Chapter 1661 Evacuation
Among the bustling crowds, King Xin, who was sitting upright on the front of the coffin of the Ganqing Palace, was the most eye-catching.
All the nobles and ministers knew that King Xin entered the palace last night, Princess Zhou and the eunuch of the royal mansion entered the palace today. Now the people surrounded by King Xin’s side were from the King Xin’s house. King Xin’s face looked ugly, his originally fair face turned blue-gray, his eyes were relatively unsightly, and his body seemed to have lost a lot, but everyone was not worried. King Xin has always been healthy, strong, and full of the vitality of a young man.
From the inside out of the Ganqing Palace, the eunuchs with status in the palace were also full of positions. From Wang Tigan to Wei Zhongxian, all the eunuchs of the Sili were standing in the innermost place, and then the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison, and the eunuchs of the twenty-four eunuchs in the palace were all included.
What other supervisors are there, the young supervisors, the common people, and thousands of eunuchs of grades are waiting inside and outside the Ganqing Palace.
All the Dukes, Marquis, Ministers, and the Han generals of the Jinyiwei also served inside and outside the hall.
People were waiting, and the emperor had already made great progress. Although King Xin had no name, he was of the same generation as Emperor Daxing, of course he would not be the crown prince or the crown prince. However, he was in the capital, and King Gui was waiting in the mansion and was not allowed to enter the palace. King Xin brought the princess and others to enter the palace early under the escort of British Duke Zhang Weixian. The name of Dayi had actually been decided.
As the chief assistant, Gu Bingqian had already brought the Minister of Rites and others into the hall. The assistant ministers glanced at King Xin from time to time and found that King Xin was sitting upright and did not pretend to be disrespectful to the people who came to pay homage to him. This young man was deeply and introverted. Although he had not officially ascended the throne, he had already shown his emperor's majesty.
Cui Chengxiu had been transferred to the Left Censor and stood not far behind the cabinet minister. At this time, she couldn't help but whisper: "I'm afraid it's over. This is a difficult master to fool."
He felt that no one could hear it, but not far away was Hovehua. He heard this from Hovehua and smiled slightly without realizing it.
In any case, Huo Weihua's layout has been completed long ago, and Wei Zhongxian and his followers will definitely lose their power. Let's wait and see.
"Do everything follow the rules." When Wang Tigan heard that the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites had discussed the constitution, he could not do anything. He glanced at Wei Zhongxian and knew that the nine thousand years old had nothing to do with etiquette and system. He immediately took his own initiative and agreed.
Gu Bingqian didn't say much, turned to the Minister of Rites and said, "Since that's the case, let's do things according to the rules."
The Minister of Rites came to King Xin and reported the general process of ascension to the throne.
King Xin's face was expressionless, but his hands were pressed tightly on both sides of the chair to forcefully suppress his excitement.
After dreaming at midnight, King Xin had fantasized about the day when he ascended the throne and ruled the world.
He wanted to change his course, revive the court, to promote the people, to work hard on national affairs, and to do morning court every day... In fact, King Xin did it. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, he stopped the morning court for one day because of illness. The emperor was criticized by the censor. Chongzhen issued an edict to the ministers and explained to his ministers that he would not be in charge of the court.
This was done in the hands of Chongzhen, which had never happened in the Six Dynasties, such as Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi.
Only Emperor Xiaozong was able to compare with Chongzhen in terms of diligence, but Emperor Xiaozong was far inferior to Emperor Chongzhen in terms of diligence.
In simple and frugal life, the only one who can compare with Chongzhen is the founding Emperor Taizu.
In terms of firm and resolute personality, there seem to be few Emperors of the Ming Dynasty who can compare with Chongzhen.
Therefore, later generations had great sympathy for Chongzhen, an emperor who was diligent, simple, and even pawned palace objects to supplement the country, an emperor who loved learning, respected speech, went to court in old dragon robes, an emperor who approved memorials every day, and an emperor who was unreliable and tragic.
Of course, at this moment, King Xin would not know what happened seventeen years later. His wife died, concubine died, son was beheaded, and his daughter was beheaded by Chongzhen. Even the emperor's sister-in-law was forced to hang herself. Many people in the Ming Dynasty died everywhere. The three hundred years of dynasty finally disappeared.
King Xin could not think about this. At this moment, what he was thinking about was to revive the court and make the Ming Dynasty revival!
The young King Xin was full of confidence, full of vitality and motivation. King Xin glanced at Wei Zhongxian not far away. The first priority was to eradicate Wei Zhongxian and his followers in the shortest time...
Don't worry... King Xin comforted himself, first of all, he had to control the inner court, the Imperial Horse Supervisor had to replace people, the Fourth Guard Battalion, the Warrior Battalion and the Three Guards had to control them, and he should treat the nobles, especially the Duke of England and others, and use their power to check and balance the eunuchs...
Also, we must respect the emperor's sister-in-law. In the short term, the inner court still needs to rely on the emperor's sister-in-law to support it. It will take several months before Concubine Zhou can completely master the inner court and the king of Xin himself master the eunuchs and the imperial guards to be completely safe.
As for Wei Zhongxian and his followers, they were eliminated and eliminated in the process.
King Xin was very reserved and confident. He completely believed that in his own hands, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be much stronger than the current ones, and ZTE was just around the corner.
As for the emperor's brother in the coffin not far away, King Xin looked over with pity and sadness. After all, the emperor's brother treated him well and had always been kind to him. Well, the emperor's brother was too kind to him, so he was overlord by his family slaves, and his power was invaded by his family slaves. What's even more hateful is Keshi. He was the one who was the one who was the wet nurse and was above the nobles and ministers. Keshi must be eliminated.
As for the emperor's brother, he died young and early, which is pitiful, but his posthumous title must not be used as a beautiful posthumous title, and he cannot cover up his mistakes. In this regard, King Xin is also very persistent...
In the hall, only the officials of the Ministry of Rites were discussing the ceremony of succession. Everything was done. Some of them were forgotten. You might as well check the Ming Dynasty Congregation. Such a major event should not be neglected or omitted.
...
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Rites discussed the ceremony and prepared to choose auspicious time on the next day to ask the king to ascend the throne.
The princes, princes, princes, consorts, civil and military officials, and seniors, etc., have three people who have written a note to persuade them to advance.
Order Yu Yun.
He ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a date and provide rituals.
In advance, the department set up a yamen such as the supervisor in Huagai Hall and Chen Yu's seat.
The throne was still set up in Fengtian Hall. The Imperial Heavenly Supervision set up the drum. Shangbao Department set up the treasure case in Fengtian Hall. Honglu Temple set up the table case on Danbi. Jiaofang Department set up the Zhonghe Shao Music, but it was not done. Honglu Temple set up the imperial edict case. The Jinyiwei set up the cloud cover cloud plate in the east of Fengtian Hall.
There is a cloud cover on Chengtian Gate. There is a cloud pedestal outside the Meridian Gate. There is a reading case on Chengtian Gate, facing southwest.
Early on that day, officials were sent to report to heaven, earth, ancestral temples, and country.
The emperor had filial piety clothes, and set up wine and fruit to visit the emperor's banquet in front of the Daxing emperor, and only told him to accept the order.
In front of Fengtian Hall, he set up incense tables, wine, fruits and other items, and put up a crown and garment to express the ceremony of heaven and earth. He followed him to Fengxian Hall to pay homage to his ancestors. He still put up a robe and crown, and went to the emperor's banquet to perform five bows and three bows. Bi. He went to his mother's back and forth, and performed five bows and three bows. Bi.
He went to Fengtian Hall to ascend the throne. On the morning of that day, the bell and drums were ringing. The Jinyiwei set up a large lord.
He garments were robes and crowns, and the Huagai Hall were all in court. All civil and military officials had court robes. He waited for the Honglu Temple to lead the deacon to the Huagai Hall to pay tribute. He praised each of them for offering sacrifices and requested to be promoted to the hall.
The upper part came out of the middle gate and ascended to the throne. The Jinyiwei whipped the whip. The civil and military officials expressed their congratulations.
The emperor ordered all officials to be exempted from congratulations, and the proclamation was exempted from publication, and only five bows and three bowings were performed.
At this point, the ritual rituals were all completed, which was quite solemn and long. So many etiquettes and procedures were nothing more than to show the purity of the inheritor's legal system. They were ordered by heaven and were also promoted and supported by Dukes, Marquis and Bosses and ministers. Finally, they were sacrificed to the First Hall and the Huagai Hall, and they held congratulations, and performed five bows and three bowings. Even if the throne of the emperor was completely settled, the Ming Dynasty would have a new emperor.
...
The rituals and music in the palace are not played. During the mourning period, there will certainly be no music.
There were only dull shouts and the sound of thousands of people bowing down at the same time. The sound was like the thunder in winter, and it could be heard quite clearly even if it was separated by several miles.
Wang Faxiang, Li Guobin, Liu Ji and others looked at each other, and everyone's faces were extremely serious.
When the officials of the court retreated from the left and right gates of Chang'an, Liu Ji said in a heavy tone: "Now start the evacuation plan, should you wait?"
Li Guobin was unwilling to accept it and said, "We are at least good merchants in the capital, and there is no clear illegal sign. Will the court be so unruly and act blatantly?"
"King Xin is not a person who preaches the law." Wang Faxiang said decisively: "My lord has something to say first. Once King Xin ascends the throne, the evacuation plan will be launched immediately. There is no hesitation and delays are allowed!"
"Since that's the case," Liu Ji nodded and said, "The Hansheng Plan will begin."
Li Guobin remained silent, his face full of pain.
The Ministry of War Hutchison's capital has been operating here for more than six years. From the first year of Tianqi to the present, from an ordinary business that is not surprisingly uncommon, to the most well-deserved largest business in the golden business district of Zhengyangmen Street in the capital to Chongwenmen, the Golden Business District. This is really hard work, and the hard work is beyond the reach of people.
Not only is Hutchison's goods cheap and beautiful, but they also occupy a monopoly position, but they also have to have many ways of operating. This is Liu Ji's credit. Dealing with the government and dealing with the powerful and powerful people from all over the country is Li Guobin's job.
It is Wang Faxiang's responsibility to secretly collect intelligence, assassinate too arrogant and domineering local tyrants, and threaten the powerful people in the capital.
The three of them cooperated and relied on each other. Over the years, they made the power of Hutchison in the capital continue to grow and grow.
Commercially speaking, the capital semicolon of Hutchison has radiated to the entire northern Zhili, including Jizhen to Yongping and Shanhaiguan, directly to Ningyuan's boundary, and to the south is the entire Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and all the way to northern Jiangsu and northern Hubei Shashi.
It can be said that in addition to the Hutchison's semicolons in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia Wei and other places, the capital's semicolon handles the most commercial affairs and accounts for a higher business share within the Hutchison system.
Of course, this is also the merit of the headquarters, including accounts, insurance, and the distribution of various goods, personnel allocation and support. There is no headquarters or the achievements of the capital's semi-colon. Liu Ji and others also know this clearly.
Even so, the achievements made by the Capital Semi-Colon are quite amazing. Whether it is management, connections, intelligence collection, or spy wars against the Later Jin Dynasty, they are all invincible. In addition to the unique conditions of the Capital, they can achieve such a great achievement. Liu Ji, Li Guobin and Wang Faxiang are really making great contributions.
The three of them are also officials of the marching department and deputy officer of the marching department. Their status is quite good, which is also a reward for their hard work for many years. If it were other marching department, they would have been promoted to the marching department to do things long ago, but the capital, like Taiwan, has a special status and cannot be replaced easily, so the three of them have been partnering in the capital and have never been replaced.
At the beginning of the evacuation plan, the semicolons of the capital and several important towns in the north were first started, and then the semicolons were closed one after another, or turned to darkness. The plan of Hutchison was a hero who cut off his arm and almost instantly gave up most of the profits in the north of the Ming Dynasty.
