Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2104, about the enthronement ceremony
Inside the Study Room of the Emperor Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao, who had just ascended the throne, sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers in front of him, Liu Jin, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Wang Shouren, Zhong Fan, Li Kun, Liang Chu, Yang Yun, Tong Rui, who were excited and sick. , Fang Yongliang.

To be the emperor now, Zhu Houzhao actually does not petition. He actually prefers to be the prince, because that way he can have more time to do things he likes to do.

Now that he has become the emperor, there are too many things that need to be busy in all aspects. The Ming Empire is extremely huge, with a large population and a vast territory. Many, many things happen every day, and there are many things that eventually gather in the hands of the emperor.

Compared with Zhu Houzhao's indifferent face, Liu Jin who was beside him seemed much more excited. After years of hard work, he finally came to the fore.

Emperor Hongzhi abdicated and Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. Naturally, he also rose with the tide and became the head eunuch in the palace, holding huge power in his hands.

It's just that compared to history, Liu Jin's desire to become a powerful eunuch seems somewhat unlikely.

In history, Zhu Houzhao became emperor when he was still very young. He was a young emperor, his temperament was uncertain, he was very playful and very happy, so Liu Jin had many opportunities to take advantage of.

The current Zhu Houzhao is different. He is about to turn four. He has matured in all aspects. It's not so easy to fool around.

Furthermore, there is Emperor Hongzhi up there, although he is no longer visible, but with him around, he will not tolerate Liu Jin's nonsense.

What's more, Liu Jin is already in his seventies at this moment, and his body is actually not good enough, so he can't struggle for a few years at all.

Even if you have great ambitions in your heart, at this age, you are basically thinking about how to enjoy your old age comfortably.

Zhu Houzhao is looking at everyone, in fact, everyone is looking at Zhu Houzhao, and the new boss doesn't know what will happen.

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office. I don't know where Zhu Houzhao's three fires will burn.

Liu Jin and Wang Shouren naturally looked indifferent, and Zhu Houzhao's becoming emperor didn't seem to have much impact on the two of them, and Yang Tinghe seemed more excited when the time came.

He is Zhu Houzhao's teacher and has taught Zhu Houzhao's books for many years. According to the tradition of Daming, his teacher will definitely be valued and reused.

However, the excitement was nothing but excitement. After thinking about his illness, Yang Tinghe quickly calmed down again.

I'm too old, and my health is failing, even if I let myself be the chief minister of the cabinet now, how many years can I be?
Yang Yiqing was similar to Yang Tinghe. He was getting older and his health was failing. In fact, they were all thinking about how to retire and enjoy their old age.

"Your Majesty, the King of Korea, the King of Wa, the King of Siam, the King of Chenla, and the King of Lu Song have sent congratulatory messages to congratulate Your Majesty on the achievement of the Great Treasure. At the same time, they declare that they respect you as the Son of Heaven and pledge their allegiance to the Son of Heaven!"

"Congratulations from Charles V, Emperor of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor!"

"Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire, Emperor Ismail I of the Persian Empire, and the King of Egypt sent congratulatory messages!"

"Overseas feudal kingdom Ningguo King Ning, King Chu of Chu Kingdom, King Shu of Shu Kingdom, King Xingguo Xing. Governors of South Africa, Ceylon, and Burma sent congratulatory messages. All feudal kings and colonial governors all declare their allegiance to Your Majesty! "

"Pope Adrian VI sent a congratulatory message!"

"The King of the Aztec Kingdom and the King of the Inca Empire sent a congratulatory message, declaring their allegiance to you!"

Fang Yongliang, Minister of Rites, reported to Zhu Houzhao the latest congratulatory messages received by the Ming Empire from all over the world.

The current emperor of the Ming Empire is not only the emperor of the Ming Empire, but also the emperor of many vassal states, vassal states, and colonies.

North Korea, Japan, Luzon, Siam, Aztec Kingdom, Inca Empire and other vassal states all have to pledge allegiance to the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire is their suzerain state, and the emperor of the Ming Empire is naturally theirs. As for the kings of these vassal states, they are all subjects of the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

The new emperor has ascended the throne, and these courtiers will naturally come to swear allegiance, and now they are just sending a congratulatory message.

According to the arrangement of the Ming Empire, Zhu Houzhao simply ascended the throne today, and a grand enthronement ceremony will be arranged later. At that time, all the kings of these vassal states will come to send congratulatory gifts in person, and at the same time declare their allegiance to the Emperor of the Ming Empire .

The suzerain state is not just the suzerain state in name. According to the Daming vassal state agreement formulated by Liu Jin at the beginning, becoming a vassal state of the Ming Empire has many benefits, but it will also be deeply kidnapped on the huge ship of the Ming Empire. They are all under the control and influence of the Ming Empire.

Of course, when the enthronement ceremony is actually held, it seems that not only these vassal states, but also the vassal states and colonies overseas of Ming Dynasty, as well as Spain, Ottoman, Persia, Egypt, France and other countries will also send people to attend.

The current Ming Empire is related to almost every aspect of the entire world. The enthronement of the emperor of the Ming Empire is naturally an extremely important event.

Everyone is sending congratulatory messages first, and after receiving the official notice from Daming, they must immediately prepare congratulatory gifts, and at the same time prepare to send people over to participate in the grand ceremony.

"Ok!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and everything in the vassal state was fine. There are too many vassal states and colonies overseas.

But Zhu Houzhao still listened patiently. Now that he is the emperor, he is no longer a prince, and many things cannot be messed up by his temper.

Sometimes this is the case, you need to be patient, listen slowly, and see slowly.

"Your Majesty, according to Si Tianjian's calculation, the fifth day of February next year is the best day, the best day to hold the enthronement ceremony, and it is the best day to choose this day for the enthronement ceremony."

Then Fang Yongliang began to report on the preparations for the enthronement ceremony.

Now the Ming Empire is no longer what it used to be. The enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven must not only be very grand, but also take into account the congratulations from all over the world.

So after the election, it was also set on the fifth day of February next year, and now it is November, so after counting, it will be three months later.

The reason why it is set after three months is also to give all parties some time to prepare.

Like King Charles V of Spain on the European side, he will definitely send ministers to Ming Dynasty to congratulate him. From the European side to Ming Dynasty, even at the fastest speed, take the fastest route.

Starting from the Mediterranean port in Spain, take a boat to the Black Sea, and after arriving in Nanyun Province, take a train to the capital of the Ming Empire. This is the fastest route, and it will take about 2 months.

In addition, Daming's vassal states and colonies in West Africa will also send people to congratulate them, and those who come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty from these places must take a boat.

Even on the fastest internal combustion engine ship, it will take nearly three months to reach the capital of Daming, and it will take three months to reach Daming without stopping.

In addition, everyone still needs to prepare congratulatory gifts and so on. Calculated, the time is actually very tight. Even if the grand ceremony is held in three months, it is still very tense for people all over the world.

The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty also fully considered this point, so they set the time as three months later as possible.

Of course, if there is enough time, the Ministry of Rites can also make more preparations, so as not to be too hasty.

"Well, you can settle it here."

Zhu Houzhao nodded after listening.

He is in a very bad mood now, and he doesn't have the slightest joy and excitement of being an emperor.

Now he is still worried about Emperor Hongzhi's health. Although Emperor Hongzhi has woken up, his eyesight is gone, and his health is much worse. He is very concerned about it. How can he care about these things now.

Fortunately, Daming now has nothing worth discussing and discussing with everyone. After the coronation ceremony is agreed upon, everyone has nothing to report.

It was so early in the morning.

"Liu Jin, you stay here first."

When everyone was about to leave, Zhu Houzhao left Liu Jin alone.

When everyone else left, Zhu Houzhao also said to Liu Jin: "Old Liu, you have always been resourceful, help to find a way, and see if you can cure Father's eyes."

"Your Majesty, the professors at the Supreme Emperor's Eye Hospital have already said that it should be caused by the compression of the nerves when he fell down, or it was caused by blood pressure and heart failure."

"So you need to rest. After a long period of rest, there is still hope that you can slowly recover your eyesight and your body will become healthier."

"In my opinion, we might as well find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers around the capital and build a royal garden for the Supreme Emperor to rest and recuperate. I believe that the Supreme Emperor's health will gradually recover. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much."

Liu Jin thought about it and said.

"Building a royal garden?"

"That's a nice idea."

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, his eyes lit up slightly. As a son, he must build a good garden for his father, a big garden for peace of mind, so that he can appear more filial, and Emperor Hongzhi It really needs a good rest.

Although the palace is very quiet, it is really not suitable for recuperation and retirement.
