Chapter 462: Reigning in the World
Outside the Yongding Gate, the yellow robe was added, and the three armies stood up.
But although Liu Jun has been dressed in a yellow robe, and the soldiers have also bowed to the mountain and shouted long live, Liu Jun cannot be regarded as a son of heaven. As an emperor, he is not so hasty. However, Liu Jun has accepted the kneeling and worship of the soldiers, and he can no longer regret it.
Liu Jun led the army from Yongding Gate into Beijing.
His war horse was followed by six people, Liu Qiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Yunsheng, the commander of the Jiumen, Fu Shan, the chief of the general staff of the Privy Council, Liu Yunzhen, the captain of the guard, Luo Ping'an, the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and Wang Zhixin, the commander of the Dongchang Commander.
These six people are also the masterminds in this turmoil in Beijing.
At the same time, these six people basically control all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the Beijing Division, including the guards of the pro-army, the Praetorian Guard, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Jinyi Guard, and the Dongchang.
It is precisely because he controls the strength of the soldiers and horses in all aspects of the Jingshi that things will go so smoothly this time. When all the troops and horses of the Beijing division were united, Wu Fu and them could only be tragic.
And now when they welcome Liu Jun who returned to Beijing from Tongzhou, embrace him as the emperor, and welcome him into Beijing, it is also extremely smooth.
"At present, it is imperative to maintain the stability of the capital, and never allow the slightest bit to get out of control, and anyone dares to take advantage of the fire to rob, gather people to cause chaos, and suppress and calm down as soon as possible. Also, from now on, Jingshi will be under martial law immediately. ”
Liu Yunzhen said on the side, "I propose to transfer the guards to garrison outside the city, and transfer troops from the Praetorian Guard to replace the guards of the imperial city and the palace city. ”
Liu Jun thought about it and nodded to him. Most of the guards were selected from the Chu army, but many of them were the original Beijing army, and even many of the officers and generals were the sons of nobles, and they often came into contact with the people in the palace, so they had to be wary of one or two.
"Protect the palace, protect the queen mother, etc., and don't allow any harassment in the palace."
Yoo Yoon-jung said yes.
The Chu army has always had strict military discipline, and at this time Liu Jun was established as the emperor and the soldiers entered the Beijing division. But in fact, they were all the original troops stationed in Beijing, and Liu Jun only brought back 1,000 of his own guards from Tongzhou.
Liu Jun asked the generals to restrain their subordinates, maintain military discipline, and maintain stability in Beijing. The soldiers also did it, and after Liu Jun entered the city, martial law began in Beijing, but there was no riot.
Groups of Praetorian Guards, and teams of patrols of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, they guarded the city gates and went to the city to patrol. This earth-shattering change was announced everywhere, and announcements were posted everywhere.
Many of the people in Beijing have already stayed at home, and yesterday we saw a large number of soldiers passing by on the streets. Later, news came that the emperor had died. Then there was news that the emperor was on his deathbed and named the king of the county as the king of Han, and appointed him as the only minister who took care of his life, and assisted the third brother of the emperor to succeed to the throne.
But in less than half a day, there was news that the first assistant Wu Fu and the military department Shangshu were plotting rebellion and chaos.
What's even more shocking is that they actually colluded with the inner servants to poison the two kings of Yongding, and then prepared to support King Fu to succeed to the throne. There are even rumors. In fact, Wu Fu and others had long colluded with Wu Sangui and others to secretly descend the Qing Dynasty, otherwise how could they have begged for the rebellious Wu Sangui to seek peace and security.
In short, things are happening too fast. Fast people are dazzled.
Most of the people didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know whether the rumors outside were true or false, and they saw soldiers passing by, and when they heard about martial law, they all huddled in their homes. Some of the cowardly even hid in the cellar with their whole family, for fear of being disturbed by the soldiers.
At this time, I heard an announcement from the outside, saying that the soldiers supported the succession of King Han, the brother of Emperor Longwu, the son of Emperor Chongzhen. Everyone was surprised, but they looked back and thought it was normal.
What surprised me was that although King Han was the respect of the prince, after all, he was only the righteous son of Emperor Chongzhen, even if the name was entered into the clan genealogy, but after all, he was not a real descendant of the Zhu family.
However, the King of Han holds half of the soldiers and horses in the world, especially the soldiers of Gyeonggi, and now all the old troops of the King of Han, it is not surprising that the soldiers support him as emperor.
After Liu Jun entered Beijing, he was not in a hurry to enter the palace, but first went to the Zhili Governor's Mansion in Deshengmen.
So far, Liu Jun has not met any rebels.
The defense force of Gyeonggi was already controlled by Liu Jun, and the people who commanded all the departments were his henchmen, and even the heart of the king of Dongchang had actually fallen to Liu Jun a long time ago.
However, a group of non-Chu party ministers such as Wu Fu, Chen Xinjia and Ni Yuanlu were suppressed by lightning in the previous anti-party turmoil.
Even those relatives in Beijing were basically invited into the prisons of Jinyiwei and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the rest of the people who couldn't reach the key care were basically either standing at the gates of each house, or the patrol of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, or the fans of the East Factory.
When Liu Jun entered the governor's yamen, it was already dark.
The officials above the third grade of the Beijing division were all invited.
As soon as Liu Jun saw them, he sighed and said, "I am a martial artist from Chu Di, and I am the Emperor of Weizong, and I am extremely gifted. I am deeply favored by Jun and trusted by Emperor Weizong and Emperor Daxing, but now the soldiers want to support me, and I really have no shame on heaven and earth. ”
Shi Bangyao, the right deputy capital, was one of the few important officials of the imperial court who was neither a member of the Chu Party nor imprisoned. When he heard Liu Jun say this, he quickly stood up, and just wanted to persuade Liu Jun to support another clan to enter Beijing and succeed him.
Liu Yunsheng, the captain of the guard, suddenly drew his sword in his hand.
He glanced at Shi Bangyao and shouted, "King Han is the son of Weizong, the brother of Emperor Daxing, and now that the emperor has no successor, everyone unanimously agreed to support King Han as the Son of Heaven. ”
Shi Bangyao is just an old official, and it was because he was too old that Wu Fu didn't pull him in the previous discussion, and he escaped as a result. Now when he saw Liu Yunzhen so aggressive, the little thought of loyalty to Daming in his heart immediately disappeared, his frightened face was like earth, and he hurriedly fell to the ground, for fear that Liu Yunzhen would really cut him with a sword.
With the lessons of Wu Fu and Chen Xinjia, Shi Bangyao was really afraid.
Many officials on the spot bowed one after another, and these guys usually fought more and more powerfully, but in the past two years, with Liu Jun's entry into the government, they also clearly realized Liu Jun's power. They have long dared not fight against Liu Jun, who holds a lot of power, and now Liu Jun finally can't help usurping the throne, although they had expected this day, but after this day came, no one jumped out to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
They all know that the overall situation has been decided, and if they want to change this fact, they will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of Wu Fu and Chen Xinjia.
There is only one life, and you can't be resurrected when you die. The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. Everyone is a smart person, and they are all people who know the times, otherwise they would not be able to sit in their current position.
For a while, a large number of people knelt down in the official hall, and they were all anxious to kneel down to pay homage to the new master, shouting long live at Liu Jun.
Liu Jun helped Shi Bangyao up, and asked the others to get up, and soothed them with kind words.
Shi Bangyao asked how to deal with the clans in the palace and all over the world?
"Please ask the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and other concubines to move to the West Palace, and after the King of Han officially succeeds to the throne, the vassal kings of the clans in all parts of the world will not be held accountable as long as they respect the new dynasty." Liu Qiao replied instead of Liu Jun.
Liu Jun also added at this time. "Empress Dowager Zhou is my mother, Empress Dowager Zhang is my imperial aunt, and the rest of the concubines are also my relatives. I will always serve them as courtesy, and I will never break my word, and I promise that no one will violate them. ”
There are a lot of hard bones in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of hard bones in Donglin and Fushe, but that is in the past. Now the only bit of hard bones left in the DPRK and China are still mostly imprisoned in prisons. He was charged with treason.
"For the officials in Beijing and all over the country, they will continue to be retained, as long as everyone does a good job for the imperial court, they will never be treated badly."
Shi Bangyao is just a weak old civil official. There is no power to tie the chicken, what can you do at this time. The knife was almost on his neck, and after all, he had to tremble to show his loyalty and willingness to serve. In the end, he simply took the initiative to ask Ying, expressing his willingness to come forward to Zhang Luo's succession ceremony and prepare the succession edict.
Shi Bangyao can't be bold. But the writing is still good, and he wrote the edict directly in the hall.
"The destiny of heaven returns, and the prince succeeds to the throne. There is Zhu Ciye, the king of the Han Dynasty, who has the posture of heaven and longitude, has the appearance of divine martial arts, assists Weizong, fights in the south and the north, and seeks in the east and west, and makes great contributions. Benevolence and virtue return to heaven and earth, and the world has returned to the heart. should be shunren, and Zhu Ciye succeeded to the throne. ”
Liu Jun was very satisfied with this edict of succession, although it was very short, he did not need to be too complicated, so it was enough. However, he proposed to change one place, change Zhu Ciye to Liu Jun, and restore his real name.
"Very good, use this letter for the enthronement edict, there is a lot of work to do."
The army supported Liu Jun as the Son of Heaven, and the matter of adding a yellow robe outside the Anding Gate has spread throughout the Beijing Division.
Zhao Yusen, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Qi, the director of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Sunhui, the director of the Ministry of Rites, heard that Liu Qiao had killed Wu Fu during the day, and they also shouted that the Ming Dynasty was going to die and Liu Jun was going to usurp the world.
But when Liu Jun really entered Beijing, and then soon announced that the original officials of the imperial court and local governments would continue to be retained, he immediately stopped shouting that he was going to be martyred. In particular, he inquired that as long as the original Jiangbei party members like him knew that they could change their mistakes, no longer obsessed with their obsessions, and were willing to work hard for the imperial court, then they would not blame the past, and their determination was shaken.
The three of them are all from Wuxi, and they are all Jiangbei Party members, and they originally thought that once Wu Fu died and Liu Jun usurped the throne, then they would definitely be purged, so they were also ready to commit suicide without being humiliated.
But when she got the news that she was not guilty of the past, Wang Sunhui suddenly felt that the crying of her family was upsetting.
"Don't cry, I'm not dead yet." After drinking, he said to his wife, "Don't cry, you don't have to die." ”
After speaking, Wang Sunhui walked back to the study, and after a while, he asked his subordinates to fetch two bamboo poles, picked out a yellow cloth, and wrote "Long live the Emperor of the Han Dynasty," and hung it on the door.
When writing this piece, Wang Sunhui also hesitated for a while, not that he couldn't pull his face and was unwilling to sing praises for Liu Jun, but he didn't know whether to write about the Ming Emperor or the Han Emperor or the Great Chu Emperor.
In the end, he thought about it, Liu Jun is not a descendant of the Zhu family, and he will definitely not use the name of the Ming Dynasty after becoming the emperor. The new country name may use Chu, after all, Liu Jun's soldiers are Chu army, and he also has a Chu party in the court. However, Liu Jun is now the king of Han, according to the convention, generally the Son of Heaven will use the previous title, Liu Jun is the king of Han, and his surname is Liu, and it is more likely to use Han as the country name after ascending the throne, and finally he wrote the seven words long live the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Early the next morning, that is, the day after Emperor Longwu died, on the fifth day of the fourth month, Wang Sunhui washed up and dressed up early in the morning, and hurried to bow to the new master to express his willingness to serve the new dynasty.
Wang Sunhui also brought fellow villagers Zhao Yusen, Zhang Qi, Qin Xing and others with him.
Early in the morning of the fifth day of the first month of April, hundreds of officials entered the court and were separated.
Later, Liu Jun calmly ascended the hall surrounded by Liu Qiao, Fu Shan and others. After Liu Jun went to the palace, he first met with the hundred officials, and then took them to the Qianqing Palace, in front of the spirit of Emperor Longwu, Shi Bangyao, the right capital, unfolded the edict and read it out in public.
After the edict was read, Liu Jun bowed and accepted the edict.
Next, it was a complicated succession ceremony, and finally Liu Jun put on the crown, put on the dragon robe, was embraced to the Qianqing Palace by hundreds of officials, sat on the dragon chair that only the emperor can sit on, and accepted the congratulations of the civil and military officials.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Baiguan Mountain shouted, and the voice echoed in the hall for a long time.
Liu Jun stretched out his hands, raised them slightly upward, and said loudly, "Zhong Aiqing, don't be polite!" ”
"Long live thanks."
Liu Jun's gaze swept over the people in the hall, it was a feeling of dominating the world and overlooking all living beings.
Now, he Liu Jun has officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and from then on, the world will be dominated by him! (To be continued.) )
