"The first emperor collapsed suddenly, returned to the five elements, I obeyed the last order of the Emperor Daxing, entered the Zongao, and persuaded the internal and external civil and military ministers and the elderly military and civilians to advance, as for the repeated refusal, I would like to tell heaven and earth, that is, the emperor's throne."

"Long live my emperor!"

On July 27, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, He Xie ascended the throne as emperor in the Emperor's Palace, which was 27 days earlier than the original history.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the new monarch ascended the throne to enable the new era name, and the cabinet ministers put forward four proposals on the name of the year, and Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, asked the emperor to set the name of the year on the spot.

These four era names are Qiansheng, Xingfu, Xianjia and Chongzhen, with Qiansheng being the tallest and the word Chongzhen being the most low-key.

He Xie still uses the Chongzhen era name.

On the third day of the eighth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yan Peiwei, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, and Zhang Ruitu of the cabinet for corruption and bending the law, forming a party for personal gain, and the emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation. On the same day, the emperor summoned Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan to Beijing, with the intention of reviving these two

On August 14, Huang Liji and three other ministers were deposed without crowns, and on the same day, the emperor met Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and Han Kuang in the palace and had a very happy conversation.

The next day, Sun Chengzong accepted Ding Baiying as his righteous daughter.

On August 23, the monarchs and ministers gathered in the Imperial Palace, the emperor planned Yan Peiwei, Xu Guangqi and Han Kuang to enter the cabinet, Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan praised the painting, and the ministers reconsidered.

On August 25, Li Kuilong, the deputy capital of the left vice-capital, impeached the Jiangnan tea merchant Cao Kan for his life, and the fish and meat in the township, so that the people were miserable, and the emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian, the governor of Dongchang, and Wang Tiqian to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, and gave Shang Fang a sword to investigate the law.

This Li Kuilong is one of the five tigers of the eunuch party, and the civil and military officials naturally know that this is a scene where the emperor wants to raise military salaries for Sun Chengzong and is short of money, so he directs and acts by himself.

However, the Donglin Party did not rise like the original history, and there was no one in the Jiangnan Tea Merchants Dynasty, so naturally no one dared to speak for them.

On the same day, the Ministry of Rites invited the election of the wedding, the emperor refused on the grounds of mourning, and the next day the ministers invited again, and the emperor allowed it, and Lu Xiangsheng was the candidate for marriage.

On August 26, the emperor promoted Shen Lian of Jinyiwei Qianhu to be the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi, Lu Jianxing and Pei Lun were the commanders of the Beizhen Fusi, and posthumously presented the late Lu Wenzhao Jinyiwei, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, and the marquis of Jinyiwei, and posthumously honored the martyrs.

The emperor was furious and ordered Jinyi Wei to strictly investigate with the three divisions.

These five people are Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, known as the "Five Tigers", at this time Wei Zhongxian was raiding his family and exterminating his family in the south of the Yangtze River, setting off a bloody storm. The eunuchs were leaderless, and they couldn't resist the overwhelming pressure of the sudden change in the direction of the wind.

On the third day of September, the "Five Tigers" were convicted of confiscation of their family property and were executed.

The five tigers were destroyed, the ministers were excited, and in the next period of time, the voice of the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian in the DPRK was higher and higher, but they were all suppressed by the emperor.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Shaoxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng impeached Wei Zhongxian for ten crimes, saying that "the bamboo of the South Mountain is not enough to write his treacherous case, and it is difficult to wash away his sins by breaking the waves of the East China Sea."

The emperor was furious: "How dare a thief harm my virtuous minister? ”

Then he ordered Qian Jiazheng to take away his fame, expelled him from Beijing, and never used it.

After this incident, the ministers no longer impeached Wei Zhongxian, but began to squeeze the living space of the eunuchs in the court.

Anyone who impeached the factory guards in the emperor, the emperor will not be released, and only those who are eunuchs in the court will be ignored. After going back and forth, the ministers figured out the emperor's thoughts, so at the end of September, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch forces that he had worked so hard to build up in the court and the army were completely uprooted.

But the foundation of his East Factory has not been moved at all.

On the first day of October, the emperor elected Ding Baiying as the queen.

On November 15, Wei Zhongxian returned to Beijing and escorted the confiscated silver of 16 million taels and countless antique treasures.

On November 16, the emperor reprimanded Wei Zhongxian for his unfavorable behavior, which had provoked a popular uprising, removed him from his title, fined him for one year, and ordered him to repent. and killed Wang Tiqian to thank Jiangnan and reassure the people.

On November 23, the emperor promoted Sun Chuanting to the governor of Jiangnan.

At this time, the court has formed a situation of competition between the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Wu Party and other forces, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang were completely separated, and Jinyiwei commanded Pei Lun to reprimand Wei Zhongxian on the spot, which also spread all over the world.

But this does not mean that Wei Zhongxian has lost power since then, Dongchang is still a behemoth, but the power of Dongchang has completely shrunk back from the court and the border army.

On the fifth day of December, the emperor got married, and Ding Baiying was sealed.

In January of the first year of Chongzhen, Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, presented the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "The Strategy of Fire Attack" and "The Law of Making Gunpowder" and other works, and offered sweet potatoes. He ordered him to supervise the construction of artillery with all his might, and used a large number of foreign missionaries to join the Firearms Casting Bureau as master craftsmen, and did not hesitate to reward them with heavy silver. He also ordered the household department to promote sweet potato cultivation in Shaanxi and Shandong.

In the same month, Empress Ding was pregnant, and Emperor Kaienke won the corporal of the world.

In May, there was a severe drought and insect plague in the whole territory of Shaanxi, and the seedlings were scorched and starved all over the wilderness.

Shaanxi Patrol pressed Ma Maocai to play "Prepare for Chen's Great Hunger", and the cloud "Huang Ai Chidi, the township is a few broken people; White bones and green phosphorus, night after night like a ghost crying......"

In June, Fugu Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong rioted and captured Huanglong Mountain. Then Yichuan Wang Zuohang, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, Luochuan Zhang Cunmeng, Yanchuan Wang Monk, Hannan Wang Daliang and others responded, shouting "Instead of sitting and starving to death, why not steal and die!" ”

The civil unrest soon took on a prairie fire, and the flames of war burned all over Shaanxi!

The emperor promoted Lu Xiang to the governor of Shaanxi, allocated three million taels of silver, and ordered him to make every effort to relieve the disaster, suppress the people's rebellion, and kill the first evildoer.

In September, Shaanxi won a great victory, and the leaders of the mob such as Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin, and Wang Ziyong were all killed in the chaos.

In December, the Jin people Kou border pass, Sun Chengzong to Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others as generals, to resist the enemy outside the city of Ningyuan, this battle due to Sun Chengzong's caution and hesitation, missed the opportunity to thwart the enemy. When the emperor heard this, he rebuked Sun Chengzong and proposed to set up a military aircraft department outside the cabinet, but was opposed by hundreds of officials to no avail.

On the eighth day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, Queen Ding gave birth to a prince named Zhu Ciheng, and the whole country celebrated.

In April of the same year, Zhang Xianzhong gathered eighteen villagers in Dingbian County to launch a popular uprising, calling himself the "Eight Kings". Li Zicheng responded in Mizhi County, and for a while, the war in Shaanxi broke out again, and the two coerced the displaced people all the way, gathering 30,000 people.

The emperor was furious, Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, and failed to react immediately, this is the first, the cabinet reported at all levels, missed the best opportunity to suppress the civil unrest, this is the second, the cabinet chief assistant Yan Peiwei did not know about military affairs, failed to pay attention to it, this is the third, the emperor ordered Yan Peiwei to Shishi, and then mentioned the establishment of the military aircraft department, no one dared to object.
