In the autumn and October of the fourth year of Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor Zhu Cijiong died in the Wuying Hall in Nanjing, and the general Cao Bianjiao followed the edict of Zhu Cijiong, and supported the Yongwang Zhu Cijiong to inherit the throne, and changed the next year to the first year of Longwu, and was called Huanzong in the temple of Zhu Cijiong, and was called "Emperor Fengtian Zundaokuan and Jingmu Xiuwen Buwu Wen Gongren Kemin".

The death of the emperor, for the people of the world, life has not changed, because the new emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor is high and does not care, even for some local officials, there is no fluctuation because of the death of the emperor, and the situation in Nanming is still developing steadily.

In the cabinet, Cao Bianjiao and the ministers are deliberating, the emperor has died, but the state affairs are heavy, or need to be dealt with, they can only take the community first, although the war is over, but many things have not been solved, and it needs to be decided as soon as possible, otherwise the northern lost land that has just been recovered will be in chaos, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

"The war is over, those who should be compensated should be compensated, and those who should be rewarded should also be rewarded, and the hearts of the soldiers cannot be cold, for the sake of the country, they threw their heads and spilled blood, and the court can not help but comfort the hearts of the people with kindness and righteousness, and the appointment and dismissal of officials in various places also need to be decided as soon as possible, the previous arrangement is just an expedient measure, and it is also necessary to send capable officials to govern the people, the north is not as good as the south, and it is very poisoned by the war, and it needs subsidies from the south, and this situation also needs to be improved step by step......

"This battle has almost hollowed out the foundation of the imperial court, and now the savings of the imperial court are not much, and it takes two years of recuperation, and I hope the general can understand ......" Yuan Jixian also said.

"The emperor has a will!"

Just when everyone was deliberating, Han Zanzhou came to the cabinet hall with a holy decree, and everyone also stopped one after another, preparing to fall on the ground to receive the decree.

Han Zanzhou took out an edict and read it out in public: "This is the first edict of the Son of Heaven after the new monarch ascended the throne, and it was awarded to General Cao, general, take the decree!" ”

Cao Bianjiao also knelt on the ground, waiting for Han Zanzhou to read the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Han Zanzhou opened Zhu Cizhi's edict and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, I am really afraid when I first ascend to the great treasure, because I am still young enough to preside over the court, and I will come to the ministers to assist." In accordance with the last orders of the first emperor, I have crowned the general Cao Bianjiao as the great Sima and the general, who is in charge of the military and political affairs inside and outside the imperial court, and is granted the right to arbitrarily determine the opportunity, so that the internal and external military and political affairs can be safe. Whenever I think of my father and brother, wars break out in various places, so that the government is sluggish and the people of Li suffer. I can't be at peace day and night in my heart, and the general Kuang Zheng is in the opposition, and he has to support the rivers and mountains, recover his hometown, and make the four seas clear, and specially add the general as the king of Wuding County, in order to show his praise, but the sword can go to the palace, visit the name, and enter the court. Chin this! ”

Zhu Cizhi's edict almost put Cao Bianjiao to an unparalleled position, and he was crowned king, which is unprecedented, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is no example of a king with a different surname, that is, the founding ministers Tang He and Xu Da are just dukes, and only the descendants of the Zhu family have this right. This title directly raised Cao Bianjiao's status to the top of the pyramid, which has never been appointed before the emperors, and completely delegating power to one person is something that no emperor will do, not only in charge of military and political affairs, but also to make his own decisions, which is equivalent to him being the second emperor, that is, before that, Cao Bianjiao himself did not think of fighting for such treatment for himself, but now with this edict, Cao Bianjiao has become the first person of the Ming Dynasty!

This edict is enough to show that Zhu Cizhi really trusts Cao Bianjiao. Of course, in addition to extreme trust, this edict also has a meaning, that is, Zhu Cizhi understands that he will never be able to control the entire Ming Dynasty with his own strength, so he used Cao Bianjiao to shock the world, otherwise he would not have given Ao Lie such power.

Cao Bianjiao himself was also a little surprised, he didn't expect this, and he was a little distracted for a while.

"General...... That, uh, King Wuding, please take the order! Han Zanzhou looked at Cao Bianjiao in a daze, and opened his mouth to remind Cao Bianjiao to accept the order.

Cao Bianjiao's body was shocked, and he shouted loudly on the spot: "The minister Cao Bianjiao thanked the saint for his grace, but the minister did not dare to accept the order, how could the minister be virtuous, how could he dare to be crowned a prince, besides, since the establishment of the dynasty by Emperor Taizu, there has never been a person with a different surname than the king, and the minister does not dare to violate the ancestral law!" And thousands of credits, all of them are counted as my own body, and I am ashamed to accept it, and I dare not be ashamed! ”

Regardless of whether Cao Bianjiao is really willing or not, but he must shirk this will, this is a courtesy, and it is a big deal to be crowned king, but it is not a will, he accepted it upside down, and he seems to have been looking forward to it for a long time, Cao Bianjiao does not want to be attacked by those rumors, although he doesn't care, but he also tries to avoid it.

"The general's merit is in the community, turning the tide in the crisis, the Ming Dynasty, if there is no general, I am afraid that it will already be in danger, how can it be prosperous today, and I hope that the general will not shirk, I feel that the general is deserved to be crowned a king." Wan Yuan Ji first stood up and persuaded him, asking Cao Bianjiao to accept it.

"That's what we mean, and please don't shirk the general!" Yuan Jixian also said.

Then everyone persuaded one after another, and Cao Bianjiao didn't agree, so they didn't give up, Cao Bianjiao also felt a little funny, and then he also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and bowed: "In this case, the minister will receive the decree and thank you!" ”

After a heavy rain, the weather in Nanjing also became cold, wet and early winter, which made people very uncomfortable, and when it was almost late, there was a small cool breeze......

Ren Rong'er sighed and sat down slowly, she is now nearly forty years old, the charm is still there, there is a trace of charm between her eyebrows, the weather is slightly cold, she is wearing a hibiscus brocade robe, a moon-white bandeau inside, the furrow on her chest, half covered and half hidden, it is tempting, she is almost forty years, her figure is still very good, and there are no wrinkles on her face......

Ren Rong'er was reading a book in the study, but she was suddenly hugged by someone from behind, a pair of big hands reached into her arms, kneading on her chest, the familiar body odor, you don't need to look at it to know who it is. The book in his hand fell on the bookcase.

Ren Rong'er's body was weak, and she suddenly collapsed in Cao Bianjiao's arms, and said coquettishly: "Those who pretend to be ghosts are not ashamed ......."

Cao Bianjiao turned his head sideways, gently held Ren Rong's earlobe, his tongue wandered along her ear, holding her * with one hand, and holding the softness of her chest with the other, as if talking to herself, and said in her ear: "I miss you, so come and see you, if you don't want to, then I can go......"

"Don't ......" Ren Rong hurriedly grabbed Cao Bianjiao's hand and didn't let him leave.

Cao Bianjiao sat down beside her, picked her up and put her on her lap, and said with a smile: "I'm here to take you back to the house and give you a name......

"Really?" Ren Rong was also shocked suddenly, and his eyes were a little moist.

Cao Bianjiao nodded, took her hand, and said, "Clean up, let's go home!" ”

"Hmm!" The word "go home" made Ren Rong's heart tremble, and she finally had a home, a justifiable home, and she couldn't help but lean on Cao Bianjiao's arms and sobbed.
