Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi and others finally got the approval of Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, although Ma Shiying objected, but the Jingbei army was about to overwhelm the border, and was eager to support the Gui Domain, so he had to approve this plan.

On the first day of the fourth month, after being finally recognized by all forces in the southern capital, King Gui's car finally arrived at Yanziji outside the southern capital.

Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Han Zanzhou, the eunuch who guarded the town, immediately began to clean up the imperial city after King Gui arrived in Yanziji, requisitioned thousands of people from Nanjing to clean the imperial city, and ordered the Ministry of Works to redecorate the imperial city.

The main gates and main streets are lit up with lights, and the joy is incomparable. Those officials who were relegated to the southern capital of the former Chongzhen Dynasty were also happy, like the New Year, hundreds of people gathered at the city gate every day, just to see the face of His Royal Highness the Prison State.

The official position of the superintendent of the country should be customized by the imperial court, and the southern capital is one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, although the status is not as good as Shenjing, but in the end, it is the capital of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the officials in the city who are familiar with the former Ming canonical system are grasping a large handful, and there is no one available at all, and there are Zhou Yanru, Jiang Guangyue and other Donglin leaders, and any mistakes can be corrected in time.

The next day, King Gui's car drove to Zhengyangmen, Wang Duo, Zhou Yanru, Fujian General Zheng Hongkui and the Southern Capital Lords represented by Xu Yunjue, Duke of Wei, went out of the city to drive and respectfully ask King Gui to take the position of supervising the country.

"Ministers, don't be polite, the name of the Ma rebel army is the official army, it is really a rogue, and now by the order of King Yan, the great plundering of Huguang and the vast place, lonely in Hengyang is three shocks a day, this is not for the throne, but to go to the east of Zhejiang to cast the king of Lu, for a place to live and live, the position of the prison country, lonely can not bear."

According to the regulations of the imperial court, all the emperor succeeds to the unification, or the regent of the supervising country, must be asked three times and let three times, King Gui is the seventh son of the Wanli Emperor, naturally he also understands this truth, in the sound of the mountain, opened the sedan curtain on the chariot, and earnestly performed a circle salute to the officials of the southern capital, and resolutely disagreed with the position of the superintendent.

Jiang Guang said and kowtowed again: "The world is so broken, His Royal Highness does not come out, what is the common people?" Please also ask Your Highness for mercy. ”

Zhu Changying resigned again: "Mr. Jiang quickly invited, lonely and thin, I am afraid that he will not be expected by the world, the first emperor has his own heirs, why don't you find the prince and inherit the orthodoxy of the emperor." ”

"His Royal Highness is the heir of the emperor, can he sit and watch the world fall into the hands of traitors? The ministers knew that His Royal Highness was benevolent and virtuous, and now the prince was moved, and the prince was killed. ”

Zhou Yanru, the former cabinet assistant of the Chongzhen Dynasty, came out of the crowd and once again asked Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, to be the prisoner of the country, and one of the two sides said that the Jingbei Army was coerced by the remnants of the Liukou to cause trouble, and the other said that the true and false of the Son of Heaven Yongli in Beijing were difficult to distinguish, but between the words, it confirmed the unreasonable law of the Beijing court, and it was the false edict of Li Xingzhi, the thief of the country.

"Alas...... Only sparse and shallow, I am afraid that it is difficult to be the supervisor of the country, but the world is rotten to this point, alone as the blood of the ancestors, can only be reluctantly difficult, to eliminate the rebel army, find the prince, lonely when immediately return to power, the crime of being good at dictatorship, the crime is alone, but also ask all the ministers and Lonely, work together, punish the national thief, and restore my emperor Ming Zhengzheng. ”

Between everyone singing and harmonizing, Zhu Changying finally agreed to the matter of supervising the country.

Jiang Guangyue, Gao Hongtu and others were overjoyed, and they wanted to enter the palace with King Gui's car and do the gift of supervising the country, so as to divide the merits of support as soon as possible.

Qian Qianyi pushed everyone away, bowed down in front of the Gui Fan's car, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness entered the court first?" Sacrifice to Lingye first? "Grain roots

Qian Qianyi's words reminded a group of officials and nobles who wanted to be knighted and knighted, and there was a huge difference in political significance between first paying homage to the Tomb of Filial Piety and entering the city first and ascending the throne and then paying homage to the Tomb of Filial Piety. If you first pay homage to the filial piety tomb and then enter the city to ascend the throne, it is to report to the ancestors and declare to the world that King Gui has won the throne, which is equivalent to becoming an ancestor on the same day; However, if he ascends the throne first and then pays homage to the tomb of filial piety, this shows that King Gui's regime is disloyal and unfilial, which is very unfavorable to the legitimacy and legitimacy of King Gui ascending the throne and claiming the emperor in the future.

Zhou Yanru also came back to his senses, he personally took charge of the affairs of the prison country, that is, he wanted to use this matter to integrate the southern forces to fight against the Jingbei army that might go south, as the main envoy of the plan to assassinate Li Xingzhi, he knew that once the Jingbei army crossed the river, his nine clans were afraid that they would immediately lock up the Jingshi, so he forgot to worship the filial piety tomb, which would quickly excuse himself: "Your Highness entered the city to worship the mausoleum of Taizu." ”

Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa also reacted at this time, and they also knelt on the ground and respectfully asked King Gui to worship the filial piety tomb.

The onlookers of the literati, the military and the civilians saw the officials crowding around the car and driving straight to Zhongshan, and they also knelt down one after another, shouting long live the mountain, and followed the car to the direction of Zhongshan.

After worshipping the filial piety mausoleum, King Gui drove through the Zhengyang Gate into the palace, went to the Sheji altar, ascended the throne, and performed the gift of supervising the country.

King Gui then invited from the ministers to formally ascend the altar to worship the heavens, supervise the country and call the system, when the ceremony of telling the heavens, in the morning, there are a priest set up incense on the altar of the community, set up a big music to ring the bell and drum The palace of the superintendent is dressed in crown clothes on the altar of the community, and the civil and military officials are dressed in court clothes around the altar of the community, and they bow eight times.

On both sides of the altar are more than 1,000 Jingnan Army directly under the direct subordinate, one by one holding a golden gourd, an axe, dignified and majestic, as for those golden gourds, they are all wooden, painted with gold paint.

After the sacrifice of the prison country was completed, the ministers bowed down one after another, wishing His Royal Highness the prison country a thousand years old.

King Gui immediately appointed Shi Kefa, the former governor of Fengyang, as a scholar of the East Pavilion University and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites in the name of the superintendent, and entered the cabinet to do business; Ma Shiying was reappointed as the governor of Fengyang, and Jiang Yueguang, the former Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Duo, the former scholar of the Ministry of Rites, both of whom were also scholars of the East Pavilion University. With Zhang Shenyan as the secretary of the ministry, Liu Zongzhou was summoned as the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace.

Zhou Yanru, the former chief assistant of the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty, was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Qian Qianyi, a meritorious hero, was the secretary of the household department, Lu Zhenfei was the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Lu Daqi was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Fujian, was awarded the Marquis of Pingnan, Liu Liangzuo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the former general soldier of Luzhou, was awarded the title of Dongpingbo, and Li Fang, the general soldier of Anqing and the former general soldier of Sizhou, was reappointed as the chief soldier of Zhenjiang and guarded the southern capital.

After all, Zhu Changying is only in charge of the country at the moment, and the first assistant of the cabinet can only be demoted and appointed, and at the same time, he can encompass the nobles of Nandu and the general soldiers of Nandu.

After the ceremony of supervising the country, Xu Yunjue, the duke of Wei, and Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, presented the treasures of the prison that had been prepared for a long time, and led the officials of the southern capital to call for a thousand years of life to Zhu Changying Mountain.

After Han Zanzhou took over the jade seal for Gui Fan, King Gui said loudly: "Last year, Shandong rebel army entered Beijing, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the emperor was great, the lonely virtue was shallow, and it was unbearable to be heavy, but the officials invited it, and they were lonely and afraid that there was no owner in the sea, and the Ming Society was declining, so the power was in charge of the important affairs of the military state, in order to find the blood of the Son of Heaven, all the monarchs must work together to defeat the rebel army, going south in the near future, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the society, the lonely intention is to send officials to Liao, borrow the strong soldiers of the East Captives, and save the world and the generals! ”
