Prince of Chaos

Chapter 271
Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, and the six ministers, led by Chen Ju, went to the warm room of the hot spring villa.

Emperor Wanli was fully dressed at this time and was waiting for their arrival.Zhu Changluo also served and stood beside Emperor Wanli.

Shen Shixing knelt down and saluted immediately after entering the warm room.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, and may my emperor live forever."

Then he bowed to Zhu Changluo: "Your Majesty and I will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When they pressed their palms to the ground, not only did their palms not feel the coldness of early winter, but a warm heat was transmitted to their palms.This situation reminded them of the Xishan floor heating that had been circulating for a few years.

However, at this time, this issue was no longer what shishixing and the others thought about.Because, there are more important things waiting for them.

Emperor Wanli looked at Shen Shixing and the others, and said, "Get up, and give Mr. Shen a seat."

In this way, among the dozen or so people, only Shen Shihang was given a seat.

It looked like everyone was there.Emperor Wanli said again: "I called you here today because I have something to tell you."

Shen Shixing and others replied: "I will listen to the oracle carefully."

Emperor Wanli turned to Chen Ju and said, "Proclaim the decree."

Then Chen Ju took out a written imperial decree behind Emperor Wanli.

Chen Ju opened the imperial decree, and shouted in a controlled tone: "There is a decree."

Zhu Changluo, Shen Shixing and others all knelt down again to accept the order.

Chen Ju began to read the content of the imperial decree.

"Fengtian inherits the emperor, restricts: only the born man, shepherds the Yuan Dynasty; the Weihuang establishes the country, and the deputy is the prince. The general will protect the Sui family and stabilize the heirs. If you don’t sleep, you will forget to be tired every day. In the vast world, you are afraid of one person’s life; The change of wind follows the story of the previous dynasty. The crown prince Chang Luo, who is benevolent and filial because of his heart, gentle and respectful, profound and rational, able to distinguish the emperor's will, should be ordered to supervise the country, and serve as a government. The sixth grade has been removed from the teaching. The crime of being a disciple has been committed, and the crown prince will be punished. This is it."

As soon as Chen Ju finished reading this eloquent imperial decree to supervise the country, before everyone could react, Zhu Changluo had already kowtowed to accept the decree.

Although the decree stated that Zhu Changluo only cared about the appointment of officials below the sixth rank and the decision of punishment and prison below the crime, but in fact it was absolutely not the case, because Emperor Wanli also told the story of obeying the previous dynasty.

The princes who really supervised the country in the Ming Dynasty were the grandson Emperor Zhu Yunqi’s short-lived father, Prince Yiwen, and Emperor Renzong, who was so fat that he was panting while walking. When these two brothers were in charge of the country, their power was beyond imagination.Especially when Emperor Renzong was supervising the country, he specially engraved a seal of "Treasure of Supervising the Country".Therefore, the following two sentences are nothing more than a standard imperial decree language.

However, even so, in the early stage, Zhu Changluo still had to be a little more careful, and slowly try the power in his hands to see how the court reacted.
After Zhu Changluo finished receiving the order, Chen Ju sang again to the ministers: "All ministers pay homage to the Crown Prince of Jian Guo."

Then, Zhu Changluo stood aside holding the imperial decree. When Shen Shixing realized this time, they immediately got up and paid respects to Zhu Changluo again.

"The ministers and others will see His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Jian Guo, and His Highness is thousands of years old."

Zhu Changluo accepted the obeisance from all the officials, and then said: "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Prince."

At this time, everyone got up and stood aside in a daze, still trying to digest what happened just now in their minds.

Although it was not the first time that the Crown Prince supervised the country in Daming, it was definitely the first time in 50 years!
In everyone's subconscious, since Emperor Jing (Zhu Qiyu) came out, the emperors of all dynasties have valued power far beyond imagination.

Especially when it came to Emperor Xianzong, Emperor Xianzong directly encircled the crown prince's power and etiquette through customized methods, and it was impossible for the crown prince to participate in government affairs.

Although times have changed, the rules have not changed.Therefore, when everyone faced this expected and unexpected result, the expressions on their faces were still a bit shocked.

After seeing all the officials bowing to Zhu Changluo, Emperor Wanli said: "In the future, you must assist the prince well. You must treat the prince with the same respect as you treat me."

Shen Shixing and others immediately replied: "I will obey the order."

After finishing this matter, Emperor Wanli was not in the mood to talk to these ministers anymore.

Emperor Wanli directly said to Zhu Changluo: "Prince, you will be the supervisor of the country from now on. You and the cabinet handle matters in the court as appropriate. Now you go back, don't delay state affairs."

Zhu Changluo bowed to Emperor Wanli, "I obey the order."

Just when Zhu Changluo was about to salute and leave, Emperor Wanli stopped Zhu Changluo again, "Prince, you stay first, I still have something to say."

When Zhu Changluo heard what Emperor Wanli said, he immediately stopped and stood beside Emperor Wanli.

But Shen Shixing and others knelt down and resigned one after another, leaving the warm room.

Outside the warm room, Shen Shixing and other ministers felt the cold wind outside, and they finally came back to their senses.

"I didn't expect that the prince would supervise the country in the future."

Dali Siqing, who was at the bottom of the ranking, sighed as soon as he left the door.

Shen Shixing turned his head and glanced at Dali Siqing, and then said: "If you have nothing to do, go back to the yamen to do errands earlier. His Royal Highness is the first supervisor of the country, and there must be a lot of things to understand. Go up and let the crown prince see it in person."

After listening to Shen Shixing's words, the ministers of the six ministries immediately replied, "Yes, Yuanfu."

Then, everyone went back in the carriage with different moods.

On the carriage going back, Shen Sixiao who had been sitting beside Fan Qian and Sun Piyang actually sat in the middle this time.

Shen Sixiao saw that the two ministers were so humble, he was not polite, he just sat down on the middle seat, but said: "How can I, He De, sit in the first place? The two officials of the Ministry of Justice gone."

Fan Qian and Sun Piyang looked at each other, and then said: "Shen Butang is the oldest, the two of us are younger brothers in front of you, we should sit in Shen Butang's hands."

Shen Sixiao smiled and said, "This is so embarrassing."

The three of them are now as close as half-brothers who have been separated for many years, and they are playing a warm and touching brotherhood in the carriage.

Who would have thought that the Ministry of Industry, which ranks at the bottom among the six, would have made such a huge leap in a short period of time.The most fundamental reason for this leap is because of the crown prince's relationship.

Everyone knows that the Ministry of Industry is now doing business with the crown prince, oh no, it's for errands.Shen Shilang, who was originally unknown and was about to retire and return to his hometown, became the hottest Shen Butang after going around in circles. Now, because of Zhu Changluo's appointment as supervisor of the country, he seems to be the head of the six departments.

It can be seen that the wonder of fate is really everywhere.
