Emperor Hongzhi sighed, looking at these enthusiastic merchants and common people.

At this time... Of course, there is joy in my heart that the money in my heart has skyrocketed.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a hidden worry in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi walked out of the exchange in silence, and Xiao Jing followed him around.

After Emperor Hongzhi boarded the chariot, he ordered Xiao Jing to accompany him in the chariot.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's worried look, Xiao Jing probably understood in his heart: "The emperor is worried."

Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Xiao Jing, and finally said: "I see two worlds and two kinds of people. I am thinking, are these people who secretly say that the crown prince doesn't look like a king, are they... really treating the crown prince?" With dissatisfaction in my heart, after the crown prince ascends the throne, can he really control them?"

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"These words are for those who want to be at ease. I don't believe this sentence. I only know that only the grace of my father and grandfather can protect my children and grandchildren. Over the years, I have seen many people who reject the New Deal. These merchants, those ministers, can be said to be incompatible." Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and he said: "I don't want the foundation I left to the prince to be flawed. Although beautiful jade is inevitably flawed, it's okay if I don't know it. I know, but I always feel that there is a thorn in my heart, and I want to pull out this thorn!"

pulled out!

Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat.

He is very clear about the meaning behind this lightly drawn word.

Could it be...does Your Majesty want to emulate Emperor Taizu Gao?

For example... the case of Hu Weiyong.

This case of Hu Weiyong is not trivial. Hu Weiyong was the prime minister during the period of Emperor Taizu Gao. Because of this case, tens of thousands of people were involved, and most of them were noble officials.

His Majesty said that these thorns should be pulled out completely, I am afraid... the scale will not be smaller than this.

It's just... Your Majesty has always been kind... This... This...

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "The factory guards will sort out the behavior of all the ministers and officials, and report them to me. Who are they, what have they said and what have they done? These words are in the open. Whether it is said above or in secret, everything must be summed up, and it must be carefully investigated, so that nothing can be overlooked."

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing was frightened, His Majesty really wanted to...

Xiao Jing is not a decisive person, it can even be said... He is different from many eunuchs, he is not a person who holds power and kills wantonly.

Even if he has his own small thoughts, he also has a mean and selfish side, but when he thinks that His Majesty has such thoughts...

For a moment, he was completely bewildered. In the car, he curled up in the car, prostrated himself, and said with a grim expression: "Your Majesty has always been kind, how could it be... now that he is killing people? If so, I'm afraid Going against His Majesty's original intention, Your Majesty... Once this happens, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, after thousands of years..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him calmly: "I have my own opinions, you just do what you are told, and I know what you want to say, but I will be free from worries after finishing this matter."

Your Majesty, is this a resolution class?

Fear arose in Xiao Jing's heart, but for this sake, he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

Although His Majesty and the Crown Prince have very different personalities, they have one thing in common. Once they make up their minds, they cannot be controlled by ordinary people.

…………

In the town government...

Zhu Houzhao didn't care what his father was plotting at all.

At this moment, he was grinning at the officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The enthronement ceremony is about to begin. According to the rules, the Ministry of Rites not only needs to determine the auspicious date, but also prepares all the rules and etiquette required for the ceremony.

And on that day, the crown prince was the focus of all the people.

At that time, how should the ministers kneel, how should they salute to the emperor, and how should they salute to the new emperor, where should the new emperor stand first, then where should he sit, how to accept the etiquette of all officials, and what should he say? ...is not at all sloppy.

The Ministry of Rites specially sent someone here to teach the prince how to deal with this red tape.

Zhu Houzhao naturally refused, and now... the doctor of the Ministry of Rites has a bruised nose and a swollen face, but he still stretches his neck. What are you hitting? If you have the ability, hit me again.

Fang Jifan put his feet on the sidelines and smirked.

Because the way Zhu Houzhao walks in small steps, he looks like a duck.

Fang Jifan laughed once, and Zhu Houzhao was annoyed once, and he simply used the doctor of the Ministry of Rites to vent his anger.

The doctor is very tough, because if there is a problem with the ceremony, he must be responsible. In the face of life danger, he must be strong and persevere.

Zhu Houzhao finally got impatient: "Okay, okay, I'll learn tomorrow, I'll learn tomorrow, isn't there still three or five days left?"

"Your Highness, there are still two more days." The doctor curled his lips, he felt that he was going crazy, the prince felt tired, but he was actually even more tired!

Zhu Houzhao said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just to go up and listen to the emperor's will first, and when he canonize me as the emperor, I will sit on the dragon chair and call myself a widow."

"It's different." Lang Zhong said very seriously: "Your Highness, although it is easy to say, it is not easy to do. For example, how many times should Your Highness ask for resignation? After that... how many steps should His Majesty take to walk up to the golden throne? Step forward with the left foot or the right foot first, that is, after the emperor takes the throne, what should be the speed of speech?

how long……"

Zhu Houzhao was dizzy and said angrily: "Shut up, if you dare to talk too much, I will castrate you and send you into the palace."

But Langzhong didn't change his face, he stuck his neck, and looked stubborn: "Today, the left is dead, and the right is also dead. If there is a mistake in the grand ceremony, the minister will die without a place to bury him. If your highness beats the minister to death, he will still die." , at least the minister can appear to be stronger when he dies like this, so let’s just say it straight, if His Highness can’t learn it, the minister doesn’t plan to go out alive today!”

He patted himself on the forehead very stubbornly: "If your Highness is furious, just do it, just hit here, and give this minister a good time!"

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment, and seeing that Fang Jifan was honest, he said, "Should I step with the left foot or the right foot first?"

"Since the Xia Dynasty, court officials have respected the left; swallow drinking, murder, and military affairs have respected the right. In the Spring and Autumn Period, court officials respected the left; military officials respected the right. After that, the Qin people respected the left. The Han Dynasty respected the right. The officials of the Six Dynasties respected the left, Yan Yin respects the right. The enthronement ceremony is a grand ceremony, not a military event, so respect the left and step with the left foot first."

Zhu Houzhao looked unbearable again: "I asked casually, why are you talking so much?"

"Everything has its origin, and if there is no origin, it is duckweed without roots. Your Highness doesn't know, so I should tell you. If you tell me, Your Highness knows it."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

After being tortured like this for two days, Zhu Houzhao has already started to shake his sleeves, saying that he will not be the emperor anymore.

It was hard to wait for the auspicious day.

As soon as this day passed, Zhu Houzhao was surrounded by many ministers.

Fang Jifan was also brought here.

He protested loudly, it's not that he is the emperor, why did he get up so early.

But in fact, no one paid him any attention.

Regardless of whether they are happy or worried, all the officials are waiting at Daming Gate early.

Wearing a boa robe, Zhu Houzhao looked around and called out, "Old Fang, where is Lao Fang?"

So the eunuchs hurriedly looked around.

Liu Jin was the most active in looking for it.

He returned to Beijing under the order, once he made a fortune, now he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, his whole face is full of red. As soon as he heard that the crown prince was looking for his grandfather, he excitedly walked around the town's mansion a few times, but the others couldn't find it no matter what, they were all running around in a hurry, only Liu Jin yelled: "Where can I find it here?" sleep?"

"At the back, there is a side room..."

"Walk!"

Liu Jin hurried to the side room, and when the door opened, sure enough...

So everyone dragged Fang Jifan out again, Fang Jifan saw Zhu Houzhao who was yawning, and both the monarch and his ministers were in pain.

But when Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan, he was still happy: "It's good that old Fang is here. I'm afraid that you will fall asleep. If I don't sleep, don't sleep either. You stay with me and enter the palace with me. Today Son...it's a big day for me, come on, let's have a smile."

Fang Jifan grinned, and then the muscles on his face tensed again.

So the brigade marched mightily towards the Daming Palace.

This time, instead of going to Meridian Gate, I went directly to the direction of Daming Gate.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead the officials into the palace from the Daming Gate.

At this time, outside the Daming Gate, all the civil and military officials dressed in new clothes stood solemnly.

But... many people's faces were ashen, and they didn't look happy at all.

As soon as the prince's car arrived, it was a pity that it was still early and the Daming Gate had not yet opened, so we had to wait patiently here.

Countless people saw the prince and whispered to each other.

Seeing the way the prince was walking, many people laughed in their hearts.

This prince... doesn't seem to be half polite.

Not like an emperor.

Of course, on such occasions, everyone would dare not say such words.

When they saw Duke Qi driving beside the prince, many people's eyes showed deep hatred.

This time... quite a few people, like Liu Jing, Minister of the Taichang Temple, suffered heavy losses because of short selling.

Many people... have long lost the sense of the prestige of being a minister of the court, and only feel that they are bereaved dogs.

Now... Qi Guogong is about to enter the cabinet, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne. From now on... I'm afraid that the real hard days are coming soon.

Such a desolate feeling makes people wish they could simply die.

Zhu Houzhao naturally also felt that he didn't care about those strange eyes at all. He looked like a lala, and even said happily to the other party Jifan: "Old Fang, I will be the emperor soon, and I will be the emperor soon." , How about giving you an official position?"

Fang Jifan said modestly with a smile: "Your Highness is too polite, this... this... minister is not a person for fame, so what... what official position?"

"Emperor!" Zhu Houzhao said firmly.

Fang Jifan's legs felt weak all of a sudden, and his eyes felt dark.

Unfortunately, my skull started to hurt.
