Bright moon and breeze (28)

This year, in Lin Yutong's eyes, it seemed like absurd dramas were performed one after another.

On July 21, 1918, the 48th year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli died in the Hongde Hall where he had been in most of his life.

The ministers in the court, the princes and grandchildren, were all in the hall.

Zhu Changluo was in the front position, standing next to the bed. The Fourth Master and Zhu Changluo were separated by Zhu Youxiao. He clearly heard Emperor Wanli say that Concubine Zheng was the queen, and then he whimpered and said something. He couldn't hear clearly.

Wang An helped Zhu Changluo and choked and said, "The emperor also said... to make the eldest grandson the grandson..."

The phlegm was blocking the throat, and you could hear a big fuck! Fang Congzhe and other ministers next to him immediately knelt down: "I will obey the order!"

Chen Ci knelt on the side of the old master, looked up at Wang An, and his eyes met the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master said nothing, and Chen Ci shut up: Emperor, can you hear it? You haven't swallowed your breath yet, someone is already falsely circulating the imperial edict.

No one knows whether a person can hear it when he is about to die. What is it that he can’t hear it? So what if he can’t hear it? What is the difference if he dies with his eyes open.

Emperor Wanli died in this situation! He died in a state of breath and there was nothing left.

This day was very busy.

Zhu Changluo pulled the Fourth Master aside, "The Jinyiwei will be optimistic about the imperial city and close all doors unless there is a handwritten order. Entering and exiting is strictly prohibited."

The Fourth Master nodded. This is not stupid. Knowing that safety is the most important thing when the old and new changes. He nodded and said, "The imperial city has been martial law in the past few months."

That means that Emperor Wanli has started since he was seriously ill!

Zhu Changluo nodded constantly, as if he was relieved, "That's good! That's good!"

This day was spent in such unreal thoughts of the collapse of the mountain tombs! The next morning, Concubine Zheng was making a fuss to see Zhu Changluo, which was a headache for Zhu Changluo.

Wang An said from the side: "Crown Prince, this queen cannot be recognized! She cannot be enthroned!"

I know! I know! But how to lose this fate is a problem.

Wang An whispered: "You are now in the funeral, and you have not ascended the throne yet... This matter is only one word - drag it out!"

"We can delay, but the ministers... have heard it! Why should we delay?"

"Give two decrees to the ministers, and ask them to go busy! After ascending the throne, let's talk about other things." Wang An said, and reminded, "Didn't the late emperor leave you with the decree, call you..."

Oh! Yes! Yes! Yes!

On July 22, Zhu Changluo announced as the crown prince that he would pay one million silver tribute to the soldiers in Liaodong and border areas.

This money must be released from the inner treasury.

As soon as this will came out, it seemed that he had seen the wise king.

On July 23, the day of the throne ceremony was determined. All preparations were made, and the first day of August was the fastest.

As soon as the news was announced, Zhu Changluo felt at ease!

So, on July 24, he issued an order to pay another one million silver to reward the soldiers. In addition, he issued an order to dismiss the mining tax, call for sleep, and recall the mining tax envoy, and to make up for the cabinet so that the center can operate normally.

One by one, the other will continue, and the whole place is full of joy.

Compared with Emperor Wanli, who was so stupid in his later years, is this emperor already quite impressed?

From July 25th to August 1st, in just a few days, Zhu Changluo had to call the Fourth Master almost every day, and asked one thing: Have you checked the guards of the imperial city? Is it safe? Should I allocate another batch of personnel?

This feeling is understood by the Fourth Master. When you stand alone on a high place, you have to stay steadily when you are in front of others, but when there is only one person left, you will feel - fear!

A lonely man, surrounded by wolves, would be crushed to pieces if he accidentally did.

Every emperor probably has to go through this stage! Some people have a long state for a long time, while others have a short period of time.

Obviously, Zhu Changluo is the kind of person who has been afraid for a short period of time.

On August 1st, the throne ceremony was held. Zhu Changluo ascended the throne of the emperor, with the year name Taichang.

Put on the dragon robe and become the emperor! I feel at ease, and then I make trouble!

He definitely couldn't stay in Hongde Palace and took Li Xuanshi to the Ganqing Palace. The concubines of Emperor Wanli had to be moved to a more remote place to make room for his concubines? Ciqing Palace became Zhu Youxiao's territory.

And the courtyard of the Fourth Master and Tongtong could no longer live. Zhu Changluo seemed to have forgotten that the funeral was still being held in the palace, so it would be inconvenient for him and the Fourth Master to do this.

If it is inconvenient, it is inconvenient. At worst, you can come every morning and go back in the evening. How troublesome is it?

After all, most of the eunuchs in this palace actually come in and out every day. When they are on duty, they come in the palace, and if they are not on duty, they stay outside.

The number of eunuchs during this period was a bit scary. In the capital, nearly 100,000 eunuchs were gathered. There were also many people in the palace, and there were nearly 9,000 palace maids in the palace, so where could they live?

Therefore, most eunuchs live outside the palace, and several alleys are their "collective dormitories". Isn't this just having to go in and out of the palace when you work?

Every day when entering the palace, Lin Yutong really watched how Zhu Changluo committed suicide.

The new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Zheng is still thinking about the Empress Dowager! But he was helpless and could not see the emperor. What should I do? She presented eight beauties to the emperor.

There is this historical book. When Lin Yutong reads the historical book, she felt it was very fantastic. She thought that she was a screenwriter with a level again. Are the editing things too rough and too unstable? But such a lack of standard thing really happened.

Concubine Zheng presented to Zhu Changluo eight beauties. Could this be a good intention? You forgot how your mother was bullied to death by Concubine Zheng? You forgot that you didn’t dare to talk to your mother when your mother was dying, just because Concubine Zheng’s people were watching. For more than ten years, the person Wanli’s favorites were always the King of Blessings by Concubine Zheng. You forgot the case of attack, how did a man who was nothing beat the East Palace with a stick? That case was strange without Concubine Zheng’s hands!

Such a archenemy, at this time, can she give you a good intention?

Even if you don’t mention the past, you think you have ascended the throne and time has changed, and Concubine Zheng will not be able to do it. This is just to enthrone her as the empress dowager and then try to curry favor with you.

But do you also have to think about it. Your legitimate mother, Queen, died in April, and now she has made a full plan. One hundred geniuses have passed. And your father has only been dead for ten days.

What she gave you was a beauty, what do you want to do? This is a bad reputation!

As a result, they accepted it! Not only did they receive it, but they also... couldn't wait to enjoy it!

Then I didn't see the emperor very much. The eunuch who wrote a pen to help Gaihong, and he picked up the most important ones to give the emperor a reply.

The information from the Fourth Master was only handed over by Chen Cia.

As soon as he ascended the throne, on August 2, the censor Tian Jinsheng submitted a note saying that it was all kinds of tribute fabrics woven from Jiangnan, but they could not be shipped. It was not that we did not make it, we did it, but we did not have the shipping fee. Can we temporarily stop shipping?

It means you still need money! As a result, this Emperor Taichang said, "Let's stop running!" Let's do it first.

Later, Li Ruhua, the Minister of Revenue, submitted a memorandum and said that he should reserve half of the money in Shandong. In this situation in Shandong, it will be difficult to live this winter and have to save it for disaster relief. This memorandum was delivered on August 3rd, and the result was quite good and it was accurate.

On August 4th, Huang Kezan, the Minister of Justice and Works, submitted a memorandum, saying that he would have to build the Huangji Palace.

The news was handed to the Fourth Master, and the Fourth Master handed it to Tongtong. Tongtong didn't understand very well, "What kind of Huangji Temple is being built now? It's only two million taels at a glance."

Huangji Palace is the later Grand Hall, where the court was held. This thing is two million at a time. The Fourth Master shook his head, "If you don't mention this matter, it's Huang Kezan's wrong! He has to mention it! But it depends on how to mention it. The budget cost he mentioned is too much, and the opening of the mouth is only two million taels..." It is the same as the sum of the silver that was paid for the two previous times. "He should have thought that if the cost is too high, the emperor will not be sure. He didn't want to ask the emperor to accept it at all."

I understand! This is waiting for the emperor to reject it. In this way, he has no fault, no need to waste money, and can smoothly shirk responsibility.

Lin Yutong thought this person was very good at being an official.

The Fourth Master nodded, "Remember the name! This person has always been neutral in the court. He can do this and maintain a position of not forming cliques. This is not a capable person who can have."

Huang Kezan! Lin Yutong put this name on the alternate list.

The minister really took a lot of effort. In order to save money, he really moved his mind with the emperor! After the letter was handed over, the Emperor Taichang did not reject it, but was accurate!

Two million to build the hall! I really want to give up.

The Fourth Master frowned, "I'll go out tonight."

Is it going to Huang Kezan's mansion?

Well! You have to put the two million taels of silver first, don’t rush to move.

It was midnight when I came back this evening. I talked with the two ministers a little late. I got up a little late early, so I quickly entered the palace. But as soon as I entered the palace, I was called aside by Chen Cia: "Prince, hurry up... One of the people left by the emperor said that he wanted to be Jianba, but now it has aroused the emperor's disagreement..."

The Fourth Master was in a hurry. It turned out that he was a member of the Ministry of Personnel. A man named Zhou Chaorui wrote a memorial and advised the emperor. He said that the emperor should "trust and act kindly and dismiss the treacherous and slanderous."

What does this mean? It means that the emperor is still celebrating villains and staying away from wise ministers.

Can Zhu Changluo bear what you said? He suddenly hit the gun.

Lin Yutong heard a rough look at the side and smiled in her heart. She understood the Fourth Master's intentions: so many people still have high hopes for the current emperor and the eldest son of the emperor. The effect of competing with them for this is far less effective than watching them from hope to despair.

It is easy for the Fourth Master to take office, but after he gets to the throne, he will argue with court officials and scholars from all over the world, how can he have that time?

It takes chaos to be able to be greatly governed.

So she watched the drama in the palace safely and watched how to continue the absurd drama.

Now, on the tenth day of August, Emperor Taichang became ill.

On the day of the throne on August 1st, he was in good spirits. Although he was not a dragon or a tiger, he was also steady and had a rosy complexion, so he was not at all sick.

On August 10th, he could not get up in just ten days. Originally, August 11th was his birthday, the Wanbeng Festival! But because he could not get up, even the Wanbeng Festival was temporarily decided to cancel it.

How ridiculous is it for eight women to go from a healthy person to being unable to get out of bed in ten days?!

Tongtong also asked the Fourth Master: "Is it possible to be taken off the DU?"

The Fourth Master rolled his eyes and said, "Wang An is not stupid! The person who serves him is watching, how could he be really DU by Concubine Zheng?" He has been suppressed for thirty-nine years, and most of his life has passed. Finally, there is no such mountain anymore, and he is indulging. Eight beauties, Dandan, and I feel that they are exhausted. Isn't there any elixirs to take? Taking elixirs as medicine is consumed at all. Who will fall ill if he doesn't fall ill?

That is to say, this matter may not be the sincerity of Concubine Zheng! This woman is not a smart person! Her son is in the vassal state, and Zhu Changluo has three sons, even Zhu Changluo and his son are dead. There are King Hui and King Gui Rui in the capital. It is not the turn of King Fu to ascend the throne. Even if King Fu has wings, he will not be able to fly to the capital.

Or is King Fu going to rebel? Concubine Zheng was clearing the obstacles in advance? But in fact, King Fu never rebeled.

The Fourth Master had asked Chen Ci specifically about this, and Chen Ci was very confident: "King Fu guards the royal palace and lives a peaceful and comfortable life. I dare not mention these things to the emperor. In recent years, King Fu has paid great attention to money and exploited them very well. What the emperor is looking forward to is not enough to count on King Fu! King Fu saved money and grain just to like saving money and grain. He did not raise soldiers or generals... without any other thoughts."

Look! Without the cooperation of King Fu, Concubine Zheng's move should not contain any other deeper meanings.

Moreover, when Concubine Zheng died, Zhu Changluo did not get any substantial benefits, so she really didn't intend to harm others.
To be continued...
