When fishermen catch sardines at sea, they often stock some carnivorous fish in them in order to keep the sardines alive.

Because sardines only stay active in a crisis and will not have problems in an overly warm environment.

At this time, although the matter of King Fu has never been put on the surface, both Queen Zhou and Zhu Cihong know it.

Especially Zhu Cihong, who is almost like a hedgehog with a fried hair, the whole person is already nervous.

Just like Emperor Jingtai back then.

Daming is not without precedent in this regard, and there is far more than one!

King Fu's bloodline, both theoretically and practically, is not inferior to their brothers.

Even, if it weren't for the blessing of many old ministers back then, the throne of the Son of Heaven would not have been their turn at all.

When Emperor Wanli was canonized as King Fu, what reward did he give?

Forty thousand poured fertile land!

Even King Fu himself felt embarrassed and begged for halving.

But Rao is like this, there is not enough land in the Central Plains, so he still finds it from Shandong, Qinchuan and other places to make up for him.

"Haichenghou, that, what do you mean......"

Whether Queen Zhou is a woman is a woman, she completely lost her backbone for a while, and looked at Xu Changqing with a blank eye.

Zhu Cihong was even more nervous, cold sweat kept churning out, and he was extremely looking forward to Xu Changqing being able to clear this trouble for him.

"The queen mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no good way for the minister to do this. After thinking about it, for the sake of today's plan, we can only make raw rice into mature rice as soon as possible. It would be good to wait until the situation is stabilized and then find a solution......"

Empress Zhou and Zhu Cihong glanced at each other and nodded.

After all, King Fu is the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, and it is too unrealistic to expect Xu Changqing to do anything to King Fu?

Even if Xu Changqing is willing to do it, it will be difficult for them to bear the price of that kind of public opinion, and what Xu Changqing said at this time is undoubtedly the most practical.

Queen Zhou hurriedly said: "Then, tomorrow the prince will ascend the throne first, and as for the canonization of the queen and other affairs, put them in the back first?" ”

Xu Changqing pretended to be thoughtful, and said for a moment: "The queen's method is not bad. After all, only when the foundation is firmly laid first, can there be more leeway to do things later. What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think? ”

Zhu Cihong has indeed matured a lot, but how can he have any opinions at this time? Busy said: "This palace thinks it's okay to ......"

……

Leaving Wuying Palace, Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?

We must deal with the affairs of the palace as soon as possible!

Especially after I left Nanjing, many things are beyond my reach.

……

Early in the morning of September 21, the enthronement ceremony was officially held.

The white jade square outside the noon gate was already lined with flags, crowded with tens of thousands of people.

The whole process is actually similar to the previous sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors, just like the eight golden words on the jade seal of the country: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!" ”

Zhu Cihong rode on the bright yellow dragon and let the officials of the various ministries take turns to recite prayer documents, and sacrificed everything that could be sacrificed, proving to the sky the legitimacy of his position as the Son of Heaven.

And then there's the process.

Xu Changqing was not in the crowd at this time, but not far from the dragon, dressed in shiny armor, guarding Zhu Cihong like a god.

At this height, for a while, Xu Changqing also felt a little 'dreamlike'.

It's no wonder that throughout the ages, countless people have wanted to 'test the law', and this feeling is really strange......

Finally!

By noon, Xu Changqing's physical strength was a little stiff, and Qian Qianyi, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, finally finished reading out the last document, and was busy kneeling on the ground, shouting 'Long live!' ’

"Boom la la ......"

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the square fell to their knees, and the mountain shouted 'Long live'.

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

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

The majestic sound made Xu Changqing, who already had some chests against his back, a little stiff, and he felt dizzy.

couldn't help but look at Zhu Cihong and Queen Zhou with their spare eyes.

I can't live anymore, what are they doing now?

Really.

Zhu Cihong is about to wilt, and she is weak, although Queen Zhou is still holding on, she is also tired.

Xu Changqing suddenly couldn't help laughing.

That is, it is far away at this time, and everyone can't see it, otherwise, it will really make a joke.

But the eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother, and the people below were even more miserable, like frosted eggplants that had long been tired.

Finally, the ceremony finally ended.

Those who were not of enough grade and the 'extras' retreated one after another, and Xu Changqing, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and other bigwigs also came to the side hall proudly, and hurried to eat, and then there was a big reward.

At this time, Xu Changqing's reward had been determined, just as Xu Changqing himself requested, he only wanted the defense of Shandong, and did not covet other places.

It's not that Xu Changqing doesn't want more rights, it's really intentional and powerless, it's a prudent decision made after careful weighing!

After all, the defense of Shandong's front line is long enough, and if it is also the Central Plains, it is really a defense line of thousands of miles.

In fact, Queen Zhou's original intention was to let Xu Changqing take charge of the defense of Shaanxi, Shanxi, including Ningxia, Nanzhili, Liaodi and other places, but Xu Changqing didn't seem to accept it.

It's all in vain.

It can no longer even be described as 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it', but a proper 'lightning rod'.

These areas are not only not under the control of Daming at this time, but they are all withered, to put it vulgarly, dog urine is not sassy, it is completely cumbersome, it is a pure 'pot', how can Xu Changqing take this kind of plate?

With the current situation, as long as Xu Changqing can manage Shandong well and rely on the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, he will already have enough capital to compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Stay from the beginning and clean up the old rivers and mountains.

Stand after breaking, don't break and don't stand!

It has reached this situation, there is some pain, and I have to bear it, if the greed is insufficient, it can only lead to the lack of people's hearts and swallow the elephant, and there will be greater variables.

After thinking about it, the little eunuch came over respectfully and began to go to the court.

Xu Changqing also followed everyone to the Fengtian Palace, the core and most majestic of the Imperial City of Nanjing.

Fengtian Hall is still worse than the Imperial Palace of the Jingshi, lacking the kind of domineering spirit, but it is also extremely strong, and it is full of historical heritage.

Back then, it was here that Zhu Yuanzhang, the great grandfather, ran Hu Weiyong, ran Lanyu, divided the world, and established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

When he arrived at the Fengtian Temple and finished the salute, Xu Changqing suddenly found that there was a person who was more tired than everyone else today.

That's right.

It is the new celebrant who writes Zheng Gonggong.

At this time, it was he who read the reward.

Xu Changqing suddenly felt a little funny, this is really 'if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight'.

After the process is finished, the music stops, and if nothing else, it is Xu Changqing who is the first to be rewarded!

After all, at this time, even Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying couldn't be compared with Xu Changqing at all!

It is no exaggeration to say that without Xu Changqing, there would be no Zhu Cihong's 'Hongguang' at this time.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"

With a long reading like a song, after a while, it came to the point, and Xu Changqing also pricked up his ears.

“…… Haicheng Hou Xu Changqing, the merit is greater than the country, it is the pillar of my Ming humerus, giving Haicheng Hou Shandong 10,000 hectares of fertile land, 18,000 households, for my Ming Dynasty, guarding the northern Xinjiang ......"

Even if it was another string of false titles, Xu Changqing didn't hear anything else, only heard a 'prince and master'.

After Gonggong Zheng finished reading out, Xu Changqing was still in a daze, feeling how many official positions there were, and next to him, a little eunuch hurriedly reminded respectfully: "Master Hou, thank you for your ......."

Xu Changqing came back to his senses at this time, and was busy kowtowing respectfully: "Minister Xu Changqing, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live......

When Xu Changqing finished his work, everyone's eyes lit up, and it was finally their turn to share this super dividend.

But Gonggong Zheng was lazy at this time, and directly handed over the responsibility of reading to a young eunuch in his early thirties.

This guy has already started to '6'.

Soon, the young eunuch read it out loud.

From the end of noon, until it was completely dark outside, everyone was already hungry and almost fainted, and finally came to an end.

However!

This is only a small part of it, just Xu Changqing, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, including Qian Qianyi, Hou Xun, these biggest heads, are basically at the level of squire or above, plus various nobles.

For the rest, it will take at least three to five days to complete all the processing.

Like Xu Changqing, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying also obtained a lot of false titles in the future East Palace, clarified their detailed responsibilities, and the dust has settled and the cabinet has been officially formed.

Shi Kefa temporarily suppressed Ma Shiying because of his 'driving skills' and successfully took up the post of first assistant.

In addition, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Wang Tingchen, Liu Zhaoji, and Liu Zeqing were also full of money, and they all won a bunch of rewards.

The royal courtiers, who were not crowned earls, all successfully mixed into the throne of the earl, as well as the shadow of their wives and children.

Including Wang Pu, Li Guozhong, Gao Jie and others, they also had awards.

But if these brothers want to get this reward, the difficulty is not ordinary, at least don't think about it in a short time.

But they are undoubtedly more justifiable.

As for the reward of Xu Changqing's back house, it will not be done until after Xu Changqing and Zhu Yujiao get married, after all, the water is also a bit deep.

Not surprisingly, Gonggong Zheng inevitably had to go to Haicheng in person.

The big framework of the Ming Hongguang Dynasty finally settled completely and began to stabilize.

"Master Hou, congratulations, you are really the Marquis of Wanhu......"

Out of Fengtian Palace, Shi Kefa's mood was also very good, and he quickly stepped forward to greet Xu Changqing.

Ma Shiying seemed to have no intention of losing the battle for the first assistant, and quickly stepped forward to compliment.

Not to mention Qian Qianyi.

Xu Changqing smiled and arched his hand again and again: "Everyone, everyone, rejoice and rejoice!" Now, I'm finally entering a new chapter! ”

A group of people talked and laughed until they left the palace, which was a refreshing farewell.

A little hunger and fatigue, in front of this splendid and luxurious Cotai Boulevard, can it be regarded as a bird's feather?

Providence, perhaps.

Not long after leaving the palace, rain began to fall in the sky again.

Xu Changqing got into the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at the world that would soon be rainy and misty, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "No wonder the ancients said that everyone in the world is a good immortal, only the fame cannot be forgotten." The ancients did not deceive me! ”

But after a while, looking at the hazy world outside the window, Xu Changqing's eyes gradually sharpened: "A new era has finally begun!" ”
