Chapter 19 The Ming Emperor's Throne
Zhu Cizhuo's sitting in the court today is to prepare for the enthronement ceremony on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the most important thing is to form a united cabinet, as well as the Liaodong military. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info looked at the main and auxiliary Fang Congzhe, and said: "In the future, all cabinet ministers will not take any party subordination, and they still need to publicize their assets. I want to establish people, and I want to reach people. Whether the officials of the DPRK and China can unite and overcome the difficulties together still depends on your efforts. The court must end as soon as possible, and Hachi will not wait for me to be ready before entering the army. The semi-literate identity slowly changed, and Zhu Cizhuo recited a few famous quotes that he had just seen.
The ministers muttered in their hearts, looked at Sun Chengzong, who had only been a teacher for more than half a month, in surprise, and knelt down and sang in unison: "The emperor is sage, the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Fang Congzhe's talent is limited, and he is a good man most of the time, Zhu Cizhuo hopes to be such an obedient first assistant. After everyone stood up, Fang Congzhe continued to kneel and played: "Your Majesty is newly established, the four seas are unstable, and the minister is worried that the Jianzhou slaves will take the opportunity to enter Liaodong. The minister thought that the imperial court should transfer the guards and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Jianzhou slaves as soon as possible, and if they were defeated again, the morale of the army would be lost, which would be greatly unfavorable to the future war. "Of course, the matter of transferring troops came from Zhu Cizhuo's prior instructions, otherwise he would not have brought it up in such a hurry.
Ye Xianggao was a lone minister for a few years during the Wanli period, when Wanli was sluggish, and the officials in the court could not be replenished in time, so he was busy like an old ox. Zhu Changluo was originally going to re-use him into the cabinet this time, but he didn't have time to be appointed later, and he hadn't gotten the actual position he deserved at this time.
After hearing Fang Congzhe's proposal to transfer the guards and horses, he wanted to raise objections, but the three major campaigns in the Wanli period and the later Liao salary had overwhelmed the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court could no longer afford another large-scale war. But he thought that his position as a cabinet minister had not yet been settled, and at this time he was still an unemployed official who had just entered the court for six years, so he moved his body and did not go out of class to admonish him.
Zhu Cizhuo inexplicably reincarnated several times, from 2074 to 1638 and then reincarnated in 1620, and the situation of the Ming Dynasty has greatly improved. At this time, the Battle of Sarhu ended nearly two years, and after Hachi captured Kaiyuan and Tieling into Liao, he did not occupy part of the territory east of the Liao River in Liaoning.
These territories were the territories that were lost under the blind command of Yuan Yingtai, a member of the Donglin Party, who snatched Xiong Tingbi's military power after the Han power of Donglin. Zhu Cizhuo only knew that the Donglin Party could not be allowed to override the imperial power to govern the government, but he did not know the real reason for losing the territory east of the Liao River such as Shenyang and Liaoyang.
Zhu Cizhuo's conscious "purging party" could no longer allow the Donglin party to dominate, and some of the Donglin party members who Zhu Changluo had edicted to the dynasty could no longer change its general trend of gradual decline. But party struggle has always been only concerned about the interests of small groups, no matter what the safety of your Daming society is.
The servant Ma Mengzhen is also a new Donglin Party member, at this time the Donglin Party is a clean and upright person, after listening to Fang Congzhe's proposal to transfer the guards, he went out and said: "Now the two emperors have collapsed, the national foundation is oscillating, and the imperial court has been unable to organize the guards and horses for many years. Moreover, Xiong Tingbi has been criticized in Liaodong, and it is no longer suitable to be the general of the main army. I hope Your Majesty thinks twice! ”
Zhu Cizhuo didn't know that he was from the Donglin Party, and when he saw that someone wanted to refute it, he stretched out his hand to stop him and asked: "Is this Ma Aiqing a clean and honest Donglin person?" ”
Ma Mengzhen didn't know that Zhu Cizhuo was already angry, so he proudly straightened his chest and replied: "Minister Ma Mengzhen used to be the Donglin Party, but now there is no party or party, just a direct minister loyal to the Ming Dynasty." "He spoke modestly.
"Okay, I know that Gu Xianwu's Donglin who came out of the hospital are all people who have opinions about the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Cizhuo stared at Ma Mengzhen, and suddenly reprimanded loudly, "Ma Mengzhen, do you know why the emperor's grandfather suppressed you Donglin Party members back then? ”
When Ma Mengzhen heard Zhu Youzhuo's tone change abruptly, he was still muttering about Wanli in his heart, so he straightened up and replied: "I don't know for the minister, does Your Majesty know?" ”
Zhu Cizhuo snorted and said, "When you sit in my place, it will be clear!" First, the death of the Great Song Dynasty was the disaster of party struggle, which can be learned from history; Second, the Donglin Party people were overkill, nitpicking, and excluded different parties, so that the officials and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were out of harmony, which was a great disaster for the death of our society; Third, the Donglin party people boast of being loyal and straightforward, and they are actually a political group that forms a party to seek power, once Donglin is in power, it will seize the power of the emperor, Donglin disaster and party strife intensify, and the death of the Ming Dynasty is not far away. I still have room to make up, so I persuaded him bluntly, otherwise don't blame me for killing them all when I arrive, so as to get rid of future troubles! Zhu Cizhuo is a soldier and doesn't like to play tricks, so he directly explained the reason why the Donglin Party is unavailable, and he has no time or energy to fight with the corrupt literati of this era.
As soon as the words came out, the court was shocked, and there was a burst of discussion and abuse in the Qianqing Palace, and then there was a cry. Ye Xianggao finally understood that the intelligence of this little emperor was very comparable, and he also understood what the way of the emperor was. Out of class, he knelt down and cried loudly: "Chen Ye knows the crime of Gao Xiang, everyone knows that the party fights for the country, and he thinks that he is planning for the Ming Society and the people of the world, but he is the one who harms my country and my people." Over the years, the party has been fighting between the DPRK and China, and the ministers have also been guilty, but they have never known the painstaking efforts of the first emperor, and they have read the books of these decades in vain! ”
Zhu Cizhuo saw that the quarrel below was almost over, and said quietly: "If you don't have any treasury money, let me give up the country to a foreign race?" At that time, all the ministers can still survive as slaves, but my Zhu clan will cut off their children and grandchildren! If you still remember the kindness of the Zhu clan to save the Central Plains people from fire and water two hundred and fifty years ago, I hope that we will not disturb the court again and help me avoid this disaster that annihilates our race. ”
All the ministers knelt down and responded in unison, temporarily gave up the dispute between the enemy and us, and the action of transferring troops from all sides was half a year earlier than during Zhu Youxiao's time. At this time, although the treasury was tight, it was much stronger than in the last years of Chongzhen, and the imperial court also launched a fund-raising activity, which happened after losing the territory east of the Liao River.
In the next few days, there was no impeachment and quarrel in the court meeting, and he was busy sending imperial envoys to various places to transfer troops, chasing down many meritorious officials, and rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng very plainly, and under Zhu Cizhuo's instructions, there should be no further disputes because of this.
On the sixth day of September, Zhu Cizhuo carried out the enthronement ceremony, officially put on the five-clawed dragon robe, that is, the throne of the Ming Emperor, and issued an edict to pardon the world, taking next year as the first year of the apocalypse. Zhu Cizhuo originally wanted to change the era name, but considering that Sun Moon Island had already been to the Chongzhen era, he had to postpone the change of the era name for decades.
The enthronement ceremony was very cumbersome, the whole process took nearly four hours, and Zhu Cizhuo also changed the emperor's clothes and went to worship in front of the emperor's spirit. In the last set of procedures, when he returned to the Imperial Gate to sit down with the twelve crowns, Zhu Cizhuo was the first to receive the message that King Dawei Deming was coming.
"Holy Venerable, you don't have to enter the palace, otherwise the junior brother will not be able to greet him with courtesy!" Zhu Cizhuo hurriedly sent a message to stop him, King Ming is an immortal and he is the emperor, and King Ming has a high status, so he can't explain to his courtiers.
"Brother Wei won't show up, then Zheng Shuang has exchanged flesh with Yang Yuan, he is really the courtier you asked for in the first place." King Ming told Zhu Cizhuo with a smile.
Zhu Cizhuo was startled when he heard this, wouldn't that be his own son? Hurriedly said: "Holy Venerable, you have played too much, this Qi Guangji is much older than me, and Zheng Shuang only has six years of yang life!" "It's finally an emperor, and even the oldest officials have to kneel.
"Brother has changed six years to sixty years. I also bring you a few generals, one of whom won't scare you! King Ming continued to find fun, he borrowed Yang Yuan's body to get married, Zheng Shuang's age was too young, and the woman didn't like it.
"I'm going to be scared? Who! Zhu Cizhuo was a little puzzled.
"Back then, I still wanted to make your Emperor Gaozu opposed, and he was also a dead ghost, so that he could make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty again!"
"Who the hell is it? Don't be fooled! Zhu Cizhuo was a little nervous, his identity as an immortal could not be exposed.
"I'll let you know one by one, what are you afraid of if you have a firearm?" King Ming got married, and he had a little human touch.
"How much silver is in the three stocks of Sun Moon Island? The gap between the salaries of officials in the two places is too large, so don't bring too much for the time being. ”
"These righteous brothers have been prepared, and the righteous brothers can rest assured. This Sun Moon Island was originally the territory of the righteous brother, and after it is returned to you this time, I will not care about the affairs of the island. Now I will teach your righteous brother the method of controlling the passage of Sun Moon Island, and the speed shall not exceed 900 nautical miles per year, but the method of crossing the annual rings of the year cannot be taught to you by my brother......"
"Can't you go to the end world?" Zhu Cizhuo remembered it and asked, I really want to go back to a few hundred years and steal some weapons.
"The Buddha didn't have this ability, he didn't exist in the end, so what was the use of the past? By the way, don't forget to take care of your sister-in-law then. ”
"Is my brother leaving Sun Moon Island? How to adjust the time of Sun Moon Island...... What the? You have to give up the wife you took less than two years ago! Zhu Cizhuo was a little stupid when she heard this, the woman didn't like King Ming, and she wanted to go back and continue to be her queen when she learned that her ex-husband was not dead.
"The righteous brother likes to cure her heart first, and the deity has no mortal ability in this regard! Alas, even if the deity has a physical body, it has no ability to give birth and nourishment, otherwise it may be able to ......" King Ming was a little lost, in fact, he had reached the point where he had to leave, and he could not continue to stay in the mortal world.
At the end of the ceremony, an official from the pedestrian department hurriedly came to report, saying that the ancestor of a wealthy merchant surnamed Zheng had purchased an island of more than 1,500 acres in the South China Sea that could be moved. Previously, due to the civil unrest on the island, he wanted to give the new emperor as a gift to congratulate him on his accession to the throne. This time, they came to pay tribute to the first batch of 15 civil and military officials, 60 entourage soldiers, 60 internal supervisors and maids, and a number of overseas treasures and fruits to congratulate them, so that the Ministry of Rites sent personnel to the noon gate to inspect and receive.
More than 81,200 remnants of Middle-earth on the island hope to return to the Ming Dynasty, and have built castles and palaces for the new emperor on the island, as well as a 1,500-ton imperial warship, as well as Zhengzhi University and the Sailor Business School. It has more than 100 large and small ships, including 87 naval gunboats, 6,500 officers and men of the naval division, more than 18,000 cavalry infantry and tax police, and 16,860,000 eagles and silver.
