen to after becoming the emperor.

After a brief introduction, Zhu Si was immediately sealed by the eunuch Wei Bin, who was in charge of the eunuch Wei Bin, and took out the "edict" prepared by Yang Tinghe in advance, which was equivalent to the first edict on the throne issued by the emperor after he ascended the throne, and the last two sentences were: "...... I was ordered by the imperial brother to enter Fengzong, and changed the name of the next year to Shaozhi. ”

Issuing an edict in the name of the emperor, Yang Tinghe has been doing it recently, as a cabinet scholar to help the emperor draft the edict and there is no encroachment, but this edict was only approved by Zhu Sishou to call Zhu Houzhao "imperial brother", and Zhu Sike did not agree to the change of the yuan.

Originally, after the edict was announced, it was equivalent to immediate execution, and the ministers could bow down and obey the order.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Silang asked: "Shaozhi's era name is not good, didn't the cabinet make other alternatives?" ”

When a question comes out, it makes the people present feel like their hairs stand on end.

It has been published as your edict, and you suddenly ask if there is any alternative?

This is not clear to tell the ministers present that this edict was not made by me, and the name of this Shaozhi era is not chosen by me?

Yang Tinghe's face was dark, and he instantly felt like his face had been slapped a few times.

But Yang Tinghe still stubbornly came out and said: "The name of Shaozhi is the rule of Shao Hongzhi, and the meaning of the disadvantages of the pre-revolutionary dynasty is to highlight the actions of His Majesty in the rule of culture......"

Yang Tinghe means that he has already chosen the era name of Shaozhi, so don't toss around, you are young and don't understand the reason, I will tell you what are the benefits of this era name, you just accept it.

Zhu Sidao: "What I ask is, is there any other alternative?" ”

Yang Tinghe's breath was a little uneven, and said: "There are still two choices: Mingliang and Jiajing." ”

Before Zhu Si arrived in the capital, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites were working out the issue of the year name for the coming year as appropriate, and the three alternatives were Shaozhi, Mingliang and Jiajing, and Shaozhi was selected by Yang Tinghe and the clapper, but now it is clear that Zhu Si does not want to let Yang Tinghe be good at it.

Zhu Si nodded and said: "Jiajing's name is better, take the words of "Shangshu", 'Don't dare to be wasteful, Jiajing Yinbang.'" As for the small and big, there is no time or resentment', but there is the emperor's encouragement to be diligent in governing the country, I think that the name of the next year will be set as Jiajing! ”

A few words, seemingly ordinary, but seem to tell everyone present that I, the new emperor, seem to be young, but I have not slackened in terms of cultural knowledge, you can tell me a word casually, I can clearly tell you the source, and explain its connotation, but it also happens to hit back at you, making people feel that I have a reasonable basis for changing your initial era name.

Yang Tinghe originally despised Zhu Si a little, but he was just the son of the vassal king, or the only son of King Xing, since he was a child, even after systematic education, he should be no different from a gentleman, who knew that he would quote scriptures to refute himself, and he said it so convincingly, Yang Ting and himself didn't know how to refute.

Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, said: "This proposal is very good! ”

Just these four words show that Wang Qiong is making her last death struggle.

Perhaps Wang Qiong himself knew that Yang Tinghe had no good fruit to eat after he came to power, so when the emperor first ascended the throne, he desperately went to the new emperor's side.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Wang Qiong, and then saluted: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Zhu Sidao: "Okay, I have already seen some of the people who came to Beijing with me, I want to arrange them to be used by me in the court, do you have any opinions?" ”

Yang Tinghe had long known that Zhu Si might install people from the Xingwang Mansion in the imperial court, but he didn't expect Zhu Si to speak so directly, he thought that this kid was not easy to deal with, and when he saw that he was going to be nepotistic when he first took office, he suddenly felt that the new emperor didn't have so many city mansions, maybe he was just too careful.

"It should be assessed by the Ministry of Officials, then recommended by the court, and decided by the ministers." Yang Tinghe said.

Zhu Si asked: "The right long history of the palace who followed me to the Beijing Division, Yuan Zonggao, is my gentleman since childhood, with his erudition and talent, as well as his seniority in the court, what kind of official position should he be entrusted with?" ”

Zhu Si came up to entrust Yuan Zonggao with his official position, but he actually wanted to push Yuan Zonggao out and stand on the cusp.

Without waiting for Yang Tinghe to speak, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, came out again and said: "Now the position of the right attendant of the ministry is vacant. ”

"Okay, I propose that Yuan Qing's family take over the position of the right attendant of the ministry, do you have any objections? If not...... So do it! "Zhu Sidao.

It's too arbitrary.

Stubble after stubble, originally Yang Tinghe wanted to tell Zhu Si that this kind of thing can be done slowly, there is no need to worry, now it is just a simple enthronement ceremony, in order to quickly stabilize the court and people's hearts, there is no need to come up to appoint officials, and we will not treat the subordinate officials of Xingwangfu badly.

But now that Zhu Si has brought it up, there is also Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, who is also pushing the flames, making Yang Tinghe fall into passivity on the scene.

"Elder Yang Ge, what is your opinion?"

Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe was confused for a while, and thought to himself, you kid is very powerful.

So many ministers of the court and the central government gathered in Si, you are a young man, the first time to participate in such a large-scale court meeting, you are not stage frightened at all, and you are also clearly organized, first put forward the proposal, and finally ask my opinion, I don't know, I think you have been the emperor for a few years, you already have experience.

Yang Tinghe wanted to refuse, or delay, but seeing that Liang Chu and Jiang Mian next to him were reminding him with their eyes not to refuse bluntly, causing the monarch and the minister to oppose each other, Yang Tinghe said: "If your colleagues have no opinion, the old minister seconds it." ”

Zhu Sidao: "Then everyone present, who has an opinion?" ”

Of course, no one will have an opinion.

After Zhu Si asked three times, he said: "Then the ministry will go to the court, I will approve Yuan Changshi's official position, as for other affairs, everything will be done according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, I will not ask more, now that I have experienced treachery and calamity to the country, the people's lives are miserable, and everything should be based on recuperation." I have just ascended to the great treasure, please mention more of the puzzled points...... I would like to thank you here first. ”

"Don't dare!"

Originally, Yang Tinghe also wanted to give Zhu Si a label of "stubborn and self-serving" and "nepotism", but after listening to Zhu Si's later words, it was clear that people knew the proportions and advance and retreat, and they just wanted someone in the court to help them speak, so they would arrange for Yuan Zonggao to go to the ministry as a waiter, plus Yuan Zonggao's age and qualifications were placed there, and he also served as a Jiangxi envoy, and it was in line with the law to transfer the Beijing division as a waiter after nine years of examination.

It's hard to put a bad hat on the new emperor.

Zhu Si suddenly looked at Yang Tinghe again, and said: "I heard that more than a month after the death of the imperial brother, the elder Yang Ge supervised the state affairs, and arrested a traitor, waiting to be questioned. May I ask Elder Yang Ge, do I have the right to take over and let Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigate and punish them for their crimes with the same party? ”

Zhu Si's shots were one ring after another.

arranged Yuan Zonggao to be the servant of the ministry, and it was successfully completed, and then he had to take the power of the edict firmly into his hands, and the opportunity was to convict Jiang Bin, Qian Ning, Yu Jing, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Rui and other ministers around Zhu Houzhao.

Originally, Yang Tinghe didn't want to delegate power, but the edict was originally a unique power of the emperor, and now Dongchang and Jinyiwei are only temporarily coordinated by him, if the edict is in the hands of civil officials, it is not in line with the original intention of the edict.

"The minister does not dare to object."

Yang Ting and acquaintances let go, which means that you can decide this kind of thing yourself.

Zhu Si was very satisfied, nodded and said: "I will not act arbitrarily, first send these traitors to prison, find out the crimes and the same party, and then transfer them to the criminal department for conviction, if there are still traitors in the court and not investigated, the official of the Taoist will also play the impeachment, I will consider the interests and disadvantages as appropriate, and hand them over to the prison for investigation!" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Not to mention Yang Tinghe, even the other ministers present felt that this young man was not simple.

The first time everyone met, it was also the first court meeting, this little emperor did several incredible things in such an orderly manner, first changed the year name to let people know that he would not obey the cabinet and the six ministries, and then arranged for Yuan Zonggao to enter the center of the court, and finally said that he had the right to belong to the prison, step by step, it can be said that it is a link and a ring, which is impressive.

Yang Tinghe didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The Zhengde Dynasty is chaotic, the emperor is messing around, and all of them are in trouble with the country and the people, so that the people's grievances are boiling, and now the new emperor has played the banner to govern the country diligently and set things right, plus the little emperor is relaxed and relaxed, and the Ming Dynasty is back on the right path, and the civil officials should be happy.

But why can't you be happy?

When he came up, he took power, and he took it so steadily and ruthlessly, so that Yang Tinghe felt that the situation was not good, and the emperor who was good at using power was good for a short time, but in the long run, he would be stubborn and self-serving, and govern the country in his own way, and the final result may be more difficult to control than a foolish emperor.

But at the moment, he couldn't say anything.

……

……

An enthronement ceremony concluded.

The ministers went out of the palace and performed their duties.

Before retiring from the court, Zhu Si made it clear that he would not stop holding daily court meetings in the future, and it seemed that he would implement his promise to govern the country diligently.

Originally, Yang Tinghe wanted to raise the question of when the palace test, which had been postponed for a year, would be held, but when he thought that the emperor had just ascended the throne, there would be a lot of time to meet in the future, so there was no need to throw it all at once, and he suffered a lot of dumb losses at this court meeting, so he didn't say much.

As soon as the ministers left, Zhu Si went to the inner hall to check his future living place under the guidance of Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the palace, and went to greet the Empress Dowager Zhang.

"I want to see my grandmother......"

Zhu Si followed his own Zhang Yongdao in small steps.

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't call yourself me, now you are the lord of the world." In the palace, you just have to tell you where you want to go. ”

Zhu Sidao: "Then who I let into the palace is also a matter of one sentence, right?" ”
