Just when Ye Cheng followed Lu Li and others through the mountains and mountains, the enthronement ceremony in Yingtianfu had already begun, Yao Guangxiao left Yaojia Village with infinite melancholy, and had already returned to Yingtian, and in the end he couldn't see his sister.

At this time, King Yan looked down at the ministers kneeling in the black press below on the stage, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, just before the Battle of Jingjing, at least half of the people below wanted him to die, but now these people are more disciplined than anyone else. It is true that the world admires the integrity and generosity of loyal ministers, but how many people can really have the courage and courage to learn from someone like Tie Xuan?

As long as you can reach the majority of people, you can achieve the goal you want, and King Yan at this time is already well versed in politics.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have been honored as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor today, and it will really be yours from now on. Yuan Heng, a Taoist priest who had already worshiped Taichang Temple, whispered again.

"Has Master Dao Yan come back?" King Yan ignored Yuan Heng's sycophant, but asked Yao Guangxiao in a low voice.

"To talk about this Yao Guangxiao, it is really disrespectful, and it is not an exaggeration for Your Majesty to punish him for the crime of contempt for the king. Yuan Heng said very angrily.

"I asked you if he was back. Yan Wang Zhu Di said impatiently.

"Emperor Qiqi, he is back, and now he is in the crowd, but he didn't see ......the driver when he came back yesterday," Yuan Jue said.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "It's good to come back, tell him to come to my dormitory tomorrow to discuss matters, you and Xie Jin and Chen Ying will also come together, I have something important to arrange." ”

"Yes. Yuan Jue Nuonuo said continuously.

The enthronement ceremony finally began, in the sound of the salute, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, slowly stepped onto the stage, and the gold-armored warriors stood on both sides, each with bright armor and bright armor, and the momentum was like a tiger. On both sides of the summoning platform, the edict official and the edict official have long been standing straight aside, in the most conspicuous position of the summoning platform, the Ministry of Industry has prepared the wood carved phoenix painted golden yellow and carved into the shape of a cloud-like wooden plate, this golden phoenix cloud not only symbolizes the royal style, but also indicates that the upcoming dynasty is the monarch's divine gift, the name is justified, and the world will also be followed by the wind and rain, auspicious and wishful.

After the salute, Lu Zhen, the crown prince and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, respectfully held a tray containing the edict and walked up to the stage, only to see that the edict was made of hard yellow paper two feet wide and two zhang long, and the paper was also decorated with a golden dragon on the edge, showing incomparable dignity and solemnity.

"Your Majesty, please review the Edict of Dengji!" Lu Zhen said in a high-pitched voice.

Zhu Di slowly picked up the edict in the tray and unfolded it, but he only glanced at it hastily, then threw the edict back on the tray and did not pass it to the summoner to read it aloud. Lu Zhen on the stage, Yuan Hui under the stage, and the ministers kneeling at the bottom of the steps were all stunned, not knowing what the new emperor would do next.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, looked down at the ministers and said with a smile: "You must be wondering, why don't the widows follow the script and complete this ceremony of being the emperor step by step, because that is not my Zhu Di's style of acting." What the widow says today can be heard not only by you, but also by the heavens, so I will say what is in my heart!"

There was an uproar among the kneeling ministers, and after a brief whisper, the audience fell silent, waiting for the new emperor's words.

"I remember one time, the widow and Emperor Jianwen, that is, my nephew who had unfortunately died, was driving for Emperor Taizu in the Imperial Horse Garden of Yingtianfu, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Emperor Taizu was interested, and he said a sentence 'The wind blows a thousand lines of horsetail', and then let us say the next sentence. Zhu Di said in a deep but majestic voice.

The kneeling ministers listened quietly, and no one dared to make a sound.

Zhu Di continued: "The widow's nephew Yun Wei is right with the sentence 'the rain hits the wool and a piece of felt', and the widow is right is 'the sunshine dragon scales are ten thousand points of gold', do you guess Taizu will prefer whose pair?"

"Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, this pair is a pun, magnificent, even if Li Bai Du Fu is resurrected, it will be difficult to come up with such a wonderful sentence!" Chen Ying, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, said loudly.

At this time, Yuan Ying stood under the stage and couldn't help but feel a burst of jealousy in his heart, because this Chen Ying was originally the Beiping affair placed by Emperor Jianwen next to King Yan, and wanted to use him as the eyes and ears of the spy King Yan. This person's skill in slapping horses is no less than that of Yuan Hui, so that he is deeply hated by Yuan Hui, and today I saw that he seized the opportunity to flatter, how could I not be more annoyed.

Zhu Di paused, and laughed loudly: "Yes, the widow also thought so at the time. But then Taizu gave the throne to my nephew instead of the widow, and I couldn't figure out the reason for it at that time, do you think about why?"

There was silence again.

Because Taizu Rongma has laid down the country in his life, he hopes that the future Ming Dynasty will be a peaceful and prosperous era, and he does not need a king who expands his territory, he just wants a lord who keeps his success. Zhu Di said loudly, "But everything now proves that Taizu is wrong!"

Taizu was wrong? Some people dared to say that Taizu was wrong? The ministers were in a disturbing commotion again, but no one dared to question it. Zhu Di's wife Xu Shi was also looking at her husband, he looked so high-spirited, so like a king who would make a difference, but her heart was not happy at all, then she suddenly noticed the Daoyan monk hiding in the corner, his body was half illuminated by the sun, half wrapped in shadows, Xu found that his expression was so similar to himself.

At this time, Zhu Di continued: "The widow's nephew is indeed gentle and courteous, but can this country be defended by guarding? The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty still exist, the coastal pirates are rampant, and the domestic thieves are flocking, is this a simple word can be solved? There are villains in the court who want the widow to die, but the widow is now standing here and telling these people that the widow does not covet this throne, and the widow does not want the Daming Dynasty that Taizu has worked so hard to fight to die like this!"

Qunchen Nuonuo didn't dare to raise his head.

"Today, the widow is here to announce to the world, from today on, the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty has begun!" Zhu Di raised his arms and shouted.

There was a brief period of calm, followed by a tsunami-like sound of long live in the entire Yingtianfu Mountain. Monk Daoyan looked at his friend, who had been assisting him since his youth, through this noisy voice, but felt that his vision was so blurred. Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, has gradually become a fantasy floating in the air.

On the day after ascending the throne, Yao Guangxiao, the "black-clothed prime minister", Yuan Hui, the minister of Taichang Temple, Xie Jin, the Hanlin attendant, and Chen Ying, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, stood in the secret room of the palace of Emperor Yongle and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the new king's mandate.

The four ministers in this small secret room are the political core of the Ming Dynasty today, and they are also the mainstays that can influence the fate of the Ming Dynasty. But only Yao Guangxiao has always insisted that he is white, and the black-clothed prime minister is just a nickname for him, not a real job.

Zhu Di deliberately wore a plain clothes to show his trust in the four people, and he said slowly: "The widow called you here today for one thing, I think you should all know what it is." ”

All four of them understood in their hearts, but none of them opened their mouths to answer.

Zhu Di didn't expect their answers, but continued: "Since the destruction of Yingtian City, there has been no news of Emperor Jianwen, although my nephew is cowardly, but he has his own reluctance, I am not worried that he will rise up again, but today, people are unpredictable, and they want to use him as a puppet, but there are many people who coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if that is the case, then the Ming Dynasty will never have peace." The reason why the widow only called the four of you is because you are the only one who can really be trusted by the widow. ”

The four of them stood with their hands down, they knew that Zhu Di was going to start assigning tasks.

"The four Aiqing listened to the order. ”

The four of them knelt down together.

"Yuan Hui, the minister of Taichang Temple, commanded the martial arts people of Yipin Pavilion to search the boundary north of the Yellow River, Master Daoyan led the Jinyi Wei troops to search the boundary south of the Yangtze River, Chen Ying, the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, led the elite of Duoyan Sanwei to search the boundary south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River, and Xie Jin, the Hanlin attendant, was responsible for the search around Yingtianfu. Zhu Di's voice was slow, but his majesty was revealed in every word.

The four of them received the order to thank him, and Zhu Di signaled that he could retreat, but Master Dao Yan was left alone.

Dao Yan stood there respectfully, only to see Zhu Di come over, pat him on the shoulder and said: "Guangxiao, you are different from them, you and I are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends, so don't hold some things in your heart, you and I can talk about everything, just like in Yandi." ”

Yao Guangxiao replied: "Your Majesty is now ranked in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the monk is determined not to dare to be presumptuous anymore, what does Your Majesty have to say, but it doesn't matter, the monk must be exhausted to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "That's good, all the places in the Central Plains have been properly distributed, but the sea and the Western Regions have not been assigned, although these two places are dangerous places, but it is difficult to ensure that my nephew will go to danger when he is desperate, so the widow wants you to send someone to the sea for me to see." ”

"Who?"

"Zheng He. Zhu Di said.

"Your Majesty, although Zheng He is steady and pure-hearted, but after all, he is a eunuch, a great country in the Ming Dynasty, but he sent a eunuch to travel overseas. Yao Guangxiao never expected Zhu Di to have this idea, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"It was precisely because he was a eunuch, homeless, unemployed, alone, and without concern that the widow thought of sending him. The widow knows that the mage said this to protect him, and does not want him to be in danger, but please rest assured that the widow will definitely equip him with the best warships of the Ming Dynasty, the most experienced sailors and the most abundant supplies, and I will let him go to sea in style. Zhu Di smiled slightly.

"But ......" Yao Guangxiao wanted to say something. Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, you should step back first." ”
