Chapter 2: Getting Started
Zhu Houcan's gloomy face was thinking, "Huang Jin, Huang Jin".
Huang Jin, who was waiting outside, heard the shouting of his master, and immediately ran in.
"Master, are you getting better?"
"Call Lord Yuan and the Ministry of Rites in immediately."
Soon Yuan Zonggao and the head of the Ministry of Rites walked in.
Zhu Houqiu coughed lightly, "I am getting more and more uncomfortable just now. I hope you all can understand. I thought that today is a happy day, but I am really not good at doing this. Why not take a day off and enter the city tomorrow?"
Yuan Zonggao was about to speak, but Zhu Houcong's eyes stopped him.
The head of the Ministry of Rites blushed, "Your Highness, today is the day you enter the palace, so where can you change it at will? At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting outside the Forbidden City. The Empress Dowager was also waiting for Your Highness in the palace, how could he say that he would change it again and again?"
"But my Highness is indeed unwell, so I'll give you a message."
"But"! The head of the army knew that this matter was not something he could solve, so he gritted his teeth and hurried towards the Forbidden City.
Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Houcan in confusion, "What exactly is this young prince going to do?"
"Mr. Yuan, did the Ministry of Rites notify you to enter the palace from Donghuamen?"
"It should be Donghuamen."
"Donghua Gate"! Zhu Hougui's face was unstable, but his heart was shocked, "Is it God who helped me to contact the future people. How should I remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot?"
Zhu Houcong pondered for a while, "Mr. Yuan knew that Donghuamen was the way the prince ascended the throne. His Highness was the son of King Xingxian, and he was not the prince, so why did he go to Donghuamen? The will of the will was the matter of inheriting the throne rather than inheriting the emperor. The imperial guards were notified to detour by the Shenwumen."
"Your Highness is decided by the Ministry of Rites... Your Highness is not allowed. I don't know what I have to say, but I don't know what to say."
"speak".
"Your Highness, I also think it is inappropriate to enter through Donghua Gate, but after all, major events are important. If you turn against the ministers at this time, it will be bad for us." Yuan Zonggao looked around carefully, "Your Highness, we have not entered the court, so we have to fight with all the officials. This is the worst strategy."
Zhu Houcong looked at Yuan Zonggao coldly, his tone was already cold. "Mr. Yuan is an old man in the royal palace. I will rely more on Lord Yuan in the future. I hope that Lord Yuan will do his best to do his best, and Lord Yuan's benefits will be indispensable."
Yuan Zonggao's eyebrows jumped, and he didn't even call him a gentleman on weekdays, and called him a master directly. Obviously, the little master was angry, but as a civil servant, how could he retreat? Just as he was about to look up and refute, his eyes looked at Zhu Houcan and looked at him. At that moment, he had already felt Zhu Houcan's changes. He gritted his teeth and knelt down and bowed, hesitated for a while, "I obeyed the order."
The three ministers of the cabinet gathered at this time to Donghuamen of the Imperial Palace, waiting for the arrival of the future master of this country.
The chief minister Yang Ting and the old god were sitting on the official road beside him drinking tea. Compared to Yang Tinghe's steadyness, the cabinet minister Jiang Mian could not sit still.
"Brother Jung-in, please take a look. Your Highness was fine in the morning. He was unconscious and said that he was impaired. Could it be that he was a warning to us?"
Yang Tinghe smiled and picked up the teacup, "Brother Jingzhi is a little restless. Look, this tea is spring tea, this year's new tea. This tea needs to be tasted slowly before it tastes good. You can't come. Look, Brother Shuhou is very good at tea ceremony."
At this time, Liang Chu was leaning on the bench and pretending to sleep. He heard the two of them muttering that they hurriedly said, "Are you here?" He looked around and continued to take a nap and rest.
Jiang Mian thought, "What my husband said is very true, but this new tea has arrived, and I don't know how long this old tea can last."
Yang Tinghe was silent. He was a powerful minister and no one wanted to let go of the power in his hands. What's more, he was worried about handing over the future of the country to an unreliable emperor again, so Yang Tinghe was the sinner of history.
At this time, a head of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly reported, "Report to the three cabinet masters, Your Highness, His Highness..."!
"What are you talking hesitantly? Tell me quickly."
"Master, Your Highness said that he was unwell today and wanted to enter the city tomorrow."
"Nothing is nothing, it's nothing. Can such a thing be regarded as a joke? He is not going to play a house when he is a major event in the court."
"Brother Jingzhi pays attention to his words." Yang Tinghe looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites and looked at the Minister of Rites beside him. "What is your Ministry of Rites making? How can you make such a big deal about Your Highness?"
Mao Cheng gritted his teeth and followed the official. But Mao Cheng received a report before he even set off. "Report to all the masters of the Pavilion, the big thing is wrong. Your Highness has already directed the guard of honor toward the Shenwu Gate."
"Bastard, what are you doing? Can't you stop the guard of honor?" Even Yang Tinghe, who was calm, couldn't sit still. This was like a joke on the court's etiquette, civil and military officials.
"Waste, why are you waiting for quickly preparing a horse to stop the guard of honor?"
Zhu Houcan stood in the sedan chair and looked up at the Forbidden City ahead, "I, Zhu Houcan, want to rewrite history again, and I want to become the number one emperor in the ages."
Compared with Zhu Houcan's high spirits, Yuan Zonggao next to him looked worried. He didn't know how storms would be waiting for him ahead.
"Stop the sedan"!
The three cabinet ministers and the six ministers rushed to Shenwu Gate panting and stopped Zhu Houguan.
"I am deeply sorry for all the ministers to move here."
Mao Cheng of the Ministry of Rites shook his beard and asked, "Why did your highness come to Shenwu Gate? Did your highness not receive the notice from the Ministry of Rites to leave Donghua Gate?"
Zhu Houqi turned his head to look at Mao Cheng with a smile, "Is this the Minister of Rites?"
"That's right, I am Mao Cheng, Minister of Rites."
Zhu Houyan smiled softly, "Very good, Lord Mao is really a loyal and patriotic minister."
Mao Cheng blew his beard, "I am ashamed and dared not take it. Please move to Donghuamen according to the etiquette. Your Highness should listen to the opinions of the old ministers more in the court affairs, and you cannot let the villain chew around you." Looking at Yuan Zonggao beside him, "Mr. Yuan, as a minister, you should have dissuaded Your Highness, do you know that you are guilty?"
Yuan Zonggao was a little apologized, but when Mao Cheng asked this, his mind suddenly became cold. "Okay, you really treat yourself as a big boss in the court. After I say that I am also a third-rank official, I will become even more prosperous after the new emperor ascends the throne."
Thinking of this, Yuan Zonggao made up his mind: "Mr. Mao is such a bad word. I have never chewed the root of my ears. I wonder who Mr. Mao is talking about?"
"Hmph, I won't argue with you."
"Please move your highness to Donghua Gate"! Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian said at the same time.
The Minister of Personnel also scolded: "What should I do if the bold Yuan Zonggao dares to instigate His Highness to change his course randomly?"
Zhu Houcan looked around without any anger, but instead showed an expression on his face that was indeed the case. "It seems that all sirs, I think that at this time, I think I am a young boy who only knows the stubbornness and listens to slander, right?"
"You guys are right. Your Highness is only fifteen years old. I am a young child. But I also know the etiquette and law of ancestors, and I know the right or wrong. If you want me to walk from Donghua Gate, that is to let me betray my ancestors and trap me in a place of unkindness and unrighteousness." The topic changed, "The former emperor clearly stated that he had an order that he only needed to inherit the throne of the emperor, and he did not have to inherit as a father and son. As the saying goes, he did not succeed him!"
"Your Highness's throne inheritance is originally a father's son, so how can you betray your ancestors? Please move immediately and follow etiquette." At this time, Mao Cheng was so excited that he wanted to roll up his sleeves and go forward to pull Zhu Hougui.
"Shut up"! Zhu Houqiu was furious: "Don't say more, and I will betray my ancestors, that's impossible!"
Zhu Houcan looked at Yang Ting and the other two with a sneer, "Does the three cabinet masters think so?"
Yang Tinghe pondered for a while, "Your Highness is coming soon, please don't make fun of it. The Empress Dowager is still waiting for You to pay a visit."
"It seems that the three cabinet masters have the same idea"!
Zhu Houcong did not make jokes, but laughed even happier. "Haha, don't worry, Lord Yang, how could I let my aunt and the Empress Dowager wait for a long time? I had already written a letter to bring it into the palace. At this time, the Empress Dowager may have a break."
