Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die
Chapter 308 Longwu Era
The prince in charge, Zhu Cihong, died a month ago. However, in order not to affect Lu Mou's mood or affect the situation of the war, Chongzhen issued an order not to announce the funeral secretly.
This was the only most successful secrecy incident in the palace. Chongzhen did not brutally kill all the people who knew about it as before, but just put them under house arrest.
It was officially announced to the outside world that the ruling party was worried about the food harvest and went to visit privately incognito.
In this way, all the soldiers, civilians and ministers were successfully kept in the dark, and the entire Ming Dynasty was in peace. Zhu Cixiang lay quietly in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for his younger brother's triumphant return.
After waking up, Lu Mou talked deeply with his father Chongzhen all night.
On the second day, Chongzhen held a special dynasty. He faced all the officials in Beijing with a firm look and formally announced the decree.
He officially abdicated the throne as the Supreme Emperor, and posthumously gave Prince Zhu Cihong the title of Emperor Dezong.
When the elder brother finally arrived, he decided to make King Zhu Cijiong the crown prince and immediately succeed the Ming Emperor. The year was changed to Longwu, and the first month of the next year was the first year of Longwu.
If Emperor Longwu left the dynasty on an expedition, the Supreme Emperor would be in charge of the town, King Yong would be the supervisor of the country, and the father and son would handle state affairs on his behalf.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty entered the Longwu era when father and son were in the same dynasty.
Then the funeral was given to Emperor Dezong first.
Because the mausoleum has not been built yet, it was first stored in Jingci Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. Immediately, funds were allocated from both sides of the treasury. The Zhongqin Heavenly Supervisor of the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Rites surveyed the location of the mausoleum, and the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the construction.
For this good emperor who had not been in power for a long time, both the officials and the people clamored to bury him with the highest standards. For a while, money was spent like water.
The little stingy Lu Mou, who had been crying all the time, was no longer stingy. Regarding the funds requested for the construction, he just said: "Pay it immediately and don't be lazy. If there is no money, I will find a way."
On the day when the soul was transferred, millions of officials and people in the suburbs of the capital cried to see him off. The sky was miserable and the earth was miserable, and the whole sky was deserted.
Seven days after the spiritual transfer, Lu Mou officially moved into the Forbidden City Prison and officially ascended the throne as emperor in the Taiji Hall.
All the rituals should be included, everything that should be reduced should be kept simple, and what can be saved should be absolutely reduced, and not a penny should be wasted.
But even so, the cost is astronomical.
When Lu Mou settled in the Forbidden City, the first thing he did was to reduce the number of maids and eunuchs in the palace in large numbers. Except for the necessary protection and cleaning, the maids and eunuchs were forced to go home after being generously compensated.
All the royal gardens, except Xihaizi and Nanhai Jingshan, were handed over to the government and opened to the people of the world. The proceeds collected were used for the maintenance and repair of the palace gardens.
It was announced that the royal family would no longer have an army. Except for the Jinyi Guards and the Dongchang Guards, the Forbidden Army and the Thirteen Guards of the Beijing Camp, all belong to the state and will no longer be supported by internal funds.
The Jinyiwei are the emperor's eyes and ears, the Dongchang is the emperor's fundamental means to supervise all officials and ensure the stability of the imperial power, and the royal guard of honor is the last dignity of the royal family.
The royal family handed over military power, which officially announced the separation of the family and the country. The emperor is only the highest administrator of the empire, not the owner.
This is very important.
However, Qi Fei's 20,000 cavalry were put under the direct control of the emperor and renamed the Guards.
The reason for retaining such a strong team is to protect the imperial status of Lao Zhu's family.
Don't lose any military power. In the end, someone will stage a coup for you, and you won't even have the ability to resist. By that time, the country will exist, but it will no longer belong to Lao Zhu's family in name only, so this matter will be over.
In this way, after saving most of the internal funds, the decree was issued to reduce the original 30% of the annual royal support money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to 20%. In this way, financial pressure is greatly relieved and other people's livelihood investments are relaxed.
Amnesty for the world, which once again emphasized that all those who originally rebelled, regardless of the reason, will be innocent as long as they submit and accept the imperial edict.
The fourth point is that officially in October, we will start recruiting scholars to make up for the officials who have fled during the decades of war, so that the entire Ming Dynasty can truly operate effectively.
Officially announced the content and proportion of the Six Arts of Confucius and Saints in this and future exams, striving for a peaceful transition and officially abolishing the stereotyped writing. It is precisely because of this that the North and South lists were officially abolished and the country was unified.
Officially announced the abolition of the two remaining imperial courts in Nanjing, the abolition of Southern Zhili, and the split of Southern Zhili into Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Anhui.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty no longer had two southern dynasties, and the true connotation of unity was achieved.
For this major reform, Chongzhen just warned: "We must properly arrange the veterans who stayed in the capital." He did not interfere again.
The meeting was changed from every day to the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
And it has become the norm for Jiying Palace to show its opposition. The Jiying Palace was officially established as the State Council.
The first showdown at the Yingdian Palace during Emperor Longwu's ascension to the throne was quite large in scale. The six tribes and nine ministers are nobles at all levels with titles, including the princes and princes of Mongolia in the steppe who control more than 50,000 people.
It can be described as an unprecedented event.
In addition to Yang Songshan in charge of Jiangnan, Zhang Huangyan, Shi Kefa, Qian Tonghe, and Zheng Hongkui have all returned. Zheng Zhilong did not come back, but sent his son Zheng Sen, who later changed his name to Zheng Chenggong, to attend the meeting.
Zheng Zhilong did this not only to show his complete submission to the imperial court, but also to show Zheng Sen's face and increase his connections.
At the same time, he also knew that there must be new tasks issued in this conference, and he was ready to hand over the new tasks to his son.
Lu Mou, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat on top for the first time and became the master. His younger brother Yong Wang sat on the left and wanted to accompany him, but Chongzhen did not attend. He was completely assured of San'er's ability to govern and would never leave the mountain unless absolutely necessary.
First of all, it must be good news, which is equivalent to a gift to the new emperor.
Of course, the first one to speak was Li Yan.
At that time, he introduced the great victory achieved in the Battle of the Great Wall, and finally concluded: "The Battle of the Great Wall severely damaged the Manchu Qing Dynasty. We are now capable of launching a partial counterattack against the Manchu Qing Dynasty."
Lü Mou affirmed Li Yan's contribution and said: "In view of Li Yan's outstanding contribution to the Ministry of War, for this reason, we have worked together with the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to make a plan to add Li Yan to the title of Zhongyi to reward his contribution."
Then there was Yu Minzhong, who introduced the fruitful results of the Korean War and finally concluded: "The time is ripe to destroy the Dynasty. I am willing to be a pioneer."
Lu Mou nodded: "Marquis Yu has worked hard and made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty's finances. Jia Wensan ranks as a righteous doctor."
The general's rank is increased, which obviously improves the status of the general.
Then Zhang Huangyan reported: "Weichen led the Southern Group Army, and with the full cooperation of Zheng Hou, they recovered Zhejiang and merged part of Jiangxi, and compressed the area occupied by Li Chuang."
Lu Mou nodded: "Take the initiative to attack and provide reinforcements to the front line of the Great Wall. I should be an earl and have a record of three ranks in Gavin level."
Zhang Shenyan asked for credit for his disciple Gao Jie: "Gao Jie gave up the self-respect of supporting troops, improved the old army, and became the same organization as the Ming Dynasty. He also restored the entire Jiangxi and part of Jiangsu, and gained direct border with Nanjing."
"Regardless of our origins, as long as we sincerely return to the Ming Dynasty, we are loyal and brave men of the Ming Dynasty. Earl Gao will be promoted to a marquis." However, he was not given a civilian rank, which also made Gao Jie burst into tears.
Then Zheng Sen stood up and reported: "Under the arrangement of the emperor, my father and his son regained Fujian."
Lu Mou nodded: "Although I have not completed my task of punishing Japan."
Zheng Sen blushed.
Lu Mou smiled and explained for him: "Actually, I also know that Zheng Hou is in trouble. It is not that Japan has closed the country and only allows Zheng Hou to trade with the Dutch. If Zheng Hou launches punishment against Japan, Zheng Hou is afraid that Japan will unite with the Netherlands and eventually let the Netherlands One family is the most powerful in Japan.”
Faced with the new emperor's reasonableness, Zheng Sen knelt down and thanked the new emperor for his father's innocence.
"Zheng Marquis did not conquer Japan, but he recovered Fujian, and his merits and demerits were equal to each other. Zheng Sen had merit in recovering Fujian, and he was given the national surname Success as a reward."
Such an honor was no less than a knighthood, and Zheng Chenggong felt in tears.
Then there is a military commander, and the division commander waits for rewards.
But only Zu Dashou and Wu Xiangxi were not rewarded. Of course, the two of them had no complaints in their hearts. In fact, they really didn't perform well and even almost ruined something big. If they were not punished for standing up for the new emperor, the two of them would have shed tears of gratitude.
Of course, the same Wu Sangui did not receive a reward. Of course, he understood that in order to preserve his strength, he failed to stop the Manchu Qing's defeated troops, which resulted in the battle not being fully successful, and he was also guilty.
However, it was fair to award Wu Yuanzheng, a descendant of the Wu family, and Zu Kefa, the adopted son of Zu Dashou, and it also made the two families put down their uneasy hearts.
This meeting of the new emperor is an exciting meeting, a successful meeting, a meeting that carries forward the past and opens up the future, a successful meeting, and a title wholesale meeting.
In this conference, Lu Mou officially established his unbreakable position in the army and bribed a large number of loyal ministers.
In a short period of time, the transformation from emperor to courtier was realized.
The legacy of the old emperor and the late emperor's brother was eliminated, no, it was the influence, and the position of Emperor Longwu was established that could never be shaken. It can be said to be unprecedentedly fruitful. (End of chapter)
