Chapter 51 Ascension to the Throne(2/2)
This is also the reason why Han Qi was given the posthumous title "Zhongxian".
When Han Qi was still alive, even though he opposed the new law, he did not obstruct it, let alone destroy it. Instead, he assisted in the implementation of the new law.
On this point, in the emperor's mind, he was far ahead of other scholar-bureaucrats.
When Zhao Xu thought of this, he also sighed in his heart: "When the country is in trouble, we miss our loyal ministers!"
"Where are my loyal subjects again?"
He looked towards the palace.
Zhao Xu understood that the ministers currently in power were about to face the stormy waves of the Two Palaces Era.
No one can survive it!
Zhao Xu can barely protect the dignity of these people and let them serve as officials in local states and counties, which is already good.
Therefore, they are unlikely to be the 'loyal ministers' Zhao Xu needs in the short term.
Besides, Zhao Xu now doesn't need a real veteran of the late emperor to talk to him about the late emperor's ambitions and Xifeng's old stories every day.
Zhao Xu has his own ideas and does not need their teaching.
Therefore, it is better for these ministers to go out.
Zeng Bu and Deng Runfu, on the other hand, had good luck. One won the trust of Empress Dowager Gao, and the other gained the trust of Empress Xiang.
In this way, the two-house era that is about to begin will have these two additional variables.
But are they loyal ministers?
Deng Runfu may be, but Zeng Bu really has a big question mark!
As for the officials of the old party?
They say they are definitely more loyal than anyone else, but whether it is true or not? Only God knows!
So, Zhao Xu looked around the entire court, but there was not even a single 'loyal minister' he felt he could rely on!
I can’t help but feel sad in my heart!
Fortunately...
"There is still a loyal minister!" Zhao Xu looked outside the palace. He knew that there was a minister who was absolutely loyal and could be relied on. He was outside the palace at the moment.
Su Song Su Zirong!
In Zhao Xu's previous life, he already knew that he was a loyal minister! After studying abroad for ten years in modern times, Su Song's status has skyrocketed in Zhao Xu's heart!
He has been regarded as a confidant like a humerus!
Thinking in his mind, Zhao Xu wiped away his tears, looked at the prostrate ministers in the hall, and also looked outside the hall.
He choked with sobs and said, "I'll excuse you, sir!"
He followed what Empress Dowager Gao taught him and said without changing a single word: "Unfortunately, Emperor Daxing is about to leave the world! With the blessing of the gods of my ancestors, I am loved by the world. At the young age, I am insignificant.
I live in a body that is above all the people in the world. I am trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice. I hope that my ministers will give me more help and advice!"
"I will not give up even if I die!" The ministers bowed their heads and bowed again.
Therefore, when Wang Gui, the left prime minister, accused the family of being guilty, Cai Que, the right prime minister, was ordered to read out the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing.
This edict had already been written.
On the day when Zhao Xu established the crown prince, it was written together with the lyrics of the title.
Now, just by changing the time, it can be read directly in court.
"I have flattered the emperor and been appointed to the ancestral temple for nineteen years... The crown prince is gentle and courteous, and has long-term wisdom. Kindness, filial piety and respect are born from my nature! People want you to belong to you, and the artifact belongs to you! But
In front of the coffin, he is the emperor..." During Cai Que's cadence of reading, people inside and outside the Funing Hall choked up and sobbed.
Zhao Xu also left the throne, knelt down facing his father's body, and cried with tears.
The two immediately stepped forward, pretending to help him up, but they couldn't help him, so they could only advise: "I hope the officials will rest the dragon's body for the sake of the country and the country, and take care of the sacred bow!"
Cai Que, who was in the palace, paused for a moment, then continued to read: "However, the thought is just in the year of the Chong Nian, the general affairs are extensive, the emperor's Xu is protected, and the mother-in-law of the emperor..."
"The Empress Dowager is a profound sage, compassionate and benevolent. She assists the late emperor and supports me. She has a little knowledge and has been heard all over the world. She can be respected as the Empress Dowager!"
Empress Dowager Gao, who was behind the curtain, burst into tears. Several ministers quickly stepped forward to support her, and they all advised: "I would also like to ask the Empress Dowager to do it for the sake of the government and the country, and the mourning will end!"
Cai Que paused for a moment, waiting for the newly promoted Empress Dowager to finish mourning behind the curtain, and then continued to recite the edict: "The Empress Xiang, whose virtues are gentle and gentle, and whose ways are virtuous and gentle, assist me, uphold the virtues of Qi Ming, and serve as the crown prince."
My true mother, the one who teaches me the most by my own flesh and blood, can be honored as the Queen Mother!"
Empress Xiang, who was in front of the coffin, burst into tears and wailed bitterly. Her left and right sides hurriedly stepped forward to grab the empress dowager who was about to throw herself down on the late emperor's coffin.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please express your condolences! My condolences! The official family still needs your Majesty's protection and support!" The female ministers cried and comforted the newly-promoted Empress Dowager.
Cai Que still paused for a moment, waiting to express his condolences to the Queen Mother, and then continued to read: "In response to military and state affairs, the Queen Mother has the power to deal with it, and the Queen Mother has the power to assist, and Yu Yizhang Xian Mingsu's story is implemented..."
No one listened to the rest.
All the ministers, both inside and outside the palace, faced the Empress Dowager inside the curtain and the Empress Dowager who was weeping with the ministers on her back in front of the mourning. They held the phoenix and bowed: "I respectfully wish the Empress Dowager a long blessing!
"
"I respectfully wish the Empress Dowager a long blessing!"
Zhao Xu was in the palace, listening and watching quietly.
My heart is like a bright mirror.
