Chapter 485: A New Era

Zhang Jue rushed to the aid of Zhang Binghui, and the goal of striking at Prince Hedan was not achieved, and he did not know what method Hedan used, and soon learned that the army of Zhengnan was completely annihilated and the commander Ashu committed suicide, so he quickly withdrew from the battlefield without hesitation, even at a certain price.

Hedan evacuated very quickly, gave up Juzhou, and evacuated directly to Jinan Mansion, and when the army led by Zhang Jue arrived, what was left was an empty battlefield.

Wu Shaogang's order was also issued almost at the same time, not to continue the pursuit of Hedan and the army under his command.

After such a big battle, the Ming army needs a period of rest, and more importantly, the Ming army needs to stabilize the south as quickly as possible.

The south was originally a rich land, after the war, it has become dilapidated, after all, it is the people who suffer, these places soon belong to the Ming Wangfu Command, if the decline continues, it is Wu Shaogang and his officials who suffer.

Wu Shaogang's decision to personally conquer the south was resolutely stopped by Zhang Wenqian.

Zhang Wenqian's reasons are very sufficient, Wu Shaogang must return to Kaifeng Fucheng, this time is a critical moment, there are many big things that need to be implemented, as for pacifying the battle in the south, Cai Siwei and others are enough to deal with it.

Wu Shaogang accepted Zhang Wenqian's persuasion, he knew very well that the arrival of the people of the Song Dynasty royal family in Kaifeng Mansion would inevitably cause a lot of discussions, at this time, he, the Ming King, would not return to Kaifeng Mansion City, which would indeed cause some bad speculation, and Li Tingzhi, who presided over Kaifeng Mansion affairs and overall affairs, was also difficult to deal with.

On the fifth day of December in the tenth year of Xianchun, Wu Shaogang returned to Kaifeng Fucheng.

When Wu Shao just appeared in front of everyone, Li Tingzhi took the lead in kneeling down and bowing, and everyone also knelt down, even the people who watched the excitement from a distance also knelt down.

This is the momentum created by Li Tingzhi to determine Wu Shaogang's status, but it is even more popular among the people, if Wu Shaogang does not have such a high prestige, it is impossible for the people around him to kneel.

In the place governed by Wu Shaogang, the common people are at least peaceful, they can live a life, and they will not freeze and starve to death, and the government cares about the people and cares about the people's suffering.

Back at the Ming Palace, Wu Shao didn't have time to rest, and Li Tingzhi played on behalf of everyone.

There are two things mentioned above, the first thing is to implore Wu Shaogang to take the throne of the emperor and go to the palace, and the second thing is to determine the new era, the Great Song Dynasty has perished, and it is obviously inappropriate to continue to use the era of Xianchun, and of course it is not possible to use the era of the Great Yuan court.

These two things are urgent matters, and they cannot be delayed.

Wu Shaogang is also very clear that the Great Song Dynasty has perished, the Ming army has won a major victory in the battle of Shandong, the real foothold, and then the battle between the Ming army and the Mongolian army for the world is about to begin, at this time, he Wu Shaogang must be the emperor, so that the Ming army is justified, but also many soldiers can devote themselves to the battle with more high morale.

On the seventh day of December, the Ming Palace, the wing.

The left and right prime ministers, the imperial historians, and the six Shangshu were all gathered in the wings, and the Hanlin Yuan sacrificial wine and Kaifeng Mansion Yin also participated in the discussion.

This can be considered a small pilgrimage.

The matter to be discussed is the matter proposed by Prime Minister Li Tingzhi of Zuo.

The country name does not need to be discussed, it is Ming, that is to say, the next Ming Dynasty will be born, and the Great Yuan Dynasty will begin to fight against each other and compete for the world, and the key thing that needs to be discussed is the era of the next year.

In fact, Li Tingzhi has put forward the name of an era, that is, Ling Yuan, the meaning of this era name is very clear, Wu Shaogang word Cangling, take out the word Ling from it, the newly born Ming Dynasty, is based on Wu Shaogang as the origin, thousands of years of inheritance, this era name, the ultimate meaning, is to praise Wu Shaogang's personal merits and ability, to the maximum extent to promote Wu Shaogang's wisdom, is able to undertake the important task of governing the world.

Ling Yuan's era name, Li Tingzhi and Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong and others have carefully discussed it many times, and the big guys all agreed, and Zhang Wenqian, who had just returned to Kaifeng Fucheng, also completely agreed with this era name.

Therefore, this so-called small court meeting, in fact, the main task is one, so that Wu Shaogang will be the emperor.

Emperors throughout the ages, no matter how they ascended the throne, had to resign, and it took many civil and military ministers to plead repeatedly before they could barely ascend the throne, although the emperor himself was 10,000 willing to ascend the throne in his heart, but on the surface, he also had to do enough to resign.

Therefore, Li Tingzhi and others have done enough work, and today they must let His Royal Highness King Ming take the throne of the emperor, if His Royal Highness does not agree, everyone will be spent in the wing.

Wu Shaogang entered the wing.

Before he could speak, Li Tingzhi took the lead in standing up, stroked his shirt slightly, and knelt down respectfully, and the rest of the people did the same, kneeling down with Li Tingzhi.

"Your Highness..."

Wu Shaogang was stunned for a moment, and immediately spoke.

"You don't have to be so polite, father-in-law, get up quickly, I'm not used to it."

Li Tingzhi didn't get up, but fell to the ground and spoke.

"The minister led everyone today, begging His Royal Highness to be the emperor, to enter the palace, the so-called original source, the Great Song Dynasty has perished, there is no master in the world, His Royal Highness is the master that everyone is looking forward to, if he can't take the emperor's throne as soon as possible, it will definitely make many civil and military ministers at a loss, and it will cause the wrath of God, the minister does not want to see the appearance of such a situation, and beg His Royal Highness to be the emperor."

Many civil and military ministers also spoke, begging Wu Shaogang to take the throne of the emperor.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone, and didn't know how to speak for a while, as a person who crossed over, he was able to readily agree to everyone's requests, but after so many years, he had seen and known many things, so he had to pretend and excuse himself.

"This, your wishes, I am clear, there are still many things to deal with at the moment, this time is the emperor's throne, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, let's wait and see."

Wu Shaogang's resignation is like acting, but this is also a last resort.

Of course, Li Tingzhi and the others would not get up, and continued to plead with Wu Shaogang to take the throne.

After such repeated shirks, Wu Shaogang finally had nothing to say.

"Since you Aiqing have such an idea, then I will not shirk it, but after I succeed to the throne, I still hope that all Aiqing will work together with me to create my Ming Dynasty forever."

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live...

On the seventh day of December in the tenth year of Xianchun, Wu Shaogang officially assumed the throne of the emperor, with the country name of Daming, the era of Lingyuan, and announced to the world.

The ceremony of Wu Shaogang's accession to the throne will be carried out on January 1 of the first year of Lingyuan, which was specially arranged by Li Tingzhi, but many civil and military ministers have suffered, and on the first day of the first lunar month, they will participate in the grand early dynasty to welcome the emperor's accession to the throne.

Before this, many things need to be busy, including the canonization of the queen, concubines and concubines, etc., this matter is not very difficult, Li Hanwei was naturally canonized as the queen, Akecha, Qingniang, Yuhuan and Luzhu and others, were canonized as concubines and concubines, the most delicate matter is the canonization of the prince and the prince.

As the eldest son, Wu Ruikun will definitely be canonized as the crown prince, and the rest are princes and princesses, and if they reach a certain age, they will be canonized as princes.

In this era, whether to canonize the crown prince is regarded as a typical sign of whether the country is stable, and Wu Shaogang's situation is even more special, after all, the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family have settled in Kaifeng Fucheng, that is, settled in the capital, if Wu Shaogang ascended the throne, he could not directly canonize the prince, it would give some people strange ideas, and it would also lead to some strange things.

When the country's foundation is stable, there is no need to worry about so many things.

Therefore, Wu Shaogang did not hesitate at all, and approved Wu Ruikun as the crown prince.

In this way, when the ceremony of Wu Shaogang's ascension to the throne of the emperor is over, Wu Ruikun will also be the crown prince.

Li Tingzhi, who was a glorious one, began to be busy without touching the ground, he was the ruler of the country, and he was the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he could almost decide the big and small matters in the court, so all the matters asked for instructions were concentrated on him.

Comparatively speaking, Wu Shaogang seems to be detached, his main attention is still in the south, Cai Siwei and Zhang Jue and others led the army, is in the south of the expedition, good news continues to come, Lianghuai, Jingxi Road, Jinghu Road and other places, smoothly captured, the Mongolian army stationed in these places, has long become a headless fly, the southern army was completely wiped out by the Ming army, the news of the death of the marshal Ashu reached these places, the garrison Mongolian army knew their end, so when the Ming army attacked, they completely gave up resistance, Open the gates and surrender.

Comparatively speaking, the situation in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Liangguang was slightly more complicated, and some of the pacification envoys and envoys in these places, as well as the prefects, prefectures, and counties, still wanted to be loyal to the Song court.

Wu Shaogang's holy decree is also simple, for those who are willing to submit to the officials of the original Great Song court, they can be placed on the spot and continue to manage local affairs, but the chief official is sent by the court, and those officials who are unwilling to belong to him will be dismissed.

Wu Shaogang, who is already on the throne of the emperor, will not be as soft as before, he is already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is full of words, and there is no need to be too accommodating to those who are unwilling to belong.
