Jinyi champion

The monarchs and ministers each took a step back, paving the way for Zhu Si to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Zhu Si entered the city in the morning of the same day, and entered the imperial palace from Daming Gate at noon. He was escorted by the bodyguards of Yiwei Division of Xingwang Mansion, Jin Yiwei, and the Imperial Forest Army to Fengtian Hall, where he met the ministers who had been waiting there for a long time.

officially enthroned.

Yang Tinghe presided over the enthronement ceremony.

Many civil servants and generals present at the scene did not know Zhu Si, and Yang Tinghe personally introduced them to Zhu Si. In fact, this was originally the eunuch's duty, but Yang Tinghe obviously wanted to tell Zhu Si in this way, who should you listen to when you become emperor.

After a brief introduction, the eunuch Wei Bin, the eunuch in charge of Zhu Si's side, took out the "edict" prepared by Yang Tinghe in advance, which is equivalent to the first imperial edict issued by the emperor after he ascended the throne. The last two sentences are: "... …I am entrusted to Fengzong by the emperor's brother's behest, and I will change the reign name to Shaozhi next year."

Issuing edicts in the name of the emperor, Yang Tinghe has been doing it recently. As a cabinet scholar, he helped the emperor draft the edicts without overstepping, but this edict was only approved by Zhu Sishou to call Zhu Houzhao "Emperor Brother". Did not agree.

Originally, after the edict was promulgated, it was tantamount to implementing it immediately, and the ministers could just bow their heads and obey orders.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Silang asked in a loud voice: "Shaozhi's reign name is not good. Didn't the cabinet make other alternatives?"

When a question comes out, the hairs on everyone's hair stand on end.

It has already been announced as your edict, and you suddenly ask if there are any other alternatives?
This clearly tells the ministers present that this edict was not made by me, and that Shaozhi's reign name was not chosen by me?
Yang Tinghe's face was dark, and he instantly felt as if someone had slapped his face several times.

But Yang Tinghe still bit the bullet and came out and said: "The title of Shaozhi has the meaning of Shaohongzhi's rule and the meaning of reforming the shortcomings of the previous dynasty. It was established to show your majesty's civil rule..."

What Yang Tinghe meant was that Shaozhi's year name has already been chosen, so don't mess around, you are too young to understand the truth, so I will tell you the benefits of this year name, and you just accept it.

Zhu Sidao: "What I'm asking is, is there any other alternative?"

Yang Tinghe's breath was a little uneven, and he said, "There are still Mingliang and Jiajing."

Before Zhu Si arrived in the capital, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites were deciding on the issue of the year name for the coming year. The three candidates were Shaozhi, Mingliang and Jiajing. Specialize.

Zhu Si nodded and said: "Jiajing's year name is better. According to the "Shangshu", 'Don't dare to be peaceful, Jiajing Yinbang. As for the small and big, there is no time or complaint', which means that the emperor is diligent in governing the country. I think that next year's reign name should be Jiajing!"

What I said seemed ordinary, but it seemed to tell everyone present that I, the new emperor, may seem young, but I have never slackened in the cultivation of cultural knowledge. Just tell me a word, and I can clearly tell you the source and explain it. Connotation, but it also hits back at you, making people feel that I am justified in changing the year name you initially set.

Yang Tinghe looked down on Zhu Si at first, he is only the son of a vassal prince, and the only son of King Xing, spoiled since childhood, even after systematic education, he should be no different from a dude, who knows, he refute himself by citing scriptures, He said it so convincingly that neither Yang Ting nor himself knew how to refute it.

Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out and said, "This discussion is very good!"

Just these four words, it shows that Wang Qiong is doing the final dying struggle.

Perhaps Wang Qiong himself knew that Yang Tinghe had nothing to eat after he came to power, so when the emperor first came to the throne, he desperately took the position of the new emperor.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Wang Qiong, and then saluted: "My minister seconded the proposal!"

Zhu Sidao: "Okay, I have met you, my family. Some people who came to the capital with me, I want to arrange to be used by me in the court. Do you have any opinions?"

Yang Tinghe had known for a long time that Zhu Si might install people from Xing Wangfu in the court, but he didn't expect Zhu Si to speak so directly. He thought this kid was not easy to deal with before, but when he saw that he was going to be nepotism when he first took office, he suddenly felt that the new emperor was not good enough. There are so many cities, maybe it's just my own overthinking.

"It should be assessed by the Ministry of Officials, then pushed by the court, and decided by the ministers." Yang Ting said softly.

Zhu Si asked: "Yuan Zonggao, who accompanied me to the palace of the capital, is my husband since I was a child. With his erudite talents and seniority in the court, what kind of official position should he be entrusted with?"

Zhu Si was going to appoint Yuan Zonggao's official position when he came up. In fact, he wanted to push Yuan Zonggao to stand on the cusp of the storm.

Before Yang Tinghe could speak, Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out again and said, "Now the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials is vacant."

"Well, I propose that Yuan Qing's family take over the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. Do you have any objections? If not... let's do it like this!" Zhu Sidao.

The words are too arbitrary.

One after another, Yang Tinghe originally wanted to tell Zhu Si that this kind of thing can be done slowly and there is no need to worry. Now it is just a simple enthronement ceremony, which is to quickly stabilize the court and people's hearts. We will not treat officials of Prince Xing's mansion badly.

But now that Zhu Si brought it up, and Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was helping to fuel the flames, making Yang Tinghe passive on the scene.

"Old Yang Ge, what's your opinion?"

Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe was puzzled for a while, thinking to himself, you are very powerful.

There are so many ministers of the court and the central government gathered here. As a young man, it is the first time for you to participate in such a large-scale court meeting. You are not at all stage frightened at all. You put forward proposals first and then ask me for opinions. Those who don’t know think you are Having been an emperor for several years already has experience.

Yang Tinghe wanted to refuse, or delay, but seeing Liang Chu and Jiang Mian next to him remind him not to refuse bluntly, which would lead to antagonism between monarch and minister, Yang Tinghe said: "If you colleagues have no objections, the old minister will second it."

Zhu Sidao: "Everyone here, who has an opinion?"

Of course no one has an opinion.

After Zhu Si asked three times, he said: "The official department will go to the memorial. I will approve Yuan Changshi's official position. As for other affairs, everything will be handled according to the Ming Dynasty. I will not ask too much. Now I have experienced treachery. In the country, the people’s lives are miserable, and everything should be based on recuperation. I have just ascended to the Great Treasure, and I would like to ask you to give me some pointers if you don’t understand it... I would like to thank you all here first.”

"I dare not wait!"

Originally, Yang Tinghe wanted to label Zhu Si as "self-willed" and "nepotism", but after hearing what Zhu Si said later, it was clear that he knew how to measure and advance and retreat, and he only wanted someone in the court who could help him speak, so he arranged for Yuan Zonggao He went to the Ministry of Officials to be a servant, and Yuan Zonggao's age and qualifications are there. He also served as a Jiangxi inspector. After nine years of examination, he was transferred to the capital as a servant, which is legal.

It is difficult to give the new emperor a bad name.

Zhu Si suddenly looked at Yang Tinghe again, and said: "I heard that after the death of the emperor for more than a month, Mr. Yang Ge supervised the state affairs and arrested a bunch of traitors, waiting to be questioned. They harmed the country and the people, endangered the people, and disturbed the capital and the people of the world. , The crimes committed must be rectified together. I want to convict them as soon as possible to reassure people. May I ask Mr. Yang Ge, do I have the right to take over and let Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigate and deal with their crimes with the party and punish them? "

Zhu Si's shots followed one after another.

Arrange Yuan Zonggao as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and after successful completion, he will firmly take the power of the imperial edict into his own hands, and the opportunity is to convict Jiang Bin, Qian Ning, Yu Jing, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Rui and other courtiers around Zhu Houzhao .

Originally, Yang Tinghe didn't want to delegate power, but the Imperial Prison was originally the exclusive power of the emperor, and now Dongchang and Jinyiwei were only under his temporary control. If the Imperial Prison was controlled by civil officials, it would not be in line with the original intention of the Imperial Prison.

"I dare not object."

Yang Tinghe let go, which means you can decide this kind of thing yourself.

Zhu Si was very satisfied, nodded and said: "I will not act arbitrarily, first send these traitors to prison, find out the crimes and accomplices, and then hand them over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for conviction. The Daoist officials also played the impeachment, and I will consider the pros and cons as appropriate, and hand it over to the prison for investigation!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Not to mention Yang Tinghe, even the other ministers present felt that this young emperor was not simple.

It was the first time everyone met, and it was also the first court meeting. The little emperor did several incredible things in such an orderly manner. First, he changed the year name to let people know that he would not be in charge of the cabinet and the six ministries, and then arranged Yuan Zonggao entered the center of the imperial court, and in the end he was talking about the ownership of the edict and prison. Step by step, it can be said that it is a chain of links, which is impressive.

Yang Tinghe didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The Zhengde court is chaotic, the emperor is messing around, and all the close sycophants have brought disaster to the country and the people, so that the people's resentment is boiling. Now the new emperor has set up a banner to govern the country diligently and bring order out of chaos. You should be happy.

But why can't you be happy?
Taking power right from the start, and holding it so firmly and ruthlessly, made Yang Tinghe feel that the situation is not good. An emperor who is good at using power is good in a short time, but in the long run, he will be self-willed and govern the country in his own way. The final result may be better than a A mischievous emperor is harder to control.

But right now he couldn't say anything.

……

……

An enthronement ceremony is over.

All the ministers went out of the palace to perform their duties.

Before retiring from the court, Zhu Si made it clear that the daily court meeting will not stop in the future, and it seems that he will implement his promise to govern the country diligently.

Originally, Yang Tinghe wanted to raise the question of when the imperial examination, which had been postponed for one year, would be held, but he thought that the emperor had just ascended the throne and would have a lot of time to meet in the future, so there was no need to throw them all at once. If you are dumb, you don't have much to say.

As soon as the ministers left, Zhu Si went to the inner hall to check his future living quarters under the guidance of the eunuch Zhang Yong, the imperial eunuch, and went to pay respects to Empress Dowager Zhang.

"I want to see my grandmother..."

Zhu Si followed his Zhang Yongdao in small steps.

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't call yourself me. Now you are the lord of the world. In the palace, just let me know where you are going."

Zhu Sidao: "Then who I let enter the palace is also a one-sentence matter, right?"
