Chapter 227: Enthronement and Becoming Emperor
The day after Chu Hao's accession to the throne was set for the day after tomorrow, and now that the affairs of the victims in the capital had not been resolved, he ordered everything to be simple and not extravagant and wasteful.
The use of the nobles in the palace should also be simplified, and the monthly service should be halved.
Before the abolition of the emperor, he was absurd and unreasonable, and he had to draft and accept concubines at every turn. There are too many concubines in the harem, not to mention 3,000 people.
These concubines all eat white rice, and raising so many concubines of the abolished emperor, Chu Hao is not a big wrongdoer. He ordered all these concubines to go back to their parents' homes, leaving no one behind.
The new emperor is full of deterrence, no better than the abolished emperor, the new emperor is not beautiful, these concubines can't say anything, some of the concubines have backers, and it is not a good way out to go back.
It's better than staying in the deep palace and dying of old age, the new emperor will not accept them, the concubines of the abolished emperor.
Even if the mother's family has no concubines, they have not collected a lot of money in the palace over the years, and the abolished emperor is generous, and being happy is the reward of flowing water.
The concubines took out the treasures they had obtained over the years, as well as the silver they had saved, out of the palace, and sold the treasures to buy some land. That life is also rich and good.
There is no need to intrigue in the harem, if it is good, most of the concubines would like the new emperor to let them out of the palace.
When the ministers heard that the new emperor had vacant the harem, it was to save food and clothing in the palace, so that there would be more silver to relieve the victims. All the officials were touched.
Some ministers offered to donate disaster relief money to share the worries of the new emperor, and the people did their part.
There are ministers taking the lead, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty below can only follow, striving to leave a good impression on the new emperor.
Chu Hao instructed the household squire to write down how much disaster relief money each official had donated and make a breakdown.
There are many important things for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and disaster relief is one of them.
The new emperor made public the letter written by the deposed emperor and instructed the chief eunuch to read it out in front of the Manchu civil and military officials.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and they all knew some ridiculous things they had done before the abolition of the emperor.
General Jiang Lao was previously saddled with the stigma of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but in fact, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China knew it in their hearts. I don't believe that General Jiang will do this. It's just that the ministers of the DPRK and China are all elites, and if you think about it a little, you know that there must be a deposed emperor behind it.
The military power in the hands of General Jiang aroused the suspicion of the abolished emperor, and the Jiang family had a high reputation in the capital.
At that time, it was not that the minister who did not have a head iron advised the abolition of the emperor to support General Jiang, especially when General Jiang Lao was forced to die on the spot in the middle of the court to show his innocence. The ministers of the DPRK and China were all moved.
It's just that the abolished emperor has just ascended the throne, and the imperial power cannot be challenged, no matter who it is, as long as he intercedes for General Jiang. will be charged with treason against the party, either dismissed or exiled.
In this way, no minister in the DPRK dared to disobey the holy will. People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and it is not wrong for the minister to choose to protect himself if he has a family and a mouth.
Now the abolished emperor personally wrote a letter of guilt, personally admitting his mistake and setting up a bureau to frame General Jiang. returned the Jiang family's innocence.
Chu Hao also ordered that the emperor's list should be posted in all parts of the Great Chu State, and the guilty book of the deposed emperor should be published to the people of the Great Chu State. Let the whole world know the innocence of the Jiang family and the fault of the abolished emperor.
The history books will also record the mistakes of the deposed emperor, which caused him to be reviled for thousands of years and scolded by later generations.
The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to rehabilitate the Jiang family, which shows the importance he attaches to the Jiang family.
The new emperor led troops into the capital to break into the palace to seize the throne, and this matter was inseparable from the three brothers of the Jiang family.
The three brothers of the Jiang family all have the merit of being a dragon, especially the Jiang family Dalang, who is brave and strategic, both civil and military.
The three brothers of the Jiang family all relied on their own skills, coupled with their skills from the dragon, and became officials.
Jiang Yi became the first assistant, there are generals in the rivers and lakes, the official is a first-class general to protect the country, and he controls 100,000 soldiers. Jiang Hai was only thirteen years old when he became an official to the third grade, entered the Hanlin Academy, and became a scholar of Hanlin University, with a bright future.
The hundred officials were shocked when they heard the will of the new emperor to make the three brothers of the Jiang family officials.
All the officials could see the new emperor's preference for the Jiang family, and they were not afraid of the Jiang family's high power, and the military power was handed over to the Jiang family's Erlang.
Jiang Jia Saburo became the youngest Hanlin bachelor in history, but none of the hundred officials dared to refute this time.
It is really the new emperor who shows his majesty, and sits on the dragon chair, and the momentum of the superior is vivid.
All officials are not stupid, and they can see that the new emperor prefers the Jiang family, and the eyes of the three brothers of the Jiang family are extremely gentle.
The three brothers of the Jiang family are not finished, General Jiang cleared his name, and the new emperor ordered General Jiang to be buried in the imperial tomb with the specifications of a king with a different surname.
This treatment can be said to be unique, except for the royal people, General Jiang was the first to enter the imperial mausoleum.
The new emperor even gave the three brothers of the Jiang family a mansion, and the Jiang family became a new upstart in Beijing, and the glory was even more than before.
In addition to the three brothers of the Jiang family, Zhao Jing and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army were promoted by two levels, and they were given mansions, good fields or something.
The new emperor wanted to relieve the disaster and the treasury was empty, so he did not reward these people with gold, silver and jewelry.
Just when the hundred officials envied the king, the commander seized the opportunity to defect to the new emperor, and now he has been promoted two levels in a row.
You must know how many ministers have worked hard all their lives and have not been promoted to the next level, and it can be said that the hundred officials are so envious of the king's leadership.
The three brothers of the Jiang family and Zhao Jingna followed the new emperor all the way in the county, and it is natural to have this monstrous wealth. They don't envy it.
Even if the king temporarily defects, he can also get this big advantage.
Why didn't they pick up this bargain?
Just when the hundred officials thought that the reward of the new emperor was over, their little hearts could also be stabilized. The new emperor threw another thunderbolt and exploded above the main hall.
"I also want to announce the matter with the Manchu civil and military forces, and I have found the sister of a fellow mother in the county. I have already confessed to the imperial sister with blood, and the imperial sister's superb medical skills are many times better than the imperial doctors in the palace. The strange poison of the Western Regions before me was solved by the imperial sister. The royal sister Yu Zhen has the grace to save her life.
I want to crown the imperial sister as the princess of Chaoyang, the most noble princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, give the princess mansion, and the fertile land is ......" Chu Hao thought of the imperial sister of the county, and there was tenderness that could not be hidden between his eyebrows.
The other people did not reward gold, silver and jewelry, Gu Xia's reward was a string, there were countless gold, silver and jewelry, and the shop manor was even more numerous.
However, these rewards were given by the new emperor himself, and the treasury was not used.
Hundreds of officials don't know that the new emperor is the richest person in the Great Chu State, even if he gives more rewards, he will give it out.
However, when Baiguan heard countless treasures, he was still stunned.
The new emperor is really good to the princess, what the officials don't know is that the new emperor handed over all the properties under his name to Gu Xia to take care of, and the silver he earned also went into Gu Xia's pocket, and he, the emperor, didn't want a penny.
Now Gu Xia is the richest person in the Great Chu Kingdom.
All the officials were shocked and incredible, the new emperor's biological mother did give birth to a little princess, and it is rumored that she died at birth.
Unexpectedly, the little princess survived, she was taken away by the personal palace maid next to the concubine and adopted by a family in the county, but now she has been recovered. also recognized the new emperor, it can't be said that there is no fate.
