"Please take back your order!"

At the court meeting, the ministers fell to the ground and shouted.

Whether it was the high-ranking officials sitting in the front row, or the middle- and low-level officials standing in the back row, they all knelt down to advise the emperor at this moment.

Some officials have already gotten the news, and now they are just going through the motions with the acting.

There were also many officials who looked confused, their information was not so well-informed, and their brains were buzzing with the emperor's abdication. When they saw the other officials kneeling down to admonish, they hurriedly followed suit and shouted together.

This scene was grand enough, and Zhu Ming had to kneel.

Zhu Guoxiang slapped the dragon chair angrily and scolded: "Have you forgotten the etiquette? Don't bow down at will! ”

Zhai Ruwen said: "The Holy Monarch abdicates, this is a big deal!" ”

Zhu Guoxiang pointed to his son: "The prince stands up." ”

Zhu Ming honestly got up and stood up.

Zhu Guoxiang pointed to the chair again: "Sit down and talk." ”

"Yes!" Ju Ming returned to his seat.

Zhu Guoxiang pointed to Zhai Ruwen again: "The prime minister stands up." ”

Zhai Ruwen did not dare to resist the order.

In this way, the cabinet stood up one by one and returned to its seat one after another.

Zhu Guoxiang glanced at the ministers again: "Do you want me to name them too?" ”

So, the ministers returned to their seats, and their subordinates soon followed.

It was only when the hundred officials returned to the throne that Zhu Guoxiang said: "I am just a cloth cloth, even when I first entered Beijing, I was kidnapped by the eunuchs sent by the faint king......"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers had strange expressions, and they remembered Zhu Guoxiang's debut.

When the son of heaven is really generous and benevolent?

Hehe.

How arrogant the eunuchs of the former Song Dynasty were, and the powerful people in the court did not dare to offend the eunuchs.

And Zhu Guoxiang, as a cloth cloth, when he was ordered to enter Beijing, he tied up the eunuch leader all the way and directly escorted the eunuch to Donghuamen.

Moreover, the other eunuchs, officials, soldiers, and many officials along the way all helped Zhu Guoxiang speak.

Such a means is by no means a soft and kind person, and it can even be described as bold.

There is also the "heaven and man induction" a few years ago, in order to suppress the public opinion of the cabinet, Zhu Guoxiang decisively changed the cabinet ministers from five to seven. Zhang Gen and Zhai Ruwen's voice plummeted in an instant, and all cabinet affairs became the emperor's final say, and Prime Minister Zhang Gen even found an opportunity to resign and retire.

Generosity and kindness are just the emperor's style of doing things, and there are thunderbolts when things really happen.

"I am not even interested in being an official, let alone an emperor," Zhu Guoxiang said, "It is only because of the chaos in the world and the displacement of the people that I am forced to raise troops to relieve the people from hanging." Now that the situation is stable, and the gold thief has retreated, the prince has his own way of governing the country, so you can't let me retire and enjoy happiness? The Prime Minister can retire, and so can the Emperor! ”

The word "retirement" is Han Yue's clearing.

I have only heard of officials asking for retirement, and I have never heard of the emperor making noise about retirement.

At this moment, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, the emperor has become extremely tall and majestic.

O Holy Monarch!

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "I and the prince, father and son are of the same heart. But some people will inevitably think too much, thinking that the crown prince holds the military power, and maybe one day it will be unfavorable to me. I am in a hurry to abdicate, but also to reassure the officials, don't worry about what to fear all day long. ”

For the sake of the stability of the court, the emperor was willing to abdicate, how selfless and great it was.

The front-row officials stood up one after another, leading the back-row officials to make a gesture together: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the ministers are ashamed!" ”

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes.

is about to abdicate, and he is still putting gold on his face.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "After the Ministry of Rites chooses an auspicious day of the zodiac, the abdication and the enthronement ceremony will be carried out together. Retreat! ”

……

In the next two or three days, the emperor made a fuss about his retirement, and even the people in the suburbs knew about it.

At first glance, there are only two reactions:

First, it's a rumor.

Second, the prince forced the palace.

As more details came out, the image of the emperor grew greater.

Especially the readers, they are about to hold Emperor Zhu to the sky.

Too learned.

Li Mengbo was praising the emperor: "Fellow students, since the Qin and Han dynasties, can there be a king who is truly willing to give in? It's all a trick to steal the country! To put it mildly, if you and I become emperors, are we willing to abdicate at the height of the Spring and Autumn Period? Today, the morality catches up with the ancient saint king, the first person in thousands of years! ”

Li Mengbo was a five-year flower explorer in Shaoxing, because his father was demoted to Hainan Island by Qin Hui, he refused the official position granted by the imperial court, and was degraded with his father as a tanhualang, and died of illness in Hainan at a young age.

"How can you catch up with the Ancient Saint King?"

Another Tai student named Zheng Shao said: "Today, his character is higher than that of the ancient saint king. Yao Shun Chan let it be because his body is old. His Majesty let Chan, but when he was in good health, he abdicated and made way because of the doubts of the country. is so selfless, isn't it already more than Yao Shun? ”

Virtue surpasses Yao Shun!

These words shook the crowd so much that they didn't even dare to think about it.

Wang Chongyang, who was transferred to Taixue to study, originally came to see the excitement, but he was also shocked and speechless at the moment.

But if you think about it, there is some truth to it.

Zheng Shao said: "How can such a holy monarch abdicate easily? We, all beings, should go and petition and persuade the Son of Heaven to take back his destiny. Who wants to go with me? ”

"Go together, go together!"

A group of students shouted.

Tai Xuezheng, who was watching the excitement on the side, hurriedly came over to dissuade: "You are all students, you must not interfere with the affairs of the imperial court, let alone obstruct the Son of Heaven!" ”

Immediately, a student named Pang Yunzhong retorted: "In the former Song Dynasty, His Royal Highness the current prince asked for the removal of the six thieves, and now the two of them are both imperial history to rescue the prince. The two of them were also students at that time, and they asked for the people's lives, why can't we? For the sake of the common people in the world, my generation should stand up! ”

"Please die for the common people!"

"Go together, go together!"

The school leaders couldn't stop it at all, and a group of students rushed to the imperial city in a hurry.

Wang Chongyang was also enthusiastic, and he followed in a daze.

"Knock knock knock!"

The drums were soon beaten, and the officials of the nearby yamen put down their work one after another and went out to check the situation with great curiosity.

The officials on duty came to inquire and after careful questioning, they could not persuade the students to leave, and they did not dare to support them, so they could only report to their superiors quickly.

At the moment when the layers were reported, many people also rushed to hear the news.

They didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they felt that Zhu Guoxiang was really a good emperor, so they also joined the knocking petition team.

When Zhu Guoxiang received the news, he immediately couldn't cry or laugh.

He took the imperial chariot to the Xuande Gate, and climbed the tower to persuade him to leave.

"The Emperor ascends!"

The guards and eunuchs shouted twice, and the crowd of students on the royal street looked up one after another.

"The Son of Heaven is here!"

"Official, you can't abdicate."

"Please retract your order."

"If the official family doesn't be the emperor, how can we live. Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "

“……”

Some people began to weep, and more and more people wept along, as if the sky above them was about to fall.

The atmosphere and mood are very strange.

A few years after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the people of Tokyo still remember what their days used to be.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty built construction every three or five major times, and from time to time demolished private houses to build mansions for favored ministers. Not to mention the outer city of Tokyo, even the inner city is often demolished, and the common people are homeless if they are not careful.

There are also prices in the capital, which are rising every year, and it is common to go hungry.

In the past few years since Zhu Guoxiang ascended the throne, the lives of the people of Tokyo have gradually improved. But they only talked about the emperor's immortal fate, and even ridiculed the emperor for liking married women, and gave Zhu Guoxiang the nicknames of "digging the earth" and "planting vegetables".

didn't seem to take Emperor Zhu too seriously, but felt that the crown prince was invincible.

But today, when I heard that the emperor was going to abdicate, the people panicked, and some people even cried loudly.

What if after the official family retires, the good life is gone?

Zhu Guoxiang looked at the city and cried, and subconsciously scratched his forehead.

I didn't do anything, why should all the people support me?

Besides, it's just a retirement, and it's not a death, so there's no need for you to cry in advance.

"Let them stop crying, I have something to say." Zhu Guoxiang said.

"The people are silent, listen to the officials' instructions!"

"The people are silent, listen to the officials' instructions!

“……”

One after another.

The officials who rushed to Yujie to maintain law and order ran back and forth and shouted in the crowd, and finally quieted the scene after a long time.

When the officials heard the news, they rushed to hear the news and stood everywhere to listen to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Guoxiang said loudly: "I am very happy for your retention. can win the support of the people, my emperor has not done it in vain in the past few years. If you are old, you must also look forward to enjoying happiness, and if you don't do anything, you will hold your grandson and play. The emperor is also a human being, and I also want to retire and hug my grandson to farm the land, how happy those days were. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at the emperor in a daze.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "In order to be a good emperor, I don't dare to relax for a moment, and it takes several hours to deal with government affairs every day. This emperor is too tired, for the sake of me being a good emperor, let me retire early and enjoy the blessings. After the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the state politics will not change greatly, and your life will get better and better! ”

Yes, to prevent the emperor from abdicating is to prevent the emperor from enjoying happiness.

It seems like it shouldn't be done.

The students thought more, and they respected Emperor Zhu more and more.

Look at it, what a good emperor, for the sake of the people, he is so tired that he doesn't want to be the Ninth Five-Year Emperor. As an emperor, he can completely leave all state affairs to a group of favored ministers to take care of, just like the emperor of the previous dynasty, and hide in the palace to be poor and luxurious.

But Emperor Zhu was unwilling to do this, and would rather work hard himself than govern the country and the people. is really physically and mentally tired, and he will never fall in love with the stack to be a faint king, but choose to abdicate and make way for Xian.

"The Holy Monarch is above, please be worshiped by the students!"

Li Mengbo took the lead in bowing to the emperor, and the students around him followed.

Zhu Guoxiang waved his hand and said, "Let's all go back." If you stop me from abdicating again, I'm going to be a faint king. ”

The emperor turned and left, and the people dispersed one after another.

The Seljuk envoys who had rushed to hear the news, after carefully inquiring about the situation, all stood there looking at each other.

Abu even had tears in his eyes: "What a great monarch this is! I want to spread the good name of the Ming Peach Blossom Stone Khan to the East and the West, and he deserves to be praised with the most beautiful poetry. ”

His Majesty the Great Emperor Zhu is returning to the harem at this moment.

He jumped off the royal chariot with brisk steps, and hurried to play mahjong with the concubines.

Although he has not abdicated, his office hours have been halved. It is also said that it is necessary to let the prince be familiar with government affairs, so that the state government can be smoothly handed over.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is persecuted, is now carefully reviewing the official documents.
