While washing his face, Xiao Ruxun asked Zhou Yao if he had washed his face.

When you get up in the morning, you always have to wash your face to be comfortable, take cold water in summer, wash hot water in winter, and wipe a towel, so that Xiao Ruxun can really get up.

Zhou Yao stood aside and shook his head: "The minister is not important, Your Majesty is the most important." ”

"Hehehehehehe, you're really thinking about me."

Xiao Ruxun handed the face towel to a palace maid, and the palace maid took the towel with trepidation, seemingly a little frightened.

"You found this?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Zhou Yao: "Is it already usable?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, they are all little palace maids who have just entered the palace for less than a year, and they are still in the stage of miscellaneous work, and they are absolutely reliable."

"Hmm."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "In terms of my daily life, you still arrange some reliable chamberlains and palace maids to be in charge, and restore order in the palace as soon as possible, you don't want to be the head of the palace anymore, you have more things to do." ”

Zhou Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Let the cook prepare breakfast, and you can go out for a walk with me."

Xiao Ruxun walked out of the palace as he spoke, and walked around the perimeter of the Imperial Palace.

"Zixian, you say, I arranged for the Ming royal family to be strictly supervised on Jeju Island, how about it?"

Zhou Yao heard for the first time about Xiao Ruxun's plans for the Ming royal family.

"It is undoubtedly very convenient to arrange it on an island surrounded by the sea on all sides, of course, it can be firmly monitored, and it can also avoid any impact on them in the Central Plains, and restrict their movements, it is undoubtedly a very convenient thing, but it is ......."

"Just what?"

Xiao Ruxun asked.

"It's just, Your Majesty, Jeju Island is the territory of North Korea, is it slightly inappropriate for us to arrange the former Ming royal family on the territory of North Korea? Will the North Koreans agree? ”

Zhou Yao's worries are not unreasonable, but for Xiao Ruxun, this is not a problem.

"Does North Korea dare not agree?"

Hearing Xiao Ruxun say this, Zhou Yao said that he had nothing to say.

If the authority of the Central Dynasty is used to suppress North Korea, let alone a Jeju Island, as long as Xiao Ruxun is willing, he can now mobilize troops to take the Korean Peninsula as his own and set it up as a province of China.

Not to mention that six years ago, Xiao Ruxun personally led troops to North Korea to help North Korea drive away the Japanese invaders, Xiao Ruxun knows the political geography of North Korea well, and still has great prestige and influence in North Korea, and this influence will become incomparably huge with Xiao Ruxun's establishment of the Great Qin Empire.

There is no way, North Korea pursues greatism, Li Chao is much more honest than the previous Goryeo, honest to be the dog of the Ming Dynasty, proudly calling himself Little China, they also tried their best to resist when the Manchus invaded at the beginning, but they really couldn't beat the Manchus.

Chongzhen was too busy to take care of himself, although he ordered to send troops, but his subordinates did not obey his orders, and sat back and watched Korea be conquered by the Manchus, and from then on could not become a force for the Ming Dynasty to contain the Manchus in Liaodong.

It was not until the first half of the eighteenth century that the Korean government truly recognized the Manchus as suzerain, but the hostility of the people towards the Manchus did not decrease much.

Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty can surrender, let alone inherit the Great Qin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, which represents Chinese orthodoxy, and North Korea dares to say a word?

"All in all, don't care about the other vassal states first, you send a credential to North Korea as soon as possible, tell the king of North Korea that the Ming Dynasty no longer exists, and that Great Qin is the central government, let the king of Korea change his religion, proclaim himself a vassal to Great Qin, and ask for the title of Great Qin on the table, first determine the status of the monarch and minister, and then go to talk about Jeju Island."

"I understand."

Zhou Yao received the order.

It should be said that Jeju Island was occupied by the Mongol Yuan during the Mongol Yuan period, and the Mongol Yuan even set up a base camp for the conquest of Japan in Korea itself, which was equivalent to indirectly colonizing and controlling the Goryeo Kingdom at that time.

It was not until many years after Meng Yuan was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty that the official forces that Meng Yuan had left on Jeju Island surrendered to Korea, and the current Lee Joseon government began to take over Jeju Island, which has continued to this day.

In any case, Xiao Ruxun decided to take Jeju Island under his rule, not only to trap the Zhu Ming royal family, but also to play some other roles.

Of course, the premise is that North Korea knows each other, and if North Korea doesn't know each other, Xiao Ruxun doesn't mind educating North Koreans.

However, Xiao Ruxun estimates that North Korea will know each other very well, just like the Kong family.

After distraction, Xiao Ruxun returned to the Imperial Palace for breakfast, and after breakfast, he ordered the civil and military officials in the capital to gather again in the Imperial Palace, and then he would lead them to advance to Cining Palace, ask to see the Empress Dowager Li, and let the Empress Dowager Li act according to the steps stipulated yesterday.

In this way, they can be completely separated from the Ming royal family in a sense.

You can also see some useful information from it, such as which people are the most shameless, who still have a conscience, who can keep and continue to use, who can't, who needs to be belittled, and who can be retained for promotion.

Even under the premise of moral corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, there were still some officials who were not stained by the mud.

At the end of the hour, the civil and military officials gathered and went to Cining Palace under the leadership of Xiao Ruxun, Cining Palace is much smaller than the Huangji Palace, which can only accommodate some high-ranking officials, and the remaining small shrimps are very bitter and follow behind to blow the wind and freeze, if it weren't for Xiao Ruxun last night to distribute some cotton clothes to these officials overnight, it is estimated that they can't stand it now.

Now it looks like they are wearing official uniforms one by one, but the inside of the government is bulging, and at first glance, the cotton clothes are worn inside, and the official clothes are put on the outside.

Their lives were somewhat better, and they began to accept the existence of Xiao Ruxun, and began to gradually accept the fact that the Ming Dynasty no longer existed, and the new Great Qin Dynasty was about to be established.

Although they have many doubts and puzzles about this country name, they do not dare to make irresponsible remarks about the country name, and they even think that Xiao Ruxun has some guilt about the previous dynasty, so he uses the title given to him by the previous dynasty as the country name.

And no matter what these people think, Xiao Ruxun has already led the civil and military ministers to guard the gate of the main hall of Cining Palace and start a wave of offensive against Empress Dowager Li.

They asked Empress Dowager Li to accept the facts, personally lead Zhu Changluo to participate in the enthronement ceremony to be held on the first day of the first month of next year, cede the imperial throne to Emperor Xiao Ruxun of Great Qin, and complete the nominal transfer of power.

The cold wind was stiff, their requests were beaten back again and again, and they were reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Li over and over again as brazen people, disregarding the emperor's grace, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The further back they go, the more anxious and restless they become.

Because Xiao Ruxun's complexion became more and more ugly.

Led by Zhao Shiqing, the frequency of the officials' requests increased, and the tone became more and more unpolite, and in the end, they actually rushed into the main hall of Cining Palace to force Empress Dowager Li to accept the facts.

It seems that they are looking forward to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Great Qin Dynasty more than Xiao Ruxun.

Two hours later, in the afternoon, the stomachs of the group were growling with hunger, and the Empress Dowager Li finally ended the confrontation and finished her role, showing the emotions of an old lady who was forced to give in.

The former ministers of the former Ming Dynasty celebrated with their crowns, and then knelt down in front of Xiao Ruxun, collectively shouting long live, long live, long live.

I have to say that this meeting is really very festive.
