Chapter Two
"Bastard! So noisy! Do you want me to eat rice dumplings?"
Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was dreaming of opening his mouth to bite the rice dumplings, but suddenly he was woken up and cursed in anger.
May's prune flowers are gorgeously baked,
The green willows are drooping with rain.
Five-color new silk zoo zongzi,
Gift to gold plate,
Drawing of raw silk fan plate with double phoenixes.
It's the season when bathing orchids,
The beautiful and clear wine of calamus is common.
When the leaves are yellow and black,
Still supple,
Breaking the dream of the window.
The song "Fisherman Pride" written by Ouyang Xiu by the Prince's Grand Tutor Zhang Juzheng is very well written, but it is extremely difficult to memorize. After finally finishing memorizing it, Zhang Juzheng brought a plate of fragrant rice dumplings as a reward. He just peeled one, but disappeared in an instant, so it would be strange if he didn't scold him.
His original name is Su Sheng. He had just traveled from modern times and was a top student in the command department of Nanjing Military Academy. Just the day before yesterday, he, known as the idol of many females, actually lost to a beautiful freshman in a simulated confrontation. He was so angry that he trotted back to the dormitory and covered his face with a pillow. Who would have thought that when he woke up, he would travel to the Ming Dynasty and become the prince.
These days, he has met many people, including his mother, Concubine Li, Prince's Grand Tutor Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao, Chief Secretary of the Internal Affairs, and Gao Gong, Chief Minister.
I opened my eyes vaguely and found that this place did not seem to be my Eastern Palace. But when I arrived at a strange place, bells were ringing everywhere, gongs and drums were ringing, and my eyes were covered with yellow and white ornaments, and the curtains were all over the sky.
Why was he so sad when he heard this music? He rubbed his eyes and saw a group of men and women in front of him kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times in front of him, howling and crying.
My father just died a few days ago. Could it be him?
He blinked hard and realized that this was in the main hall where the father usually handled government affairs.
A man stood up in the crowd, in a high tone: "Long live! Your Majesty Longqing, the Nine Heavens Purple Star, descended to earth! Why did you abandon us and leave? How sad my emperor! How sad my emperor!"
He knew this person, Gao Gong, the chief minister of the current dynasty, and the chief minister appointed by his father before his death.
What is he doing? Today is the day of his father's funeral? It shouldn't have arrived yet? Why didn't anyone notify him in advance?
Just as he was thinking, Gao Gong suddenly came quickly with everyone!
He was extremely tall and walked like a flying person. He picked himself up and put him on a big chair.
Is this he?
I saw an old eunuch wearing yellow and white clothes next to me taking a step forward. This man was Feng Bao, the court ceremonial supervisor who was close to his father and the chief supervisor of the internal affairs.
Before he could look at him, Gao Gong took a step back, took a yellow cloth from Feng Bao, and recited loudly: "Subsisting the will of heaven, the emperor's will. Now he will pass on the position of Grand Priest and the third emperor's son Zhu Yijun. I hope that all the ministers should take the country and country as the basis, and worship Yijun as I am. My son Yijun should follow the three ministers Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Yi and the chief etiquette Feng Bao, to learn and cultivate virtue, use wise men to protect the imperial career. I respect this."
As soon as I finished reciting, I heard a "hula" sound. All the people present knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
Zhu Yijun was shocked and was about to answer. The lobby was already silent. Everyone bowed their heads and knelt down, and no one dared to look up.
He vaguely remembered that a few days ago, the mother asked Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to discuss it together. He said that once the day of ascension to the throne came, as the crown prince, he must be humble and polite, but he cannot give in and keep a good sense of responsibility. There will be no mistakes in inheriting the throne.
However, the last agreement did not say that the ascension of the throne would be carried out today. No one told me why I was in such a hurry.
He didn't know that just after lunch today, an assassination broke out in the East Palace!
Five masters from the martial arts world took advantage of a heavy rain and rushed to the front yard of the East Palace. If Feng Bao had not sent someone to arrive in advance, the prince would have been stabbed to death.
He was blessed to sleep soundly in the inner courtyard of the East Palace without knowing it at all. However, when his mother and Zhang Juzheng heard Feng Bao's urgent report, they were shocked and frightened. They immediately decided to send a funeral in advance, and Gao Gong suggested that the prince ascend the throne quickly.
He looked at Feng Bao with help. Feng Bao seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, shook his head gently and winked.
After receiving the prompt, he felt confident and coughed lightly.
Gao Gong heard the cough and quickly raised his head. Seeing the prince waved his hand at him, he was shocked and kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty! You are so sad, I am so deeply. But the country must not be without a king for a day! Please follow the instructions of the late emperor and ascend to the throne as soon as possible!"
The people in the hall shouted again.
Zhu Yijun was so anxious that he waved his hand again, no! He would definitely not be able to drive the ducks on the shelves like this! Besides, if he really got into the throne, how could he bear it if so many people shouted in front of him every day?
But at this moment, Gao Gong looked like his eyes were on his forehead. Seeing him waved his hands again, he hugged his hands in a hurry and said loudly: "Your Majesty! I am also deeply involved in the grief of the death of the previous emperor. However, since ancient times, if a new king does not establish a new king, the country will be in chaos! Gao Gong bears the importance of the previous emperor's entrusting his or her orphans, and will imitate Zhuge Kongming, devote his entire life to it, and die!"
When Zhu Yijun heard it at the end, he remembered the story of the Three Kingdoms told by Zhang Juzheng, and couldn't help but curl his lips out. He devoted himself to his entire life and died. Gao Gong was quite crazy and dared to compare himself with Zhuge Liang, but I don't think of that idiot A Dou!
What should I do if I can't push it off?
From ancient times to the present, if the young emperor fails to ascend the throne, he will be demoted to a commoner and even be consumed with poisoned wine to death! The Han Shao Emperor and Han Xian Emperor in the Three Kingdoms have all ended up like this.
This is the third time, are you still refusing? Will it become the original saying that it is not good to just give in!
At this time, he noticed that there were many beautiful concubines with ebony and broadband standing in front of the left. The one in the middle was his biological mother, Concubine Li!
He looked at it in a hurry, but found that she was lowering her head.
Mother! What should the child do next? At least you can look at him!
When he was anxious, Concubine Li, who was calm and composed, finally raised her head and nodded slightly, meaning that the etiquette had arrived, so there was no need to give in!
He was overjoyed, looked calm and nodded fiercely!
Gao Gong was also very happy. He knelt on his knees and walked forward several steps, holding the ground with both hands, and pressing his forehead to the ground: "The country has a master, and the country is lucky! Long live my emperor!"
Everyone followed him again, bowing three times and nine times, and shouting long live the mountain. This time the voice was particularly loud, as if it was announcing a new beginning.
Gao Gong slowly stood up and walked slowly: "Although the emperor is young today, he has given his position three times, which shows that his loyalty and filial piety will be recorded in history and praised by the world!"
A historian immediately stood up in the crowd, took out a brush and brocade, and quickly wrote.
Gao Gong stopped when he was nearly ten feet tall: "Please move! Take a bath and change your clothes! The throne ceremony will be held on a date!"
Ascend the throne as soon as you ascend the throne. Although you are young, being an emperor is definitely no worse than others! Zhu Yijun's heart gathered a hint of heroism, and he slapped the handrail and stood up. Everyone below was shocked, including Gao Gong, and they all lowered their heads quickly.
Feng Bao, who had just held the will, walked behind him, lowered his head and supported his arm, and walked out of the hall.
When he walked out the door, he looked back and saw three powerful big characters on the door plaque - "Ganqing Palace"!
How could he know that these few waves and nods just now have achieved the "three-in-one position" that has been recorded in history, and his name Zhu Yijun will also be the beginning of a new era of a generation of emperors!
...
After leaving the Ganqing Palace and passing through the Imperial Garden, Feng Bao kept pulling him forward.
The imperial garden was large and wide, and staggered. However, he knew that it was not the time to stroll in the garden, so he turned around and looked around. Not far away, his mother, Concubine Li, was following behind him.
He asked Feng Bao: "Feng Bao! Do we need to wait for our mother to go back together here?"
Feng Bao followed his eyes, shook his head, and kindly reminded him: "Young Master! Concubine Li deliberately left behind slowly, so let's go back to the East Palace first."
He nodded, continued to walk forward, and then asked, "Why is today so sudden? It was said that these days were the days, but I didn't say it was today. I was not prepared at all and I haven't woken up yet!"
Feng Bao was closer to him and whispered: "Young Master! You don't know, it's enough to be hungry today! Several experts from the world didn't know how to sneak into the palace. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, the five most powerful figures actually rushed to the outer courtyard of the East Palace. If I hadn't heard the warning, I sent Qinglong, Zhuque and others to attack quickly, which would have almost made a big mistake! So Concubine Li summoned me and the Grand Tutor to discuss urgently, and immediately decided to send a funeral in advance. You were sleeping heavily at that time, and had no choice but to carry you directly to the Ganqing Palace!"
Zhu Yijun nodded. He had already arrived at the outer courtyard of the East Palace. Seeing Feng Bao pointing his finger to the rubble that had not been cleaned yet, he couldn't help but feel scared. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Ahhhhhhh! Who did this?"
Feng Baoluo pondered and replied, "Reply to the young master's words! As expected, it should be Concubine Zhang and the fifth prince Zhu Cunxiao! Zhu Cunxiao inherited the ranks after you. Seeing that they had some time to ascend the throne, they wanted to gamble, and be brave to act like courage and do today's dirty actions!"
Zhu Yijun's teeth bit even harder: "It's a good thing I treat this younger brother normally, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel! Chou filial, Chou filial, what's your filial piety? Aren't you ignoring your father's will? Kill me!"
Feng Bao seemed to have seen too many bloody storms in these palaces, and smiled and cheered him up: "Young Master, don't worry! Now we work together. No matter how scheming they are, for us, they are like Sun Wukong who is ignorant of the vastness of the sky and the earth. No matter how hard they are, they cannot escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha!"
Hearing Feng Bao say this, he felt a little relieved and asked with a more thoughtful look: "Feng Bao! Tell me, can you sit in this position firmly in such a bloody and bloody manner?"
Feng Bao looked around and whispered: "Don't worry, Master! You must sit steadily! I am currently serving as the chief supervisor of the home office and the supervisor of the East Factory, and I will definitely strive to ensure the safety of the master! However, the master is worried that it is reasonable. Now the danger is Concubine Zhang. She supports Zhu Cunxiao but has not succeeded, so she will definitely have actions. In addition, the chief minister Gao Gong, who is arrogant and wants to take over power again. The most difficult thing is that we still have to rely on him."
Concubine Zhang! Zhu Cunxiao! And Gao Gong! You guys, I have to steam you all. But I heard that human flesh is not delicious, and after I get rid of you, I will eat my favorite spicy hotpot in my life.
Thinking of this, he nodded vigorously and ordered Feng Bao: "My mother is already behind. You can send someone to invite the Grand Tutor Zhang Juzheng, and we will discuss it immediately!"
"Yes!" Feng Bao received the order and took the opportunity to shoot: "The young master performed very well today, completely following the low-key handling discussed in the past few days. Among them, the three modest and humble approaches were even more vague. Even the arrogant Gao Gong had to ask the historian to write a special book "Three Give His Positions"!"
Zhu Yijun was very helpful, but Feng Bao still listened to him. Although he sounded a little feminine, he was ten thousand times stronger than Gao Gong, who was as angry as thunder.
...
Concubine Li slowly followed behind her. She was less than forty years old and was about to become the empress dowager. She was very excited, but she was still worried.
