Chapter 343 The new king ascends the throne (end of text)
"Your Highness, here are the latest seized case files, including a duke, seven marquises, two ministers... and there are no less than a thousand people involved."
After speaking, Xu Jingchang presented a thick file to Zhu Gaochi with both hands.
Zhu Gaochi just glanced at it, and then said: "Cousin, sit down first, let's talk about something else... something more important."
Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and said: "I will soon accept my father's abdication and become the Son of Tomorrow... Nine states and billions of people will fall on my shoulders."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Highness has strong shoulders, so he can naturally carry it."
Zhu Gaochi changed his color slightly and said in a low voice: "People often say that a good man has three gangs and a fence has three stakes. In such a big world, I can't stand alone and need capable generals."
He stretched out his hand and put it on Xu Jingchang's shoulder, "You have to help me!"
Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand what Your Highness means."
He only said this and did not continue.
Zhu Gaochi paused and said nothing more.
"Then you go back first and I'll take a look at these files."
Xu Jingchang agreed, stood up and left.
Zhu Gaochi looked through it for a while. He was in a hurry. There were too many things that needed to be prepared to accept his father's abdication. Zhu Gaochi could only read the final conclusion in a hurry, and then put it aside.
This case file is the key to establishing his power as a new king and revolutionizing the world.
After Zhu Gaochi knew what was going on, he went to see Zhu Di again.
Zhu Di looked at his son and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Father doesn't like you very much."
Zhu Gaochi was slightly startled and thought to himself, I may not like you either!
Zhu Di added: "But let me tell you what kind of person can be the emperor of tomorrow... I can't say, so I will give you the throne... But listen carefully,
If you don't do it well, I may destroy you at any time!"
Zhu Gaochi trembled all over. This was probably the most ferocious Zen declaration in history.
"Son...keep this in mind."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi again, waved his hand and said, "Okay, please step back."
Zhu Gaochi turned around and left. When he was leaving, his grandson Zhu Zhanji happened to come in. Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something, but Zhu Zhanji ignored him and went in directly.
"This bastard is becoming more and more disobedient."
Zhu Gaochi complained that he could only arrange other things... Jian Yi, Yang Rong... the two important ministers came to pay homage to Zhu Gaochi.
"Your Highness, this is your Majesty's abdication, the inheritance of father and son, and the harmony of the heavenly family. There is no need to give or take three concessions. As long as your Highness formally bows to the emperor, thanks the emperor for his kindness, accepts the decree, receives the jade seal, and then goes to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.
Officially inherit the throne."
Zhu Gaochi nodded, but then said: "After inheriting the great unification, do I need to tell the world about my method of governing the country?"
The two adults immediately said: "It is natural that this matter will be drawn up by the Ministry of Ceremonies on the throne."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "Of course I know this, but when I think about it, the content of the imperial edict is secondary. I am going to read it to everyone in the world at Fengtianmen, and tell everyone that I will be determined and persevering! One day, I will wait and see.
When I abdicate, I will declare it to the world again and let the people test it to see if it is true to its word."
"This..." Jian Yi was shocked, "Your Highness, this seems unnecessary."
Zhu Gaochi said: "Which one is Jian Shangshu talking about? With my father's merits, even if the Zen position is given to me, how can I sit on the dragon throne all the time?"
Jian Yi was stunned and speechless... He suddenly felt that Zhu Di seemed to have extraordinary considerations for this Zen position. Although he had thought about it a lot, it seemed that he still thought about it simply.
Already.
Frankly speaking, if Zhu Yuanzhang had abdicated in advance after he established his grandson and gave Zhu Yunzhen some time to practice, there might not have been the Battle of Jingnan.
If a routine can be formed, in the long run, the Ming Dynasty can really avoid the situation of being suspicious of the young master... Perhaps this is also the last shortcoming of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty has plugged it.
"Your Highness... I think it seems that I don't need to say anything to the people, or should the Secretary of General Affairs make it clear to the world?" Jian Yi tried to suggest.
However, Zhu Gaochi didn't like hearing it at all. He shook his head violently, "Since ancient times, the emperor has appointed hundreds of officials to guard the world. The emperor is the master of the hundreds of officials, and the hundreds of officials are the blue sky of the people. Only I, Emperor Taizu, uphold the support of the people and drive out the Tartars.
, to revitalize China. I, the emperor of tomorrow, will have the people in my heart."
Zhu Gaochi paused and then said: "This time I swear an oath to the people, it may not be able to do anything, it is just a process... But it would be a pity if we can't even follow this process."
Jian Yi was speechless, and Yang Rong couldn't say a word...
This seemingly frail and honest Zhu Gaochi is not so easy to manipulate!
"Why don't you go see Duke Dingguo and ask him what he means?"
Jian Yi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
At this time, it is really inseparable from Xu Jingchang’s management.
But the strange thing is that Xu Jingchang actually avoided seeing him and didn't want to ask questions at all.
This puzzled Jian Yi and others.
If Xu Jingchang didn't pay attention, he could only go to Yao Guangxiao... But at this time, Master Yao was ill.
The old monk returned to the temple and lived in peace and prosperity.
The entire Ming Dynasty was in a very strange situation.
No one can figure out what the new king will do next when he succeeds to the throne.
"What else can I do? I think I set three major goals at the beginning!" Xu Jingchang glanced at his wife and said with a smile: "Do you know?"
Huang Yunfang chuckled: "Who doesn't know? You are thinking about listening to music in Qinhuai, fishing in Xuanwu Lake, and watching the stars in Zijin Mountain... I have heard people say this so many times."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "That's right, I heard that a Kunqu Opera troupe has recently arrived... just in time to learn from it."
Huang Yunfang smiled and said: "I'm afraid the Duke hasn't heard of it... Kun Opera, it's too highbrow and low-key, and not many people like it. I held a few performances in Yingtian, but I didn't even earn back the food money."
When Xu Jingchang heard this, he was shocked, "How is this possible? The Ming Dynasty needs some elegant things to show our difference. How can we disappear just because the people don't like it? This is not okay! We need subsidies, we need to
Kunqiang became the national quintessence of the Ming Dynasty."
Huang Yunfang paused and said with a smile: "I'm afraid my father will be very happy with the Duke's arrangement."
"That's right, we have the same taste, we are equally good!"
"I wish I was talking about taste."
Xu Jingchang asked again: "Does our family still have any money left?"
Huang Yunfang was shocked, "Are you really going to do that?"
"What's the matter? I plan to buy a boat and go rafting and fishing... What do you want?"
Huang Yunfang blushed slightly, and then gave Xu Jingchang a fierce look, "You are cheating... don't worry, I will definitely not buy you a big boat!"
In a word, Xu Jingchang lost a big ship, and as expected, his wife could not offend him.
"Then I will build another observatory and take time to watch the stars."
Huang Yunfang smiled and said: "The Duke can say whatever he wants, no one will stop him. But there is one more thing. When the new king ascends the throne, will he let the Duke go? I'm afraid you will have more government affairs!"
Xu Jingchang chuckled and said: "This is not something he can have the final say on."
Xu Jingchang was full of confidence, and things were indeed not beyond his control... Zhu Gaochi accepted the abdication and inherited the throne.
When he became emperor, he immediately issued an order to severely punish criminal officials and businessmen, and not to engage in malpractice for personal gain.
And right in the middle of the file, it was mentioned that the General Affairs Department failed to supervise and failed to detect corruption and collusion early... As General Affairs Minister, Xu Jingchang could not escape the blame, so he was dismissed from the post of General Affairs Minister.
Zhu Gaochi was shocked!
I obviously didn’t want to remove my cousin!
Really not!
I can't live without my cousin now!
Zhu Gaochi was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles...but this was his first order, and there was no room for redemption.
Just like that, Xu Jingchang finally managed to escape. It's all your business to go through whatever troubles you want. Anyway, I'm free now.
Quickly get on my boat and grab the fishing rod.
Fishing guy, unstoppable!
While Xu Jingchang was fishing, another man was also very satisfied. Zhu Di boarded a huge building boat. Next to him, Zheng He followed closely.
"Marquis Ningyuan, how many troops are there this time?"
"Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, the combined strength of the troops exceeds fifty thousand, which is more than the combined number of common people in many small countries."
Zhu Di was overjoyed, "What are you waiting for? Set sail and expedition to foreign lands!"
Well... that's it for the main text. Some words will be left in the extra chapters... The new book is also being worked on, it won't be long...
