Tianguan 148_Chapter 148 The Imperial Envoy Arrives, Yi Zhao De Dao Chi enters the palace for three years, and has followed the Crown Prince to take over the Imperial Envoy, but this time it is different.《》/《》/《》

There were not just one or two imperial envoys, but three eunuchs who were responsible for the ceremony. In addition to Gu Dayong, there were also Wei Fei and Zhang Jin. The "eunuch" here was not another name for eunuchs, but the rank of internal officials.

Among the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, except for the Chief of Ceremonies, which has several eunuchs, the other yamen only have the "eunuch" grade of palm seal, which is the fourth rank.

In addition to the three internal officials, there were also cabinet scholar Liang Chu, Duke Ding Xu Guangzuo, Hou Ninghou Zhang Heling, Prince Consort Cui Yuan, and Minister of Rites Mao Cheng.

Everyone in the palace was astonished by the scale of the imperial envoys, including internal officials, cabinet ministers, nobles, relatives, and ministries.

Moreover, if the imperial envoys were in mourning, who else could make all the princes and ministers mourn?

Even Liu Congyun, who mentioned "brothers will eventually become brothers" to the prince at the Qiyun Hall yesterday, looked excited when he saw such an imperial mission. If yesterday was an eight-point possibility, then after looking at what is in front of him, it becomes a ten-point.

Apart from welcoming the successor emperor to the capital, where would such a scale be used? Now that the emperor has passed away, he has become the late emperor; the prince of the palace is the lord of the world who has ascended the throne?

Liu Congyun's eyes shone brightly.

Dao Chi stood in the queue and looked at the imperial envoys in front of him. When Gu Dayong first arrived in Anlu, he had not yet dressed in white clothes. Now he has also changed into mourning clothes. It seems that the imperial envoys have already planned to change their clothes after arriving in Anlu.

.

It seems that the big bosses in the capital, although they are in a hurry to go south, have made arrangements for the return trip, so there is no need to worry about anything unusual.

Although the Crown Prince was already crowned Crown Prince when he was ten years old, because he was still underage, when facing imperial envoys, he was already led by the Princess.

There was no emotion or anger on the faces of the princess and the prince. They followed the rules and opened the middle door of the palace. They led all the royal family members and Anlu civil and military ministers to greet the angel at the entrance of the palace.

Seeing that all the imperial envoys were wearing white uniforms, the princess looked surprised and the prince was a little stunned.

According to the etiquette system, no matter whether they are nobles, civil or military officials, they must kneel down and worship when facing the princess, concubine and prince. However, because they hold the imperial edict and the empress dowager's edict in their hands, they must first go to the main hall of the palace to deliver the edict, and then in

Formal meeting.

Then, all the imperial envoys were welcomed to Chengyun Hall.

The civil and military officials in Anlu were still confused. They got the news at noon and knew that an imperial envoy was coming from the capital. The official post sent an official document asking them to go to the palace to listen to the decree. When they arrived at the palace, they waited from noon until the afternoon. When the imperial envoy arrived, they were surprised.

This is the situation.

Looking at everything in front of me, what else can there be besides national mourning? Why didn’t the Yamen receive news of the national mourning? Why did so many powerful ministers go south to Anlu?

Everyone sensed that something was wrong, but in front of the crown prince and the big bosses in the capital, there was room for them to speak. Even if the crown prince was promoted to the palace, there were still many officials who were qualified to be in the palace.

In the Chengyun Hall, the incense table had already been set up. Everyone knelt down, and Liang Chu stood facing south and facing north. What he was reading was not an ordinary imperial edict, but a posthumous edict.

The edict said:

I have inherited the inheritance from my ancestors for seven years, but I am alone. The late emperor entrusted me to get people in the line of succession. The ancestors of the clan and society depend on me. The emperor's filial piety and respect for the emperor's brother Xingxian, the eldest son of the king, are smart, benevolent, filial, and have a long-term ethics.

.

There was silence in the palace. The princess slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her face.

The prince also had a sad face and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he..."

Liang Chu lamented: "Your Majesty will have a grand tour on the 14th, and I will go south according to the Queen Mother's order. The Queen Mother also has an order for Your Highness here."

Next, Liang Chu read out the empress dowager's edict, ordering the prince to go north to succeed him.

After reading out the two edicts, Mao Cheng asked the crown prince to ascend the throne. According to the court's legal system, when a prince leaves the vassal state, he must first receive a golden talisman from the court before leaving the vassal land, otherwise he will be punished.

There was already a cry inside and outside Chengyun Hall.

Yuan Zonggao, the chief official of the palace, endured his grief and asked the prince to ascend the throne.

The crown prince ascended to the throne, and the palace and Anlu civil and military ministers stood by him. The Duke of Ding, Xu Guangzuo, entered the golden talisman.

The prince stood up and took it in person, and all the ministers greeted him.

Although everyone still calls "Your Highness", the meaning is different. After accepting this will, the Crown Prince is no longer the lord of a country, but the successor of the Ming Dynasty.

The eyes of all the officials in the palace were already bright, and the local civil and military officials were also extremely excited.

When a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.

What's more, the prince got the whole emperor.

In the future, their future is promising based on their experience as officials in Anlu or the royal palace.

Dao Chi, Liu Congyun, Chen Chizhong and others all stood at the end of the royal palace, but they could still hear the complete decree clearly.

It wasn't until this incident that he finally understood why there was a dispute over the great etiquette. It was because the will was not clearly written.

It only said that "the order of ethics should be established", and it did not mention that he would be adopted into the name of Emperor Xiaozong.

In the view of the Queen Mother and the court officials, the mention of "the establishment of moral order" was to legitimize the succession of the crown prince and save the princes from criticism. However, both the Queen Mother and the cabinet ministers felt that righteousness had no sons. Since the throne was passed on

To a cousin, the cousin should inherit the incense of Emperor Xiaozong, which is also in line with the rule of "brothers end up with younger brothers".

But the edict did not mention this sentence.

The official etiquette was over, and all that was left was the sound of sadness in the palace.

At this time, among the palace officials, only Yuan Zonggao, Lu Song, and Zhang Zuo could show their faces in front of the imperial envoy, while the others were sent out of the palace.

Many people stood in front of the Qiyun Hall, their faces showing sadness for a while, excitement for a while, indescribably weird.

Dao Chi's heart finally calmed down and he strode back to Lequn Courtyard.

Classes at home and abroad were suspended, and he was not on errands, so he was really leisurely.

It was quiet in Lequn Courtyard, Liu Congyun and Chen Chizhong were not there.

Before the prince's departure, Anlu City was under full martial law. Just after His Highness Chengyun came down, some people from the Yiwei Department and the Fuwei Department went out to guard the city gate.

Anlu is now not only the capital of the country, but also the residence of the emperor.

The five thousand mounted royal guards who went north to meet the emperor will also enter the city later. Two thousand of them will stay at the palace and three thousand at the local area.

Dao Chi lay on the bed, feeling a little worried. Next year's provincial examination is really a hurdle. If he can't pass it, it will be really bad.

It's just that he wasn't used to sighing, so when he thought about the imperial examination, he got up and started again. He went outside and picked up a copy of "Selected Works of Hongzhi Shishi" and started reading.

After reading half a chapter, his mind was in a mess, so he put the book down again.

Not being able to pass the imperial examination is a hurdle. In the past, there was a hurdle for the emperor to pass. The prince now looks normal. Except that he is more suspicious and sicker. How did he grow up to be the Jiajing emperor in history who was almost strangled to death by a palace maid? He used the virgin Yuan Hong to make elixirs.

.Disgusting or not? Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end.

Thinking again about Yan Song's fate of being notorious for thousands of years, the Taoist idiot had no choice but to take the prince's good Taoism as a big deal.

Just when I was thinking about my background, I heard someone say outside the window: "Second brother."

Dao Chi raised his head and saw Lu Bing standing outside the window.

"Come in quickly." Dao Chi stood up and said.

Lu Bing looked at the other doors and said, "Are they not here?"

The Taoist idiot said: "Everywhere is busy."

Lu Bing picked up the curtain and came in, took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's for my second brother."

Dao Chi took it and found it was still warm inside. When he opened it, there were four fist-sized buns inside.

"The shepherd's purse steamed stuffed buns are filled with vegetable oil. They are delicious. Second brother, eat them quickly. The palace has to receive the imperial envoys, and I don't know how long the kitchen will wait for the second time." Lu Bing said.

You can't smell the filling yet, but the sweetness of the flour is coming to your nostrils.

Dao Chi had just been thinking about something. He didn't feel it yet, but now that he saw the food, he was really hungry.

Dao Chi smiled and thanked him, picked up a bun, and ate it. The Lu family were all from the north, and they still retained the habit of having a large population in the north, so this bun was just like Dao Chi's taste.

I ate three in one go.

Lu Bing was leaning on the couch, watching Dao Chi eating three buns with a normal expression, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Second brother, aren't you excited?"

The Taoist Chi glanced at him and said, "When Da Lang got excited, he ate less buns?"

Lu Bing laughed twice and said: "It's not just me, even my mother didn't eat a few bites of dinner."

Seeing that there was no joy on his face, but a hint of worry between his eyebrows, Dao Chi couldn't help but wonder: "What is Dalang worried about?"

Lu Bing said with a bitter face: "Second brother, His Highness is the master of a country in Anlu, and everyone obeys him; when he arrives in the capital, he may face the emperor's relatives, princes, and ministers, and he may be bullied."

Dao Chi was stunned when he heard this. The words did not sound like Lu Bing's tone. He glanced at Lu Bing and said, "But what did aunt say?"

Lu Bing sighed and said: "My mother is worried about Your Highness... She says that His Highness seems to be easy to talk to, but he can't stand anger. If he encounters injustice, he may be wronged."

Dao Chi pondered, and it seemed that the person who knew the prince best was the prince's wet nurse. Now that the decree had just arrived in Anlu, Mrs. Fan began to worry about the future, and it was not without purpose.

Seeing that Dao Chi was silent, Lu Bing looked out the window, and then whispered: "Erlang, His Highness called Xing Baihu and Hu Tou to his side last night... Starting from yesterday, Hu Tou began to follow His Highness..."

Dao Chi raised his head and frowned: "Why didn't you see me just now?"

Lu Bingdao: "Maybe it was arranged in a dark place."

Dao Chi thought for a while and said: "With five thousand cavalry coming from the capital, there is no need to worry about the safety of the palace, right?"

Lu Bingdao: "Your Highness is just in case."

The Taoist idiot knew that it was just because the prince was suspicious and could not trust Jingqi.

But in that case, how can we take precautions on the way north? Even if we take precautions, we cannot do so openly, otherwise we will offend others before we even enter Beijing.
