Chapter 205: Enthronement
Zhu Yousong and Zhou Shuye entered the capital with their front and back feet.
Although Zhou Shuye fought bloodily all the way and was not the first to enter the city, when he heard that Zhu Yousong had entered Beijing, he was still busy taking a few henchmen and Yue Chenfeng and others into Beijing together.
In the nine-fold imperial city, the doors of the palace were opened one after another, and Zhu Yousong and a group of guards entered on horseback. Although this move is very unruly, but he is robbed all over the world, who dares to be so blind, come up and make rules with him.
came to the Yangxin Palace, which used to be the place where Zhu Yousong played when he was very young. The memories of the previous life are already a little blurry, and it can be seen that the days of leaving Beijing have been a long time.
The guards of the Imperial City have undergone a major change, and all of them are the guards of the Fuwang Mansion. Zhu Yousong looked at it curiously, look here, touch there, look like he has never seen the world, in fact, the Fuwang Mansion is no less luxurious than the palace, but this is the palace, and the cultural heritage is here. Looking at an inconspicuous table, it may be an antique literary toy.
Yue Chenfeng took Zhou Shuye with him, and as soon as he entered the capital in a hurry, he went straight to Shen Muhong to catch up. On the contrary, it was Zhou Shuye who came to the palace with ups and downs. How many years of dreams, standing in the center of the temple, the desire to dominate the world, is about to come true, and he can't help but be excited.
Hearing that Zhu Yousong was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhou Shuye hurried over with a few people.
Zhu Yousong hadn't seen him for half a year, and when he saw him enter the hall, he said happily: "Old Zhou, this time it's almost the difference between life and death, haha." ”
Zhou Shuye naturally knew that what he was talking about was Nanyang in distress. It can be said that without that time, Zhao Hong would not have left. Zhou Shuye was unable to monopolize the power of Shaanxi, so he went all the way east to the edge of Beijing. There will be no chance for Shen Muhong to steal his home, and he will really enter a protracted war with the imperial court, and I don't know what year the rebellion will succeed.
Although Zhou Shuye was also full of emotion, it was too late to sigh, he hurriedly said: "Lord, if you don't inherit the unification at this time, when will you wait?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yuanhua came in outside the door to report: "Lord, a group of officials have come to the top of the city, and now they are kneeling outside the gate, please ask the prince to succeed to the emperor's throne!" ”
Zhu Yousong scolded secretly, the literati were shameless. Zhou Shuye took the opportunity to say: "The post-war reconstruction of the Central Plains is imminent, the thieves in Shaanxi, Gansu and Jiubian are still raging, and the situation in eastern Liaodong is complicated. The prince inherited the unification at this time, and everyone expected it, so he took the Ming Dynasty to regroup and clean up this mess. Without further ado, if you prevaricate for too long, you are afraid that people's hearts will change. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yousong came to the courtyard in the capital, and the civil and military officials, honorable relatives and ministers who got the news, made an appointment to come here to persuade them to enter.
According to Zhou Shuye's arrangement by Shen Muhong, Zhu Yousong should refuse a few times and say a few more words. The general meaning is nothing more than that this king is on the side of the Qing monarch, who knows that the emperor misunderstood, ran to the island of Taiwan, and did not want to be the emperor. This king is helpless, his ancestors can't be lost, so he has to avoid difficulties and become this emperor. According to the ancient rites, after resigning from the throne three times, you can officially ascend the throne.
Zhu Youzhen's ascension to the throne was still short, and he had no team, which also made Zhu Yousong's resistance to succeeding to the throne much smaller. Moreover, his time was not very ripe, so he vigorously suppressed the eunuchs, and the people of the government and the opposition were panicked.
The eyes of the civil and military officials all showed eager expressions, since ancient times, when the new monarch ascended the throne, there will always be some mermaids jumping into the dragon gate. In particular, the officials of the Luoyang Department were already cheering. Everyone surrounded Zhu Yousong, from King Fu's courtyard, to the palace. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said, "Please hold an enthronement ceremony for Your Highness." ”
This enthronement ceremony, naturally, there is no way to compare with the past. In a hurry, there are some places that do not conform to the etiquette law, but fortunately, Zhu Yousong doesn't care about these things the most. In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yousong sat on the throne and overlooked the ministers in the hall. Just a month ago, they were their enemies, and every day they thought about nothing more than how to get rid of themselves as a traitor. In a short time, he has been sitting here and becoming a monarch with them.
Since he ascended the throne, it is inevitable that personnel arrangements will be made. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, his subordinates disregarded life and death and helped themselves to lay down the country, how could they snub the hearts of the people.
The first is Shen Muhong, who attacked the capital, although he is a civilian official, he has made such great military achievements. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only those above the national prince can be canonized with military merits. It's just that the position of the prince of the country is high and respected, and there are very few people who can be crowned the prince of the country before their death. Shen Muhong was named the Duke of Fuguo, the prince and the prince (from the first product), and the honor was extreme. If it weren't for the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty would no longer have held such an official position.
Although Zhou Shuye did not enter the capital, his credit is obvious. If you really talk about it, it is not much better than Shen Muhong. If Shen Muhong is the one who picks peaches, Zhou Shuye is undoubtedly the one who planted peach trees. Zhou Shu was sealed by Ning Guogong at night, the prince and the prince (from a product). Daughter Zhou Yingzi (Su Yue) is a concubine.
Although Zhao Hong returned to the horse to rescue Zhu Yousong, the credit for the command was not obvious, but the bloody battle in Tongguan and Dingding Heishidu has always been the main general. Zhao Hong was crowned as the Duke of Yasukuni, the crown prince Taibao (from a product).
Yue Chenfeng is a national ruler because of his private confinement, and he named Yue Yingying the queen. Yue Chenfeng himself is the Duke of Qi and the governor of the five armies.
What is surprising is that Sun Chuanting, who was captured under Heishidu, also had a reward. Sun Chuanting did not make an inch, and even led his troops to resist King Fu for a time. However, Zhu Yousong still named him the secretary of the military department, and he was crowned the prince of the second grade. Sun Chuanting's promotion made officials who were not from the Luoyang department see hope. After King Xiaofu ascended the throne, he did not appoint cronyism, but was still virtuous.
Others have bounties, and in general everyone is satisfied.
Then there is the problem of Liaodong. Huang Taiji tried his best to fight Jinzhou like crazy, and Liaodong was already in danger.
Zhao Shujiao, the minister of the king of Liaodong and the governor of Jiliao, wrote a book together with the general Yuan Chonghuan, and handed a table to show his allegiance to King Fu. Zhu Yousong asked Zhao Hong, the newly crowned Duke of Yasukuni, to lead the army to reinforcements. This is a battle of national fortunes no less than that of Salhu, and there is no room for failure. Huang Taiji did his best, and if he didn't plunder enough benefits this time, he would lose his prestige.
Luoyang soldiers and horses were divided into three, and Zhang Hao took 5,000 cavalry out of the pass and went to pacify the thieves in Shanxi, Shaanxi. If you want to pacify Qinchuan, what you need is not thousands of troops and horses, but sufficient disaster relief food.
Zhao Hongqin led the main force of 100,000 people to aid Liaodong, and collected grain in Jiangnan by sea and transported it to Liaodong. The rest of the guards in the capital, after all, have just ascended the throne, and there are no disobedient forces in Baoqi, who want to be proud of Zhu Youzhen.
As for the relocation of the capital to Luoyang, which was played by Luoyang officials, Zhu Yousong vetoed it.
The Son of Heaven guarding the country is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be abandoned.
