Chapter 10, time, life!
Gu Dayong was walking around the guest room in the southern part of the palace at the moment, fidgeting.
Jiang Bin is finished.
When the border army was originally selected to enter the Beijing drill regiment and camp, Jiang Bin was the commander of the army, and he Gu Dayong was the eunuch who supervised the army.
Yang Ting sharpened his knife with them, and kept Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, Wei Bin and others for the time being, just for the heart of the Empress Dowager An.
But after the new emperor ascends the throne, this butcher's knife will fall at any time. The new emperor wants to use new people, and Yang Ting and them want to take advantage of the time difference between the new people who can't quickly control the old power of the ministers, so that the power of the ministers will further expand.
Gu Dayong actually didn't care about these things anymore, and now he just wanted to save his life.
In the transport hall, Xie Changjie looked loyal: "Your Highness, you can't see it!" Now His Royal Highness is still the status of the vassal king, if he sees Gu Dayong, it will be a big mistake! ”
"Xie Changshi's words are polite." Zhu Houxi seemed to accept the advice, but in fact, he didn't plan to see him, but said to him with a smile, "But after all, Gonggong Gu is here to welcome me to Beijing and succeed to the throne, and it is very hard to travel all the way." Although I don't see it, the palace can't lose its courtesy, so I will be entertained by Xie Changshi, and ask Gonggong Gu to rest for one night. ”
Xie Changjie was overjoyed and took the order.
After he left, Zhou Zhao looked at Zhu Houxi a little strangely: "Gu Dayong must have asked for something before he boldly came to meet him in private, and His Royal Highness asked Xie Changshi to be responsible for entertaining him...... That's still communication inside and outside the palace. ”
"Boom away?" Zhu Houxi didn't care, "It's enough that I didn't see him." ”
Zhou Zhao actually thinks that Xie Changjie is afraid that he will accept the gift of Gu Da, right? Are you playing a trick on Xie Changjie?
When the time comes, someone really said that the palace left Gu Dayong to talk about things and throw Xie Changjie out, this person has always been disliked and distrusted by Zhu Houyi, where can he talk about what he discussed with Gu Dayong on behalf of Zhu Houyi?
The center of the Fengying Regiment was preparing for tomorrow's reading of the edict, and the news that Gu Dayong had stayed in the palace was transmitted back to the post house.
Mao Cheng, who got the news, immediately went to visit Prince Liang: "Your Highness really saw Gu Dayong!" ”
Murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Good Gu Dause!" What a restless royal official! ”
I'm afraid that there is one more sentence, but it is inconvenient to say: what a restless heir......
Liang Chu waved his hand calmly: "Since he has gone, it is nothing more than one more culpability, what is Xianqing anxious about?" It's not too early, so let's rest early. ”
"Ge Lao, in case Gu Da uses to play with right and wrong......"
"What's wrong with that?" Prince Liang didn't care, "It's just that there are few people available for the heir, and he wants to show his loyalty in advance." Even if His Highness is deceived for a while, he will stay away from the villain when he sees them full of crimes. ”
The dissatisfaction with Gu Dayong in the hearts of the two added another touch, and Xie Changjie, who had entertained Gu Dayong at the moment, had just sent Gu Dayong back to the guest room.
"Grandpa Gu, I know what you want to do here, but you really shouldn't come, and Your Highness can't see you." Xie Changjie saw that the powerful eunuch nodded a little in front of him, and said proudly in the fluttering air brought by some drunkenness, "I have been in the palace for many years, and I know that His Royal Highness is lenient. Now His Highness needs people, people who are both loyal and able to do things! ”
"Xie Gong is right!"
Gu Da used his past strength to only stare at the real bigwigs in the capital, where did he know so much about the palace?
Now that Zhu Houxi is about to succeed to the throne, Xie Changjie is respected among the officials of the palace, and in Gu Dayong's opinion, he will enter the cabinet sooner or later.
Without hesitation, he took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it over: "Xie Gong is grateful, and please smile if you are a little careful." Our ministers are only the emperor's head, and Xie Gong is a dragon hero, and he needs to be more intimate in the future. ”
"Grandpa Gu? How does this work? Xie Changjie looked upright, "Father-in-law Gu can't help but underestimate me!" ”
Gu Dayong nodded humbly: "Xie Gong must not refuse!" Duke Xie has also been away from Beijing for many years, and the situation in the DPRK and China, and the merits and demerits of some important ministers, those children under our command have paid attention to it. The palace is a widow, and the Duke of Xie shoulders the heavy responsibility of standing firm for the ministers of the palace, and there is a lot of money after entering Beijing, which is also our duty to serve His Royal Highness together! ”
Xie Changjie understood as soon as he heard it.
If you want to go up, someone has to move the nest. The people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang don't know how much black material from important ministers they have in their hands. To impeach them, it is most appropriate for Wenchen to intervene.
In addition, when he arrived in the capital, he Xie Changjie was the head of the royal government's subordinate officials, and it took money to subdue the hearts of the people and form their own faction.
He laughed: "Father-in-law Gu has thought thoroughly, and I will show His Highness this loyalty." ”
"Don't shirk your resignation! It's all for the master! ”
This time, after Gu Dayong handed it over again, Xie Changjie smiled and accepted it, and then asked him to rest in peace.
After returning to his room, he opened it and took a look, Xie Changjie was even happier.
10,000 taels of silver, and there are also three shops in the capital, one large and one small.
Thinking of the days after the edict was read tomorrow, Xie Changjie looked forward to it, and only felt that a better day was beckoning to him.
When he saw Yang Tinghe again, even he had to have another respect for himself, right?
Time is also fate!
……
Outside the Chongming Gate of the palace, Zhu Houxi stood at the forefront, and Xie Changjie and other subordinate officials of the palace stood behind him.
Early in the morning, the yacha transferred from Anlu Prefecture and Wuchang Mansion cleared the road. Now all the way from Anlu Post House to Xingwangfu is guarded.
According to the rules, Zhu Houxi had to go outside the palace to greet the edict.
Near noon, the honor guard of the Fengying regiment finally arrived.
Liang Chu and the others had already gone down to the ground several miles away and walked over together.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Liang Chu and the others looked at Zhu Houxi, who had already taken off his sackcloth and was very angry, and the first feeling was his calmness.
The eyes are not the kind of frightening that young people inevitably wander, but they are looking at everyone with a very purposeful purpose.
That feeling is scrutiny.
Zhu Houxi is indeed looking at these big shots.
Grandpa Guo, Pavilion Elder, and a book of books...... The crowns and uniforms worn by these people are extremely dazzling in Huguang, and now Huguang's political envoys, governors and other officials can only accompany them in the rear.
Zhu Houxi was very vigilant in his heart, Liang Chu and the others were indeed very aura, far from being comparable to the frivolous Xie Changjie and others in the palace in the past.
Now that Liang Chu and their eyes are focused on Zhu Houxi, he feels that these people are also observing him.
But Zhu Houxi only cared about what the edict said.
According to the rules, Zhu Houxi is already a prince and is above everyone, not to mention the identity of the heir?
After Liang Chu and the others walked quickly, they first met Zhu Houxi.
After a polite look at the door, Zhu Houxi responded in accordance with Zhou Zhaojiao.
Liang Chu and the others felt Zhu Houxi's calmness even more, not like a teenager who was only fifteen years old.
This calm kung fu is not comparable to ordinary people.
Although the edict was not officially announced, with such a large formation and the news that had been circulated before, could he not know that it was the throne that was waiting for him?
O throne! There was no surprise in his eyes!
Soon after, so many people arrived at the Carrier Temple.
In the seven-bay hall, the local officials of Huguang and the officials of the royal palace stood full.
After Zhu Houxi sat down on the throne of His Majesty Bai Yudan and accepted a formal visit from everyone, Xu Guangzuo, who was in charge of announcing the edict, took out the edict, held it high and said solemnly: "Emperor Daxing's edict!" ”
Zhu Houxi stood up again, walked to the north and knelt under His Majesty.
Xu Guangzuo opened the edict with both hands and read it word by word:
[I am thin, and I inherit the industry of my ancestors, and I have seven years out of ten. Although the governance is diligent, the chemical theory is not negotiated. Deeply entrusted by the first emperor, now he is dying, and he is thriving. The common sense of life and death is inevitable for ancient and modern people. However, in succession, the people of the clan and society depend. Although I have abandoned the world, I will also regret it?
[The emperor's filial piety is respectful to the emperor's own brother, Xingxian Wang's eldest son, Houxi, intelligent, benevolent and filial, virtuous and virtuous, and the order should be established. In accordance with the text of the ancestral training brother and the last brother, he told the Zongmiao, and asked the Empress Dowager Yu Cishou to conspire with the civil and military ministers inside and outside the country, and sent officials to welcome him to Beijing on the same day, and succeeded to the throne of the emperor. 】
[Internal and external civil and military ministers, their co-operation and assistantship, all affairs, according to the old system of the ancestors, with the deputy to the will. On the day when the heir has not arrived in Beijing, whenever there is a major emergency, the yamen will temporarily inform the empress dowager ......]
As soon as he finished reading, the first thing in the temple was a cry.
On the day of mourning, cry for three days.
Then one day was substituted for the first month, and the mourning garments were worn for twenty-seven days.
The Son of Heaven is the monarch's father, this is a national funeral.
Zhu Houxi has come to this era, and the play that should be played still has to be acted.
The people in the Fengying regiment and the hundreds of officials in Huguang also showed mourning in their clothes.
"The minister asks His Highness to mourn, and the community is the most important!" Xu Guangzuo hurriedly asked Zhu Houxi to stand up, went around to the south of him and knelt down to hold up the edict, "Minister Xu Guangzuo, please ask His Highness to receive the edict and be congratulated by hundreds of officials!" ”
This is not an enthronement, but after receiving the edict, he is already the heir.
Zhu Houxi's eyes were still uncomfortable because of the hands and feet made on his sleeves, and now he looked at Xu Guangzuo with red eyes.
"Minister Cui Yuan, please ask His Royal Highness to receive the edict, palm the golden talisman, and be congratulated by hundreds of officials!" Cui Yuan and Xu Guangzuo knelt together, and what he held high in his hand was a golden talisman.
"Prince Liang, please ask Your Highness to take the Jiangshan Sheji as the priority, receive the edict, hold the golden talisman, and be congratulated by hundreds of officials!"
"Minister Zhang Heling ......"
"Minister Mao Cheng ......"
In front of Zhu Houxi, he finally quieted down.
According to the presentation at the end of last year, in the current public figures, there are 9,399,979 households in Daming, with a population of 60,606,220.
Lao Qin made a very impressive comparison that made Zhu Houxi:
In 1521, Magellan reached the Philippines on his first circumnavigation of the world. After his death, the rest of the crew returned to Europe to tell the story of the Spice Islands.
In this year, the Aztec civilization in the Americas was destroyed by Spain. Years later, a country dominated the world was born from that land.
And in the same year, the son of a prince in the East was hit by the throne that fell from the sky. Later, he forbade the sea and cultivated immortals.
Now, history has been entrusted to Zhu Houxi alive, waiting for his every decision that is destined to change the fate of countless people.
Time also, life also!
