Chapter 15 The Master of Ceremonies

On April 22, the 16th year of Zhengde, a delegation composed of Gu Dayong, the chief celebrant of ceremonies, and Yang Tinghe, a representative of the royal family and the imperial court, went to Anlu, and Zhu Houxi received the delegation as the king of Xing and accepted the edict of the empress dowager, and received salutes from the ministers in the palace, and then went to Beijing with the delegation. He Fu did not accompany him, took seven apprentices back to his hometown, and after some explanations, he entered the capital alone. The seven apprentices have been studying medicine with He Fu for six years, and they are already in the heat, and they often practice in the medical hall, so they can already treat diseases independently. Martial arts are also a small achievement, although it is not like He Fu who has passed the twelve canons in six years, but he has also passed seven or eight meridians, and his swordsmanship, fists and feet are not weak. The children of the He family were arranged by the He family to start sitting in the medical hall under their own name, and the six children of the Li family were sent to the countryside by He Fu, and the two pairs began to practice medicine and go to the rivers and lakes.

When Zhu Houxi and his delegation arrived in Liangxiang, outside Beijing, the first round of clashes broke out between the two sides. According to Yang Tinghe's arrangement, the Ministry of Rites greeted Zhu Houxi with the etiquette of the prince, that is, he entered from the Donghua Gate and lived in the Wenhua Palace. But Zhu Houxi did not accept this plan, he said to his elder Yuan Zonggao: "The edict is to be my heir to the throne of the emperor, not the prince." The two sides did not compromise with each other, and finally the queen mother ordered the ministers to persuade them to enter, Zhu Houxi received a note in the suburbs, entered from the Daming Gate, and then took the throne in the Fengtian Palace.

On May 27, the sixteenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houxi officially assumed the throne of the emperor. After a set of ceremonies was completed, it was already a month later, Zhu Houxi summoned He Fu into the palace, and the two began to talk secretly.

"Companion, where should I start?" asked Zhu Houxi to He Fu. Since He Fu entered the Xingwang Mansion again, He Fu's title has changed from Mr. to Big Companion.

"Start with the factory guard first, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the imperial court is still under command for the time being, so it will be handed over to the cabinet to toss, and Liangxiang is the temptation of the ministers of the DPRK to His Majesty, and the temptation will continue later. The twenty-four yamen of the internal government, the east factory and the west factory Jinyi Wei are different, we don't need to go through the cabinet, we must grasp it as soon as possible, the palace can be handed over to Huang Jin, be sure to clear the eyeliner outside the palace so that the news in the palace is not exposed, and we will personally take action in the east and west factories. His Majesty personally asked about the selection of Jinyi Guard, and he could make a mistake or not, and he had a good reputation, and he was a good candidate with a poor reputation and ability, and His Majesty's factory guard did not need to cherish his reputation. He Fu Zhengse said to Zhu Houxi.

"If you suffer for the name of the great companion divine doctor, I will compensate the great companion!" Zhu Houxi assured He Fu.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, if I don't want to wade into this troubled water, no one can do anything about me, with my current martial arts, I can go all over the world. Daming is the orthodoxy of my Han family, I am willing to contribute to the Ming Han family and the country, and I hope Your Majesty will encourage me!" He Fu not only changed his self-proclaimed eunuch, but his momentum rose like the rising sun, and said to Zhu Houxi very seriously.

"May the orthodoxy of the Ming and Han families last forever, the sun and the moon are not easy, and the Ming Dynasty will shine forever, and I will encourage my companion!" replied Zhu Houxi.

"If Your Majesty is tired one day, please tell me as soon as possible, and I can continue to wander the rivers and lakes" He Fu suddenly made a joke, ruining the serious atmosphere just now.

"Why did the big companion say this, I will never magnify the companion and leave!" Zhu Houxi was also spoiled by this sentence, and hurriedly assured.

"Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king! It is very suitable for Your Majesty's current situation, and please be patient with Your Majesty!"

On July 15 of the 16th year of Zhengde, Huang Jin, who had been promoted to the palm seal of the master of ceremonies, shouted "Shang Chao!" at the top of his voice, and the ministers entered the main hall of the Qianqing Palace one after another, waiting for everyone to start standing firm. Huang Jin began to announce "Ganke", and immediately confused the cabinet ministers, and the cabinet ministers were still ready to rely on this to brush up their fame, but they were robbed by the emperor, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and some ministers immediately shouted "Long live!"

Brush the sense of existence and give everyone favors, this is the idea He Fu proposed to Zhu Houxi, although the command of the cabinet is not moving, but I can do favors, I am not afraid that you will not move, I will put it forward in front of you, and the reputation will be brushed by the emperor himself!

He Fu led the ceremonial supervisor to supervise the East Factory and began to rectify the East and West Factory in obscurity. The West Factory, which was reopened during the Zhengde period, was withdrawn at the suggestion of He Fu, and the manpower was merged into the East Factory, and some masters were selected to enter the palace to serve as Zhu Houxi's bodyguard. First of all, the roster, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju and other Zhengde left the tiger and loyal lackeys were directly suppressed by He Fu by force, and then the internal competition of the East Factory, He Fu with a long sword and one person suppressed eight first-class masters who passed the Eight Veins of the Strange Scripture, shocked the entire East Factory, and said: "In the future, there will only be the East Factory, not in the East and West Factory, no matter whose subordinates you were before, now they are all my subordinates, and you can only listen to my orders in the future, no matter what you have committed before, you will not be blamed in the past today, if you commit it again in the future, you will be punished for several crimes, and the family law will serve." He Fu began to train and sort out in the East Factory.

After three months of combing, he began to expand the peripheral members, searched for storytellers everywhere, and gave the restaurant a stuffed storytelling under the name of Dongchang and other restaurants, starting from the capital and spreading to the whole country, and taking in orphans, began to cultivate internally, and began to look for some officials who had handles and secretly took refuge in Dongchang to speak at critical times in the court for Dongchang or the emperor, and competed for the right to speak. Recently, the new task is to give Zhu Houxi a reputation, and next year, the matter of Jia Enke will spread all over the world, and Zhu Houxi will not stop preparing to increase the share of Da Ming Law in Enke, and let the criminal department participate, and the six cabinets of the DPRK and China will not stop the quarrel and shouting.

At the same time that Enke spread all over the world, He Fu began to file all the officials of all grades in the country, in triplicate, one for the Dongchang, one for the emperor, and another for the seal and ribbon supervisors, and the Jinshi and Juren who were not officials began to establish files.

Time slowly passed the end of Zhengde, the new emperor ascended the throne, and no major events had happened, but the secret tide was surging, and it was about to change the yuan, and the cabinet ministers were ready to test the emperor again, ready to suppress the imperial power with great rites.

At the first year of Jiajing's imperial meeting, the name of the year had just been determined, and the former ministers of Wuzong headed by Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng had a great dispute with Zhu Houyu over who to take as Zhu Houxi's imperial examination (that is, the father in the patriarchal sense) and the imperial title of Zhu Houxi's biological father. He Fu began to exert his strength, and started construction at the same time through the East Factory and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate under his control, and began the Ming version of the anti-corruption action, first knocking out the famous traitor Qian Ning and the border general Jiang Bin during the Zhengde period, and slowly burning Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng in the middle of the Dao Dynasty. Through storytelling all over the country, focusing on how these ministers were bad and corrupt, and how Zhu Houyu was wise and martial, Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng hurriedly went to the fold to defend themselves, but under the empirical evidence that hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels of silver were collected from the homes of some honest ministers, the two were really disgraced, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and there were many important ministers to support them, so they had to agree to posthumously honor Zhu Houxi's biological father as the emperor of Xingxian and then crowned him as the emperor, and respected his biological mother Princess Jiang as the empress dowager of Xingguo, and renamed the emperor of Ming Xiaozong as "Huang Bokao" 。 After completing the Great Gift Discussion, Zhu Houxi comforted the minister while hiding with He Fu and the two of them in the inner treasury to count the silver and laugh, through this wave of operations, more than 30 million taels of silver, forty percent into the treasury, sixty percent close to the inner treasury, and the next step to rectify the Beijing camp money is also available.
