Chapter 749: Enthronement Ceremony (II)

With the sound of a salute, Wang Guorui and his women also walked to the Taihe Hall in the Forbidden City, preparing to hold the so-called enthronement ceremony. There were nineteen salutes this time, and eighteen of them were ordinary salutes, with a caliber of no more than 75 millimeters. And the last salute was a large-caliber salute, he had a large-caliber of one hundred and twenty millimeters. The eighteen ordinary small-caliber salutes fired a total of 216 salutes, representing the 216 years that the land of China has been completely occupied by the Manchus. And this is not the end of the Ming Dynasty from Li Zicheng's attack on the capital, but from the surrender of Zheng Keshuang during the Zheng period. Because Wang Guorui did not recognize the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty, he naturally had to count Shu Zheng into account. Therefore, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was calculated according to Wang Guorui's "King Rule", that is, from the destruction of Zheng Zheng, which was also to commend the Zheng family and give Zheng Hong, the ancestor of the queen, some face.

"Boom!"

A huge salute shell was fired into the sky, this is the largest caliber salute fired into the sky, just to make up for the sound of the 217 salutes, and bursts of petals fell from the sky, which were contained in the special cannonball just now. The soldiers of these salutes were artillerymen drawn from the Red Police Force, and they were asked to ensure that the salute would hit one point and that there would be no problems.

"My Chinese civilization has been ...... since the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang"

Immediately people began to read the so-called edict of enthronement, and this edict of enthronement was actually an edict for each dynasty to prove its legitimacy. E Guorui's edict was drafted by Kang Tongwei, which can be regarded as a chance for her to leave a name in history. In the future, future generations will recall that Kang Tongwei will not be just one of the queens, but a talented woman, a talented woman who can draft the edict of enthronement.

This edict begins with the Yan and Huang Emperors, and then counts the beginning of Chinese civilization along the way. And then experienced the suffering. There were also foreign invasions, starting from Wuhu Chaohua, to being ruled by the Yuan Dynasty at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang's expulsion of the Tatars. And Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars a lot of pen and ink, this is for the later as a foreshadowing. Finally, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu invasion followed. A policy of massacre was adopted against the Chinese, which made them miserable and in the end, the people were miserable.

After the Manchu rule, a group of Han Chinese finally woke up and began to embark on the road of expelling the Tatars. And this person is naturally Wang Guorui. He began to lead everyone to expel the Tartars and recapture the Han family. Later, Wang Guorui and Zhu Yuanzhang were compared, so that they could also start comparing step by step, claiming that Wang Guorui and Zhu Yuanzhang were the same. They are all meritorious deeds obtained by expelling the Tartars, and they are all heroes who saved the country and the nation.

"Today, my Chinese sons and daughters are all descendants of the two emperors of Yan and Huang. The Te Kingdom Rui was established as the Yanhuang Empire. The Yanhuang Empire is ordered by the trust of all the people in the world, and it should put the well-being of all the people in the world first......"

This paragraph is about Wang Guorui's establishment of the Yanhuang Empire, and then there is no talk of being ordered by heaven, but by the faith of all the people in the world. In this way, from the so-called being ordered by heaven, it has also become the trust of all the people in the world, and from the divine authority of the monarch to the authority of the monarch and the people. And such a change is a change in the thinking of the whole country. From relying on foolish people to rule in the past, it has now become relying on the wisdom of the people. It is a change that takes the initiative to accept the supervision of all the people in the world. It is not the kind of people who did not hesitate to fool the people in order to ensure their rule. In fact, it has been proved that the road of relying on the foolish people is getting narrower and narrower, and in the end it is impossible to go on at all. Therefore, Wang Guorui must find a way to open the wisdom of the people, from the divine authority of the monarch to the current monarchy of the people, which is a very obvious change.

"Everyone. Now, please Your Majesty the Emperor officially ascends the throne! The ceremonial officer immediately shouted.

Wang Guorui came to the golden dragon chair of this Taihe Palace, and then sat down gently.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone bowed and saluted, but did not bow down.

According to before, it was originally according to the plan of those Manchu corrupt Confucians. and those who prostrate themselves. However, Wang Guorui has now abolished it, so this has also changed to bowing. And next, Wang Guorui will also announce the abolition of some feudal stereotypes.

"The emperor has an order to officially announce the edict of benefiting the people."

"The edict said: 'In the past, the name of the king would be listed as a shun, and the emperor decreed that the name of any emperor should not be avoided in the future, and in order to facilitate the people's study and life, all written avoidance will be abolished from now on.'"

This edict was issued in the vernacular, and all future edicts and official documents will be written in the vernacular, so that everyone can understand it.

This is about name avoidance, according to ancient emperors, there would be a name avoidance. Once the emperor gave him a name, no one else could use it for his name. Even in the future, when writing, you have to use other words or gaps instead. And this kind of evasion is actually a manifestation of the **** of the feudal era, and Wang Guorui first wanted to depose it. Because this is a written content, it has a great impact on the people. Wang Guorui's name is "Guorui", isn't it okay for others to use the word "Guorui" in the future? These two words are commonly used words, and if you even have to avoid common words, it will be really troublesome in the future. Moreover, the emperor will be passed down from generation to generation, and the more and more people will avoid it, and it will be more and more difficult for the people. Therefore, it is imperative to directly order the abolition of the avoidance regulations on the text.

"The edict said: 'All the people in the world are the emperor's subjects, and the eunuch system is very inhumane, and it is also a system that destroys human nature set up to satisfy the king's selfish desires. From now on, the eunuch system will be abolished forever, and the imperial palace will not continue to recruit eunuchs. In the future, normal ordinary men will be allowed to work in the non-living quarters of the palace, and there will be no need to recruit eunuchs. When it comes to the emperor's living area, some female officials can be recruited to serve. This female official was hired by the king, not by force. And they are an employment relationship, not a personal affiliation. The monarch cannot force favor the other party if he does not want to. Fortunately, anyone else can impeach the king in Parliament, and if he does not change his ways, the Parliament can initiate the removal of the king. The maximum number of female officers employed in the king's quarters was 2,000 and was subject to the supervision of members of Parliament. ”

This edict surprised some ordinary people, because according to everyone's thinking, the eunuchs should be responsible for the palace, but now the eunuch system has been abolished. However, Wang Guorui also said that the eunuch system is a very inhumane system, so it is inevitable to abolish it. However, deeper people don't understand that the eunuch system is actually a product of imperial power, so since the situation of imperial power **** is almost impossible in the future, there is no need for this eunuch system to exist.

As for those female officials, they have also changed from the past recruitment and personal attachment to the employment system. In principle, you can sign a contract, and then leave even when the deadline comes. And the emperor can't force those female officials to serve. Otherwise, anyone can be impeached in Parliament, and then if it is serious, it will threaten the throne. However, when it comes to execution, some unmarried women may be recruited to serve as female officials, and at that time, if they were favored by the future emperor, they would stay. And once you reach a certain age, say over twenty-five, you have to leave the palace. Because if they are over twenty-five years old and have not been favored by the emperor, it will be meaningless if they continue to stay, but it will delay their lifelong events. Even as an emperor, it is impossible for a woman to let her wait for you for a lifetime for no reason, right? At that time, people have not been favored by you in their lives, but they have spent their best years here, how will she marry in the future? So after the age of twenty-five, you have to leave the court, and then replace a batch to come in.

Next, Wang Guorui officially announced some regulations to abolish the feudal system of the past. What kneeling etiquette was abolished, and even if you see the emperor in the future, you don't need to practice the kneeling etiquette. However, there is no restriction on the use of prostration, such as parents or ancestors, only for the emperor does not need to prostrate, and even clearly establishes a rule that there is no need to prostrate when seeing the emperor under any circumstances. Because Wang Guorui was afraid that future generations would take advantage of the loopholes, he specially ordered that it was okay to bow down to his parents and other dead people, but he was absolutely not allowed to bow down to the emperor and officials. Instead, the emperor and officials had to refrain from bowing down, and if they accepted someone else's bowing, they could be impeached by the parliament.

Next, a number of provisions were announced regarding the abolition of feudal traditions. What kind of girl binding, this is absolutely must be abolished, and even this is very important, it will be included in the criteria for local officials to inspect, if any local official is sloppy in abolishing footbinding, he will be removed from his post and never hired. This footwrap is very fatal, and it must be abolished as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know how many women will be harmed.

And the next things are all abolished in the same way, which are all agreed before, but it is just a process.

"Next, announce the canonization of all concubines and meritorious heroes!"

Hearing this, this is what everyone really values, even the people who listened to the nonsense in front of them have cheered up. Although they all had a rough idea of what reward they would receive, now that they heard this, they all raised their spirits again and prepared to obey. This is what they have been working hard for several years, so they are the most important, and this is the most important reward for their achievements over the years! (To be continued.) )
