My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 33 The new emperor is born
"Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe and the cabinet officials invite the crown prince to enter the Wenhua Palace through Dong'an Gate and enthrone on a certain date!"

Outside the capital, hundreds of officials welcome you!
All the battalions of the Beijing army came out in full force.

The knights holding the flags galloped one after another on the road from the capital to Liangxiang.

The soldier stood there, it was noon, the sun was high above his head, and the armor on both sides of the road blocked out the sun!
Horse hooves were beating outside the car window, and thousands of troops and horses were galloping towards them at the same time.

The horses' hooves trampled the earth, as if the earth was shaking.

Listening to the cabinet decree read loudly by the Ministry of Ceremony outside the car window.

Zhu Houcong looked at the old man with a white beard in front of him, his expression was as usual, and he said with a smile.

"It seems that before I even enter the capital, someone wants to give me a showdown!"

The person in front of him was none other than Yuan Zonggao, who was the envoy to Jiangxi at the time and the former chief historian of the royal palace.

Different from Xie Changjie, he was a minister of King Xingxian's Qiandi. During the Hongzhi period, he followed King Xingxian to conquer Anlu.

He was a confidant of King Xingxian and was deeply trusted by everyone in the palace. Naturally, as soon as the edict of Zhu Houcong's succession was announced to the world, Mother Jiang sent someone to quickly call him back from Jiangxi.

"When Your Majesty succeeds to the throne, he inherits the teachings of Taizu from above and the hearts of all people below. All the subjects of the world look eastward and eagerly hope that destiny will be fulfilled. How can a few unruly people in the court stop it."

Yuan Zonggao in front of him was talking eloquently, but he was all flattering Zhu Houcong.

What a coincidence, I love hearing this!
In fact, Yuan Zonggao himself was in trouble.

He believed that he was not a sycophant who relied on sweet words to deceive the emperor, but now it seemed that the situation Zhu Houcong encountered was too difficult.

Empress Dowager Zhang controlled the harem, Yang Tinghe was in power, and the local vassal kings were also ready to take action.

Moreover, the emperor is still young, what if he suffers a setback one day and quits in anger.

You must know that the imperial edict has been spread throughout the world.

If it really comes to that point, it will make the imperial court a laughing stock in front of the world.

This made the officials who greeted him reach a tacit agreement in silence.

It’s better to be more encouraging when treating the little emperor!

Lest everyone be unable to get off the stage.

At this time, Luo An came outside Zhu Houcong's car.

Zhu Houcong nodded.

Luo An understood this and immediately galloped towards Lan Zhang, the Minister of Rites, who was delivering the order.

He yelled loudly.

"The Crown Prince's oral message: The posthumous decree states that my heir is the emperor, not the prince!"

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe on the city wall clenched his fists subconsciously.

Obviously a little nervous.

Jiang Mian beside him couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat.

I was afraid that the two of them would have a conflict in front of the public.

"Besides, destiny has changed, and the survival of the imperial power is my family's business! How dare you, a cabinet minister, to speak nonsense about the imperial throne? Do you have the Queen Mother's decree?"

Luo An returned to his horse and once again scolded the civil and military officials in front of him:
"Is there any decree from the Queen Mother?"

Yes, whether the emperor should be adopted by the Empress Dowager Zhang, whether the emperor should call Xiaozong father or uncle, and whether he should call his biological father father or uncle are all Zhu family affairs.

It's not like changing the emperor, so there's no reason for the cabinet to even intervene in this matter.

If you want to intervene, you must have the Queen Mother's decree!

But...what about the Queen Mother's decree?

At this time, Yang Tinghe realized that something was wrong when he saw that Luo An called the Director of Ceremonies several times but no one answered.

Where are the agreed upon Queen Mother Yizhi and Queen Mother Zhang's interpretation of the emperor's edict now?
But he didn't know that in the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived, Queen Mother Zhang looked at the snake-shaped jade pendant that had just been sent outside the palace by an unknown person.

It is the one worn by his younger brother Zhang Yanling.

Yang Tinghe's envoy outside the palace kept silent as he cried and begged one after another.

Something happened to Zhang Yanling!

Moreover, it still fell into the hands of the little emperor.

Looking at the several burnt fish scales that came with the letter.

Throughout the letter, Zhu Houcong sincerely expressed his condolences for the unfortunate disappearance of the Queen Mother's brother, and expressed his determination to find the murderer. However, at the end, he expressed the hope that the Queen Mother would calm down and not overreact, which angered the gangsters and broke up the vote. Not good.

In response to this naked threat, Queen Mother Zhang could only lose her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

She has two younger brothers, the second brother Zhang Heling and the third brother Zhang Yanling.

If one person dies, half of the old Zhang family's bloodline will be cut off.

Moreover, looking at the scale on the case, she was even more worried about the fate of the sharks who had been in contact with the Zhang family.

If even those sharks encountered unexpected events——

This made her a little jealous of Zhu Houcong.

She couldn't figure out who was behind the protection of the little emperor. Before controlling the harem for decades, she had honed her skills and forbearance. She would never be like her brother who had not made any progress in decades without knowing anything. Take action rashly.

"Tell Yang Shen that I have a headache today. It is inconvenient to see outsiders, let alone deliver orders. If anything happens, please ask Yang Hanlin to come back another day!"

Outside the palace, Yang Shen, who was the editor of the Hanlin Academy at the time and the son of the chief minister, only felt ironic when he heard the eunuch's oral instructions from the Queen Mother Zhang.

Yang Tinghe fought on the front line with the little emperor for the position of Queen Mother Zhang, but when the matter came to an end, Queen Mother Zhang regretted it!
Yang Shen could already imagine how miserable the outcome would be for a chief minister with a reputation for power and power in front of the world if things didn't work out today.

Thinking of this, Yang Shen suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went dark.

……

Luo An turned around several times, and all the officials fell to the ground, holding their breath and concentrating, but no one said a word.

Even the eunuchs who were subordinate to Empress Dowager Zhang and were subordinates to Luo An, acted as if they were mute and allowed Luo An to call the formation.

Seeing this, Liang Chu and Mao Cheng, who were following the fight, both changed their expressions.

but--

Unlike Mao Cheng, Liang Chu was shocked on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart. Although he didn't know what went wrong on the Queen Mother's side, today was a God-given opportunity to defeat Yang.

"Any order issued by the cabinet must be unanimously voted by the cabinet members! Why was no one ever informing me about entering Dong'anmen with the ceremony of crown prince!"

After saying that, the old man immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Houcong.

"There must be some villain who is obstructing what happened today. Please don't listen to the slander and misunderstand the chief minister and the cabinet ministers!"

Seeing Liang Chu rebelling on the spot, Mao Chengxin said that the script was wrong.Didn't we agree when we arrived that when we got to the imperial city, we and the chief assistant would attack from inside and outside with the Queen Mother's decree?

Can the little emperor be named Empress Dowager Zhang by just three strokes, five divisions and two?

But he has been an important minister of the Six Ministries for many years!But his reaction was not slow at all!

He immediately realized that no matter what, Yang Tinghe's power would no longer be the same after today, so he immediately knelt down along with Liang Chu.

"The Holy Ming of the Emperor! I and Mr. Liang Ge were ordered to welcome you, but you really don't know about this!"

Zhu Houcong quickly got out of the car and helped him personally.

So comforting.

It can be regarded as accepting the allegiance of the two people.

A scene where the king and his ministers know each other.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Chu turned around and glanced at the officials present.

Immediately after he had been in power for more than forty years, his disciples and old friends immediately understood each other.

The leader was none other than Zheng Lian, the Censor of the Inspectorate. Knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor, he immediately took the lead in urging him to come forward.
"I have long heard that in the first year of Your Majesty's birth, the Yellow River was clear for three hundred miles for three days. I heard that the Yellow River was clear and a saint came out. His life coincided with the prosperous meeting. When he got a saint, he was benevolent, filial, respectful, intelligent, and respectful. The virtue of a saint is to follow the will of heaven and the people when he succeeds to the throne! The ministers and ministers advised your majesty to die and moved the carriage to Daming Gate. According to the stories of the brothers and brothers of the ancient saint kings and the instructions of Taizu, he succeeded to the throne in Fengtian Hall. !”

After hearing this, everyone around them secretly cursed this guy for being stinky and shameless.

But seeing Yang Tinghe's defeat, he immediately rushed to remonstrate in order not to be considered by the young emperor to be the chief auxiliary of the party and be liquidated later.

"Mr. Liang Ge is right! There must be a treacherous villain secretly instigating it! Your Majesty is aware of it!"

"I risk my own life to have an audience, and urge Your Majesty to travel and accept the homage of hundreds of officials in the capital! Accept the destiny as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Please also ask the Emperor to accept our worship!"

Listening to the noise outside, Zhu Houcong had a smile on his face.

Yuan Zonggao on the side was dumbfounded.

What the hell?Cabinet ministers, six ministers, and hundreds of officials in Beijing have voted now?

Did you agree to rely on the chief assistant and the queen mother to have a good fight with the emperor?

Ignore Yuan Zonggao who is a little doubtful about life.

Zhu Houcong got out of the car and was helped onto the horse by Luo An and many guards whose eyes were shining with excitement and ecstasy.

Accept the worship of hundreds of officials surrounded by everyone!
Liang Chu and Mao Cheng, as civil servant representatives, hurriedly dismounted to greet him.

It was another familiar performance of three concessions.

While Zhu Houcong was pretending to be evasive.

Liang Chu gave a look.

Zheng Lian immediately understood and shouted long live, leading thousands of civil and military officials in Beijing to kneel down at that time!
"Long live your visit!"

Following the officials, more than 1 Beijing Army soldiers responsible for the escort also knelt down, although they were not notified in advance.

The first to kneel down were the officers and soldiers of the Fenwu Camp commanded by Jiang's mother's younger brother, Jiang Ding.

Listening to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami in my ears.

Everyone present knew that no matter what, the situation was decided!
Even if Emperor Zhengde is resurrected, it cannot be changed!

The new emperor of the empire has been born!

Zhu Houcong sighed, and under the pressure of death and hard persuasion from officials such as Liang Chu and Mao Cheng, he reluctantly answered.

"You are recommended by all the people, but you don't dare to refuse. You don't dare to refuse, but you reluctantly comply with the request."

Luo An, who was beside him, immediately got on his horse and led everyone in the palace around the civil and military officials to shout.

"Your Majesty said: It is recommended by all the people! Do not dare to refuse! Do not dare to refuse! Reluctantly comply with the request!"

Then, there was another burst of cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!

"I respectfully request the Emperor to move to Daming Gate!"

Liang Chu took the lead in shouting this time.

"I sincerely invite the emperor to welcome you to Daming Gate!"

Hundreds of officials attached their invitation.

The convoy moves to Damingmen!
Seeing the majestic motorcade in front of him, accompanied by bursts of cheers from civil and military officials, the accompanying ceremony officials played music directly to celebrate the new emperor, Yang Tinghe only felt dizzy.

At this moment, he finally experienced the so-called feeling in history books of betrayal and separation.

The cabinet minister beside him, Jiang Mian, wanted to help him, but Yang Tinghe dodged him.

He looked at the Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion next to him who had just looked at the scene below the city, his eyes clearly wandering.

He smiled bitterly as if he was mocking himself.

"It's me who is obsessed with power. Don't let Mr. Jiang Ge be misled by me! Go to Daming Gate to greet him!"

Hearing this, Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

When leaving, he bowed deeply to Yang Tinghe.

"The First Assistant is loyal to the country. If Jiang Mian has the opportunity, he will definitely explain the First Assistant's difficulties to His Majesty."

Yo!We haven’t entered the city yet!This is your Majesty!

Yang Tinghe naturally didn't believe Jiang Mian's words.

As a long-time headliner in the officialdom for decades, he knew very well that if Jiang Mian did not add insult to injury by stepping on himself to please the new emperor, he would already be very moral among the cabinet officials.

Jiang Mian left in a hurry, and Yang Shen came in a hurry!

As soon as they met, this talented man from the Ming Dynasty asked hurriedly.

"Dad, where are you going?"

"Where?"

Yang Tinghe glanced around, but the officials who had been so affectionate just now looked at him like a god of plague.

He was afraid that he would be called over, get involved, and be labeled as a Yang Party member by others.

He smiled wryly.

"Where are you going? Go back to your home! Congratulate the new emperor! Write your resignation!"
