I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40

In the early morning of July 22, 23, Li Tian, ​​who was still asleep, was dragged awake.

What came to my ears was Queen Zhang's beautiful voice with three points of urgency.

"Your Majesty, let's get up early, and I will cooperate with Your Majesty to go through the court etiquette again."

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Li Tian yawned again and again, lifted the dragon quilt, got up with a bit of anger and said:

"What time is it?"

Hearing that the emperor's tone was not kind, Empress Zhang hurriedly put a fox fur hood on Li Tian, ​​and said softly:

"Your Majesty, it's a quarter of an hour."

Moment of time?
Isn't it just after five o'clock?
Li Tian rolled his eyes, shook off the smock, returned to the warm bed, closed his eyes and said:

"The sky won't fall, don't call me."

Empress Zhang held the imperial book of the Ministry of Rites in her hand, neither sitting nor standing, finally she could only sigh and tuck the corner of the quilt for the emperor.

Empress Zhang had just finished tucking in the quilt when she saw the door of the apse being pushed open abruptly. Empress Zhang's complexion changed suddenly, and her heart jumped wildly. Today is the court meeting for her majesty's enthronement!
"There are thorns."

As soon as Queen Zhang yelled two words, she swallowed the rest of the words. It wasn't an assassin who came, but Yang Shiqi, a scholar of the Huagaidian University and the first assistant minister of the court.

Yang Shiqi, who was dressed in a bright red official robe and covered with sackcloth, changed his face slightly when he saw Queen Zhang, and hurriedly bowed to apologize:
"The old minister didn't know that the Empress Dowager was also in the side hall, so I begged the Empress Dowager to forgive me."

Empress Zhang was embarrassed and thankful, but luckily she didn't do anything with His Majesty, otherwise there would be a big scandal.

"I just came here, maybe the palace people outside the palace didn't pay attention, so Yang Shoufu doesn't have to."

Yang Shiqi felt a little relieved when he heard the words, the crime of trespassing into the emperor's empress' palace at night, even the chief assistant, he couldn't bear it, luckily the empress just came in.

"Where's Your Majesty? Are you still awake?"

Not forgetting the business, Yang Shiqi asked repeatedly.

Empress Zhang nodded slightly, made room for Yang Shiqi, turned around and walked towards the side door.

Yang Shiqi obviously has something important to report. As a queen, she still has some insight.

As the chief minister, Yang Shiqi was not as gentle as the queen, he shook Li Tian's shoulder vigorously and said:
"Your Majesty, wake up, something serious has happened."

Li Tianzheng dreamed that he and Zhang Qinghuan were going boating on the lake, but Zhang Qinghuan's pretty face suddenly changed to Yang Shiqi's, and he kept jumping up and down, saying that the boat was going to capsize.

Startled, Li Tian hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see Yang Shiqi was really beside him, subconsciously said:

"What ship capsized?"

"Sailboat?" Yang Shiqi couldn't figure it out, and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, don't even think about sailing, the King of Han is training his personal guards outside the Zhengyang Gate."

Outside Zhengyang Gate?Drill the guards?
Li Tian's sleepiness was swept away, he turned over and sat up from the dragon bed in shock, and said anxiously:
"What is the king of Han going to do, rebel?"

Yang Shiqi nodded first, then shook his head, frowning and said:
"The veteran doesn't know, but the head of the Yuma Jianjiang has led the two Jinwu guards and the Habayashi guards. Your majesty might as well issue an order first and order the king of Han to lead his personal guards back to the palace."

Damn it, Li Tian cursed directly, put on the smock, and directly drew out the cold light of the emperor's sword and said:

"Zhu Gaoxu, that bastard, dares to smash Laozi's place today, and Laozi wants his life!"

On the city wall of Zhengyangmen, Li Tian was wearing a fox fur smock, holding the Son of Heaven sword, looking at Zhu Gaoxu who was leading a group of personal guards to practice under the city wall of the imperial city, with a cold look in his eyes, and said with a scornful smile:

"Gao Xu, are you celebrating your brother's enthronement?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked majestic, sat on a tall horse with a sword and armor, and laughed and said:
"I also ask the eldest brother to open the Zhengyang Gate, and the younger brother will congratulate the elder brother face to face."

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu said this, he had already arrived at Zhengyang Gate, and the faces of many ministers who were waiting to enter the imperial city changed drastically. They heard a bit of resentment from Hanwang's words!
Seeing that the officials were about to commotion, Li Tian made a decisive decision, grabbed the hard bow in Jiang Bao's hand, shot through the leg of Zhu Gaoxu's horse with one arrow, and said loudly:

"Zhu Gaoxu, you want to imitate Xuanwumen of Tang Dynasty, and give me a change of Zhengyangmen today?"

Li Tian opened the skylight to speak frankly. The startled officials all knelt down and shouted long live. Zhu Gaoxu also fell off his high horse and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, why did you say such a heart-wrenching sentence? My brother has no such intentions. You can learn from the moon."

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's panic-stricken appearance, Yang Shiqi standing beside Li Tian was overjoyed, bowed his hands and said:

"Your Majesty is mighty, the King of Han's liver and gallbladder are torn, and the court will be safe today."

Li Tian smiled slightly, to deal with such a cowardly idiot like Zhu Gaoxu, he had to use strong medicine, and the medicine killed him as a brainless person.

With a cold snort, Li Tian continued to speak loudly:
"The sun and the moon can learn from each other? Then are you the moon, or am I the moon? It's hard for the bright moon to compete with the scorching sun. I think you, Zhu Gaoxu, think of yourself as Li Shimin."

Li Shimin killed his brother at Xuanwu Gate to force his father to abdicate. Li Tian's big hat can be regarded as scaring Zhu Gaoxu enough.

Cutting off the horse's head with a single blow, Zhu Gaoxu raised his saber with both hands, and said eagerly:
"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to learn from you. I will never imitate what my predecessors said. If I do anything wrong, I will be like this horse."

The ancients attached great importance to oaths. When Zhu Gaoxu made such a poisonous oath, the ministers who originally wanted to support Zhu Gaoxu all sighed secretly and had to give up.

As for the performance of giving up, he shouted like crazy, long live my emperor.

Ren Jin, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, saw that the opportunity was very good at this time, gave Yang Shiqi a wink, stepped up the imperial city wall, held up a roll of yellow satin and said loudly:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

I heard that the fate of the emperor is permanent, and it must be attributed to virtue, so the world is orderly, and the world is peaceful; now there is a new emperor, who is gentle and good-natured.

Inheriting the idea of ​​God's grace to nurture the people, commanding the virtues of the barbarians in all directions, serving as an artifact, revitalizing my dynasty Gang Yongle 22 years July 23, the emperor amnesty the world, changed the Yuan Hongxi, and hereby announce it to the world.

After Ren Jin impassionedly read the enthronement edict, Yang Shiqi, a senior scholar of Huagaidian and first assistant minister, fell to his knees first, shouting long live the emperor.

For a moment, the voices of the imperial city, inside and outside the city walls, shouted long live soared into the sky.

Many people on Zhengyang Street were also infected, and they knelt down on both sides of Zhengyang Street in panic, shouting long live.

Standing on the city wall, Li Tian also held up the Son of Heaven Sword very cooperatively, enjoying the cheers of the officials and the people.

But at the Zhengyang Gate waiting for the honorable officials, a small riot broke out at this time.

"Quickly pass on to the imperial physician, King Jian has passed out."

Zhu Yueqian, king of Shu, shouted anxiously among the people who were strangling Zhu Xunrui desperately.

It's a pity that the voices of the officials and the common people shouting long live are too loud, except for a few vassal kings who came together, no one heard Zhu Yueqian's shout.

"Hey, King Jin has also fainted, please pass it on to the imperial physician."

As Zhu Jixi fell to the ground with a crooked body, Min King Zhu Huiye also joined the team in the pinch.
