Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Houcong was very confused. Logically speaking, the order in which he entered the Forbidden City as an emperor should be to enter from Zhengyang Gate, go straight all the way, pass Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, Meridian Gate, Fengtian Gate, and finally arrive at the most majestic building in the world. ——In Fengtian Temple.

But now he is asked to enter the Wenhua Palace through the side door according to the crown prince's ceremony.

To outsiders, the emperor and the prince may have no difference.Maybe some people think that it is good to be an emperor, so pick and choose what to do.But in fact, there are two completely different treatments.

Registered as the emperor, the name is justified, the master of the world.Registered as the prince, the throne is discussed by the queen mother and the ministers, and if he gets it, it is a reward from others.

Moreover, Zhu Houcong has always had an indescribable fear in his heart. The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy has never left Anlu, facing the treacherous situation in Beijing and many ministers alone.He couldn't help but think of a story Yuan Zonggao and Yuan Changshi told himself.

Emperor Zhao died in the Western Han Dynasty, and because he had no son, General Huo Guang recruited Liu He, the king of Changyi, into the court and made him the crown prince.After Liu He succeeded to the throne, he was abolished in just 27 days, and more than 1000 charges were listed after that.

How ridiculous, a young man, who was said to be gentle, courteous and frugal before, has committed more than 30 crimes in less than 1000 days after succeeding to the throne?And that Liu He passed away "due to illness" not long after being deposed. If he obeyed other people's arrangements and became the crown prince today, would he be the next Liu He tomorrow?

Thinking of this, Zhu Houcong couldn't help shivering, and glanced around, only to find that every official looked hideous, as if they were about to swallow him with huge greedy mouths.

He took two steps back, and suddenly a hand like cold jade pressed against his back, although that hand was slender but powerful.He only heard the female crown who was by his side say softly: "My lord, is there something wrong with you?" Looking up, he saw Li Chengfeng winking at him desperately, making his eyelids almost cramp.

... Do you think that the ministers around you are all blind? Zhu Houcong was speechless.But thanks to the other party, he can be regarded as freed from his thoughts.Coughing uncomfortably, he said in a hoarse voice: "I just arrived in the capital, and I feel a little unwell. I want to go to rest for a while. My lords know what you mean, so I will do as I said before."

Everyone is human, and it can be seen that the female Taoist priest has a special status in the eyes of the new emperor, and the matter has been settled anyway, so he followed his thoughts and bowed and retreated.

As soon as the ministers left, Li Chengfeng couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter? Why is the prince's face so ugly?"

Zhu Houcong told him about the seriousness of the matter, but Li Chengfeng was silent, he was an idiot, he didn't expect that there would be so many explanations for a small person who entered from which door.

Because of Yuan Zonggao's illness, the prince was almost assassinated, which made him very guilty.In the past few days, I went to the accompanying imperial doctor to ask for a few medicines, and planned to wait until the time of enthronement to help with advice and advice. At this time, after taking the medicine, I have already fallen into a deep sleep. Now Zhu Houcong is the only one who can talk beside Li Chengfeng.

After all, he had gone through so much together, and he didn't hide from the other party, showing his anxiety and worry completely.

Li Chengfeng smiled at him reassuringly, and asked first, "What does the prince think?"

"My king... I don't know," Zhu Houcong was also at a loss at this time, he was fledgling, did he really want to fight against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty alone now?

Li Chengfeng sighed, it was really difficult for him, so he said: "My lord, this throne is bestowed on you by heaven."

Zhu Houcong was awakened all of a sudden, right!What's so scary about him!His name as the emperor should be right and proper, according to the ancestral etiquette, he will come down on his own.It was clearly written in the imperial edict that Zhu Houcong should be the heir to the throne, but it didn't say that the crown prince should be the heir to the throne!

After clearing his mind, Zhu Houcong came to his senses. At this time, the servant Huang Jin came to report, and a group of officials and nobles outside wanted to see him and asked him to give instructions.

Frowning in disgust, after this time, Zhu Houcong became even more vigilant in front of the courtiers, looking at everything around him with suspicion, knowing in his heart that this group of people just wanted to sell in advance, so he directly said no angrily.

Huang Jin accepted the order with a face of embarrassment, but was stopped by Li Chengfeng before he could leave the door.Li Chengfeng thought to himself, it's no wonder that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was so disharmonious in the Jiajing Dynasty. It turns out that the root cause is here.

Facing the doubtful eyes of the little prince, Li Chengfeng thought for a long time before he said: "Why do you do this, as I said before, now that you are fledgling, it would be good to know more people."

"This king has just arrived in Liangxiang, and he can't wait to show his hospitality. Not only is his character not very good, he even has a bad brain. What do you know about such a bastard?" Zhu Houcong curled his lips in disdain. always online.

Seeing that the foolish boy refused to enter, Li Chengfeng simply amplified his tactics, even bluffing and scaring: "My lord's words are wrong. Thinking about what you are facing today, someone in the court must have bad intentions for you. Only Qian Ri will do it." Thieves, those who have thousands of days to guard against thieves? You must make preparations early. Meeting them today is just a signal to the outside world. Others will naturally gather here when they see that you are easy-going. .”

These words can be said to have scratched Zhu Houcong's itch. The suspicious and strong little prince thought it was very reasonable, so he immediately asked Huang Jin to bring him in

……

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jiang Bin listened indifferently to the interrogation officials in front of him. He had no strength in his body after being tortured. He didn't raise his eyelids until he heard someone salute and shouted "Old Yang Ge" in front of him.

Yang Tinghe looked at him quietly.After a while, he asked, "Master Jiang, are you still unwilling to speak?"

Jiang Bin shouted in a hoarse voice: "Old man Yang, are you confused? I, Jiang Bin, rely on the late Emperor to become what I am today. Without him, I am not even a fart. Is it possible that I have lost my mind and gone crazy? Take the initiative to assassinate ?”

Looking indifferently at this favored minister who called the wind and rain during the Zhengde period, Yang Tinghe said: "You encouraged the late emperor to go south again and again, and kept asking him to change his doctor after falling into the water. It turns out...you also know that it is because of the late emperor that you are here." today."

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth: "What exactly do you want to do? It's nothing more than a few groups of people. With your ability, Yang Shoufu, you still can't find out?"

Yang Tinghe didn't speak, the flickering candlelight in the cell stretched his figure long.Jiang Bin felt that no matter whether he was a prisoner or an extremely human minister, the other party always looked at him as if they were contemptuous of ants, and he was irritated.

"Hahahaha, in fact, what you hate the most is that I told the first emperor that you were trying to usurp the throne. He believed it!" Jiang Bin laughed maniacally: "The two fathers and sons you assisted are all dead. When the new emperor ascends the throne, no matter what To amnesty the world, when I, Jiang Bin, come out, guess what I will tell the new emperor!"

Shaking his head, he saw that the time was coming, Yang Tinghe didn't bother to talk to him, and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to continue to torture him before returning to the Forbidden City to welcome the new emperor.

As for Zhu Houcong's side, after patiently listening to a bunch of flattering words, he confirmed again, and sure enough, all the people who came to him at this time were idiots.However, adhering to the principle of "no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat", he still held his nose and chatted with these idiots for a while, and learned a lot of news from it.

It turned out that the process of entering the palace this time was all drafted by the three elders, Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, and Jiang Mian. As for the reason, it is still unknown.The three court elders are all highly respected people, and generally no one in the court objects to their proposals.

Zhu Houcong kept silent obviously, but in secret he was already crazy about thinking about what old officials and young masters are, what is coercing the emperor to make the princes.When Li Chengfeng looked at him again, this kid had already armed himself like a hedgehog, ready to lash out at anytime and anywhere.

Shaking his head amusingly, he said to the little hedgehog, "My lord, the courtiers are waiting outside, it's time to enter the palace."

Zhu Houcong responded, straightened his clothes, his movements revealed a bit of stiffness.Li Chengfeng simply looked into his eyes and forced him to calm down: "My lord, do you still remember what the concubine said before leaving?"

Zhu Houcong said without hesitation: "Mother concubine told this king 'Don't speak lightly'."

"That's right," Li Chengfeng said, "My lord, you have a heavy responsibility. If something happens, Yuan Changshi said, Huang Jin said, even if I say it, it's just a crime, and you are different."

Zhu Houcong nodded solemnly, and then followed the huge escort team to the imperial city.

When they arrived at Zhengyang Gate, Yang Tinghe led a group of ministers who had been waiting here for a long time. According to the previous agreement, Zhu Houcong was asked to rest in the side hall first, and then went east along the root of the imperial city to the Wenhua Hall where the prince was.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the new emperor, who was under 15 years old, began to play tricks when he arrived at Zhengyangmen.

He is not leaving.

Yang Tinghe frowned: "My lord, what do you mean?"

He has been an official for decades, and he has held a high position for a long time. Even though he looks like a thin scholar on the surface, his aura is immeasurable.Zhu Houcong also mustered up his courage and said: "You all did not act according to the imperial edict of Daxing Emperor, so this king can't go on."

Yang Tinghe didn't say anything, and the two sides insisted on it.On one side are the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and on the other side are the teenage country vassal princes. It seems that there is a great disparity in power, but Zhu Houcong, as the future emperor, is unwilling and unable to tie him into it.

Time passed bit by bit, under the coercion of the head of the court, Zhu Houcong couldn't help sweating on his forehead, but he still stubbornly refused to give in half a step.

Suddenly, Yang Tinghe chuckled, and said to Zhu Houcong: "My lord, since that's the case, can you talk to the old minister about what you want specifically."

Zhu Houcong knew that at this time he must not discuss privately with Yang Tinghe, otherwise it would be even more nondescript. The throne seemed to be picked up, but he didn't know how to refuse for a while. Fortunately, the female Taoist priest came out in time to make a rescue.

To be reasonable, even if Li Chengfeng faced this gray-haired old man, he would still feel guilty, but he still had to keep pretending.I saw that he first performed a standard etiquette, and then directly replied: "What Yang Ge said is wrong, now this is the road to Miyagi, what he said was public, what he said was public, what he said was private..."

Taking a deep look at the courtiers around him, Li Chengfeng paused and said: "The king is selfless!"

The ministers were speechless for a while, reflecting that this is also the new emperor in the future, if he makes trouble for himself again because of this matter, the gain will not be worth the loss, and many people began to retreat.

Just when the situation fell into a stalemate, a decree from the queen mother broke all this.Empress Dowager Zhang sent someone to say: "The throne cannot be emptied for a long time. Since the new emperor has arrived at the gate, we should arrange for him to ascend the throne as soon as possible." Now, as the supreme ruler in name of the country, her words are naturally useful, and it is not a big deal anyway, Yang Tinghe The courtier finally took a step back and agreed to the new emperor's request.

In this way, Zhu Houcong stepped into his own Forbidden City step by step according to his wish.

The author has something to say: The selflessness of the king was said by Song Chang in the Han Dynasty, and I will borrow it here.

It will be updated normally tomorrow, and I will enter V on Tuesday...
