Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below, his expressions as pale as water. The ministers who wanted to see something from Emperor Tianqi's face also looked helpless at this time, and could only stand there quietly, waiting.

Emperor Tianqi spoke. In such a large court meeting, it is obvious that there is something important to say, and many people have heard some news. It is better to remain silent until they understand what love is.

"If you have the foundation, you will have to give up early. If you don't have the foundation, you will retreat!" No matter what the ministers thought, Wang Cheng'en would definitely perform his duties well and shouted expressionlessly.

The people below were stunned, but everyone kept their mouths shut tightly so that no one would jump out at this time. The sound of needle dropping could be heard in the hall, and everyone was waiting for Emperor Tianqi to speak.

He nodded slowly. Emperor Tianqi had expected this a long time ago, and said in a deep voice: "You guys have nothing to do with your love. I have something to do with you. Can we discuss it with you guys?"

"I will respectfully listen to the holy teaching!" The ministers had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. They thought they had rehearsed it countless times and said in unison, even the expressions on their faces were the same.

After taking a look at the important ministers, Emperor Tianqi picked up a memorial and said, "Ni Yuanlu, the head of the Household Department, has he arrived?"

These ministers were all in a daze. The head of the Ministry of Household Affairs was only a low-ranking official of the sixth rank. He was not qualified to participate in such a large court meeting. The regulations were very clear. For civil servants of the fifth rank and above, there was an insurmountable gap in the officialdom.

"Your Majesty Ni Yuanlu!" A voice sounded from behind the ranks of civil servants. Although the voice was not loud, it reached the ears of every minister.

Now everyone's eyes were focused on Ni Yuanlu. After all, it was an exception for a sixth-grade official to stand here. Many people thought of a possibility, that is, this matter must be related to Ni Yuanlu.

relation.

"Did you write this memorial?" Emperor Tianqi shook the memorial in his hand and asked expressionlessly, without any fluctuation in his tone.

Ni Yuanlu was also beating her drum in her heart. She didn’t know what Emperor Tianqi wanted her to do here. Did she do something extraordinary? But she didn’t do anything extraordinary! Although she had a concubine in the house a few days ago,

This is completely normal.

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Ni Yuanlu took a look at the memorial in Emperor Tianqi's hand, but the appearance looked similar, and Ni Yuanlu was not sure. She submitted a memorial herself. That was to ask Emperor Tianqi to appoint a prince, but

I am also following the crowd! After thinking about it, Ni Yuanlu said: "I am reporting this to the Emperor. It cannot be seen from the outside, and I am not sure whether it is my memorial."

Phew! Some people couldn't help but laugh out loud. They really didn't understand the rules and dared to say anything. The emperor picked up the memorial and it must have been written by you. Although the question was asked in a questioning tone, the emperor had no doubts.

principle.

Taking a deep look at Ni Yuanlu, Emperor Tianqi found that this sixth-grade head of the household department was quite extraordinary. There was no sign of nervousness at all in this great meeting. When he was asked, the expression on his face did not change.

This attitude is already rare.

Smiling softly, Emperor Tianqi seemed to become more approachable in an instant, and said: "To tell the truth. Yes, it is a good quality. You must maintain it in the future. Your name is on it, and it is about the appointment of the crown prince.

Yes, don’t you remember?”

Now Ni Yuanlu was even more confused. What was she going to do? She was not the only one who asked the emperor to appoint the crown prince. Someone with a higher official position than herself had done it. How could she find out only herself? Although she kept guessing in her heart, Ni Yuanlu's face

But the emperor said with a calm face: "To report to the emperor, that is my memorial!"

Passing the memorial to Wang Chengen aside, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Read it!"

"The three emperors ruled the world, and the five emperors were together. The ethics were the grand ceremony. The emperor ascended the throne when he was young and ruled the world for four years. The sage king ruled the world, encountered the Tatars externally, and cultivated benevolent government internally. The world was stable, the world was surrendered, and the people lived in peace. The emperor's virtues are as high as the mountains and rivers.

Long!" When Wang Chengen read this, something strange suddenly appeared on his face. There were many people who flattered Emperor Tianqi, but this Ni Yuanlu was too simple.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi nodding, Wang Cheng'en continued: "The prince is the foundation of the country, and the foundation of the country will ensure the peace of the world. The eldest prince Zhu Cixuan is handsome, diligent in learning, and has outstanding talents. He is very respectful in his affairs; he is very filial in his parents; he is very filial in his brothers and sisters.

They are very close to each other; they are very dignified when they serve as sons and nephews; they are very dignified when they serve as ministers and servants. They are very similar to the emperor, so I ask you to make the eldest prince the crown prince, to establish the foundation of the country and to stabilize the world!"

If we talk about flattering Emperor Tianqi, the ministers below didn't think anything of it. The part about appointing a crown prince is really ridiculous. The look in Ni Yuanlu's eyes was full of weirdness, and he didn't know that Emperor Tianqi took this memorial.

Come out and read it, what does it mean?

At this time, Ni Yuanlu's face turned red and she opened her mouth several times, but nothing came out. There was no mouse hole on the ground, and Ni Yuanlu wanted to find a hole to crawl in.

The eldest prince, Zhu Cixuan, was only three years old. He was just a toddler and could not speak clearly. He could not be said to be handsome, diligent in learning, and talented. Not to mention that he was very respectful in everything he did; he was very filial in his parents' service; he was very filial in his service to his siblings.

To be a relative; to be a son or nephew, it is very dignified; to be a servant, it is very prestigious.

This Ni Yuanlu child is really, this is obviously a guide for the adult prince to ask for a crown prince. Others wrote all the ancestral precepts of the great ancestor, and wrote a lot of things like the eldest son, but this Ni Yuanlu went too far. Everyone looked at it

Emperor Tianqi, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to speak.

"I'm very curious as to which lover wrote this memorial. It's good to see it today. At least the virtue of telling the truth is already very valuable. This memorial also makes me very satisfied. These few days

I have read many memorials asking for the establishment of a prince, but most of them are not well written. Only the one about loving the prince is sincere and truly a rare masterpiece!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Ni Yuanlu with a smile, not stingy with his praise.

The people below were all dumbfounded, how can this be done? Ni Yuanlu was already standing there, her face turning green and white. It wasn’t until Wang Chengen coughed that Ni Yuanlu woke up and quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, you have given me too much praise.

Well deserved!"

"My dear, there is no need to be too modest. I had no intention of establishing a prince early, but I made up my mind after reading Aiqing's memorial. My beloved deserves the most credit!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Ni Yuanlu with a smile, and his tone was very sincere.

Now no one is laughing at Ni Yuanlu. This is the merit of his support! It’s such a huge contribution, I didn’t expect it to be given by a sixth-grade chief! Many people are extremely jealous and wonder if they can’t write anything if they go back.

Memorial on April 6?

"Wang Chengen, declare the decree!" Emperor Tianqi ignored everyone's gazes, looked back at Wang Chengen with a smile, and said.

Respectfully, he picked up the imperial edict from behind and slowly unfolded it. Wang Chengen said loudly: "Imperial edict!"

"I accept the decree, long live my emperor!" Everyone was a little confused, but everyone knew that this must be the imperial decree to appoint the crown prince.

"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: "Long's kindness is unrequited, and his generosity is unpaid. He will inherit it day and night, hoping to fulfill his filial piety and support. Since ancient times, emperors have succeeded to the heaven and set up their own posts to govern the Huan area. They must establish Yuan Chu, Maolong's country, and Mianzongshe." A rest without borders. I am in awe of Hongxu and work hard day and night. I look up to my ancestor, Mo Lie, and entrust me with the most important things. I am the heir of Yuanliang, so I cannot be in vain for a long time.

Establish heirs, respect the foundation of the country, so inherit and guard the utensils, so inherit the cultural heritage, pay homage to the previous precepts, and keep the rules and regulations at all times. I will surpass my ancestors and enjoy the wealth of heaven. I will live in my house for nine years, and I will celebrate hundreds of millions of years. One person, prefaced by Pi Gou. Compiled by the great ancestor of Wu, Yanhong's own branch, received endless leave, and also had unlimited sympathy. The load is so heavy, he is diligent and hard, and he will always cherish the training of his heir. He should be the deputy king.

My son, the eldest prince Zhu Cixuan, was born to the Queen Zhang. He is Qiyi Yinghui, and he is the descendant of the clan. He has a long-standing reputation, but he is sincere and filial. He is sincere and cautious, and he abides by respect. When the messenger heard about it, he surrendered. Spirit, imitate the saints and give birth to virtue, the teachings are profound, the Qi leaves blow the copper. Gather great achievements early, disdain the young ambition, gentleness is obtained by nature, filial piety to friends is due to nature, the talismans are picked and blended, the utensil industry is far-reaching, Yuan Yingxishe, the real mail Weicheng, a place among the Yihe River, is the happiest place in Mu Dongping. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has stopped, and the earthquake position has been empty. The virtues of the land are respectable, the people and gods belong to each other, the style can be followed, and the badges can be carried. This is the book for you. Crown Prince.

Go to Qin! There is a country as a family, a king as a father, righteousness as the two poles, and the ties between all nations. What is good is not virtuous, what is evil is not sycophancy, what behavior is not Tao, what reverence is not punishment. Do not be arrogant when you are in a superior position, and do not obey advice. , Maozi is virtuous, but Huaiyongtu is the best. You can use it to accompany me and bow to Yang Xiu, but you can't be careful!

The grand ceremony for establishing the crown prince will be held in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in three days' time! Sacrifice to heaven and earth, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Please do this!"

Compared with Ni Yuanlu's memorial, this canonization edict was definitely written by a master, with sincere words and no pretentiousness. It was completed in one go, without any nonsense, of course in the eyes of these ministers. Many people followed Wang Chengen's reading and shook their heads.

Emperor Tianqi shook his head helplessly. To be honest, many people here didn't understand. Of course, this must never be told! Looking at Ni Yuanlu below, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Ni Aiqing, since you think the crown prince is so outstanding , I also believe what you said. The prince is still studying, so you can be a companion reader! If one day the prince's performance dissatisfies me, you are the only one I will ask!"

Reading companionship may seem cheap, but it depends on who it is. The crown prince’s companion reading is definitely the most noble reading companion in the world. Reading with the prince every day is both a teacher and a friend, and the relationship is close. As long as you get along well with the prince , it must be a meteoric rise, and the official road is always open.

Many people looked at Ni Yuanlu with jealousy and their eyes turned red! There were even many officials from the Imperial Academy among them.

"Sun Chengzong, the chief auxiliary military minister of the Military Aircraft Department, is already the crown prince's grand master, and there is also a grand master. As for Liu Yijing, the chief auxiliary scholar of the Taifu cabinet, you can do it!" Emperor Tianqi turned his attention to Liu who was aside. Yi Jing said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
