    On the seventh day of May in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the current emperor Zhu Youtang died of illness in Qianqing Palace at the age of thirty-five.

    The sound of the death knell echoed over the capital in the middle of the night. Countless ministers and people gathered in front of Chengtian Gate, crying loudly and tears falling like rain.

    Everyone's grief comes from the heart. The Ming Dynasty was founded for more than a hundred years, but there were not many emperors who really made a difference and implemented benevolent policies. From Hongwu and Yongle to Xuanzong and Xianzong, these emperors were either violent or mediocre in their governance.  There are many styles, but when it comes to emperors who truly implemented benevolent policies, Emperor Hongzhi is the only one.

    After eighteen years of hard work, he won the hearts and minds of people all over the world.

    The eunuchs and maids in the palace began to get busy. The white silk filial piety belts that had been prepared were brought out by the eunuchs and tied around everyone's waist and crown. Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and the Department of Daolu led a group of people holding various kinds of filial piety belts.  The monks and Taoists who held the ritual hurriedly entered the palace, and in the square in front of Fengtian Hall, the huge spiritual platform began to be built in an orderly manner.

    In the sad atmosphere, all funeral-related matters are proceeding quickly.

    Empress Zhang had been helped back to Kunning Palace by the palace maid. She was so grief-stricken that she fainted twice. Xiao Jing, the superintendent of ceremonies, had no choice but to order the eunuch to send her to Kunning Palace to rest. All the remaining funeral rituals were no longer needed.  The queen is worried, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette will arrange everything properly.

    The body of Emperor Hongzhi was still lying on the bed, cold and stiff, and his face was covered with a piece of bright yellow silk cloth. After death, he could not see the light of day, and the same was true for the emperor.

    Zhu Houzhao knelt down in front of the couch with a dull expression. The three bachelors, Xiao Jing and others tried their best to talk, but he remained motionless, without energy and thoughts, like a wooden statue with all the tears shed.  Only the stains of tears on his face were left.

    Qin Kan stood outside the hall, looking at Zhu Houzhao who seemed to be in a daze inside the hall, and sighed deeply.

    Seeing that the prince could not be persuaded to leave, Liu Jian and others couldn't help but shook their heads. During the period of national mourning, the prince had to take part in many funeral rituals. As the next monarch of the Ming Dynasty, the eyes of hundreds of millions of subjects in the world were staring at him.  How can I stay in Qianqing Palace in a daze and ignore everything?

    However, seeing the prince's heartbroken and sad look, the three bachelors could no longer bear to console him.

    Zhu Houzhao didn¡¯t understand anything about state affairs. He only knew that he had just lost a great father who loved him and cherished him. All he wanted to do was sit in front of his father¡¯s body and accompany him on his last journey.

    As for the many funeral rituals, let them go to hell.

    Li Dongyang wiped away his tears, turned around and saw Qin Kan standing quietly outside the hall, so his eyes lit up and he walked quickly to Qin Kan.

    "Qin Qianhu, the prince is too sad and unwilling to leave. Please help me persuade him. The late Emperor Long Yu has passed away, and the subjects are in sorrow and pain. Everyone is waiting to see how the new king will behave. Your Highness cannot sit here all the time.  I am in a daze in the Qing palace."

    Qin Kan also knew the importance of this moment, so he nodded: "I'll try my best to give it a try."

    Slowly walking into the hall, Zhu Houzhao remained as motionless as a sculpture.

    Qin Kan knelt down beside him, looked at the body of Emperor Hongzhi, kowtowed three times, straightened up and said to Zhu Houzhao: "The emperor has passed away. Your Highness, take care of yourself. There is no resurrection after death."

    Qin Kan¡¯s familiar voice restored some vitality to Zhu Houzhao¡¯s empty eyes. He turned around and said, ¡°Qin Kan, my father is gone. He said he was very tired¡­¡±

    "Your Highness, the emperor not only has the most noble status and power in the world, but also has the heaviest responsibility. The emperor is indeed tired."

    Zhu Houzhao sobbed sadly: "I didn't understand before. I just thought that my father would sit at the desk every day and write a few words on the report, or chat with the bachelors about state affairs. That's all. I didn't expect that my father would be so tired. I  So ignorant."

    Qin Kan was silent for a while and said: "Your Highness, the emperor has left. You are the new king of the Ming Dynasty. It is still too late to be sensible. Men should be brave enough to take responsibility and help your father carry the country of the Ming Dynasty on his shoulders."

    "Jiangshan" Zhu Houzhao looked stunned.

    Qin Kan pointed to the outside of the palace and said: "Billions of eyes of the people in the world are looking at you, do you feel it? They are all waiting for the new king to stand up with his head held high and bring them happiness and stability.  You are hiding in Qianqing Palace just grieving for the past. If your Majesty is alive in heaven, he will definitely be disappointed in you."

    "Your Highness, you are no longer a prince, but a new generation of emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Your subjects are waiting for you to rule the world and dominate the world!"

    Zhu Houzhao's eyes gradually became brighter, and he pursed his lips. Zhu Houzhao kowtowed three times respectfully to the body of Emperor Hongzhi, and then stood up. His face clearly had a slightly green imperial demeanor.

    ¡°??Identified.

    After the ministers paid their respects, some of them wondered whether they missed the late emperor's wisdom and benevolence, so a faint sound of weeping came from the palace. It spread from one to ten, then to a hundred. The crying became louder and louder, and many old ministers could not control their emotions.  , knelt down and cried loudly, and banged their heads on the ground hard, and some even got blood dripping from the knocks.

    The scene fell into sadness again. Zhu Houzhao was obviously infected. Sitting on the dragon chair, he suddenly deflated and started crying loudly. The golden palace became more and more chaotic. The emperor even cried. How dare the ministers not cry?

    Qin Kan stood outside the hall, with tears in his eyes. He raised his head and wiped it, looked into the hall, and frowned.

    When Zhu Houzhao was crying so hard that he couldn't control himself, he saw Qin Kan waving to him with red eyes outside the palace. Zhu Houzhao's crying gradually stopped, and he looked in the direction of Qin Kan's finger. After observing for a long time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became furious, his face  The child suddenly turned red.

    Academician Liu Jian was slowly unrolling another piece of yellow silk. The next step should be a general amnesty for the world. The new emperor was conferring rewards on all ministers. Before he could say anything, the newly minted Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who had just ascended the throne, made an announcement in the palace.  The officials were shocked.

    I saw Zhu Houzhao vigorously lift the hem of the dragon robe he had just put on, and regardless of everyone's strange looks, he angrily jumped up from the dragon chair, then rushed to the center of the golden palace like an enraged bull, and walked out from the courtroom.  Zhong reached out fiercely, grabbed the front of a minister, and finally punched out angrily, hitting the minister in the face.

    The whole hall was in an uproar!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That?Hu Ruli, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, was beaten. Hu Ruli was punched by Zhu Houzhao inexplicably, and he screamed in pain. Zhu Houzhao still couldn't understand his hatred, and punched him again.

    "Your Majesty, stop it!" Liu Jian was shocked and angry. He ran up to Zhu Houzhao and stopped him.

    "Today is His Majesty's coronation ceremony. Why did Your Majesty fight against the courtiers?"

    Zhu Houzhao pointed at Hu Ruli who covered his face and said nothing, and said angrily: "The whole palace was mourning and remembering the kindness of my father. This scum actually howled at the top of his lungs without a single tear on his face. It was obviously hypocritical and unfaithful.  Sir, shouldn¡¯t I beat him?¡±

    There was silence in the palace, and the ministers were dumbfounded. This reason

    Liu Jian¡¯s old face twitched hard twice, and he said that the new emperor has a new look. The new emperor¡¯s new look is really a bit appalling.

    Today is an important moment for the Ming Emperor to ascend the throne. As the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian cannot let the ceremony turn into a farce under any circumstances. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it make people all over the world laugh at it if the news spread?

    "Ahem Your Majesty, Mr. Hu is howling at the top of his lungs. This matter" Liu Jian coughed and his mind was full of reasons to calm the situation. With a glance, he couldn't help but said: "Huh? Mr. Hu is obviously crying, Your Majesty.  Look, have you seen it? There are clearly two lines of sad tears on Mr. Hu¡¯s face"

    Liu Jian pointed at Hu Ruli's face and said seductively: "Your Majesty, please look, he is obviously crying. How about letting this matter go? Your Majesty, the ceremony must continue."

    Zhu Houzhao stared at the past. An extremely angry Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and a helpless bachelor of the cabinet, facing the shocked and complicated eyes of the ministers, squatted in front of Hu Ruli, the minister of household affairs who had been beaten to the point of missing his teeth.  , looking for his two lines of sincere tears together
