Chapter 3: Proclaiming Emperor
"What did you say? He actually dared to lead troops to surround the Qing Palace?" Li Xuanshi widened his eyes when he heard the news, "Who gave him the courage to do this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of tables and chairs being pushed down came from the yard. Dozens of Beijing soldiers entered one after another, and controlled the eunuchs of the Ganqing Palace in a few seconds.
Zhang Weixian stopped in front of the Ganqing Palace and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the eldest son of the emperor ordered that Li Xuanshi move out of the Ganqing Palace today, so don't force me to take action."
Li Xuanshi's thoughts of guarding the armed soldiers outside the door were shaken a lot.
After all, no one expected that a group of soldiers would come, and it would not work if they reasoned or cheated on them.
Seeing this, Cui Wensheng was very panicked and said to the side: "Empress Dowager, let's move the palace first, Renshou Palace is not bad."
"What's good?" Li Xuanshi was so angry that he couldn't get up, and said coldly: "Just leave like this, wouldn't that allow Zhu Youxiao to ascend the throne successfully?"
"How can I be the queen mother?"
"Oh!" Cui Wensheng saw that the soldiers in the Beijing camp outside were already ready to move, and was even more afraid that he would bury the old woman, so he hurriedly advised: "Don't think so much at this time, it's important to save your life first!"
"You don't know what Zhang Weixian has done."
Hearing this, Li Xuanshi remembered the famous name of Zhang Weixian, the No. 1 honorary scholar in the capital. In addition to the emperor, this guy is not afraid of heaven or earth.
Faced with this situation, she also knew that whether she left or not, she would be taken out. Leaving by herself was nothing more than a decent point of moving the palace.
It seems that Zhang Weixian has left some thin face for himself.
After a long time of silence, Li Xuanshi took a last look at the Ganqing Palace, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, picked up the eighth princess she had born, and left with Cui Wensheng and several nearby servants, and went to Renshou Palace.
......
"Food! I can't handle this little thing well, what's the point of our family wanting you?"
That night, behind the screen in the innermost small hall of Renshou Palace, a eunuch with a donkey face, the power of the above-mentioned person, scolded Cui Wensheng.
The person's appearance could be vaguely seen through the screen, which should be extremely vicious.
"Dad, my son doesn't want to do it either, but Xi Lixuan Shi, she...she has no real power at all, let alone the British Duke Zhang Weixian holding a soldier."
"Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Weixian to come directly. I'm afraid even that old guy Yang Lian didn't expect this!"
This is the truth. Zhu Youzhao sent Zhang Weixian, the second-handed Zixian to resist the wind, directly disrupted the Donglin Party's overall plan for the case of moving the palace.
After hearing this, the eunuch with a donkey-faced face turned his eyes. Zhang Weixian was a little tricky. The British Duke lineage still couldn't move.
Cui Wensheng, who was originally arrogant, was as obedient as a child in front of this person. He was so upset for a long time that he mustered up the courage:
"Dad, it seems that Zhu Youxiao's ascends the throne is no longer a matter of irreversibility. Once his son is impeached by the Department of the Ministry, he will inevitably find out about your head again, so--"
Speaking of this, the man behind the screen suddenly looked over and asked with a smile:
"So, you just want to run away?"
After his little thoughts were exposed, Cui Wensheng swallowed his saliva and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "The child is also thinking about his father. He is not afraid of death, but he hasn't served his father enough yet!"
"Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and will definitely investigate the red pills. Dad might as well transfer his son to Nanjing first, so that the news will pass in the future and come back to serve you!"
The man immediately heard Cui Wensheng's little abacus and sneered a few times. Seeing Cui Wensheng crawling on the ground, trembling all over, he said with a disgusting look:
"Who told you to be my son? If you were dealt with by that little baby, I would have to suffer with it, right?"
"I will ask the Minister of Rites and others to submit a memorial to impeach you and demote you to Nanjing tomorrow, but you must remember your father's kindness."
Cui Wensheng didn't notice the cold look on the man's face behind the screen. After hearing this, he was full of ecstasy and knocked his head to a loud bang.
"Thank you, Dad, I will never forget your kindness in my life!"
......
On the morning of the fifth day of the 10th month of the 48th year of Wanli, less than a day before Zhu Youxiao's throne ceremony.
Zhu Youxiao has been having a very comfortable life these days, because why? Although the old lady Xi Lixuanshi has moved to the palace, she is still deliberately trying to be regent, and the civil servants want to ascend the throne.
Their work was quite happy on both sides, but it actually had no impact on the succession of the eldest son of Zhu You School Prince?
Xi Li Xuanshi said that he was a woman after all, even if Cui Wensheng, a powerful eunuch in the country, was not at all responsible, and he often had a verbal battle with his ministers.
After the palace was moved, although Xi Li Xuanshi knew that he had no chance of being regent, he still did not give up. He also asked to first make him the Empress Dowager and then order Zhu Youxiao to ascend the throne.
Isn't this nonsense?
Regarding such unreasonable demands, the ministers turned into messengers of justice and refused again with a firm determination. The conflicts between the two sides became increasingly intensified and became more and more enjoyable.
In fact, after so many days, Zhu Youxiao didn’t say a word, there are two points.
The first is that the succession was smooth in history and there was no need to do anything more.
The second point is to combine the historical knowledge given to him by God’s perspective to see who is not interested in watching the fun, and then gradually do it after taking office!
Many people saw Zhu Youxiao silently in the face of this power struggle and were even more determined to help him ascend to power. They never imagined that the sixteen-year-old boy was pretending to be a man in his twenties.
"Stop messing around, I'm about to ascend the throne."
......
The next day, Zhu Youxiao, who had been restored to the Qianqing Palace for a few days, opened the door and wore a robe that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would wear during major ceremonies such as the ascension of the throne. Accompanied by Wang An, he came to the Royal Ancestral Temple.
Some people say that ascending the throne requires many steps, and you can ask for three or three rejections. Zhu Youxiao said, "I am the eldest son of the emperor and the orthodox son, so how can there be so many things."
To put it bluntly, on the day of ascension, I went to the ancestral temple to worship the world, then presided over the throne ceremony, and finally sat on the dragon throne, and became the emperor.
When Zhu Youxiao came to the ancestral temple, the flowers and willows on both sides had already been decorated overnight. Along the way, there were drums and music.
I don’t know what Taichang felt like after just a few days of death in such a lively scene. Zhu Youxiao even thought about who was so decorating it as if it was as festive as a wedding, and he was killed.
Will you do things?
Of course, among the accessories with red flowers and green willows, at least the ancestral temple still had a few white rags hanging symbolically, which made Zhu Youxiao give up the idea of chopping people.
Soon, the sound of drums and music gradually stopped, and everyone focused their eyes on Zhu Youxiao at the forefront, but this guy did not speak directly.
Zhu Youxiao wore a robe for the first time. He felt so uncomfortable all the way through it. He twisted his hand in front of several cases of the emperor who had been arranged in Dahang, changed into a comfortable position, and said loudly:
"The former emperor suddenly collapsed and returned to the five elements. I inherited the order of the emperor and heaven, listed the saints as the emperor's order, followed the order of the emperor, and entered the throne of the emperor. I am solemn to tell the heaven, earth, country, and ancestors that he ascended the throne."
"Think deeply about the importance of entrusting and earnestly working hard. Only my father will be the emperor, and his fortune will be fulfilled and his business will be harmonious. If you want to develop and manage it in time, you must reform the old and the new."
"The matters are based on the old rules, and they are also respectful to the husband's ambition. Only by being honest and virtuous, they still rely on relatives and virtuous people to seek new governance. Next year is the first year of Tianqi. The world will be amnesty and the people will be renewed."
After finishing the edict of succession after reciting the throne overnight, the rest was very simple. All the steps of the throne ceremony were done by the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Youxiao only needed to sit on it.
In this year, two emperors died in the Ming Dynasty, and all parties in the court fought endlessly for their interests, and the case of attacks, Hongwan cases and palace transfers occurred one after another.
The Ming Dynasty was filled with internal and external troubles, and the people were all terrified.
But on the sixth day of the 10th lunar month, Zhu Youxiao, who was only sixteen years old, ascended the throne and became the emperor. The famous Apocalypse Dynasty has since appeared on the stage of history.
On the same night, a fast horse from various prefectures in Huaibei rang the bell of the Forbidden City.
