The Ming Dynasty experienced the catastrophe of Li Zicheng, and the whole world was panicked, so although the enthronement ceremony was prepared in a hurry, it was also necessary to rush the ducks to the shelves.

On the first day of the fifth month of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the enthronement ceremony was officially opened.

Ten-year-old Zhu Cihong, with the support of Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zheng, ascended the throne and became the emperor in the Jinluan Palace.

It was decided to change the yuan next year, and the era name is: Anhe.

And the temple number given to Chongzhen is Sizong, and the nickname: Shaotian Interpretation Dao Gangming Ke Ming Ke Jian Wen Fen Wu Dun Ren Mao Xiaolie Emperor.

Zhu Cihong didn't know enough about these, and Zhou Yanru did it all by himself.

In this enthronement ceremony, Zhou Yanru's status was infinitely elevated, and he was like a minister who controlled all the government affairs.

Zhou Zheng and his people were extremely marginalized, and in the huge enthronement ceremony, Zhou Yanru's people were all at the front, and the comings and goings were also arranged by Zhou Yanru.

Zhu Cihong is a puppet, and Zhou Zhengze is more like an outsider.

It wasn't until most of the enthronement ceremony passed that everyone had a chance to breathe, and Zhou Zheng's people gathered together and were indignant.

Ma Shiying said angrily: "My lord, Yuanfu is too much, this is not covered up at all!" ”

Zhang Heyi sneered and said, "This is worse than the eunuch party, the eunuch party at least takes care of some face!" ”

Kou Huaiyi glanced at everyone and said in a low voice: "I heard that if you want to overturn the case for the eunuch party before, there will be Yuanfu. ”

Everyone changed color when they heard this, and they thought of Ruan Dacheng.

This person is a eunuch, could it be that Zhou Yanru saved him with another purpose?

Zhou Fang, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, was also qualified to participate in the ceremony, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhengyun, you can't go on like this." ”

If this continues, they will really be marginalized, and if it is better, they will be driven out of the capital, and if it is not good, they will be imprisoned!

Zhou Zheng hugged Ban Wat, took a long time, and said with a smile: "Yuanfu is so capable, how can you not let him do more." Now that the country is broken, there are so many major events in the national economy and people's livelihood, which are inseparable from Yuanfu, if there is anything, let's go to the Qianqing Palace later. ”

After the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor will also meet with important officials, Zhou Zheng and others, all of whom will go.

Everyone listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and suddenly showed a knowing smile.

At this time, Yao Tongshun came in from the outside, saw that they were all his own people, and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "My lord, the money and food have arrived, but it is only 100,000." ”

This is the 500,000 yuan that Zhou Yanru promised to Zhou Zheng, but the ten-day deadline has passed, but only 100,000 yuan has arrived.

Zhou Zheng looked at the others and said, "There is an excuse." ”

A group of people nodded suddenly, and their smiles became deeper and deeper.

After waiting for a while, the enthronement ceremony continued, and a series of rituals followed, and everyone followed, worshipping, singing peace, listening to various wills, and praying.

In the end, it was to canonize a hundred officials to show the grace of the new emperor.

Zhou Yanru, the former chief assistant of the former dynasty with high hard work, was added to the crown prince and prince, and became the minister of Gu Ming, the first assistant of the cabinet, the general view of the government and politics, and various other shadows, with countless rewards and glory.

Zhou Zheng, the great hero who recovered the capital and saved the Daming Society, added the crown prince and the prince, the scholar of the Jianji Palace, and the military department, the prime minister to suppress bandits, and there were few others.

The rest of the cabinet ministers are temporarily vacant, Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Rixuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Li Hengbing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Juesi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Li Banghua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Shi Shiying......

The subsequent officials at all levels, such as the squire and the nine temples, were all appointed, and only a small number of vacancies were found, and there were really no people who were temporarily vacant.

Ruan Dacheng actually got the left waiter of the Ministry of Works.

Hundreds of people raised their hands and bowed in the Jinluan Palace, congratulating the new emperor and receiving thanks.

Zhou Yanru stood in front of Zhou Zheng, closest to Zhu Cihong. His old face was flushed, his eyes were clear, the corners of his mouth trembled with excitement, and his whole body trembled.

Zhu Cihong was very small, sitting on a chair, looking at the ministers a little numbly, and looking at Li Zhong beside him whatever he said below.

Li Zhong would bow down and whisper a few words to him.

Li Zhong is a person who has seen Chongzhen ascend the throne, so he is naturally familiar with it.

It was a long time before this hurried enthronement ceremony was over, and a large group of people turned to the Qianqing Palace, ready to routinely contact the new emperor.

Zhu Cihong sat on the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace, because he was small and the table was blocked, he looked a little nondescript, maybe he was too tired for a day, his expression was a little stiff and tired.

Zhou Yanru was sixty or seventy years old, but he was not tired at all, he still raised his hand with a red face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony has been completed." Next, it is to mourn the first emperor and enter the mausoleum. ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he had some expressions, nodded lightly, and said in a sad voice: "Hmm." ”

Zhou Yanru then said: "Your Majesty, the world is shaking, all because of the incompetence of the ministers in various places, the ministers have discussed with your colleagues to promote the governors, governors, and officials of the three divisions of the provinces, rectify the rule of officials, and revitalize my prestige!" ”

Zhang Sizhi, the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." Your Majesty, the rebellion in the northwest is due to the collapse of the law of etiquette, and the minister asks His Majesty to issue an order to return to the ceremony and restrain the world. ”

Li Rixuan, the secretary of the ministry, followed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the rebellion in the northwest and the corruption of political affairs in various places are all due to people. ”

Li Juesi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, followed and responded loudly, claiming that many matters of the Ministry of Industry were corrupt and asked for strict investigation.

Even if Zhu Cihong is ignorant of many things, he still understands these things, after all, Chongzhen taught him a lot of words and deeds, and he listened to it and said seriously: "What Zhongqing said is reasonable." ”

Zhou Zheng stood beside Zhou Yanru, holding Ban Wat, and never said a word.

Zhou Yanru made it clear that he wanted to take this opportunity to further expand his power, and with his superiority in numbers, coupled with the fact that he kept saying that it was a righteous and awe-inspiring national matter, it was really difficult to refute.

Li Zhong looked at his nose and nose and heart, learned from Wang Chengen, and did not say much in political affairs.

Zhou Yanru and others said more than a dozen in one breath, all of which were innovative suggestions of the new dynasty, collectively known as the 'Eighteen Shu'.

Zhu Cihong was very happy to hear it, and he didn't notice the problem, and between his words, he also meant to entrust government affairs to Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru's old face was flushed, and he couldn't help himself with excitement, so he knelt on the ground and cried: "The old minister has been entrusted by the emperor, and he is extremely ashamed......"

Accentuated by the atmosphere, many people are showing their relatives and are deeply grateful.

Zhu Cihong hurriedly asked Li Zhong to help him up, and the two monarchs and ministers comforted each other for a while.

It seems that at the end, Zhu Cihong looked at Zhou Zheng and wiped his tears and said, "Zheng Xibo, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty." Taiyuan reported that Lu Xiangsheng had conquered Taiyuan and was currently working hard to recover the entire territory of Shanxi, with a large army, ready to enter Shaanxi at any time and fight with the thieves. ”

Zhu Cihong was overjoyed when he heard this, couldn't help but stand up, stretched out his head and said, "When will the thieves be eliminated?" ”

Before Zhou Zheng could speak, Zhang Heyi stepped out of the ranks, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there will be 500,000 money and grain before, but today it is only 100,000, and the minister is worried about the morale of the front, so he has not told Lu Xiangsheng, and the minister asks His Majesty to order the household department to allocate all the money as scheduled." ”

Zhu Cihong was most worried about the thief coming again, and when he heard this, his eyes immediately turned to Zhou Yanru.
