Chapter 137: Enthronement Ceremony


When the morning sun rose high in the sky, Zhu Qiyu, dressed in a bright yellow gown, also stood on the steps of the main hall and ceremoniously accepted the formal worship of the ministers.

There is no "three resignations and three concessions" in the traditional ceremony, in fact, under the auspices of Yu Qian, all the projects have been implemented simply, which can save money and do not waste time.

Moreover, because Hu Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was on sick leave and was unable to attend the ceremony, even the last prayer for the sacrifice to heaven was recited by Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Fu Yihua is a few years old, the same cloud is not ominous, the thing will be defective, the blame is in the squint, dare to fast, ask for praise, still hope to give the blessing, in order to protect the benevolence......

The rate is to rush to the age, to inherit the Hongye, to rely on the grace of heaven, to show the old thread, the more Mao and the new ......"

In Yu Qian's high-pitched and passionate voice, Zhu Qiyu officially became the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty in a daze, so that he accepted the kneeling salute between the monarchs and ministers of everyone to him with peace of mind, "Minister......

See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty Long live Long live. ” Zhu Qiyu almost forgot what happened next, he only knew that from that moment on, his emperor brother Zhu Qizhen had transformed into the Emperor of Beijiao, and he would rule the whole world instead of him.

It was a little cold outside, Zhu Qiyu subconsciously wanted to retract his hand into his sleeve, but he didn't feel very solemn, after all, he was now in front of the ministers, and he had to pay attention to maintaining his image at all times.

Fortunately, Yu Qian was considerate of Zhu Qiyu, and it only took about the same time as the court meeting to complete the entire ceremony, and then sent Zhu Qiyu back to the main hall with the ministers.

There was nothing left to discuss at the court meeting, because Yu Qian and the others had already made a decision in private, and Zhu Qiyu only played a role of nodding and agreeing.

As for the suggestions of those officials, in Qian's words: they have no other role than making noise, and Yu Qian's current power is hot, and he has faintly become the number one person in the court, so naturally no one dares to touch his moldy head.

Even the Taishi Wara first led the army to wander around in Xuanfu and Datong, and Yu Qian and others also arranged it clearly, what they needed to rely on was Zhu Qiyu's prestige as the emperor, and this was also the first time that Zhu Qiyu deeply realized that his prestige was so useful.

The court meeting quickly dispersed, but Zhu Qiyu felt a little bored, so after two yawns, he summoned Ji Ling to the inner study again, ready to have a good chat with his childhood playmate.

The eunuch who came to deliver the message to Ji Ling was called Cheng Jing, who was in his fifties this year, and Zhu Qiyu was served by him to study, so Zhu Qiyu was quite close to him.

It is said that this Cheng Jing was originally a subordinate official of the Jin Palace, but he was implicated in the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, so he was sentenced to corruption and became a eunuch.

Because Cheng Jing was humble and courteous, he was promoted by Zhu Qiyu as his "own person", but in view of the lessons of the eunuchs' chaotic government, Zhu Qiyu did not let him hold a position in the celebrant supervisor, but only transferred him to the internal official supervisor to be responsible for the procurement of the palace, I have to say that Zhu Qiyu is still very cautious about this kind of thing.

When he was a child, Ji Ling often played with Zhu Qiyu, so Cheng Jing was quite familiar with him, so when he saw Ji Ling at this time, he didn't have a strange sense of restraint, "Ji Dudu, the emperor has summoned you again, and I want to talk to you, so let's go with our family!"

” "Hello to my father-in-law!"

Ji Ling knew that Cheng Jing could be regarded as following Zhu Qiyu and Yourongyan, and the people were also old, so Ji Ling didn't dare to slack off, "I'll go with Cheng's father-in-law." ” "Ji Dudu is polite, our family is useless, and you still need to handle everything......

Cheng Jing always smiled, and when he was talking to Ji Ling, he brought him to Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu is a new treasure, and Ji Ling is naturally very respectful when he sees him, but Zhu Qiyu's attitude is very casual, and he directly patted the soft collapse under him and smiled at Ji Ling, "Come here, sit with me!"

” Ji Ling glanced at Cheng Jing behind him, but saw that he had withdrawn in a funny way, and then looked at Zhu Qiyu's sincere smile, Ji Ling no longer had any scruples, replied "Thank you, Your Majesty", and sat down as he said.

"Today's pilgrimage, I don't know why I'm always a little nervous."

Zhu Qiyu saw Ji Ling sitting next to him, so he took the initiative to lean closer to him like he did when he was a child, "It seems that I feel a breath in my chest." ” When Ji Ling heard Zhu Qiyu's last words, for some reason she suddenly remembered that when she had fun with Xu Yushan last night, she hugged her shoulders and whispered in a blurred look, "Brother Ling, you are lighter, I always feel that I can't get up in my breath......"

At this time, Ji Ling was thinking about those embarrassing pictures that made people blush and heartbeat, and there was naturally no door on his mouth, so he asked directly, "Listening to you say this, isn't it a very pleasant thing to be an emperor?"

” "Huh?

Did I say it was fun?

Zhu Qiyu didn't know the twists and turns in Ji Ling's heart, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised by this conclusion he came to, "Actually, you don't know, there are many last resorts to being an emperor, such as my father, who works hard every day for state affairs, is diligent and loves the people, but because he loves to tease crickets in private, some people slander his father as a "cricket emperor" ......"

"Let's talk about me, as soon as I ascended the throne, there were so many miscellaneous things, and if I didn't handle it well, I would definitely be criticized.

You say, if it were you, would you be willing to be this emperor?

” When Ji Ling heard Zhu Qiyu ask this, he couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't you dare to make such a joke." ” Zhu Qiyu also understood that his identity was different from the past, so he put away his playful attitude and sighed, "Actually, I just think that when I was in the palace before, my life was quite happy, so I don't want to add so much trouble." ” Zhu Qiyu said, and remembered that her mother often told herself when she was a child: "People's troubles are all brought by desire, if you don't want so much, can't you live a stable life?"

” Zhu Qiyu knew what her mother Wu meant, she had served by the side of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, since she was a child, but Zhu Gaochu was bent on rebelling and wanting to be the emperor, which not only changed her life, but also changed Wu's life to some extent.

"Your Majesty, just think that this throne is for the people of the world!"

"Well, that's what I thought, too."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, "Maybe the days in the future will make me understand whether my choice is right or not." ”
