In Zheng Xunrui's view, ascending the throne and becoming emperor is not a particularly complicated matter, after all, the strength of the Zheng family army is there, but for Zhou Yanru, Wen Zhenheng, Yang Tingshu, Gan Xuekuo, Yang Yipeng, Xiong Wencan and other old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, this is a big thing, and Zheng Xunrui must have legitimacy when he ascends the throne and becomes emperor.

Confucianism dominates the Central Plains and the south, even the emperor and the imperial court can not compete with it, this is a mountain that presses on everyone's hearts, moving away is not an overnight thing, not to mention that Confucianism has a lot of reasonable places, etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith is the highest level of summary of being a man.

Although Li Zicheng is also ready to ascend the throne and become emperor, the vast majority of scholars don't care about it, and they look down on it in their hearts, and there are many places where they call him a rogue, I am afraid that Li Zicheng will really ascend the throne and become emperor, and he will also face great difficulties, and will be opposed and ridiculed by countless people, but Zheng Xunrui is different, and it is by no means comparable to Li Zicheng.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hanged himself, and there were rumors among the people, saying that Zhu Youzhen left a will, but what this will is, it is top secret, not ordinary people can know.

However, one thing spread, that is, before Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, the chief eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch Gao Qiqian, and the merchant Duan Zongkui were once by the emperor's side, and these people should know the emperor's will.

When Yang Tingshu and Wen Zhenheng led Gao Qi into Wenyuan Pavilion, Zheng Xunrui was a little strange.

The eunuchs in the palace were killed by Li Zicheng, but most of the eunuchs survived, thanks to Cao Huachun, the former eunuch and the governor of Beijing, because Cao Huachun opened the gate of the inner city and waited for Li Zicheng to enter the inner city, so Li Zicheng did not kill the eunuchs.

After Zheng Jiajun took control of the capital, he focused on stabilizing the situation in the capital. And Zheng Jiajun's autumn did not commit any crimes, so that the capital quickly stabilized, Zheng Jiajun's toughness, the capital Baixin saw it with his own eyes, and his heart was also a lot more stable, but no one put up any slogans. Because they don't know how to write it.

The crowd that stabilized also included the eunuchs of the palace.

Zheng Xunrui did not kill Li Zicheng's relatives, but transferred them out of the palace and placed them in other places, which made the eunuchs and palace maids more relieved, and they didn't even kill Li Zicheng's relatives, let alone move them.

Zheng Xunrui's feelings about eunuchs are strange, he hates the existence of eunuchs, not that he hates eunuchs. Instead, he hated this system of letting people go to the palace, in order to ensure the purity of the harem, the emperor actually let men enter the palace from the palace to serve, this practice lacks humanity and will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated by history.

Eunuchs are not exactly bad people, the most famous eunuchs in history are the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, why don't you say more.

Zheng Xunrui will definitely not kill these eunuchs, nor will he reuse and trust the eunuchs. His son Zheng Hanyu and nephew Zheng Kunyu did not have a single eunuch by his side.

The existence of eunuchs has its own justification. Zheng Xunrui, who can't be completely overthrown and is ready to create a new dynasty, needs to think carefully about everything and decide after weighing the pros and cons.

Gao Qi sneaked in and knelt down.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu.

It was Wen Zhenheng who spoke first.

"Your Royal Highness, Gonggong Gao has the emperor's edict."

This made Zheng Xunrui's second monk confused, and Li Zicheng captured the capital. Zhu Youzhen has fallen into an extreme panic, how can he leave any edicts, the edicts he knows are nothing more than marrying Zhu Youzhen's daughter Zhu Huijiao, which Zhu Youzhen is very smart. He Zheng Xunrui married Zhu Huijiao, so it was impossible to attack Zhu Cihong and others.

In fact, where would Zheng Xunrui do such a thing.

Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu both had smiles on their faces.

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, did not speak, and knelt on the ground Gao Qiqian spoke.

"Your Highness, the slave really has the emperor's edict......"

The things that Gao Qiqian took out made Zheng Xunrui's eyes straighten, it was really a holy decree, and there was also a jade seal.

The holy decree was opened, this is a guilty edict, but at the end of the guilty edict, there are very clear words, Zhu Youzhen feels that his ability is insufficient, and he is unable to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, so he can only apologize for his crimes with death, and pass on the throne of the King of Xiang, the prince and the prince, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Zheng Xunrui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, with Zheng Xunrui as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After passing it on, there were also words about Zheng Xunrui marrying Zhu Huijiao. 、

Rao is a shrewd and wise Zheng Xunrui, who was also stunned, and he almost believed that this holy decree was true.

However, Zheng Xunrui is not so good at fooling, Gao Qiqian is a celebrant eunuch and an inner servant, which is equivalent to a eunuch with a palm seal of the celebrant and a eunuch, who usually keeps the jade seal, and almost all of the emperor's holy decrees come from the celebrant eunuch, and the emperor will not write it himself, so it is not difficult to forge such a holy decree.

Zheng Xunrui has Zhu Youzhen's letter in his hand, which is a letter written by Zhu Youzhen the day before his death, Duan Zongkui has been secretly collecting, and Zheng Xunrui only took it out after entering the capital.

This letter reflects Zhu Youzhen's most genuine mentality, and Zheng Xunrui will never reveal half a word about its content.

After reading the holy decree, Zheng Xunrui did not speak, and his face was very calm.

Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu's attitudes are completely different, with Zhu Youzhen's edict, it is natural for Zheng Xunrui to ascend the throne and become emperor, there is no problem, and there is no discussion among scholars in the world.

This edict is too precious.

Seeing the expressions of Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu, Zheng Xunrui knew that this edict must be announced, and he had no way to object, only in this way that he would be the emperor legally, but there was one more point, that is, the Ming Dynasty would continue to be maintained, since it was Zhu Youzhen's edict, he Zheng Xunrui was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

There are some things that Zheng Xunrui can't oppose, even though he has the strongest strength.

Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu withdrew from Wenyuan Pavilion, and the two of them carefully held the holy decree and the jade seal, this thing must not be missed, otherwise they will not be able to cover a hundred lives.

Gao Qiqian was still kneeling.

"High diving, aren't you afraid of death?"

Hearing Zheng Xunrui's words, Gao Qiqian instantly understood the meaning, his body trembled, kowtowed again and again, and he couldn't speak.

"Gao Qiqian, you are very smart, you thought of this idea, you want to save the lives of Zhu Cihong and others, I don't believe that I will really protect them, it can be seen that you are still loyal, Wang Chengen has followed Zhu Youzhen and left, and he is by his side until death, it is very rare, with a loyal person like you, Zhu Youzhen should be satisfied."

"I won't kill you, let alone Zhu Cihong and others, if you rely on these means to consolidate the throne and regime, then how fragile this throne is."

"But you remember, you keep your mouth shut all your life, and some things are more terrible to say than death, and you have been in the palace for many years and understand this truth."

"There are many things in the palace that need to be taken care of, so you are in charge of it."

"My requirements are different, you must remember that eunuchs must not interfere in politics, otherwise there will be no mercy, I can give you glory and wealth, but it is limited to that."

"You will enter the palace tomorrow, these tosses of time, presumably the palace is also panicked, to stabilize the palace, I don't want the palace to fly."

Gao Qiqian only knew kowtow, couldn't say anything, and didn't dare to speak casually, the emperor in front of him who was about to ascend the throne was too different from the previous emperor, and it was impossible to be fooled by anyone.

The Ming Dynasty, which was almost destroyed, was actually continued in the hands of Gao Qiqian, an inconspicuous eunuch, no one will believe it, but history is like this, many times a small thing can change the direction of history.

Wen Zhenheng, Yang Tingshu and others instantly became beaming, and the other Shangshu of the Six Ministries of Nanjing were about to arrive in the capital, and once the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other officials were all in office, it was the moment when Zheng Xunrui ascended the throne.

Wen Zhenheng and others will never doubt the rationality and legitimacy of the holy decree, this holy decree was written at the last moment of the emperor, and it was written after Zheng Xunrui saved Zhu Cihong and others, the emperor had a premonition of everything, and also knew that Zhu Cihong and others were difficult to take on the task, so they passed the throne to Zheng Xunrui.

The rise of the south has long shocked the imperial court, and who does not know the wisdom of Zheng Xunrui in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the strength of the Zheng family army is even more difficult to match, perhaps the emperor understood all this at the last moment.

Besides, this edict of the first emperor can be described as extremely smart, if there is no edict, whether Zhu Cihong and others can survive is still unknown, many princes of the Ming Dynasty distributed in various places, whether they are convinced or not, although these people can't afford to make big waves, but small fights are always annoying.

According to Zheng Xunrui's request, in addition to maintaining the stability of the capital, it is also necessary to quickly renovate the Guozijian, which will become a place for training officials above the seventh rank in the future, especially the chief officials of provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, including many officials in the capital, must enter the Guozijian for training, and the lecture hall for training officers at all levels of the Zheng Jiajun will also be partially relocated to the capital, and all the officers above the guerrilla general level of the Zheng Jiajun and the junior officers of the Zheng Jiajun stationed in the north will be trained in the Jiangwutang in the capital, and the rest of the lower-level officers will be trained in Nanjing.

There are too many things that need to be done, Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu and others are busy with their feet not touching the ground, and Wen Zhenheng, who is also the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, even went to the location of the porridge sheds set up in person to check the situation, Yang Tingshu, Yang Yipeng and Xiong Wencan and others also often paid private visits in the capital to see if the situation had calmed down.

Everyone did all this for one thing, so that Zheng Xunrui could smoothly ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Zheng Xunrui thought about more things, maintaining the stability of Beizhili, Shanxi and Henan is a major matter, the allocation of key officials in the capital, and the reform of some bureaucratic institutions are also a major matter, and the conquest of the army led by Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and Hong Xintao is also a major matter.
