Daming Military Empire

Chapter 13 Enthroned
As the saying goes: A country cannot be without a king for a day, so even if the emperor died in ancient times, the new emperor ascended the throne first and then the funeral of the first emperor was held.In the Ming Dynasty, the new emperor must ascend the throne within three days after the emperor's death.

This day is already the second day, which means that Zhu Cijiong must ascend the throne tomorrow.

The enthronement of the new emperor is a very grand event, the process is extremely cumbersome, and there are many things to be determined. Therefore, just after Maoshi, and the palace gate just opened, Sun Chengzong dragged Xin Wang Zhu Youjian to find Zhu Cijiong to discuss the matter of enthronement.

At this moment, Zhu Cijiong was still lying in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, sound asleep. Although Cao Huachun couldn't bear it, he stepped forward and gently woke him up. The enthronement of the new emperor should not be delayed.

Zhu Cijiong woke up in a daze, listened to Cao Huachun's report, and then looked at the crumbling group of eunuchs in charge below. With a roll of his eyes, Cao Huachun listened to him and explained.

Soon a few eunuchs came up with washing utensils, Zhu Cijiong washed up hastily under their service, and a few more eunuchs came up with a big bucket of porridge.

This is no ordinary rice porridge. There are not a few grains of rice in it, and almost all of them are precious ingredients such as walnut kernels, candied dates, and lotus seeds.

Zhu Cijiong asked the little eunuch to serve a bowl for each of the eunuchs in charge, and then asked them to serve a bowl for himself, and then said generously: "You are so lucky, I reward you with a bowl for breakfast, hurry up and go back to rest Bar."

Then, he stared at the eunuch below and did not move.

The meaning is obvious, I will reward you to eat with me at any time, if you want to poison, you have to think carefully, don't poison me to death, you will all be poisoned to death!

The eunuch standing below almost fainted, no matter what, he blew a few sips and finished it in a hurry.

Zhu Cijiong stared at them for a while, then slowly picked up the porridge in front of him, took a spoon, and drank it slowly.

After he finished drinking, he rinsed his mouth under the service of the eunuch, and then waved his hand to let the eunuch in charge retreat. He himself walked to the study room, where Sun Chengzong and the others were waiting for you.

The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was naturally to decide on the reign name, and in the morning the main thing was to discuss the issue of the reign name.

Of course, in the eyes of Sun Chengzong and the others, he is still just a child, and he can only serve as an audience to witness the discussion process, and Zhu Youjian is mainly responsible for this date.

When he came to the study, Zhu Cijiong was carried by Zhu Youjian to the chair behind the desk and sat down. Zhu Youjian stood by the side, and Sun Chengzong and all the cabinet ministers stood neatly in front of the desk.

Seeing that he was seated, Zhu Youjian raised his hand and said, "Take it out and discuss it."

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong took out a memorial from his arms, and read aloud: "Qizuo to the emperor, the cabinet has initially decided on four year names after discussion, namely: Qiansheng, Xingfu, Xianjia, and Chongzhen. Please let the emperor decide."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Cijiong, and seeing him in a daze, he shook his head and said, "Doing is heaven, and a saint is also a saint. How dare you be a saint? It's not advisable to be a saint. Zhongxing is very good, but it's not easy? Xingfu It is also not advisable; Xian is a war, and if you want to stop fighting now, Xianjia is not available; why not call it Chongzhen!"

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he was shocked, and said in his heart: "Chongzhen! You haven't become the emperor yet, and you still can't forget this sad name! If you want Chongzhen, you Chongzhen, I won't be Chongzhen!"

He rolled his eyeballs, and said stupidly: "Chongzheng, Chongzheng, Chongzheng."

As soon as the emperor's chanting voice sounded, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youjian and a group of cabinet ministers were all incredulous, and stared at him blankly.

Well, the emperor's golden words, Chongzheng is Chongzheng, no one will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor just for a word, so Zhu Cijiong just changed the year name to "Chongzheng".

Early the next morning, Zhu Cijiong was woken up early again, and began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

He took a bath first, and after being scrubbed by a group of maids, he put on his underwear and began to burn incense.When he was dazed by the fumes, he was put on a tiara with twelve coats of arms, a nine-panel tiara, and a bunch of ornaments.After this set, he couldn't even walk, it was too heavy!
Then, accompanied by Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, he got on the Dragon Chariot, left Qianqing Palace, and headed for Huangji Hall.

There were no less than a thousand Jinyi guards who opened the way in front and escorted behind, and there were at least tens of thousands of Jinyi guards standing along the way with their heads bowed to welcome them.

There is no way, although Wei Zhongxian has been honest these two days, his strength has not been affected, so he has to guard against it.

When the dragon chariot arrived at the Hall of Central Harmony, Zhu Cijiong was invited down. Sun Chengzong had already held the edict in his hand and was in the palace. Zhu Youxiao helped Zhu Cijiong sit on the dragon chair and helped him tidy up the crown.

After sitting down and resting for a while, there was a voice from outside: "Please read the last emperor's last edict, Mr. Tai Tuo."

Sun Chengzong bowed to Zhu Cijiong, and walked out with his will in both hands.

At this time, the square outside the Huangji Hall was already full of officials at all levels, lined up neatly according to the size of their positions, and there may be no less than 3000 people.

Sun Chengzong held up the edict, walked to the middle of the second step outside the Huangji Hall, and said in a loud voice: "Xuanhuang's edict, all officials listen to the edict."

All the officials quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said in unison: "I respectfully listen to the late emperor's legacy."

Sun Chengzong read aloud:
"I bow down to my ancestors for seven years. I am deeply impressed by the emperor's training of Yao and Shun. I am conscientious and do not dare to neglect. The three palaces are completed, and the restoration of the hall is completed. install.

Fang is determined to bring peace and rest with the people.It doesn't mean that the endowment is weak, since the Qing Palace and Linyu, there are many things, and I am thinking about it day and night, worrying about work, worrying about work, thinking about hurting the spleen, and causing lingering.Today is the relapse of a long-standing illness, and the epistaxis is sudden, and it is almost impossible to get out of it, and I have to take care of Gu Tuo first.
I am exhausted.If a husband tries to live and die, it is unavoidable for everyone, but if he wins the successor, the clan and the society depend on the life and the people, and it is all subject to obedience.

The crown prince is benevolent and filial, and his virtues are natural, and he should be the emperor."

After reading the edict, Sun Chengzong shouted out of luck: "Please the new emperor succeed!"

All the officials below shouted in unison: "Please succeed the new emperor, please succeed the new emperor, please succeed the new emperor!"

Only then did Zhu Youjian lead Zhu Cijiong out of the Zhonghe Hall and onto the platform in front of the Huangji Hall.

The dragon chair had already been set up on the platform, and Zhu Youjian helped Zhu Cijiong onto the dragon chair, took out the enthronement edict from his arms, and read it again.

Probably it is to praise the merits of the former emperor first, then to express the policy plan for the future, and finally to celebrate the enthronement of the new emperor and amnesty the world.

After Zhu Youjian finished reading the enthronement edict, he yelled loudly: "The new emperor succeeds, change the Yuan to Chongzheng!"

The officials below immediately shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Called nine times in a row, each time was more equal, each time was louder, and the last time the earth was shaken!
As soon as he finished shouting here, Zhu Cijiong's voice sounded in the head of the beautiful woman of the system: "Ding Dong, congratulations on completing your first glory mission, and now the reward: the original machine tool blueprint."

Zhu Cijiong just felt dizzy this time, and he didn't know how many drawings and principles had poured into his mind.After the dizziness passed, countless extra knowledge appeared in his mind: what are primitive lathes, primitive drilling machines, and primitive grinding machines.
There are all kinds of machine tools, and it is almost possible to open a small military factory. Of course, these are the most primitive versions, and now European countries are about to develop them one after another.

The rewards of this glory task are too huge, so huge that Zhu Cijiong can't figure out how much knowledge he has mastered for a while.

Just as he was about to sort it out, the beauty of the system immediately reminded him: "Ding Dong, friendly reminder: the barrels of the flintlock guns are all over one meter in length, please consider the issue of processing. After the reminder is over, I wish you a happy game."

Zhu Cijiong was stunned when he heard the words, he only thought about the flintlock gun, but forgot what the flintlock gun looked like.

The barrels of these guns are all over one meter in length, and with Daming's current level of military industry, it is simply impossible to make them!

No wonder the firearms made by Daming are so bulky and have short barrels. They also want to lengthen the barrels and reduce the weight, but they can't do it with the current processing equipment!

Here, after Zhu Youjian finished reading the enthronement edict, Sun Chengzong began to read the letter of conferment: "The respected empress Zhang is the Empress Dowager Yi'an, who is in charge of the East Sixth Palace; the noble concubine Ren is the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, who is in charge of the West Sixth Palace."

Over there, Zhu Cijiong was thinking about how to make a gun barrel, and he didn't care what he was reading at all.

In this way, he was carried to the Sheji Altar to worship the heaven and the earth in a daze, and then to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors. The enthronement ceremony was considered complete.

Finally, he was carried back to the Huangji Hall, where he sat on a dragon chair to receive the worship of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

By this time he'd finally figured out how to make a barrel with a primitive drill press, but here's the problem again, he's only five years old!

His father wearing a dragon robe as a carpenter is barely acceptable to everyone, after all his father is an adult.Why does the emperor like to play with wood?It's not bad if you don't play gold and jewelry!
But a five-year-old child playing with various machine tools, even if it is the most primitive version, even if you are the emperor, people will not accept it!

Are you a human or a monster?
All the ministers came forward to meet one by one, but Zhu Cijiong was thinking: "How can I make all kinds of machine tools properly without being suspected of being a monster?"
