The first empress of the Ming Dynasty was born......

When Zhu Dadian's words fell, in a boiling cheer, Her Majesty the Empress also hurriedly walked into the Great Hall of the Four People with an angry face, it was obvious that she had received the news of Duke Chu's self-murder, and was ready to administer justice to her man with thunderous anger.

However, Yang Qing had already woken up at this time.

It's just that the blood on his body and the blood on his godsister's body look very dazzling.

The princess raised her eyebrows......

"Knock on Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, the representatives of the military and the people and the four peoples, including Zhu Dadian and others, all bowed to the empress, and the empress, who was still on the verge of anger, was stunned for a moment and quickly sobered up. She glanced at Yang Qing, who was also about to bow down, and the latter nodded slightly at her, and the expression on her face immediately changed to grace and nobility......

Well, it's all acting.

"Everyone, please get up, how dare Kunxing be such a big gift!"

She said.

As she spoke, she reached out to pick up an old man who was bowing at the front.

The latter trembled with excitement.

"Your Majesty, Brother Ling has been deposed by the Four People's Assembly for treason, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, the children of the first emperor are the only two eldest princesses in the southern capital, and Your Majesty is the eldest sister, then the throne belongs to Your Majesty. The Four People's Congress has voted to pass, the people of the Ming Dynasty are willing to succeed to the throne by the princess, when the invasion of this Jiannu is imminent, Qin and Gui are the two feudal lords, the people only Your Majesty is Lai, I hope that Your Majesty will focus on the society and immediately ascend the throne to determine the world! ”

Wang Fuzhi said.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne immediately!"

The representatives of the four peoples shouted in unison.

"The Empress ascends the throne!"

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

……

The soldiers and civilians who knelt around shouted one after another.

Princess Kunxing looked around, and soon her gaze fell on her brother's face.

The latter was also looking at her.

"It is the resolution of the Four People's Congress, Kun Xing does not dare to resign, the people do not take Kun Xing women, trust the country, Kun Xing is afraid to accept it, but Kun Xing also has a matter to ask for, although the brother is guilty of treason, everything is to blame, but after all, it is Kun Xing's brother, Kun Xing wants to pardon all brothers and sisters!"

She said slowly.

"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's right!"

Zhu Dadian said.

"This is the people's judgment, how dare Kun Xing interfere with his personal feelings, so the people who want to invite him!"

Princess Kunxing said.

"Do you think it's okay?"

Wang Fuzhi turned around and asked the representatives behind him.

Of course, the latter will not object, and it is the same for the princess to directly pardon, it is customary for her to ascend the throne and amnesty the world, anyway, Zhu Cihong has been clearly convicted, and it doesn't matter if she is hanged or not. The most important thing in such a trial is a conviction, it does not matter whether he is put to death or not, the law has already sentenced him to death, and the principle that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people has been de facto established. Even if the empress pardons, it can't change the fact that he is guilty of treason, and the amnesty does not mean that he is rehabilitated, even if he is released, he will have to wear the hat of treason for the rest of his life.

That's all that matters.

In this way, less than an hour after being sentenced to hanging, Zhu Cihong was pardoned again.

But he still had to be exiled.

But this doesn't matter anymore, in short, his era has come to an end, as the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be deposed and sentenced for treason, he will remain in the annals of history forever for future generations to spurn.

In fact, no one cared about him anymore at the scene, people saw the big drama of judging the emperor, the big drama of the Four People's Assembly deposing the emperor, and the big drama of the Four People's Assembly voting to decide who would inherit the throne. Of course, it was a pure surprise to see Chu Guogong wiping his neck, it was a long time since he showed miracles in public, but the play has been performed, who is still interested in caring where the actors go, and they still have the empress's speech drama!

The empress had to say something about her accession to the throne.

The Four People's Assembly elected the Empress, and the Empress also had to give something to the Four People's Assembly, and this kind of courtesy exchange was necessary, and this is how Britain came to the constitutional monarchy in the exchange of courtesies and gifts.

That's why they like to look for kings from foreign countries.

Foreign kings give a lot!

Zhu Cihong and his convicts were quickly taken away, and then the makeshift trial platform was dismantled and restored to its original speaking seat.

Then the Empress took the floor.

The somewhat restrained empress has hurriedly changed into a dragon robe, but because it is not a special occasion such as sacrificing to the sky, there is no need for a crown, and it is also not an expedition nor a leather band, just the most ordinary court clothes. That is, the black yarn wing good crown, plus the four dragon robes, the sun and the moon on both shoulders, but it is not the bright yellow that Yang Qing has always hated, that color looks really ugly. In fact, there is no color restriction for the emperor's court clothes in the Ming Dynasty, and yellow was indeed used at first, but later purple was the highest, but because the color of the Ming Dynasty was still red, red was actually used the most, and other colors could also be used.

But the Empress wore a purple outfit.

After all, it was already red in the eyes of this place, and she wanted to be more special or purple, the purple four dragon robes carried the sun and the moon on both shoulders, and wore a black black gauze winged crown......

It's not gold.

It was worn by a dead man.

The Empress looked around.

The nearest place was the Four People's Deputies, surrounded by two hundred and ninety-nine Deputies, and the vacant seats on the upper floor were all occupied by the people watching the excitement, and the aisles were also crowded with people. On the square outside the Great Hall of the Four Peoples, it can be said that there is a sea of people, and red flags are fluttering in the air......

"The people of the Ming Dynasty!"

She said slowly.

"Zhu's original Huai right cloth, Taizu to alien poison of the Chinese cruelty to the people, so the army to expel the Tartars to restore China, for the people to promote the lord of China, and then the descendants of the descendants gradually forget their roots, so as the lord of the people and self-proclaimed, extended to this day for nearly 300 years. During this period, there was no way to govern, and corruption was rampant, causing the people to starve and cold and even cause chaos in the world, although this was not the responsibility of the Zhu family, the Zhu family could not escape the blame.

The change of the northern capital is also taken by the Zhu family.

Fortunately, thanks to the grace of God Haotian, the first emperor woke up in the midst of danger, avoided the southern capital and made a covenant with the king of Qin, and killed soldiers to make the people recuperate.

The world depends on the difference.

However, the first emperor collapsed in the middle of the road, and the army of the king of Qin coerced the southern capital as a tired egg, and in a hurry he was pushed by the people to supervise the country to take charge of state affairs, which was an expedient measure, but he guarded the society and treated his brother, fortunately, thanks to the help of the virtuous ministers, he worked together, so that the Ming Dynasty was as strong as it is today.

But after all, she is a woman.

Therefore, he welcomed his brother and wanted to retreat to the boudoir and never asked about foreign affairs.

I don't want my brother to be confused by traitors, forget the teachings of the first emperor, and collude with the slaves to disrupt the world. From today on, all the Zhu family is given by the people, and thanks to the grace of the people, the concubine here takes Haotian God as a witness to make a covenant with the people, and since then the succession to the throne has been democratized by the people. If the descendants of the Zhu family are incompetent in the future, and the people abandon the Zhu family, the Zhu family will retreat and the people will not be able to fight, and the descendants of the Zhu family will not violate this covenant in later generations, and the violators will be punished by people and gods. ”

She said firmly.

There was a lot of discussion all around.

This means that in the future, the heir to the throne must be approved by the Four People's Assembly, and only those who agree with the Four People's Assembly are the heirs to the throne.

Whether he is surnamed Zhu or not.

Well, he can be surnamed Yang.

In other words, Her Majesty the Empress is also very cunning, this seemingly righteous and awe-inspiring covenant, to put it bluntly, paves the way for his son to succeed to the throne, anyway, as long as the people do not want the descendants of the Zhu family, then the Zhu family's right to inherit the throne will be gone.

Please note!

She said that it was all about the Zhu family.

She didn't say that the Yang family must abide by this covenant in the future, what she said was that all the Zhu family was given by the people, but she didn't say that everything in the Yang family was given by the people, and after her son succeeded to the throne in the future, there was no need to abide by this covenant at all, and her son was not the Zhu family, so he didn't need to care about this covenant at all. But no matter what her careful thoughts were, this move still in fact gave the Four Peoples Assembly the right to choose an heir, allowing Daming to cross over to the glorious ***, that is, the succession law to the throne signed by William with the parliament after he robbed his uncle and father-in-law of the throne.

The choice of the heir to the throne no longer rested with the emperor himself, but was decided by the parliament.

Or rather......

The throne was conferred by the Assembly of the Four Peoples.

The representatives of the four peoples who understood this applauded.

Although in fact they have already decided on the ownership of the throne once, there is no real institutional basis for that.

They deposed Zhu Cihong and established Princess Kunxing as the empress only relying on Yang Qing's support, but the terms of reference of the Four People's Assembly did not include the abolition, and Her Majesty's covenant gave the Four People's Assembly the right to decide on the throne from the system. As for the empress's careful thinking, it doesn't matter, anyway, there will definitely be no such thing when she and Yang Qing are alive, even if the Four Peoples Assembly really decides the ownership of the throne, it will have to be after Yang Qing dies. But if Yang Qing died, this system would really work, and after a few decades or hundreds of years, the Four People's Congress would be truly perfected, and without the pressure of a strongman like Yang Qing, the Four People's Congress could really suppress the imperial power.

That's a good thing!

A good thing that no matter what class dreams of.

"Your Majesty, have you drafted a written thing?"

Wang Fuzhi asked cautiously.

"Yes!"

Her Majesty said.

She didn't know that she had actually dug a hole for her descendants, and maybe she didn't care if she knew, after all, she had to solve the legitimacy of her son's succession to the throne first, and she inherited the throne because her surname was Zhu, but her son couldn't have the surname Zhu. Besides, the emperor is a strong man, as long as he firmly controls the military power and financial power, what can the Four People's Congress do?

As for Yang Qing, of course he knew, but Yang Qing felt that there was no need to remind his fiancée.

He didn't care what happened next.

Because he has too long to solve all his problems, he is only thirty now, and with his current physique, he will live to one hundred and thirty without any pressure, and it is estimated that he can survive his own son. He was not prepared to be the emperor, and the plan was that after the death of the empress, their son would inherit him, and then he would continue to be the de facto emperor and escort his son. Then there is no need to care about these trivial things at all, if one day he really has to die, then such a system is a good thing for the people of the country. The British have used such procedures to prove that this gradual approach has minimal side effects, and that his tortoise-like longevity is enough to ensure the complete transformation of the country in his lifetime.

So he doesn't care about the current one.

He wants to change it later, and there is time, but now Her Majesty is just a little impatient.

Soon the Covenant was drafted.

Her Majesty looked at it casually, and then signed it without hesitation.

At this time, the jade seal had also been brought.

As an official on the empress's side, the Duke of Chu then sealed the covenant, and the de facto succession law of the Ming Dynasty was born, and the heir to the emperor was decided by the Four People's Assembly. Theoretically, we still try to choose from the descendants of the Zhu family, but if there is no suitable one among the descendants of the Zhu family, then choose from the relatives, after all, the descendants of the relatives also have the blood of the Zhu family.

But it's still limited to men.

Empress: This is a special case.

First of all, the invasion of Jiannu was imminent, and the throne could not be left vacant for a long time, after all, it was a threat of war, and secondly, her brothers were all with Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was actually involved in the plan against the Duke of Chu, so it is still unknown whether he would join forces with Dorgon. In this case, he can't be given another chance to enter the southern capital with the Son of Heaven, last time he supported Zhu Cihong, and then took Zhu Cihong to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes' 800,000 troops to go down to the south of the Yangtze River. This time, if the empress is not quickly enthroned, maybe he will take the new emperor and join forces with Dolgon, Zhang Xianzhong and others to invade, and the empress will first prevent him from holding the Son of Heaven hostage again to order the princes.

Of course, if Li Zicheng really wants to invade, he will still set up a king and then crusade against Jiangnan.

But......

This is not the case.

The 400,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty are waiting for it!

To put it bluntly, the above are all excuses, everyone knows that Li Zicheng will not be so stupid, including Dolgon's southern invasion is also nonsense, everyone knows that at this time, only the Ming army takes the initiative to beat others, and absolutely no one will provoke this 400,000 tiger and wolf army without knowing whether they are alive or dead. But there must always be an excuse to use to show that the situation is special now, and it can only be done on a special basis, after all, a queen is still a little too sudden. In fact, with the speed of information transmission at this time, it is estimated that some remote places have never thought that there would be an empress!

Even if you have a newspaper, you can't do it.

Even a telegram may not be able to spread the news of Nanjing to all counties in half a month, and it has only been half a month since the first march shouted the slogan of the empress.

After the signing of the covenant, everyone shifted their positions to the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace, and held the enthronement ceremony in the main hall of the Imperial Palace. The special feature is that the Fengtian Hall was opened, allowing ordinary people to observe the enthronement ceremony in the square around the Fengtian Temple, as a witness to the empress's accession to the throne. In fact, there should be a sacrifice to the heavens, but at this time, there are not many days before the winter solstice, and it is enough to wait until the winter solstice together, and this kind of sacrifice must make some preparations.

There is also the era name.

It's going to take some time to think about that.

It happens to be almost the Spring Festival, and for the time being, the year name of Longxing is used, unless this kind of thing usurps the throne and changes the dynasty, otherwise it will be delayed until the first day of the first month before the official change of the yuan.

In short, at this point, the Empress of the Ming Dynasty officially ascended the throne and announced it to the world.

The Ming Dynasty entered the era of the empress.
