Next, Chongzhen had no chance to return to the Huangji Palace. Together with a group of servants and followers around him, they were all invited to the Qianqing Palace. How to deal with it will be decided after the prince wakes up.
When the military ministers saw the tragic situation of the prince, they felt pity for him, but also knew that at this juncture, they could not go home to sleep and had to make ends meet in the military aircraft department.
Fortunately, the furnishings in the Military Aircraft Department's house are not much worse than those at home. Except for the fact that there are no wives or concubines to accompany him, everything else is the same as before, and the food provided by the food supervisor can be supplied at any time, which is a blessing.
Seeing the condition of his son-in-law, Xue Guoguan, as the father-in-law, naturally felt uncomfortable. He completely lost his appetite for food, so he just sat there anxious and angry.
If the emperor gave up his return to the south and took up residence in the northern capital, his position as chief minister might not be guaranteed.
If the prince is ill or even dies, it means that the titles of chief minister and father-in-law are gone.
After much deliberation, it was only in his own interests that the prince turned the corner and drove the emperor back to Nandu.
Even if the prince becomes disabled and becomes a cripple who walks with a limp, he will still be the prince, and his daughter will still be the princess.
All in all, we are determined not to let the emperor come back.
The prince is obviously a wise king. As for the emperor...
"Everyone, now that the situation is relatively clear, I won't beat around the bush. I am the chief assistant, and now I am the prince's father-in-law. If I say something fair, I will only be laughed at by you, so let me tell the truth. The prince is talented. He is extraordinary, has outstanding knowledge, can treat the people well, and is good at developing the economy. Internally, he has reorganized the mountains and rivers and provided relief to the victims of disasters. Externally, he has defeated and captured the chief Taiji, repeatedly defeating his edge. If the prince cannot take charge of the overall situation in the northern capital, I'm afraid that all the efforts made in the past will be wasted or even in vain. Based on what I have seen with my own eyes, I don't believe at all that the prince assassinated your majesty. I will first express my support for the prince."
Seeing that his colleagues were silent, Xue Guoguan could only speak first so as to see what other people's attitudes were on key issues.
"I support His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Guowei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to express his position. The prince had always trusted and valued him, and the huge amount of silver required by the Ministry of Industry had never been in arrears. These two points alone were enough.
"I also support His Highness the Crown Prince!"
According to their views and positions, both Du Yinxi and Zhang Guowei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, belonged to the prince's faction, because the prince's words, deeds and corresponding ideas were in line with their views.
"I also support His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Feng Quan made his third statement. Because this guy had flattered the emperor before, everyone else looked at him with contempt. Even Xue Guoguan looked down on him.
"I was just looking for a reason to go out and report the news!"
Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Feng Quan hurriedly explained to avoid misunderstanding. Anyway, the mouth was on his head, so any explanation would make sense.
"I also support His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Lu Zhenfei, the Secretary of the Medical Department, ignored Feng Quan and chose to support the prince. Although the Medical Department was not as good as the previous six departments, since its establishment, it has been based on saving lives and healing the wounded.
The prince used many methods to finally eliminate the epidemic in Jifu area. The hospital also treated a large number of wounded and civilians, which was a great meritorious deed. It would be ungrateful not to support the prince at this time.
After Lu Zhenfei finished speaking, Zhong Qian, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhen Shu, the minister of punishment, also expressed their positions one after another. Their own opinions and the effect of herd mentality naturally sided with the prince.
Although Wang Jiayan, the Minister of War, criticized the prince's various military tactics, he always regarded himself as loyal and good. As long as the prince could lead the king's army to win the battle, he would not ask for trouble.
Li Daiwen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, wanted to wait for an opportunity to pay off the tens of millions in arrears on the account. But then he thought, as long as the prince did not die and had the support of the army and merchants, he would not be able to pay off this debt even if he died. All we can do is follow the trend.
With Wu Zong, the second assistant, finishing the job, there will be no problems within the Military Aircraft Department. The power and role of the Military Aircraft Department are already equivalent to those of the previous cabinet.
As long as the military and aircraft ministers do not disagree on key issues, they can set the tone for some important and major issues.
The next morning, a certain prince met with military ministers in his bedroom. There was only one topic on the agenda, and that was to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!
I can't bear it any longer. If I don't survive, I'll have to be shot several times by the scapegoat...
"My beloved ministers must have been very aware of the performance of this palace since I took charge of the country. Not to mention the eight corners under the jurisdiction of the Southern Court, the situation in the various places directly under the jurisdiction of the Northern Court has improved compared to five years ago. Of course, far away from the world Peace, where the people can live and work in peace and contentment, is still a long way off. It requires the joint efforts of me, you and officials from all over the country to achieve it. However, as long as everyone works together and perseveres, we can overcome difficulties and make our dreams come true. Yesterday, my father, I The emperor was very dissatisfied with the palace's voluntary abandonment of Jinzhou, and intended to depose the palace as the prince. He also used the incident to depose the palace's mother. The palace believed that the matter had come to this and was irreversible. The position of the prince, if he is incompetent, Naturally, I don’t want to give up the position of Queen to others who are more powerful than me. Naturally, I don’t want to see other nobles get involved in it. However, my father is stubborn and I don’t want to threaten him with force to abdicate in favor of someone worthy, so I can only do it myself. I hope all my dear friends will not take offense at this!"
Regarding the matter between the beautiful biological mother and Mr. Wu, a certain prince simply explained it in one sentence.
If there is no conclusive evidence, there is no need to summarize it.
As long as the beautiful biological mother is still perfect when she marries the dumper, that's enough.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty did not have high-tech repair technology at that time, and it does not have it now!
The key is that if the blame dumper used Jinzhou and this incident to attack himself, then he would have made the wrong move.
If you take Jinzhou back by yourself, can this guy give up?
What about the cuckold thing?
Can a dumpster still turn into a Ninja Turtle?
Losing Jinzhou is just a matter of appearance, but cuckolding is a matter of concern!
If you have nothing to do, find yourself a hat to wear. Isn’t this humiliating yourself?
It's fine now. It won't be long before the whole city and even the people of the entire Ming Dynasty know about this...
"I support His Highness to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
We couldn't let that bastard Feng Quan take the lead this time. Xue Guoguan immediately expressed his position. As the chief minister and father-in-law, he would be a big fool if he didn't support this matter.
"I also support His Highness to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
Feng Quan immediately followed up, making sure he didn't miss a beat. Regardless of whether others supported him or not, he must hug this thick leg tightly.
"I also support His Highness to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor..."
After the two of them, other military ministers naturally spoke out in support of a certain prince. Everyone present did so, and no one abstained or objected.
"That's very good. Now that my leg injury has not healed, it is difficult to perform the relevant etiquette. I have to announce the news in the newspaper first, and then notify all officials to listen to the lecture in the East Palace courtyard. Other matters will be discussed after I recover. I will If the palace is proclaimed emperor, you will naturally be given prizes for your support."
Generally speaking, he first declared himself emperor, and then found time to formally ascend the throne. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even get on the kang now.
"I don't ask for the prize of support. I only ask that Your Highness can bring peace to all directions, eliminate the Eastern captives, regain the lost territory, and revive the Ming Dynasty!"
Regarding the scene, Xue Guoguan's words were no worse than Feng Quan's.
"Everyone who deserves a reward will be rewarded, and Taicang will not be asked to pay for it. I will pay for it myself, so Li Aiqing doesn't need to worry!"
A certain prince is not short of this little money. Even if he rewards hundreds of officials with a month's salary and soldiers with two taels of silver each, a certain prince can still afford the money.
When the new emperor takes the throne, it would be outrageous not to express it. At least he must seek good luck!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Before the prince ascended the throne, Li Shiwen unknowingly began to flatter him.
"I am physically inconvenient. All of you, dear friends, can put your brains together, consider the words and phrases, and work together to write an imperial edict. The prizes I will award to you can be considered as writing expenses."
Hire someone to write this stuff, yes, a certain prince can do this kind of thing.
When Meishan became Hongshan, the word "Hongshan" on the big stone at the foot of the mountain was written by Ni Yuanlu, who also paid for the retouching at that time.
"Your Majesty, how does this make..."
Xue Guoguan hurriedly declined. Since his daughter had changed from a princess to a queen, and he had been promoted from the prince's father-in-law to the father-in-law of the country, he would be embarrassed to accept money from his son-in-law.
"His Majesty! My dear friends, hurry up and write it down. After you finish it, show it to me and send it to the newspaper for printing!"
Regarding the matter of revenge, a certain prince never waited until fifteen. If you dare to do the first grade of junior high school, I dare to do the second grade of junior high school, unless I have diarrhea in the second grade of junior high school!
"yes!"
Xue Guoguan and others did not dare to shirk it any longer. Proclaiming oneself as emperor should be done sooner rather than later.
In this current situation, we must cook the raw rice into crispy rice as soon as possible!
What does it feel like to be emperor?
Judging from the experience of a certain prince, it should be... very painful!
However, a certain prince’s legs hurt, and a certain father’s heart ached and his face hurt!
The face was slapped hard!
The emperor naturally has much more power than the emperor, but the power of the queen is sometimes not as good as that of the empress dowager.
A certain prince wanted to prove with his actions that as a son, he could not only keep his mother's position, but also upgrade her to a higher level!
The beautiful biological mother is only thirty-three years old this year, so she looks a bit younger when she becomes the empress dowager.
But this is not without precedent. Many of the empress dowagers of the Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty were beautiful women.
Mother is more valuable than her son. This was definitely not an adjective in ancient times.
If a daughter can give birth to a son for her husband's family, she will be considered qualified.
If this son becomes a prince or even an emperor, then being a mother will be equivalent to reaching the pinnacle of life.
Do you want to destroy me and my mother?
Go ahead and dream!
Can't get off the tiger?
Why do I want to do it?
If you treat a tiger as a mount, you will never ride it again in this life!
I will proclaim myself emperor directly!
I'll slap him in the face!
I'm so willful!
I just rely on the large number of soldiers to make money in my hands!
An hour later, the news broke in the newspaper office.
Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, explosions began all over the city!
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The prince proclaims himself emperor!"
"What???"
Regardless of all walks of life, the first reaction of bosses and employees is the same.
“Give me one quickly!”
"Don't grab it!"
The fifty newspapers in the hands of the newsboy were all snatched up in just two or three minutes, but they all paid, and most people just stood there and read the front page.
After the promotion of simplified Chinese characters, the number of literate people has skyrocketed. In addition, the capital is known as a place where scholars and candidates gather. Even if you don't know how to read, it is perfectly fine to listen to others read newspapers.
"Didn't the Book of Heaven say that His Majesty in the previous life would be in this year..."
"Hush! This is a secret!"
"Oh! Yes!"
This is a secret that everyone knows, but they can't say it out loud.
On March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (April 25, 1644), Zhu Youjian was no longer the Ming emperor.
Today is March 24th, just five days later than in the previous life.
The prince has always been benevolent and righteous. This time the emperor will probably not hang himself on the crooked neck tree...
Both the Capital Daily and the Empire Daily plan to print 200,000 copies. Although they are special editions, they will not wait for opportunities to increase prices. They will make a lot of money from advertising fees alone.
With telephones, merchants would bring boxes of silver to the newspaper office to deliver money as long as they were informed in advance.
Being able to place an advertisement in the newspaper on the day the Crown Prince proclaims himself emperor is a God-given opportunity. No matter how much money you spend, it is still worthwhile.
The total advertising cost of the entire newspaper was close to 50,000 taels, but no businessman found it too expensive.
Because the newspaper of the day will be spread from the capital to various places, even the two major overseas territories in the north and south.
The company's brand and its products will naturally be widely advertised. As long as the words in the newspaper are still there, the advertising content can be spread repeatedly.
Today's newspapers have great commemorative significance. Whenever they meet a newsboy who still has a retail newspaper in his hand, ordinary people will buy another copy.
One for viewing, one for incense...
"By the way, the crown prince's reign name is 'Hao Jing'. Why do you explain this?"
"I am so stupid that I really don't know!"
"How about we find a typist?"
"Very good!"
So the two wealthy gentry found a guy who ran a street stall. In addition to fortune telling and fortune telling, this guy could also draw lots, acupuncture, massage, cupping...
"This...this is a secret!"
"Stop making excuses! Just say no if you don't!"
"Uh...I don't know how to do it, it's just..."
"Five taels of silver!"
"Twelve!"
"Fifteen taels!"
"this……"
"Are you a greedy old man?"
"It's not that I'm too young, it's just..."
"Don't be hesitant, just say what you have to say! Don't you want to earn these fifteen taels of silver?"
"All right!"
The guy setting up the stall quickly put the money into his arms, packed up his stall, and was ready to run away at any time.
"Both of you, the word 'Hao' is easy to explain, which means the sun is rising in the sky."
"Yeah! Not bad! What about the word 'Jing'? What's the meaning?"
"this……"
"I've collected the money, but you still don't know how to do it?"
"The word 'Jing' naturally has a literal meaning!"
"Is this very literal?"
"Just take it apart and read it!"
"Take it apart and read it? Wouldn't that be..."
"That's all for now, see you later!"
The guy setting up the stall took advantage of the two of them to ponder the meaning, and then ran away with a "swish" after saying that.
Explaining the Holy Will involves risking your head. These twenty taels of silver should be enough to spend a while.
If you stay any longer, you will be arrested by factory guards and given a "greeting" inside.
"Let's go! Go to a restaurant or teahouse and listen to what others have to say!"
"Very good! I just paid for the calligraphy test, and I will pay for a drink!"
Fifteen taels of silver can actually order a large table of dishes, enough for ten people.
But if you want to drink good wine, this money is just enough.
The news that a certain prince proclaimed himself emperor has invisibly stimulated consumption, mainly because people who don't know the truth want to find out the news in these places.
The emperor came, the prince got married, then Jinzhou was lost, and now the prince became emperor again. Isn't this too close?
Something is fishy, so hurry up and find a way to hear the news from all sides...
