I have to say that the early dynasty is really a very hard thing, the minister who lives far away has to get up at three o'clock in the morning to prepare, although the hour square where Xu Jin lives is close to the imperial city, but at the latest he has to get up at about four o'clock, the sky is not yet bright at this time, it is better when the weather is hot in summer, if it is a cold winter, the taste is really sour enough.

It's the end of August, the end of mid-autumn, the temperature in the morning is not too low, the clothes are thicker, and the dry and cold air in the morning is very refreshing.

Xu Jin got rid of Cai Yushi, who was trying to be in the limelight, and walked to the left side of the noon gate near the left door.

It is worth mentioning here that the city tower of the noon gate is also called the five phoenix towers, there are only three gates on the surface, but in fact there are five gates, that is, the so-called "dark three dark five", the noon gate in the middle is the royal road, only the emperor can walk, the two gates in the left are for the guards on duty, and there is a secret door on the east and west sides, called the left door and the right door. When the court was in place, the ministers entered from the left door, and the princes and military generals entered from the right door.

For Xu Jin, he is not only a civil official in the class, but also the grandfather of Yasukuni, so he is an old man at will, he enters from the left door, and if he wants to go to the right door, he can also go to the right door, even the most powerful trolls can't find a reason to spray him.

Of course, Xu Jin has always positioned himself as a civil official, so he took the left door.

At about five o'clock in the morning, the sky in the east was white, the three drums on the city tower sounded, the ministers of the civil and military two classes were in front of the door to line up, after the bell rang, they entered from the left gate and the right gate respectively, and the line was arranged according to the rank in front of the Jinshui Bridge, and then the mighty passed through the Jinshui Bridge, and came to the Danqi in front of the Fengtian Gate.

Although Xu Jin is ranked as the prince of the country, he is from a professional class, and he is a civil servant who is a serious child, so he naturally stands in the queue of Wenchen. However, in this way, it is a bit tricky to arrange Xu Jin's standing order.

First of all, this is the queue of civil officials, and it is natural to arrange the position according to the position of the civil official, however, Xu Jin has a respected title of national prince but has no real position, and the position of the former secretary of the military department was occupied by Wu Wending.

So what to do? Is Grandpa Yasukuni standing in front of the six bigwigs, or behind?

In front of the six ministries is the four elders of the cabinet, Xu Jin is not a cabinet minister, if it seems inappropriate to stand in front of the six ministries, but it is also inappropriate to stand behind the six ministries, because Xu Jin was a scholar-level existence before, not to mention that he is still holding the title of Taibao of Zhengyipin, although it is a false position, but if you really want to talk about the rank, it is higher than the first assistant Jin Xianmin.

The Honglu Temple officials who were in charge of the whole team struggled for a while, and finally had a flash of inspiration and put Xu Jin alone into a team, alongside the team of the six departments. The six columns of the six departments of the people are Shangshu, the left squire, the right squire, and the middle of each division, but the back of Xu Jin is empty, and he has become a unique commander of the light pole, which is really eye-catching.

Fortunately, Governor Xu has never seen any storms, and although he is the commander of the light pole, he is still calm.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the bell and drum division played drum music, Jiajing ascended the throne on the golden platform in front of the Fengtian Gate, and after the worship of the hundred officials, the early dynasty officially began.

I saw that Jiajing on the throne was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, looking a little tired, obviously not resting very well at night, but in fact, he almost didn't sleep all night, and people who have something on their minds are prone to insomnia!

"Everyone's family is flat!" Jiajing raised his hand slightly and said in a deep voice, and his eyes naturally fell on Xu Jin in the Wenchen team.

At this time, Xu Jin just stood up, his gaze met Jiajing, and the latter's eyes suddenly wandered away.

Xu Jin frowned imperceptibly, although it was only a subtle facial movement, but he was still sensitive to Jiajing's abnormality, of course, Xu Jin was not an immortal who could pinch and calculate, so naturally he couldn't guess that someone had dug a pit for him, just waiting for him to rush in and die!

At this time, Bi Chun, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, stepped forward with a whisk of dust and preached loudly: "Xuan-Jigong Deyasu, Takeda Genshin, Mori Motosa, Date Munemasa, and Oda Hideyoshi stepped forward to meet him!" ”

Xu Jin sent troops to Dongying this time, not only quelled the rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son, but also deposed the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and even brought the five kings of the Wa Kingdom back to the Ming Dynasty to meet the Son of Heaven and accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven, which is undoubtedly an extremely long-faced thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, this morning, the Ministry of Rites specially arranged for the five kings of the Japanese Kingdom to visit the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow, and specially invited the envoys of various countries to watch, in order to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, deter a number of subject countries, and at the same time, just by the way, save the face lost due to the cancellation of the princess's wedding yesterday.

Jiajing suddenly perked up, subconsciously straightened his waist, and waited for the five kings of the Japanese Kingdom to come forward to worship.

Soon, Orishin Miko, Date Somasa, Takeda Genshin, Mori Motoyoshi, and the little kid Jinomiya Tokuyasu were taken to the altar in front of the throne.

At this time, Orishin Miko and the others all changed into the standard official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, and prostrated on the ground respectfully, worshipping the Great Tomorrow according to the procedure rehearsed yesterday afternoon.

After Orishin Miko and the others finished bowing three times and nine times, Jiajing began a majestic lecture, the content of which was to the effect that the monarch of a small barbarian country dared to call himself the emperor? In the future, you can't be called the emperor again, change your name to the king of Japan, and you must honestly be the little brother of the Ming Dynasty, give dates if you are obedient, eat your fists if you are disobedient, and if you dare to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, you will be beaten!

Jiajing's "speech" is from the hand of Hanlin scholar Xia Yan, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the momentum is compelling, it is catchy to read, and it is sonorous and powerful, not only Jiajing reads it comfortably, the minister also listens comfortably, only the envoys of those subject countries are silent.

It is no wonder that the Japanese are far away in the East, and have always been dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, not only dissatisfied, but even sent the Japanese to rob the Ming coast all the year round, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, more than 150 years have not stopped!

And now, not only did the Wa Kingdom cede land and pay compensation to the Ming Dynasty, but even the emperor was arrested and abolished in public in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and this deterrent effect can be imagined.

Just imagine, when the American Yankees attacked Iraq, they arrested and sentenced all the presidents of other countries to hanging, exaggerated, it is estimated that a considerable number of heads of state in the world at that time would have restless sleep.

There is no way, you must know that Iraq at that time claimed to be the fourth in the world's military power, but it was destroyed in less than a month, and in the end the president had nowhere to run, can the heads of state not be afraid, can they not be afraid? At that time, Uncle Sam was too powerful, he would hit whoever he said, and he would arrest whoever he said, regardless of whether you were the Führer or a civilian.

In the same way, at this time, the Ming Dynasty arrested the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom and abolished the Ming Dynasty, and its deterrent effect was even greater!

Jiajing finished his speech majestically, and he was refreshed!

After the big stick was beaten, it was time to give the carrots, and Jiajing then announced that Jimiya Tokuyasu would be crowned King of Japan, Takeda Genshin as King of the East, Mori Motoshi as King of the West, Date Somasa as the King of the North, and Oda Hideyoshi as the King of the South.

When a series of complicated canonization ceremonies were completed, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, from three o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the morning, almost seven hours, most of the people stood with sore legs and numb feet, and Xu Jin was naturally no exception.

Fortunately, Jiajing finally sympathized with the minister, and immediately announced his retirement from the court after the canonization ceremony, and the officials went back to rest and drink a cup of tea, and then continued the discussion at noon.
