Zhan Hui saw that it was Duke Liang Lan Yu who spoke, and he did not dare to show any sign of neglect. He bowed respectfully and then said: "Duke Liang has offended me. Your Majesty has his own plans in mind regarding the establishment of a heir. What will you and I do?" Ministers, you only need to stick to your duties and solve your Majesty's worries."
He said it very tactfully. A guy like Yang Jing, who is smart and good at figuring out his thoughts, should understand the meaning of his words at this moment.
It's just that Lan Yu is a warrior who came from the dead. All his talent points have been given to the war. There is no intrigue in the court. Seeing Zhan Hui say this, His brows immediately wrinkled.
This rough man has a unique set of rules for doing things. Although Lan Yu is the Duke of Liang, he is a big boss at heart. He immediately punched Zhan Hui, frowned and glared, saying: "What are you talking about with me?" You must be clear about your harsh words, but don’t try to deceive me. Yesterday, you guys came to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Could it be that you came here to drink? Please tell me what your Majesty thinks!"
Zhan Hui felt pain and frowned slightly. He felt a little helpless and had no choice but to reply: "As for your Majesty's thoughts, I, as a minister, don't dare to guess wildly. Naturally, whatever your Majesty says will be whatever it is."
"Old Zhan, why are you so verbose today? Just tell me whether the third master is the prince!"
Lan Yu's voice was loud and attracted the attention of many people. Zhan Hui's complexion changed slightly when he saw this. He felt like fire was burning his soles, and he wished he could put on a pair of wings and fly away.
He complained in his heart, could this kind of issue be discussed in public? Not to mention the all-encompassing Jin Yiwei who bites everywhere, even the colleagues around here are not easy to get along with. If I file a complaint with His Majesty...
Thinking of this, Zhan Hui immediately made up his mind, took a few steps back, and scolded with an angry look on his face: "Dong Liang, don't talk nonsense here. Your Majesty has made his own decision on this matter. As ministers, we only need to serve your Majesty." Just share the worries and solve the problems!”
When Lan Yu saw Zhan Hui like this, she felt angry. She thought that Zhan Hui dared to scold me in public. This made other people know how they looked at me, Lan Yu. It was really hateful.
He clenched his fists and stared at Zhan Hui fiercely, causing cold sweat to break out from Zhan Hui's head. Zhan Hui also had a headache for this unreasonable master, fearing that he would do something extraordinary during this meeting. move.
Zhan Hui knew in his heart that other people might still worry about the occasion, but Lan Yu would never be like that.
When Lan Yu returned from his expedition to the north and passed through Xifeng Pass, Lan Yu sent troops to destroy the city just because the city guarding officials failed to open the door in time. Break through the barrier and enter.
Seeing Lan Yu's fist clenched, Zhan Hui was so panicked that he didn't dare to look at Lan Yu anymore and left in a panic.
"Hmph! A cowardless person would dare to use a pen!"
Lan Yu spat and looked in the direction of Fengtian Temple, still feeling strange in his heart, but he had never been too lazy to think about this. When he had time to think about it, he might as well fight more battles and kill those thieves.
The time is approaching, and basically all the civil and military officials have arrived outside Fengtian Hall.
As the Ming Dynasty that ended the troubled times and reopened the Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers, there were many rules for court meetings.
According to the difference in status, civil and military officials lined up from Fengtian Hall to the steps outside the hall and the open space on both sides, which is Danqi.
As for the positions where officials stand, they are divided into east and west according to the size of their official positions.
Standing on the east side are the Shangguan of the Six Ministries, the Censor of the Thirteen Palms, the General Secretary, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Yingtian Mansion, Hanlin Academy, Chunfang, Guanglu Temple, Qintianjian, Shangbaosi, Taiyuan, Wujunjuanshi and Jingxian magistrate.
To the west are the commanders of the five armies, the commanders of the Jinyi Guards, the commanders of the palm seals of each guard, and the people in Shizhong and Zhongshushe.
Therefore, at every court meeting, there were a large number of civil and military officials. They could line up far away from the Fengtian Palace. Many officials stood too far away and could not actually see the emperor's face clearly. They just got up early to participate in politics in a daze.
As the Duke of Liang, Lan Yu had a distinguished status, so he naturally stood at the front of the military attachés, waiting south of the Jinshui Bridge. On the other side were the civil servants. Zhan Hui, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, naturally also stood at the front.
The two looked at each other and stopped entangled. Even Lan Yu maintained some restraint when facing the court meeting.
As the bells and drums played, Zhu Yuanzhang, the protagonist of this court meeting, also appeared on the stage. As an emperor, the pomp was naturally different and noble.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this kind of red tape has no other use than trouble.
He then thought about it. In his previous life, he traveled with greater ostentation, and even the dragon could only clear the way for him. He suddenly understood that the emperor of this world should also enjoy this honor.
As he sat down on the throne, there was a distant sound of "One hundred civil and military officials entered the class", and all the officials entered from the royal road.
In the Fengtian Hall, a small group of people at the top of the Ming Dynasty stood still. When the ritual music sounded, the officials of the cultural relics bowed three times and kowtowed, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Get up."
It was still three simple words, but it still worked as usual. After hearing the words, the ministers stood up, lowered their heads slightly, and did not dare to look directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the point and said: "Zhan Hui, declare the decree."
At this moment, Zhu Di, who was standing next to the throne, was trembling slightly.
His heart beat like thunder, as if it was about to jump out of his throat, and he felt great pressure.
Standing next to the throne, the ministers bowed their heads and looked at each other very clearly. He saw many old friends, some of whom were close to each other, and some of whom were not close to him. But no matter what the relationship was, when they saw him standing there, their eyes were full of joy. Surprised.
In the past, the position was occupied by Prince Zhu Biao, and the others did not have this identity or courage at all. Now that King Yan Zhu Di was standing there, the officials were not fools, and they acted as if they had realized something.
"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says..."
Zhan Hui unfolded the imperial edict and stood in front of the emperor. His voice was loud and clear, at least in Fengtian Hall.
The ministers knelt on the ground with respectful postures and listened quietly.
"...My prince Zhu Di is wise and mighty..."
"...Now Zhu Di is canonized as the crown prince to consolidate the foundation of the country..."
"...Starting from today, all government affairs will be handled by the Crown Prince first..."
"...The cloth is in the sea, and the salty messengers heard about it..."
As the edict was read out, Zhu Di lifted his robes, knelt down excitedly and said, "I accept the edict!"
All civil and military officials also sang at the same time: "I obey the decree, long live my emperor."
"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Di's face glowed red and he said: "Everyone, please stand up!"
The imperial edict was issued and all officials obeyed. Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly feel that a full 20% of the national destiny in his body was absorbed into Zhu Di's body.
There was a slight smile on his face, and the national transfer was 20%. This was a big success. Now his body was loosened a lot, and he no longer felt that stagnant feeling.
Now, only about 70% of the country's destiny is left in his body. If all the etiquette of crowning a prince are completed, the country's destiny will be transferred to even more.
However, the canonization ceremony cannot be completed overnight. It is not like reading out an imperial edict. You can decide today and read it out tomorrow. This will take a lot of time.
Fortunately, the preliminary plan has been successful. There must be some dissatisfied people among the civil and military officials. However, in this situation, if you want to object, you can only do it secretly.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: "The ceremony must not be abandoned. Everything must be done according to the highest standards. Zhan Hui, you will handle this matter together with the Sixth Department and other departments."
Zhan Hui took a deep breath. He once again felt the favor of the Holy Spirit. He immediately knelt down to receive the order and said, "I obey the order."
