Chapter 273: The Battle of Hanzhong Begins
The titles of the Mongolian leaders are not high, and after hearing that they went north to capture the white bear, white fox, white gull, etc., they can be crowned dukes, and they can get thousands of acres of land, and they all show eager eyes.
Just when people were recalling this holy decree, Tian Shouxin unfolded a holy decree again and read it aloud.
The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department was officially announced, and the status was the same as that of the Cabinet.
Gao Di, the fourth assistant of the cabinet, was assigned to the military aircraft department, but the first assistant of the military aircraft was not him, but Ni Yuanlu, Gao Di was only the second assistant, and Fan Jingwen was promoted to the third assistant of the military aircraft department.
Because of this transfer, there are still three people left in the cabinet, and there are also three people in the Military Aircraft Department, and there are two vacancies, which attracts the attention of the courtiers.
The ministers woke up from the surprise just now, saw the hope of entering the cabinet, and prepared to fight for the final place one by one.
At this point, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony officially ended, Chongzhen did not give anyone a chance to put his beak, handed over the sweeping work to the prince, and quickly returned to the inner palace.
Zhu Cihong was helpless, and shouted in his heart: "I also want to go back to rest!"
……
Time passed quickly, and the ministers had not yet recovered from the sacrifice ceremony, and the Chinese New Year's Eve had arrived.
Inside and outside the city of Jingshi are a festive atmosphere of the New Year, every household has pasted Spring Festival couplets, hung lanterns, children light firecrackers, drive away the New Year beasts.
Because of this year's bumper harvest, Chongzhen specially organized a celebration team such as a parade of floats and Yangge teams, and the street immediately became lively.
In the palace, it is also a lively scene.
Chongzhen invited the newly promoted nobles, important ministers of the imperial court and their families to the palace to participate in the New Year's dinner.
This is an unparalleled glory, no one will let go of this opportunity, especially now that the Jianyu has been destroyed, the treasury and the treasury have never been full, and the Chongzhen Emperor of Longyan Dayue will definitely give the reward of the feudal marquis.
Sure enough, Chongzhen prepared quite a lot of gold beans and silver beads, and constantly rewarded them, and the ministers smiled, not only because they got money, but also because they got the emperor's imperial gift, which is a matter of glory to the ancestors.
When they saw the emperor on the dragon chair, they thought of the panic of the destruction of the capital city in March, and then recalled the Chongzhen purging the nobles and old ministers and promoting them to the court, they all felt incredible, and they all sighed about their life experiences.
At this time last year, they were just unknown students, looking up at the many princes and ministers who were high above, thinking that it would be impossible for them to participate in the emperor's New Year's banquet in their lifetime.
Who would have thought that this year, he would step into the sky and occupy an important position and become a member of the power center of the Ming Dynasty.
While recalling the bits and pieces of his previous life, Zhu Youjian opened Chongzhen's memories before his death.
Although he has integrated the memories of the two lives, he is still influenced by Chongzhen from time to time.
Just like now, he looked at the newborn court, looked at the relatively young faces present, and thought about the big victory, he couldn't help but be excited.
I finally have the hope of Zhongxing Daming.
When the New Year's bell rang, the ministers congratulated Chongzhen on the New Year, Chongzhen rewarded gifts, and ended the New Year's banquet in a peaceful and joyful celebration.
But the New Year's activities are not over yet, whether it is Chongzhen, the crown prince, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, they all quickly rest and recover their strength, because two hours later, they will attend the big court meeting on the first day of the new year.
The Great Dynasty Meeting is not a small range of gatherings in the early dynasties, from the emperor to the seven-grade officials, they have to dress up to attend, especially the Great Dynasty Meeting on the first day of the New Year, which has received special attention, and all the officials in Beijing will go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.
The sky is bright, in front of the Huangji Palace, Chongzhen, the prince, and the Yongwang face the still biting winter wind and accept the worship of hundreds of officials.
Chongzhen looked at the majestic lineup of 2,000 civil and military officers, 1,000 guards and eunuchs, and thought of the super court meeting of more than 10,000 people during the Taizu period, and felt a little yearning in his heart.
After the ministers bowed, the poor royal relatives came forward to congratulate them, followed by the nobles, then the officials, one after another, until the sun was shining before all the ceremonies were completed.
After the New Year's greetings, Chongzhen led the crown prince and King Yong to the Temple of Heaven to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, praying for good weather and prosperity in the coming year.
This year is unlike any other
, the number of nobles who participated in the ceremony was very small, and none of the vassal countries arrived because of the war.
But no one was discouraged, and they believed that in ten years, three years, Burma, Thailand, and other Pangs would send envoys again.
Chongzhen was much more optimistic than them, and he believed that in three years at the latest, not only all the vassal parliaments of Nanyang would come to Jingshi, but even those countries in the West would send people to congratulate the New Year.
The ceremony of the sacrifice ceremony is more complicated, which makes Chongzhen very helpless, but this era attaches importance to this thing, and he can only be patiently at the mercy of others, until more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it is considered to be the end of the ceremony and go to the palace.
A few days after the first day of the new year, there are rituals such as worshipping ancestors, worshiping the god of the stove, spring ploughing, etc., the whole Chongzhen constantly doubts life, Zhu Cihong is also secretly bitter, 11-year-old Yongwang Zhu Cizhi is even more tired and bent over, yawning all day.
After a Spring Festival, Chongzhen already had the urge to abdicate and make way for Xian.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Chongzhen and his children got together for dinner, and Princess Changxing rarely went out, sitting silently at the dining table, and accompanying her father and brother to eat.
Looking at the gobbling up King Yong, and looking at the prince who has grown up, Chongzhen is very pleased.
"Hey, if it weren't for the official wedding ceremony, Zhou Yingluo should have been seated, but it's a pity that there is too much red tape, which delays the good time."
Chongzhen had a big head when he thought of the big wedding ceremony given by the Ministry of Rites, and complained that it was not easy for the emperor to get married.
Just when Chongzhen was thinking about how to marry his daughter-in-law, Tian Shouxin crept in, holding a note in his hand, looking at the style, it was a battle report.
At this time, it must be a big deal for Tian Shouxin to interrupt his family banquet.
Chongzhen immediately gathered his spirit, took the battle report, and read it.
"Father, what's wrong?" Seeing Chongzhen's solemn face, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but ask.
Chongzhen didn't speak, and gave him the battle report.
Zhu Cihong looked at it for a long time, and then frowned: "This Azig is a little unauthentic, he actually attacked the thief during the New Year."
Chongzhen listened and laughed, even in ancient times, even when there was a war, the enemy and us would tacitly set aside time for the New Year.
Like Azig, taking advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's gathering for the New Year to sneak attack and surround other people's cities, it is indeed very shameful.
Chongzhen hurriedly ate, took Zhu Cihong to the Heart Cultivation Palace, stood in front of a huge sand table, and pointed with his hand.
"Look, this is the county seat of Xixiang!"
"This is a mountain basin, and if it weren't for the thieves' carelessness, Azig wouldn't have been able to surround it."
……
Just when Chongzhen's father and son were discussing the battle situation in Hanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, who was trapped in Xixiang County, was furious!
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet! Our outer city will soon be overwhelmed!"
Liu Wenxiu replied cautiously: "Presumably, the second brother is waiting for the fighter."
