In front of the Fengtian Gate, Jin Chun continued to read the edict. No one thought that there would be so much content in the new monarch's enthronement edict, prohibiting purchases everywhere in the world, abolishing all kinds of pretentiousness, and not following the express text of the imperial court, not allowing the slightest unauthorized interference with the army and the people!

In the edict, it was also proposed to gradually abolish the banknote law and prohibit the imperial court from issuing new banknotes. The common people will be exempted from forced labor, and the prisoners who have been assigned to serve as coolies in the army will be sent back to their hometowns to serve as civilians. And so on, there are dozens of articles, pointing directly to all kinds of shortcomings in the imperial court, unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in charge of the country for 20 years, and he can't understand the people who have an unobstructed view of the government and the opposition.

All the officials understood that this was clearly the governing program of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and all the rules would cause drastic changes in the imperial court, and it was obvious that life would not be easy in the future. They couldn't write down one by one, so they could only continue to listen dizzily until they heard Jin Chun read: "In the future, the arrest of prisoners will be in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", and the factory guards are not allowed to interfere with the judiciary. ”

All the officials looked at Wang Xian with brushes, and said in their hearts that this is to abolish the factory guard! I saw that Wang Xian was like an old monk and settled down, and I couldn't see any fluctuations.

Jin Chun paused, and didn't know if he was tired or the next one was difficult to exit, so he swallowed his saliva before he read in a trembling voice: "During the Jianwen period, those who were punished and confiscated as slaves due to the martyrdom will be pardoned for the people, and given land, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment......"

'Boom! At this time, the ministers couldn't bear it at all, and burst out with a buzzing sound, this is to rehabilitate the remnants of Jianwen! And without consulting anyone, it was announced directly in the enthronement edict! How can this make the civil and military officials embarrassed? ! You must know that except for a few people, the dukes and earls present today, Shangshu Shilang, are all upstarts who followed Zhu Dijing's martyrdom, and rehabilitated Jianwen's remnants, isn't it denying the first emperor and them? How can this make them embarrassed, how to deal with themselves?!

Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries had their lips twitching, and they wanted to speak out against it, but this was a reading of the edict of succession, and if they spoke out against it, wouldn't they be directly hostile to the new monarch?

Seeing the commotion in the field, Jin Chun hurriedly continued to read: "Yu Xi! The monarch and the people are one, the lover must be magnanimous, the rewards and punishments are scriptural, and the country must be shown in the Ming faith. ”

Jin Chun finally finished reading the edict, and there was a dead silence in the field, and after a long time, the officials realized that it was time to shout long live, but the sparse sound of long live was so scattered and uneven, unprecedented!

In the next ceremony, everyone was immersed in shock, and followed the instructions of the officials of Honglu Temple like puppets, until the end of the ceremony, everyone was still difficult to calm down......

The new monarch was used by the province and the state, and the ceremony was over, and no banquet was given, and the ministers withdrew from the noon gate in turn. As soon as they got out of the noon gate, they immediately exploded, the officials surrounded their respective leaders, and the princes surrounded Zhu Zhanji, shouting one by one emotionally: "Your Majesty, this is going to change the sky!" If we continue to carry out this way, is it the next step to cure our crime of rebellion?! ”

Zhu Zhanji is also pale, when it comes to annoyance, he is the most annoyed, the succession edict said so much, but there was not a single word about making him the prince, which made him unable to figure out what His Highness is now!

Still Jianyi and other old ministers appeased everyone: "Everyone, today is the day of the emperor's enthronement, if there is anything to talk about another day, you must not block the emperor today!" ”

"Another day, is it too late?" The ministers said indignantly.

"In time, the articles read out today are very sketchy, and they still need to be refined before they can be promulgated." Jian Yi said: "If you have any opinions, you can put them forward when the time comes, and the emperor will be as good as a stream, and he will be able to choose and change them." "In fact, Jian Yi is also very clear that the emperor does not consult with anyone, he just doesn't want anyone to oppose it, and directly announces it in the succession edict, which is to create a fait accompli!

But if you don't say so at this time, should you let the ministers immediately go to the emperor to give him a death advice?

The ministers also knew that today was indeed not a day of opposition, so they had to suppress their anger and disperse in groups. As for how to gather a crowd to discuss secretly after going back, it is not enough for outsiders.

Wang Xian was not with the ministers, and as soon as the ceremony was over, he was stopped by the eunuch and said that the emperor had summoned him. I could only follow the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace and meet the new monarch......

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi changed into his regular clothes, and his face did not have half a point of joy that finally turned positive, but was full of worries. Naturally, he knew very well what kind of storm his decree would be set off if it was promulgated, but if he did not take advantage of the great opportunity of the enthronement edict, he would inevitably be opposed and delayed by countless opponents, and I am afraid that he would not be able to promulgate all these decrees in ten years.

But in this way, it is inevitable to face the general outbreak of civil and military ministers, and the determination to break the cauldron is one thing, and the overwhelming pressure is another......

"Your Majesty, Le'anhou is here." The eunuch came in and reported softly.

"Oh, please." Only then did Zhu Gaochi cheer up, and his eyes eagerly looked at Wang Xian who came in from outside.

"The minister greets the emperor." Wang Xian bowed.

"Hurry up and excuse me," Zhu Gao said in a deep voice: "From now on, I will not let you kneel and bow, and give me a seat quickly." ”

The eunuch brought Wang Xian a seat, and Wang Xian thanked him and sat down.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xian and said slowly, "You know why I came to you. ”

"The minister knows." Wang Xian nodded.

"Now tell me that you've changed your mind." Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xian with warm eyes, for fear that he would give an answer that would disappoint him, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "You have also seen that I have made a desperate bet at the enthronement ceremony, and without you, I will be eaten alive by those angry old ministers." ”

Wang Xian hesitated, but shook his head resolutely, and said in a low voice: "The minister's mission has ended, and Your Majesty's affairs, with Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu, will be able to be taken care of." Chen Qiang's stay in Beijing will only help him. ”

Zhu Gaochi understands Wang Xian's concerns, and now the government and the opposition are befriending Wang Xian with noble generals, and what he wants to move is mostly the interests of these people. The civilian clique that he mainly relies on is full of hostility towards Wang Xian, and it is really difficult for Wang Xian to be caught in the middle......

Although he understood in his heart, Zhu Gaochi's eyes still showed a heavy look of disappointment, and it took a while to ease up and ask, "Where do you want to go?" Nanjing or Shandong? ”

"Go back to Fuyang's hometown." Wang Xian said softly: "Since you have retreated, you will all retire and go back to your hometown to live in the countryside with your parents, wife and children for a few days......

"That's not good," the emperor resolutely disagreed: "You can't retreat completely, in a few years the world will be turned upside down, and when you go out of the mountain again, I'm afraid you will not be able to do it." After a pause, he said undoubtedly: "I didn't let you put your sword and spear into Kuma and put it in Nanshan, but put your peerless sword into the box to recuperate, the purpose is to make you recover your edge, better than before!" It's not about abolishing your peerless sword......"

"......" Wang Xian was silent, he knew that the prince was telling the truth, returning to Fuyang was equivalent to quitting the political arena, and after a few years, everything was wrong, the power was gone, and no one bought it, which was almost devastating for a powerful person.

"So, aren't your family members in Jinan? I'll make the decision for you, and you can go to Shandong! Seeing that Wang Xian finally let go, a relieved smile appeared on Zhu Gaochi's face, and said: "I have appointed you as the Duke of Zhenguo, the governor of Shandong, and you can act cheaply to control the military and political affairs of the whole province." How is it? ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will be even more hateful...... Wang Xian shook his head with a wry smile.

"Why are you such a mother-in-law? Do you think I'm duplicitous?! Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "This is not the Wang Xian I know!" If you don't accept it, then don't leave Beijing, it's better to be by my side! Saying that, he sighed and said, "At the critical moment, I need you to save me!" “

"Hey, the minister's obedience is ......," the emperor said, and Wang Xian had to sigh and accept it.

"In addition, you will take the official seal of the Governor of Jinyi Wei to Shandong." Zhu Gaochi said again.

"It's not appropriate, is it?" Wang Xian was surprised.

"As announced in the will, I have made up my mind to take advantage of Dongchang's participation in the rebellion and abolish this secret agency!" Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice: "Even your Jinyi Wei will revoke the Beizhen Fu Division, strip off the function of detecting torture, and return the power of judicial law enforcement to the Three Law Divisions." Saying that, he looked at Wang Xian and said: "Those soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were born and died with you, you have to give them an explanation." ”

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, suppressing the surprise in his heart, Zhu Gaochi's hatred of spies has been a long time, and he didn't expect to abolish the factory guards as soon as he came up. Seeing the slight situation, it can be seen that in the next few days, Zhu Gaochi, who has been holding back for 20 years, will definitely have countless big moves waiting for him!

Obviously, the prince said that he needed himself, and he was not lying. Because it is easy to be a quiet and inactive emperor, it is very difficult to be an emperor who reforms the old and makes the new! Especially when it comes to touching the interests of those princes and nobles, it will definitely lead to a fierce counterattack.

"Zhongde, I was going to discuss this matter with you," Zhu Gaochi saw that Wang Xian was silent for a long time, thinking that he was resistant, and hurriedly explained: "It was you who had to leave, so I had to explain to you first." ”

"Your Majesty is too worried, Emperor Taizu's abolition of Jinyiwei is to see the destruction of the imperial court by the factory guards, how can the ministers not support it?" Wang Xian said softly: "It's just that although the factory guard is bad, it is the emperor's minions, and Your Majesty needs to think twice before acting." I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to cut off my minions before doing great things. ”

"I know," Zhu Gaochi nodded, and said with a straight face: "But I can't use the methods of the emperor to achieve my goal, I have my own way!" ”

"Since Your Majesty has a plan, it is for the ministers to worry too much." Wang Xian stopped bothering.

Zhu Gaochi left Wang Xian for dinner before letting him go back. In the afternoon of the same day, there was a decree to go to his house, to make him the prince of the town, and to give him Danshu iron coupons, hereditary replacement. At the same time, there was also a decree to appoint Wang Xian as the military minister of Shandong and Liaodong, stationed in Jinan, and in charge of the government affairs, money and grain affairs of Shandong and Huai, and the governor of shipping affairs, and still the governor of Jinyi and Weidu.

It was expected that Wang Xian would be made a duke, and the ministers were not much surprised. But it is really surprising that the emperor would send Wang Xian out of the capital at this time. People from all walks of life speculated whether this was the intention of the emperor to draw a line with Wang Xian. Everyone knows that if you lose your holy favor, no matter how many rewards or high titles you have, it is useless!

So much so that no one objected to the emperor's enormous power over Wang Xian......
