Chapter 164
On September 17, the 41st year of Tianyou, the crown prince Zhu Wucheng made a statement at the meeting of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he politely refused the request of the ministers on the grounds that the imperial father was still alive.
At that time, the second assistant Liu Wenbin led his ministers to the East Palace to invite Zhu Wucheng to ascend the throne, but Zhu Wucheng refused again.
When the news came, Shenjing was shaken, and for a while, the call for Zhu Wucheng to ascend the throne was loud, although some officials loyal to the emperor had opinions on this, but in the face of the strong appeal of many middle and low-level officials, they all remained silent, and in the wave after wave of appeals for the crown prince to ascend the throne, Zhu Wucheng politely refused for the third time at the end of his time.
In the afternoon, the ministers went to Cining Palace to invite the queen mother, and Zhu Wucheng finally relented and agreed to take on the Ming Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor.
On September 20, Zhu Wucheng knelt down to worship the Taimiao, officially ascended the throne in the Fengtian Temple, changed the year name to Yong'an, granted amnesty to the world, respected the Empress Dowager Zhang as the Empress Dowager, respected the Emperor Zhu Qinde as the Taishang Emperor, and still lived in the Qianqing Palace, recuperating with peace of mind.
At the same time, the crown princess Wang was canonized as the queen, the crown prince's side concubine Jia Yuanchun was the concubine, and the ten-year-old eldest son Zhu Daquan was appointed as the king of Fu, and his mother Zhao was the concubine.
On the day of his accession to the throne, Zhu Wucheng rewarded Feng Tang as the Marquis of Henan, and agreed to his request to expand the Henan Wei to 40,000.
The rest of the ministers all had their official positions unchanged, and only Liu Wenbin was crowned as the Taifu.
..........
With a "snap", a tea bowl from a blue and white official kiln smashed on the ground, and fragments were scattered.
Zhu Wucheng walked angrily back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
Lin Lei, the deputy general of the forbidden army standing on the side, said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go and call Zhao Ming?" ”
Zhu Wucheng was angry, and said angrily: "What did you call him to do?" There is an edict from the Emperor in their hands! ”
Liu Wenbin sighed, the reason why Zhu Wucheng let the Emperor Taishang still live in the Qianqing Palace was to show his filial piety to the outside world, and the other was that the Qianqing Palace also had a battalion of firecrackers from the Ruishi Battalion.
Speaking of which, this matter is also blamed on the Wen dialect, originally the Ruishi Battalion had already ordered to prepare to withdraw from the imperial city, but he took out a copy of Emperor Tianyou's edict, leaving a battalion of firecrackers to garrison the Qianqing Palace.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhu Wucheng: "Actually, it's okay to do this, so as to avoid Your Majesty's worries." ”
Zhu Wucheng's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze turned to Lin Lei, "You can just take care of your own people, and you don't interfere in other things." ”
"Yes."
Lin Lei's heart was relieved and he retreated.
Zhu Wucheng walked to the window and looked into the distance, as if to Liu Wenbin, and as if he was talking to himself: "I am the emperor..... It's better not to be ...... I can't help myself! ”
Han Jun walked in with a large folding box, walked behind Zhu Wucheng, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this is the folding paper presented by the Ministry of Rites." ”
Zhu Wucheng turned around, stared at the box and asked, "Are you involved in the impeachment of the loyal and obedient king?" ”
Han Jun nodded silently.
Zhu Wucheng smiled, "You're coming to collect debts so soon?" ”
Han Jun's heart was surging, and he was stunned, speechless for a while.....
...........
"Drive!"
"Drive! Drive! ”
Outside the Yongding Gate, an officer was wearing a burden with a military newspaper, leading a team of cavalry to gallop wildly, constantly whipping the war horse under the crotch, and galloping towards Shenjing.
The crisp sound of horses' hooves attracted the attention of the defenders and the common people, and the officer was seen waving a small flag in his hand and shouting and galloping over: "Six hundred miles urgent!" Six hundred miles expedited! ”
"Great victory! Great victory! Mobei victory, we won! ”
Hearing this, the forbidden army in front of the city gate frantically pushed away the crowd, and the officer roared loudly and galloped past the city gate.
Everyone was stunned, a big victory!?
"Mobei victory, our army has won a complete victory!"
This time, the defenders and the people under Yongding Gate are sure that they heard correctly, a great victory, and the imperial court won a big victory in the Mobei grassland!
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!
”
“.....”
With a "boom", the pot exploded under the Yongding door, followed by a shocking cheer.....
Half an hour later, the entire Kamito Kyoto got the news.
Mobei won a victory, the Ming army completely defeated the Warat people, and from then on, there was no threat to the north!
............
"No, three days is too little, at least seven days, and the standard of the banquet must be one level higher than the last time, so as to show that we attach importance to Niangniang, and also to avoid Niangniang losing face in the palace, at this time, we must not drag Niangniang down."
"That's right, Feng girl, Niangniang's business is the Jia family's business, this money should come out of the public school, don't be like last time, just pick and search, in the end, the overrun is still counted on the head of the second room, do you know, if this is passed out, it will be the mother's face."
"Old lady, Niangniang's status is different now, look, shouldn't the money sent to the palace every month also rise? And this money must also be taken out of the public account. ”
Mrs. Wang felt that she could do it again, she didn't take Wang Xifeng in her eyes at all, and she was obviously much tougher than before, and she dared to put forward conditions with Jia Mu.
Wang Xifeng was angry in his heart, and rolled his eyes angrily.
"What nonsense."
Jia Zheng said angrily: "What a big house, a second room, the old lady is still there!" ”
Mother Jia was not angry, but just glanced at Mrs. Wang deeply, and said: "Seven days is too ostentatious, just three days, or according to the standard of the last time, the money comes out of the public account." As for the money sent to the palace every month, well, five hundred taels is indeed a little less, so eight hundred taels, the extra three hundred taels, from me. ”
Mrs. Wang: "No! ”
Jia Mu glanced at her, "Then you come out." ”
Mrs. Wang's face stiffened with a smile, and she said in a flickering voice: "Niangniang is now one of the four concubines, living alone in a palace, and the number of people serving below has more than doubled, and eight hundred taels is not enough to send people, not to mention other expenses." In this matter, the mother must not be wronged, not to say that it will make people laugh, and those who don't know think that Rongguo Mansion has no money. ”
Wang Xifeng finally couldn't help but speak, "How much do you think is appropriate?" ”
"Two thousand taels a month."
"No way!"
Without waiting for Jia's mother to speak, Jia Zheng categorically vetoed, "It's too ostentatious, what will the queen mother and queen think?" ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, Mrs. Wang looked a little embarrassed, and said in a loud voice: "Our family can't be wrong if we have money." ”
Mother Jia frowned when she heard this, and said directly: "The second room will pay another two hundred taels every month, and the matter will be decided." ”
No matter how confident Mrs. Wang was, she didn't dare to say a "no" at this time, so she had to reply: "Listen to the old lady's orders." ”
Mother Jia glanced at her and said to Wang Xifeng: "These two hundred taels are directly deducted from the second room every month. ”
"Yes."
Wang Xifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she knew her aunt too well, but fortunately, Mother Jia directly blocked her back road.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and I saw Jia Lian walking in with a red face, and said directly: "Old lady, great joy, there is a military report from Mobei, the court has won a big victory, and the third brother is coming back!" ”
"Really?"
Mother Jia's body shook and stared at Jia Lian tightly.
Jia Lian nodded vigorously, "Shuntianfu has already started to post announcements!" ”
"Okay, okay."
When Jia Mu heard this, she trembled with excitement and said loudly.
Wang Xifeng was the first to react, stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the ancestors, congratulations to the ancestors." ”
The rest of the people stepped forward to congratulate him, and the mandarin duck and other maids knelt on the ground one after another, following him.
Jia Mu was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Reward, big reward." ”
After speaking, he said to Wang Xifeng: "Quick, set up a banquet and celebrate!" ”
