When fishermen catch sardines at sea, in order to keep the sardines alive, they often place some carnivorous fish in it.

Because sardines will only stay active when encountering crisis and will not cause problems in an overly warm environment.

At this time, although the affairs of King Fu were never put on the surface, both Queen Zhou and Zhu Cilang knew it well.

Especially Zhu Cilang, who was almost like a hedgehog who had a hair blown up, was already so nervous that he looked extremely nervous.

Just like Emperor Jingtai at that time.

The Ming Dynasty is not without precedent in this regard, and there is far more than one example!

The bloodline of King Fu is not inferior to their brothers in theory or in reality.

Even if it weren't for the blessing of many old ministers back then, the throne of the emperor would not have been their turn.

What reward did Emperor Wanli give when he was crowned King Fu?

Forty thousand fertile land!

Even King Fu himself felt embarrassed and begged to cut it by half.

But even so, the Central Plains was not enough, so I still found a way to make up for him from Shandong, Qinchuan and other places.

"Haicheng Hou, then, what do you mean..."

After all, Empress Zhou was a woman. She had no backbone for a moment and looked at Xu Changqing with a long eye.

Zhu Cilang was so nervous that he was extremely nervous, and his cold sweat kept surging out. He was extremely looking forward to Xu Changqing being able to clear this trouble for him.

"Empress, Your Highness, I have no good idea for this matter. Thinking about it, for the sake of the present, we can only make the raw rice mature as soon as possible. Just wait until the situation is stable, and then find a solution..."

Empress Zhou and Zhu Cilang looked at each other and both nodded.

After all, King Fu is the blood of the Tian family. How could it be too unrealistic to expect Xu Changqing to take King Fu?

Even if Xu Changqing is willing to do it, they will find it difficult to bear the price of public opinion. What Xu Changqing said at this time is undoubtedly the most practical.

Empress Zhou hurriedly said, "Then, the prince ascends the throne first tomorrow. As for the affairs of enthroning the queen, should they be placed behind first?"

Xu Changqing pretended to think and said for a moment: "The Queen's method is not bad. After all, only by laying the foundation first and doing things can you have more room for more. What does the Crown Prince think?"

Zhu Cixuan is indeed much more mature, but he has no opinion at this time? He hurriedly said: "I think it is OK..."

...

After leaving Wuying Palace, Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If you walk by the river often, how can you not wet your shoes?

It is necessary to deal with the matters in the palace as soon as possible!

Especially after I left Nanjing, many things were beyond the reach of it.

...

The throne ceremony was officially held early in the 21st of September.

The Baiyu Square outside the Meridian Gate was already full of flags and crowded with tens of thousands of people.

The entire process is actually similar to the previous sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, just like the eight golden words on the imperial jade seal: "Accepting the command from heaven, you will live forever!"

Zhu Cilang rode on the bright yellow dragon chassis and allowed officials from various departments to take turns to recite prayer documents, sacrificed all those who could sacrifice, and proved the legitimacy of his position as the emperor to heaven.

Then there are various processes.

Xu Changqing was not in the crowd at this time, but was not far from the dragon chasing, wearing shiny armor, guarding Zhu Cilang like a god.

At this height, for a moment, Xu Changqing also felt a little "like a dream".

No wonder, from ancient times to the present, countless people have wanted to "try the method with their own body". This feeling is really a bit wonderful...

finally!

At midday, Xu Changqing was unable to hold on, and the new Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi finally read the last text

I was busy kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Long live!"

"Crazy..."

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the square fell to the ground, shouting "Long live" in the mountains.

"Long live my emperor..."

"Long live my emperor..."

The powerful sound made Xu Changqing, who was already a little on his chest and his back, feel a little dizzy and dizzy.

He couldn't help but look at Zhu Cixuan and Empress Zhou and others with his own light.

I can't even stand still, what are they now?

really.

Zhu Cilang was almost wilted and weak. Although Queen Zhou was still holding on, she was still so tired.

Xu Changqing suddenly couldn't help laughing.

That is, when we are far away, everyone cannot see it, otherwise it will really make a joke.

However, the eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother. The people under him were even more miserable. They were already tired and were like eggplants that were frost.

Finally, the ceremony finally ended.

Those who were not of sufficient grade and the "extra" retreated one after another. Xu Changqing, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and other bigwigs also came to the side hall with great pleasure and had a meal quickly. The next big reward is immediately.

At this time, Xu Changqing's reward had been confirmed. Just as Xu Changqing's own request, he only had defense in Shandong and did not covet other places.

This is not that Xu Changqing doesn’t want more rights, he is really willing and powerless, but he is a safe decision made after careful consideration!

After all, the defense of the Shandong front line is long enough. If you serve as the Central Plains again, it will be a thousand-mile defense line.

In fact, Empress Zhou's original intention was to let Xu Changqing serve as the defense of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia, Nanzhili, Liao and other places, but Xu Changqing seemed to be unwilling to accept it.

All of this is false reputation.

It can't even be described as "the wood is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", but it is a "lightning rod".

Not only are these areas not under the control of the Ming Dynasty at this time, but they are also in decline. To put it bluntly, it is a complete burden and a pure "pot". How could Xu Changqing take on such a dish?

With the current situation, as long as Xu Changqing can manage a place in Shandong well and backed by the hinterland of Jiangnan, he will have enough capital to compete with the Qing Dynasty.

Wait until you start to clean up the old rivers and mountains.

If you break, you will stand up, you will not stand up!

This situation has already reached a certain pain and has to bear it. If you lack greed, it will only lead to insufficient human hearts and swallowing elephants, resulting in greater variables.

While thinking, the little eunuch came over to Tongbing respectfully and began to go to the court.

Xu Changqing also followed everyone to the most core and majestic Fengtian Hall in Nanjing Imperial City.

Fengtian Palace is still a bit worse than the Huangji Palace in the capital. It lacks the domineering aura of being the only one, but it is also extremely rich and full of historical heritage.

At that time, the great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang was here to establish Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu, and enfeoff the world, establishing the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

When he arrived at Fengtian Hall and finished his tribute, Xu Changqing suddenly realized that there was someone who was more tired than everyone today.

That's right.

It is the new Sili Supervisor Zheng Eunuch.

The reward at this time was read out by him.

Xu Changqing suddenly felt a little funny. What is this really "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight."

After the process is completed, the music stops. If nothing unexpected happens, it is Xu Changqing who will be the first to receive it!

After all, at this time, even Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying could not be compared with Xu Changqing!

It is no exaggeration to say that without Xu Changqing, there would be no "Hongguang" of Zhu Cilang at this time.

"The emperor ordered the emperor to say..."

With a song

After reading it for a long time, it came to the point, and Xu Changqing also raised his ears.

"...Haicheng Hou Xu Changqing, who has made great contributions than the country, was the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. He gave Haicheng Hou ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Shandong, and a fief of 18,000 households. He guarded the northern border for our Ming Dynasty..."

Even after another string of empty titles, Xu Changqing didn't hear anything else clearly, and only heard a "Crown Prince's Grand Tutor".

After Eunuch Zheng finished reading, Xu Changqing was still in a daze, experiencing the number of official positions inside. Next to him, a little eunuch hurriedly reminded him respectfully and urgently: "Marty, thank you quickly..."

Xu Changqing then came back to his senses and kowtowed respectfully: "My minister Xu Changqing, thank you for your kindness, long live my emperor..."

After Xu Changqing finished his work, everyone's eyes lit up, and it was finally their turn to share this super bonus.

But Eunuch Zheng was lazy at this time and directly handed over the responsibility for reading to a young eunuch in his early thirties.

This guy has already started to get up ‘6’.

Soon, the young eunuch read it out loud.

From late noon to the end of the day, it was completely dark outside. Everyone was already hungry and almost fainted, and finally came to an end.
To be continued...
