……

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the lantern festival of Confucius Temple ended. However, the remnants of the New Year's flavor that would soon dissipate in previous years not only did not dissipate quickly this year, but became more intense with the arrival of February.

Because everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

The place of worship of heaven and earth outside Nanjing has already been built, and the mound is built outside the Zhengyang Gate, the sun of Zhongshan; Fangqiu is outside the Taiping Gate, the yin of Zhongshan. The two layers of the mound altar are as follows in the case of Zhu Hongwu in the former Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Di set the rules, in terms of scale, the Temple of Heaven and Earth that he ordered someone to preside over the construction was much bigger than the Yuanqiu Altar built by his Lao Tzu in Nanjing. But considering the cost problem, Chen Ming chose Zhu Hongwu's version without hesitation.

The mound, the upper layer is four feet five feet wide, and five feet two inches high. The lower floor is one foot six feet five inches wide on each side and four feet nine inches high. The second floor has a diameter of seven feet and eight feet. The altar to the inner wall, each on each side is nine feet eight feet and five inches. From the inner wall to the outer wall, the south is 13 zhang 9 feet 4 inches, the north is 11 zhang, and the east and west are 11 zhang and 7 feet. Fangqiu, the upper layer is three feet wide and nine feet four inches, and the height is three feet nine inches. The lower floor is 5 feet 5 inches wide on each side, 3 feet 8 inches high, and 7 feet 4 inches in diameter. From the altar to the inner wall, all sides are eight feet nine feet and five inches. From the inner wall to the outer wall, each side is eight feet and two feet.

All of them were built according to the specifications of Zhu Ming's time, although it was the simplest version, but the various reasons and rules here, to sum up, it was possible to produce an old and thick book, and Chen Ming was so shocked when he heard it. With a wave of his hand, he did it according to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in terms of scale, it is much inferior to the Temple of Heaven and Earth in Beijing.

In addition, there are the imperial dome and the matching hall, the divine kitchen, the three warehouses and the slaughtering pavilion, and the ancillary building has a service platform, a lantern and so on. The Imperial Dome is the place where the tablets of the Emperor God and the eight generations of the emperor's ancestors are enshrined.

The closer the time is to the second day of the second month of February, the more countless people from other places gather in Nanjing. The Han Gaozu of that year held an enthronement ceremony on the second day of the first month of February on the sun of Dingtao and water. Chen Ming didn't know what the allusion was inextricably related to the old legend of the second dragon raising its head in February, anyway, the day he ascended the throne and became the emperor was set on the second day of the second month of February, which was said to be the day when the dragon raised its head.

It's not been a few days. Tens of thousands of people around Nanjing came to see the excitement, and there were countless people from all over the world. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely open Enko. This spread the news in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

The fierce civil and military quarrels in the court have also died down, and no one will make big news at this juncture. Because that's not showing off your political talents, it's showing off your big head around your neck.

The important ministers from all over the country were able to rush back to Nanjing, and they had already arrived in the capital at this time.

The whole city of Nanjing seemed to be lost in a fiery red, with soldiers with loaded guns everywhere, red lanterns and bright red flags everywhere. Sharp eyes stared at everyone, and Tanuma Yiji hadn't gone out since three days ago.

That's not enjoying life anymore, it's actively looking for sin.

Negotiations between the Tokugawa shogunate and Chen Han came to an end, and the two sides reached some consensus, such as Chen Ming saying that he would respect the rights of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, but that the title of the emperor and the name of Kyushu Island had to be changed. This is what Chen Han insisted on!

In fact, this time Tanuma Yiji led a delegation to China, and it took several months to waste it, and the only gain was that on that last issue, this point seemed to really touch Chen Han's taboo, not something that Chen Han picked a bone in the egg and pulled it up in search of some reason. During the negotiations, Chen Han even promised to support the Tokugawa shogunate as the king of Japan, and as for the emperor of Kyoto, he was determined to kill them all.

When he first heard these words, Tanuma Yoshiji's face turned red suddenly, and the uncontrollable excitement that suddenly rose in his heart made him unable to even stand up on his own, barely suppressing his external performance, and he didn't take the initiative to say a word in the next negotiation, and his brain was scattered with this news at that time.

China supported the Tokugawa shogunate as the king of Japan! The news was so exciting. Tanuma Yoshiji immediately wanted to fly back to Edo and tell Tokugawa Isaharu the news. This is not the time of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Zhu Ming was fooled into canonizing the Ashikaga shogun as the king of Japan, this is a serious person who wants to overthrow the emperor. Tanuma had to get excited.

Tanuma Yoshiji also knew that the Koreans had also come, and Enyanjun Li Hao had personally led a delegation to Nanjing not long ago.

Since the death of Trillium-kun Yi Zhen from poisoning, the whole of Korea has been in chaos, the Qing army has taken the opportunity to storm Gyeongsang-do Province by transferring troops to attack Gyeongsang-do, and it didn't take long for Li Yu to run to the island and then to Jeju Island. The Manchu Qing did not continue to attack Jeju Island, but for the whole half a year, the Koreans did not have any counteroffensive and the strength of the Qing army on the peninsula. Li Yu tried his best to clarify his involvement in Li Zhen's poisoning and death, but unfortunately he was involved too much and too deep at the beginning, and the countless suspicions and hatreds were like rolling in a sweater in a chicken feather nest, no matter how you pick it up, you can't pick it clean.

Tanuma Yoshiji doesn't care about what happens to North Korea in the end, he only cares about Li Yu's methods, first the underage younger brother, and then the newly adult Li Zhen, who killed the royal family of Lee Joseon nearly one of them, and now he doesn't even have a son, forcing China to tolerate his 'misdeeds', if such a means are ......used on the emperor, it is also very wonderful.

Today's Emperor Taoyuan is weak, his father Emperor Taoyuan is only a male man, Emperor Taoyuan was only five years old because of Hou Taoyuan, and during the term of Emperor Taoyuan, there was a treasure incident in Kyoto, even if it was a premeditated plan, he was strangled in the bud by the Tokugawa shogunate. During the time of Taoyuan, Empress Go-Sakura-cho, the aunt of Go-Taoyuan, succeeded to the throne, her father was Emperor Sakuracho, and her mother was the daughter of Seki-Hakuyoshitada, the daughter of the Nijo Fujiwara family, that is, the Seikimon-in who was known as the quasi-empress. Higo Kunimamoru's great-granddaughter can also ascend to the throne of the emperor, which is a great irony for the pure blood of Japan's so-called Amaterasu Okami.

The current situation is that if the seventeen-year-old Emperor Go-Taoyuan is 'sick', then the Japanese imperial family that has not yet given birth to an heir will be extinct.

Tian Nush Yiji really didn't want to stay in Nanjing for a quarter of an hour, but he had to wait quietly for the end of Chen Ming's enthronement ceremony.

Time came to February little by little, and on the eve of Chen Ming's enthronement ceremony, all preparations had been arranged. Chen Ming's enthronement ceremony was generally relatively simple, on the second day of February, Chen Ming first performed the ritual of sacrificing heaven and earth at the Yuanqiu altar. After the ceremony, a golden chair was set up in front of the suburban altar, facing south, and a crown dress was placed in front of the golden chair. The important ministers of the cabinet led the civil and military officials to play: "The memorial ceremony has ended, please take the throne of the emperor." ”

That's pretty much it.

Next, hundreds of officials surrounded Chen Ming and helped him sit on the golden chair, and then stepped back and arranged in order according to the rank of officials. The deacons stepped forward with the crown dress case and the treasure case, and the cabinet ministers and generals took the gowns and draped them on Chen Ming's body, and then put on the crown. Then there is the scheduling, the ministers bow first, and the musicians are responsible for playing the music. Then he knelt three times and bowed nine times to the emperor.

Back at the palace, the ceremonial officer led Chen Cong, the chief and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, to the emperor's throne, knelt down to show the wat board, and the hundred officials knelt. The treasure-bearer opened the box, took out the emperor's jade seal and handed it to the prime minister. The prime minister held the jade seal and presented the imperial treasure. Shang Baoqing took the jade seal and received it in the box. This liturgy is another step in the process. During this period, anyone who spits, coughs, laughs, or makes noise is considered disrespectful and will be severely punished. Then there is a series of cumbersome etiquette, basically that is, bowing, worshipping, worshipping, flattening, wat, bowing, three dances, kneeling on the left knee, three kowtows, long live the mountain, shouting again and again, kneeling on the right knee, out of the wat, the civil and military officials must follow this step meticulously to complete the salute, and the main etiquette is completed.

Among them, the most enjoyable thing for Chen Ming is the three dances, imagining the appearance of the 'three dances' in front of the ministers and hundreds of officials, how can he not let Chen Ming Coke.

After the ceremony, Chen Ming also had to go to the Taimiao to honor the ancestors, Chen Huigao is the emperor and the queen mother, but from Chen Hui to the three generations of ancestors are to be posthumously gifted. There are also regulations on this matter, which was not the case in the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Song Dynasty posthumously presented the four generations of ancestors, Zhu Yuanzhang also did the same, and Chen Ming followed.

The hundred officials are guided to bow down three times and bow nine times. After the end of the capital, Chen Ming was crowned queen again. At this point, the enthronement ceremony is completed.

Chen Ming has already gone through this set of etiquette drills.

ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, the major events of his life, just like the marriage of men and women in this era, are definitely only once in a lifetime. The continuation of a man's wife is not a big wedding. The gap between the original match and the steproom can be found by looking at Mrs. Xing in the Red Mansion. And even if a man dies his wife and can marry a second time, it is impossible for Chen Ming to ascend the throne a second time.

Chen Ming didn't want anything to go wrong in the middle, and after everything was decided, he let Qian Daxin, who was the etiquette officer, take him away, and then he had three points of calmness. He was a little nervous, in front of the public, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he was embarrassed to look more foreign. Moreover, the appearance of a foreign statue at the enthronement ceremony was also a blow to his own image prestige.

It's not that after going through a lot of things, you can become a floating cloud and don't care about anything. Chen Ming felt that Dongfang Hong was also nervous when he spoke on the tower of Tiananmen Gate on October 1, but this nervousness was controlled by Taizu. But Chen Ming is not Dongfanghong, his hegemony is much easier than that one.

As a mortal, although ascending the throne and becoming emperor is the best reward for Chen Ming's years of hard work, but out of his rejection of red tape and trivialities by the soul of later generations, Chen Ming really can't guarantee that he will not make a big news in this!

For example, drumming and playing music, and then the priest recites prayers, some people dance in the music, and Chen Ming has to raise wine to worship the sky; Si Zhu reads the blessing and stops. After reading the music, the emperor knelt three times or something......

Chen Ming didn't know that he was so inferior, and what he had never thought about suddenly struck at this juncture. He was so nervous!

It's really different from speaking under the national flag when I was in school. Anyway, he was really under pressure, and as soon as the details of the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens were met, he ordered someone to copy it on the fold and carry it with him. When I have free time, I take it out and take a look.

……

Quanzhou Governor's Mansion.

Li Shaomin had just arrived, and a person came over and shouted, "Master Li, the governor is in the council room." ”

Li Shaomin nodded calmly and strode into the hall. Whatever is discussed in it, there is no need for anyone to know it. Li Shaomin and Zhang Gou have been in contact with the Zheng family for more than a day or two, the Fu Han army has been strong, and the current situation is very obvious, and it is time to pave the way back.

He Li is not an unlucky guy like Chen Biao, nor is he a bad thing like Ling Liang, so he quietly came to Quanzhou a few days ago with his hidden tracks, and came to the Zheng family's lair. Because he knows that the Zheng family is now soft.

Their big dragon head monk Fu Waner has already gone to Nanjing. If this news breaks out, the entire central and southern Fujian will be in an uproar.

The signboard of Quanzhou's Governor's Mansion is also about to be taken off soon, the area of the Governor's Mansion Chamber changed from the original prefect's yamen is not large, it is the original lobby, and it is the size of two or three rooms, and it can accommodate twenty or thirty people after setting up tables and chairs, and now it is half full, and the ground is paved with green bricks, and it is Zheng Ji who sits on it.

On the left and right were a row of leaders of the Zheng family's army, and there were not many of them, only ten people. One by one, they sat solemnly. On either side of the head, one chair sat with a stern-faced dog, and the other was empty, apparently for him.

Zheng Ji still looks very young, and he looks better than when he met at Longyan Zhanggou last year, and he has a bottom in his heart. He smiled at Li Shaomin, who strode in, "Sit down." On a vacant seat on the left, Li Shaomin sat down calmly without saying a word, and then looked carefully in the hall.

Zhang Gou sat down with Zheng Ji's cousin, Zheng Cheng. Sitting on his own hand is Qu Wulong, the number one general of the Zheng family, and the other eight leaders of the Zheng family army are also old men of the Zheng family who they recognize, there are not many of these ten people, but each of them is definitely a powerful figure in the Zheng family's army.

"Everyone!" Zheng Ji's clear voice carried a faint sigh, he straightened his back, the whole person looked taller, and arched in the direction of Nanjing with both hands in fists: "Everyone should know that on February 2, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne." I have received the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and in the future, I will serve as the overseer of southern Fujian, clean up the central and southern parts of Fujian, and quell the troubles. This is the first task of the Zheng family after surrendering, and it can also be said to be a vote of fame, dyeing the crown on his head with the blood of his former companions.

Zheng Ji, Li Shaomin, Zhang Gou and others can understand it very well, but when they understand it, the three of them have to sigh. When the uprising swept through Mindi, who would have imagined that there would be today?

That's it. Why are you mentioning all of this now? When they rebelled separately, there was an agreement that they would share the blessings and the hardships. As a result, as soon as Zhao Mingde died, Ling Liang annexed Zhao Mingde's territory without morality.

"At present, our army has organized a total of three brigades of the First Division, with me concurrently serving as the commander of the Third Division of the Fujian Army, Zhang Gou as the deputy division commander and commander of the Second Brigade, and Li Shaomin as the chief of staff of the division and the commander of the Third Brigade."

This is the remuneration given by the Fu Han Army for the three forces of the Heaven and Earth Society, the establishment of three brigades, and the formation of the division level.

"Everyone knows the military system of the new dynasty. This division commander is no weaker than the admiral of the past. But you should also know that the current imperial court is thinking of a way to reorganize the army, and the civil and military generals are in trouble because of military spending. Our division, these three brigades, can still get their hands on it today, and it will be possible to fly tomorrow. If we have not solved Ling Liang and Chen Biao by the time we should go to Fujian, we will not be able to think about the position of the division commander and brigade commander. ”

"The big guy has been working hard for several years with his head up, and he is also the brother of my Zheng family for decades. There is no shortage of money in your hands, and if you are tired of military life, you don't have to fight this battle. "There is no shortage of people who want to be officials anywhere. The big battle is about to start, and promoting a few middle-level leaders to the top can be a good blow to the spirit of the Quanzhou army. "I made everything clear today, whether you want to go or not, you have all thought about it and decided for yourself."

Li Shaomin was not surprised at all that Zheng Ji said such things, and when he returned to Tingzhou, he would say the same thing to the big leaders under him.

Heaven and Earth Society has been revolting in Fujian for several years, except that it was indeed fighting and killing with the Qing army at the beginning, but when the Fu Han army swept the southern country, Heaven and Earth Society would lie down and enjoy happiness. In the past two years, not only have some bad situations been found in the Quanzhou Army, but the same situation has also occurred in the Beiting Army [Li Shaomin] and Longyan Army [Zhang Gou] teams.

First, the fighting spirit of the troops has declined, the training has disappeared, and the military discipline is scattered;

Second, there are no channels and assemblies for promotion in the army, and the morale of the army is ruined;

Third, if there is no war for a few years, many people are no longer willing to fight again. They robbed money and land before, and whether they were officials or soldiers, many people were unwilling to fight hard with their heads anymore.

Before the war is launched, it is very necessary to carry out a major reorganization of the whole army.

The leaders of the Zheng family army all went down, Zheng Ji moved to the small flower hall, only Zhang Gou and Li Shaomin were left around, none of the three of them spoke, the maid went down silently after serving the tea, and the steaming tea slowly cooled down a little bit.

"Everything will change after today. When you go back, make sure to explain the words to your brothers. There is another king's law on the top of our heads. Don't hit the knife. No one will be able to save them! ”

Zheng Ji said these words in a half-loud voice, with a little different taste, and Zhang Gou and Li Shaomin, who could empathize with it, suddenly felt sour in their hearts.

Li Shaomin looked up at Liang Zhu, "Yes, there is a royal law." Whatever you do, you have to talk about the king's law again. ”

"It's not like we're going to have the final say......" (To be continued.) )
