Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 4 One year for three emperors
Yao Zongwen, this person used to work as an accountant in the household department, but he resigned and returned to his hometown because of the funeral.

After returning to the court, he wanted to become an official, so he slapped his beard all the way, and then he was able to sit in the current position.

In August of this year, when Zhu Youjian's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, had just passed away, Nurhachi attacked Puhesuo in Shenyang.

Due to the disparity in strength, more than [-] Ming troops in Puhe were scattered and killed, but generals such as He Shixian also had the credit for beating the enemy and capturing the enemy.

It stands to reason that this battle was not an accident. After all, there was a disparity in the strength of the two forces. It is normal for Puhe to be defeated. He Shixian was able to capture the head of the empress gold, and the captured soldiers were already good.

However, because Xiong Tingbi did not recommend him to be an official, Yao Zongwen slandered him in the court. Later, he also framed Xiong Tingbi for not training soldiers and embezzling military pay, which led to the dismissal of Xiong Tingbi by the court, and Nurhachi took advantage of the emptiness and directly captured the Liaodong Peninsula. , Let the Ming Dynasty retreat to the Guangning area west of the Liaohe River.

To sum it up, this guy is a guy who relies on slapstick to get in the top position, and then uses his grievances to frame others at will.

After Zhu Youjian knew what happened to him, he naturally didn't have a good face towards him.

But he didn't put his face on his face, just interrupted Yao Zongwen's words, and said softly to Zhu Youxiao:
"The state affairs are difficult. At this time, the etiquette system can be put behind a little bit. The emperor's brother should succeed to the throne early and preside over Huang Kao's funeral."

As soon as Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Only then did they notice that it was Zhu Youjian who brought Zhu Youxiao out of the Qianqing Palace, and also arranged for Jin Yiwei to escort him.

Zhu Youjian was only ten years old, but he was so mature and stable. Many civil servants nodded secretly, but they regretted it secretly.

They only lamented that Zhu Youjian was not the eldest son and could not inherit the imperial line.

But this kind of thought can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart, but I can't say it directly.

"Well, my brother is right."

Zhu Youxiao is very dependent on Zhu Youjian now. Although it feels a little strange, what Zhu Youjian did just now gave him a lot of sense of security.

"Lu Wenzhao, you will escort the emperor's brother and all the ministers to the Wenhua Palace, and order the bells and [-] pestles in the Taoist temples in Beijing!"

"Obey!" Lu Wenzhao didn't care. This is the second time Zhu Youjian said this, because when he said it just now, all the civil servants were away, which could not show Zhu Youjian's calmness.

Now I say it again, it's just for show to civil servants.

Seeing Lu Wenzhao's response, Zhu Youjian also wrote to Zhu Youxiao:

"Brother Huang is tired, and my younger brother will return to Xu[xù] Qin Palace first."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Youxiao grabbed Zhu Youjian's hand, and a kind smile appeared on his delicate and immature face:

"Brother walks with me."

Speaking, Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether Zhu Youjian was willing or not, grabbed Zhu Youjian's wrist and walked towards Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Youjian was also stunned, because logically speaking, at his age, he would definitely not participate in such a major national event.

However, under Zhu Youxiao's pull, although Zhu Youjian's strength is several times that of ordinary peers because of his rebirth, he can only be dragged away in front of his brother who is good at carpentry and exercising in disguise.

In other words, he actually wanted to go to the Wenhua Palace and witness history with his own eyes.

Lu Wenzhao watched the actions of Zhu Youxiao's two brothers, and hurriedly led Jin Yiwei to follow, while Fang Congzhe and other civil servants stared wide-eyed, but did not dare to offend Zhu Youxiao at this time.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, there were many things about the vassal king witnessing the succession of the prince, and even a lot of things about the vassal king supervising the country.

For example, Emperor Wanli, the grandfather of Zhu Youxiao's two brothers, handed over the court to his younger brother King Lu every time he left the palace, and King Lu supervised the country.

Now that Zhu Youxiao spoke, they naturally dared not stop this group of veterans who had not done any meritorious service.

The most important thing at present is to let Zhu Youxiao succeed to the throne quickly, and then announce the death of Zhu Changluo to the world, and then preside over Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne.

A group of poor veterans rushed over in a hurry, and before taking a few breaths, they continued to follow Zhu Youxiao and the others towards the Wenhua Palace.

Passing through the ruins of the three main halls along the way, after passing the gate of Wenlou, they finally came to Wenhua Hall, an important place that decided the major events of the Ming Dynasty for more than [-] years...

Wenhua Hall, a palace building built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, is located to the east of the Meridian Gate of the Outer Dynasty, facing the Wuying Hall from east to west.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Wenhua Palace was the place where the crown prince observed government affairs. However, since the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was mostly young after Zhu Biao, it was later changed to the emperor's private hall.

In the Yongle period, the cabinet and the six ministers often stayed here, and in the Chenghua period, the cabinet scholars came here to work almost every day.

Zhu Youjian was dragged into Wenhua Palace by Zhu Youxiao, and then he saw hundreds of ministers gathered here, waiting for news.

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live..."

But when Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao entered the palace, all the ministers and workers immediately pushed the golden mountain and overturned the jade pillars. Regardless of Zhu Youxiao's chair, they shouted long live.

"flat body"

After all, he is the emperor's grandson personally selected by Emperor Wanli. Although Zhu Youxiao loves carpentry, he has a bit of a stubborn personality, and he is even more timid towards Concubine Li Kang...

But at this moment, he assumed the posture of a superior, raised his hand generously, and signaled all the officials to stand up.

He dragged Zhu Youjian, and was about to walk to the Yu'an, and wanted Zhu Youjian to stand beside the Yu'an.

His actions frightened Zhu Youjian quite a bit, and quickly reminded him in a low voice:

"Emperor brother can't, it's enough for the younger brother to listen below."

"How can there be so many rules? Brother, just come here!"

At this time, Zhu Youxiao's character became tough instead. In this way, in front of all the officials and ministers, he dragged Zhu Youjian to the imperial case, and then sat with Zhu Youjian in the Wenhua Palace, overlooking the officials. .

"Long live! Long live! Long live..." Fang Congzhe was the first to react. He sang the salute first, and after the reaction, all the officials followed suit and sang loudly.

For a moment, the voice of Shan Huan live came from the Wenhua Palace, and echoed in the square in front of the Wenhua Palace.

At this moment, all the temples and Taoist temples in the capital, as well as the bell towers of the imperial court, all rang the big bells.

The sound of the bell was a little messy at first, but it gradually became uniform. After the bell struck dozens of times, all the princes, ministers, merchants, and common people who were resting at home couldn't help feeling terrified.

The emperor died and the bell was struck [-] times...

An ordinary person can experience this kind of thing once in a lifetime, but the millions of common people in the capital have already experienced it once a month ago.

Now it's ringing again?Would not it be……

Everyone's mood sank, but it wasn't because of Zhu Changluo's death, but because the mourning just ended, and it was going to happen again!
