The stars are moving, and the morning star hangs in the sky. otbnkotgt The cabinet duty room was brightly lit, watching the water level of the leak decrease little by little, Jin Youzi, who stayed behind, was anxious, and looked out of the door from time to time, every time the footsteps sounded, it would make him raise his heart to his throat, lest he see which adult returned empty-handed Finally, the first one to go out came back, and Xia Yuanji Xia Shangshu appeared at the door.
Jin Youzi hurriedly got up to greet him: "Old Ministry, how" Seeing Xia Yuanji's empty hands, Jin Youzi's heart was about to stop beating.
Xia Yuanji turned to one side, and a Chinese scholar stepped forward with more than 30 recitals.
Jin Youzi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the scholar to put the recital on the case, and said happily to Xia Yuanji: "The old ministry has made a good start."
"Hehe," Xia Yuanji smiled faintly: "I'm ashamed, the old man gathered the officials of the headquarters and ordered all the seven grades and above to write congratulatory sheets, so he made up more than 30 copies, and many of them were indiscriminate."
"I don't care so much, I have to go on the indiscriminate charge" Jin Youzi picked up a book and began to read: "As long as there is no nonsense on the greeting table" "I'm worried about that, too."
Xia Yuanji nodded, put on reading glasses, got together with Jin Youzi, and looked through those congratulatory watches, in case there was mixed with private work inside, which caused the emperor to be angry.
The two looked at the congratulatory watch, and the rest of the people also came one after another, and Jian Yi deserved to be the head of the hundred officials, and one person got more than 50 copies.
Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi suffered because they were not the deans of the ministry and did not have many direct subordinates, so they could only summon officials to write congratulatory sheets through others, which was naturally not so efficient, but the two of them also got more than 20 copies each.
The last to come back was His Royal Highness the Taisun, and the ministers who were all flipping through the recitals turned their eyes to Zhu Zhanji, and then turned to the four Zhongshu people behind him who were holding four stacks of high recitals.
The Ministry Hall was originally worried that the number of congratulatory tables was not enough, but when they saw this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Taisun, how many congratulatory tables are there?"
"One hundred and seventeen."
Zhu Zhanji had a reserved smile on his face, and said lightly: "My Ming official is still very sensible. ” "More than a hundred" The scholars of Zhongbu Hall couldn't help but gasp.
Today's event, although it is a helpless emergency, is not a competition of the strength of the adults.
Being able to make officials change their ways in such a short period of time is itself a manifestation of strength.
As a heavenly official, Jian Yi can receive more than 50 congratulatory invitations, which is far beyond others, and can be regarded as the prestige of the leader of the hundred officials.
However, the congratulatory watch that His Royal Highness got was twice as much as that of Jianyi, and this terrible appeal and influence inevitably made the adults admire, but also a little more worried that the emperor was worried that the prince would be the capital of the country, so he desperately promoted the grandson, but now His Royal Highness the grandson is not a big capital However, it was all a long-term consideration, and there was not much to be taken into account at this time, and the cabinet scholars and officials hurried to read more than 200 copies of the recital quickly, and it was already dawn outside.
Zhu Zhanji accompanied them all night, and then stretched his waist and stood up and said, "I'm going to serve the emperor's grandfather and get up, you guys take care of it." ” "Your Highness, please."
The adults put down their congratulatory watches and got up to send them off.
After Zhu Zhanji left, Xia Yuanji shook his head and said, "It's good to be young, it's like a good person to stay up all night." ” At this time, the Zhongshu people gently blew out the lights of the cabinet, and Jian Yi rubbed his astringent eyes and said: "The years are not forgiving, we old arms and legs, today's ceremony from morning to night, I don't know if we can hold it." ” "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it, and if you can't get through it, you have to get through it."
Yang Shiqi finished reading all the congratulatory tables at hand, and asked all the adults to serve a bowl of ginseng soup and said: "Today's ceremony can't go wrong no matter what." ” The adults naturally knew this, nodded, and continued to read the congratulatory table while eating the ginseng soup.
The soup was almost finished, and all the greeting tables were read.
Jian Yi took off his tortoiseshell glasses, rubbed his temples and said, "Send them to Your Majesty." ” The people of the Zhongshu House put the congratulatory watch into a box and carried it out of the cabinet.
"More than two hundred and twenty congratulatory sheets, although not much," Seeing that the people in the Zhongshu House were busy, Xia Yuanji said to himself while covering his face with a cold towel to keep himself awake: "It should be possible to pass the test." ” "It should be about the same."
Yang Shiqi rubbed the corners of his eyes with his fingers and rubbed off a large piece of eye feces.
"There is still an hour before the ceremony, and the emperor is estimated that there will be no more extraneous branches."
"I hope so."
Yang Rong stood up, and the housekeepers hurriedly put on a cloak for him and the rest of the adults, and gave him a warm hat.
"yes, I hope so."
All the adults also got up one after another, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go over too." ” "Yes."
The adults put on sable cloaks and white warm hats, left the cabinet, and went to the Qianqing Palace.
At this time, it was already bright outside, and the Forbidden City was lively.
Thousands of guards, eunuchs, all put on a new auspicious clothes, the eunuchs wear python clothes, lanterns, holding Ruyi, holding fans, holding umbrellas, standing on both sides of the royal road, the first row is holding spears, gourds, axes, banners, neatly lined up the inner gold armor guards, and then a row behind, is the teacher of the workshop musicians with various musical instruments, this nearly tens of thousands of people from the noon gate to the Qianqing gate, there is no sound, no one moves, everyone is silently waiting for their monarch.
It is said that it is a ceremony to move the palace, but in fact, the emperor has already lived in the Qianqing Palace in advance, but the three major halls have not yet been opened.
Jianyi Yang Shiqi and others arrived at the gate of Qianqing, and met with King Zhao, Chengguo Gong, Dingguo Gong, Yangwu Marquis and others who had been waiting here for a long time, and entered the Qianqing Palace together.
But seeing that in the middle of the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, the huge dragon with one by thirty-two lifts was shining in the morning light, and the thirty-two strong eunuchs wearing python clothes were kneeling under their respective sedan chair poles, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to board the sedan chair.
King Zhao and Jian Yi and other princes and ministers all knelt in the second row of the stone steps of the main hall.
As for the first row, His Royal Highness the Prince, who knelt all night, everyone's eyes quietly looked at the open door of the Qianqing Palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor had already gotten up, but only wore ordinary swallow clothes.
Li Yan, Huang Wei, Yang Qing and other great eunuchs all knelt under His Royal Highness, holding the emperor's crown, chapter clothes, robes, leather belts, jade pendants, and ribbons, these are the things that the emperor should wear when he participates in the ceremony, but Zhu Di did not mean to look at those things at all at this moment.
His gloomy gaze fell on the box of greetings sent by the Cabinet.
Zhu Zhanji held the medicine bowl in his hand and stood aside.
The scholar opened the box, the emperor glanced at the box full of greeting watches, his expression was still gloomy, he picked up a book, did not open it, just looked at the cover repeatedly, and said with a smile: "The number is not enough, the skin is made up."
Is it to use such a thick cover to make it look more?"
"No," Zhu Zhanji hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Huang, today is the imperial court ceremony, and the official's congratulatory watch, of course, must use this kind of best quality seal, otherwise it will not be able to show solemnity."

"Hmph" Zhu Di sneered, threw the congratulatory watch back, and asked faintly: "Here, are you sure it's all a congratulatory watch?"
"Several elders have seen them one by one overnight, and they are indeed correct."
Zhu Zhanji replied softly: "If the imperial grandfather doesn't believe it, you can do a spot check." ” "Hmph, I'm afraid I'm disgusting to see it," Zhu Di said coldly: "I'm afraid they all write this watch with hatred, if it weren't for their Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid there won't be a single congratulatory watch," he said, turning his head away.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly smiled and said, "Then take it first, and the imperial grandfather can watch it whenever he wants." ” "Hmph" Seeing that the emperor had no objection, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly motioned to the scholar to carry the box away with his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, it's time for the emperor's grandfather to change his clothes."
Li Yan and Huang Wei and the other eunuchs also got up and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting outside for a long time."
Zhu Di had a dark face and didn't say a word, but after all, he let them dress himself neatly, and slowly walked out of the Qianqing Palace with the support of his grandson.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, seeing the figure of the emperor, the prince and all the princes and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted in unison: "Respectfully invite Your Majesty to board the car" and then the sound of Shao music started, singing and dancing.
Today is a big day that Zhu Di has been planning for a long time.
It can be said that since 16 years ago, after usurping the throne and ascending the throne of Fengtian Temple in Nanjing, he has always wanted to change places as the capital and sit on the dragon chair more peacefully.
In the past 16 years, he expelled the Tatars, built a new capital in Beijing, dredged the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and relocated millions of wealthy families from the south of the Yangtze River to fill Beijing, overwhelming the opposition of the crown prince and his ministers.
Step by step, careful planning, and doing our best to act again and again, we have finally come to this point, which is about to complete a long-cherished wish for more than ten years Before this day, Zhu Di had imagined the scene of the capital relocation ceremony countless times, and every time he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, but on this day, he didn't have any joy in his heart, only full of anger Why is it that I am obviously for the sake of this country and for the sake of future generations, all of you, from the crown prince to the hundreds of bureaucrats, all of you have to oppose me so desperately, disgusting, don't look at you all kneeling here now, your faces are full of deference, but I know that your hearts are full of disgrace, disdain, and dissatisfaction There was no joy on Zhu Di's face, he felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and he was about to explode.
Yet on this day, he can only endure Glancing coldly at the crown prince, seeing that he was still wearing last night's clothes, the emperor said lightly: "The prince plans to wear this to attend the ceremony."
"Erchen, this will be replaced."
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly got up with the help of several eunuchs and went to the side hall to change the crown of the crown prince, and after a while, he changed into his robe and came out with the support of the eunuchs.
At this time, the emperor had already ascended to the dragon chariot, and all the princes and ministers stood behind the dragon chariot, just waiting for the crown prince to take the throne.
As soon as the prince arrived, Huang Wei shouted at the top of his voice: "The emperor is driving":
