Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 6 The Outbreak of the Young Emperor

"Emperor Daxing's mausoleum should naturally be in Changping, and it will be completed quickly so that Emperor Daxing will not be dusted."

"What about the scale?"

"Look for the location first, and decide..."

In Wenhua Hall, everyone is trying to find a way for Zhu Changluo's mausoleum.

It can be said that Zhu Changluo is a little embarrassed now.

People died, but there was no mausoleum, and even the coffin and various things used for burial were not prepared.

After all, the emperor's mausoleum is usually selected from the time of enthronement, the acupuncture points are determined, and then the construction begins.

Unless the emperor is very young, such as Zhu Youjian's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, because he was young, it was delayed until the twelfth year of Wanli to build it.

However, Wanli was willing to pay for his mausoleum, which took eight years and eight million taels of silver.

Compared with Wanli and Zhu Changluo, it is more embarrassing.

He had only been enthroned for one month, and he hadn't even chosen the location of the mausoleum, so he died first.

Right now, in order to help him bury him and prevent his body from rotting and smelling, it can be said that it is hard to destroy all the ministers.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe may have won the credit for welcoming the emperor because of Zhu Youjian's help, so he said confidently:

"In the mausoleum of Emperor Daxing, why don't you ask Wansui what he thinks?"

After a long time in the court, all the ministers realized that the new emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair.

Everyone was embarrassed for a while. After all, they have been used to no one on the dragon chair for decades, so they all edited to plead guilty:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Long live, please forgive me..."

Except for the three major dynasties of the Ming Dynasty that need to be called "emperor, your majesty", the ministers of the Ming Dynasty often use "long live" to address the emperor at other times.

Similarly, there are occasions for the emperor to call himself. During the three major dynasties, the emperor must refer to himself as "zhen", while in ordinary dynasties, he can call himself "wu" and "zhen".

As for private, most of the time "I" and "I" call themselves.

People like Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang are more casual. They often refer to themselves as "I" and appear in imperial edicts, which is very rare.

With so many etiquette titles, it is really difficult for Zhu Youxiao to adapt to the change from prince to long live before he has adapted to his address from grandson to prince.

Facing the appearance of the officials, he had a headache for a while, so he could only signal the officials to calm down first, and then began to rack his brains to think about it.

Looking at the appearance of his imperial brother, Zhu Youjian also knew that he hadn't thought about this question, so he could only wink to attract attention, and finally he silently reminded: "Emperor Jing"

"Ahem! My brother, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao didn't understand, so he coughed and pushed the question to Zhu Youjian.

For a while, Zhu Youjian was about to scold his mother, and Baiguan was simply stunned. He didn't expect to ask questions, and finally asked a ten-year-old yellow-mouthed child.

"It's numb..." I couldn't complain in my heart, Zhu Youjian could only edit slightly to his good brother, and then replied:

"Long live, it's summer now, if the time is delayed, it will inevitably make the imperial examination dust."

"According to what I see, it is better to renovate the mausoleum that Emperor Jing once built, so that the emperor can be buried quickly."

As soon as Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, the eyes of the civil servants below lit up.

The ministers recalled the mausoleum built by Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu for six years. (Ming Dynasty Zong was respected only by Nan Ming)

This mausoleum was originally built by Zhu Qiyu for himself, but he didn't want to. After the change of seizing the door, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen buried him in Xishan instead of the original mausoleum.

Therefore, right now in Changping, there is a ready-made mausoleum that can be used.

Although more than [-] years have passed, but after a little tidying up and finishing work, it can be completed.

Thinking about this, Fang Congzhe stood up first, and wrote: "Long live, Your Highness is right, how about burying Emperor Daxing in the mausoleum left by Emperor Jing?"

"Good!" Zhu Youxiao, who hadn't experienced much political struggle, was just happy to hear that his brother's opinion was recognized by the ministers.

But at this time Zhu Youjian also stood up and edited Zhu Youxiao:
"Long live, why don't you let your younger brother lead the warrior camp of the Yumajian, the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang, and build the imperial mausoleum for the emperor's examination?"

Different from just now, if Zhu Youjian's opening just now made the officials think that he is a wise prince, then the attitude of all the officials towards Zhu Youjian will change now.

"Long live! This is impossible!"

The first person to speak was a soldier from the military department. He was about fifty years old, thin and pale, and his tone was non-negotiable and very tough.

His opening made it difficult for Zhu Youxiao, who was already ready to agree.

He didn't want to refute his brother's request. After all, this was the first time that Zhu Youjian had put forward ideas to him since he took care of Zhu Youjian for ten years.

"Yang is in the middle of the matter, and you can talk about why not."

At this time, Fang Congzhe took the initiative to pick and roll for Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian also knew who this person was.

Yang Lian, one of the six gentlemen of Donglin, was given by Bingke.

Zhu Youjian didn't expect that he would be the first to oppose him, but it's normal to think about his character carefully.

"Long live, Your Highness is only ten years old, and the four guards of the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Warriors' Battalion add up to nearly [-] people. How can I hand it over to His Highness? If it is handed over easily, the country will be destroyed..."

"Yang's words are serious..."

Yang Lian's voice was rumbling and his tone was tough, as if Zhu Youjian had done something traitorous. Fortunately, an old minister next to Fang Congzhe smoothed things over.

It's just that I never thought that Yang Lian would continue to speak forcefully in the face of this old minister's sympathy:

"Does Liu Gechen also think that it is a simple matter to hand over a [-] army to a child?!"

"Yang Lian, you..." The minister who spoke was so angry that he cursed Yang Lian for his ignorance.

In fact, not only him, but most of the people in the hall thought so.

The warrior battalion and four guards of the Yumajian said that there were [-] people on the surface, but in fact there may not even be [-] people.

This team originally belonged to the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, and was under the jurisdiction of the eunuchs of the Royal Horse Supervisor. In addition, the training was not good, and they were all old and weak.

Besides, the repair of the imperial mausoleum is the business of the old Zhu family, so why are you meddling with it.

"Long live, don't easily transfer the army to His Highness to command, maybe you have forgotten that Emperor Wen..."

"enough!!!"

Yang Lian was still self-righteous in admonishing, but Zhu Youxiao, who didn't want to keep fishing, couldn't listen anymore.

He was a young man with a proud heart. Although he had just sat in the position of emperor and was not quite used to it yet, he couldn't bear to be told by Yang Lian.

Of course, he is not a political idiot. On the contrary, he knows very well that Zhu Youjian will not rebel.

First of all, in terms of age, Zhu Youjian is only ten years old, and secondly, he is not the eldest son. Finally, the Yumajian is just the emperor's domestic slave, and it is impossible to rebel with Zhu Youjian.

In his opinion, his younger brother was just asking for an errand after seeing his elder brother sit on the throne.

Just like that, Yang Lian scolded him angrily, and brought out Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, making it clear that his younger brother was going to rebel.

Zhu Youxiao is only cowardly because of his psychological shadow on Concubine Li Kang, but he is not cowardly towards everyone, otherwise Wanli would not have made him the grandson of the emperor.

His outburst stunned all the officials, and they understood that the little emperor in front of him was not a friendly existence, obviously different from Wanli's passivity and Zhu Changluo's superficial Confucianism.
