Imperial City

During the Yongjia period, Emperor Ming was in a coma.The Yi people are invading from outside, and treacherous eunuchs are domineering inside.

In the tenth year of Yongjia, Wu Quan, the eunuch of Xichang, gained power.

Covering the sky with one hand, Southwest Wang Xiaozheng refused to flatter everyone.

All the words are in the emperor.

Soon, the emperor ordered the withdrawal of Fan, took Xiao Wang's military power, and ordered him to return to Beijing quickly.

Xiao Zheng's son, Xiao Kai, was at the age of a weak crown.

Said, there is no way above, it must be replaced.

The King of Southwest thought for a long time, and finally rebelled on the first day of September in the tenth year of Yongjia.

Everywhere along the road, the city gates were opened wide, and no general resisted.

The common people cheered along the street, as if welcoming the new emperor.

Emperor Ming knew that the general situation was over, so he sat down and waited for death.

On the eighth day of October in the tenth year of Yongjia, Xiaozheng, king of the Southwest, entered the Forbidden City, captured Emperor Ming, and beheaded Wu Quan.

He proclaimed himself emperor on the first day of the next month, with the year name Yuanchang.

. . .

The Forbidden City in the summer night is eerily silent, like stagnant water in the deep sea.

This quietness is different from ordinary folk, even if there is no sound, there will be one or two barks of dogs and three or four sounds of insects.

The Qianqing Palace is located in the middle of the harem. It is connected to the palace on the east, west, north and south sides. It is the emperor's residence, and the surrounding area is even more silent.

Even the only chirping cicadas on the tree that can make a sound have already been caught one by one.

The vast and magnificent palace is like a lion lying prone and sleeping at night.

The outer and inner floors of the palace were surrounded by imperial guards wearing purple brocade uniforms with swords at their waists. Day after day, year after year, they never changed.

Whether it's patrolling, changing shifts, or sending messages, everything is going on quietly.

So at this time, the painful groans faintly coming from the Nagato Hall in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace were particularly obvious in this night.

The guards outside the palace and the servants kneeling in the outer hall could not hear it, but the dozens of court ladies and eunuchs kneeling in the inner hall could hear the news clearly.

All the servants knew who was suffering on the dragon bed, but no one dared to speak out.

Although the young emperor has only been on the throne for three years, he has been in power for a long time.

He is also good at martial arts, at the age of weak crown, he was shrouded in horse leather with the late emperor, and personally earned this splendid country on the battlefield.

Six years ago, in October of the third year of Yuanchang.

The Yi people in the north harassed us towards the border, robbing money, killing the old and the weak, and taking women away.

The emperor had not ascended the throne at that time and was still the prince.

Vice-General Qin, the garrison guarding the north, and the warlord joined forces to sing the holy lord, please fight.

Expeditions in all dynasties were major events, and Kuang Yuanchang was not long after the establishment of the dynasty, and it was really time to recuperate.

The emperor was undecided, and the court disputed for three days, and the civil servants were cowardly.

It is said that the Yi people are good at riding and shooting, and they are born strong, so they may not be able to surrender.If you don't give food and cloth, you will be safe.

The military commander is reckless, if the way is not eliminated today, the enemy will grow stronger in the future, let alone do nothing.

What's more, I am in a dignified court, and the four directions come to congratulate me. How can I be afraid of a group of nomadic barbarians?

The emperor sits on the dragon chair, and the twelve crowns are swaying, like a sacred heart that is difficult to decide.

The Holy Majesty looked down at the prince who was waiting at His Highness, and asked, what does the prince think?

At that time, the sage, who was still the prince, bowed his head and bowed, took a slight step forward, and still bowed his head and said, "My son is willing to lead the army to fight personally, and win the lands and mountains of the Yi nationality for the father, and hope for the father's permission."

The emperor stared at the crown prince, as clean as pine and bamboo, as majestic as a mountain, and has begun to have a royal demeanor.

The emperor was pleased and said, yes.

The crown prince took the order, and ten days later he led an army of [-] to conquer the Yi people in the north, with Da Sima as the deputy commander, who assisted him from the side.

The Holy Majesty personally went to Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of Taiji Palace, to see him off. The military battle was long and rigorous, and the late Emperor watched him off for a long time.

At that time, the prince Xiao Kaiyan was only twenty and three years old.

Two years later, in November of the fifth year of Yuanchang.

After returning from a great victory, he not only conquered the Yi people in the north, but also conquered the Jurchens in the east, taking back all the mountains and rivers lost by the former Ming emperor.

News of the success spread to the Forbidden City frequently, and all civil servants and generals in the hall praised it.

On the day when the class teacher returned to court, the emperor greeted him again.The Emperor Shengjia took all the courtiers to three miles in front of Xuanwu Gate.

The streets were crowded with people, all cheering.

The [-] army only lost [-], and they took the prisoners with them and stopped [-] miles away from Jinling City.

The prince and Da Sima led [-] elite soldiers and good generals into the city.

From a distance, the army can be seen hovering on the ground like a black dragon descending from the earth, marching extremely fast.

The common people saw only the flags embroidered with gold in black fluttering, and the huge dark red Chu characters flaunted.

The soldiers were all wearing black armor and holding black shields. The footsteps approached suddenly, as if the earth was shaking.

Even though he had washed his face beforehand, the bloody and murderous air still came oncoming.

Everyone trembled, even though they knew it was their own army, they couldn't help being afraid.

The courtiers looked at this master of tigers and wolves, and felt that they were different from two years ago.

The black armor on the leader's body shone golden in the sunlight, like a general falling from the clouds.

Behind him, the black cloak fluttered in the wind, with the gun in his hand across his chest, like a rakshasa asking for his life from hell.

When you take a closer look, it turns out to be the prince!

The people cheered and flocked to worship.

The officials behind the prince waved their hands slightly, and from behind the prince, the soldiers suddenly separated to the two sides and raised their shields to block them.

Orders were issued layer by layer, silently and quickly.

Actions are flexible yet rigorous, clearly there are as many as [-] people but as neat as one person.

All the ministers were shocked!

The people respected him even more.

The prince sits on a high horse, and the momentum of marching troops and distributing accounts for two years is no longer gentle.

He acted calmly, his complexion was as deep as the deep sea, and he couldn't get a glimpse of it, his majesty actually concealed the majesty of the emperor!

The courtiers who were close to the left and right of the Holy Majesty had already been fighting with each other, and the cold sweat was streaming down thickly, but they were stiff and unable to move.

My heart was in a mess and I still didn't dare to watch the face of the Holy Spirit secretly.

The prince got off his horse when he reached twenty before the imperial court, and the emperor greeted him.

The prince was still kneeling and saluting in armor, and the emperor bent down to ask for it.

The monarch and his father and son went to the Xuanwu Gate.

The prince ordered the soldiers behind him to stop, and followed the emperor and his ministers into the Tai Chi Palace in the Forbidden City.

At the end, the courtiers watched the father and son silently, and saw that although the prince was one step behind the Holy Majesty, his majesty was even greater than that of the Holy Majesty.

He is more than seven feet tall, with broad and straight shoulders, like a military general, but he can compose poems at the age of six.

Like civil servants and scholars, but mighty and inviolable.

It is really the emperor of the real dragon, God bless me Dachu.

Everyone thought to themselves.

After two years of sending out troops from the Great Chu, they were able to defeat the Yi people and regain the old rivers and mountains. This is a great event for the whole country to celebrate.

The holy majesty was also very happy, and rewarded the governor and the chief minister, and those who deserved merit were also promoted to rank.

Prince Wei only got a few words about my son's virtuousness, which is very comforting to me.

All the ministers knew that the crown prince had won the Yi people this time, and the folks praised him endlessly, and rumors spread faintly that he was better than his father.

The Holy Majesty must have heard about it and became suspicious.

The prince's situation is not good.

For a while, someone secretly sighed, as long as it is related to the dragon seat, even if the father and son are blood relatives, there will inevitably be suspicions in their hearts.

Once the emperor became suspicious, no one could dispel his inner suspicion.

It has been several months since the prince returned to the Forbidden City, but he has never been allowed to go to court.

The Holy Majesty only said that the prince has worked hard, and I can't bear it, so I should take a good rest.

In May of the sixth year of Yuanchang, the emperor had a fever and was ill for a long time.

The prince was ordered to supervise the country, and after half a year, the prince returned to the court.

The officials kowtowed, although their faces were full of pain, as if they were worried about a serious illness.

However, everyone is happy with the prince's return.

On the ninth day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Yuanchang, the emperor died, and the whole country wrote white books and kept filial piety for three years.

The prince was very sad, and wept bitterly for three days and three nights in front of the coffin, without thinking about food or tea.

All the ministers advised, saying that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and hope that the prince will mourn.

On the fourth day, the eunuch Anxi, an imperial courtier, presented His Majesty's will in front of the mourning hall.

Blessed by heaven, the emperor ordered:

I heard that the emperor's destiny is not always the same, and I have seized the emperor's throne since the previous dynasty.

Although the name is not correct, he has worked hard for [-] years and is worthy of his heart.

I'm sick and incompetent now, and I'm afraid it won't be long.

The emperor's son is just like Wen Tao Wu Lue, pure in nature, respectful, thrifty, benevolent and filial.

Respect the clansmen of heaven and earth above, and love the people of the world below.

With the appearance of Yao and Shun, possessing the ability of sages and sages, worrying about the national economy, revitalizing the government, he is worthy of the great responsibility of the country.

I plan for the blessings of the common people in the world.

Established as the new emperor, Zhaoji Emperor Zhou, inheriting the sky and responding to people.

The whole world celebrates, amnesty the world, and enthrones.

The prince bowed his head and knelt down, sobbing that he couldn't help himself.

He muttered about his father, and all the officials sighed for his filial piety.

In January, the emperor's coffin was moved and buried in the imperial mausoleum, with the posthumous title of Yuanzhen.

Five days later, the prince ascended the throne.

Blessed by heaven, the emperor ordered:

The former emperor suddenly collapsed and returned to the five elements. I inherit the order of the emperor's family, Hongxiu, who is listed as a sage, and follows the last order of the emperor Daxing.

Civil and military officials at home and abroad, as well as senior soldiers and civilians, combined words to persuade them to advance. As for repeatedly refusing to accept it, I would like to tell the world only at this time, that is, the emperor.

Thinking deeply about the weight of entrustment, and sincerely working hard, but my nephew, the emperor of Daxing, has been lucky and prosperous, and his career has been in harmony.If you want to be invigorated and suitable for governance, you must change the past and reform the new.

Everything is based on the old chapters, and it is also respectful and inherited from the husband.Self-deprecating virtue, respecting relatives and virtuous people, and working together to plan a new governance.

The first year of Li Chengsheng.

Amnesty the world, and reform with the people.

The enthronement ceremony was cumbersome and complicated, and all the ministers saw the new emperor's demeanor calmly, respectful and respectful in everything, like a son of heaven, and they all surrendered.

After Emperor Chengsheng came to the throne, he eradicated corrupt officials and exempted him from corvee for three years.

For a time, the territory of Dachu was thriving, and the people all praised the new emperor for his kindness.

All the ministers knew that this man was different from the late emperor, he fought on the battlefield at the age of weak crown.

After two years of experience, if you say that you were a bit of a literati when you were a prince, but you look at it first and then look at it, it is like a sharp sword, beheading a person's head is not soft-hearted.

You can know a thing or two just by watching the corrupt officials who have stolen and beheaded all over the past few days.

For a while, the officials who had been slightly contemptuous or had some secret plans in the past dared not act rashly anymore. Emperor Chengsheng had only been on the throne for two or three months, and he had already sat firmly down from the dragon chair.

No one dared to disobey easily when Emperor Chengsheng ascended the throne, let alone today after he has been in power for three years.

If you could compare the Holy Master to a sword when you first ascended to the Great Pole three years ago, it is not as good as comparing it to Mount Tai now.

He has a lot of prestige, and he is so calm, no one can peep a little or two of the Sacred Heart from that calm face.

The emperor is twenty-eight years old, and it is the time when he is in his prime.

Although he never showed emotion, his quiet and dark eyes seemed to be able to see everything.

Everyone fears and respects him.
