prosperous age

Chapter 612 611 Ugly?noon.

In Jiachen, officials from the Shuntian government entered the Spring Festival and were exempted from banquets for all officials. Hundreds of civil and military officials, military and civilian seniors, etc. were advised to enter.
The ministers and others bowed down to the que court to persuade them to advance, and turned around to watch the new rain in all phenomena. Shi Yunxing looked forward to the imperial power of the six dragons.

The imperial edict replied that the Emperor Huang Kao Daxing was dying to abandon all nations, and I was alone. I couldn't bear to hear the fact that I was guilty of ascending the throne, so I would not allow it.

Yisi, civil and military officials, military and civilian elders, etc. were persuaded to enter again, saying: Fu Yi Jiuhao.
The imperial edict replied, "Qing and others wrote a letter to persuade you again, which is sincere, but I hate you all the time. Fang Yin can't bear to rush to the big position, so please don't allow it."

In the afternoon of Bingwu, civil and military officials, veterans of the army and civilians, etc., three times advised them to come in, saying: "I will help the people and make it like a square."
The edict replied, "Qing and others said that I should follow the order of heaven and follow the edict, and advised me to repeat my righteousness, which is very correct. I asked the Ministry of Rites to restrain my grief, and said:
The Emperor’s honorable guests mourned and wailed, and the five internal organs were destroyed. However, civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc. considered the importance of their ancestors’ foundation, and the strictness of the Emperor’s testament. Please only tell the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple Sheji, that is, the throne of the emperor, and the Ministry of Rites will choose a day to hear about it.

The words of persuasion were drafted by the Hanlin Academy, and they were naturally written with earnest words, and all the people in the world only recognized King Yu as an emperor.

As for King Yu's reply, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shizhen and Wei Guangde considered and drafted the reply.

Influenced by Gao Gong, King Yu couldn't help alienating Zhang Juzheng these days.

Every time Gao Gong jumped into the palace to meet Yu Wang, to be honest, Wei Guangde was still puzzled.

According to his later impressions, this person should be gone soon.

But looking at Gao Gong's appearance now, doesn't he look like someone who is about to die?

Could it be a sudden death?
These days, sudden deaths are not uncommon.

For some acute diseases, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not as fast as that of western medicine.

Forget, there is no so-called western medicine these days, only witch doctors.

For the third time, King Yu agreed to inherit the throne, and the Ministry of Rites soon sent over the enthronement ceremonies that had been drawn up.

"Brother Yifu, is this copied from the original Yizhu?"

Wei Guangde was looking at the enthronement note sent by the Ministry of Rites in his hand, and asked casually.

"It's all done according to the regulations, in fact, it's the same."

I didn't say it was copied, but the meaning in the words is actually the same.

"It's just that the name of the three halls has been changed, and the wording has changed a bit, haha"

When Wei Guangde was in the Hanlin Academy earlier, he had read the notes on the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Jiajing at that time, and also read the notes on the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Zhengde, and it is still engraved in his mind.

The enthronement ceremony note this time mainly refers to the copy of Emperor Zhengde.

After all, Emperor Jiajing was succeeded by a foreign vassal, and his enthronement ceremony was somewhat special and cannot be used as a basic reference.

According to the enthronement rite note, in the early stage, the department set up supervisors and other yamen to set up the imperial seat in the Zhongji Hall, the throne in the Huangji Hall, and the Qintianjian set up the time drum.

After that, King Yu sent officials to tell the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple and Sheji sooner or later.

In the morning of the same day, he had a filial obedience, attended several feasts with the Emperor Daxing, and only announced his accession to the throne. After receiving the order, he wore a crown of filial piety and worshiped the heavens on His Majesty Dan in the Huangji Hall. At the end of the day, he still served the Emperor Daxing with the crown of gun and had a few banquets, performed five worships and three kowtows, and after he finished, he went to the Yuhuangji Palace.

In the early stage, the Shangbao Division set up the treasure case in the Huangji Hall, the Honglu Temple set up the edict case in the east table case in the hall, and the Danbi Shang Jiaofang Division set up Zhonghe Shaole, which was suspended but not made. Separately set up a cloud plate to set up Yunyu on Chengtianmen, and set up a reading table at Honglu Temple outside the Meridian Gate, facing southwest on Chengtianmen.

It was early in the morning when the bells and drums were ringing, and Jin Yiwei set up a large hall, and all the civil and military officials entered in court clothes. For the next salute, please ascend to the hall, go out from the middle gate to the throne of Yuhuangji Hall, the guards in Jinyi sound the whip, and all the officials in Honghe Temple perform five prostrations and three kowtows. Please issue the imperial edict, the officials of the Hanlin Academy held the edict to confer on the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then placed it on the cloud plate on the case, and went out from the left door of the hall to the outside of the Meridian Gate. As usual, Yichu Qintianjian chose the ugly time of the 26th.

Wei Guangde couldn't help frowning after carefully reading all the enthronement notes, and couldn't help muttering: "When you are ugly, what are you doing?"

"The good loan is because of the time chosen by Qin Tianjian?"

Chen Yiqin naturally heard Wei Guangde's voice, and couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah, ugly time, too early."

Wei Guangde said so in his mouth, but in fact he had already started to scold Qin Tianjian's group of yin and yang people in his heart. At what time did he choose to hold the enthronement ceremony in the middle of the night, those who didn't know thought it was a night walk of ghosts.

Shaking his head, Wei Guangde said to Chen Yiqin: "This enthronement note cannot be handed over to His Highness for the time being, and His Highness will most likely not refute it based on His temperament."

"Ok?"

Chen Yiqin looked at Wei Guangde strangely, wondering if he planned to modify the time calculated by Qin Tianjian without authorization?

"You and I will go to the Qin Tianjian first, ask about the situation, and see if there are other times for the ceremony that day."

While speaking, Wei Guangde shook the enthronement instrument in his hand and said: "If you really ascend the throne at this time, Your Highness will become a joke."

"You mean, although ugly time is the best time, there should be a lesser time, the time to perform the ceremony during the day?"

Chen Yiqin knew Wei Guangde's plan, the ceremony must be moved to the daytime, otherwise what kind of base would he be, the king of ghosts?

"Before so many emperors ascended the throne, which one have you seen is like this? It is definitely not possible to ascend the throne when you are ugly."

Wei Guangde shook his head and said.

King Yu is not good at refuting the meaning of his subjects, and often chooses to make do with it, but Wei Guangde has to say nothing.

"My lords, Your Highness is ready, why don't you go in?"

At this time, Li Fang came out and asked.

So Wei Guangde showed him the enthronement note brought by Chen Yiqin, and focused on the question of the time of enthronement.

When she heard that it was ugly, Li Fang's eyes widened immediately, and she couldn't believe it.

Later, when Wei Guangde said that he and Chen Yiqin were going to the Qin Tianjian, they would wait for another time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Shan Loan, you should go and rest assured about this matter, you go now, I will go in Call His Highness back."

"Thank you, Eunuch Li."

Wei Guangde arched his hands at him.

"It's work."

Chen Yiqin was also like this, and then the two walked quickly towards the palace gate.

In fact, Wei Guangde had already made up his mind at this time, and decided according to the time when the kings ascended the throne in the past. It depends on when most emperors choose to ascend the throne. until.

If you dare to say it's inappropriate, then lock it in the yamen and continue to count on me.

Wei Guangde doesn't intend to reason with these yin and yang people, after all, he comes from later generations, and he doesn't value these gods, ghosts and heaven.

Although his coming here has explained a lot, Wei Guangde still doesn't really believe in fortune-telling.

After watching the two leave, Li Fang quickly returned to the hall.

He knew that Chen Yiqin was coming, but Wei Guangde talked to Chen Yiqin outside for a long time but he didn't bring anyone in, so he sent Li Fang out to have a look.

Now that Li Fang came back, but Wei Guangde and Chen Yiqin didn't follow, King Yu was very strange.

"Why are you alone? Where did Yifu and Shandai go?"

"Your Highness, there is something wrong with the enthronement ceremony note of the Ministry of Rites. Lord Wei and Lord Chen have gone to Qin Tianjian."

Li Fang replied honestly.

"Qin Tianjian?"

King Yu was very strange, but he realized immediately that what Li Fang was talking about should be due to a problem with the timing calculated by Qin Tianjian.

"When did they count?"

King Yu immediately asked.

"The 26th. Ugly hour."

Li Fang said that the date was nothing, but hesitated a little when it came to the specific time.

"How could it be an ugly time?"

Huang Jin who was beside him exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief, but soon realized something.

Although Li Fang has won the trust of King Yu, King Yu has not yet ascended the throne, so naturally he cannot replace the eunuchs in the palace, and Huang Jin has already asked King Yu for an order. Go home for the elderly.

King Yu refused twice, but finally agreed.

So at this time, Huang Jin was still the admiral and eunuch in the palace, the person with the highest official position, so naturally he was temporarily accompanying King Yu.

"Qin Tian monitors the hour, is there anything else to say?"

King Yu frowned and asked Huang Jin.

Huang Jin hesitated to speak, but finally said: "When Mr. Wei comes over, His Highness will find out after asking."

Huang Jin wasn't sure either, but he had some guesses that someone from the outer dynasty did this on purpose to test King Yu's reaction, so that they could get to know King Yu better so that they could act in the future.

But he can't say that, after all, he is a person who wants to leave the power center, so there is no need to make enemies for himself.

Emperor Jiajing is gone, and Huang Jin has changed from a popular eunuch in the court to an insignificant person, which is why he has no backing.

Although I wanted Yu Wang to show kindness before, it was just to be able to enjoy his old age peacefully.

King Yu has already agreed, so I don't want to talk too much in front of him. This is Wei Guangde's chance to show himself.

When Wei Guangde and Chen Yiqin arrived at the Qin Tianjian, they immediately detained everyone in the lobby according to their own ideas, and first let them find out the time when the emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne.

"At noon, this hour is the most."

After seeing the relevant records, Wei Guangde told Chen Yiqin what he noticed in a low voice.

"Most of them choose Chenshi and Wushi. What's the point of this?"

Chen Yiqin didn't think about the tricks at the moment. After all, in his opinion, Qin Tianjian should be the most professional institution, and the time they proposed must be the best time, which cannot be refuted.

"Is the same hour an auspicious time on different days?"

Wei Guangde saw that Chen Yiqin hadn't understood what he meant, so he hinted in a low voice.

"you mean"

When Chen Yiqin was reminded by Wei Guangde, he came to his senses.

Yes, it should not be so.

Wei Guangde nodded his head from Chen Yiqin, expressing his meaning, the rest is Chen Yiqin's.

Chen Yiqin is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he can be regarded as the upper official of Qin Tianjian, so he can give orders to them naturally.

Chen Yiqin nodded, then called Qin Tianjian and said: "The auspicious time you calculated before was very wrong, now you have to calculate another suitable time, and His Highness will choose the time."

Chen Yiqin's words were quite polite, he did not pursue the previous responsibilities, but tactfully asked Qin Tianjian to choose a suitable time again, so that the people of Qin Tianjian could save face, and everyone was happy.

After all, King Yu's succession to the throne is a great thing, and they don't want to cause trouble.

Otherwise, Wei Guangde would not speak nicely when he entered the Qin Tianjian, but would directly slap people's ears.

In fact, the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian also knew that it was really inappropriate to choose ugly before. How could the emperor succeed in the middle of the night, but someone calculated that it was a good time.

Now that the Shangguan is here, even if it is about this matter, naturally he can't continue to be careless.

"Master Chen, wait a moment. I'll ask them to calculate the hours of that day to see if there is a better time."

Chen Yiqin handed him the steps, and he had to catch them, otherwise he would lose face to Qin Tianjian, "Also invite the adults to have tea, it will take a lot of time."

The prison was going down to arrange for people to recalculate the auspicious time, Wei Guangde and Chen Yiqin sat opposite each other.

"Do you want to find out what's going on?"

Chen Yiqin now fully understands that this incident should not be accidental, it was deliberately done by someone in the court.

If they are disrespectful to King Yu, they have to find a way to get the place back.

"Forget it, they should also be temptations."

Wei Guangde thought for a while before saying: "If His Highness really agrees, someone will bring up this matter after it is issued to the Ministry of Rites. Please discuss it again, Your Highness."

Wei Guangde felt that he had grasped the pulse of the perpetrators and guessed their intentions.

So what if you find out?

Can it still be punished for this?

As long as the people from the Qin Tianjian killed Chou, it would be an auspicious time, and there was nothing they could do.

"Wait until His Highness ascends the throne to see the situation, as long as they are honest, it's fine, otherwise we hidden old ministers must not sit idly by."

Wei Guangde whispered to Chen Yiqin.

After waiting for more than an hour, the new result came out. It was still the time when the ugly time was the best, followed by the time of noon, and then the time of day.

With this result, Wei Guangde and Chen Yiqin were quite satisfied.

"Let's go back to the palace and report to His Highness. As for whether to choose noon or Chen time, His Highness will decide."

Wei Guangde said to Chen Yiqin.

"As it should be."

Chen Yiqin readily agreed at this moment, but in fact he was still upset about it.

If he had thought about it more, this would not have happened. He asked Qin Tianjian to schedule a few optional times early in the morning. At this moment, King Yu had already chosen the time and issued the enthronement note.

When they returned to the palace to meet King Yu and presented the enthronement note drafted by the Ministry of Rites, King Yu nodded. After all, they all acted according to the ancestral system. Even if he didn't like some of the links, he wouldn't say much.

"Your Highness, only the agenda of kissing the queen is missing, everything else is the same."

Wei Guangde reminded.

The queen he was talking about was not King Yu's concubine. He was not the emperor at the moment, so naturally it was impossible to make the concubine a queen.

However, Emperor Jiajing has long since ceased to register a queen, so the queen mentioned here is actually the queen who was registered before Emperor Jiajing and the mother and concubine of King Yu.

Before the official enthronement edict was issued, King Yu was just King Yu, not an emperor.

"can."

King Yu nodded and said after reading Yi's notes.

Immediately Wei Guangde handed the note recording the auspicious time calculated by the Qintian Supervisor to Yu Wang, "In addition to the ugly time, the Qintian Supervisor also calculated that Chenshi and Noon are both auspicious times, please Your Highness to choose the time."

"Just at noon."

King Yu didn't think much about it. Noon was the second time. If the first ugly time can't be used, then the second time is used.

His thinking is still very simple.
