The suburbs of Beijing, northwest.

The prince of the prison state led hundreds of civil and military officials and went out of the city for ten miles to welcome Wang Yuan's triumph.

This scene couldn't be more grand, but there is no suspicion of overstepping the system.

First, Wang Yuan went out on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the crown prince and civil and military officials must carry out the etiquette of welcoming the Son of Heaven. Second, Wang Yuan's military achievements this time are outstanding, and the northern border of the Ming Dynasty has been restored to the state of its heyday in the early Ming Dynasty.

Around noon, the Triumphant troops finally appeared.

At the forefront were the Tengxiang Four Guards, who drove the emperor's chariot and held high the Daxu and dragon flags. Then there were Wang Yuan and the civil and military officials, Wang Yuan behaved very low-key, treating himself as an ordinary civil official who went out with the imperial car.

"Bye!"

The procession stopped, and the hundred officials bowed, and they worshiped the royal chariot and the dragon flag.

After a series of ceremonies, the eunuch began to read out the edict of the edict, and promoted Wang Yuan Guanglu to the doctor, the right pillar of the country, and the title of prince and young prince.

All of Wang Yuan's official positions became: Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites (Zheng Erpin), Prince Shaobao (Zheng Erpin), Dongge University Scholar (Zheng Wupin, cabinet official position, can only listen to politics for the time being), Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi (Zheng Sanpin, Chief Prince Division), Bachelor of Hanlin Academy (Zheng Wupin Honorary Position), and Guanglu Doctor (from the first rank of the rank), Right Pillar Country (Zheng Yi Rank of Honor).

There is no substantive reward, compared to Wang Yuan's great achievements, Zhu Houzhao is very picky this time.

The reason for this is nothing more than leaving it to the crown prince.

Now all the officials in the court know that once the new emperor ascends the throne, Wang Yuan will definitely enter the cabinet, and Zhu Houzhao has pressed Wang Erlang for several years.

The rest of the civil and military officials who went out with the army did not have any rewards, and they were left to the prince for grace.

Wang Yuan did not enter the city, and after the triumphal ceremony, he went directly to Haoshan Garden to meet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister is back." Wang Yuan bowed.

Zhu Houzhao's cardiopulmonary function has weakened to the extreme, and it is difficult to breathe. He also has poor blood supply to the whole body, his brain is dizzy all the time, and he needs to be wrapped in a quilt when he is so cold.

Seeing Wang Yuan, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be in good spirits, and said with a smile: "Very good, Erlang's gift, I like it very much." I have already ordered those scimitars and harnesses to be my funeral offerings. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty is blessed by the mandate of heaven, and you will definitely live a long life." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "I didn't want to live a long life, if I can drink a few fewer glasses, maybe I can live for another two years." But in life, you can't drink wine in front of you, what's the meaning of living? ”

Wang Yuan was silent.

Zhu Houzhao also stopped talking, as if he was in deep thought, and the room was so quiet that he could hear the sound of falling needles.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said to himself: "I ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and my youth was indulgent, ignorant of reason, and his behavior was ridiculous. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous that the king of a country was fooled by a few eunuchs. ”

Wang Yuan comforted: "Everyone has a time when they don't have more to do. ”

Zhu Houzhao still wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth to say something, and finally waved his hand and said, "Go." ”

Wang Yuan bowed and retired.

Zhu Houzhao completely fell into memories, the absurd years of the Eight Tigers, and the twelve orchids who hurt their kidneys, and Jiang Bin, Qian Ningna and other ministers. By the way, in the Battle of Yingzhou, he personally captured the grandson of Dayan Khan and released people back to the steppe to become the current Bodi Khan.

Daning took it back, Hetao also took it back, and the Jianzhou Jurchens were also beaten so that they didn't dare to offend.

Also, there is Annan who has not recovered, that is the political secretary of the Ming Dynasty!

Also, there is the far east, I really want to go to sea to see it in person, how happy it should be to ride a giant boat to withstand the waves?

I'm not reconciled!

……

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wang Zan died of illness directly, Peng Ze became paralyzed, and only Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji and Wang Qiong were left in the cabinet.

Wang Yuan pointed to the map and said, "That's what I think, it's time for the nine sides to change." Hetao Town, abolished Yansui Town, Yansui area under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Buzheng Division. Jining Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, Datong and Taiyuan Towns, the central and southern parts are under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Buzheng Division, the northwest is under the jurisdiction of Hetao Town, and the northeast is under Jining Town; Daning Town, Ji Town, Daning Dusi Abolished, Jizhen North Wei Office is under the jurisdiction of Daning Town, and the central and southern parts are under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu. In addition, Wanquan Town was placed, Wanquan City Division was abolished, Xuanfu Town was abolished, and Xuanfu was merged into Wanquan Town as a whole. ”

Everyone stared at the map for a long time, and they all expressed their approval.

In the future, there are only seven sides of Daming, from west to east: Gansu Town, Ningxia Town, Hetao Town, Jining Town, Wanquan Town, Daning Town, Liaodong Town.

Yansui, Xuanda, and Jizhen have been made by Wang Yuan not to be frontiers.

Ningxia General Soldier Qiu Luan, a bunch of dirty things have been known to Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan plans to let Deputy Chief Soldier Zhou Shangwen take over his position.

Li Jin, the general soldier of Datong, performed well and was transferred to the general army of Hetao.

Liang Zhen, deputy chief soldier of Datong, was promoted to Wanquan general soldier.

Yuan Da was promoted to the general army of Jining, this position is very critical, and he can go out to conquer the Chahar Department.

Liu Tao, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, was transferred to the general army of Wanquan, and Zheng Hu was the deputy chief soldier. This place is also important, and he also goes out to fight the Chahar Department, what Wang Yuan really values is Zheng Hu, but his qualifications are still shallow and he can't be directly promoted to the general army.

Sima Yong, the capital of Daning, was transferred to the general army of Daning, and he also went out to fight the Chahar Department.

Yu Dayou was promoted to the general of Liaobei, responsible for resisting the remaining Fuyu and Taining guards among the three guards of Duoyan, as well as the disobedient Haixi Jurchen.

All the guards in southern Liaoning were withdrawn and set up as counties, and the military households were converted into civilian households, and the Shandong political department was sent to participate in the administration of governance.

Of the abandoned border towns, half of the guards were abolished, and half of the guards were moved north to the new border towns.

Wang Yuan planned to take advantage of the great victory in the north to take the opportunity to attack the frontier guards, and those who were disobedient could try to see if their necks were harder than those of the Mongols.

The new border towns were established, all of them were changed to military generals, military attaches were not allowed to be hereditary, and military households were converted into civilian households, and the battalion system (recruitment) was implemented thereafter. The military attachés of Xuanfu and Datong Town, which were abandoned, were dissolved on the spot and turned into private households, and the imperial court spent money to buy out the hereditary officials. If you take the initiative to sign up to go to Xinbian Town, you can be promoted to a hereditary transfer position, and those who have no official can also be given a large piece of land.

Wang Yuan sent six imperial historians to these places as governors in one go, specializing in dealing with related work.

Which general is not satisfied, he can choose to rebel and lead his troops to kill him. Just confiscated the family property and distributed the land to the veterans who had just converted to the people's households and had no land to cultivate.

The above reforms are only aimed at the border towns that have changed, and will not be implemented nationwide for the time being.

Doing these things is much more complicated than fighting the Mongols.

Yang Tinghe said that he would not mix, and let Wang Yuan choose the governor, and he waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

Wang Yuan was busy dealing with the issue of military reform with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Military Department, and the Governor's Office of the Six Armies, and the gift of prisoners had not yet begun, and the selection of the concubine of the crown prince Zhu Zaiyan had been completed.

To choose the crown princess, when 5,000 people are selected in the country, all of them are girls between the ages of 13 and 16, and they must be innocent, preferably from a poor family.

However, this time the selection was very anxious, and only in the two or three provinces around Shuntianfu, all the beautiful and dignified ones were selected by the eunuchs.

After the audition, 5,000 girls entered Beijing, and the eunuchs began the primary election again, eliminating 1,000 of them.

Then re-select, carefully observe the facial features, hair, skin, timbre, demeanor, etc., those with bad voices, dry and yellow hair, and so on eliminated 2,000 people.

Let's select again, measure the size of your hands and feet with a ruler, and walk to see the charm, and then eliminate a thousand people.

The remaining 1,000 people entered the palace to select, took off their whole body clothes, and were strictly inspected by the old palace maids, and those with slight scars were not wanted, so there were only 300 people left.

The emperor then sent special personnel, either eunuchs or palace maids, to observe three hundred maidens for a month, leaving fifty people of dignified and gentle manners, and these fifty people could be concubines.

In the end, the queen mother or concubine elected three of them, and the emperor appointed one of them.

Except for the one appointed by the emperor, other girls can be returned. Not only to give travel expenses, but also to reward money, can attack the election of a thousand girls, back to their hometown must be worth a hundred times, I don't know how many gentry rush to propose, because they are all certified by the royal family.

Historically, when Mingguang Sect selected the crown princess, the Liu sisters were all in the top three. In order to prevent the sisters from joining forces to dominate the harem, they returned their sisters. As long as this sister stays, she must be a concubine, and after returning to her hometown, she thinks very highly of herself and has never married in her life.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to see his son get married before he died, but this time the audition only took twenty-five days, and there were many crooked melons and cracked dates among the five thousand girls who entered Beijing.

Fortunately, when the three hundred people were selected, they were all beautiful and dignified, so that they would not marry a dinosaur for the prince.
