The expected war did not happen, Wang Shouyi and Ma Gui defected, so that the Tang army entered the capital smoothly, and there was no decent resistance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMany generals were very aggrieved and missed a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, which made them extremely depressed, and smashed their fists on the cotton bales, which was not pleasant.

On the contrary, the people in Beijing cheered, and in the past days, they had not had a good time at all. Wanli used the money looted from the bank to recruit troops and expand his military strength. However, it is not so easy to train strong soldiers, coupled with the fact that the officials at the bottom are disobedient to the yin and the yin, and there is a lack of suitable officers, the people and horses have not been trained, and the whole world is full of ruffians.

All kinds of hooligans and gangsters hung up the official titles of the thousand presidents and hundred presidents of the imperial court, and they didn't look at their training, but robbed the people all day long, wandering around the streets, and robbing whatever they saw, so that women did not dare to go on the streets, and the capital was full of smoke and miasma, and it was a mess.

It's okay to say that forbearance is over, but the north-south trade stopped, and the capital was in short supply, causing prices to skyrocket. In the past, this has also happened, and the government usually sells out inventory to stabilize prices.

But this time, the royalists promoted by Wanli, they have not touched the power of the imperial court for more than ten years, and they are all like wolves, and their eyes are green, which is not polite at all. Seeing that prices were soaring, they actually hoarded and forced them to buy and sell. A piece of silk was sold at a high price of 150 yuan.

Not to mention the common people, even the rich can't afford it.

As a result, in almost two years, there are more than seventy percent fewer young people married in the capital...... This is just the tip of the iceberg of the many evil consequences caused by Wanli.

The people's dislike of the emperor had reached its limit, and they gathered around the city gates in groups to welcome the Tang army into the city, and handed in a letter of ten thousand words, demanding that Wanli be executed immediately and the tyrant be eradicated. Some people even supported Tang Yi to ascend the throne and replace him.

This is the second time that he has been persuaded to enter, and Tang Yi just laughed.

"Wanli is this virtue, the old man can't be the second in Wanli!" Ping An said.

If you are not the emperor, then the first assistant should always take it, right?

Tang Yi still shook his head, "The old man has been in the country for three terms, and in the fifteenth year of the country, many of my ideas have been completed, as long as they recover." As for the future situation of the DPRK, it is still up to the Constituent Assembly to decide. Now, I can reluctantly do it for a period of time. ”

……

Tang Yi did not shirk, but took the initiative to undertake the task.

The first task at the moment is to restore order in the capital, to get rid of those rebels as soon as possible, and at the same time to restore the operation of the imperial court. In particular, it is necessary to restore the various ministries that have been abolished, and select suitable personnel to take over them, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the imperial court.

The matter of dealing with the rebels was handed over to Tan Lun, and as for restoring order, it was Shen Shixing and others who were responsible.

Tang Yi is responsible for something more difficult, that is, how to deal with Wanli.

"Kill!"

This is Xu Fatzi's opinion, "Wanli is perverse, brutal and unkind, and troubles the world, there is really no possibility of connivance, he must be killed, and the canonical punishment must be revealed to the world and wake up the world." The emperor is no longer sacred, and he has to bear the consequences for harming the people. ”

"Then what should I do in the future, do you want the emperor?" Lu Guangzu asked in a deep voice: "Don't want the emperor, who is the lord of the world, want the emperor, and do you want to choose from the Zhu family?" ”

These questions are sharp enough, Xu Wei was also silent for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I don't think I want the emperor to forget it, so as not to waste national strength again and again." As for who is the lord of the world? I believe that the people are the lords of the world, and everything is for the benefit of the people, and I believe that no one wants to be cheap and find a master for themselves. ”

Wang Shimao also said: "Since there is no emperor, there is no way to talk about the auxiliary ministers, I think the idea of doing it is very good, it is better to change the name of the scholar to the ruling in the future, responsible for governing the country." ”

"Agreed, I agreed!" Lu Guangzu and Tao Dalin agreed.

However, the old man of the Great Ribbon was serious, he frowned, and said slowly: "Everyone, I don't think it's that simple, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, after the Longqing New Deal, have become accustomed to the cabinet in charge, and abolishing the emperor may not be a big problem." But don't forget, there are still some remnants of Tusi in the southwest and other places, and there are still many tribes on the grassland, as for the South Seas, India, and even the wider land, we all adopt the rule of bondage, where the natives are all courtiers of the Ming Emperor in the name of the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister has been determined early, if there is no emperor, what is the relationship between us and these countries and tribes? Should the tributary system be maintained? In what name will you rule over the land? ”

"Build a province!"

Xu Fatzi said unceremoniously: "Daming only has thirteen provinces at the moment, and it is nothing to add dozens more!" ”

"No way!"

This time, it was Lu Guangzu's turn to refute, whether he had been in charge of the election for many years and knew how difficult it was to appoint officials.

"Brother Wen, the fastest horse at the moment, from south to north, also takes more than a month, and it is even more difficult for ships at sea to send letters, and it is normal to travel back and forth for a year and a half. If there is an emergency, the imperial court simply has no time to react. If nothing else, this was the case with Spain, their governors had to obey the orders of the king of Spain, and they could not use troops without permission, and it would take a year or two to come and go. So after we captured Luzon, they reacted so slowly, and it also gave the imperial court the opportunity to pass through the South Seas. If we repeat the mistake of the past and set up a wide range of provinces, then the structure will be bloated and inefficient, and the number of officials will be large, the good and the bad will be uneven, and there will be no way to supervise them, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"What then? Do you still have to keep an emperor? Xu Wei's eyes widened, unconvinced.

If the provincial system can't be played, the original tributary system must be maintained, and the tributary requires the existence of the emperor. You can't be a king overseas, and the Ming Dynasty is the ruler, right? As for the abolition of emperors and kings overseas, the big guys have never thought about it, and those small countries should let them continue to lag behind!

"In this way, the emperor's throne can be retained, but some adjustments must be made!" Tang Yi said: "We changed the name of the country. ”

"What?"

Everyone was stunned, "Okay, you want to abolish the name of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"That's right, the family and the country!" Tang Yi said with a smile: "The Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties all used the country to serve the world, so the country name was used instead of the world." I don't think it was necessary to be so troublesome, since ancient times, we have been China's self-proclaimed, with Huaxia as the name, it is better to use the word Zhonghua, which is more appropriate and reasonable. ”

"Wonderful!"

Xu Wei's eyes widened and the boss applauded happily, and several other people also tasted the mystery of Tang Yi's method one after another.

The abolition of the Ming Dynasty and the transfer of China to China are tantamount to cutting off the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, even if the monarch is still retained, it is completely different from the Zhu Ming royal family, and there is no need to worry about the restoration of the royalists.

And changing the title, it is equivalent to re-establishing a country, the ancestral system left by Zhu Yuanzhang can no longer be restrained, they can completely design a new system according to their own ideals, and seek peace for all generations, in one fell swoop!

The big guys are not young anymore, but in the face of such a feat, they are still covered in their bodies, and their blood is boiling. All of a sudden, he was more than a dozen years younger, and everyone was full of energy.

After more than two months of busyness, a new set of bureaucratic systems was finally designed.

The name of the country was changed to China, the Wanli era was abolished, and the Yellow Emperor era was replaced.

The title of auxiliary minister was abolished, and the titles of prime minister, deputy minister, and group minister were replaced by the title of prime minister.

In the ministries under the cabinet, the original official positions such as Shangshu Shirou were also abolished and renamed ministers and deputy ministers.

Locally, the governor is the governor and the governor is the commander of the theater.

Abolish grades, loose ranks, honorific titles, honorific titles, etc.

Abolish the hereditary honors, remove the titles of British Duke, Dingguo Duke, Wei Guogong, Chengguo Duke, Qianguo Duke, etc., all personnel are demoted to commoners, and the British Duke and Dingguo Gong participate in the royalist rebellion and hand them over to the judges.

……

Restoring order and cleaning up the garbage are almost done, and Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, as the last remaining item of the old era, should also accept the final fate.

On the last day of the twelfth year of Wanli, the capital was gray, the sky was drifting with scattered snowflakes, and the cold wind of minus 20 degrees Celsius blew through any defense, arrogantly taking away the pitiful heat on the body.

Everyone was trembling, but they were reluctant to leave, and everyone tried to narrow their eyes, reluctant to blink.

The bones were ringing, the wheels were rattling, and from the wide road, came the troika, and around the carriage were soldiers who were ready to fight, and they were armed with guns, protecting the carriage for fear of any accident.

The car was filled with Zhu Yijun, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking back on the twelve years of imperial career, it seems like a strange dream, before he became the emperor, his life was happy, as the eldest son of Longqing, after his father ascended the throne, he became the crown prince, enjoyed countless glory, was the master of destiny, was the future heir of the empire, it was a carefree time.

All the changes occurred after the death of Longqing, and the queen mother, Li, in order to seize power, hurriedly launched a war against the powerful civilian clique and was killed by Tang Yi. Ten years later, he actually followed the old path of his mother again, but the end was even more miserable!

Zhu Mingjiangshan, the ancestor of Sheji, was lost in his own hands.

Wanli In these days, the person he misses the most is his father Longqing.

Longqing, who seems to be weak and incompetent, can easily control the huge civil and official system, even if it is Tang Yi and Gao Gong, he has to bow his head to his ears. The people of the world are grateful for the kindness of their father, and the barbarians from all directions are attached, the world is safe, and the imperial power is stable.

In the past, he always looked down on Longqing and thought that it was the waste of his father's rice bucket, but at this moment he finally understood that Longqing, as the emperor, is a master who really knows how to rule by doing nothing, and he is good for all things without fighting, just like flowing water, everywhere and invincible......

"Father, the child is wrong, the child should not listen to the instigation of women and villains, and ruin the Ming Dynasty in vain!"

Wanli wept bitterly and was full of remorse, before he was executed, he had only one request, that is, he hoped to use bullets to smash his face, and when he got underground, he didn't have to face Longqing......

The executing soldier wanted to tell Wanli that there is no hell in the world, and no one will settle accounts with you when you die...... However, he still held back, and during the execution, he raised the muzzle of the gun by an inch, Wanli's head was shattered, and blood splattered three zhang, and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty ended his life in such a tragic way...... (To be continued.) )
