Zhu Yijun's mobilization speech at the ceremony of the new army's expedition to Burma did not have any gorgeous language, but all the soldiers on the expedition understood it, and with the help of his status as emperor, his morale and fighting spirit were instantly raised to the full level.
Jinghaibo Qi Jiguang immediately asked martial arts students to deeply study the spirit of Zhu Yijun's important speech, and to study pre-war mobilization as a subject in depth, and pointed out that pre-war mobilization should be taken into consideration and be of great benefit to improving the combat effectiveness of the army.
In this mobilization speech, the emperor proposed the concept of "Chinese nation" for the first time, and it was recorded in the annals of history. When later generations of anthropologists studied the two concepts of nation and nation, they did not bypass this speech -
—This is the beginning of the cohesion of nations and nations in China.
Later generations of political scholars and researchers on the historical distinction between the world and the nation-state cannot avoid this mobilization speech. But at this time, in the Ming Dynasty, except for a few important ministers who had been with Zhu Yijun for a long time, they were influenced by them.
Except for the attendants, no one realizes what the concept of "Chinese nation" means.
...
After the new army went out for the expedition, Zhu Yijun entered the intensive preparation stage for the wedding. Although the queen mothers of the two palaces helped, the wedding etiquette was still so complicated that it made Zhu Yijun's scalp numb.
After the etiquette of accepting gifts and asking for names last year, before and after the Chinese New Year, three more rituals were carried out, including accepting gifts, collecting taxes, and announcing the deadline. Each of them exhausted the emperor and ministers who participated.
On the first day of March, it was finally time to welcome the emperor, eight days before his wedding. The empress dowagers of the two palaces ordered the officials around them to lead the emperor to the palace where the Spring Paintings and the Happy Buddha were stored, to learn the method of succession.
Zhu Yijun visited with the mentality of studying historical details, and he really had fun: I won’t talk about the spring paintings, I can only say that they are quite interesting compared with the high-definition pictures of later generations, and the two bottles of Happy Buddha are a bit funny.
The two Buddhas were tightly decorated and holding each other. The two statues were just fine. The key was that the two Buddhas had internal mechanisms. When the eunuch beside the Queen Mother tightened the spring on the back of the Buddha body, the two small statues made a creaking sound.
Zhong Zhen practiced it, and Zhu Yijun burst out laughing.
After the observation and education, Empress Dowager Li designated the queen of the palace next to her, nicknamed Laidi, to go to the palace maid to learn the ways of Dunlun. On the third day of March, Wang was sent to serve in the emperor's chamber. This arrangement was to let the emperor practice in advance.
In case you don’t know how to operate it during the wedding.
This Laidi's appearance was very different from that of the maids who had been around Zhu Yijun before. She was considered a little beauty. Although she was five years older than Zhu Yijun, she was not harmed by the late emperor and was still a young lady.
Zhu Yijun went through less than three seconds of psychological struggle before decisively accepting it. First of all, this matter must be done, because for Laidi, this was not only a "lucky", but also something that needed to be reported to Queen Mother Li.
If Zhu Yijun is pretentious about work, it will be very difficult for Laidi.
Neither Zhu Yijun nor Zhu Yijun had the intention to protect Zhuang Jingjia. If he really did that, the harem would be in a state of uproar - the empress dowagers of both palaces would look down on Zhuang Jingjia, and maybe they would make another dirty move.
Let Queen Zhuang walk around without food.
Early the next morning, Lai Di took small steps and arrived at the Queen Mother's palace with a blushing face. Queen Mother Li was relieved. Immediately, Lai Di was named a talented person and promoted from a palace maid to the master's son. She was lucky to be accepted by the emperor.
The date and date are all recorded in detail. If she becomes pregnant from this, Laidi will be able to wake up from her dreams with a smile.
After tedious etiquette preparations and fragrant technical preparations, Zhu Yijun was finally able to marry his bride in this time and space, Zhuang Jingjia. But before that, there was still a major political event that needed to be completed - the return of the Merciful Saint Queen Mother Li.
On the fifth day of March, Empress Dowager Li sent four autographed edicts in succession. The first one was to Zhang Juzheng: "The emperor's wedding is coming soon, and I should return to this palace. When things are not going as well as before, I will always guard and take care of him. The emperor is diligent in learning and doing his work. I already know that you will not be tired of your holy virtues. However, you are personally entrusted by the late emperor and have the responsibility of being a teacher and protector. This is different. This is specifically mentioned here. Therefore, I have given you a sitting mang, a mang robe, and eight colored satins. There are two hundred taels of silver on the outside and inside, to show my sincerity."
Zhang Juzheng read the edict and remembered that when the emperor came to the throne, it was Zhang Juzheng who advised the Holy Mother to stay in the Palace of Qianqing. When the emperor took the throne, he made no major mistakes, and the contribution of the Holy Mother's advice cannot be forgotten. Although the emperor later personally took charge of political affairs, However, the Holy Mother did not interfere, fully delegated power, and also had the power of care and protection.
At the beginning, Zhang Juzheng was afraid that Empress Dowager Li would be burdened, so he suggested in his memorial that Empress Dowager Li should return to the palace after the emperor's wedding. Now Empress Dowager Li has followed suit, and has no attachment to the power represented by Qianqing Palace. A loving mother and a strict teacher.
Empress Dowager Li's second edict was given to the emperor. Although the two met every day, the formal edict marked Cisheng's complete devolution of power from a legal perspective: "I told the emperor that I knew that your wedding was about to take place, and I should return it to this palace." .Your movements, eating habits, and rest are not as good as what you heard and taught before, and I am worried about this. As the lord of heaven, earth, gods, and men, your responsibility is not light. You must be extremely self-restrained, eat in moderation, be careful in your daily life, and obey the instructions of the old teacher. The advice from the elders around me is: Don’t spoil me and appoint non-human beings to make me worry. This can pray to heaven for eternal life. Although Yu Yao’s filial piety is nothing more than this, I respect you and will not violate it.”
At the same time, Empress Dowager Li also issued two edicts, one to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the other to the Palace Minister Zhang Rong.
The message to the Chief of Ceremonies is: "Tell the Chief of Ceremonies, Madam, that the eunuch (the eunuch in charge) knows that I am returning to the palace now, and that the emperor and the queen are eating, drinking, and living, and you must be extremely careful to serve them. Deacons and courtiers should be diligent in making promises and should not be arrogant. If the emperor or the queen is not considerate, they should be calm in admonishing them. They should not flatter others, thereby ruining the etiquette. They should also not fabricate other people's rights and wrongs, secretly seeking revenge. If you have heard anything, , no sin will be forgiven.”
The message to the British Duke Zhang Rong was: "I have told my attendants and chamberlain ministers Zhang Rong and others that I know that you have all become important ministers in the court and have been relied upon both at home and abroad for more than just one day. The emperor is in his prime year, and the queen is newly promoted. I now return to this palace." , and shall not be taken care of as before. So, you and other important ministers must pay close attention to it. We must guide the emperor to be in power and to be benevolent and righteous... You respect him and do not replace him."
Empress Dowager Li could have summoned the internal and external ministers to tell them about these four edicts. However, Empress Dowager Li knew political rules very well and wrote and issued the four edicts herself. Although they were all words of entrustment, she made it clear that she still had Palace - From then on, he no longer has the power to interfere in political affairs, and he gave up simply and decisively.
Zhu Yijun accepted the edict and immediately sent an edict to Zhang Juzheng, saying to Zhang Juzheng: "I should obey the instructions with my fist, and I hope Lai Qing will accept it day and night."
Immediately, the emperor reciprocated the favor and issued a decree, in which he spoke highly of Empress Dowager Li: "The Queen Mother teaches and cares for her, and she must not hear any disrespectful words for a day, and dare not mention evil and sycophants in front of her. To teach sincerely is not to be close to virtuous ministers, but to listen to loyal advice; if not to protect the people, it is to save unnecessary expenses. For example, the Holy Mother bows to me, kindness is a loving mother, and righteousness is a strict teacher."
With this Zhang Zhi, the Empress Dowager returned to the palace and the emperor's legal procedures for taking charge of the palace were finally completed. On the seventh day of March, Empress Dowager Li moved out of Qianqing Palace and moved into the renovated Cining Palace. From now on, Li Li in this time and space The era of nominal rule by the Queen Mother was also completely over.
