Among the civil and military ministers, there are many old faces and many new faces.

After meeting them one by one, Zhu Qizhen, who was already half cold in his heart, was completely hopeless.

In less than two years, all the important positions have been replaced by Zhu Qiyu's people.

At the same time that Zhu Qizhen met with the civil and military ministers, Zhu Qiyu also met with Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Baoding Bo Liang Xuan, and Deputy Chief Soldier Fang Ying one by one.

Wang Ji, Liang Xuan, and Fang Ying finally met the most absurd and unobtrusive emperor since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Qiyu didn't talk about vain things, and in just a few words, he fully affirmed the merits of the three of them, especially the work of pacifying the Miao Chaos.

Seeing that the emperor made it clear that he would personally take full responsibility for the defeat fought by Ping Miao, the three of them were completely relieved.

After everyone has worshiped the Emperor, they will enter the next process.

The two brothers, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, walked hand in hand on the high altar.

Zhu Qiyu ordered people to build a high platform on both sides of the road outside Xizhimen, one on the left and one on the right. One of them is Jingguan, and the head of the wara won is based on it, and the immortal merit of Emperor Zhaojingtai to turn the tide is used. One of them is the altar, which is used to pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers who were buried by the emperor.

and those who were also brought to the altar were also first. Boyan Timur was also invited to the altar to observe the ceremony.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the rows of inscriptions and tablets, and then looking at the white bones on the Beijing viewing platform opposite, Zhu Qizhen was even more frightened.

Although Zhu Qizhen never cared about the innocent soldiers who died on the battlefield, even the British public Zhang Fu, in Zhu Qizhen's heart, was just an old immortal who could only kneel in front of Wang Zhen and bow down and confess his guilt.

But the atmosphere in front of me is in place, and the heart is weak after all. Even if he has no heart or lungs, Zhu Qizhen is still in a cold sweat at this time, sweating profusely.

Zhu Qiyu did not speak out, but dressed in princely clothes and holding a jade seal, came to the emperor, knelt on the ground and was willing to ask the emperor to restore the throne.

Although whether it is Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu, or civil and military officials, they all know that it is impossible for the emperor to abdicate, and it is even more impossible for the emperor to restore, but the resignation and three concessions must still go through the motions.

The two brothers, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, performed very hard.

Zhu Qiyu pleaded with tears in his eyes for the eldest brother to restore, and insisted repeatedly.

This time, Zhu Qizhen also knelt down and resolutely pushed back.

The two men soon resigned more than three times, and the ministers had to come forward again to persuade them.

King Min and King of Dongwu County represent the clan relatives; Wang Ji and Wang Wen represent Wenchen; Wei Guogong and An Guogong represent Xungui; Kneeling on the ground and shouting: "The throne of heaven has been decided, please don't push it back." ”

The civil and military officials also knelt on the ground and chanted in unison.

Zhu Qizhen also stood up and announced in front of the civil and military officials: "I am ashamed of Sheji, I should have degraded myself to a commoner and went to Fengyang to guard the spirits of my ancestors."

However, the emperor insisted on not allowing it, and it was difficult for me to disobey.

However, I am guilty, and I cannot but give an explanation to the subjects of the world.

It is to issue an edict here today, retreat to the emperor, and think about it quietly in Nangong.

In the future, you should assist the emperor with your heart, and achieve prosperity as soon as possible, and I will not be shaken. ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen's voice fell, several important ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

The civil and military officials could only shout along.

Then the tens of thousands of soldiers present also shouted in unison.

Its momentum is deafening, and it makes people shake their hearts and can't help themselves.

The main reason is that the deterrent power of these tens of thousands of emperors' descendants is too strong, even if there are still many people among the civil and military officials who are dissatisfied with the emperor's demotion, but the general trend is like this, and it is irretrievable.

In the face of the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains, no one could withstand the tremendous pressure and stand up to fight the emperor.

Things went a lot smoother than expected.

After Zhu Qizhen personally announced the demotion, Hu Hu stood up and read out the emperor's edict.

It is said that the edict should be read by Yu Shiyue, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, or Chen Xun, a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

But Zhu Qiyu personally designated Hu Hu, just because this was the only living among the five auxiliary ministers left by Xuanzong to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen's ruling career began with Hu Hui's auxiliary government and ended with Hu Hui's reading of the edict of guilt, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

Hu Hui also had mixed feelings in his heart, and read out the edict word by word. The edict written by Zhu Qizhen himself clearly proclaimed to the world, and he surrendered himself to the emperor, and his younger brother Zhu Qiyu inherited the temple and ruled the country.

At this point, the status of the monarch and the minister was officially determined.

According to the etiquette law, the Emperor Taishang is greater than the emperor, and the emperor is greater than the Gongrang Emperor.

If we meet again in the future, it should be Zhu Qizhen who saluted Zhu Qiyu.

After the edict was read, Zhu Qizhen wanted to kneel down and salute Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu is not stupid, Zhu Qizhen is going to roast me on the fire. If I really accepted Zhu Qizhen's kneeling as a matter of course, then what would the people of the world think of me.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu knelt faster than Zhu Qizhen, and insisted that he should bow down to his brother in the future, and set it as a rule.

The two tugged again, and Zhu Qiyu reluctantly reached a consensus with his brother, stood up and announced to the civil and military officials:

"According to the etiquette law, it should have been appropriate for me to bow down to my brother, but the eldest brother insisted on it, thinking that it was the director's law to meet each other in a peaceful manner.

It is a future etiquette, and my brother and I are both equal etiquette.

My eldest brother and I are like one flesh and blood, and in the future, we should also worship together and not slack off. ”

Zhu Qiyu means that the etiquette of the hundred officials to the two emperors is exactly the same, which is acceptable to everyone.

The ministers of the Emperor faction did not have any opinions in their hearts, and the two saints stood side by side and treated each other equally, which was already the best result that could be obtained.

Under the auspices of Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, and Hu Hui, the process that should be taken was completed.

Next, it's time to sacrifice the prisoners.

For civil and military officials, the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners is much more relaxed and pleasant than the Zen ceremony.

When today, Zi and Gong let the emperor sit side by side, and the civil and military officials are lined up on both sides. Hu Hu, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, jointly presided over the ceremony of presenting prisoners.

The two brothers, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, got together and exchanged heads and made a gesture of intimacy and friendship. The next ceremony of the prisoner sacrifice was nothing for the two of them, and the brothers only needed to look down from the ground.

After a short time, he was also escorted up.

To the surprise of Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, they were also stripped of their shirts, tied with a few thorns, and kicked by several eunuchs.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned when he saw this, is this to be guilty of Jing petitioning?

To tell the truth, this is the first time Zhu Qiyu has seen a live-action version of Jing Plea.

I have to sigh that the ministers are really good at taking advantage of loopholes. The sheep ceremony was forcibly vetoed by Zhu Qiyu, so the ministers were guilty of asking for guilt.

And on top of the high platform, there is also a row of thorns. After ascending the high platform first, you need to kneel on top of the thorns and walk all the way to the front of the two saints.

Zhu Qiyu felt that it was a bit too much, killing people was not too much, why did he have to be so humiliated, so he looked at Wang Wen.

Wang Wen shook his head imperceptibly, indicating that it was not what he meant.

Zhu Qiyu was a little helpless, so he had to look at Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
