Chapter Fifty-Six: Hundred Officials Congratulate the Emperor Taishang
Returning to the palace palace Wende Palace, once again accepted the worship and congratulations of the civil and military officials, and saw the people below kneeling and shouting at me to shout the emperor, at this moment I really experienced the feeling and excitement above the ten thousand people, no wonder the imperial power has always been the focus of the struggle, because all this is really too attractive. Looking at His Highness, I said: All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, and they are flat. I saw Cai Jing bow his head and bow his hand and said: Qi Huang Huang, because the emperor ascended the throne, according to the convention, it is customary to change the yuan first, and the lower official proposed to take the Sun Jing Quartet, Kang Yong Zhaomin's meaning, change the year name to Jingkang, please the emperor Shengju. When I heard it, my heart trembled slightly, hearing this familiar and unfamiliar era name, it represents a short and intense and tragic history, but for the shame of a snow Jingkang, I still absolutely use this Jingkang era name, in order to facilitate the moment to intense myself, spur myself, and reflect on myself.
Thinking of this, I nodded slightly and said: What Taishi Cai said must have been carefully considered, and I approve it is acceptable, I don't know what everyone Aiqing thinks? Everyone saw that it was Cai Jing who proposed it, and the emperor approved it, so what else was there to object, so they all leaned over and answered, so the first year of Jingkang was decided. According to the convention, the new year name is used from the first month, and now it is still necessary to use the Xuanhe year name of the old man Song Huizong until the end of the year, and the Jingkang year name will be officially launched on the first day of the new year of the next year. Seeing that he had been recognized, Cai Jing continued with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, since the new year name has been discussed and determined, the next step is to prepare to mint coins according to the new year name, including copper coins......
Hearing this, I interrupted Cai Jing and said: Today's other affairs are postponed, my father left Beijing for Hangzhou today, and I want to see him off in person, and all Aiqing will go with me to see off my father to express my gratitude for my father's love and grace over the years. Everyone agreed, and then I led everyone to the Funing Palace, and then a group of people out of the Wende Palace, behind the Wende Palace, and then through the colonnade, the other people were waiting outside, I led the Taishi Cai Jing, the Taiwei and the Privy Council Deputy Envoy Tong Guan, the ruling and the Privy Council envoy Cai Mao, the Prime Minister and the subordinate Lang Bai Shizhong, the ruling and Shangshu Right Chengyu Wencuizhong, the ruling and Shangshu Zuocheng Zhang Bangchang, the Prime Minister and the Zhongshu Lang Li Bangyan, the school inspector Liang Shicheng, the ruling and the imperial history of the Cheng Zhao Ye, the Prime Minister Wang Hao and other important ministers of the court went to the Funing Palace.
When I came to the Funing Palace, I saw the old man Song Huizong packing up the last pen and ink books, and I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw this scene, so I quickly walked forward and saluted the old man and said: The emperor asks his father to say goodbye. When the old man saw me and others coming, he smiled slightly: "The emperor wears this costume, and he looks like an emperor." After that, he instructed the people: You and others should assist the new king well from now on. Everyone saluted and said that there was no problem, and then I stepped forward to help the old man clean up his beloved things, and everyone came forward to help when they saw this, after all, they are usually very close to the old man, and they are very familiar with it in private, and they also know the old man's hobbies.
After a while, I saw Gao Yu come in to report: Emperor Qiqi, Emperor Taishang, the car has been prepared, and the queen and the concubines of the harem are also waiting in the car. I looked at the old man, waiting for his instructions, only to see the old man smile slightly, affectionately glanced at everything in the Funing Palace, and then resolutely said: Then set off. After speaking, he took the lead and walked outside the hall, and the attendant behind him carried out the packed items, and I followed the old man and walked out of the hall.
Came to Donghua Gate, only to see the car Luo endless parking the entire street, I followed the old man to the front of the car, to the queen and other concubines, then helped the old man to get on the car, and then came to their own jade Luo, and then the team slowly on the road, all the ministers also got into the car to follow behind, under the strict escort of the forbidden army, the convoy drove along the royal street to Hongqiao Wharf.
When I arrived at Hongqiao Wharf, I saw that the wharf had been emptied, and there were soldiers standing guard everywhere to maintain order. I followed the old man to the docked in front of the big ship to make a final farewell to Beijing, behind him were many court ministers, the chamberlains were carrying the whole box of goods on the car to the ship, and the concubines were accompanied by the maids on the boat one after another, the old man at this time thoughtfully clasped my hands and said: Emperor, this Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji will be handed over to you in the future, remember the instructions of the father, treat the subjects of the world well. I nodded with a serious face, and then the old man said: My father believes that the emperor can make the country and the people strong under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and my father is looking forward to the good news of the emperor in Hangzhou. The emperor will wait to go back. After speaking, he waved his hand to me and others, then turned around and boarded the boat in a chic manner, looking at the figure of the old man who resolutely left, at this moment my eyes couldn't help but moisten, although I didn't have much time to get along, but when I thought of this trust and trust, I was inevitably a little reluctant, don't look at the old man usually gets along with me less, but in private he is always paying attention to my words and deeds through Cai Jing and others, and at the same time supporting me silently behind the scenes. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Thinking of this, I waved at the old man, and as the fleet slowly moved, the figure of the old man standing at the bow of the boat became smaller and smaller, and then disappeared from view. I looked straight in the direction of the flotilla's departure, until Cai Jing whispered beside me: Emperor, Emperor. I came back to my senses, and replied to Cai Jing and others: I am really reluctant to give up on my father's chic departure, and at this time my heart feels empty, and I suddenly have a little less to rely on, hey.
Seeing that I was so reluctant, Cai Jing and others also felt a lot, so they persuaded me one after another. I retracted the feeling of loss just now, after all, I now have the hope of hundreds of millions of subjects behind me, and the heavy responsibility of making the people of the whole country happy, and I will be their reliance and hope from now on. In addition, I am quite tired today, and the affairs of the court will be discussed another day, and everyone Aiqing has worked hard today, so let's go back and rest. All the people saluted and received the commandment. I walked to the original road of Yuluo and returned to the East Palace Prince's Mansion.
At this time, I returned to the prince's mansion, firstly, to share the mood of the moment with the people in the mansion, and secondly, I was still not very familiar with the palace, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to adapt to it, so it was better to go back to the prince's mansion that I was familiar with first. As soon as the car arrived at the prince's mansion, he stepped out of the car and saw that the door of the mansion was heavily guarded, headed by the crown princess Zhu Lian, followed by Chunxiang, Xia Xiang, Qiu Xiang, Dongxiang and maids, followed by housekeeper Wang Jin, chief guard Zhang Heng, accountant Tian Zaian and others, daughter Princess Roujia and son Zhao Chen surrounded Zhu Lian, and the two little guys looked at me with straight eyes, after all, my dress and posture today are different from usual. Seeing my arrival, everyone knelt down and said: "The lower officials and others welcome the emperor back to his home!"
I smiled at them and said, "Everyone, please get up, come in and speak." After speaking, he walked straight to the inner house, came to the inner room and took off his dress under the service of the inner chamberlain and Sixiang, and put on the casual clothes in the mansion comfortably, and then came to the lobby, everyone bowed and saluted again, and after the salute, I said directly: You don't have to be polite, although my identity has changed today, but it is better for you to be natural in the mansion. Everyone replied in unison: Enlighten the emperor, the etiquette system cannot be abolished. After listening to the feeling, he smiled at the princess and said: The concubine has also been upgraded from today, and from now on, the mother will be the world, and I will call the Taishi Bureau to choose a good day and an auspicious day to hold a grand canonization ceremony for the concubine.
Zhu Lian suddenly said with a ruddy face and shame: "Concubine Xie Emperor." I was also in a good mood at this time, and seeing these familiar faces was tired today, and I instantly felt better. Thinking of the arrangements of these people, I said to them: I will sleep in the Prince's Mansion today, and I will stay in the Funing Hall tomorrow, and you are all close to my mansion. I will deal with it at my discretion.
The housekeeper Wang Jin first saluted and said: Your Majesty, the lower officials have been serving the mansion for many years, and they already have a deep affection for the mansion, and if they leave at this time, they are indeed reluctant, and the greatest hope of the lower officials is to stay in the mansion or if they are fortunate enough to scout the emperor and the prince. Hearing Steward Wang say this, I was also touched by the scene, and indeed the old man was more nostalgic, and it was rare for him to have this heart, so I replied: It is rare that Steward Wang is loyal, so continue to stay in the mansion, and in the future, Chen Er will seal the East Palace, and Steward Wang will continue to serve. Butler Wang Jin immediately knelt down and thanked him!
Then Zhang Heng, the chief of the guard, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials still want to serve the emperor and protect the emperor's safety by the emperor's side." I don't doubt Zhang Heng's loyalty, after all, he has followed me for so many years, and he has been doing his best to maintain the safety of the East Palace, in fact, his request is not too much, thinking of this, he said: Very good, then follow me into the inner house, follow my side, and continue to protect my safety. Zhang Heng, the chief of the guard, immediately thanked the emperor.
Sixiang said that he wanted to serve the crown princess, so I nodded, but the crown princess Zhu Lian wanted to speak and stopped, and then he would remember Tian Zai'an, but he stood silently and did not speak, I saw this and jokingly asked: Tian Huiji has any ideas, take the opportunity to propose to me, after today, there is no such opportunity. I saw Tian Huiji trembling and said: Thank you for the emperor's grace, the old slave has no other skills, so he will make an abacus, and he is old, and the old minister wants to return to his hometown as soon as possible, so as to enjoy the blessings and hope that the emperor will approve it.
Looking at the old and shrewd Tian Huiji, I also felt pity and immediately agreed: I approved Er's request, and the inner government gave Tian Huiji gold and silver to return to his hometown, and the head of the guard Zhang was responsible for sending people to escort him back to his hometown. I would like to thank you for your dedication to serving the government over the years. After listening to Tian Huiji, he knelt down in tears and thanked: The old slave thanks the emperor for his grace!
I smiled and said, "Wait for you, please get up." So far, everyone in the mansion has a place to go and a new position, which has met their requirements, and it is also their care for me since I crossed over, and it is also a kind of fate. Then he chatted with everyone, instructed the precautions, and walked to the inner room with the crown princess Zhu Lian......
