Chapter 960 Passing the throne
"Long live, long live, long live!" The ministers were excited, and some old ministers who were staggeringly wiped their tears silently.
Then, the ministers began to cheer again: "Your Highness, Thousand Years, Thousand Years!"
Zhu Cilang raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen and smiled. This was a time worth celebrating. For a long time, Zhu Cilang was a tight bowstring. He was afraid that he could not hold on and would break it at any time.
Now, his whole body and mind are relaxed. He is relaxed like never before, and he is calm like never before.
This was the case with Emperor Chongzhen. From the day he ascended the throne, he was trembling as if walking on thin ice. At that time, Wei Zhongxian was in power, and his emperor was in danger of his life at any time.
The situation was in a difficult situation at that time, and even when Emperor Chongzhen entered the palace, he couldn't sleep at night and kept his sword around him at any time. At that time, Empress Yi'an even reminded him not to eat the food in the palace to prevent being poisoned by Wei Zhongxian. It can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen was indeed in a difficult situation.
This is not the most terrifying thing. As soon as he was elected as emperor, the Qing Dynasty rushed into the pass and approached the city of Beijing.
Emperor Chongzhen was really frightened and even got confused. He killed Yuan Chonghuan in a daze. Then, bandits in the country rose up everywhere.
The worst thing is that natural disasters are constant. Either drought or floods, or locust plagues. Thousands of miles of naked land and starvation are everywhere. Perhaps there is no more unlucky emperor than Chongzhen.
Every day when I wake up, either a disaster occurs in a certain place or a city is captured by bandits. What’s so bad is that even Fengyang, the hometown of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was dug up the ancestral tomb.
At that time, Chongzhen was almost in a panic all day and had no day of peace.
Now, the world has already become peaceful. There is no war in the world, and the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia surrender. There is no war in the Ming Dynasty within the world. The people can finally rest and recuperate.
Emperor Chongzhen himself can finally live his life.
The same was true for Zhu Cilang. He was relaxed like never before, and the ministers below were extremely excited. The Ming Dynasty finally welcomed the hero.
The ministers called Emperor Chongzhen on the mountain, and the prince Zhu Cilang on the mountain, and the ministers called Prince Zhu Cilang on the mountain, and the ministers were called Emperor Zhu Cilang on the mountain.
Zhu Cilang stood up and raised his right arm high: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the people!"
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then shouted at the mountain: "Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the people! Long live Your Majesty, thousand live the prince!"
The ministers were excited, but they couldn't be excited. The main reason was that the prince's victory returned to the court and sniffed everyone's passion. If he could choose, no one would choose to be a bad person.
If there is a choice, no one is willing to choose to be a corrupt official. Everyone wants to be a famous official and famous official who has been famous in history. We need such an opportunity.
The prince Zhu Cilang created such an opportunity. If Zhu Cilang was the revival king, he would definitely create a prosperous era. A prosperous era would definitely be famous throughout the ages.
The ministers who follow the crown prince will naturally become famous in history. Only in the hands of a wise ruler will a large number of famous ministers appear. Or in the hands of a benevolent ruler, a large number of famous ministers are created.
For example, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, many famous officials emerged. Moreover, they were all recorded in history. The Jinshi list in the second year of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty was hailed as the first in the thousand years of the imperial examination in China. The eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties gathered four people in this imperial examination. The chief examiners Ouyang Xiu, together with Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and Su Shi, were collectively known as the "Four Great Masters of Eternal Articles" by later generations.
The other three of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties were Su Shi, Su Che, and Zeng Gong. There were two of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties who were in the capital at that time, one was Su Xun who accompanied his son to take the exam, and the other was Wang Anshi, who was the judge of the group shepherd. In other words, six of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties gathered in the capital that year.
Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu, Bao Zheng, Pang Ji, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Zhang Yaozuo, Zeng Gongliang, Lu Gongbi, Lu Dafang, etc., are all famous in history.
Di Qing, Yang Yanzhao, Wang Deyong, Yang Wenguang, Zhong Shiheng, Zhong Yan, Zhong Shidao, and Cao Wei, who are not famous for their military achievements.
Shao Yong, Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Xian, Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Cai Xiang, Huang Tingjian, Sun Shi, Liu Chang, Hu Yuan, Sun Fu, Shi Jie, Lu Dalin, and Liu Yan, who are not outstanding in thought and culture.
Shen Kuo, Su Song, Bi Sheng, Wang Weiyi acupuncture experts, Qian Yi pediatric experts, Yan Su restoration guide car, record the drum cart, write "Sea Tide Chart" to explain the formation of tides, and a large number of scientists such as Jia Xian mathematicians.
It can be said that Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty had many famous ministers. This all originated from the fact that Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty was peaceful all over the world and the emperor was generous and kind.
Now, as the successor, Zhu Cilang, if he created a prosperous era, then the ministers here will probably ascend to heaven as well.
The ministers thought about how they could not be excited. Some people began to cry loudly, and the Minister of Revenue was the Minister of Revenue. Over the years, the Ministry of Revenue has known how difficult it is for the imperial court. From the beginning, the treasury was empty, and mice cried when they saw it. Until now, the treasury is unprecedentedly rich.
Then, the other ministers cried together. They were excited. Even the eunuch Wang Chengen, who was beside Emperor Chongzhen, couldn't help but wipe her tears quietly.
Zhu Cilang was very pleased. At least the ministers in the court are no longer in the same position as before. These newly promoted ministers can be regarded as useful ministers.
After everyone cried, Emperor Chongzhen stood up.
The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne to maintain solemnity to show the emperor's majesty. However, Emperor Chongzhen was abnormal and stood up from the dragon throne today. Moreover, Wang Chengen, the personal eunuch next to him, seemed to be indifferent to this. Logically speaking, as a personal eunuch, he should promptly remind the emperor of his ideas and appearance.
It was like Emperor Chongzhen who stood up from the morning hall, but it still surprised all the ministers. Everyone looked at Chongzhen in surprise, but Emperor Chongzhen looked solemn: "I will announce an imperial edict from today."
The ministers below were immediately silent. Some people probably began to think, Long live the emperor, this is a reward for merit. Those soldiers who fought bloody battles on the border will finally receive the reward they deserve.
The generals who follow His Highness the Crown Prince to the north this time will inevitably be greatly promoted. At the same time, this is also to cultivate the power of the Crown Prince. In the future, it will lay the foundation for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne.
However, what no one expected was that what Emperor Chongzhen read out was the imperial edict of abdication. You should know that Emperor Chongzhen was in his prime.
In other words, Emperor Chongzhen was in his prime. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen lost the recklessness of young people, but was more calm in middle age. It can be said that it was a time when he had great achievements. Emperor Chongzhen actually wanted to give way in his prime.
