Wang Wen and the others hurriedly listened to the holy decree.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I have redefined the generations of the two crosses for our Qi Palace, which are: Wen Yajun Sixian, Wusheng Dao Yongji, Zhirui Ancestor Huiyuan, and Liangshan Sect can be long."

The eldest son, Zhu Wenfang, is the son of Qi Shizi.

The second son, Zhu Wenjing, the king of Han, fiefdom Xi'an.

The third son, Zhu Wenying, the king of Wei, was a fief of Dongsheng Acropolis.

The fourth son, Zhu Wenjun, the king of Ning, and the fief Daning. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other again, it seemed that the emperor's absurdity had been committed again, and he wanted to break away from the lineage of King Yan and stand on his own.

The genius scholars who read poetry and books can naturally see that this is the lineage of the new King of Qi that the emperor used the lineage of the old King Qi as the basis and grabbed part of the lineage of Prince Yiwen.

Fortunately, the emperor's thoughts are not completely imaginative, and there are still traces to follow: the emperor is dedicated to the son of Han Tian, the most recognized dynasty is the Han Dynasty, and the most recognized emperor is Han.

Therefore, it is easy to understand that the first character at the beginning of the lineage is 'Wen'.

Therefore, the second son immediately occupied the position of King Han, which is reasonable.

As for the third and fourth sons to the remote Dongsheng and Daning, it shows that the emperor is still public and is thinking about the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Wen and He Yi all kept their heads shut and didn't speak, and Luo Tong, Jiang Yuan, and He Wenyuan didn't say anything.

Shen Yi, Zhou Chen, and Xu Youzhen of the Ministry of Household and Industry have been obsessed with counting money behind the emperor's ass recently, let alone talking.

Confiscated so many vassal kings, nobles, and military generals, Shen Yi, the head of the household, smiled from ear to ear when he slept at night, as for how the emperor's son chose his name, it didn't matter, what was his name like, who cared. As the happiest household secretary in the Ming Dynasty, I can't spend all the money in the imperial court treasury in my life.

Although this silver can't be moved back to his own house, but with so much silver, the Hubu Shangshu, who has always been bitter, is now straight, and he can't say anything or do anything.

Even the most respected Wei Ji didn't speak, Wei Ji thought: I am now the secretary of the Criminal Department, and I am not the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what do you care about these things.

And there are examples of this thing before, the eldest son of Prince Yiwen, the eldest grandson of Taizu is called Zhu Xiongying, and there is no name according to the word generation. This is still a grandson, does anyone care, no one cares.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at them one by one, this was embarrassing again, and he really couldn't find anyone who was against him.

Ministers now want to start a comprehensive reform and have no interest in dwelling on these things.

There was no way, Zhu Qiyu had to discuss the reform policy with the ministers from beginning to end, and then let everyone leave.

The ministers left satisfied, as long as they did not move the land, and did not move the privileges of the officials and gentry. Change other things, everyone is in favor of it.

After the ministers left, Zhu Qiyu remembered: "No, I also said that I wanted to Feng Gong and let the emperor's son left in Wara be King Yi, why did people leave like this?" They don't object? That's it? ”

was a little confused, and Zhu Qiyu had to go home dizzy.

However, he said that Wang Wen returned to the cabinet and dragged several cabinet ministers to meet Emperor Gongrang.

When everyone came to the outside of Chonghua Palace, they saw a long table placed outside the palace gate, and five or six eunuchs were sitting there enjoying the shade.

Seeing the ministers approaching, a small eunuch came over and stopped: "A few elders, if you want to enter Chonghua Palace, please register your name first." ”

Wang Wen asked, "Dare to ask my father-in-law?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "We are from Dongchang, and the governor has an order, and everyone who enters Chonghua Palace needs to sign and register with their own signatures, and write down the reason for the visit." ”

Wang Wen replied: "We are here to meet at the order of the Holy Lord. ”

"Then please ask the elder to write down the order to meet you."

Wang Wen and the others personally signed their names, and the little eunuch opened the palace gate and put everyone in.

Only then did Wang Wen and others understand that what the emperor said was very good, and that Gong let the emperor's original confidant Ma Liang and others be responsible for guarding the Chonghua Palace, and civil and military officials could meet Emperor Gong Rang at any time.

In fact, the palace gate is guarded by the East Factory. Moreover, officials must sign in and out, who came to see the emperor, when, and what reason, all remember clearly.

If anyone dares to come to Chonghua Palace casually to hang out, then you just wait to find something.

However, it was said that Wang Wen and others entered to meet Emperor Gongrang, and Zhu Qizhen asked curiously: "What are you doing when you come to see me?" ”

Wang Wen replied: "The eldest son of Wara Yexian, Huo'er suddenly replied that during His Majesty's Northern Hunt, he left a son in Warat, and begged him to be canonized as a prince.

The Holy Lord has been allowed to play and ordered him to be named King Yi. He also ordered his ministers and others to ask His Majesty to name King Yi. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his face turned green: Even if I really keep a son in Wara, this kind of thing can't be openly brought to the table.

Forget about Prince Feng, let me choose a name? And then if you advertise it again, won't my reputation be finished?

Zhu Qizhen knew very well that these ministers either didn't understand the joints, they just pretended to be confused and deliberately greeted the real son of heaven in the western suburbs.

But looking at everyone's posture of forcing the palace, Zhu Qizhen had to reply: "Call Zhu Jianze." What is the name of my brother's son? ”

Wang Wen replied: "The four sons of the saint are Zhu Wenfang, the son of Qi, Zhu Wenjing, the king of Han, Zhu Wenying, the king of Wei, and Zhu Wenjun, the king of Ning. ”

"Text? Shouldn't it be 'see'? ”

Wang Wen replied: "The Holy Lord has redefined the lineage of the King of Qi, with the words 'Elegant Jun Sixian, Wusheng Dao Yongji, Zhirui Ancestor Huiyuan, and Liangshan Sect can grow.'" 'For the lineage of King Qi.

Therefore, the sons of the saints are all named 'Wen'. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he snorted coldly, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Wang Wen and others asked for the name of King Yi, returned to the cabinet, and drew up an edict.

In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor's edict of sealing the king and the edict of guilt were issued.

At the same time, the first batch of newspaper kiosks in Beijing, a total of 100 were officially opened.

The right counselor of the general political envoy discussed the training outline, and the eunuch Shu Liang, the commander of the East Factory, personally inspected everywhere.

At each newsstand, a large wall of newspapers was built, and newspapers from within seven days were pasted on it.

Pedestrians can watch at will, and there are full-time officials who read and explain the contents of the newspaper, so that the illiterate people can also understand current affairs.

In the first issue of the Jingtai Dynasty, there was big news: the emperor issued an edict to cover the coffin of the mutiny on the first day of July.

A large number of vassal kings were deposed and removed from the country because of rebellion; The emperor already had four sons, and he began to be crowned king as soon as he was born; Emperor Gong left a son in Wara, who was also named King Yi.

After the tea and dinner, the common people of Beijing had another topic of debate: should the current emperor give way? Should the crown prince let the emperor's eldest son continue to be the emperor's concubine, or should the eldest son of the current prince be the prince instead?

Public opinion continues to ferment among the people, but it will take time to form a consensus.

While the storm in Beijing is rising, Nanjing is not calm.

In the Nanjing garrison yamen, Yuan Cheng was confronting Xu Qi, and the two sides quarreled again.

According to the Ming system, it should be the eunuchs, the ministers, and the nobles to jointly garrison Nanjing.

But now Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo, went to Beijing to die, and the Duke of Wei stayed in Beijing for many days and refused to return.

Therefore, Yuan Cheng, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Xu Qi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, became the decision-makers of Nanjing.

The content of the quarrel between the two always revolved around the reform of Nanjing's Jingying demanded by the emperor.

There were originally 26 guards in Beijing, except for the Beijing Jinyi Guard, and the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison that were merged, and the remaining 21 Beijing Shangzhi were all transferred to Nanjing by the emperor.

And Nanjing originally had seventeen guards on the line.

Together, the two make a total of thirty-eight guards.

Zhu Qiyu demanded a drastic reduction to 24 guards. Then the 24th Guards were formed into the 12th Regiment Battalion, replacing the current Nanjing Beijing Battalion.

Xu Qi had already understood, this was equivalent to the 38 guards of Shangzhi, plus the Nanjing Jingying, plus the army temporarily stationed in Nanjing after the Beijing Jingying pacified the southeast civil uprising, a total of reduced and merged into the 24 guards of Nanjing Shangzhi.

The emperor wanted to streamline the government and throw off the burden.

The contradiction between Xu Qi and Yuan Cheng is that Yuan Cheng must resolutely implement the emperor's intentions in order to be appreciated by the emperor; But Xu Qi was more concerned about the stability of the army, and did not want to be too radical and cause turmoil.

The garrison was not in Nanjing, Xu Qi and Yuan Cheng did not give in to each other, and the emperor fully delegated power and was unwilling to intervene, so the two sides were completely deadlocked.
