In Liangxiang County, southwest of Beijing, the stalemate has entered its third day.
Yang Tinghe was caught off guard by Zhu Houcong's persistence and willfulness. He didn't expect that this thirteen-year-old boy was so tough and stubborn and refused to bow his head. In fact, he had already threatened him with some threats, but he refused to accept them.
Yang Tinghe felt that he seemed to have made a mistake. The Zhu Houcong he chose seemed not so easy to deal with in terms of personality, and seemed to be similar to the dead emperor.
The only difference is that Zhu Houcong seems to be more reasonable, and what he says is not arbitrary. Unlike the one at the beginning, who has no reason and just acts based on his temper, without caring about the feelings and recommendations of his subordinates.
However, although Zhu Houcong's request was reasonable, Yang Tinghe could not satisfy him. He refused to inherit the throne, which was difficult for the Queen Mother alone. He also promised the Queen Mother that the new emperor would inherit the throne.
, becoming her future reliance rather than a threat to her status. If she agrees to Zhu Houcong's request, the Queen Mother will definitely be extremely angry.
But the problem now is that time waits for no one, time is very urgent, and decisions must be made.
Regardless of whether Zhu Houcong is a suitable candidate, there is no time to look for other candidates. Zhang Yanling has already arrived at Xuanfu and reported that his chariots and horses have passed the Wandu Department of Xuanfu and are heading towards Juyong Pass. As for the cavalry
In terms of the journey, it only takes three to five days from Xuanfu to enter Gyeonggi and arrive in the capital. When Zhang Yanling enters the capital, things will immediately become troublesome. Everything that has been arranged, even those who have expressed their opinions, will be very worried.
Be quick to betray.

We must hurry up before he comes back. The emperor must ascend the throne. In these few days, this matter must be settled.
Since Zhu Houcong has given a choice, the minimum is to let his parents live in the palace. Well, this can be discussed. Since this Zhu Houcong is stubborn and refuses to give in, there is no need to argue with him at this time. It is best.
The best way is to discuss it with the Queen Mother and get her to relax.
I'm not sure I can take down Zhu Houcong, but I'm sure I can take down Empress Dowager Zhang.
So, after returning to the capital and reporting the situation to the Empress Dowager Zhang, Yang Tinghe persuaded the Empress Dowager Zhang: "After all, the new emperor grew up with his parents, and it is human nature to miss his biological parents. Moreover, this just shows that the new emperor grew up with his parents.
He is a kind-hearted person who never forgets his filial piety.
It would be better for the Queen Mother to be more generous, grant him permission, and agree to take his parents to live in the capital. In this way, the new emperor will think of the Queen Mother's magnanimity, and will be more filial to the Queen Mother in the future. This will avoid a stalemate over these things. If word spreads, he will think that
Something great happened."
Empress Dowager Zhang was very depressed. As she had said before, the new emperor could only respect herself as his mother in the future and could not have anything to do with his own parents to avoid confusion and breaking the rules in the future.
Yang Tinghe had fully agreed to this condition, but now he came to persuade him to issue an edict to allow his parents to enter the palace or live in the capital. In this case, how could the new emperor get close to him? His biological parents were here
Will you still be close to your nominal mother? This is a huge hidden danger.
Empress Dowager Zhang actually didn't care whether Zhu Houcong or someone else would be the emperor. She didn't understand why Yang Tinghe was eager to make Zhu Houcong the throne. Empress Dowager Zhang thought, since Zhu Houcong refused to abide by the agreement, then
Just find someone else to be the emperor. Although the imperial edict has been issued, it can be revoked or a new one is issued. It is better for others to just say a few words than to be led by this stubborn young man.
However, Queen Mother Zhang was no match for Yang Tinghe's sharp tongue. She didn't want to embarrass Yang Tinghe. During this period, seeing Yang Tinghe busy and busy, he was visibly losing weight and there were more wrinkles on his face. Zhang
The Queen Mother is soft-hearted, so why not make some concessions.
On the morning of August 25th, Yang Tinghe rushed to the palace in Liangxiang County with the Queen Mother's latest imperial edict, as well as the Chinese, civil and military officials of the DPRK.
Yang Tinghe read out the Empress Dowager's Edict simply because she was thinking of Prince Xing's filial piety towards his parents for raising him. Therefore, the Empress Dowager made a special decree to allow Prince Xing and his wife to enter the capital after the situation stabilized. The imperial court will build the Prince's Mansion outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace for Xing.
While the king and his wife live there, the emperor can also pay respect to his parents at any time as a sign of filial piety.

At the same time, all civil and military officials came together to express their opinions, imploring the new emperor to come to Beijing immediately and assume the throne of emperor, so as to reassure the world.
For Zhu Houcong, he knew in his heart that this was the best result he could obtain at present. If he were any more stubborn, he might end up in a mess. What did he want? Is it really for the name of his so-called parents?
Abandoning the throne over issues? Then
Isn't it a big joke? I want to use this to test and open a hole. I want those people who are watching eagerly and ready to manipulate me, the civil and military officials up and down the court, and the emperor's relatives to all understand. He Zhu Houcong
I'm not here to be manipulated by them.
This incident may seem like a farce. It may not seem necessary at all. But in the eyes of both parties involved, it actually has a huge impact.
The thirteen-year-old boy actually achieved a small victory when facing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the Queen Mother and Yang Tinghe. The victory was not big, but it was enough to increase his confidence and make the fledgling boy feel complacent. Of course, this boy will always
What is also unclear is that the reason why Yang Tinghe swallowed his anger so much was not because Zhu Houcong was so capable, but because he was too anxious. The person he feared most was on the way and was about to return to Beijing, so he had to do this.
Zhu Houcong accepted Yi's order, met with the ministers, and softened his attitude. Then everyone started to get busy, and the carriages and horses started to escort Zhu Houcong into the capital.
In the evening of the 25th, the city gates of Yongding Gate were wide open, and the people of the capital stood on both sides of the imperial road. They saw the future young man sitting under the yellow umbrella of the tall chariot under the setting sun.
emperor.
The young man also looked at the magnificent city in front of him with an excited expression, and he was also very excited in his heart that he was about to become the master of this ancient empire. He wanted to control his emotions and behave calmly and generously. But
This was a kind of overflowing happiness and excitement that surged up from his heart, and he couldn't resist it.
That night, Zhu Houcong was welcomed into the palace, and Empress Dowager Zhang personally arranged for Zhu Houcong to live in the Wenhua Palace. This was once the location of the Prince's East Palace. Allowing Zhu Houcong to live here showed that Zhu Houcong was the crown prince of the late emperor and would be treated as the crown prince.
ascended the throne as the emperor.
The next morning, Fei Hong, the Minister of Rites, together with Mao Cheng, Qin Tianjian and other relevant officials, argued that August 28th was an auspicious day, and he could choose an auspicious time to ascend the throne. He asked the imperial court for discussion and approval.
Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, was of course eager to speed up the process. He summoned officials from the foreign court and relatives to discuss the matter, and finally reached an agreement to officially hold the new emperor's enthronement ceremony on August 28.

Yang Tinghe reported the results to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and after getting the approval of the Empress Dowager Zhang, he went to inform Zhu Houcong. Naturally, Zhu Houcong had no objections. However, Zhu Houcong was not satisfied with the "Shaozhi" proposed by Yang Tinghe in terms of the choice of the reign name.
"I think 'Jiajing' is better than Shao Zhi. Jiajing means beauty. Jing means peace. Jiajing means peace and prosperity for the country and peace for the people. It is also the name for governing the world."
How could Yang Tinghe be in the mood to talk to him about this? Jiajing was Jiajing, even if it was called a cat or dog year, why shouldn't it be governed by people? Besides, there were so many things before he ascended the throne, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhu Houcong here, so he agreed even if he agreed
.
On the morning of the 27th, various affairs were in progress. The people in the capital also learned about the upcoming enthronement ceremony through notices. Starting from noon on the 27th, in order to cooperate with the safety of the emperor's enthronement ceremony, a new round of
The order to close down the entire city and impose martial law was once again issued.
Starting from noon on the 27th, the entire city will be on alert for three days, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting the capital. Even if the sky falls, it will not affect the enthronement ceremony. This is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty.
