Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 87: Zhengde issued an edict
Yang Ling rushed to the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the courtiers around the emperor had all changed into white clothes.
Seeing Yang Ling coming, Zhang Yong hurriedly greeted him. The board of Emperor Hongzhi's court rod hit them, but it was real. It took these people for half a month before they dared to walk on the ground. Now they really haven't seen Yang Ling.
Today Hongzhi Emperor took the medicine given by the imperial doctor and suddenly had a long nosebleed. After exhausting all the methods, he couldn’t stop it. The blood drenched more than a dozen towels. It didn’t take long for him to pass away suddenly. Zhu Houzhao fell on the body and wept bitterly. If anyone persuaded, they wouldn't listen. Several close attendants such as Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were in a hurry.
The queen finally spoke in tears, but the prince still refused to listen, and insisted on not allowing anyone to move to the emperor’s body. The **** of Huntangsi was waiting outside the palace to dress the emperor, but he did not dare to go against it. Prince, the big guys are frozen there.
At this time, I saw Yang Ling, Zhang Yong saw a savior, and hurriedly picked up a mourning suit to greet him. Yang Ling was wearing it and listening to Zhang Yong worryingly: "Master Yang, your majesty has been crying for a long while, and the servants are not allowed to move the emperor’s Body, I waited in a hurry, but couldn't think of a decent word to comfort the prince, you go and have a look."
Yang Ling **** the filial piety belt, handed the sword to the guard next to the palace gate, and quickly walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion. Zhu Houzhao knelt in front of the couch, still weeping silently. Empress Zhang, Yongfu, and Yongchun are all dressed in plain clothes, like three pear flowers with rain, standing behind him.
Yang Ling saw the queen and the two princesses, and was about to bow down quickly, Queen Zhang hurriedly waved her hand, then winked at him, then turned to look at the prince, sighed faintly, and pulled the two princesses out of the bedroom.
Yang Ling saw the queen and the princess leave, and quietly walked to Zhu Houzhao and knelt down next to him. Zhu Houzhao was still holding Hongji's cold palm idiotically, just sobbing silently without looking at the person next to him.
Yang Ling whispered a few words of comfort, Zhu Houzhao still didn't say a word, Yang Ling saw him in a trance, turning a blind eye to others, thinking that he would be less aggressive. This little prince is young, and he can’t listen to any changes in sorrow. Why not cheer him up, Yang Ling thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, do you remember what the emperor said in the story that the minister told you? A generation of emperors is like sunrise and sunset. One day, the sun will follow. It sinks with the passing of an emperor, but it will rise with the new emperor. The departed emperor turns into a star in the sky, watching his chosen heir in the sky, to see if he will live up to his trust."
"His Royal Highness, the emperor is a rare benevolent monarch, Mingjun, you are the only son of the emperor. You will soon become the emperor of Great Ming and become the new sun. Will you have the high hopes of your majesty?"
Zhu Houzhao moved when he heard his expression. He sniffed and squeezed Hongji's hand. With an oath-like expression on his childish face, he said: "I will never live up to my father's expectations. I will be like a father. Like the emperor, become a wise gentleman, a promising emperor."
Yang Ling said: "The minister believes that every dynasty, every prince, when he ascends the throne and sits on the dragon chair, he will think so, and will want to be a good emperor from the heart, but they have some If they do, some have become mediocre kings, even stunned kings and kings of subjugation."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned his head and glared at him angrily: "Do you doubt me? You say I can't do it?"
Yang Ling calmly said: "The minister believes that the words of His Royal Highness come from the heart. Believe that the prince is not a whim, but it is not enough to have this kind of ambition. Ming Jun did not say it, but made it. The people in the world are in one. After the funeral of the benevolent lord, he is all eagerly watching the new emperor’s deeds. If he only cries here, can he become a Mingjun?"
Zhu Houzhao heard that his face turned blue and red, red and blue. He was still young, so he couldn't stand the stimulus of Yang Ling. After a while, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Come here, change your clothes for your father." .
Yang Ling's lips couldn't help but a hint of imperceptible smile appeared.
The internal officials set up a mourning hall and arranged the palace. The mixed hall secretary provided Hongzhi Emperor cleansing clothes. The towel and hat bureau, the needle industry bureau, and the inner weaving and dyeing bureau prepared mourning clothes for the princes and the officials of the various ministries.
wore a white shirt outside the armor of the Shenjiying soldiers guarding the palace gate, and even the fire guns in his hands were wrapped in a layer of white silk. When everything in the palace was set up, the night mist was like gauze, everywhere in the palace. Lanterns hung high above the white paper, and the whole palace is filled with gloomy clouds.
The mourning hall is located in the main hall of Palace of Heavenly Purity. The hall is full of white curtains and cigarettes. It is very solemn and solemn, and the middle is high with a tablet of Hongzhi Emperor. As early as when the emperor was critically ill, the Ministry of Ritual had formulated various etiquette procedures for the new emperor's imperial emperor. These procedures are simple to say, that is, the service is first made, then the edict is issued, and then the grand ceremony is held, but there are all kinds of complicated rituals. There are so many varieties, so people are dazzled.
Yang Ling doesn’t know anything about the funeral rituals in the palace, but he doesn’t have to worry about losing his dignity. Although he is favored in front of the old and new emperors, he hasn’t even touched the side of the government yet. Qualified to enter the temple to cry spirits and salute, only need to control the guards outside the temple and maintain the palace ban.
The officials in charge of the various ministries and churches stepped into the Palace of Heavenly Purity miserably, and even many Gonghou Xunqing who rarely stepped into the palace gates appeared at this time. Standing under the palace, Yang Ling saw six Jiuqing and three scholars coming out of the palace and looking into the distance. Two rows of eunuchs walked around Yicheng's shoulders, and someone said loudly: "The Emperor" The Prince is here~!"
More than ten senior officials on the order rushed down the steps to pull up their robe and knelt down, Liu Jian said with weeping: "Please enter the palace as a gift!"
Zhu Houzhao doesn’t understand these many rules. The two chief eunuchs Wang Yue and Zhang Shouyi held him from left and right, whispering in his ear from time to time, how to move, how to salute, how to say, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao looks In a trance, all the usual naughty energy is gone, just follow them one by one like a puppet.
Yang Ling After they all entered the hall, they stood up. After a while, Han Lin walked up to Yang Ling and sighed: "The grown-ups are crying and blessed, so you can’t enter the palace. The officials of the gate gathered outside the Meridian Gate and wept bitterly. Don't make trouble at this time, the general should go and inspect."
Han Lin relied on martial arts and outstanding performance in martial arts has been promoted to the general, he is very abiding by the rules, although privately called Yang Ling as Ling'er, but in business affairs must meet under the identity of the subordinate, never go beyond, Yang Ling persuaded a few Back, Han Lin insisted on not complying, he also let his father-in-law.
Today, Hongzhi Emperor is small, and all the officials are crying and guarding. Yang Ling is afraid of something wrong, so it adjusts the most trusted Han family and Yang Yiqing and Liu Biao, each with a hundred armed soldiers, surrounded Palace of Heavenly Purity. Keep it impenetrable. Hearing the reminder from his father-in-law, Yang Ling nodded and whispered: "Here is Father Lao, Ling'er will go to Sicheng for a walk."
In Palace of Heavenly Purity, the ceremonial officer of Hongtong Temple went out to sing, three ministers of Tuogu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, put Zhu Houzhao on the yellow silk dragon chair. The sound of "long live, long live, long live my emperor" shook the roof tiles.
Yang Ling left Palace of Heavenly Purity in the voice of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Under the guidance of two guards holding lanterns, they patrolled the palace. I don’t know if the emperor’s edict was read out in the hall, and the new emperor was asked to make a decree. The old rules and etiquette, which are always the same, will actually go wrong today. He hasn't reached the door of Wumen yet. Palace of Heavenly Purity is already roaring like a vegetable market.
Hongzhi had already made arrangements for what was going on when he was conscious of his physical difficulties. At this time, the **** Wang Yue, the **** Wang Yue, gave tears to the edict of Hongzhi Emperor. The first assistant university scholar Liu Jian issued an edict to the emperor and promulgated the new emperor. Ascended to the throne, and then announced that the new emperor will amnesty the world and reward those who have contributed.
This was originally arranged. The so-called new emperor’s decree, which prince would dare to start studying the next leadership issue before the death of the emperor? After all, it was the old emperor's pre-determined idea. From ancient times, the crown prince has been in this way.
Liu Jian only knows that today's prince is relatively stubborn, how can I expect that this man is the reincarnation of the ancestor of free fist creation, and he does not follow the routine at all. The veteran wiped away his tears, first announced the first emperor's will, and set the next year as the first year of Zhengde, and then led the civil and military officials to kneel and kowtow to meet the new emperor.
Then he launched another imperial decree to amnesty the world in the name of the new emperor: all prisoners who are not awaiting death or awaiting trial are pardoned and released from prison, the edict is to abolish the taxes owed by the farmers for more than three years, and the edict is to exempt the fishermen from paying. Fish oil, fish oil, swim bladder, etc. more than three years...
After the announcement of the new emperor’s decree of benevolence and forgiveness, the third decree of the new emperor to seal the harem and reward supporters was awarded: Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were named Taishi, Tai Fu, Shang Guozhu, Empress Dowager Ji’s promotion to Queen Mother, Empress Zhang’s promotion to Queen Mother, Tai Ji Wang’s family as Tai Huang Sheng concubine, Golden Concubine and Dai Concubine as Toffee, Ma Fei Chang Fei, etc. Princess......
Whenever the new emperor ascends to the throne, veterans will receive this treatment, and the ministers are accustomed to it. Anyway, although these posts are glorious, they are all vacant posts with money and no power, and will not have any impact on the current power distribution of the court. Therefore, the hundreds of civil and military officials just listened respectfully, and no one said anything. The number one hundred and ten in the hall was actually silent.
, but inspired by Yang Ling, the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who has a heart and mind to perform well, although it is only three minutes of enthusiasm, these three minutes have not passed. He stunned his ears and listened very seriously. When he thought about it, since the imperial decree was under his name, he should listen carefully.
When he heard that Hou Shou Ning and Hou Jianchang each gave thousands of hectares to the imperial land and granted Shuang Lu, he immediately jumped off the dragon chair and shouted angrily: "Liu is a scholar and stay here, Shou Ning, The two marquis of Jianchang are already high enough, so there is no need to reward them!"
Shou Ning and Jianchang, the two masters kneeling down and listening to Zhengde’s words, their faces were blue and white, fear, shame, and anger, all expressions like opening a dye shop, so publicly depressed Purpose, it's really shameful, how will the two meet people in the future? This little emperor really spares no room for work.
Liu University scholar is also stupid holding the imperial decree. This scholar has served the emperor for several generations. He has never heard of the new emperor repenting on the spot when he came to the throne to withdraw other people’s decree. Huh? It's just like a child's play, but also a big disrespect to Hongzhi Emperor. If not, the new emperor first verbally said that he would refuse to resign as a scholar. What is the face of the emperor?
Li Dongyang saw him stunned there, and hurriedly knelt forward and said: "The two masters of Shouning and Jianchang are the current uncles of the country and close relatives of the emperor. The emperor is generous and indifferent, willing to set an example. Today is a big day. Now that the will has been made, it is quite inappropriate to withdraw again. In the opinion of the ministers, the two masters of the Hou Dynasty turned around and asked for resignation."
The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling hated them in their hearts. They were stunned by the new emperor. They had to take the initiative to resign their thanks. The emperor had a good reputation for being generous and strict. This Li Dongyang is so good at flattering. However, the situation is better than others, and the two brothers have no choice but to respond repeatedly.
Zhengde admires and loves his father Hongji the most. Seeing that the two uncles are not sad by the dying father and the emperor, they also play with the emperor crown, the feeling that the other party betrayed and deceived his closest people, so He hated the two of them deeply, so he couldn't restrain himself from depriving them of their rewards in court.
Hearing Lee's arrangement, Zhengde felt that as long as it was cheaper, they didn't want to take it, and didn't care about anything else, so he nodded and agreed and sat back in the dragon chair. When the kneeling Baiguan saw the new emperor’s work out of this weirdness, his expression was amazed. Zhengde Emperor didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. There was nothing wrong with it. If you think it’s wrong, you can change it. A man with a swollen face and fat is called royal decent?
Liu Daxue saw this new emperor who had some amazing things sitting back in the dragon chair, and then he read it again with fear. The civil and military officials are all energetic this time, and they don’t know that the emperor Zhengde will take it again. Fortunately, the little emperor Zhengde heard the names read out, but he did not object any more.
Liu Jian finished reading the imperial decree, and secretly raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He just exhaled, and Emperor Zhengde spoke again. He frowned his eyebrows and said in a strange way: "Mr. Liu, did you miss someone?" "
Liu Jian's heart chuckled, and this heart came up again. He quickly unfolded the imperial decree and scanned it in ten lines, then turned his head and asked the two eunuchs Wang Yue and Zhang Shou who were supervising the imperial decree. This was a relief: "Your Majesty Qizou, the minister has not missed anything."
Zhengde heard strangely. I remember my father said that Yang Ling can be his minister, and he said that the favor should be given by him. Why is this decree issued in his name without the name of Yang Ling?
Poor Hongzhi Emperor, if there is real spirit in the sky, I must regret that I did not indicate the specific time of each thing when I asked my son to do the funeral. Zhengde thought for a while and said: "No, one person is indeed missed. The former Donggong attendant and current Shenjiying attendant Yang Ling, young and promising, can be used as a pillar of talent, well...Since the intention is missed , Then, if you turn around to make up your will, call him... um... let him be a servant in the staff department".
Liu Jian heard what Zhengde said, and almost fell from the steps. A military attaché and a jinshi under twenty years old wanted to be the first servant of the six departments? Liu Jian hurriedly knelt and shouted: "The emperor, never do it."
Xie Qian, Li Dongyang two bachelors, Hubu Hangeul, Ritual Wang Qiong, Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng and other six prestigious books all knelt down, and Ma Wensheng anxiously said: "The emperor, the promotion of officials has been hereditary, accepted, military merit, etc. Regardless of the methods of recommendation, selection, grace, and imperial examination, General Yang Shen did not think that he was respectful, competent, and lacking in seniority. How could he be promoted to the post of assistant minister? Please think twice."
Zuo Shilang Wang Ao, Zhan Shi Yang Fang and other ministers who fought with Liu Jin a few days ago had no good feelings for Yang Ling. When he heard that he was about to enter the staff at a young age, he took a seat second only to Shang Shu. There was a group opposition, and the other hundred officials also had their own words.
Zhengde just became the emperor, and when he saw most of the courtiers kneeling down, he felt a little panicked, but he just took the words back to his face and couldn’t make it. Zhengde Emperor had no choice but to look ugly and say: "In that case, I ...I withdrew this will and grant Yang Ling the mighty uncle instead."
Liu Jian heard that the emperor had not been promoted to Yang Ling's official, but he was promoted to noble again. Wherever he agreed, he fell on his knees with a group of officials, repeatedly kowtow. The Wang Qiong Wang Shangshu who had developed lacrimal glands burst into tears again, beating his chest and saying only that the emperor's indiscriminate rewards would lead to turbulent sentiments and dissatisfaction with all officials.
Zhengde Emperor consciously gave in. Seeing that Baiguan was still reluctant, he became angry now, and he jumped off the throne and said, "This emperor should be me or you. No, this emperor might as well be improper."
Zhu Houzhao said that when the jade belt was torn off, he would take off his dragon robe. The two big eunuchs, Lao Wangyue and Zhang Shou, hurriedly jumped up and hugged him. The civil and military officials were crying, and Zhengde made such a noise. Baffled them.
Li Dongyang saw it and thought quickly, Yang Ling is still young, and his talents and morals need to be observed. Being a military commander will not do any harm to the government. A higher rank is fine, but now he is holding an important position in the staff. Participating in government affairs, how can his virtues convince Baiguan?
As for the title, although it is sloppy, it does not violate the ancestral system, so Li Dongyang hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Yes, the minister abides by the decree, the minister thinks that he can grant Yang Shen general to the world, and give a letter of honor, your majesty Do you think so?"
Zhengde heard that a competent minister agreed, hurriedly said: "It's up to the Li University scholar to make it."
The ministers heard what Li Dongyang said, and immediately understood what he meant. They no longer objected loudly anymore, only Wang Qiong couldn't stop after swallowing.
It turns out that the Great Ming title has hereditary, military merit, grace, and relatives. Yang Ling belongs to grace. Just now Li Dongyang shouted out loudly to grant Yang Ling not the world's mighty uncle ~ IndoMTL.com~ to give the book, that is to tell everyone that Yang Ling is not a hereditary juelu, and only grants the book, not the coupon book, but just added a nice book The title of nobility, with a few extra salaries, was not guilty of going against the emperor, so the voice of opposition was greatly reduced.
Liu Jian’s heart can’t stand the toss of the Zhengde emperor. Fortunately, the ceremony that should be held now is almost held, so Liu Jian hurriedly arranged the civil and military officials to guard the spirit in Palace of Heavenly Purity. Kneeling and burning paper there, there will be no more pokes here.
Internal official Wang Yue saw the new emperor ascend to the throne, so busy people went to Kunning Palace to invite the queen mother and two princesses to Palace of Heavenly Purity to watch together.
At this time, Yang Ling didn't know that Kung Fu had already gone to the staff for a while, and then he became an uncle. After Shi Shiran inspected the gates of the palace, he casually ate a meal with the generals in the palace to fill his stomach, and it was almost three days later.
After walking around such a big imperial city, Yang Ling’s heels hurt terribly, but Miyagi couldn’t ride a horse. He managed to get back to Palace of Heavenly Purity step by step, and his leg was about to break. At this time, I saw Hongzhi Emperor funeral. The Dongnuan Pavilion in the sky was deserted and there was no one, so he sent two soldiers to leave, walked around to sit in the hall, took off his boots and rubbed his feet.
Yang Ling rubbed a pair of feet bloodline, just picked up the boots and wanted to put it on, suddenly I was patted on the shoulder. It was in the middle of the night, although the lights were on in the palace, it was really scary, Yang Ling He turned around cleverly, and when he saw the man, Yang Ling was even more surprised and couldn't help calling out.
