The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 3 Passing on the Torch

Li Yunze didn't play cards according to the routine, and in the end it was Empress Zhang who came forward to lure him back to the palace.

The outside affairs are left to the ministers and Wei Zhongxian to deal with the aftermath.

Everyone tacitly pretended that nothing like this happened, and how to go about the process or how to go.

Of course, the three requests and three speeches were all done by the supervisor of ceremonies.

Everyone dared not let Li Yunze show up again. If he did it again, he would really be ashamed and thrown into the history books.

The next day, the sun was bright, and all the officials in the capital, who were fully prepared, wore plain clothes, black hats, and black horn belts and went to the mourning hall to formally bid farewell to Emperor Daxing.

The folks are no exception. Slaughtering, feasting, marriage, and pleasure-seeking are prohibited.

To put it simply, they are vegetarians, they cannot go to Goulan Washe, and they cannot do any festive things.

This is national mourning.

Li Yunze was not idle here either, he was called up early in the morning, and went to cry for the funeral in sackcloth and mourning.

Because Emperor Daxing has no heirs, the big guy has already elected King Xin to inherit the throne.So you only need to stay for a while to show your grief, and then you can leave to get busy with enthronement matters.

The specific matters are arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette and the inner government, and Li Yunze only needs to follow the steps.

During lunch, Li Yunze didn't move his chopsticks, and went back to the modern world to eat a takeaway on the pretext of urinating.

After returning, go to customize the crown.

The so-called crown refers to the clothes and crowns, which are the official dresses of the emperor.It is used for major celebrations such as offering sacrifices to the Tiandi Ancestral Temple.

Of course, the enthronement of the new emperor must be a major celebration.

What kind of clothes and crowns should be made is clearly written in "Zhou Rituals", just do it according to this style.

In the thousands of years of history, the emperor's crowns have been similar, and it was not until the wild boar skins were stolen from the Central Plains that they disappeared.

Li Yunze's job was to make clothes racks, standing there for the royal weaving masters to measure his body.

In this respect, it is not very different from hand-made clothes in the modern world.

Li Yunze, who was bored, looked around looking for some bright spots to pass the time.

Originally thought that the three thousand beauties in the Forbidden City could feast their eyes on pure and natural beauty.

But the result was that, apart from the master craftsmen and eunuchs who made clothes, there were only a few old palace ladies who looked like they were at least forty.

This really disappointed him.

When he was watching short videos before, he was very fond of beautiful girls in Ming Dynasty costumes.

At this time, Li Yunze could only comfort himself, "Men, focus on career. We'll talk about the rest later."

The sky cannot live without the sun, and the country cannot live without the king.

After Emperor Tianqi's great success, the ascension of the new king has become a top priority.

Only one day later, the supervisor of ceremonies completed the three speeches and three requests on his behalf, and the forces of all parties couldn't wait to push Li Yunze to the throne.

The people of the world need an emperor sitting on that chair, otherwise there will be chaos.

On August 24, the seventh year of Tianqi, it is suitable for sacrifice.

Li Yunze, who put on a brand-new grand gown, proclaimed the emperor's throne in the Emperor's Hall of Heaven and Earth.

The whole process is very complicated, but Li Yunze only needs to follow the instructions from the Ministry of Rites step by step.

Except for the final sacrifice to heaven and earth that requires him to read, other times only need to pose.

A sacrificial text was recited stumblingly, and many words were not even recognized at all, but could only be vaguely "hmmmhhhhhhh".

The meticulous officials and nobles standing under the sun didn't pay much attention to it, they just thought it was Li Yunze who was so nervous and excited that he couldn't speak clearly.

After all, he was going to be the emperor, so it was understandable that he couldn't hold back his excitement.

".To establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, and to create peace for all generations"

When Li Yunze's mouth was parched, the originally clear sky suddenly exploded with a thunderbolt.

The rumbling thunder made the people in front of the Huangji Hall subconsciously commotion.

It's sunny and not raining now, so there's thunder in this case
Li Yunze looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes, "A bolt from the blue."

A thunderbolt from the blue is not uncommon. It usually happens when a meteorite falls and eventually burns out, or when the suspended matter in the air reaches a certain concentration and releases an electric charge. This may happen, and most of them are sunny.

Li Xiang, who had received compulsory education, understood this, but the officials and nobles in the late Ming Dynasty did not.

In their opinion, it was not a good omen that a thunderbolt sounded when the emperor ascended the throne.

"What are you panicking about!"

With a calm face, Li Yunze walked up the alchemy steps and looked around at all the officials, "This is the heaven's response to me! The heaven has heard the emperor's sacrificial oration!"

Li Yunze now said that the thunderbolt from the blue sky was God's response to the emperor. Who would dare to say no to it?
There is a step down just right, and whoever said something about God's punishment is really booking a long-term meal ticket for the whole family in Beizhen Fusi.

I have been eating for free until the last bowl of guillotined rice.

He speeded up and vaguely finished the prayer to the heaven, and finally completed the whole process.

Back in the bedroom, a group of court ladies and eunuchs quickly surrounded them, took off the heavy and complicated crown, and put on loose clothes.

At this time, Li Yunze, who had truly won the title of righteousness, finally officially became the master of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it also bears the fate of the entire dynasty and hundreds of millions of people.

What is the first thing to do after getting the righteous name?
Of course, it's an inventory of the family.

Those who can use it have money.

Without these, it's a useless puppet emperor.

Don't talk about saving the common people, you can't even save your own life.

Of course, the closest people to the emperor would not be the noble officials, but the eunuchs around him.

At this time, the eunuchs in the Forbidden City were basically Wei Zhongxian's disciples and grandchildren.The only ones who were truly loyal to Li Yunze were the eunuchs from the Prince Xin's Mansion.

The most famous of these are Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen.

Cao Huachun was a close friend of Wang An, the eunuch of Bingbi, the former supervisor of ceremonies. Wei Zhongxian was implicated when Wang An was moved down, and he was driven to Yingtian Mansion.

Unofficial history said that when Li Zicheng attacked the capital, it was Cao Huachun who opened the city gate. This is the slander of literati.

At that time, Cao Huachun had been back to his hometown for several years, so he couldn't fly to the capital to open the door.

The people who opened the door were civil servants, and if their descendants wanted face, they could only pour black water on the eunuchs.

"Wang Banban." Li Yunze told everyone to go out, leaving only Wang Chengen. "Send someone to call Cao Huachun back, hurry up."

"Yes." Wang Chengen was envious in his heart, because Lao Cao was favored. His Highness couldn't wait to call him back just after he ascended the throne.

Li Yunze doesn't discriminate against eunuchs, after all, there are all kinds of genders in the modern world, and eunuchs are completely understandable.

Although he has time and space, he still needs more manpower to do things.

Sit down on the chair, pick up the tea bowl and look at it carefully, "It's from the official kiln, take it back and start with at least six figures."

After taking a sip of tea, Li Yunze looked at Wang Chengen who had gone out to order things and came back, "Is there anyone in Jinyiwei who is willing to die for me?"

Li Yunze couldn't keep Wei Zhongxian, not because he was fooled by the Donglin Party to abolish his martial arts, but because this guy was fighting for power.

If he wants to do something, it is naturally impossible to leave Wei Zhongxian who is fighting for power with him as a hindrance.

Also, time is running out.

Li Yunze had too many things to do, and he didn't have time or time to work with Jiu Qiansui.

Wei Zhongxian hoped that Li Yunze could be at his mercy as the puppet emperor, and he would continue to be the Nine Thousand Years who controlled Ming Dynasty.

For Li Yunze who wants to do things, this is a fundamental contradiction.

The emperor can tell Wei Zhongxian to leave with just one word, but he has to prevent this guy from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

The handles of the knives in the palace are mainly Yumajian and Dongchang.

These two knives are now held in Wei Zhongxian's hands, and the possibility that this guy is in a hurry to make trouble cannot be ruled out.

Among the forces directly under the emperor, the only one who can still use it is Jin Yiwei.

Wang Chengen thought to himself, 'This is a good opportunity to perform in front of the emperor.If he really waited until Cao Huachun came back, he would have no chance to perform. '

"Returning to the emperor, I heard that Luo Sigong, the former commander of Jinyiwei, has great influence among Jinyiwei with his loyalty."

In the fourth year of the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian drove away Luo Sigong in order to win Jinyiwei, and supported Tian Ergeng to take the position.

Luo Sigong's grandfather was the commander of Jinyiwei, his father-in-law was also the commander of Jinyiwei, and he himself was the commander of Jinyiwei.

It can be said that the torch has been passed down from generation to generation, the old Jinyiwei.

Its influence in the entire Jinyiwei is by no means comparable to that of Tian Ergeng, who became a monk halfway.

If you want to take down Jinyiwei, it is undoubtedly the most convenient to start from Luo Sigong.

"This matter is left to you."

"The slaves obey the order."

It didn't take long for Wang Chengen to go out to work, and Wei Zhongxian came to the door directly.

"Slaves pay homage to the emperor." Wei Zhongxian greeted him as soon as he entered the door, with a very respectful attitude.

"Daban Wei is here." Li Yunze greeted with a smile on his face, "Get up."

"Thank you, my lord."

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who had a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, Li Yunze smiled kindly, "What's the matter with Wei Daban?"

"The servant girl is old and unable to assist the emperor." Wei Zhongxian once again made a big gift, "I also invite the emperor to allow the servant girl to return to her hometown."

'Hey, retreat to advance. '

This kind of tactic cannot be concealed from others, so Li Yunze naturally saw through it at a glance.

"Why did Daban Wei say that?" Li Yunze stepped forward and began to show off his acting skills. He helped Wei Zhongxian up with his own hands, and said sincerely, "I don't understand anything when I first become a great treasure, and I need Daban Wei to help me share my worries in state affairs. If Wei Zhongxian My big companion has just left, where will I be placed? There is no need to mention this matter again."

"My lord~~~" Wei Zhongxian choked up tears in response to the situation.

After returning to the chair and sitting down, Li Yunze turned to the topic he cared about, "Wei Daban, how much money do you have?"

The internal money is the emperor's small treasury, the kind that can be used directly without the ministers' fuss.

Wei Zhongxian was startled, and opened his mouth to argue.

"Forget it." Li Yunze waved his hand, "Bring over 1000 taels of gold first, I want to use it."

What a man pursues in his life is nothing but fame, wealth and girls.

As a eunuch, the girl naturally don't even think about it.

If he is famous, Wei Zhongxian has already reached nine thousand years old, and if he takes another step, he will have to seek to usurp the throne.

What he strikes the most is naturally profit.

In fact, the emperor's internal money was almost emptied by him.

Fortunately, Li Yunze's nonchalant appearance as long as he only wanted money made him quietly heave a sigh of relief.

"Slaves, let's get ready."

Wei Zhongxian moved very quickly, and within a short time, brought a few eunuchs to bring 1000 taels of gold over.

Gold bars did not become popular until later. In the Ming Dynasty, gold was also gold ingots similar to ingots.

Like this kind of gold ingots stored in internal funds, each one weighs twelve taels, a proper gold ingot.

One hundred gold ingots are stacked together, which has a great visual impact.

Li Yunze, who was stunned, waved his hand, "Go out."

Wei Zhongxian was still a little puzzled when he went out, the whole world belonged to the emperor, how could it be as if he had never seen gold.

Of course Li Yunze had seen gold, but he had never seen so much gold.

These golds were worth ten thousand taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty.

If it can be brought to the modern world, what is the price of gold now?

After confirming that no one was around, Li Yunze immediately opened the time-space door and carried over 70 jin of gold.

In the Ming Dynasty, one tael was 37 grams, and 1000 taels was 37 kilograms!

Picking up the mobile phone to check the current gold price, it is 400 yuan per gram.

After taking a sip of water to calm down, when he was about to go out with the gold to exchange money, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"what is this?"

Picking up the gold ingot and examining it carefully, there is actually the seal of the inner government on it!
If this is sold directly, it will definitely be regarded as a cultural relic, and it will cause trouble.

"It was originally mine." Sitting on the sofa, Li Yunze breathed out.

The fact that he owns the time-space gate cannot be leaked no matter what.That would have serious and unpredictable consequences.

In desperation, he could only move the gold back again.

Li Yunze, who returned to Daming Time and Space, opened the door and greeted the eunuchs outside, "Go to the inner mansion and call some goldsmiths over."
