Chapter 6: The Outbreak of the Young Son of Heaven
"The mausoleum of Emperor Daxing should naturally be selected in Changping, and it should be built quickly so that Emperor Daxing will not be covered with dust."
"And what about the scale?"
"Find the location first, set the ......"
In the Wenhua Palace, everyone was thinking of ways for Zhu Changluo's mausoleum.
It can be said that the current Zhu Changluo is a little embarrassed.
When people died, there were no tombs, not even coffins and all kinds of things for burial.
After all, the emperor's mausoleum is generally built from the beginning of the enthronement to choose the location, determine the acupuncture points, and then start to build.
Unless the emperor is particularly young, such as Zhu Youzhen's grandfather Emperor Wanli, because he was young, he delayed until the twelfth year of Wanli to build.
However, Wanli was willing to pay for his mausoleum, which took eight years and consumed eight million taels of silver.
Compared with Wanli and Zhu Changluo, it is more embarrassing.
He had only been on the throne for a month, and he had not even chosen the location of the mausoleum, so he died first.
At present, in order to help him bury him and prevent his body from rotting and stinking, it can be said that it is difficult for all the ministers.
As the first assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe may have received the credit for welcoming the emperor because of Zhu Youzhen's help, so he said confidently:
"Emperor Daxing's mausoleum, why don't you ask what you think?"
After a long time in the Heavenly Dynasty, all the ministers reacted, and the new emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair.
For a while, everyone was embarrassed, after all, they were used to the fact that no one on the dragon chair had been used to it for decades, so they made a series of pleas:
"Minister, faux pas...... Long live the forgiveness of your sins......"
In addition to the three major dynasties of the Ming Dynasty who need to be called "Emperor and Your Majesty" every year, the Chang Dynasty at other times mostly calls the emperor "Long live".
In the same way, the emperor's self-title also has an occasion, during the three major dynasties, the emperor must call himself "I", and the ordinary Chang Dynasty can call himself "I" and "I".
As for privately, most of the time it is "I" and "I" who refer to themselves.
Similar to Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, they are more casual, often referring to themselves as "I", and appear in the holy decree, which is very rare.
With such a variety of ceremonial titles, for Zhu Youxiao, who has not yet adapted to his title from grandson to prince, he has to start adapting to changing from prince to long live, which is really difficult for him.
Facing the appearance of the ministers, he had a headache for a while, so he could only signal to the hundred officials to calm down first, and then began to rack his brains to think about it.
Looking at the appearance of his imperial brother, Zhu Youzhen also knew that he hadn't thought about this problem, so he could only squeeze his eyebrows to attract attention, and finally reminded silently: "Emperor Jing"
"Ahem! What do you think, brother? Zhu Youxiao didn't understand, so he could only cough and push the problem to Zhu Youzhen.
For a while, Zhu Youzhen was about to scold his mother in his heart, and the hundred officials were simply stunned, but he didn't expect the questions to be asked back and forth, and finally asked a ten-year-old Huangkou child.
"It's numb......" was powerless to complain in his heart, Zhu Youzhen could only make a slight commotion to his good imperial brother, and then replied:
"Long live, it's summer right now, if the time drags on for a long time, it will inevitably make the imperial examination dusty."
"According to what the younger brother has seen, it is better to renovate the mausoleum that Emperor Jing once repaired, so that the emperor can be buried as soon as possible."
As soon as Zhu Youzhen spoke, the eyes of the Wenchen below suddenly lit up.
The ministers recalled that Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu had built a mausoleum for six years. (The Ming Dynasty Sect was posthumously honored by the Southern Ming Dynasty)
This mausoleum was originally built by Zhu Qiyu for himself, but after the change of not wanting to seize the door, Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong buried him in Xishan and did not bury him in the original mausoleum.
Therefore, at present, there is a ready-made mausoleum in Changping that can be used.
More than 160 years have passed, but with a little tidying up and finishing touches, it is possible to complete the project.
Thinking of this, Fang Congzhe stood up first and said: "Long live, Your Highness is right, why don't you bury Emperor Daxing in the mausoleum left by Emperor Jing?" ”
"Good!" Hearing that his younger brother's opinion was recognized by the ministers, Zhu Youxiao, who had not experienced much political struggle, was just happy.
However, at this time, Zhu Youzhen also stood up and said to Zhu Youxiao:
"Long live, why don't you let your younger brother lead the warrior camp of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang Four Guards, and build the Imperial Tomb for the Imperial Governor?"
is different from just now, if Zhu Youzhen's opening just now made the officials feel that he is a virtuous prince, then the attitude of the hundred officials towards Zhu Youzhen has changed.
"Hooray! This is not possible! ”
The first to speak was a military officer, who was about fifty years old, thin and pale, and his tone was non-negotiable, and he was very tough.
His opening made it difficult for Zhu Youxiao, who was already ready to agree.
He didn't want to refute his brother's request, after all, this was the first time that Zhu Youzhen had put forward ideas to him since he had taken care of Zhu Youzhen for ten years.
"Yang gives the matter, and you tell me why you can't."
At this time, Fang Congzhe took the initiative to block and dismantle Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen also knew who this person was.
Yang Lian, one of the six gentlemen of Donglin.
Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that he would be the first to oppose him, but if you think about his personality carefully, it's normal.
"Long live, Your Highness is only ten years old, and the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison and the warrior battalion add up to nearly 30,000 people, how can they be handed over to Your Highness? If it is given easily, there will be a ...... of ruin"
"Yang is serious about the matter......"
Yang Lian's voice was rumbling and his tone was tough, as if Zhu Youzhen had done something traitorous, but fortunately, an old minister next to Fang Congzhe started a round.
It's just that he never thought that in the face of this old minister's round, Yang Lian continued to say strongly:
"Does Liu Gechen also think that it is a simple matter for 30,000 troops to be handed over to a child?!"
"Yang Lian, ...... you" The minister who opened his mouth was angry, and scolded Yang Lian in his heart for not knowing what to do.
In fact, not only him, but most of the people in the temple thought so.
The warrior battalion and the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison are said to have 30,000 people on the surface, but in fact there may not even be 20,000 people.
This group of people and horses originally belonged to the 24 yamen of the inner court, and they were under the jurisdiction of the imperial horse supervisor, and they were not good at training, they were all old and weak, and if they really fought, they might not be able to beat the 30,000 people who were transported.
Besides, repairing the Emperor's Mausoleum is a matter for the old Zhu family, what are you fooling around.
"Long live, don't easily transfer the army to His Royal Highness to command, don't you forget Emperor Wen back then......"
"Enough is enough!!"
Yang Lian is still self-righteous, but Zhu Youxiao, who doesn't want to fish all the time, can't listen to it.
He was a young man, proud of his heart, although he had just sat in the position of the emperor and was not very adaptable, but he couldn't bear it anymore when Yang Lian said this.
Of course, he is not a political idiot, on the contrary, he understands very well that Zhu Youzhen will not rebel.
First of all, in terms of age, Zhu Youzhen is not more than ten years old, secondly, he is not the eldest son, and in the end, the imperial horse supervisor is just the emperor's domestic slave, and it is impossible to rebel with Zhu Youzhen.
In his opinion, his younger brother just saw his brother sitting on the throne and asked for an errand.
In this way, he was angrily scolded by Yang Lian, and moved Ming Chengzu Zhu Di out, making it clear that his younger brother was going to rebel.
Zhu Youxiao just has a psychological shadow with Concubine Li Kang, so he is cowardly, but he is not cowardly to everyone, otherwise Wanli would not have made him the emperor's grandson.
His outburst made all the officials stunned, and they understood that the little emperor in front of him was not a good-looking existence, which was obviously different from Wanli's passivity and Zhu Changluo's superficial Confucianism.
