Yao Zongwen, this person was originally employed by the household department, but he resigned and returned to his hometown due to mourning.

After returning to the imperial court, I wanted to be a supplementary official, so I kept swaying my beard all the way, and then I was able to sit in the position I was given.

In August of this year, when Zhu Youjian's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, had just passed away, Nurhachi attacked Puhe Suo in Shenyang.

Due to the disparity in strength, the Ming army in Puhe was scattered and killed more than 700 people, but generals such as He Shixian also contributed to killing the enemy and capturing them.

Logically speaking, this battle was not a mistake. After all, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two forces. The defeat in Puhe was normal. He Shixian was able to capture the head of Hou Jin and capture the soldiers, which was already good.

However, Yao Zongwen started slandering the court because Xiong Tingbi did not recommend him to be an official. Later, he also falsely accused Xiong Tingbi of not training his troops and embezzling military pay. As a result, the court dismissed Xiong Tingbi, and Nurhaci took advantage of the situation and directly captured the Liaodong Peninsula. , allowing the Ming Dynasty to retreat to the Guangning area west of the Liaohe River.

To sum up, this guy is a guy who rose to power by slapping his beard, and then relied on grudges to frame others at will.

After Zhu Youjian found out what happened to him, he naturally had no good feelings towards him.

However, he did not show his expression on his face. He just interrupted Yao Zongwen and spoke softly to Zhu Youxiao:

"The national situation is difficult. At this time, etiquette can be put behind you. The emperor should succeed to the throne as soon as possible and preside over the funeral of Emperor Kao."

As soon as Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Only then did they notice that it was Zhu Youjian who took Zhu Youxiao out of Qianqing Palace and arranged for Jin Yiwei to escort him.

Zhu Youjian was only ten years old, but he could be so mature and steady. Many civil servants nodded secretly, but some secretly regretted it.

They only lamented that Zhu Youjian was not the eldest son and could not inherit the imperial throne.

However, this kind of thought can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart, but cannot be expressed directly.

"Well, my brother is right."

Zhu Youxiao is now very dependent on Zhu Youjian. Although it feels a little strange, what Zhu Youjian did just now gave him a lot of security.

"Lu Wenzhao, you will escort the imperial brother and all the gentlemen to the Wenhua Hall, and also order the temples and temples in Beijing to ring thirty thousand bells and pestles!"

"Follow your orders!" Lu Wenzhao didn't care that Zhu Youjian said this for the second time, because when he said it just now, all the civil servants were not there, which could not show Zhu Youjian's composure.

Let me say it again now, it's just for show to the civil officials.

Seeing Lu Wenzhao's response, Zhu Youjian also commented on Zhu Youxiao's handwriting:

"Brother, the emperor is tired. I will return to Xu [xù] Qin Palace first."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Youxiao grabbed Zhu Youjian's hand, and a friendly smile appeared on his delicate and immature face:

"My brother is on the same path as me."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao grabbed Zhu Youjian's wrist and walked towards the Wenhua Hall regardless of whether Zhu Youjian was willing or not.

Zhu Youjian himself was also stunned, because logically speaking, at his age, he would definitely not participate in such a national event.

However, under Zhu Youxiao's tug, even though Zhu Youjian was several times stronger than ordinary people of his age due to his rebirth, he could only be dragged away in front of his brother who was good at carpentry and exercised in disguise.

In other words, deep down in his heart, he actually wanted to go to the Wenhua Palace and witness history with his own eyes.

Lu Wenzhao looked at the actions of the two Zhu Youxiao brothers and quickly followed them with the Jin Yiwei, while Fang Congzhe and other civil servants stared with big eyes, but they did not dare to offend Zhu Youxiao at this time.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings witnessed many things when the prince succeeded to the throne, and even supervised the country.

For example, Emperor Wanli, the grandfather of the two Zhu Youxiao brothers, handed over the court to his younger brother King Lu every time he left the palace, and King Lu supervised the country.

Now that Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth, they, a group of veterans who had not made any meritorious deeds, naturally did not dare to stop him.

The most important thing at present is to let Zhu Youxiao succeed to the throne quickly, then announce Zhu Changluo's death to the world, and then preside over Zhu Youxiao's enthronement.

The pitiful group of veterans rushed over in a hurry. Before taking a few breaths, they continued to follow Zhu Youxiao and the others towards the Wenhua Hall.

Passing through the ruins of the three main halls along the way, after passing through the gate of Wenlou, they finally arrived at the Wenhua Hall, the important place where major events of the Ming Dynasty were decided for more than 20 years...

Wenhua Hall, a palace building built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, is located to the east of the Meridian Gate of the Outer Chao Dynasty, opposite Wuying Hall in the east and west.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Wenhua Hall was the place where the crown prince watched government affairs. However, since most of the Ming crown princes after Zhu Biao were young, it was later changed to the emperor's private hall.

During the Yongle period, the cabinet and the six ministers often stayed here, and during the Chenghua period, the cabinet scholars came here to work almost every day.

Zhu Youjian was dragged into the Wenhua Hall by Zhu Youxiao, and then he saw hundreds of ministers and ministers gathered here, waiting for news.

"Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live your Majesty..."

But when they saw Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao entering the palace, all the ministers and ministers immediately pushed down the golden mountains and poured out the jade pillars. They didn't even care that Zhu Youxiao had not yet sat on the chair, and shouted "Long live".

"flat body"

After all, he was the grandson of the emperor who was personally chosen by Emperor Wanli. Although Zhu Youxiao loved carpentry, he also had a somewhat naughty personality and was even more timid towards Concubine Li Kang...

But at this moment, he assumed the posture of a superior and raised his hand generously to signal the officials to stand up.

He dragged Zhu Youjian and was about to go to the imperial court, and wanted Zhu Youjian to stand next to the imperial court.

His move frightened Zhu Youjian so much that he quickly reminded him in a low voice:

"Brother, no, it's enough for me to listen below."

"How can there be so many rules? Brother, just come here!"

At this time, Zhu Youxiao's character became tougher. In front of all the officials and ministers, he dragged Zhu Youjian to the imperial court. Then he and Zhu Youjian sat at the imperial court in the Wenhua Palace to serve the officials.

.

"Long live! Long live! Long live..." The first person to react was Fang Congzhe, who took the lead in singing the salute. After the officials reacted, they followed closely and sang the salute loudly.

For a moment, the sound of "Long Live the Mountain" came from the Wenhua Hall and kept echoing in the square in front of the Wenhua Hall.

At this moment, all the temples and Taoist temples in the capital, as well as the bell towers of the imperial court, rang their bells one after another.

The sound of the bells was a little chaotic at first, but gradually became uniform, and the bells were rung dozens of times in a row. All the princes, ministers, merchants and common people who were resting at home couldn't help but feel terrified.

The emperor died and the bell was struck thirty thousand times...

An ordinary person can only experience such a thing once in a lifetime, but millions of people in the capital have already experienced it once a month ago.

Now it sounds again? Isn’t it...
