I'm really not the carpenter emperor

This sudden loud shout made all the surrounding maids and eunuchs tremble, and they subconsciously moved away a few steps away, even Zhu Youxiao was all refreshed.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao and his party left the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, several eunuchs rushed towards them. The leader of them held Li Kangfei's edict in his hand and shouted: "Stop!"

"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, the eldest son of the emperor must stay in Qianqing Palace!"

"Fart, Li Xuan is not even a concubine, what kind of empress dowager!" Zhang Weixian didn't even look at it, directly snatched the so-called edict and threw it on the ground, stabbed the leading eunuch to death, and ordered:

"Every soldier of our Beijing camp who encounters an eunuch blocking Wang Jia will be killed on the spot!"

"Follow the order!"

Under the escort of the soldiers from the Beijing camp, Zhu Youxiao arrived at the Wenhua Palace very smoothly. The eunuchs who came to stop him on the way, no matter what excuses they used, Zhang Weixian would not say another word and cut one by one.

When Zhang Weixian and several chief executives of the Beijing Camp carried the proud son to the Wenhua Palace, their knives were already stained with blood, and the officials who were eager to see through came forward from afar, shouting and bowing down.

"Your Highness, the Qianqing Palace is here!" Zhang Weixian raised the curtain of the sedan chair and half-kneeled beside him.

Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to walk into the Wenhua Hall, and when he saw that the ministers had already lined up on both sides, the chief minister of the cabinet, Cong Zhe, came out first and said:

"When the first emperor passed away, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Highness is the eldest son of the first emperor. On an auspicious day, he will be the emperor!"

The important ministers nearby also echoed: "Your Highness Yisu is the emperor!"

After everyone finished speaking, Fang Congzhe continued: "The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites initially planned that the sixth day of October is an auspicious day. Due to the problem of Empress Xi Li, the enthronement ceremony should be sooner rather than later."

Zhu Youxiao had nothing to say, after all, from the perspective of history, there would be no troubles on this day, so he nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's do it according to the rules!"

Just after finishing speaking, Yang Lian from Bingke told the matter: "Xi Lixuan is not as good as the noble concubine, and has been living in Qianqing Palace for many days since the first emperor's visit, and the law and etiquette are inconsistent. Please ask His Royal Highness the eldest son to order him to move to the palace!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked at the Donglin party officials who shared the same hatred and the helpless cabinet chief assistant Fang Congzhe, and knew that this was the prelude to the palace transfer case.

In fact, at this time, the Donglin Party has basically established its absolute dominance in the party struggle.

Not only did Zhu Youxiao, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, have no right or reason to stop him, even Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet as the leader of the Chu Party, could not take the risk of blocking the Donglin Party's move.

Zhu Youxiao knew that the move of the palace by the Donglin Party was not just to force Xi Li Xuanshi and Cui Wensheng to submit, and it was even more impossible to be as loyal to him as it was written in the history books.

This Yang Lian jumped out, in fact, he also used this matter to see if Zhu Youxiao would be easy to fool in the future. After all, supporting an emperor who is not easy to control is no better than letting Xili regent.

Zhu Youxiao knew well that only by ordering Xi Li to move the palace could he gain the support of the Donglin party members.

For Zhu Youxiao now, it doesn't matter, anyway, Xi Li is not his nanny, the most important thing is to sit in that position first.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Youxiao, who is only the eldest son of the emperor and not the prince, wants to ascend to the throne, he must return to the Qianqing Palace to establish Zhengshuo status. This is why Xi Li stole the Qianqing Palace.

In terms of the art of war, this is taking advantage of the location.

Zhu Youxiao didn't hesitate here like in history. On the contrary, he took a meaningful look at Yang Lian, and quickly said:

"This is justified. The late emperor chose Li Shi and others to live in Renshou Palace and move out immediately. There must be no mistake!"

"His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, Shengming!" As expected, Yang Lian's expression remained unchanged, and he kowtowed: "Blessed is Daming!"

After Yang Lian finished worshiping, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian, and suddenly said: "Leave this matter to the British government, the sooner the better!"

Zhu Youxiao's last move was true and Yang Lian was stunned on the spot.

……

In a moment, Zhang Weixian, the British prince in armor, led more than [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp and stood in front of the gate of Qianqing Palace.

He didn't know the deep meaning of Zhu Youxiao's asking him to do this. He only knew that the emperor had an order, and the courtiers must obey it, even though the emperor is not yet the emperor.

"What are you doing!?" An eunuch was shocked when he saw the soldiers coming to the Qianqing Palace, and rushed forward with sticks and chairs.

"The empress dowager is here, disturbing her old man, who of you can afford it!"

Zhang Weixian didn't want to do anything yet, but just signaled the soldiers to stand still, and stood in front of the door and said politely: "By the order of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Daming Emperor, Li Shi and others will be selected to live in Renshou Palace, and they will move out immediately. There will be no mistakes. !"

Hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly ran back.

Zhang Weixian, who thought it could be done directly, stood in front of the door and waited for a while, but found that the door was suddenly closed, and the sound of moving objects was heard from the courtyard.

At that time, he understood that these guys wanted to play hard!

Usually at this time, if the civil servants come to dissuade him, there is basically nothing to do, but who is Zhang Weixian?

The order of His Royal Highness the eldest son, if you say you don't move it, don't move it, where will I put my face?

Ever since, Zhang Weixian shouted directly: "Go back to the Beijing camp to pass the order, and lead the soldiers to surround the Qianqing Palace for me!"

"Today she has to move even if she moves, and she has to move if she doesn't move, who the hell is used to it!"

Chapter 3 Proclaiming Emperor

"What did you say, he dared to lead troops to surround the Qing Palace?" Li Xuan's eyes widened upon hearing the news, "Who gave him the courage to do that!"

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of crackling tables and chairs being pushed down in the courtyard. Dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp filed in and controlled the servants of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Weixian stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace, clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, ordered Li Xuanshi to move out of the Qianqing Palace immediately, and don't force the ministers to do anything."

Li Xuan watched the armed soldiers outside the door, and his intention to stare at the pit to see what they could do was shaken a lot.

After all, no one expected that a group of soldiers would come, and it would not work to reason with the soldiers or play tricks.

Seeing this posture, Cui Wensheng was also very panicked, and said aside: "Queen Mother, let's move the palace first, Renshou Palace is not bad."

"Not bad, not bad!" Li Xuan waiter couldn't get down in a fit of anger, and said coldly: "Just leave like this, wouldn't that let Zhu Youxiao succeed in enthroning?"

"How can I be a queen mother!"

"Oh!" Cui Wensheng saw that the soldiers of the Beijing camp outside were ready to move, and he was even more afraid that he would be buried with this old woman, so he hurriedly persuaded: "At this time, don't think so much, the most important thing is to save your life first!"

"It's not like you don't know what Zhang Weixian has done."

Hearing this, Li Xuanshi remembered Zhang Weixian, the No. [-] honorary relative in the capital, who was not afraid of anything except the emperor.

Faced with this situation, she also knew that no matter whether she walked or not, she would be dragged out, and walking by herself was nothing more than a decent way to move the palace.

It seems that Zhang Weixian has spared himself a little bit.

After a long silence, Li Xuan took a last look at the Qianqing Palace, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, and picked up the eighth princess who was born, and left in a hurry with Cui Wensheng and a few servants, heading for Renshou Palace.

……

"Idiot! You can't handle this kind of thing well. What use do we need you for?"

That night, behind the screen of the innermost small hall in the other courtyard of Renshou Palace, a eunuch with the face of a donkey reprimanded Cui Wensheng with the prestige of a superior person.

Through the screen, one can vaguely see this person's appearance, which should be extremely sinister.

"Father, my son doesn't want to either, but Xili Xuanshi, she...she doesn't have any real power at all, not to mention that the British Duke Zhang Weixian has a soldier in his hand."

"Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Weixian to come directly. I'm afraid even that old guy Yang Lian didn't think of this!"

This is the truth, Zhu Youxiao sent Zhang Weixian, the idiot Xian, to fight against the wind, which directly disrupted the Donglin Party's overall plan for the big case of moving the palace.

Hearing this, the donkey-faced eunuch rolled his eyes, Zhang Weixian was a bit tricky, and the British lineage still couldn't move.

Cui Wensheng, who was originally domineering, behaved like a child in front of this person. After being aggrieved for a long time, he mustered up his courage and said:

"Father, Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne seems to be an irreversible matter. Once his son is impeached by the Taoist officials, he will definitely be accused of being on your father's head again, so—"

Speaking of this, the man behind the screen suddenly looked over and asked with a half-smile:

"So, you want to run away?"

Cui Wensheng swallowed his saliva, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "My child is also thinking of my father, my child is not afraid of death, but I haven't served my father enough yet!"

"When Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he will definitely investigate the issue of offering red pills. Why don't you transfer your son to Nanjing first, so that the rumors will pass in the future, and then you will come back to serve your old man!"

The man immediately heard Cui Wensheng's little abacus, sneered a few times, and seeing Cui Wensheng prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, he said with a disgusted expression:

"Who told you to be my son? You were raped by that little baby, so I have to suffer too, right?"

"Tomorrow, I will ask the Minister of Rites and others to present a memorial to impeach you and demote you to Nanjing, but you must remember your father's kindness to me."

Cui Wensheng didn't notice the indifference on the face of the man behind the screen. After hearing this, his face was full of ecstasy, and he knocked his head loudly.

"Thank you dad, your kindness will never be forgotten by my son!"

……

On the morning of the fifth day of October in the 48th year of Wanli, it was less than a day before Zhu Youxiao's enthronement ceremony.

The past few days Zhu Youxiao lived very comfortably, because of what, because although the old lady Xi Lixuan has moved to the palace, she still deliberately wants to be regent, and the civil servants all want to make herself the throne.

The two of them were very happy, but did it affect Zhu Youxiao's eldest son's succession to the throne? It didn't!

Xi Lixuan is a woman after all, even if Cui Wensheng, a powerful eunuch in the palace, is added, it doesn't matter, and it is often a war of words with the officials.

After moving to the palace, although Xi Lixuan knew that he had no chance of becoming a regency, he still did not give up, and asked to make himself the empress dowager first, and then make Zhu Youxiao take the throne.

Isn't this really nonsense?

For such an unreasonable request, the ministers turned into envoys of justice one after another, and categorically refused again. The conflict between the two sides intensified day by day, and the quarrel became more and more lively.

In fact, after so many days, the reason why Zhu Youxiao didn't say a word, there are two points.

The first is because the succession to the throne has been smooth in history, and there is no need to do anything.

The second point is to combine the historical knowledge given to him from the perspective of God to see who is watching the fun.

Many people saw that Zhu Youxiao remained silent in the face of this power struggle, and they were more determined to help him to the top. They never imagined that there was a man in his 16s inside the body of this 20-year-old boy.

"Stop messing around, it's time for me to ascend the throne."

……

The next day, Zhu Youxiao, who had been restored to the Qianqing Palace for a few days, opened the gate, dressed in the uniform worn by the Ming emperor when he was enthroned and other important ceremonies, and accompanied by Wang An, came to the Royal Ancestral Temple.

Some people say that enthronement requires a lot of steps, what is required is three requests and three rejections. Zhu Youxiao said, I am the emperor's eldest son orthodox, how can there be so many things.

To put it bluntly, on the day of enthronement, go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, then preside over the enthronement ceremony, and finally sit on the dragon chair, and you will be the emperor.

When Zhu Youxiao came to the ancestral temple, the two sides had already been decorated overnight with flowers, willows and greens, and along the way, there were also drums and music.

In such a lively scene, I don't know how Taichang, who had just died a few days ago, felt. Zhu Youxiao even thought, who the hell decorated it as festive as a marriage ceremony, and cut him off.

Will it work?

Of course, among the red, willow and green accessories, at least a few white rags were hung symbolically in the ancestral temple, barely letting Zhu Youxiao let go of the idea of ​​killing people.

Soon, the sound of the drum music gradually stopped, and everyone turned their attention to Zhu Youxiao who was at the front, but he didn't speak directly.

It was the first time for Zhu Youxiao to wear the uniform, and it was very uncomfortable to walk all the way. He twisted in front of the table set up by the Emperor Daxing, and changed into a comfortable posture. This is the loud voice:

"The former emperor suddenly collapsed and returned to the five elements. I inherit the order of the emperor's family, Hongxiu, a sage, and the last order of the emperor Daxing. It belongs to the order of ethics and enters Fengzong. At this time, I only tell heaven and earth, Sheji, Ancestors are emperors."

"Think deeply about the weight of entrustment, and sincerely work hard. Only my father, the emperor, has made great fortune and success, and the business success has been harmonious. If you want to be happy and suitable, you must change the old ways and make new ones."

"Everything is based on the old chapters, and it is also based on the respect and inheritance of the husband's predecessors. He only cares about virtues, respects relatives and virtuous people, and plans a new governance together. He regards next year as the first year of the apocalypse. Amnesty the world, and the beginning of reform with the people."

After talking about the succession edict, which I memorized overnight, the rest is very simple. The various steps of the enthronement ceremony are all carried out by the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Youxiao only needs to sit on it.

In this year, two emperors of the Ming Dynasty passed away one after another, and all parties in the court fought endlessly for their own interests. Cases of stiletto shooting, Hongwan case, and moving palace cases occurred one after another.

The Ming Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles, and the people were all frightened by it.

But on the sixth day of October, the 16-year-old Zhu Youxiao Yu Fengtianmen, that is, the emperor, the prestigious Tianqi Dynasty, has since stepped onto the stage of history.

On the same night, a fast horse from various prefectures in Huaibei rang the bell of the Forbidden City.

Chapter 4 factory guard

After ascending the throne, Zhu Youxiao, who has officially become the Emperor of Apocalypse in history, lay in his bedroom, Qianqing Palace, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his mind was full of thoughts.

On the first night of being emperor, Zhu Youxiao suffered from insomnia.

When the initial freshness dissipated, Zhu Youxiao, who was alone, suddenly felt lonely. Although he was under pressure to work when he was still in his later life, his parents and brothers often talked and complained to each other.

Qianqing Palace has always been the residence of the Ming Emperor.

This bedroom is so big, but it seems that there is something missing. Xi Li is so keen to steal the Qianqing Palace, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't understand what is so special about this person.

Looking at the dim candlelight around him, Zhu Youxiao, who was getting more and more energetic, didn't sleep at all. He leaned against the wall with a pillow and looked carefully at the huge bedroom, suddenly feeling a little scared.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the bedroom, but it was the former eunuch Wang An who came with a memorial.

"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."

Wang An was originally Zhu Youxiao's accompanying eunuch, but now that Zhu Youxiao is enthroned as emperor, he will naturally rise with the tide.
