This kind of game of ascending to the throne has been played clearly by now, and there is even a game strategy about persuasion - "Persuasion Instrument Note".

In the face of this "Persuasion Table" that came as scheduled, even according to the content of the "Notes on Persuasion Ceremony", he replied in the name of the new monarch Zhu Youji: "The emperor of the imperial examination is dying, and he is guilty of being on the throne, and he can't bear to hear about it, so I don't allow it." ”

The general meaning is: My father is dead, and I am grieving in my heart, so I cannot agree to your request to inherit the throne.

The next day, these people came to the gate of Huiji again and handed over a new copy of the "Persuasion Form", and Zhu Youzhu replied: "Qing and others will write again to persuade and enter, and they will be sincere." But to the hatred of the whole day, Fang Yin couldn't bear to take the throne, so he didn't allow it. ”

Another day, these people came to the gate of Huiji in special costumes, and this time solemnly handed over a "Persuasion Form".

When things came to this point, the cozy attitude was naturally completed, and Zhu Youzhu replied logically: "The emperor is a guest of the emperor's examination, and the emperor is devastated in grief and sorrow, and the civil and military ministers, the military and the people, etc., take the weight of the ancestral inheritance and the strictness of the emperor's posthumous life. ”

The persuasion of the game ended here, the funeral of Emperor Chenghua has slowly faded, and the next most important thing is to choose a day to ascend the throne.

Qin Tianjian elected several auspicious days, and the cabinet chose the nearest date to be decided by Zhu Youji, who finalized the date of the sixth day of the ninth lunar month.

As for the era name, Zhu Youzhu did not intend to influence too much historical trend, so it was logical to choose "Hongzhi".

Every time there is a change of dynasty, the entire officialdom will have an undercurrent.

It is not easy to have a cold window for ten years, it is difficult to title the gold list, it is even more difficult to stay in the capital as an official, and it is even more difficult to be in a high position.

Now in the face of this change, no one wants to let the previous efforts go to waste, and the officials in the capital have flocked to the mansions of the court tycoons.

Because Emperor Chenghua did not believe in Wenchen but believed in eunuchs, the relationship between the two sides was not good. Now that the new emperor is a virtuous monarch, the Mei Party, headed by Wan An, the head of the cabinet, is likely to be purged, leaving many officials on the verge of liquidation.

"Yang Mo, the Shaoqing of Xiaguan Guanglu Temple, came to visit Master Xu!"

"Li Zhiqing, a member of the Ministry of Officials, came to visit Master Xu!"

"Xiaguan Tongzheng Division, Right Tongzheng Zhong Yiming came to visit Master Xu!"

……

The Xu Mansion located in Lingshi Hutong was patronized by the officials of the capital, and these officials who were chasing fame and fortune handed over the prayer posts with gifts, but they wanted to serve Xu Pu.

If the Charming Party falls, then the beneficiary must be Qingliu.

Throughout the court, in addition to the second assistant Liu Ji, the most prestigious Qingliu official was Xu Pu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials and the scholar of Hanlin.

Xu Pu is not only in an important position, but also a two-term emperor, and he is also the presiding officer of the 14th year of Chenghua, so he must become one of the leaders of the new dynasty.

Not to mention that they are likely to face liquidation now, even if they need to seek the protection of Xu Pu's big tree now in order for Jingcha to pass the customs smoothly next year.

It's September, and the weather is getting cooler.

Xu Pu was wearing Cheng Ziyi at home, although his temples were white and there were many wrinkles on his face, his eyes were blazing, and the whole person exuded a bit of elegance, which also showed the majesty of the superior.

Unlike Wan An and Liu Ji, his honor and favor have risen instead of decreasing, and now when he sees the officials who have come to the door to serve, he faintly feels that the supreme power is within reach.

As long as he succeeds in entering the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and when the silly and sweet new monarch abolishes the factory guard, then the entire Ming Dynasty government will return to the cabinet and will be controlled by himself.

"Student Jiang Hong greets the teacher!" Jiang Hong followed the housekeeper to Xu Pu, and immediately knelt respectfully and saluted.

Jiang Hong was a jinshi in the eleventh year of Chenghua, the first governor of Lu's county, and later the imperial history of Beizhili. The reason why he was able to change from a county magistrate to an imperial history is mainly due to the fact that he was a jinshi in the eleventh year of Chenghua.

The three strongest relationships in officialdom are teachers and students, fellow villagers and the same year, among which the relationship between teachers and students is the closest, and it can even be said that they are in love with father and son.

Although the civil service group is not hereditary, it is passed down from generation to generation through the teacher-student relationship.

The reason why Xu Pu's career can be so smooth is naturally not how strong his ability is, but that the chief examiner who presided over the Jingtai five-year examination was the former chief assistant businessman, and now one of Xu Pu's protégés is Xie Qian, who served as the left concubine.

Jiang Hong is the same, it is thanks to the promotion of the teacher who is the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and now he can become a royal history with a status that is not trivial from the local magistrate.

Xu Pu saw his protégé Yushi Jiang Hong appear, so he picked up the tea cup on the table and said gently: "Xi Fan, as a teacher, I want you to serve in the local government next year!" ”

"It's all up to the teacher!" Jiang Hong's heart was suddenly shocked, but he still behaved very deferentially.

Xu Pu looked at this disciple's reaction with satisfaction, pinched the tea lid and splashed the tea lightly: "Although Huguang is far away from the capital, it is also a place where you can make achievements, you can go to Huguang to serve as a patrolman!" ”

"Uh, huh? Thank...... Teacher Xie cultivates! Jiang Hong thought that Huguang was too remote at first, but when he heard that he was going to be the governor of Huguang, he suddenly felt that pie fell from the sky and knelt down to thank him.

Although there is no change in the rank from the imperial history to the patrol, the status is very different.

The most famous is the eight prefectures in the drama Bao Zheng, this patrol is on behalf of the Son of Heaven patrol, according to the ministers of the domain, Fuzhou and county officials to investigate, impeachment is particularly specialized, major events are judged, and small matters are decided.

It is precisely because the local governor has so much power that even the local prefect from the four grades is to greet each other with a smile, and the officials of the state and county have to kneel to greet him.

Xu Pu took a sip of tea with satisfaction, and then said lightly: "Huai En is honest and not greedy, honest and loyal, and he was even more meritorious in protecting the prince back then, you ask Your Majesty to recall him back to the helm of the ceremonial supervisor!" ”

"When the students go back, they will immediately submit a request for slightness!" Jiang Hong naturally couldn't shirk it, even if he said it properly.

Xu Pu saw that the matter of caring for En's return was properly arranged, so he smiled and said, "Go back!" ”

"Student quit!" Jiang Hong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said respectfully.

Just recommended the meritorious Huai'en to His Majesty to be reinstated, and he was exchanged for the post of Huguang Patrol, which can be said to be the best deal in the world, and he is also a good teacher.

In the future, as long as you work hard to serve this kind teacher, even if you can't return to the capital in the future to take up an important position in the six departments, you will definitely be able to do whatever you want in the local area.

Officials large and small in the capital came one after another, and the Xu Mansion resolutely became the most beautiful mansion in the entire capital.

Xu Pu saw that the officials who came to serve were willing, these were the cornerstones of his own mastery of the court, but after all, he was already sixty years old, so he felt a little tired later.

Fortunately, the housekeeper helped sort out some insignificant little Beijing officials, and finally ended the meeting at dusk.

Although the door of Xufu looks ordinary, there is something else inside, especially the scenery of the backyard is pleasant, rockery, strange stones, lake pavilions...... Resolutely moved a certain scenery in the south of the Yangtze River here.

Xu Pu was born in a family of eunuchs, and his grandfather once served as the prefect of Qiongzhou, so he has a relatively high pursuit of quality of life since he was a child. In the early years, a huge amount of money was spent to rebuild this temple, and the strange stone in the lake was transported from the south of the Yangtze River.

It's autumn, but hardy flowers and trees are planted here.

Xu Pu would come to the lake pavilion in the backyard every day when he returned from the ya, where he tasted a pot of good tea and enjoyed the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter in this backyard.

I have just finished a day's work and feel tired, and now I am undoubtedly the best place to relax.

Generally speaking, you don't allow others to disturb at this time. After passing through the ceremony, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion actually led a group of people to stride in, and the two of them were middle-aged men wearing clothes outside the staff.

When Xu Pu saw his student's outfit, he couldn't help but be very puzzled and said, "Ziyuan, aren't you in Yangzhou?" Why did you suddenly come to the capital? ”
