"Please King Yan into the palace, His Royal Highness's move is to comply with the mandate of heaven, the people surrender, today into this Ming Imperial City, is the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, these courtiers offend His Royal Highness King Yan, it is a great disrespect."

The name of the speaker is Chen Ying, a native of Hongwuzhong, who entered Taixue with talents, served as the imperial history, and then became an envoy to Shandong.

Because he had been walking around with Zhu Di, Jianwen directly demoted his official position on the grounds of receiving Zhu Di's things, and asked him to return to the capital many times.

In history, King Yan was called the emperor and was called the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and he was appointed as the secretary of the court.

Cheng Yuan shook his head, civil officials are always so cheap, they have to kill a few soft bones who are willing to admit their mistakes.

Zhu Di said: "These rotten Confucians, although they don't like the king when they talk and do things, but they are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty, and they also have integrity, but killing them will not affect the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to kill them." ”

Chen Ying took other civil officials and immediately said to Zhu Di: "Please invite His Royal Highness King Yan into the palace." ”

The civil officials glanced at Cheng Yuan beside Zhu Di and thought thoughtfully.

After the beheading, everyone was in a bad mood.

Before Zhu Di walked to the Fengtian Palace, Ji Gang and the others said that another group of officials had come. He frowned directly and said, "Let them go, this king is gone." ”

"Yes." Ji Gang immediately ordered someone to stop it.

Zhu Quan and Zhu Bai said: "Fourth brother, inheriting the unification is what everyone expects, fourth brother, don't shirk it, otherwise the name is not right, and it will be difficult to give an order." ”

Cheng Yuan naturally understood what they meant, now that the Ming Dynasty has no owner, the people have to settle down at the moment, and the Ming Dynasty needs to have a new king ascend the throne immediately to stabilize the people's hearts and take charge of big and small affairs.

At this moment, Princess Ningguo's concubine Mei Yin is still organizing an army of 400,000, and Huang Zicheng and they went to Fengyang to prepare the army of King Qin.

Now everyone is facing the vacant position of allegiance to the Ming Dynasty or loyalty to the dead emperor, and the civil and military officials and officials from all over the country are waiting and seeing.

Moreover, so many people who were born and died with Zhu Di must have a place to settle down, and they can't chill the hearts of loyal ministers.

But for Zhu Di, the most important thing is to draw an end to the battle of Jingjing, and it is necessary to ensure that the result of Jingjing is justified.

Jing Nan succeeded in raising troops, none of the traitors died, and the emperor died, how to explain this.

If Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai did not die in the name of traitors, Zhu Di would have been able to live in the name of thieves.

But Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru were all central ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, and Zhu Di only sat on the throne to deal with them, so that he could draw an end to Jingnan more justifiably.

Otherwise, he is a traitor who kills kings and kills ministers.

Zhu Di was clear-minded, and he also knew why Cheng Yuan didn't persuade him, and he was not in a hurry for a few days, so he said: "I'll talk about the matter of ascending the throne in a few days, and arrest those traitors first." ”

Watching Ji Gang leave, Zhu Di said: "Keep the brocade guard and reorganize it, it can be of great use in the future." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "What does the prince mean? Is it me going? ”

"You kid is in a hurry, that Jinyi guard commands the sesame big official, how can I agree to let you go, let Ji Gang go, see that he is still quite clever."

Zhu Di smiled and said to him: "I Zhu Di will not treat you badly if I treat anyone badly, otherwise the princess will be the first to be unwilling." ”

On the second day, Zhu Di took the mighty people to worship in the filial piety tomb, and then ran to the room with the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, and sat alone for a long time before coming out.

The civil and military officials followed Li Jinglong and the king of the valley, and the king of Liao, they persuaded Zhu Di to ascend the throne.

Zhu Quan and Zhu Bai surrounded Cheng Yuan and said: "Zhu Lu and Zhu Zhi, two villains, they ran to Yingtian early when they were born and died, and then they ran to the fourth brother early and begged the fourth brother to inherit the unification." ”

Zhu Bai said: "In the past few days, those civil and military generals were very surprised to see me, and when I died, I would go to Beiping in a few days to pick up the princess and them." ”

Cheng Yuan knew that Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, was talking about the princess of Xiang, and Princess Yan and her sisters would come from Beiping Mansion in a few days.

Everyone kept persuading Zhu Di to ascend the throne.

I only heard Zhu Di say: "Although this king is brave but talented, he should not inherit the unification, but the first emperor has laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and I can't ignore it because of this."

Since you continue to persuade you, the king will not refuse. ”

Cheng Yuan hugged his arms and looked at Zhu Di.

Damn, Zhu Laosi can also act, and sure enough, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

The civil officials and military generals breathed a sigh of relief, and the attendants of the Ministry of Rites immediately invited Zhu Di into the palace to hold the enthronement ceremony.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also one of the traitors, and he has long been very concerned about Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru and they have been imprisoned together.

At this moment, a thin and capable civil official walked out, it was Yang Rong, the editor of Hanlin.

He cleared his throat and said, "Wait a minute. ”

Everyone became nervous again, for fear that Yang Rong would be the same as those imperial histories, but Yang Rong arched his hand to Zhu Di and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, I don't know if you have been to Xiaoling." ”

To ascend the throne directly is to take over Jianwen's position.

Worshipping Xiaoling and then ascending the throne is to take over the throne of the first emperor.

Zhu Di glanced at this Yang Rong and smiled a little happily: "Who are you?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the minister is edited by Han Lin, named Yang Rong, I would like to remind Your Highness." Yang Rongdao.

"The king has already been there."

Yang Rong nodded after hearing this, and said that he could ascend the throne at any time after going to Xiaoling.

When the officials heard this, they happily went to prepare.

Then Yang Rong said: "The edict used by His Royal Highness to ascend the throne cannot be taken lightly, and it is necessary to find a famous Confucian, which is in line with the majesty of the Son of Heaven." ”

Some people recommend Ru Chang, and some people recommend Xie Jin.

Ru Chang is indeed literary and was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning.

Seeing Zhu Di's hesitation, Cheng Yuan thought of Fang Xiaoru's refusal to draft an edict for Zhu Di in history, so he smiled and said: "I heard that Xie Jin is particularly literate.

When he was five years old, his father taught him poetry, he could remember it after listening to it, he could write articles when he was seven years old, he memorized a thousand-word article a day at the age of ten and never forgot it, and at the age of twelve, he read all the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". ”

Cheng Yuan remembered Xie Jin, this Xie Jin's waiter Dong Lun at the Ministry of Rites at that time was trusted by Zhu Yunwen, and after Xie Jin was sent to eat soil, Dong Lun said a lot of good things for Xie Jin in front of Zhu Yunwen.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately took Cheng Yuan's words and said with a smile: "This is indeed the case. ”

"Okay, then listen to Cheng Yuan, let him write the edict of this king, if he writes well, this king will appoint him as a Hanlin attendant." Zhu Di laughed and appointed Xie Jin to write an edict.

Xie Jin, they can all compile the Yongle Canon, and they can also write edicts badly, which is impossible.

All the officials were surprised, who was this young man, who could make King Yan so obedient, and they all took a closer look.

The civil officials had already become curious about Cheng Yuan, and Dong Lun felt that Xie Jin must know this young man, so he would inquire when the time came.

Dong Lun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Cheng Yuan, and he wanted to go back and talk about the matter recommended by this young man.

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, who said that it was Fang Xiaoru who drafted the edict, and now he had to replace it with Xie Jinlai, so as not to make Fang Hanhan spit fragrant and make people unhappy.

The candidate for drafting the edict has been decided, and Zhu Di's next thing is about rewarding meritorious deeds, and ordering Zhu Bai, who is good at writing, to write down everyone's names.
