Jinyi champion

After receiving the welcoming envoys, Zhu Si calmly waited for the first day of April to visit his father's grave, and resolutely refused to leave unless he visited the grave.

This made all the envoys who came to greet him very anxious, except for one person, Zhang Heling, who was not in a hurry at all, and clamored to appreciate the local "customs and customs" in Anlu.

Several letters were sent to the capital every day. Perhaps the envoys also knew that it was impossible to rush back like they did when they came back. They would travel more than [-] miles in ten days. A seventy or eighty miles is probably not bad.

The purpose of writing to the capital is to let the Queen Mother Zhang, Yang Tinghe and others in the capital know that the inheritance of the imperial edict is going well here, and they can take over smoothly only after they are brought to the capital.

As for the "gossip" that has been circulated in history, such as the saying that several kings compete for the throne, and the one who arrives first in the capital becomes the emperor, it is impossible to exist in real history.

If it is Zhu Si, it is Zhu Si. This is determined by the Ming legal system. Of course, this legal system can have different opinions, but from the perspective of the successor, Zhu Si is the well-deserved number one. There is nothing wrong with it. Yang Tinghe As the head of the civil servants, he can only be selected as the number one, otherwise the name will not be right, and the succession of the throne will be difficult to convince the public, which will inevitably cause civil strife in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty to fight for the throne.

That's it.

Yuan Zonggao suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost power.

It was fine before, even if Zhu Si met Tang Yin secretly, at least he was in control of the affairs of King Xing's Mansion, and he was a well-deserved butler of King Xing's Mansion.

But suddenly the emperor died, and the imperial edict came. Apart from being able to communicate with Princess Jiang, he even had difficulty seeing Zhu Si. On the contrary, Tang Yin moved into the palace these days, and seemed to be the most vocal person around Zhu Si. Quan's staff, even if they come forward to communicate with the ministers, Tang Yin is not doing it, Tang Yin assigns Zhang Zuo to be responsible for the implementation.

Yuan Zonggao felt that his falling out of favor was a bit "inexplicable".

It was twenty-nine in a blink of an eye, and the envoys had been in Anlu for two days.

Early in the morning, taking advantage of the end of Zhu Si's closed-door meeting with Tang Yin and Zhang Zuo, Yuan Zonggao went to the study in the inner courtyard and met the young master of the palace.

"Yuan Changshi, you are not busy with worshiping the mausoleum tomorrow, how can you come to see me?" Zhu Si was a little confused when he saw Yuan Zonggao, why did you appear in front of me without even calling you?

Yuan Zonggao said: "The worship of the mausoleum has been properly arranged by the old man. I don't know when His Highness will leave for the capital? Succession is the most urgent matter at present."

"You are wrong, Yuan Changshi, worshiping the mausoleum is more important now."

Zhu Si looked persistent, "I am from Xing Wangfu, this cannot be changed, I am the son of my father and mother, and I do not intend to adopt someone else's name... As for letting me succeed, it is because the emperor has no My son, you must let me go, don't you? After the mausoleum worship is over, I will arrange the matter of going to Beijing."

Yuan Zonggao never expected that this young man would be so "perfunctory" about becoming emperor.

"Liang Dashi and Mao Shangshu have repeatedly urged..." Yuan Zonggao only thought that Zhu Si didn't understand the truth, and wanted to give some advice in the tone of a gentleman.

Zhu Si immediately turned his face: "You didn't hear what I said, did you? Who is in charge of Xingwang's mansion now? If I am the emperor, then when I will arrive in the capital, I should make the decision, or the scholar Liang and Mao Shangshu decides?"

A few words made Yuan Zonggao speechless.

Yuan Zonggao thought to himself, Tang Bohu has been drugged so much. As King Xing, you don't even understand the reason why the late changes?How does this benefit the whole Xing Wang Mansion?

"Wangfei's side..."

Yuan Zonggao could only move Princess Jiang out.

Zhu Si's face was full of anger, and he said: "Yuan Changshi, I hope this is the last time, arrange the worship of the mausoleum, and when to leave is not up to you. If the concubine insists that I leave early, let her Tell me, don't let me spread the word! Go down!"

Yuan Zonggao was full of confidence to let Zhu Si listen to him, but unexpectedly he stumbled.

He saw that Zhu Si was really angry, so he had no choice but to salute and leave.

"Bohu, Bohu, do you still remember the last order of the late king? This is obviously playing with fire!" Yuan Zonggao said to himself when he left the study room, but it is a pity that he can't even meet Tang Yin, let alone question him face to face.

……

……

The first day of April.

The mausoleum was carried out as scheduled.

Afraid of accidents, Yuan Zonggao had asked Concubine Jiang for instructions in advance, and sent people to the capital first to inquire about some information, so that when Zhu Si went north, more news from the capital would come.

Zhu Si didn't do this at all, it's not that he didn't expect it, but Zhu Si felt that Zhu Hao was in the capital, and Zhu Hao had Su Xigui's people to help deliver the message, so there was no need for Xing Wangfu to send someone.

Xing Wang's mansion made a big move, but it would appear that Zhu Si was very concerned about the ownership of the throne, which would be unfavorable for him to hold power in the future.

These are all suggestions put forward by Tang Yin... Although Zhu Hao can't point out these things one by one, after Tang Yin understands the core idea of ​​Zhu Hao's "slow" formula, he can deal with it and make arrangements with ease.

Tang Yin has the ability to be Zhu Hao's ally!
The group went out of the city to Songlin Mountain in the eastern suburbs where King Xing was buried.

The mighty, the flags are flying!
King Xing's Mansion transferred all the guards back to the city to arrange security matters, and the Imperial Forest Army and Jinyiwei brought by the envoys made Zhu Si travel like an emperor.

The people in Anlu had heard the news a long time ago, and they came to watch.

Now that we all know that there is a real dragon in the land of Anlu, why don't we hurry up and see the new emperor's demeanor?

Moreover, the new emperor is so filial. Before leaving the capital, he did not forget to visit his father's grave. This shows that the new emperor is very nostalgic, and maybe the people of Anlu can benefit from it.

"The local people are very enthusiastic..."

Zhang Heling was riding on the horse, leisurely.

He is the happiest one in Anlu these days, and it is the national mourning period right now, so he doesn't care at all. He has already traveled all over Anlu for any delicious and fun places.

Yuan Zonggao was in charge of accompanying him. At this moment, he looked at Zhu Si's carriage in front of him from time to time, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart, because he was not even qualified to approach the carriage. Luo An strictly followed Zhu Si's order, and never allowed anyone who hadn't been seen to meet in the past. .

"Xingwang's Mansion has won the hearts of the local people in recent years for fighting robbers and providing disaster relief," Yuan Zonggao explained.

"is it?"

Zhang Heling smiled and didn't seem to be surprised at all, "Yuan Changshi, the new emperor is so popular, which means he can be a man, so after he arrives in the capital, he should take care of the people around him, right?"

Yuan Zonggao didn't understand.

Ding Guogong Xu Guangzuo, who was riding beside him, coughed twice, reminding Zhang Heling not to talk nonsense.

Zhang Heling didn't care about it at all, and said with a straight face: "I'm just asking how popular your majesty is. Do you need to avoid it? We all have great achievements in support, and we should be promoted to the capital when we arrive in the capital, right? Haha."

The sound was so loud that even Gu Dayong and others behind could hear it.

Everyone was worried for a while, who did they bring to welcome Luan?
Do you really regard your own support as more important than anything else?You are not an old member of Prince Xing's Mansion, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, if he ignores you, what can you do?The emperor and the courtiers don't understand the truth, and only the relatives of the Zhang family can do such a coquettish and thoughtless thing.

……

……

On Pine Hill.

At this time, the tomb of Prince Xing's Mansion has been built. As the prince's mausoleum, it is not large in size. When you go up the steps, you will soon see the Shinto stele.

Going forward is the entrance of the underground palace. Zhu Si walked past, and all the followers and officials were not allowed to come forward, but the guards and eunuchs of Xing Wang's mansion could continue to open the way forward as servants of Zhu Si's family.

Zhu Si did not enter the underground palace, but knelt down in front of the stele to salute.

Originally thought that Zhu Si came to visit his father's grave, but it was just a formality, but Zhu Siyi couldn't afford to kneel.

Kneeling was very tiring, and then Zhu Si sat there cross-legged, muttering something to his father's grave, and behind him, people from the Yiwei Department of Xingwang's Mansion went to build a shed to shade the sun and block the people who came with him from behind. line of sight.

"What is this for?"

Zhang Heling asked questions at an inopportune time.

Mao Cheng said: "My son, this is the most filial and the most benevolent."

When I saw someone, I didn't come here for a formality, otherwise what auspicious day to choose?
Now that I'm here, I'm sure I won't be able to leave for a while.

Although it is not very hot in April, but near noon, a group of people are all dressed in court clothes, the golden sun is shining directly on the body, the eyes hurt, and the mood is even more irritable. I can't find a place to sit, I can only stand there Waiting for the little emperor to confess his heart to his father.

Zhang Zuo ran back and forth between the shed and the rear of the car several times, as if he was delivering a message for someone, and someone who cared noticed this.

Liang Chu asked Yuan Zonggao: "Yuan Changshi, is the princess accompanying?"

From Liang Chu's point of view, such prudence requires the eunuch Fengzheng, the court servant of the palace, to pass the message back and forth. He must be a noble person. Maybe all this is not the little emperor's opinion, but Jiang Wangfei's intention.

Yuan Zonggao shook his head and said, "Never."

"That……"

Liang Chu knew that if it wasn't for Princess Jiang, it would be difficult to continue asking some questions, but he still started.

Yuan Zonggao shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't even know..."

Liang Chu doesn't quite understand, you are the chief history of the palace, the other long history Zhang Jingming has passed away, now you are the only one in the palace, how can you say that you don't know?
Who are you kidding?Didn't you arrange all this?
Outsiders can't think of it, Yuan Zonggao really doesn't know.

Because it was Tang Yin who used Zhang Zuo to pass the message to Zhu Si from the back, and it was Zhu Si who was bored sitting there and wanted to ask when he was leaving or what he was going to do next.

Zhang Zuo ran back and forth, but enjoyed it, and sometimes deliberately demonstrated to look at Yuan Zonggao, which means, look, I am more capable than you, and I can communicate with the prince, but you can only communicate with these foreign ministers Usually stand here to watch the fun.

Are you angry?
The party waited on the mountain until noon, when the sun was setting to the west, Zhu Si finally finished worshiping the mountain, followed by another grand sacrificial ceremony.

During the ceremony, drums and horns sounded together, just when everyone thought that everything was about to end and they could finally march to the capital, Zhang Zuo came over to inform: "My lords, this old slave is here to deliver a message for the young master. It's not early today, please go back to the city rest."
