Zhu Youxiao personally presided over the wedding ceremony of his younger brother Zhu Youjian, thus marking the coronation ceremony of the prince.
Zhu Youjian also ushered in his most glorious moment.
After all, Zhu Youxiao had indeed achieved the ultimate in this ostentation.
In the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, he was probably the only vassal king who had such a pomp, with all the civil and military officials participating and congratulating him.
To the great surprise of all the civil and military officials, the vassal territory designated by His Majesty for his only brother was not the prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River.
But Guangzhou, which is thousands of miles away and is a place of crying in their eyes, is really beyond their comprehension.
Because His Majesty has always cared deeply for his younger brother, and they all saw this.
It's only in the past few months that my attitude has become a little colder, and before now we were indeed brothers and sisters.
They couldn't allow them to think too much. The most critical moment in the entire ceremony had finally arrived.
"The heaven has given orders to carry the emperor, and the edict says: I look up to the lotus and the sky rests, and I inherit the emperor's line. I have many servants in my command, and I wish to promote the prosperity of the country. I will promote the founding of the country and promote the great ceremony."
"Of the five sons of the late Emperor Guangzong, I am the only one with extraordinary talents and solid talents."
"It is as tall as the golden branches, and the heroic wind is in the palm of the hand. It is better to be planted on thatched soil to have a family."
"I am here to confer you the title of King of Guang, and entrust you with a precious treasure. You should be respected and inherited."
"I still fear the sky all the time, be careful about my body and meditate on my thoughts. I will always give you the orders of the time, so that you can have the reputation of your command. Thank you!"
After Wang Chaofu read out the imperial edict of kingship with all his strength, all the civil and military officials knelt down on the ground under the reminder of the etiquette officer.
First, they paid homage to Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and then used a set of collective Mandarin to congratulate Zhu Youjian, who was named King Guang.
Then the whole ceremony came to an end, and the emperor gave a banquet in the palace.
Today's protagonist is naturally Zhu Youjian, who has just been crowned King Guang.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not try to steal his limelight. After making some grand remarks at the banquet, he returned to Qianqing Palace alone.
Zhu Youjian also officially gained his freedom, so today he is even more wild than usual.
Zhu Youxiao is no longer restricted to him, because in ten days, his younger brother will officially move to Guangzhou and join the feudal clan.
And some thoughtful people seized this rare opportunity and started to contact Zhu Youjian on the grounds of congratulations and toasts.
But I don't dare to be too obvious. After all, this is a palace, not my own home, so I still have to be wary.
What they didn't know was that Zhu Youxiao took a stand in advance and did so intentionally.
Because Emperor Tianqi died very strangely in history, including his cheap dad Zhu Changluo.
It is quite obvious why Zhu Changluo died within a month.
Because he died in the political struggle between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.
The reason why he had the opportunity to take those red pills was because Fang Congzhe, then the chief minister of the cabinet and the leader of the three parties, arranged it.
At that time, the Donglin Party was gaining momentum and trampled the three parties under its feet and ravaged them wildly. If the chief ministers of the cabinet were not theirs, the three parties would have withdrawn early during the Wanli period.
This is also the reason why Emperor Wanli did not appoint officials in his later years.
He is not lazy, but helpless, because he has completely failed in the confrontation with the civil servants during the national war.
Especially in his later years, when there were Donglin Party members everywhere, his actions were meaningless, and he didn't want to do anything anymore.
This is also the reason why Fang Congzhe has been impeached and denounced in various ways, but he can still firmly hold the position of chief minister.
The position of chief minister of the cabinet is so important. Fang Congzhe must sit in it. Once Fang Congzhe falls, it will be Dong Lin, the leader of the cabinet.
This is something that Emperor Wanli will never allow. The power in the court must be balanced.
Emperor Taichang, who succeeded to the throne, had a very close relationship with the Donglin Party members, not to mention that the Donglin Party members were very benevolent to him.
The officials of the three parties knew that their doom had come when the new emperor ascended the throne, so they had no choice but to fight to the death.
According to Zhu Youxiao's guess and investigation, the reason why Emperor Tianqi fell into the water was most likely due to political struggle.
And it was still the Donglin Party and the Three Parties, but at this time the officials of the Three Parties were already living on their last legs and had taken refuge under Wei Zhongxian, and were called the eunuchs.
The current situation in the court, as well as his attitude and policies, are much more ruthless than the Emperor Tianqi in history.
He wanted to take a look, and at the same time he also wanted to confirm whether his guesses and feelings were correct.
Therefore, he did not deal with government affairs in Qianqing Palace, but quietly waited for the news reports from the factory guards' spies.
Zhu Youxiao, who was in Qianqing Palace, waited for more than an hour, but did not get the news he wanted.
This made him doubt whether he was too suspicious?

………
In Xuanfu territory, at the border of the Great Wall, Dushikou Pass and Maying City, Yang Jun, the commander of Dushi Military Affairs, the governor-general, has just issued a military order to inventory weapons and equipment.
Yang Jun is Yang Hong's son. He is only in his twenties this year. Because of his family and his father, he got into commanding the general affairs at a young age and guarded the place alone.
It's a pity that in his heart, he was not grateful to the court and the emperor, but took it for granted.
Just an hour ago, his father's servant Qianhu came here and told him a shocking plan.
"Father, has he really made his decision?"
"Don't fall into the trap of those civil servants and let them take advantage of you."
"My Yang family has been serving as generals and soldiers in border towns since the Hongwu period. We have been able to stand for two hundred years, but we have never been involved in the political struggles of the civil servants of the imperial court."
Yang Jun couldn't understand why his father suddenly wanted to do such a thing.
It's not like we're in a desperate situation, it's just that we're thousands of miles apart, and it's probably too late to persuade us now.
"Don't worry, sir, the general has already thought clearly, we can only give it a try."
"The general also said that this time is a matter of life and death. The young master must be prepared for everything, lest something unexpected happens and the opportunity is missed."
"Then Man Gui is not someone who is easy to fool. Tell your father to get rid of this troublesome guy Man Gui first."
"After all, he is the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town. If my soldiers and horses want to be mobilized and leave the station, it is not enough to just have the transfer order and approval from the Ministry of War."
Yang Jun said worriedly.
Mangui is a Mongolian and has no friendship with his Yang family.
To be honest, he had some personal grudges with Man Gui.
When he was still a senior general, he used words to insult and ridicule him.
It's just that things in the world are unpredictable. He didn't expect that this Mongolian would now become his immediate boss and the chief military officer of the town, which made him feel really uncomfortable.
"My subordinates know, I will rush back and tell the general."
