Wang An touched Wei Zi's face and immediately walked out of the warm room to announce the order.

At this time, outside the hall was standing outside Yang Lian and other civil servants who broke into the Ganqing Palace.

Most of these Ming civil officials standing outside the Ganqing Palace were officials of the Donglin Party.

Because Zhu Youxiao's father Zhu Changluo was able to preserve the throne and successfully become emperor, the Donglin Party made great contributions.

Zhu Changluo naturally repaid his favor, and after he ascended the throne, he promoted Donglin Party officials to a large extent.

But what the officials of the Donglin Party did not expect was that Zhu Changluo died in just one month as emperor.

Therefore, in order to protect their political interests, the officials of the Donglin Party had to work hard to control the new emperor Zhu Youxiao, who was about to ascend the throne, and let the support of the people fall into their hands.

Wang An had always had conflicts with Li Xuanshi, but he had close contact with Wang Wenyan, who was from the Donglin Party of the Outer.

Therefore, with the support of Donglin Party officials, Wang An intended to take Zhu Youxiao out of the palace and then accept the support of civil servants.

At this moment, the civil servants standing outside the Ganqing Palace were waiting for Wang An to appear with Zhu Youxiao.

But what surprised the civil servants was that Wang An did not show up with Zhu Youxiao after he came out, but appeared alone.

Yang Lian, the head of the military officer, was quite excited to see this and immediately asked: "Eunuch Wang, what's going on?! What about Your Highness, the eldest son?!"

Wang An glanced at Yang Lian, ignored Yang Lian, but said with a serious expression: "I left an oral order before the death of Emperor Daxing. The chief minister of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, came in to see His Highness the eldest son of the emperor! Please, Yuanfu."

Fang Congzhe, who had been silent, was quite shocked after hearing this, but he immediately understood and replied: "Old minister obeys the order! Please lead the way!"

Yang Lian and other civil officials stood there in surprise.

When did the Emperor Daxing leave such an oral order?

Not long after, Fang Congzhe came down to Zhu Youxiao under Wang An.

Fang Congzhe immediately greeted Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Don't be polite! The father left a will, and the palace wanted to inherit the throne, but in the future, he would summon the cabinet master and write an edict. He also asked the cabinet master to write an edict here, so that he would announce his edict later."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An: "Tao Seal!"

Fang Congzhe naturally did not dare to disobey or question, and hurriedly replied: "Yes!"

Wang An also honestly took the treasure seal.

For a moment, Fang Congzhe wrote the edict and handed it over to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao took a look, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked Wang An to stamp the seal. Then the other party Congzhe and Wang An said, "Follow me to meet the ministers outside."

So, Fang Congzhe and Wang An accompanied Zhu Youxiao to the outside of the hall.

"brothers!"

Li Xuanshi hurriedly followed him at this time and shouted, "She wanted Zhu Youxiao to grant her the Empress Dowager."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew what she was thinking, so he looked back at Li Xuanshi and said, "Stay honestly in the warm house. If you want to be the queen mother, you must look like a queen mother!"

Li Xuanshi heard Zhu Youxiao say this and shut up obediently and retreated: "Okay!"

On this side, as soon as Zhu Youxiao arrived outside the hall, Yang Lian immediately hurriedly grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and walked out.

Zhu Youxiao almost fell to the ground by such a pull.

"The emperor's will is the emperor!"

Wang An hurriedly shouted at this time.

Yang Lian had to stop, but his hands were still holding Zhu Youxiao tightly.

Zhu Youxiao took this and slapped Yang Lian, shouting sternly: "Bold! Who gave you the courage to pull me up? Is the Jinyiwei official school in Danei dead? Is the kidnapping of this palace ignored? Where is my Ming Dynasty?!"

The Jinyiwei official schoolmen obeyed and surrounded them with swords. Although they didn't know why the eldest son suddenly became angry, they naturally did not dare to neglect when they heard Zhu Youxiao's rebuke.

Yang Lian then threw away his hand and subconsciously wanted to warm up his face, but he also reacted at this time and couldn't help but bow and said, "Yang Lian, the head of the military department, was rude!"

"snort!"

Zhu Youxiao gave Yang Lian a blank look, then looked at Wang An.

Wang An was so shocked that he saw Zhu Youxiao slapping Yang Lian. As soon as he noticed that Zhu Youxiao looked at him, he was so scared that he turned his head and said the will in a trembling voice.

The content of the will is naturally very simple, it is nothing more than praising Zhu Youxiao for his successor to the throne of the emperor.

The ministers present had not yet come to their senses from the shocking scene of Zhu Youxiao slapping Yang Lian.

Therefore, when Wang An read the edict, no minister reacted.

On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao himself choked up first: "My son received the imperial edict!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao went directly to Zhu Changluo's coffin and started crying.

In this era, filial piety is highly valued.

Zhu Youxiao naturally could not show his joy in inheriting the throne, but rather showed his most filial piety.

Fang Congzhe recalled the scenes that had just happened and was shocked. He found that since the eldest son first passed on the pretext of the emperor's oral order, the entire Ming Dynasty's initiative in the handover of imperial power was controlled by the eldest son himself.

Before he knew it, the eldest son of the emperor inherited the throne from the ministers to support him and became the emperor who passed the throne.

Fang Congzhe was surprised to find that the eldest son of the emperor who lived in the harem was quite capable.

In order not to be hated by the eldest son who seemed to be unsophisticated, Fang Congzhe came over and knelt down at Zhu Youxiao: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, please mourn!"

Seeing this, Yang Lian and other civil servants followed and knelt down to Zhu Youxiao and saluted: "I pay homage to Your Majesty, please mourn!"

Zhu Youxiao stopped crying, looked back at the ministers, suddenly became serious and said, "The cabinet has drafted an edict, and the Ministry of Rites agreed to ascend the throne!"

"I will obey the order!"

The cabinet chief Fang Congzhe and the Grand Secretary Liu Yi-ying both replied.

Next, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Yang Lian.

Among the ministers present, Zhu Youchao was most familiar with Yang Lian because Yang Lian was a famous counselor in history and died because he impeached Wei Zhongxian.

Moreover, as far as Zhu Youxiao knew, Yang Lian was the most powerful official from the 48th year of Wanli to the second year of Tianqi. Although he was just a military officer, he was able to control the power of the court because he had a close relationship with the eunuch Wang An, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor.

It was not until Wei Zhongxian appeared that Yang Lian lost his power.

Yang Lian is an official of the Donglin Party. Now the Donglin Party has spread all over the government and the people. In the cabinet, the Minister of Personnel, they are both members of the Donglin Party, and even the Silijian is also a member of the Donglin Party.

It can be said that the party is dominant.

This is a terrible thing for Zhu Youxiao.

What does one party dominance mean? It means that internal political conflicts will be very sharp.

In fact, what the Donglin Party did after taking power alone was to eliminate dissidents, either me or enemy.

This also led to other officials who did not agree with the Donglin Party uniting to form the eunuch party, which intensified the Ming Party struggle.

Then Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Youxiao both became victims of this kind of party struggle.

This intensification of party struggles will also cause a further decline in the country's destiny in the Ming Dynasty, indirectly fostering the expansion of Jiannu.

Zhu Youxiao knew that the recession of the late dynasty in history had a lot to do with the intensification of internal party struggles, such as the struggle between the new and old party struggles in the Northern Song Dynasty led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao, who was about to become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, decided to try his best to eliminate internal conflicts and curb the intensification of party struggles.

"Yang Lian is disrespectful to me and throws Yang Lian into the imperial prison!"
