Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On March 22, the second year of Ming Taishun, Zheng Kezang arrived in Tangshan, outside Nanjing.Tangshan has always been famous for its hot springs. As early as the Southern Dynasties, many dignitaries came to bathe and visit. In order to welcome the arrival of Zheng Kezang, the Inner Court Internal Construction Bureau has circled a large forest in Tangshan and built a palace to leave the courtyard.

Not long after Zheng Kezang moved into the Tangshan Palace, there was a loud noise outside the palace. Zheng Kezang, who knew it well, immediately came to the main hall of the palace, and was sitting in danger, waiting for his attendant to come to report.

After a while, the chief servant led into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the troops stationed in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, West Zhejiang and other places, as well as Chizhou Daying, Dongyang Fleet, and Songtai Township Emissary Yamen, 210 and six school lieutenants and deputy lieutenants are knocking outside the palace. Que, please have an audience with the king."

Zheng Kezang responded with a sullen face: "All the troops are clamoring? What's the reason? Come and lead the way."

The closed gate of the palace was opened, and Zheng Kezang, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the palace slowly under the guard of the imperial guards.Seeing Zheng Kezang, the school lieutenants and lieutenants who were selected as the last persuaders fell to their knees and kowtowed, and the shouts of thousands of years were endless.

When the noise subsided, Zheng Kezang yelled sharply, "Aren't you afraid of military law when you leave your post without authorization and gather here to make trouble?"

Xie Siqi, the captain of Wupin Zhaoxin, raised his head, and said loudly to Zheng Kezang with a solemn expression: "I dare not, it's just that the world is turbulent and the Ming Dynasty is incompetent, and the ministers are only counted by the land and water divisions of my vassal." In the name of one hundred thousand generals, I respectfully invite the king to ascend to the throne, protect the people of the world, drive the Tartars from the north, and restore China."

Before Xie Siqi's voice fell, more than 200 school lieutenants and deputy lieutenants recited in unison: "The ministers and others are entrusted by the army, and I implore the king to stand on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, drive the Tartars to the north, restore China, protect the people, and open a prosperous age for generations."

At this time, a servant had already presented the persuasion table to Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang took it and threw it back into Xie Siqi's arms without looking at it: "You want to make a mutiny at Chen Qiao. Isn't it Zhao who bullies orphans and widows?" Son of Heaven, if this discussion is not approved, everyone will immediately disband and return to the camp, otherwise don't blame him for using military law."

Xie Siqi and other captains and deputy lieutenants burst into tears immediately, and everyone kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the Han people in the north are looking forward to it. Your Majesty, don't abandon it to the world for the sake of reputation for loyalty and filial piety!"

There are also Anlong, Weng Bao and other boys from Yingjia Yinsheng who roared in the ranks: "If there is no king, Zhu's Guozuo would have died early. The king has supported the three emperors in four dynasties, and he has treated the Zhu family with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. Your lord, now you are the king. For the sake of the common people in the world!"

The imperial guards and servants on the side also knelt down on the ground, and chanted in unison: "Please take the world into consideration, and stand on behalf of the Ming Dynasty."

The procedure of three words and three concessions has been completed, Zheng Kezang can only hide his face and say: "You, you put my father's three generations of painstaking efforts to such an extent that you put them alone in the chaotic officials and thieves??????"

After saying that, Zheng Kezang staggered back into the palace, and all the soldiers looked up and shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!"

The news of Zheng Kezang's acceptance of persuasion spread to Nanjing like flying, and Emperor Taishun commented in the notice handed in from Yintai, "Zhu's virtue is not enough to come to the world. Today, King Xia is supported by all people. This is the will of heaven and earth. I will hand over my hands and accept the abdication??????" Immediately, the Qin Tianjian reported that the abdication ceremony could be held within three days, and Emperor Taishun obediently commented on the report, saying "yes".

As a result, the Ming Dynasty, which had only been rejuvenated in Wuding for only seven years, entered the final countdown.

In the early morning of March 21, Emperor Taishun, who was concerned about gains and losses, left the Forbidden City in Nanjing sadly, and went to Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan outside the city to cry and sacrifice.At the same time, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming court, which was nothing but an empty shell, also sent a number of redundant personnel to sweep Jimin and Huier Tombs, and to inform the former two generations of Ming emperors that the rule of the Ming Dynasty was over and the artifacts would soon change hands.

That night, Emperor Taishun stayed in the Xiaoling Sacrifice Hall and continued to confess to Ming Taizu as an unworthy descendant.

On March 22, at Choushi, Emperor Taishun, who had been up all night, left Xiaoling and drove to the Temple of Heaven outside the South Gate (Guanghua Gate) to wait.

It was night, and Zheng Kezang could not sleep peacefully. After Weishi, he went to the Temple of Heaven in Nanjing under the escort of guards holding torches.

In this chapter, Xiong Ba's hand beat) just like that, one step at a time, worshiping all the way, and finally arrived at the main gate of the Temple of Heaven in half an hour.

Yinban is the darkest time before dawn, but under the illumination of tens of thousands of torches, the Temple of Heaven is as bright as day.Emperor Taishun, who appeared in the emperor's robe, kowtowed step by step from the steps to the top of the Temple of Heaven, and bowed three times and nine times to the God Lord [Haotian God].Afterwards, Emperor Taishun made a statement, since Chen Mingshi lost morality and disorderly government, which led to Hulu invaders, and the fact that China was ashamed. Cheng.

At this time, Zheng Kezang also kowtowed all the way to the top of the Temple of Heaven, and the two of them kowtowed to the [God of Haotian] for the first time.Immediately, Emperor Taishun took off the emperor's crown and the emperor's clothes, and the ceremonial officials who accompanied him solemnly put away the clothes. Emperor Taishun, who was only wearing underwear, was about to fall backwards, when Zheng Kezang reached out to stop him, and then took off the clothes. His own coat was draped on Emperor Taishun's body.Emperor Taishun failed to bid farewell, so he climbed down the stairs with tears of gratitude, and retreated to the team of ministers and workers under the Temple of Heaven.

At this time, Zheng Kezang kowtowed to heaven and earth again. At this time, the ceremonial officials presented the robes of the Chinese emperor and the crown of the twelve emperors, and some ceremonial officials representing civil and military presented the treasures of the Chinese emperors and the imperial sword.Zheng Kezang dressed neatly one by one and hung his seal and sword by his waist.

I also don’t know how the ceremonial department undertook was broadcast live. When Zheng Kezang was dressed neatly, there was a neat sound of Shan Huan live from under the Temple of Heaven, accompanied by waves of "Long live, long live", Zheng Kezang Worship [God Haotian] once again as the emperor, and burn another seal to the sky in the name of Zheng Qin, the Prime Minister of Feng Tianjing, expressing that he will treat the Ming Dynasty well in the future and take over the unfinished Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to restore Shenzhou responsibility.

The curling green smoke cleared, and Zheng Kezang straightened up and returned to the entrance of the Temple of Heaven. At this moment, the sun was rising in the east, breaking through the darkness and shining a ray of morning light on him.Such a mysterious hint immediately aroused the favor of all the civil and military people in the Huaxia Dynasty. Countless people cheered hoarsely to Zheng Kezang who was displayed in front of the emperor in the emperor's costume, and Zhonghe Shaoyue also resounded????? ?

After the enthronement ceremony, Zheng Kezang, with the support of his ministers, held a grand pilgrimage in the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City in Nanjing. In addition to the local officials and generals from Jianghuai, Jiangnan, East Zhejiang, and West Zhejiang who came to Nanjing to observe the ceremony, there were also (South) Korea, Ryukyu, Beihe, the ambassadors of the three countries, and the observers of the business houses of Britain, Guizhou, France, Spain, Denmark and other countries in Thailand and the West.

Before the pilgrimage was over, Zheng Kezang’s edict came down like flowing water: “According to Tianjing’s order, the emperor ordered: change the second year of Taishun to the first year of Wucheng, change Yingtianfu in Nanjing to Jinling Mansion, change the Forbidden City in Nanjing to Jinling Palace, and change For the time being, Wuchang Mansion is the place to go, and Chengtian Mansion in Dongning is Tokyo??????"

After announcing the location of the capital, Zheng Kezang dealt with family affairs again: "According to Tianjing's order, the emperor said: The princess Chen is a virtuous and virtuous person, and she will appease the inner court to Xiang Wuyichi. All the princes were too young to enshrine the kingdom, so they were conferred on the eldest son of the emperor Changsha County, and the second son of the emperor Fanyu County. Zheng Xinrou is Princess Deyang, and Zheng Xinyue is Princess Dehui??????"

The third edict is about Emperor Taishun and Zhu's descendants: "???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????" The founder of the country, the hereditary Duke of Tang, the king of Bohai County, the first-class medal, the Baoding medal, the Yunlong medal, and the two thousand armors of the food city?????? The rest of the former Ming clans have their own differences??????"

Next is the clan of the Huaxia Dynasty: "??????????????? The Duke of Yiyang County, awarded the second-class medal, the Medal of Walking Dragon, and the food city of [-]; made Zheng Cong the hereditary Duke of Ying, and awarded the second-class medal, the Medal of Baoding, the Medal of the Walking Dragon, and the city of [-] A; seal Zheng Keqi as the hereditary Duke of Jiujiang County??????"

After the clan is the meritorious officials, Zheng Fan failed to break through the Ming Dynasty's nobility system before, so he could only circle around in the circle of Duke Dukes. Just wait for Xianjue to come.Now that the Zheng family founded the country, Zheng Kezang has greatly revised it with the help of the innovation. There are [-] ranks, including Junbo, County Bo, Junzi, Xianzi, and Xiannan.Among them, the title of prince is generally not awarded to meritorious officials, so the title of meritorious officials is actually eleven ranks, but the title of county king cannot be hereditary.

Since the Huaxia Dynasty was established in the Ming Dynasty during the Zen Dynasty, many of the titles that were granted during the Ming and Zheng Dynasties were replaced by those of the Huaxia Dynasty. The Huaxia Dynasty became the seventh-rank county marquis, and Wu Keng, the third-class marquis, could only be the county uncle. As for the counts such as Sun Youlao, there were only county sons and county men left in the Huaxia Dynasty.However, this situation was deliberately caused by Zheng Kezang. After all, it is not a good thing for everyone to be promoted. What's more, he doesn't just want to be confined to half of the country. OK.

Of course, for the foundation of the new dynasty, the Pratt & Whitney Award is also given, so Hong Lei and Yang Ying won the lottery of the county magistrate, Zheng Bin, Chen Shengwu, Zheng Yingping, and Ke Ping were named as county sons, and Cai Ji and other cabinet counselors, The cabinet ministers got the county sons, the general ministers, and Wu Qian, Chen Dunwen, Huang Liangbi and other local governors also mostly got the lowest first-class county men.As for the commander of the army, he won the corresponding titles, ranging from the county uncle to the county son.

These are Spykers, and the original nine-level nobles of Commander, Commander Tongzhi, Commander Qianshi, Zhengqianhu, Deputy Qianhu, Wei Zhenfu, Baihu, Shibaihu, and the township have also been partially preserved. However, the name has been changed to seven levels, including Founding Duke, Founding County Duke, Founding Marquis, Founding County Marquis, Founding Bo, Founding Son, and Founding Male.Moreover, high-ranking dignitaries such as Founding Duke and Founding Duke are not easy to obtain. In the future, there will be almost no place to touch the status of deputy general or minister.

And according to Zheng Kezang's pre-determined law of titles in the Huaxia Dynasty, the founding title will be ranked first to show his achievements, while the hereditary title can only be ranked second??????
