Chapter 518 – The Emperor of the Grand Line is Here
Chongwen Hall.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi, looking straight ahead, walked slowly up to the Golden Hall.
However, he carefully bypassed the dragon chair, and then sat on a golden pier on the side.
After all, at this time, he was still the crown prince and did not dare to overstep his bounds.
Next, it should be read the emperor’s posthumous edict, Zhu Gaoqi received this edict, before the emperor can be the throne.
As for the contents of the posthumous edict, there has actually been a lot of controversy over this.
Whether or not to add Zhang Anshi sealing the king of Song, the hundred officials almost did not fight.
And finally …… this posthumous photo or let the crown prince Zhu Gaoqi to determine, Zhu Gaoqi is handed over to the Secretary of the Palace of Justice.
Right now, that answer is pending, and many people are jittery.
In fact, as Zhang Anshi said to Zhu Gaoqi, the fundamental problem of this matter is that the favorable has appeared, there has long been a group of people around active, began to think of ways to camp.
In so many days, I don t know how much gold and silver and jewelry and calligraphy and painting in the flow, and I don t know how many people have made many promises, and these promises …… can be paid for real money.
Once you can’t sit this favorably, there can be too many variables ahead.
At this time, the Secretarial Supervisor in charge of the seal eunuchs also lost ha holding the golden box, carefully took out the sealed imperial decree.
He unveiled it, and it was later passed on to Zhang Jing, the Minister of Rites.
Zhang Jing was in charge of this matter, and immediately, he took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly.
Zhang Jing mouthed, “By the grace of Heaven, Emperor Daxing, the edict says!”
This statement was made.
Zhu Gaoqi turned around and went down to the hall, and the hundred officials stood in silence.
Just waiting for Prince Zhu Gaoqi to take the lead in leading the hundred officials to receive the decree.
And taking advantage of this gap, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Jing, quickly scanned the contents of the posthumous edict, this look, face suddenly changed.
Obviously …… what is in this posthumous edict is extremely different from what he imagined.
Therefore, he violently began to give the ministers of the two classes, flashing a meaningful expression.
There were people, carefully observing Zhang Jing’s face, seemingly wanting to discover the content of the posthumous edict by virtue of this.
At this time, once they saw Zhang Jing so, suddenly, many people’s faces changed, and even some people directly face like dirt, as if the hot heart, all of a sudden fell into the ice cellar, even feel cold all over the body.
Zhu Gaoqi slowly walked down the hall, took square steps, and came to the center of the hall.
But by now, people were already starting to get up in seven.
As long as this posthumous edict is read out, it is considered to be finalized and cannot be changed!
When drafting the edict, it can still be disputed, discussed, and even torn apart, but as long as it is read out, it cannot be changed.
Zhang Jing’s expression, which was becoming more and more gloomy, was ashen.
Finally, someone suddenly said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
The one who spoke was actually the royal historian Deng Hai.
Zhu Gaoqi glanced at him, revealing a displeased look.
Only to see Deng Hai calmly bowed down and said, “Your Highness, I …… have a matter to play.”
Zhu Gaoqi pursed his lips and frowned, “Wait until after receiving the decree.”
“It’s a matter of national importance, so I dare not neglect it.” Deng Haidao.
Zhu Gaoqi obviously to such rude words, very displeased, then tensed face said, “You are a minister, you should know …… this time is not the time.”
Deng Hai kowtowed and mouthed the sin of ten thousand deaths.
At this time, Wen Yuan Pavilion University scholar Jin Youzi said, “Your Highness, both have been initiated, may as well listen to this public first, and does not delay what effort.”
Zhu Gaoqi glanced at Jin Youzi.
Obviously, this important minister of the previous dynasty, a university scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, one of the three ministers entrusted by the emperor to prepare the edict, still carries a lot of weight.
Only then did Zhu Gaoqi say, “What is the matter of the report?”
Deng Haidao: “Your Highness, the dynasty recently non-sense heavy, so that the hundred officials and the world’s military and civilian uneasiness, all said …… Daxing Emperor’s legacy, was tampered with, the Daxing Emperor’s life, the most important ancestry, and the state dynasty is also to rule the world with filial piety, because of this, so it is the hundred officials sideways, military and civilian uneasiness, the minister more heard …… heard something ……”
Zhu Gaoqi coldly looked at Deng Hai.
In fact, when the words are said, the meaning is already clear.
This is one more fight he has to make.
Zhu Gaoqi said, “What is it?”
“I have heard that the world’s various Buzhengzhi, according to the minister, and even all commanders, are also discussing this matter, that the dynasty, there must be a treacherous ministers, affecting His Highness, and even tampered with the posthumous edict of the Da Xing Emperor ……”
Zhu Gaoqi although most of the time give people a feeling of more gentle, but born in the emperor’s royal family, obviously is not oil lamp, immediately from Deng Hai’s words to hear the words outside the voice.
He stared fixedly at Deng Hai, and said slowly, “There is such non-sense and gossip, and with the various ministers of the cloth, the press commissioner, and the capital commanders, what is the relationship?”
Duncan Haido: “I’m a minister ……”
Zhu Gaoqi coldly interrupted him, “Could it be that the world’s ministers of the cloth, the press commissioner, the commander-in-chief, even dare to take this to blackmail the court?”
Deng Hai immediately said with fear and trepidation, “Your Highness, I did not say so, I mean …… that Your Highness is ascending to the throne soon, and the hundred officials and the military and the people have doubts, Your Highness should comply with the public opinion of the heart of heaven, in order to settle the world s heart.”
His face is sincere, and his words are earnest, and he seems to be thinking about Zhu Gaoqi in every way.
But in reality, it is to Zhu Gaoqi painfully stated the interests.
When a new ruler ascends to the throne, if there is chaos everywhere and the hundred officials have their own agenda, it will not be good for the world.
Your Highness doesn’t want the world to be in chaos, right?
Zhu Gaoqi looked at Deng Hai with a smile on his face, in his opinion, the more this Deng Hai acted obsequious, but the more hateful he looked.
Fixing his mind, Zhu Gaoqi held back the anger in his heart and said, “Then what does the Secretary want the Palace to do?”
Deng Haidao: “I have already said ……”
Zhu Gaoqi grimaced, “Drive Zhang Anshi to Xinzhou?”
Deng Hai busy said: “is not to rush, is the vassal, Daming ancestral system, the vassal king adult, may not stay stationed in the capital, must be vassal. Your Highness, Emperor Taizu did this, has his own reasons. And Your Highness Kesi datong, inherited is the foundation of the ancestors, should honor Taizu, Daxing Emperor, can make the world return to the heart ah.”
The words are here.
Zhu Gaoqi tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he hooked a smile.
With his hands behind his back, he said slowly, “Is that so?”
Deng Hai looked pained as he said, “Exactly.”
Zhu Gaoqi said unhurriedly, “What if the Palace does not allow it?”
“Your …… Highness,” Xia Yuanji suddenly stood out, “Your …… Highness, now that rumors are already spreading outside, Your Highness can no longer be capricious. ”
The word “capricious” teaches many people to be colorful at once.
These are the words of the masters and elders lecturing their own sons and daughters, while Zhu Gaoqi is the Crown Prince.
Such words are too harsh.
Zhu Gaoqi fiercely looked at Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household.
He hadn’t expected Natsubara Yoshi to be so harsh today.
Many ministers, on the other hand, seemed to be inspired by Natsubara Yoshi at this time.
At one point, many people had begun to jump on the bandwagon.
“I’ll be straightforward.” The one who opened his mouth at this time was Chen Ji, the Minister of War.
Chen Ji said in a loud voice: ”Your Highness, I just got a report, these days, the world is full of thieves, and the state governments around the world, but they don’t have the heart to fight against the thieves, why is this? This is because …… the current situation in the dynasty is worrying! They are worried that Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Daxing, but only have selfish thoughts, and even leave Emperor Daxing’s last wish behind.”
After a pause, it is obvious that his words are not yet finished, and then said: ”Now that this is going on, does your highness still want to be bent on having his own way? National decline, there must be demons, I am not saying that, His Highness the King of Song such a great success in the dynasty has any faults, but because, historically, the son of heaven to rule the world, need to regard the world’s subjects as their own son, all the son, need to be a bowl of water end of the level, shall not have some favoritism, not to mention some favoritism, only then the world can be stabilized, can be too much pampering a person, then not only misuse of the King of Wuhu County, but also misplaced the gods of the earth and grain. ”
He lamented, stepped out, and then said: “Wasn’t Wei Qing in the time of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty the same? By Emperor Wu so much love, also quite a bit of credit, but because Emperor Wu too much favor, only firmly believe that Wei Qing as the head of the people, therefore, a single military for decades, so that the country is poor, the people do not have enough to live. There is no one more meritorious in the world than Wei Qing, but there is no one more wrongful to the world than Wei Qing. Now the subjects are terrified about this, especially since Your Highness actually tampered with Emperor Da Xing’s posthumous edict for the sake of His Highness, the King of Song, what kind of harm will be done in this.”
“Your Highness ……”
“Your Highness ……”
One voice was mixed together, and a smell of gunpowder violently appeared in this hall.
As a matter of fact, historically, when a new ruler ascends to the throne, giving a downward spiral is actually the norm in Daming, and almost every emperor, in the first one or two years, often has to make some compromises with his ministers.
So …… created the history books, the so-called so-and-so emperor ascended to the throne, the first year, how diligent, how to vindicate some of the great line of the emperor’s wrongdoing, and promote the former deposed ministers, or, to kill some of the previous dynasty’s ministers, clouds.
This is all the result of the new ruler and his ministers checking and balancing each other. The former, for the sake of the stability of the world, made some gestures in exchange for more support when his own prestige was insufficient.
It’s just that the atmosphere today is particularly different.
Hu Guang’s eyes were slightly open, he was already furious, and he was about to stand out with a puff of air, but he was tugged by Yang Rong.
Yang Rong shook his head silently at him.
At this time, only to see Zhu Gaoqi said, “The ministers said this, it seems …… that if the Palace does not listen to the words of the ministers, this world will die.”
Just then, another person stood out, but it was the capital royal inspector Liu Zhengwen.
Liu Wen said with a straight face: “Your Highness, the rise and fall are all dependent on the lord, looking at the scriptures and history, if the lord is virtuous, then the world is bound to be great, and the way to be virtuous is to open up the path of speech, listen to the advice of the loyal and good people, and to be able to restrain one’s own selfish desires. Your Highness is known for being virtuous, could you not know this truth?”
That before the Ministry of War Langzhong Chen Ji also went on to say: “I here, there is also a zhongshe, is my excerpts of the Buzhengji Division, as well as the various provinces and counties, since this year, the people around the situation of rebellion. Among them gathered ten thousand people, there are three, more than a thousand people, there are sixteen houses, the court at this time, is to rely on the local three divisions, into the elimination of thieves and bandits, and at this time to chill their hearts, then the world’s thieves, how to get rid of all?”
Zhu Gaoqi coldly smiled and said, “How can the Secretary and so on bite, sealing the Song King …… on the feudal, is the posthumous edict, this is a rumor, but the Secretary and so on regarded the rumor as the posthumous decree, is it not laughable?”
That hand holding the decree of the Ministry of Rites Minister Zhang Jing, but could not help but say: “Your Highness, the world thinks, this is a thousand times true decree! What’s more, it is the Wen Yuan Pavilion university scholar Jin Gong heard, Jin Gong’s character as well as learning, are reputed all over the world, could it be that Your Highness does not even believe in Jin Gong?”
The gazes of the crowd fell on Jin Youzi’s body.
Jin Youzi’s expression was calm and he didn’t say a word.
Zhu Gaoqi coldly and furiously said, “You and others are deceiving the orphan!”
“The name is not justified is justified ……” Someone stood out again, appeared to be extremely resolute attitude: “I, etc., dare not deceive the depositary, really is the legacy of the imperial edict so, the law of the ancestors so. Ministers to do, is to maintain discipline, to prevent your highness was blinded by people, was caused by the country is not peaceful, is the loyal ministers should do things, if everything is obedient to meet, will not become a stream of Qin Hui? Your Highness should think of the world, implement the legacy of the edict, so that the people’s hearts at ease, if not, I am afraid that the world will not be convinced.”
“Disobedience, what does it mean?” Zhu Gaoqi to this person is extremely impressive, this person is also considered to be a three dynasty veteran, Zhu Yuanzhang in the time, was an official, and since then by Jianwen’s admiration, but then cast Zhu Di, and now it has been to the Honglu Temple Secretary such a high position.
The person who ranks as one of the Nine Ministers is also extremely powerful.
This Secretary of the Honglu Temple, Chen Zhen, said, “Your Highness is wise, why do you need to get to the bottom of this.”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “Is it saying …… that if this palace does not honor your posthumous edict, even if it is the emperor’s throne, there are people who refuse to be convinced?”
“I don’t dare, I’m guilty of a capital offense!”
The crowd hooted and hollered in obeisance.
But this gesture is most disgusting.
They are the ones who hide their words, they are the ones who express non-cooperation, and they are the ones who lower their stance and say that they will die and dare not.
It’s like cowhide candy, sticking to your body, making you feel uncomfortable, and if you want to take it out, you can’t help but damage your skin and hair.
Zhu Gaoqi gas eyes wide, so shocked: “Both so, then …… the Palace does not namely this emperor seat on just!”
Saying so, he brushed his sleeve fiercely and was about to leave in a hurry.
This one, however, teaches stupidity.
No one expected that Zhu Gaoqi was more capricious than them.
Then someone immediately said, “Please honor the last decree of Emperor Da Xing and assume the throne of the Emperor!”
The crowd then chanted again, “Please honor your highness …….”
Many people bite the words “honoring the legacy” extremely hard.
“Where did the last decree …… come from ……”
A voice that snapped, breaking the situation.
The crowd was surprised, but for a moment they felt that the voice was familiar.
So, someone subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
I actually saw Zhang Anshi, wearing a fish suit and carrying a sword on his waist, actually leading a group of big Han generals in a fishbowl.
Zhang Anshi bellowed, “What posthumous decree?”
The ministers were a bit confused and even forgot to react for a moment.
For good reason, we are here to carry out the temple dispute, in fact, this kind of thing is also considered common in Daming, sometimes even if the fight is red, in fact, is also behind closed doors of their own.
But Zhang Anshi, this guy …… does not follow the reason, even at such a time, brought the big Han general of the Jin Yiwei in.
But Zhang Anshi was imposing, with a murderous look.
But all at once, instead, it was as if someone had caught something.
In fact, for those who could enter this hall, people were really not afraid that someone would dare to hold a knife to their necks.
But Zhang Anshi brought troops into the temple, this is instead to authorize people to become the world’s crime.
“Zhang Anshi, what are you doing? Are you going to plot a rebellion?”
“Get out!”
“But know what this place is!”
“Is Zhang Anshi trying to usurp?”
For a moment, the hall was abuzz.
Zhang Anshi squinted at them and hooked his lips in a cold smile.
Listening to the rising and falling voices, Zhang Anshi said coldly, “I only ask you, where did you get the last decree, and what is it?”
Previously the imperial historian, Deng Hai, took the lead and rushed forward in a righteous manner.
An imperial historian like Deng Hai, who is a performance artist in his own right, glared angrily at Zhang Anshi and shouted, “Zhang Anshi, what do you intend to do? If you want to conspire to usurp, then step over me! The gentlemen …… must not allow this thief to succeed ……”
Snap ……
Zhang Anshi looked at the person who ran to his front, a cold light flashed in his eyes, then he quickly raised his hand and directly dropped a slap on Deng Hai’s face.
Deng Hai was never expected, Zhang Anshi actually dared to do it, only felt a flash in front of his eyes, his brain began to buzz, and his ears were buzzing and he could not hear anything.
He was horrified and suddenly knocked to the ground, in fact, he only thought that Zhang Anshi was only seeing the deadlock inside, and thus in the name of rescuing the driver, he wanted to come to show his power.
But then how to show the wind, but also never dare to make trouble in this temple, as long as his posture than Zhang Anshi also hard, this Zhang Anshi will be gray and roll out.
But who knows ……
“Ah ……,” Deng Hai wailed in pain.
But it was fine if he didn’t shout, when he shouted like this, several big man generals behind Zhang Anshi immediately came forward to hold him down, and someone even directly swung his fist and smashed it towards his mouth.
Snap ……
There was silence in the temple.
There was only a whimpering sound, and upon closer inspection, Deng Hai’s mouth was covered in blood, writhing in pain on the ground.
Zhang Anshi, however, had an iron face and murderous eyes.
This moment truly taught the Hundred Officials to realize that things had gone beyond their expectations.
But not waiting for them to react, more generals of the Great Han began to enter the hall in a fishtail, everyone sat on their swords, murderous.
Zhang Anshi sank his eyebrows and looked at them coldly: “Who else …… wants to say something?”
The crowd looked at Zhang Anshi in horror and remained silent.
“Since you guys won’t say anything, then I’ll say it.” Zhang Anshi said.
“I have a word.” At this moment, someone finally couldn’t hold back.
But the Honglu Temple Secretary, this Honglu Temple Secretary three old ministers, at this time, although I feel afraid, but also realize that, to this point, must have to do something for.
“Dare I ask His Highness, the King of Song.” The Honglu Secretary said, “What does His Highness intend to do by bringing troops into the palace?”
Zhang Anshi faced this malicious questioning, but he held his head high and said, “Acting under orders!”
The Secretary of the Honglu Temple sneered, “By whose decree?”
Zhang Anshi did not change his face, “Of course it’s Your Majesty!”
Hongluo Secretary step by step: “His Highness is still on the throne ……”
Zhang Anshi gave him a cold, mocking look and said, “I am talking about His Majesty, the Prince of Yongle!”
“……”
The Honglu Temple Secretary s face changed, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said periodically, “Da …… Da Xing Emperor?”
