Chapter 6: Enthronement Ceremony
As soon as the next day was dawn, Zhu Houcan was already shouted by Huang Jin. Several palace maids and eunuchs were serving Zhu Houcan to dress and wash. After dressing up, Zhu Houcan put on a temporary dragon robe. This dragon cannon was used by Emperor Zhengde, but due to the urgency of time, he modified the dragon robe of Emperor Zhengde's sacrifice. He thought Zhu Houcan would be furious about this, but Zhu Houcan not only did not blame him, but instead praised the eunuch, the leader of Shangyijian, and asked everyone in the palace to be thrifty.
Therefore, it was circulating in the palace that the new emperor was approachable and compassionate with his subordinates.
Wang Jun, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace early and asked the emperor to ascend the throne in advance.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Zhu Houcong felt a little in his heart. Even if this person firmly opposed his father, Huangkao, in the future, he would have done it early.
The old man didn't know that he had been remembered by Jiajing and was still teaching etiquette to the new emperor with great care. Zhu Houcong cooperated very well. After all, today is a big day to ascend the throne, and after today there are opportunities to deal with these old guys.
"Your Majesty doesn't know if the empress's statement can be made clear"?
Zhu Houcan nodded obediently, "Clear, understand." It was only April and the weather was not very hot. Looking at Wang Jun, whose chest was wet with sweat, Zhu Houcan suddenly felt much less hatred. "Forget it, I am still a little soft-hearted. As long as this old man is willing to give in, he is a good candidate to replace Mao Cheng."
Suddenly, Zhu Houqiu stood up and supported Wang Jun with both hands. "I think Mr. is sweating so I might as well sit down and explain. People come to see the teacher's tea as soon as possible."
Wang Jun looked at Zhu Houcong in surprise. Where did the emperor who spoke with the ministers the day before yesterday go? Could it be that everything is an illusion?
Seeing Wang Jun pondering, Zhu Hou's face sighed, "If you don't hide it from me, I will naturally not betray my ancestors as a son. The things I had done the day before were a great regret in my heart. I am not an unreasonable person. I know that I am young and I need the assistance of my great affairs in the court. All of you are old ministers in the court. I have given me experience and instructions. Please give me some careful guidance."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Houcong actually bowed to Wang Jun solemnly, which scared Wang Jun. Since ancient times, there is no reason why the emperor apologized to his ministers. For a moment, Wang Jun didn't know what was wrong.
"Sir, please get up quickly. I believe that with the help of you, you will be able to revive the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houcan only held Wang Jun's shoulders, "Please help me with all your heart"!
This move was taught by the old antiques, which is called "the tactic of hard to get".
Feeling the power from the emperor's hands in front of him, Wang Jun's eyes were filled with tears for a moment, "I am incompetent and can't share your worries for Your Majesty."
Zhu Houcon was a little happy, "Are you very moved? You are almost crying, you can't help but make fun of it. Hurry up and bow down at my feet, I'm waiting for you to throw yourself into your arms."
Unexpectedly, Wang Jun did not show any excitement and said some scenes tightly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that he is ashamed of the previous emperor and the court. Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will definitely not be humiliated."
However, until Wang Jun left the palace, his head was still floating, and he didn't know what he should say. He had never encountered such courtesy from the emperor. If he was wronged and opposed the emperor, wouldn't he be an old bastard? Thinking of Mao Cheng's instructions to the entire Ministry of Rites yesterday and Yang Tinghe's authority, Wang Jun began to stir up trouble in his heart. On one side was the court's court etiquette, civil officials' interest group, and on the other side was the court's court's grace of the new emperor. Wang Jun began to hesitate between interests and principles.
"What a cute old man, why should he be so stubborn? As long as he is obedient, I will not be stingy with the gifts." After just two WeChat chats, Zhu Hougui had completely convinced the old antiques of history. In his eyes, those people were not people of time and space as himself, and were like gods. Moreover, the unique habits of modern people such as free and easy carelessness and neglecting details have unknowingly entered Zhu Hougui's young mind.
The entire throne ceremony was fully implemented in accordance with the "History of Ming Dynasty? Li Zhi". The supervisor Chen Yu's throne was set up at Fengtianmen, the "Imperial Heavenly Prison" was set up at the drum, the "Shangbao Prison" was set up to treasure case, and the "Jiaofang Prison" was set up to Zhonghe Shao Music.
An official from the Ministry of Rites came to report: "Your Majesty told the Tiandi Sect that the Tiandi Sect has been completed. Please ask Your Majesty to dress up in the imperial court." Wang Jun respectfully invited Zhu Houguan to the Temple of Heaven.
As the bell and drums ring, dong dong dong dong dong, every drum sound happens to cater to Zhu Houcan's heart, and every time he hits, he is one step closer to truly dominating the world.
Taking bright steps, Zhu Houcan slowly stood on the city gate, looking at the infinite country in the distance, "I, Zhu Houcan, will dominate this country from today"!
After the sacrifice was announced to the heavens and the ancestors, Zhu Hougui slowly walked into the Fengtian Hall under the guidance of officials from the Honglu Temple.
"Please take your seat." As the sings were made, the civil and military officials who had already waited outside the Meridian Gate put on their court clothes and stood in sequence according to the official ranks.
"The new emperor ascended the throne and performed a bow and worship ceremony."
All civil and military officials, both civil and military officials, both civil and military officials, both left and right, knelt at Zhu Houguan's feet. At this moment, Zhu Houguan's body had a layer of majesty, which was the majesty of the emperor who dominated the world. The emperor was furious and buried millions of corpses.
Zhu Houcong did not speak, and the ministers below, regardless of age, and their official positions, knelt down respectfully and did not dare to make any moves.
Zhu Houcong secretly swore, "As sooner or later, you will kneel down at my feet like today."
"You all have a flat body."
"Kow on thanking the emperor for his kindness". As the civil and military officials of the court stood up, Zhu Houcan's hierarchy ended.
Yang Tinghe was wearing a first-class vermilion robe and stepped out sideways, "I asked Your Majesty that the new emperor ascended the throne and had a virtue in the world, and the year name was Jiajing. He was kind to the world. I asked for a general amnesty."
"Acceptance"!
"All officials report early when they have something to do, and the statutes are finished if they have nothing to do."
Looking at the ministers walking out, Zhu Houcan waved his hand, and Huang Jin, who had already been waiting beside him, hurried forward.
"You go and send some gift boxes from Lord Wang Jun's mansion, and say thank you for your careful explanation. I have benefited a lot and hope that Lord Wang can become my husband."
Huang Jin shrank his head, "Master, we don't have the money to do business."
"You fool don't go to Luo Xiang to ask for it, just say I want it. If this guy dares not give it to me, get out immediately."
After all, Zhu Houcan is only fifteen years old. According to convention, the Ministry of Rites will select teachers for Zhu Houcan tomorrow. Zhu Houcan does not like to passively accept it. Instead of passively accepting it, it is better to take the initiative.
Wang Jun, who had just returned home, had not sat firmly yet, and the butler's breathing sound came from outside.
"Master, I'm not doing well."
"What kind of slut, what kind of moral character does Ah Fu have?"
"A father-in-law came outside, and said that the imperial edict was issued in the palace. You should go out and have a look."
