Chapter 4 Three Emperors in a Year
Yao Zongwen, this person was originally in charge of the household department, but he left his post and returned to his hometown due to mourning.
After returning to the dynasty, he wanted to become an official, so he slapped his beard all the way and was able to sit in the position in the matter.
In August of this year, when Zhu Youzhen's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, had just died, Nurhachi attacked Puhesuo in Shenyang.
Due to the disparity in strength, more than 700 people were scattered in the Ming army of Puhe, but He Shixian and other generals also had the merit of beheading and capturing the enemy.
It stands to reason that this battle is not a fault, after all, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two engines, and it is normal for Puhe to be defeated, and He Shixian can capture the head of Houjin, and the captured soldiers are already good.
However, Yao Zongwen slandered Xiong Tingbi in the court because Xiong Tingbi did not recommend him as an official, and then framed Xiong Tingbi for not training soldiers and horses and embezzling military salaries, which led to the dismissal of Xiong Tingbi by the imperial court, and Nurhachi took advantage of the situation and directly captured the Liaodong Peninsula, allowing the Ming Dynasty to retreat to the Guangning area west of the Liao River.
To sum up, this guy is a guy who slipped into position by slapping his beard, and then framed others at will by virtue of his grudge.
After Zhu Youzhen knew what he had done, he naturally didn't have a good face for him.
However, he didn't put his face on his face, just interrupted Yao Zongwen's words, and whispered to Zhu Youxiao:
"The state affairs are difficult, at this time, the etiquette system can be put behind you a little, and the royal brother should succeed to the throne early and preside over the funeral of the imperial examination."
As soon as Zhu Youzhen spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Only then did they notice that it was Zhu Youzhen who brought Zhu Youxiao out of the Qianqing Palace, and also arranged for the Jinyi guards to escort him.
Zhu Youzhen is only ten years old, and he can have such maturity and stability, many civil officials secretly nodded, but they secretly regretted it.
They only sighed that Zhu Youzhen was not the eldest son and could not inherit the imperial lineage.
However, this kind of thought can only be hidden in the bottom of the heart, but cannot be said directly.
"Well, my brother is right."
Zhu Youxiao is now very dependent on Zhu Youzhen, although it feels a little strange, but what Zhu Youzhen did just now gave him a lot of security.
"Lu Wenzhao, you will escort the imperial brother and all the ministers to the Wenhua Palace, and order 30,000 bells to be sounded in the Taoist temples in Beijing!"
"Yes!" Lu Wenzhao didn't care about Zhu Youzhen's second time saying this, because when he said it just now, all the civil officials were not there, and it couldn't show Zhu Youzhen's calmness.
Again, for now, it's just for the sake of making a show for the civilian officials.
Seeing Lu Wenzhao's response, Zhu Youzhen also commented on Zhu Youxiao's fork:
"The imperial brother is tired, and the courtier's brother has returned to the Qin Palace first."
"Wait!" Zhu Youxiao grabbed Zhu Youzhen's hand, and a kind smile appeared on his delicate and immature face:
"My brother is with me."
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether Zhu Youzhen was willing or not, grabbed Zhu Youzhen's wrist, and walked towards the Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Youzhen himself was also stunned, because it stands to reason that at his age, he would definitely not participate in such a major event of the country.
However, under the pull of Zhu Youxiao, although Zhu Youzhen's strength was several times that of ordinary peers because of his rebirth, he could only be dragged in front of his brother, who was good at carpenter work and exercised in disguise.
In other words, he actually wanted to go to the Wenhua Hall and witness history with his own eyes.
Lu Wenzhao watched the actions of Zhu Youxiao's two brothers, and hurriedly took Jinyiwei to follow, while Fang Congzhe and other Wenchen were staring at each other, but they didn't dare to offend Zhu Youxiao at such a time.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, there were many things where the vassal king witnessed the succession of the crown prince, and even the vassal king supervised the country.
For example, Emperor Wanli, the grandfather of Zhu Youxiao's two brothers, every time he left the palace, he handed over the court to his younger brother King Lu, and King Lu supervised the country.
Now that Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth, their group of veterans who had no meritorious service naturally did not dare to stop it.
At present, the most important thing is to let Zhu Youxiao succeed to the throne quickly, and then announce Zhu Changluo's death to the world, and then preside over Zhu Youxiao's enthronement.
Pity a group of old ministers, they ran over in a hurry, and before they could take a few breaths, they were about to continue to follow Zhu Youxiao and them towards the Wenhua Palace.
Along the way, they passed through the ruins of the three major halls, and after passing through the gate of the Wenlou, they finally came to the Wenhua Palace, an important place that decided the major events of the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years......
Wenhua Palace, which was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, is located in the east of the Outer Dynasty Wumen, and the Wuying Palace is far away from the east and west.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Wenhua Hall was the place where the crown prince watched the government, but because the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was young and young since Zhu Biao, it was later changed to the emperor's palace.
In the Yongle period, the cabinet and the six books often stayed here, and in the Chenghua period, the cabinet scholars came here almost every day to work.
Zhu Youzhen was dragged into the Wenhua Hall by Zhu Youxiao, and then saw hundreds of ministers who were huddled here, waiting for news.
"Long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Hooray......"
But when they saw Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao entering the hall, all the ministers immediately pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and they didn't care that Zhu Youxiao had not yet sat on the chair, so they shouted long live.
"Flat"
After all, he is the grandson of the emperor who was personally elected by Emperor Wanli, although Zhu Youxiao loves carpentry, his personality is also a little stubborn, and he is even more timid to Concubine Li Kang......
But at this moment, he assumed the posture of a superior, raised his hand generously, and motioned for the hundred officials to get up.
He dragged Zhu Youzhen and prepared to walk towards the imperial case, and wanted Zhu Youzhen to stand next to the imperial case.
His move frightened Zhu Youzhen a lot, and he hurriedly reminded in a whisper:
"The royal brother can't, and it's enough for the younger brother to listen below."
"How can there be so many rules? Brother, come here! ”
Zhu Youxiao had a tough personality at this time, so in front of hundreds of officials and ministers, he dragged Zhu Youzhen to the side of the imperial case, and then sat with Zhu Youzhen in the imperial case of the Wenhua Palace, looking down on the hundred officials.
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live the ......" The first to react was Fang Congzhe, who took the lead in singing, and after the hundred officials reacted, they also followed closely and sang loudly.
For a while, the sound of the mountain calling long live came from the Wenhua Hall and kept echoing in the square in front of the Wenhua Palace.
At this moment, all the temples and Taoist temples in the capital, as well as the bell tower of the imperial court, all rang the bell.
The bell was a little messy at first, but it slowly became uniform, and the bell struck dozens of times in a row, and all the princes, courtiers, merchants, and common people who were resting at home couldn't help but feel a sense of horror in their hearts.
The emperor died, striking the bell 30,000 times......
This kind of thing can be experienced by ordinary people once in a lifetime, and the millions of ordinary people in the capital have already experienced it once a month ago.
Now again? Isn't it......
Everyone's mood sank, but it was not because of Zhu Changluo's death, but because the funeral that had just ended was going to happen again!
