On July 22nd, the old emperor was mourned.
On the 23rd, the emperor's posthumous edict was issued, and the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo was appointed emperor.
Two million taels of gold were given to the soldiers of Jiubian, and the world's mining tax was stopped.
So the world rejoiced.
Zhu Changluo summoned the ministers and stated that his father had decreed that Concubine Zheng should be made the queen.
The ministers were opposed to it, thinking that there was no such precedent in the past dynasties.
If Concubine Zheng was made the queen, then where would the birth mother of Concubine Zheng be?
Zhu Changluo just followed the trend and put the matter on hold for further discussion.
Concubine Zheng was angry and afraid, so she gave Zhu Changluo eight beauties.
Zhu Changluo accepted them all.
Without his father who was like a shadow hanging on his head, he completely let go of himself and couldn't play with beauties every day.
I'm so happy, so happy.
On the first day of August, Zhu Changluo officially succeeded to the throne, and changed the next year to the first year of Taichang.
He promoted a large number of officials, almost all of whom were from Donglin, and filled in all the holes left by his father.
Zhu Youxiao was very busy these days.
He, the eldest son of the emperor, was required to participate in all kinds of etiquette.
He was led here and there like a puppet every day.
Fortunately, he exercised well and was able to Supportable.
On the third day of August, he officially ascended the throne in the East Palace.
His grandson was finally going to become the prince.
The Hakka family was so happy that they burned incense and worshiped Buddha.
Li Jinzhong kowtowed eighteen times in front of Wang Cai's soul, and his scalp turned red.
On the tenth day of August, his father, who had just been emperor for ten days, fell ill.
The reason for the illness was that Zhu Youxiao heard Li Xuanshi cursed bitterly: "These vixens."
It must be nothing more than this.
A medical officer was called in for diagnosis and treatment, but there was no improvement.
On August 14, Cui Wensheng, a close confidant of Concubine Zheng, the eunuch Bingbi, presented a "tongliding medicine" to the emperor.
Cui Wensheng was in charge of the imperial pharmacy.
The tongli medicine was actually rhubarb, which was equivalent to a laxative.
So the emperor had diarrhea thirty or forty times at night, and his body became even weaker.
On August 20, the emperor issued an order to abandon the appointment of Concubine Zheng as the Queen Mother.
On the evening of August 21, the emperor summoned Zhu Youxiao.
He first drove away all the eunuchs and maids, and then said: "I'm afraid my health is not good."
He raised his hand to stop Zhu Youxiao and continued: "I still know my body, you don't need to say more.
What I'm worried about is After I leave, you are too young, and some people are afraid that they may not obey you, and there will be situations where you are both obedient and unfaithful, so I want to make Li Xuanshi the imperial concubine.
After I leave, she will be the imperial concubine, so that in the future I can help you.”
Zhu Youxiao replied: "Father, Emperor Jiren has his own destiny, and his health will be well."
"I know you are filial, but there is no need to talk about this matter.
What do you think if I do this?"
"My child doesn't understand, why not make me a queen?
Wouldn't this help my child more?"
"You are still too young and ignorant.
Are the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine the same thing?
I hope she can help you, but I don't want her to suppress you.
If you don't listen to the Queen Mother, some people will say you are unfilial, but the Imperial Concubine The imperial concubine doesn’t have this problem, do you understand?”

It seems that I really don’t understand the political struggle.
I just take it for granted.
I just want more help, the better, but I didn’t expect that too much help may turn into resistance.
No one can guarantee whether Li Xuanshi will have other concerns after becoming the Queen Mother.
It seems that his father is thoughtful.
"The child you choose to serve and treat as if you were your own child should be the imperial concubine."
"There is a very good word in this sentence, like, like biological rather than biological, so we have to use it to help you block some unfavorable remarks and so on, but we must also guard against her and not let her get bigger.
You If I can figure it out, I can feel relieved.”
"My child understands what my father means.
Please rest assured."
On August 22, the emperor summoned Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, and others, and asked Zhu Youxiao to listen to the affairs.
He told his ministers that he would no longer go to court for the time being and that he would focus on recuperating his body.
He would entrust the affairs of the state and the prince to them.
He believed that his poor health was due to Cui Wensheng's inappropriate medicine, so he expelled him from the palace.
At the same time, he proposed to make Li Xuan's servant Xi Li the imperial concubine.
That night, at the residence of Zuo Guangdou, the censor of Zhejiang Province, several people gathered together, including the great scholars Liu Yizhen and Han Xu, the Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Hubu Li Ruhua, the Minister of Rites Sun Ruyou, and the Minister of Military Affairs Zuo Geishang Yang Lian.
Guanglu Temple Chief Panlong, plus Zuo Guangdou himself, these eight people are the most important figures in the Donglin Party in Beijing today.
Today the emperor wants to make Li Xuanshi the imperial concubine, so Zuo Guangdou convened to discuss countermeasures here. .
First of all, Sun Ruyou spoke: "If Li Xuanshi becomes the imperial concubine, if there is something unbearable to be said in the future, she will be the imperial concubine.
She has educated the prince for many days.
I am afraid that it will seriously affect the new emperor.
Although the emperor is not her, it is better than being her."
Liu Yishui said: "I, all the sages of Donglin, have been striving for this position for many years, so now that I have ascended the throne, I, Donglin, can establish a court, and the crown prince can ascend the throne.
I, Donglin, are also determined to win the merit of supporting him, and If Li Xuanshi becomes Concubine Li, it will be an obstacle for us.
"Because everyone is from the Donglin lineage, there is no scruple in speaking.
Yang Lian frowned and glanced at Liu Yishen, but said nothing.
Zhou Jiamo said: "For today's plan, let's delay it first.
If we delay it until Daxing, she won't be able to control it by then."
Yang Lian frowned again and said: "Li Xuanshi has always been favored by the emperor.
If he is named the imperial concubine, his arrogance will be particularly arrogant.
It's hard to say what he will do when his desires are hard to satisfy.
We must not do it.
Before he can succeed, find a reason to hold him back, and contact Wang An.
If there is anything in the inner palace, please inform us immediately. " Everyone agreed with his statement, and Zuo Guangdou added: "If we make her a noble concubine, I'm afraid Wu Zhou's affairs are not far away."
Everyone discussed it and finally decided that since the late emperor's concubine and the current emperor's wife and the prince's biological mother have not yet been granted the title of empress, Li Xuan's matter of concubine can't be done before theirs.
The emperor has no way to object to such a reply.
Let's hold it off for now, wait until it can't be held on any longer.
On August 24, the emperor sent someone to urge Li Xuan to make Li Xuan a noble concubine.
Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, replied that the empress of Shenzong and the emperor's biological mother should be made empress dowager first, and then the emperor's first wife and the prince's biological mother should be made empress, and then it would be the turn to make the emperor's concubine.
On August 29, Li Kezhuo, the chief minister of Honglu Temple, said that there was an elixir to be presented to the emperor.
The eunuchs did not dare to make the decision and reported the matter to the cabinet minister Fang Congzhe.
Fang Congzhe said: "He said that there was an elixir, but I couldn't believe it."
So he refused to report it.
At this time, the emperor summoned the ministers again and proposed to make Li Xuanshi the imperial concubine now.
The ministers were surprised.

This was too hasty.
Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly beside him.
What Li Xuanshi said to him just now was not something that the imperial concubine could get rid of.
While he was thinking about it, Li Xuanshi suddenly entered the hall and said directly to him: "Brother, come out for a moment."
Then he turned around and left first.
He walked out, not even the emperor or ministers looked at him during the whole process.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the emperor, who nodded helplessly, and he had no choice but to turn around and leave the palace.
Li Xuanshi said: "Brother, didn't I tell you?
Why don't you tell the emperor directly that I want to be the queen."
Zhu Youxiao whispered: "Empress, this kind of thing should be done slowly, isn't there a saying Haste makes waste, take it step by step, there is no need to rush.”
Li Xuan was angry and said loudly: "Brother, you know how I treat you.
Are you unwilling to help me with such a small thing?
Go, go, just say it."
Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to Turn around and enter the palace.
Everyone was looking at him, so he had no choice but to approach the emperor and said softly: "The empress said she wanted to be the queen."
Although the voice was small, everyone heard it in the silent hall.
All the ministers were stunned.
They looked at each other in disbelief.
At this time, Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly knelt down and said: "What the emperor just said about the appointment of the emperor's concubine, I will handle it immediately."
The emperor understood and said: "Okay, okay, go and handle it quickly.
Everyone, please step aside."
Youxiao thought: "You can't blame me.
I have advised you.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Wouldn't it be better to get the imperial concubine first?
This situation is not good now."
At this time, the emperor heard that someone had offered the elixir, so he asked him to present it.
Li Kezhuo prepared a pill at noon and presented it.
After the emperor took this red elixir, he felt much better and wanted to eat.
After the meal, Li Kezhuo was ordered to take another one in the evening.
Zhu Youxiao felt that this medicine was not very reliable, so he asked the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor also felt that it was unreliable, but he could not prescribe a better medicine, so he had to suggest to the prince that he should take one pill a day instead of consecutive medicines.
Eat well.
So Zhu Youxiao went to the emperor's father to make suggestions.
The emperor had been feeling unwell for more than twenty days.
Now he felt much better after eating this, so he rejected the prince's suggestion and ate another one at night.
Zhu Youxiao stayed on guard until the third watch sounded at eleven o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that the emperor was fine, he went to bed with peace of mind.
Before I slept for a while, I was woken up.
Wang An whispered outside: "The emperor passed away
