Zhu Jingyuan took all the concubines to have lunch in the Qianqing Palace, and followed them to the future residence in the afternoon.

In the evening, I returned to the Qianqing Palace and spent the night with Liu Muyun.

The next morning, head to the Wenhua Hall to prepare for the emperor's daily work.

In the emperor's office, the scholars led by Lin Zexu and Niu Jian were already waiting here in advance.

The emperor's desk was also filled with courtiers.

Zhu Jingyuan knew that these recitals should be the recitals of the old ministers' resignation.

When Zhu Jingyuan came over today, he was originally going to deal with these omissions immediately, and then began to adjust the personnel arrangements.

However, after Lin Zexu saluted with the scholars led by Niu Jian, Lin Zexu first reported:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shen, the Great Sect Uncle, is in the waiting room, hoping to ask Your Majesty for instructions on the arrangements for the enthronement ceremony and the selection of the era name."

At the same time, Niu Jian also handed Zhu Jingyuan a copy of the music:

"This is the reciprocal ...... of the resignation of the great uncle"

At the time of the new emperor's accession to the throne, some of the highest-ranking ministers, even if they were not yet sixty years old, might have discorded with the emperor and be asked by the emperor to retire early.

Shen Fu knew that nine out of ten percent of him would not be required to retire, but he still made an appearance according to the rules.

Write a copy of the music and hand it in, and the emperor will send the music back, so that after going through the motions, the courtiers and the emperor will be at ease.

After listening to this, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly realized that the enthronement ceremony was not a trivial matter, and it would have been necessary to prepare many days in advance.

And if you don't plan to do it according to the traditional model, it will take longer to prepare.

This work is the work of the Ministry of Rites, and it is also the work of the great uncle.

Zhu Jingyuan asked Shen Fu to come in, and at the same time casually opened Shen Fu's recital and took a look.

After Shen Fu came in, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and handed the song back:

"Mr. Shen has worked hard all these years, and it stands to reason that I can't help but let Mr. have a good rest.

"But I really can't do without Mr. Shen, so I can only ask Mr. Shen to work hard for a few more years......"

Shen Fu knew that this was just going through the motions, so he didn't rub around in this place.

Directly took his forehead with both hands, and bowed respectfully:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister will do his best to do his job."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled, motioned for Shen Fu to sit down and speak, and asked the servant who stood to bring tea.

After Shen Fu sat down, he bowed his hand to Zhu Jingyuan again, and then directly said what he meant:

"Your Majesty, about the year name that will be changed next year, can you want the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart?"

According to the usual practice, the new emperor should change the yuan when he succeeded to the throne, and chose two auspicious characters for the year.

Zhu Jingyuan, the new emperor, can choose the era name by himself, or he can ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare a few for the emperor to choose.

Although Zhu Jingyuan was preparing to revise the calendar, he would completely change the traditional method of chronology.

Starting from the unification of the world by the First Emperor, a new imperial calendar was set up.

But the era name is still ready to continue to be used.

The imperial calendar, which spans 2,000 years, is used to reconstruct the general history books as a large-scale yardstick for the entire history of China.

The emperor's era name is used in daily life and is the standard for details in various historical periods in a short period of time.

At the same time, since Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, a normal emperor only chooses one era name at a time when he succeeds to the throne.

From then on, the era name had the role of referring to the emperor.

Referring to the emperor with a public era name can reduce the trouble of verbal evasion.

If neither he nor the emperor in the future chooses the era name, in order to avoid directly calling each emperor by name, most of the people will spontaneously take some messy nicknames.

Rather than be so passive, it is better for the official to continue to choose the era name on its own as the emperor's public code.

As for what to use for his era name, Zhu Jingyuan has already carefully considered it in his heart:

"The name of the year is 'Dagong', the road is also the road, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the ...... of faith and harmony"

Zhu Jingyuan originally subconsciously wanted to choose Datong.

The final sentence of the passage "The journey of the avenue, the world is the ...... of the public" is "it is said to be Datong".

It means that the previous words are all interpreting and introducing what is the "Datong" world.

Datong is a goal state, and the preceding words are its characteristics and the means to achieve it.

But Zhu Jingyuan later remembered that the era name Datong was used by Pu Yi.

The key is that he used it when he was in the puppet Manchurian.

Although there is no Qing Dynasty in this world, let alone Pu Yi and Pseudomanchu, the people in this world do not know about this matter.

But Zhu Jingyuan felt awkward when he thought about it.

So it was decided to change it to Grand Duke.

Zhu Jingyuan read an Internet called "Burying the Qing Dynasty Alive" in his previous life, in which the emperor Zhu Heqi used the era name of Dagong.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that the screaming was quite pleasant.

Dagong is the meaning of taking the selflessness of the Dagong and ruling for the public.

Datong is an ideal society bound by spontaneous lofty morality.

Corresponding to it is the well-off, that is, the orderly society constrained by laws and systems.

In fact, neither of them has the significance of public ownership or republican system in later generations.

The corresponding similar interpretations are the recreation of traditional classics by people in later generations according to their actual needs.

Of course, the Ming officials of this world will not have the corresponding understanding that the emperor wants to engage in "public ownership" and "republicanism" just because he chose the era name of the Grand Duke.

They can only instinctively feel that the emperor's purpose in choosing this era name is to continue to pay attention to moral construction.

It is to devote itself to the creation of a world of great harmony in which people are universally possessed of high moral qualities.

After Shen Fu listened to it, he also took it for granted, very directly, and praised it with some heartache:

"The Grand Duke is very good, ambitious, and suitable for the moment.

"In recent years, industry and commerce have developed rapidly, and the trend of fighting for wealth is not uncommon.

"There are even businessmen who use marriage events as a cover to evade taxes, which is really shameless.

"Wechen is in charge of cultural and educational affairs, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for this......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Don't blame yourself, Mr. Shen has done a good enough job in the position of Uncle Zong.

"10,000 people have 10,000 ideas, and I have never expected everyone in the world to be selfless.

"So I don't have the luxury of expecting that we can really build the world into a world of great harmony.

"But we can't just give up because we don't feel like we can do it.

"We still have to work towards this ideal goal, and strive to make me infinitely close to the world of Datong.

"That's why I chose the motivational Dagong instead of the idealized Datong.

"Da Zongbo should pay attention to the corresponding interpretation and guidance."

Shen Fu immediately nodded very seriously and agreed:

"Your Majesty, keep in mind Weichen."

Then the two began to discuss the enthronement ceremony.

In most cases, the actual ascension to the throne and the assumption of power by emperors and kings is usually very brief.

The edict of succession on the occasion of the emperor's dying is as simple as a sticky note, and it is the same logic.

If the old emperor dies, the legal heir will succeed directly before the spirit.

Accept the worship of major officials, and you will directly become the emperor.

For a kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day.

Then, choose an auspicious day to prepare and hold the grand ceremony.

Zhu Jingyuan is in this state now, he has inherited the identity of the emperor, and he is about to prepare for the official enthronement ceremony.

According to the tradition since the Renmu Dynasty, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor is fixed on the New Year.

The enthronement ceremony itself has long been a standard.

However, the new Emperor may have some additional ideas of his own.

In particular, Shen Fu was familiar with Zhu Jingyuan and knew that His Majesty the new emperor had never played cards according to common sense.

So you have to ask in advance.

Zhu Jingyuan really has additional ideas:

"I'm going to start working on the calendar now, and I'm going to start using the new calendar in the first year of A.D.

"The New Year's Day is placed in the beginning of spring, so the enthronement ceremony should also be moved to the beginning of spring.

"The official enthronement ceremony itself is still held in the New Fengtian Hall according to tradition.

"But prepare for two parades at the same time, one for the Army and Air Force, and one for the Navy.

"I am also going to invite the monarchs of the vassal states, as well as local and overseas celebrities, to attend the ceremony.

"At the same time, other members of the royal family and troops are invited to come and watch the ceremony."

When Shen Fu heard Zhu Jingyuan speak, he subconsciously had the idea that this was the case.

Then I was immediately shocked by Zhu Jingyuan's thoughts.

Holding a military parade and inviting more people to watch the ceremony, although it is not the traditional enthronement hall viewing operation.

However, the emperors after Emperor Shizu also occasionally held a military parade and a ship parade, and the Ministry of Rites was also experienced.

It's not such an outrageous thing, and it may be stressful to start preparing now, but it's still too late.

The military parade of the Ming Dynasty does not need to be strictly neatly walked.

Moreover, according to the rules set by Emperor Shizu, the military parade is the responsibility of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, and the civilian system is not allowed to interfere.

For Shen Fu, the most critical issue is the revision of the calendar.

In the eyes of traditional Ming intellectuals, the calendar can be regarded as the most important thing:

"Your Majesty, the matter of repairing the calendar is not trivial, it cannot be completed in a few months, and it may not be too late to start now."

Zhu Jingyuan explained to his father and grandfather, so he immediately understood Shen Fu's worries, and immediately reassured:

"Sir, don't be nervous, I want to revise the calendar, not start out of thin air.

"The people of Qin Tianjian have all kinds of ideas on weekdays, and some have relatively complete plans.

"I just had a couple of options in place.

"I'm just going to put it together and make some simple adjustments.

"I guess they will be able to do it in less than half a month.

"There's no need for a big toss at all.

"Otherwise, I would have suggested that my father start it early a few years ago.

"There is still half a year left to announce it downwards for revising the equipment for printing the imperial calendar in advance."

Shen Fu listened to these explanations and relaxed a little.

Shen Fu hadn't realized how subversive Zhu Jingyuan was preparing to make the new calendar.

Although Qin Tianjian did calculate the relevant data, he never actually considered making such a calendar.

However, Shen Fu is an old minister after all, and he is still cautious enough.

Although the Qintianjian is responsible for repairing the calendar, the publicity and promotion are the work of the Ministry of Rites and the Great Zongbo.

So Shen Fu instinctively urged a little:

"If that's the case, it's just in time.

"But when it comes to revising the calendar, it's always better to start preparing in advance.

"Why don't you call Qin Tianjian to discuss it directly?"

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:

"There's no hurry, let's first determine the adjustment of official positions, and then let people do these specific practices."

Shen Fu suddenly understood that this was what Zhu Jingyuan wanted to let his favorite person do:

"Then Weichen will retire first?"

Zhu Jingyuan agreed casually, and when he saw Shen Fu get up and leave, he looked at the notes on the table:

"Which ones are resigned?"

Niu Jian next to him immediately pushed the three stacks of music to Zhu Jingyuan:

"The first group is for civil officials, the second group is for military officials, and the third group is for the royal family and the imperial estate."

Zhu Jingyuan first took the recitals of the civil service system and opened them in turn for review and processing.

At the top of the list is Otsuka Zai Wang Tingzhen.

Then there is the great Situ Lu Yinpu, and then there is the great Sikou Zhu Maoju.

Zhu Jingyuan was originally going to let Wang Tingzhen and Lu Yinpu stay in office, so he opened the two of them and took a look, and then directly put them on the other side, ready to let the General Secretary go back.

Regarding Zhu Maoju, the great secretary of the sect Shen Fu, Zhu Jingyuan hesitated a little and chose to stay.

Zhu Maoju is a clan, and he also has the title of the king of the county, and his reputation in the clan is also good.

He cannot be considered a member of the regular bureaucracy.

Coupled with the prison personnel he selected, Liu Zhixin and Xu Minghui are not yet 50 years old.

Directly as a Si Kou is a little too high.

Let Zhu Maoju, like Wang Tingzhen, continue to be the chief secretary for a few years, and then retire to make it suitable for Xianzheng.

After making up his mind, Zhu Jingyuan directly continued to order:

"Transferred to Liu Zhi, the left chief of the Great Food Country, is the new secretary of the Criminal Department, and the trial of the Great Food Country is and Xu Minghui is the secretary of Dali Temple."

Zhu Jingyuan was originally a secretary of the ministry, and he knew the current situation of the secretary of the criminal department and the Dali Siqing, and knew that they should retire.

Later, when it comes to their recitals, just approve their retirement.

Then Zhu Jingyuan continued to look at the following recitals:

"Adjust the food domain to the left capital of the king to lead to Sima, in charge of the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Ministry of the Air Force."

Wang Yinzhi has been a big food country, although he is part-time, but he can be regarded as Zhu Jingyuan's own person.

At that time, he was the prefect of Kezhou (Crete), which was Zhu Jingyuan's private property.

is also because he was characterized by Zhu Jianyan as Zhu Jingyuan's person, so he has always held the dual official positions of Da Shiguo and the imperial court.

The subsequent promotion has been wandering around the Great Food Domain, and has been cooperating with the full-time officials of Zhu Jingyuan Great Food Country for a long time.

So he is indeed a member of Zhu Jingyuan's employment system.

The Wang family is a professional bureaucratic family, and Wang Yinzhi's father, Wang Niansun, also served as the secretary of the household department.

The two generations of the Wang family have a good impression in the minds of the three generations of emperors Zhu Zhongliang, Zhu Jianyan, and Zhu Jingyuan.

Now Sima of the Ming Dynasty is in charge of the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Ministry of the Air Force, which seems to be equivalent to the book of the Ministry of War before Chongzhen.

But there's actually a big difference.

At present, the core power of the three military departments under Sima is the power to transfer troops.

Of course, in fact, it was just the actual procedures for transferring troops in accordance with the emperor's orders.

The military orders produced must be signed and sealed by the emperor to be valid.

In addition to this, the day-to-day work is the filing of military budgets and the approval of officer promotions and appointments.

Therefore, it is neither very important nor absolute, and there are no absolutely important positions in the court.

The final decision-making power has been completely taken into the hands of the emperor.

Zhu Jingyuan confirmed Wang Yinzhi's appointment, and continued to review and approve the resignation:

"Liu Ruzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the position of Sikong, in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Communication, and was responsible for industry, engineering, science and technology, roads, ports, and airports."

Liu Luozhi once served as the governor of the Zuo Changshi Mansion of Dongyi State, and he was the de facto governor of Changdao.

At that time, it was when Zhu Jingyuan supervised the entire Yinzhou, so Liu Luozhi also served as Zhu Jingyuan's subordinate.

Zhu Jingyuan also directly gave orders to the other party, instructing them to deal with the Taixi people on Long Island.

It's just that after all, unlike Wang Yinzhi, he has not held a concurrent position in the Great Food Country directly under Zhu Jingyuan.

Therefore, he was able to continue to be promoted to the central court and became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

However, Liu Luozhi is now 60 years old, and it will be time to retire completely in two or three years.

Zhu Jingyuan now lets him continue to be a secretary, which means that he will be honored before retirement.

At the same time as Liu Ruizhi was appointed as Sikong, the following was followed by the appointment of two Shangshu:

"Wang Lai, the left attendant of the Ministry of Machinery, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering."

"Li Rui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Machinery, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Machinery."

Wang Lai and Li Rui are the two most familiar to Zhu Jingyuan among the engineering officials.

In the past five years, the two have always been very low-key in the spirit of not causing trouble to Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan's original idea was tossed to improve the existing design of the Ordnance Department.

The two have not been promoted in the past few years, but their rank has been promoted from the second rank.

Now Zhu Jingyuan directly promoted them to another level, and each of them is in charge of one department.

After two years of Liu Ruizhi's retirement, he will choose one of the two of them to be the commonplace.

"Xiao Jin'an, the political envoy of Guangdong, was promoted to a young master, in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water, and Taichang Temple, and was responsible for agriculture, water conservancy, heroic martyrs, meritorious service, supporting the army, and sacrifices."

When Zhu Jingyuan was the governor of the Lion City Prefecture and supervised the Nanyang and Tiannan regions, Xiao Jinan served as the political envoy of Malacca.

The two were superiors and subordinates of each other at that time, and the cooperation was very pleasant, and Xiao Jinan's ability was recognized by Zhu Jingyuan.

Xiao Jinan is indeed Zhu Jingyuan's person in politics, so he cannot be promoted to the Central Administration.

After the establishment of the Great Domain, he was transferred to Guangdong as a political envoy.

It sounds like the official position is still a political envoy, but after the reform of the region, the local political envoy has become a positive second grade.

Now it's just right to be directly promoted to the young master from the first grade.

"Ruan Yuan, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, was promoted to the rank of young master, in charge of the Qin Tianjian and the Taifu Temple, responsible for astronomy, meteorology, calendar, environment, resources, and transportation."

Ruan Yuan's identity is the same as Liu Ruizhi, when Zhu Jingyuan was in charge of Yinzhou, he served as the governor of the right Changshi of the Dongyi Kingdom, and the de facto governor of the Chesapeake Peninsula.

also because he did not directly serve by Zhu Jingyuan's side, he could be promoted to the central court normally later.

Now you can be promoted from Taifu Siqing to the corresponding Jiuqing Young Master.

"Chen Jian, the political envoy of Shandong, was promoted to Shaobao, in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tai Hospital, and Guanglu Temple, and was responsible for household registration, civil affairs, food, medicine, health, health, social security, and labor security."

Chen Jian's identity is similar to Xiao Jin'an, when Zhu Jingyuan was training in Edo, Chen Jian was the political envoy of Edo at that time.

The two are also superiors and subordinates of each other, and Chen Jian has also become Zhu Jingyuan's person politically.

Later, he was transferred to Shandong and served as a political envoy of Zheng Erpin.

Now it is just time to be promoted to one level to be a young bao.

In this way, the new Jiuqing candidates are all decided.

Four retained, five newly-appointed, but whether they are retained or not, most of them are their former subordinates, and the rest are not branded with obvious identity camps.

Among the Jiuqing, seven are from local origins, only Chen Jian is from Edo, Xiao Jinan is from the Lion City, and Edo and Lion City are now also from the Ming Dynasty.

However, except for Wang Tingzhen, the other eight people have overseas experience, among which Chen Jian and Xiao Jinan are regarded as working in their hometown, which was originally overseas, but later changed to local, which can be regarded as representatives of compromise.

Zhu Jingyuan plans to choose according to similar rules when he is appointed and dismissed by Jiuqing in the future, and then form a set of conventions.

To be a Jiuqing, you must have overseas service experience.

Because the situation overseas of Daming does have some obvious differences from the mainland.

And Jiuqing is also responsible for the emergency contact of an overseas region, and there may be misunderstandings if you don't understand the overseas situation.

This rule is necessary.
