On November 15, the 34th year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was Shuntianfu.

The delegation of the Ming peace talks arrived in Beijing.

"They have won a victory that they have not achieved on the battlefield, and their return is a triumph."

According to the instructions of the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang, the Ministry of Rites organized a welcome ceremony of the highest level, like a ceremony to welcome the victorious troops returning to the dynasty.

After the delegation disembarked in Tianjin, it transferred to a special train to enter Beijing.

But instead of taking the train directly into the old city as when I left, I got off at the South City station.

All the delegates spent two days at the post station in the south of the new town.

Then ride in an open-top car prepared by the Ministry of Rites and march through the main road of the new town.

This is actually the key stage of the whole liturgy.

The people of the new city welcomed them on both sides of the street.

The achievements of the delegation have long been disseminated among the people through various newspapers.

The impact of these achievements on their current lives has also been carefully analyzed and disseminated.

There is no end to orders, higher and higher wages, more space for immigrants to break through, and Huangzhuang has begun to recruit immigrants again,

are directly related to this negotiation.

The industries that were opened up before the peace talks were even more of a vast land that was obtained through negotiations, and the vast market was directly fed with maturity.

The value of the first batch of crab eaters has increased several times.

Now I remember that the latecomers who entered the market have also begun to make money.

No one is not grateful, no one is not welcome, and the whole ceremony does not need to be greeted by someone and does not need to set off the atmosphere.

On both sides of the road, in the windows of the street, and on the roofs of houses, there were crowds of onlookers and cheers.

The atmosphere of the whole new town is extremely warm.

The members of the clan, the officials of the court, and the representatives themselves who came back were also very excited.

At the beginning of the peace talks, everyone originally thought that this might be the first time that the Ming Dynasty did not have a victory, and it might even cede land.

So much so that everyone dared to mention peace talks, but no one was willing to preside over them.

As a result, Zhu Jingyuan, a young emperor, was asked to speak and serve as the plenipotentiary representative of the peace talks.

originally thought that this emperor and grandson were going to take the blame, so that the old emperor made an exception and directly sealed a prince, and everyone had no opinion.

So much so that Zhu Jingyuan asked Daming to cooperate with the negotiations to make reforms, and all officials and clans also accepted.

In the end, the young emperor and grandson talked about a big victory.

All the projects of the reform have also become exceptionally smooth because of the smooth negotiations.

Now the whole Ming Dynasty is in a state of blazing fire.

A new era is opening.

Amid the cheers on both sides of the road, the convoy of the peace talks delegation passed through the entire Jingshi New City and entered the old city from Yongding Gate.

Then he turned directly into the Temple of Heaven.

The official ceremony is carried out directly at the Temple of Heaven, which is actually a special ritual to worship the heavens.

Because the emperor and the Ministry of Rites believed that the merits of the delegation needed to be told to heaven.

The specific merits of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor in this peace negotiation have been told to the heavens when Mount Tai sealed the Zen.

It is now a matter of dedication to the delegation.

But everyone was very excited, and their merits this time could be specially sacrificed to the heavens and told the heavens to know.

When the tedious ceremony was over, the old emperor returned to the Forbidden City with hundreds of civil and military officials and entered the Fengtian Palace.

The old emperor sat on the upper seat, and the hundred officials sat on both sides.

The old emperor ordered the cabinet scholars to come out and announce the decree.

The members of the delegation, who had just returned from overseas, thought they were going to be rewarded.

As a result, the old emperor announced the edict of Zen.

The second son of the emperor, Zhu Jianyan, was ordered to become the emperor immediately, and Zhu Zhongliang himself was promoted to the throne as the emperor according to the custom.

The courtiers who had just returned were a little stunned, but the cultural relics officials who stayed in Beijing had already expected it.

Since Zhu Jianyan replaced Zhu Jianfeng as the secretary of the ministry, everyone understood that the old emperor was going to change his heir.

Then there are fewer and fewer things that the old emperor is directly in charge of, which shows that after this replacement, power will be completely decentralized.

Especially after the return of the Feng Chan ceremony, the old emperor completely ignored things.

At the same time, the end of the year is approaching, and the timing of the return of the peace talks delegation is a more appropriate time to announce its abdication.

In this way, preparations were made in the last month of the year, and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor was held on the first day of the new year, and the yuan was officially changed on the first day of the new year.

This was a practice that was formed in the time of Emperor Sejo.

Zhu Jianyan first went to the apse to change the emperor's robe, and after coming out, he saluted the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang and succeeded to the throne in front of the old emperor.

Then the new emperor Zhu Jianyan accepted the worship of civil and military officials, and Zhu Zhongliang left briskly and returned to the harem.

Zhu Jianyan took all the officials, bowed down to send Zhu Zhongliang out of the hall, and officially sat in Zhu Zhongliang's original position.

Today's simple ceremony is not an official enthronement ceremony.

Now it was only a direct transfer of power from the emperor, and under the supervision and instructions of the previous emperor, the new emperor began to act as emperor.

After the completion of the enthronement ceremony on the first day, the era of the new emperor was officially begun.

Zhu Jianyan sat in the place where he had looked up countless times, looking condescendingly at the officials on the left and right, feeling surging and apprehensive.

His family knows his own affairs, and most of his throne is earned by his precious son......

After Zhu Jianyan sat down in his position, he began to reward the returning delegation.

First of all, Zhu Jianfeng, the representative of the clan, although he is not present now, he is theoretically the highest status.

Zhu Jianfeng is already a prince, and of course there is no way to improve his title.

Zhu Jianyan could only give him the ownership of the land and the right to dividends in the Huangzhuang according to the practice after the Renwu Dynasty.

After the re-establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shizu instituted stricter land control and recovery mechanisms.

Emperor Shizu stipulated that all land in the world belonged to the Ming Emperor.

Half of the farmland obtained from the reclamation goes to the cultivators, and half to the imperial village controlled by the emperor.

When all the land and farmland that has been cultivated, rewarded, and ancestral is to be sold, the Huangzhuang has the right of first refusal.

That is to say, all the new farmland that has been cleared out of the wasteland, and all the large and small land transactions, must go through the procedures here in Huangzhuang.

Those who violate the preemptive right of Huangzhuang and trade land privately will be directly confiscated once discovered.

The current land annexation of the Ming Dynasty is very complete, but most of it has been annexed to the emperor.

The Ming Emperor was the largest landowner in the Ming Dynasty, holding nearly half of the developed land in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time owning all the undeveloped land.

The land awarded by the emperor to the clan could be used to build a holiday estate, rent it out for money, or sell it.

But it can only be sold to the emperor or the royal consortium.

The right to dividends is to designate one or several Huangzhuang to pay dividends of up to 30% in the next 30 years.

The basis of this dividend ratio is not the amount of dividends from all the income of the imperial bank, but the amount of dividends in the part that should have been distributed to the emperor.

The emperor took out up to 30% of the dividends he received and distributed them to the designated meritorious clans.

Zhu Jianyan was east of Tongzhou in the east of Beijing, and divided 100 square kilometers from the land of Huangzhuang as Zhu Jianfeng's reward.

In addition, 30% of the royal dividends will be given to the royal family in the next 15 years.

As for Zhu Jingyuan, the leader of the real peace talks, Zhu Jianyan did not directly reward him, and skipped it for the time being.

It's not that Zhu Jianyan is reluctant to give his son a reward, but he wants to discuss directly with his son and ask this kid what he wants.

Then he was directly promoted from the status of Honglu Temple Shaoqing to the main position of Honglu Temple, and at the same time got the title of earl.

Other high-ranking officials have also been promoted by one level, and many middle- and lower-level officials have been directly promoted by two levels.

And this promotion is just the beginning.

After Zhu Jianyan's enthronement ceremony, there will be a batch of large-scale promotions.

At that time, it will not only be the reward of the peace talks, but also a large number of middle and high-level officials will have the opportunity to be promoted.

The courtiers of the same era of the old emperor would retire with the old emperor unless the two generations of emperors specifically retained them.

If the new emperor's brother served in the court, he would also be directly removed from all existing actual positions and transferred to the Zongren Yuan.

In this way, a large number of positions of real power will be vacated in the court, and the new emperor can directly arrange the people he once liked.

At the same time, the team that served in the local government can be summoned to the Beijing division and arranged to the position where it is needed.

The entire court will quickly change blood, so that the new emperor can quickly grasp the real power.

The reward for the peace talks is over, and today's dynasty is over.

The princes and ministers all left the palace beamingly.

A small number of ministers stayed behind to report some special news directly to the emperor and present some special letters.

Shen Fu took Zhu Jingyuan's three letters and presented them to his former boss, the current monarch, Zhu Jianyan:

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from His Royal Highness Prince Dashi to the Emperor, His Majesty, and Mrs. He."

Zhu Jianyan was obviously a little surprised.

Obviously, there is a telegram to use, but this kid still writes letters......

Let the guards check it and take it over, let Shen Fu go back to rest, and go to the apse to find his father by himself.

Zhu Zhongliang, the old emperor who has become the emperor, was also very surprised when he heard that Zhu Jingyuan had written a letter.

I took my own letter and read it at the beginning, then turned to look at my son's letter.

Zhu Jianyan was also reading his letter, and he didn't know what his father's mentality was, so he subconsciously asked:

"Father...... What's wrong? ”

Zhu Zhongliang said in surprise:

"This kid didn't make the same ...... in the opening greeting for you and me."

Zhu Jianyan didn't understand what his father's thinking was about, and felt that the way of thinking of their grandfather and grandson was different from ordinary people.

Zhu Jianyan didn't know how to answer, but Zhu Zhongliang asked himself:

"It must have been ghostwritten."

Zhu Jianyan subconsciously said:

"This is Jingyuan's own handwriting......"

Zhu Zhongliang said as a matter of course:

"That is to let the book be written, and he copied it again."

Zhu Jianyan was speechless:

"Father Emperor...... This greeting is not the point, the point is on the things he mentioned.

"Should he be allowed to build a navy in the Great Food Country, or even ...... What about the Air Force? ”

Zhu Zhongliang waved his hand directly, and said while continuing to read the letter:

"Now that you are the emperor, you decide for yourself, don't ask me everything, I want to start a health ...... now"

Zhu Jianyan was even more speechless:

"Then the father, you rest first, and the sons and daughters will go back to the palace first, and bring back Jingyuan's letter from his mother......"

This time the old emperor did not deviate again, nodded lightly and said:

"I'll move to the palace outside the city in the past few days, and I won't come back if there is nothing particularly big, and you can also prepare to move into the palace."

Zhu Jianyan bowed down and promised:

"The retainers obeyed."
