Li Xiuwen's previous enthronement ceremony was too simple, and after officially entering the capital this time, under the persuasion of a group of Ming Dynasty ministers, it was necessary to hold a grand enthronement ceremony again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

said that it was grand, but it didn't delay too much time, Li Xiuwen is a pragmatic person, and he won't listen to those ministers talking nonsense and arguing about some ceremonial things. If it weren't for the current need for a stable situation, he would have wanted to take them out one by one and investigate them thoroughly, and all the serious crimes would have been cut down.

The death of the Ming Dynasty is really the death of Wenchen!

On the first day of August, Li Xiuwen officially ascended the throne in Bei 1 Beijing, and the basic system of the Ming Dynasty did not change for the time being, and the subordinates basically retained their original positions without much change.

The positions of the left and right prime ministers, as well as the national teachers, were originally set in a hurry, and Li Xiuwen revoked these official positions. Li Yan and the others will not have any opinions, after all, they will all be knighted, and there is no problem in making some adjustments to their official positions.

Li Xiuwen followed the old system, and let Li Yan enter the cabinet as the first assistant, Niu Jinxing as the second assistant, and Song Xiance as the Qintian supervisor. All three of them were hereditary earls and ate 700 stones.

What everyone didn't expect was that Li Xiuwen decided to posthumously crown Li Dong as King Zheng and call him Zhong.

You must know that the one-word prince is the most noble, and usually only the direct royal family can be named the one-word king, such as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Zhou, the king of Fu, the king of Lu, and so on.

The so-called "one-word side by side king" is actually made up in novels, but this statement is undoubtedly the closest to the one-word king.

Many ministers are extremely envious in their hearts, this is a great honor, with Li Dong's precedent, if they have made meritorious contributions in the future, they will still have the opportunity to be crowned king.

Of course, it may be posthumous, but it will also be glorious.

After that, it was the reward of the heroes of the Northern Expedition.

Sun Chuanting and Yang Zhenjin were crowned as the Duke of the Kingdom, and they were specially entered by Dr. Ronglu and the Right Pillar Country, with 2,500 stones, in addition, Zhang Yunying's father Zhang Shiheng was posthumously presented as the Duke of the Kingdom; Hong Chengchou and He Renlong entered the marquis and ate 1,000 stones, and Sun Mingwen, Han Lin, Chen Yi, Cao Bianjiao, Lin Hu, Zhao Xiong, Ma Mingda, Ge Tiancheng and other people who initially followed were all named earls, and they were given 700 stones, all of which were given world coupons.

In addition, the revocation of viscounts and barons, the original knights, and those who made outstanding achievements in the Battle of the capital were all awarded the title of immortal earl.

As for the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, naturally they could not be treated badly, and Zhu Chuncheng, the Duke of Chengguo, opened the city gate to enlarge the army into the city, and the original title remained unchanged. In addition, several ministers of Kaesong were also able to be added to the ranks.

As for the general soldiers at the border gates, they naturally also want to be rewarded, and Li Xiuwen also treats their families in the capital kindly. It's not fun to appease these people and let them in.

After that, it is the title of the harem, and the queen candidate of the mother world, naturally Yang Yuxuan is undoubted. In addition, Wang Bing was named Concubine Xian, Luo Yanran was named Concubine Shu, Dong Xiaowan was named Concubine Zhuang, Chen Yuanyuan was named Concubine Jing, and Zhang Yunying was named Concubine Hui.

What puzzled many ministers was that under the queen, there was no candidate for the position of the most noble concubine. But this is a matter of the harem, so they don't bother to care what Li Xiuwen is doing.

Zhu Lunkun, the king of Zhou, naturally retained the title of prince, and the vassal kings of other places, of course, Li Xiuwen would not approve of it.

When Li Xiuwen attacked the capital, only a small number of King Qin's troops appeared in the surrounding area, which had no effect at all, and Li Xiuwen was defeated. When he occupied the capital and became the emperor, the Qinwang army from all walks of life had not yet arrived.

As soon as the capital is broken, it can be spread everywhere, and even if there is resistance in individual areas, it will not be able to stop Li Xiuwen's pace of unifying the world.

After the enthronement ceremony, Li Xiuwen immediately ordered Sun Chuanting to lead the troops to Shanhaiguan, which was an important pass blocking the Manchu Qing and must be kept.

Hong Chengchou led his troops south, and recruited all the way to various states and counties, and the most important thing was naturally Jinling. As for the capital, Li Xiuwen only left 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city.

It's not that he trusts it, although Yang Sichang is on the way to lead the troops, there are not many soldiers and horses in his hands. There is another one, once his army learns that the capital has been broken, it is not bad if it does not collapse, and he still wants to attack the city?

Li Xiuwen had to admire these ministers and relatives of the Ming Dynasty, and the sons of Zhu Youzhen who were sent out to hide, all of them were sent back to ask for merit and reward.

Of course, there are ministers who were martyred, but compared with the number of ministers who surrendered, it was several times worse.

Li Xiuwen never thought about killing Zhu Youzhen's sons.

There are three reasons, one is that they are all still young, the oldest is the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who is only eleven years old and cannot pose a threat to himself at all; The second is that he will not let them get out of control, and they are all given the title of county king, but they are not given fiefs and are under house arrest in the palace. Third, it is conducive to quickly reassuring people's hearts.

As long as they don't make trouble for themselves, there is no problem with fine clothes and food for a lifetime, which is already a special preferential treatment.

For the defense of the palace, in addition to transferring some of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, Li Xiuwen also selected their sons from among the meritorious ministers to enter the palace as guards, and formed a team of imperial forest troops, with Zhao Yuanliang as the commander.

After some rectification, the capital quickly returned to normalcy, and the negative impact of this war was basically eliminated by Li Xiuwen.

What Li Xiuwen didn't expect was that before Yang Sichang marched into the capital, the army of King Qin under his command had already mutinied, Zuo Liangyu blatantly cut off his head, and several generals and leaders rushed to the capital to surrender.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Li Xiuwen will not abolish it, there are no minions, how to deal with the scholar class?

Wang Zhixin is still the commander of Dongchang, and the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal. As for Jinyiwei, Li Xiuwen asked his eldest brother Luo Yangxing to come out as the commander, Chen Yi served as the envoy of the northern town, and Yuan Hao served as the envoy of the southern town.

Li Xiuwen hasn't made a big move for the time being, because he hasn't sat down in the Dragon Court yet, and the scholar class still has to be appeased first. After recovering all the fiefs of the feudal kings in various places and restoring the national tax revenue, the cost of fighting the war will not be worrying for the time being.

The existence of the clerical management group and the scholar class has seriously threatened the rule of the imperial court. Li Xiuwen did not intend to extinguish the class of scholars and doctors, but to weaken their power, and at the same time elevate the status of the warriors, so as to achieve a balance between civil and military use.

The successive kings of the Ming Dynasty believe that no one can do this. But it is different, it has completely overthrown its rule, and the civilian clique is simply unable to suppress its own monarchy.

When the time comes, we can make drastic reforms. (To be continued.) )
