Chapter 144 Yongle

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the third day after the Jingnan Army entered the capital, the King of Yan refused to persuade him to advance several times, but he did not agree to the ministers, so he reluctantly ascended the throne in the imperial city.

Because Emperor Jianwen burned himself in Fengtian Hall and "collapsed", Fengtian Hall was burned down, and the ceremony of ascension to the throne was held in Fengtian Gate. Zhu Gaoxu followed the royal family and the nobles, and the generals and ministers to enter the inner court to watch the ceremony.

The Fengtian Gate has been laid out, and a cloud disk that can be connected to the "Immortal Dew" is set up on the dragon pedestal, with a yellow cloud cover and a vermilion carpet on the ground, extending all the way outside the door.

The ministers and the musicians of the Jiaofangsi were all over the Fengtian Gate. During the national mourning, the musicians did not play music, but the show had to be there. Bells and drums outside were ringing, and there was a magnificent momentum.

After a while, Zhu Di, who had already gone to the Taimiao to worship, held his head and chest up, walked slowly to the red carpet with almost the drum beats, and the ministers bowed and stood there. Zhu Di was wearing a cumbersome and complex robes, probably borrowing the things left by Emperor Jianwen. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a complicated new clothes to be made in a few days. When he walked, the twelve tamamota on his hat was shaking gently with his steps.

Zhu Di walked up to the dragon chaise step by step, turned around, and sat upright, as if he had let out a breath.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and everyone knelt down one after another, bowing three times and nine times, and shouting "Long live" every time. The last worshiper said in unison: "My emperor will live forever!"

Zhu Di raised his robe sleeves. He seemed not used to it. He spoke very slowly and carefully. "They are flat." His robe sleeves shook vigorously, and his eyes passed through Fengtian Gate, as if he was patrolling the entire country!

Everyone said again: "Thank you, Master!"

At this moment, the officials of the Hanlin Academy had already stamped a seal on the edict of the throne and sent it to Fengtian Gate and read it here first. After the emperor agreed, they were handed over to the officials of the Honglu Temple, and then sent it to the Chengtian Gate in front to read it to the subjects.

The new monarch ascended the throne and changed his reign to Yongle. From the first day of the first lunar month next year, the first year of Yongle.

A new era of naming began from the moment the edict was promulgated.

...The Emperor Yongle Zhu Di was a thunderous and decisive person. Within a few days after ascending the throne, he first adjusted the deployment of the troops in the Jingji area and completely controlled the Southern Zhili, and then began to make a series of changes to the previous dynasty.

In the Jianwen Dynasty, those who opposed the reduction of the vassal states or were suppressed and failed to succeed quickly rose to prominence, and a large group of civil servants who supported the new emperor appeared. The operation of the imperial institutions could be roughly restored immediately.

Those who were valued in Jianwen Dynasty have taken turns to turn, and now it is time to be unlucky. The edict of ascending the throne was not drafted by Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru rejected this grace, so he was not far from death.

Then Zhu Di issued an edict to abolish all the government orders and national policies that Emperor Jianwen had over three years, temporarily restored the governing strategy of Hongwu, and said that he would restore the throne of all vassal kings.

The Ming Dynasty court had a new emperor, and those who led troops near the capital, such as Sheng Yong, surrendered one after another. Zhu Di issued an order to appoint Sheng Yong as the general officer of Huai'an and go to Huai'an to take over the territory where his son-in-law Mei Yin was stationed. Mei Yin received a letter from Princess Ningguo, had stepped down as Huai'an and was on his way back to Beijing.

The former Minister of War and Shandong Provincial Administration Secretary Tiexuan refused to surrender in Jinan, so Zhu Di decided to take the imperial throne in person. Zhu Gaoxu was also in the army and was ordered to lead his troops and horses, with thousands of vassal cavalry accompanying him, and Zhang Wu was no longer controlled by him.

The vassal cavalry should also return to the north soon, and Zhu Gaoxu's men were only more than 4,000, of which more than 3,000 were infantry soldiers. The troops he controlled once reached more than 10,000 elite infantry cavalry, but most of them were transferred by Zhu Di. Now that he had a little division, Zhu Gaoxu no longer had any strength.

...

The Jingnan Army won a great victory and entered the capital, and Zhu Di ascended the throne and became emperor had already spread to Beiping. The Yan Prince's Mansion in Beiping cheered and celebrated, and the news soon spread throughout the entire Beiping city.

When the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the wine cellar, Miao Jin was a little surprised because the eunuch was very cautious and afraid that she would run away. She never let the ladder down or enter the wine cellar.

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said, "The Jingnan Army won, and the King of Yan is now the emperor. Our prince has instructed that as long as the news of the Jingnan Army entering the capital comes, we will let Zhenren Chi Yue be released. If there is any politeness in this time, if you are not treated well, you will be more willing to pay back your worries... You can leave."

"What?" Miao Jin stood there, looking confused.

Wang Gui bowed again and said, "You can leave here."

Miao Jin didn't come back to his senses for a moment and said in confusion, "Shi Yan has attacked the capital, did I hear that right?"

Wang Gui said: "You heard it right, this is true! The year name has been changed now, and next year will be called the first year of Yongle."

Miao Jin asked, "King Gaoyang is still in the capital?"

Wang Gui replied: "Yes, the prince went to war with the prince last summer. He fought for half a year and never returned to the prince's mansion."

"Where am I going?" Miao Jin became even more confused.

"This..." Wang Gui thought for a while, "Our family can't control this matter. You can go back to Chi Yueguan or to the Yan Prince's Mansion. But I heard that Shandong is still very chaotic. If you want to go to the capital, it's better to wait for a while."

After he said that, he gestured to the ladder at the entrance, "Please!"

Miao Jin said: "I'll pack up some things."

Wang Gui nodded and said, "Okay, our family will go out first and wait for Master Chi Yue outside. You will have a thought of where to go later. Our family will drive a carriage to see you off."

Miao Jin has lived here for a year! She was forced at first, but after living there for a long time, she suddenly felt very sad. This confinement place seemed to be isolated from the world, and she didn't know what nostalgia was, perhaps because the world outside had changed, which made her feel very strange.

She first changed into a Taoist robe, packed up a few clothes casually, brushed her fingertips over the books on the desk, and sighed softly. Suddenly, she thought of the embarrassment that she was bumped into by Zhu Gaoxu when she was reading a dirty book before, and her face was still hot.

With a very strange state of mind, Miaojin walked up the ladder and opened the door of the custard room. Suddenly, the sun shone brightly. She reached out to cover her eyebrows and looked at the scenery that had been gone for a long time.

Miao Jin stood at the door for a while, thinking about her at a loss, she couldn't help but look back at the entrance of the cellar. At this moment, she actually felt that it was nothing wrong to hide inside.

But she knew very well that she could not stay in it for the rest of her life. So after thinking about it, she asked Wang Gui to drive the car and take her to Chi Yueguan first.

Although they haven't appeared for a year, all the female Taoist priests in Chi Yueguan are still there. Some of these Taoist priests are maids in the Jing Mansion, and some are homeless. Even if they are asked to leave, they don't know where they can go.

Miao Jin stayed in Chi Yueguan for a few days, trying to find a traitor who had contacted the news to inquire about the situation of the Jing Mansion, but no one was found. Jianwen's court fell, and even the traitors ran away.

At this time, people from the Yan Palace came to Chi Yueguan to ask, and Miaojin had to go to the Yan Palace to meet Princess Xu.

Walking through the stone path, Miao Jin couldn't help but turn to look for the trunk that looked like a slingshot fork. New green buds appeared on the treetops. This was the second time she had seen the same scenery in her memory. She remembered what she said on this road, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: she walked slowly but passed quickly.

After entering the yard where the princess lives, when Miao Jin met Princess Xu, she saw that the prince's concubine was also in the room.

Princess Xu looked up and down at Miaojin, and the princess spoke first, asking in surprise: "Where has my aunt been there? I have been no news for half a year. Mother always thinks of you."

"Last year, I met my master Zhang Zhenren outside Chiyue Temple Gate, so I followed Zhang Zhenren to Zhongnan Mountain and lived in a Taoist temple on the mountain for a while." Miao Jin said indifferently, "Zhang Zhenren will come occasionally to teach me the method of inner alchemy, which can be effective in strengthening the body. If the princess is interested, I will teach the princess how to breathe."

"Oh! That's a magic spell!" Zhang turned to Princess Xu and smiled, "A mother's mother will definitely live a hundred years of life after learning it."

Princess Xu shook her head and said, "I know nothing about Taoism, how can I learn it? However, it is indeed a magical thing for Zhenren Zhang to appear in the world."

Zhang smiled, but there seemed to be suspicion in her eyes. She said in a casual tone, "Which Taoist temple does my aunt live in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Miao Jin's face remained unchanged and said, "No name."

Princess Xu said, "It's good to come back. Not long ago, Emperor Jianwen was deceived by treacherous ministers and burned himself in Fengtian Hall of the imperial city and collapsed. The Ming Dynasty could not have no king for a day, and the ministers persuaded him to support the prince ascend the throne." She looked at Miao Jin quietly and said, "Judge Jing has nothing to do, don't worry, sister."

When Miao Jin heard this, her heart was ups and downs, but instead became more and more worried. However, she pretended to practice Taoism for several years, and her mood had been experienced a lot, and she was still calm on the surface. "I am already a monk and can't control too many worldly affairs."

At this moment, Zhang whispered: "The second uncle is finally going to marry. Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, was a matchmaker, talking about the granddaughter of Wuding Hou. The father and mother were both satisfied. This happy event should be almost done."

"King Gaoyang?" Miao Jin asked blurted.

Zhang nodded, her single eyelid eyes were very concentrated, and she stared at Miaojin's face with a smile, making Miaojin feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly when she mentioned the marriage of Gaoyang, Miaojin was really lost for a moment. In an instant, she felt ache in her heart, and then she felt sour and sad... But then she thought, Gaoyang was almost twenty years old and was a royal family again. She should have married a wife for a long time. What was she surprised about?

Miao Jin silently thought that this was a matter of course, so she still said calmly, "It's natural. The princess finally felt relieved."

Princess Xu was very happy, "The little girl from the Guo family is Guo Wei. Her mother is from the Xu family. She has good writing skills and sent me a letter. From the letter, the Guo family is worthy of being a marquis and is very polite." The princess turned her head and looked at Zhang, "Focus on, Mrs. Xu is my cousin or an elder."

Zhang smiled and said, "Their seniority is always the same as their husbands, it doesn't matter, they will be in-laws in the future."

"It's reasonable." Princess Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Princess Xu was happy, Miao Jin also smiled. She had a smile on her face, but she was holding back an inexplicable sorrow in her heart.
