On this day, the sky in Jingshi was overcast, and the cloudy sky seemed to be pressed very low, which made people a little breathless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The news of the emperor's death, which has been rumored for several days, has finally been confirmed today.
The civil and military officials of the Beijing division entered the palace and were declared dead by the emperor.
The civil and military officials wailed in unison, although some people were really sad and wept, but in fact, most of them just made painful expressions, screaming with their mouths open, and their appearances were extremely false.
Yang Tinghe held the edict written by Zhu Houzhao in his hand and read it, which was a real edict of succession. handed it to Zhong Bin early in the morning, and then took the edict of succession from Zhong Bin.
According to the content of the edict, it was announced that Zhu Houzhao's only son Zhu Yujiang would succeed to the throne and change his name to Zhu Zaijiang. The reason for this change is that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang set a list of characters when he was alive, which should be: "Gao Zhan Qi sees you, and Hou Zai Yi Changyu." ā
Zhu Houzhao is a "thick" generation, so Zhu Yujiang should be a "carrying" generation.
It doesn't matter what his name was before he ascended the throne, but if he ascends the throne as an emperor, he must come according to his seniority. Otherwise, the Zongren Mansion will not approve it, and the civil and military officials will also criticize this matter.
Zhu Houzhao's temple name is Wuzong, and this has not changed. The nickname was inscribed for him by Jiang Xia himself, as "Chengtianda Dao Yingsu Ruizhe Zhaode Xiangong Hongwen Si Xiaoyi Emperor".
Zhu Yujiang was announced...... I'm afraid it will have to be changed to Zhu Zaijiang in the future. After announcing his succession, Yang Tinghe immediately followed the arrangement made by him and Jiang Xia in the morning, and on the grounds that the emperor was young, he used the name of the first emperor Zhu Houzhao to order the six ministers who took care of his life.
The list had already been set before, Taifu Jiangxia, Yang Yiqing, the head of the household department, Li Dongyang, the former first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, the secretary of the ministry, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, and Xia Yuanming, the left capital of the Imperial Palace.
Among these six people, except for Jiang Xia, all of them are highly respected people who have been officials for many years, so it is not surprising that they are ministers who take care of their lives. However, fortunately, Zhu Houzhao had already named Jiang Xia as the prince and concubine of the current dynasty before he died, so although it was a bit inconsistent for him to be the minister of Gu Ming at the age of thirty, it was also reasonable.
In this way, the new chapter of Daming began again.
Zhu Zaijiang has to wait until he is sixteen years old to marry the queen before he can take the government, and he is only five years old now, so there are still eleven years to count.
When sending Zhu Houzhao's body to Kangling, Jiang Xia stood in front of the Holy Name Monument and held Zhu Zaijiang's hand, and said to the Holy Name Tablet seriously: "Second child, don't worry, I will shelter him from the wind and rain for eleven years." ā
After the funeral of Zhu Houzhao was completed, Zhu Zaijiang officially ascended the throne and changed the era name to ...... Jiajing.
This should have been Zhu Houxi's year name, but it turned out to be used by Zhu Zaijiang. History is so magical, no matter how you change it, maybe it will be fine-tuned and try to make it move forward the way it was.
Since he has become a minister, it is naturally impossible to return to Yangzhou.
Jiang Xia arranged for someone to renovate the Xiaoyao Villa, and then wrote a letter to arrange for someone to go to Yangzhou to escort several of his wives to Beijing.
At this moment, Jiang Xia was waiting at the gate of the city with people, because today should be the day when his master Li Dongyang arrived in Beijing.
Zhu Zaijiang ascended the throne at the age of five, and did not come into power until he was sixteen. During this period, it is equivalent to that the Ming Dynasty has no emperor, and only relies on Jiangxia and their six ministers to take care of the world's affairs.
With Jiang Xia's prestige and foundation in the court, it is not comparable to Yang Tinghe at all, so Jiang Xia will tire Li Dongyang and let his old man go out of the mountain again.
With the support of Li Dongyang, a veteran of the Four Dynasties, Jiangxia can really gain a firm foothold in the court. Not to mention the stability of Yang Tinghe, at least it can be said to be evenly divided.
Outside the city of Jingshi, next to the Yongding River, an old man was sitting on the shore fishing. Behind the old man was a field of wild meadows. The grass has not been tended to by anyone all year round, so it has grown more than a meter tall.
The wind stirred the weeds around, and suddenly the weeds were removed, and another old man walked out.
If Jiang Xia was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the person who had just come out of the weeds was none other than Yang Tinghe, one of the six ministers who cared for his life today.
Yang Tinghe glanced at the old man who was fishing by the river, and then immediately walked over.
Behind the old man, Yang Tinghe did not speak, but stood quietly behind the old man, as if he was afraid of the fish that the old man was about to take the bait.
After a while, about the time of a cup of tea, the old man finally spoke first.
"You don't need to blame yourself, you don't blame you for this incident, you can do your best to get into today's situation. The emperor was menacing, not only had already grasped the military power, but also summoned Yang Yiqing to Beijing, obviously preparing to cultivate his power in the court and then take charge of the government.
We weren't ready in the first place, and the emperor was ready to exchange the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp with the Xuanfu border army at this time, if he really let him do it, then our previous plans and arrangements would be in vain.
acted in a hurry, and finally able to complete the current situation, the husband worked hard. ā
The old man said these words slowly, and as he said these words slowly, Yang Tinghe seemed to be slowly relieved. He bowed slightly and asked in a low voice, "Then what should we do next?"
The old man looked up at the sky, and said as if he was a little out of bounds: "The wind is light and the clouds are light, this is a good day." ā
After speaking, the old man pulled the fishing rod and saw a fish hanging from the hook. The old man took the fish off the hook and said, "No matter how cunning a fish is, it can never be better than a patient fisherman." I've been letting the bait go down for two hours, during which time it has moved my bait five times, and I haven't pulled the rod. Do you know why?"
"Because...... It didn't bite deep enough?" replied Yang Tinghe tentatively.
The old man nodded, reached out and threw the fish back into the river, and then got up and walked away without taking the rod.
As he walked, the old man said, "Jiefu, don't be in a hurry, take your time......"
After saying that, the old man had already lifted the weeds and walked in, and disappeared.
At the east gate of the capital division, Jiang Xia, who had been waiting for more than three hours, finally saw Jun Yang who came in a carriage.
Jiang Xia, who was sitting at the tea stall next to the city gate, immediately ran over, waved his hand and shouted, "Eh, here!"
Jun Yang turned his head and immediately stopped the carriage. He turned his head to the carriage and said, "Master, Lord Jiang is here to pick you up." ā
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and although he was old, Li Dongyang, who was still red and full of spirits, got out of the carriage.
Jiang Xia hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hands to help Li Dongyang get out of the carriage, and said at the same time: "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss you." The apprentice was forced to have no choice this time, so he asked the master to go out of the mountain, and asked the master not to blame. ā
Jun Yang jumped down from the carriage and immediately took a small wooden stool for Li Dongyang to step on and get out of the carriage.
Li Dongyang held Jiang Xia's hand and walked down from the carriage, and after standing on the ground, Li Dongyang looked at Jiang Xia and nodded, sighing: "Okay, in just a few years, the little guy in the Qinglou back then is now one of the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty." The most proud thing in my life is to accept you as an apprentice. ā
Jiang Xia, who had always been very thick-skinned, was a little embarrassed by Li Dongyang's praise like this, and waved his hand and said: "Master is too famous, you and I really have no advantages except for being romantic, handsome and chic, young and rich, and powerful." If you compliment me like that, I'll blush. ā
Li Dongyang glanced at Jiang Xia angrily, and said with a straight face: "They are already first-class members of the court, how can they still not be in shape?"
Jiang Xia stuck out his tongue and said, "The apprentice is only like this in front of your old man, and ...... in front of outsiders."
"Jiang Xia!"
Suddenly, Jiang Xia heard a loud shout, he turned his head to look, and saw Yin Jiaojiao crossing her waist and looking at him. Jiang Xia's whole person seemed to have a spirit, and he immediately turned to Qian Juexing and Xiao Shu beside him and said, "Jue Xing, Brother Xiao, please escort my master back to Xiaoyao Mountain Villa first, and I will come back immediately after I take care of something." ā
"Master, apprentice, this ......" Jiang Xia looked at Yin Jiaojiao embarrassedly and said to Li Dongyang embarrassedly.
Li Dongyang shook his head angrily and waved his hand: "Go ahead." ā
"Yes, Master, the apprentice will retire first......
Jiang Xia had just finished saluting Li Dongyang, and Yin Jiaojiao over there saw that Jiang Xia was ignoring herself, so she shouted loudly: "Jiang Xia, you peeked at me taking a bath, and you still touched my ...... My ......"
Jiang Xia suddenly felt like he was going to sweat, and three black lines had already appeared in his head.
As soon as the surrounding pedestrians heard a girl shouting that a man peeked at her taking a bath, they immediately stopped and looked over, and then saw that Yin Jiaojiao looked sweet and lovely, and at this moment she said that the other party had touched her......
The eyes of the surrounding onlookers were shining, and seeing that Yin Jiaojiao hadn't said anything that had touched her for a long time, a man couldn't help but ask: "Girl, where did he touch you, you point it out and I'll take a look." ā
"Go home and see your mother, and be careful that this girl castrates you if you talk nonsense!"
Jiang Xia had already rushed over at this moment, grabbed Yin Jiaojiao's hand and left, he said in a low voice: "Auntie, I was wrong, can't I be wrong? ā
"In public, I'm the one who is disgraced, and no one knows you anyway. ā
As soon as Yin Jiaojiao finished saying this, someone suddenly said: "That girl's name is Jiang Xia just now, isn't this one of the six ministers who care for life today?
Jiang Xia glanced at Yin Jiaojiao angrily, and Yin Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue playfully.
Jiang Xia immediately turned his head and said, "No, I'm not that Jiang Xia ......"
"Oh, he was originally the one who peeked at other girls' baths, Dengzi, a dead ghost...... "RG."
