For the title of King Yan, Li Xianzhong is still quite satisfied.

Because Liaodong is also the hometown of the Yan Kingdom, it has been a traditional Han land since ancient times; Yan can also represent Liaodong, and he has not forgotten his roots.

Yongyan is definitely better than Liao.

In addition, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, rebelled against the throne, and the end of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of his "King Yan" can be regarded as completing a reincarnation.

After more than a year of expeditions, he has almost eliminated the forces that may oppose him in advance, and even if Zhu Yousong takes the throne and changes the dynasty, it will not cause too much turmoil in the country!

Today's Da Ming can be described as full of holes, but he can't stop.

Because the West will soon enter the industrial revolution, if China stops developing, then it will be left far behind by the West.

Don't look at the gentry, vassal kings, and merchants from all over the country contributed nearly 30 million taels of silver this year, which is probably not enough for the budget of the new dynasty for a year!

He had so much to do that he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Now that it's almost December, he doesn't want to drag on Hongguang for another three years.

The matter of changing the dynasty must be completed this year, and the new dynasty name will be directly used in January next year.

The newly conquered Huguang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places required a large number of troops to remain behind to intimidate the local Tusi and the Mongol tribes.

So at this time, there were only 30,000 Liaodong troops who followed him back to Beijing, and these people would be the central forbidden army in the future.

In order to be in a hurry, Li Xianzhong left 20,000 infantry behind, led 10,000 cavalry day and night, and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule!

At this time, the Jingshi was extremely busy, on the one hand, it was approaching the end of the year, and there were originally more things.

In addition, after Li Xianzhong was crowned Queen Yan, the enthronement ceremony should also be prepared in advance.

Fortunately, the golden crown and dragon robe have already been prepared according to Li Xianzhong's size, and it will definitely be too late to make them fresh.

Of course, the most important thing is to force Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong Chan to concede.

Although they all want to be heroes of the new dynasty, those who directly come forward to force the emperor to make concessions will inevitably leave an infamy in history.

At the beginning, Hua Xin forced the Han Emperor to take the throne, and his reputation was not very good.

So they decided to build momentum first.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiangnan, said that a 263-year-old cypress tree was killed by lightning next to the imperial tomb in Fengyang Mansion, and a Ganoderma lucidum actually grew in the place where the big tree split.

Originally, Ganoderma lucidum was just an ordinary auspicious ray.

But it is somewhat intriguing to kill a 263-year-old tree next to the tomb of the Ming Emperor.

Because the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD) to the second year of Hongguang (1631 AD), a total of 263 years.

So the Beijing division rumored that this was a warning from heaven, and the 263-year national honor of the Ming Dynasty was about to end, and he wanted to establish a new dynasty!

Coupled with Li Xianzhong's being named King of Yan, the people of Jingshi quickly thought that this was a hint from God that Li Xianzhong would ascend the throne and become emperor.

Originally, the major wine shops and teahouses in Beijing were not talking about state affairs, and this kind of rumor appeared Jinyiwei or the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they had already come forward to arrest the people who were confused by the gossip.

But when this "rumor" appeared, no one stopped it at all.

So this rumor soon spread all over the city!

Even in the palace, it began to spread.

Zhu Yousong, who was originally worried that Li Xianzhong was plotting to usurp the throne, was even more panicked, and he didn't think about tea and rice, and suddenly dropped more than a dozen catties of meat.

At this time, the only person he could trust was the eunuch Chang Yun, the master of ceremonies.

According to Chang Yun's investigation, the eunuch Dolgon, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, and Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, were Li Xianzhong's people at all, and Zhu Yousong's every move in the palace was completely under Li Xianzhong's control.

Zhu Yousong could only go to Taimiao to worship his ancestors by opening Dolgon and secretly discussing with Chang Yun.

Zhu Yousong said anxiously: "Li Xianzhong has just been awarded the title of King of Yan, and before he has returned to Beijing, so many rumors have spread, once he returns to Beijing, I am afraid that he will seek to usurp the throne!" ”

"Big trip, it seems that we only have to take risks!"

Chang Yun said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Li Xianzhong's background has been ascertained, he is by no means a Han Chinese, once his bloodline is exposed, he will inevitably lose his heart!" ”

Even Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty knew that if he made an edict, Zhu Yousong naturally couldn't sit still.

Li Xianzhong is already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and he can only fight hard.

However, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all Li Xianzhong's henchmen, and Chang Yun could not leave the palace, so he had to send someone to find Shao Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou.

After Huang Daozhou heard about the so-called "auspiciousness" of Fengyang Mansion, he knew that Li Xianzhong was bound to commit a rebellious act.

So he contacted dozens of officials who were firm and clear, such as Shi Bangyao, Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, Langzhong, Wang Jiayan, and Wei Xuelian, who were in the military department.

Since Huang Daozhou publicly opposed Li Xianzhong in the court, he has long been on the blacklist of Jinyiwei.

Therefore, these people chose to meet in the house of the right capital Yu Shi Bangyao.

Huang Daozhou said: "Li is originally from Koreans, and in the early Ming Dynasty, he crossed the river and swam to Tieling. Therefore, Li Xianzhong is not a Han at all, and his ancestors are Jurchens of Korean origin. ”

Zodiac Zhou's words shocked everyone!

They only knew that the Li family in Liaodong lived in Tieling, but they didn't expect Li Xianzhong to be a North Korean and have Jurchen blood!

Shi Bangyao, the right of the imperial history, said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" Li Xianzhong is a wolf and tries to steal the artifact, and we must make his ugly face public! ”

Yushi Li Banghua also said: "No wonder Li Xianzhong's wives and concubines are all Jurchens and Mongols, if such a Hu mongrel is allowed to ascend to the throne, then won't the court in the future become the court of the Hu people?" ”

The crowd was excited, you said a word to me, I can't wait to eat Li Xianzhong alive!

At this time, Huang Daozhou signaled everyone to be calm and said: "Although Li Wei has not yet returned to Beijing, his henchmen have been building momentum for him; The day he returns to Beijing will be a time of rebellion. ”

"Therefore, we must inform the world of his true identity as soon as possible, and we can't usurp the Ming Dynasty by the Hu people's mongrels!"

Just as everyone was responding positively, only a few screams were heard, and then a large number of brocade guards forcibly broke into Shifu.

Surrounded by a bunch of Jinyi guards wearing flying fish suits, the commander of the Jinyi guard, Zuodu Governor Tian Ergeng said: "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity, take it all for this governor!" ”

Huang Daozhou shouted loudly: "Tian Ergeng, your grandfather, Tian Le, the secretary of the military department, also participated in the killing of the Li family in Liaodong. Now that you are actually with Li Xianzhong and framed Zhongliang, what will you look like in the future to go underground to see your grandfather and the ancestors of your Tian family! ”

Tian Ergeng smiled contemptuously and said: "Huang Daozhou, the Li family in Liaodong is from the Li family in Longxi, and it was one of the 'five surnames and seven hopes' in the world, and then lived in today's northern Korea. ”

"Don't forget, whether it's Liaodong or the north of the Datong River in North Korea, it has always been my homeland in China."

"Why is Li Xianzhong, the king of Yan, not a Han Chinese?"

"At the beginning, Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle gave up the Jianzhou Left Guard, and the ancestors of the Li family were unwilling to be Koreans, so they moved their family to Tielingwei."

"Several generations of the Li family in Liaodong have made great achievements for my Ming Dynasty, so I have today's status."

"His Royal Highness King Yan even exterminated Houjin with his own hands and forced Nurhachi to death, you actually slandered him as a descendant of the Jurchens?"

Huang Daozhou snorted coldly and said: "Li Xianzhong naturally will not admit that he is a descendant of the Jurchens, so he clings to the Li clan in Longxi!" ”

"Do you dare to say that Li Xianzhong didn't think about plotting to usurp the throne?"

"If Li Xianzhong, the king of Yan, had not thought of ascending the throne, we would have spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I should have died to apologize!"

Tian Ergeng said: "His Royal Highness King Yan's accession to the throne is the will of the people, even if he himself is unwilling, we must put him on the throne!" ”

"If you are willing to repent, the Governor may give you a chance to mend your ways; If you continue to be obsessed, you know what the end will be! ”

Then he ordered all these people to be imprisoned in the edict of Jinyiwei!

Although it is impossible for these people to set off much of a storm at all, it will definitely cause a lot of public opinion pressure if these rumors are spread!

Even if the rumors are refuted, they are getting darker and darker, and the consequences are unimaginable!

At the same time, Cao Huachun also led people to rush into the Qianqing Palace and arrested Chang Yun, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi who was suspected of spreading rumors and seriously injuring Li Xianzhong, the king of Yan.

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, after hearing that the matter was revealed, was frightened and fell seriously ill.

Now that Emperor Hongguang has already made a move, these ministers have no scruples.

Zhu Yousong said that he was ill, so they went to visit His Majesty in the Qianqing Palace by themselves, and used this to exert pressure.

On the first day of December, Yan Mingtai, the first assistant, led the cabinet to formally present his case to Emperor Hongguang in the Qianqing Palace, asking Zhu Yousong to cede the throne to Li Xianzhong, the king of Yan!

Yan Mingtai said: "Seeing the king of Yan, since he ascended the throne, he has conquered the Quartet, benevolence and all things, the more ancient and modern, although Tang Yu has not been able to pass this." The meeting of the ministers, the words of Zuo have ended, and I hope that Your Majesty will follow the path of Yao and Shun, and use the mountains and rivers to Sheji, Zen and the King of Yan.

"If the heart of heaven is in line with the people's will, then Your Majesty will enjoy the blessing of leisure, and the ancestors are very fortunate! Lucky for the living! The ministers agreed, and they came to play. ”

Zhu Yousong was shocked when he heard this, and after being speechless for a while, he cried to these officials: "I want Taizu to wrap a red scarf in Haozhou, Ping Chen Youliang to kill Zhang Shicheng, expel Meng Yuan, and create a foundation, which has been passed down from generation to generation, for more than 260 years. ”

"Although I am not talented, I have no evil at the beginning, and I will endure the great cause of my ancestors, and I will abandon it? Thou shalt be a hundred officials and then consider it from the public. ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs who came to force the palace saw that Emperor Hongguang was still unwilling to give up the throne, so they put further pressure on him.

At this time, Qian Qianyi said again: "Since ancient times, there has been prosperity and there has been ruin, how can there be an immortal country and an undefeated family?" The Ming Chamber has been passed down for more than 260 years, extending to Your Majesty, the number of qi has been exhausted, it is advisable to retreat as soon as possible, and not hesitate; Late will change. ”

Seeing that the ministers were aggressive and refused to give an inch, Zhu Yousong had to cry bitterly!

At this time, a voice sounded: "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you actually persecuted Your Majesty so much, but there is still half a way of being a minister?" ”

Everyone looked for prestige, only to see the Queen Mother Zhang Yan, accompanied by the eunuch Duoduo, walking towards the warm pavilion!

Mao Yuanyi still knows the relationship between Zhang Yan and Li Xianzhong.

So he took the lead and said: "The ministers are petitioning for the common people in the world, it is a bit rude, and I ask the Queen Mother to persuade Your Majesty!" ”

Zhang Yan sighed and said, "Ministers, step aside first, and let the mourning family persuade Your Majesty!" ”

So they retreated outside the warm pavilion.

Seeing the ministers retreating, Zhu Yousong, who was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent, actually hugged Zhang Yan and cried.

While crying, he shouted: "Imperial sister-in-law, I am too difficult! ”

Zhang Yan thought to herself, how could the emperor of the old Zhu family be so virtuous, shouting "imperial sister-in-law" while eating his own tofu!

Chongzhen is like this, and so is this Hongguang Emperor!

When I was hugged by Chongzhen, I hadn't been touched by a man for many years, and I had some small expectations in my heart.

Now that she is Li Xianzhong's woman, she naturally can't be so "eaten tofu" by Zhu Yousong, a little fat man.

So she coughed and pushed Zhu Yousong away.

Then he said: "Your Majesty's matter has come to this, please think more about your Majesty for yourself!" ”

"In fact, whether Your Majesty agrees or disagrees, Li Xianzhong will eventually seek to usurp the throne, even if Your Majesty swears to the death, he is nothing more than killing Your Majesty and replacing it with an emperor who is willing to Zen down with him."

"Or simply place an edict in the name of Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yousong said: "But how do I know if Li Xianzhong will let me live? ”

"If he unloads the mill and kills the donkey, won't I bear the title of the king of the dead country in vain?"

Zhang Yan said: "As far as the mourning family knows, His Royal Highness King Yan still attaches great importance to his reputation, and has never broken his word and become fat. Since he has chosen the way of Zen concession, he will inevitably give preferential treatment to the Ming Room and His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty, instead of being entangled in Zen or not, it is better for these ministers to talk about their preferential conditions!"

Under Zhang Yan's persuasion, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong finally reached a preferential treatment agreement with the ministers.

Zhu Yousong can continue to live in the Forbidden City, and the Ministry of Industry will take out the "West Sixth Palace" originally located in the northwest corner and place Zhu Yousong and his harem.

Of course, the size of the harem must be compressed, in addition to Queen Chen, Zhu Yousong can also choose 12 concubines.

The eunuchs and palace maids were retained 200 each.

Huangzhuang is definitely gone, and his internal money is less than 500,000 taels at this time, and this money can continue to belong to Zhu Yousong.

In addition to bearing the daily expenses of the "West Sixth Palace", the imperial court gave Zhu Yousong another 240,000 taels of silver every year.

The temple of the Ming Dynasty can be retained, but it cannot continue to be placed in the main temple of the Taimiao, and the Ministry of Rites will re-establish a Ming temple next to the main temple.

In order to place the tablets of the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the sacrifice will not be affected!

Zhu Yousong changed his title to "King Xiao Ming", hereditary replacement!

Of course, Li Xianzhong's move also meant to mock Zhu Yuanzhang for killing Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming!

Li Xianzhong actually arrived in Zhuozhou a few days ago, and he didn't enter the city just to wait for the result of Zhu Yousong's side.

After everything was done, Li Xianzhong entered Beijing through Guangning Gate on the sixth day of December!

After Li Xianzhong entered Beijing, he continued to live in his Yanwang Mansion!

On the seventh day of the first month of December, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong issued an edict to let Zen.

Then Li Xianzhong resigned!

After the "Three Edicts and Three Resignations", Li Xianzhong, the king of Yan, finally accepted the Zen concession of Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

First up is the Zen Throne Ceremony!

On December 31, Li Xianzhong, the king of Yan, knelt down to receive the edict of Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong.

Then Li Xianzhong canonized Zhu Yousong as the king of Xiaoming, and Zhu Yousong performed the "three kneeling and nine knocking" salutes to the new emperor Li Xianzhong, and received the order to thank him.

On the first day of January, Li Xianzhong officially held a canonization ceremony in the Huangji Hall to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials.

The country name was changed to "Huaxia", and the year name was Qianxi.

The country name "Dayan" reminded Li Xianzhong of Jin Yong's Murong Fu.

In the end, he gave up this country name, since he wants to open a new era of the Chinese nation, so why not the two-word country name?

His new Chinese dynasty is to be different from other dynasties!

When Emperor Hongguang succeeded to the throne, Li Xianzhong made a bunch of places to announce his attachment to the Ming Dynasty.

Although this time it was rushed, in order to show the legitimacy of Huaxia, this drama is still indispensable.

Joseon had long been a puppet regime of the Ming Dynasty, and King Kim of Korea had requested that the remaining five provinces of Korea be included in China.

Li Xianzhong agreed to Jin Zidian's request and formally incorporated the entire Korean Peninsula into the territory of China.

and canonized Kim Zidian as the prince of Seoul County, hereditary replacement.

Jin Zidian's dedication to the soil, but he did not seal the country, and it also let everyone see the gold content of the Huaxia title.

Then Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, sent an urgent report of 800 li, and the Huaxia army recovered the "Seven Guards of Guanxi" including Hamiwei.

In the fourth year of Yongle (1406), Hamiwei was established, and it fell for the first time during the orthodox period.

After that, although the Ming army regained Hamiwei, its rule was not stable.

In the eighth year of Zhengde (1513), Hamiwei fell again.

During the Jiajing period, due to the fall of Hami, the "Guanxi Seven Guards" west of Jiayuguan could not be controlled, and the Ming Dynasty began to retreat to Jiayuguan, which was extremely passive on the northwest border.

The recovery of the "Seven Guards of Kansai" marked the expansion of the scope of its rule to the Western Regions once again by the new Chinese dynasty.

Then Li Xianzhong posthumously crowned his grandfather Li Chengliang as Emperor Gaozuwu, his father Li Rusong as Emperor Dezuchun, and crowned his second uncle Li Rubai as the king of Liao.

Canonized his wife Hazia as the queen, concubine Hai Lanzhu as the concubine, Bumu Butai as the concubine, Liu Ru as the concubine of De, Su Tai as the virtuous concubine, and the rest of the nominal concubines were also given corresponding titles.

The eldest son Li Shengzu was appointed as the crown prince!

This year is the first year of Qianxi (1632), amnesty to the world!
