The mourning period of Emperor Daxing takes twenty-seven days.

Therefore, civil and military officials and imperial edicts should still go to the palace to worship as usual.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, and the third assistant of Xie Qian, naturally changed to mourning clothes and came to the Daxing Emperor's Codon early the next morning.

At this time, the little Neihuan who was sweeping in the morning immediately beat Qian'er when Liu Jian and others passed by: "I have seen several cabinet masters."

Liu Jian threw a piece of silver over and said, "What did Your Majesty do last night?"

"When I go back to the Pavilion Master, Liu Jin found ten beauties to accompany the Pavilion Master on the grounds that the emperor was too sad and needed to relieve his boredom. The West Warehouse where the emperor was sleeping was brightly lit last night, and it was bright all night, and the dance was dancing all night," the inner official replied.

After hearing this, Xie Qian, the Sanfu, couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "This new Majesty is smart. He will cry in front of others, and the people will still not be able to control himself. In addition, some eunuchs lure him from the side, and he will undoubtedly be a fool in the future!"

"If there were no tyrant kings, how could there be wise ministers? If Emperor Duruo Daxing was like this, and finally proposed to collect some commercial taxes and wanted to change us, wouldn't we have to do the change of dynasty again?"

Li Dongyang smiled and said.

"Hmph! How to govern the world when a young man ascended the throne. Fortunately, the Silijian is now home with the old and polite Wang Yue. With us in the cabinet, he can't make trouble. The eight tigers around him can play with him, but he has to tell Wang Yue not to let these eight tigers take his position in the inner court."

Liu Jian said again, "After the new emperor ascended the throne, he will definitely choose the queen. Since Your Majesty likes beauty, he will choose some stunning ones for him at that time, which will also be beneficial to the royal heir."

"What the Chief Minister said is very true. If you want to say that His Majesty is not worried, he is just lazy. As long as the Sili Superintendent and the Cabinet are in our hands, he naturally cannot do what. But the key point is that Ma Wensheng, a party member, is really too stupid and loyal, especially Ma Wensheng, who insists on carefully investigating the cause of the death of Emperor Daxing. Isn't this intentional crime for us?"

Li Dongyang said.

"This old man! The thief who wants to enter the cabinet is undead! If he is not Hanlin, what qualifications are he a vulgar person?"

Liu Jian couldn't help but get angry when he thought that Ma Wensheng stole the limelight yesterday and defeated his good things.

Xie Qian also said from the side: "I want me to say that these clear and turbidity cannot be listed in the court. He is now aged by Ma Wensheng, and he should have retired from the emperor and the ministers."

At this time, Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, followed: "Don't worry, the ministers, have contacted the censor of the Censorate. After the emperor ascended the throne, he will study his book on the grounds that he is old but still in love with power. He, Ma Wensheng, has always cherished his reputation, and he will definitely take the initiative to retire at that time!"

“So great!”

Liu Jian smiled and said something and went up to the jade stairs first.

...

When Zhu Houzhao saw this scene, she couldn't help but smiled faintly, put down the curtains, put on someone to his mourning clothes, and then came to the main hall of the Daxing Emperor's coffin and knelt down, holding a nine-serial chain in her hand to fiddle with it. After all, only in this way can he appear to be a playful young emperor.

After Liu Jian and others came in, they burst into tears again. Zhu Houzhao didn't know if they had peppers on their faces, so they started to cry without any preparation.

After seeing this, Ma Wensheng and others came in, they only knelt on the side of the way. When they saw Zhu Houzhao, they became a little sad and depressed: "Although your Majesty is kind and filial, he is really too playful and distracted. The late emperor, you shouldn't have left so early!"

Every day afterwards, Zhu Houzhao was mourning Emperor Hongzhi according to the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Jian and others would come to cry regularly and then go back to the Wenhua Palace cabinet to do business. Ma Wensheng and others would be disappointed when they saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance was not wise.

Zhu Houzhao also took advantage of these days to record all the modern knowledge he could remember. Naturally, he had to make money by relying on this, otherwise even if he was the crown prince, he would not get money. If he wanted to control the power of the court, he had to have money and military power. Money was the premise of having military power, and earning money was the most important thing for him now.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao felt that he could not live in the Ganqing Palace for the time being. He didn't know how many officials in the Ganqing Palace were the eyeliners of the cabinet civil officials. Staying here was like staying under their noses, and he couldn't make money even if he stayed in the palace.

Therefore, he felt that he had to find an opportunity to escape from the Forbidden City. Only by escaping from the Forbidden City could he be a free emperor, rather than a puppet emperor who was watched.

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao's own personality is now a playful and ignorant young emperor, and he is even afraid that he has been regarded as a foolish monarch, so it is not surprising that he is a rebellious thing to move to a villa outside the palace to live in.

The 27th-day Emperor's mourning period ended soon.

Immediately afterwards, all the civil and military officials and the elderly asked Zhu Houzhao to ascend the throne and become emperor.

These are all examples.

Please.

Zhu Houzhao refused.

Second, please.

Zhu Houzhao refused again.

After the third request, Zhu Houzhao ordered the Ministry of Rites to ascend the throne with the crown prince's order, and then prepared to announce the world, and change the reign of Zhengde next year.

During this period, at the strong request of a group of officials including Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Yu, the Chief of the Ministry of Personnel, was in charge of the affairs of the Tai Hospital, the Chief of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Wentai, the imperial physician Gao Ting and these people were still in the Jinyiwei Prison due to the death of Emperor Hongzhi.

But soon, after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he had a grace to forgive the world when he ascended the throne. Therefore, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others strongly demanded that the death penalty of these people be pardoned and changed it to guard the border.

Zhu Houzhao kept watching the struggle between Liu Jian's party and Ma Wensheng's party on the death of Emperor Hongzhi. He listened to both Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian's part, which made many internal and external ministers think that Zhu Houzhao was indeed a young emperor without any opinion.

All officials became more fearless, and corruption naturally began to become more serious.

Of course, many civil officials blame Zhu Houzhao for this phenomenon, saying that Zhu Houzhao abandoned the government and fought with cocks and horses, which led to this phenomenon.

But in fact, Zhu Houzhao has been honestly playing the role of a "puppet emperor" according to the arrangements of civil servants.

As for Bahu's behavior, it did not attract many people's attention, and Zhu Houzhao was not worried that their actions would fail. He believed that since these eight people could appear on the stage of history in later generations and defeat the civil servant group, it would be impossible for them to not be able to complete these tasks.

"Emperor, the leopard house has almost been built. See when will it be moved there?" One day, Luo Xiang found Zhu Houzhao and said.

"I'll move tomorrow. I'll tell my mother today. You'll announce it to the public now, saying that the emperor feels tired of living in the palace and wants to live in the leopard room for a while and see the tiger and lion! Then find all the beauties in the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao said that, then picked up a box of drawings and handed them to Luo Xiang.

The next morning, Zhu Houzhao took her mother Zhang to the leopard house on the grounds of escaping the summer heat.

...

When the cabinet chief Liu Jian heard this, he was furious and even called Zhu Houzhao's name directly: "What exactly is Zhu Houzhao doing? If you want to leave the palace, you will leave the palace. Does he still think he is the crown prince!"

"The chief minister calms down. It's fun when our new emperor becomes the crown prince. This is understandable, but it's true that we can't control him after leaving the palace. No matter what, we have to let him return to the palace! When the censor immediately submits a memorial and advice."

Li Dongyang calmed Liu Jian's emotions and said, "There are things going to happen now. The day after tomorrow will be the dynasty. Liu Daxia has found the censor. At that time, he will impeach Ma Wensheng in front of the ministers. As long as Ma Wensheng is forced back to his hometown, we have the final say in this court. It is only a matter of easy to let the emperor return to the palace."

"What the assistant said is very much. Didn't he claim to be loyal to the Emperor Daxing? Then let him see the virtues of the current emperor. When Ma Wensheng was disappointed, he would not believe that he was still in the court," Xie Qian said with a smile.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both laughed after hearing this, and Liu Jian even suggested: "We will send this veteran of the four dynasties to you, after all, we have worked together for so long."
