News of the emperor's death soon spread throughout the world.
For a time, white silk ribbons were hung all over the Ming Dynasty to bid farewell to the Apocalypse Emperor.
Although Zhu Youxiao is not a wise king, he is not a faint king or a tyrant.
At least in the past few years, most of the things the court provided to help the people during the disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were implemented.
Therefore, most people were quite sorry for Zhu Youxiao's death. At the same time, they were also a little scared, worried that the future emperor would disrupt their peaceful life after they ascended the throne.
However, due to many purges, there are now spies from Jinyiwei all over the Ming Dynasty to control the world, and spies from Tianzun and Tianzong are also monitoring the rivers and lakes, so there has been no turmoil.
Of course, some minor disturbances are definitely inevitable.
…
Imperial Palace, Erluan Palace.
This is the bedroom of Zhu Youxiao's adoptive mother, the former Li Xuanshi, and now Concubine Kang.
After colluding with Wei Zhongxian in an attempt to initiate unrest failed, Concubine Kang was placed under house arrest in the Yaluan Palace. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, her life was not necessarily easy as she was placed under house arrest in this deep palace.
The entire Erluan Palace seemed very cold, except for a few serving maids, there were not even any guards on duty.
But at this moment, a Jinyi guard on duty quietly came to the Erluan Palace and met Concubine Kang, who had caused a lot of turmoil in the palace.
"Empress, His Majesty has passed away. Lord Wang asked me to take you out of the palace and take over the power!" The Jin Yiwei said excitedly.
Concubine Kang didn't look very young, and she still had charm. Plus, she was wearing palace clothes, which gave her a different kind of temptation.
But at this time, her face was also full of excitement and she said: "Master Wang, are they ready?"
"It was prepared as early as half a month ago, and we also have people in the cabinet. The empress is your majesty's adoptive mother. As long as the empress comes forward, Mr. Wang and the others will join forces with other officials to force the palace to make the queen abdicate, and the empress will listen to the politics behind the curtain. , take charge of the power!" Jin Yiwei said.
Hearing this, Concubine Kang was so excited that her whole body trembled, as if she had reached another climax, but then, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said: "But I heard that now both the imperial court and the central government are the Naxi Changchang Gong. People from Yuhuatian, just in case..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jin Yiwei: "Don't worry, Madam. Although Yuhuatian is rampant, he is an eunuch and cannot take power in the court. Moreover, Madam is His Majesty's adoptive mother. If he dares to attack Madam, he will be killed." If he is unfaithful and unfilial, he dare not risk the disapproval of the world."
"The ministers in the court have long been dissatisfied with him. Now many officials have supported the empress to take power. As long as the empress goes out, those ministers will definitely stand on our side in order to suppress the power of the eunuchs. When the dust settles, he There is nothing Yuhuatian can do!”
Concubine Kang nodded slightly, completely dispelling her worries, and nodded: "Okay, I will go out with you."
The guard in Jinyi hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine Kang and said, "Please forgive me and put on the clothes of a palace maid first, otherwise you won't be able to get out. Now the harem is full of people from Yuhuatian."
Kang Fei nodded and then prepared to change clothes.
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind the door: "There's no need to change, you can die decently in this outfit."
"who?!"
Concubine Kang and the Jin Yiwei were both shocked and quickly looked back.
But at this sight, the Jin Yiwei's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled with fear: "Eunuch Cao, Eunuch Tan..."
Tan Luzi glanced at the Jin Yiwei coldly: "I am still wondering how this woman got the news. It turns out that she is a monk and a thief!"
"Deputy Governor, spare your life..." the Jin Yiwei said in horror.
"Go to hell and beg for mercy!"
Tan Luzi said, drew his sword directly, and pierced his heart with one sword.
The Jin Yiwei fell down with regret on his face.
Tan Luzi pulled out his sword, and blood spurted out.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Kang's face turned pale with fright. She took two steps back, stared at Tan Luzi closely, and said, "I am His Majesty's adoptive mother. You...what do you want to do?!"
Tan Luzi glanced at the woman with disdain and sneered: "If you were not the emperor's adoptive mother, you would have died ten years ago. The emperor mercifully gave you a chance to live, but you didn't want to live well. In that case, then Just die!"
"You...you dare to kill me?!" Concubine Kang was horrified.
Cao Zhengchun sighed and said, "Empress, Your Majesty has already passed away. It's time for you to get on your way."
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun struck out with a palm, hitting Concubine Kang in the chest. Concubine Kang's eyes widened, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she fell down with disbelief on her face.
She didn't expect that these two eunuchs would actually dare to kill her...
Tan Luzi glanced at Concubine Kang's body, then looked at the Jin Yiwei on the ground, withdrew his gaze, and said coldly: "It's hard to guard against thieves during the day and at night! It seems that the inside of Jin Yiwei has not been cleaned up!"
Cao Zhengchun nodded and said: "This should be the last time. Get rid of the relevant people directly."
After that, the two left the Erluan Palace.
Soon, news came out in the palace that Concubine Kang had an affair with a Jin Yiwei and was found to have committed suicide. The Jin Yiwei was also executed.
Subsequently, another purge was carried out within Jinyiwei, involving nearly a hundred people.
Immediately afterwards, evidence of corruption among more than a dozen ministers was revealed in the DPRK. Some of them were even involved in treason. They were arrested and sent to prison, where they signed and signed to plead guilty.
A storm related to the palace change was suppressed before it even started.
…
In the eighth year of the apocalypse, on the third day of the first lunar month, it was sunny.
On this day, both inside and outside the imperial city were heavily guarded.
In the palace, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has already been prepared.
Because the prince ascended the throne, he also needed to offer sacrifices to heaven.
In the Altar Square, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together. Tens of thousands of forbidden troops and guards guarded all directions. The gongs and drums were noisy, solemn and solemn.
Not long after, the dragon chariot came slowly from the distance. Su Huirong took Prince Zhu Ciyu and stepped off the dragon chariot together.
"Woooooooo..."
As the melodious horn sounded, Yu Huatian, wearing a python robe, strode forward, took the confused Zhu Ciyu from Su Huirong's hand, and said:
"Let's go, Your Highness, I will take you to take over the entire Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Ciyu nodded as if he understood, and glanced at Su Huirong next to him. Seeing Su Huirong's encouraging eyes, he mustered up the courage to follow Yuhuatian towards the altar.
Seeing Yuhuatian pulling Zhu Ciyu onto the altar, all the officials had complicated expressions.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no eunuch has ever been allowed to bring a new emperor to the throne to worship heaven.
But this time, it was a first.
What an honor it is to ascend the throne with the new emperor offering sacrifices to heaven?
Enough to go down in history.
But at this moment in Ming Dynasty, no one is more suitable than Yuhuatian.
Regardless of power or status, he is already the number one person in the Ming Dynasty. Even the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne will not be able to escape his control in the future...
The altar is ninety-five feet high, symbolizing the ninety-five-foot-high figure.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Yu Huatian held Zhu Ciyu's hand and walked step by step to the top of the altar.
Just halfway through, Zhu Ciyu became a little scared when he looked at the dense crowd below. He subconsciously moved closer to Yuhuatian, and his legs were even too weak to walk.
Seeing this, Yuhuatian didn't say anything. He calmly picked up Zhu Ciyu and continued walking up.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the civil and military officials below suddenly became more complicated.
Being so close to the new emperor made many people's eyes red with jealousy, but whenever they thought of those officials who wanted to change the situation a few days ago but disappeared without a trace, they could only suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
On the other side of the square, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu and others from the West Factory had strong expressions of pride and pride on their faces.
One person is inferior to ten thousand people. This is the highest honor for a minister.
But now, their overlord has come true!
Even Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing's eyes showed excitement and pride.
Yuhuatian is their master. The master is so powerful. They must practice well and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty in the future without embarrassing the master.
Next to the two of them, Ah Fei, the 'Flying Swordsman', was wearing a black brocade suit and still holding the iron sword in his hand. He looked at the figure who was about to reach the top of the altar, with a hint of yearning and perseverance in his eyes. Color, subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.
One day, he will become famous, more famous than anyone else!
He wants the person who abandoned him and his mother to know that A Fei will still live well without him, and will be more famous than him!
He wants to defend his mother!
…
Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Huatian carried Zhu Ciyu to the altar and nodded towards the minister of etiquette who was holding the sacrificial ceremony next to him.
The latter understood immediately and quickly started the sacrificial ceremony.
"The heaven-sacrifice ceremony has officially begun!"
"Kneel down to the sky!"
Yuhuatian took Zhu Ciyu to pray to the sky. After three bows, he stood up gently.
"Two knees!"
The two of them paid homage again, and after praying three times, they stood up again.
This sky and this earth are all natural things, and the rules of heaven and earth are the rules. We need to kneel down and pray for the protection of heaven and earth, good weather and good weather in the Ming Dynasty, and peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
Although Yuhuatian doesn't believe this, he respects the etiquette of this world.
"Kneel down three times to the great Ming Dynasty!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted again.
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Yu Huatian stood up with Zhu Ciyu, looking around with a calm expression.
Everyone in sight lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at him.
Although he was not the one who ascended the throne, at this moment, Yu Huatian felt a majestic aura that looked down upon the common people.
Just over three years have passed, from a small factory owner in Xichang to controlling the entire Ming Dynasty, under one person and above ten thousand people.
He did it!
Moreover, from today on, he is the uncrowned king of the Ming Dynasty!
And this king is not a prince or a county king, but a king of kings!
…
Taking a deep breath, Yu Huatian lowered his head and whispered to Zhu Ciyu beside him: "Your Highness, go ahead and say what I taught you before."
Zhu Ciyu nodded lightly, mustered up his courage, walked to the middle of the altar, and shouted crisply: "From today on, I will succeed to the throne, and I will be named 'Qian Sheng'. I have been ordered by heaven to live a long and prosperous life."
"From now on, it is the first year of Qian Sheng."
Qiansheng, Xingfu, Xianjia, Chongzhen, these are the four reign names discussed by Zhang Juzheng and others.
After asking for instructions from Yu Hua Tian, the name of the year was named Gansheng, which comes from the meaning of Tiansheng. Gan represents heaven and Sheng represents saints.
With Yuhuatian's help, he will definitely make Zhu Ciyu the co-owner of China, the co-respect of the world, and a true saint of heaven!
"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
Led by Yu Huatian, deafening shouts resounded throughout the palace and inside, and the sound reached into the sky.
The new emperor of Ming Dynasty ascended the throne.
A new era has arrived!
