Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 224

Zhu Yunying, the grandson of the emperor, has not appeared in the court for nearly a month, and even on his birthday, he only celebrated with the clan and relatives.Even some confidant ministers couldn't see Zhu Yunying, he kept shrinking in the East Palace.

Even though many people knew that the memorial was still approved by the emperor's grandson, everyone tacitly pretended to be deaf and dumb on these matters.

Suddenly seeing the grandson of the emperor appearing in the court, many people were also very excited and excited, they knew that the general situation had been settled.The emperor's grandson's previous concealment was actually just to avoid suspicion.Even if there is some meaning of unnecessary actions, everyone knows that according to some etiquette, Zhu Yunying, the grandson of the emperor, should also avoid suspicion.

But there is no need to think about these things now, because the general situation is set, and if nothing happens, His Majesty the Emperor will issue an abdication edict in the next few days.In a few days, we will see the new emperor enthroned, and Daming will finally usher in the second emperor.

Lao Zhu, who looked in good health before, faltered, and many civil and military ministers felt numb.His Majesty the emperor was sick when he wanted to be sick, and seriously ill when he wanted to be seriously ill.The day before, he was still alive and well, and he was persuading everyone in the court, but the day after, he became seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed.

Being willing to pretend to be confused, being too shrewd at this time is not a good thing, everyone is willing to pretend to be confused, just cooperate with acting.

Zhu Yunying, who had no expression on his face, acted like strangers should not enter, and did not intend to speak or communicate with the officials.Since I have to act in a play, I have to play a full set. Now it's really not suitable to talk to everyone immediately, just keep it simple.

Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, coughed a few times, and said slowly, "These days, I have also figured it out, it is not a good thing to be in love with power and position. Thinking about Han Wu and Tang Taizong, they were all heroic kings when they were young. In his later years, he often became dull. In his later years, Sui Wen Yang Jian was even more suspicious, slaughtered heroes, abolished the prince, and even died in the second generation of the Sui Dynasty."

Fengtian Hall was silent, only Lao Zhu's voice kept echoing.

Looking at the court, Lao Zhu said, "I will abdicate immediately, and the imperial edict has been written. Zongzheng of the clan's mansion and Minister of the Ministry of Rites, declare the edict!"

All the officials knelt down one after another, and Ren Hengtai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, kowtowed and accepted the imperial edict.Jin Wang Zhu Yan stood aside, carefully watching every word on the imperial decree, and he did not dare to be sloppy at this time.

Zhu Yunying knelt down on the ground, although she had long been mentally prepared for this moment.But at this moment, Zhu Yunying's mind was also muddled, and he was so dizzy that he could hardly hear any sound.

"The grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunying, will succeed to the throne soon!"

"Long live my emperor!"

After Ren Hengtai declared the edict full of enthusiasm, Zhu Yunying came back to his senses at once when the ministers shouted long live.

Lao Zhu has officially announced his abdication, and the abdication edict has been issued.And the next big drama will naturally be Zhu Yunying's ascension to the throne.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying who seemed to be still in a daze with a smile, and walked off the dragon chair with a smile.Grabbing Zhu Yunying's wrist, Zhu Yunying followed Lao Zhu mechanically.

Pressing Zhu Yunying's shoulders hard, looking at Zhu Yunying with red eyes, Lao Zhu also felt a little emotional, "Don't make people laugh at the little children's posture, we have all abdicated, and it's time for you to sit on the dragon chair. Let's see, let the emperor Grandpa watched the ministers pay homage to their new king."

Zhu Yunying's voice was choked with sobs, and he grabbed Lao Zhu's arm with both hands, "Grandfather, please sit down."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing out loud, and then said, "Okay, let's sit down!"

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu sat side by side on the dragon chair, looking at the tall and straight Zhu Yunying, Lao Zhu also became serious, "All officials, civil and military, pay homage to the new king!"

At this time, Zhu Yan was winking, leaving work early, and knelt down.When Zhu Yunying subconsciously wanted to stand up, old Zhu dragged Zhu Yunying to prevent Zhu Yunying from standing up.

At this time, Zhu Yan said loudly, "Shanhu!"

The civil and military officials immediately knelt down, put their hands on their foreheads, and responded loudly, "Long live!"

Zhu Yan said again, "Shanhu!"

"Long live!"

"Mountain hoo!"

"Long live!"

When Zhu Yan led all the officials to kneel down to worship the new king, the musicians and military academy officials all shouted in unison.

Long live Long live Long live!

The sound from Fengtian Temple was loud enough that it passed through Fengtian Gate and went straight out of Meridian Gate.

Old Zhu laughed loudly, and took Dagui from the tray brought by Fugui, "Ying'er, I will hand over this land to you!"

Zhu Xiongying got up immediately, knelt down and raised his hands above his head, "Sunchen Zhu Yunying, remember the instruction."

Seeing Zhu Yunying take over Dagui, Lao Zhu was not at all reluctant.The country he worked so hard to lay down was for his descendants, he just hoped to see his descendants have a future, and see the orderly inheritance of Ming Dynasty's society, and the society will last for thousands of years!
Turning around and looking at the officials who were still kneeling, Lao Zhu said, "We have seen it, and it will be an auspicious day in three days. The new emperor Yunying will ascend the throne in three days! Lovers, do your best, and don't let the new king down." Hope!"

After saying this, Old Zhu turned around gracefully.This dragon-walking tiger-walker doesn't have the faltering posture when he went to court.

Zhu Yunying just knelt, and the officials also knelt, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads to see Lao Zhu's back.

After about half a stick of incense, Zhu Yunying slowly got up.He didn't sit on the dragon chair, he was able to sit on the dragon chair just now under the leadership of Lao Zhu, but the enthronement ceremony hadn't started yet, Xiao Zhu didn't want to be picked on by people about these things.

"Loves, please rest." Zhu Yunying said slowly, "The state affairs are busy these days, and all ministries must remember to do their duties well, and don't delay the political affairs because of some things. Let's do it like this today, and retire from the court."

After saying this, Zhu Yunying also turned and left.Now that his heart is surging, he doesn't have any thoughts on dealing with the government affairs.

In fact, the same is true of civil and military officials, even if they knew that some things would definitely happen.But this time in the early court, the emperor directly issued an abdication edict. Such decisiveness caught many people off guard, and many people did not expect that the emperor would abdicate so simply.

What a lot of people were thinking at this time didn't seem to be particularly important to Zhu Yunying.Doing his job well is the most important thing for Zhu Yunying, and this is what he should do well.

There are no secrets that can be hidden in the palace, and this matter is cleared by many people.What happened in Fengtian Temple, many people naturally knew what was going on, and everyone knew what would happen next.

Some guards and maids looked at Zhu Yunying at this moment, and they also had different meanings.

Zhu Yunying didn't go to Qianqing Palace, just continue to nest in the East Palace.This is not to avoid suspicion, it is mainly to take a look at it a little bit, what should be prepared still needs to be prepared, but it can't be lost at a critical moment, Zhu Yunying still has to care about this matter.

Little Zhu likes to wear new clothes, but this kid doesn't like wearing a crown, which affects him going out and having fun.

Zhu Yunying sat on the couch, smiling and watching Xu Miaoqing coaxing her fat son.Just talking to such a kid, it is basically difficult to explain clearly.There is no reason at all for a child of this age to do things. This kid is more obedient to his heart.

"Yin'er, you have to be obedient." Xu Miaoqing looked at her aggrieved son, and said earnestly, "In a few days, your father's enthronement ceremony will be held, and you will also be canonized as the crown prince. Don't mess around at this time."

Zhu Yunying laughed and said to Xu Miaoqing, "He is not in the way. You can be conferred the title of empress, and the canonization of Yin'er as the prince must be in the Jinshen Hall. Speaking of the imperial city I built in Beiping, I refer to our imperial city of Yingtianfu. .”

This is the fact, the imperial city of Yingtianfu is the reference template of the Forbidden City in Beiping, only slightly enlarged.Fengtian Hall, Jinshen Hall, and Huagai Hall, needless to say the three halls of the imperial city.There is no shortage of Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, including the East Palace, etc.

Xu Miaoqing naturally knew this truth, and said, "Your Highness, when you ascended the throne, you also went to the southern suburbs to sacrifice to heaven and earth like the emperor did?"

Zhu Yunying nodded, his enthronement ceremony was similar to Lao Zhu's enthronement ceremony, only slightly simplified.After all, Zhu Yunying didn't have the merits of breaking the world and establishing a foundation, but he was inherited by the old Zhu, so naturally he didn't need to worry about someone robbing the throne.

So at that time, Zhu Yunying was offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the southern suburbs, and then he would receive congratulations from all officials in Fengtian Hall.Some so-called spiritual succession, etc., or sitting on the throne first before considering the grand ceremony, did not exist for Zhu Yunying.

His enthronement ceremony will definitely be perfect, and the preparation work is indeed quite sufficient, so there is no need to worry at all.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying said, "Although we have ascended the throne, we just don't want to go to Kunning Palace for now."

"The concubine knows about it naturally." Xu Miaoqing didn't need Zhu Yunying to remind her at all, and said, "The concubine will follow her husband and live in the East Palace for the time being."

Lao Zhu hasn't moved out of Qianqing Palace yet, so there is no need to move to Kunning Palace.Even if Xu Miaoqing is about to become a queen, she still needs to pay attention to what should be paid attention to.

Zhu Yunying thinks this is also very good, so that he can continue to be with his wife and son. Of course, he can also stay around, and there are still wives and concubines who look forward to him staying overnight.

"Although you don't go to Kunning Palace now, after the canonization, the affairs of the harem should be taken care of." Zhu Yunying spoke again and said to Xu Miaoqing, "We also talked about this matter with the emperor, you have to deal with the affairs in the palace. matter."

Over the years, Concubine Li Shu and Concubine Guo Ning have taken turns acting as the empress's job, but in the final analysis, the name is not right.

After all these years, Xu Miaoqing has only been a concubine, even the only legitimate daughter-in-law among the four generations of the old Zhu family.However, the issue of seniority also needs to be considered.

But now there is no need to think about so many things. As long as Zhu Yunying ascends the throne, she can take over the affairs of the harem as a matter of course.Xu Miaoqing naturally knew these things well.

Abdication and enthronement, everything is so natural and smooth.
