Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 642 The Enthronement Ceremony

The flag guards marched neatly and slowly towards the flagpole.

When they came to the flagpole, the teams behind separated and stood around the flagpole.

The three soldiers in front walked under the flagpole, and the soldier in the middle tied the flag to the rope above the flagpole.

At this time, the band in front of the palace gate played the national anthem.

During the majestic and majestic national anthem, the national flag rose gradually, and when the national anthem ended, the national flag rose to the top of the flagpole.

When the flag-raising ceremony was over, the members of the flag-guarding team withdrew.

At this time, the military parade officially began.

The first to appear is a phalanx of about 100 people. There are three soldiers in the front of the phalanx, and these three soldiers hold red flags.

The soldiers at the back held 56 punches, and when they reached the middle of the palace gate, their marching in unison suddenly changed to walking forward.

They wore new-style military uniforms, and they walked past the front one by one with arrogance.

The combined footsteps of 100 people sound like a single person.

After this team went down, the next ones were soldiers wearing new-style military uniforms. They held 56 punches, just like the team just now, walking across the square majesticly and powerfully.

Behind them are the teams in traditional combat uniforms.

When the infantry was gone, the cavalry came next.

Some cavalry wear new military uniforms, and some wear traditional military uniforms.

Although the costumes are different, they are all first-class elites.

The sound of horseshoes echoed in the square, passing by the square.

Behind the cavalry is the artillery, and the 120mm cannon howitzer, pulled by several horses, passed through the square.

The cannon reflects the luster of metal. Although the volume is not as large as the cannons of this era, the sense of oppression it creates is not something ordinary people can bear.

Behind the 120mm cannon howitzer is the 107 rocket launcher. These artillery were dragged by the horses and walked across the square.
Then there are 120 mortars and gunners carrying 40 fire.

All the soldiers participating in the military parade looked at Zhao Wen when they passed the square, and shouted "Long live Your Majesty!"

When the military parade was over, the people watching the ceremony around the square could not close their mouths from ear to ear in horror.

They knew that Zhao Wen was powerful, and they also knew that Zhao Wen could take down the whole world without any effort.

However, they had never intuitively felt Zhao Wen's strength, and today's military parade opened their eyes.

Especially when the soldiers walked forward, each foot stepped on their hearts, making them speechless in shock.

After the military parade, it's time for a banquet.

The specifications of the imperial palace were built according to the specifications of the imperial palace in the capital, and the name was also the same as that of the imperial palace in the capital. Therefore, Zhao Wen placed the banquet in the Qianqing Palace in the inner court.

Zhao Wenduan was sitting in the center of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and Li Xiaoying was sitting next to him in a queen's costume.

Although the ceremony for conferring the empress has not yet been held, Li Xiaoying is Zhao Wen's official wife, so it's okay to wear the empress's attire at this time.

On both sides of the main hall, there are two rows of tables and chairs. The banquet is divided into meals, so it takes up a lot of space. The banquet tables spread all the way to the small square outside the main hall.

The banquet in the small square is not divided into meals, after all, the place outside is not big.

Zhao Wen picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him, and said to the civil and military officials in the hall: "Everyone, drink this glass together!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials in the main hall hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, and then drank them all in one gulp.

Because Li Xiaoying is pregnant, she can't drink alcohol and can only use tea instead.

Now that Zhao Wen has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, according to the rules, he will be renamed Zhen.

Zhao Wen put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Today is the founding ceremony of the country and the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, everyone should have a drink."

"That's right, now that His Majesty is enthroned and established the country, he wants to have a good drink.

And after the new year, it will be changed to Yuan Qiyuan, and it will not be a few months. "Liu Wenzhong said with a smile while holding a wine glass.

Although Zhao Wen ascended the throne as emperor, his reign name still follows Chongzhen's reign name.

After all, the era name is usually changed during the New Year, and it is very rare to change the era name in the middle of the year.

"That's right, after the New Year's name is changed, it means that Daming is in the past." Sitting behind Liu Wenzhong, Lu Xiangsheng said happily.

All the people in the hall raised their wine glasses and said auspicious words.

Zhao Wen was also very happy, drinking one cup after another.

When the banquet was over, it was already dark, and Zhao Wen also returned to the bedroom.

Now the servants standing in the palace have all been replaced by eunuchs.

Of course, Li Xiaosan still brought his personal guards and stood in the palace to protect Zhao Wen.

After Zhao Wen returned to the bedroom, he was not sleepy or drunk. Although he drank a lot of wine, since he traveled through time, his drinking capacity has increased day by day, and he has reached the level of not getting drunk after a thousand glasses.

Zhao Wen was lying on the bed in the palace, unable to sleep.

After a while, he put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom door.

The eunuch standing outside the door saw Zhao Wen coming out, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

These eunuchs are basically from the princes of Ming Dynasty, and they can be selected to come here, of course they have passed the test.

In fact, in the eyes of these eunuchs, no matter who they serve as servants, they are servants, and they are servants for the prince of Ming Dynasty, and they are also servants for Zhao Wen, not to mention that Zhao Wen is now the emperor, and his rank is much higher than those princes. .

Zhao Wendao: "Get up!"

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he walked towards the imperial study.

The eunuchs at the gate also hurriedly followed behind Zhao Wen.

When the palace was being built, Zhao Wen had seen the layout of the palace, so he knew where the imperial study was.

After Zhao Wen came to the imperial study, he sat in the imperial study.

The eunuch following Zhao Wen hastily lit the candles in the royal study to illuminate Zhao Wen.

Now the power plant in Xuanzhen has not been completely completed, so the palace can only be illuminated with candles for now.

Zhao Wen sat at the desk and asked someone to fetch rice paper, pen and ink.

Zhao Wen spread the rice paper on the table and held the brush in his right hand.

"Now that the country has been established and enthroned, hundreds of officials must be rewarded." Zhao Wen pondered for a while, and then wrote on the rice paper.

"Song Hu, Zhao Daniu, Li Xiaosan, Liu Wu, Wang Qi, and Liu Wenzhong have followed me the longest, so let's make them Dukes.

Song Hu was granted the Duke of England, Zhao Daniu was granted the Duke of Song, Li Xiaosan was granted the Duke of Han, Liu Wu was granted the Duke of Cheng, Wang Qi was granted the Duke of Wei, and as for Liu Wenzhong, he was granted the Duke of Wu. "

Zhao Wen chanted and wrote on the rice paper again and again.

The two titles of Duke of England and Duke of Cheng are not unique to Ming Dynasty, they also existed in previous dynasties.

In fact, Zhao Wen didn't plan to reward these people at this time, and the time to reward these people would have to wait until he had the whole world in his hands.

Although it is not possible to award rewards now, these people can be listed first.

"Now that the country has been established, the House of Representatives and officials from various ministries have to be brought out. Liu Wenzhong and other people who followed me the first time will be assigned to the House of Representatives and the Academy of Military Affairs, and some will be added at the same time.

After the military academy is established in the future, the officials who are now added to the military academy will be replaced.

As for the vacant vacancies after they left and the posts in each department, let people discuss after tomorrow to see who is suitable. "

……

Early the next morning, Zhao Wenduan sat in the Golden Luan Hall.

This was the first time Zhao Wen held a court meeting, and after accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, Zhao Wen asked, "Dear dears, now that the country has been established, I plan to improve the Council of Governors and the Military Council.

Liu Wenzhong, Lu Xiangsheng...you will be on duty in the Council from now on, and Liu Wenzhong and Lu Xiangsheng...are in charge of the Council.

Qi Qingtian...you will be on duty in the Military Academy from now on, and Qi Qingtian...is the head of the Military Academy.

After transferring you to the two courts, there will definitely be a lot of vacancies. In addition, I have expanded a lot of yamen. Now that the country has been established, these vacancies must be filled in time. After this matter goes down, the two courts will Officials should discuss carefully and fill up the personnel of each department as soon as possible.

After filling up the personnel of each ministry, we started to change the settings of the government offices in various places.At the same time, the House of Representatives drafted an imperial edict to open up the world and explain the reform.

By the way, there is also the matter of rewards.The two houses also need to discuss the list of persons to be rewarded, and hand it over to me as soon as possible.After winning the whole world, the reward will be awarded. "

Zhao Wen's voice kept echoing in the hall, and the officials in the hall listened carefully to Zhao Wen's voice.

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, all the officials whose names were read by Zhao Wen in the main hall stood up and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

After finishing what was supposed to be done, Zhao Wen asked someone to announce his withdrawal from the court.

The rules and regulations formulated by Zhao Wen can greatly reduce the workload of the emperor, after all, there are so many officials in the two courts, plus the detailed ministries.

With so many people around, even if Zhao Wen doesn't care about the government, the country can continue to run.

Because Zhao Wen had never used a eunuch before, Zhao Wen, the great eunuch who is now following Zhao Wen and serving Zhao Wen, did not know him before.

The big eunuch who followed Zhao Wen was called Chen Donglai. He used to be the head of a small eunuch in the Prince Jin's mansion. He was about 40 years old.

Chen Donglai has no brothers and sisters, and his parents passed away very early. He belongs to the kind of person who can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. In addition, he is honest and knows a lot of etiquette, so he was selected by Liu Wenzhong and sent to the palace.

Zhao Wen saw that this person was agile, able to write and count, and he was honest, so he mentioned him to his side.

After Zhao Wen retired from the court, he came to the imperial court and walked in the imperial garden. Chen Donglai followed behind Zhao Wen, his old face full of restraint.

"Come east, I heard that you used to be in charge of the treasury of Prince Jin's Mansion, right?" Zhao Wen asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this slave is exactly like that." Chen Donglai said respectfully.

"Here, you don't need to call me a slave, just call me." Zhao Wen frowned slightly.

"Slave dare not!" Chen Donglai had not been with Zhao Wen for a few days, although outsiders said that Zhao Wen had a good character and would not punish others without reason, but Chen Donglai did not dare to act presumptuously.

"Don't dare, why don't you dare? You are not allowed to call me a slave in the future, you can only call me, do you understand?" Zhao Wen shouted in a low voice.

Chen Donglai was so frightened that he hurriedly said yes.

"By the way, I heard that you were still in the palace before?" Zhao Wen asked again and again as he walked.

Chen Donglai said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I was on duty in the palace at the beginning. At that time, I was young and didn't know the rules. When I spoke ill of Wei Zhongxian, those descendants of Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill me.

Fortunately, my godfather at that time was a godson of Wei Zhongxian, and I also gave my godfather a lot of benefits on weekdays, so he interceded for me.In the end, Wei Zhongxian threw me into Prince Jin's Mansion. "

"Oh? I remember that when people in the palace make mistakes, they are usually thrown in Jinling? Why did they throw you in the Jin Palace?" Zhao Wen turned his head and looked at Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai said: "I chose Prince Jin's Mansion, my home is in Shanxi, I wanted to be closer to home, and at that time, Prince Jin's Mansion was preparing to replenish the manpower in the mansion, so I went."

"So that's it!" Zhao Wen nodded, "Since you have been a valet in the palace before, then tell me, is there anything that needs to be improved in the palace now?"

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, I dare not speak nonsense." Chen Donglai said cautiously.

"I let you tell!" Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai said: "Returning to the emperor, although the current imperial palace is complete, it lacks internal officials. There were four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve supervisors in the imperial palace of the puppet Ming Dynasty, but there are not so many yamen in the imperial palace of the new dynasty.

Although there are not many yamen in the palace, they are indispensable. If there are not so many yamen, it is estimated that the palace cannot be managed well. "

"What you said makes sense. Now that the country is being created, everything is not on the right track. Let's talk about these things later." Zhao Wenchang sighed.

In fact, Zhao Wen was not very willing to use eunuchs, but courtiers like Liu Wenzhong couldn't be persuaded, so Zhao Wen had no choice but to agree to them.

The new dynasty has just been established. Although the size of the imperial palace is not large, it will not be possible to find so many eunuchs and maids to fill the imperial palace.

Before, Liu Wenzhong said that some young soldiers were selected from the captured soldiers, castrated, and then flooded into the palace.However, this proposal was rejected by Zhao Wen. After all, these captives wanted to build railways and carry out infrastructure construction, and they would not lose what they could.

Besides, Zhao Wen is a descendant after all, and cannot accept this method of castrating people, so he first used the captured eunuchs.

……

When the news of Zhao Wen's ascension to the throne reached the capital, Chongzhen sat in the imperial study with a newspaper that had been circulated from Xuanzhen, his face livid.

"Damn thief Zhao, he actually became the emperor, he became the emperor." Chongzhen's face was ashen, looking at the newspaper in his hand, he kept yelling and cursing in a low voice.

Some time ago, when the news of the fall of the whole of Shaanxi and the fall of central and northern Sichuan reached the capital, Chongzhen was half-dead in anger. Now Chongzhen's mood finally eased, and he received the news of Zhao Wen's enthronement.

"Damn it, really damn it!" Chongzhen slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table and cursed loudly.

Gao Qiqian stood beside Chongzhen, and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, the dragon's body is important."

"Is it important for the dragon body? Bandit Zhao has already ascended the throne as emperor, and the newspapers still claim that Ming is a false Ming. How can I take care of the dragon body?"
