. Three days later, the new emperor ascended the throne.

The mourning hall is white, but the Wende Hall has been restored to the glorious appearance of the golden wall.

The royal family is not as good as the ordinary people's family, and family affairs are also state affairs, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is a big day for the whole country to celebrate, which can neither be delayed nor bring out a trace of bad luck.

The enthronement hall is very grand, from the inner court, the outer court, and then to the noon gate, the royal street, all the mourning sheds have removed the white silk, replaced with colored silk, the flowers decorated are splendid, only the mourning hall is still with filial piety, the palace people who wear white clothes and tie white ribbons, and the attendants are also temporarily restrained in the mourning hall, and they are not allowed to move around during the ceremony.

The new emperor ascended the throne, civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, and veteran ministers, each in order, entered the palace in turn, paid homage and saluted, and in the sound of long live the mountain, Zhao Guangyi carefully put his ass on the emperor's throne, and his heart was finally more steady.

Today, all eyes are on him, and he is the only protagonist. His every move, every word and deed, is adhering to the will of heaven, he is the emperor on the high, looking at the ministers who kneel down the imperial steps, he is like a god on the top, looking down at the ants under his feet, that feeling, is really fluttering.

After paying homage to the new monarch, Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing, and Xue Juzheng led the Zhongshu, Menxia, the Privy Council, the Two Mansions and One Yuan, the Six Ministries, and the Jiuqing to ask His Majesty to change the name of the era.

According to the old practice, the year when the emperor died, the year name is not changed, the new emperor should be on the first day of the first month of the following year, and then set up a new year name, but if the old era name is still used, for Zhao Guangyi, the shadow of the dead brother will linger, and his emperor has never been solid enough, so he can't take care of the ancient system of old rites.

Immediately, Zhao Guangyi changed his name again.

His real name is Zhao Kuangyi, after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the courtiers wanted to avoid the emperor's name, so he changed his name to Zhao Guangyi, and now there is naturally no reason to change back to the old name, and he does not want to change back to the old name, the name Zhao Kuangyi always reminds him of another name with similar pronunciation, so he secretly invited the famous master of Beijing to draw up a new name for himself, the single name Jiongzi, in the future, Zhao Guangyi will be called Zhao Jiong.

Song to fire virtue to rejuvenate the country, this Jiong word is on fire under the sun, is in line with the great Song Dynasty national fortune, in his opinion is auspicious, although the fate of Feng Shui is a bit false after all, but for Zhao Guangyi, who is eager to consolidate the regime, but everything that can please some auspicious things, he is now tireless, from the good.

After the name of the year and the name were given, then the amnesty was granted to the world, the new policy was promulgated, the new emperor's grace was mighty, and the rain and dew were all over the world.

At the same time, the Chunqiu Imperial Examination is in full swing, Zhao Guangyi decreed, this subject of Chunfu, expand the number of scholars, the number of admissions for each subject has been expanded by dozens of people per examination during the time of Emperor Taizu, and even a hundred times, reaching hundreds or even thousands, and stipulates that from now on, all according to this example. Naturally, this move was warmly supported by thousands of scholars and their families who crossed the single-plank bridge and only sought to enter the government.

In the imperial examination, the jinshi of the same subject and the first department call each other the same year, and call the examiner the seat master, seat teacher or enmen, and call themselves protégés. In this way, a very special teacher-student relationship has been established between the new jinshi and the chief examiner, and the new jinshi often regards his pass as a kind of kindness to himself and is grateful to Dade, so the imperial examination has become a channel for the chief examiner to form a party for personal gain, establish and cultivate his own power, and the Niu Li party struggle in the late Tang Dynasty is an example.

In view of this, Zhao Kuangyin transferred the power to decide whether candidates can be admitted to his own hands, thus forming the third level of the imperial examination: the palace examination. The emperor became the final examiner, became the benevolent door of all the new jinshi, and all the new jinshi became the emperor's students and the protégés of the Son of Heaven, and the object of their gratitude to Dade could only be the emperor. In this way, the emperor firmly grasped the power of the imperial examination in his hands.

Zhao Guangyi's wanton expansion of the number of scholars added a lot of fresh blood to the ranks of eunuchs, and these scholars will all serve in the government in the future, which is equivalent to mastering a huge contingent of reserve officials loyal to him at once. This hand is very exquisite, and the contributors are Song Qi and Murong Qiu to get drunk.

Immediately, Zhao Guangyi rewarded the ministers. Of course, Dang Jin, Pan Mei, Hu Yanzan, and others who were on expeditions abroad were rewarded, and the Korean Chinese Wu was no exception, and Lu Duoxun, Xue Juzheng, Lü Yuqing, Shen Lun, Cao Bin, and Chu Zhaofu were all promoted to the rank of official, and those who could not be promoted themselves were promoted to the rank of official, and their sons, grandchildren, and nephews were promoted to officials. In addition, some old and important ministers like Zhao Pu, who still have great potential in the court, have been sent down by him one by one, ready to be transferred to the vicinity of Kaifeng in order to control them.

Zhao Guangyi issued an edict, the civil and military officials called for a hundred years old, the voice was like a sea of mountains, Zhao Guangyi, sitting on the high throne, felt the huge sound in front of him, and couldn't help but boil, this is power, supreme power, everyone under the stairs is a powerful civil and military minister, and they all kneel at their feet, this is the emperor.

The prince, even if it is the noble prince, there is a world of difference between the emperor and the emperor, if he does not sit in this position, he will never feel the taste of the world in his hands, although he tries his best to maintain solemnity, solemnity, and the sadness of remembering the emperor, he still can't help but show a smile, so he learned the previous habits of the imperial brother, stretched out a hand, waved slowly and powerfully, and said in a deep voice: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Long live thanks!" The ministers got up and returned to their positions in order. One of them limped and looked unusually eye-catching.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi saw him, he felt very tired in his heart.

Yang Hao, the person he once wanted to recruit, was always like leaving him, which made Zhao Guangyi, who had turned over the knots, always have a trace of unhappiness and humiliation in his heart, and this suppressed disgust finally exhausted the last bit of patience in his heart when Yang Hao became a cripple.

Now, this Yang Hao, who can hardly be called his confidant, but is likely to grasp the truth about his brother's usurpation of the throne, is like a thorn in his eye, and he will pull it out quickly.

However, ......, now is not the time, sitting on this throne is only the beginning, and sitting firmly on this throne is the end. Yang Hao didn't have the courage or ability to expose his ugliness on the spot, he had the time and opportunity to slowly clean him up until he pulled out this thorn in his eye forever.

He looked down at Yang Hao from the high throne, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his head, looked straight ahead, and said in a deep voice: "When I was in the Qiandi, I was in charge of the affairs of the Kaifeng Mansion, and the officials in the mansion Song Qi, Jia Yan, Cheng Yu, and Murong Qiu were all drunk, and they were all reused. Wang Jien, declare my will. ”

"The slave obeys."

Wang Jien agreed and said: "Lord's order, Murong begged to be drunk and appointed to the matter, and Song Qi was the envoy of the East Pavilion; Jia Yan is the east head of the supply, Cheng Yu is the envoy of the West Pavilion, Shang Feng is the left class in front of the palace, Chen Congxin is the right class of the palace, Chen Zan is the deputy envoy of the armory, and Wang Yande is the deputy envoy of the imperial kitchen. Zhang Xun Ren ...... Zhou Ying Ren ...... Wang Jiying was appointed ......"

Wang Ji'en thought one by one, most of the subordinate officials of the Southern Ya had installed positions in the court, and these official positions were not only filled with Zhongshu, Menxia, Privy Council and Liubu, but also spread throughout the Beijing division and local military system, with a total number of more than 80 people. What does it mean to be a son of heaven and a courtier? That's it. The officials they hold are not very big, but everyone knows that in less than three or five years, these people will be promoted one after another and become the backbone of the emperor's civil and military class.

Among these people, Song Qi, Jia Yan, Cheng Yu, Murong Qiuzui and others were representatives, representing all the officials who had been enshrined in the palace to thank them, Zhao Guangyi evoked them with a pleasant face, and suddenly burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "The first emperor is not only the king of the world, but also my brother, the brother emperor dragon controls Bintian, and my heart is full of sorrow. When the first emperor was there, he loved his family, he did not consider himself to be the supreme, I ascended the throne, and I took the worship of heaven and the ancestors as the first priority, how dare I not follow the first emperor? Now that I ascended the throne, the amnesty was granted to the world, the civil and military officials were rewarded, and all the people in the world inherited the emperor's grace, how could they forget their families, and the mother, the emperor's brother, the prince, and the princess stepped forward to listen to the seal. ”

Empress Song, the prince Defang, the two princesses who had been married, and Princess Yongqing, as well as the third brother of the emperor, Zhao Guangmei, came forward and saluted the emperor. You don't have to kneel down to receive this will of grace, but just listen. ”

Wang Jien waited for Zhao Guangyi to take a step back before he coughed and announced in a loud voice: "...... King Dezhao of Wei, renamed King Wu, and added Yongxing Festival to envoy and Pingzhang; Defang, the second son of the emperor, was crowned as the envoy of Shannan West Road and Tongping Zhangshi; The emperor's younger brother Zhao Guangmei, the envoy of the Huainan West Road Festival and the servant of the middle and middle book orders, knew the Kaifeng Mansion and the king of Qi; The children of the first emperor, the children of the present, and the prince of Qi, the younger brother of the emperor, will all be called the prince and the princess in the future, and they will not be separated from each other......"

Subsequently, the two queens who had passed away were posthumously crowned by the first emperor, and the Song queen was given the honorific title, Zhao Kuangyin had four sons and six daughters, two princes and three princesses died early, and now among the three princesses who are still alive, the married Princess Zhaoqing has been named Princess Zhengguo, Princess Yanqing has been named Princess Xuguo, and Princess Yongqing, who has not yet married, has also entered the princess of Qiuguo, the princess is still a princess, and there is a rank in the title...... Zhao Guangyi's actions dispelled the suspicions and doubts of many courtiers. If it is said that those festival envoys, Pingzhang affairs, and even the prince are considered fictitious titles, but they only increase the salary and treatment, and there is no real power, but the third brother of the emperor, Zhao Guangmei, is the governor of the opening of the mansion, this is a real power, if the first emperor dies and there is really something strange, how dare you delegate power so much today?

Zhao Guangyi saw the reaction of the ministers in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart, he turned his eyes, and suddenly glanced at Yang Hao, who was the nail in his eye, and found that there seemed to be a faint ridicule in the corner of his lips. Still, he felt uncomfortable.

At this time, the third brother of the emperor Zhao Guangmei has stepped forward to thank him, he has no time to think about it, he is busy stepping forward to support the third brother, good words to appease him, when talking about the dead brother, the two brothers looked at each other hand in hand, tears were horizontal, a touching scene of brothers, friends and brothers, the civil and military officials saw it, and some people missed the first emperor, and they couldn't help but cry secretly.

Subsequently, Queen Song led a pair of children to thank her.

In front of Zhao Guangyi, Empress Song did not dare to show a trace of resentment. After she married into the palace, she had no children, and the prince Defang born to the first queen was regarded by her as her own son, and she loved her the most, Queen Song was afraid that Zhao Defang would not do anything more, and Zhao Guangyi saw any flaws, so she kept pulling him tightly and holding him in her arms, and Princess Yongqing followed behind the two sisters, bowing her head, tears rolling in her eyes.

"The official family, the concubine led a son and three daughters, and thanked the emperor for his kindness......"

"Sister-in-law, please get up."

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly helped her up, and said emotionally: "Imperial sister-in-law, imperial nephew ......, although we are a heavenly family, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, but it is only called in the Golden Palace." According to the rules of the imperial brother, our family sees each other every day, and we are only commensurate with our family, and I am still the second uncle of my sister-in-law, the second brother of Guangmei, the three princesses and the uncle in Defang's mouth.

Imperial sister-in-law, don't be too sad, the deceased is gone, and there is no resurrection. After I inherit the great treasure, the government will uphold the imperial brother's consistent proposition, take care of the inside and outside, and create peace with the people of the world. At home, I will be a benevolent and friendly head of the family, just like my brother did during his lifetime. ”

Empress Song hugged Zhao Dezhao tightly, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Xie Guan's family." ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded, looked around at Wenwu, took two steps forward, stretched his sleeves, and said in a loud voice: "All the Qing families, the gift of heaven, with the king of fire, there is my Song Dynasty." The first emperor was eloquent and strategic, fought in the south and the north, destroyed the princes of Jing, Hu, Shu, Han and Tang, vibrated the long whip and the imperial universe, laid the foundation of the prosperous world, opened the omen of the ages, and even the prosperity of the country, and served the guests from all over the world. I have followed the first emperor to conquer the world since I was a child, and I am not only a courtier of the first emperor, but also the younger brother of the first emperor, and I am deeply favored by the first emperor, and now I am entrusted by the first emperor to inherit the cause of the ages......"

These words have been brewing for a long time, and they have already been memorized, and they are sonorous and powerful, echoing in the Golden Palace for a long time, shaking everyone's heart, and all the civil and military officials know that this is the last speech of the new emperor to ascend the throne, which will set the tone of his future rule, so they all listen sideways.

"The rule of emperors has always been based on respecting the heavens and ancestors. The first emperor Rouyuan can go far, recuperate and recuperate, a total of the benefits of the four seas for the benefit, the heart of the day for the heart, the state in the danger, the rule in the chaos, the wise and the martial, the eternal king. My talent is difficult to reach the first emperor, so I can only work diligently all night and night, sleep well, practice diligent government, burn the anointment of the sundial, make up for the clumsiness, abide by the will of the first emperor, and live up to the trust of the first emperor. I also hope that Zhongqing will do his best to help and create peace in the Great Song Dynasty with me! ”

Respect for the heavens and the ancestors, that is, he will not make a big deal about the government and politics, and he will unswervingly carry out all the legacies of Emperor Taizu, which not only dresses himself up as the best heir to the legacy of the first emperor, but also makes the nervous civil and military officials finally settle down. The civil and military officials knelt down in unison, and suddenly responded: "To support the Great Song Dynasty, the ministers and others have an unshirkable responsibility." We must be united and loyal to the court! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

Zhao Guangyi wanted to look up to the sky proudly and laugh three times, but the first emperor's mourning period had not passed, so it was inappropriate to do so, so he only pursed his lips and signaled to the hundred officials.

In the rumbling oath, suddenly an incongruous cry came faintly, Zhao Guangyi frowned slightly, he flashed his eyes, and saw that it was Princess Yongqing hiding her face and crying, so he suppressed his unhappiness, pretended to be a kind and pleasant appearance, and said softly: "Yongqing, don't be sad, although your father has been mourned, your uncle will take good care of you like your father in the future." ”

"Xie Guan's family."

Princess Yongqing blessed him and wept: "Uncle described Daddy Xiao as cool, today I went to the palace, I saw my uncle wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown of heaven, walking with a dragon and a tiger, and his spirit was lofty, just like his father's appearance, Yongqing saw his uncle and thought of his father, remembering that he used to do less and nothing more, and often made his father angry, and now he thinks about it, and he regrets it." ”

Zhao Guangyi listened, and Ji Yan said: "Yongqing, don't feel guilty, if you can understand these truths, your father will also feel relieved under Jiuquan." ”

Yongqing sobbed and said: "Yongqing still remembers that the last time I saw my father was at the feast that day, on that day, my father announced that Lu Xianggong and several scholars entered the palace to give a lecture for Yongqing......"

Lu Duosun heard her mention the first emperor, and hurriedly arched his hand to the sky, and sighed: "Yes, the minister remembers very clearly, that day the emperor specially mentioned a gift word for the ministers to explain to the princess, the first emperor is the co-lord of the world, how many state affairs need to be worked on, and he is so worried about the princess's lifelong affairs, the first emperor is really ...... Well-intentioned. ”

Yongqing sobbed: "But Yongqing didn't know how to cherish it, so he secretly took a nap." I remember that after Lu Xianggong and the others left, Lord Zhang Xun came again, participated in the impeachment of Yang Hao, and roared in the hall, and Yongqing woke up ......"

Zhao Guangyi was very impatient, but now it was not just a daughter who was remembering her loving father, she was talking about the first emperor, so she could only stand aside with her hands slightly arched like a hundred officials, and listened quietly.

Princess Yongqing sighed faintly and said: "Alas......, that was the last time Yongqing talked to his father...... Yongqing still remembered that his father was very unhappy when he heard Lord Zhang Xun's complaint, and deducted Da Honglu's half a year's Yulu, and Yongqing interjected at that time that the punishment was heavier.

But his father said to Yongqing that although Lord Yang Hao acted recklessly, he was a loyal and diligent pillar of the court. After that, he sent an envoy to the Tang State and made great contributions to the pacification of Jiangnan in our dynasty; The envoy to the Khitan created a great opportunity for our dynasty to pacify the Han Kingdom. Every messenger is born and died, and it really has a lot of merit.

Now the military and political affairs in the northwest are rotten, there is a lack of a capable minister to defend the border, although Yang Hao's legs and feet are inconvenient, but he is the best candidate, the country employs people, eclectic, and his father will be crowned Yang Hao as the Hengshan Festival Envoy, the inspector of the school, and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, and judge the affairs of Luzhou Prefecture.

is so young, undertaking this heavy responsibility, in order to avoid his youth and vigor, there is a risk that he will be very easy to break, and now he will be punished a little and sharpen his sharpness, which is also a painstaking task. Whether my father treats his subordinates or his family, he rarely scolds and reprimands, and often induces him with painstaking kindness. After saying this, he taught Yongqing a lesson, if he doesn't learn etiquette, he doesn't know etiquette, and if he doesn't know etiquette, he is rude, and Yongqing is punished for reciting "Female Commandment", Yongqing is lazy, so he deliberately avoids his father, who wants to ...... This is actually the last time I saw my father, today I saw my uncle Long Yan, thinking of my father's voice and smile, how can I not be heartbroken, woo woo woo woo ......"

Yongqing said that he hid his face and cried, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and Zhao Guangyi ...... Zhao Guangyi's face darkened.

The first emperor wanted to crown Yang Hao as the envoy of the Hengshan Festival, the captain of the inspection school, and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, and judge the affairs of the Luzhou government? That...... Isn't that the tiger returning to the mountains and sending this henchman back to the northwest?

However, he had just announced to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty that the rule of the emperor was to respect the heavens and the ancestors, and he swore that he would abide by all the will of the first emperor and live up to the trust of the first emperor.

Princess Yongqing is the daughter of the first emperor, she said this in front of the civil and military officials, this is equivalent to saying an edict of the first emperor, does he obey it? In order to create a good image for himself and remove the suspicion in the hearts of hundreds of officials, Zhao Guangyi invested a lot of money, and even gave the Kaifeng Mansion Yin to the third brother.

Yang Hao was also stunned, he looked at Princess Yongqing with a pale face, and only said in his heart: "My God Allah Maria, I just want to get back the envoy of the prefect of Luzhou, and return to the northwest with dignity, so that he can't find a reason to embarrass me Luzhou, what's the matter...... What is the Hengshan Military Festival Envoy, the Inspector Tai Lieutenant, and the Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, and sentenced the affairs of the Luzhou Mansion? I didn't teach you! Those who make a judgment on the affairs of the prefecture and the state are called the envoys. Do you want me to return to Luzhou as prime minister? Aren't you doing you a disservice, can he agree? ”

Speaking of which, Yongqing added such an article to the words that Yang Hao taught her, but it was also out of painstaking efforts. In her mind, Yang Hao is a loyal minister who can be relied on, the eldest brother wants to raise troops to eliminate rebellion, if there is a prime minister-level figure around him, the weight will be heavier, so he added such a clause to the last words of "Zhao Kuangyin".

All the civil and military officials grinned as if they had a toothache, and looked at this official who kept saying that he wanted to respect the ancestors of heaven and obey all the orders of the first emperor, and saw whether he would agree or not. If he agreed, then except for Gan Luo, who was worshiped as the prime minister by King Qin Zhao at the age of twelve during the Warring States Period, Yang Hao would be the youngest prime minister in the world throughout the ages.

Zhao Guangyi also felt like a toothache, he grinned, turned to Yang Hao, with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, before he could speak, Yang Hao had already jumped out with an arrow step, it was really difficult for him to be lame, and to do such a difficult action. Yang Hao shouted excitedly and inexplicably: "The ministers are afraid, the ministers don't dare, the ministers are stubborn and vulgar, and they can't be used, but the first emperor is so important, and the ministers are grateful, but they are so preferential, and the ministers don't dare to be, don't dare to be wow......"

Zhao Guangyi was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he wanted to kick him out, if he didn't run out, Zhao Guangyi still had the mind to get by, and when he ran out and said this, Zhao Guangyi couldn't pretend that he didn't understand.

His eyelids jumped a few times suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and smiled at Yang Hao: "The first emperor has a good eye for people, and he won't be wrong." Yang Qing was born in my hidden mansion, and I am also honored to be so appreciated by the first emperor. The first emperor has a will, how dare I disobey, speaking of which, the Tang Kingdom, the Han Kingdom, the expansion of the territory, Yang Qing back and forth, although he has never commanded the army, the meritorious deeds are not weaker than the strength of the 100,000 army, such a country's talents, should be reused. I...... According to the last order of the first emperor, Yang Qing was crowned as the envoy of the Hengshan Military Festival, the captain of the inspection school, and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, and sentenced the affairs of the Luzhou government. ”

Yang Hao was just frightened and didn't dare, but before Zhao Guangyi's words landed, he immediately took it over and said: "Your Majesty is so important, the minister must be full of liver and brains to repay the king's kindness!" ”

He bowed at the feet of Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi looked at the back of his neck, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "What can I do if I crown you a king?" Will you be able to make it back to Luzhou alive? ”

Yang Haocheng knelt on the ground in fear, and a sneer quietly escaped from the corner of his mouth: "I just believe that the sow can go up the tree, and I won't believe you Zhao Laoer, but let me get this title, look at your dog bite and sting, how to do it to me!" ”
