Chapter 822: Emperor Dingwu
According to the Ming Dynasty Constitutional Example, the King of Tang fasted for three days, and under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, he personally visited the Circular Mound of the Temple of Heaven in the south of the city, and paid sacrifices to the altar of mountains and rivers to show his piety. Then he entered from the Ming Gate (formerly the Daqing Gate) and went to the Wenhua Palace to make a precept for the draft.
Because the reign names of Emperor Longwu and Emperor Shaowu both had "Wu", the four reign names formulated by the Ministry of Rites were "Yangwu", "Xingwu", "Dingwu", and "Xuanwu". Finally, the reign names of King Tang were "Dingwu", and the next year was changed to the first year of Dingwu. After the reign name and provincial decree to the throne, a ceremony of ascension was held.
In the imperial city, incense tables, wine, fruits and other items were set up on the Dan Palace of Fengtian Hall. The King of Tang put on the robes and clothes and told the heaven and earth ceremony. He went to the Fengxian Hall and paid a visit. He also decreed the Huagai Hall, and all civil and military officials had court robes and entered the Dan Pavilion to set up the order. Honglu Temple led the deacon to the Huagai Hall, and all officials congratulated him. He bowed five times and three times. After the ceremony, he praised the deacon to perform the ceremony. The emperor came out of the middle gate and was promoted to the throne.
Zhou Shiqi led all officials out of Chengtian Gate and waited for the Hanlin Academy officials to use treasures. The Jinyiwei was waiting in front of the Wumen Gate to hold the imperial edict and put it in the cloud plate, guided the clouds to Chengtian Gate and read the etiquette as usual.
The Grand Tutor Qian Qianyi of the Third Duke read the edict of the King of Tang ascended the throne, which said: "The emperor's edict said: Since ancient times, the heaven and earth have reached their peak, and the sun and the moon cannot be hidden; when a sage comes to rule, he must first distinguish between China and the barbarians. Only my Taizu Long Fei lays a cauldron to show off the throne; the ancestral ruler inherits Zhang Xu and cultivates deep benevolence. After three hundred years of governance, the people are all well-behaved; the 17th dynasty of the people are all filled with rain and dew. The prosperous generation of the world is prosperous, and the communist communism is the only thing that has been the prosperity of public security since the Yan Han Dynasty!
My ancestor, Emperor Gao, was the youngest son of the Tang Dynasty. He founded Nanyang, guarded the vassals and troupes in the past ten generations. When did he expect that the country would change, the evil enemy would be arrogant; the country would be stormed and the dogs and sheep would be in trouble. My eldest brother, Emperor Shaozongxiang, lamented the dust of the temple, Zhang Juyi, and ruled the fortune of the capital; the third brother, Emperor Wenzongjie, was angry at Changting's whistle and inherited this rule, and walked to Guangzhou. I regretted that the Haotian was not silenced, and the northern expedition was not in a short time; the dragon steered, and the evil obstruction came one after another, and how sad it was!
I was so sad that I was left with my bow, and my firewood was worried about danger; I moved to the south of the world, and my ambitions were remnant. Last year, I was killed in the capital of Yunnan and the carriage was out of hunting; the clan and the community were dispersed, and the artifacts were unavailable. The subjects of Guangdong and Chu came to welcome me; they persuaded them to advance, but refused to give up. Therefore, I temporarily allowed the country to be supervised to peace with the people. I was so talented and poor. I was protected by my ancestors, and my ministers worked hard to help them. Fortunately, I achieved the career of Yan Zhao Guangwu and restored the old half of the southern capital. It was the power of all loyalties. How dare I steal his achievements?!
Now I have told the temple that it was completed and the revival was in the future. The great treasure was not my desire, so I wanted to return to the vassal residence. However, the ministers and the people all recommended the throne and continued. After careful consideration, I was extremely eager to declare. Although the southern capital was restored, Hu horses still drank in the river in Huaiyang. I was worried that the people in the north were still in the central plains, and the remaining people were still leading the heads in the Central Plains. Therefore, I encouraged Yu Yun to look forward to the people. On November 18, I only told the heaven, earth, the temple, the country, that is, the emperor was located in Nanjing.
In the play, the country is the country of the emperor, and being close to the people is filial; the world is the world of the people, and loving the ministers is righteous. I have governed the heavens and ruled the people, so how dare I plan my own private interests? In the future, I will try to reform with the people; I will abandon greed and close to the virtuous, and regain the foundation. The upper and lower levels will be united, and the old borders will be restored to thousands of miles; the king and ministers will unite and achieve the rule of the three generations, how can there be no things in the world that cannot be done? I am so proud!"
After the edict was read, all officials immediately shouted long live. After the ceremony, Emperor Dingwu ordered the reward of the meritorious soldiers and officials, and issued an edict to enthrone the Zhou Shiqi as the King of Qi.
"Pampering the title of the best, a great achievement for the poor; rewarding the title of kindness and destiny, using extraordinary achievements. The Duke of Guangdong, Zhou Shixiang, was loyal and wise, had a strong faith and righteousness, and was both civil and military, and rushed to relieve difficulties. He was alone in his body and was able to support the good fortune of the people; he was able to suppress all the evil spirits with his few soldiers and support the great horses; he was able to praise the wing royal family, consolidate the common people, support the dangers and restore the southern capital. He worked together with the loyalty of Fenyang, and had great honors, so how could he be reluctant to reward?! He was promoted to the King of Qi, and the imperial edict was issued to the country."
After reading the imperial edict of Emperor Zhou Shixiang as the King of Qi, Hong Yuao, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace and the Minister of Rites, his highness was a little quiet for a moment.
After a moment, Zhou Shi Xianghong shouted: "My decree Zhou Shi thanked him!"
In addition, Hong Shiming, the Minister of Rites, came out to read out the rewards of Emperor Dingwu for the soldiers who have made meritorious rehabilitation of the country. The list was drafted by Zhou Shi in person two days ago, and was agreed upon by the cabinet. At this time, it was just to use the Dabao and formally declare the emperor to the world.
Previously, at the suggestion of Zhou Shixiang, most of the kings, dukes, marquis and Bos in the Yongli court were retained, so Li Dingguo was still appointed as "the emperor of Fengtian Yiyun Zhongxing Xuanli Ding Dao was difficult to maintain the righteous meritorious person", and a prince of Jin in another surname; Zhu Chenggong was "the emperor of Fengtian Yiyun Zhongxing Xuanli Ding Dao was difficult to maintain the righteous meritorious person", and a prince of Fujian in another surname; Li Laiheng was "the emperor of Fengtian Yiyun Zhongxing Xuanli Ding Dao was difficult to maintain the righteous meritorious person", and a prince of Xianyang in another surname; Feng Shuangli King of Qingyang and Bai Wenxuan King Gongchang remained.
In terms of civil officials, Guo Zhiqi was awarded the title of "Fengtian Yiyun Zhongxing Xuanyou Guards the Main Civil Affairs Office", Duke Chao Guo; Duke Xiang of Song was awarded the title of "Zhongxing Xuanyou Guards the Main Civil Affairs Office", and the Marquis of Qionghai; Zhang Huangyan was awarded the title of "Fengtian Yiyun Zhongxing Xuanyou Guards the Main Civil Affairs Office", and the Marquis of Zhoushan.
Among the generals of the Taiping Army, there were six people who were granted the title of Marquis of Nanhai, Tieyi, who was granted the title of Marquis of Deqing, Shao Jiugong of Zengcheng, Zhao Sihai, who was granted the title of Marquis of Xinhui, Jiang He, who was granted the title of Marquis of Xiangshan, and Suna of Xin'an.
Those who were granted the title of Bo, Qi Hao was granted the title of Bo, Shao Chengguo was granted the title of Bo, Li Fengming (blind Li) was granted the title of Bo, and the king. The assistant minister was granted the title of Bo, Jing'an Bo, Wang Youxie was granted the title of Bo, and Zhu Qinglai was granted the title of Bo, Dingnan Bo. He also posthumously appointed Hu Quan as the Marquis of Luo Ding, Qin Zhisheng as the Marquis of Sihui, and Ge Zheng as the Marquis of Nanhai. The other meritorious soldiers were rewarded.
Because of the King of Qi and Zhou Shixiang, the mansion where he lived in Nanjing, became the King of Qi. The generals were happy and wanted to congratulate the King of Qi, but Zhou Shixiang refused to agree. He said that he could congratulate the King, but the killing of Tartars was even more severe.
That night, Zhou Shixiang presided over the military and political meeting at the Qi Palace.
The meeting decided to include the various grains seized by the Qing army's military rations and traitors and officials and gentry departments in the grain warehouse, and use grain, salt and iron tools as controlled materials to privately trade ten stones of grain, twenty kilograms of salt, and more than one hundred kilograms of iron as a punishment for the Tonglu. In the future, the private grain transactions could only be carried out through the grain warehouse to implement the grain coupon and silver coin system in order to obtain a large amount of money and grain resources.
In terms of military affairs, the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps commanded Yu Shizhong to lead the fifth town, the thirteenth town, and the new three towns had arrived at Jiang Zi'an Wharf. In addition, the second town that arrived in Nanjing in advance, he captured the first town, Xinyi Town, Xin2 Town and Xinyi Team with Zhou Shi, with a total force of more than 70,000. In terms of the navy, the Dongting Lake Navy, Wuchang Water Camp and Jiangnan Navy have been combined into the Ming Yangtze River Navy, with more than 420 ships and more than 8,000 troops.
"Cross the river and pull out the Jiangbei camp of the Tartars!"
