I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 380 The Horrible Court
Zhao Xi has been in a state of withdrawn soul these past few days, as if nothing can enter his mind.

I kept thinking in my mind... Dad didn't see him at the last moment!
Even though Old Chen Lin had told him that after he left Yanfu Palace, the official family fell asleep, and it was only when he turned the official family over for the second time that he realized that the official family had already done well.

But Zhao Xi still got into that night.

That night, when Zhao Xi heard the bad news, he arranged to notify the governor in an orderly manner, and also clearly warned everyone that they must take good care of the empress.

But when he arrived at Yanfu Palace and saw his father's shriveled body, he couldn't get his mind back.

Zhao Xi knew very well that he was not the Zhao Xi of this era, and he was not really a father and son with this father, at least not in soul, but he just couldn't restrain the sadness.

I have always been in a state of ignorance.

Even Zhi Zai has changed his name, he is also confused... He is already an official.

On the night when the old man disappeared, when the stewards entered the inner garden, they confirmed that the old man was indeed Daxing.All the executives directly address him as His Majesty...

The inheritance of the throne is very plain, but Zhao Xi feels very awkward.As if he was in a hurry to take over the position, the old man had just left here, and his address was immediately called His Majesty.

At that time, Zhao Xi's mind was empty, and he didn't pay attention at all. After he calmed down, the edict had been written, and the empress had already sealed the emperor's seal in place of him who was grieving, and was ready to announce it to the world.

Your Majesty is grieving because of the late emperor's great deed... This is the consensus of the entire Neiyuan and even the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall.

In fact, Zhao Xi was dazed and confused.

Zhao Xi has a reputation of being extremely filial, and the refusal to abdicate at the beginning was a manifestation of true filial piety, not letting the late emperor take the blame...

Afterwards, Zhao Xi became a puppet to be manipulated casually.

The former emperor was on the throne, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the court has complete etiquette. All the procedures are recorded in the Ministry of Rites. Even if Zhao Xi finds it awkward, he can only accept it... It seems that this matter has not changed.

Niangniang has become empress dowager, Taoniang has become empress, Su and Duan are concubines respectively... It seems that the Political Affairs Hall has discussed all these with him, and some people seem to say that His Majesty's inner court is a bit deserted.

Zhao Xi agreed, anyway, he didn't want to change... At this time, the most correct way is to obey and follow.

Si Tianjian has confirmed the auspicious day of the zodiac...well, any day will do.Zhao Xi has no objection that the enthronement ceremony must be held within one month of the first emperor's visit.

Send envoys to inform the surrounding countries... Well, this is just like the congratulatory messages of later generations, that's what it means.

"Heinous crimes are unforgivable. The Taizu once ruled that officials who violated the law and received wealth are not included in the pardon. What crimes do the officials think need to be added as unpardonable crimes?"

Amnesty to the world is a fixed procedure for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

Zhao Xi disagrees with this the most, but this stall is still a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is impossible for him to change it.

"Follow the old rules."

There are too many things that Zhao Xi wants to change, but Zhao Xi knows that there cannot be any changes at this time.

It's not just that it doesn't make much sense to change the details. The key is that he doesn't want to alert the court as soon as he takes the throne, let alone not wanting to change now. Within three years of being in power, he will not disturb any system of the court.

"Your Majesty, now the railway and water transportation are almost connected to all the counties and prefectures of the country. The old minister thinks that all ministers and workers above the fifth rank of the country should participate in the grand ceremony of His Majesty's ascension to the throne."

The accession of the new emperor heralds the advent of a new era.

As for His Majesty's ascension to the throne, in Fu Bi's view, it may be to usher in a truly new era.

When His Majesty was still the crown prince, he had already used his wisdom to bring the country to a road of gradual prosperity.

The new emperor is worthy of the court's mobilization.

"This is a matter of discretion, as long as it does not delay the official affairs of the state capitals. There is no need to limit the official ranks. The imperial court will agree on the number of state capitals to observe the ceremony. The specific people who will participate in the enthronement ceremony, except for the state capital officials, will be determined by the state itself. "

"In addition, the enthronement ceremony can be allocated some places as appropriate to various walks of life in the country. For example, scholars, such as merchants, such as village elders. Of course, the court should also invite veterans who have retired to the throne to observe the ceremony as appropriate."

This is Zhao Xi's only suggestion for the entire enthronement ceremony.

It's not that Zhao Xi wants to show off and show off. Since it's an appearance, he should simply expand the range.

It is completely in line with the intention of Zhengshitang, and it is wider, giving everyone more authority.

The old man has already been buried in the ground, that is to say, after the old man was buried in the ground, Zhao Xi can be regarded as recovering, and his thinking can be regarded as normal.

Next is my own era, how to make this era more brilliant is what I should consider.

This is a glorious era, but also a sad reminder.

It has created unprecedented prosperity, but at the same time bears unprecedented humiliation.

All of this needs to be changed by oneself.How to develop the rich and the strong in a balanced way, how to coordinate the development of the civil and military forces...there is a long way to go.

When it comes to the new emperor's enthronement, the monarchs and ministers seem to be condescending, or they are all testing.

Zhao Xi took a symbolic look at what was decided in the Political Affairs Hall, and even if there was an opinion, it passed vaguely.

Whatever His Majesty thought, to a certain extent, the Zhengshitang also passed by with eyes closed.

For example, Zhao Xi mentioned the ceremonies for scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce. Although the Political Affairs Hall felt that it was inappropriate, it did not expressly object.

The affairs of the new emperor's ascension to the throne are carried out in a chaotic order... This kind of thing, as long as the ceremony is not completed, it will never be ready, and when the ceremony is completed, everything will be ready.

All big ceremonies are like that.

……

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Sitting high on the steps, Zhao Xi looked at the densely packed civil servants and military generals in the Daqing Palace... At this moment, he was really a little drifting, this is the feeling of being king, no, it's not a feeling, it's the truth.

Next, the envoys from various countries congratulated the new emperor on his enthronement. This is a procedure, which is very boring. Zhao Xi pretended to be solemn and responded enthusiastically.

His thoughts were all on the list of spectators.

Fu Bi, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi, Wang Anshi... This is the first sequence.

Wang Gui, Zeng Gong, Lu Gongzhu, Han Zhen, Su Song, Fan Chunren, Lu Dafang, Wang Shao, Cai Que, Lu Huiqing... this is the second series.

Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, Han Zhongyan, Xue Xiang, Li Jie, Shen Kuo, Su Shi, Su Zhe... This is the third sequence.

Zhao Xi looked at these names, and bursts of blood rushed to his head... This is his own court, and if anyone is mentioned casually, they will be resounding throughout the ages.

This court is really not fun!
Anyway, it was an era when famous ministers were concentrated, so why was it an era that was criticized by later generations?

Look at the list of spectators again... There are really very few generals, just like the previous dynasty, there are very few generals who can be passed down through the ages.

According to the memories of later generations, he was only familiar with Di Qing, Guo Kui, Chong Er and a few others...

For Zhao Xi, how to balance civil and military affairs in such a court dominated by terrifying civil servants is indeed not easy.
