Chapter 388

The eighth day of September is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

In the city of Nanjing, thousands of people are empty, wanting to watch the enthronement ceremony.

Officials who really need to participate have received etiquette training in advance, so as not to make jokes when the ceremony is in progress.

Hanlin Academy, officials gather.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu walked side by side, they are now brothers and sisters. They fought there for a long time, wanting to be the dean of the Imperial Academy, but suddenly a Wang Tiaoding was parachuted in.

There is no way to object, not even dare to say strange things.

Because of the latest edition of "Datong Collection", there are several articles in which the author's signature has changed to Wang Tiaoding.

"Xi Ming, have you heard of the inner court system?" Qian Qianyi asked.

Zhang Pu said in a low voice: "I heard that there may be troubles."

Qian Qianyi sighed: "The cabinet ministers, why don't you know how to dissuade them?"

Zhang Pu said: "The founding monarch is not so easy to persuade. As a subject, I can only remedy it slowly in the future."

Wang Diaoding walked in front, and could vaguely hear the conversation between the two.

He also felt the same about this, but he always felt that Zhao Han would not leave such a big loophole in his work.

In particular, the royal family does not buy private property. What should the emperor do if he is short of money in the future? Shameless and begging from civil servants?

Very simple, and overseas income too!

Zhao Han treated the royal family, clan, and relatives quite harshly. While allowing them to be officials, he also set an upper limit for being an official. However, the navy is deliberately mentioned as an exception, and overseas official positions are also deliberately not mentioned.

The royal family will also take a large part of the income from overseas colonies in the future.

The emperor couldn't get much money at home, so he must actively explore overseas territories and get money from overseas colonies. The royal family, clan and foreign relatives can also go overseas for adventure if they want to gain more benefits.

At the same time, Zhao Han will also set the rules, how much income from overseas colonies will be distributed to the imperial court, and how much to the royal family.

And deliberately leave a hole, the overseas colonies have developed to a certain extent, they can declare the establishment of a provincial system. At that time, even if the colony is native, all income will go to the imperial court, leaving only a part to the royal family.

In this way, the emperor has the enthusiasm to develop colonies, and the civil servants have the enthusiasm to develop colonies.

As for the degree of development of the colony, it is assessed by the number of registered Han Chinese and local tax contributions.

The degree of colonial development can be divided into worrying, upper, middle and lower.

In the lower-class colonies, 70% of the income goes to the royal family, and 30% goes to the imperial court.

In medium-sized colonies, 60% of the income goes to the royal family and 40% goes to the imperial court.

The upper-class colony, the royal family and the imperial court share the income equally.

Excellent colonies can discuss the establishment of provinces. After the establishment of the province, within 20 years, the imperial court will get 60% and the royal family will get 40%. Twenty years later, the imperial court will get 80% and the royal family will get 20%. Fifty years later, the royal family will only get 10%, and keep 10% forever.

The emperor and the civil servants will have their brains out because of whether to build a province, and may even engage in a series of show operations in the colonies.

But wouldn't this contradiction be shifted outward?

Colonies are not good, they can be called "overseas territories".

By that time, the royal family would not only be poor, but also extremely rich. The more overseas territories, the richer the emperor, and at the same time the court can divide the money.

...

The officials from the Imperial Academy lined up for two streets before joining the team from the Qintian Academy.

Not long after, Zhao Han's two thousand personal guards came over with a guard of honor, and Zhao Han and Fei Rulan rode in a carriage.

Li Xiangjun and Kou Baimen are both among the ranks of female officials.

They are all wearing the improved version of the Yisa as their uniforms. The style is changed with great effort, and only minor adjustments are made on the traditional Yisa.

As for dragging what is it?

Daming's unicorn suit and flying fish suit are all of the Yisa style.

The onlookers on both sides of the road first saw the majestic and orderly guards, then the majestic female officials, and the civil and military ministers behind them, all felt a sense of freshness in the new dynasty.

Today, everyone wears dresses, and Zhao Han asks people to pay for custom-made dresses, which are only worn on large and solemn occasions.

Official dresses, a watery khaki.

Datong New Dynasty, Tude!

As for Manqing in the north, Shui De.

From the perspective of the five elements, it is difficult to distinguish who is authentic, because Zhu Yuanzhang messed up at that time.

Kublai Khan inherited the legal system of the Jin Kingdom and declared that Yuan belonged to water.

So Zhu Yuanzhang had two choices, one was to inherit the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty belonged to soil; the other was to inherit the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty belonged to wood.

But Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to mess around, and the sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty, announcing that the Ming Dynasty, like the Song Dynasty, belonged to fire.

Zhao Han didn't get entangled in this aspect, so he followed the tradition.

Fire gives birth to earth, Daming belongs to fire, Datong belongs to earth.

The property of soil is also in line with the concept of people-oriented, and the core of this dynasty is fundamentally farmers.

As for the Qing Dynasty, it was purely reckless, trying to get water to overcome fire.

Standing by the side of the road, Sun Chuanting looked at the huge team and said with emotion: "We are late. We arrived in Nanjing yesterday. Today is the new emperor's enthronement."

"It's not too late, it's not too late," Cao Bianjiao said with a smile, "General Fei said that he wants to expand the cavalry, take away our horses and soldiers, and let us come to Nanjing to meet the new emperor. We will definitely have a place in the army in the future."

Wang Tingchen also said: "That's right, the new dynasty already has half a country, and it will definitely be able to drive out the Mandarin slaves and make the world a reality."

"What about the noble concubine and the prince?" Sun Chuanting asked.

Wang Tingchen even changed his title, saying: "Your Majesty is open and aboveboard, and will not treat the former prince harshly."

Sun Chuanting was silent.

Cao Bianjiao said: "General Fei already knows about the existence of the noble concubine and the prince. No matter what we think, it depends on the attitude of the new emperor. We can't just take the prince away quietly, right?"

The prince had smallpox and healed up, but there were many pockmarks on his face.

All of a sudden, some onlookers knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Many people knelt down one after another, and finally both sides of the street knelt down, and Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen also knelt down.

Neither was Sun Chuanting standing, nor was he kneeling.

It's not that he is nostalgic for the previous dynasty, he has already served as an official with Li Zicheng in order to protect the noble concubine and the prince, so why would he care about going to Zhao Han to be a second minister again?

It's just that there are a lot of thoughts, and I feel that I belong to the survivors of the former dynasty.

When he took refuge in Li Zicheng, he didn't feel this way, because Li Zicheng certainly couldn't last long.

Zhao Han was different. Sun Chuanting came all the way south, and the great rule of the south left a deep impression on him.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A store clerk, under the sign of the boss, took out firecrackers and lit them at the door.

Soon an official came over and angrily said: "I told you not to set off firecrackers. If someone takes the opportunity to set off firecrackers, it will be difficult to catch them! You will be fined two hundred renminbi!"

The shop owner smiled and took out copper coins: "Your Majesty is happy, two hundred coins is nothing. There are six hundred coins here, how about I set off three strings of firecrackers?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Just set off the firecrackers. I've also suffered from it. You don't want to be safe in the future!"

"Haha, you're joking, you're joking." The shop owner didn't dare to entertain the officials anymore.

Zhao Han didn't disturb the people, and everything went on as usual.

If it were Daming, even if the prince got married, the whole city would be decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red silk and satin would be hung everywhere on both sides of the street—the government paid for it.

At this moment, the officials lined up to follow and headed to the abandoned Nanjing Imperial City together.

Although more than half of the palace inside was collapsed, the walls of the imperial city were intact, and Zhao Han even sent people to restore them.

This time I will not go out of the city to worship the Altar of Heaven and Earth. There is an Altar of Sheji in the imperial city, and the Altar of Heaven and Earth is sacrificed together.

Next to the Sheji Altar is the Taimiao Temple of the Ming Dynasty, which is now changed to the Taimiao Temple of Datong, and it is also the Temple of Heroes.

In the main hall of the Taimiao, there are only tablets for Zhao Han's parents for the time being.

The side halls on both sides are densely packed with tablets of martyrs, and the spiritual tablets of the monarchs of all dynasties will be guarded by these martyrs in the future.

Kong Zhenyun, the master of the Southern Confucianism, was invited to be the master of ceremonies today, so that's all he has left.

The host of the enthronement ceremony was the first assistant Pang Chunlai. After everyone came to the Taimiao, they paid homage to the martyr's tablet. Then I went to the Sheji Altar next door to sacrifice to the Heaven, Earth, Mountains and Rivers and the Sheji, accompanied by ritual and music throughout the process.

At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the guards moved many benches, and all the officials sat down.

Pang Chun said a few words about the arrangement, and Kong Zhenyun shouted: "Xuan Dengji's edict!"

Li Banghua stepped forward, held up the imperial edict with both hands, opened it and read: "Yingmin Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Emperor Gao, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, obeyed the sky and responded to the people, expelled the Hulu, restored China, and became the king of the Chinese people." ...The Great Ming Dynasty has been in power for more than two hundred years, and today's fate is over..."

Don't think that the content of the edict is very dramatic. Zhu Yuanzhang's enthronement edict begins with the sentence "I am the only king of the Chinese people, since the end of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Han's edict mainly has four contents.

First, point out that he is the Emperor Yingmin, and everything is based on the people.

Second, praise Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements and recognize Ming's contribution to China.

Third, summarize the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Fourth, the Tartars and the Puppet Qing invaded Beijing, and the bandits and rebels were still there, so Zhao Han would continue the Northern Expedition.

Kong Zhenyun retreated to the side and shouted: "All officials stand up!"

The sitting officials immediately stood up and held wat boards.

"kneel!"

The officials knelt down.

"bye!"

All the officials worship.

When Zhao Han abolished the kneeling ceremony, he explained the rules from the beginning, except for important occasions such as sacrifices.

From now on, there is no need to kneel in the court, and all seats will be given, so there is no need to stand to participate in the court meeting.

However, this is the ascension ceremony, and Zhao Han is not representing himself. He is now "the emperor who should serve the people and serve the heavens."

Kong Zhenyun shouted again: "Shanhu!"

The officials shouted: "Long live!"

Kong Zhenyun shouted: "Shanhu!"

The officials shouted: "Long live!"

Kong Zhenyun shouted: "Hurr again!"

The officials shouted: "Long live!"

Zhao Han was wearing a ceremonial robe and a crown, and stood at the top facing the officials. Fei Rulan had already retreated with the female officials.

The scene of Shan Huan live made Zhao Han's blood boil, and he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

He turned around and looked to the rear. It was the abandoned imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. The Forbidden City was overgrown with weeds and the palace was in ruins. Everything reminded Zhao Han of the rise and fall of the dynasty.

Long live Shan Hu, Hua Zhu Qian Qiu. The static whip rings three times, and the clothes and hats worship the crown.

The civil servants are handsome and the generals are vigorous. The imperial way is divided into superior and inferior, and Dan Chi ranks first.

This is the description of Emperor Taizong of Tang in "Journey to the West". I don't know if Zhao Han can touch on it.
