Chapter 4 Enthronement Ceremony

After struggling for most of the night, the east was already filled with rays of light and a red sun was storming out.

"The sun rises and rises to the east and shines on the divine light. It is suspected that there is an immortal coming from the sea of ​​clouds. I am waiting for ordinary things to watch, and I wait for everything to be the cause."

Zhu Youjian stood on the high platform of the Ganqing Palace, looking at the east, and suddenly felt ashamed of showing off, so he recited an ancient poem in his memory.

This poem is accompanied by the scene just now. When the sun shines, it immediately sets up Zhu Youjian like the emperor descending to earth.

The eunuchs and palace maids around him knelt down and sang in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

As everyone chanted, Zhu Youjian stepped into the Ganqing Palace to welcome his great moment.

However, things didn't go as expected. Zhu Youjian, who was sitting in the side hall of the Ganqing Palace, not only did not usher in the highlight moment, but was a little dizzy by several officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Grandma, there are too many etiquettes for ascending the throne. Zhu Youjian listened carefully while secretly complaining in his heart.

"My dear friends, let's follow the old calendar of the previous dynasty. There is no need to report everything to me. Please wait and rest for a while."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand impatiently, and then the eunuchs beside him understood and drove the officials of the Ministry of Rites out.

After struggling for half a night last night, Zhu Youjian was sleepy at this time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm late to come and I'm guilty of death."

Zhu Youjian was a little sleepy, and he woke him up with a shout of excitement.

"Howling, howling, do you have a public morality? Don't disturb the people here because you are old. If you don't stop, I will call the police."

Zhu Youjian didn't open his eyes, so he cursed outside, then turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.

The apology outside the door then came to an abrupt end. Several important officials from the cabinet looked at each other, not knowing what His Majesty said meant.

But the sentence "Don't rely on your age" still touched their sensitive nerves. The officials over 50 years old were instantly scared to death.

Especially when Huang Liji and Shi Fenglai heard this, they glanced at each other's dizzy beards and immediately became arrogant and did not dare to show off.

Your Majesty is angry. The fire last night seemed to have shocked Your Majesty.

As the noise outside suddenly stopped, Zhu Youjian sat up with a sudden excitement.

It's broken. These are not the aunts dancing square dance downstairs of my home. These are all important officials in the cabinet.

Good, Zhu Youjian is a little bit waxed now.

But then I thought, my brother is now the emperor, so I just want to say anything. Wouldn't it be normal to scold someone?

"Come in."

Zhu Youjian corrected his clothes and then sat upright, waiting to watch the important officials perform.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Hulala, the ministers who knelt all over the ground in the room instantly shouted the most with the old age.

"Your Majesty, I will be a death sentence when I come to save you later. But seeing that Your Majesty is unscathed, this is a blessing for my Ming Dynasty and a blessing for the people."

Huang Liji took the lead in flattering Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty has been blessed without any damage, which is the true dragon emperor. It can be seen that your Majesty has been blessed by the emperors of all generations, and my Ming Dynasty should have help from heaven."

Shi Feng came to see Huang Liji stealing the first shot, so he quickly stepped forward to compliment, and as soon as he got up, he pulled the True Dragon Emperor up.

He said, are these the chief assistant and the secondary assistant of the Ming Dynasty? Why are one more shameless? This kind of naked flattery is not blushing at all, but my brother blushed when he heard it.

"Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor! I should be blessed by God in the Ming Dynasty!"

Well, now it’s not just the chief assistant and the secondary assistant that flatter, but the ministers have started to flatter.

"Forget it, forgot."

Zhu Youjian couldn't bear to listen anymore, and then waved his hand.

"How are you preparing for the throne ceremony?"

Today is my own big day. Zhu Youjian didn't have time to listen to them flattering here, so he asked.

"All ready."

Huang Liji stepped forward and replied.

"Okay, follow the route."

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, a figure rushed up again.

"Your Majesty, the Hongde Palace suddenly caught fire. Please investigate thoroughly."

Shi Feng came forward and knelt down and asked for the imperial edict.

It is estimated that these old guys all knew that the fire broke out in Hongde Palace was done by the eunuchs, but Shi Fenglai dared to make a public decision, so he must have made up his mind to abandon Wei Zhongxian and move closer to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian then glanced at the ministers, but saw the British Duke Zhang Weixian nodding with his head, and the Minister of War Choi Chengxiu looked nervous, and the other ministers nodded and said no.

Looking at these important officials with different ulterior motives, Zhu Youjian was a little discouraged.

Grandma, the team that Zhu Youxiao left for himself is really bad.

Zhu Youjian knew that it was Wei Zhongxian's fire, but he didn't want to go into it on the day of ascending the throne, so he waved his hand to Shi Fenglai and signaled him to retreat.

"Let's put aside the matter of leaving the water for now. All the ministers should do their best to help me revive the Ming Dynasty."

Shi Fenglai wanted to say something else, but seeing that Zhu Youjian didn't want to investigate the matter in depth, he had no choice but to step down.

Shi Fenglai, who returned to the court, began to feel uneasy. Could it be that His Majesty did not want to punish the eunuch party? Then this time he had big eyes on his speculation.

So he took a sneak peek at Cui Chengxiu again, but saw that the guy was looking at him with a little smugness, while Huang Liji had a strong sense of watching him lively.

Shi Fenglai made a fuss and glared at Cui Chengxiu.

Since you have turned against each other, you can simply go to the new emperor openly.

Zhu Youjian sat on the stage and saw all this. It seemed that the move of Eternal Life in the fire still shocked many people. At least the prime minister and the secondary assistant were moving closer to him.

This is a good phenomenon, which shows that you are gradually taking the initiative.

In fact, killing Wei Zhongxian alone was not a difficult task for Zhu Youjian at this time, after all, the pistol was still on his waist.

However, how to take over the power of the eunuch party without being picked by the Donglin party requires him to carefully consider.

Moreover, the eunuch party is not useless, and the Donglin party is not a gentleman. Both parties want to drink the blood of the Ming Dynasty, or even the blood of the emperor.

To clarify the road to clear the administration of officials and clear politics, there is a long way to go.

After suppressing the fire in Hongde Palace, Zhu Youjian, surrounded by court officials, began the process of the new emperor ascending the throne.

Zhu Youjian first appointed officials from the Ministry of Rites to go to the Temple of Heaven and Earth to pay homage to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, while he himself prayed in front of Zhu Youjiao's tomb.

After the prayer was finished, Zhu Youjian changed into a full set of robe and crown, and climbed to Fengtianmen to continue praying.

At this time, all the officials entered the palace wearing court robes and knelt in the square outside the Meridian Gate to wait for entering the hall to pay homage to the new emperor.

After Zhu Youjian finished praying, he went to the dragon chaise of Fengtian Hall to sit down. Only then did the officials stand up and start to enter the hall to worship five bows and three bows, and submit edicts.

The Han general of the Jinyiwei shouted a whip, and Zhu Youjian put a jade seal on the edict.

Then all the officials withdrew from Fengtian Hall and came outside Chengtian Gate to wait for the ceremony of Jinfeng's edict.

The edict that covered the jade seal was delivered to the proclamation platform of Fengtianmen on a dragon chariot, and the proclamation officer began to read the imperial edict.

"Our country is a saint, Zhang Chengxiu, and has transformed into a beautiful and beautiful place..."

"I am a great emperor, Ren Du Han Tian, ​​Ying Mo Xian Gu... Hu Bin Long Yu."

"I have been so proud of my order, and I have been chanting, listening to the words of a few, and I am so impressed by the importance of the ancestors."

"The civil and military ministers, military and civilians and elders jointly persuaded them to advance. As for the repeated refusal, they refused to obtain it. They followed the will and reported to the heaven and earth on August 24th to ascend the throne..."

After reading the imperial edict, the imperial edict was placed in the mouth of a wooden gold lacquer phoenix, and then slowly lowered it from Chengtian Gate.
