A twelve-year-old child can be so hypocritical, which can be regarded as a wonder in the world.

Zhu Houxi's salute is very standard and strict, with the appearance of treating Qin Kan as a national soldier, first putting his clothes straight, and then throwing himself to the ground towards Qin Kan, his face is more serious than worshipping his ancestors.

Qin Kan sighed in his heart. After all, he is a child, and he is still a little worse off in terms of hypocrisy, and he said so righteously just now, as if he didn't care about the appearance of the throne at all, he turned around and thanked this and that with the attitude of a monarch, and couldn't wait to declare his ownership of the country.

Countless people's eyes stared at the two, and Qin Kan hurriedly returned the salute with a flattered look.

"His Royal Highness praises falsely, and the minister is ashamed."

Zhu Houxi straightened up and looked around at the ministers, and said slowly: "Ning Guogong was born poor, Hongzhi entered the Jinyi Guard in the seventeenth year, Liaodong eliminated traitors, fought the Liaohe River, built Tianjin, and opened the sea to ban these exploits are well known to the world, this king will not mention it, when he was appointed to the inner city of Nanjing when he was ordered to go to Chongming Island to fight against the Japanese invaders, the enemy army was large, and when my Ming Wei was defeated like a mountain, Qin Kan led more than 70 captains under his command to support the battle situation alone, and finally killed the Japanese Kou on the beach, and raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty. Shall this king not be treated as a soldier? ”

No matter what the surrounding ministers thought in their hearts, they all smiled and agreed.

The corners of Qin Kan's eyes jumped again.

It seems that before Zhu Houxi set off for Beijing, he had done a very strict investigation of himself, and the things he had done were like a number of treasures, and it was glory to hear in the ears of others, but Qin Kan always had a feeling of being remembered by thieves......

"It's not worthy of the name, it's mostly a rumor. The minister is ashamed and does not have many merits. Qin Kan made up his mind and was humble to the end.

Zhu Houxi stared at Qin Kan for a while, then suddenly grabbed his hand, patted it, and said, "Why should Ning Guogong be too humble, how many things you have done for Daming Sheji, everyone in the world sees it." ”

"Minister...... Ashamed. ”

The two of them came and went, praising each one for their modesty and one for their hard work, and after greeting a small half-pillar of incense, the two finally finished their performances and completed an actor-level performance in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

Zhu Houxi stood on tiptoe and gently patted Qin Kan's shoulder. Turning to Yang Tinghe, he said, "Where does this king live after entering the city?" ”

On the question of Zhu Houxi's whereabouts. As early as before Zhu Houxi entered Beijing, the cabinet and officials of the Ministry of Rites had already agreed, and Yang Tinghe bowed unhurriedly and said: "His Royal Highness has not yet ascended the throne, according to the system, he needs to enter the palace from Cheng'an Gate and temporarily live in the Wenhua Palace." ”

Zhu Houxi's smile froze. His eyes suddenly became very displeased.

Cheng'an Gate is the south gate of the Imperial Palace. If the palace is compared to the residence of a large family. Cheng'an Gate is the side door of the house, the Ming Dynasty has always been the Son of Heaven must live in the Qianqing Palace, and the Wenhua Hall is the office of the cabinet scholars. At best, it is a guest room, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites agreed that Zhu Houxi can only enter the palace through the Cheng'an Gate and live in the Wenhua Palace, which is equivalent to the owner of the house can only enter through the side door, and can only live in the guest room, which is obviously in line with etiquette but not in line with feelings.

Zhu Houxi's displeased look fell on Yang Tinghe and the ministers, and everyone smiled bitterly in their hearts.

The Confucian etiquette system was set by Confucius more than 2,000 years ago, especially the royal etiquette system, which is even more one-size-fits-all, and can not make a slight mistake, otherwise it will be criticized by the world's scholars, and it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of deception and stealing the world after ascending the throne in the future.

The atmosphere of the monarch and the ministers who had just been rendered happy like a fish in water suddenly froze at this moment.

Zhu Houxi stopped, and his tone was already a little cold: "Mr. Yang, the king's succession to the throne was agreed upon by the ministers of the court, and the general administration department issued a document to Anlu Prefecture, this king according to the full etiquette system, set off with the honor guard of the vassal king, after nearly two months, the wind and dust servants rushed to Beijing, since the Manchu Dynasty civil and military has decided that the king is the successor to the throne, the identity of this king is not only the king of An Luxing, but the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Emperor Daming entered the palace without going to Chengtianmen and going to Cheng'an Gate, not entering the Qianqing Palace and entering the Wenhua Palace, Mr. Yang, I am not stealing the throne of the princes, but the dignified future Son of Heaven, the ministers of Beijing treat each other like this, how can Mr. teach me? ”

Yang Tinghe's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Before the enthronement ceremony, His Royal Highness was still only His Royal Highness, not His Majesty, His Royal Highness could only go to Cheng'an Gate, live in the Qianqing Palace, and ascend the throne in the future, and then live in the Qianqing Palace after announcing the world, this is the royal etiquette, and the monarch and the minister cannot violate it." ”

A spark of anger burst out in Zhu Houxi's eyes, and he stared at Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe bowed silently, and the surrounding ministers did not dare to speak, and the cold atmosphere was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder.

After a long stalemate, Zhu Houxi took a deep breath and said: "Zi said: If the name is not right, the word is not good, this king went to Beijing thousands of miles away, but he could only enter the palace through Cheng'an Gate, temporarily live in the Wenhua Palace, and spread it to the world, isn't it suspected of stealing the throne?" This throne is not enough, ladies and gentlemen, this king has taken his leave. ”

After speaking, Zhu Houxi turned around and walked towards the chariot, his expression was extremely resolute.

The corners of the eyes of several scholars in the cabinet jumped sharply, and they looked at each other, and found that there was anxiety in each other's eyes.

The heirs of the emperor of the Zhu family are not prosperous, but the prince of the Zhu family is very capable, and he is not allowed to go out in the city every day, and there is no entertainment in this era, except for listening to music and watching juggling, there is only one left to bully men and women, and if he is idle, what else can he do? Of course, there are countless maidens who can only be locked up in the palace, so there are naturally countless children. Zhu Houxi didn't care if he left, and the prince who was waiting to be the emperor was waiting in a long queue all night like buying a train ticket for the Spring Festival.

But Zhu Houxi is the first heir to the throne, he left this prince angrily and replaced him with another prince to be the emperor, things are easy to do, but it will be ugly to hear, and it will reach the ears of the world's scholars, who knows what it will be exaggerated? How strong is the power of the ministers in the Jingshi court that this prince doesn't even want to be the emperor, and he walks away without entering the city gate? At that time, the world was spread all around, where was the face of the courtiers in Beijing?

Compared with the consequences of this strict zhòng, does it still matter what door you enter the palace and which palace you live in?

Zhu Houxi took three or four steps, and after several scholars in the cabinet and Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, exchanged glances with each other, Yang Tinghe hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Your Highness, please stay, you can do your best, and the ministers are willing to welcome Your Highness to enter the palace from Chengtianmen and live in the Qianqing Palace." ”

Zhu Houxi quickly stopped, and when he turned around again, his face was full of innocent and innocent smiles.

"Hou Xi is young and ignorant, too nonsense, fortunately the ministers do not give up, and Hou Xi is here to make amends."

"His Royal Highness's words are serious, and the ministers are terrified."

The two sides shook each other to the ground, and started an actor-level performance again, which was a prosperous atmosphere of kings, saints, and sages.

********************************************************************

Zhu Houxi's insistence was exchanged for the courtiers' attention, and everyone finally realized that the mind of this twelve-year-old child was obviously extremely inconsistent with his age.

No matter what kind of faction the courtiers have, what kind of grievances they have with each other, on the contest between the monarch and the ministers, everyone's position is united, since the Ming cabinet system matured, the minister's power has always been above the monarch's power, and now a twelve-year-old child has ascended the throne as the emperor, theoretically speaking, children of this age should be the easiest to control, but Zhu Houxi has not yet entered the city gate, and his cousin has slapped the courtiers with a loud slap.

Zhu Houxi swaggered into the palace and stayed in the Qianqing Palace, but the mood of the ministers became very heavy.

An emperor who is not easy to control is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing for the ministers of the court, there is a Zhu Houzhao who does not buy it in front of him has troubled everyone for 14 years, and now a younger and seemingly more difficult emperor has emerged, how many storms will be set off in the court in the future?

…………

The autumn breeze carried a little bleakness, wantonly blowing the dead leaves on the ground, and before winter, the capital division had a bit of a chill.

On the third day of Zhu Houxi's entry into the palace, after settling down, when the palace gate was about to fall in the evening, two people came from the north and south directions in front of the Chengtian Gate.

The figures of the two shrank a little, as if they were hiding from something, sneaky, and finally met in the empty square in front of Chengtianmen, and at first glance, the two couldn't help but be taken aback.

"It's you!" The two of them spoke in unison, their expressions becoming more and more flickering.

"Jinyi Weinan Town, Fu Si, Fu Si Zhen Fu Envoy Qian Ning, I have seen General Jiang."

"Hehe, Lord Qian is exempt from courtesy......"

The two of them arched their hands to each other without smiling, and glanced at each other with suspicion.

Qian Ning looked up at the sky, couldn't help but show a little anxiety, and didn't care about hiding at the moment, he lifted the hem of the official robe, knelt in front of the vermilion huge palace, and said respectfully to the little eunuch on duty outside the door: "Minister, Jinyi Wei calmed Qian Ning, kneeling and begging to see Tianyan......"

Before the words could be spoken, another voice came more anxiously.

"Minister, Xuanfu guerrilla leader Wu Yi General Jiang Bin, kneel and beg to see the face of heaven."

The little eunuch at the door frowned and looked at the two, he was a cronie eunuch brought by Zhu Houyu from the Anlu Prefecture Palace, Zhu Houyu's accession to the throne is imminent, and the little eunuch's heart is high, as a minister of Conglong, the position of the palm seal of the celebrant may not be his turn in the future, but the position of the eunuch with the hall, His Royal Highness will always reward him, right?

A mere pacification envoy and a guerrilla general, how can he be qualified to see the emperor? Even though you are an emperor who has not yet ascended the throne, you are not good enough.

Just as he was about to be reprimanded, two ingots of twenty taels of silver fell into the hands of the little eunuch.

"I would like to ask my father-in-law to report that Qian wants to report to His Royal Highness King Xing about the safety of the society."

Jiang Bin hurriedly said: "Jiang also has something extremely important......

The little eunuch was slightly surprised, his expression was quickly a little strict, his little eyes blinked a few times, nodded at the two, and turned around to report to the palace.

Not long after, the figure of the little eunuch flashed out from the palace gate again.

"His Royal Highness summoned Qian Ning Jiangbin to the Wenhua Hall to speak."
