Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 365 Route to Beijing
"Get up!"

After a while, King Xing said lightly.

"Captain, you have worked hard, my lords! Today is just the last day of the Qing Dynasty, so I have kept you waiting for a long time! My lord also knows that you have brought an important imperial decree, but the ceremony needs to be held in the Chengyun Hall to receive the imperial decree. It is a bit dark today. It's getting late, why don't you choose an auspicious time tomorrow, and you all have a good rest!"

Fengzheng Zhang Zuo, who was beside King Xing, stepped forward and said to the crowd.

And King Na Xing seemed to go directly to his bedroom without understanding any etiquette!

The three people who came to deliver the decree looked at each other, only seeing the direction and the indifferent look of the people at King Xing's Mansion, they knew that King Xing probably had this kind of virtue, and he really had some brains...

But they are already the emperor, and this is not something they can decide.

The Xingwang Mansion has already been arranged in this way, the most important thing now is to establish a good relationship with the future emperor's hidden residence, so I agreed immediately!

After all, the Minister of Rites Mao Cheng and Uncle Guo haven't arrived yet, so it doesn't matter to wait!

……

Day two.

Xu Guangzuo and others got up early.

King Xing's Mansion treated them generously.

Although the life of many partial clan clans of the Ming Dynasty is getting more and more difficult, the life of the main branch is still okay.

Especially the Xingwang Mansion, which is only considered the second generation now. When they came to the feudal land in the early years, the rewards and gifts from the court were quite generous.

It's just that Xu Guangzuo's thoughts are not on this, mainly because this matter is too important!

Fengzheng Zhang Zuo directed Zhang Luo to prepare for the ceremony.

King Xing, who was wearing the prince's mian suit, had a bit of majesty, but his expression was still as cold as wood.

A group of people arrived at the Chengyun Hall, guards of honor and Dale lined up on both sides.

There are many officials, large and small, standing between the bell and drum and the drum tower.

Zhu Houxi walked in front, and Yuan Zonggao and other officials of the palace followed closely behind him.

Gu Da stood in front of him holding the imperial edict rolled into a tube.

Zhu Houxi led a group of people to kneel down to receive the order.

Gu Dayong watched everyone kneel down and began to read the edict:
Blessed by the heavens, the emperor's edict said: I inherit the ancestry of the emperor, and I have worked hard for decades, lest I fail the trust of the late emperor!Only now there are no heirs, the community needs someone to inherit, and the people of the clan depend on it. "Emperor Ming Zu Xun": Brothers will end up with brothers!Huang Kao Xiaozong respected the emperor's younger brother Xingxian Wang's eldest son Houxi, intelligent and benevolent, with long-established virtues, and the order of ethics should be established. He reported to the Taimiao and sent officials to welcome him to Beijing today to inherit the throne of the emperor!
Except for Fang Xiang, they already knew the general situation from Gu Dayong's words, and the officials below knew that Emperor Zhengde had passed away after hearing the will!
Now their Prince Xing of Anlu Prefecture is going to be the emperor!

For a while, some people talked a lot, and they didn't know who took the lead, so they burst into tears. For a while, Zhu Houzhao's death was like mourning for everyone.

It was Yuan Zonggao who said in a loud voice that the emperor had passed away, and he was worried about the safety of the country before leaving. It can be said that he was exhausted.

Those officials were also winking, and soon they shouted long live three times!
Yuan Zonggao and others supported Qin Shao directly to the palace!

The big music on the terrace was playing in unison.

"This has not entered the palace and officially enthroned, is it appropriate to do this directly?"

Xu Guangzuo looked at Cui Yuan in a daze.

When everyone shouted long live three times, many people knelt down.

The two of them looked at Gu Dayong and found that he had knelt down too, and hurriedly knelt down after him.

"Who knows? Anyway, there is no precedent, so it is rare to be an emperor. Who knows what etiquette is! Mao Shangshu understands etiquette. He hasn't arrived yet. Anyway, he will be the emperor sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if he is called directly."

Cui Yuan said directly.

Gu Dayong is not talkative, but he is also an old trickster. Anyway, he can't offend anyone, and the two of them don't need to be outspoken rafters.

However, it is estimated that the old boy Mao Cheng will follow, and he will probably command one or two!
The people in the Ministry of Rites are the worst. Although Mao Cheng is old this time, he still insists on following him as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He probably wants to show that he understands etiquette in front of the new emperor!It's just that he probably won't have a chance when he comes, because the ceremony will end soon.

The next step is to discuss when to return to Beijing.

They have received reports from the soldiers that Mao Cheng and his uncle Zhang Heling are already outside the city of Anlu Prefecture, and they probably will come tomorrow.

What surprised Xu Guangzuo and the others was that Zhu Houxi, the Prince of Xing, did not come forward to discuss when to return to Beijing.

After the receiving ceremony earlier, Prince Xing went back, saying that the prince went back to see the child first.

Every day after meals, the prince would go to see the three children, and sometimes even feed the children.

A lot of time has been delayed today because of the ceremony.

This... what kind of problem is this!
Let alone a big man who is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, he spends all day entangled with his wife and children in the back house, which is too...promising...

It's hard for Xu Guangzuo to say that he has two promising sons.

Anyway, it was Yuan Zonggao who came out to discuss the issue.

Yuan Zonggao's attitude is very sincere.

First, he praised the honesty of the current emperor, and then said that because the emperor is often in the mysterious world, he doesn't like to discuss issues with people, so he let them convey his meaning.

"Did the emperor say when to leave for Beijing?"

Gu Dayong asked first.

He also felt that the new emperor had a weird personality, and Gu Dayong actually didn't want to do this job.

Although he has been reused by Zhu Houzhao these years, the relationship between the two of them is basically drifting away.

Gu Dayong is a very ambitious person, and the person he admires the most is Zheng He, yes!That eunuch who sailed to the West!
Although Zheng He is also a person with incomplete five faculties, his heroism and ambition are the goals of Gu Dayong!
It's just that Zhu Houzhao, whom he had pinned his hopes on, seemed a bit too vulnerable, and his dreams gradually faded away.

Now that Zhu Houzhao has passed away, what Gu Dayong can do now is to protect himself as much as possible.

He wanted to see if the new emperor was worthy of his investment. If not, he would have some credit for picking him up this time, and he would be able to escape unscathed by then.

Liu Jin's fate is obvious to all!

Gu Dayong has already seen the fate of Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, and he does not want to be a victim like them.

Therefore, when it came to welcoming Qin Shao to the capital, compared with the slight arrogance of Xu Guangzuo and Cui Yuan, he kept his posture very low, polite and courteous, but also tried to avoid being too obsequious.

"The emperor asked when he could bring his family over there?"

As Zhu Houxi's spokesperson, Yuan Zonggao first asked this question.

The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard the question, and then they understood.

"This... the emperor may go first. After all, the matter is too urgent. The emperor should go first. After the capital is settled, the family members can go directly."

Cui Yuan replied.

"The country cannot be without a master for a day, the emperor must go first as soon as possible!"

Gu Dayong reminded.

"Well, let me tell the emperor. The emperor asked this question before, and we also said that the situation is urgent. Now that the place is settled, we can directly pick up the family members. The emperor said that we should go on the road as soon as possible and enter Beijing early. arrange!"

Yuan Zonggao seemed relieved and said.

"Then have you agreed on a time to do it?"

Xu Guangzuo asked Yuan Zonggao.

"Let's go tomorrow!"

Yuan Zonggao said.

"tomorrow?"

"tomorrow!"

……

Xing Wangfu prince's bedroom.

"Have you arranged for them to rest?"

Qin Shao looked at Yuan Zonggao who was in a hurry and asked.

"Yes! Your Majesty, we have agreed to leave tomorrow!"

Yuan Zonggao reported back.

"Well, that's fine, Mao Cheng and the others will just arrive tomorrow, and we'll just start off, so we're exhausted!"

Qin Shao sneered.

"Your Majesty, the horses and carriages are all ready, and they can go on the road anytime tomorrow!"

Zhu Chen came in and reported back.

"Well, don't bring too many horses! According to the previous number, it will be halved!"

Qin Shao ordered directly.

"Don't need too many horses? But this time the guards..."

Yuan Zonggao was a little puzzled.

"We're going to change routes to Beijing!"

"Changing route to Beijing?"

"Yes, change the route to Beijing!"
