Chapter 158 The Edict
The emperor's wedding is by no means the end of the bridal chamber.The next day was the day when the queen met the two palaces. Zhu Yijun and Zhuang Jingjia overcame the urge to sleep in, got up early, and wore wedding attire according to the etiquette to visit the two palaces.

Because Empress Dowager Li has returned to the palace and no longer has the identity of Empress Dowager Bingzheng, she should accept the court after Empress Dowager Chen.When Zhu Yijun was reviewing the entire wedding process, he was afraid that Empress Dowager Li would lose her heart, so she asked Empress Dowager Chen to take care of it, and planned to worship Empress Dowager Li first today.

The Empress Dowager Chen had a temperament of indifference to the world. Zhu Yijun said what he thought, and the Empress Dowager Chen nodded in agreement.Immediately, Zhu Yijun arranged for someone to report back to Cisheng, but Cisheng firmly refused - so Zhu Yijun finally brought the queen to Ciqing Palace first.

After the people from the left and right palaces led the emperor to the Ciqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Chen was full of spring breeze and rose to the throne.Since Zhu Yijun crossed over, except when the Empress Dowager Chen accepted the congratulations on her birthday, she has rarely seen her dressed so grandly.

After the Empress Dowager ascended the throne, the main entrance of Ciqing Palace was wide open, and the palace servants stood on the left side of the Empress Dowager holding a plate with repairs.The so-called "Xiu Xiu" is also recorded in "Book of Rites. Inner Principles", which is the ant egg paste made from ant eggs, which is used for "the emperor's feeding" and "sacrificial rituals", and is also a delicacy on the feast.

The internal officials praised, and Zhu Yijun and the queen bowed four times outside the palace gate.The two deacons raised the case to the center of the Ciqing Palace.Empress Dowager Chen had a smile on her face, and she called out in a warm voice. She called her hand to call Zhuang Jingjia into the inner hall, touched her hand and asked in a low voice.

Zhuang Jingjia blushed slightly, and answered a few words in a low voice, but Zhu Yijun couldn't hear it clearly outside the hall.Zhang Hong, the supervisor of the ceremonies next to Empress Chen, coughed in a low voice, reminding Empress Dowager Chen that this was nothing of the etiquette system.

Empress Dowager Chen glanced at Zhang Hong and said, "Our mothers are talking about self-discipline. What are you coughing? You know that you are kowtowing and praying, and this person's heart has been chilled by you!" Zhang Hong said, unable to stand, knelt down and pleaded guilty .

Empress Dowager Chen smiled again and said to Zhuang Jingjia: "Don't pay attention to him. Although the rules in this palace are big, they can't control you and me. If you come to my palace more in the future, you will also drag the emperor here, don't let him. Staying up all night dealing with state affairs is exhausting my body.”

Zhuang Jingjia bowed her head and agreed.Empress Dowager Chen asked the emperor how he treated her?Zhuang Jingjia understood what the Queen Mother meant, and blushed and returned the word "okay", like a mosquito humming.

The Empress Dowager Chen asked Zhuang Jingjia again: "Can you play mahjong? It's interesting to say that this mahjong was 'invented' by the emperor. It's really interesting!"

Zhuang Jingjia shook her head and replied, "My concubine will not." Empress Dowager Chen encouraged her to learn quickly, and opened her mouth to read the mahjong scriptures.

Seeing that it was not the head, Zhu Yijun also broke the ceremony and entered the palace with a smile: "The mother, the son and the bride have to go to the Cining Palace, and in two days, let Jing Jiazhuan come to see the mother to learn this mahjong." Queen Mother Chen let Zhuang Jingjia go.

Afterwards, Zhuang Jingjia followed the emperor out of the palace, and bowed again in the sound of praise from the internal officials.Mrs. Chen looked back, motioned to Shanggong beside her, and brought the plate with oysters to Zhuang Jingjia, who put it on the table in front of the palace and worshipped again.

The inner official praised: "Complete the ceremony!" Zhu Yijun sighed, and after saying a few words to the Queen Mother Chen, he went straight to the Cining Palace with Zhuang Jingjia.

The ceremony outside the Cining Palace was brief, and Mrs. Li also had a smile on her back. She was greeted by the emperor and the empress.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhuang Jingjia returned to Kunning Palace, while Zhu Yijun returned to Qianqing Palace to deal with the memorial.

The third day is Thanksgiving Day. Early in the morning, Zhu Yijun no longer wears his new wedding dress, but wears the emperor's robe.Today, the two palaces are going to call the queen in to speak. Yesterday, Empress Dowager Chen let the queen enter the inner hall directly, which is indeed a violation of the wedding process, but she let the queen enter the room in advance, which is also a gesture of goodwill.

Afterwards, the two returned to the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Yijun changed into his mian clothes, put on a leather jacket, and ascended his seat.Zan cited the female official to lead the queen, came forward to pay homage to the throne, and paid eight homages to Zhu Yijun.After this worship, the newly-married equality period between Zhu Yijun and Zhuang Jingjia ended, and the two divided the ruler and ministers in terms of etiquette at this time.

After Zhuang Jingjia paid tribute to the emperor, he drove back to Kunning Palace, put on the queen's tiara, and ascended the throne.The internal officials invited King Lu, the princess and other relatives of the Zhu family to pay homage to the queen for eight salutations, and Princess Leping was among them.After this worship, the division between monarch and ministers between King Lu, the princess and the queen is clearly expressed. For them, the queen is the king and they are the ministers.

Afterwards, Zhuang Jingjia's mother and sister who entered the palace early in the morning and waited in Kunning Palace, that is, Zhu Yijun's mother-in-law, sister-in-law and other relatives, paid eight salutations to Zhuang Jingjia.This is still to use the ritual system to cut off the family, so that everyone understands the distinction between the ruler and the minister.

When Zhuang Jingjia seized the opportunity to finish talking with her mother and sister, the female official led Liu Shang and other female officials to the hall for eight salutations.Afterwards, he invited the internal officials and envoys of the various supervisory bureaus of the inner court to make eight salutations.The purpose of this visit is to let these people know the queen, and to clarify the status of the master of the queen's harem from a legal point of view.

At the end of Zhu Yijun in the Qianqing Palace, when the Queen's gratitude and gratitude are over, she will be enshrined in the Heavenly Palace.The decree promulgated to China and foreign countries: "I am only in the position of the two ceremonies, and I am the one who inherits the universe and the kun, the empress dowager of the Virgin Mary, the empress dowager of the Virgin Mary, and the empress dowager of the Virgin Mary. Announcing the heaven and earth and the ancestral temple, on the [-]th day of the third month of the fifth month of the Wanli year, the Zhuang clan was established as the queen, and he was placed in the middle palace. To jointly inherit the ancestral worship and support the two palaces, Zhaofeng was transformed in Jiuwei, and Mianben was supported by thousands of generations. Announcement at home and abroad. Xian Make it known."

After this edict was promulgated, all states and subjects all over the world knew that the harem had a master, and he was the Zhuang family.

The next two days are the Day of Congratulation and the Day of Receiving Gifts.Early in the morning on the fourth day, the civil and military officials wore court clothes to celebrate.Zhu Yijun put his crown on the palace and built the palace.Afterwards, Zhu Yijun ascended to the hall, and the leading officers led the way, and all the officers entered to express their congratulations.

On the same day, the queen accepted the prince's sons to enter the inner palace to celebrate the eighth salutation, and the outer ordered the woman to enter the palace for the eighth salutation.The empress dowagers of the two palaces also went up to the halls in their own gowns, and received congratulations from women ordered from inside and outside.

On the last day of the long wedding ceremony, the Empress wanted to show how daughters-in-law should serve their mother-in-law.The queen wore a formal dress to the two palaces, and passed the meal.The queen to the queen mother's case, four worship.The female official of the Shang Food Bureau gave the queen the meal, and the queen brought the meal to the table, and then bowed four times and retreated to the southwest direction of the queen mother.After the queen mother took a few bites, she returned to the palace after the ceremony.

It is not easy to be the queen, and it is not easy to be the daughter-in-law of the queen mother.Zhuang Jingjia saluted and accepted like a puppet these days, and she couldn't smile because of the etiquette in the palace.Fortunately, the emperor's company at Kunning Palace every night made her feel better.

As a modern person, Zhu Yijun was afraid that Zhuang Jingjia would become pregnant at a young age, so he did not have fun with her every day, and he also used some means when he was happy.Zhuang Jingjia asked him why he was like this, and Zhu Yijun gave her a physical hygiene class.

Although the two of them were good friends, Zhuang Jingjia was still blocked when the wedding was over. The emperor issued an decree by the order of the two palaces, canonizing Wang's sister Xi as Concubine Zhao, and the famous Yang's as Concubine Yi, and ordered " The Ministry of Rites will choose a day to hear about it."

The two concubines settled, and then the nine concubines took their place. Compared with Zhuang Jingjia's pomp, the difference between heaven and earth was only carried in a sedan chair from the side gate of the imperial city.The canonization ceremony of the two concubines can be more complicated. The duke and the ministers preside over the canonization in the Jinshen Hall, but compared with the treatment enjoyed by Zhuang Jingjia, it cannot be calculated.

Even though the concubines and concubines who were canonized wanted to salute the queen, they could only stand and serve when the queen was present, but Empress Zhuang felt as if a ball of cotton was stuck in her heart.What's even more irritating is that the Shangyi Bureau will enter the list of concubines every day, and the queen will arrange Zhu Yijun's accommodation for the night - this power is so poisonous that Zhuang Jingjia almost clenched his teeth.

However, the objects on Zhu Yijun's body are also called "the umbilical cord of history". No matter how frustrating Zhuang Jingjia is in her heart, she has to pretend to be generous and does not dare to spoil her.Zhu Yijun is more particular about this. Except for one night in Concubine Zhao and Concubine Yi, all the rest of the time, regardless of the queen's arrangement, Zhu Yijun rejected it and took the initiative to live in Kunning Palace, which made Zhuang Jingjia Feel better.

As the wedding dust settled, Zhu Yijun turned his energy to politics.On March 26, Zhu Yijun issued the first imperial edict after pro-government: "Since I ascended the throne, I have diligently pursued governance, dared not to encourage pro-government, and diligently love the people. Although the national economy is getting richer, it still cannot benefit the world. It is pitiful for billions of people to be fed. Whenever there is a disaster, it will hurt thousands of people and cannot be saved. I care for the people of Sisi, and I would rather not be ashamed?

"It has been two hundred and nine years since the ancestors established the pole! When the world is different, things are different, and when the times change, the situation changes. It is good and there is a good method, and one law can be used for eternity? To rule today, we should govern the world with the power of creation. It is not appropriate to govern the world with the trend of maintaining success; the world should be governed with the trend of accommodating all rivers, and the world should not be governed with the trend of unifying the clothes! If the principles of innovation are renewed, good laws can lead to the governance of the world; "

"To govern the world, you must examine and choose the way to govern, and then transport it. Yi said: 'The new day is called Shengde.' The book says: 'People only seek the old, and tools only seek the new'. Zhongyong said: 'Review the old' And know the new'. The old and the new, the rise and fall of the past and the present, the road to rise and fall remains. For those who are in politics and governance, would you rather not think deeply?"

"I want to revolutionize politics now, and inherit the will of heaven to open up new governance. Yi said: 'Qianyuan uses nine, the world is civilized', this is my ambition."

"And the way to govern is to win people. Today, Zhang Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shuanglu of the Earl of Food, and Grand Scholar of the Zhongji Palace, has already started all the common affairs. Enriching the country, nourishing the people, clerics, governing the army, and talents are all things done without waiting for me to ask.

From this special edict: Immediately add Zhang Juzheng's title of "Cabinet Prime Minister" to reward him for his diligence and devotion to his post, and for his achievements in declining and revitalizing; to clarify my political reform, and to innovate and seek governance.Although it is a reward, it shows that I am conscientious and sincere, and that I am worthy of my fists and fists—let the minister not resign! "

 Well, the big marriage is over, and there will be some harem life after that.Zhu Yijun's reform will gradually move forward from the shallow water area to the deep water area. The chapter of Lao Mo was indeed written with great care-sincerely asking for votes!
