Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 454 Preparing to Ascend the Throne
"Daming Hongwu ten years, autumn. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty thought that he was unwell and not fit to work on political affairs, but the country cannot live without a king, and the people cannot live without an emperor. In order to appease the hearts of the people and obey the will of heaven, he gave way to the prince. The Ming Dynasty Weekly informs the people of the world..."

Storytellers everywhere in the capital wantonly advertised the latest content, and the people who got up early surrounded the storytellers.

Some people held willow branches in their mouths, and some buns took a bite and held them in their hands.Others listened to the news and were in a daze.

Someone bought some warm biscuits, and before they could eat them, the beggar next to them took the opportunity to snatch them away.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to snatch Lao Tzu's biscuits, and return them." The man took off his shoes and threw them at the beggar, but unfortunately he missed.

At the gate of Li's mansion, Li Shanchang was supported by two concubines who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, and went to the official newspaper clerk to buy a copy.

"Yo, Prime Minister, how dare we take your money."

"Take it, it's time to give it." Li Shanchang took the newspaper, began to read the small letters on it, glanced at the direction of the imperial city, and muttered to himself, the crown prince is what people want.

The weekly newspaper has been sold for so many years, although it has not made a profit, but now, it has become a must-read everywhere, except for some remote prefectures and counties that can only receive the weekly newspaper every few days, and Nanzhili has timely news.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said, the crown prince has the appearance of a virtuous monarch. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has assisted us in matters big and small... The direction of the sky, we follow the will of heaven, the ancestors' etiquette, and the emperor is located in the crown prince. In the next year, the first month On the fourth day of the lunar new year, only the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country will be announced, and they will succeed the emperor in Fengtian Hall, and their father, Emperor Hongwu, will be honored as the Supreme Emperor."

Originally, everyone wanted to take advantage of this incident to create a wave of conspiracy theories, but His Majesty the Emperor personally wrote an article in the weekly newspaper to let the people of the world hear their own feelings.

Those who wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the conspiracy were slapped in the face. In Fengtian Hall, the emperor announced it himself and wrote it himself.All civil and military officials saw and heard it with their own eyes.

Emperor Zhu did this to prevent Zhu Biao from being guessed by some people, so that he could legitimately inherit the Datong.

In order to prevent unruly people from taking the opportunity to cause turmoil in the court, the Ming Dynasty will prosper steadily, and there can be no other things.

Zhu Wei and other princes were also very happy, and they supported Zhu Biao.

Zhu Di and Zhu Xi are training soldiers and won't be back for a while.

Even if Zhu Bian was unwilling, but now that the situation has become a major situation, and he is going to fight in other countries, he will give up.

Ascension to the throne is not a trivial matter. The court is busy preparing, and the yamen are also operating nervously.

In history, when a new emperor ascends the throne, the Yuan will be changed, and the new year names will be drafted by academic scholars who have read poetry and books for the emperor to choose, or the emperor himself will choose.

The Ministry of Rites prepared several year names for Emperor Zhu and Zhu Biao to choose from, namely Shunde, Jianwen, Kanglong, and Tianyan.

Shunde, governed by the sky, is a great virtue, Zhu Biao doesn't like this very much.

Jianwen still forget it, Zhu Biao doesn't want it at all, how can this repeat the same mistakes.

He didn't like Conlon.

I don't like it so I don't use it, it's just so capricious.

I thought about using Yongle, but after much deliberation, it was still useless. I used Yongle, and my son was also called Zhu Yunchi, and I was going to go the old way again.

In the end, Lao Zhu saw that Zhu Biao was picking and choosing, and directly decided to choose Tianyan.

Lao Zhu's explanation is: Tianyan, which means following the will of heaven and winning the hearts of the people, Heqing Haiyan!

Seeing Emperor Zhu forcefully explain, Zhu Biao couldn't say anything more. His year name was not as domineering as Hongwu Emperor Laozi.

Old Zhu felt in his heart that giving up his position to Zhu Biao was in accordance with God's will and in response to the hearts of the people.

All the officials were enthusiastic about the year name, but in the end they had nothing to say about the one chosen by Lao Zhu, who made him the emperor.

It is also up to the emperor to call him a cat or a dog.

The year name is determined first, but it cannot be officially used until after ascension to the throne. It is set on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the new year.

This is the time calculated by Liu Bowen.

In the next time, the Ministry of Rites will prepare the imperial crown, dragon robes, various ceremonial robes, etc., as well as the emperor's jade seal and the queen's seal, which must be re-engraved.

After all, the emperor's various jade seals add up to a lot.Each jade seal has an independent function, such as grand ceremonies, vassal state administration, canonization and rewards, daily edicts, religious culture, dispatching troops and generals, etc., each has its own jade seal.

These jade seals will be invaluable in later generations, any one of them.

For example, Emperor Qianlong's seal has 170 squares, and Qianlong's seal often appears in later generations.

On the day of the winter solstice, Emperor Zhu, Zhu Biao, Empress Ma, Crown Princess Chang Shi, Xu Shi, Zhu Yunchi, and Zhu Yunyang all gathered at a table.

When the banquet was held, Zhu Biao personally went to Chengqian Palace to ask Shen if he knew it, but she declined, saying that it was not in accordance with the etiquette.

Empress Ma brought Huaiping and Zhu Yunye over, saying that it was a family feast and the children should not be forgotten.

Zhu Biao and Emperor Zhu talked again, talking about these years and the future residence.

Zhu Biao insisted on letting Lao Zhu continue to live in his Qianqing Palace, but Lao Zhu refused to live or die, saying that he would live in Jiangshan Palace near Tudou Manor.

Jiangshan Hall is surrounded by Zhu Biao once asked craftsmen and painters to make miniature landscapes of mountains, rivers and rivers from all over the north and south of the Ming Dynasty and put them there.

Surrounded by houses.

Lao Zhu said that he has more time to see Daming Rivers and Mountains every day.

Zhu Biao thought for a while, a new capital would be built in the future, and this palace city would still be Lao Zhu's residence in the future, so he agreed to live in Jiangshan Palace.

The Qianqing Palace is paired with the Kunning Palace, this cannot be messed up.

Therefore, Queen Ma said that her bedroom would also be reserved for the new queen next year.Live in Jiangshan Palace with Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu is very willing.

The residence can be changed, but Zhu Biao still feels the power of the harem, and still let Empress Ma manage it, with the help of the Crown Princess.

The first is that Lao Zhu and other children and concubines are still living there.The place remains the same.Even if Empress Ma becomes the queen mother, these people in the harem still need her to manage.Let Chang Shi go with her.

The second is that he hasn't thought about the issue of standing up.

The treatment of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma is still the same as before, and everyone is willing to do so from the bottom of their hearts.

At the end of the family banquet, Zhu Biao took Yuan Bao to send the two children back.

Now preparations are underway for the second sea trip, and Sapphire and Sanbao are preparing every day.

Ge Shuhan followed Tao Chengdao and said that he would not return to America.

The servant who has been with him for the longest time is Yuan Bao, who is clever in doing things, but he doesn't talk much, doesn't make connections, and pulls gangs.Zhu Biao was very satisfied with this, so he used him.

The wind in winter night is a bit cold.

"Father, why can't mother go tonight?" Huaiping asked.

"Sister, dad doesn't want you anymore." Zhu Yunye said.

"I don't want you."

Zhu Biao looked at the two children and said with a smile: "Father loves you the most. Otherwise, why would I visit you every night?"

"Let's go back, father still has something to discuss with your mother."

"Grandfather." Zhu Yunye said.

"Tomorrow, let Lu Zhong take you there." Zhu Biao knew what he meant.

Huai Ping said with disgust: "I don't want to go, there are account books everywhere at my grandfather's place, it's annoying to death."

Zhu Yunye liked it very much, and sometimes Xia Yuanji would take him along, and what he had the most contact with was the abacus.

Zhu Biao didn't care about other trivial matters in the future, and the Ministry of Rites and civil officials rushed to do it.

In the winter of the tenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Zhu was in a good mood every day. Except for the morning court, he would watch sweet potatoes in the greenhouse at other times.

Baked sweet potatoes are good, his hobby.

The manor is surrounded by greenhouses. Nowadays, there is no such technology as plastic, and it is impossible to realize that technology. We will improve the greenhouse according to the practice of the greenhouse in the Han Dynasty.

　Ask for a ticket, plan to push the timeline faster, try to write as coolly and warmly as possible.After all, life is already stressful, so books are warmer.
