Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 293 The New Emperor Ascends...Three Fires
The etiquette that was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty after the revival of the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot, but many still follow the rules.

For example, in the posthumous edict of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it was said: After a person belongs to Wan, the funeral will take place on the seventh day.The crown prince assumes the throne of the emperor immediately in front of the coffin. According to the old system of Zhou and Han Dynasty, major military and state affairs cannot be suspended, and ordinary leisure tasks must be assigned to his duties.

It probably means that after my death, the funeral can be held within seven days, and the ancestral temple and the state are still waiting to be managed. The country cannot be without an owner for a day, so according to the practice of the Zhou and Han Dynasties, the crown prince can ascend the throne in front of my coffin, and military and state affairs are important. It must be handled personally, and only ordinary matters are the responsibility of each department.

However, Zhu Gaochi still stayed away from court for three days.

On May [-]th, the third day after the late emperor entered the mausoleum, and the first day Zhu Gaochi resumed his early dynasty, an edict shocked the world.

The fiefdom of King Zhao was moved from Zhangzhou Prefecture to Shenyang. The title remained unchanged and he was still King Zhao.

The whole country was in uproar and shocked.

Shenyang was once the fiefdom of Zhu Mo, the 20th son of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. However, in the sixth year of Yongle, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty moved his fiefdom from Shenyang to Shanxi Province, and the title remained unchanged.

Where is Shenyang?It's next to Jianzhou Guard!

Let's not talk about what it means to change the status of a place like Shenyang, which is next to Nuergandusi, and can even be regarded as Nuergandusi. Just saying that it is next to Jianzhou Wei can explain a lot of problems.

How long had it been since the imperial court had just suppressed the rebellion in Jianzhou?And how did Zhang Fu and Li Bin deal with the Jianzhou rebellion?

To put it bluntly, there is no way for Chenghua Liting to compare.

At this time, Jianzhouwei was really in ruins waiting to be renovated. There is no need to explain what it means to rename this place to King Zhao.

Zhu Gaosui, who left the capital and was preparing to return to his original fiefdom of Zhangzhou Prefecture to pack his things for the new fiefdom, was confused. He has not come back to his senses yet.

Like everyone else, he didn't expect that his elder brother would seal him there.

As soon as the old man passed away, you took your brother away without saying a word, and even moved him to a place where prisoners were exiled.

To put it nicely, it is for the sake of stabilizing the current situation and preventing problems in the court, but if it is said to be unpleasant, your action is no different from eradicating dissidents.

No one expected that the most benevolent and reputation-conscious Crown Prince... no, I should say Emperor Hongxi, would actually do this.

Many people have opinions on this matter, and many people have suggestions, but...

"I understand, is there anything else?"

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head to deal with the piles of memorials on the desk and said without raising his head.

Yang Shiqi below opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, nothing came out.

"Your Majesty." Yang Shiqi did not speak, but Yang Rong did.

However, he did not dare to touch those things that could not be touched.

"The Xiangzhou Mansion has submitted a memorial, saying that the second son of King Han is getting married to the current head of the Qianning Prince's Mansion, Mu Sheng's daughter."

"Are you looking forward to it?" Zhu Gaochi stopped what he was doing and raised his head.

"He is over 20 this year, right? He has been putting off getting married, which is also embarrassing for the second child."

"But we don't have much time now. Tell the second child to wait and let Zhan Qi get married in three years."

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi looked at each other. Neither of them expected Zhu Gaochi to react like this.

"Replying to Your Majesty, His Highness King Wu also explained the matter in his letter, saying that the late emperor had just passed away and was buried. As the heir of the late emperor, he should observe filial piety for three years."

Surprised, but Yang Rong still had to tell the truth.

"In this report, His Highness King Wu said that the matter was serious and involved the lineage of King Wu and the lineage of King Taizu Gao, the adopted son of King Qianning, so he immediately reported it to the capital as soon as he had the intention to confirm the matter. gone."

"Well..." Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.

"The second brother is indeed sensible. He has changed a lot in the past two years, so let's just deal with it."

"Yes……"

"Eh? That's right!" Zhu Gaochi seemed to have thought of something, and raised his head again after lowering it just now.

"Instruct the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although the matter will be postponed until three years later, there is no way to do it. What should be done must still be done."

"The edict should be issued, and the wedding expenses and other expenses must be prepared in advance. Let them get the regulations out as soon as possible, and then send the things to the second child."

"Yes……"

……

Calm returned to the Wenhua Hall. Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi withdrew from the hall and looked at each other. They both saw solemn looks in each other's eyes.

The alliance between King Wu's lineage and King Qianning's lineage was originally an earth-shattering event. Coupled with the current situation...

However, Zhu Gaochi, the newly ascended emperor, had no intention of being anxious, and even asked the Zongren Mansion and other relevant departments to follow normal regulations...

However, the new emperor ascended the throne and had to do far more than that.

The turmoil in King Zhao's fiefdom had not yet passed, and the imperial court issued two more edicts, one more shocking than the other.

First of all, the new emperor ascended the throne and increased the age and salary of all kings.

Everyone knows that the princes of the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Gaoxu’s lineage, except Zhu Zhanhe, the other vassal kings are all subject to the order of Emperor Taizu Gao, "Eat salary without governing affairs, enfeoffment without tin land, rank without rank "people" rules.

That is to say, those who eat dead wages.

This time, Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, and what was increased was the "salary" of the vassal kings.

This increase is not a unified increase, but different for each vassal king. For example, King Zhou added [-] shi, King Ning [-] shi, King Shen [-] shi, etc.

It doesn't seem like much, but one thing is that these increases in salary all have a common word behind them, which is "the true character of the whole branch".

This means that all salaries are real and can be received in full.

In addition to these uncles and so on, the most attention-grabbing thing is the increase in salary for King Wu and King Zhao.

Prince Wu's Mansion received an increase of 20 shi and [-] guan of banknotes. Prince Zhao's Mansion received an increase of [-] dan and [-] guan of banknotes. In addition, there were gold, jewelry and other rewards. These rewards were similar in numbers.

This matter is actually considered normal. After all, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he always has to show his benevolence and righteousness. Everyone, let alone Zhu Gaochi, has to do this.

That's why Jian Wen, after succeeding to the throne, did not increase the salary of the vassal king, but actively reduced the vassal status.

However, the increase in salary for King Wu still surprised many people. After all, the current situation is where Zhu Gaochi has increased King Wu's salary so much.

Although they are blood brothers, as the saying goes, there is a difference between closeness and distance, so it is normal to add a little more. However, compared with King Zhao's annual salary, King Wu's salary is too much.

In addition to this incident, there is another even more shocking incident. In comparison, the incident of increasing the salary of the feudal king seems a bit trivial.

The ocean-going treasure fleet... was stopped!
