readx; After the funeral ceremony of Xizong, the 27-day mourning period ended, and the imperial court resumed normal operation. Although this year is still called the "sixth year of the Apocalypse" according to the convention, the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has officially stepped onto the stage www.biquge.info of history, and the Ming Empire has begun a new era.

In the early morning of the next day, a solemn and simple ceremony was held in the Forbidden City for the canonization of the empress and concubine. Originally, according to the rules, there should be a grand ceremony, first go to the Taimiao Temple to pay tribute to the emperor, and then gather thousands of officials in Beijing to attend the ceremony. But Zhu Youzhen is not willing to spend any more money to rectify the virtual scene, he has no choice at Xizong's funeral, and Rui'er and Bao Yulian are his closest people, and they can understand his thoughts best, so they don't care about the specifications of the ceremony.

So the ceremony became held together before the official early dynasty, presided over by the British public Zhang Weixian, the queen mother Zhang Yan personally sent the queen's gold book to Rui'er's hands, Rui'er knelt and bowed, and saluted Zhu Youzhen, and the ministers shouted "Long live my emperor, long live the queen's mother". Bao Yulian was also named Concubine De, which is considered a ceremony. Concubine Qi Meifeng was still on her way to Jingshi, because she was pregnant, Zhu Youzhen deliberately let the car drive slowly, so her canonization ceremony could only be postponed.

Originally, according to Rui'er's suggestion, Li Chongyao and Li Zhenyan, who were in the dark soul, should also be canonized together, so that they could have an official title and enjoy the glory after their deaths. Zhu Youzhen also agreed at the beginning, and even thought about the nickname, Li Chongyao was named "Chonglie Emperor Concubine", and Li Zhenyan was named "Zhenmin Emperor Concubine".

But when it came to the end, Zhu Youzhen changed his mind again, silently put the golden book in a small box with tears and put it away, and sighed: "I still don't want to believe that they are dead." On the day I die, I will be canonized by this nickname..."

Immediately after the canonization ceremony, the early dynasty began. This day is also the day that Zhu Youzhen has already set for the trial of the eunuch rebel in Tianqiao, and the new Shangshu Su Maoxiang of the Criminal Department, who was in charge of the trial of the three law divisions, Cao Sicheng, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Pan Shiliang, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, were busy submitting the file for Zhu Youzhen to see.

Zhu Youzhen took a cursory look and saw that the entire interrogation process avoided the serious, and did not use the punishment, but it seemed that the presiding judge had colluded with the criminal and made a confession in an attempt to get away with it. smiled coldly at the moment, and didn't say much, only said that he would go to the overpass in the afternoon to try in person, and if there was anything to say, he would say it at that time.

At this time, due to Huang Liji's resignation, most officials, including the other three cabinet members, knew that major personnel changes were about to take place in the DPRK and China, and they had no intention of doing anything at this time, so there was no report. Although Zhu Youzhen hated these officials who only knew how to compete for power, he had to endure it for the time being. Just about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, Zhang Weixian went out and said: "Your Majesty, the dog Zhang Zhiji is mediocre, and he was the commander of the soldiers and horses in Beicheng before, and he was overwhelmed by the big responsibility, and the palace was forbidden to dust. The minister asks His Majesty to remove him from his post! ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned at first, thinking that this British father and son were great heroes in protecting the rebellion, and before they had time to be rewarded, why did they take the initiative to resign?

But when I thought about it, it suddenly dawned on me. Because since the Qin soldiers entered Beijing, the three battalions with the largest number of troops have been controlled by Xie Sheng, Li Dingguo, and Hao Yongzhong respectively; The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the Beijing Division is nominally in charge of the national abbot Zhou Kui, but the actual control is in the hands of Li Laiheng; In the imperial city, Yan Ling was in charge of the four guards in the palace. In this way, Zhu Youzhen has firmly controlled the situation, and from his point of view, there is no need for a lord like Zhang Weixian to be in charge of the army. On the contrary, if Zhang Weixian holds military power, it will still be a potential threat to Zhu Youzhen.

And the Duke of England, it can be said that since Zhang Fu, this family has enough political wisdom, otherwise it would not have continued to the present. At this time, Zhang Weixian took the initiative to ask Zhu Youzhen to remove Zhang Zhiji from his position, with only one purpose, that is, to show that he had no dissenting intentions and only wanted to enjoy the glory in peace.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen also thinks so. Although the British Duke made a great contribution to this rebellion, the Duke of the Four Kingdoms can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses with only one iron card, and Zhang Zhiji is in charge of the extremely important Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, which cannot but be said to be a hidden danger. Although Zhang Weixian is loyal, how do you know that his descendants will not have delusions? As an emperor, you have to be foolproof, and you can only give up your personal feelings for this. This is probably the so-called "imperial mind"!

Now that Zhang Weixian took the initiative, Zhu Youzhen also got off the donkey, first encouraged the old man, and rewarded Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji with 50,000 taels of silver each, and also issued an edict to officially establish Zhang Zhiji as a British prince. Of course, the most important one is to allow Zhang Weixian to play, and all Zhang Zhiji's military power will be placed under the control of Li Laiheng.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Youzhen first went back to the harem to see if the Queen Mother, Rui'er and Bao Yulian had changed their new residences and whether they were unsuitable. In addition, arrangements should also be made for the Red Lady and Herzhe, because the four sisters of Meilan Zhuju were palace maids when they were the kings of letters, and it is logical that they continue to live in the palace now; These two are both from the people, and they naturally have to have an explanation when they stay by their side, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the ministers and the people of the world.

Now Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to the two of them, because in this rebellion against King Qin, the flying pigeon biography played a very important, even decisive role. In order to ensure the safety of the two of them, and let them continue to "scientific research" with peace of mind, and improve the reliability and safety of the flying pigeon transmission, Zhu Youzhen let them live in Shufangzhai behind Kunning Palace and on the west side of the imperial garden, and they can enter and exit the palace gate at will, and the entire imperial garden is also allocated for them to raise pigeons.

As for the names of the two, Zhu Youzhen originally wanted to make them officials. But in this era, except for a very few exceptions like Qi Meifeng, women are absolutely not qualified to become officials. Of course, Zhu Youzhen wanted to change this rule, but he also knew that the matter was serious, which was tantamount to launching a comprehensive challenge to feudal etiquette. Now that he has just become an emperor, his grasp of the overall situation is not stable enough, and there are not enough capable people, so he can only deal with urgent matters first, and major reforms like this can only be put on hold for the time being.

Therefore, he can only take a temporary measure to let the Red Lady and Herzhe nominally be the palace maids of the queen Rui'er, so that they can live in the palace in the name of justice. Zhu Youjian arrived at Shufangzhai, and saw that the second daughter was busy cleaning up the room, cleaning, and arranging the pigeon cage in the courtyard, and was very busy, so he couldn't help but smile: "How about it, I arranged a good place for you to live!" ”

Herzhe pursed his lips and said, "Of course, the palace is very magnificent, but Herzhe still prefers his hometown. There are mountains full of dense forests, rivers full of fish, and the sea that is so blue that you can't see the eye can see! After being away for so long, I don't know how my father and aunt are doing now, whether the army in Jianzhou is going to burn houses and steal things again..."

Speaking of this, Herzhe, who has always been stubborn, also had a thin layer of tears in his eyes.

Her two sentences suddenly pulled Zhu Youzhen's thoughts to Liaodong. Yes, ascending the throne as emperor and overthrowing Wei Zhongxian is only the first step in the long march of thousands of miles, and the truly ferocious enemy is still eyeing the gates!
