Chapter 132 Rehearsal Ceremony (please vote)

Since he has been summoned to the capital, it means that Qian Qianyi needs to care about his reputation now, and it is impossible to marry him.

After all, Qian Qianyi is just an old man without an official position, so he can make up his mind to marry her regardless of his reputation.

But she also knew that Qian Qianyi had been running around trying to get back into office.

Now that the emperor suddenly summoned him to Beijing, this was undoubtedly a ladder that he could only climb up for Qian Qianyi, who had been working hard.

She didn't believe that Qian Qianyi would be willing to leave his official career aside and marry a brothel girl at the expense of the upcoming high-ranking official and ruin his upcoming bright future.

No matter how much the two of them cherished each other before.

"Who said you can't be by my side to take care of me?"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Liu Rushi asked confusedly, did Qian Qianyi still plan to marry her and then leave? This would ruin his career.

Or, let her follow her to Beijing without giving her a status?

It would be better for her to live alone here and find a new lover than to be a shady person next to a high-ranking official in the court.

"His Majesty said that I can bring a female family member to Beijing. I thought about it and found that Miss Liu is suitable, so let's get married as soon as possible."

"Sir, you... would be lucky to meet you."

Liu Rushi looked at Qian Qianyi's seriousness and was so moved that she couldn't speak. She didn't know that Chongzhen already knew her beauty as an adult.

…

Qian Qianyi still followed the previously chosen plan and married Liu Rushi on a boat on the lake. After all, if they were on land, not only would there be no one, but they would also be out of tune with each other.

On the other side of the capital, Chongzhen received a reply from Jin Yiwei, and Qian Qianyi and Fang Yuegong had already been notified.

At this time, he was also holding the script and rehearsing for the day of the exercise.

As the deadline of April 15th gets closer and closer in the entire capital, the topic on everyone's lips has turned to the ceremony.

Chen Ye has also shuttled over and is currently determining the final ceremony procedures with Lin Yuji and Li Ruolian.

"Shopkeeper, it is really disrespectful to ask His Majesty to kiss an infant child.

Also, it is not in line with etiquette to ask Your Majesty to arrange military uniforms for disabled military households."

From Lin Yuji's world view, he felt like he was going crazy.

From the moment he got the ritual process, he felt that it was full of irritating points. There were so many places to find fault with that he didn't know where to start.

"Master Lin, who has the final say in Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course His Majesty has the final say, but Your Majesty must also abide by the ancestral system.

There is no need for you, the shopkeeper, to use this official language. If I don’t accept this, how can I freely interact with the people during the emperor’s trip?”

Lin Yuji was completely immune to Chen Ye's rhetoric. Even if he used Chongzhen to pressure him, he would still say the same thing, which was against the ancestral system.

"Master Lin, do you think the people of the Ming Dynasty are despicable? Or do you think that in the future of the Ming Dynasty, those children are not worthy of being intimated by Your Majesty?

Did you know that among those children, there may be generals who will be victorious in the future of our Ming Dynasty, and sage ministers of our future Ming Dynasty? Are they not worthy?

Or do you think those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who fought on the battlefield to stop the slave establishment did not deserve His Majesty's respect? When they blocked the sword on the battlefield, they still shouted "Long live Your Majesty!"

Chen Ye spat directly into Lin Yuji's face, causing Lin Yuji to retreat without daring to say anything.

Although this was the first time he met Chen Ye, he already knew his name. This was a person who could not be offended, which was a consensus among the six departments.

"Shopkeeper, please don't misinterpret my meaning. I said it is inconsistent with the ancestral system."

"Is it inconsistent with the ancestral system? Is it inconsistent with the rituals? Your Majesty."

"Shopkeeper, what do you want me to do?"

Wang Chengen, who was outside the door, opened the door and came in. Lin Yuji still smiled disdainfully. If a eunuch could scare him, he would not be able to climb up to the position of Minister of Etiquette.

"Your Majesty, please go down and let the whole city know that Shu Lin, the Minister of Rites, wants to compile a book. He has committed a heinous crime and deceived Your Majesty.

It is the first crime to induce His Majesty to stay away from the people.

I feel that the people of the Ming Dynasty are inferior, but as an official, I look down on His Majesty's people. This is the second crime.

Inspiring Your Majesty to alienate the soldiers and disrespecting the soldiers who fought bloody battles for our Ming Dynasty is the third crime."

"You are so slanderous!"

Lin Yuji's face turned green. If what Chen Ye said got out, he would have to resign himself the next day and go back. Moreover, he believed that there would be a way for it to get out, and his reputation would be ruined.

"His Majesty asked you, Shangshu Lin, to assist in the entire process. He was to assist me in completing the entire ceremony, not to hold you back. Do you understand?

Besides, Mr. Lin, you are about to abdicate, can you retire smoothly and return to your hometown, or have your reputation ruined and your house confiscated, you don’t need to tell me how to choose?

You people, you must let Jin Yiwei lead people to make you look bad, and then your home will be ransacked before you can feel comfortable?

Or do you think that there is no one in the court who can impeach you and replace you?"

Chen Ye didn't want Lin Yuji to understand anything. According to the list he saw, Lin Yuji would retire after finishing this job.

After being told by Chen Ye, the already gray-haired Lin Yuji wanted to give up the idea in anger, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not worthwhile.

If he gives up his position now, his scandal will be spread throughout the capital tomorrow. Then a few more people will impeach him, and then he can happily wait to be raped.

Two months ago, if Chongzhen wanted to do something, other ministers would definitely help him, and he would definitely not be able to do it. But now, the situation is completely different.

Those who worked against Chongzhen have been purged for a round, and the remaining ones are all smart. If they continue to work against Chongzhen, they were dismissed from office before, but now they may be confiscated.

"I don't care, I don't care, you can do whatever you want."

"Right, what about that, Minister He, you continue to read your manuscript. You will read it when the time comes, so don't correct my mistakes."

Seeing that Lin Yuji no longer made trouble, Chen Ye was satisfied. These people were just dishonest. If everyone was like Fan Fucui, it would be much easier to manage.

"Shopkeeper, there are also decorations at Zhengyang Gate. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Okay, just let them draw the line so that they can stand in a good position when the time comes."

Chen Ye left the Ministry of Rites, got on his motorcycle at the door, and followed Wang Chengen to Zhengyangmen.

Zhengyangmen is the largest city gate in the entire capital, and it is also the main gate connecting the inner and outer cities.

Outside the gate, there are grasslands on the left, houses on the right, and the wide and straight Zhengyang Street in the middle, which extends to Yongding Gate.

At this time, outside Zhengyang Gate, thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp, or people from the engineering and construction groups, were working on the grassland on the left.

They laid the leveled ground with stones, and further away, frames of cement were being mixed.

"Shop owner, this is Zhao Xuelin, the eunuch of the Engineering Corps Construction Corps.

Eunuch Zhao, please give the shopkeeper a detailed introduction to the specific situation here. The shopkeeper is the one who provided the drawings. If he is not satisfied, you will not get any money."

"Don't worry, Eunuch Wang, our family has been supervising them to ensure quality and quantity, and we will definitely satisfy the shop owner."

After Zhao Xuelin finished speaking, he took Wang Chengen and Chen Ye together and looked down on the city wall.

"Shop owner, according to the drawings and the colorful paintings, we have initially completed the leveling and construction of the entire square.

What we are doing now is laying cement, waiting for this magical cement to dry, and then we will have a flat land, and then we can paint those marks."

Chen Ye looked at the crowd below. There were people everywhere in the large open space. There were small carts and small bamboo baskets everywhere, but the prototype of the corresponding square could already be seen.

The entire square borders Zhengyang Street and is separated by more than ten meters to prevent future road expansion from blocking Zhengyang Street.

In the center of the square are square steps one by one. A deep pit five meters long and wide is reserved in the middle. Various steel bars are connected under the pit. The steel bars were brought by Chen Ye from later generations.

The monument to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty will be installed in the deep pit. The entire monument is made of steel bars and special cement. There are three sections in total, which will be directly retracted into the space in later generations.

The three sections are a total of 28 meters high, followed by square columns with diameters of five meters, four meters and three meters. In the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, they were already considered to be as high as the sky.

Next to the steps at the bottom of the stele, there will be two relief walls, modular reliefs made of alloy, showing Lu Xiangsheng leading a group of Ming soldiers to charge.

As for the main statue of Lu Xiangsheng, it will be unveiled in the military camp on the day when military uniforms are distributed.

"Are the soldiers of the Construction Corps good at using new tools?"

"It's so handy. That shovel and those pulleys. I never knew that working tools could be so easy to use."

When Zhao Xuelin heard this, he praised that the tools he received from Wang Chengen were really only known by whoever uses them. It's not just about being useful.

“The construction period has almost been completed, everyone, please work hard to get it done as soon as possible.

By the way, how are the people's organizations in the city going?"

Chen Ye turned to look at Wang Chengen.

"Notifications have been sent, and the identities of those who have signed up have been verified. There are a thousand families among them. They will follow His Majesty from Chengtianmen to Zhengyangmen.

There are still a thousand households who will be watching the ceremony on Zhengyang Street. At the same time, people close to His Majesty have already been found, so we can just take pictures when the time comes."

"Okay, the people who are trained to use the speakers should also be trained as soon as possible, and two personnel should be prepared to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Chen Ye pressed the contents of the folder and checked them one by one with Wang Chengen.

Both Chongzhen and he attached great importance to this ceremony, because this ceremony would be a turning point in the gathering of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty.

After this ceremony, Chongzhen would take the famous example and begin to implement the military and political system, completely sweeping the Ming Dynasty's decadent officialdom system into the garbage heap.

"The speakers' users have been trained at the Royal Academy. Don't worry, owner, everything will be fine."

"That's good. Lao Zhu, you can still feel at ease when doing things. Keep up the good work and Ming's future will be even brighter."

Chen Ye nodded, looked at it for a while, and followed Wang Chengen back to the palace.

There is no charge for the following
