Chapter 541: Emperor Hongwu is alive again
Jianwen Former Minister, as a representative of the civil officials and gentry, was sent to the Three Law Divisions to be judged by the whole world...... At this point, all the obstacles that hindered Zhu Di's ascension to the throne were kicked away, and if he continued to be a prisoner of the country with an unjustified name, it would be hypocritical.
And Zhu Di is not a hypocritical person, so the action of supporting the Son of Heaven left to unfold.
In fact, the big guy has been preparing for this day for a long time.
First of all, led by Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, the vassal kings of the clan entered the palace together, and knelt in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Huan said loudly: "The first emperor suddenly gave up, went against the party and coerced Yun Wei, stole the throne, and manipulated the artifact, almost three years. During this period, the law of the first emperor was destroyed, the people were brutalized, the clan was poisoned, the flesh and blood were divided, and the killing was wanton, so that the heavens were angry and the people were resentful, and the people were resentful, and the Ming Dynasty almost collapsed. ”
"Fortunately, Zhu Di, the fourth son of the first emperor, raised volunteers, crusaded against the ministers, and was invincible...... Since entering Beijing last year, the government has been rectified, the chaos has been set right, the traitorous party has been arrested, the people have returned to their hearts, and all the people are happy to work. It is reasonable to succeed to the emperor's throne in order to reassure the people's hearts and determine the overall situation! ”
After Zhu Hu finished speaking, he led the clan vassal king and kowtowed hard, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. The fourth brother finally became the emperor, and since then, his life has been better.
Zhu Hu is not only a person with no ambition, but also a person with great ambitions...... He wanted to write a medical book so that everyone in the world could be healed, and he wanted to raise dolphins so that every family could eat cheap fatty meat.
He is very simple, but he is also very persistent.
With the fourth brother here, on the way to realize his wishes, he has the biggest backer.
Not only that, but in fact, the relationship between the brothers is also the deepest.
In fact, there is still controversy about who gave birth to Zhu Yuanzhang's first few children, and the official statement is that the first three sons, that is, Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li, and the two princesses, were all born to Queen Ma.
But some people say that these princes are actually adopted sons, because of the war, they have been with Queen Ma since they were children, and they are no different from their parents.
If this statement is true, Zhu Di can also be regarded as a son-in-law, but there is a problem, Zhu Di's biological mother Concubine Qi is said to be a Goryeo, Lao Zhu in the war, captured a Goryeo woman, took her to the barracks, and later gave birth to Zhu Di and Zhu Hu.
Although Queen Ma treats her adopted sons equally, because the Goryeo woman is not Han after all, and she was the wife and concubine of a Mongolian nobleman, she fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, and her background is really low, so Zhu Di's background is lower than the other three brothers, and she is not counted as a concubine.
Zhu Di was discriminated against, let alone Zhu Hu.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhu Di was short-tempered, brave and aggressive, and witty and intelligent, which had a lot to do with his background.
Of course, Zhu Hu, who was also from the same background, embarked on a completely different path, so an iron rod can be sharpened into a needle, and if it is a wooden stick, it can only be ground into a toothpick.
"Lonely virtue is shallow, how can I inherit the unification, I hope that you virtuous brothers, choose a new king!"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked them to withdraw.
Zhu Hu knew very well that this was a necessary drama, and he didn't care, and led the kings to retreat. Like King Qi and King Ning, they all secretly poked and thought, it sounds good, you want to choose a new king, believe it or not, if one of us is promoted, you Zhu Di can be mad!
They thought so, but as soon as they came out, they met the second wave of people, this time it was the civil and military ministers, who supported Zhu Di to ascend the throne together.
On the side of the generals, there are Rongguo Gong Zhang Yu, Qi Guo Gong Qiu Fu, Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng, Dingguo Gong Xu Zengshou, and a large number of other generals.
On the side of the civil officials, Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Jian Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yao Guangxiao, the imperial history of the Zuodu, and many ministers, persuaded them together.
These feudal kings took a look and shrunk their necks, if they really pushed them, these Qiu Eight Masters could tear them apart, see no, Qiu Fu's eyes are like copper bells, that's called a fierce one!
I have to say that Zhu Di has really accumulated a lot of proud soldiers over the years, and his subordinates are full of talents.
After these people entered, the time was a little longer than that of the clan, but they also withdrew in the end.
At the end, the main event finally came. The common people arranged by Liu Chun arrived, these ordinary people were not ordinary, they came from all provinces, and there were military households on the nine sides, and everyone knelt down together, there were thousands of people.
"I respectfully invite His Royal Highness King Yan to ascend the throne and inherit the unification!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan has returned to the hearts of all the people, and he has great martial arts."
"Please King Yan to succeed to the throne, the people of the world are looking forward to this day!"
……
Finally, the face of the people in the world is big enough, Zhu Di pondered for a long time before he "reluctantly" agreed, and then the people left the palace happily.
The Ministry of Rites has been prepared, and Zhu Di's enthronement ceremony is placed on the third day of the fifth month.
Who will preside over this ceremony has become the focus of attention of all parties, and who doesn't want to take this opportunity to win the favor of Xinjun.
It's a pity that these people don't even think about it.
Zhu Di directly announced that he would let the young master Liu Chun preside over the ceremony, and the reason was also very sufficient, many years ago, Liu Chun presided over the first emperor's longevity ceremony, that time the scene was unprecedentedly magnificent, the first emperor was very satisfied, and over the years, people have been mentioning it constantly.
Liu Chun has enough experience and status, he will preside over it without the slightest doubt.
Now there is only one trouble left, that is, does Liu Chun have the ability to surpass himself?
If it's just a repetition, it's not a big deal.
For this, Liu Chun didn't care very much, he seemed confident.
The whole ceremony is divided into three days, the first day is His Majesty to the filial piety tomb to pay tribute to the emperor, welcome the jade seal, and announce the succession. The next day, a review of the naval and land armies was held. In the morning it was cavalry and infantry, and in the afternoon it was a naval division. Just on the Yangtze River, a comprehensive display of the magnificence of my Ming sailor, there will be envoys from all over the world to watch the ceremony, and offer gifts, to the new monarch to congratulate. ”
"On the third day, it is a parade of the people, and the minister arranged for people from all walks of life to come to meet the king, and at night on the front line along the river, there will be a lively fireworks display, which is guaranteed to feast the eyes of the army and the people."
Zhu Di listened patiently and laughed with satisfaction, "Some people say that you can't play tricks, this kind of large-scale celebration, only you can handle it, and only your arrangement can satisfy me." Zhu Di pondered for a while, "Liu Chun, now that the treasury is too poor, you are tossing so much, is it too much to spend?" ”
Liu Chun said with a smile: "The first emperor also asked me this way. ”
"And what do you say?"
"The money that should be spent, must be spent, this ceremony, I want to highlight two words, one is the army, the other is the people! It is easy to destroy the group of scholars, and it is not difficult to revoke their privileges. But then, such a big country, so many things, a thousand things. As the Son of Heaven, he must directly talk to the people, and he must shorten the distance with the people. It is necessary to let the people understand what their identity is, and let the word Daming be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! ”
Someone may ask, isn't Yoo Chun telling a joke?
It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang is so diligent in governance, and there are still people who don't know that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty?
Don't really raise the bar, in an agrarian society, the biggest feature is stability, among all the people, ninety percent are peasants, and ninety percent are illiterate, multiply these two ninety percent together, most of the people are neither literate nor have ever left their hometowns.
The farthest distance they had was to go to the county seat to buy some salt, and as for the rest, they all relied on their own labor and were self-sufficient.
If you ask the people, most of them will tell you which family they belong to, or which village, and as for what the Ming Dynasty is, it is not clear at all.
What's even more terrifying is that the countryside is almost a cultural desert, occasionally during the New Year's Festival, there is a temple fair, please come to the book and sing the opera, ten miles and eight towns will come all the way.
After watching the performance, I can talk about the first half of the year with relish.
In this case, how can you expect the common people to understand the country and the world!
"Get rid of the gentry, promote the equalization of land, educate the people, and establish a sense of state...... This is a complete set of projects, and all of them are indispensable. Otherwise, the old gentry will only be eliminated and new gentry will emerge. The vast areas of the countryside, if the imperial court did not occupy them, did not go deeper, they would fall into the hands of the gentry. Holding a ceremony will cost some, even a lot, but if you can twist the world into a rope, it is actually very worthwhile. ”
"What's more...... Aren't there so many overseas feudal states! You can scrape oil from them, and in all these years, I haven't done a loss-making business. ”
Zhu Di looked at Liu Chun and sighed, "You, you are indeed scheming, you have calculated everything, no wonder your father scolds you every day, I want to kill you, but I am reluctant to kill, you kid is one set after another...... Alas, in that case, I won't say anything, just wait for the ceremony. Zhu Di stretched and prepared to rest.
"Don't be busy, there's one more thing."
Zhu Di was puzzled, Liu Chun got up, asked him to come out, and the monarch and ministers went straight to the back of the palace, just near the imperial garden, where Zhu Gaochi was waiting.
"Son to see father."
"You're welcome, let's say, what tricks did your master and apprentice play?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled and invited Zhu Di to the front of a building!
"Chunhui Palace!"
Zhu Di was taken aback, he subconsciously walked in, only to see a portrait of a woman hanging in the middle of the lobby, she was beautiful and kind, looking ahead with a smile.
Zhu Di saw the portrait, and tears flowed out in an instant.
"Mother!"
He threw himself to his knees and wept silently.
This Chunhui Palace is the place to commemorate Zhu Di's biological mother, Concubine Qi.
"Actually, grandma is Mongolian, she is the daughter of a Mongolian general, and the imperial grandfather snatched her to her side, because she was outstanding, she was favored by the imperial grandfather."
Zhu Gaochi's words finally revealed the mystery of Zhu Di's biological mother, think about it, if Zhu Di's biological mother is a Goryeo, then why is there no record in the Goryeo history books, you must know that even the queen of Emperor Yuan Shun has been arranged into a TV series, and it has been blown into a rare love through the ages.
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di come here, and there was no record at all?
Obviously, the statement of the Goryeo people is not true, but the Mongols are a lot more reliable.
"Master, do you think you can posthumously crown the Queen Mother and let grandma also enjoy the supreme glory?"
Zhu Gaochi was asking, when a voice suddenly came from the door, "No need! Zhu Di had already walked out of it, his eyes were slightly red, and he had obviously cried.
walked up to Yoo Chun and patted him on the shoulder.
"You can help me prepare this Chunhui Palace, very attentively. It's not easy for her, and I will come to see her from time to time. But the remnants of Mongolia are still the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty, as the Son of Heaven, I can't give too much to my mother, so as not to disturb the national policy of the court...... And I want to announce to the outside world that I am the concubine of Empress Xiaoci! ”
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, obviously he had a biological mother, but he couldn't recognize each other, it was too unkind, right?
Zhu Di pinched his son's fat face, "Okay, don't be sad, your father is the Son of Heaven, when will the Son of Heaven be able to do whatever he wants, you also remember to me, everywhere you must focus on state affairs and the world!" ”
Zhu Gaochi grinned bitterly, is this an acknowledgment of his identity as a prince?
Why can't you be a little happy?
Zhu Gaochi looked at his father's departing back stupidly, and then looked at Liu Chun, "Master, what do you think?" ”
Liu Chun smiled meaningfully, "I saw the figure of the first emperor, and the Hongwu Emperor is alive again!" ”
