Yue Zheng circulated the edict of sinners to everyone present. Afterwards, everyone's reaction was beyond Yue Zheng's expectations: no one expressed an opinion, and no one objected.
No one wanted to speak, and the hall fell into an eerie silence.
Zhu Qizhen was also surprised. It was understandable that the emperor's confidants did not speak, but his cronies Hu Hui, Wu Jin, Jin Ying, Xing'an, and his father's cronies Yu Qian all remained silent.
This is a bit too much. For such a big thing as the transfer of the imperial line, my close followers didn't even say a word, even if they could express their indignation on behalf of Jun's father.
Unfortunately, in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, the authority of the adult emperor was already heavy. Coupled with Zhu Qiyu's series of actions since he ascended the throne, he had already established huge prestige.
The most important thing is that all the troops in the Gyeonggi region follow the emperor.
Zhu Qizhen has not seen the emperor's personal army yet, but the ministers present have already seen it. Especially the pro-military internal guards commanded by Liu Chang, they really killed whoever the emperor asked them to kill. Everyone saw it with their own eyes when they killed civil servants at Fengtian Gate.
The ministers at this time were not as strong-minded as the civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty, so they naturally chose to watch more and talk less.
Since no one spoke, Yue Zheng pretended that everyone agreed, put away the guilty edict, sat down at the end, and also kept silent.
Next, Chen Xun once again explained the details of the process of entering Beijing and various etiquette.
In addition to asking the sinner to give in, the court did not treat Zhu Qizhen badly in other procedures and gave extremely high courtesy. Zhu Qizhen was quite satisfied with this.
However, after the abdication was held, there was a prisoner presentation ceremony immediately afterwards.
The so-called wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking at night in brocade clothes. Now that the imperial court had finally made him a prisoner, there must be a public sacrifice for the civil and military ministers and the people of the capital to see with their own eyes.
As for Boyan Timur and the 1,500-person envoy he led, they had to collect all their weapons and go to watch the ceremony together.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage, the ministers in the court are also good at playing, and they must let the people in Wala feel the humiliation of being a prisoner with their leader.
If Zhu Qiyu hadn't tried his best to dissuade him, these ministers would have been able to perform the sheep-raising ceremony.
From the Tumu Fort incident to the present, all civil and military officials have been frustrated.
Zhu Qiyu was afraid that the mentality of Boyan Timur and the envoys led by him would collapse, and if they did something irrational, they would be in big trouble.
After discussing the specific procedures for entering Beijing, everyone dispersed. Then Chen Xun wrote the agreed-upon process into a memorial and sent it to Beijing as a six-hundred-mile rush.
After the emperor discussed with the courtiers, formally approved the process of entering Beijing, and then gave a specific return date, everyone could escort the Supreme Emperor and set off from Datong.
So the next few days were just boring waiting.
Zhu Qizhen and the civil servants lived in the government office, but no officials from Datong Prefecture came to accompany the king and arrange general affairs.
It turned out that the prefect, tongzhi, tongpan and magistrates of Datong had all been sent to prison by Liu Zhongfu.
After cleaning the Xuanfu, Liu Zhongfu moved to Datong with Li Tang, Cao Tai, and Wang Wei and began a comprehensive purge of Datong.
Liu Zhongfu exercised the power granted by Zhu Qiyu to interrogate first and report later, and he could directly throw Datong officials into prison first.
Li Tang, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment; Cao Tai, the censor of the right capital and Shanxi patrol; Wang Wei, the right prime minister of Dali Temple; and specially authorized by Zhu Qiyu, represented the Ministry of Punishment, the Imperial Procuratorate, and Dali Temple respectively to conduct a joint trial of the three departments on the spot in Shanxi.
The results of the review will be reported directly to the court, and they will be officially effective after the emperor's approval.
In this way, there is no need to repeatedly ask the court for instructions, and the efficiency of operations will be extremely efficient.
In just over half a month, all officials of seventh grade and above in Datong Prefecture, including the prefect and tongzhi, entered.
In the end, Luo Hengxin, the governor of Datong, could only command the petty officials in the palace to manage the emperor's food and daily life.
In this way, it is inevitable that there will be some neglect. Zhu Qizhen and a group of civil servants could only make do with it. Fortunately, they would only stay for a few days before leaving.
Yu Qian, the former governor of Shanxi, had the most difficult time. All my old subordinates were sent in at once.
This is also the first time I have seen such an emperor. He is so determined to leave no one behind.
Without the magistrate and fellow magistrates, naturally no one would offer beauties to Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to use the beauties from the Western Regions presented by Chen Maojin when he was in Ganzhou to relieve his boredom.
Datong Mansion is peaceful and peaceful.
But in the afternoon, the palace of Prince Qi became extremely lively.
All areas within three miles of Prince Qi's residence are under martial law. Liu Chang mobilized three thousand inner guards and formed a complete circle along the outer palace wall of Yuquan Mountain.
In the duty room outside the east gate of Lingyu Palace, nobles such as Wuding Marquis Guo Chang and An Guo Gong Xu Heng, as well as Wang Wen, He Wenyuan, Huang Pu, He Yi and others were neither sitting nor standing, sitting there anxiously. Waiting for results.
The exciting moment has finally arrived. Seeing that the Supreme Emperor is about to enter Beijing, whether Princess Qi can successfully give birth to her legitimate son today will have a great impact on the future of the court.
Once a legitimate son is born, the emperor's position will be completely stable, and the emperor's cronies will be more confident and confident.
The most nervous one was Zhu Qiyu.
Princess Yongjia, Princess Wu, Mrs. Wu Dinghou, and Mrs. Xu Xian were in the inner room, watching the Wu Dinghou and his wife's respective wet nurses delivering the baby.
Zhu Qiyu was scurrying around like ants on a hot pot outside.
Zhu Qiyu didn't care too much about whether his first child could give birth to a legitimate son. At most, it will happen again in two years, since everyone is still young anyway.
The most important thing is that the mother and child must be safe, or the mother and daughter must be safe, and that is enough.
Being a father for the first time, Zhu Qiyu was both nervous and excited.
Zhu Qiyu looked around, but no one could talk to him. Concubine Wu was afraid of scaring the other concubines, so she asked them to stay far away in other rooms.
Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu has always paid attention to the physical and mental health of his beloved concubines, insisting that they should not give birth after the age of sixteen. At the same time, they should strengthen exercise, pay attention to diet and sleep, and maintain a happy mood.
These measures are still very effective.
In the evening, just when it was about to become completely dark, a baby's cry came from the inner room.
Zhu Qiyu hurried to the door and looked inside anxiously and nervously.
Knowing that her son was extremely anxious, Mrs. Wu hurriedly replied through the door curtain: "Mother and son are safe. My son, please put your heart back in your belly."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief. A big stone that had been weighing on his heart for two years finally fell to the ground.
After waiting patiently for half an hour, everything was packed inside. Zhu Qiyu entered the inner room to accompany his princess and eldest son.
Mrs. Wu Dinghou accompanied the eldest princess Yongjia to report the good news to the civil and military officials.
Unlike Zhu Qiyu's calm appearance, Wang Wen and others were excited when they heard the good news.
Because everyone has been worried for too long. Now the emperor finally has his eldest son. In the eyes of these close relatives, this is the absolutely undisputed heir to the throne.
In this way, everyone's allegiance to Zhu Qiyu's lineage can be passed on, and everyone's glory and wealth can also be continued.
The happiest people are none other than Princess Yongjia and Marquis Wuding. Didn't Zhu Qizhen clearly state in the edict that it was a shameless act for the eldest brother to ask for his title back from the second brother? He also said, "How can I bother to complain to others?"
You define the act of returning the title as "Candi", so I hope that you, the Supreme Emperor, will not return the title "CiCi" in the future.
