Chapter 176: Enthroned
Gu Dexi wiped his tears and said to Zhu Yunwen who was kneeling on the ground: "Your Highness, the old lady can understand your grief, but I also asked Your Highness to ascend the throne quickly and stabilize the court, and then perform funerals and throne ceremonies."
Gu Dexi took out an edict from his body, and he walked up and handed it to Zhu Yunwen and said, "Your Highness, the emperor's will was already issued when you came back."
Zhu Yunwen slowly stood up and handed the will to Gu Dexi again. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang who had passed away peacefully and said seriously: "Eunuch Gu, please go to Dong'anmen to announce the death of the emperor, and then arrange someone to help me ascend the throne immediately."
"The old slave understands."
Gu Dexi took two eunuchs to run from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Huagai Hall. He sent people to inform all the leaders of the twelve guards to let them sever the imperial city. Zhu Yunwen would, led by the eunuch arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, wear a dragon robe and nine lilac crowns to take over the government.
All the officials followed the princess Fengluan to Dong'anmen and were about to enter the imperial city. Gu Dexi hurriedly ran to the front of the red gate, took out the will and shouted: "The emperor's edict, kneel down and obey the order!"
Gu Dexi said it was not polite, and Zhu Xiuer and others and all the officials were shocked. They seemed to have had a premonition.
Princess Anqing and Princess Jiangdu came down from Fengluan and knelt on the ground. Gu Dexi opened the edict and said, "I have risen from the grassroots to fight against the Yuan Yuan and ascended the throne for thirty years..."
The thought in her heart was confirmed. This was the will of the late emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang had already passed away. Zhu Xiu'er wiped her tears with her hands, but she could not stop it. She looked at Gu Dexi, who was reciting the edict with tears in her eyes. Her father went there like this.
"The crown prince Zhu Yunwen is talented, filial and compassionate, and is loved by all people. He specially passed the throne of the country to the crown prince Zhu Yunwen, and I admire this." Gu Dexi finished reading it and said with a sob: "The death of the late emperor, the funeral will be held on a date. The new emperor ascended the throne, all officials will enter the Huagai Hall to congratulate him, and the ascension ceremony will be held on a date. Let's get up."
Zhu Xiuer and others stood up, and she entered Fengluan silently. She felt so emotional that she was so sad that she could not accept such changes.
All the officials entered Dong'anmen in silence and walked towards Huagai Hall to show their respect for the ancestors.
Zhu Yunwen had already put on a dragon robe and crown in the inner hall. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror. The day finally came.
He still had a long way to go. The eunuch knelt on the ground, lowered his head and dared not look at Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen walked out of the inner hall, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison followed Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen walked past the curtain and came to the front desk of Huagai Hall. In front of him was the dragon throne. If he sat on it, he was the supreme power.
All the officials were in their positions, and they were all kneeling on the ground, looking up at Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen did not hesitate and slowly sat on the dragon throne.
"Long live my emperor."
"Long live my emperor."
The voices of the officials resounded throughout the Huagai Palace. When everyone calmed down, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "All the ministers are calm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing all the officials standing, Zhu Yunwen shouted: "The First Emperor ascended the throne for thirty-one years, defeated the Yuan Dynasty, created our Ming Dynasty, and appeased the people. Now, the First Emperor has passed away. I am ordered by the First Emperor to inherit the Grand Principal, command the government, and defend our Ming Dynasty!"
"Dongdongdongdong-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bell rang, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Priest rang the bell. The ascension of the throne had been completed, and only the ceremony of the throne was not underway.
Zhu Yunwen said: "The throne ceremony will be held for the auspicious day. I will personally draft an edict and announce it to the general amnesty of the world!"
"My emperor is wise!"
Zhu Yunwen continued, "Stop the court for one day, and have a routine morning court tomorrow." After that, Zhu Yunwen stood up, waved his sleeves, and turned around and left Huagai Hall.
"Long live my emperor."
Huh, Zhu Yunwen let out a light breath. This feeling of dominating the world is so good.
Gu Dexi has returned to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen said: "Eunuch Gu, please check the concubines and palace maids and eunuchs in the harem, and then give me the list, and let the people from the clan mansion record my concubines and enthrone them in the harem at a date."
"Yes." Gu Dexi said respectfully: "Emperor, the new palace maid, eunuch, and beautiful girl, when will he be selected to enter the palace?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "In a few days, I still have a lot to deal with now."
"The old slave was ordered."
Zhu Yunwen paused and said, "Eunuch Gu, you follow Emperor Taizu loyally. Emperor Taizu told me specifically that you will return to your hometown in glory."
Gu Dexi was stunned and then burst into tears. Zhu Yuanzhang was still very kind to him.
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment and said, "When the matter is over, I will reward you, which can be regarded as a little reward for your efforts over the past few decades."
Gu Dexi knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I'm old and want to go back."
"Yeah." Zhu Yunwen nodded and led by his follower eunuch to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Xiu'er returned to the East Palace. At this time, the eunuch of the Silijian had already arrived at the East Palace and signaled that everyone needed to move to the harem now.
Zhu Yunwen's instructions were to let Zhu Xiuer enter the harem too, and the eunuchs certainly had no objection.
So many women are the concubines of the future. The eunuchs are trying to please them. After all, if they please them, they will only have wealth and glory in the future.
Hua Xirui grabbed Xu Miaojin's hand and said, "I'm going to go to the harem to live. Are Miaojin nervous?"
Xu Miaojin was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay, but the place where he lives has changed."
Li Shanshan came over. She was the chief princess and the future queen. She smiled and said, "It's true that the place where she lives has changed, but Yunwen has ambitions. He will definitely become very busy in the future. It is impossible to return to his previous life."
Zhuge Xue smiled and said, "We were bored, so we snatched out to travel around and waited for him to come to find us. Isn't it great?"
Yao Yanxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Good idea."
At this time, Lan Bing pulled Qin Jing out and said, "Sisters, I will take Miss Qin back to Lan Mansion first."
Chen Yingying blinked and said, "Let's go, I'll be back sooner or later."
Lan Bing was stunned, smiled and shook his head and said, "My father is so close to the emperor, I think I will come back sooner or later."
“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
