The first ray of sunshine in the morning pierced the clouds and spread its light across the entire capital.
The sleeping city gradually woke up, and pedestrians and merchants began to follow their own tracks and start their day's life.
Since the death of Emperor Zhengde, the lives of the people in the capital have been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
During the national mourning period, entertainment was prohibited, and the entire rhythm of life in the capital was disrupted.
People who grew up in the capital have long been accustomed to the change of emperors.
Everyone is waiting for the new king to ascend the throne, and then live as he pleases.
The news that the new emperor and the cabinet are in conflict has spread in the capital.
Everyone has seen it once a few days ago, when officials lined up to welcome him, and then they were let go.
Thinking about it, I still don't know how long the stalemate will last before we can reach a conclusion.
The people in Beijing have always prided themselves on being well-informed.
In the streets and alleys, everyone is discussing the news they have learned, showing their erudition.
After getting up today, those Kuhaha who were selling food from carts were driven back by the officers and soldiers patrolling the street as soon as they pushed their carts out.
They were also asked to hold up water basins and kneel on both sides of the long street to pick them up.
"This is the new king coming again.
Who will win this contest between the new king and the elder?"
The people took advantage of the ceremony before they arrived, whispering to each other, exchanging information about all this.
And those officials know more than the common people.
At least they can be sure that they will not be let off again today.
After receiving the order in the suburbs, he went directly to Fengtian Hall to ascend the throne, which was regarded as everyone taking a step back.
The emperor no longer asked him to stay overnight in the Qianqing Palace, and ministers no longer asked him to act according to the arrangements in the etiquette.
Zhu Houcong knew how to give up when he was ready, so he agreed to come to the capital to take over the throne.
Liang Chu, Mao Cheng, Cui Yuan and other ministers who welcomed the emperor to the capital finally confirmed their contribution to the emperor's arrival in the capital.
The government, which had been at a standstill, was finally back on track.
This ending can be regarded as a happy one for everyone, but everyone tacitly avoids one fact: in this contest, it was the cabinet who lost to the emperor, or the emperor who had the last laugh.
Thanks to Yang Tinghe's foresight, he drove all the foreign envoys back.
Otherwise, Ming Dynasty's family scandal would have been spread.
If the monarch is not in harmony, the government will be somewhat unstable in the future.
However, at this time, most civil and military officials are placing their bets on Yang Tinghe, believing that the new monarch, a tree with no roots, will have a child's temper. , will eventually succumb to the chief assistant.
The huge guard of honor approached the Zhengyang Gate.
Yang Tinghe stood at the head of the squad, looking at the huge and mighty team, but he actually didn't feel guilty about his subordinates.
This new king may be just a young man's willfulness, but if he is not willful, but really has his own opinion, then he will be a monster in his own hands.
Not only will his ambitions be unable to be realized, but even the structure he has created now will be destroyed and abandoned.
"The new monarch comes from Anlu and has no foundation in the court.
He only relies on Yuan Zonggao, Yang Chengzu and others.
If the new monarch's wings can be cut off, he can only rely on his father.
Yuan Zhongde is old and cannot be used for his old age.
Jiangnan The climate in Jiangbei is different, but the climate is enough to defeat him, and there is no danger to him.
As for Yang Chengzu, if he becomes powerful in the future, he may be the father of Jiang Bin. " What echoed in my ears was the advice my son gave me on my way back to the capital yesterday night.
However, Yang Tinghe thought about it, but still couldn't accept this view.
Although his son was smart, he still lacked experience.
How could a military minister threaten the military power of the four foreign armies?
If he wanted to cut him off, he had to start with Yuan Zonggao first.
Although the emperor defeated the cabinet once in this contest, as long as the people in the court are people with the same aspirations as him, the final victory will definitely be in the hands of the cabinet.
"Brother, it turns out this is the capital."
Zhu Houcong on the elephant carriage sighed in a low voice.

After the galloping last night, he was now happy both physically and mentally, and felt indescribably relaxed.
When he thought that the entire empire was about to be in his hands, and that the dragon crown symbolizing supreme power was about to be put on his head, his heart was beating violently, and he wanted to find someone to talk to.
Only in this way could he feel relieved. own mood.
Yang Chengzu does not dare to sit on the elephant chariot now, but as a personal guard, he always rides a horse and follows closely beside the elephant chariot.
When the emperor asked, he nodded and said: "Yes, this is the capital.
Every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree is your highness's property, and the thousands of people in this city are all subjects under your rule."
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, both inside and outside, are your property.”
Different from the policy of not building city walls in the south of the Yangtze River, the capital is located on the border.
Once the northern invaders break the Great Wall, they can easily command their troops below the city.
Therefore, the city wall was built extremely tall and majestic.
In the eyes of these Anlu people, such a huge city would be unbelievable unless they saw it with their own eyes.
In this era, the population of Paris cannot be compared with that of the capital city.
In today's world, in terms of the huge population and the grandeur of the city, Beijing City can be called truly unparalleled in the world.
However, in Yang Chengzu's eyes, these scenes were nothing more than that.
The household registration is only one million.
In his previous life, he also lived in the capital.
At that time, the permanent population of the capital had already exceeded 20 million.
Comparing the two, the capital in this time and space is actually a larger city, nothing unusual.
He was just thinking, wondering if the capital in this era had bean juice, jiao rings, braised pork, and stir-fried liver.
Zhengyangmen is the main entrance of the capital, with Xuanwumen to the west and Chongwenmen to the east.
On weekdays, the Zhengyang Gate is not open, soldiers and civilians go to the Xuanwu Gate, and merchants go to the Chongwen Gate.
Because of this, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Chongwen Gate Tax Supervisor was a fat and oily position that could not be granted to anyone other than a close associate of the emperor.
Thinking of the lovely man last night, Zhu Houcong glanced at Yang Chengzu beside the car and said, "Brother, are you interested in becoming a Chongwenmen tax supervisor?"
"This doesn't seem good, right?
It's not time to give rewards based on merit.
Besides, there are so many ministers waiting to be canonized.
I don't dare."
"There's nothing to be afraid of.
It's settled.
If I can't even decide for a small tax supervisor, then I'm not the emperor at all."
Zhu Houcong straightened his back, "Since the capital has invited me to be the emperor, then what kind of emperor can I be?"
You have to listen to me in everything, but I want to see if the first decree cannot be implemented."
Yang Chengzu gave a helpless smile.
Although he had thought about hiding his power and biding his time at the beginning, now it seemed that the emperor would have to establish his authority and confirm his status in some places.
In the days to come, today is just the beginning of the collision and competition between the two giants of the empire
