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

Chapter 34 The voice outside the door

Fengtian Temple!
Daxing the emperor’s last edict!

Accompanied by hundreds of officials, Zhu Houcong ascended the throne based on the old story of "brothers end with brothers".

And paid homage to the Empress Dowager.

But unlike in history, this time, Mother Jiang and Empress Dowager Zhang were side by side in the palace, and at the same time accepted Zhu Houcong's visit.

This unprecedented situation affected the most, not the civil servants of the previous dynasty, but the eunuchs and eunuchs in the harem.

Originally thought they only had to choose between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

But now, two queen mothers have arrived, and they still don't deal with each other.

Mother Jiang had long hated Empress Dowager Zhang because Yang Tinghe wanted to snatch her son away today.

For a time, people's hearts were divided.

Even Zhang Yong, who was one of the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde" together with Gu Dayong, couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw this.

On the first day after ascending the throne, he was given awards to his close civil and military officials.

"Feng Fenwu Camp Commander Jiang was designated as Marquis of Zhongwu, and he was given the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army Commandery of the Fifth Army Commandery."

"Confess Datong guerrilla Jiang An as Xin Yongbo, and give him the title of Yulin avant-garde commander."

"Luo An, the former Jinyiwei Qianhu, was promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei, in charge of the Beizhen Prefecture and the patrol camp of the officers and cavalry officers."

"The former royal palace Dianzhan, Qianhu Lu Song of the Yulin Vanguard, commanded the envoys of the Yulin Vanguard, and assisted in the collection of Imperial Army supplies."

"Huang Jin, the chief companion of the Imperial Palace, was appointed as the eunuch of the Royal Horse Commission, and Lu Fang, the former eunuch of the Royal Horse Commission, was appointed as the Supervisor of Ceremonies..."

"As a posthumous gift to Xie Changjie, the late Zuo Changshi of the palace..."

When Lu Fang, who was delivering the decree, said this, everyone looked sad.

But Lu Bing may have been taught a lesson by his father Lu Song before the ceremony.

He said that if he dared to make any mistakes, he would pull out his skin.

At this time, he looked like he had exerted too much force. When the 12-year-old boy heard the news of Xie Changjie's death, he wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. He forced himself to look like he was extremely sad, and his face looked a little ferocious.

Later, Yuan Zonggao was assigned to the Ministry of Rites, Wang Meng was assigned to Jinwu's left guard, etc., and I will not list them one by one here.

Everyone who greeted him also had his own reward. Liang Chu, Mao Cheng, Gu Dayong and others in the capital were all given by Zhu Houcong what they had used personally in the past.

Liang Chu is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Mao Cheng is two paintings and calligraphy, Gu Dayong is a short bow...

Although the value is not high, it is of great significance.

Zhang Yong on the side felt a little sour in his heart when he saw Gu Dayong accepting it with joy on his face.

Perhaps it would have been better if he had taken the initiative to ask for help when he first arrived.

Zhu Houcong officially became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty from this moment, and moved into the Qianqing Palace that had just been taken care of by the eunuchs and maids.

"Everyone in the palace praised you for handling Changjie's funeral affairs safely."

Zhu Houcong looked at Lu Fang in front of him and praised.

"Thank you, Your Highness, it is my honor to share your worries with your father."

Lu Fang suppressed her excitement, took out a resignation letter from her arms and said.

"This is the resignation letter that the former eunuch Gu Dayong asked me to deliver to His Majesty—"

Zhu Houcong took it.

The above is nothing more than Gu Dayong saying that he was old and frail, and asked to wait for Emperor Zhengde to be buried to guard the tomb of the late emperor.

Going there on your own initiative and being sent there are two completely different situations.

In the former case, everyone knows your loyalty, and the emperor will pity you sincerely and take good care of you. Even the officials of the Zhengde Dynasty will not be able to impeach you because of the affairs of the Zhengde Dynasty.

But in the latter case, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and the end will be disastrous.

"Hey, Gu Dayong is sincere to my imperial brother. Let this matter be left to the Ministry of Rites for discussion. We must not treat him unfairly."

Next to him, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, Yuan Zonggao, immediately accepted the order.

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Lu Fang was filled with excitement.

With Your Majesty, my godfather will be able to live in comfort and peace of mind for the rest of his life!

Your Majesty, you are still a man of old love!

Thinking of this, Lu Fang looked at Zhu Houcong with a more sincere look.

"It's just that once Gu Dayong leaves the capital, the position of the Chief of Ceremony will be vacant... Lu Fang..."

After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Lu Fang seemed to have thought of something, and her body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Zhu Houcong's eyes were gentle.

"No one in the palace is more familiar with the etiquette of the inner court than you. Are you willing to temporarily take over the post of Chief Eunuch and Eunuch after Gu Dayong leaves the capital!" Hearing this, Lu Fang's eyes filled with excitement.

The palm seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies is the highest point of the eunuch profession.

He knew that after he helped His Majesty get rid of Changjie and accepted the certificate of surrender, the Emperor had begun to really treat him as a confidant.

"If your Majesty orders you to go to the mountain of swords or the sea of ​​fire, I will be utterly devastated and will not give up even if I die!"

At this time, Lu Fang was lying on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

……

Another place is the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.

The newly appointed former military commander, now the second brother of the Empress Dowager Chiang, was commanding Jiang Ding in front of Fenwu Camp. At this time, he was drinking and congratulating himself with his Beijing army generals to celebrate his promotion.

"The last general respectfully invites Governor Jiang to be promoted!"

Li Zi, the former commander of Fenwu Camp, took the lead in raising his glass, and the others followed suit.

"I wish Governor Jiang good health and everlasting victory!"

Jiang Ding was happy at first, but then a touch of sadness appeared on his face.

"Although I have been appointed by the imperial court as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, controlling the northern army and horses, the Zhang family is very powerful and has deep roots in the capital. I am really walking on thin ice at this moment. Do you think, what should I do?"

"Zhang's son is nothing more than a bunch of people who have nothing but food and wine. Today, the governor is out in charge of the Beijing army, and his younger brother is in charge of the imperial army in the palace. Even if Zhang is in trouble, the palace can still support it for several days. At that time, all it takes is the Queen Mother or the emperor's decree. 12 The army of the capital is approaching in the evening, and the governor only needs to lead the crowd to beat the drums and march westward! Who dares to stop him! He can help the king's career and make an immortal contribution!"

After hearing what everyone said, Jiang Ding showed a little smile on his face.

"good!"

He scanned the faces of everyone, all of them were strong men with resolute expressions. No one spoke up to refute these inappropriate remarks.

It seems that the Zhang family has been in power for a long time and has repeatedly obstructed Emperor Zhengde from re-armament, which has alienated the generals.

Military heart is available!

……

Late at night, Qianqing Palace.

Compared to the carnival of everyone in the palace.

Zhu Houcong is now thinking about how to build a foundation.

As a breath of turbid breath was exhaled, Zhu Houcong's eyes showed a hint of joy.

Perfect Qi training!

The Flame-making Technique and the Great Sun True Technique in the body have also been strengthened.

Zhu Houcong suddenly discovered that as his cultivation improved, the power of the Great Sun True Dharma on him became stronger and stronger.

Originally, his blood and spiritual power was only twice that of ordinary immortal cultivators of the same level, but now it has increased to more than two and a half times.

This can't help but make Zhu Houcong look forward to the effect of this true method of the sun after establishing the foundation.

Before the age of 30, the foundation is completed, the energy and blood are not declining, and the confidence is increased by [-]%.

If assisted by secret techniques, it can be increased by one to two percent.

Through the calamity-resolving method, if the calamity energy is accumulated to perfection before the breakthrough, there will be another [-]% to [-]% chance of success.

With a [-]% to [-]% certainty of successful foundation building, other immortal cultivators would probably be overjoyed.

but……

Not stable!
We still need to get a Foundation Building Pill to increase our confidence by [-]%.

Only when he was [-]% or even [-]% sure, Zhu Houcong would try to build the foundation.

After all, compared to many immortal cultivators who have been stuck in the late stage of Qi refining for their whole lives, they can't even see the shadow of foundation building.

I have it, do you have it?

With full confidence, Zhu Houcong would certainly not use a [-]% method to take the [-]% risk.

There is no need to worry about the foundation-building secret method. He has taken refuge with the Xie family in the world of immortal cultivation. As long as he shows his perfect Qi cultivation, Xie Baoshu will naturally not let go of the countless copies of the secret method that have been printed to win people's hearts.

Only the Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed a bit troublesome.

It depends on how much Xie Baoshu wants Zhu Houcong to pay.

While Zhu Houcong was thinking, there was suddenly a subtle sound outside the door, like nails scratching wood.

It was as if there was something outside the door scratching at the wooden door with sharp nails, trying to spy on everything in the room.

In the silent night, it seemed particularly scary.
