The heavens begin to realize the Tao and become gods from the divine carving

Chapter 249 Became the Emperor
Although he has never been an emperor, he has watched a lot of court dramas, so it seems like that.

"Aren't you surprised, are you shocked? Last night when you were asleep, I raised my troops and captured the palace. Now the whole palace is under my control. Read the imperial edict."

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor said, never before have emperors ruled the world without respecting the ancestors of heaven. The ancestors of heaven and ancestors are truly gentle, far-reaching, and able to rest and nourish the common people. The interests of the four seas are the interests of the world, and the heart of the world is the heart. To protect the country before it is in danger, to rule it before it is chaotic, to work hard all night, to sleep without sleep, for the long-term national strategy... Now I pass on the throne to Jiang Chen, and announce it to the world..."

After reading the imperial edict, the palace was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Never thought that after sleeping for one night, the world will change hands, and many people have not come to their senses.

"What are you waiting for and kneel down to worship the new emperor?"

After being reminded by the eunuch, everyone came to their senses.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Seeing all the people kneeling on the ground, condescending, seeing all the officials condescending, a sense of arrogance rose in Jiang Chen's heart, it felt really good to berate Fang Qiu and point the country.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Chen stood up and glanced at the officials.

"Some of you know me, but most of you don't know me, no matter if you know me or not, now let me introduce myself again, I'm originally from the world..."

After Jiang Chen's introduction, everyone knew who this Jiang Chen was.

"The daring traitor actually seeks to usurp the throne, his heart is broken, and he will take his life!"

A military general suddenly challenged Jiang Chen, but just as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, one hand pinched his neck, and he slowly left the ground. This general's expression was very ugly.

"Actually, I admire your courage and appreciate your sincerity, but I want to say that you are foolish and loyal. Look outside, there are no Mongolian Tartars staring at you, but the court is corrupt and incompetent, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are suffering. I The reason why you want to be an emperor is to change this difficult situation, don’t you want to wait for the country to be invaded by Mongolian Tartars before you bow down to the barbarians.”

Jiang Chen let go of his hand, he fell to the ground, struggling to catch his breath.

Seeing Jiang Chen's force, everyone was too scared to make a sound.

Jiang Chen walked to Prime Minister Su's side.

"Aiqing is doing well recently, let me take my money freely."

Prime Minister Su knelt on the ground in fright, and Taiwei Gao behind him also knelt on the ground in fright.

"The decree was sent to confiscate the homes of Mr. Su and Mr. Gao, and the proceeds will go to the state treasury."

"The slave leads the order."

Watching the eunuch go out, the two of them slumped on the ground.

"Come here and send the two of them to death row and ask to be executed at another day."

Two soldiers escorted them out.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Ever since Jiang Chen appeared in the palace, the two of them have already figured out everything. They thought that he gave him a few percent of the profit and how much he took advantage of. It turned out that he was just using them. Why did he only arrange for people to work in the imperial city department? It turned out to be preparations for today. Who would have thought of this, they really regretted it!
If they knew that there was something to say today, they would not have given Jiang Chen a chance.

All the ministers were terrified.

"You don't need to panic, no matter if you are a corrupt or honest official, as long as you hand over half of your property to the treasury, the past things will never be blamed, but after everyone is corrupt, then the old account will be settled together with the new account, and everyone should not Take it to chance, if my spies find out, it will be all over the house."

There are far more corrupt officials than honest ones. If they were to be killed, the entire court would be paralyzed. Without their help, the court would not be able to run smoothly.

So half of the property is confiscated.

Seeing Jiang Chen's ruthlessness, no one dared to take chances.

The next step is to discuss national affairs.

What floods, droughts, insect plagues...

There are really many things, Jiang Chen's brain is turning fast, and he has insight far beyond this era, the things that everyone was helpless, were solved after Jiang Chen said a few words, and the officials looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.

Of course, Jiang Chen listened to their opinions on many things.

Jiang Chen encouraged the officials to use their brains and actively deal with the problem.

The discussion in the courtroom was intense and for a while, I forgot what kind of environment I was in.

I don't understand many things when I become an emperor, so I can only ask for advice humbly.

After retreating, Jiang Chen hastily called back the general who controlled the military power, with the purpose of controlling all the military power.

There are deep-seated reasons for this kind of so-called "abdication" in history. The reason is that the emperor of the "abdication" has completely lost control of military power. Therefore, he has no way to restore the political defeat in the court. They all exist in name only, all the power of the central government has been controlled in the hands of powerful ministers, and the emperor is powerless.

For an emperor, losing military power means losing everything, and military power is the foundation of political power. Although the above-mentioned emperors who were "resigned" have their own weak reasons, the fundamental one is the loss of military power. control.

Jiang Chen is well aware of the importance of military power.

Xiangyang was originally controlled by him, and the military power was in his hands.

The reason why Jiang Chen didn't mobilize Xiangyang's troops was because he was afraid that Kublai Khan would take advantage of the situation.

It has not been announced to the world yet, what he has to do now is to gather power.

The disciples of the Ming Cult, Jiang Chen, will make other arrangements, and they will arrange to fight against the Mongolian army on the battlefield.

Mingjiao senior leaders will lead Mingjiao to cooperate with the army to fight.

The people who searched Prime Minister Su and Taiwei Gao have returned, and this list is handed over to Jiang Chen.

The two confiscated a total of 8000 million taels of yellow and white objects, and various land properties and antique collections will not be introduced.

Now the national treasury is filled a lot.

Although the emperor owns the world, but the whole country has so many things to do every day, so there are naturally many places to spend money.

So the emperor was very poor.

There are many things to do when you first become an emperor.

This new emperor's enthronement ceremony:

Promulgation of the will 2. Ceremony of choosing a date to ascend the throne (choosing an auspicious day for enthronement, this is a must, and there are trivial matters, such as custom-made dragon robes and crowns, drafting edicts and posting notices among the people), enshrining Zen, that is, offering sacrifices to heaven (Qin Shihuang Held the Fengchan Grand Ceremony, which is the most grand ceremony) 3. Amnesty to the world 4. Promulgation of the imperial edict to enthronement, 5. Jade seal of the country 6. Musicians in the palace played, supported by the servants, ascended the throne, the music stopped, and accepted the hundred Guan Zhaohe...

The Ministry of Rites had already handed over a memorial to this matter, but Jiang Chen directly rejected it, and directly omitted these red tapes.

Now to redefine the year.

The reign name has another function, which is to help the emperor declare the legitimacy of the throne.Under normal circumstances, the more doubtful the emperor's succession to the throne, the more he would like to have this kind of reign name.

Jiang Chen thought of a year name called "Shenwu", and he will be Emperor Shenwu from now on.
