Chapter 321
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The people below were completely detonated. They knelt on the ground and cheered one after another. There were even many old people wiping their tears. This scene was so far away from them, so far away that it was almost like a dream.

A country of the Han people, a world where there is no need to wear ugly braids, an era that can revive the clothes of the Han family!

Although there are still many great Confucians who are still loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, more scholars still secretly hide a Han family in their hearts. Now they see this scene, and they can't help crying. The sorrow of more than 70 years is today. Towards the end of the day.

Looking at the figure on the Temple of Heaven, the shouts of long live are getting louder and louder. It has to be said that Ning Yu's previous series of measures have really brought many benefits to the people, so they have won the hearts of the people.

"In the past, the emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had his destiny to return. He launched an army to attack the Yuan Dynasty, and finally became the lord of the people. He has the ambition of Shenzhou Luchen, and he made it a song for the middle class. Since the entry of the Qing Dynasty, there have been people with lofty ideals in the Central Plains. Donate generously to righteousness, only then will there be a restoration of the Han Dynasty, continue our Chinese orthodoxy, and prevent the clan from becoming extinct."

Ning Yu looked around and chanted aloud, the clear voice echoed on the Temple of Heaven, only to hear that everyone was also excited, and he said clearly that my Great Chu will inherit the Great Tradition of the Ming Dynasty and will also establish the Chinese Taoist Tradition.

"bye!"

The ceremonial officer shouted loudly, and the guards standing under the Temple of Heaven shouted loudly one by one, until the outermost soldiers, the officials and the common people knelt down like waves, prostrating three times and knocking nine times, praising Long live.

After Ning Yu prayed to the heaven and the earth, he officially completed the procedure and became the emperor from then on. At this time, Ning Yu was only 19 years old. He took a deep breath and looked at the common people in the audience. .

"The return of the destiny is tied to the people, and the law of the people lies in the "Imperial Great Chu Constitution"! Make a covenant with the kings, make a covenant with the people, and make a covenant with the heaven and the earth!"

Cui Wancai, Li Fu, Lu Yizhong, Ning Zhongjing, Dong Ce and others looked at Ning Yu. They took the lead and knelt on the ground again. Shout hooray.

Basically, this is the last kneeling ceremony they can perform, because in the new "Imperial Great Chu Constitution", kneeling ceremony will be completely abolished in daily life from now on, except for the new emperor's enthronement and the emperor's death, No one needs to kneel down anymore, and Ning Yu is only at the age of a weak crown, it is basically impossible to walk in front of them, so there will be no more kneel down.

Whether it is to buy people's hearts or sincerely, Ning Yu's actions make people sigh. In terms of reforming the past, the emperor wants to change everything. Of course, for most people, can he Kneeling is naturally the best.

As the emperor, ascension to the throne is the first step, but it is also the easiest step, because after Ning Yu ascends the throne, he will immediately face some other new problems, such as the year name has not yet been determined, and a series of etiquette regulations for the emperor , Then there is the structure of the inner court and the outer court, as well as the official system, rank, salary, and the most important rewards, all of which need to be finalized immediately.

After the enthronement ceremony, Ning Yu followed the etiquette and returned from the round mound to the Fengtian Hall in the Forbidden City, which was considered to have completed the last step of the enthronement ceremony. The future imperial city of Dachu will be the Forbidden City of the pre-Ming Dynasty with hundreds of years of history .

Speaking of which, the scale of the Forbidden City in Beijing today is actually not as large as that of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and its architectural form is exactly the same as that of the Forbidden City in Nanjing. , there are Wuying Hall and Wulou in the west; Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace are the core of the Houting, Chunhe Palace in the east, Rouyi Hall, Fengxian Hall, Dashan Hall, Nine Five Flying Dragon Hall, and West Palace in the west. East and west six palaces.

Especially when the Forbidden City was being built, Zhu Yuanzhang specifically asked for simplicity in everything, "I want to be stable, not gorgeous, and all the carvings are ingenious, and nothing is used, but simple and strong, which can be passed on forever." Therefore, the entire Forbidden City was built very well. It is strong, but it is a pity that the Forbidden City in Nanjing has experienced many hardships later.

Needless to say, the first time, after the Jingnan Incident, Zhu Di conquered Nanjing. At that time, because of the war, Fengtian Palace collapsed in the fire. Although it was restored later, Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, which caused the entire Forbidden City in Nanjing to collapse. fell into decline.

Later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongguang regime was destroyed by the Qing army. At that time, the walls of the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty were all destroyed, the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed, and it was almost reduced to a refuge for beggars. High. There are many broken glazed tiles and few rotten emerald window lattices. The dancers often go to court, go straight to the palace gate all the way, and live a few beggars and starve to death."

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although Beijing was established as the capital, it also attached great importance to Nanjing and changed the Bauhinia City to the Eight Banners Mancheng. 12 glazed tiles were dismantled, as well as carved dragon pillars and Kowloon caissons, all of which were used to build the Fayu Temple on Mount Putuo.

After the Fuhan army captured Jiangning, although they intentionally protected the Forbidden City, the original desolate scene already existed, so Ning Yu had to dispatch a large number of craftsmen and prisoners of war to renovate the Forbidden City, which took about half a year to repair. Yixin, so this was able to ascend the throne in Nanjing.

After Ning Yu ascended the throne and became the emperor, these other people made some arrangements first. As his father, Ning Zhongyuan was naturally revered as the Supreme Emperor, and the ancestors of the Ning family were also revered as emperors, and the old The wife is respected as the empress dowager, Madam Ning is also honored as the empress dowager, Cui Si is the empress, and Chen Caiwei is promoted to the noble concubine, and everyone is happy.

In addition to them, Ning Yu's two younger brothers were also crowned kings, but their titles are not considered dignified. One is the king of Yi and the other is the king of Shen. Never came out, so there is no special treatment.

As for the other ministers and generals, their rewards will be placed later, and after all the adjustments are made, there will be a big reward, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone's contribution.

Ning Yu sat in the Fengtian Hall, he was sitting on the throne. He stroked the carvings on the dragon chair, and then looked at the beaming courtiers below. He felt a little emotional. No wonder everyone wanted to be emperor. The taste of everything should make people feel obsessed, and there is a look of complacency at the moment.

"I report to the emperor that a new dynasty is established, and the Yuan should be changed, and the year should be re-established to show the people."

Soon, before Ning Yu could rest for a while, this happened. Cui Wancai stood below and came out holding a fluorene board to play, reminding Ning Yu not to care about his own pleasure, the job is not over yet.

Ning Yu coughed lightly, "What Cui Qing said is right. The year name is naturally a very important thing. I think that King Wen is on the top, and Yu Zhao is in the sky. Although Zhou is an old state, its life is restored. Among them, the restoration The word is in line with the current situation of my great Chu, how about calling it innovation?"

After the civil servants below listened to it, although some people wanted to say something, they stopped looking at Ning Yu. They opposed it on the country title, but now if they object on the year title, I am afraid that the emperor will be more magnanimous. It would be unbearable, so no one objected to the year name, so it was passed.

Seeing that no one objected to this matter, Ning Yu felt secretly refreshed, but he remembered a previous incident of his own, and immediately said loudly: "I am a great leader, and I should benefit all people. I think that the current disadvantages of the people Therefore, the first thing to do in the first year of the reform is to abolish lowly nationality, so as to relieve the hardship of people's livelihood in the world."

When the civil servants heard this, they did not object to such old-fashioned people, but they all agreed. In fact, the main reason is that in this era, many people are opposed to low status, because this stuff is really inhumane.

The so-called humble nationality system is also a system that has been passed down for a long time. It has existed since the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty divided people into two categories, good people and untouchables. There are two types, one is officials and untouchables, including official servants, official households, miscellaneous households, Gongyue and Taichang voice people.One is the private untouchables, including private slaves, trilogy, Hakka women, personal servants, etc.And these two types of untouchables belong to the lowly family, and their status is almost equal to that of cattle and horses.

Later, in the Song Dynasty, the humble status system was loosened. At that time, slaves and maids would be protected by the law, and the master could not kill slaves at will, otherwise they would be severely punished.However, by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, the humble nationality system was strengthened, and the Mongolian slavery system was even added to it.

The emergence of this system led to the emergence of many humble people in the Ming Dynasty. For example, in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, there was a kind of degenerate people, commonly known as the poor, and they were not beggars, nor did they necessarily have to be poor. The reason why these people were reduced to The low status is mainly because Zhu Yuanzhang relegated many generals under Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen to the status of fallen people.

There is another kind called Lehu, which has a longer history. For example, if a commoner commits the crime of robbery and homicide, except for the beheading of the head and servants, the wife is of the same nationality, and will be assigned as Lehu, even if there is no murder, and Those who have stolen less than five horses will be beheaded, and their wives will become happy households. After Jingnan, many court officials who supported Emperor Jianwen at that time, their wives and daughters would also be demoted to happy households and serve as official prostitutes. .

In addition, there is another kind called servants, that is, children and grandchildren will become domestic slaves. In addition, there are Danhu who live on the boat all the year round. Almost all of these people have become untouchables for various reasons.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, these systems were almost strengthened again, and even some lowly people from the Eight Banners at that time were added. It can be said that once a person becomes a pariah, his children and grandchildren will also passively become a pariah.

Ning Yu had the idea of ​​abolishing the lowly status very early on, and he has repeatedly revealed his intentions. After he ascended the throne this time, the abolition of the lowly status system has also become a good move for him to win the hearts of the people. At present, it is fully implemented in the whole of Dachu, and by solving the problem of the untouchables in various provinces, another layer of aura will be shrouded in him.

Of course, in addition to the voice of the people, Ning Yu has another idea, which is to consolidate the policy of sharing the income of the gentry into the mu and the policy of integrating gentry and errands into one grain, because there is a strong connection between these three policies.

Strictly speaking, in the past, many people would choose to become hermits, that is, they were not under the control of the government, mainly in order to avoid the small tax, so that many big families who were exempted from paying taxes could collect a large amount of hermits. Taking refuge, so that the imperial court cannot control this part of the population, is extremely detrimental to the imperial court's rule.

Of course, the implementation of the stipend into the mu can allow more poor people to come out directly instead of becoming reclusive households. The reason is that they no longer need to pay small silver. So at this time, the abolition of low status can be more inspiring , It can also promote the re-exposure of a large number of hidden households, which can be grasped by the government, which will benefit and do no harm to the implementation of the New Deal later.

It’s hard to say whether other people know the intention of this point, but for Cui Wancai, Ning Zhongjing and others, they really couldn’t be more clear in their hearts. Of course, they also support this policy very much. The humble nationality system made the emperor gain a good reputation, and also allowed the ministers to control more people.

However, like the previous policy, although the abolition of the low-ranking system is beneficial to the rule of the court, it is another blow to the gentry. They can only pose a threat if they have enough population. Now Ning Yu's several practices are all It was in this regard that more people escaped the influence of the gentry.

Cui Wancai said softly: "I think this policy is very good, and it should be implemented as soon as possible to solve the great difficulties of the people in the world." No matter what the other ministers thought in their hearts, Cui Wancai at this time had a supportive attitude of 1 people. This is a real act that can save thousands of people, it can be called benevolence and righteousness.

Ning Yu was also very happy in his heart, but he also understood that it is too late to go too far. Today, this important event has been completed, so he is no longer in a hurry to do other tasks, and began to express that he will leave work early.

"It's so good. As for other matters, we can discuss them in the court tomorrow. I still have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't leave you dear friends."

But the courtiers have just passed the addiction of going to court, how can they let the emperor go now?One by one came out to dissuade them, and some even wanted to block Ning Yu in the hall and not allow him to leave work on the grounds that the emperor had no selfish business.

This made Ning Yu anxious, but today's enthronement day is not too punishing, so he frowned slightly, "The rest of the matter can be discussed tomorrow. Today's enthronement ceremony has passed, please return." Zhuqing go down, I'm going back to the palace."

After finishing speaking, Ning Yu no longer cared about other things, but got up and left on the spot. Of course, when he was leaving, he also began to think about it in his heart, and he couldn't live like this in the future. It seems that the Dachu version of the cabinet It has to be done in advance
