Chapter Eighty-Nine: Abdication
Last time, I talked about urging the carpenter to use great mana to send Zhu Youxiao to the queen's bedroom, and happened to meet the queen getting up to make up, so the surprise was inexplicable.
"Your Majesty? Emperor...... Emperor! Is it really you? My Emperor! Woo woo...... "When Zhang Yan, who was receiving the palace maids' respective dressing up, suddenly saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao who fell from the sky in front of her, she was immediately stunned, and even the palace maids were so frightened that they screamed and fell to their knees.
Because the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, had long been sick in bed, and was suspected of being terminally ill by the "Water Gu" (schistosomiasis) because of the bulge in his abdomen, and the days were numbered, so when the women saw this, they thought that the emperor was dead, and all that appeared here was just a ghost, and even the eunuchs at the door who accompanied them were half frightened to death when they heard the news.
"Haha, I'm not dead! I am living well, how can I die? Hey. Zhu Youxiao saw that Zhang Yan was frightened, so he hurriedly explained: "It was an 'immortal master' who saved my life, and he also accepted me as a disciple." Master, the apprentice knows that you are nearby, so please show up quickly. ”
"Haha, you kid, you always like to pull Lao Tzu out as a shield when something happens? Well, then show up. As soon as the words fell, a flash of light flashed, and next to Zhu Youxiao, there was a strange man dressed in a flat-headed ordinary costume, who was smiling and looking at the panicked queen Zhang Yan.
"Yan'er, come and kowtow to Master, he saved my life!" Zhu Youxiao spoke excitedly, but he still recalled the feeling of Fang Caifei in his heart.
"Zhang Yan greets 'Master', oh no, meets 'Immortal Master'! Thank you 'Immortal Master' for saving your husband's life! After Zhang Yan's police were surprised, he secretly reached out and pinched himself, feeling very painful, and made sure that he was not dreaming, so he quickly got up and bowed down, and at the same time ordered a group of palace maids and eunuchs to kneel behind their backs.
"Haha, get up, time is pressing, don't say much, wait for the next few stops, wait until you get to the court, and the concubines will know."
As soon as the words fell, the carpenter continued to pinch the incantation, and with a wave of his sleeves, he released two mana, turning the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao and the Empress Zhang Yan into a flurry of wind and flying straight to the concubine's dormitory at the next stop. In fact, although there are many "attendants" in the harem, there are only nine women who have really had sex with Zhu Youxiao and have been pregnant, namely Empress Zhang, Concubine Wang Liang, Concubine Duan Chun, Concubine Fan Hui, Concubine Li Cheng, Concubine Ren Rong, Concubine Zhang Yu, Feng Guiren, and Hu Guiren.
However, among the concubines of the Ming Dynasty, only the "high-ranking attendants" of the rank of "concubine" and above were eligible for the "canonization ceremony" presided over by the emperor, otherwise they could only rely on an edict to identify their identity. Therefore, the carpenter only sent eight of them away and went straight to the court, because Concubine Zhang Yu had starved to death.
As for the remaining 41 "ladies" who entered the "campaign final" with Empress Zhang at the same time, even if they were lucky enough to be favored by Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, they were not eligible for the "canonization ceremony" because they were not pregnant, and they only relied on Zhu Youxiao's edict to determine their status, so they were not among the people who rushed to the court this time.
The titles of the concubines of the Ming Dynasty are: Queen, Imperial Concubine, Guifei, Xian Concubine, Shufei, Zhuang Concubine, Jing Fei, Hui Fei, Shun Concubine, Kang Fei, Ning Fei, De Concubine, Virtuous Concubine, Zhuang Concubine, Li Concubine, Hui Concubine, An Concubine, He Concubine, Concubine Kang, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Beauty, Talent, Waiter, Lady, etc.
As for the "honorific title" that the concubines can have, it is to express reverence and praise, and it is generally awarded to the first emperor and the second concubine when the new monarch ascends the throne, and their titles are "Empress Dowager", "Empress Dowager", "Imperial Concubine" or "Imperial Concubine". The "emblem" is a "cliché" that adds a "cliché" to praise virtue before the "honorific title", which can be awarded many times, but only some concubines can get it. This mainly depends on the contribution value of the concubine to the royal family, such as the emperor's "biological mother", "concubine", and "adoptive mother".
At this time, the ministers in the court had been waiting impatiently, because since Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was privately summoned by Emperor Tianqi yesterday, all kinds of rumors have spread in the palace. Although the previous government was controlled by the "9,900-year-old" Wei Zhongxian and his "eater" Hakka clan, many ministers did not buy it.
At this time, the high throne was still empty, and no one dared to sit on the seats on the left and right sides that originally belonged to Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan. Of course, including the letter king Zhu Youzhen, the ministers of all sizes in the three provinces and six departments in the interior are just habitually in different ranks, as if they are waiting for something? Go without saying.
"The emperor has arrived!" With the shrill voice of the male duck of the attendant eunuch, the ministers knelt down and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted a tsunami: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" At this time, Emperor Zhu of the Apocalypse led a group of concubines to return to the throne under the guidance of the palace maids and eunuchs, and reigned over the world.
As is customary, the next step is for the emperor to return the salute and say, "All the ministers are even", so that these ministers can stand up and speak or present their own recitals. However, unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not say anything, but instead motioned to the eunuch with his eyes as if nothing happened, and asked him to continue: "The queen is auspicious! ”
'Huh?' The queen is auspicious'? What do you mean? This ......" Many ministers were interrupted by these inexplicable words, and suddenly became puzzled, so they lay on the ground and looked left and right, exchanged heads and ears, and talked a lot, which made people laugh. However, Zhu Youxiao took the opportunity to take Zhang Yan in his arms.
"All the ministers are flat!" Just when the ministers felt inexplicable, the Emperor of the Apocalypse held Empress Zhang's waist and shouted with all his strength, and suddenly it was like a thunderbolt, completely suppressing the whispers of the ministers, so he laughed and said: "I am the king of the world again, haha." ”
"Your Majesty, you ...... ...... your dragon body? As soon as the ministers stood up straight, they couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting in a high position, and saw that he was not only fierce and fierce, but also full of anger in his speech, and knew that it was likely to be "returning to the light", maybe it was today, and he would definitely not live tomorrow!
However, seeing him again, he ignored everyone's eyes and directly took the queen in his arms and caressed it in public, which suddenly made people feel that things might not be as they seemed? Sure enough, I saw Zhu Youxiao say loudly: "I am not a good emperor, so I decided to take advantage of this early dynasty to clearly designate the heir to the throne." ”
"What? This ...... "The ministers originally thought that they had misheard, after all, there were rumors in the palace that among the emperor's many concubines, there were two "electors" who were pregnant, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew better than anyone else that this must be a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives, because he had suffered from severe impotence before and could not have sex at all.
"The emperor of Fengtian said: 'Believe in the king Zhu Youzhen, loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, benevolence and protection of the country, should be Yao Shun. From now on, the world will be all under Zhu Youzhen, admire this! The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has decreed the Apocalypse! As soon as the words fell, the attendant eunuch walked down the steps quickly, stuffing the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse into the arms of King Xin.
Such a sudden scene suddenly made the entire court seem to explode, only the king of letters, Zhu Youzhen, was still standing in a daze, staring at the edict inserted in his arms, and let the surrounding ministers and colleagues come forward to congratulate but were indifferent. "King Xin, why don't you hurry up and receive the decree of thanksgiving? Thank you! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the attendant eunuch hurriedly reminded him, and then trotted up the steps and stood behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the concubines again.
"Minister, Zhu Youzhen knocks on Longen! I will not dishonor the life of the royal brother! Zhu Youzhen hurriedly knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute to Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was sitting in a high position. In fact, since he accepted the abdication edict of his imperial brother Zhu Youxiao, he knew that he was destined to be the new emperor, so he could no longer kneel and kowtow.
But if you don't bow down and don't respect the imperial power, it is appropriate to do a "military salute" in comparison with the two, after all, their ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founder of the Ming Dynasty, "Emperor Taizu Gao" is fighting the world on the horse, and he just relies on his strength to drive the invincible Mongols back to the grassland!
"Haha, my brother, come up and sit on this dragon chair. You are the new emperor of my Ming Dynasty, and you will reign over the world from now on! Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao stood up with the waist of Queen Zhang Yan, and beckoned to Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters with an impulsive but tangled face at the bottom of the stairs: "Come, the country can't be without a king for a day!" ”
