Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Even though it’s not complete now.

But everything is in his control, and it is only a matter of time before he sits on the throne.

There is more in his mind.

Instead, it is an urgency and responsibility.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers shouted in unison and stood up with a rustle.

"If you have a document, please proceed with your report. If you don't, please leave the court." Ma Sanbao said according to the procedure.

Immediately afterwards, Ren Hengtai stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, according to the Ministry of Rites' calculations, tomorrow, the eighth day of the eighth month, is the most auspicious day of the year. The coronation ceremony should be held to officially ascend the throne."

"The preparations for the coronation ceremony have been completed. Your Majesty, tomorrow, please offer sacrifices to the deceased emperor and announce it to the world. Then, ascend the throne in Fengtian Hall! All ministers, witness the ceremony!"

Recently.

As the Minister of Rites, Ren Hengtai is very busy.

On the one hand, he had to preside over the funeral and take care of the person in the coffin, and on the other hand, he had to rush to build the altar and arrange the coronation ceremony...

Now the project has finally been completed.

He worked so hard because he knew that the new emperor did not only sit on the throne with the support of the Huaixi nobles, but also had the secret support of His Majesty. It was more legitimate than ever, and he was the one he must be loyal to and cling to.

Naturally, he couldn't wait to report and take credit as soon as he entered the court.

Zhu Yunhuan had an indifferent expression as he sat on the upper seat in the Fengtian Hall. He did not speak, but looked down at the court officials in the hall with interest.

This date was set early in the morning at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

There wasn't much surprise on anyone's face, but when the moment finally arrived, their expressions were somewhat complicated—sighs, realization, bewilderment, disbelief...

I always feel like these few days.

Like a dream.

How could the Third Prince of the Eastern Palace have...been sitting in Fengtian Hall without waiting for their reaction? Was he about to ascend the throne?

It just doesn't allow people to think too much or question it.

You can feel an extremely oppressive gaze wandering among the crowd, as if observing, as if joking... making people dare not look directly at it.

They had not forgotten that day at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, His Majesty uttered four words without any emotion, "The entire family will be executed", and in an instant the vegetable market was filled with people.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne tomorrow!"

"..."

However, after hesitating for a moment, everyone in the Fengtian Hall did not dare to neglect and responded to Ren Hengtai's words in a mixed voice.

This is imperial power.

This is the authority above all people!

Seeing everyone bowing and urging him to come in, Zhu Yunhuan raised his lips to an imperceptible smile and said calmly, "Next item."

"Just now I met the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate... His eyes seemed to have deep meaning. Do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows, looked at an old man standing next to Zhan Hui, and called out his name directly.

Censorate.

Before the 13th year of Hongwu, it was called the Censorate.

It is the duty of inspecting all officials and the responsibility of advising the emperor.

Apart from people like Zhan Hui who hold real power in the six ministries, to put it bluntly, it is a department of censors who impeach this today and impeach that tomorrow.

To put it more bluntly: professional troll.

Of course, during the Hongwu Dynasty, the responsibility of "advising the emperor" was almost exempted.

Who doesn’t know that Lao Zhu has a worse temper than anyone else?

In the past, at least there was Empress Ma to help. But since Empress Ma passed away, anyone who dared to expose Zhu Yuanzhang would be killed instantly.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang still needed this Censorate, and he also needed this group of fearless trolls in the Censorate to report the injustices in the court - such as corruption, dereliction of duty, etc.

This is an offensive job.

So the Censorate is basically still stubborn.

Yuan Tai, the Right Censor-in-Chief named by Zhu Yunhuan, was the first person in the Censorate after Zhan Hui. Zhan Hui also held the real power of the Minister of Rites. He could not be considered a professional censor. In terms of professional troll, Yuan Tai was the first one.

During these days, ministers had to pay homage to the Qianqing Palace morning, noon and evening. Naturally, the fact that Zhu Yunhuan was "tending flowers and plants" and "smelting ceramics" in the Qianqing Palace could not be concealed at all.
