Coming out of the Taiyi Palace, Chen Dexing had already put on a golden dragon robe, with a black black gauze crown on his head. This is the dress of the Son of Heaven designed by Guo Fuer, which was worn in various ceremonies.

Seeing Emperor Chen, who was dressed in local tyrant gold, outside the Taiyi Palace, there was a sudden cheer of mountains and tsunamis.

Chen Dexing's ascension to the throne as emperor can be said to be the expectation of all. Overcoming the Central Plains, expelling the Tatars, fixing the capital Youyan, and firmly controlling the white mountains and black waters, it can be said that it swept away all kinds of declines in Chinese civilization since the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he also rejuvenated the way of heaven, set "Chen Li", and was determined to open up the world and educate the world. How could such a hero not be thousands of times stronger than the stupid emperor of the Southern Dynasty?

Only by letting such heroes lead Huaxia can it build a super empire far beyond the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people can also bathe in the prosperity and stability of the peaceful and prosperous era for a long time.

A four-wheeled imperial chariot pulled by twelve horses had stopped outside the Taiyi Hall at this moment. In the midst of cheers, Chen Dexing boarded the imperial chariot with Li Cuixian, and returned to Zhaoming Palace under the escort of the guards. This time, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty and the members of the Consultative Assembly (Noble Council), as well as Li Yanguo, Shi Tianze, and Wang Qi, the feudal monarchs under the command of the Great Emperor, also followed closely and walked to Zhaoming Palace.

After the enthronement ceremony, there is a series of ceremonies to be held. The first is the canonization ceremony - that is, to knight the heroes and warlords under his command and the kings of the subject countries.

……

"Li Yanguo, I Fengqing is the king of Tang, temporarily leading a province in Shandong, and the land of Xu Pi and Baoying Prefecture!"

In the Zichen Palace, the canonization ceremony is underway. The first to be entitled was Li Yanguo. He was named the king of Tang, and the territory was still the same as before. Provisional 20 years. As for the land of Yongzhen, it has not yet been finalized. But it's roughly the birthplace of the Khmer Empire.

"Wang, I am the king of Goryeo. The land of the Seven Roads of Goryeo, Yeongjin. ”

The second to be enthroned was the king of Goryeo, who was given the land of the seven provinces, including Hwanghae-do, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do, Gyeongsang-do, Gangwon-do, and Pyongan-do. Roughly speaking, the territory of Hamgyong Province in later Joseon did not belong to the present-day Goryeo Kingdom, which now belonged to the Cheolyeong Prefecture in Liaodong Province.

"Chen Huang, I sealed Qingqing's father Chen Huang as the king of Annan, the land of the twelve roads of Annan in Yongzhen."

The 12th Annam Road is roughly the northern part of Vietnam in later generations. The territory of southern Vietnam in later generations is now owned by the Champa state. And the Champa country is the fat meat that Annam and the Khmer compete with each other, and Chen Ming will also intervene sooner or later......

"Chen Heng, I Fengqing is the king of Thailand, the land on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Meinan River in Yongzhen."

Tan Heng is the most famous Lang Khamhang the Great in Thai history. This time, I didn't travel thousands of miles to Yanjing. Because the Kingdom of Sukhothai is a newly opened country, there are not too many traditional forces, and the territory is not large, and the population is not large, the transformation is quite fast. Soon there was a shift from Upper Theravada Buddhism to Celestial Taoism. Therefore, it was accepted as one of the Zhuxia, and the royal family was given the surname Chen, and the name of the country was also set as the Kingdom of Thailand. However, this country is only a fledgling formation, in fact, it is a tribal alliance, and they themselves do not know how much land they have.

Therefore, Chen Dexing roughly asked them to "Yongzhen in the middle and lower reaches of the Meinan River - there are actually many small Thai states there." The Khmer kingdom also did not give up completely. How much territory can be played in the end depends on their own ability.

In fact, seal a general area, and then let the feudal lords and vassals themselves show their magical powers. It is the main model of "Chen's feudalism". The central empire of Chen Ming will manage a piece of land and then divide it up. That can be treated only by the descendants of the Chen family or the heirs of Chen Dexing.

But at the moment, these people will not be crowned as vassals and vassals. The brothers of Lianqiong Hualou. It's just the status of a duke and a marquis. As for Chen Dexing's sons, except for his eldest son, Chen Chang'an, who was named the crown prince. The rest because of the young age. None of them received any knighthoods......

……

The ceremonies of sealing and knighthood are going on endlessly. According to "Chen Li". Above the knights, there are also six noble titles such as baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, and prince - these nobles only have a fief and no fiefdom, and they are actually large knights. The titles of these non-fiefdom nobles are all without place names, such as loyal and righteous uncles, loyal and brave marquis, protectors and so on.

In addition, there was a kind of vassals and vassals - this was the nobility with fiefs and people. The lowest level is called the lord, and above it is the baron, the viscount, and the earl, all of which are called vassals, and cannot establish a state independently, but have full power in the fief, like a king. Above the fourth rank are the princes, the grand dukes, and the kings. It is possible to establish princes, principalities, and kingdoms. All vassals and vassals have their titles with place names.

When canonizing vassals and kings, they also have to attach fiefs, and fiefs are divided into two categories: temporary claims with a limited period and Yongzhen with no time limit. The temporary fiefdom was to be taken back as soon as the period of time was reached, and in fact, it was to open up the overseas rear as a feudal lord and vassal.

Of course, Yongzhen's fief is overseas, and Yongzhen's fief can also be transferred, but it cannot be taken back without guilt - only after obtaining the consent of the Heavenly Dao Mission and the Chinese Noble Council (not a consultative assembly, but a conference composed of representatives of the nobles of the Chinese countries, whose duty is to assist the Ming Emperor in handling the affairs of the Chinese states), can the feudal state or vassal territory be abolished. If a feudal lord wants to remove a vassal under his name, he must follow the same procedure.

In addition, Chen Dexing also named Li Cuixian as the Empress of the Ming Dynasty and Guo Fuer as the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty at the canonization ceremony.

After the canonization of the main hall, there were two ceremonies: the appointment of the cabinet and the opening of the advisory assembly. Chen Ming's Son of Heaven did not directly manage government affairs, but managed the country by appointing prime ministers and ministers. At the same time, the Cabinet is also subject to the supervision of the Consultative Assembly representing the local government. Members of the Council also have the power to impeach the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, and their functions are somewhat similar to those of the Imperial History. However, it is not possible to hear about the matter, nor can it be directly impeached by a single member of the legislature, but must be voted on by the Consultative Assembly, and a simple majority can be obtained before a resolution to overthrow the cabinet can be formed, and a two-thirds majority can be obtained before an impeachment resolution can be formed. However, whether it is overthrow or impeachment, the final decision is in the hands of the emperor.

According to the provisions of the "Chen Li" chapter on monarchs and ministers, the laws of the Ming Dynasty should also be discussed and revised by the cabinet and the Consultative Assembly, and then submitted to the emperor for approval. In addition, after the various laws of the Ming Dynasty were formulated, the judiciary of the Ming Dynasty would also be separated from the administrative system and a judicial system directly responsible to the emperor would be established.

At this point, the feudal democracy of the Chen Ming Empire was fully formed. In terms of national governance alone, the Ming Dynasty is already a fairly modern country. The power of the state was not concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone, but was held jointly by the emperor, the bureaucrats, and the nobility (gentry). Moreover, there is a certain amount of mutual checks and balances between the bureaucracy (civil servants) and the aristocratic gentry, at least for the time being, to ensure that the state is not completely controlled by a single interest group.

Like Zhu Ming in history, the need to use eunuchs to restrain the evil government of civil officials does not seem to happen under Chen Ming's political framework.

However, in Chen Dexing's view, such a rather modern political system is not what he is most proud of. What satisfies him the most is that there is a Chinese international system under construction, which is not a Chinese world where the central empire can rule everything, just like the Western Zhou Dynasty was unable to control all the vassal states in history!

Because the Chinese world has developed to a certain extent, there will inevitably be international competition - although the Central Empire has the most and best hole cards, competition is still inevitable! If you want to preserve the glory and splendor of the Central Empire, you must work hard, not be arrogant behind closed doors.

If that happens, another flourishing kingdom of China, or even the republic or the United States, will take its place. Just like the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons in history, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States!

An international community full of competition and pressure is probably the best gift that Chen Dexing left to future generations of Chinese people, right?

……

The series of ceremonies, although relatively simplified, were also busy all day, and did not end until the night was dark.

Yang Po'er was not qualified to participate in these ceremonies, so she led a servant woman in the harem to renovate a table of banquets, so that Chen Dexing, Li Cuixian, and the Empress Dowager Guo Fu'er, who had been busy all day, could enjoy it after returning to the palace.

Tonight is the first night of Chen Dexing's reign as emperor, and the people sitting around the table must not have the slightest sleepiness. Even Zhao Lin'er, who has lost her status as the main room, has a smile on her charming face. toasted Chen Dexing, Li Cuixian and Guo Fuer one after another. I don't see the slightest displeasure.

There is no other reason for such an atmosphere at the banquet. It was Chen Dexing who had promised Zhao Lin'er to inherit the throne of the Song Dynasty. Of course, it is impossible for Lin'er to leave Chen Dexing to govern, but this position has been finalized, and the successor to the Song State in the future can only be her son, and the surname Zhao must be used. It can be regarded as the inheritance of the country founded by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi. As for where this country will be, Chen Dexing has not yet figured it out......

Zhao Lin'er's son has a future as a king, and the other concubines naturally can't be treated badly.

Chen Dexing held up a cup of soju and looked at his women with a smile, "All the concubines, all of you have the appearance of the country and the fragrance of the country, both beautiful and virtuous, I can get you, I really don't know if it is a blessing from several lifetimes." He paused, then smiled again, "Today, I have become a concubine, and you should also have the status of concubine." He turned his head to look at Queen Li Cuixian, "Xian'er, come on." ”

Now it's time to canonize the concubine, and the personal title has long been discussed by Chen Dexing, Li Cuixian and Guo Fu'er, Zhao Lin'er is the imperial concubine, and all the treatment is the same as the queen, and she still lives in Dongxiu Pavilion. Under the imperial concubine is the concubine, and Baoyin and the lord of Qing'an Palace have been given the title of concubine because of their noble background. Below are the concubines, Cui Yue'er, Wang Rong'er, Liu Zhen's three daughters, and Xia Lian'er, who is about to enter the palace, put together the four concubines.

In addition, this matter should be announced by the queen. Li Cuixian was not polite, nodded with a smile, and entered her role as the queen...... (To be continued......)
