Things have come to this point, and there is no need to think much about the ending, Lu Jiude first stood on the commanding heights of legal justice and righteousness, and severely criticized the ministers of Donglin, and then the generals showed their blades very cooperatively, under double pressure, the ministers of the southern capital had to change their proposals again since Shi Kefa and agreed that Zhu Youhua would officially hold the enthronement ceremony three days later, and call the emperor the founding of the dynasty.

On the morning of April 18, the 17th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven in Nanjing. The enthronement ceremony officially began.

Zhu Youhua wore the imperial clothes and crowns sent by the internal officials, and slowly walked to the Temple of Heaven under the umbrella cover of Huangluo, and in the eyes of the civil and military ministers, he knelt down in front of the emperor's shrine box and saluted, and then got up and began his enthronement speech:

"The emperor's ministers sued the Emperor of Heaven from the birch, Zhu Jianming went through 16 generations, passed the country for 276 years, and the thieves fell into the northern capital, causing the first emperor to hang himself, and the ministers of the clan were covered with dust, and the disaster of destroying the country has never been seen in ancient times.

However, the order of heaven can not be unified, people and gods can not be absent from the lord, the minister by the birch to the emperor Chongzhen's royal brother, ordered by the general six divisions, the first to advocate the righteous brigade, people think of Mingde, the heavenly family Zhu Zong, want to belong to the artifact belongs to the minister by the birch, Zhu by the bracket is in awe, afraid of the load, ashamed of the future generations, devout to the emperor, fear of the heavens, ascend to the altar to receive Zen, change the Yuan chapter martial ......"

The people of the audience looked up to Zhu Youhua excitedly, feeling the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor at a difficult moment, Junxiu was infected by this tragic emotion, and couldn't help crying, while the four towns of Jiangbei such as Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and others showed covetous joy, Zhang Tanggong, Han Cheng, Ma Xiong and others looked around the Temple of Heaven vigilantly from time to time.

"The emperor's ministers are from Hua, and he will tell the emperor that he will lie down and taste his courage, work hard, cut off my enemies, restore my territory, restore the emperor's Ming, and rebuild the dynasty!" At the end of Zhu Youhua's speech, he couldn't help but raise his voice and express his determination to take revenge.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm, and the people shouted in unison: "Cut off my enemy!" Restore my territory! Kuang Fu Huang Ming! Rebuild the dynasty! ”

At five watch in the morning of the second day after the ceremony of ascending the altar to worship the sky, the sky has not yet been brightened, when the drum tower next to the noon gate comes to the first morning drum, the street drums on the opposite street of each city gate of Nanjing City respond in unison, and the dust of the six streets rumbles.

With the sound of drums, the civil and military officials entered the palace and waited in the court room outside the Wuying Palace.

Today is the first day of the new emperor's imperial court, after the three drums, the civil and military officials hurriedly walked out of the court room and went to the Wuying Palace.

When the ministers arrived at the gate of the palace, they lined up in two shifts according to the distinction between Wendong and Wuxi, and then according to the difference between positions and grades.

After a while, the internal official called: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Zhu Youhua wore a crown of twelve crowns, wearing a very grand crown dress, his face was solemn, and he entered the hall surrounded by a large group of officials in gorgeous costumes, and after ascending to the throne, then there was a dignified appearance, and the loud voice of the Honglu Temple official sang: "Enter the class and salute!"

Immediately, the civil and military officials faced the throne, and according to the praise of the officials of the Honglu Temple, they bowed their heads and solemnly faced, and Jishou Mountain shouted long live!

It is the most solemn of the nine prostrations, and it is often used by courtiers when they meet the king. But even so, it is not in the extremely formal, extremely important occasions in the ministers will not generally use, now is the new emperor ascended the throne, an important moment of the transfer of power, the ministers of the head of the ceremony is naturally a matter of course, at this moment, even if the ministers of Donglin have a complaint about Zhu Youhua, they still have to kneel down obediently, pay respects.

After the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Youhua, accompanied by officials of Nanjing City, visited the tomb of filial piety, and specially visited the mausoleum of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, a grand memorial service was held for his cousin Emperor Chongzhen.

In the evening, Zhu Youhua polished his first imperial book after ascending the throne: I took Feide, inherited the unification, and was above the people, it was difficult to be a difficult time, unknown and dangerous, if it would fall into the abyss, the disaster of Jiashen would never have existed in the ages, it was to mourn in my heart with a night's sleep, read the emperor's brother and humiliate the thieves, sympathize with the living souls in the military revolution, drink and weep and taste the gall, not to mention the peaceful residence, the people of the Quartet, the ambition and righteousness, and their compassion and bowing, to help the difficulties, so as to be at peace with the sect.

The state and county households recruit teachers and diligent kings, and the trouble of transferring hair should be thick and cared for, and the thick of endowment should be exempted. The disadvantages of the law should be changed by discussion. The rout of the army is a thief, and the order is renewed. Those who return to evil and return to righteousness will be lenient for their previous sins, and those who can kill thieves and self-efficacy will be judged by military merit. The dead officials lost their titles, and all of them were restored. Those who have been dismissed due to chaos will be allowed to return to office within one month. All old debts owed to the government will be forgiven. Xu Chenshu said that the people were suffering, although he slandered it, he did not add to the crime.

If a thief is a traitor, the crime cannot be forgiven, and he should be sent to be punished and placed in a typical example. The people of the world, the ancestors who have not forgotten themselves, should work together to help each other; The army and the people of the world do not want to fall into thieves, and when they work together to protect each other, the country is prosperous, the destiny of heaven is solidified, and the neighbors and enemies repent of the disaster, then they will give one person to Ning, and there will be endless news, and they will not be disagreed. Therefore, it is advisable to know about the edict.

The emperor's handwritten letter is for the imperial book, stamped with a seal, that is, the edict. That night, Zhu Youhua's edict announcing his ascension to the throne and calling on the military and people of the whole country to protect their homes and defend the country was sent to the southern provinces overnight.

On the second day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the Ministry of Officials drafted a list of people who entered the cabinet, and there were four people on it: Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Jiang Yueguang, the Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu, all four of them were all Donglin Party, and they all had one thing in common, they had offended Zhu Youhua.

This list of nominees was carefully selected and planned by members of the Donglin Party, and the purpose was to test Zhu Youhua's attitude towards the "anti-blessing faction."

After Zhu Youhua saw the list, he was very clear in his heart, and he summoned Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude, Liu Kongzhao, Zhao Zhilong and other "Tingfu faction" court members to discuss overnight. Almost alone in Beijing, he could only rely on a few "Tingfu faction" to help him ascend to the throne to fight against the Donglin Party, after some fierce deliberations, everyone left the palace satisfied, and prepared in advance for the upcoming cabinet election.

On the second day, Zhu Youhua decisively vetoed the list drawn up by the officials, and everyone panicked when they learned the news, thinking that the new emperor's counterattack was about to begin.

When they were actively plotting to find a way to deal with it, Zhu Youhua suddenly issued another edict to his subordinates: "The election of cabinet ministers is the most important matter of the new dynasty. There are many wise men and doctors in the DPRK, and everyone will have a chance. ”

Shi Kefa considered the importance of the new cabinet and also thought that it would be more convincing to conduct an open election, so he invited Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, Liu Zuochang, the Marquis of Anyuan, Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, Zhao Zhilong, the Bo Zhao Zhilong of Xincheng, Jiao Mengxiong of Dongning, Nanhe Bo Fang Yiyuan, Liu Kongzhao, Cheng Anbo, Guo Zuo, and other Nanjing ministers to discuss the state of the country.
