Chapter 204: Changing the Yuan
The ancient emperors ascended the throne are nothing to see, because usually at this time the first emperor has just gone, and the heir emperor will not organize his enthronement ceremony with great fanfare in order to show filial piety.
At this time, the cabinet must support all affairs, and the first thing in this is to determine the name.
Zhu Houzhao's body was paralyzed, and Liu Jian couldn't take care of it so much, so he helped him left and right to sit down on the main dragon chair that Emperor Hongzhi could usually sit on, and made a color to each other, and knelt down with a touch of robes.
"We're looking at the emperor!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao still didn't move, Liu Jian said again: "A month ago, Empress Xiaosuzhen passed away, and now the first emperor is controlling Bintian, and it is less than a month before and after. The minister knew that His Majesty was very sad, but at this time, people's hearts were fluctuating, and the country could not be as without a king, and His Majesty should put state affairs first and strive to ascend the throne. Only when this name is decided, will the Quartet Xiaoxiao not dare to take risks."
Zhu Houzhao sniffed, "Elder Liu Ge listens."
"Wechen takes the order."
"The most important thing now is the funeral of the emperor, and I order you to lead the cabinet, together with the six departments and the chief officials of the nine secretaries, to form a temporary funeral special team to be responsible for the funeral of the emperor."
What is the funeral class, they have heard of it for the first time, but the new emperor is sad, and it is the first time that he has issued an order, no matter what, different opinions cannot be said at this time.
"Wechen obeys."
"Xiao Jing." Zhu Houzhao called the old eunuch again.
"The slave is here."
"You are still waiting for the Emperor's Mourning Hall, pay attention to restraining the eunuchs and palace maids, and no one is allowed to disturb your father at this time! Otherwise, you will not be spared!"
"Zhang Yong!"
"The slave is here!" This guy has been following them all the time.
"Order you to lead Tengxiang Left Guard, Yulin Left Guard, and Right Guard to maintain law and order in Beijing, and ensure that during the national funeral, all parties at the feet of the Son of Heaven are stable.
"Yes!"
Zhu Houzhao got up from his seat, "What Liu Ge Lao said just now is right, the imperial court has lost the first empress dowager and the first emperor in a month, and under the adverse events, maybe some people will have bad intentions, thinking that the imperial court is empty at the moment!" Now I want to tell them that the Forbidden City, the Zhu family, and me!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
While he was talking, the other chief officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Qing also arrived, after all, the Six Ministries were built on the edge of the imperial city.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Liu Jian said, "Anyway, the heads of the various ministries are also here, whether the Weichen and the others will first agree on the temple name of the former emperor and the year name of His Majesty."
It is also a very important matter to give the deceased emperor a temple number.
"My era name......" Zhu Houzhao was not polite to them, "Just use the word 'Zhengde,' "Shu Da Yu Mo": "Zhengde, utilization, health, and harmony." Kong Yingda Shu: "Those who are virtuous are self-righteous, and those who are in the top position are governing the people by themselves. I want to take the meaning of 'ruling the people by yourself.'"
Generally speaking, this is a cabinet of several academics. But the new emperor himself surveyed the era name, and he can't say that it can't be done. Besides, there's nothing wrong with the name.
There is nothing wrong with it, but Xie Qian reminded at this time, "Your Majesty, the year name of Zhengde has been used by Li Qianshun of Chongzong of Western Xia." ….
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, how did he know this?
In the history of the whole thing, this name was also made up by your people.
"Can't I use it?"
"Of course it works."
"Of course, you can use it, and next year will be changed to the first year of Zhengde. Hurry up and propose a temple number for Emperor Daxing. I'm going to see the Queen Mother."
Empress Zhang,
is now Zhu Houzhao's only relative.
The replacement of the old and new emperors is a transfer of power and a change in the situation in the eyes of men. Women are accessories in this era, even if they are queens, her mood does not seem to be.
When Zhu Houzhao saw her, the two of them were like each other's life-saving straws, and they hugged each other without saying anything, obviously each was sad, but they had to comfort each other
Body.
Empress Zhang now has such a son left, she held her son's cheek, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, "Zhao'er must be strong, and in the future, thousands of subjects in the world will point to you." If there is any grievance, go to the queen mother, and the queen mother will listen to you."
Emperor Hongzhi is not in good health, but Empress Zhang's health is still okay, and she has to live for a few more decades.
"How are you, Queen Mother?"
When she asked this, Empress Zhang's tears also fell down, wiped her nose with her hand and said, "The queen mother has nothing else, she just misses your father......
Zhu Houzhao looked a little dazed, he still remembered that in this Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was sitting here with them laughing.
Shaking his head, he threw these emotions out, and hugged Empress Zhang again, "In the future, I will serve the queen mother."
"Emperor, Yanling and Heling each had a daughter back then, and the queen mother wanted to take them into the palace."
"Okay, this matter, my son will let Chen Rong of the celebrant handle it."
……
At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't have much time to talk about his feelings here, there were too many people looking for him, even Shangyi Jian had to find him. Because the figures of the new emperor and the old emperor are different, the dragon robes they wear are naturally different. And this thing can't be customized in advance.
So now it is necessary for Zhu Houzhao to spare some time and measure his figure.
In addition, you have to move......
But Zhu Houzhao felt that he couldn't sleep in another place, so he ordered him not to do it for the time being.
Fengtian Temple.
The cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries finally discussed, the temple number of the Daxing Emperor is Xiaozong, and the name is Jiantianming, Daocheng, Chunzhongzheng, Shengwen, Shenwu, Zhiren, and the Great Dejing Emperor.
The emperor had no objection to this and carried it out as permitted.
In addition, at this time, it is generally necessary to pardon prisoners, so that the people of the world can feel the kindness of the new emperor, and Zhu Houzhao has no idea about this kind of routine operation.
After such a busy time, the sun has set.
When it was time to eat in the evening, Zhu Houzhao noticed that Liu Jin, who was waiting on the side, was out of breath but full of energy, and he didn't dare to laugh when he laughed, but he was obviously more motivated than usual.
Once the son of heaven is a courtier, the foreign minister is not obvious, but the inner minister is too obvious.
Xiao Jing, a popular man beside the emperor in the past, can only be in the mourning hall now, and he can't go anywhere.
"Liu Jin."
"The slave is here."
"From today on, you go to the celebrant to get an errand, start with the eunuch Bingbi, the rules of the East Palace in the past are the rules in the harem." ….
Liu Jin thought about this sentence day and night, and really heard that he only felt that his whole portrait was thrown into the sky, and fell down for no reason, he gasped and trembled and thanked him, "Slave and maid thank the emperor for his holy grace!"
"Don't call the emperor in the future, I don't like to hear it. Call the emperor."
"Yes! Slaves and maids thank the emperor for his grace!"
"Emperor Daxing's coffin is still there, don't make any noise in the palace, it's the time of the state funeral."
Liu Jin nodded, "Whatever the emperor tells the slave to do, the slave and maid will do."
"Are you really so obedient?" Zhu Houzhao leaned down and whispered, "Today is a special time, I'm afraid you will forget what I said to you before, I'll tell you again."
"Slaves and maids bow down to the hadith."
Speaking of which, he is also fifty years old, and he has been cautious for half his life, and he doesn't know what to do when he sees that he is going to get out. Zhu Houzhao also wants to remind him.
"I'm only fifteen years old in the New Year, and I'm still a child in a folk family, even if I'm too young. But don't think I'm a child, if you don't hide it from me, the sin will always be lighter, no matter how small the matter is, if you hide it from me, the Daluo Immortal can't save you."
Liu Jin's body shook, "The slave understands. Even if the slave and maid have ten dares, they will not dare to deceive the emperor."
"You're smart, you can't make me angry easily, that's your job. If you can do things honestly and be honest, I will ensure that you are rich and noble in the palace
Long in. In addition, this year's Qingming, remember to burn some paper money for Wei Bin, this is his first year."
The words of the Emperor are like a basin of water poured on his head,
These people, who were oppressed in the past, thought that one day they would oppress others.
But they are serving such a Lord.
In the next few days, all the early dynasties were canceled, and Zhu Houzhao wanted to lead hundreds of civil and military officials to pay tribute to the first emperor until the coffin of Emperor Hongzhi was sent to Tailing.
Ten days later, the emperor held an enthronement ceremony and announced the change of Yuan Zhengde. First of all, it is to worship heaven and earth and the temple, and then wear a gown to accept the worship of civil and military officials in the Fengtian Temple, hold the jade seal in your hand, and sit on the dragon chair.
In this way, the Ming Dynasty ushered in its new emperor.
Because the funerals were held twice, it was now February, but the government of Hongzhi in the eighteenth year had not been done properly. Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand such a mess, he stood in the palace like that.
Liu Jin immediately stepped forward, "The emperor has an order!"
"Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Han Wen of the Ministry of Households, Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Zeng Jian, and the cabinet, Dali Temple listens to the order."
"Wait for the order!"
"Since the beginning of the first month, the imperial court has suffered two adverse events in a row, and there have been many delays in the government affairs, and from now on, the officials of the various ministries and halls will return to the government, carefully sort out the affairs of the ministry, and deal with the accumulated government affairs for more than a month, and after seven days, I will listen to the reports one by one."
"Yes!"
The new emperor did not like the early dynasty, preferring the officials who were in charge of a certain affairs after the early dynasty to report to him, and now the emperor also had a chamberlain.
It's in the Qianqing Palace.
In the past, Emperor Xiaozong was used to live in the east, and Zhu Houzhao ordered him to live in the west.
On weekdays, summoning officials to one room, eating one room, and sleeping one room is not too redundant.
The room where the officials were summoned was naturally on the outermost, and when they entered the Qianqing Palace and turned to the west, it was the attendant room, and many things in it had been removed, and now it was a big table and a small table, and then it was the place where Zhu Houzhao summoned the officials, and there was a small door in this place, and it was a place to eat and sleep when it turned in and went deep.
The new emperor also ordered that if there were too many officials who came to visit him for government affairs, they should first go to the chamberlain to make a record and queue up.
The emperor himself could see from above who else he was going to see today. So there is something to say, fast in and out,
In early February, less than five days after the new emperor ascended the throne, it was the busiest time, when suddenly a group of fast horses entered the city and went straight to the imperial city, and the man shouted:
"Northwest Military News!"
The eunuch didn't dare to delay, so he took the things and ran inside, shouting as he ran: The Northwest Army reports!!
At this time, in the palace, the cabinet had just seen the new emperor, and they didn't bother to go back when they heard a eunuch shouting like this.
Li Dongyang was also a little depressed under his busy days, "The emperor has just abandoned the world, and now the situation is not stable, and the border is smoking, and state affairs are ...... It's so difficult......
The faces of the three of them are not relaxed, many people are still looking at how the saint is going to be the emperor today, and now there is a military report as soon as he ascends the throne, once this is mishandled, the consequences are unimaginable!.
