After returning to Beijing, in addition to meeting Wang Xian and releasing the old people in the East Palace, the prince's main energy was focused on the future affairs of Emperor Daxing. Although Emperor Daxing has been dead for more than a month, the crown prince has not returned, and many things cannot be carried out, so he can only be put there temporarily.

The first is to give the Daxing Emperor and Empress Xianrenxiao the honorific title, the first empress is the daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the biological mother of the three Zhu Gaoxu brothers, who have always treated the three sons equally, and is not as partial as Zhu Di. Zhu Gaoxu also remembered this mother who died early for more than ten years, and discussed it for several days with officials of the Ministry of Rites and scholars, and every word must be investigated, so as to achieve perfection, before he set the honor of "benevolence, filial piety, kindness, sincerity, and Mingzhuang to match the Empress Shengwen of Tianqi".

For the name of the Daxing Emperor and the temple number, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the scholars were under great pressure. They naturally knew that the father and son had no flesh and blood relationship for twenty years, and the behavior of the prince after returning to Beijing did not seem to have any intention of letting go of grievances. The temple number of this coffin will become the object of the prince's venting, no one can be sure.

After some private entanglement, the Ministry of Rites played, and it was planned to be the Emperor of Daxing, and he said, "Emperor Titian Hongdao, Gao Ming, Guangyuan, Shengwu Shengong, Pure Benevolence to Emperor Xiaowen", and the temple number "Taizong", which is for Emperor Taizongwen!

'Taizong', the second generation of emperors of the dynasty, and 'Wen', longitude and latitude of heaven and earth, benevolence and love for the people, cultivation of virtue and far-reaching, all nations are constitutional, strong and not violent, and the four voices and teachings are also. It's a first-class virtue.

Originally, the ministers secretly thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would reject this good idea, and when the time came, he would report it to another 'martial arts', and the prince would be embarrassed to reject it. The word 'martial' is a sycalypse, which is naturally far inferior to 'Wen', but it is also appropriate for the life of the emperor of Daxing, and it is not a bad scold. This is just a small measure of officialdom to deal with the boss.

Surprisingly, however, the prince did not dwell on this, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites submitted it and immediately approved it. This made the ministers greatly relieved, not only the name of the first emperor and the temple number have been settled, but the key is that this seems to indicate that His Royal Highness the crown prince has realized that it is not beneficial to vent his dissatisfaction with the first emperor at will.

Next, it was the ministers, the old foreign envoys, and the monks and humanists who took turns to persuade them, but they were all rejected by the prince with grief and unbearable. The ministers, the old foreign envoys, and the monks and humanists 'had no choice' to bow down outside the West Garden, and knelt down and begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think of the common people in the world and stop indulging in personal grief. Don't go back to the Sacred Heart, let's be in heaven as soon as possible!

The prince had to reluctantly agree, and the monarch and the ministers were opposed, crying bitterly, but they were all relieved in their hearts, and they were all relieved, and they could be regarded as having finished this great drama of persuasion. The Ministry of Rites immediately arranged the ceremony, and only told Heaven and Earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji, that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the emperor. God naturally will not object, this can be regarded as 'ordered by heaven'.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Tianjian immediately looked at the day, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other yamen also went all out, to catch up with the auspicious day, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was prepared, although the body of the emperor Daxing is not cold, naturally can not do a big deal, but in just a few days to achieve complete etiquette, no omissions, but it is definitely not an easy task.

No, on the place of the enthronement ceremony, there was a fierce dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jin Chun believed that it should be held in the Forbidden City, but the Honglu Temple Qing believed that the three major halls are still in ruins, and it is unsightly to hold them in the Forbidden City, and should be held in Xiyuan, in front of the spirit of the Emperor Daxing.

The Ministry of Rites insisted that the succession of the unification must be held in the Forbidden City, even if the three major halls have been in ruins and the Qianqing Palace is still intact, the ceremony can still be held!

There are even officials who believe that they should go back to Nanjing to hold the enthronement ceremony, after all, the three emperors before the Ming Dynasty were all enthroned in Nanjing, and the imperial palace in Nanjing is intact......

In the end, the dispute could not be settled, so he could only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to approve it, Zhu Gaochi actually liked the third plan, but he also knew that it was not realistic at all. After some muttering, he said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "I have made up my mind to hold a ceremony in the Forbidden City." ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Jin Chun glanced at Honglu Siqing with some pride, and said loudly: "Then it will be in the Qianqing Palace......"

"It's not the Qianqing Palace, it's the Fengtian Palace." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice.

"It's Fengtian ......" Jin Chunshun said halfway, looked at Zhu Gaochi puzzled, and said: "Your Highness, after the Fengtian Temple burned down, it has not been rebuilt, and it is still in ruins......

"Lone will ascend the throne before the ruins!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said categorically: "I just want the courtiers to understand that my Ming Dynasty is now in ruins, and if it deteriorates one step further, it will become a ruin!" ”

"This, Your Highness......" Jin Chun and the others were shocked, how could there be any reason to hold a ceremony in front of the ruins?

"Say no more, it's decided!" Zhu Gaochi said categorically......

Now it is the largest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the location of the enthronement ceremony can only be done according to his wishes. The officials of the Ministry of Rites tried their best to make the ceremony solemn and beautiful, but also not to disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and finally set up the throne and the golden curtain in front of the Fengtian Gate. Immediately afterwards, Qin Tianjian set the time drum, Shang Bao Si set up the treasure case, and the Jiaofang Division set up Zhonghe Shao Music without doing it. Everyone began to be busy in the dark, and finally on the eve of the main hall, all preparations were ready.

In the early morning of the day of the ceremony, the prince wore filial piety clothes to worship heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji under the guidance of Yousi, and then took off his filial piety clothes under the service of the eunuchs, and wore the crown clothes made by the Clothes and Hats and Needle Work Bureau.

At this time, the ministers and hundreds of officials had already entered the noon gate in their court uniforms, and lined up in shifts outside the Fengtian Gate, where the guard of honor was like a forest, waiting for the arrival of the new monarch.

According to the ancestral system, the first emperor died, and the vassal king was not allowed to enter Beijing to mourn, so naturally he would not appear at the enthronement ceremony, so the ministers and hundreds of officials respected several princes - standing in the first place was Jinshang's cousin, Xu Jingchang, the prince of Dingguo. Xu Jingchang is the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the son of Xu Zengshou, who was beheaded by Jianwen in the Battle of Jingnan. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he thanked this brother-in-law for his merits and named his son the Duke of Dingguo. For the sake of his wife Empress Xu's face, he did not abolish Bao Jianwen's title of Duke of Wei in the Changfang line.

In this way, the Xu family is a two-country duke, and in terms of dignity, it is naturally far superior to other dukes, but the Duke of Wei is on the wrong side after all, and Zhu Di was left in Nanjing and did not move to Beijing together, which can be regarded as fading out of the line. Now the second room Dingguo Gong is the representative of the Xu family. It's just that Xu Jingchang is a scholar who can't ride a horse and open a bow, so although the status of the Xu family is respected, his power is far inferior to that of the British Duke and the Duke of Chengguo who stand on his right.

British Gong Zhang Fu and Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Neng, these two are now the left and right leaders of the Ming Dynasty generals and military generals.

What the ministers didn't expect was that there was another person alongside the three dukes, who was Wang Xian, the Marquis of Le'an. But in an instant, everyone understood that this was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showing his attitude towards Wang Xian - he was not the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty, but the number one hero of this dynasty!

For a while, the officials had different thoughts, some people were pondering, they should change their hostile attitude towards the number one celebrity of this dynasty, some people were thinking about how to befriend Wang Xian, some people were indignant that Wang Xian was able to clear his name and go ashore with such suspicions, and some people were worried, worried that Wang Xian would be completely uncontrollable......

There are hundreds of thoughts of the ministers and officials, but there is no one who feels that Wang Xian is not worthy of standing there! Even he stood in front of the three dukes, as he deserved!

As soon as the auspicious time came, Zhu Gaochi, supported by the eunuchs, ascended to the throne on the Jintai curtain. The whip-wielding eunuch shook the long leather whip, pulled out the sound of the silver bottle bursting like a whip, and after three whips, the hundred officials knelt down and bowed!

After saluting, the official stood up solemnly, watched the Hanlin official hold the edict in his hand, walked through the square in front of the palace, held the seal in front of the palace, and then awarded the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jin Chun, who read the edict of succession in front of the Fengtian Gate.

At the beginning, it was naturally Zhu Gaoxu who announced that he had to sue heaven and earth under everyone's persuasion and succeed to the throne! Feng Zu Kao's Hong You, Yang Shengming's Yongtu, so the year name is 'Hong Xi', and the following year was changed to Yuan.

The edict on the throne is scattered and gorgeous, which is the meaning of the title, the ministers listened to it groggily, and when they heard the year name, they were a little more energetic, and they thought that this was about to end, but Jin Chun did not stop at all, but continued to read: "All the joint matters are indicated in the ...... later."

'There is also a policy in the enthronement edict?!' The officials' eyes widened and their ears straightened, lest they miss a word and miss the opportunity to understand the new emperor's intentions for the first time.

"From today onwards, officials, soldiers, civilians, etc., except for rebellion, great rebellion, children and grandchildren murdering grandparents and parents, wives and concubines killing husbands and slaves, and servants killing their masters, the rest have been discovered, have not been discovered, have been corrected, have not been reconciled, no matter how big or small, and will be pardoned and eliminated!"

'This is an amnesty for the world, the meaning of the title ......' Baiguan didn't care about this article, and listened to Jin Chun continue to read:

"Before December of the nineteenth year of Yongle, all the arrears of taxes and grain will be exempted!"

"This is to exempt the accumulated tax arrears, and when the emperor ascends the throne, he must always let the people be wet with rain and dew......

"Families who have fled everywhere will be forgiven for their crimes, and they will be allowed to return to their hometowns to resume their business, and they will be exempted from the tax and grain they owe for two years."

'This is to let the displaced people return to their hometowns, and the emperor really can't wait,'

"All the national treasure ships that went to the West were stopped, the goods were handed over to Nanjing to be sold, and the officials who had sent to the inside and outside of the country returned to Beijing as soon as possible, and the soldiers and civilians were all sent to Ning's house."

As soon as this came out, the expressions on the faces of the hundred officials were wonderful, and they never expected that as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he would abolish the Western Ocean that the first emperor was proud of!

didn't have time to think about the consequences of this article, Jin Chun continued to read aloud:

"Horse buyers from all over the Western Regions; Those who go to Yunnan, Burma and other places to buy gems and timber; Everywhere the ships of the lower sea were built; And comprador comprador silk leno gems and other items, and should materials, pigments, etc., and Suzhou and Hangzhou and other weaving bureaus, everywhere to copy paper and magnets, purchase Li wood board making, all kinds of seafood and fruits and other items are stopped! The officials and others sent to Beijing immediately set off to return to Beijing, and the officers and soldiers returned to their original guards, and they were not allowed to stay in the service! ”

At this time, the officials couldn't help it at all, and they all looked at each other, the emperor is going to stop buying all over the world! Especially those princes and lords, their faces are more and more ugly one by one. That's where their money comes from!
