Jingming

Chapter 26
Yang Tinghe and the others were stunned for a moment, and they knelt down after standing up just now.

"The position of heaven cannot be left empty for a long time. The heir has already arrived at the palace, and all civil and military officials inside and outside can send a letter to persuade him to come in immediately!"

Yang Tinghe couldn't help asking: "Is it an oral order? Is there an edict?"

Gu Dayong shook his head, Yang Tinghe felt lost after standing up.

The minister wanted to persuade again, but the queen mother surrendered first: she didn't even put on a show to send people back to the city to ask for an order, and she already issued the oral order last night.

Although it was not stated clearly that only succession is not succession, nor is it written in words, but so many people in the hall today have heard what was said just now, and the successor ascended the throne with the attitude of succession and not succession.

This will be a fait accompli.Today Si Jun has said everything so thoroughly, and discussing this matter in the future will be endlessly entangled.

Yang Tinghe gritted his teeth, and knelt down again: "The old minister Wan Shizuo please Your Highness: the ceremonial note can be changed, but your Highness should know that there are many hidden worries if you only inherit the line but not the heir, and the old minister asks your Highness to take the time to pursue the Xingxian King."

Zhu Houcong frowned: "If the name is not right, then the words will not be right. After I succeed to the throne, I will welcome my mother and concubine into the palace, and I will respect my biological father as soon as possible, and honor my biological mother as the queen mother. This is the filial piety that a son of man should do."

Yang Tinghe felt sad, and asked in a pleading tone: "The chaos in Chenhao has just subsided, and I hope His Highness will show compassion to the people. If you know that His Highness is the successor of the vassal king, what should the other vassal kings do if they become chaotic?"

"No chaos!" Zhu Houcong raised his voice a little bit, "This is a special occasion for the transition of the Daxing. Based on the lessons learned from the past by King Anhua and King Ning, the local government will first bind the palaces of the princes to mourn for the Daxing Emperor for a period of 27 months. Why not? Without the disturbance of the vassal king, the common people will only applaud!"

Yang Tinghe opened his mouth, but he didn't expect him to answer like this.

Does he not want the support of his clan?
"After I ascend the throne, I will reward the palaces of the princes. With both kindness and power, it is not easy for the current princes to mess up?"

Why didn't Jiajing, who had made a lot of noise about the ceremony at the beginning of his succession, encounter any rebellion from the feudal lords?
Zhu Houcong eased his tone, and continued: "After listening to what the elders of the pavilion have worked hard in Beijing for more than a month, I know that you also want to make new mistakes. The direction is the same, so don't worry about how I succeed to the throne. You've exhausted your energy. Mr. Yang Ge, you should be very clear about the outcome of this matter if you continue to argue about it. Those who insist on admonishing me and those who agree with me will become partisan disputes? Everyone has no intention of state affairs. I don't want to do that, understand. ?"

Yang Tinghe stopped talking.

It turns out that following the old ways just refers to the handling of this matter?
Is it because Yang Tinghe lacks courage?
No...Yang Tinghe looked up at Sijun, and saw in his eyes the kind of meaningful insight that only belongs to adults.

It was a real insight, as if Yang Tinghe knew what kind of thoughts had passed in his mind.

Understood, with a hint of beating.

Yang Tinghe didn't fight for the right to speak out of selfish desires.

The 15-year-old king, Yang Tinghe's predecessors had a deep lesson.No matter how Li Dongyang bears the burden of humiliation, how many years has the reputation of "accompanying the prime minister" been spread?
One bad thing is that the ministers continue to grow bigger and the treacherous sycophants run rampant.

The emperor is young and vigorous, the probability of him being a wise monarch is too low.

Yang Tinghe only knows now that more than half of his plans have been lost.

Agreed to change the bet, it was the first round of loss.

Here it is clearly agreed that he will succeed or not, and it will be the second round of losing.

Next, we all want to reform the disadvantages and make new ones, but how to implement the New Deal must be the third round.

With the character of this heir, can he really listen to persuasion?

This is Yang Tinghe's last insistence.

In a complicated mood, Jiang Mian knelt down again: "Your Highness, I beg your Highness to invite your Highness, and you need to be cautious when your heir has a son under the name of Emperor Daxing. Since Your Highness has made up his mind, why bother to bury future troubles?"

Zhu Houcong looked at Jiang Mian meaningfully.

Smart man.

It is very useful to lift the roof a little more.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's too early to say, I'm only 15 years old, what's the rush?"

It can't be the eldest son, let alone the eldest son, who knows that it's a matter of the year of the monkey?

Zhu Houcong just expressed his "attitude".

After Jiang Mian said these words, he stopped talking when he achieved his goal.

The others just looked at Jiang Mian and cursed secretly.

Seeing this, Gu Dayong turned around and went to the gate of the palace after paying homage, and sang loudly: "The empress dowager said: the throne cannot be left empty for a long time, the heir has already arrived in the palace, and all civil and military officials inside and outside can send a note to persuade him to come in immediately! The king is promoted to sit, and all the officials will meet!"

……

The heir of the Ming Dynasty, the son of heaven after today, finally appeared in front of the civil and military officials in the capital and even the representatives of the elders from the army and civilians. Inside and outside the hall, everyone knelt down.

Standing in the front row, Xu Pengju, who vaguely heard the voice in the hall just now, led the important officials who were qualified to enter the hall, and after entering, he first bowed four times.

Xu Pengju saw Xu Guangzuo nod to him, he also saw Yang Tinghe and the others' dazed eyes in their flushed eyes, and the admiring gazes of Gu Dayong and the officials of the palace when they looked at the heir.

He took out the first letter of persuasion carefully prepared by the master of the staff, raised his hands high and said loudly: "My lord, Wei Guogong Xu Pengju, I beg Your Highness to take the throne as soon as possible."

Three persuasions and three words, unspoken rules.

For the sake of solemnity, the routines are fixed.

Zhu Houcong sat firmly on the throne, watching so many people in front of him take out the persuasion notes one by one, and the person in charge of etiquette collected them and put them on a plate before presenting them to him.

But Zhu Houcong shook his head, sighed and said the first refusal: "I'm not allowed."

"My lord, Xu Pengju, Duke of the State of Wei, I invite Your Highness to ascend to the Supreme Court of Chenji early, so as to comfort the hope of all living beings!" He took out a second letter of advice.

This time, Zhu Houcong took a letter of persuasion and looked at it, and replied pretendingly: "Looking at Qi has made me more sad, how can I bear to say something about the enthronement? Please don't allow me."

"The hearts of the four seas yearn very much. My minister, Wei Guogong Xu Pengju, Fuwang Your Highness follows the ancestral precepts, obeys the sentiments of the crowd, less restraint and eagerness, and is eager to ascend to the high position!"

Another round of persuasion notes was sent up, this time I read a few more letters, and I kept kneeling down.

Zhu Houcong knew that he might have handled it more beautifully than Jiajing, because he knew the direction of this matter and the bottom line of all parties better, because he had discussed it with Zhou Zhao, Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo and others frankly, because he He does have the heart of an adult.

Under the blessing of the aura of imperial power, it seems that there is a sense of power.

But he knew that it was only because the ascension to the throne was really difficult. Yang Tinghe's personality and his strength basically determined that he would not be able to do that traitor—before Zhu Houzhao died, there were three other "eight tigers" who were hated by Yang Tinghe and them Still favored and in power.

The original Jiajing also passed this hurdle, but the later ceremony still lasted for many years.

How much have you changed?
Next, the real struggle for power will begin in specific matters.

Thinking of this, after Zhu Houcong put down the persuasion note in hand, he looked at everyone with firm eyes: "Looking at Qi again and again, I have the loyalty and love of Jianqing and others. The clan has important affairs, so I dare not refuse firmly, and I reluctantly obey the invitation. Where is the Ministry of Rites?"

Mao Cheng replied with a complicated mood: "I, Minister of Rites, Mao Cheng, pay my respects to Your Highness."

"Yuqin was ordered by the emperor's elder brother Daxing to send officials to welcome him to Beijing. According to the order of the Empress Dowager Cishou, the throne cannot be emptied for a long time. He ordered that the emperor's throne will be on April 22. All the officials, military and civilian officials, and the seniors of the army and civilians combined words to persuade him to come. , and then to the third, the words of love are sincere, and you will listen to what you ask, and you will hear it with dignity."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The sound of the mountain shouting long live resounded outside the Xuanwu Gate in the capital, and on the side of the Tiandishanchuan Altar.

　Thank you for the reward of 1500 points, thank Dapeng for the reward of 500 points, and thank Li Dong, Qiqi Yaya, and Huangsha for the reward of 100 points!
