After dealing with the handling of King Xin and the important civil and military officials, the time had passed.

The next day, Wei Zhongxian had just returned to his residence. The Minister of War and the Left Censor Cui Chengxiu, who had disappeared all day yesterday, and the Minister of War Tian Ji, who had disappeared all day long, arrived together.

During the reign of Tianqi, Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, the Minister of Works, Wu Chunfu, Taichangqing Ni Wenhuan, and Li Kuilong, the left deputy censor, were named Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Ministers, and were all Wei Zhongxian's hard-core friends.

The host and guest entered the secret room, and Wei Zhongxian cursed: "What's the point of your arrival now? Now that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, if the Donglin Party knows, how can they not give us another crime of conspiracy!"

Cui Chengxiu quickly decided, "Dadlock, you don't know anything. Last night, someone pretended to pass on my father-in-law's order and led me to the side hall, but there was no one in the side hall.

After I realized it, I immediately went to the Ganqing Palace to look for my father-in-law, but was blocked by a group of strange warriors, saying that during His Majesty's grand trip, the palace was closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit."

Tian Ji also said: "What Cuibutang said is right. We were indeed deceived last night and were deceived. We also asked our father-in-law to immediately dispatch the Jinyiwei to the palace, clean up the palace ban, and capture the gang of traitors."

Wei Zhongxian looked at Tian Ji with a strange look when he heard this, which made Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ji confused and unconscious.

But if Zhu Youjian was present, he would definitely recognize Wei Zhongxian's eyes. That look was very common in later generations and was made into emoticons by netizens, which meant: caring for mentally retarded.

Wei Zhongxian sighed helplessly: "You claim to be extremely intelligent. Didn't you realize that those martial artists were sent to the palace by the British Duke under the imperial edict of the Queen?

The Duke of England has always been the leader of military officials. The Beijing camp and the Governor's Office of the Five Army are almost all trusted by the Duke of England. If we act rashly, we will be just an excuse to take action. Then we will be beaten up by them and fall into a state of doom."

Choi Chengxiu, who was originally lucky, immediately changed his face when Tian Ji heard this. Choi Chengxiu said anxiously: "Do we just do nothing and let them hold the knife on our necks?"

Wei Zhongxian had completely recovered his calmness at this time. After thinking for a while, he said: "A few years ago, we eliminated the thieves for Emperor Daxing and purged the Donglin Party. Now that Emperor Daxing has passed away unexpectedly, the Donglin Party must be determined to deal with us so as to counterattack and make up for it.

But you don’t need to worry too much. The Donglin Party has always been invincible, but its ability to do things is extremely poor. I predict that those who will not deal with us personally, but will use the sword of the new emperor to kill people."

Cui Chengxiu was so agile that he smelled it immediately. As the number one thug and dog-headed military advisor of the eunuch party, he suggested: "The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, but he is not familiar with the new emperor, the Donglin Party and us, and it is difficult to determine his likes and dislikes to us. It seems that our top priority is to first understand the attitude of the new emperor towards us.

But we can't wait to wait for death. My father-in-law Huanqing immediately sent someone to contact Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and others. As long as we firmly grasp the Jinyiwei, even if we are hated by the new emperor, we will have a try."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "I understand. There are my people in the eunuchs in the secret residence of the King of Xin's palace. I will definitely test the New Emperor's thoughts."

"That's good." Cui Chengxiu then reminded: "But my father-in-law still remembers that mastering the Jinyiwei can only operate secretly. Once the new emperor knows, even if we have Jinyiwei in our hands, it will be difficult for us to resist the soldiers of the Beijing camp."

Wei Zhongxian said impatiently: "I eat more salt than you eat, so why do you want to remind me? Okay, now you can leave here quickly. I am standing at the forefront of the storm now, so don't contact me directly in the future. If you have any news, send me a confidant to death."

Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ji bowed and bowed to Wei Zhongxian when he heard this, and sneaked away.

Looking at Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ji's back as he left, Wei Zhongxian immediately attracted a trusted eunuch and whispered a few words in his ear. After repeating the words, the trusted eunuch quickly left the palace gate.

However, Wei Zhongxian never expected that not long after his confidant eunuch left the palace gate, he was beaten and slapped in a remote alley passing by, and was then trapped in a sack. It was not until a few days later that his body was fished out from the moat by a river cleaner.

...

At noon on August 22, Tian Ergeng, commander of the Jinyiwei, wanted to enter the palace to pay homage to Wei Zhongxian, but was blocked by the Beijing soldiers who were blocked from the palace.

Tian Ergeng immediately felt that something was wrong. After returning to the Beizhen Fushi Office, he immediately sent someone to convene the Dongchang, and the five ten children and forty grandchildren of the Jinyiwei, and other core eunuchs of the eunuch party discussed the major events.

However, what he unexpectedly expected was that the only party members who came to call were big cats and kittens, and when they saw that most of them did not come, they found a reason to say goodbye and leave.

For a moment, Tian Ergeng was completely lost, but the sense of crisis that the building was about to fall was taking root and sprouting, making him panic all day long.

...

Two more days passed without a turbulent time. On August 24, Zhu Youjian finally ended the three days of torture-like mourning clothes and appeared in Chengtianmen Square, preparing to accept the bowing of all civil and military officials, and ascend the throne.

On that day, before dawn, the chief officer Chen Yu's throne was set up at Fengtianmen, the imperial guard set up the drum, the Shangbao guard set up the treasure case, and the Jiaofang guard set up the Zhonghe Shao music...

This is the preparation work for the preliminaries of the throne ceremony. The so-called chief supervisor was one of the twelve supervisors in charge of palace affairs in the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to today's logistics department;

The Imperial Heaven Supervision naturally observes the celestial phenomena and reports the so-called will of heaven to the emperor.

Shangbao and Jiaofang two departments are responsible for the placement of equipment and the other is responsible for the art performances in the ceremony. These departments are the main institutions preparing for the ceremony of the ascension ceremony.

At the time of Chen, officials were sent to report to the Tiandi Sect Society, and the emperor put on filial piety clothes and told a banquet.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the Temple of Heaven, Xiannong Temple, and Taimiao informed their ancestors. Zhu Youjian wore a robe and a robe and completed the ceremony of telling the heaven and earth. Then he went to Fengxian Hall in turn. After paying homage to Fengci Hall, he returned to the emperor's banquet to pay tribute to the banquet, and then came to an end.

At noon, after Zhu Youjian, wearing a yellow robe, climbed to the Chengtian Gate Tower, the throne ceremony officially began.

All the officials who had been waiting in front of Chengtian Gate were dressed in court robes. Under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, they passed the Jinshui Bridge and entered the Forbidden City. There were a large number of officials, and almost all the officials in Beijing came, stretching thousands of meters, and they could not see at a glance.

But at this time they could not enter the Fengtian Hall, because Zhu Youjian was still praying at Fengtian Gate, so the ministers could only stay in the square outside the Meridian Gate.

They knelt on both sides of the imperial road in the form of literary, military and western style, and then came down from Fengtian Gate after Zhu Youjian had finished communicating with the gods and immortals in the sky.

After Zhu Youjian got off the Chengtian Gate Tower, he entered Fengtian Hall and walked step by step towards his first goal after traveling through time - the Dragon Chair.

Looking at the dragon chaise made of gold, Zhu Youjian burst into light in his eyes, speeding up his pace, and sitting down.

At this time, the civil and military ministers entered Fengtian Hall according to their official ranks and congratulated Zhu Youjian.

Finally, the eunuch of the Sili Dynasty, Wang Tigan, officially read out the edict, confirmed Zhu Youjian's new identity, and announced to the world that the new emperor had ascended the throne.

"Long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian sat on the dragon throne like a god above. In the hymns of the officials of the Honglu Temple, the civil and military officials below were hustling together, and their movements were in the same way, and they bowed to themselves.

In the floating celestial sense, a cool breeze blew by, and Zhu Youjian finally woke up from his great sense of accomplishment.

"From now on, I will be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is glory and responsibility. I stand at the forefront of the storm, holding the sun and the moon in my hand, and I wish the world peace and happiness."
