Chapter 22: Enthronement


On the first day of September in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Changluo officially became an immortal after taking two elixirs.

In the morning, the ministers went to Qianqing Palace to cry to the late empress, and proposed to invite Zhu Youxiao to Wenhua Palace, where they all kowtowed to pay homage to the future emperor.

Li Xuanshi was worried and asked them to meet him at Qianqing Palace.

During the incident, Yang Lian, who was in charge of military affairs, called Wang An, who had been promoted to eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of rituals, and asked him to invite the prince out.

Wang An went in and said to Li Xuanshi: "There are two coffins of the late emperors in Qianqing Palace.

It is not suitable to visit the prince.

Therefore, the foreign minister wants to kowtow to the prince in Wenhua Palace and send him back to Qianqing Palace after kowtowing."

Li Xuanshi asked Li Jinzhong to take Xiao Li Xiao Deng went with the prince and told him to take good care of the prince.

After Zhu You came out of school, the great scholars Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, Han Xu, the Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Household Affairs Li Ruhua, the Military Department left to Shi Zhong Yang Lian, the Li Department to Shi Zhong Bao Qian, the Zhejiang Dao Yu Shi Zuo Guangdou rushed forward, startling Zhu Youxiao.

Li Jinzhong hurriedly protected the prince, but Yang Lian rushed up to him, pushed him away, slapped him in the face, and cursed: "Get out of the way, you eunuch."

Li Jinzhong did not dare to reply, let alone fight back, so he had to cover his red face.

As they walked along, Yang Lian said again: "Don't follow me.

I'll come here and break your legs again."

Li Jinzhong and others had no choice but to watch the prince being taken away, then turned around and went back to report to Li Xuanshi.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was not taken away, but carried away, and he arrived at the Wenhua Hall without touching the ground.

Everyone invites the prince to sit down and kowtow together.

Yang Lian asked the prince to succeed the emperor as soon as possible to reassure the world.

Zhu Youxiao said: "The late emperor passed away, and I was lonely and grieved.

I just wanted to mourn the late emperor and did not want to succeed to the throne."

The emperor's succession to the throne requires three formal invitations and three resignations, so it was expected that the prince would not allow such a request.

Then the ministers reported some funeral arrangements.

After these matters were completed, the ministers saluted and prepared to leave. , at this time Yang Lian spoke: "The prince cannot return to Qianqing Palace, we should find a new place to place the prince."

Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, the prince has lived with him in Qianqing Palace, why can't he go back?"

Yang Lian said: "There is still Li Xuan in the Palace of Qianqing.

The prince is young and is easily bewitched by him.

If he wants to do things like hanging curtains, what can we do?

We should move Li Xuan to the prince's side, so that people can feel at ease."

Fang Congzhe thought that it was absolutely impossible for Li Xuanshi to do the curtain-draping thing, but it was difficult to refute, so he asked: "Where can the prince live if he doesn't return to Qianqing Palace?"

Wang An leaned forward and said, "Ciqing Palace was the original palace of the Crown Prince, and it can be the temporary residence of the Crown Prince."

Yang Lian said: "Then let's go to Ciqing Palace."

The two decided the matter in just a few words without consulting the chief minister at all.

Fang Congzhe's expression remained unchanged and he said nothing.

During the whole process, no one asked Zhu Youxiao where he wanted to live, and no one even looked at him during the discussion.

Everyone carried him to Ciqing Palace, bowed and said goodbye, and left.

Wang An called a few eunuchs, told them to serve the prince carefully, and then left.

Being ignored by the officials like a puppet, one can imagine Zhu Youxiao's anger.

After Wang An left, he walked out of Ciqing Palace and returned to Qianqing Palace.

Several eunuchs persuaded the prince not to leave, but Zhu You ignored them and did not dare to stop the prince.

He could only follow him until He entered Qianqing Palace and then went back helplessly.

As soon as he entered the palace, Li Xuanshi and Keshi greeted him.

Li Xuan said, "Have they ever made things difficult for me?"

Zhu Youxiao said: "Of course they won't embarrass me.

Where is Ti Ti?

I'm hungry, let's eat together."

As for the fact that they don't want to go back to Qianqing Palace by themselves, it's better not to talk about it, so as not to worry Li Xuanshi and Hakka.

After the meal, there was a wake as usual.

Zhu Youxiao sat in the mourning hall and began to think.

According to common sense, the prince was young and had to be taken care of.

But now the ministers wanted him to live alone in Ciqing Palace, away from the people he knew.

This was a bit abnormal.

According to Parallel Time and Space Administration No. 1, he should become emperor this year.

Judging from the situation, it will probably happen in the next few days.

As for me, a child who is only sixteen years old, although the ministers kowtow to him, they can't see any respect at all.

Then their purpose of letting me live alone is obvious: they want to isolate.

He wants to be their puppet.

According to the analysis of the principle that the more you dance, the greater the profit, Fang Congzhe obviously does not think so, so it should be Yang Lian and his group who think so.

I have just arrived and am unfamiliar with the place, so I can't be fooled by them.

Fang Congzhe should be able to win over him as an ally.

Needless to say, Xu Guangqi is not an ally but a confidant.

Who else is Zhu Youxiao sadly discovered that outside the Ting himself has no one available at all.

If the outer court is not good, then the first person in the palace who can be trusted is of course Li Jinzhong, Wang Tigan, and Li Chaoqin are all good.

Wang An seems to be getting closer to Yang Lian, so it is better to be careful.

The next day, the ministers came to Ciqing Palace to pay homage to the prince, but the building was empty.

Yang Lian immediately asked people to find Wang An.

After hearing the eunuch of Ciqing Palace explain the situation, Wang An immediately asked people to send people to Ciqing Palace.

The eunuch was pushed to the ground and beaten hard, and while beating, he scolded: "Why didn't you go and tell me last night?"

The ministers didn't care about Wang An's punishment of the eunuch, and went to Wenhua Palace first.

Wang An then came to Qianqing Palace to demand Invite the prince to the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Youxiao said: "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it in Qianqing Palace."

He didn't want to be like yesterday, and he wouldn't be able to come back.

Wang Andao: "Today the ministers have something important to announce.

There are two coffins of the late emperors in the Qianqing Palace.

It is inconvenient, so I invite the prince to go to the Wenhua Palace and then come back to the palace."

Zhu Youxiao replied: "No need, just say it here.

Is there anything you can't say here?"

However, Li Xuanshi became suspicious and asked: "What's wrong?

Weren't you also in the Wenhua Hall yesterday?

Why didn't you go today?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't tell her the truth yesterday, so it was not easy to answer this question today.

He thought, at best, he would come back at night.

So he said goodbye to Li Xuanshi and others, and followed Wang An to Wenhua Hall.

After the ministers knelt down and worshiped, Li Kezuo reported to Li Ruogui that there was a certain order in which the canonization ceremony was held.

The posthumous titles of Empress Xiaoduanxian, Empress Shenzong, and Empress Xiaojing, the biological mother of Guangzong, have not yet been announced.

Concubine Guo Yuanfei, the first concubine of Guangzong, and the biological mother of Wang Cairen, Zhu Youxiao, have not even decided on the title of empress.

They have chosen Li Shi as the imperial concubine.

It is advisable to stop the matter for the time being.

Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, also said that this should be the case according to etiquette.

Zhu Youxiao knew that this could only be the outcome in the end, so he had no choice but to agree.

Although his emperor father told him why he wanted to make Li Xuanshi the imperial concubine, according to Zhu Youxiao's original intention, he didn't want to have an imperial concubine dictating over him, but Li Xuanshi had always been nice to him. , coupled with Ti Ti's relationship, made him feel that it would be better to call her the imperial concubine.

But now even the Minister of Rites has said this, and what he said is indeed correct, that is, his objection is invalid, so let's suspend it for a while.

Then the princes, marquises, princes, princes, civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians, senior citizens, and the young master and prince's young master Zhang Weixian, etc., all wrote letters to urge people to come in.

This was the first time they wanted to come, but as usual they were not allowed.

Yang Lian also proposed that the prince's return to Qianqing Palace yesterday was not in line with etiquette, and asked him to stay in Ciqing Palace today.

He also suggested that Li Xuanshi was not suitable to live in Qianqing Palace anymore and should move out immediately.

Zhu Youxiao glared at Wang An and said: "The orphan is young and needs to be taken care of by the attendants.

There is no need to move out of Qianqing Palace to choose the attendants."

Zhu Youxiao still had some feelings for Li Xuanshi, and of course it was because of Ti Ti.

It would actually be the best arrangement if Li Xuanshi lived in the Qianqing Palace to take care of him, just like how Guangzong arranged to make Li Xuanshi the imperial concubine, so he proposed that Li Xuanshi temporarily live in the Qianqing Palace to take care of himself, which was a hornet's nest.

First of all, Bingke Zuo reported to Yang Lian about the incident.

He believed that Li Xuanshi regarded herself as the emperor's mother and regarded herself as a mother.

In name, she was protecting the emperor, but in fact, she wanted to have exclusive power and entrusted protection in the name of others.

He was harboring the secret of being special; so it was a big mistake.

The ministers did not believe her and did not want her to take care of the emperor, so they asked the emperor to live in Ciqing Palace and asked her to move out of Qianqing Palace before returning to the palace.

Pay it to an untrustworthy hand.

Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to stay in Ciqing Palace temporarily and then return to Qing Dynasty.

Then, he said that Li Xuan ordered the internal officials to steal the treasures in the palace and transport them out.

He thought that she was the imperial concubine and did not take the emperor seriously.

He ordered Li Jinzhong, Liu Xun and Wei Jinzhong to open the treasure house without permission.

How could they steal the treasures?

Do what you have in the first dynasty, and then go out of it.

It refers to borrowing the name of the imperial concubine, and the color is so beautiful that there is no young master.

Finally, he believed that Li Xuanshi had a low status and was neither the prince's aunt nor the prince's biological mother.

She should move out of the Qianqing Palace immediately.

There was no need to choose a day when she was neither the aunt nor the biological mother.

However, her parents doted on her and she was arrogant.

Who else in the world could level it?

It is said that it is appropriate to give an order to select attendants: abiding by heaven's instructions is auspicious, and there is no need to make excuses to choose a day.

I think Li Xuanshi will move out today, and the emperor will move back to Qianqing Palace to move to the palace.

What I said will be today, and what your Majesty will do will also be today.

Zhu Youxiao was furious.

The late emperor's original intention was to ask Li Xuanshi to take care of him.

What do you think he meant?

As for Li Xuanshi's stealing of the palace treasures, he knew that was not the case at all.

The treasures were originally awarded to her by the late emperor.

The following words even imply that Li Xuan wanted to imitate Wu Zetian, and his intentions were too vicious.

Zhejiang Taoist Censor Zuo Guangdou also agreed with Yang Lian's idea, and even said: "Gaozong's affairs with Wu Zhou must not be seen today."

This directly refers to Li Xuan's desire to seduce the prince in order to carry out Wu Zhou's affairs.

Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he was about to refute him.

At this time, the academicians Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixuan, and Han Xu came together.

They said it more euphemistically.

They believed that the emperor would live in the Qianqing Palace after the enthronement ceremony.

Li Xuanshi Just a chosen waiter, identity Due to the restrictions, she was not qualified to live in Qianqing Palace to take care of the prince, so Li Xuanshi was asked to move out.

Moreover, Ciqing Palace was the place where the prince's father lived before he ascended the throne, and it was not suitable for her to live, so she did not move to Ciqing Palace, but to Ciqing Palace.

It is to be moved to the Hall of Renshou.

In short, everyone means that Li Xuanshi must move away.

Whether the words are vicious or gentle, everyone has the same meaning.

Li Xuanshi cannot be allowed to take care of him.

Zhu Youxiao understood that last time they said they would postpone the appointment of Li Xuanshi as the imperial concubine, it turned out that they were waiting for him here.

After all, he was still trying to figure things out, and he couldn't reason with them now.

Moreover, he speculated that the ministers' real thoughts were that they didn't want an imperial concubine to hold them back, so they did this.

He knew that he could not argue with the ministers even if he wanted to argue, so he had no choice but to agree to let Li Xuanshi move out of Qianqing Palace and move to Renshou Palace before he ascended the throne.

He would live in Ciqing Palace first and promised not to return to Qianqing Palace.

Ministers Then he left with satisfaction.

After the ministers withdrew, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Andao: "What kind of official is this Yang Lian?

He speaks so harshly and aggressively."

Wang An said solemnly: "I once heard someone say that although Yang Lian was a minor official, in the dynasty, he was devoted to the country and the first person with outstanding knowledge was Yang Lian.

That day, the internal ministers introduced the late emperor and the prince.

Yang Lian ordered his ministers to go to Qianqing Palace to check on his condition.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young and plays with Li Jinzhong and others all day long.

He does not know the loyalty and treachery of the court officials.

This minister can save it.

His Highness is just talking to the ministers.

However, if these words come from outside, the heart of the loyal minister will be treacherous and sycophant.

This will lead to the loss of the Yin and Yin period of the late emperor."

Zhu Youxiao was choked by his words and could not speak.

This old dog is hateful.

He and Li Jinzhong were doing serious business.

If you don't understand, don't be blind.

You're bullying me for being young, right?

I'm over thirty years old together.

If you don't argue between loyalty and treachery, I think you, an old guy, are a traitor.

I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs walking.

What's your routine?

You can still see it clearly.

If you want to ignore me, there is no way.

"Your Highness, the minister has been ordered by the ministers to move to the palace.

I don't know if I have any other orders."

"The matter of moving the palace is not what I want.

Don't force it too much.

Just do it before ascending the throne.

There is also the matter of Li Jinzhong.

I know about it.

It is not a theft, so there is no need to blame him."

"I would like to follow His Highness's instructions.

Your Majesty will take note of this."

Wang An hurried away.

So Zhu Youxiao stayed in Ciqing Palace that night.

On the third day of September, the officials tried to persuade him to come in for the second time, but as usual they refused.

On the fourth day of September, I tried to persuade him to come in for the third time, and he accepted it as usual.

He is scheduled to ascend the throne on September 6th.

The ministers brought more than a dozen proposed reign names to him for him to choose from.

He saw that one of them was Tianqi and thought, his brother's name is Zhu Xiaotian, and his own name is Zhu Xiaoqi.

This is a very good title.

He will think of it when he sees this title.

Brother, just point to it and say: "That's it."

On the sixth day of September, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne as emperor in the Wenhua Hall.

He was named Tianqi and granted amnesty to the world.

From today on, he is no longer a grandson or a prince, but a real emperor.

He has become the Emperor of Tianqi Zhu Youxiao
