Chapter 1144 The strongest enthronement edict in history

After returning to the capital, the prince not only met Wang Xian and released the old people in the Eastern Palace, but also focused on the funeral of Emperor Daxing. Although Emperor Daxing had passed away for more than a month, the prince did not come back and many things could not be carried out, so he could only put them there temporarily.

First, he gave the title of Emperor Daxing and Empress Xianrenxiao. The Empress Xianrenxiao was the daughter of King Xu Da of Zhongshan and the biological mother of Zhu Gaoxu's brothers. He has always treated his three sons equally and is not as biased as Zhu Di. Zhu Gaoxu also remembered this mother who had died for more than ten years early. He worked with officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Grand Secretary for discussion for several days. Every word must be investigated, and he was determined to be perfect. He then decided to be the posthumous posthumous title of "Ren, filial, filial, ciyi, and sincere, and Mingzhuang to offer the title of "Empress Tianqi Shengwen".

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Rites were under great pressure for the posthumous title and temple name of the Emperor Daxing. They naturally knew that the father and son had no affection for twenty years, and they did not seem to have the intention to let go of grudges after the prince returned to the capital. No one could be sure whether the posthumous title, temple name, would become the target of the prince's venting.

After some private confusion, the Ministry of Rites submitted a memorial to Emperor Daxing, and the posthumously named "Ti Tian Hong Dao Gao Ming Guangyuan Shengwu Divine Arts Pure Ren Zhi Xiaowen". The temple name is "Taizong", which is Emperor Taizong Wen!

"Taizong" is the second emperor of the dynasty; "Wen" is the world, kindness, kindness, kindness, kindness, love and love the people, cultivate virtue, and come far away. All nations are constitutional, strong and not violent, and they are the four ends of voice and teaching. This is a first-class posthumous posthumous posthumous.

Originally, the ministers secretly thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would reject this beautiful posthumous title. If another "wu" was reported, the crown prince would be embarrassed to reject it. The word "wu" was naturally far inferior to "wen", but it was also appropriate for the life of Emperor Daxing and could not be considered a bad posthumous title. This is just a small way to deal with his superiors in the officialdom.

However, unexpectedly, the prince did not entangle on this. The officials of the Ministry of Rites submitted it and immediately approved it. This made the ministers relieved. Not only was the posthumous title and temple name of the late emperor, but the key was that it seemed to indicate that His Highness the crown prince had realized that it would be of no benefit to vent his dissatisfaction with the late emperor at will.

Next, the princes, ministers, foreign envoys, monks and Taoists took turns to express their opinions and encouragement, but the prince was so sad that he could not bear to refuse. The princes, ministers, foreign envoys, monks and Taoists had to go out of the western garden and begged the prince to take the people of the world as their thoughts, and not to indulge in personal grief. Rely return to the holy heart and be upright as soon as possible!

The prince had to reluctantly agree. The king and his ministers met and cried bitterly, but he felt relieved in his heart. He finished the show of persuading the show. The Ministry of Rites immediately arranged a ceremony to report to the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, the country, and the crown prince was the emperor. God naturally would not object, so he would be considered "obeying the order from heaven".

Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Heaven Supervision immediately looked forward to the days, and the Ministry of Rites, the Honglu Temple and other yamen also made every effort to prepare for the new emperor's ascension ceremony before the auspicious day. Although the emperor's body was not cold, he naturally could not do a big show. However, it is definitely not an easy task to complete the etiquette in just a few days without any omissions.

As for the venue of the throne ceremony, there was a fierce dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple. The Minister of Rites Jin Chun believed that it should be held in the Forbidden City, but the Minister of the Honglu Temple believed that the three halls are still in ruins and that it was hindering to hold in the Forbidden City. It should be held in the West Garden, in front of the spirit of the Emperor Daxing.

The Ministry of Rites insisted that the inheritance of the throne must be held in the Forbidden City. Even if the three halls have become ruins and the Ganqing Palace is still intact, a ceremony can still be held!

Some officials even believed that the throne ceremony should be held in Nanjing. After all, the three emperors before the Ming Dynasty all ascended the throne in Nanjing, and the Nanjing palace was intact...

In the end, he couldn't argue, so he could only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make an appointment. Zhu Gaochi was actually interested in the third plan, but he also knew it was unrealistic. After pondering for a while, he said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "I have decided to hold a ceremony in the Forbidden City."

"Your Highness is wise!" Jin Chun glanced at the Minister of the Honglu Temple with some pride and said loudly: "Then I will be in the Ganqing Palace..."

"It's not the Ganqing Palace, it's the Fengtian Palace." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice.

"It's Fengtian..." Jin Chunshun said halfway, looking at Zhu Gaochi in confusion and said, "Your Highness, after the Fengtian Palace was burned, it has not been rebuilt, and it is still a ruin..."

"I want to ascend the throne in front of the ruins!" His Highness the Crown Prince turned his mind: "It is to let the ministers understand that my Ming Dynasty is now in ruins, and if it deteriorates further, it will turn into a ruin!"

"This, Your Highness..." Jin Chun and others were shocked. How could there be any reason to hold a ceremony in front of the ruins?

"Don't say it again, your will is determined!" Zhu Gaochi said decisively...

Now the Crown Prince is the largest, and the location of the throne ceremony can only be handled according to his wishes. The officials of the Ministry of Rites tried their best to make the ceremony solemn and beautiful, and could not disobey the Crown Prince. Finally, the imperial throne and the Jintai tent were set up in front of Fengtian Gate. Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Heavenly Prison set up the drum, the Shangbao Department set up the treasure case, and the Jiaofang Department set up the Zhonghe Shao Music without doing it. Everyone started to be busy in the dark, and finally rushed on the eve of the hall, and all preparations were ready.

In the early morning of the ceremony, under the guidance of the Yousi, the prince wore mourning clothes to worship the heaven, the ancestral temple, and the country. Then, under the service of the eunuch, took off his mourning clothes, put on his robes and robes made by the needle bureau. Under the guidance of the full braised book of the Jinyiwei, and with the sound of bells and drums, he went to Fengtianmen to succeed the throne at auspicious time.

At this time, the officials and officials had their own court robes and entered the Meridian Gate, and were divided into trains outside the Fengtian Gate, where the ceremonial guards were everywhere, waiting for the new emperor to arrive.

According to the ancestral system, when the late emperor passed away, the vassal kings were not allowed to go to Beijing to attend the funeral, so naturally they would not appear at the throne ceremony. Therefore, the nobles and officials respected several dukes. The first one was the cousin of the current emperor, Xu Jingchang, Duke Dingguo. Xu Jingchang was the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the son of Xu Zengshou, who was executed by Jianwen during the Jingnan Campaign. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was grateful for the contributions of this brother-in-law and appointed his son as Duke Dingguo. For the sake of his wife, Empress Xu, he did not abolish the Duke of Wei, who was the eldest wife of Jianwen.

In this way, the Xu family is a family of two dukes, and naturally far superior to other dukes in terms of honor. However, the Duke of Wei and Dukes were in the wrong team after all, and were left in Nanjing by Zhu Di and did not move to Beijing together, which was considered to have faded out of the front line. Now the Duke of Ding of the Duke of the Xu family is the representative of the Xu family. However, Xu Jingchang is a scholar who cannot ride a horse and a bow. Therefore, although the Xu family has a favored status, its power is far inferior to Dukes of England and Dukes of Cheng who are standing on his right.

The British Duke Zhang Fu and the Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Neng are the two leaders of the current Ming generals and military general groups.

What all officials and ministers did not expect was that one person was the one who was ranked alongside the three dukes, Wang Xian, the Marquis of Le'an. But immediately, everyone understood that this was His Highness the Crown Prince? He expressed his attitude towards Wang Xian - he was not an eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty, but the number one hero of this dynasty!

For a time, the officials were thinking differently. Some were thinking that they should change their hostile attitude towards the top celebrity in this dynasty. Some were thinking about how to curry favor with Wang Xian, and some were angry that Wang Xian had taken the suspicion that he could actually clean up the landing. Some were worried that Wang Xian would be completely unable to control it...

There are hundreds of thoughts of the ministers and officials, but no one thinks that Wang Xian is not worthy of standing there! It is natural for him to stand before the three dukes!

As soon as the auspicious time comes, Zhu Gaochi, with the support of the eunuch, ascended to the seat in the Jintai tent. The eunuch shook the whip about a meter long leather whip and pulled out the whip like a cracking silver bottle. After three whip sounds, all the officials knelt down and bowed and performed a great ceremony!

After the salute, the official stood up and stood up, watching the Hanlin officials holding the edict, crossing the square in front of the hall, holding it to the imperial seal, and then awarded it to the Minister of Rites Jin Chun, who opened the edict to the succession of the throne in front of Fengtian Gate.

At the beginning, Zhu Gaoxu announced that he had to worship the heaven and earth under everyone's advice and ascend the throne! He followed the ancestors' Hong You and the Yongtu of the Holy Ming, so he decided to be the year name "Hong Xi" and changed the reign the next year.

The edict of the ascension to the throne was scattered in a gorgeous way, which was the meaning of the title. The ministers were drowsy when they heard the year name, and they became more energetic. They thought this was about to end, but Jin Chun had no intention of stopping, but continued to recite: "All the rules for action are shown in the future..."

‘There are some strategies for governing the edict in the ascension of the throne?!’ The officials widened their eyes and straightened their ears, for fear that they would miss the opportunity to understand the new emperor’s intentions as soon as possible.

"From today, officials, military, civilians, etc., except for treason, great rebellion, descendants murder grandparents, wives, concubines, husbands and slaves, and maids kill masters without pardon, the rest have been discovered, but have not been discovered, and have been established, and have not been established, and there is no serious crime, and all of them have been pardoned!"

'This is the general amnesty for the world, the meaning of the question...'The officials didn't care about this, and listened to Jin Chun and continued to recite:

"Before December of the 19th year of Yongle, the tax arrears were exempted from all taxes and grains!"

‘This is to exempt the tax arrears of years. The emperor ascended the throne and always let the people enjoy the rain and dew...’

"Everyone escapes and moves to the households, they are punished for their crimes, and are allowed to return to their hometowns and resume their business. They are exempted from labor for two years, and they are exempted from all taxes and grains owed."

‘This is to let refugees return home, the emperor is really impatient,’

"All national treasure ships voyages to the West have stopped. The goods were handed over to Nanjing for sale. The officials from both sides were sent to Beijing and returned to Beijing as soon as possible. The soldiers, civilians and others all went to Ning's homes."

As soon as this was released, the expressions on the faces of all officials were very wonderful. Unexpectedly, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he would destroy the voyage to the West, which the late emperor was proud of!

Before he could think about the consequences of this, Jin Chun continued to chant:

"Those who buy horses in various places in the Western Regions; those who buy gems and wood in Yunnan, Myanmar and other places; those who build sea ships in various places; compradors and compradors and compradors and various colors of silk, yarn, gems, etc., as well as materials, pigments, etc., and weaving bureaus in Suzhou and Hangzhou, copy paper and magnets everywhere, purchase Li wood boards, and all kinds of seafood and other items are stopped! The officials and others sent to the office and then set off for Beijing, and the officials and soldiers returned to the original guards, and the service was not allowed to remain!"
