Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the afternoon of the fifth day of September, Li Xuanshi moved out of the Qianqing Palace, and Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao officially entered the Qianqing Palace. At this time, no one knew what this really meant.  The Donglin Party members were celebrating, the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party members were worried, and the palace was eerily quiet.  On the morning of the sixth day of September, Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne as Emperor Tianqi, consecrated the emperor¡¯s concubine Zhao Fei as the empress dowager, and entered Cining Palace. A new era in the history of the Ming Dynasty began.  In the Huangji Hall of Qianqing Palace, all the civil and military ministers stood outside the gate, waiting quietly. No one made any noise or made any other movements. They all stood motionless.  The sun rose slowly, the bells and drums rang, and a eunuch slowly walked to the door of the hall and shouted to the ministers outside: "Xuan".  After saying that, he turned around and walked back.  The ministers of civil and military affairs were slowly walking towards the Huangji Palace. At the front of the civil officials was Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet, and at the front of the military attach¨¦s was Xu Hongji, the first-ranked Duke of Wei.  Everyone came to the main hall and stood still. Eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was standing in the main hall, said loudly: "The emperor has arrived." Emperor Tianqi walked out slowly. At this time, he was wearing very suitable emperor clothes.  , which is the famous Pingtian crown and mianfu in history.  Although he wanted to remove the bead curtain in front of him, Emperor Tianqi also knew that this was not possible and could only endure the bead curtain shaking back and forth.  "Long live my emperor." Seeing the emperor coming, these ministers naturally did not dare to neglect and quickly knelt down to salute.  These people are very accustomed to this set of etiquette, so they do it very neatly and shout in the same tone.  Ignoring the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi sat on the huge dragon chair and gently stroked the huge golden dragon head. His heart felt more stable than ever before.  I finally waited for today. Although it was only a month, it was still too long.  Emperor Tianqi was satisfied with himself there, and no one spoke in the entire hall. After a long time, the new emperor realized that now was not the time to do this, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "My dear friends, stay safe.  "When everyone stood up, Emperor Tianqi winked at Wang An beside him and said in a deep voice: "Let's get started!" At this time, Wang An held up a yellow imperial edict in both hands and walked slowly over.  The lower part of the main hall was gently unfolded, and he read loudly: "By the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Today, at the age of weak crown, I inherit the destiny of heaven and practice the country for the first time. I am sincere and frightened, only fearing that my thoughts are not secret, and my words are not secret.  If I act carelessly and harm the country and my subjects, how can I feel at ease? Why should I comfort my ancestors? Therefore, from today onwards, I should bow to myself, be diligent and self-disciplined, and respect heaven and earth.  Feed the ghosts and gods, worry about the country and protect the people, and pray for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty forever." Waiting for Wang An to come back slowly, Emperor Tianqi slowly said: "I am the first to ascend the throne, and I will rely on you more in the future.  As ministers, all the dear ministers are the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely serve them well.¡± ¡°My emperor is a wise man.¡± Today¡¯s court meeting is very simple, and the time is also very short, there is no time at all.  Discuss something.  No one would come up with something on the first day that the new emperor ascends the throne, unless his officials don't want to do it.  When everything was over, Emperor Tianqi dismissed all the ministers and took two people to Nuange.  Both of these people were eunuchs, because Tianqi knew that although things outside had come to an end for the time being, things inside had not been resolved.  At this time, the two eunuchs kneeling in front of Emperor Tianqi were Wang An, the eunuch who was in charge of rituals, and eunuch Bingbi, who was in charge of the Wei Dynasty in Dongchang.  Emperor Tianqi walked back and forth slowly in the hall, thinking about what to do!  After pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianqi slowly said: "Wei Dynasty, I give you a task. You lead people to clean up the palace. I give you three days. During these three days, I will really accompany you in Cining Palace.  The Queen Mother. I hope to get news from you after the morning court in three days. "The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were relatively lazy. In the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng reformed the morning court system and went to court on the third, sixth and ninth day of every month.  After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi continued: "I think you should know what should be kept in the palace and what should not be kept. You go and do it!" "This slave accepts the order." Wei Chao was extremely excited at this time. If  If things can be done well this time, then I will definitely be reused.  Dongchang is the emperor's domestic slave, and only the emperor's trust is the source of their power.  Seeing that the Wei Dynasty had left, Emperor Tianqi said to Wang An: "Eunuch Wang, you are a person close to my father. I care about the old man very much. From today on, you will not be a eunuch with a pen. The palm print of the eunuch of the ceremony."  I'll leave it to you to be the eunuch!" For the most powerful position in the palace, only this old man can reassure me.  "Old slave, thank you Your Majesty." Wang An felt very happy. As a eunuch, his life was considered?To the top.  I did not misjudge His Majesty, nor did I live up to the late Emperor's respect.  "One more thing, you are the eunuch closest to me. I don't believe in that Wei Dynasty. If he wins over the eunuchs and maids in the palace and cultivates his cronies during the purge here, I will be very passive. So I will be very passive. So.  I hope you will keep an eye on him secretly, and remember to tell me if there is any trouble." Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang An with trust in his face, and his eyes were full of expectation.  "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do." Wang An naturally understood what Emperor Tianqi meant, and replied respectfully after giving a salute.  "My lord, I know that you are a very talented person. If you don't enter the palace, you may be able to become a cabinet bachelor. I ask you, how is the world today?" Emperor Tianqi seemed to think that nothing happened.  He looked at Wan Wang An with a smile and said in a gentle tone.  "I don't dare to take the emperor's compliments seriously. As for the emperor's questions, I can't answer them. I'm just a eunuch. How can I have any thoughts about such a major military matter?" Wang An couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.  He found that the person in front of him was very strange, and he was no longer the cowardly crown prince.  This person reminded him of another emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the former King of Yan and later Emperor Yongle Zhu Di.  "Old Slippery, if you don't tell me, let me tell you. At this time, on the border of the Ming Dynasty, there are Waci and Tatars in the north, and the newly rising Jurchens in the northeast. These forces have tens of thousands of armored soldiers.  What about our Ming Dynasty? The military is weak, the military is illegal, and it is cowardly and afraid of war. Looking at the interior, the national treasury is empty, the civil servants are against each other, and the security of the country is no longer in the eyes of these adults.  Have you ever cared about the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshang? Corrupt officials are rampant in the local area, there are countless excessive taxes, local tyrants are rampant in the countryside, and the people are suffering from natural disasters from time to time. Do you know what these mean?  He was very excited and stared at Wang An unblinkingly.  Thank you Scandinavian Wolverine for the tip, this is the third update today.
