"...Since the first day of September in the 14th year of Zhengtong, the conditions of the imperial edicts have been issued one after another. All must be obeyed. Anyone who dares to violate it will be punished by Xu Feng Xianguan for serious crimes. He will avenge shame and use virtue instead of power."
, I sincerely have the spirit of the clan, the remaining people are not tired of work but live in peace, and are determined to benefit the country and the family. I owe it to my uncles, uncles, ministers, and sages.
The cure is infinite and the effect is endless. It is announced both at home and abroad, and my heart is full of gratitude. I admire this!"
The lengthy edict of amnesty finally came to an end in Cheng Jing's loud voice.
Although this edict is not important at all to the elders in the palace, there is no doubt that it is a great good thing for the officials and the common people.
As for the carnivores who were high above the temple, all they cared about at this moment was the Emperor's edict that was about to be read out.
So Cheng Jing stepped down, rolled up the imperial edict, and placed it on the treasure case again.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Supreme Emperor.
Seeing this state, Zhu Qizhen's face, hidden behind Qizhu, couldn't help but have a complex meaning again.
He knew in his heart that this might be the last time he came to this imperial palace.
But, again, things have come to this, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Originally, he still had a lot to say in his heart, but at this moment, his interest suddenly waned.
So, he was silent for a moment and finally said.
"Issuing the edict."
Cheng Jing bowed slightly to the side, reached out again to take another edict from the treasure case, and slowly unfolded it.
In fact, this edict was originally supposed to be read by Zhu Qizhen's confidant eunuch.
However, he had just returned to Beijing, and where was his confidant eunuch?
Although Yuan Bin and Ha Ming are close ministers, they are outside the palace after all. Once inside the palace, the rules are strict.
They are not allowed to climb above the imperial level.
Zhu Qizhen originally planned to borrow Wang Jin's help, but when he entered the palace, he was stopped. It was said that Wang Jin was going to the Xuan Mansion to convey the Queen Mother's decree. Now that the Supreme Emperor had returned to the palace, he would go back to resume his duties.
.
Therefore, this edict can naturally only be read by Cheng Jing.
However, this is the apparent reason. As for the real reason, it is naturally that he is afraid that His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, will cause trouble again.
This edict was also finalized by the Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites.
However, unlike the previous edict, the content was strictly confidential, so the ministers did not know what was written in it.
Zhu Qizhen just watched Cheng Jing hold up the edict, and then browsed it once to make sure it was correct before starting to read the small details. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
The so-called brotherhood is nothing more than this...
In front of the great throne, all the tenderness and tenderness are gone.
However, no one cared about his expression at this moment. Everyone was staring closely at the edict in Cheng Jing's hand.
"The Supreme Emperor decreed."
"I am bowing my head. I was sent by the late emperor in the past, and the great deeds of my ancestors were given to me. I am deeply grateful for the kindness, and I am afraid day and night in order to govern."
"Last autumn, the ugly prisoners were arrogant and ungrateful. They detained my messenger and led a group of people to invade the border area with the intention of stealing the sacred weapon. I had no choice but to personally lead the six armies to question him."
"Unexpectedly, God punished her, and she was kept in captivity. She was repeatedly blessed by the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother. The emperor's wise brother deeply remembered the kindness of his relatives and sent people to welcome her. Thanks to the great kindness of heaven and earth, and the great blessing of his ancestors, he was fortunate enough to return to the capital. "
"While hunting in the north, I have written to my younger brother, the throne of the Zen Emperor, the sacred artifacts, and worshiped by Qin Zong. I am the Supreme Emperor and live in the South Palace to rest in peace. This is the best way to manage things in ancient and modern times, and it is also the way for emperors to hold the center. .”
"Now that I have returned to the capital, the rites of the ancestral temple in the suburbs have been performed, and the status has been decided. Major events are unpredictable, and it is my brother who is responsible for the affairs of the country. The civil and military ministers are attentive to rectifying his mistakes, so as to benefit the people forever."
"Now I am ordering all the ministers to announce the appointment, and I will cherish it."
Compared with the previous edict, this one is much shorter.
But for the officials in the palace, the significance of this edict is extremely important.
The ambiguous power relations in the Tian family have been finally clarified in this edict, which is a good thing for the court and the courtiers.
The saying that each person has his own destiny is not an empty talk.
The court meeting is now coming to an end. The ministers have been worried about whether the Supreme Emperor will cause any trouble, but it has not happened.
So, under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the ministers kowtowed three times and bowed again, saying:
"Respectfully send the Emperor back to Nangong."
On the throne, Zhu Qiyu stood up first, then bowed slightly and stood sideways.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, raised his head and looked back at the magnificent Fengtian Palace again, then stood up and stepped out of the palace door step by step.
At this point, the court meeting finally came to an end.
However, the resulting political whirlpool has only just begun at this time.
Although it was said that he was going back to Nangong, Zhu Qizhen did not go to Nangong after leaving Fengtian Hall. Today's ritual process has the last step. It is also the only ritual process in the whole set that Zhu Qizhen is not dissatisfied with. .
Meet the Queen Mother of Shangsheng!
Seeing the Supreme Emperor coming out of the door from a distance, Wang Jin immediately greeted him.
He is not that person who waits for nothing, repeating orders but not repeating them. It is not important at all. The most important thing now is to bring the Supreme Emperor to Cining Palace.
Although Empress Dowager Sun did not rush out to greet her like Empress Qian, she was also very concerned about her only son.
So Wang Jin helped Zhu Qi get into the car and went straight to Cining Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, at the entrance of Cining Palace, two groups of palace maids and eunuchs were already standing neatly. When they saw Luan Jia coming from a distance, they immediately shouted.
Not long after, Queen Mother Sun hurriedly walked out amid the crowds of palace people.
"See Your Majesty."
As Luan Jia stopped in front of the Cining Palace, a group of maids and eunuchs bowed down in obeisance.
Among the crowd, Queen Mother Sun was the only one who stood alone, staring blankly at the long-lost face sitting among the carriages.
At the same time, Zhu Qizhen's expression also fluctuated violently.
Facing his biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him, his originally calm mind suddenly surged up again, and scenes from the past all came to his mind.
At one time, it was the doting of the Empress Dowager Sun when I was young, and at the other time, it was the worried advice before I went on an expedition.
At one time, he was shocked when he learned that her old man had established a new emperor when he was in Oala. At the other time, he was angry and desolate when he learned from Zhang Fu and Ren Li about her difficult situation in the palace.
Just this glance made Zhu Qizhen's eyes turn red.
As soon as Luan Jia landed, he almost took a few steps and came to stand in front of Empress Dowager Sun.
The queen mother in front of him had the same voice and appearance as he remembered, but she was obviously older.
He still remembered that before he left the capital, he told his mother with great ambition that when he went there he would definitely wipe out the wars and restore the achievements of his father and ancestors.
At that time, the Empress Dowager Sun was radiant, smiling, and graceful.
But now, he actually saw a trace of silver light on his mother's temples, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were much more numerous.
Thinking of what Ren Li told him about the many major events that happened in the capital, and of the efforts his mother put in to bring him back, Zhu Qizhen's nose felt sour and he tried hard to suppress his tears.
Then, he took two steps back, lifted up his robe and bowed down, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed deeply, touched his crown to the ground, and said with a trembling voice.
"Unfilial son Qi Zhen, please pay your respects to your mother!"
