Chapter 3 Burning the Hongde Hall
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was embarrassed, Zhu Youjian withdrew his gaze and glanced for a week, he found that Queen Zhang was nodding at him.
Zhu Youjian also nodded at her, and he naturally understood the rules of saying so much.
"Your Majesty has just passed away and is deeply saddened. All the ministers should not talk about this."
After Zhu Youjian said that, he wiped his tears.
The ministers who were kneeling were naturally not fools. They knew more about the principle of saying three words and giving in. After all, in the past seven years, three emperors died in the Ming Dynasty. The process of the late emperor mourning and the new emperor ascending the throne was very familiar with them.
Seeing that Zhu Youjian cooperated with them in the performance, the ministers stopped persuading each other and began to think about the memorials of the second persuasion.
Zhu Youjian was idle and accompanied the waves of royal relatives who came to pay their respects to the condolences. The important officials of the court cried and met them again.
On that day, the court officials began to persuade them twice. The last time, there was a joint letter from the people from all over the Ming Dynasty, and there were also auspiciousness from all over the country.
Purple smoke was found on Mount Tai in Shandong, clear springs emerged in the desert in the northwest, giant dragons flashed in the southeast sea, and seven-colored divine birds were found in the southwest.
Zhu Youjian looked through the joint names of the people from all over the world, and then looked at the auspiciousness that emerged from all over the world.
Zhu Youjian really wanted to say something, there is no picture or truth.
But then I looked at these gray-haired officials of the court and felt a little reluctant. It was not easy to get so much material in just a few hours.
Zhu Youjian finally agreed reluctantly and then decided to ascend the throne tomorrow.
All the ministers were relieved when they heard this, fearing that this man would not understand the rules and instead learned from Wang Mang to persuade Jiujin to do whatever he wanted, so he quickly knelt down and shouted long live.
Zhu Youjian waved his hand and signaled all the ministers to get up. Then he walked to the cabinet chief minister, Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, Zuozhuguo, Crown Prince and Minister of Personnel Huang Liji, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. Work overtime at night, work hard and do your best."
Huang Liji was stunned for a moment and couldn't recover for a long time.
When Zhu Youjian walked out of the hall, he realized his reaction and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's heavy trust."
Zhu Youjian walked out of the hall and heard Huang Liji's thanks. Then he said the second sentence in his heart: "For the sake of your persuasion, you may be able to save your life."
Zhu Youjian knew Huang Liji's character and was just a delicate egoist.
In order to accept the letter of fame for Wei Zhongxian, he ignored the overall situation in Liaodong and suggested that Wei Zhongxian kill Xiong Tingbi, the general secretary of Liaodong. Zhu Youjian knew about this.
Later, with this extremely important letter of fame, with the help of Wei Zhongxian, Huang Liji became the chief minister of the cabinet.
Now, seeing the new emperor ascended the throne, he quickly abandoned his ally Wei Zhongxian and began to take the lead in persuading him, hoping to get the first share in Zhu Youjian's political circle.
To deal with such political speculators, Zhu Youjian only said "get out".
After arranging the throne tomorrow, Zhu Youjian, who had been crying for a day, was really tired and went back to his temporarily residence in Hongde Hall.
Zhu Youjian, who returned to Hongde Hall, drove all the eunuchs with him out and collapsed on the bed alone.
This job is too tiring, much more tiring than the work of the old fox in the office before.
After a while, I heard someone talking outside.
"Who is making noise outside?"
"Your Majesty, Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, asked for his visit."
Zhu Youjian got up and sat down.
"Prince."
Huang Liji went to the palace to salute. After the ceremony, he explained his purpose.
Huang Liji came to communicate with Zhu Youjian about the details of the throne ceremony tomorrow. He mainly reminded Zhu Youjian what he needed to do tomorrow. Don’t show it on the day of the throne, as it would be a celebrity’s history.
Of course Zhu Youjian understood this principle, it was just a rehearsal. He had done it before, and there would be rehearsals held in major events in the local area.
However, the leader will not attend the rehearsal. This is done by the secretary. On the day of the event, the secretary will give instructions in advance.
Of course, Zhu Youjian, the acting emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would not attend the rehearsal of the throne ceremony. He had eunuchs who did it on his behalf. On the day of the throne, there were eunuchs who also had eunuchs' guidance.
Zhu Youjian quickly remembered several details about the ascension of the throne tomorrow. Huang Liji originally wanted to communicate with Zhu Youjian again, but Zhu Youjian then yawned. Seeing this, Huang Liji retired with understanding.
No wonder the foolish monarchs like to use treacherous ministers, mainly because they are too understanding. The treacherous ministers will understand the treacherous ministers with one look and one action, and then they will make a good arrangement for you. Sometimes it is really difficult to overcome the bad nature of a person.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian began to understand the confessions of the heads who had entered the unit before.
"It's not that I'm not determined, but that the criminals are too cunning and there are bad people in the crowd."
In the evening, Zhu Youjian sent out all the eunuchs around him, then went to the boat to get some food, and went to bed.
In a daze, Zhu Youjian smelled a scent of smoke, and then woke him up.
The water is gone from Hongde Hall.
But Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry at all. Listening to the shouts of "Waste, water is gone" outside, no one came to put out the fire for a long time, and then he understood the whole story.
With a slight turn of the ring on his hand, Zhu Youjian disappeared into the Hongde Hall.
When I returned to the boat, it was still sunny and time seemed to have not changed.
I drank a bottle of cold beer and ate two pieces of bacon, and calculated the time.
Zhu Youjian felt that the fire should have been almost saved, and if he couldn't save it, he would probably have burned out, so he returned to the palace casually.
Sure enough, Hongde Hall is already in ruins.
In the darkness, eunuchs were crying and shouting, and their voices were shaking.
Under the moonlight, a woman in plain clothes looked particularly eye-catching.
"Look for it quickly, Your Highness King Xin must be still alive." His voice was hoarse and sad.
"Empress, please feel sorry for your grief. It is a blessing and good fortune every day. Your Highness, I am afraid that it will be unexpected."
A sharp voice sounded, who could it be if it weren't Wei Zhongxian's pickled goods?
"Wei Zhongxian, there are no thunderstorms and lightning today. There is a sudden fire in Hongde Palace. You must be the one who caused it."
Seeing that the situation in the North Korea and China took a sharp turn, Zhang Yan was a little angry at this time and was a little out of her sense of propriety in her words.
"Oh, my Thousand Years Eternal Queen, you can't say this randomly. It's common for you to walk in the palace to get water. What should I do with you?"
Zhu Youjian stood quietly in the shadow and watched Wei Zhongxian's performance, then touched the pistol equipped with a silencer on his waist, and was cruel and held back.
"It's a big night, everyone doesn't sleep. Why did they go to my Hongde Hall?"
Zhu Youjian came to everyone with a loud voice, and immediately scared Wei Zhongxian and staggered.
"Nine thousand years old, you have to hold on to your body." Zhu Youjian stepped forward to support Wei Zhongxian.
"Your, Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian was a little incoherent and quickly knelt on the ground.
When Zhang Yan saw Zhu Youjian standing here alive, she burst into tears of joy.
"When I went out for a walk, why did the Hongde Hall be burned like this? I need to be more cautious in the fire prevention in the palace in the future. In addition, this wooden-structured hall is really easy to carry. Let's see if it can be repaired in the future. Let's first draw a charter from the Ministry of Works."
Zhu Youjian circled around the ruins twice and said slowly.
The eunuchs and palace maids looked at Zhu Youjian who was like a god-assisted helper, and they all knelt on the ground, not daring to show off.
Seeing that no one agreed to him, Zhu Youjian was not angry, so he walked to Queen Zhang Yan and bowed and bowed.
"The emperor's sister-in-law doesn't have to worry. If the lonely life is helpless, the little one cannot harm the lonely."
When Zhang Yan heard this, she smiled with tears in her eyes, and then nodded vigorously.
