Chapter 424: Chaos and stability coexist

The whole city is vegetarian.

When Li Bin returned to Yingtianfu and saw this scene, the whole person was stunned.

He knew he was still one step too late.

Thinking that the entire Wu Wang Yimai missed the opportunity because of himself, Li Bin couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, and the complete opposite of him, Liu Sheng was full of surprise.

He had been thinking about how to hide the news before, but this northern expedition can be said to be completely promoted by King Wu's lineage, so generals like Li Bin and Xu Heng joined and held important positions.

One is the commander of the 3,000 battalions, and the other is the commander of the 5th battalion.

The three major battalions of the Ming army account for two, and it is self-evident what kind of role these two people represent and how much weight they have.

Therefore, Liu Shengsi thought about it and thought about it, and he didn't think of any way to bypass Li Bin and Xu Heng, and neither was discovered by the two of them at the time or afterwards, and the news was smoothly delivered to the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Even, Liu Sheng was ready to defend Shuntianfu for a while.

Because in his opinion, under the containment of Li Bin and Xu Heng, the final and only chance for the emperor may be that the distance between Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu is very far, and he can take advantage of this advantage to make an information gap.

However, as a loyal supporter of King Wu, plus these two people alone were in charge of two of the three major battalions of the Ming army, and one of them was the largest number of five military battalions......

Liu Sheng felt very unoptimistic, in his expectation, Shuntianfu was likely to fall, so he was ready to defend it.

But now it seems that everything is not to be worried, the only person who can stabilize people's hearts in the emperor's lineage now, the Empress Dowager Zhang, she is fully prepared.

……

Entering Suncheon City, Liu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that all the civil and military officials were dressed in sackcloth and welcomed the emperor who died on the battlefield home.

On the other hand, Li Bin and Xu Heng had gloomy faces, and they were not relieved until they saw Chen Xun and the others who were also dressed in sackcloth.

In their opinion, Chen Xun, Zhu Zhanyan's henchman, and Hu Hu, who is also Zhu Zhanyan's chess pieces, are all ready, and King Wu's line should also be ready.

Even if you are not fully prepared, you must at least be mentally prepared, right?

However, as everyone knows, whether it is Liu Sheng, Li Bin, or Xu Heng, they are all worrying about the sky.

The scene in front of me is just a transaction by the ruling class, but compared to ordinary people, the bargaining chips of this transaction seem a bit shocking.

However, this also explains the ruthlessness of the word power.

The word power is so ruthless that even the emperor may become a bargaining chip, so ruthless that Li Bin and Xu Heng, who have never had two hearts from supporters of King Han to King Wu, will be kept in the dark.

Similarly, it is so ruthless that even family affection will be abandoned.

Watching the people in the palace methodically pick up the slightly shabby Zi Palace, Li Bin and Xu Heng subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xu Heng.

Zhu Zhanyan is not there, Zhu Gaoxu is not there, and Chen Xun is considered to be the person who can best represent Zhu Zhanyan.

However, Chen Xun just gave them a calm look, and then left with the Empress Dowager Zhang.

……

Soon, it was almost beyond people's expectations.

The imperial court seemed to have been prepared, placing Zhu Zhanji's Zigong and sorting out the court, and even in just seven days, the palace began to worship the Sheji altar and the Taimiao, and at the same time, the former queen and the current empress dowager Sun Ruowei took Zhu Qizhen, who could not walk, to the imperial mausoleum to worship.

This represents the new emperor's accession to the throne.

A child who couldn't understand a word became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his mother became the queen mother, and his grandmother became the first queen mother of the Ming Dynasty.

Everything is so orderly, it can even be said that it is calm to the point that it feels incredible.

However, the people who wonder about this question are all people who are not qualified to enter the center of power.

And those who spend their days at the center of power do not have such doubts.

Because they know very well what the ins and outs of this matter is, and even what the next few years will look like.

……

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhang, who is now the empress dowager, sits in the highest position, and next to her, Sun Ruowei, who is already the empress dowager, holds the emperor who ascended the throne at the youngest age in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Standing below were Chen Xun and the others.

This is also in the Yangxin Palace, which is the residence of the Zhang family since the death of Emperor Hongxi, if it is in Qingning Palace or even Qianqing Palace, even if she is the Empress Dowager, she is also not qualified to sit in the highest position.

Because in both palaces, the highest position has a distinctive symbol.

But in this Heart Cultivation Palace, the Zhang family is the highest speaker.

"Then, the ministers will retire first."

Chen Xun took Hu Hu and others to bow down together, and saluted Zhang, Sun Ruowei and Zhu Qizhen.

It is in this palace of heart cultivation that the decision of the Ming Dynasty to be as short as ten years or longer in the future has just been established.

The emperor died, and the new emperor first ascended the throne, but he did not have the ability to govern the court, and the lord was suspicious and uncertain, so someone was needed to stabilize the overall situation.

Usually, in this case, it is the queen mother who listens to the government, after all, it is not unheard of in history, and it is also like this in history.

During the period when Zhu Zhanji had just died in history, it was the Zhang family who listened to the government, and at the same time appointed five ministers, including the cabinet Sanyang, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hu Hu, and the British Minister Zhang Fu, to create an orthodox period for Zhu Qizhen to be relatively clear.

But, that's history.

At this time in history, there was no Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji did not die so early, and the situation in the DPRK and China was not so complicated.

Now, even if Zhang wants to, even if he has a good reason, she can't do it.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade the harem to interfere in politics.

From Queen Ma at the beginning of the founding of the country to Sun Ruowei, who has just been promoted to the queen mother, the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics has never been broken, at least on the surface.

Even if the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, even if Zhu Qizhen can't handle the government now, it is impossible for her to listen to the government.

Second, the former Emperor Xuande left a testament before his death, with Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, and six Shangshu as the auxiliary, assisting the young to govern the country and the country.

This edict was brought back by Li Bin, not because Zhu Zhanji personally handed it over to Li Bin and asked him to bring it back, but because Li Bin "knew it with affection and moved it with reason", and finally "persuaded" everyone to hand over this edict to him for safekeeping, and brought it back to Shuntianfu and handed it over to the imperial court.

Liu Sheng had thought more than once about how to snatch this edict from Li Bin's hands, and he didn't know how many ways to do it, but the result was the same.

Can't do it.

The reason is very simple, no matter what method is used, first of all, Li Bin and Xu Heng are impossible to agree, but if it is Yin or Qiang, then he can't bear the final consequences.

Why? Because King Wu will lift the table.

Therefore, in life, if you want to have the right to make your own choice, the most important thing is that you have the ability to flip the table.

If not, then you will still be at the mercy of others.

In any case, although it was a matter of the emperor's death, the Ming Dynasty still stabilized, forming a cabinet headed by Chen Xun and six ministries to jointly assist the young lord to govern the government and the opposition, everything was unexpected by people, but it seemed to be reasonable.

It's unexpected because people don't think things should go the way they do.

It is reasonable to say that it is because this matter seems to be able to only develop this way.

But on the whole, the court is stable, but the common people have some different statements.

The reason, in fact, is because of the new emperor.

Orthodox, this era name is actually nothing in history, because if it is based on history, although Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne at a young age, it can be regarded as justifiable and inherited in order.

But now, Zhu Qizhen's ascension to the throne has been said.

Ordinary people didn't know that the emperor's personal expedition and death on the battlefield was just a transaction between the emperor's lineage and the king's lineage, so in their opinion, the emperor's death this time was actually an opportunity for the king's lineage.

A great opportunity.

However, King Wu was unmoved, and Zhu Gaoxu stayed in the old capital Yingtian without any action.

In such a situation, no one will believe it if it is said that King Wu has no intention of competing for the throne, so people feel that King Wu is ready for other backs.

However, at this time, the ascension of the new emperor to the throne and the announcement of the new emperor's year name made everyone ......

Cannot help laughing.

An emperor who is more than a year old, two women and Taoists, can such a combination suppress the king of Wu who is in the sky?

Obviously, it can't, even if one of the two women is the queen mother and the other is the queen mother.

Moreover, the name of the new emperor is really unbearable.

Orthodoxy, this should be a normal era name, but at this time, and it is still used on Zhu Qizhen's body, even if no one thinks about it much, it makes people can't help but think about it more.

This is the most normal era name in history, but now it seems to have a deliberate emphasis on its orthodox meaning, which makes people laugh.

Ying Tianfu, Han Wangfu.

To be honest, this plaque that has not been changed is more or less nondescript, after all, a person whose title has been changed to King Wu has been using the previous title, which is somewhat unusual.

But now, Hanwang has actually become a kind of benchmark, a mark that represents an era.

However, Zhu Gaoxu himself didn't feel this way, he was actually nostalgic for the old and a little lazy, so he kept dragging it out and didn't change it.

"Don't think so much all day long, many times people don't think much about it at all, it's you who think too much."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son in front of him, more or less crying and laughing.

The matter of the orthodox era name is hotly discussed among the people, after all, if it is true, or it is ugly, those people who are hotly discussing this matter are not politically talented, and even a little stupid.

But he didn't expect his son to be thinking about it too.

"The son knows that the eldest aunt doesn't think much about this, and even if she thinks about it, it's not because of the so-called emphasis, but it should be said to be a warning."

Zhu Zhanyan was not surprised everywhere, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing his father.

"My son thinks that the eldest aunt is actually telling us that it's okay to do it if you want to, but don't choose this time."

"Huh?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son in surprise.

His son's reaction somewhat surprised Zhu Gaoxu.

The current Zhu Gaochu is no longer the former Zhu Gaoxu, at least not the Zhu Gaochu who was played by Emperor Taizong in the seventh and eighth years of Yongle.

The Zhu Gaochu who could chase and run for half his life with a piece of meat hanging in front of him is gone, and now Zhu Gaochu has been trained by his eldest son Zhu Zhanyu.

Regarding the orthodoxy of the era, no matter whether he thinks about it or not, Zhu Gaoxu found a little different.

The first is that this era name should not have appeared, even if it should be, it should not be, this problem is not only Zhu Gaoxu, even if Zhu Zhanyu is replaced, he will think so.

There is no problem with the appearance of the orthodox era name in history, it is just a year name, and even if there are some additional meanings, there will not be too many in it.

But now, in this case, the name of orthodoxy cannot appear, because appearing is equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face.

But it still appeared.

This is the last effort made as the empress dowager and as the only person who can still stand on the throne in the current emperor's lineage.

It's a deterrent, but it's also a compromise.

Second, it is telling the people of the world who is orthodox.

The appearance of the orthodox era name is indeed a bit of a slap in the face at this time, but I have to say that it is very easy to use, and it can make almost everyone focus on it.

As for the purpose, there is only one, that is, to delay the footsteps of King Wu as much as possible and give Zhu Qizhen enough time to grow.

But in fact, this is the emperor's lineage that he doesn't need to worry about, because whether it is Zhu Zhanyan, who is in Europe, or Zhu Gaoxu, who is in the Central Plains, he actually didn't think so anxious.

Time is a problem, but it's also the least of all.

In terms of achievements, anyone can be sure that no one can surpass the current Zhu Zhanyan, because even if he surpasses, he can't surpass it.

In governing the country, Zhu Zhan Yan put forward the method of examination, instant supplement, and apportionment into the mu and has been used to this day, although each system will have loopholes before there is a perfect and effective supervision system, and the difference is only a matter of time, but it has to be said that these proposed by Zhu Zhan Yan are still easy to use so far.

In Anbang, Zhu Zhan has really achieved the point of being unprecedented.

There is no way for future generations to surpass it, after all, there are only so many places that can be beaten, and Zhu Zhanyan has almost beaten it all over again.

How to surpass?
