Chapter 493: Hongli ascends the throne

In the Shengjing Palace, the fourth elder brother Hongli's eyes were red, he looked at Ma Qi and the others who were kneeling down, and said sadly: "Several adults, now that my Ama has passed away, what should we do in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Ma Qi already had a comprehensive plan in his heart, and immediately said loudly: "The emperor has already instructed the minions and others before the war, but if there is a change, the edict can be opened to determine the succession of the world." ”

Zhang Tingyu, who has not yet spoken, frowned, the emperor previously ordered Prince Zhuang Yunlu, scholar Xu Yuanmeng, Mar Sai and him Zhang Tingyu to be ministers of care, although there are various changes in the follow-up, but this edict has not changed, strictly speaking, Ma Qi was still squatting at home at that time.

But now that the emperor has died, Prince Zhuang Yunlu and scholar Xu Yuanmeng are still on the road and have not returned to Shengjing, and he Zhang Tingyu and Marseille have not yet spoken, and he Ma Qi is about to announce the edict?

However, Zhang Tingyu knew in his heart that his weight was not enough, so he was silent at the moment. But Marseille was different, he didn't accept the old man Ma Qi in his heart, coughed lightly, attracted everyone's attention, and then slowly spoke: "To start the matter of the emperor's edict, do you have to wait for Prince Zhuang Yunlu and scholar Xu Yuanmeng to come over?" ”

Ma Qi didn't take it seriously, facing the queen and a few elder brothers, showing a look of relying on the old and selling the old, he waved his hand, "The country can't be without a king for a day, and now my Qing Dynasty can't have an empty throne, and it is a big deal to determine the succession as soon as possible, as for Prince Zhuang and Lord Xu, they should be able to understand." ”

Marseille wanted to refute, but at that moment, he saw Hongli's expectant eyes again, and he had to swallow the words into his stomach and stop talking.

Seeing that no one objected, Ma Qi no longer hesitated, and sent someone to the General Administration Department to open the edict, and everyone knelt directly in front of them, waiting for the edict to be read.

"Emperor Zhenmeng took the Shengzuren Emperor as the subject of the sect, carefully selected among the sons, and ordered me to inherit the unification, Shao Deng Dabao, and work hard all night, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the load. However, the heart of the Holy Ancestor of the body is the heart, and the government of the Holy Ancestor of the Law is the government, and he is diligent in governing and nurturing Haoli. Nothing is exhaustive, and there is no time when it is not deeply respected......."

When Ma Qi read this, everyone's expressions couldn't help but become solemn, although they knew that the succession had been decided, they were still a little nervous.

"Prince Bao's fourth son, Hongli, is benevolent, filial piety, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor is the most loved among the grandchildren, raising the palace, and the grace is more than usual....... Now that he has suffered a major event, he will succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne. ”

When Hongli heard the end, he finally let out a long sigh, collapsed on his knees, and a howl squeezed out of his throat, as if a signal sounded, and everyone began to howl.

When this happened, although Ma Qi did not have the qualifications of a minister, he was an old minister of the three dynasties after all, with outstanding prestige, and he had the merit of establishing himself, so he was immediately appointed by Hongli as the prime minister of Gu Ming, and together with Marsey and Zhang Tingyu, he began to help the new monarch stabilize the current situation.

The current Qing Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles, in addition to the threat of the Fu Han army that will soon arrive, there is also the problem of internal confusion, so the Prime Minister ordered the Prime Minister to do the matter of Hongli's enthronement, and did not choose to do a big job, and even did not wait for Xu Yuanmeng and others to lead the army back, they had already announced their enthronement in Shengjing, and directly promulgated the year name 'Qianlong', which was taken from the meaning of Tiandao Changlong.

After the completion of the enthronement, everyone gathered around Hongli, no, Emperor Qianlong sat on the dragon chair in the main hall of the Shengjing Palace, and then hundreds of courtiers in Shengjing began to bow to Qianlong three times and nine bows, shouting long live.

"All the ministers, please get up, I am young and virtuous, and I have not made any achievements in state affairs, and the major politics of the DPRK and China still need to be undertaken by the ministers."

Hongli pursed his lips, he looked at the courtiers kneeling in the hall, after all, he was a young man, and he could barely suppress the excitement in his heart.

Ma Qi said: "Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, the minions and others will naturally try their best to be loyal and overcome the Central Plains as soon as possible." ”

Hongli nodded, his eyes seemed to have a light in his eyes, and he said loudly: "The ambition of the imperial examination has not been paid, and the first soldier has collapsed, and I also yearn for it, and I should also take the imperial examination as the mind, and work together with all the secretaries to help the rivers and mountains, and restore the Qing Dynasty and the mountains and rivers!" ”

.........

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Ning Yu held a great court meeting in the Fengtian Hall of the Jingshi Imperial Palace, and since the Fu Han army entered the capital, the palace was blocked to prevent many lawbreakers from destroying the palace - so Ning Yu just replaced the names of the original palace with the names of the Ming period, and went to work very happily.

The ministers who participated in the court meeting were basically ministers who participated in the Northern Expedition, and there were some generals, and they were divided into two classes of civil and military and stood in the Fengtian Palace, and they were all very excited.

After all, no matter what, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Beijing division has always been the top priority in the world, and the people of the world all regard the Beijing division as orthodox, even if it is Nanjing, there is more or less a feeling of accompanying the capital.

Therefore, since the capture of the Beijing Division, there have been people who have blown the wind in front of Ning Yu and want to return the capital to the Beijing Division-they all have their own ideas, but there is no doubt that they also represent a kind of wind direction from the government and the opposition.

From his point of view, Lidu is not only about where he will work and live in the future, but also about the balance between the north and the south.

For China, there has always been a difference in development between the north and the south, east and west, some places are rich, and some places are barren, which will cause a situation, like the rich local court can usually hold it, but the poor place, it is basically difficult to completely control it, like the Ming Dynasty abandoned Jiaozhi to have such a consideration.

Therefore, when establishing the capital, the political considerations of the monarch are usually reflected, such as Zhu Di's relocation of the capital to Beijing, the main purpose of which is to move the strategic center of gravity to the north by moving the center of the imperial court to the capital, so as to better combat the remnant Yuan forces.

If you look at it according to this logic, Ning Yu naturally can't ignore the strategic role of the capital, and looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Since the Northern Expedition, Shandong, Henan and even Zhili have all fallen into our hands, and even Shanxi is about to be completely conquered, which can be described as a great victory!" ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”

The ministers have opened their mouths to praise, in their eyes, Ning Yu was able to lead the army from scratch, overcoming the Central Plains in just a few years, it is comparable to the ancestors of Tang Zong Mingzu, especially this time the Northern Expedition battle, it is even more defeating the Qing army, after all, how can the Northern Expedition of the past dynasties be so clean?

Ning Yu bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Even so, but we can't be careless, after all, the strength of the puppet Qing Dynasty is still endless, and it still has the land of Liaodong, and there are still Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai-Tibet, and Uriya Sutai vassal domains, so the Northern Expedition has not really ended, and your Qing family cannot relax." ”

Cui Wancai, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Your Majesty is right, you must not condone the remnants of the Qing to survive in the world, and you need to send a large army to level Liaodong and kill them all." ”

Everyone was like a mirror in their hearts at the moment, and they immediately spoke: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers are willing to do their best to restore the great cause of the unification of China." ”

Ning Yu laughed, and immediately spit out his meaning, "Things are heavy in the north, so the capital should also be set up to control the four directions, but the land of Nanjing is very important, and it cannot be abolished, therefore, I think that the Erjing system is feasible, the Beijing division is the northern capital, and Nanjing is the southern capital." ”

"What Your Majesty says is very true, and the ministers should also abide by it."

The main purpose of the Great Dynasty Meeting was to retreat, so after the next dynasty, Ning Yu quickly sent someone to invite the cabinet ministers over, and immediately looked at the ministers and said softly: "The affairs in the north are heavy, and they are by no means under Nanjing, so I will stay in Beijing for a long time, and the cabinet and the Privy Council should also arrange for important officials to enter Beijing, and the direction of Nanjing can be temporarily left to the deputy." ”

Cui Wancai stroked his beard and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the ministers have already replied to the urgent delivery to Nanjing a few years ago, and the cabinet believes that before February, it will be directly moved to Beijing, and the Executive Yuan will urgently allocate a group of practical talents to enter Beijing to reorganize the major yamen and stabilize the political situation." ”

Ning Yu nodded, he was still very relieved about the cabinet's methods, and said softly: "After Li Zicheng entered the Beijing Division, it didn't take long for him to be driven out of the Beijing Division by the Qing Dynasty, this is a lesson for us, and the Cabinet and the Privy Council must carefully understand the experience and lessons that this incident has brought us!" ”

Everyone was slightly silent, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to govern the world, which can be vividly reflected from the experience in Nanjing, it can be said that if it were not for Ning Chu in the process of fighting the world, he has not given up the cultivation of practical talents, then he would not have achieved today's situation.

"In the past, those people would go to Beijing to catch the exam, and for us, it was also a process of rushing for the exam, but the exam questions were replaced by tens of millions of people in the north, and the examiners were replaced by ethereal people's hearts...... Ning Chu's rise comes from the hearts of the people, and he must not fall on this place! ”

Ning Yu's face was a little dull, and he said in a low voice: "The new dynasty and the new policy, the cabinet should make every effort to popularize the new policy and the land and acre system, and any resistance encountered in the middle must be overcome....... The Praetorian Division is in Liaodong, and the First Division will temporarily serve as the garrison of the capital, but anyone who cooperates can speak. ”

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate should also pay attention to the victory, many people will have arrogance in their hearts, at this time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate must not be easily tolerated, once appeased, a big mistake will be made! At that time, it will affect my Ning Chu's image and prestige in the hearts of the people! ”

After Ning Yu's murderous words came out, everyone's faces changed a little, and all the arrogance in their hearts seemed to have been poured with a whole basin of cold water, and they also sobered up at the moment.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be shocked, Ning Yu stopped and took a sip of water, he was about to continue to communicate with Cui Wancai about the food problem, but he heard a voice from outside the hall, but it was urgent information from the direction of Liaodong, and he needed to report to the Black Emperor.

After the guard took the secret information and handed it to Ning Yu to see, he attracted Ning Yu's attention, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face.

"Hongli has ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and the era name is Qianlong...... The thief of the Qing court is not dead, and it will be passed to the Privy Council quickly! I want to see, kill another Qianlong, and how many more will pop up? ”

.......

Just as the curtain of the battle between the North and the South had just ended, a ship came from the sea in the direction of the Korean Peninsula, with a Korean royal flag hanging on it, and it was under the protection of the naval warships of Ningchu and headed in the direction of the Jingshi.

In the cabin, several old men dressed in Ming official uniforms were sitting opposite each other at this time, and when they spoke, they also spoke extremely pure Chinese, but they were put together with the Korean royal flag hanging on the ship, but it seemed a little nondescript.

"This mission to the Celestial Empire is only for our dynasty to return to the Celestial Empire's vassal system, and for His Majesty the Celestial Empire to understand that our Korea has always sought to resist the control of the Qing Tartars, which is the key. It's a pity that the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, and they are still arguing about whether to use the name of the Qing court, which is really stupid. ”

The old man who spoke was Kim Shijun, the confidant of Kim Yijing, the Korean Chengzhi, and the powerful minister who was in the heat today, and several other old men opposite him were also envoys of this mission.

Another person called Liu Zhengyeol, and he also loudly agreed: "Since the battle of Bingzi, the whole of Korea has always been thinking about the past, such as today's expulsion of the Tartars, North Korea should return to the Heavenly Empire, how can it continue to do things?" ”

A hint of approval appeared on everyone's faces, and they began to discuss it, but the look of one person in the corner was a little worried, and he did not agree at the first time.

Since the end of the Battle of Bali Bridge, the aftermath has gradually stirred up North Korea, and it has also brought a question to North Korea, that is, should it immediately make a stand and change the era name?

On the surface, this seems to be a small matter, but in today's North Korea, it has become a great event, and it is even related to the life and death of North Korea.

"Park Yoon-hee, what do you think?" Kim Se-jun turned sideways and looked at the man with a smile.

The old man named Park Yunxi sighed and said in a low voice: "The matter decided by the leaders and the lords of the council, the lower officials naturally don't dare to talk much, but there are always some worries in their hearts, although the Qing Tartars were expelled from the customs by the Celestial Empire, but they still have tens of thousands of soldiers, if it is the North Korean trade reform regulations, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come!" ”

Kim Se-jun had a sneer on his face, and there was something unkind in his eyes when he looked at Park Yunxi, "Lord Park is inevitably too cautious, if you don't express your submission to the Celestial Empire at this time, how can you go to His Majesty the Celestial Empire in the future to tell His Majesty the Celestial Empire about North Korea's forbearance and humiliation?" ”

When others heard what the two said, they also reprimanded Park Yun-hee one after another, and some even shouted: "If North Korea continues to be subservient to the Qing Dynasty for one day, North Korea's shame will be one more day!" ”

Jin Shijun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Right now, the king is looking forward to Gyeongbokgung Palace, hoping to get good news from his ministers, so we also need to arrive in Jingshi as soon as possible to meet His Majesty the Celestial Empire!" ”

Park Yunxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, of course he knew the thoughts of the North Korean monarchs and ministers, but they didn't want to think about it, although the Qing court was beaten to pieces in front of the Fu Han army, but for North Korea, it was still a behemoth, if the Qing court led the army to attack North Korea, could North Korea really be able to resist it?
