.Xu Jie looked for silence. In addition to these matters between teachers and students, there was also a business matter, and ordered him to prepare for the new king's "Entering the Supreme Court".

Although the emperor's body was not cold, his family should not be without a master for a day, and his country should not be without a king for a day. Although after reading the will, the ministers called the new king as the "Emperor", they had not officially ascended the top, and they were not worthy of being in the name of "the truth of the matter". Therefore, the political reality urgently demanded that the new king, who was still immersed in the pain of "losing his father", should be officially ascended the throne immediately.

The convention is that as soon as the first seventh year of the late emperor was completed, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the ceremony of the great success. Because Gao Gong and Li Chunfang entered the cabinet at the same time, the largest official in the department is now, the left minister who was sick and retired, so it is natural to give him this job. Moreover, it is also beneficial to him... This job cannot be underestimated. The orthodox dynasty used to govern the country is nothing more than to guide him with virtue and to align him with etiquette. The emperor's praise of etiquette is the most solemn embodiment of etiquette. As long as the ceremony is done well, it will be the only choice for the Minister of Rites in the minds of all officials, and the road to the upward journey will be smooth.

After accepting the appointment, he immediately entered the state of silence. That night, compared with the "Huidian" and formulated a detailed work plan. According to the "Huidian", he set up the "Prayer of Encouraging Yi" according to the situation of "Huidian", requesting Sijun to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and planned to attach another "Huidian" note to the "Ascendant Yi" with a commentary... and gave a detailed explanation of the matters that the new king should pay attention to next.

The next morning, he handed over the two memorials, so he didn't have to cry anymore. He went straight to the duty room on the west side of the Meridian Gate and ordered people to pack up one. As the preparatory office for the big ceremony, a member of the ritual department came to listen to the matter.

The silent man ordered the Imperial Heaven Supervisor to confirm the auspicious day of the new king's ascendance to the extreme.

The Imperial Heaven Supervisor Zhou Yande arrived in a moment... During the national mourning period, officials were all mourning for the emperor in the yamen, and they were not allowed to ask for leave or go home. It would be convenient to send him.

Zhou Yande had already read the almanac on the day and star signs at night, and had watched the sun car. When Chenbutang asked, he told him that August 14th in three days would be a good day, and he submitted the relevant documents. After reading it silently, he decided to set this day. Although the time was a bit tight, he had to hurry up to the throne. The longer it was delayed, the more incompetent he seemed to be the supervisor.

The days were settled, but they could not prepare immediately. There was also a play that was always the most tangible but enjoyable. Chen Si clarified several details with the right assistant Yin Shizhan, and at the same time he asked his subordinates. Although it had been almost two years since he left the Ministry of Rites, there had been a group of people in the department. However, Yin Shizhan was also an old man from Yudi, and most of the doctors below admired the name of silence, so he used his fingers like his arms. In his whispers, Chen Si clan divided a complex big errand into small errands. Then he clarified these small errands so that everyone had their own affairs and would not be too laborious. Unconsciously, he relieved everyone's tension, which made Yin Shizhan admire that this person's administrative ability had indeed reached a state of enlightenment.

After assigning the task, he looked silently at Wang Qiming who had come in at some point: "Have you found all the advice to enter?"

"Mr. Hui" Wang Qiming is much fatter than before, and looks younger, but his vulgar temperament has not changed. He nodded and smiled, "I have found everything, I have served as a farmer, a farmer, a filial piety, and more than a hundred people are waiting outside the Meridian Gate."

"You take them to practice first, and wait for Lord Yin and I to invite all the nobles," said silently: "Time is tight, so don't slack off."

Wang Qiming responded repeatedly and stepped back.

Chen Si and Yin Shizhan took the prepared list and went to the mourning office of Duke and Marquis of the Zongren Mansion, and invited more than a dozen Duke and Marquis, including Duke Cheng, Duke Yingwu, and Qinghebo, to be representatives of the people, to lead representatives of the people. This is the popular group of Duke and Marquis who are often performed in history, including the volunteer group composed of these Duke and Marquis, Duke and Marquis, scholars, farmers, workers, and filial piety. They went outside the Meridian Gate to submit the subsequent emperor to ascend the throne.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a little practice, the next day, the officials of the Ministry of Rites guided the Youyou Group to come to the Chaozhong Road outside the Forbidden City, and tens of thousands of words were spoken in front of Huiji Gate on the east side of Taihe Gate. Although it was empty, it was carried out without any trace.

The emperor received the "Comment on Advocacy" and also gave an answer according to etiquette. The Secretary of the Lishu read it at Huijimen, saying: "I read the notes I have been worried about the country and are concerned about the grief. I am not willing to hear the matter of maintaining the throne. I am not sure what I ask for. "It means that I have understood your kindness, but I just died, and my father is in pain. I am not in the mood to discuss the ascension of the throne, so please come back.

The silence, watching coldly, couldn't help but wonder, if everyone just dispersed, would the emperor inside go crazy? Then he thought, it was impossible to go crazy, but he would definitely be in trouble. So he quickly said, "The new king is filial, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, so I have to invite him again!" So he made another statement and was returned by the new king. The reason this time was that I felt that I was not competent, so I still couldn't agree to everyone.

At this time, the play between the ministers and the people was finished. They silently led all civil and military officials to the Jimen, went to Wenhua Hall and invited them again. The officials were still very proud of their faces, and finally they were immersed in the pain of losing their father. They invited the emperor out and listened to the reading of the third profound and difficult "Commitment to Advocate" presented by the officials. This time, the new king did not refuse, but summoned the ministers of the cabinet, five governments, six ministries and other ministers to enter the hall, and discussed it seriously, and then issued an edict according to the cabinet ticket:

‘Your and others have a contract with you, and you are only loyal. The heavenly rank is heavy, and it is hard to be in vain. Besides, the last order is in progress, so you dare not be inferior, so you are reluctant to follow what you ask for.’

So the ministers shouted long live to celebrate the Ming Dynasty. The Imperial Heavenly Supervisor came out and reported two days later. The new king thought it was too fast, so the ministers persuaded him again and asked His Majesty to ascend to the extreme quickly. The new king reluctantly agreed.

As the days come, everyone goes back to change their clothes and wait for the ceremony. However, the silence begins to have a busy day and night. The workload is very terrifying. It takes two days to prepare tens of thousands of items, including throne, case, cloud disk, cloud cover, incense, candle, fruit, yellow paper and gold thread, and place them in the corresponding place. At this time, the Silijian also joined in. Without these people for help, you can't imagine putting these things together in such a short time.

Fortunately, Ma Sen and Huang Jin had a good relationship with Chen Ji, and they did not shirk responsibility. The inside and outside court cooperated closely and prepared for two days and nights. Finally, the ox was basically prepared on the 13th day. Then the chief officer set up a throne in the Zhongji Hall overnight. This is the place where the new king rests before the ceremony, so it can be simpler.

The main ceremony was naturally held in the Huangji Hall, the head of the three main halls, and was mainly arranged by each yamen... The department set up a throne; Shangbao Department set up a treasure case, Jinyiwei set up a cloud plate, and the cloud covers the east of the hall; Hongbang Temple set up a table case outside the hall, Jiaofang Department set up a arrangement, Zhonghe Shao music, and on both sides of the Danbi... But this 100-person band only set up and does not really perform. During the entire ceremony, their task was to stand silently and act as decorations.

The new king ascends to the top is a great ceremony for the country. It should be held grandly, but during the mourning period, he must show grief. The way to compromise is to be both grand and solemn... This silent band is the representative of this compromise.

In addition, a case reading must be set up on Chengtian Gate, a cloud cover, and a cloud chariot outside the Meridian Gate... As for the details, the arrangement is too complicated, and the press will not be shown. In addition to supervising the arrangement of the venue, Chen Si is also responsible for organizing all officials and attending the hall personnel to conduct rehearsals overnight to ensure that the ceremony is smooth and foolproof.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day at Yin hour, the new king sent four cabinet ministers to the north and south suburbs, Taimiao, and Sheji altar to pay tribute. He himself accompanied by Shen Mo, came to his father's Zhanggong Palace, performed the four-level ceremony, and read the blessings for the new king, burned them to report to the late emperor, and then the new king gave four more worships and completed his order.

At this time, the new king could finally take off his smelly mourning clothes and put on the most solemn and luxurious tea... It was the kind that Jiajing wore about ten days ago, of course, was brand new.

By the way, this was also the first time that Zhu Zaiye wore the emperor's clothes. For more than ten days, he had been wearing mourning clothes and holding a filial son's stick, which was similar to beggars.

Chen Si also changed into a dark sacrificial uniform. Looking at the new king Xiang's high-sounding sound, it was so daring to look at him. He asked with a smile: "How does Your Majesty feel?"

Zhu Zai'er thought for a while and replied, "Hot." This is the truth. Among the imperial costumes, there are the most crown accessories in this set of crown accessories. They are heavy and complicated to wear, and they will definitely not feel comfortable.

He was silent and whispered: "Just bear it, you don't wear it so much."

Zhu Zai'er nodded and asked, "What are you doing below?"

"What's next..." Chen Si had already mastered the process, but he did not dare to tell Zhu Zai'anming, for fear that the weak emperor would faint directly, so he vaguely said: "It may be a bit hard to follow the process."

Zhu Zai'an did not ask any more. Under Shen Mo's guidance, he came to the Danbi of Huangji Hall. There was a long incense table here. Zhu Zai'an knelt in front of the table and performed a ritual of five bows and three bows to the old god; then went to Fengxian Hall and performed a ritual of five bows and three bows to the ancestors; then went to the banquets of Emperor Xingxian, and five bows and three bows; then went to Fengci Hall and five bows and three bows; then went to the banquets of Empress Dowager Zhangxian, and five bows and three bows; then went to the banquets of Emperor Daxing, and five bows and three bows... There were thirty-five bows and twenty-one bows, which made Zhu Zai'an dizzy and couldn't stand steadily.

"Liankan can't hold on?" Zhu Zai'er's face turned pale and he looked at the silent in despair, "If you continue to bow, you will have to let my son succeed to the throne."

"On the day of a happy day, what is the emperor saying? "I smiled silently and comfortedly: "There is the last one, which is the one whom I am a good decision. After you worship, you will be calm and refreshed.

"Uh..." I couldn't bear to wiping his kindness, Zhu Zai'an came to a palace room next to Zhanggong with Huang Jin's support. He saw that there were also several banquets here. Through the lingering smoke, he saw that there was a tablet of his biological mother, Concubine Du Kang.

Zhu Zai's body suddenly froze. He broke free from Huang Jin's support and hid in front of the tablet and cried bitterly: "Mother, mother, I can finally see you with a legitimate reputation. Finally, no one can bully us mother and mother..." Unlike the fake sadness in front, Zhu Zai's really started crying this time. After persuading the people around him several times, he gradually stopped crying.

After being helped up, Zhu Zai'an cast a grateful look at the silent, and whispered: "Thank you for thinking about my mother."

"Happy to serve." said silently, "Your Majesty, you can go to Zhongji Temple to rest for a while."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In front of the Huangji Palace, before dawn, the Han generals from the Jinyiwei came to the Danbi in front of the hall, Dange... that is, the steps and the open space in front of the steps, and set up a large carriage... that is, the emperor's carriage, guards and ceremonial guards, including five paths, various flags, covers, fans, elephants, tigers, leopards, horses, etc., all of them were placed to show the emperor's aura.

These people and things have just been arranged, and auspicious times have arrived. The bells and drums are ringing on the bells and drums on the bells and drums, the Meridian Gate is opened, and the left and right trunk doors are opened, and all officials have also removed mourning clothes, wear dark sacrificial clothes, enter one after another through the two trunk doors, and follow the train on the Dan.

Then the Minister of the Honglu Temple guided all kinds of people who performed the tasks in the ceremony... including guides, etiquettes, introductions and other officials; officials such as Tongzan, Lizan, and other officials; officials such as Zhiban, Dianyi, and various chamber officials, various generals, guards, and eunuchs; responsible for whips, ceremonial guards, and musicians who could be called silent people. These people were collectively called deacons, with eight or nine hundred people, and came to the rear of Zhongji Palace in a mighty manner to salute the emperor.

After the ceremony, everyone returned to the payment. After each took his place, he silently asked the emperor to enter the hall. So the ceremonial guards led Zhu Zai'an out of the middle gate and the imperial palace. When the emperor sat down, the Jinyiwei whipped nine times, the Han general rolled the curtains, and the Hongbiao Temple's minister sang: "The officials saluted."

So more than a thousand officials in Danbu in front of the hall knelt down and prayed for five and three kowtows. Every time the officials held their bows, the rings and pants on their waists touched each other, making a tinging sound, which was extremely pleasant... No wonder they didn't use band accompaniment.

After the ceremony, all the officials came out one after another and returned to Fengtian Gate to wait quietly.

In Fengtian Hall, the Grand Secretary Xu Jie presented the "Edict of the Edict". Zhu Zai'an symbolically looked at it, and then the emperor's seal was returned to Xu Jie by the supervisor of the Ministry of Rites. Then the Minister of the Honglu Temple requested to issue an edict. After the report was approved, the veteran Xu Pavilion general Dengji passed the edict to Chen Si. He held the edict in his hands with a solemn expression. He went out of the Huangji Hall from the left gate, passed Fengtian Gate, Jinshui Bridge, and left the Meridian Gate. He arrived in front of the cloud-lifting chariot and placed the edict on the edict with a solemn expression.

The Han general raised the clouds and led to Fengtianmen from Huagai. At this time, the general manager of the rituals and stewards had been waiting for a long time, so he read the "Longqing Edict" on Fengtianmen. The general spirit of the edict was in line with the "Jiajing End of the Unknown", which was nothing more than extending and concretizing the content of the "Jiajing End of the Unknown". In fact, under the banner of Jiajing, it was to rebel against the Jiajing government. In addition, it was to amnesty the world; those who were lonely and had no support should give silk and rice... In short, it means to be kind to both China and foreign countries, which means that the world will be renewed and the people will celebrate together.

In addition, there are also those who posthumously conferred Concubine Du Kang as the Empress Dowager and buried with Yongling; the reign of the Longqing next year will be changed, etc. These are the intentions of the edict, so there is no need to repeat them.

After the edict was read, the officials shouted long live, long live. The ceremony of ascension was announced. The whole process was short and solemn, and the conflict between celebration and grief was properly resolved... The few rituals ensured respect for the former emperor; but every step taken was extremely grand, and it was just right to celebrate the new king's ascension to the throne. The designers took great pains to say.

Seeing the ceremony ending, all the officials dispersed, and silent breathed a sigh of relief. The whole ceremony was quite complete, and at least he did not make any mistakes with his two swords.

Because the 27-day mourning was just halfway through, there was no banquet, and all officials could not go home. All the people attending the ceremony, including the emperor, obediently removed their dresses, changed into mourning clothes, and continued to guard the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty.

But silence is an exception, because he still has to prepare for the funeral of Emperor Daxing, but this is much easier than the ceremony of the supreme ceremony. He prepared slowly for half a month. On the first day of September, the last emperor was in funeral. Emperor Longqing and all officials sent Jiajing's Lingshu to Yongling Mountain for funeral.

Seeing the gate of the underground palace slowly closing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent away Emperor Jiajing, who had been tormenting forty-five years of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the young Emperor Longqing and thinking of his kind and respectful reputation, everyone's hearts would arouse endless hope.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the way back to Beijing, Longqing issued three decrees. First, during the mourning period, all officials were tired and allowed to rest for seven days; second, he immediately issued a special decree to release Hai Rui; third, he demolished Yuzhi altar, Liangguan, and the Taoist architecture of the West Garden.

After receiving the order, the assistant ministers looked at each other. The emperor's Taoist conduct was too tender and could not hide it from their sharp eyes. The first memorial was that Emperor Longqing himself was tired and wanted to rest for a few days. Everyone knew that he had always been weak, so he didn't say anything. But it was a bit inappropriate for his request to release Hai Rui immediately and demolish the altar of the Taoist temple. Although it was in line with the spirit of "The Unswer of the Desolation" and "The Emperor of the Supreme Edict", it was disrespectful to the late emperor after all. The reason should be proposed by his subordinates, and then the emperor thought about it painfully, and then reluctantly agreed. This was the decent way.

Like Long Qing, he couldn't wait to reveal his sleeves, and he was venting his anger happily, but his journey was almost right, "What did the people in the world think of him?"

But this was the first time the new king issued an order, so it was not very good to just push back. Xu Jie made a decision and said, "Hai Rui can be released, but the Taoist temple altar is not in a hurry to be demolished..." Everyone thought it was kind.
