Chapter 737 Enthronement Ceremony

Back from the Ganqing Palace.

Liu Jian and Jiang Mian had different expressions. The prince liked to collude with Yan Chengjin. Yan Chengjin was good at changing the ancestral system. He didn't know what situation would turn into after ascending the throne.

"I'm afraid that the official uniform of Xiaguan will not be worn for a long time." Jiang Mian said with a wry smile.

Li Dongyang shook his head: "Brother Jingzhi underestimates His Royal Highness the Prince."

The prince became serious and smarter than His Majesty back then, and often spoke amazingly.

Especially in recent years, I have visited the people and learned more about the sufferings of the people.

Liu Jian nodded: "Your Highness does not want to be the emperor because he knows the heavy responsibilities of the throne. If he wants to enjoy himself, he will have already accepted it happily."

Xie Qian nodded: "It's too early for Your Majesty to pass the throne at this time."

At this time, the East Palace.

Yan Chengjin was pulled to the bedroom, and Zhu Houzhao said nervously: "Lao Gao, I am going to be the emperor, what should I do?"

My father could have worked for more than ten years, but he wanted to be the Supreme Emperor.

I heard that the memorials from Fengtian Palace can't be read from the morning of Mao to the late night of Hai.

No matter how fast he is, it will take two hours.

"Why should your highness panic? The cabinet and the six ministers are more anxious than your highness."

"Yes, they don't want this palace to be the emperor," Zhu Houzhao laughed.

The news spread to the Six Ministry’s Value Room and Hanyuan.

Ministry of War, duty room.

Zhang Fuhua's face was solemn, and supporting the crown prince as a minister was loyal and righteous.

But now Emperor Hongzhi is young and strong, but he wants to pass the throne to the crown prince, which is not a wise move!

"Your Majesty knows that Yan Chengjin always changes the system and has had too many interactions with the prince, why should he pass the throne on the prince?"

If the prince and Yan Chengjin change together, who can stop it?

Wang Shouren said: "It is because he knows that the prince and Lord Yan have too much contact, so he wants to pass the throne."

Zhang Fuhua and the chief clerks' eyes changed.

Wang Shouren continued: "After the prince ascended the throne, if he supports Lord Yan's rebellion, His Majesty will not ignore it and will still manage the government."

Your Majesty will definitely teach the prince how to be the emperor and how to govern.

Emperor Hongzhi's character must be personally dedicated to everything, and he wishes to take a look at everything.

How could a person who is not used to comfort truly let the government go?

On the contrary, if His Majesty passes the throne again after his death, no one can control the prince.

Zhang Fuhua's face showed enlightenment.

The next day, morning court.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced around the hall and said in a deep voice: "I believe everyone knows what happened yesterday?"

The hall was silent for a moment, and then, a group of people fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty think twice!"

The cabinet and the six ministers looked different, but they also advised: "Your Majesty can work hard for another ten years. It will not be too late to pass the throne to the crown prince after ten years."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "I will continue to govern the country, so don't worry, all the people."

Based on his experience of ascending the throne back then, it would take three to five years for the emperor to truly grasp power even if he ascended the throne.

The cabinet ministers were the ones who were in power during this period.

But now he is in power, he can help the prince to survive this period.

"I thought it through and made this decision."

Yan Chengjin's eyes moved slightly.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the power of cabinet ministers became increasingly greater and greater, and the reason was precisely because.

The new emperor was too young to control the court when he ascended the throne, and his power fell into the hands of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

When Jiajing and Wanli ascended the throne, the Grand Secretary controlled the government affairs, and they gradually regained power after the title was in a low position.

When a young emperor ascends the throne, he needs to have excessive assistance from wise ministers to stabilize the foundation of the country.

The youngest emperor was Zhu Qizhen, the grandfather of Emperor Hongzhi, who was only eight years old when he ascended the throne.

But there was no major chaos in the Cabinet of the San Yang Yang, Yang Shiqi and Yang Bu in the transition.

Emperor Hongzhi may have been a transitional person who wanted to be the crown prince, but in fact he also supervised the court and the public.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "I asked the prince to go to court today, where is the prince?"

Xiao Jing didn't know where the prince had gone.

...

Huguo Temple,

In the Heavenly King Hall, a man knelt on the cushion and blinked his eyes and said, "I'll shave my hair off. Today I'll be in a monk and return to secular life ten years later."

The abbot and a group of monks knelt on the ground.

Today, when he was presiding on the Buddhist scriptures, a young man suddenly broke in and asked him why he couldn't think about it and wanted to escape into a monk.

He actually said he was about to become emperor.

It can be seen that he was wearing a yellow robe and a eunuch. He knew that he was the current prince. The presidency and the elders were so scared that they knelt down quickly.

"Your Highness, please let me live a life."

"There are seven people in my family. I beg your highness to let me go. I really dare not take the sword."

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said, "I let you go, who will let you go? Shave it quickly, and the Dog Emperor will send someone here later."

The host and the elders dared not look up.

A spiritual monk thought for a while and looked at the abbot and whispered: "Master, it's almost time to open a vegetarian meal. Why not invite Your Highness to have a vegetarian meal first?"

Yes, the vegetarian food in the temple is not as good as the palace. Your Highness has suffered so he might go back.

The host smiled and said, "Your Highness will use vegetarian food first. Only when you are full will you be able to slaughter it."

After a while, in the dining hall.

Zhu Houzhao picked her teeth and happily handed the empty bowl to Gu Dayong: "The vegetarian rice in the temple is better than the sutra banquet. Gu companion, please make another bowl for me."

The host and the elders were stunned.

I've eaten three bowls, is this really the prince in the palace?

"presumptuous!"

A loud shout rang out throughout the dining hall, and Zhu Houzhao was so scared that she fell to the ground.

The Jinyiwei and Jinwuwei rushed in, and Emperor Hongzhi and the Dukes followed.

The monks all knelt down with a thud.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's hair still there, Emperor Hongzhi's anger faded a little: "Who told you to become a monk?"

"It's the father and the son of the son, who has ten years to be the crown prince, doesn't want to be the emperor so early."

The father did not like monks, and he would not let the Buddhist son be the emperor. Before his hair grew, the father would not let him sit on the throne.

Zhu Houzhao ran to Huguo Temple and shaved his hair.

Yan Chengjin didn't find it strange. Zhu Houzhao was always casual, and even the imperial edict was difficult to restrain.

Emperor Hongzhi looked stern: "I have issued an order, and you cannot let you take the prince back to the palace to study etiquette and hold the throne ceremony on a date."

The Jinyiwei raised Zhu Houzhao and brought it back to the palace, where Zhang Sheng taught the minister Yi.

Three days later, the throne ceremony was held in Fengtian Hall.

The Jinshu, Dianzhu, Zhangsi and others from the Ministry of Rites and the Lijian were busy running around, preparing ceremonial guards and curtains, and proclaiming sacrifices to heaven and earth and the ancestors.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, rituals and music and operas are played, Zhu Houzhao is wearing a yellow robe, which is embroidered with sun, moon, stars, rivers, and fire, and jade beads and crowns.

At this time, the ministers of the Honglu Temple led all officials through the Jinshui Bridge and headed to Fengtian Hall.

In the square outside the Meridian Gate, civil servants and military officers stood in the east and west and knelt down together.

The Jinyiwei fired cannons, and the Honglu Temple Minister shouted: "Hello!"

All officials bow five hundred and three times.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple read out the edict of Emperor Hongzhi:

I have been ordered by the Emperor and Heaven to be in great power, and I have been in great power. I have been able to conquer the troubles and despair the troops. I have been responsible for the people in the city and the country. I have been very careful to take care of the people. I have been diligent and dedicated to the people. I have a weak muscle and strong force. I am good at ascending the throne. The gentlemen in the court are good at assisting him and become a wise king...

The sound echoed in the courtyard, and every word was clear, just like a news broadcast.

Yan Chengjin looked up slightly, Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao stood on the imperial steps one left and one right.
