Time passed slowly, and while Zhu Youxiao was busy, September 6th came.

This registration ceremony was no different from his cheap father's. It was grand in scale, and officials from all walks of life were very skilled. They gathered in front of the Meridian Gate, then crossed the Jinshui Bridge and passed through the Huangji Gate (today's Taihe Gate).

Gather in front of Huangji Palace.

After a series of complicated etiquette, Zhu Youxiao and all the officials entered the Huangji Hall one after another. He sat high on the dragon throne, and all the officials were arranged below him in order. It was just that the ranks of officials were a bit sparse, whether they were civil servants, military generals, or relatives of nobles.

, there are a lot of people missing.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

After a roar of mountain roars and tsunamis, Liu Ruoyu raised his voice and began to read out the edict for his accession to the throne. This edict was no different from the one when Zhu Changluo ascended the throne. They were all articles with gorgeous words but empty content. They were nothing more than a song of praise and praise for Zhu You.

The legality of the school succession. The most substantive content is just the announcement that next year’s reign will be Tianqi.

After the edict was read out, all the ministers shouted long live. After that, the ceremony was considered complete, and all that was needed was to issue a document to announce it to the world. After a morning ceremony, all the ministers got up very early and were already very hungry.

After cooing and getting up, they all waited for the people above to release them so that everyone could go back to eat.

Within a month, 20% of the registration ceremonies were held in a row. During this period, so many things happened, including a coup, and guardsmen riding around arresting people everywhere. Now that the ceremony is completed and the throne is stable, there should not be so many things happening next. Okay

Take a breather.

When most of the courtiers were thinking this, suddenly a young voice came from the dragon throne. The ministers were slightly startled. When they looked up, it was the young emperor who spoke.

"I...I inherit the great power, and the reign name is Tianqi, which means inheriting the destiny from heaven and enlightening the people..." Zhu Youxiao organized his words and said slowly.

When the ministers heard this, they were a little distracted. When he ascended the throne, the emperor would usually say something to appease the officials. However, Wanli reigned for too long, and although the short-lived emperor Zhu Changluo was not a fool, he was still allowed to give a speech.

Not possible.

Therefore, the ministers were a little stunned at first, but they soon came to their senses. What Zhu Youxiao said was very ordinary. The ministers were all literary people, so they were a little bored, but they still felt strong.

Listen carefully. After all, the coup a few days ago was not very controversial. Maybe the emperor will say something when he ascends the throne.

"Pan Ming" of Tang Dynasty said: "It is new every day, and it is new every day." "Kang Gao" said: "To create a new people." "Poetry" said: "Although Zhou was an old state, its destiny was restored." That's why.

A gentleman does everything he can." Zhu Youxiao changed the topic and suddenly recited the content of "The Great Learning".

This passage suddenly struck a chord, making the ministers' hearts suddenly skip a beat. Everyone present was a Confucian scholar, and Daxue was one of the Four Books. Everyone had read it, and not only had they memorized the contents, but they were all familiar with it.

This passage took a long time to translate, but it can be attributed to only two words: innovation.

"What kind of trouble is going on here?" Many ministers murmured in their hearts. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were the most bizarre people in all dynasties. They had trouble with everyone. No wonder these ministers thought so.

"...When I was young, I had an adverbial saying that I wanted to be a sage king. A gentleman would reform, and a sage king would do the same. I once heard Anshi, the king of the Song Dynasty, say: 'The ancestors are not worthy of the law.' I deeply agree."

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately hit home. Everyone has heard of Wang Anshi's name, and they have also heard of their famous quotes. Although Zhu Youxiao only said one sentence here, the ministers' expressions changed one after another, and their hearts beat wildly.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, the emperor wants to change the law!" Similar voices wailed in the hearts of the ministers.

Although the ministers in Huangji Palace have some military generals and noble titles, most of them are civil servants. Most of them have a keen sense of politics. From Zhu Youxiao's short words, they quickly thought of many things. These

The association made them pale in an instant.

"It has been more than two thousand years since the First Emperor established the Central Plains and added the emperor to the throne. The world's system has changed. From ancient times to the present, there is nothing that has not changed. Therefore, time has changed and the world has changed, and it is the principle of heaven to keep pace with the times.

.I shall inherit this destiny, personally steer the wheel, abolish the old system, and start a new one, so as to adapt to the changes in the weather, time and geography, and stabilize the hearts of the common people in the four directions." Zhu Youxiao finished his words slowly, with a sonorous and powerful tone.

Boom!

His words were like a muffled thunder that exploded in the hearts of the ministers, making their ears ring and their heads dizzy. The aftertaste of his words was like thunder in the sky, rolling past and lasting.

The emperor is going to play in person!

Reforms and innovations have always required the support of the emperor. Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's Xining Reform were all carried out with the emperor's acquiescence. However, at that time, the emperor was behind the scenes and never thought about it now.

In this way, let's go and play in person.

Fang Congzhe, who was standing in the front row, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but kept silent. Thinking about his inextricable connection with the Hongwan coup, he was embarrassed to open his mouth, although as Concubine Zheng retreated, he

I have cut off all ties, but that is because the emperor does not care about me, so I should not get involved. After this year, when the government stabilizes, I can retire smoothly. After seven years of independence, I will be alone in this life.

enough.

Fang Congzhe didn't speak, but that didn't mean that other officials didn't have opinions. Suddenly, one of the officials in the front row raised his leg and wanted to step out to speak. However, before he could stand up, Liu Ruoyu's sharp voice came from above the hall.

"The ceremony is over and all the officials are gone."

After announcing loudly, Zhu Youxiao stood up and left his seat and went out from the back. He was very tired from the big ceremony this morning and needed to rest.

Zhu Youxiao's sudden departure made the ministers who wanted to say something choked up their words, and felt quite uncomfortable when they couldn't say anything. Therefore, when leaving the palace, the courtiers who were holding back their discomfort spoke in twos and threes.

They got together and discussed with each other.

Zhejiang Party Fang Congzhe, Chu Party officials Ying Zhen, Wu Liangsi, Huang Yanshi, Qi Party Qi Shijiao, Zhou Yongchun, and others all gathered around them a group of officials, as did the Xuan and Kun parties, walking together and discussing with each other.

The remaining members of the Donglin Party were not scattered in disarray, but gathered around Sun Chengzong, the associate minister of Jingying Rongzheng, including Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. Neither of them wanted to be like this, but this was the atmosphere at this time.

, no one can survive in the officialdom without forming a party.

Sun Chengzong was given the title of Minister of War, and was ordered by the emperor to take charge of the capital camp. When the governor of Beijing camp was not appointed, he had the final say in affairs of the capital camp. Under the leadership of Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Han Kuang, Liu Yijing, Zhou Jiamo, etc.

Now that all the big bosses have been dismissed, he is now the flag bearer for the remaining officials in Donglin.

Zhu Youxiao's sudden speech made the courtiers go back with confusion and shock. On the way, they discussed it left and right, but they could not come up with any good strategies. The emperor only said that he wanted to innovate, but he did not elaborate on how to innovate.

Come and leave endless reverie.

Although the courtiers did not reach a unified view on the reform of the old system, they all agreed on one thing, that is, they must not provoke the emperor now. There are three fires when a new official takes office, let alone the emperor. As soon as the emperor takes office, you are not afraid to confront him.

Is the fire coming?

Of course, these are only minor matters. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were famously not afraid of death in front of the emperor. Some who wanted to gain a statement were eager to challenge the emperor. The most important reason why the courtiers dare not rush forward now is that

The Red Pill Coup, such a major case of mutiny and rebellion, except for the emperors who founded the country, has not seen such an earth-shattering event for almost a hundred years.

There is a lot of news about rebellion, and it will definitely be a river of blood when it is dealt with. The case has not yet been completed, and the people of Jinyiwei are busy every day. There are piles of confessions, and from time to time, some people will be raped.

Get involved.

Under the threat of a major case, all the officials in the capital are in danger. At this moment, who dares to rush up and challenge the emperor? Aren't you afraid that the next day there will be Jin Yiwei, saying that you are involved in the Hongwan coup, and putting you in jail? Young man

The emperor, with his iron-blooded temper who emerged from the mutiny, might actually do this.

The Red Pill Coup is now like a sharp knife hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials. It may fall at any time. If the major conspiracy case is not solved for a day, there will not be much opposition from the officials. Just like in some time-travel novels, time-travel novels

As Chongzhen's man, Wei Zhongxian always delayed killing him, creating pressure on the courtiers.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to understand it now. He now hopes that the case will be settled soon so that he can free up manpower to do other things.

"In such a troubled time, I'm afraid it's not easy to be an official!" Some officials looked back at Miyagi and made such a long sound. The officials next to him nodded one after another, feeling sad for a moment.

People from several other parties did not discuss anything useful, but Sun Chengzong was a little different. After all, he had been Zhu Youxiao's teacher for a period of time, and had in-depth exchanges and discussions with him, although Zhu Youxiao later became quiet.

Since then, we have had fewer contacts with him, but we can still see him once or twice a month.

Therefore, among the civil servants, no one dared to claim that Sun Chengzong was the second best in understanding the new emperor. When the young remnants of the Donglin Party gathered around, he said something different.

"Don't worry, gentlemen. Your Majesty has a great talent and a heart for the world. Although he is young and lacks experience, he has outstanding abilities and is mature. He is not a reckless person and will not make any big mistakes." Sun Chengzong smiled and expressed relief.

Get the crowd together.

"And why did you join the Donglin Party? Isn't it because you saw that the world is becoming more and more difficult and the people are homeless and miserable? Now that the poison of the Donglin Party has been wiped out by His Majesty, the remaining people are all those who are worried about the country. At this time

Isn't this the time for you and me to work hard? I urge you to abandon the bad habit of talking big words and deceiving others in the past, and do more practical things. Your Majesty likes people who do practical things best." After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he cupped his hands and left.

Only a group of young people were left there who were excited by what he said.

The people in Donglin who have not been involved in major rebellion cases are all new officials with low official positions. They have just entered the official career, are full of ambitions, and want to help the country and make great achievements. For such young people who are worried about national affairs

, the Donglin Party’s slogan of clarifying the government’s affairs and its sign of being upright are very attractive.
