Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After meeting with the representatives, Zhao Ran said: "The capital has been newly established. Please follow Pindao into the palace to discuss the big plan together." He then said to Xia Yan: "Things that will follow are complicated. Pindao is a man of pure cultivation.  I have no choice but to do these trivial matters. As the chief minister of the dynasty, I also ask the elder to preside over it."

    In a word, re-determine the cabinet seats.

    Xia Yan was originally the chief minister. He resigned due to impeachment a few days ago. It was a helpless move. Today's situation is different, so he did his duty: "The abbot is humbled. He said that he is willing to help the abbot clean up the court and restore peace to the world.  .¡±

    This sentence made many of the representatives behind feel horrified and moved. Some were complacent, some were secretly happy, some were frowning, some were despairing, and so on.

    The news of the emperor's death has spread outside the palace. Zhao Ran has no intention of blocking the news, and there is no need to block the news. The entire capital is under his control. Blocking this news is of no use. On the contrary, it will easily spread people's opinions and make many people in the market.  Speculation.

    Therefore, Zhao Rantan frankly invited all the officials to enter the Fengxian Hall. He even did not let Zhang Lue move the corpses of the emperor and King Qi, just to prevent others from thinking.

    Duanmen, Meridian Gate, Chengtianmen, palace gates all opened wide, Longtan Guardsmen, Fujun Front Camp, Fifth Army Camp knife and fork guard, Han generals, groups of soldiers lined up along the imperial road inward.  Arriving at Fengxian Hall, the first of the three main halls, the entire palace was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

    In front of the Fengxian Hall, Zhang Lue pressed his sword on his waist and led dozens of soldiers to greet him on the twenty-seventh step. Xia Yan saw this and stepped forward to hold Zhang Lue's hands and said sincerely: "Commander Zhang understands the righteousness.  Raising troops to put down rebellions can be compared to famous generals in ancient times, and they are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty!"

    Zhang Lue bowed and replied: "I don't dare to be the chief minister, just because Abbot Zhao went straight to the camp to show his great righteousness, so that the final general can enter the capital." Recalling that in those days, General Zhao Duguan gave the word "loyalty" to Zhao, who had been stationed in Beijing for many years.  Under the guidance of the elder, I understand some of the meaning of the Tao."

    Taking advantage of this time, all the officials had arranged their shifts in front of the palace, just like the day they went to court.  Xia Yan praised Zhang Lue a few more words such as "heroic soldiers" and "thin willows". After the officials finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ran beside him.

    There is no doubt that the position at the head of the line of court officials was given to Xia Yan, and there is no need to say more; for the line of counter-rebellion troops, Gu Tengjia wanted to give up the position at the head of the line to Zhao Ran, but Zhao Ran refused: "The rules are the rules.  , you are the Wenchang Guanyuan, and I am the abbot of Xuantan Palace, you should be in front of me. Otherwise, after word spreads, how will the world comment? How will they follow suit? Isn't that chaos? "

    Gu Tengjia had no choice but to respond with a smile.

    Chen Hong came out of the palace, and the eunuchs who led the internal officials and eunuchs lined up diagonally in front of the corridor pillars. After a silence, he suddenly wailed and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor, the Dragon Controller has honored the guests¡ª¡ª"

    There was a sudden cry in front of the palace, and all the officials shed tears like rain.

    After crying, Chen Hong invited all the officials to enter the palace, so everyone filed in. Seeing this scene, they wailed again.

    As an eyewitness, Chen Hong explained on the spot how the King of Qi kidnapped the Emperor to the main hall, how he forced him to take the Zen position, and how he had him killed. All the officials turned pale, the crowd was furious, and they cursed Qi in unison.  The king's treachery and ambition.

    At this point, the entire link ends successfully.

    Zhao Ran nodded to Xia Yan, and Xia Yan went out and said to the officials: "The situation has become clear. The king of Qi has committed regicide. How to discuss the crime is a matter for later. I believe that the first step is to bury Emperor Daxing in order to ensure peace and order.  Palace, what do you think?"

    What I mean is that everyone understands what¡¯s going on, and there are no doubts now, right?  Is it time to collect the body for the emperor?  The corpse of King Qi is also sitting on the dragon throne. It's time for us to pull him down and clean the hall.

    This was the right thing to do, and naturally no one objected, so Chen Hong took matters into his own hands and led the eunuchs to put the emperor's body on a stretcher and cover it with yellow dragon brocade.  Then he went to carry King Qi on the dragon chair. He touched it lightly, but it turned into a ball of ashes, which made all the officials at the scene exclaim.  The eunuchs swept down the ashes, put them into a large earthen jar, and covered them with a white cloth.  Several palace maids came forward to clean the dragon chair and the Danqi stained with the emperor's blood.

    Chen Hongdao: "Please ask the two abbots to discuss your Majesty's posthumous affairs with all your lords." After that, he stepped aside.

    The emperor's grand visit has a very complicated follow-up matter, including small coffin, large coffin, entering the Zi Palace, coffin burial, drafting the edict, naming the temple, entering the funeral, and holding a ceremony, not to mention how tiring it is.  So many affairs are handled by the Etiquette Department, but the people who lead the general office are very particular.

    Emperor Daxing was killed by the King of Ni Qi and had no will. For officials, being able to be on the list of the general office is actually equivalent to the responsibility of taking care of orders. The future structure of the court will surely be established from this.

    ??Sir.  Logically speaking, this is justifiable, but at this special moment, the handle of the knife is controlled by the Taoist side. No one can say whether it is really justifiable.

    Xia Yan looked at Gu Tengjia and Zhao Ran. Gu Tengjia looked at Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

    Yan Song had been feeling uneasy just now, especially the few short breaths that Zhao Ran took in silence. It wasn't until he saw him nodding in approval that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    But Zhao Ran then said to Gu Tengjia and Xia Yan: "Apart from these five, I would like to recommend three more. Is it feasible?"

    Gu Tengjia smiled and nodded, Xia Yan said: "Abbot Zhao has the power to set the cauldron. If you have any suggestions, just give me your instructions."

    Zhao Ran said: "I can't talk about orders. Pindao believes that the chaos in the capital requires a lot of things to be pacified. The expenditure of the army, the pacification of various bureaus after the rebellion, the losses of the people in the capital, and the renovation and cleanup of the city walls and streets all require money."  In order to obtain financial support, Pindao suggested that the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs should work with the General Office."

    ??Anyone with some basic knowledge among the officials in the palace knew about the relationship between Zhao Ran and Gan Shutong, and this proposal was also expected.  Everyone nodded in approval at the moment.

    Zhao Ran added: "Emperor Daxing passed away, and the follow-up affairs are extremely complicated. The Ministry of Rites is familiar with this and is the yamen in charge. Why not just ask the Minister of Rites to join the general office? I think the gentlemen of the Ministry of Rites will do the work.  Can be more dedicated and effective.¡±

    This proposal is a bit unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it is also being sorted out.  Mao Cheng has been serving as the Minister of Rites for many years, but he has never been admitted to the cabinet. His qualifications are sufficient, he just needs someone to mention him.  Mao Cheng has been waiting for this sentence for almost ten years, but no one has ever mentioned it. He didn't expect it to come out of Zhao Ran's mouth today, which really made him have mixed feelings.

    The last one, who will Abbot Zhao propose?  In the expectation of all the officials, Zhao Ran said: "There is another one, Pindao, who proposed that King Yu live a thousand years. We all know that when a father dies and his son buries him, and His Majesty passes away, if his son does not come forward to perform the ceremony, I am afraid that if it spreads, everyone in the world will be confused.  It¡¯s a joke, this is the way of human relations.¡±
