Chapter 75

To be strong and straightforward is to say Wu: strong without desire, strong and unyielding.Huai Zhongshu, upright and straight.

The powerful enemy is called Wu: fight against the virtuous.

To control disasters and chaos, it is called Wu: to conquer with soldiers, so it can be settled.

Boasting a lot of aspirations and poorness is called Wu: Ambition and marching soldiers, many things are extremely poor.

The temple name is Wu, and there are 22 articles in "Yi Zhou Shu · Posthumous Posthumous Interpretation", among which there are good and bad. The use of martial arts in the temple name is mostly derogatory, and among the posthumous names, it is a beautiful posthumous title.

People who don't understand the truth are extremely easy to be fooled.

Empress Xia almost nodded, and put the word Wu on Zhu Houzhao's head.

Fortunately, Yu Fei stopped it in time and sent back the memorial from the Ministry of Rites.

It turned out that the ones who were sent were all flat names, such as Mu Zong, Jing Zong, etc. Yu Fei didn't bother to talk to the Ministry of Rites any longer, so Shang Shu and his assistant were packed by Yu Fei and thrown to Nanjing.

Now that the emperor is newly mourned and the crown prince has not succeeded to the throne, the power of the entire country is in the hands of Yu Fei and Empress Xia. Does a Minister of Rites really think he is the god of Dinghai?

The three top officials were all thrown to Nanjing. Only then did the remaining officials of the Ministry of Rituals realize how powerful they were, and quickly re-drafted the temple name and posthumous name and sent them up.

In the end, among the two temple names of Zhong and Gao, Yu Fei chose Gao. Zong Na was precarious.

With Xianzong in front, this Chinese character is somewhat inappropriate.

However, Zhu Houzhao had the merit of governing the Yellow River and the grasslands, so it is appropriate to take the character Gao, and the posthumous title is Ruiwu.

The full names are Ming Gaozong, Emperor Ruiwu, and Zhu Houzhao.

With Yu Fei's strong intervention, in less than ten days, all the affairs behind Zhu Houzhao's affairs have been dealt with.

And Empress Xia officially ascended the throne with her three-year-old prince Zhu Zaiyao in her arms, and changed her reign name to Tianshi, which means the renewal of Vientiane, starting from today.

After worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth.

In the Golden Luan Hall, Yu Fei led a hundred officials to perform the ceremony of emperor and minister to Zhu Zaiyao, who was only three years old. Since then, the status of emperor and minister has been determined, and Zhu Zaiyao has officially become the nominal ruler of Ming Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Xia watched Yu Fei and the others perform the ceremony of the monarch and ministers, and then took out the prepared imperial edict and the ceremony officer at the side began to read it out.

Yu Fei already knew the content, but it was the edict left by Zhu Houzhao, adding the title of Grand Master, and he and the Empress Dowager Xia jointly assisted the young emperor.

Just as the ritual officer finished reading, he saw Yang Tinghe stand up, bowed and said:

"Report to Your Majesty and Queen Mother, I have advice from you."

Empress Dowager Xia, this is the first time to experience government affairs, looked at the bowed Yang Tinghe in a daze for a moment, and then said hastily:
"Mr. Yang, you don't need to be polite, please stand up and speak."

Yang Tinghe cupped his hands and bowed before saying loudly:

"Your Majesty and Empress Dowager Xie, the late emperor has just passed away, so I shouldn't have said too much. Empress Dowager, most of the imperial guards in Beijing are the former subordinates of Yu Shoufu, which is already extremely dangerous, but now the emperor entrusts the state affairs. Your majesty is young, so say It is not appropriate to say that Yu Shoufu, the military and the state and the government are all in his hands, as long as he has the slightest evil thoughts, it will be today in another day, and I hope your Majesty and the Empress Dowager will learn from each other."

"This"

Hearing Yang Tinghe's words, the Empress Dowager Xia was also startled, she couldn't help but look at Yu Fei, only to see Yu Fei's expression was calm but he didn't intend to refute at all.

At this time, Yang Yiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, also came out and bowed and said:

"Old Yang Ge's words are not bad. Even if Yu Ge is an upright person and does not have evil thoughts, it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates are all honest and gentlemen. The matter of adding the yellow robe in the former Song Dynasty comes first. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother must not ignore it."

After Yang Yiqing finished speaking, a large group of officials also bowed together and said:

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, you must worry about it."

"This this."

The Empress Dowager Xia had seen such a battle, and she was a little flustered, not knowing what to do, she just glanced at Yu Fei with her eyes.

Yu Fei was still as calm as ever, and the remaining officials who were designated as remaining party officials also remained silent.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager Xia looked at her son in her arms, remembered her husband's dying words, gritted her teeth and said:

"Mr. Yu is the pillar of the country, the minister of the late emperor's humerus. Since the late emperor has a will, let's do it according to the late emperor's wishes. Gentlemen, get up quickly."

"The queen mother can't."

"Please think twice, Queen Mother."

"Gentlemen, get up first before speaking, sorry for my family."

Seeing Empress Dowager Xia being bewildered by these people, Yu Fei took a step forward and said loudly:
"Report to Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, I have a copy."

The voice was so loud that it instantly suppressed everyone's voices.

The Empress Dowager Xia seemed to have seen her savior, and hurriedly said:

"Sir, please speak."

Yu Fei cupped his hands, looked at the kneeling official and said loudly:

"The death of the first emperor was not a disease, but poisoning. I have already found out the reason."

The Empress Dowager Xia was terrified, stood up holding the emperor, looked at Yu Fei, and tremblingly said:

"Your Majesty really didn't die of illness?"

Yu Fei cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"Indeed it is not, but it was harmed by traitors."

The Empress Dowager Xia staggered slightly, fearing that her son would fall, she quickly put Zhu Zaiyao on the dragon chair, then looked at Yu Fei and gritted her teeth and said:
"Who is it? Whoever dares to murder His Majesty, the Ai Family must let him be torn to pieces."

"And Rong Chen is presumptuous."

"Mr. Yu, just do what you want, Aijia wants to see who is so bold."

Yu Fei cupped his hands, and said in a low voice:

"Commander Yang."

Yang Xu cupped his hands at Yu Qian, and then said "yes" to Yu Fei.

Then he strode out of the Golden Luan Hall, and after a while, he saw Jin Yiwei pressing a large group of people into the hall, including officials, eunuchs, servants and maids, and an old man with a high crown was dragged in tremblingly.

Many officials who were kneeling on the ground changed their complexions wildly after seeing the old man, and some even collapsed to the ground.

Wang Yangyang beside Yu Fei also frowned when he saw the old man, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Ziyang?"

Yu Fei waved his hand slightly, and said softly:

"Just look at it."

Wang Yangming frowned even tighter.

Yang Xu, who returned to the palace, looked at Yu Fei, and after seeing Yu Fei nodding, he bowed to the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, on the day the late emperor passed away, Elder Yu Ge felt suspicious. The late emperor was upright and prosperous, how could he suddenly fall ill? Elder Ge ordered his subordinates to investigate secretly."

"After investigating His Majesty's dietary records for the past six months, I found that the little eunuch who tried dishes for His Majesty would be transferred away for various reasons every ten days and a half months, and someone would be rearranged. Following this clue, I investigated When it comes to these dispatches, they are all arranged by the Chief Internal Supervisor Laixi."

Kneeling on the ground, a eunuch who was beaten so hard to distinguish, struggled and shouted when he heard himself being mentioned:

"Your servant is wronged. I don't know that they are so bold. I am wronged."

Yang Xu ignored it and continued:
"I followed the clues and found that there was a big problem with Guanglu Temple, which was responsible for the diet of the first emperor. After getting the consent of Yu Ge, I arrested all the officials of Guanglu Temple. After some torture, I found out that this It is a long-planned assassination, involving countless people, it has been planned since half a year ago, and officially started three months ago, and the mastermind..."

Speaking of which, Yang Xu pointed at the old man with a high crown who was lying on the ground trembling non-stop and shouted:
"The mastermind is this contemporary Duke Yan Sheng, Kong Jianwei."

"half year ago?"

The Empress Dowager Xia was a little stunned, looking at Kong Jianwei below in disbelief and said:
"Half a year ago when you entered the capital court, the late emperor cried out that the late emperor was kind enough to grant you ten hectares of land to sacrifice to. For this reason, Mr. Yuge complained. Is this how you repay the late emperor?"
