In the afternoon, after a busy day's work, Yang Xuan took a group of people to climb Gaoguan Mountain (today's Snake Mountain) to play, because of the experience of his previous life, he paid great attention to the combination of work and rest, rather than staying in the Chu Wangfu Carrier Hall all day long to deal with government affairs.

Looking at the Chu Wangfu in front, although after some rest, the area of the palace is too large, and some sections are also broken, which makes people not very embarrassed.

Since the recovery of Wuchang, Yang Xuan has taken the Chu Palace's residence as his residence to handle government and military affairs.

Compared with the Shu Palace, the Chu Palace, there is no major damage, covering an area of tens of thousands of meters, looking at it from a distance, it makes people feel a lot.

Wang Fuzhi talked eloquently, the origin of this Chu Palace, the feng shui of this Chu Palace, anecdotes, and chatting after work as a pastime.

The palace of the king of Chu is located at the southern foot of Gaoguan Mountain, sitting in the north and facing south, with Gaoguan Mountain in its back, it is 2 miles wide from east to west, 4 miles long from north to south, covering an area of 8 square miles, which is equivalent to half of Wuchang City.

In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1370), Zhu Yuanzhang named the sixth son Zhu Zhen as the king of Chu, and the following year began to build the palace on the south side of Gaoguan Mountain (now Snake Mountain) in Wuchang, which took 9 years to complete.

At that time, the palace of the king of Chu was full of palaces, pavilions and water pavilion courtyards, and there were more than 800 palaces, palace rooms, halls, and temples.

The surrounding stone is the city, two zhang and nine feet high, known as "the royal city";

Open four gates, the main gate is called the town of Chumen, commonly known as the public yamen, there is still a place name called "Wangfukou".

The base of the main hall is six feet nine inches high, the main entrance, the front and rear halls, and the four gates of the city wall are decorated with green, and the corridor is decorated with blue. The main gate of the four cities, with Dan lacquer, gold coated with copper nails, luxurious and magnificent, like a palace.

I didn't notice it when I was doing things in the palace on weekdays, but now I listen to everyone talking about the feng shui of the Chu Palace, the scenery of the Chu Palace, Yang Xuan is very interested and listens to it.

It is rare to see that the prince is so interested in his home residence, and the head of the palace, Ren Su, has an idea, thinking of the auspicious rays that have appeared in various places in the past few days, and feels that the time is ripe.

The so-called auspicious rui, also known as Furui, is considered by Confucianism to be a natural phenomenon that expresses the will of heaven and is beneficial to people.

For example, there are colorful clouds, grass and double flowers, sweet springs from the ground, strange birds and beasts, these natural landscapes to express the will of heaven.

Since the farce of the king has intensified, since the last support, although it has not been as everyone wishes, many good people have found the clue and have offered auspicious gifts to the world to express their willingness to change the dynasty.

The loyal and righteous army is stationed in the southwest, close to the south, and there are countless strange birds and beasts, but now under the deliberate operation of some good deeds, there are local officials who come in every ten years to offer auspiciousness.

For example, auspicious clouds are found in a certain place, sweet springs emerge from a flat land, unicorns are found in a certain place, and white wolves and red rabbits are captured in a certain place.....

Abound.

These auspicious Yang Xuan were left to their own devices, without saying a word.

But this simulated ambiguity encouraged local officials to rush to the front.

Although Ren Su was born as a Jinshi, he has always been eager to establish special merits through support, and now he sees that the prince listens to it with relish, and he is quite nostalgic for the Chu Palace, and feels that the opportunity has come.

Ren Su knelt down and pleaded: "Lord, my people are really miserable, not only to support the emperor, but also to support more than forty princes.

These princes are all clothed and fed, plus tens of thousands of royal relatives, how can such people not suffer.

Wangye, when Weichen came from CD, the local 120 county councils and 10 provincial councils gathered with local officials to write to the prince, begging the prince to be the emperor."

Yang Xuan was shocked, turned his head and stared at the other party, looked at the petition handed over, suddenly shrank back, looked at the other party, shook his head and said, "Brother Ren, I understand everyone's intentions, but now our enemy is a Tartar, and we must not cause trouble." ”

Liu Weiming, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and others were born in the righteous army, and they always had a little bit of a mismatch with the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, and when they saw Yang Xuan like this, they all came out and said: "Lord Wang, you appease the righteous army and lead the troops to expel the Tartars, this country was originally fought by you, and the prince should be called the emperor himself."

The prince, as King Chuang said, the Ming Dynasty has run out of energy.

Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty that does not perish, since Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty died once, and then Emperor Hongguang, Emperor Longwu, and Emperor Shaowu were annihilated three times in a row, and the Ming Dynasty has already existed in name only. ”

Wu Zhaoyuan, Lei Yuelong, Yin Chengqi, Huang Yingyun and others next to him also knelt down and pleaded: "Lord Wang, now that the Tartars have invaded the Central Plains, the people have long been miserable, and the Ming Dynasty is already exhausted, and it is difficult to take on the heavy task of expelling the Tartars.

I hope that the prince will work hard and call the emperor himself, so as to lead my trillions of Han compatriots to expel the Tatars, restore China, relieve the people, and create a prosperous world. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and looked at everyone: "Everyone, everyone, why is this?"

We occupy Wuchang, although we have made a contribution to the size, but now the Tartars still occupy the land of the two capitals, you let the lone king be the emperor, if so, the lone king simply retreats to the mountains and forests."

Wu Zhaoyuan shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, now the emperor is weak, and he only knows how to run away.

The prince now has jurisdiction over more than 6 provinces (including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi, and Gansu), and we hope that the prince can be the emperor to lead everyone to expel the Tartars and restore the second capital. ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "Although the current emperor is very weak, he only knows how to escape and ask about the resistance plan, but after all, he personally named the county lord as the eldest princess, and it stands to reason that he is also my brother-in-law, so how can I bear to take the throne." ”

Ren Su kowtowed and said: "Lord, since Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the Ming Dynasty has already lost the hearts of the people, and now although there are four emperors, it is just that everyone wants to use this as a call to raise the great cause of resisting the Tartars."

Although Emperor Longwu tried his best to govern the Northern Expedition, Emperor Hongguang reused traitors, Emperor Shaowu only knew infighting, and today's saints are blindly fleeing.

Lord Wang, the subjects of the world are not the material for the emperor until today, and the prince is a scholar in northern Shu, who has been cultivating and reading for generations, and is now the king of Shu.

The ministers hope that the prince can be proclaimed emperor, so that he can lead everyone to the Northern Expedition together, and realize the dream of the prince expelling the Tartars and restoring the Chinese relief to the people and creating a prosperous world. ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Everyone, I will lead you to realize the grand blueprint of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Chinese people to create a prosperous world, but forget about being the emperor." ”

Qian Bangxin seemed to be quite struggling, but he still came out and said: "Lord, the county lord is the eldest daughter of the king of Shu, and the first granddaughter of the king of Chuyang (Guo Zixing) is the twelfth generation, and the eleventh generation granddaughter of Emperor Hongwu, of course, the status is extremely noble."

The prince and the eldest princess are friends in trouble, and they love and envy others.

If the prince can establish the eldest princess as the queen after the emperor, and the eldest princess will be the crown prince, it is expected that Emperor Taizu Gao will know about it underground, and he will not say anything.

Lord, only you can lead everyone to expel the Tartars and restore China, and I hope that the prince will not hesitate to make the emperor himself. ”

Qian Bangqi is a conservative figure, and the last time everyone supported it in Guiyang, they blocked it, but I didn't expect to openly support it today.

Unexpectedly, today he actually publicly pleaded for the emperor to stand on his own, could it be that the other party has already compromised in his heart, or is there some other reason?

Yang Xuan suddenly realized, feeling that those old and young relics of the Ming Dynasty are now willing to support themselves, because of the identity of the county lord Zhu Shuying, and because he hopes that he will be able to set up his second son Yang Wu as the crown prince after becoming emperor?

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan felt that it was still a little too abrupt, now that the Nanming regime controls all of Guangxi and a corner of Guangdong, plus the Fujian and Zhejiang Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong departments, if the emperor is now resolutely the enemy, it is not conducive to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Xuan resolutely vetoed the idea of being the emperor and self-reliance, and claimed to be the superintendent of the country, the king of Shu, and the world's soldiers and horses to recruit (in history, Zheng Chenggong once claimed to be loyal and filial piety to recruit the general's surname, and Sun Kewang also claimed to be the world's soldiers and horses), and established a hundred officials and subordinates (Zhu Yuanzhang called the queen also used to do so) to complete the preparation for the emperor.

Combined with the state institutional settings of the Ming Dynasty and the previous life, after finding their commonalities and differences, Yang Xuan established the corresponding state apparatus.

The establishment of Zhongshu Province, just like the State Council in the previous life, with Wu Zhaoyuan as the left national minister, from the first product, to coordinate the affairs of the country.

Liu Changlin is the right minister of state, the second product, assisting the left minister to work, responsible for the affairs of the household department, the industrial department, and the commercial department (that is, the so-called financial cabinet).

The establishment of the Privy Council, just like the General Office of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission in the previous life, with Yin Chengqi and Li Dingguo as the left and right privy envoys, is the second product, Wu Yanghu, Zhao Ronggui, Liu Wenxiu, He Zhen, Fan Mingshan, and Chen Yingzong are the servants of the Privy Council, in order to assist in military affairs, from the second grade.

Set up the Supervision Yuan (formerly the Metropolitan Procuratorate, just like the former Century Committee), Qian Bangqi and Chen Jichang were the imperial envoys of the left and right capitals, and they were in charge of the supervision affairs of the palace.

Ren Su is the head of the palace, Gu Yanwu of the prince is the director of the palace, and Zhou Zheng and Zhang Lang are the directors of the palace, responsible for confidential and official correspondence.

Yin Chengqi, the left privy envoy, was appointed as the governor of Hubei

Appointed Yan Ximing as the fourth (Governor of Sichuan

Jiang Dingzhen succeeded as governor of Guizhou

Fan Wenguang was the governor of Yunnan

Zou Jianchen is the political envoy of Hubei Province and the prefect of Wuchang.

Zhao Ronggui was appointed as the soldier squire

Fan Kwong is the treasurer

Tao Ru Nai's servant

Zhou Kangeng is a waiter for the people

Lei Yuelong is the waiter of the ceremonial division

Song Shihui is the waiter of the Ministry of Engineering

Pan Mengke is the squire of the criminal division........

In the army, the total number of soldiers is the second rank, the deputy general is the third rank, the staff will be the fourth rank, the guerrilla general is the fifth grade, the thousand total will be the sixth grade, the total will be the seventh grade, the brigade commander will be the eighth grade, and the squadron leader will be the ninth grade.

In addition to the establishment of auxiliary officers, the general army also needs to establish a military and political section, a staff section, a training section, and a logistics section, whose section chiefs are six grades, and each section has 1~2 deputy section chiefs for seven-rank officers, and most of the others are eight-rank staff officers.

The lieutenant general commanded the towns, and his assistant officials were one level lower.

………。

As said in the past, in the Ming Dynasty, each prince's mansion is a miniature version of the Forbidden City, the entire Chu palace (now called Shu Wangfu) area is equivalent to half of Wuchang City, Yang Xuan put the palace chief official and the privy council into the more than ten partial courtyards on the left and right sides of the carrier hall to work.

Yang Xuan changed the Hubei administrative office to Hanyang Mansion, and in the past, the governor's yamen was renamed the left minister's mansion, the political envoy changed the yamen to the right minister's mansion, and the patrol yamen was renamed the imperial history yamen.

Yang Xuan ordered the Department of Rites and Officials to work with each yamen to formulate the organizational regulations of each yamen, determine the main responsibilities of each yamen, and the general staffing of each yamen. After more than half a year of operation, the functions of each yamen have basically been clarified, and Yang Xuan hopes to fix them through forms and documents.

Of course, Yang Xuan will not keep the structure of each yamen and the number of officials unchanged as in the past.

At the same time as the establishment of the Hundred Officials Division, Yang Xuan, with Liu Wenxiu, the Privy Councillor, as the commander as the commander, led the 13th Town, the 15th Town of Cao Zhang, and the 1st Town of Chen Huaixi's Naval Army down the river, and pursued the Yue Le Corps together with the 7th Town of Jin Tongwu in Jiangbei.

He ordered Wu Yanghu, the secretary of the Privy Council, to lead Guo Chonglie's 3rd Town, Feng Youqing's 10th Town, and Li Laiheng's 14th Town to rest and recuperate by Dongting Lake to actively prepare for entering Hunan.
