Emperor Hongzhi collapsed, and he also changed to a new name, Emperor Daxing, even if the palace had been prepared for this, it was still a mess.

Empress Zhang cried and fainted, and the ministers outside the palace went to the side hall to draw up the will to announce the world.

The eunuch of the mixed hall division knelt in the hall and waited to clean the body of Emperor Hongzhi of Daxing, but Zhu Houzhao insisted that no one should be allowed to move the body of his father, he tightly pulled the already cold palm of Emperor Hongzhi, sobbed silently and wept, and did not look at the people next to him.

Seeing this, the eunuchs of the Mixed Hall Division had no choice but to ask Xia Yuan on the side to persuade the prince, but Xia Yuan ignored them, and just knelt on the edge of the collapse with an expressionless face.

He was a little dazed in his mind, feeling that there was suddenly one less important person and one less relative in this world.

The person lying on the couch is not related to him by blood, but he is still one of the few relatives in this world.

The definition of relatives is not only connected by blood, but also close to each other, deep feelings, this man and him are not only monarchs and ministers, but also Weng son-in-law, once, he always recognized the former first, and pressed the latter's Weng son-in-law aside, but now, he feels that the latter is bigger than the former, and this father-in-law has already become an indispensable person in his heart.

But now, he's dead.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Yuan fell to the ground, kowtowing heavily to the person who had lost his breath of life on the couch, before that, he didn't know how many times he had made such a big gift, but every time before, he didn't think so, as a person who was essentially a modern thought, of course he didn't think of this kind of etiquette of kneeling around and around, of course, he sneered.

It's just that he didn't dare to express this disdain, and he knelt with others when he knelt, whether it was from his heart, or if he went with the flow, he would be safe, but he would always kneel when he said it.

But this time, he was from the bottom of his heart, willingly, in addition to bowing, in addition to doing such a big bow and nine bows, he didn't know how to say goodbye to this father-in-law, how to say goodbye to this emperor who had worked hard for half his life.

After three bows and nine bows, he straightened up, this time his face was no longer expressionless, but solemn.

He thought that one day, he would tell the success of the future reform in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Hongzhi in Tianshou Mountain, and show the grain brought back by the West.

At that time, His Majesty will be able to see you.

After a while, he seemed to remember the request of the eunuch of the mixed hall division before, and looked at Zhu Houzhao next to him, seeing that he was in a trance, ignoring others, but he did not persuade him, but said: "Your Highness, when I was young, I heard my parents say that after death, people will become stars in the sky, watching the lives of future generations.

The deceased Majesty will also turn into the stars in the sky, looking at His Highness in the sky, and watching the great heaven that he entrusted to His Highness. ”

Zhu Houzhao's expression moved when he heard this, he sniffed, clenched his father's hand, and turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, "Which star will my father become?" ”

"Your Majesty is a rare Ming Jun throughout the ages, Renjun, whenever His Highness looks up at the sky at night, the brightest star in the sky is Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao listened silently for a while, and then stood up, "Come on, clean and change clothes for my father." ”

————————————————————

In the early morning of March 25, the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the melodious Jingyang bell rang, and before the noon gate, there were many Beijing officials who knelt down and wore filial piety above the seventh grade, and thousands of people sobbed together, and the sad atmosphere did not need to be brewed, and it could appeal to the sky and endure for a long time.

Chen Shizheng, the left door opened, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Shu and others walked out wearing filial piety.

The right door also opened, and Zhang Mao walked out with a group of lords wearing filial piety.

A line of cabinet and six ministries, a line of princes and ministers, walked out of the two gates, and then stood on the left and right of the noon gate, standing on both sides with tears, this is waiting for the noon gate to open, waiting for the new monarch to read the edict.

The kneeling officials in the middle of the field all looked up at the noon gate, waiting for the vermilion gate to open.

No one spoke, no one moved, all like sculptures, only sad sobs.

"Buzz"

The bell of Jingyang Bell rang again, and in the sound of the bell, the heavy noon door slowly opened on both sides.

Countless pairs of tearful eyes are looking at the noon door that is gradually opening.

The deep doorway was followed by a deeper inner palace, and Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a gown's robe, walked out of the doorway.

Liu Jian led the officials of the six cabinet departments to kneel, Zhang Mao led a group of ministers to kneel, and all the officials also bowed to the ground.

At this time, there was no need for anyone to take the lead, and almost at the same time, the mountain cry was issued, "Ministers welcome the new monarch!" ”

Xiao Jing, who was following Zhu Houzhao, shouted loudly: "The first emperor's last order is here, and the ministers bow down." ”

The ministers shouted long live and bowed to the ground.

Xiao Jing unfolded the holy decree and read: "I bow down with my eyes, look up to Pixu, and ascend to the great treasure for ten years, respect the heavens and the people, be filial and reasonable, and work hard all night, but the first emperor is entrusted with fear, but now I am dying, and I can get up, and the common sense of life and death, although the holy wisdom cannot be disobeyed, and I will succeed in winning people, what are the regrets?"

The crown prince is wise and benevolent and filial, and the nature is natural, and it is appropriate to be the emperor, and he guards the law of his ancestors, filial piety to the two palaces, and goes to study and cultivate virtue and make the virtuous envoy to use his lover, not arrogant or slack, and the ministers of Shenwai are assisted by their concentricity to protect the cause of the sect for thousands of years.

The funeral is all simple, with the day and the month, the 27th release, the sacrifice is ashamed, there is no ban on music to marry, the prince of the clan is sent, and he cannot leave his country, and the town guards, the general soldiers, the governors, and the envoys of the capital, the political envoys, and the officials of the three divisions according to the inspectors, strictly seal the territory, appease the army and the people, and do not leave their posts without permission.

On the day of the funeral, he only cried for three days in the morning and evening, and sent officials to the incense on his behalf. The yamen below the four grades in all provinces in the world are exempt from incense, and the edict is made known to the salty envoys in the world. ”

After the will was recited, the ministers cried again, and they bowed their heads one after another.

"The first emperor is great, the new monarch succeeds to the throne, and the time is right, and the holy pilgrimage is changed, the holy virtue is Yongzhang, and the monarch is baptized"

"The first emperor is great, the new monarch succeeds to the throne, and the time is right, and the holy pilgrimage is changed, the holy virtue is Yongzhang, and the monarch is baptized"

"The first emperor is great, the new monarch succeeds to the throne, and the time is right, and the holy dynasty is changed"

One by one, the voice was transmitted far away, and all the ministers bowed in unison, and for the first time, they formally paid homage to Zhu Houzhao with the etiquette of seeing the king of the courtiers.

Kneeling on the ground outside the noon gate, Zhu Hou looked at these ministers who bowed to him three times and nine times, and felt panicked, helpless, and dazed.

Sadness and confusion were intertwined, hesitation and confusion, he looked up at the sky, there were no stars in the sky, he could not see where the brightest star was.

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to lower his eyelids, searching the crowd with increasingly blank eyes, and then saw the master who was also bowing to him.

Such a discovery made him have an indescribable sense of loss, the previous master and he never talked about dignity and humility, did not talk about etiquette, just like friends and brothers, but now they are bowing to themselves. It turns out that becoming an emperor is really a lonely person.

He clenched his fists, feeling the tingling of his nails in his palms.

According to the rules, at this time, he should push and persuade the ministers to advance, and inherit the throne after three resignations and three concessions, but now, he is just stunned, standing there silently, completely forgetting the three resignations and three concessions.

Seeing this, the ministers were not easy to remind, so they had to continue to bow, and the shouts of long live became louder and louder, trying to remind Zhu Houzhao in this way.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao noticed something, raised his eyes, and saw Xia Yuan, who was still bowing respectfully to him just now, raising his head and staring at himself at this time, his lips were still opening and closing.

He read a passage through his lips, which kept opening and closing,—— Why are you stunned on a horse? Isn't it taking advantage of me?

Discovering this, Zhu Houzhao smiled with relief, the loss in his heart was gone, and he felt a burst of joy of regain, it turned out that the master was still the master, even if he became the emperor, he would not lose his friends.

Seeing that Xia Yuan's lips were still opening and closing, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "Everyone. Everyone, get even. ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be silent before the noon gate, and then Liu Jian said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the new monarch should be invited by the minister three times, and the new monarch resigned three times, His Royal Highness this time, it is not in line with the court's etiquette." ”

Zhu Houzhao remembered that there was still this stubble when he heard this, "Oh yes, that, this palace can't be this emperor." ”

The old faces of the ministers present twitched, although this sentence is also a concession, but it is really not on the stage, it should be that the palace is not virtuous enough, and it has failed to serve the unification and the like.

But it was not good for Zhu Houzhao to change, so he had to pinch his nose and go to the form, and persuaded him one after another, and Zhu Houzhao continued to push back.

After such three resignations and three concessions, the new king has been decided, and everyone then bows three times and bows nine times to see the new king.

From this moment on, Zhu Houzhao became the emperor in the true sense, an old era passed, and a new era began.

He looked at the ministers who worshiped him all over the place, in addition to the sadness of the death of his father, as well as the pleasure of reigning over the world and holding power, he couldn't wait to exercise his power, and issued the first holy decree of the emperor's career, "You must buy a funeral ceremony for your father's good life, and his father said before his death that his biggest regret was that he failed to sweep Mobei. No, I want to conquer the Tatars in person to comfort my father's spirit in heaven! ”

[End of book.] 】

PS: In the past two days, I've been combing the plot arrangement after Emperor Hongzhi went offline, but I found that there is nothing to write about, the changes have been launched, it is nothing more than a step-by-step continuation, and I have silver in the West, and I can go down, and the plots of North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom have been left behind, and I don't need to write it for the time being, and when there is a plot here, it will take more than ten years or even decades after the timeline.

Now that Zhu Houzhao has become the emperor, the protagonist has great power, that is, to change the law, reform, conquer the Tatars and Jurchens, and make this era better together, and then have a child with Xiao Sheizi, and then... What else, nothing.

With the relationship between the protagonist and Zhu Houzhao, the eight tigers in the back can't make any waves at all, and there will be no such things.

I found that if I wrote it down, the whole book would become a running account.,It's like you're upgrading to fight monsters.,Complete the task.,The development of the plot can be seen at a glance.,Just stop here.,I'll make up a postscript later.,Talk about the future.。

And that's it.

Stopping the pen and doing this, there is a feeling of unfinished work, and I have it too, but let's stop here, and it is not interesting to continue writing.

Another reason is that this book is actually a deformity, and I will explain in detail why it is deformed when I finish this testimonial.

That's it, this salute.
