Chapter 507: Sitting on the Qilin Throne
readx;
In the second year of Jiajing, on the eighth day of September, late autumn, there was rain. According to the records www.biquge.info of the Yellow Calendar, this day is suitable for travel, sacrifice, relocation, and marriage.
It was on this day that Yang Tinghe, one of the six major governors, died at the intersection of the street outside Xiaoyao Villa. The cold rain washed over the corpse, and it took two hours before it was discovered by the people of the Joyful Villa.
Jiang Xia ordered someone to get Yang Tinghe's body into Xiaoyao Villa, and after carefully examining the cause of Yang Tinghe's death, Jiang Xia didn't say much. Instead, he ordered someone to prepare a high-quality shroud and a coffin. Then he sent someone to invite the senior monks of Faxiang Temple, and prepared to do a ritual for Yang Tinghe.
No matter what grievances and grievances everyone had before they were alive, since they are dead, it means that everything is over.
Looking at the wound on Yang Tinghe's neck, it should have been fatally stabbed by a master.
Jiang Xia guessed that this should be the work of the so-called Phoenix Lord.
Yang Tinghe is now discredited, and he is accused of rebellion, so it can be said that there is no value at all. Lord Feng killed Yang Tinghe, and sent his body to the street corner of Xiaoyao Villa, making it clear that he wanted to disgust him Jiang Xia.
In the future, when someone talks about this incident, they will also say that Jiang Xia complained privately and committed suicide to Yang Tinghe.
Although such remarks did not have much impact on Jiang Xia, they were enough to damage his reputation. Therefore, Jiangxia generously prepared a coffin shroud for him, and by the way, he could also solve this problem.
Yang Tinghe died, so all kinds of battles in the court basically came to an end.
But now Jiang Xia is even more vigilant, because he knows that behind Yang Tinghe, there is a phoenix lord who is not weaker than him in the slightest.
In the past, he fought with Yang Ting, at least he knew who the specific target was, which was easy to watch out for and easy to fight back.
But now it's different, Yang Tinghe died. The identity of the Phoenix Lord is unknown, which means that now the Phoenix Lord is in the dark and Jiangxia is in the light.
Lord Feng could attack Jiang Xia at any time, but Jiang Xia didn't know where to fight back.
Until the identity of the Phoenix Lord is thoroughly figured out, such a situation cannot be changed. Therefore, Jiang Xia simply stopped thinking about Lord Feng's affairs, but had to deal with the few things in front of him in advance.
Before patronizing and Yang Tinghe, but the real re-issuance of Daming treasure banknotes and the opening of customs trade were all at a standstill.
Counting the time, it's time for these things to be on the agenda.
As soon as the morning dawn dewed, the hundred officials were outside the left and right doors, and began to form a team according to the order of grades. The third drum has been beaten, which means that the military flag guards have entered the second gate to arrange first, and then wait for the bell to ring, and the hundred officials have entered the palace.
A carriage came to a stop outside the noon gate, and then Jiang Xia stepped down from the carriage.
At this moment, the bell rang, and the left and right doors opened.
According to the rules, at this time, the hundred officials should immediately enter the left and right doors, but everyone didn't dare to move, and they all stayed in place.
Jiang Xia shook the hem of his official uniform, and then walked towards the place where the hundred officials were standing.
Jiang Xia said a little embarrassedly: "Let your colleagues wait, this official is late, it's really a sin." ”
"The adult's clever calculation, coinciding with the bell ringing, not a minute earlier or a minute later, this is great wisdom, not late, the adult is polite. An imperial historian said with a smile.
Jiang Xia smiled, and he didn't know what to say. This sycophant is too obvious.
Although the rule is that the bell rings before entering the court, everyone knows the rules of the early dynasty, and the hundred officials need to go to the left and right in advance to close the door in order to sort and organize the team.
Jiang Xia only came now, and it was obvious that he was late.
A late arrival is actually said to be great wisdom, and if the official makes a sycophant, it is really doing everything.
"It's just that adults have a lot of opportunities every day, and every moment is extremely rare. Adults don't waste any time, no wonder they can become ministers of the Great Ming Pillar Kingdom. ”
"That's it, my lord is wise......"
Hearing that one person was patting on the back, the rest of the ministers didn't dare to lag behind, and they all patted Jiang Xia on the back.
This sycophant is an art, some sycophants can be heard as soon as they hear it, and some sycophants are very implicit. However, no matter what kind of sycophant it is, there is no real difference between high and low.
Could it be that those who openly open their eyes and tell nonsense do not know that their sycophants are extremely superficial and disgusting? But the reason why they do this is actually because they are sending a signal, a signal of surrender.
In front of everyone, patting such a shallow and hypocritical sycophant is like swearing allegiance in front of everyone. Therefore, such frank sycophants not only cannot be said to be hypocritical and ignorant, but they must be said to be intelligent, decisive and courageous.
Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and patted the first imperial historian who patted his ass, then stretched out his hand and hugged his fists to everyone and said: "Colleagues, don't praise this official again, the bell has sounded, we should enter the court as soon as possible, don't let the emperor wait for us to be courtiers." ”
"Your Excellency...... Adults ...... high-minded"
"That's it, my lord knows the righteousness, is loyal and patriotic, and is really a rare good minister through the ages. ”
In the sound of sycophants, Jiang Xia went all the way to the front. Seeing Yang Yiqing, Wang Qiong and Xia Yuanming standing at the forefront, Jiang Xia smiled and arched his hand to the three of them.
Yang Yiqing said unceremoniously: "What's the matter? Acting Officer Jiang Zai is getting bigger and bigger, but his memory is getting worse and worse, and he has even forgotten the days of the early dynasty?"
Jiang Xia glanced at Yang Yiqing with some embarrassment, hugged his fists and bowed down, and said, "Lord Yang is a lesson, and what is a lesson is a lesson." ”
"Okay, don't delay any longer, hurry up and go to court. Yang Yiqing urged.
Jiang Xia nodded, Wang Qiong and Xia Yuanming glanced at each other, and then bowed to Jiang Xia with their fists, and shouted: "See Lord Zaizhi." ”
Jiang Xia glanced at the two of them and bowed slightly.
Wang Qiong and Xia Yuanming's attitude had already been expected by Jiang Xia.
Yang Tinghe is dead, which means that there is no leader in the Yang family.
Originally, after Jiang Xia became the ruler, the Yang system was already weaker than the Jiang system. Now that Yang Tinghe is dead, the Yang family is not far from collapse. If Wang Qiong and Xia Yuanming hadn't made their attitude clear to Jiang Xia as soon as possible, then even if Jiang Xia was unwilling to settle accounts after the autumn, the people of the Jiang family would no longer tolerate the two of them continuing to stay in their current positions.
The entire Ming Dynasty now unceremoniously said that Jiangxia is the real one person under ten thousand people. Even the "under one person" is still debatable, because he is still the emperor's concubine. The emperor is not yet in power, and he is unable to balance Jiangxia at all.
If you say that Jiang Xia is the real person in power in the Ming Dynasty at present, then I believe that no one will have an opinion.
After entering the Taihe Palace, soon after the hundred officials stood up, they heard the royal attendant shouting: "The emperor has arrived." ”
Hundreds of officials kneel and worship, and the mountains shout long live.
Zhu Zaijiang walked out of the company of the honor guard and walked up to the square platform step by step.
It has been more than two years since he ascended the throne, and as he grew up and saw more and more on the throne, Zhu Zaijiang looked more and more mature, and he had the momentum of an emperor.
Zhu Zaijiang glanced at the ministers, unusually, and said in person: "All the secretaries, be flat!"
In the past, because Zhu Zaijiang's voice was not loud enough, this sentence was said by the attendants, but now Zhu Zaijiang said it himself, which suddenly made the ministers have a feeling of this, "Oh, we still have an emperor." ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor. When the ministers had finished speaking, they stood up.
According to the previous rules, at this time, Jiang Xia should have asked on his behalf: "The Zhongqing family has something to do, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”。 But before Jiang Xia could speak, Zhu Zaijiang said first: "Huang Ren, declare my holy decree." ”
"The slave obeys. Huang Ren, who was standing next to the square platform, took out a copy of the holy decree from the tray held by the little eunuch on the side, and he opened the holy decree and read: "Jiang Zai takes the decree." ”
Jiang Xia was slightly startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Jiang Xia takes the order." ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: the first emperor Qin Feng Gu Ming, Taifu, when the dynasty is in charge of Jiangxia......"
After a series of words similar to "the pillar of the country, the minister of the society, the humerus of me" and so on, the key words at the end turned out to be: "The minister of the imperial seal auxiliary country, give me the throne of the unicorn, and listen to the state affairs on behalf of me." ”
After Huang Ren finished reading the word "Qin this", when Jiang Xia was still stunned and did not react, a chair with a backrest inlaid with white jade and a unicorn head carved on the armrests on both sides was actually carried up to the square platform by four eunuchs and placed next to Zhu Zaijiang's dragon chair.
"This ......" Jiang Xia was completely shocked.
What does it mean to be an auxiliary state? The monarch is young, or the new monarch is the heir, and he is appointed by a minister with a different surname to assist in the administration of the state. After the monarch came to power, he ended the order of assisting Xiangzan.
This auxiliary state is equivalent to a temporary entruster of government affairs. It's actually not much different from the Minister of Gu Ming. However, the difference is that the Minister of Gu Ming is a group of several people who form a temporary political group, while the auxiliary state is a person who temporarily takes over the power, and the auxiliary state has the right to temporarily form a political power group.
Well, with the power that Jiang Xia currently holds, it is nothing to seal an auxiliary country.
But what is the reason for this to sit on the throne of the unicorn? Since ancient times, I have never heard of an emperor letting a minister sit on a square platform, right? What is the difference between this and being an emperor?
And the last item, on behalf of me to play state affairs.
This is tantamount to handing over the imperial power to Jiangxia.
If all this were to be borne by someone else, I am afraid that I would be very happy.
But on Jiang Xia's body, he secretly complained.
Zhu Zaijiang didn't know if it was instructed by someone or his own whim. It's just that in this way, his reputation for authoritarianism can no longer escape.
No matter what Zhu Zaijiang's intentions were, people outside would think that Jiang Xia forced Zhu Zaijiang to do so. After all, no one would believe that an eight-year-old boy would know what it means to be a royal feudal auxiliary, to sit on the throne and to play on behalf of the ministers.
After Huang Ren finished reading, he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Lord Fuguo, take the order......" r1058
