My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 343 The new king ascends the throne (end of main text)

"Your Highness, here is the latest case file seized, including a Duke, seven Marquises, and two Ministers...the rest of the people implicated are no less than a thousand people."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jingchang presented a thick dossier to Zhu Gaochi with both hands.

Zhu Gaochi just glanced at it, and then said: "Cousin, you sit down first, let's talk about something else... something more important."

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and said, "I'm about to accept my father's abdication and become the Son of Heaven... Kyushu, Wanfang, and billions of people will all fall on my shoulders."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Highness has thick shoulders, so he can carry it naturally."

Zhu Gaochi changed his color slightly, and said in a low voice: "Common people often say that a hero has three gangs, and a fence has three stakes. In such a big world, I really can't do it alone, and I need capable leaders."

He reached out and pressed Xu Jingchang's shoulder, "You have to help me!"

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand what Your Highness means."

That's all he said, he didn't go any further.

Zhu Gaochi paused and didn't say anything more.

"Then you go back first, I'll take a look at these files."

Xu Jingchang agreed, got up and left.

Zhu Gaochi flipped through it for a while, his time was too hasty, there were too many things to prepare for accepting his father's abdication, Zhu Gaochi could only glance at the final conclusion in a hurry, and then put it aside.

This case file is the key to his new monarch's prestige and revolution in the world.

After Zhu Gaochi knew it, he went to see Zhu Di again.

Zhu Di looked at his son, and said as soon as he opened his mouth, "Father doesn't like you very much."

Zhu Gaochi was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, I may not like you either!
Zhu Di said again: "But let me tell you what kind of person can be a good son of heaven... I can't say, so I will give you the throne... But listen carefully, If you don't do it well, I may abolish you at any time!"

Zhu Gaochi shuddered all over, this was probably the most vicious declaration of the Zen position in the past and present.

"Son...keep it in mind."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi again, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can step back."

Zhu Gaochi turned around and left awkwardly. When he went out, grandson Zhu Zhanji just came in. Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something, but Zhu Zhanji ignored him at all and went in directly.

"This bastard is becoming more and more disobedient."

Zhu Gaochi complained, and could only arrange other things...Jian Yi, Yang Rong...the two important ministers came to see Zhu Gaochi together.

"Your Highness, this time it is His Majesty's abdication, father and son inheritance, and the harmony of the heavenly family, there is no need for three words and three concessions, as long as His Highness formally bows to the Son of Heaven, thanks the Emperor for his grace, accepts the decree, receives the jade seal, and then goes to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. officially inherit the throne."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, but then said: "After inheriting the great rule, do I need to tell the world about my method of governing the country?"

The two adults immediately said: "This matter is natural, and the Ministry of Rites will formulate it on its own."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "Of course I know this, but in my opinion, the content of the enthronement edict is secondary. I am going to read it to the people of the world at Fengtianmen, and tell everyone that I will never change my resolve and never give up! When I abdicate, I will announce it to the world again, and let the people test it to see if it is true.”

"This..." Jian Yi was taken aback, "Your Highness, it seems unnecessary."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Which one is Jian Shangshu talking about? With the merits of the emperor, how can I sit on the dragon chair all the time if the Zen seat is given to me?"

Jian Yi was dumbfounded, speechless... He suddenly felt that Zhu Di seemed to have extraordinary considerations for this meditation position. Although he had thought about it a lot, now it seems that he still thinks this matter is simple. up.

Frankly speaking, if Zhu Yuanzhang had abdicated in advance and given Zhu Yunqi a little time to practice after he established his grandson, perhaps there would not be a battle of Jingnan.

If a routine can be formed, in the long run, the Ming Dynasty can really avoid the situation where the master and the country are suspicious... Perhaps this is the last shortcoming of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty has also plugged it.

"Your Highness... what I mean by the minister, it seems that there is no need to say anything to the people, or, the Secretary of General Administration will rule the world?" Jian Yi tried to suggest.

However, Zhu Gaochi didn't like to listen at all. He shook his head violently, "Since ancient times, the emperor has appointed hundreds of officials to guard the world. The emperor is the lord of all officials, and all officials are the blue sky of all people. Only my emperor Taizu, with the support of all people, expelled the Tartars. , to rejuvenate China. I am the Son of Tomorrow, and I want to cherish the common people."

Zhu Gaochi paused and said again: "Swearing an oath to the people this time may not be able to do anything, it's just a process... But if you can't even go through this process, it would be a pity."

Jian Yi was at a loss for words, and Yang Rong couldn't say a word...

This seemingly frail and honest Zhu Gaochi is not so easy to manipulate!

"Would you like to meet Duke Ding and ask him what he means?"

Jian Yi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

At this time, the truth cannot be separated from Xu Jingchang's management.

But what was strange was that Xu Jingchang avoided seeing him and didn't want to ask at all.

This puzzled Jian Yi and the others.

If Xu Jingchang didn't pay attention, he could only go to Yao Guangxiao... But at this time, Master Yao was ill.

The old monk returned to the temple and lived in peace and prosperity.

The entire Ming Dynasty was in a very strange situation.

No one can figure it out, what will happen next when the new king succeeds to the throne?
"What else can I do? I think I set three goals at the beginning!" Xu Jingchang glanced at his wife and said with a smile, "Do you know?"

Huang Yunfang said with a chuckle: "Who doesn't know? You think about listening to music in Qinhuai, fishing in Xuanwu Lake, watching stars in Zijin Mountain... how many times have I heard it?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "That's right, I heard that a troupe of Kunqu Opera has come recently...just in time to learn."

Huang Yunfang smiled and said, "I'm afraid the Duke hasn't heard of it yet...Kunqiang, this thing is too high-brow, not many people like it. I held a few shows in Yingtian, and I didn't even earn back the money for the meal."

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he was shocked, "How is this possible? The Ming Dynasty needed some elegant things to show our uniqueness. How can we disappear just because the common people don't like it? That's not okay! We need subsidies. Kunqiang became the quintessence of Ming Dynasty."

Huang Yunfang paused, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid my father will be very happy with the Duke's arrangement."

"That's right, our tastes are the same, we are equal!"

"I hope it's about taste."

Xu Jingchang said again: "Does our family have any money left?"

Huang Yunfang was startled, "Are you really going to do that?"

"What's the matter? I'm going to buy a boat and go fishing... What do you think?"

Huang Yunfang blushed slightly, and then gave Xu Jingchang a hard look, "You're cheating... Don't worry, I won't buy you a big boat!"

In a word, Xu Jingchang lost a big ship, and his wife can't be offended.

"Then I'll get another observatory and find time to look at the stars."

Huang Yunfang smiled and said: "You can say whatever you want, no one will stop you. But there is one more thing. Will the new king let the Duke go when he ascends the throne? I'm afraid you will have more government affairs!"

Xu Jingchang chuckled and said, "This is not something he can decide."

Xu Jingchang was full of confidence, and the matter did not exceed his control... Zhu Gaochi accepted the abdication and inherited the throne.

When he became the emperor, he immediately issued a decree to severely punish officials and businessmen who committed crimes, and forbid favoritism and fraud.

And in the middle of the case file, it was mentioned that the Secretary of General Administration had neglected his duties in supervision and failed to detect the collusion between corruption and ink early... As the envoy of the General Administration, Xu Jingchang could not absolve himself of the blame, so he was dismissed from the post of Envoy of the General Administration.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback!
I obviously didn't want to dismiss my cousin!
Not really!
I can't do without my cousin now!
Zhu Gaochi was so anxious that he turned around... But this was his first will, and there was no room for redemption.

Just like that, Xu Jingchang finally escaped successfully, it's up to you how much trouble you want to do, anyway, I'm free now.

Get on my boat quickly and take the fishing rod.

Fisherman, unstoppable!

While Xu Jingchang was enjoying fishing, another person was also very satisfied. Zhu Di boarded a huge boat, and Zheng He followed closely beside him.

"Ning Yuanhou, how many soldiers and horses are there this time?"

"Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, the combined strength of the army exceeds [-], which is more than the combined population of many small countries."

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Then what are you waiting for, set sail and go on an expedition to foreign lands!"

　Well... the text part, that's it.Some words are put in the extra chapter... The new book is also being worked on, it won't be too long...
