After the death of Empress Dowager Sun, his son Zhu Qizhen was gently brought back to the original palace by two strong eunuchs before he could cry a few times.
From beginning to end, Zhu Qizhen didn't say a word to his eldest son.
And Zhu Jianshen didn't say a word to his father.
After Zhu Qizhen left, Princess Changde, Queen Mother Qian, Queen Mother Zhou and others returned to the palace. Then there were bursts of crying, and Mrs. Gaoming, who had been notified in advance, also entered the palace.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen also left the palace of Empress Dowager Sun and took Zhang Bao back to the Qianqing Palace. He immediately issued a decree and asked the Ministry of Rites to draft the envoys for the garden, mausoleum, etiquette envoys, guard of honor envoys, seal envoys, and bridge road envoys. He was responsible for selecting the envoys, writing mourning documents, posthumous documents, discussing posthumous titles and other matters.
After the decree was conveyed to the Ministry of Rites, they immediately recommended candidates.
The envoy of the Garden Mausoleum is served by the Marquis of Huichang, and the deputy envoys are Xu Youzhen and Zhan Yang. The envoys of etiquette, guard of honor, Lu book envoys, and Qiao Daodun envoys are all served by Lang Zhongguan from the Ministry of Rites.
After the eulogy, testament, and posthumous title were all drawn up, Xu Youzhen, who had been waiting for a long time after returning from Yu Qian's home, personally sent them to the palace.
Of course, this is also an excuse for Xu Youzhen to face the saint.
Xu Youzhen appeared in front of Zhu Jianshen naturally.
When Zhu Jianshen saw Xu Youzhen, he was a little surprised. Although he summoned Xu Youzhen to Beijing, he didn't expect Xu Youzhen to come back so soon.
"I hope your majesty will express your condolences and take care of the dragon's body."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Youzhen who was sweating and felt a little relieved. He nodded and said, "Thanks to Xu Du for the hard work."
"Your Majesty, this is a booklet prepared by the Ministry of Rites. Please take a look at it." Xu Youzhen said, raising the jade plate in her hand high.
Zhang Bao instructed, went down the jade steps, took the jade plate, and placed it in front of Zhu Jianshen.
There are three books on it, one is the eulogy prepared by the Ministry of Rites, the legacy of the Empress Dowager, and the posthumous title given to the Empress Dowager by the Ministry of Rites.
As the Minister of Rites, Xu Youzhen had the normal business of the Ministry at hand. While Zhu Jianshen was looking at it, Xu Youzhen explained it some more.
Elegies are some regulations issued by the imperial court to prohibit rituals and music for celebrations.
The testament was issued to the emperor and his ministers. The content of the testament mainly encouraged the emperor to serve the country diligently, and stipulated that the emperor and all officials should obey discipline and grieve. This was also the last exhortation and instruction for political affairs by the Empress Dowager Sun. Of course, the Empress Dowager Sun The illness comes quickly, and this can only be done by officials from the Ministry of Rites.
After Zhu Jianshen looked at the posthumous title prepared by the Ministry of Rites for Empress Dowager Sun, he sighed and said: "Empress Hu died without a son. It is really pitiful. The Queen Mother was given a thirteen-character posthumous title. The Ministry of Rites should ask for it to be given to Empress Hu." He was also given a posthumous title."
After Xu Youzhen listened to Zhu Jianshen's words, she immediately understood.
Empress Hu was the empress of Emperor Xuanzong. She was deposed because she had no children. Although she had been cared for by Empress Dowager Zhang, her life in her later years was not satisfactory. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor proposed to give Empress Hu a posthumous title. To put it bluntly, This is for Queen Qian, who is also childless, to see.
"Queen Hu was not guilty and was deposed as an immortal master. It is useless. People are afraid of the Queen Mother and her burial is not as good as the ceremony." This is what Empress Qian said to Zhu Qizhen after the restoration in history after the death of Empress Dowager Sun. It can be seen that there is deep fear in her heart.
Now that Zhu Qizhen has returned to the capital, he must do something to make Queen Qian feel at ease and not get involved in any messy things.
"As your Majesty wishes..." Xu Youzhen said softly.
"With the addition of nine characters, I respectfully allow Queen Chengshun Kang, Mu Jing, and Cizhang to not be attached to the Ancestral Temple, but to be enshrined in the Fengci Hall in the palace."
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to be given the posthumous title of emperor?"
Zhu Jianshen nodded.
After Xu Youzhen saw it, she didn't dare to refute anymore. She just nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take care of this matter after I go down."
There are two types of posthumous titles for the queen, one is the emperor's posthumous title, and the other is an independent posthumous title.
The posthumous title of Jiadi is the most noble posthumous title, that is, adding the title of God to the posthumous title. Zhu Zhanji’s posthumous title is Emperor Xiantian Chongdao Yingmingsheng Qinwen Zhaowu Kuanren Chunxiaozhang. The so-called emperor titles are the last three The name is Emperor Zhang, so Zhu Zhanji's posthumous title is Emperor Zhang of the Ming Dynasty, and the last three characters of the posthumous title of the Empress Dowager Sun are Queen Zhang, which is the posthumous title of Emperor Jiadi. The nine-character posthumous title mentioned by Zhu Jianshen is also Queen Zhang.
After saying these things, Xu Youzhen, who should have said goodbye and left, was reluctant to leave.
Zhu Jianshen looked at his expression and felt very clear in his heart. biquge.biz
"Whatever the censor of Xudu has to say, let's just say it. You and I, the monarch and my ministers, have known each other for so many years. There is no need to hide it."
Zhu Jianshen will be sixteen soon. He met Xu Youzhen when he was two years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has known her for many years.
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Xu Youzhen calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever met the Supreme Emperor?"
Zhu Jianshen nodded: "I see."
"What did you say?"
After listening, Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment. Is it so direct? However, Zhu Jianshen was not angry, but said calmly: "I saw Grandma Huang before her bedside and didn't say a word."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Xu Youzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how your Majesty is thinking of settling the Supreme Emperor." Xu Youzhen asked softly.
"According to Xu Du Yushi's idea, what should I do?"
"After the Empress Dowager's affairs are finished, I still have to go south for a while. Why don't I let the Emperor go south together with me? Shanghai County is surrounded by mountains and sea, and the scenery is excellent. Chongming Island is far away from the sea, sparsely populated, and the scenery is also beautiful. Yes, I thought that the Supreme Emperor should need some rest after returning from Mongolia. I am willing to personally send the Supreme Emperor to Shanghai County, or board a ship to Chongming Island to relax and recuperate."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This matter will be handled by me. It will be absolutely foolproof."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he smiled bitterly: "I know my love for you, but I also promised the Empress Dowager to let my father stay in the capital and live in Nangong. If the matter of Ai Qing Yingtian Mansion is over, After that, you can also go to Nangong to visit. Come to think of it, the Supreme Emperor also misses you very much during our appointment in the North."
"Your Majesty, you must think clearly. If the Emperor stays in the capital, he will eventually..."
"What is it after all?"
"Your Majesty has just taken charge of the government, and the New Deal has just been put on the right track. Everyone in the government and the public has surrendered. This is the time when Your Majesty is working hard to govern and display his grand ambitions. If you leave the Supreme Emperor in the capital, I am afraid some people will have evil thoughts. That will be me. The disaster of the Ming Dynasty." Xu Youzhen said it very straightforwardly. Of course, it would be impossible if he didn't speak frankly. His fortune and life were all staked a few years ago.
Such straightforward words made Zhu Jianshen feel warm and caring in his heart.
"I know, I know everything, but it is not good for the Emperor to be away for a long time. I am not afraid. You will return to the capital soon. With Xu Aiqing here, those who have evil thoughts dare not act rashly." Zhu Jianshen smiled said.
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Xu Youzhen was deeply moved. Yes, he was so shrewd. If he couldn't catch the door, how could he have the nerve to hang out in front of His Majesty? It turned out that His Majesty valued him so much in his heart.
Xu Youzhen was happy, but Zhang Baoxin felt a little uncomfortable. Wasn't this all his own fault...
"Of course, with Zhang Daban here, I am not afraid anymore."
Zhang Bao immediately felt comfortable after hearing this. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."
"Censor of Xudu, you have been busy all night. Go back and rest. There are more things waiting for you to do tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
After Xu Youzhen left, Zhu Jian sighed deeply, looked at Zhang Bao and said, "Zhang Daban, when I see my father later, do you want to kneel down?"
"Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can he kneel down? Even if he has to kneel, the Supreme Emperor must sit behind the Nangong. At that time, Zailun and his son met for the first time in this palace, so he knelt down. I was afraid that the Supreme Emperor would meet him. Unyielding, the Emperor's style of doing things has always been like this over the years." Zhang Bao said quickly.
While the two people were talking, a young eunuch entered the Qianqing Palace at this time.
Seeing Zhu Jianshen sitting on the dragon chair, he immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am so happy..."
Zhang Bao, who was standing aside, heard what the young eunuch said and immediately reprimanded him: "How outrageous! The Empress Dowager's funeral is over, and you are here to announce the good news. Someone is here..."
After hearing Zhang Bao's words, the young eunuch was startled. He hurriedly said: "Damn it, little one. I really don't know anything about the Empress Dowager. I am from the An Bin Palace. I am here to inform Your Majesty. Concubine An gave birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty, and she did not pass by the Empress Dowager's palace along the way."
After Zhang Bao listened to what the little eunuch said, he calmed down his anger. He looked at Zhu Jianshen and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to go see the little prince?"
At this time, Zhu Jianshen was a little stunned when he heard that Yang Yu'er had given birth to a son for him. He didn't stay outside the door and became a father.
In his second life, he became a grandson, a son, and this was the first time he became a father.
He was a little surprised, but after a while, he calmed down.
"You go back and tell Concubine An that I will visit them again in a while and let her take good care of her health. The expenses in the palace have been increased. Afterwards, she can go to the Imperial Prison."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, the young eunuch also left Qianqing Palace.
After the young eunuch left, Zhu Jianshen stood up and said, "Now, I want to see someone more important."
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Zhang Bao knew in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor was going to see the Supreme Emperor.
