Chapter 420: The Long Journey is Coming Soon
The imperial study was quiet, only the gurgling sound of the water in the leaky pot flowing from the delicately carved dragon's mouth, and I don't know how long it took, until Ma Xiuying saw the bronze man holding the arrow shaft on the quiver lid move, and then heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sound again.
"Let's just arrange it that way, huh...... The people of Zhumen named them pro-army captains, and let them continue to secretly investigate the intelligence of all parties for me, and engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. Zhu Wei's people ruled over the Yiluan Division, and were in charge of my honor guards and guards. Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and made the above decision. He also promised to reward Yingwei after the war subsided, as the Son of Heaven is not good to break his word, but he is not completely at ease with Zhu Men, who is a spy outside, so he left Zhu Wei in the capital, and Zhu Men continued to send activities to various places.
It didn't take long for Zhu Yuanzhang to reorganize the shadow guard and set up the Gongwei Division, which was divided into the Duwei Division and the Dingyi Luan Division. However, the person in charge of the Duwei Division was not a shadow guard like Xu Wu who had made great contributions, but a little-known person named Mao Xiang.
Ma Xiuying thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about the people who were in charge of the shadow guard, so she appointed her cronies, until she accidentally learned from Xu Wu that Mao Xiang was Xu Wu's subordinate in Pingjiang before, and at that time she couldn't help but guess whether Mao Xiang was behind Xu Wu and others, and secretly reported all the movements of the shadow guard to Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Yuanzhang reused him. It's just that this matter can't be confronted with the parties, and in the end, it will be over.
The establishment of the Gongwei Division caused a turmoil among the ministers, and they all did not know Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to establish a Gongwei Division, and it was also very strange why this Gongwei Division was not authorized by the six departments, but was directly under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Someone once said that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears, but the ministers still didn't think so. Until one time, Zhu Liangzu, a major official of Guangdong Frontier, accepted bribes on a large scale during his tenure, bent the law for bribes, privately arsoned with death row prisoners, and arbitrarily exploited him, which was a disaster. After Zhu Yuanzhang found out the facts of the case, he designed to recall him back to the capital and whipped him to death above the court.
The Chinese military officials shuddered. They were not only shocked that Zhu Yuanzhang could ruthlessly execute the founding father Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu, but they were also afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang was in the palace, but he could gain insight into things thousands of miles away. Only then did the ministers know the power of the Gong Wei Division, and it turned out that the Gong Wei Division was really Zhu Yuanzhang's all-pervasive eyes and ears, specializing in supervising officials and assessing their words and deeds.
With the presence and deterrence of the Gong Wei Division, the ministers became more and more trembling, for fear that one would be accidentally crowned with various crimes by the Gong Wei Division.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the supervisory role of the Gong Wei Division, and later simply changed the Gong Wei Division to Jinyi Wei, which was in charge of important administrations such as Yiluan, guards, detectives, and justice.
Even Ma Xiuying, who handed over the film guard organization to Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't expect that this Gongwei Division was actually the predecessor of Jinyiwei, a well-known spy agency in history. At this time, she thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for the grace of the shadow guard and was busy going back to continue to learn the queen's etiquette.
The post-sealing ceremony was held on the third day after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne. On the morning of the canonization, Luan Yiwei Chen managed to drive outside the Fengtian Palace, and set up the Empress to drive under the palace steps and outside the palace gate. Hundreds of civil and military officials stood in the main hall to watch the ceremony.
Many years later, Ma Xiuying still clearly remembers the day she was canonized as queen. That day was her most glorious day, and it was also her hardest day.
Before dawn, Ma Xiuying was called up by several palace maids to bathe and change clothes, in order to avoid her being anxious when holding the ceremony, Xunying actually didn't let her drink water, and was only allowed to eat a small amount of snacks.
Ma Xiuying half-squinted and let the four palace maids of Pink Lotus, Bai Ling, Zijuan, and Green Willow toss, so busy that the sky turned white, and the appearance of a dignified and luxurious queen was finally concocted by several people.
Xun Ying held the bronze mirror, only to see that the woman in the mirror was wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, with a golden cloud dragon pearl on her forehead, and beads and emerald flowers were pasted on her two cheeks and eyebrows, and her hairline was pasted with pearl and emerald flowers, and the long beaded earrings hung down to her shoulders. Wear a dark cyan black collar embroidered with a phoenix inside, and wear a bright red Zhai coat woven of silk outside, which is long to the feet. He wears white linen socks and heavy wooden soles on his feet, and holds Yugu Gui in his hand. Although the appearance is not very clear, a luxurious air comes to the face.
Ma Xiuying looked at it again and again, the woman in the mirror was so familiar and yet so unfamiliar.
Xun Ying dutifully reminded: "Master, it's time to go. ”
"Swing!" Ma Xiuying took a deep breath, put her hand on Fushun's hand, and slowly sat down on her shoulder.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time!" Along the way, Xun Xiang kept urging as if he was burning his ass.
The palace people encountered along the way knelt down and saluted, "Queen Mother Chitose!Chitose!Chitose!" The shouts were endless, resounding in every corner of the palace, reaching the ears of the harem concubines, some were happy, some were envious, and some were so jealous that their hearts were broken.
Shoulder-to-shoulder to the outside of the Fengtian Palace, Ma Xiuying got off the sedan chair and walked.
Looking at it from afar, everyone saw a dignified and noble, graceful and graceful woman Lotus Bushengbo walked slowly, the head of pearls and emeralds reflected a dazzling light in the sun, the sleeves flew like a phoenix spreading its wings, and one hundred and forty-eight pairs of colorful pheasants on Zhai clothes danced around the phoenix.
When I got closer, I saw this woman with a smooth and jade face, turning her eyes**, without spitting out her words, her breath was like a quiet orchid, looking forward to the brilliance, and her demeanor was thousands. Especially with a perfectly curved smile on the corner of her mouth and an extremely confident look in her eyes, she is telling everyone that the queen has arrived!
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, and there was a chair next to him, which was the throne prepared for Ma Xiuying. Although the Bilong chair is slightly back, although it can only be placed in the Fengtian Temple for one day, this symbolizes that Ma Xiuying is his wife and the mother of the country who is comparable to him.
The celebrant read out with great vigour:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
Today, there are Ma's gentle and gentle, Kexian Neize, Yizhao female teaching in the six palaces; elegant and dignified, Shude with chapters, should be the mother of all countries. I take Bao Lier as the queen, and her Shang Hong is filial piety, Kezan is diligent, Maoben Zhiyi Ye is resting, and Zuozong Temple is worshipping Weixin. Greatly. ”
Ma Xiuying respectfully knelt down at the foot of the steps, Zhu Yuanzhang put the golden book and golden treasure into her hands, and led her to sit on the chair to accept the congratulations of the ministers.
Suddenly, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live! Niang Niang Chitose! Chitose! Chitose!"
The bells and drums outside the hall rang in unison, and the magnificent bells rang far and wide, penetrating the palace, reaching into the sky, resounding through the heavens and the earth, announcing to the world that the queen of the Ming Dynasty was born.
