Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 70

May [-]th, the day after Zhu Yuanzhang was buried.

Fengtianmen went to court early in the morning, and the military attachés headed by Wei Guogong Xu Huizu jointly submitted a form of persuasion to advance, and began the first persuasion to advance.

The eunuch delivered the memorial to the royal table. Zhu Di slowly opened it and read it carefully.

"Emperor Daxing Bintian has ordered His Highness to establish the throne as soon as possible. All the people of Haiyu are looking forward to it. The world cannot be without a king for a day, and the people cannot be without a master for a day. I hope that Your Highness will abide by the forefathers' will and less restrain his sorrow. For the sake of the country's far-reaching yóu, we will determine the clan's great plans, ascend the throne as soon as possible, and permanently consolidate the imperial throne. The ministers and others will bow down to the palace and join forces to persuade the emperor to advance."

After Zhu Di read the memorial, he responded: "Gu Yu is in pain all the time, Fang Yin Wu Nei, destroying the succession, how can he bear to say what he said, and refuse to agree to what he asked."

Zhu Gaoxu stood at the first place of His Majesty, the position closest to the emperor in the Fengtian foyer.

He listened to Zhu Diwen's solemn words, felt the solemn atmosphere, and found that the sense of ritual sometimes displayed by ancient rituals could indeed cleanse people's hearts.

In fact, Zhu Di was already considered the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty after inheriting the throne according to the imperial edict before his death.

The ministers did not need to take any extra steps and jointly wrote a form of persuasion.

However, Zhu Di did not officially hold the enthronement ceremony for the emperor. The ministers now persuaded him to come in, which was tantamount to cooperating with Zhu Di to go through the ceremony of three concessions, so that the court could hold the new emperor's enthronement ceremony as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, the process of giving three concessions before a new monarch ascends the throne takes several days to complete.

However, this moment and that moment.

As a result, civil servants headed by Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, jointly submitted another form of persuasion to move in and began the second round of persuasion.

Zhu Di took the second memorial from the eunuch, opened it gently, and scanned it.

"I prostrate myself at the foot of the palace and join together to urge people to advance. However, the world cannot be without a king for a day, and a sacred weapon cannot be without a master for a day. Your Highness is entrusted by the Emperor Daxing and is the supporter of gods and men. It is appropriate to accept it immediately. How can we tolerate any delay? And The emperor's great filial piety places emphasis on good succession and puts Guangxu religion first. His Highness Fuwang rarely suppresses his sorrow and obeys the people's aspirations. He follows the orders of the great emperor and then ascends to the throne of heaven, so that the three spirits and hundreds of gods can be included. He is loved and relied on, and all the countries in the four directions can rely on him. This is the great plan of the country and the best wish of his subjects."

After Zhu Di read the memorial, he responded: "Gu Fang is in pain, and he is mourning and feeling guilty all day long. How can he bear to hear about the succession and refuse to agree to the request."

Later, the civil servants and military attachés present bowed down together and shouted in unison to persuade them to advance for the third time.

"His Royal Highness Fu Wang carried out the great entrustment entrusted by the Emperor, thinking about the difficulties of founding a country and starting a business, and bowed to public opinion. He went to Chenji early to worship the Lord of heaven, earth and people, to comfort the hearts of all living beings in the sea, and to create peace for thousands of years. I, you and others According to Li Dan's wishes, he bowed down and worshiped at the foot of the palace."

Zhu Di was silent for a moment and responded: "You are worried about the country, loyal to the country, and your sincerity is beyond words. However, my son has suffered a misfortune from his family, and my husband and wife are guilty. How can I bear to hear about the matter of succession and refuse to allow it?" .”

Seeing that all the civil and military officials were lying on the ground, the princes headed by King Zhou jointly submitted the fourth form of persuasion.

Zhu Di took the fourth memorial from the eunuch and read it very carefully.

"Father, I have issued an imperial edict from Emperor Bintian, instructing His Royal Highness the Fourth Brother to assume the throne of the Emperor. The people must not live without an owner, and the sacred weapons must not be left for a while. His Highness the Fourth Brother should accept it immediately and enthrone the great treasure to preside over the worship of the gods of heaven and earth." , to comfort the hearts of all the surnames in the ancestral temple. The ministers are the same as the closest relatives, and the words are combined to invite them. They look forward to the meaning of the ancestors, and the entrustment is long, that is, they are the ninth and fifth honors, and the subordinates have the hope of billions of trillions. They are good at continuing to describe it for a long time. I heard that there will be peace for thousands of years.”

After reading the table, Zhu Di closed it gently, then looked down at the civil and military officials and princes in Fengtian Gate, and spoke loudly.

"Only for our country, I will unite the Chinese and barbarians and establish a clan. Sincerely remembering the difficulty of starting a business and the importance of the emperor's legacy, I will encourage him to enthrone the emperor in accordance with public opinion. Your Ministry of Rites will choose a day and set out the ceremony to hear it. "

After hearing this, all the ministers understood that the ceremony of three concessions was over. After the Ministry of Rites selected an auspicious day, the enthronement ceremony of the new king would be held.

Of course, they all know that the so-called auspicious day is basically guaranteed to be tomorrow.

After the dispersal.

Zhu Di called Zhu Gaoxu and led a group of cabinet attendants and advisers directly to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Since he had not officially held the enthronement ceremony, he did not move into Qianqing Palace and still lived in Chunhe Palace. Moreover, he did not like to work in his residence, so he went to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss government affairs with advisors.

"I have met His Majesty the Father (my Emperor)."

After entering the palace, Zhu Gaoxu and a group of advisers bowed in front of Zhu Di and bowed in salute.

"Don't be too polite."

Zhu Di raised his chin, pursed his lips, and motioned for Zhu Gaoxu to sit down.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "I dare not sit down."

"Do we need this false courtesy between father and son?"

Zhu Di said displeasedly: "If I tell you to sit down, just sit down!"

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to sit down honestly.Today, all the cabinet advisers were at the court to persuade them to come forward. After the court was dismissed, they were all summoned to Wenyuan Pavilion by Zhu Di.

The cabinet advisers headed by Xie Jin had different feelings in their hearts as they watched Zhu Gaoxu, who was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, slowly take his seat.

"Sir, please find the memorial of the reign name prepared by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and present it to the Crown Prince for review."

After Zhu Gaoxu sat down, Zhu Di then looked at Jie Jin, the head of the advisors, who was standing in the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, and gave instructions.

The great gentry named Jie Jin, nicknamed Chunyu, was from Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture, and he wrote well in small regular script.

After hearing Zhu Di's order, he and other advisors piled the memorials of hundreds of officials on the table one by one, and then found the memorials Zhu Di mentioned.

"Gao Xu, what do you think of the Yongle reign?"

When Zhu Gaoxu was reading the memorial, Zhu Di asked quite directly.

After Xie Jin and other advisers heard this, although they all had something to say, they did not dare to interrupt because Zhu Di was not asking them.

"This matter can be decided by my father, and I have no objections."

Zhu Gaoxu thought about his words for a moment, and then answered respectfully.

He had no objection, which meant that he had no objection.

"In that case, then choose Yongle as next year's reign name."

Zhu Di clenched his hands and made a decision.

Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and drafted more than a dozen reign names for selection, but he fell in love with Yongle at a glance.

Even though there was a note behind the era name, he didn't care that some local separatist forces had used this era name in the past.

Zhu Di knew for a long time that Zhu Gaoxu had understood the miraculous prophecy.

After he moved into the East Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang told him the miraculous prophecies and six major strategies that Zhu Gaoxu had learned from the "Huangji Jingshi Shu".

Although Zhu Di once extremely doubted the authenticity of this matter, the accurate prediction of "Qin Jin succeeds Yan Nanfei" is difficult to explain with common sense, so he is more willing to believe that the prediction is true.

If he sets Yongle as his reign name, he can comply with the prophecy and become the prophesied Yongle Emperor.

"Do you have any other suggestions?"

Zhu Di looked around at the cabinet advisers present and asked.

Xie Jin and others knew that Zhu Di's words were a courtesy inquiry and a bit perfunctory, but they had to answer seriously.

"Reporting to your majesty, as far as I know, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the former Lianghuan King Zhang Chonghua used the reign name 'Yongle'. During the Song Dynasty, the leader of the rebel army Fang La also used this reign name. Therefore, I ask your majesty to consider this and make another decision. Make decisions.”

Xie Jin was the leader of the advisors, so he was the first to answer.

Huang Huai followed closely behind, bowed out of the queue, and added respectfully: "During the Southern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, Zhang Yuxian, the leader of the Xunzhou Rebel Army, also used this title."

When Zhu Di heard this, he seemed displeased. He looked at Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi and others and asked, "What are your opinions?"

"Returning to your majesty, I believe that Yongle has the meaning of 'the world will always be peaceful and all the people will be happy'. Since our Ming Dynasty has unified the world and is not comparable to the local power of a mere isolated corner, there is nothing wrong with using this title." Yang Shiqi said in agreement.

Hu Guang came out and said: "I second the proposal."

Jin Youzi, Yang Rong and Hu Yan said in unison: "I second the proposal."

Zhu Di's eyebrows showed a hint of joy, he nodded and said: "Xie Jin, Huang Huai, do you two have anything else to say?"

"I don't dare!" Xie Jin and Huang Huai said respectfully.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu again, then looked around at the advisors, and said loudly: "The reign name is 'Yongle', that's it!"
