Volume 8 Chapter 221 The New Emperor Succeeds to the Throne
In the sound of firecrackers, the year old is removed, and the laughter and laughter are gathered together.
Chongzhen's sixteenth year's festival can be said to be the happiest festival for the common people since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, because Zhang Bin, the first assistant of the cabinet, personally led the army to wipe out all the thieves who had ravaged the Ming Dynasty for nearly 20 years.
The world is peaceful, it is the harbinger of the prosperous era, the people of the Ming Dynasty have hope, can you not be happy in your heart, if you want to say the happiest, it is the people of the capital, because the prince's wedding suddenly poured into the capital of countless wealthy upstarts, that guy, simply let the capital enter the prosperous age.
These wealthy upstarts are incredible, all of them are scary, and they are quite generous, not to mention how hot the business of the restaurant and tea shop is, even the dough pinching people who blow candy on the street have made a fortune, because as soon as the children raise their hands, they are buying, buying, buying, as long as you can make it, there is nothing that cannot be sold.
It was the day of the Chinese New Year, Jin Yiwei also posted the most absurd, weird, or festive notice in history all over the capital: the prince's wedding, the whole world celebrates, on the first day of the first month, all the shops in the capital that are open, reward a red envelope, ten taels of silver, and all the stalls on the street, whether you sell things or show art, reward a red envelope, and five taels of silver.
Is this a joke, if it is really such a reward, it is estimated that it will be at least a million taels of silver!
Of course, this is not a joke, because the notice has the big seals of the cabinet, the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the red seals are almost full of notices, and these yamen, no matter which one of them, will joke with everyone!
This time, there is a strange scene in the capital on the first day of the first lunar month, as soon as the day dawns, the streets that should be deserted are full of stalls, as long as the people of the capital are free and lack of money, almost all run to the street to set up stalls, it doesn't matter if there is nothing to sell, you can sell art.
There are no peasant households in this capital, except for the rich gentry and rich people, they are basically artisan households, military households, music households, merchants and other low-level people, merchants are doing business needless to say, Lehu is also playing, playing and singing omnipotently, military households are dancing knives and guns and boxing, which is also considered to be a showmanship, and the artisan households are even more absolute, they simply put their work on the street to do, which can be regarded as a show of skills.
The imperial court is more absolute, the hour is full, the Jinyi guards and thousands of households in the capital will pour out a festive team, lion dance, dragon dance, gongs and drums, lively and extraordinary, the most important thing, these teams have a flatbed car that pulls silver, the red cloth wrapped in the silver pile of the old high, all the way from the street, see the stall on the hair, see the open shop to send, there is no ambiguity at all!
This guy, Zhang Bin is not crazy, this thing must have been made up by him, why did he do such a "wonderful" act?
Of course he is not crazy, the reason why he did this is to build momentum, to build momentum for Zhu Cihong's succession to the throne, and secondly, to form an atmosphere, imperceptibly, so that Daming can form a business atmosphere.
Needless to say, such a strange move, unprecedented, will not only cause a sensation in the capital, but also spread widely throughout the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince or the future Emperor His Majesty, good people, it is really good for the people, and they got married and took out millions of taels to celebrate with the people of the capital, if such a prince succeeds to the throne, everyone is more hopeful.
As for this business atmosphere, of course, it is not a day or two can be formed, but this stall is indeed the best way to create a business atmosphere, in his previous life he heard a rumor, the first step for a certain stick country to enter the society is to set up a stall, no matter what identity, the result of a certain stick country has a magical rise!
In the next half a month, Zhang Bin secretly encouraged his relatives and friends to play on the street, to stimulate the people with consumption, so that they can make profits, this time the capital stalls really formed a kind of normality, not only the first day of the first month to the fifteenth, after the fifteenth, the capital stalls are still as many as cattle, the reason is very simple, because you can make money, half a month can earn money that you can't earn in the previous half a year or even a year, who doesn't put it, that's a fool!
There is even a trend behind the stalls in the first month of the first month of the capital, as soon as it comes to the New Year, there are many traders near the capital, and even in the Ming Dynasty, many rich people are desperately squeezing into the capital, selling things, buying more and more things, and there are more and more workshops of all kinds near the capital, and the whole Shuntianfu is prosperous, and the degree of wealth even exceeds that of Jiangnan and Fuguang.
Of course, these are all later words, the year is over, and then the crown prince ascends the throne, however, the enthronement hall and the wedding ceremony are much more cumbersome, and the people who come to celebrate have to rush over, which is more troublesome than the wedding ceremony, because Zhang Bin invited envoys from various countries, whether it is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty or not, as long as he knows, he has been invited!
It wasn't a matter of a few days for these people to rush over, so Zhang Bin set the enthronement hall on March 19, the 17th year of Chongzhen, as for why, except for Zhang Bin, no one understood.
Because, in history, on March 19 of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured the capital, Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty perished!
On this special day, the crown prince Zhu Cihong succeeded to the throne, indicating that history has been completely rewritten, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous forever.
For this reason, Zhang Bin tried his best to disagree with the public and set the name of the new emperor as Yongxing, and he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would always prosper!
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty will bid farewell to all suffering, and in the first year of Yongxing, the Ming Dynasty will open a new prosperous era.
Of course, this prosperous world is not that you say that it will be opened, nor that you can open it if you want to, there are many people who do not want the Ming Dynasty to prosper, and there are even many people who want to kill the Ming Dynasty, so Zhang Bin sent invitations to all the countries he could notify, so that they could come and see the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
On March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, at the beginning, Zhang Bin according to the normal process, the civil and military officials and envoys from various countries were summoned to the front of the imperial palace, personally read out Chongzhen's edict, and then took the lead in shouting: "Please the new emperor to succeed to the throne, please the new emperor to succeed to the throne, please the new emperor to succeed to the throne!" ”
In the huge mountain cry, Zhu Cihong was dressed in a dragon robe, walked out of the Zhonghe Hall slowly, walked to the front of the Huangji Palace, climbed the high platform that had already been built, and took out the edict of succession is a meal. ”
The officials below immediately shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Calling nine times in a row, the sound is getting louder and louder, and finally almost all of them are roaring, the ground of the roar shakes the mountains, the roar of the wind and clouds changes color, and the roar is so loud that almost the entire capital of the people have heard it, as if announcing to the world that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has succeeded to the throne!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Cihong led the ministers to sacrifice to the emperors of the past dynasties, sacrificed to heaven and earth, told the ancestors and ancestors, and told the heavens that he Zhu Cihong succeeded to the throne!
According to the normal process, the enthronement ceremony ended here, but Zhang Bin added an item, he asked Zhu Cihong to lead the civil and military ministers, and led the envoys of various countries to the southern city wall of the imperial city, and then, 10,000 Jinyi guards, 20,000 elite Beijing battalions, 30,000 Sichuan troops, 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry, and 80,000 Fuguang troops lined up in a neat array, pulling all kinds of chariots and artillery carriages, and walked through West Chang'an Avenue and East Chang'an Avenue in turn, shouting in unison: "The new emperor succeeds to the throne, and the Ming Dynasty is Yongxing." The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the Ming Dynasty was Yongxing. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the Ming Dynasty was Yongxing. ”
The roar was earth-shattering!
The roar went up to the sky!
Seeing such a spectacular scene, seeing such a powerful army, the envoys of various countries on the city wall changed color in unison, the Ming Empire is too powerful, don't dare to provoke!
