imprinted you in my heart

"Your Majesty, wait for your compliance, thank Your Highness Long En" All the ministers who were named by Shi Min came out at the first time, but because she didn't pause for a long time, they all took the order to thank you on the spot.

After the matter of dispatching troops was settled, Shi Min asked the ministers to disperse and let them go back to the government office to continue their work. She also wanted to give them a vacation to calm down today's shock, but now the country is troubled by internal and external troubles, and time is not waiting for me, so why talk about rest?

After leaving Chengtian Palace, Shi Min issued an order to lift the blockade order in the palace, and went to Anren Palace, where his mother lived.

Empress Wenyu felt restless when she heard the news of Yang Zhihong's rebellion. She really wanted to go to the front to help her child, but when she thought that Shi Min had specially sent Lu Guanchu, the head of Changlu Palace, to tell her not to go out. .

And she also has a reputation for self-knowledge, she is afraid that this trip will not say how much help she can help, and if she is not good, she will add to the chaos if she fails to help, so she walked to the door several times and then came back.

"Reporting to the Central Palace, His Royal Highness is coming down, and he is almost outside the gate." The guard guarding the gate saw the Prince's honor guard approaching and rushed in to report.

Hearing that the eldest daughter had arrived, Wen Yu felt relieved and greeted her happily.

"Daughter pays respects to the empress, and the empress is blessed and healthy." Seeing the empress who came out, Shi Min quickly stepped forward to greet the empress with two steps.

When Wen Yu saw the intact eldest daughter, he knew that Yang Zhihong's rebellion had been quelled, and he felt very relieved, "I'm sorry, my son, it's hard work, let's go into the palace with my mother and talk about it in detail."

Shi Min, who was walked in by the mother's hand, couldn't bear it. Knowing that Shi Xuan had passed away, in front of so many ministers, if she, as a daughter, showed no signs of grief, she would be considered cold-blooded, A ruthless person is very unfavorable to her, that's why she cried so sadly.

But if her mother knew the news, she would be overwhelmed with pain, because Shi Xuan and Wen Yu were not in a political marriage, and they had a deep relationship. As a daughter, she saw it even more. .

He simply obeyed his mother's wishes and told her the general process of Yang Zhihong's rebellion and his own suppression of the rebellion. The sun that was already setting in the west finally disappeared, leaving only large swaths of red clouds shining on the entire capital and the palace.

"Yi'er handled it very properly. He has the style of the former emperor. He will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. He has already had dinner prepared for his mother. He will leave after using it." For Shi Min's ability to pacify Yang Zhihong so quickly Chaotic, Wen Yu was full of pride and praised repeatedly.

Seeing his mother so happy, Shi Min didn't know what to say, but if he didn't talk about his mother, the queen would know one day, "It's just according to mother, if you don't ask someone to invite grandma to have a meal together", the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, We simply talked together after dinner.

Grandma Huang is very old, and Shi Min was afraid that something might happen to her if she found out, so she strictly blocked any bad news such as rebellion from entering Yongshou Palace. In addition, Grandma Huang has been obsessed with teasing rabbits recently, so she probably knows more about it now than her mother. Even less.

After the ancestor, daughter-in-law, and grandson had dinner with He Lele, Shi Min finally found a more suitable time to briefly tell about the death of his mother and the rebellion of Sikong.

When Shi Xuan insisted on the imperial conquest in spite of dissuasion, Wen Yu was prepared for the possibility that she might be injured and die. Unexpectedly, it has become a reality now, and the blow to her is still undiminished, almost distraught .

On the other hand, the Empress Dowager Zhao Huan, who knew nothing on the surface, just swayed and sat on the seat, closed her eyes and meditated for a while, and then calmed down, "The country cannot live without a king, so I should ascend the throne as soon as possible to relieve grief and anger." For the sake of strength, send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."

"Grandma Huang's words are true. My grandson has named my teacher, Gu Yunchou, the Marshal of Zhengxi. Tomorrow, I will lead three thousand elite riders to Sanchuan. I have also mobilized a large army to counter the rebellion and defend Fandu. I will definitely welcome back the mother's body and rescue her. Xiaozhu, please rest assured, Grandma Huang and the Empress Dowager." Afraid that the Grandma Huang and the Empress Mother would think about it, Shi Min briefly talked about his arrangements.

Zhao Huan nodded slightly, "That's very good. Although the old man is old, if you need grandma's help, you can come to the old man. The old man's words are still useful. In addition, from the old man's point of view, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. The matter of enthronement Sooner rather than later, just choose the nearest auspicious day."

"Grandson would like to obey Grandma Huang's edict." Grandma Huang's meaning coincides with Shi Min's. If she does not ascend the throne, her reputation will be dishonorable.

When Shi Min returned to Changlu Palace, the sky was already full of stars. Even though he has been here for more than nine years and has seen the beautiful starry sky for more than nine years, he still can’t help feeling that the night sky here is so pure and beautiful. .

After nightfall, the entire complex is much cooler. After the ban was lifted, the complex has returned to its former bustle and prosperity, especially the night market in summer, which is even more lively and popular.

As soon as Shi Min entered the hall, before he had time to sit down, a palace attendant came to report to the left servant secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the right servant secretary of the official department and others to ask for an audience. After asking the palace servant, he found out that the right servant secretary of the official department had been here for a long time, and scolded displeasedly: "Preaching the decree of the orphan, all ministers who seek to see and conceal but do not report will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor, declare."

"My minister complies with the decree, please forgive me, Your Highness, I will never dare again." Although Lu Guanchu, who was accompanying the attendant, was not directly called by Shi Min's name, she was the one who made the servant postpone the report, because she He felt that it was more important for His Highness and the Empress to have dinner, but he didn't expect that His Highness would be displeased because of this, and he knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.

"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, the palace attendant trotted down to Xuanlibu Youshishu and others.

Seeing this Lu Guanchu who had been with him for so many years, Shi Min really wanted to beat her up, and he did so in the end, fined her twenty boards, and if he committed several crimes in the future, he would be punished concurrently.

"Duan Yunjie, Secretary of the Ministry of Ministers and Officials, respectfully invites Your Highness to be safe and healthy." Since Cheng Tiandian took the order to leave, Duan Yunjie has been sorting out the vacancies of Beijing officials and drawing up the list without stopping, until half an hour ago.

"Ma Jie, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, respectfully invites His Royal Highness to be safe and healthy." The ascension of the new emperor is a major national event, so after receiving the order, Ma Jie immediately discussed the date and process of enthronement with Zhu Da, the supervisor of Qintian Supervisor.

"Weichen Qintian Supervisor Zhu Da respectfully invites His Royal Highness to be well." Zhu Da and Ma Jie came for the same purpose.

Apart from Zhu Da's low grade, Ma Jie had already met Ma Tujin's father. He had a quick personality and didn't match his short and fat body. Duan Yunjie had a typical oval face, beautiful and calm personality. Although it has been in its forties, it is still unforgettable.

Zhu Da's face is old, but his eyes are piercing, like the finishing touch, adding a lot of vitality, "All gentlemen are free of courtesy"

"His Royal Highness, the first draft of the list of vacancies and recommendations for Beijing officials has been released, please read it Your Highness." Duan Yunjie presented the list in a neither humble nor haughty manner.

Fan Qiu, who was nearer to Shi Min, took the list and handed it to his master respectfully.

After Shi Min took it, he looked at it for a while and then closed it, "I know, Duan Aiqing has worked hard, let's go back and rest."

"The minister complies with the decree, the minister will leave." Duan Yunjie originally thought that His Highness would ask something, and prepared a lot of excuses, but he didn't expect to be able to leave so easily, and he naturally walked faster than anyone else.

Except for Changlu Palace, only Ma Jie and Zhu Da were left in the hall. They looked at each other, and after reaching a tacit understanding, they reported together: "The enthronement ceremony is a major event for the country, and an auspicious day must be chosen. Three days later, it will be a rare auspicious day. The application process has not yet been drawn up, please make a decision, Your Highness."

Shi Min took the flow sheet from Fan Qiu's hand and looked it over carefully. It would take a long time to go through the flow, "Is this the simplified enthronement ceremony according to the solitary purpose?".

"Your Highness, because this is a special period, the ministers have tried their best to streamline and delete most of the procedures. However, my dynasty has always held the succession and enthronement ceremonies at the same time. Usually, preparations are made in advance. This time it was so sudden that there was no Unprepared, reducing from three days to one day is the limit of ministers and others," Ma Jie reported according to the factual report.

When the Queen Mother came to the throne, she was absent-minded, because the grandmother passed away, which made her feel unbearable grief, and she just followed the process like a puppet. After hearing what Ma Jie said, she remembered that it really took a lot of money. Three days, "Three days is too long, change it to tomorrow, the process shall be based on this, and you can arrange it as soon as possible."

"I will obey the order, and I will leave." Ma Jie and Zhu Da also retreated after saluting. They had three days to prepare, but now there is only one night. It seems that they don't need to sleep.

After the ministers seeking an audience left, Shi Min did not rest, but let Lu Guanchu call all the people in charge of the six bureaus in the palace, and asked them to help prepare for tomorrow's follow-up according to the procedures and responsibilities of each bureau. Enthronement ceremony.

It must be too late to make the imperial robes now, so the Bureau of Shangfu asked the Queen Mother to change the grand ceremony imperial robes worn by the empress at the enthronement ceremony, and used ready-made ones as much as possible for the ceremonial guards.

Calculated in this way, her enthronement ceremony is really simple enough, and it is estimated that the sum of all expenses is less than one-fifth of her empress' enthronement cost.

It's time to rest, Shi Min thought, the eight hundred miles of urgent secret letters and memorials from various provinces have been piled up on her desk. In this extraordinary period, she doesn't know how to sleep peacefully.

Every time after reading a secret letter or memorial, Shi Min would write down the key points in his notepad after reviewing it with a Chinese ink brush. Except for the five provinces of Beisha and Yong'an where the capital is located under the control of Sikong, the remaining thirty provinces have already been written. Received memorials or secret letters from 21 provinces.

The remaining nine provinces are relatively remote border provinces, and it will take a few days before they can be delivered to Fandu. The memorials and secret letters that have been received are all expressions of loyalty, and the words are all treason to Sikong Collaboration is criticized and despised.

What's more, without saying a single dirty word, he scolded Sikong's bloody head, and even scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations. She belongs to the orthodox prince.

During the period of reviewing the memorials, Shi Min also met with teachers Xuanyuan Mo and Gu Yunchou, and also got two lists of official recommendation from them.

It's not that she doesn't trust the officials of the Ministry of Officials, but that there are so many vacancies in Beijing officials at once, which is a great opportunity to install people. Those who are interested will not let it go. The atmosphere is smoky, so it is very necessary to brainstorm and select talents.

After approving the memorial, she also received the last official recommendation list, which was prepared by Chen Jiyuan and sent by Xing Boen, and the last three lists were secretly drafted by Shi Min after he came out of Chengtian Palace.

According to the vacancy list and four recommendation lists of the Ministry of Officials, as well as the information he had received through Chen Jiyuan over the past three years, Xing Boen's and others' evaluations, and his own judgment, Shi Min finally drew up the appointment list overnight. ?
