Seeing that Dong had left, Chunmei went in after a while, and saw Zhang Fan still drinking tea. She sat opposite her and poured herself a cup.
Your Highness really forgot her like this?
Zhang Fan thought about Dong's hesitation before answering to take her into the palace and did not speak.
The two of them waited until it was dark and went home.
……
A month later, Jianwen was buried. Zhang Fan chose a zodiac auspicious day to hold the throne ceremony. Of course, he agreed to ascend the throne after resigning repeatedly and complying with etiquette.
The loud sound of bells and drums broke the peace of the Forbidden City in Nanjing and awakened Zhang Fan's contemplation. He heard the sound of tiny footsteps outside the hall, and then the eunuch's soft notification. Your Highness, the time is here!
knew!
He responded, took a breath and stood up, his clear and black eyes full of determination and longing.
When Zhang Fan opened the door and walked out of the palace, the bells and drums had already sounded three times, which meant that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had ended the sacrifices at the Temple of Heaven, Xiannong Temple and the Taimiao. The grand and grand ceremony of ascension to the top was about to begin.
The decoration of lights and decorations in the palace were completely different from the previous succession, and the whole ceremony was also a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, with etiquette and music.As Zhang Fan got out of the sedan chair and walked slowly up the city tower of Tiananmen.
In the eyes of the officials, the new emperor was wearing a golden robe. The nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the dragon robe looked noble and majestic. His steps were even, and each step was firm and calm. The sight and attention of tens of thousands of people seemed to have no effect on him. His calm temperament showed absolute confidence.
In the Taimiao, praying to the sky and communicating with the sky and earth, the officials' uneasiness gradually calmed down, and the steady performance of the new emperor made them begin to be full of confidence in the future.
He was pretending to follow the people from the Ministry of Rites to sacrifice to heaven.Praying for the heaven and earth is a necessary ritual for the new emperor to succeed to the throne. After that, you have to communicate with all the gods and immortals one by one before you can continue to start the ritual.
At the beginning, Zhang Fan was a little pious, but the process was too complicated and he could not feel any so-called oracle at all. After doing the repeated movements dozens of times, he finally became upset. He finally prayed before he started to complain in his heart.
He immediately ran away and came down from the city tower, but fortunately he only passed this ceremony once in his life.
Following the high steps, Zhu Houzhao entered the Fengtian Palace and took a seat.
Only after waiting in the square outside the Meridian Gate, the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time entered the hall according to their official ranks and congratulated them.
……
The news of Zhang Fan ascended the throne reached the Xuande court. At this time, Xuande was already sick and lying blindly on the bed and could not speak. When he heard this news, he was angry or closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief and kicked the sky without coming back, leaving the world for a long time.
According to the will, Zheng Jing, King Zhu Zhan, should have ascended the throne, but after all, he has no power and no prestige, everyone knows that his reign is only a temporary matter. Almost all the ministers decide, and the ministers' previous conflicts broke out without Xuande's suppression.
Fortunately, there is no major chaos in the foreign enemy at present.
Zhang Fan knew that Xuande was not long before he was sent to escort Concubine Sun and his four-year-old son to Zhu Guangyang's army, claiming to escort the Northern Emperor to the restoration of the throne.
For a moment, people were panicked and had no control.
On the other hand, Zhou Mengxiong, Datong, heard that Xuande had returned to heaven, and Wuming's second brother succeeded to the throne. The guard general knew that he would not waste time.
The creatures were in trouble and surrendered.
As for Zhu Guangyang's Tianjin Guard, before the war begins every day, he sent people to escort Concubine Sun and his youngest son to come forward to shake the morale of the Northern Dynasties.The Northern Dynasties were finally destroyed a few days after the Datong defeated them in layers of psychological warfare.
These things happened within half a month after Xuande's death, and another half a month later, two armies gathered together in the capital and surrounded it, and it was inseparable.
The imperial edict sent out to remove Shanhaiguan from entering the capital was rejected. Xuande had already said that the emperor had defended the country and the king died. Not to mention that the new emperor did not have half the prestige of Xuande and Yongle, and the Central Plains was just a civil war between the Zhu family. Even if other surnames rose up, the defenders outside the pass would not leave their posts without permission and let the Tartars enter the pass.
However, the people inside were rejected. The documents that resisted the order were intercepted by Zhu Guangyang and Zhou Mengxiong who surrounded the city. They were also worried about siege, so there was no need to worry.
They are not in a hurry to attack the city, just launch the Sun family and his son every day to shake the morale of the army, and wait for their internal straits to become chaotic.
Soon, the conflict between the pro-war faction and the surrender faction broke out. Most of the people cherish their lives in the face of life and death, let alone just for an emperor without hope.
There is also an emperor's own son outside, and there is also the direct connection of Emperor Taizu in Nanjing outside. The so-called loyalty has no value.
Soon, more and more people were surrendering inside, and the conflicts were accumulated deeper and deeper. When the external force was not strong enough, the fight started inside first.
In the end, the surrendered faction and the outsiders stopped hiding each other. A full-scale war broke out between the three parties. It took only five days to clear out the pro-war faction in the city.
A group of Northern Dynasties officials and Southern Dynasties officials all returned to Nanjing.
Zhang Fan only left Zhu Guangyang and some of his troops, Yang and Yu Qian, to cooperate with each other and balance each other, to appease and store the territory in the northeast and northwest. Not all places have to be conquered by force. Where the leader is lost, only someone needs to be willing to lead them, and they will be willing to obey.
Zhang Fan adopted a pacification policy for most of the officials in the Northern Dynasties, and even if they were exposed to the mortal world, they were not killed.
Zhang Fan believed that in the face of absolute national hatred and family grudges, and in the case of tyranny and corvee, a few talents were willing to take the risk of rebellion. Besides, he did not have the existence of brotherly vassal kings, so there was no need to worry about these people.
Among these old ministers of the Northern Dynasty, Yang Yu and his son were the ones with greater conflicts. They all posed great threats to Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan appreciated their abilities more, especially Yang Yu, who entrusted important tasks and gave great trust.
The other is that Xuande's youngest son did not kill him, but kept his soul forever like Jianwen's son.This may be a cycle of cause and effect, and it is not a good thing to retribution.
When the world is settled, it is natural that the merits and titles are granted. Almost all officials have received more or less rewards, promotions, including some people who are still outside.
These people outside may not feel anything when they are outside. When they return to Beijing, they find that their house has become bigger and the joy of paying for their rewards is self-evident.
Of course, except for Yu Qian, his wife died of sudden illness, it seemed that something happened when she moved. When she came back, Yu Qian only saw a grave that had grown grass. However, Yu Qian didn't care. It was not because he was ruthless and unrighteous, but Saint Kong knew that women and villains were hard to raise, and he could just show his life ambitions without any worries.
As for his son, he should also be traveling abroad for the country and the people like himself.
Of course, these are just what Yu Qian saw, and he doesn't know where Dong is.
Zhang Fan of the State issued policies to reduce labor service and public taxes, vigorously develop handicrafts, light industry, heavy industry, service industry, etc., restore the legitimate status of merchants, and charge merchants' taxes.
At the same time, Zhang Fan also carried out the titles of the harem, Fang Ling, Er Niang, Wen Jun, Bai Fengjiao, Luo Youniang, Taohua Fairy, and Xiao Qing all received their titles.
What do you ask other women? The four guards replaced the eunuch and collaborated with Zhang Fan to deal with military and national affairs. Chunmei was a little happy with this.
There are only these people in the palace. As for those who secretly raise their sister and a woman named Dong, it is not easy for the palace to hide so many people.
As for Zhang Fan's eldest niece Zhou Nanping, Zhang Fan did not make things difficult for her. He always felt that this girl was very talented. He always treated her as her biological daughter. When she was enthroned, she was also named Princess Yongyue. Zhang Fan hoped that she would be happy and innocent forever.
Your Highness really forgot her like this?
Zhang Fan thought about Dong's hesitation before answering to take her into the palace and did not speak.
The two of them waited until it was dark and went home.
