Capital, imperial palace.
Zhu Youxiao personally presided over the wedding ceremony of his younger brother Zhu Youjian as a coronation ceremony for the canonization of the prince.
Zhu Youjian also ushered in his most glorious moment.
After all, Zhu Youxiao had indeed achieved the ultimate in this spectacle.
In the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, he was probably the only vassal king who had such a pomp, with all the civil and military officials participating and congratulating him.
To the great surprise of all the civil and military officials, the vassal territory designated by His Majesty for his only younger brother was not the wealthy area in the south of the Yangtze River.
But it is Guangzhou, which is thousands of miles away and is a place of crying in their eyes. This really makes them confused.
Because His Majesty has always cared deeply for his younger brother, and they all saw this.
It's only in the past few months that the attitude has become a little colder. Before that, we were indeed brothers and sisters.
They couldn't allow them to think too much. The most critical moment in the entire ceremony had finally arrived.
"God has given orders to the emperor, and the emperor is destined to be carried by heaven. The imperial edict says: I look up to the lotus and the sky rests. Pi inherits the emperor's authority. I have many servants in my life. I wish to support and prosper. I will promote the founding of the country and carry out the ceremony of great enfeoffment."
"I am the only emperor among the five sons of the late Emperor Guangzong, Youjian. He is endowed with extraordinary talents and has a solid endowment."
"It is as tall as the golden branches, and the heroic wind is in the palm of the hand. It is better to be planted on thatched soil to have a family."
"I am here to confer you the title of King of Guang, and entrust you with a precious treasure. You should be honored and honored."
"It is advisable to fear the sky all day and night, and to be cautious and cultivate one's thoughts. Yongqin gives orders of the time, so that he can have the reputation of being famous. Thank you!"
After Wang Chaofu read out the royal edict with all his strength, all the civil and military officials knelt down at the reminder of the etiquette officer.
First, they paid homage to Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and then used a set of collective Mandarin to congratulate Zhu Youjian, who was named King Guang.
Then the whole ceremony came to an end, and the emperor gave a banquet in the palace.
Today's protagonist is naturally Zhu Youjian, who has just been promoted to King Guang.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not try to steal his limelight. After making some grand remarks at the banquet, he returned to Qianqing Palace alone.
Zhu Youjian also officially gained his freedom, so today he is more wild than usual.
Zhu Youxiao is no longer restricted to him, because in ten days, his younger brother will officially move to Guangzhou and join the feudal clan.
And some thoughtful people seized this rare opportunity and started to contact Zhu Youjian on the grounds of congratulations and toasts.
But he didn't dare to be too obvious. After all, this was a palace, not his own home, so he was still wary.
What they didn't know was that Zhu Youxiao's stance in advance was intentional.
Because Emperor Tianqi died very strangely in history, including his cheap dad Zhu Changluo.
It is quite obvious why Zhu Changluo died within a month.
Because he died in the political struggle between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.
The reason why he had the opportunity to take those red pills was because Fang Congzhe, the then chief minister of the cabinet and the leader of the three parties, arranged it.
At that time, the Donglin Party was gaining momentum and trampled the three parties under its feet and ravaged them wildly. If the chief ministers of the cabinet were not theirs, the three parties would have withdrawn early during the Wanli period.
This is also the reason why Emperor Wanli did not appoint officials in the later period.
He is not lazy, but helpless, because he has completely failed in the confrontation with the civil servants during the national war.
Especially in his later years, when Donglin Party members were everywhere, his actions were meaningless, and he didn't want to do anything anymore.
This is also the reason why Fang Congzhe has been impeached and denounced in various ways, but he can still firmly hold the position of chief minister.
The position of chief minister of the cabinet is so important. Fang Congzhe must sit in it. Once Fang Congzhe falls, it will be Dong Lin, the leader of the cabinet.
This is something that Emperor Wanli will never allow. The power in the court must be balanced.
The Emperor Taichang who succeeded to the throne had a very good relationship with the Donglin Party members, not to mention that the Donglin Party members were very kind to him.
The officials of the three parties know that their doom has come when the new emperor ascends the throne, so they can only fight to the death.
The reason why Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and died, according to Zhu Youxiao's guess and investigation, was most likely due to political struggle.
And it is still the Donglin Party and the Three Parties, but at this time the officials of the Three Parties are already living on their last legs and have taken refuge under Wei Zhongxian, and are called the eunuchs.
The current situation in the court, as well as his attitude and policies, are much more ruthless than the Emperor Tianqi in history.
He wanted to take a look, and at the same time he also wanted to confirm whether his guesses and feelings were wrong.
Therefore, he did not deal with government affairs in Qianqing Palace, but quietly waited for the news reports from the factory guards' spies.
Zhu Youxiao, who was in Qianqing Palace, waited for more than an hour, but did not get the news he wanted.
This made him doubt whether he was too suspicious?

………
In the Xuanfu territory, the Great Wall border, Dushikou Pass and Maying City, Governor Yang Jun, the commander of Dushi Military Affairs, has just issued a military order to inventory weapons and equipment.
Yang Jun is Yang Hong's son. He is only in his twenties this year. Because of his family and his father, he got to command the general affairs at a young age and guard the place alone.
It's a pity that in his heart, he was not grateful to the court and the emperor, but took it for granted.
Just an hour ago, his father's servant Qianhu came here and told him a shocking plan.
"Father, has he really decided?"
"Don't fall into the trap of those civil servants and let them take advantage of you."
"My Yang family has been serving as generals and soldiers in border towns since the Hongwu period. We have been able to stand for two hundred years, but we have never been involved in the political struggles of the civil servants of the imperial court."
Yang Jun couldn't understand why his father suddenly wanted to do such a thing.
It's not like they're in a desperate situation, it's just that they're thousands of miles apart. It's probably too late to persuade them now.
"Don't worry, sir. The general has already thought clearly. We can only give it a try."
"The general also said that this time is a matter of life and death. The young master must be prepared for everything, lest something unexpected happens and the opportunity is missed."
"Then Man Gui is not someone who is easy to fool. Tell your father to get rid of Man Gui, the troublesome guy."
"After all, he is the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town. If my troops want to be mobilized and leave the station, just having the transfer order and approval from the Ministry of War is not enough."
Yang Jun said worriedly.
Mangui is a Mongolian and has no friendship with his Yang family.
To be honest, he still has some personal grudges with Man Gui.
When he was still a senior general, he had been verbally insulted and ridiculed.
It's just that things in the world are unpredictable. He didn't expect that this Mongolian would now become his immediate boss and the chief military officer of the town, which made him feel really uncomfortable.
"My subordinates know, I will rush back and tell the general."
