At dawn, the crows of crows reached the Gohanagoden in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, waking up Emperor Koiko. The emperor turned over and found that there was a person lying next to him. It was Zhu Cijiong, Prince of Ning of the Ming Dynasty. He suddenly thought of something, his cheeks were red, his eyes were blurred, and his charm was fully displayed.
"Looking at it again after dawn, it turns out it's a bit more beautiful, but it's still not as beautiful as yesterday morning..."
Zhu Cijiong's voice suddenly reminded him that he had been awakened by the annoying crow a long time ago. The emperor raised his head and glanced at him, his face even redder. He was afraid that Zhu Cijiong would make any unreasonable demands again, so he quickly changed the subject: "It's getting late... The emperor, Guan Bai and Gongfang will all come soon." We are coming to Zichen Palace, so let’s get up quickly.”
Zhu Cijiong seemed to want to stay in bed for a while, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What are they here for?"
Xingzi blushed and said, "Of course we are discussing the wedding... We haven't completed the wedding yet!"
Not married yet? Zhu Cijiong looked at the emperor next to him who was wearing pajamas, with messy hair and a shy look, and thought about it carefully: it seems that the marriage has not been consummated, and the welcoming ceremony is still going on.
The steps of the wedding ceremony seem to be sending a dowry, welcoming the bride, bridal chamber flowers and candles, worshiping heaven and earth, sharing food and sleep together, and sleeping together... Well, it should be right, that's what the emperor seems to have said!
"That's right," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "Now that we have just arranged the wedding ceremony, we still need to pay homage to heaven and earth, share food and sleep together, and have sex together."
"Oh... Husband, is there really no mistake in the order of this wedding?" Emperor Xingzi seemed a little unsure. The order seemed to be different from what Lin Luoshan said...
"Make a mistake?" Zhu Cijiong thought seriously, "That's right, it's like this... Let's get up and finish the rest quickly so that we can leave Japan as soon as possible. There are still many things to do in the future. Do it!"
"Hai!" Emperor Xingzi saw that Zhu Cijiong was very sure, so he no longer cared about it. Instead, he responded and got up from the ground. He straightened his clothes first, and then called the female official to serve him and Zhu Cijiong washed and dressed.
...
When Emperor Koko and Zhu Cijiong had washed and dressed, had breakfast, and arrived at the Shichen Hall together, Tokugawa Iemitsu, Kujo Dobō, Itakura Shigemune, Hayashi Luoshan, Emperor Gomizuoin, and the representative of the Ming Dynasty in Japan Zheng Zongming has already arrived.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, Kujo Dobo, Itakura Shigemune, Zheng Zongming, and Lin Luoshan all had normal expressions, while the Grand Priest of Mizuoin had a gloomy expression. It was obvious that he already knew that Emperor Zhu Cijiong and Emperor Xingzi made a mistake in welcoming him personally. The order of the rituals...but he had a lot to say as a monk at home!
After all, Zhu Cijiong and Xingzi just got the order wrong and moved the wedding ceremony ahead of time, but the general direction was still right. And what does it mean that he is a monk who doesn't recite sutras properly and has children one after another with a group of nuns who haven't shaved their heads?
However, when the Supreme Patriarch of Houshuiweiyuan saw Xingzi and Zhu Cijiong looking so happy, he was still very angry, so he simply turned his head and stopped looking at them.
Zhu Cijiong and Xingzi still had to bow respectfully to the monk at home before they could sit down separately. Tokugawa Iemitsu, Kujo Dobo, Itakura Shigemune, Zheng Zongming, Lin Luoshan and other five people also saluted Cijiong and Xingzi respectively.
After a lot of red tape, Japanese Confucian Lin Luoshan spoke in Japanese that could only be spoken with a raised voice: "His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor, His Highness the Emperor, His Highness the Prince, what needs to be discussed today is the wedding of His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Prince. , as well as matters such as surrender after the wedding."
As soon as his words came out, the atmosphere in Zichen Palace became a little tense.
Although Emperor Xingzi had already agreed to abdicate after their marriage, if Xingzi went back on his word and fled with Zhu Cijiong with the three artifacts, both the shogunate and the emperor would be very embarrassed.
Moreover, Emperor Koiko now has the power to escape, and there are 500 Mingguo cavalry and 1,000 northern warriors in the imperial palace.
Although the shogunate had more than 10,000 troops in Kyoto, the crime of annihilating the northern samurai and killing the emperor was too great. Even if it succeeded, it would cause turmoil in Japan.
And there is also a Ming prince involved...
"I want to discuss the posthumous title with you today." As soon as Xingzi's words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Before the wedding is completed, we can issue an edict to the world."
Announcing a posthumous title is tantamount to announcing that you will abdicate!
"Your Majesty," Lin Luoshan said, "I suggest that we take one word from the posthumous names of the two empresses, Emperor Genmei and Emperor Gensho."
"Yao Xi," Xingzi nodded, "Is that...Emperor Yuanyuan?"
Yuan Yuan......
The emperor was almost amused by those present.
"No," Lin Luoshan said, "My suggestion is clear and correct."
"No!" Zhu Cijiong interjected, "The Ming Dynasty is also the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty! If Xingzi takes this as his posthumous title, what will my brother think?"
Lin Luoshan was stunned and felt that he had been negligent.
"Then let's call him Yuan Zheng?" Guan Bai Jiutiao Daofang made another suggestion.
"That's inappropriate," Zhu Cijiong still shook his head, "Isn't Yuan Zheng the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty?"
That’s right!
Neither can Yuan Zheng.
"Then it's just Yuan Yuan..." said the Supreme Patriarch of Housuiweiyuan, touching his round head.
Tokugawa Iemitsu glanced at the Grand Emperor. He knew that the Emperor was causing trouble for him and Xingzi, but he couldn't reprimand the Grand Emperor!
Moreover, according to the provisions of the "Prohibitions and Regulations on the Incorporation of Public Households", the power to issue posthumous titles belongs to the Imperial Family...
"Let's pick another one!" Zhu Cijiong spoke again.
The Supreme Patriarch looked angrily at his son-in-law who was not observing etiquette. However, Emperor Koiko said "Hai" in a very submissive tone, which immediately made the final decision.
I haven’t handed over the three major artifacts yet!
"Just take the word Xing from Xingzi's name," Zhu Cijiong said, "add the word Wu, and call him Emperor Xingwu."
"Emperor Komu?" Tokugawa Iemitsu felt something was wrong.
This posthumous title seems to belong to the more powerful emperors, such as Emperor Jimmu, Emperor Tenmu, and Emperor Kanmu. These three are all very powerful emperors, who hold great power and are inspiring and promising. Among them, Emperor Jimmu was the founding emperor, so of course he was powerful. Emperor Tenmu rose to power in rebellion and used force to force the death of Prince Otomo to seize power. Later, he established a system and pioneered the rule of law. He can be said to be a generation of British masters. Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo to conquer the Ezo people, opened up territory, and established the northeastern territory of Japan.
Now Xingzi also uses "武" as his nickname, and he also uses "Xingwu"...
"The title of Xingwu is too masculine and not suitable for an empress." Guan Baijiujiao Daofang spoke quickly. Although Iemitsu didn't say anything, he already knew Iemitsu's intention.
Zhu Cijiong smiled and said: "King Gu is the king of warriors. After returning to North Korea, he will go out to attack the slave thieves. Xingzi is Gu's wife. He should lead the northern warriors to kill the bandits together with Gu. Doesn't he still deserve the word "Martial Arts"? ?”
The Empress is coming...
At this moment, Tokugawa Iemitsu's color changed. As a general, he had never been in battle, but as a queen, Xingzi had to lead his troops in battle... Who is the pillar of the Wu family?
Emperor Xingzi smiled and said: "Your Highness Gongfang, as the Supreme Empress, I am here to serve as the emperor of Korea. Can't I use the character "武" as my posthumous title?"
"Since it is His Majesty's wish, of course it is possible!" Tokugawa Guangming knew that it was inappropriate, but he was not willing to cause trouble.
Because Emperor Xingzi and Zhu Cijiong will leave Japan after they get married...
Thinking of this, Iemitsu added: "Since the posthumous title has been decided, the dates for the wedding ceremony and the abdication ceremony should also be fixed, and let the world know about it together."
Xingzi smiled and said: "Okay, the wedding and the abdication should be as early as possible...Lin Luoshan, please choose two auspicious days."
Lin Luoshan said: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both auspicious days. Your Majesty can marry His Highness Prince Ning tomorrow and perform the abdication ceremony the day after tomorrow."
This Japanese great scholar is indeed proficient in Confucianism and has a very accurate grasp of Iemitsu's thoughts!
"Okay!" Xingzi said, "That's it..." She glanced at Zhu Cijiong, "Your Highness, tomorrow we will worship the heaven and the earth, eat together in prison, and die together!"
