The rain outside the window was pattering, and there was silence in Wuying Palace for a moment. Everyone was caught off guard by the emperor's words.
For a moment, all the ministers looked at the gray-haired Master Hu, but they saw that his expression was also very strange.
When everyone was confused, Hu Hui cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, although the return of the Supreme Emperor is welcomed by both the government and the public, and by all the people, and His Majesty's kindness and respect are admired by the ministers, but in the civil war, the officers and soldiers were killed and injured insignificantly, and the welcome ceremony was so solemn, I am afraid that the Emperor
I feel uneasy."
"Furthermore, the ceremony just described by Your Majesty is complicated and complicated, and it is close to the enthronement ceremony. Just because the Emperor returns to the capital, such a complicated ceremony may be too wasteful, and the Ministry of Rites may not have time to prepare it. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to think again."
Although the old minister is old and usually looks lazy in court, in fact, all government affairs that pass through his hands are handled vigorously and resolutely, without any sloppiness.
But this time, Hu Hui also seemed very cautious. He kept saying these words, and seemed to be thinking about his words all the time.
After saying this, everyone present came to their senses.
You have to be a professional to see the key at a glance.
Offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, go to the ancestral temple, receive congratulations from hundreds of officials in the Imperial Fengtian Hall, issue edicts to inform the world, and then worship the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother...
This set of etiquette is not just the process of the enthronement ceremony.
Compared with this meaning, the Supreme Emperor returned from defeat, but was greeted with such a grand ceremony, which caused a little embarrassment and had to sit in the back row.
However, the emperor's enthronement ceremony had already been held.
Now, why bother doing this again?
Although the ministers present were not very familiar with the etiquette system, after Hu Hui reminded him, the answer was almost ready to come out.
Zen ceremony!
As ceremonies that also involve the inheritance of the imperial throne, the processes of the Enthronement Ceremony and the Zen Ceremony are very similar.
However, the number of people presiding over the ceremony was changed from one to two, and the enthronement edict was changed to the Zen throne edict.
Think back again to what the emperor just said.
"...I and the Emperor are in the Fengtian Palace together and issue an edict of amnesty to the world..."
There is no doubt that the edict granting amnesty to the world must have been issued by the emperor. It is not the turn of an abdicated emperor to do such a thing.
So, why do you have to drag the Supreme Emperor to Fengtian Palace?
When it comes to the worship of the ministers, the outskirts of the capital to welcome him, and the offering of sacrifices to heaven and earth, during this process, he worshiped countless times.
It is not to accept worship, nor to issue an edict of amnesty to the world, so what should I do?
Do you want to make clay sculptures and wood carvings? Don’t be kidding!
When you go, you have to have a purpose.
Think about the scene at that time, the emperor and the emperor, the two brothers were sitting on the throne together, with the civil and military ministers below.
The emperor issued an edict of amnesty to the whole world, but the emperor just watched and didn't say anything? Of course not.
When you reach that situation, you have to have the awareness you deserve.
Fengtian Temple is not something you can go to casually.
That is the main palace of the Emperor!
The Supreme Emperor was superior to the Emperor in terms of ritual status, but one thing was the Emperor's unique power.
That is the power to govern and govern the country. Once you abdicate, it is equivalent to giving up this power.
Although in theory, the Supreme Emperor can still participate in political affairs, he has lost the effect of following his words.
Fengtian Temple symbolizes this power. Except for the emperor, no one has the power to activate Fengtian Temple.
Nowadays, if the emperor wants to share the Fengtian Palace with the Supreme Emperor, it is no longer as simple as courtesy.
This is testing, or in other words, forcing the Supreme Emperor to express his stance.
If the Supreme Emperor sat back on the throne of Fengtian Palace in such a grand manner, even if he didn't say a word from beginning to end, what would follow would definitely be an impeachment memorial from the Censor of Ke Dao.
This is transgression!
In terms of etiquette, the full title of the Supreme Emperor is Taishang Emperor, so it is not appropriate to say that he abdicated the throne. A more appropriate term would be to accept the title of Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, if the emperor can use the corresponding royal objects, the emperor can also use them.
But only the Fengtian Palace belongs exclusively to the emperor.
Even if the Supreme Emperor wants to participate in political affairs, he will never use the Fengtian Palace. This is also a ritual.
Therefore, either the Supreme Emperor will not enter the Fengtian Palace, but if he does, he will have to explain the issue of his status thoroughly in front of the ministers.
After thinking about this, and looking at the emperor's gentle smile, several elders invariably became a little more cautious.
At the same time, the idea that the emperor was joking disappeared.
As for Hu Hui's tactful objection, the emperor's attitude was...
"Expenses are a matter for the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites does not need to worry about it. The mission has just left the capital, arrived at Wala, negotiated the details, and then made all the preparations to welcome the emperor back, it will take at least two or three months.
"
"For my enthronement ceremony, the Ministry of Ceremonies prepared everything in less than a month. Now that the Emperor's return is still so long away, why can't we prepare it well?"
Seeing the Emperor's displeased expression, Hu Hui was in a daze.
Why does this scene seem so familiar?
But as I get older, I feel like I can’t remember it for a while.
At this time, Duke Feng Li Xian also spoke and said.
"Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor have a deep friendship. The Supreme Emperor has stayed in the imperial court for a year. If the greeting ceremony is too thin, the people in the world will be afraid that your Majesty will be criticized. The etiquette system is complicated, but the eldest uncle also needs to understand your Majesty's difficulties.
.”
Hu Xi glanced at him and secretly cursed in her heart. This unprincipled old guy just knew how to follow the emperor and blindly agree.
At the same time, the emperor also said.
"Hu Shangshu, it is the invitation of the ministers to welcome the Emperor back. Since the construction work last year, I have been in office and have worked hard and worked hard at night. However, many courtiers in the capital have questioned my intentions. Now the Emperor's return date is expected. The Ministry of Etiquette notes
It's so simple, where do you want to put me?"
His tone was still calm, but Hu Hui keenly sensed a hint of danger.
For just a moment, he remembered where this familiar feeling came from.
At the beginning, before His Majesty ascended the throne, he had this resolute attitude on the issue of legal system.
Suddenly, Hu Hui broke out in cold sweat.
He was careless and thought that now that his throne was clear and his status was determined, there was no need to overly force the Supreme Emperor to express his position in public.
But he forgot that on this issue, the emperor, who had always been open-minded, did not hesitate to put aside all government affairs and adopt a messy attitude, but also refused to give in at all.
At that moment, Hu Hui made a judgment without hesitation.
"Your Majesty forgives me for not thinking carefully. I will take care of this matter immediately after I return to the Ministry of Rites."
So, the emperor showed a smile, nodded and said: "That's good."
The atmosphere in the palace relaxed, and all the officials present breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
The emperor's expression changed just now, so much so that they subconsciously did not even dare to express their anger.
It turned out that without realizing it, the young emperor already had the imperial aura of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
At the same time, although he achieved his goal, a trace of disappointment flashed across Zhu Qiyu's face.
Although he had already expected Hu Hui's attitude, disappointment was inevitable.
This old guy knows the current situation and understands the situation, but in the end, his heart is still towards Zhu Qizhen, the legitimate son of the late emperor.
Putting all this aside for the time being, Zhu Qiyu turned to Yang Hong and Fan Guang and said in the same commanding tone.
"In addition to these, after the Supreme Emperor returns, the Emperor's sister-in-law and the Supreme Emperor's other concubines should also move to Nangong. Therefore, the defense of Nangong needs to be strengthened."
"However, each of the twenty-six guards and gates in the palace city is in charge and cannot be transferred. Therefore, I plan to draw elites from the four guards of Jingying, Jinyiwei, and Tengxiang to form three separate Jingwei organizations to be responsible for them.
Nangong’s guard.”
"Marquis Yang will be in charge of the elites recruited from the Beijing camp. As for the three officers of the Beijing guards starting from the commanding officer and below, Governor Fan and Minister Yu from the Ministry of War will jointly draw up a list and pass it to me."
Again, when it comes to military affairs, especially matters related to Beijing and Wei, the emperor basically makes decisions with one word.
Therefore, Yang Hong and others had no room to say more and accepted their orders...
