Chapter 4 Moving the Palace
Zhu Youxiao looked at the eunuch kneeling in front of him, with an angry face and stared at him fiercely. After a while, he said, "You tell me what you just said again, I didn't hear it clearly just now."
When the eunuch heard this, he was so scared that he shivered and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma Li said that the emperor is still young and does not understand national affairs. The ministers must first read the memorials given by Grandma Li first, and the emperor will read them by himself after Grandma Li classified them."
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he felt furious and shouted, "You damn slave, you really rely on your power. Even you are not afraid of me. If Xi Li can chop your head, can't I chop your head?"
Since Wang An robbed Zhu Youxiao out of the palace, he has been following Zhu Youxiao. Seeing this situation, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "The emperor is the master of the Ming Dynasty. Get back and tell Xi Li. The emperor is the emperor, and handling state affairs is the duty, so she doesn't have to worry about it."
"I'm going to leave." When the eunuch heard this, he kowtowed and bowed down and thought, if the emperor got angry and he might not be able to cut off his head, he would be a big loss. It's not easy to be a eunuch these days. I know that the emperor can't mess with him, but if he doesn't come here, he won't be able to smash his butt when Grandma Li doesn't want to be a eunuch. He won't be able to be a eunuch in the next life. This is the life of a person.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the empty hall and couldn't help but sigh, saying to Wang An next to him: "Eunuch Wang, you said yesterday that Xi Li was just asking for a title. Now it seems that she is going to steal my throne. I can't understand. My Ming Dynasty has very strict management of the inner court, and those who interfere in politics in the harem are all given deaths. Why is it suddenly so rampant this time?"
Wang An looked at the emperor, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty has something to do. The Western Li relied on the favor of the emperor and became charming. When the emperor's biological mother Wang Cairen was alive, he was bullied by the Western Li many times. When the emperor's biological mother Wang Cairen died, he left a sentence: "I am in this situation, and it is all the Western Li who is forced to harm each other." The Western Li Palace is very powerful, and no one is allowed to tell the emperor that the palace maids in the emperor's biological mother's palace had died strangely, but the Emperor did not care about this. Since the Emperor's collapse and the Emperor ascended the throne, the Western Li was afraid that the Emperor would punish him for this, so he tried every means to make things difficult for the Emperor."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's anger that had been slightly calmed came up again and said fiercely: "In the past, Xi Li treated me very harshly. I missed my father's old friendship. Yesterday I wanted to satisfy him. Now it seems that it is my enemy who killed my mother, so I will definitely forgive her."
At this time, it was said that the ministers outside the palace were heading to Qianqing Palace to guard the spirits of the late emperor. It turned out that when these ministers saw that Xi Li wanted to hold Zhu Youxiao hostage, they decided that when the emperor went to Qianqing Palace to guard the spirits of the late emperor, they would have to wait for the ministers to come to Qi and then go together, so as not to take Xi Li hostage again. When Zhu Youxiao saw that the ministers were waiting outside the palace gate, he went out to set off with the ministers.
When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, everyone came in one after another and bowed in turn. After the ceremony, the minister Zuo Guangdou suddenly said that there was a memorial to submit a memorial.
Although Zhu Youxiao was naughty, as a prince, these ministers of life were still aware of it. They knew that Zuo Guangdou was an official valued by his father. Yang Lian was even more powerful. Although his official position was only a junior in engineering and a seventh rank, he was decisive and upright, and highly valued by his father. He was a seventh rank official. He was the most active when he fled to the palace that day. He must have something important to report this time, and it must be beneficial to him.
Then he said, "Shift it."
Xi Li was also present at this time. Although Xi Li made things difficult for Zhu Youxiao, he knew that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, was also determined, and did not dare to be too rude in front of the ministers.
The ministers knew that Zhu Youxiao had never read and could not read, so they said, "Your Majesty, let Lord Zuo read it."
When Zhu Youxiao thought that half of himself was still illiterate now, and half of himself was left. Although he had a lot of knowledge, he probably was less than that of the illiterate when he looked at these brush and traditional Chinese characters. He responded to the minister's opinion.
Zuo Guangdou took a step forward, stared at Xili hard, and began to recite:
"Li Xuanshi is not the eldest son and the biological mother of the emperor, so he cannot live in the main palace. Today, he ordered the eldest son to live in Ciqing Palace and not be able to guard the coffin of the late emperor, and to perform great rituals. He ignored the feelings and was disagreeable. Li Xuanshi must quickly move out of the Ganqing official. The inner court has Ganqing official, but the outer court has Huangji Palace. Only the emperor can control the heavens and can live together, and only the empress can match the heavens and live together. Although the other concubines have entered the imperial court, they will encounter great reasons. Since he should be moved to another hall, not only to avoid suspicion, but also to distinguish between high and low. Now the ancestor of the emperor has ascended to heaven and has chosen his servants to be not his mother and biological mother. He is like a residence in the main palace, and His Highness is in Ciqing, and his status is reversed. He is really confused and worried. Moreover, His Highness is sixteen years old in the Spring and Autumn Period, relying on loyalty and uprightness within, and supporting Dukes and Ministers outside! Why worry about lack of people, how can he get breastfeeding? If he did not make a decision early and practice autocracy in the name of raising a child, the disaster of Empress Wu will be here today."
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately became happy and thought to himself, you poisonous woman, see how I will kill you today, and then, Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian are good, I am still worried about how to deal with Xi Li. Their memorial is just right for me. This kind of minister must make good use of the emperor in the future, but I don’t know how to do it? Not to be a destructive maniac, he only knows impeachment memorial every day, and does not know how to manage the minister who builds the country. That would be of no use.
When Zhu Youxiao was thinking about this, Xi Li next to him was almost fainted. Although Xi Li had a bad character and often made things difficult for Zhu Youxiao, she held the eldest son of the emperor after Emperor Guangzong of Ming Dynasty. Her original intention was nothing more than to "respect yourself", not to "release the autocracy" and "rule behind the curtain". The reason why Xi Li did that was because the title of the queen was not achieved, and even the title of Emperor Guiji was not obtained, which made the moon in the water empty.
"Should the spring breeze outside the Lotus Gate, and always strive for favor and kindness in my dream. I count the pine and cypress years in the garden, and my white heads are close to the Luan Palace." She knew very well that only by fighting hard and threatening Zhu Youxiao to at least sign her as the imperial concubine can we avoid moving to the Luan Palace to live the lonely, tasteless, and miserable old age.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao was so angry that Hua Rong was disgraceful when he saw Xi Li. He was very proud of himself, so he said, "Zuo Aiqing, Yang Aiqing is so serious. Grandma Li has been with the Emperor for many years and has been loyal and has not made any inappropriate moves. Now that the Emperor has passed away, how can he let go of autocracy and rule the country from behind the curtain?"
After saying that, he glanced around and saw that Xi Li's face slowed down, and the ministers were generally divided into two types: joy and anger. I thought to myself that those angry must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Remember the face and use it in the future. Those happy ones must be paid attention to, and 80% of them are related to Xi Li. These are probably related to the Xi Li. It is probably because of nepotism and no one will be left in the future. Being an emperor is really difficult. Every minister is very righteous in normal times. It must be this time to try out the depth. The remaining few who are not as happy as an anger, needless to say, are they all old foxes. These must be evergreen trees in the officialdom. If they force over there, the first ones will be eliminated. Isn't they just speculators? It's more hateful than those who rely on nepotism.
So he continued, "But all the officials have this view that the family rules of the ancestors should not be abolished. I also asked Grandma Li to move to Luan Palace. To protect the family rules of the ancestors, I saw that Grandma Li was a little tired these days, so I would be lenient for three days. I moved out of the Ganqing Palace before noon on the fifth day of the September 20th. Grandma Li, prepare early to avoid being too hasty."
At this time, Zhu Youxiao glanced around again, and saw that his happy face had just fallen down. His frown just now spread out. He thought, it was still very good to be an emperor. Just as I, a half-baked emperor, said something, the faces of the people in the big room were the same as the palette. If you ascend the throne in the future, you would be very happy.
Zhu Youxiao has seen some big scenes in the past few days, and his political experience has increased significantly, from 1 yesterday to 60. I know that Grandma Li has a complicated power in the palace and has contacts outside the palace. Although I wish I could pull her down and cut her, I still had to be polite to her. I glanced at the ministers again. As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, the ministers below were already in chaos, and everyone was whispering to each other. It seemed that the opinions were very inconsistent!
As expected, after a while, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, stepped forward and said: "Emperor, as the emperor said just now, Li Xuanshi was very loyal to the former emperor, and he was nonsense to rule the government behind the curtain. He could not believe it. Since this matter was a random statement from outsiders, the matter of moving the palace should be discussed slowly after the emperor ascended the throne."
Fang Congzhe served as the chief minister of the cabinet since Shenzong. He was in charge of the government for 6 years. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he had contact with Concubine Zheng and during the reign of Emperor Guangzong, he was a sensible figure in the court. (In fact, in each dynasty, there were divisions between the outer court and the inner court. The outer court was the court, and the mother, concubine, confidant eunuchs, etc. of the active emperors in the inner court were difficult to be a high-ranking official in the outer court. Of course, the inner court also needed the support of the outer court, so this transaction was very ordinary in this ancient political system.) At this time, when the chief minister of the cabinet spoke, the small gongs and gongs immediately jumped out to agree to it, so suddenly, there was a lot of approval and agreed to the Chief Minister of the Fang.
Of course, politics is like this. After one side sings, the other side will be on the stage.
At this time, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Liu Yiyin retorted:
"According to the convention of this dynasty, Ren Sheng was the legitimate mother, moved to Ciqing Palace; Cisheng was the biological mother, moved to Cining Officer. Xi Li was nothing, so how could he not be slower? Please think deeply."
After saying this, a lot of ministers came out to agree with Liu Yiyin's words.
When Zhu Youxiao saw that the time was coming, the ministers had expressed their opinions. It was time for him to make his own decisions. This was the case in the Ming Dynasty. Imperial power was more important than heaven. The emperor did not say anything. Everyone could say any opinions. If the emperor made up his mind, everyone would have to follow his orders. He said again: "Okay, I know what all the ministers said. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we should put the family rules of our ancestors first. This is also the foundation of the founding of our country in the Ming Dynasty. I just said that we should follow our orders and follow our orders and not make any mistakes."
After Zhu Youxiao said that, he felt a secret feeling. He treated me as a hostage yesterday, and today I will send you to the cold palace to count the stars. The feng shui will change. I won’t let you die this time.
At this time, Fang Congzheyou ran out and said, "Emperor, all officials advised him to submit a letter and asked the emperor to ascend the throne as soon as possible."
Zhu Youxiao was happy again when he heard this. Finally, he was over. He still wanted to become emperor as soon as possible. If he didn't become emperor one day, it would be dangerous for one day. He immediately replied: "The late emperor has passed away. I am sad that I am sad. However, the throne of heaven is of great importance, so it is difficult to be vain. Besides, before the collapse of the late emperor, he asked me to be Yao and Shun, and I should live up to the expectations of the late emperor and ascend the throne as soon as possible."
At this time, Fang Congzhe replied: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a good day, and the sixth day of the ninth month is an auspicious day."
Zhu Youxiao replied: "It turns out that Fang Aiqing has chosen an auspicious day, and I will ascend the throne on the sixth day of the September 2018."
Zhu Youxiao heard that it would take three days to ascend the throne, and he was a little disappointed. Although everyone still regards himself as an emperor, he has not ascended the throne yet. In the palace, it is extremely dangerous. Maybe he can finish his life in just a few days. But these people like to engage in feudal superstitions, such a good day, and not marrying a wife, what other day should they choose to ascend the throne as soon as possible. It seems that if you become an emperor in the future, you will definitely break these superstitions.
Think about the people in the 21st century, no one believes in the sayings of ghosts and gods. Just the boy Chen Xing had seen monks beat up and stabbed people with a knife. Then he thought, when is it now, and what mess is going on, so hurry up and chat with these ministers and contact each other. The ancients had the richest feelings. If they had the kindness of knowing him, he could go up to the mountains of swords and fires to you. Unfortunately, there is no TV here, so it would be best if they could make a TV speech.
After thinking about it, he said, "My ministers, the last emperor ordered you to assist me. I just believe in the talents of the ministers and my vision, so you don't have to worry. You are loyal to me and I will reward you."
Zhu Youxiao's words are knowledgeable. This is the policy of the Communist Party during the liberation period. Uniform can be united and fight against those who are stubborn. We must strive for the centrists.
After saying that, he drove back to Ciqing Palace under the escort of the minister. When he returned to the palace, he asked Wang An to send someone to call the eunuchs from various departments in the palace to Ciqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the crowded people kneeling down below and was shocked. Wang An was shocked when he saw Zhu Youxiao and knew that he did not understand the eunuch organization of the Ming Dynasty, so he introduced it to Zhu Youxiao:
"There are twenty-four yamen in the palace, namely the twelve yamen, the four yamen, and the eighth bureau. The twelve yamen are the yi yamen, the internal official yamen, the imperial yamen, the imperial horse yamen, the department set up the yangbao yamen, the shen palace yamen, the Shangshen yamen, the Shangyi yamen, the seal yamen, the seal yamen, the direct palace yamen, and the chief yamen. The four yamen are the Xixin yamen, the Baochao yamen, the bell and drum yamen, and the humming yamen. The eighth bureau is the military bureau, the scarf and hat bureau, the needlework bureau, the inner weaving and dyeing bureau, the wine and vinegar and dough bureau, the Siyuan Bureau, the laundry bureau, and the silver bureau. In addition to the laundry bureau, each yamen has a royal city. Each yamen has a member of the seal eunuch, one member of the left and right junior supervisors, and one member of the sacrificial book; one member of the chief of each department, one member of the left and right deputy ministers; one member of the ambassador, one member of the left and right deputy envoys. The minister is the eunuch of the ritual supervisor. There are also..."
Zhu Youxiao heard that Wang An still wanted to talk and quickly stopped him. What are the good things about such messy things? Just talk about them briefly, so the introduction is so detailed.
So he said to these eunuchs: "When the late emperor was there, you were very loyal. Now that I am about to ascend the throne, I hope you can continue to share my worries. Also, you are old people in the palace, so I don't need to explain clearly what you should do and what you should not do. I know you are afraid that I will ask you to bring up old accounts. I have explained it clearly today. I don't want to pursue the past. If you can know your mistakes, I will correct them. I will not care about them. Do you understand."
The eunuchs below dared not understand, so they replied in unison: "Don't worry, my elders, I understand, I know what to do."
