Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 5 The First Dynasty of the New Emperor

"Hurry up! Don't delay!"

In Beijing City of Shuntian Prefecture, when the bells kept ringing in the city, all the officials in the capital had to get up early and hurried to the Forbidden City.

No one could have imagined that Zhu Changluo, who had only been enthroned for a month, would die in such a muddle.

Everyone was in a hurry. More than [-] officials in Beijing rushed to the Forbidden City from various places in the capital. There may even be collisions and traffic jams on the road.

This is because Wanli has not been in court for a long time, and there is a shortage of officials in the capital, which is less than three thousand.

The civil officials of the fifth and sixth ranks who rode horse-drawn carts and donkey carts were in a hurry, but the officials of the seventh rank and below who rode horses and donkeys rushed to the front at this time.

Soon, these officials saw the left gate of Chang'an and the right gate of Chang'an in the distance.

These two gates are the main gates of the imperial city leading to the government office. The hand signaled the official to dismount.

Officials who were accustomed to the court procedure dismounted one after another. At this time, someone would come to lead the horses, and after verifying their identities, they rushed into the imperial city in a hurry.

Hundreds of people walked into Chang'anmen in wave after wave, followed Chang'an Avenue of later generations, Shangwai Wulong Bridge, and checked their identities again at the gate of Chengtianmen, then entered Duanmen, Wumen...

Every city gate requires identity verification and body searches.

After they passed the Meridian Gate, they came to the Inner Wulong Bridge. After crossing the Wulong Bridge, they saw Lu Wenzhao who was on duty here and a group of Jinyiwei who were the Han generals.

"The former emperor passed away. After you enter the Huangji Gate, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be the same as in the past!"

Lu Wenzhao wears a badge given by Zhu Youxiao on his waist, and is dressed in the costumes of hundreds of brocade guards, but he directs nearly a thousand brocade guards in the imperial city.

With a serious expression, he announced to the group of civil servants that he was afraid that some speech officer who was not afraid of death would make something wrong after entering the Huangji Gate.

After hearing this, all the officials made up one after another, but they kept muttering in their hearts, thinking it was very weird.

Just because Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, obviously stayed overnight in the outer court last night. According to common sense, even if he does not show up in such a scene, he should send a commander from the fourth rank, not a regular sixth rank like Lu Wenzhao. There are hundreds of Jinyiwei households.

It's just that although all the officials felt strange, they didn't dare to ask questions.

In the final analysis, the three words "Jinyiwei" are really frustrating. For those senior officials who are above the fourth rank, it is better to say that they can only do it honestly.

All the civil servants, led by Lu Wenzhao and Jin Yiwei, entered the square in front of the Huangji Hall one after another. It's a pity that the formerly prosperous Huangji Hall is now very dilapidated and empty.

Since the square in front of the Wenhua Hall couldn't hold so many people, they could only stand in line honestly across a wall.

With a sullen face, Lu Wenzhao carefully checked all the officials in front of Huangji Gate.

He looked at those civil servants who used to be aloof, smiling apologetically under his own eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It's just that this sense of satisfaction came in a flash, just because he knew that everything he had was given by Zhu Youjian.

Just now Fang Congzhe let Xuan Zaijing's officials enter the court, before Luo Sigong could stand up, Zhu Youjian spoke in Zhu Youxiao's ear, and then handed over the task of guarding the Huangji Gate to him.

Lu Wenzhao was very grateful to Zhu Youjian for his kindness, and at this time, all the officials in Beijing entered Huangji Gate one after another.

"close the door!"

Following Lu Wenzhao's opening, the Huangji Gate was closed, and he also rushed towards the Wenhua Palace, and finally came to the gate of the Wenhua Palace. Inside the Wenhua Palace.

thump -- thump -- thump --

"Going to court~~~"

clang--

"Long live Long live Long live……"

With the beating of the three-way drum, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple sang loudly, and then the general of the Han Dynasty rang the bell, and all the officials once again shouted long live, and saluted neatly.

"rise……"

The Prime Minister of Honglu Temple sang the salute again, and two rows of big Han generals waved the clean whips made of yellow silk, which made a sound of exploding in the air.

This is a procedure that existed in the previous dynasty. The purpose is to warn the ministers and the emperor to arrive. An important ceremony is about to begin. Everyone should immediately stop talking and keep quiet.

It stands to reason that after the cleansing of the whip, the prime minister of Honglu Temple still needs to sing "Enter the Class" before the door can be opened and all officials can enter the hall.

However, since the Huangji Hall has not been repaired, Wenhua Hall was chosen for the temporary court this time, so the more than [-] Beijing officials standing in the square of the Huangji Hall could only bow to the air again and again.

On the other hand, in the Wenhua Palace, since the ministers of rank five and above had entered the Wenhua Palace early, they could talk directly about the business.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian was standing on the left side of the imperial case, and next to him was Zhu Youxiao in a bloated crown.

In the time just now, the great eunuch Wang An found from the Palace of Qianqing the emperor's mian suit worn by Zhu Changluo a month ago, and hurriedly brought it for Zhu Youxiao to wear.

However, due to Zhu Youxiao's young age and not being as tall as Zhu Changluo, the uniform was loose and loose, without any majesty.

In order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, Fang Congzhe and others had no choice but to add two layers of clothes to the crown to support the crown.

Zhu Youjian also changed into his prince's mianfu, and then turned to look at Zhu Youxiao.

I saw that my imperial brother was dripping with sweat, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, obviously he was very hot.

Seeing Zhu Youjian looking at him, he even smiled at Zhu Youjian, seeming to say "I'm fine".

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't say anything, but just looked at the officials in front of him.

However, when looking around, a eunuch who was dressed in uniforms and had no beard and was nearly fifty years old was particularly conspicuous.

Sensing the eyes of others, he slowly raised his head, met Zhu Youjian's eyes, and then wrote honestly, as a salute.

This old eunuch is the current leader of the eunuchs in the palace, Eunuch Wang An, Bingbi Supervisor.

If Zhu Youjian remembers correctly, when he was in his early twenties, he was appointed by Emperor Wanli to be Zhu Changluo's companion.

When Concubine Zheng sought to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, he was the one who protected Zhu Changluo.

After Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the eunuch of Li Bingbi, and he persuaded Zhu Changluo to reuse Yang Lian, Liu Yixiu and others from the Donglin Party.

It's just that his position as Eunuch Bingbi and Supervisor of Rituals is not yet hot. Zhu Changluo died because of Hongwan, and he had no choice but to choose to join Zhu Youxiao halfway to deal with the case of moving the palace, and move Li Xuanshi out of Qianqing Palace.

But after Wei Zhongxian and Hakka gained power, he was killed because of the power struggle.

Regarding this person, Zhu Youjian was also struggling with whether to save him or not.

If Wang An is willing to rely on him, then relying on Zhu Youxiao's reliance on him and his status as the only younger brother, it will be relatively easy for him to save Wang An.

But if Wang An is unwilling to rely on him, then there is nothing to say.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian looked at Baiguan, but saw that Baiguan, ministers and workers were chatting lively.

After listening carefully, he realized that it was officials from the Ministry of Rites who were discussing Zhu Changluo's posthumous title, where to be buried, and so on.

When Zhu Youjian came to his senses, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet Fang Congzhe and others finalized Zhu Changluo's posthumous title and temple title.

The temple name is Guangzong, and the posthumous title is "Emperor Chongtian, Qidao, Yingrui, Gong, Pure Constitution, Wenjing, Wuyuan, Renyi, Xiaozhen", which is consistent with history.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao didn't have any idea about this temple name and posthumous title. Anyway, Zhu Changluo treated them badly.

But after the temple name and posthumous title, an embarrassing question came...
