Chapter 1950 Is he worthy?
"What? Planning the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony? Will the Holy One also attend the ceremony in person?" All the ministers on duty in Wuyi Palace were surprised when they heard Huang Jin's edict. My mouth opened wide, and my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
This size is too big.
The most important matter of the country lies in sacrifice and military affairs! The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners has been around since ancient times. The victors held a ceremony to sacrifice the captives to gods and ancestors, and held celebrations and memorials in order to obtain the blessings of their ancestors and God and bring continuous good luck.
However, prisoner dedication ceremonies at the Meridian Gate are not often held. At least the Ming Dynasty has not held a prisoner dedication ceremony at the Meridian Gate for more than a hundred years.
This is the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony! Any ceremony, as long as it is held at the Meridian Gate, is worthy of being of the highest standard.
Because this place at Meridian Gate is so extraordinary!
The Meridian Gate faces south from the north. The walls on both sides of the gate extend forward, forming a "concave" shape. There are five gate towers built in the Meridian Gate, and there are also five city gate openings. Only the emperor can enter the main entrance in the front. The queen can enter once when she is getting married. The top three, second place, and top three in the imperial examination can enter once. , the others, whether they are prime ministers, generals, or princes and grandsons, are not qualified to leave!
You said, if a grand ceremony is held in such a place, can it not be of the highest standard? !
Without a doubt!
Well deserved!
Not to mention holding a grand ceremony in this place, even a slap in the face here can leave a mark in history and be famous for generations to come!
The Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony is the most solemn and highest-level prisoner presentation ceremony, bar none!
The Prisoner Offering Ceremony belongs to the Rong Dynasty. It is the only one among all the ceremonies. It is the only ceremony among the ceremonies.
It can be said that this ceremony is more grand and has a higher standard than Zhao Wenhua’s ceremony when he went to Jiangnan to worship the sea!
He, Zhu Pingan, is actually worthy? !
How many keys does he deserve!
Did you make a mistake? !
After hearing Huang Jin's words, all the ministers, especially those from the strict party camp, looked at Huang Jin in disbelief.
"Yes, this is the will of the Holy One. Please start preparing for the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony from now on. The prisoners to be sacrificed are the Japanese pirates captured in Suzhou Prefecture. The Holy One will attend the ceremony in person at that time. .”
Huang Jin nodded vigorously and relayed Emperor Jiajing's will to the ministers once again.
Huh?
Will the Holy Spirit come in person? !
Then the standards of this Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony have been raised to a certain level! Damn it, does Zhu Ping'an deserve it? !
At that time, although people like me have higher official positions than Zhu Pingan, they will not leave a word in the history books a hundred years later. But Zhu Pingan will definitely be famous in the history books because of this Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony!
"Is it too hasty?"
"The Japanese invasion in the southeast is still serious and getting worse. Suzhou only held a ceremony to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate after capturing more than 400 Japanese pirates. Wouldn't it look like the Japanese pirates would attack the city again in the future? Is this Meridian Gate ceremony a bit ridiculous?”
“Please think twice before holding a ceremony. After the victory of the war, well, judging from the current situation, it is best to hold the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony after the Japanese invasion is completely eliminated."
"Eunuch Huang, please advise. I advise the Holy One to think twice.”
All the ministers couldn’t help but talk a lot, and found a lot of reasons for not holding the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony.
They even asked Huang Jin to turn around and go back to persuade Emperor Jiajing not to hold the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony.
"My lords, please don't embarrass the Zajia family for such important military and national affairs. The Zajia family is just a servant. 'Ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and those who violate it will be killed.' This is the rule set by Taizu. "
Huang Jinpi rejected all the officials with a smile. He was joking, the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony was going to be held by the Holy One, and it was too late for the Zajia to fully support it, but you actually let the Zajia dissuade him. Your Majesty? !
The Zajia family is missing something, but it’s not their brains!
"If you have any objections, please raise them to the Holy One." Huang Jinpi looked at them with a smile and said.
"Uh"
All the ministers on duty suddenly became quiet.
Just kidding, Emperor Jiajing is a master who likes to give advice. During the great etiquette dispute, officials from the shou etiquette faction came together to give advice. A total of 229 people from the imperial court, Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy, censors from the Supervisory Academy, various ministers, officials from the Six Ministries, and officials from Dali Temple collectively went to Zuoshunmen and knelt to admonish Emperor Jiajing. .
Ahem, ask Emperor Jiajing not to recognize his biological father as his father, but to recognize Ming Xiaozong as his father.
What’s the result?
Eighty-six officials above the fourth rank were suspended from duty and fined, and 134 officials below the fourth rank were sentenced to prison. Seventeen of them were killed on the spot and more than 80 were seriously injured
This is still the reason of their courtiers. Well, after all, Emperor Jiajing succeeded Emperor Zhengde to the throne.
Since ancient times, succession to the throne has been based on the father’s death, the son’s death, and the elder brother’s younger brother. If you, Emperor Jiajing, inherited the throne of Emperor Zhengde, don’t you have to be his younger brother? Then you have to recognize his father, that is, Is Xiaozong a father?< br>
Now, Suzhou has achieved a great victory in the anti-Japanese war, and almost all the invading Japanese pirates have been wiped out. It is reasonable for Emperor Jiajing to hold a ceremony to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate to combat the arrogance of the Japanese pirates, to promote the power of the Ming Dynasty, and to boost the morale of the army and the people. Also in ceremony.
It is unreasonable for us to prevent Emperor Jiajing from holding the Meridian Gate Prisoner Presentation Ceremony. If we are unreasonable and go to Emperor Jiajing to remonstrate, haha, then it is not like the old man hanged himself to seek death.
"Oh, by the way, the Zajia almost forgot one thing. Your Majesty wants the Zajia to tell you all that from now on, you will discuss the reward for Suzhou Mansion, especially Zhu Ping'an and Lord Zhu."
Huang Jin looked at the ministers with a smile and declared another decree.
"Huh?"
"Are we going to discuss Zhu Ping'an's reward? So soon, haven't the factory guards who went to Suzhou to investigate haven't returned yet?"
"What if Zhu Ping'an killed Liang and took credit? Even if he didn't kill Liang and took credit, what if there were other inside stories about the battle in Suzhou that we don't know?"
"The coffin hasn't been sealed yet, and it's about to be decided. I'm a little too anxious. It's not too late to wait until the battle of Suzhou is completely revealed before we can discuss rewards and punishments."
The ministers on duty were even more upset than they had been just now. Want more.
"My lords, the Holy One has said that Zhu Ping'an and Lord Zhu will be rewarded based on the fact that he did not kill good people and take credit for his merits. The last time he sacrificed the sea for a great victory, your lords were a little slow in debating Zhu Ping'an and Lord Zhu's rewards. Okay, we have to go faster this time, well, this is not what the Zajia said, this is what the Holy One means."
Huang Jin said with a smile. , and then added without waiting for the ministers on duty to speak, "If Mr. Zhu Ping'an is really guilty of killing a good person and taking meritorious service or other crimes, it will not be too late to decide the punishment when the factory guard Suzhou sends a message."
< br>"Okay, my lords, the Holy Spirit's decree has been conveyed to the Zajia family. I will not disturb your official duties. The Zajia family will take their leave."
After Huang Jin finished speaking, he said goodbye and left, leaving a group of ministers buzzing in the main hall. (End of this chapter)
