Chapter 40 The History of Jiajing's Ascension
Just when Zhu Zaijing returned to Prince Yu's Mansion and continued to study with Gao Gong, what happened to him in the East Market in the morning had already spread to Xiyuan.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the secret report presented by Huang Jin. After reading it, a hint of anger appeared on his otherwise calm face, "It's so outrageous, even my son dares to challenge it!"
Emperor Jiajing was very angry. Although he had a weak concept of family ties and believed in the prophecy of "two dragons never meet", his son was also one of his enemies. He could ignore or punish him, but he would never allow others to treat him. My son is disrespectful!
Huang Jin quickly advised: "Emperor, please calm down and don't let your fairy spirit come into play. Prince Yu left the palace incognito, and no outsiders know about it, so some accidents are inevitable. The slaves will send more secret servants." I will protect you secretly so that nothing unexpected happens to Prince Yu.”
Of course, Huang Jin's words were not meant for Yan Song. It was because Prince Zhuang Jing's sudden death caused him to feel unstable. There seemed to be something wrong with his cultivation, and he was easily stimulated emotionally, so Huang Jin spoke in such a hurry.
After hearing Huang Jin's words, Emperor Jiajing calmed down a bit, and then smiled and said: "San'er's momentum is good, this slap is really smooth, I was like this when I was in the mansion. I have never felt so happy before."
Huang Jin followed Emperor Jiajing's happy mood and said: "Prince Yu's character and temper are more like His Majesty's. He can take the initiative and retreat calmly. , this is much like the emperor’s wise fight with Yang Tinghe.”
When talking about the wise fight with Yang Tinghe, Emperor Jiajing smiled happily again. This was the victory he was most proud of since he inherited the throne.
Back then, Yang Ting and others bullied Emperor Jiajing because he didn't know the ways of Beijing, so they asked Emperor Jiajing, who came from Anlu, to change his father, recognize Emperor Xiaozong as his father, and change his biological father to his uncle. How had Emperor Jiajing ever experienced such birdiness?
He has been the King of Xing in Anlu for two years. What etiquette and principles do he not understand? If the father were replaced, who would listen to whom in the future?
So Emperor Jiajing expressed his intention to give up his son at that time, but the decree to announce King Xing's heir had long been announced to the world. How could he change it just by saying it?
So in this round of confrontation, Emperor Jiajing succeeded in a small victory and obtained first blood!
But then the old guys in the capital made another move. They cleverly suggested that Emperor Jiajing, who came from afar, should inherit the throne as crown prince. But how could Emperor Jiajing accept this?
Emperor Jiajing said to his long history: "The posthumous decree states that my heir is the emperor, not the prince." This showed that his attitude was that he came to inherit the throne of the emperor, not to be the crown prince.
If he becomes the crown prince, wouldn't he have to change his father again?
After all, at this moment, Emperor Jiajing’s biological father has not yet been elevated to the status of emperor.
At that time, Yang Tinghe, a scholar in the First Assistant School, also thought that he was a veteran of three dynasties and had great reputation and confidence, so he personally asked Emperor Jiajing to follow the etiquette advice issued by the court etiquette officer and enter the Wenhua Hall through Donghua Gate. , choose a day to ascend the throne.
But Emperor Jiajing was not stupid, and he did not understand history. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao died without an heir. Huo Guang and others appointed Liu He, the king of Changyi, as emperor. As a result, Liu He, who had just arrived in Chang'an, did not know about Chang'an. He couldn't wait to enter Chang'an City and live in the Weiyang Palace without formal official certification, thinking that he was really the emperor.
In the end, in less than a month, Huo Guang found a reason to kill him and destroy him.
Now Emperor Jiajing is also faced with this unfair inheritance routine, and of course he will not be fooled.
Emperor Jiajing was just waiting in the outskirts of Beijing. Anyway, he would kill his successor according to his will. If he could not be allowed to enter the city according to the emperor's etiquette, he would go back to his hometown and continue his journey to Anlu. Be a prince!
Faced with such a tough attitude from Emperor Jiajing, the imperial court certainly couldn’t bear it. After all, the edict announcing King Xing’s heir to the throne had been promulgated, and the emperor’s funeral still needed to be held by the new monarch. If Emperor Jiajing just stayed in the suburbs of the capital without coming in, not only would the court lose face, but even Emperor Zhengde, who had been dead for many days, would not be able to bear it.
After all, there was no ice coffin for Emperor Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty at that time. As the days passed, the weather became hotter day by day. Emperor Zhengde's biological mother couldn't afford to wait, so she could only order the officials to go to the suburbs to write a letter to persuade him to join. After all this trouble, Emperor Jiajing naturally took the final initiative and accepted the officials' persuasion to join in the suburbs. .
Then he entered through Daming Gate according to the emperor's etiquette, and immediately ascended the throne as emperor in Fengtian Hall, officially starting his own era.
This was extremely thrilling for Emperor Jiajing at that time. Once he lost himself in the process of the throne in front of him and became a puppet of all the officials in the capital, even if he could successfully ascend the throne, he would be controlled by others in the future.
But after an uncompromising battle of wits and courage, he entered the Forbidden City as the emperor, and the nature changed. This shows that Emperor Jiajing's throne was obtained by relying on the legal authorization of the Ming Dynasty's "Emperor Ming Ancestor Instructions", and was not obtained by the manipulation or favor of others, so Emperor Jiajing's backbone was naturally strong.
I dare to continue fighting for power with Yang Ting and these old ministers who are trying to control the new king!
Although Zhu Zaijing's current affairs in Dongshi cannot be compared with the glorious deeds of Emperor Jiajing, at least Zhu Zaijing also showed his momentum and decisiveness in handling this matter.
Zhu Zaijing beat his offenders mercilessly in the street. In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, this was power, and in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, power was inviolable. Therefore, Zhu Zaijing's young man's bloody nature in beating people in the street also coincided with the It came to the mind of Emperor Jiajing.
Also, after beating people, before the officers from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrived, Zhu Zaijing was able to control his temper and not conflict with the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, so he chose to let it go. In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, it was wisdom!
How could such a powerful and wise son not make Emperor Jiajing happy?
Emperor Jiajing laughed happily, then turned around and asked, "Did San'er send me something yesterday?"
Huang Jin quickly replied: "Yes. Prince Yu gave the emperor a bottle of 'Yi Ran Candy' and asked his servants to tell the emperor that this candy would make him less troubled and make his heart sweeter."
Emperor Jiajing exclaimed, "Really? Bring it over and show it to me."
Huang Jin immediately presented the "Yi Ran Candy" sent by Zhu Zaijing to Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the exquisite packaging of "Yi Ran Candy" in his hand and praised: "San'er is very interested. Open it, I want to have a taste."
Huang Jin caught Jiajing again With the "Yi Ran Candy" in his hand, the emperor carefully removed the wax seal, then removed the cork, then used a small silver spoon to dig out a small spoonful and placed it on a gold plate, and finally presented it to Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing pinched a little bit with his fingers and put it in his mouth to taste it. His eyes suddenly lit up, "This candy is good. It is indeed much sweeter than the candy in the palace. It really makes me feel good. Good candy! ”
Of course Huang Jin knew it was good candy, because he had already tried it yesterday. After tasting it, Huang Jin was also very surprised. This was the first time he had tasted such sweet candy.
Huang Jin smiled and said: "Such sweet candy shows that Prince Yu's filial piety towards the emperor is very pure."
Emperor Jiajing also nodded proudly and said: "I heard that San'er is here too. Practicing the "Xiantian Gong" taught by Chaotianguan Immortal Lan Daoxing? Now it seems that Lan Daoxing has some abilities. He will come to discuss Taoism for me tomorrow."
Huang Jin replied yes, and then continued. Asked: "Emperor, Mr. Yan Ge, the second son of his family, rushed into Prince Yu. Do you want to give him a warning and ask him to restrain his family?"
Emperor Jiajing said: "No, Yan Song is already very cautious. , if his family is like him, how can I use him? It’s better to let his family be more arrogant, so that it will be easier to deal with in the future.”
Then Huang Jin asked again, "Where is Prince Yu?"
Emperor Jiajing also said: "I don't care about him. He has been hiding in the palace before and never left the door. Those who don't know think that I have raised a girl. Let him go, remember to send more secret agents to protect her, and report to me in time if there is any situation. "
Well, the competition on the History Channel is too fierce now, I actually did. Broken leg. . .
