Regarding Zhu Cihong's matter, Liu Ximing has also thought about it for a long time, so in the face of this dilemma at this time, what he said also made Huang Zonghui and others feel at ease.

"The first emperor treated me well, and the prince was rescued by me from the Jingshi, if I wanted their lives, I would have asked Jiang Deshen to stop at that time, and now that I have saved it, then I will not do anything for this matter again."

Du Liangji, Lei Hong and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Liu Ximing smiled again: "You still have some heads that can't turn around, and the ancient struggle for the throne is nothing more than for the right of one family and one surname, so this matter is naturally your life and death." ”

"But now that I'm all in agreement, fighting for the position of the world is for the people of the world, and at the same time to expand the living space for me in China, I won't give up such a big thing."

"As for the crown prince and others, as I said before, the world is so big, when we wait for the things to be completed, then we can find a place to settle them, so that we can protect the blood heirs of the first emperor and appease the people, isn't it beautiful."

Du Liangji was a little nervous and said, "I don't know where Brother Wujiang is considering?" ”

Everyone was a little worried, this was to throw Zhu Cihong and others to a bitter cold place to be distributed.

Liu Ximing smiled, "From China to the east, there is an island south of North Korea called Jeju Island, which was called Tamna in ancient times, and its land is not big or small, which is suitable for resettlement. ”

Du Liangji, Lei Hong and others all laughed suddenly, so that this method can be accepted by everyone.

At that moment, Lei Hong smiled directly: "This method is good, we will not damage our private righteousness, and we will protect the justice of the world, which can be described as the best of both worlds, Brother Wujiang, if you have any arrangements, just say it." ”

Liu Ximing looked around at the earliest Datong members in the house, and saw that there was no doubt in everyone's eyes, so he felt at ease.

"The most critical thing at the moment is naturally the issue of sealing officials after the new monarch succeeds to the throne, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must be in our hands, and there is no need to worry about the army."

Liu Ximing pointed at Dou Yuquan, "Now that you have deep qualifications among the officials, I intend to take you as the governor of Huguang and take charge of Huguang political affairs." As for Zewang, he is still staying in the ministry......"

At present, Zhu Cihong can only rely on Liu Xi's order, and most of the high-ranking officials who escaped from the Chongzhen Dynasty or are abroad are serving in Nanjing, which just gives Liu Ximing the opportunity to arrange.

It's just that Liu Ximing's subordinates are indeed a little too shallow in terms of qualifications, and it is impossible to compete for high positions with Sun Chuanting, Yang Yipeng and others.

After a total of one pass, Liu Ximing planned to appoint Huang Zonghui as the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, Du Liangji as the left waiter of the Ministry of Households, Lei Hong as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and so on.

As for Sun Chuanting and others, Liu Ximing intends to continue to appoint Sun Chuanting as the secretary of the military department, Yang Yipeng as the secretary of the ministry, and Yuan Jixian, He Tengjiao and others also have their own appointments.

But don't look at the bosses of these departments are Sun Chuanting and others, if you really want to do something, Dou Yuquan and others with Liu Ximing's support are undoubtedly in power.

As soon as this list was discussed, Liu Ximing immediately entered the palace to report to Zhu Cihong, and as expected, in the face of this list that he was not familiar with, Zhu Cihong could only accept it all.

Three days later, on the fourth day of the seventh month.

Zhu Cihong, dressed in a black and red crown dress, ascended to the altar of the Chu Palace, and worshiped heaven and earth accompanied by Liu Ximing, Sun Chuanting and other civil and military ministers, and officially proclaimed the emperor's throne.

Change the name of the year Zhengxing, set Wuchang as the capital, and the other Chongzhen name is "Zhenzong".

After Chongzhen's death, Hongguang Dynasty had already given him a nickname, but Zhu Cihong obviously could not recognize Hongguang Dynasty's nickname, so he had to be given a new posthumous name.

In the nickname, the innocent and observant is said to be chaste, and the big worry is said to be chaste, and it is not hidden and unyielding.

Liu Ximing and other ministers were based on Chongzhen's unyielding enemy soldiers, so the above table suggested changing the name to Zhen.

As for the word Zhengxing, the name of the year is specially designed for the small court of Nanjing Hongguang, which means that Zhu Cihong is orthodox in the world. Those who are prosperous are said to have the meaning of reviving the country.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

After the ceremony, Emperor Zhengxing went to the carrier hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and sealed the ministers.

Now there are no eunuchs in Wuchang City, and it is Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding, who announces the decree.

In the carrying hall, Zhu Cijiong's crisp voice continued to sound.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said,......, Yang Yipeng is the secretary of the ministry, and Sun Chuanting is the secretary of the military department......"

"Feng Cao changed Jiao as the Marquis of Wuding, the former military governor's mansion Zuo Du, Shao Rong as the Marquis of Yongding, the rear military governor of the left duke, Zheng Cai as the Marquis of Xing'an, the left military governor's mansion Zuo Dudu, Mu Jingnan as the Marquis of Wuning, the Chinese military governor of the left capital ......"

Zhu Cihong's edict about the rewards of the officials was all in accordance with the articles submitted by Liu Ximing, and the civil officials could say that as for the military attachés, they had to be added to the rank at the same time.

Therefore, Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and others all won the position of marquis and earl, not to mention the official position all the way to the top, Mu Jingnan and others of the Liu family also took this opportunity to completely whitewash, and even Li Biao and others got knighthoods and official positions, and they were really rewarded by everyone.

The most outrageous of this is Jiang Deshen, because of his meritorious escort, he was directly named the Marquis of Wuxiang, the Governor of the Right Army, the Left Governor, and the Admiral Forbidden Army.

Of course, with the addition of the officials of Yuanhu Guangyou, there are only about 400 officials in the transportation hall, and there are still many vacancies in the official positions of the Zhengxing Dynasty, but they are not as talented as the Nanjing Imperial Court.

Liu Ximing knows that as long as the news of Zhu Cihong's succession comes out, there will be countless officials who want to come to the world to defect, and the official position will naturally be enriched, which is exactly what he needs to guard against the most.

It's just that when the holy decree was recited, all the civil and military forces in the carrying hall suddenly found that Liu Ximing was the only one missing from the list, what was going on?

Whispers suddenly erupted in the hall.

Liu Ximing stood in the front row in a python suit, coughed lightly when he saw this, and all the halls were silent at once.

Zhu Cihong looked at Liu Ximing's might with envy, and then smiled:

"When I first ascended to the throne, the government relied on the assistance of the ministers, and the most meritorious person was the Taishi, who was young and knowledgeable, and always felt that the previous position could not be compared with the great merit of the Taishi, so I put this matter on hold, and now the ministers are in place, just ask you to discuss it."

I see!

The uninformed ministers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, everyone knows what the situation in Wuchang is now, if the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will take Liu Xi's life, not to mention chilling people's hearts, the key is to cause a big disaster.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Chuanting immediately stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, since becoming an ancestor, there has been no chief assistant in the cabinet of the most important person in the world, and the minister thinks that appointing the Taishi as the first assistant should be able to show merit."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Yang Yipeng, Yuan Jixian and others did not hesitate to stand out of the ranks.

At present, the position of the first assistant, if Liu Xi's life is not allowed to come, who can still do it.

However, when the voice of the seconding in the hall slowed down a little, Huang Zongxi, who had just been appointed as the political envoy of Huguangbu and the political envoy of Zuobu, immediately surrendered his hand.

Huang Zongxi was quite excited at this time, not because of the promotion, but because he remembered what Dou Yuquan said when he visited last night.

"Fang is in chaos today, if you want to decide a big event, there must be a capable minister, the dynasty to the cabinet system of ministers, but the position of the cabinet minister is only five grades, the taste is reversed and even Si, if you want to overcome the chaos and rebuild, you have to reset the position of prime minister."

God is pitiful, Huang Zongxi has long felt that this cabinet position is very unreasonable after serving as an official for so many years, and now even Dou Yuquan thinks so, and he is even more sure in his heart.

At this moment, Huang Zongxi directly bowed his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the princesses, the lower officials think that only the first assistant of the cabinet is not enough to show the merits of the Taishi, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to set up the post of prime minister again, so that the Taishi can lead the hundred officials, and then restore the world." ”

"Wow"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Sun Chuanting and other officials outside Liu Ximing's system all looked at Liu Ximing and wanted to find out what he really thought.

Who knew that Liu Ximing looked like he was looking at his nose and nose, and the old god was there, as if it was none of his business.

Sun Chuanting, Yuan Jixian and others subconsciously wanted to oppose it.

is different from Dou Yuquan and others, they want to assist Zhu Cihong wholeheartedly, if there is a prime minister, what if the monarch's power falls.

However, before a few of them could come out and speak, Dou Yuquan immediately stepped forward with a group of ministers.

"The minister thinks that Huang Taichong's words are reasonable, Your Majesty is using things today, and he needs to be able to support the ministers, when the Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty was the White Emperor Tuogu, if it weren't for Zhuge Kongming's respect for the prime minister, it is not known how long Shu Han can be Dingding."

"In today's world, the chaos is more erosive than the Three Kingdoms, there is the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty in the east, there are thieves in the north, and Zhang Xianzhong in the west.

……

After Dou Yuquan finished speaking, Huang Zonghui and others stepped forward one after another to bitterly report the story of the cabinet's superficiality, and even attacked many old things such as those nodding pavilion elders.

For a while, even Sun Chuanting and others were not easy to argue.

As for Zhu Cihong on the throne, he was even dizzy by the ministers who quoted scriptures, and after a while, even he felt justified.
