Chapter 6: Big News

The so-called divine right of the monarch, Emperor Chongzhen has never been so optimistic. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he hid a sharp sword when he slept, and he had to bring it from the palace for dinner, and he didn't dare to eat anything from the palace. The road to power is sinister and extraordinary, there are swords and swords everywhere, where is what is the divine right of kings, and the inheritance of ancestors can be explained simply?

Perhaps recalling many past events, Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time. He exhaled lightly and said slowly: "The authority of the Son of Heaven is of course blessed by the supreme glory of the divine power of the monarch and passed down from generation to generation. But at the end of the day, you need to be strong. Those who are strong in mind have the art of the emperor in one mind, and the wise man of the middle man plays with power and deceives in order to maintain it. Compared with the previous dynasties, the system of my Ming Dynasty is stable, and although the emperor's authority is unsatisfactory, it will not be as controlled by the eunuchs of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

In the final analysis, Zhu Cihong has the right to inherit the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen, and his legitimacy is undoubted, and the source of power is extraordinarily orthodox. In this case, even if someone intends to instigate Emperor Chongzhen's restoration, there is no chance of victory, let alone the rest of the messy chickens and dogs.

"Erchen sometimes thinks that Erchen and his future children and grandchildren are, in the final analysis, just a group of second ancestors with different identities. It is no different from those rich children who inherit thousands of acres of fertile land in their families. But a lot of times, Erchen still thinks. Why is it this man who inherits this fertile land, and not anyone else? Because of the primogeniture system. Because the person who survived, of course, should be the one who kept this family business. Therefore, congenitally speaking, there is a Confucian patriarchal law to protect our eldest son. The day after tomorrow also requires personal effort. Zhu Cihong took a deep breath and said: "A person's destiny, of course, depends on self-struggle, but it also has to take into account the course of history. Father, the world has changed. Confucianism...... I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the descendants of the Zhu Ming royal family. ”

Zhu Cihong still has a lot to say.

For example, he did not mention that in a few decades, there would be a country in the world without an emperor.

For example, feudal Confucianism will collapse in the face of innovative productive forces.

At that time, the meaning of the existence of the royal family may only come from the maintenance of tradition by the empire and the love of the people for the royal family......

Of course, at this time, Zhu Cihong mentioned these things too long.

But this did not prevent Zhu Cihong from preparing these in advance.

"Hong'er is out of the palace this time...... Zhu Youzhen listened, and couldn't help but think of the first time Zhu Cihong left the palace.

That time, Zhu Cihong left the palace to save the empire.

At different times, at that time, the empire was troubled internally and externally, and although it was difficult to solve them one by one, they finally knew what went wrong.

But now, the world has been peaceful for a long time, what disaster does Zhu Cihong see?

Zhu Youzhen savored it carefully and guessed something.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment." Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Fathers and sons believed in the loyalty of their ministers to the empire. Erchen also believes that Erchen can maintain such loyalty. As for the rest...... The retainers will tell their father with their actions. ”

At this moment, the two of them walked and stopped on a high platform. This is a high platform in the Forbidden City, standing here, not only can you see the palace in the palace, but also you can see the pavilions of the houses in the city in the eyes one after another, open your arms, it seems that you can embrace the world.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Youzhen stood side by side, looking at the world, Zhu Youzhen patted Zhu Cihong's shoulder heavily: "I am looking forward to my father, what is the appearance of a new era that belongs to Hong'er." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded heavily, his eyes bloomed, and he suddenly became arrogant.

……

In the Purple Light Pavilion, Zhu Cihong watched the eunuchs and palace maids busy and sent the picture scrolls into the palace.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Rites organized a group of painters to draw portraits of the heroes who had made meritorious contributions in the past four years in the war, and a short description was attached below.

After Zhu Cihong found out, he sent these portraits and the portraits of the key battles that he temporarily requested to be added to the Ziguang Pavilion for worship.

At the moment, the eunuchs and palace maids are obviously busy placing these picture scrolls one by one.

When these busy tasks were over, Si En saw that the situation was good, and shouted to start.

His Majesty the Emperor stood in front of the group portraits of the previous wars, under the throne, watching the officials line up from the Forbidden City to the Ziguang Pavilion in Xiyuan.

This is all the officials in Beijing lining up.

Zhu Cihong smiled gently, and the handsome palace maids around him held trays and put red envelopes one after another. When the red envelope is picked up, the voice vibrates slightly, making a pleasant sound. Those who know how to understand what this is when they hear it, inside, it is filled with gold leaves.

At the same time, the Chinese military officials in Beijing began to line up to join the ranks.

Li Banghua, Yang Wenyue, and Ni Yuanlu lined up one by one, bowed and saluted, and Zhu Cihong smiled and handed over the red envelope in his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the start of work, and the New Year is auspicious." ”

"Long live my emperor, thank you, Your Majesty." Li Banghua accepted it with a smile.

Afterwards, one by one, the officials entered one after another, such as Li Banghua, who often saw His Majesty the Emperor, but fortunately, kept calm. But the rest of the officials were surprised to hear that they could see His Majesty the Emperor and personally receive the New Year's red envelope from His Majesty the Emperor.

You must know that the number of civil and military officials in Beijing is not more than tens of thousands?

But Zhu Cihong's will is very clear, the first day of the first day of the new year arrives, the holiday is over, and everyone can get a prepared start profit from His Majesty the Emperor.

Inside, there are two golden gold leaves.

The gold leaf is very small, less than one or two weights, but it is an extraordinary carving, very delicate, and if it is pawned, it can be worth at least ten taels of silver. But obviously, even the poorest Beijing officials will take this New Year's red envelope given by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

The long queue lasted from early morning to evening, and the palace also served the boxed lunches of the hundred officials as a matter of course.

It wasn't until Zhu Cihong knew that his cheeks were so stiff that he couldn't feel the taste, and Zhu Cihong saw the last official in line: Dali Temple Qing Yuanqian.

The order of queuing is basically first-come, first-served, and Yuan Qian returned to Beijing from Liaodong, which happened to be in time.

"Long live my emperor, thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Qian smiled.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "It's finally over." Happy New Year, new year, and create brilliance with the ranking family. ”

After that, Zhu Cihong can finally go back to the palace to rest.

Early the next morning, I finished the New Year's red envelope. Zhu Cihong called Li Banghua, Yang Wenyue and important ministers in Beijing, and as soon as he saw everyone, Zhu Cihong smiled narrowly: "This time, I am going to make a big news again." ”
