The west corner door, three rooms wide, two rooms deep, single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, and the roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles.

It is connected to Fengtianmen and Dongjiaomen, located on the Yuntai, and is one of the three gatehouses that lie across the square in front of Fengtianmen and the square in front of Fengtiandian.

Although the West Corner Gate is not as impressive as the Fengtian Gate, the single-eaves roof paved with glazed tiles and the white marble stairs on three sides also reveal the majesty of the emperor.

More than 1,000 civil and military officials held tooth cards, and they came to the West Corner Gate in a neat and orderly manner, standing opposite to each other, quietly waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to arrive.

The eastern sky has become bright, and the morning dew in the square in front of Fengtian Gate in the morning light has not dried.

The early morning of September was obviously a little chilly, and many officials stood in the square in front of the vast Fengtianmen Gate and were blown by the east wind, and they suddenly shivered with cold.

This is the environment of the early dynasty of the Ming officials, if they have a choice, they actually don't like the morning court every day, but want to hide in the bed with the warm bed.

Of course, this is the psychology of low-level officials who do not want to make progress, and the ambitious officials have already looked at the gatehouse hopefully, but their vision is blocked by the collapse in the center of the gatehouse and this case.

The imperial couch, which is actually a throne with a low screen on the back and on the left and right sides, is standing on the golden platform at this time.

The brocade-clothed guard holding the umbrella cover and the eunuch holding the canopy were already in place and were guarding the throne, and another eunuch was standing in the middle of the throne with two arms in his hand.

Xu Pu stood in the east column of officials as the left attendant of the ministry, and Wan An and Liu Ji as ministers ascended the cloud platform from the white marble staircase on the east side, standing respectfully on the west side of the throne, while next to it was the living note.

It didn't take long for there to be movement behind the gatehouse, and Long Yuan came from the direction of the inner court. Because it is a mourning period, there is no palace music in this early dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu deliberately slept early last night, and his mental state today seemed to be good, wearing a decaying suit, Yi Suyi, a good crown linen robe, walked out of the West Corner Gate, and went directly to the throne in the imperial couch to sit down.

Unlike the civil and military officials who rushed from all over the capital, he can be said to have come to the "second gate" from his own "main hall room", but this family is a little poopy.

The Son of Heaven stands on the throne of the imperial couch of the gatehouse, and the hundred officials stand on both sides of the square, which is the "Imperial Gate Listening to the Political Ceremony" that began in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, did not believe in the Song Dynasty's political concept of "ruling the world with scholars and doctors and the Son of Heaven", not only abolished the prime minister system, but also greatly reformed the law of the palace and court meeting, and expanded the discussion of politics by hundreds of officials to thousands of officials.

After all, there are more than 1,000 officials who participate in the early dynasty every day, and even the largest Fengtian Hall cannot accommodate so many officials, so the early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is not in the Fengtian Temple, but in the square in front of the Fengtian Gate.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that civil and military officials would go to Fengtianmen every day at dawn, and the emperor would personally accept the worship and handle political affairs.

In addition to the Chang Dynasty Imperial Gate Ceremony, it is also the Chang Dynasty Imperial Palace Ceremony on TV, and the location of the Imperial Palace Ceremony is in the Fengmen Hall and the Huagai Palace, and you can also choose the Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall in the outer dynasties.

The palace ceremony of the Chang Dynasty is aimed at the great dynasty, which is only held on the New Year's Day, the winter solstice, and the longevity festival, and the hundred officials congratulate the emperor without discussing politics. The location is generally set in the Fengtian Temple, and only officials above the fourth rank enter the temple, and the rest of the officials only salute outside the temple.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the throne and looked condescendingly at the black-pressed officials in the square, finally ushering in the first early dynasty of his ruling career.

Liu Jin was holding an incense burner in his hand, the incense burner was engraved with the pattern of Qingshan Shoushan sea, and at this time there was already incense burning, which seemed to be carefully placed on the treasure case in front of him, and reported to Zhu Youji: "Settled!" ”

This ritual originated from the Yongle Dynasty and heralded the stability of the country.

Etiquette has long penetrated into the marrow of this dynasty, and the wrestlers of the Jinyi Guard stood on the edge of the jade white stone staircase in the south, waving their whips at the civil and military officials.

"Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials led by Wan An turned around and headed to the north, kneeling and bowing three times to Zhu Youji, who was sitting on the throne.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the civil and military officials who bowed to him, and when he finished the ceremony, he said lightly: "Flat!" ”

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Wan An and other officials thanked him again.

Because there are too many officials here, low-ranking officials can only look at Zhu Youzhu on the royal couch from afar, as the so-called "official title with the size of sesame mung beans can get a glimpse of the holy face from a distance today".

It's just that the distance is too far, and they can't see the face of this great tomorrow clearly, and some officials with bad eyes can only see an outline.

Today is Zhu Youji's first court meeting, so the process is still different.

Liang Fang glanced up at Zhu Youzhu on the throne, and after receiving a refutation, he raised the holy decree in his hand and said, "Your Majesty's edict to the civil and military ministers, please listen to the decree!" ”

"The ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Wan An and Liu Ji silently exchanged glances, and even led the civil and military officials to greet him.

Liang Fang opened the bright yellow holy decree in his hand, and immediately read it out in the unique voice of a eunuch: "I am the only monarch who is no greater than Fengtian, and the success of the law is more important than the ancestor; The way of being a minister is not to be loyal to the king and love the people. I inherit the inheritance, but the heavens only pay the ancestors, and I only respect the night...... Now I am in power, and the court is new, Erwen and Wu ministers, all of whom were appointed by the first emperor, and those who are left behind must have the hope of being a vice-president...... Emperor Yang Wei took the examination of the emperor of Daxing, was a wise man, a sage from the sky, a pure and honest character, and gave me a volume of good policies for governing the country on his deathbed, and I benefited a lot from reading it...... Fu is the rate, and the virtue is slow and courteous, indulge in favoritism, the ancestors reward and punish the canon, I dare not be selfish! Don't ignore it, so I don't want to ignore it! ”

Zhu Youzhu listened to the edict he concocted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Since these civil and military officials like to use the ancestral system, the only thing that can defeat magic is magic, and I will take the opportunity to give them some eye medicine first, so that I can play on the topic next.

"A volume of good policies for governing the country?"

Wan An and other officials were not interested in Zhu Youji's previous remarks, but when they heard that Emperor Chenghua actually left Zhu Youzhi a policy of governing the country, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"I see! Hehe...... I say, this prince can't have become so holy and wise! Xu Pu looked at the students who had obviously become different, and seemed to be enlightened.

Since the death of the first emperor, this prince, who has always been well-behaved, seems to have changed a person, not only alienating them from the old people of the East Palace, but also revising the "Enthronement Edict" drafted by himself.

In particular, in the revision of the salt law, he did not adopt his own proposal to rectify the indiscriminate use of salt, but pointed the spearhead at the core of the collusion between officials and businessmen.

Out of his understanding of the prince's ability, he believed that there was a master behind him, but several investigations were fruitless, and now this mystery has finally been solved.

It's not that this dull prince has opened his mind, but the guidance of Emperor Chenghua, who has died, I am afraid that only Emperor Chenghua can have such vicious eyesight.

The eastern sky has become white, the entire west corner gate has become very bright, and Emperor Hongzhi, who is sitting on the throne, no longer seems so mysterious.

Being guided by others and realizing by oneself are completely different things, as long as this new monarch believes in the "vertical arch and rule" system, then Emperor Hongzhi will be dominated by their civil officials.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" Liang Fang put away the holy decree and sang to the civil and military officials in the square.

Thousands of officials discuss politics, and there has long been a fixed order of affairs.

The Zongren Mansion was the first to start, followed by the four departments of rites, households, soldiers, and workers in turn, followed by the Criminal Department and the Three Law Divisions, followed by the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Mansion, the Branch, the Dao and Jiuqing, and the Ministry of Officials was at the end.

The officials of the Zongren Mansion came out and said: "Please give the fourth son of Zhu Junji, the general of the Zhenguo State of the Chu Palace, and say: Zhu Rongsao; The fifth son of Zhu Qiyu, the king of Yonghe of the Jin Dynasty, said: Zhu Biaomei; The eldest son of Zhu Guidong, the lieutenant of the auxiliary state of Jingjiang Palace, said: Zhu Yuehui. ”

"Quasi-play!" Zhu Youzhu seemed powerless to complain about this trivial matter, but he still replied according to yesterday's cabinet vote.

After the performance of the Zongren Mansion was completed, Ni Yue, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said: "Ni Yue, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has a book!" ”

came, when Ni Yue came out of the ranks, the officials who had already known the content of the concert in advance silently exchanged glances. The enthronement promoted by Xu Pu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials and the scholar of Hanlin, is now about to report to His Majesty in person.
