Guangzong Yaoming

Chapter 2: New Season of the National Battle (Please Collect and Read)
"Your Highness, why do you say that? I came here with good intentions to visit Sister Gongfei..."

Hearing her say this, Zhu Changluo felt disdainful.

What kind of green tea has he not seen?

Zhu Yijun would regard her as a close friend because of her "uniqueness", but Zhu Changluo had irreconcilable conflicts with her.

All that can be seen is that Zhu Yijun dislikes both Concubine Wang Gong and his eldest son.

The fact that his father was unkind was implied by foreign ministers in their memorials to the emperor. Zhu Changluo's current words and deeds can also be described as "unfilial".

But time waits for no one, how could Zhu Changluo wait another twenty years?

"When the Imperial Concubine came, mother was so frightened that she almost fainted." Zhu Changluo supported his mother, "It's my son's fault. His words made mother worried."

After saying that, he looked at Zheng Mengjing again: "The Imperial Concubine is busy with palace affairs. If there is nothing important, why not move back to Yikun Palace. As the eldest son of the Emperor, I will discipline the servants in Jingyang Palace. If the Imperial Concubine thinks I have lost my manners, I will wait for my father's reprimand in Jingyang Palace!"

His tone already revealed disdain: You can't teach me a lesson yet.

Zheng Mengjing just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

But even if Wei Gang and the others were punished together, looking at Zhu Changluo's current words and actions, can it intimidate him?
That's great. I will definitely go back and persuade you.

Zhu Changluo was worried that Zhu Yijun did not realize that his eldest son was different.

If he wasn't being isolated from the outside world now, would he have bothered to argue with Zheng Mengjing here?

This happened on purpose today, and Wang An's saying "walls have ears" really worked.

Of course, even if Zheng Mengjing didn't come, Zhu Changluo was ready to force his way out of Jingyang Palace to make his presence felt.

Wei Gang could stop him in the past, but it was different now. If Zhu Changluo was strong, what could he do?

The Empress has no legitimate son, so he is the eldest.

I am at the top of the list, so the throne should be mine!
In Jingyang Palace, for the time being, only these people felt the aura of Zhu Changluo: Who else but me?
Just at this time, another young eunuch came to Jingyang Palace. After seeing the situation in the yard, he hesitated for a moment.

He wanted to slip away, but was spotted by Zheng Mengjing again.

"Who are you? Where do you work?"

"Your servant... Your servant Zou Yi, working in the secretarial office, pays respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, Her Majesty the Concubine Gong, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Zheng Mengjing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong. His eyes turned murderous, "You from the writing office...what are you doing here?"

The young eunuch from the Secretariat of the Imperial Household Department ran to Jingyang Palace. I'm afraid it was to do with the matter that His Majesty had agreed to after being troubled by it recently. Could it be that it was done today?
"Slave...slave..."

Zou Yi was about to say something but stopped himself, and immediately regretted it.

But he had already arrived in front of them, and after secretly glancing at Zhu Changluo, he still said with a stiff upper lip: "With the approval of Eunuch Chen, I am here to deliver a message. Your Highness, His Majesty has announced to the Cabinet to draft the three ceremonial edicts. Eunuch Chen said that Your Highness should also make some preparations to avoid making mistakes during the grand ceremony."

"Oh?" Zhu Changluo laughed, but his voice was not full of surprise. "Zou Yi, I've made a note of it. Please report back to Eunuch Chen, I'll make good preparations."

"…Then I will take my leave."

Zou Yi left in a hurry.

It is of course good that the eldest prince remembered his name, but now Concubine Zheng also remembered his name.

Terrible!

The atmosphere in Jingyang Palace suddenly became a little awkward.

Concubine Wang Gong was surprised and happy, but also even more uneasy.

Zheng Mengjing's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was in a hurry to suffer this blow today.

The eldest prince seemed like a different person. Not only was he eloquent, but his temperament had also changed greatly. He no longer had the cowardice of the past.

She knew that the emperor was still just delaying the issue, but the impact of coming here to suppress the matter would greatly reduce her prestige.

Just when she was feeling fearful because of his words, the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department sent someone to deliver a message, which made it seem that the wind direction in the palace was beginning to change.

With more worries in her heart, she could only force out a reluctant smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness. In this case, I will go back first."

Zhu Changluo watched her come in aggressively and leave absent-mindedly, his face calm.

What a coincidence, he didn't expect to run into his father, the emperor, who took the initiative to deliver an oral order.

Given Zheng Mengjing's popularity, she probably knew that things were not going well for her progress recently, so she wanted to find an excuse to show off her power.

However, Zhu Changluo knew that this was not the end of the matter.

As for the oral instructions, has it been put into words?

In the yard, the "ears behind the wall" led by Wei Gang were still kneeling trembling in fear.

In the past, they were not afraid of the eldest prince.

But today is different.

Zhu Changluo did not show off to them, but just said calmly: "Just do what you need to do."

Wei Gang neglected the emperor's eldest son and committed crimes such as "taking things out of context" and "making false accusations without authorization". There is no need to hold him accountable immediately.

How do we know that there won’t be a possibility that it will be used as a surprise attack in the future?
"Mother, go back to your room and calm down. There's no need to worry."

He should also do some psychological preparation for her, as the fight later would be more exciting. However, his opponent was not the eunuchs and palace maids, nor Concubine Zheng and her son, but Zhu Yijun himself.

I don’t know what his father, Daming Zhaizong, is doing now.

Zhu Changluo had a vague impression of his father.

The last time I saw him, it seemed that he was brought to a few cabinet ministers, where he acted out a play of loving father and filial son in order to dispel the court officials' suspicion that the emperor intended to depose the eldest son and enthrone the youngest.

That was ten years ago. Several old cabinet ministers I remember from that time are no longer in the court.

Chen Ju, the chief secretary of the Imperial Household Department and the commander of the Eastern Factory, had previously recommended Wang An to be his study companion. Now he asked Zou Yi to deliver a message. This is worth pondering.

And the cabinet ministers.

The current Prime Minister, Zhao Zhigao, is said to be paralyzed at home due to illness; the Second Prime Minister, Shen Yikuan, is actually in charge of many government affairs alone.

What is their reaction to the emperor’s oral instructions today?
……

In the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, Shen Yikuan looked at the oral instructions he had memorized in front of him. When he looked up at the portrait of the Master hanging in the main hall, his face was full of worry: Today's cabinet ministers are worse than dogs!
[I have received the favor of Heaven and my ancestors, and have granted the birth of Prince Yuan and other princes. I have issued several decrees to clarify this. Since last year, you have submitted several requests. Because the ceremony of enthroning and marrying Prince Yuan is very important, and the palace where you originally lived was too small, I have renovated Ciqing Palace in preparation for moving there.]

[Yesterday the construction of the building was completed, and the grand ceremony can be held one by one. The enfeoffment of the various kings shall be carried out in accordance with the previous order. You should understand my intention and write an imperial edict to the Ministry of Rites to select a day and prepare the ceremony for me.]

So what if there is an oral order?
Even if the imperial edict was written, the emperor could still resort to the strategy of not reporting it and continue to drag it out.

This is not the first time that the emperor has broken his promise to the world!
Shen Shixing eventually stepped down because of the initial round of disputes over the country's foundation, and Wang Jiaping left after only a few months.

Wang Xijue had been raising his hopes for half his life, but after returning to the court, he was disgraced and left the court in disgrace due to the dispute over the "three kings' titles".

When Zhao Zhigao took over, the dispute over the national foundation seemed to have become a topic he dared not even touch, and he was ridiculed as a weak and cowardly prime minister who had no knowledge, no talent, no vision, and no limits.

Now he is paralyzed at home, and all he does all day is resign on time and pretend to be ignorant of everything, big or small.

"Go to Lord Zhao's residence and urge him to do so."

Shen Yikuan instructed a secretary.

The emperor asked him to write an imperial edict, which was easy for him given his literary talent. If Zhao Zhigao had no objection and signed his name, it could be submitted.

Now that Your Majesty has given the oral order, if the Cabinet does not push it forward in time, then the censors and ministers of all ranks will collectively attack the cabinet ministers.

If I can’t do anything to the emperor, how can I do nothing to you?

The position is given up, let us take it!

But if he didn't get the imperial approval and report it, Shen Yikuan would never dare to let the Ministry of Rites know now.

Whoever sits in this position will suffer.

He sighed and picked up the pen again.

He wanted to take it out himself, which showed that he took the matter very seriously.

This location is nice after all.

[I wish to see the eldest son of the Emperor married...]

It was very quiet in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Although the national event seemed like a big deal, this imperial decree did not immediately cause a stir.

The heroes of the Ming Dynasty are not aware that the battle for the national foundation has started a new season.

In the study room in the rear hall of Jingyang Palace, Zhu Changluo was also writing.

[The foundation of a virtuous person is the foundation of a wise person, and the nine chapters prove the supreme power. 】

[If you are not born with the right destiny, it is difficult to enter Longhua to continue your ancestral destiny. ]

Wang An watched Zhu Changluo continue to practice calligraphy of the Jiulian Sutra and thought of Empress Dowager Li, who was given the sutra by the Jiulian Bodhisattva in her dream.

"Your Highness...are you using this scripture to practice calligraphy?"

The emperor had already issued an oral order, and Wang An's voice became louder.

His own calligraphy skills are also good, and it can be seen that the eldest son is imitating the emperor's style of writing.

Zhu Changluo did not stop, but just happened to read out the words he had just copied: "It is so wonderful that it reveals the image of the acquired world!"

His position before coming to this world, in today's terms, was just that of a county staff advisor.

But he has studied hard for seventeen years, experienced hard work for fifteen years, traveled all over China and abroad, and studied politics in depth. Now he is destined to be the emperor. Should he wait another twenty years and be Emperor Guangzong for one month?
In the image of the day after tomorrow, the Ming Dynasty's reign is already entering the countdown.

There is a saying in later generations: The Ming Dynasty actually perished during the Wanli period.

Afterwards, the Jurchens came to power and became complacent.

It's not that the Zhu family is better. But since Zhu Changluo was born into the Zhu family, and since he had a destiny, why not continue the achievements of Zulong and make the Ming Dynasty even greater and more glorious?
It's always easier than rebelling and sitting on the throne.

It's his season, and the version has been updated.

It is tentatively scheduled to be updated at 12 noon and 10 pm every day.
