Chapter 366: Reward

On June 17, Zhu Di paid homage to the tomb of filial piety.

The huge guard of honor stayed at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, and Zhu Di, who was dressed in the robe of a vassal king, solemnly bowed down before the filial piety, the last time he came, he also needed to save his life, and now, he came to inherit the throne.

The guards responsible for maintaining order guarded every corner of Zhongshan Mountain, and the dense crowd of people rushed to watch the mausoleum, everyone knew that after the sacrifice was completed, the Ming Dynasty... It's time for a new emperor.

Since it was a sacrifice before ascending the throne, the hundred officials naturally had to follow, the green smoke of the incense candles shrouded the entire Zhongshan Mountain, and in the countless discussions and praises, Zhu Di completed the ceremony, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit card silently, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

The guard of honor set off again and began to march towards the palace, Gu Huai, who was riding a horse and leading the troops to open the way, looked at the faces of the people on the side of the road, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, four years ago, when he just opened his eyes in that small building, how could he have thought that one day he would walk on the streets of Jinling with such a posture?

Anyway, this stage is done, so what about after that? What will Daming look like in the future, Zhu Di and himself in the future... What will it look like?

There is no answer.

The guard of honor entered the palace, everything for the enthronement ceremony had already been prepared, the continuous palace city was waiting for a new master, and the era of Jianwen, like fireworks, ended after just four years.

The new dynasty is coming, although the enthronement ceremony is a little shabby because of the haste, although the people are still a little uneasy, all the officials have their own thoughts, and all places outside Jinling are still waiting, and there are no four Yi to congratulate and the kings to come to the dynasty, but it is a new beginning after all.

Fengtian Palace, has changed into a dragon robe, wearing a winged crown Zhu Di sat majestically on the throne that originally belonged to Zhu Yunwen, accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, and now the officials who are still in Beijing have gathered in the hall, some old officials looked at Zhu Di above, and seemed to see the Hongwu Emperor who created the entire empire in a trance, because they... It's so similar.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who drove out the Tartars and restored China, was also sitting on the dragon chair at this age, Zhu Di and him are so similar, similar in appearance, similar in spirit, and that self-confidence is even more like the son of heaven who coerced Hongwu Yu Lie and seriously inherited the throne to do the next career.

Zheng He, who was appointed as the chief eunuch of the central official and ascended to the highest official position of the internal official in one step, held the edict, and on the other side, Huai'en, who was also promoted to the chief eunuch, held the jade seal with both hands, held it high above his head, and the hundred officials knelt down with a brush, and the mountain shouted long live.

Hundreds of officials congratulated, the ceremony has begun, the Yishan crown on Zhu Di's head shook slightly, and he raised his right hand slightly: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

After the three kneeling and nine bowing gifts, the hundred officials got up from the ground one after another, divided into two columns, civil and military, according to the usual practice, Zhu Di should stand up at this time and pull almost, such as being modest and saying that he is light and thin, and then reluctantly succeeded to the throne, he is not enough, and he needs to be assisted by hundreds of officials, and then he has to look forward to the future, and talk about his own philosophy of governance.

But Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen are obviously two styles, he didn't even have the action to get up and speak, these red tape, he didn't want to do it at all, and he didn't want to use these rituals and etiquette to toss himself and the hundred officials into a daze, in his opinion, since he has ascended the throne, then he will do it, what's the use of saying it?

In a sense, the saying that sons are like Lao Tzu really makes sense.

Zhu Di waved his hand to Zheng He, who was born and died with him and fought a hundred battles, Zheng He walked to the bottom of the stairs with the edict, slowly unfolded Zhu Di's edict on his enthronement, and read it.

After Fang Xiaoru refused to write the edict of enthronement, the Ministry of Rites proposed several candidates, all of whom were talented and famous civil officials, Zhu Di couldn't choose after looking at it for a long time, and finally Gu Huai saw a familiar name, so he recommended it to Zhu Di, and finally let this petty official who was only nine grades get the honor of drafting the edict of enthronement.

Xie Jin.

The edict is very long, but the content can be called splendid, Xie Jin uses the most concise and powerful language to tell how Emperor Jianwen was bewitched by traitorous ministers, changed the law of the ancestors, and caused chaos in the country, and then how the oppressed King Yan was forced to raise troops and make trouble, and now he has ascended the throne and changed back to the ancestral system, the meaning of these words is summed up that the current Yongle Emperor Zhu Di inherited the throne of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and he did not recognize what Emperor Jianwen had done in the past four years.

This decree overturned the legitimacy of Zhu Yunwen's rule, and changed the name of the fourth year of Jianwen to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, and the first year of Yongle began from the next year, that is to say, the name of the four-year Jianwen was not recognized.

This punch made everyone dizzy, no one expected Zhu Di to be so ruthless, since he inherited the throne from his son Zhu Yuanzhang, he simply overthrew everything Zhu Yunwen did.

But it's a good thing to change back to the old system after all, Zhu Yunwen has been tossing and turning in the past few years, and in the end, isn't even the country gone?

After reading the edict on the throne, the hall quieted down, and all the officials were relieved, thinking that the fire of the new official was over, and the next thing was to worship the ancestors and worship the ancestors.

This edict is about rebuilding the "Taizu Record", that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's biography, this matter seems to be a trivial matter, but it is very important, because it is a record of Zhu Yuanzhang's life, and it is the conclusion of the descendants on Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin.

Obviously, Zhu Di is very dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's "Taizu Record", writing a book is more subjective, it is estimated that Zhu Yunwen wrote in the book how the kings were domineering, how they harmed the people, how Zhu Yuanzhang doted on his grandson, and in order to let his grandson succeed smoothly, he wanted to cut the feudal domain or something.

Is this okay? This version obviously does not meet Zhu Di's requirements, so he needs a Taizu record that is more suitable for raising troops and making it difficult, such as writing Zhu Yunwen as a faint monarch who steals the throne and persecutes the kings.

Even he himself needed a more prominent origin.

Zheng He's voice echoed above the hall, and all the officials were stunned, Zhu Di was so resolute and so anxious! There is no bit of vanity in the whole enthronement ceremony, and there is no problem that the reader can't say for a long time, it is two heavy punches, and some officials look up uncertainly again, this style... Are you sure it's not the first emperor sitting on it?

After reading the second edict, Zheng He's voice was already a little hoarse, but before it was finished, he took out the third holy decree, and this holy decree was an arrangement for personnel.

Obviously, this is what the officials are most concerned about, and the hundred officials suddenly perked up, and many officials and generals of the Beiping department who were standing on the side even pricked up their ears.

At the beginning of the holy decree, the funeral arrangements for Emperor Jianwen, the queen and the crown prince were arranged, but because the rule of Emperor Jianwen was not recognized, the burial ceremony was carried out as the crown prince, which was regarded as an explanation to an official who was close to Zhu Yunwen, and it was also Zhu Di's display of benevolence to himself, but what worried the officials was that Zhu Di did not even give Zhu Yunwen a nickname.

After arranging Zhu Yunwen, the next thing is to arrange the kings, Zhu Di himself started under the banner of Jingnan, and naturally he can't be mean to the kings, the name of the king of Hunan who burned himself was "戾", Zhu Di changed it to "dedication", and the other kings were also reinstated, but the fief has not been decided for the time being, and another arrangement will be made after the enthronement ceremony.

The kings came out to thank him, and the hundred officials watched with their eyes, and before they could taste it, the main event came, and under the kings, it was the rewards and arrangements of the ministers.

First of all, there is a Beiping official who has the merit of the dragon, and the first meritorious man, naturally fell to the first general of the Yan army, when Zhu Di in Dongchang was under siege, he desperately rescued Zhang Yu who was trapped in the siege and died, after all, the person is dead, and the reward is naturally higher.

The second meritorious hero was the first to advocate the difficulty of appeasement, led the troops to fight, stabilized the place, and worked diligently for four years to confer the title of Jingguo Gong.

The third is Zhu Neng, Feng Chengguogong, and the fourth is Qiu Fu, Feng Qi Guogong.

The public furniture of these four countries is Fengtianjing, it is difficult to push the sincerity of Xuanli, and the military ministers are specially entered into the Ronglu doctor, the right pillar country, and the food Lu is 2,500 stones, and the descendants are hereditary.

Under the duke, there is the marquis, in addition to posthumously sealing Tan Yuan as the Marquis of Chong'an, in addition to the Zhuang Festival, there are also thirteen marquises, Zhang Xin, who reported to Zhu Di to the imperial court, and Gu Cheng, who really decided to join Zhu Di in the first war, are among them.

Then eleven more earls were sealed, and this continuous reward made the breath of the court officials a little heavy, because next, it must be a reward for Jianwen's old ministers.

It's just that when the first person's name was pronounced, everyone blew up, because this old minister of Jianwen, who was awarded a reward, was actually Li Jinglong!

The duke remains unchanged, the left pillar country, the prince and the prince, and the increase of 1,000 stones, or is it hereditary?

Hundreds of officials are in an uproar, is there any reason for this? Just because he opened the city gates?

But Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, only swept his eyes coldly, and those officials who fried the pot had to swallow their anger and continue to listen, and then Ru Chang, who was the first to advocate persuasion, just because he was the first to persuade Zhu Di to ascend the throne, he was awarded the title of Fengtianyi Yunshou Wenchen, Doctor Ronglu, Zhuguo, Prince Taibao, and the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the loyal uncle.

Many of the officials' back molars were about to be crushed.

Such a big reward, just because he said a word, it seems unreasonable, but Zhu Di also has his considerations, rewarding Jianwen's old ministers is conducive to quickly stabilizing the situation and calming people's hearts, what he wants to express is only one signal: I will not forget any of those who have followed me; Now I support me, I am not to blame in the past, I will not treat anyone equally, and I will never treat anyone badly.

Therefore, some Beiping officials cast puzzled eyes, and he could only sigh secretly, and he didn't know.

Gu Huai, who was standing in the queue of generals, held his breath, looked at his toes, and then looked at the sunlight shining in from outside the Brilliant Golden Palace, and was a little incredulous:

"Guogong..."
