Chapter 16: Enthronement and Claim the Throne!
The next day, the sun was shining and there were no clouds, and even the spring breeze, which was still a little cold, stopped today.
In Moling City, which has been renamed Nanjing, every household is decorated with lights, flowers are spread all over the place, and cigarette smoke lingers in the sky above Nanjing City.
The original palace of King Hongnong has long been renamed at this time.
In Haotian Palace, Taiji Palace, civil and military officials are wearing a jubilant brand new court dress, holding a jade plate made of beautiful jade, and standing neatly in two columns.
"Please ask the Son of Heaven to change his clothes, ascend the dragon throne, and accept the congratulations of the hundred officials!"
Zhuge Liang stepped forward, took the black and red dragon robe of the Son of Heaven from the palace maid, and helped Cheng Hao put it on with Lu Kang, and then Huang Zhong put the crown of the Son of Heaven on top of his head.
At this moment, wearing a dragon robe and a crown of the Son of Heaven, Cheng Hao's expression was solemn and plain, and then he slowly sat on the dragon chair.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
At the moment when Cheng Hao sat down, the hundred officials held the jade plate, and in the majestic hall, they bowed down in unison and chanted long live.
Originally, Zhuge Liang and others wanted to make hundreds of officials kneel and bow, but they were vetoed by Cheng Hao, he established the Han Dynasty, not the Braided Dynasty.
After the hundred officials congratulated, Cheng Hao no longer delayed time, and directly said that on the top of the main hall, he began to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards, and canonized a number of civil and military ministers.
"From today, change the yuan 'Tai Chi', and from now on, use the new era name!!"
"This dynasty no longer has three dukes, but two prime ministers on the left and right, and there are six under it!"
Glancing at the civil and military ministers with excited faces, Cheng Hao immediately announced that Zhuge Liang would be crowned as the left prime minister, Lu Kang as the right prime minister, and the left and right prime ministers as the first of the hundred officials, in no particular order.
Feng Zhouyu is the secretary of the military department, and from now on, the whole army will be ready for war!
Feng Lusu is the secretary of the household department, in charge of logistics matters such as money and grain!
.......
In addition to the change in the civil system, even the military general system has also changed, and Cheng Hao abolished the messy names of generals in the Han Dynasty, and divided them into three military ranks: general, colonel, and captain.
Feng Huang Zhong is a general, guarding Nanjing, and dealing with foreign wars at any time!
Feng Weiyan is a lieutenant general, commanding the Royal Forest Army!
Feng Ganning, Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Huang Gai and others are major generals, each leading an army, guarding the counties of Jiangdong, ready to go to war at any time!
In addition to the civil and military ministers under his command, Cheng Hao also wantonly added other princes!
Feng Cao Cao as the Marquis of Wei, Yuan Shao as the Marquis of Ping, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and others have all been rewarded, but the original history of Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places has been changed, but all of them have changed Cheng Hao's people, in short, whether you admit it or not, you are all officials under my rule, and if you don't obey, you will rebel!
"From today onwards, I ascend to the position of the Son of Heaven and am appointed by Heaven to live forever!
After being sealed in the court for more than half an hour, Cheng Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, this is really not a simple errand to be an emperor.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live!"
After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, nearly 100 civil and military officials in the main hall bowed and saluted, and the mountain shouted long live.
After the affairs in the court were dealt with, Cheng Hao got up and looked around, and then said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Zhongqing is flat, follow me to the ancestral altar, and worship the ancestors of the Han family!"
Telling the sky and sacrificing to the emperors of the Han dynasty is an indispensable item for the enthronement ceremony, only in this way can Cheng Hao, the new emperor, be justified and ordered by the sky, and live forever!
......
After a busy day, after returning from worshipping the ancestors, Cheng Hao sat on the Taiji Hall and gave the first order after ascending the throne.
"With Zhou Yu as the governor of the southern capital, pacify the southern barbarian departments!"
"All the soldiers and materials needed will be reported to the two prime ministers on the left and right after drawing up a plan!"
Mei Zhoulang stepped out of the crowd, took off the red Wenchen robe on his body, revealing a shining silver armor, clenched his fists and bowed: "Minister, lead the order!"
"Your Majesty, I just don't know, does Your Majesty want to subdue all the Southern Barbarian tribes, or kill them all?"
"Those who don't surrender will be killed!" Cheng Hao coldly spit out these words, and issued a principle for this campaign!
For Cheng Hao's edict, even some pedantic civil officials such as Lu Kang did not speak out against it, it is really that since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the southern barbarian tribes have surrendered and surrendered, and often have nothing to do to wantonly attack and kill the Han people, plundering property, which has become a big poisonous sore, and now it has reached the point where it cannot be removed!
"Kong Ming, I asked you to draft two edicts to summon Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, and Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, to enter Beijing to take up their posts!"
"Admiral Huang Zhong listens to the order, you prepare the three armies, if Liu Biao and Liu Yan are disrespectful, they will immediately send troops, first take Yizhou, and then go down to Jingzhou, within half a year, I want to let the entire area south of the Yangtze River, there can only be one voice!"
"Lu Kang, with your book to announce to the world, declare the establishment of the orthodoxy of our Han Dynasty, and at the same time spread the word to the world, in March this year, the civil and military imperial examination will be opened, and all capable people in the world can come to participate in the imperial examination, regardless of status and status, only look at the ability to learn, and those who are on the list can be officials!"
"Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, with the two of you expanding the naval army from today, and at the same time forming a navy, in addition to the Han land, it will also be my goal in the future, and all the places where the sun and the moon shine are my Han land!"
......
issued more than ten edicts in a row, Cheng Hao dealt with all the major matters that needed to be dealt with after the founding of the country, and worked all day before he finally breathed a sigh of relief after Zhong Dahong retreated.
At the end of the court meeting, Cheng Hao did not leave immediately, but led the ministers to the side hall for a banquet, and after three rounds of wine, the banquet dispersed.
With the smell of alcohol, Cheng Hao returned to the harem, drank the tea that Tang Yueyao had already brewed, and chatted with the Empress Dowager He, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, now that you are the Son of Heaven, it stands to reason that the harem should not interfere in politics, but you have sealed the world today, but why didn't you divide your grandfather's He family?
"This matter is not in a hurry!" Cheng Hao shook his head, "When I dominate the world in the future, I will naturally be rewarded again!"
"It's okay, you can know it in your heart!" Empress Dowager He nodded, "I'm a woman, and I don't know anything about the court, but I also know a little about the affairs of the harem." ”
"Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and it is time to formulate a perfect hierarchy in the harem, otherwise there will be more women in the palace in the future, and there will be chaos!"
Cheng Hao pondered slightly, and then nodded, "This is also true, tomorrow I will announce to the world, canonize Yueyao as the queen, the mother of the world, and command the harem!"
"As for the hierarchy of the harem, this matter is not in a hurry, I have no plans to accept concubines again, there is Yue Yao in the harem, it is enough!"
For the love and love of mortals, Cheng Hao has long lost much interest, it is a trouble for him to have more women, it is enough for Tang Yueyao to manage the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem, and he doesn't want to worry about the affairs of the harem.
"Oh, Your Majesty, aren't you going to take any more concubines?"
Empress Dowager He glanced at Tang Yueyao in some surprise, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident, okay, this method is okay, the emperor who can fool him will no longer expand the harem!
