According to ancient rituals, the emperor was buried on the seventh day and buried in the seventh month; the princes were buried on the fifth day and buried in the fifth month.
Even if it is the funeral of the Emperor of Heaven, it will not be done now. Instead, the body will be kept in a palace and will be buried in a few months.
The succeeding emperor usually observes filial piety and takes the throne in front of the coffin at this time.
However, although Emperor Longde only served as emperor for a year, the longevity palace was almost completed and could be completed in another year and a half.
Without it, it's just the foresight of the Supreme Emperor and his elders.
It was because he saw that the prince was weak that he abdicated the throne in advance so that the grandson could inherit the throne reasonably and legally.
Zhu Yixi originally planned to stay on for a few more years until she could no longer do anything and then abdicate. After all, power is a stimulant for people and it is hard to leave it for a while.
However, the prince's situation made him change his mind.
Zhu Cunqu has been cultivated by him for decades. From the southwest to the northwest, the provinces where he took root and raised seedlings include Xikang, Xizang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Heilongjiang, etc.
If he is not allowed to taste the taste of an emperor, he will probably regret it until his death.
And as long as the prince succeeds to the throne, even if he is an emperor for a day, he can cut off the possibility of other princes competing for the throne, and let the grandson succeed to the throne reasonably and legally.
To ensure the orderly inheritance of the throne, Zhu Yixi forced herself to cut off her power.
The successor emperor was wearing sackcloth and mourning. Several cabinet ministers stood respectfully beside him. The emperor was half lying down with an incomprehensible expression:
"Let's change the temple name to Zhe Zong!"
In fact, the temple name suitable for Emperor Longde should be Mu Zong. After all, his reign was short, but it has already been occupied. Other good temple names are also rare, and Zhe Zong is considered good.
Such as Song Zhezong.
It means a monarch who is established and has done something good. It is a word of praise.
At the same time, it is extremely appropriate to refer to Song Zhezong's short life span.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone had no objections and could only nod.
"The emperor has succeeded to the throne. I wonder if the Ministry of Rites has drafted the year name?"
"The ministers and others have been discussing for a long time and have drafted three reign names——"
Immediately, the year number was presented.
Chengde, Jiachang, Xuanwu.
Zhu Yixi glanced at it, then looked at the piercing eyes of his grandson Zhu Fuyi, and couldn't help but smile:
"It's your choice!"
"Grandpa Huang?" Zhu Fuyi was a little surprised.
"This is your right!" Zhu Yixi chuckled.
Zhu Fuyi squinted his eyes and thought back and forth among the three reign names: "My grandson thinks Xuanwu is very good!"
"Then declare war!"
Seeing his grandson like this, Zhu Yixi thought to himself, this is another emperor who wants to make a difference.
But which emperor doesn’t have this idea?
This position is already charming, not to mention that he is only thirty years old, which is when he is very energetic.
Therefore, the imperial court designated the next year, which was 4698 in the Yanhuang calendar and 1698 in the Western calendar, as the first year of Xuanwu.
The Ming Dynasty entered the two-year and Three-Emperor era at such a rapid pace, it was so fast that people were frightened.
However, fortunately, the cabinet was stable and there were no mistakes in the bureaucracy.
Zhu Fuyi knelt in front of the coffin with a serious look on his face, but no matter how persevering he was, he could not extinguish the joy that came from deep in his heart.
The throne is so tempting.
"Master, please have a rest!" At this time, the young eunuch came in: "This is made by the Queen Mother herself!"
"I know!" Looking at the meat soup, Zhu Fuyi took a few bites, and his hungry stomach seemed to start moving immediately.
While eating the meat soup, his brain was spinning rapidly, constantly reviewing everything this year.
"Grandpa Huang asked me to personally choose the reign name. Does this mean that I am delegating power?"
"Is it possible? It's still somewhat possible."
"Even if I am let go, I still have to submit the report like my father did, so as not to offend the Supreme Emperor..."
I was thinking about it, and for some reason, a kind of unwillingness lingered in my chest for a long time.
He stood up and walked around before taking a breath.
Even the mighty Ming Emperor was not allowed to be free!
The city gate opened slightly, and a carriage left the Forbidden City.
After leaving Chongwen Gate and arriving at the station, a eunuch got off the carriage and looked around. The ticket office dismissed him and went directly to the side door.
"Our family has something to go to Yuquan Mountain!"
The eunuch raised the cards in his hand and chanted softly.
The station steward looked at the sign that read, "Young Supervisor and Young Supervisor," and immediately started to tremble: "Young father-in-law, I'm tired, I'll take you to the carriage right now!"
Immediately, the eunuch boarded the railway car with brisk steps and occupied a small box by himself.
You can lie down or sleep on it, it's very comfortable.
"My godfather is so powerful now!"
"That's not true. Who in the Forbidden City dares to offend us? Yesterday, when I met the elder, he had to bow to our godfather!"
The two young eunuchs were flattering each other, while Li Ping was enjoying the service leisurely, squinting his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.
As a close confidant of the grandson, he knew what it meant from the moment the emperor became seriously ill.
Although the atmosphere in the palace was quite tense, it was extremely relaxing for him.
The eunuchs who used to be so high above others all bowed their heads and fawned over them.
The ten eunuchs all came to give him money, and in a few days it exceeded 10,000 yuan, which he had never been able to earn in his entire life.
What will happen to the emperor when he officially succeeds to the throne?
Just like that, he arrived at Yuquan Villa.
"We have something to report to the Supreme Emperor on the orders of the Emperor—"
He raised his head proudly, like a peacock in full bloom.
"Please wait!"
The guard was stunned and immediately went to report.
After a while, an old eunuch came over:
"The emperor sent you here?"
"That's right!" Li Ping looked up and said:
"We have something to report to the Emperor!"
The eunuch curled his lips and led him to the palace, then pointed to the ground and said, "Just wait!"
"You——" Li Ping was angry.
"What are you doing? Kneel down!" the eunuch snorted coldly:
"The Emperor is resting and has no time to see you."
"The Emperor has time, but I'm afraid you don't have time?" Li Ping said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, you do know!" The eunuch chuckled: "Yes, I have to go to the toilet later, so please wait!"
Li Ping glared angrily: "I am the Young Superintendent of the Public Security Bureau!"
"Snapped--"
Unexpectedly, when the old eunuch saw that he was not convinced, he immediately slapped him in the face: "Whose identity dares to act so recklessly in Yuquan Villa?"
"Remember, this is not the Forbidden City."
Li Ping lowered his head, knelt down and waited.
The longer time passed, the more frightened he became, and then he became trembling with fear.
The Supreme Emperor has lived in Yuquan Mountain for a long time, and even the emperor does not dare to act arrogantly. What does he mean by being a young eunuch?
The majesty of the Forbidden City does not reach Yuquan Mountain even half.
Li Ping, who was much more well-behaved, met the emperor half an hour later and presented a letter from the successor emperor.
After that, Li Ping put a stack of banknotes into his hand: "What my father-in-law just taught me is that if the little one gets so carried away, he really deserves a beating!"
"It's good if you know!" the old eunuch whispered: "Let's eat based on our horizons. We don't have to think about which one is higher and which one is lower?"
Li Ping returned to the Forbidden City. The solemn palace symbolized imperial power, but was the imperial power really in the Forbidden City?
