Let us say that after Hongshi left Baylor Mansion, he went to a temple in the suburbs of Beijing. When he led people to capture prisoners, he deliberately avoided this temple, not because he did not want to offend the so-called Buddha, but because this place
Fei Yanggu’s bones are stored there
Hui, after he had an accident that day and was thrown into the clan's mansion, the Prince's palace was raided. Fei Yanggu, who had suffered a stroke for a long time, could not bear the blow and passed away like a candle in the wind. The secret guards took away his body.
After cremating him, he stored it in this temple.
Standing in front of Fei Yanggu's memorial tablet, Hongshi said softly: "Grandpa, please wait a few more days. After I am named regent and take over the power of the court, I will definitely connect you to the Ancestral Temple and receive the royal incense for centuries."
"
The days that followed were calm and calm. Hongshi sent people to patrol the nine gates of the capital, but no suspicious people were found. However, Fobi's 200,000-strong army was stationed outside the city and never left.
Day after day passed, and finally the auspicious day of the 16th day of the first lunar month arrived. During this period, everyone in the Ministry of Etiquette was extremely busy, but finally all the ceremonial guards used for the enthronement ceremony were prepared, and nothing was missed.
Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Hongrong first went to the Baohe Hall to surrender, and then went to the Taihe Hall where he was the emperor. The Zhonghe Shao Band played music, and bells and drums were sounded at the Meridian Gate. After taking the throne, the whip was sounded three times at the foot of the steps.
The ministers performed the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times as ordered to show their recognition of his position as emperor and their loyalty to the new emperor from then on.
Although Hongshi did not hold any official position, he was still among the hundreds of officials. After the long and complicated ceremony, Hongluo, who had been expressionless, came to the Yangxin Hall and was knelt down and kowtowed again by the crowd, but in the Yangxin Hall
, there are two more chairs, and the Nala family and the Liu family in court clothes are sitting respectively.
The irony is that these two people, one a deposed queen and the other a deposed concubine, are now wearing the court uniforms of the queen and the concubine respectively. Although many officials can't stand it, they know each other well that after the sixth prince ascends the throne, he will definitely
I will honor these two people as queen mothers, so I don't dare to say anything.
Sure enough, after all the officials had finished the ceremony, Sixi, with a numb expression, handed out two imperial edicts, which were to honor Nala and Liu as the Queen Mother. Nala was honored as the Queen Mother, and Liu was honored as the Queen Mother.
As Empress Dowager Qianyi, they lived together in Cining Palace.
The Nala family and the Liu family had waited for so many years, and finally waited for this day. Naturally, they were filled with joy. They stood up and took over the imperial edict from Si Xi. Then hundreds of officials paid homage to the two empress dowagers. Zhang Tingyu and other ministers loyal to Yongzheng,
He shook his head secretly and sighed, worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty.
After the incident was over, Sixi once again took out an imperial edict, unfolded it slowly and read: "By God's fate, the emperor issued an edict: Hongshi risked his life to assassinate King Jungar Khan in this battle, and was defeated with a cunning plan.
Jungar's tens of thousands of troops rescued the Qing Dynasty from danger. They have made great contributions to protecting the country. Now, when he is restored to prominence, he will be appointed as the prince and appointed as the regent of the dynasty to assist the emperor and co-manage the dynasty's affairs. I admire this!"
Different from the two previous decrees to honor the Queen Mother, as soon as this decree came out, all the officials were in an uproar. Zhang Tingyu was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, although Hongshi assassinated Galdan and relieved the siege of the capital,
But it was he who attracted Jungar's army of hundreds of thousands.
Yes, he is a sinner of the Qing Dynasty. It is a mercy of the emperor to spare him life. How can we still appoint him as regent? Please take back the appointment immediately!" After him, several ministers who had the same thoughts as him also
They all stood up and asked Hongluo to take back his life.
At this time, Hongshi suddenly knelt down and said: "Although what Mr. Zhang said is untrue, the guilty minister did commit a big and irreparable mistake. The regent is a prince, and the guilty minister will never dare to accept it!"
Hongluo looked at Hongshi with disgust, but he had to follow Nala's earlier instructions and said: "This is wrong. No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong. You may have made mistakes before, but assassinating King Jungar Khan
These two things, including driving back Junggar's army, are enough to make up for any mistakes. Now is the time for the government to employ people. Please don't refuse anymore and help me manage the Qing Dynasty together and live up to Emperor Ama's expectations."
Hongshi was embarrassed and said: "The emperor now trusts the guilty minister, which really makes the guilty minister very grateful, but the guilty minister always feels guilty, and Zhang Xiang and several other adults are also very concerned about the emperor's appointment of the guilty minister as the regent.
If there is any criticism, the guilty minister... the guilty minister..."
Hongrong recited the words that he hated deeply, "I am the king of a country. Since I have decreed to appoint you as regent, there is no reason to take it back. I have made my decision and no one can have any objection."
A minister who was kneeling on the ground said in pain: "Your Majesty, this man Hongshi is ambitious and has always had bad intentions towards the Qing Dynasty. He even tried to force the palace to usurp the throne before. How can such a person be worthy of the Emperor's trust? Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Think again."
Hongrong pretended to be angry and said: "Prince Ding saved my Qing Dynasty from fire and water. Why do you think Prince Ding is so ambitious?"
"Your Majesty, Hongshi killed Li Shubi's 100,000-strong army, and left the Emperor's life or death uncertain. Each of these events proves that he has bad intentions towards the Qing Dynasty. His sweet words must not be believed." Zai Hongluo said.
Before he ascended the throne, because Yinzhen's life and death were unknown, he was already respected as the Supreme Emperor.
"Master Zhang, I said that what I did before was not my intention, but I was held hostage by Galdan and had no choice but to do it. All along, the only one I have been loyal to is the Qing Dynasty, otherwise I wouldn't have to do so much."
Zhang Tingyu snorted coldly and said: "That sounds nice. Whether it is a hijacking or the true intention, you know best. In short, with your character, you are definitely not worthy of being the regent of the Qing Dynasty!"
Although the regent is still a prince, he holds the power of the world and is an emperor in name only. He has decided that even if he risks his life, he will fight to the end and never let the Qing Dynasty fall into the hands of Hongshi.
.
Hearing this, Hongshi said: "Since Zhang has such objections to me, then..." He knelt down to Hongluo and said: "Please take back the emperor's order. The guilty minister cannot live up to the emperor's high expectations."
All of this was naturally a show. Before today, he and Nala had long expected that someone in the court would have many opinions on Hongshi being named regent. In order to prove that he had no intention of gaining power, they decided to
Such a drama was staged in the court, but no matter how he declined, Hongrong would not agree and would do everything possible to persuade him to stay. In the end, Hongshi acted reluctantly and accepted the regent.
After his voice fell, Zhang Tingyu said sternly: "Of course you can't afford it. The so-called strange trick to force the Jungar army to retreat was basically poisoning their food and drinking water. Tens of thousands of people were killed in one day.
Such vicious intentions make me feel ashamed even if I say it."
Hongshi lowered his face and said: "Xiang Zhang, I know you have objections to me, but I am doing this for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. If they don't poison the country, they will attack the city. Once they attack the city, do you know there will be
How many innocent people were killed by them, tens of thousands? Maybe hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Is this what Prime Minister Zhang wants to see?"
