Chapter 026: Auxiliary Government Guogong
The new emperor ascended the throne, changed the dynasty, set the rules, and the righteousness was solidified.
But Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Ciran, after all, was only a three-year-old child, and when he held the first court meeting, he was still embraced by Empress Dowager Zhang to the palace.
The ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China stood in order of four people, headed by the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Duke of Dingguo Zhao Zongwu, the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen, and the Duke of Pingguo Xu Xi, and the number of eunuch officials in the queue was already one-tenth.
Since the last time Zhao Zongwu and Zhang Weixian joined forces and solved Wei Zhongxian, Li Kangfei, Zheng Guifei, and Zhu Youzhen in one fell swoop, the initiative of the Ming Dynasty has gradually fallen into their hands.
And with the improvement of Zhu Ciran, the new emperor ascended the throne in the process, let his followers fill in, and although Zhao Zongwu did not cultivate power, he obtained a huge amount of gold and silver that Wei Zhongxian had converged.
In Zhao Zongwu's heart, instead of pursuing this kind of virtual power excessively, it is better to lay a solid foundation, and the most important point that he Zhao Zongwu can obtain the current status is because he has a place like Liaodong.
If he doesn't have Liaodong to rely on, then he has no way to sit on an equal footing with old countries like Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi.
Therefore, Zhao Zongwu saw this matter very thoroughly.
Since Zhang Weixian and the others want to gain authority, then let's meet their needs for the time being, after all, the matter of fighting for power and profit is still a long-term competition.
In order to ensure the safety and power of the heirs of the Wei family as bait, Zhao Zongwu obtained a large amount of gold and silver wealth from Wei Zhongxian.
Such a fortune alone is enough for Liaodong to accomplish many things, and Liaodong has now clarified the gold standard and implemented the gold and silver coin system, on this basis, how much wealth can Zhao Zongwu obtain for nothing.
In history, it was precisely because Zhu Youzhen obtained Wei Zhongxian's huge wealth that he was able to act so recklessly in the early days of his ascension to the throne, and was fooled by the scheming Wenchen group, so fooled, that way, and finally cool......
After Zhao Zongwu obtained this astronomical amount of gold and silver wealth, he immediately began to transport it to Liaodong, such as calligraphy, painting, porcelain and other precious things, which were handed over to the Penglai Chamber of Commerce nearby, so that they could be sold to the south of the Yangtze River, so as to realize the largest gold and silver.
With the blessing of this gold and silver, Liaodong will complete the second five-year plan of Liaodong that has just been formulated with high standards within two years, so that Liaodong will fully complete the original basic industry.
In this change, the one who got the most benefit was Zhao Zongwu.
Of course, Zhang Weixian and they also gained benefits, after all, they were able to go from the back of the stage to the front of the stage and take charge of the authority of the Ming Dynasty.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: I first ascended to the great treasure, and then ......
The Duke of England, the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Duke of Pingguo are intelligent and wise, and they are specially named the four auxiliary political princes! ”
In front of the Manchu Dynasty, the eunuchs who were close to the Empress Dowager Zhang read out the holy decree, so that the new pattern of the Ming Dynasty was determined, and the era of the four countries was opened, and for a long time in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be ruled by them together.
"My emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
In the face of such a situation, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, under the leadership of the Duke of England, the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Duke of Pingguo, shouted together.
It's just that such a move frightened Zhu Ciran, who was sleeping soundly in the arms of Empress Dowager Zhang, the crying voice was wave after wave.
This also made Empress Dowager Zhang a little flustered, after all, such a sacred place had such an accident.
Seeing this, Zhang Weixian hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty occasionally feels cold, and the dragon body is sick, but he is a Ming Dynasty, but he insists on going to court with illness, which is really a model for my Ming people!"
However, the safety of His Majesty's dragon body is the foundation of the country, for the world, for the Ming Dynasty, I hope that Your Majesty will raise it earlier, and after Chen and others have sorted out the government affairs, they will enter the Qianqing Palace to meet and report......"
If you don't talk about old fritters, then they really deserve to be old fritters!
In just a few crosses, the emergency crisis that appeared this time was successfully resolved, and at the same time, it also laid the groundwork for the subsequent sealing of Empress Dowager Zhang's interference.
Since there are already four people in power, they definitely don't want a fifth person to be involved, and the name is much bigger than them.
Which one of the Manchu civil and military forces is not a monkey spirit?
After listening to Zhang Weixian's words, he didn't need to taste it at all, he already understood what it meant, and many officials who wanted to continue their political careers, and then Zhang Weixian's words, stood up and spoke.
In the face of the enthusiastic exhortation of the ministers, the Empress Dowager Zhang was also young in the end, and she couldn't taste the Tao at all, so she finally took the emperor away, leaving the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to hold a meeting here.
Since it is the first time that the new dynasty has held a court meeting, then there must be a few things that need to be done, Wei Zhongxian has already taken the eunuch of the inner court and left, and went to the mausoleum of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to guard the mausoleum.
But after all, it was a secret going, but now that the name of the public auxiliary government of the four countries has been decided, they must need to finalize the fundamentals.
Glancing at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhao Zongwu said indifferently: "This eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, resigned from the emperor because he thought of the first emperor, and said that he would guard the tomb of the first emperor for life.
For the sake of Wei Zhongxian and Zhongjun, this public thought that he would bring the twelve eunuchs of the inner court and the attached eunuchs to go to the mausoleum of the first emperor and guard the tomb for the first emperor! ”
Since he took other people's money, then Zhao Zongwu must make a promise.
In order to prevent the British from using Wei Zhongxian to establish their authority, Zhao Zongwu decided to finalize the foundation first.
After all, now is the honeymoon period of the four countries' public auxiliary government, and they will definitely not slap each other's faces for such a thing, especially in this special period, since Zhao Zongwu has already said such a thing, and besides, in front of so many people, the British public is actually not easy to say.
So this matter was agreed in this way, which also gave many ministers a wrong message, making them think in their hearts that the prince of the four countries would not talk about them, but this happy mood obviously came early.
Since Wei Zhongxian can't be used to establish authority, then it is necessary to use eunuch officials to establish authority, especially at the beginning of the new dynasty and the beginning of the four countries' public auxiliary government, it is absolutely unrealistic to establish their authority at this time.
Therefore, the first to bear the brunt of the bad luck are those who have surrendered to Wei Zhongxian's name, the five tigers, five biao, ten dogs, ten children, forty grandsons and other party forces.
Because of their existence, the Ming Dynasty has become panicked, this greedy wealth is innumerable, and they occupy the most important positions, if they are not taken down, how can the Four Kingdoms arrange their henchmen to come in?
Once a son of heaven and a courtier!
