Feng Ruoshu's death only made Zhu Hongsan sad for a while. This was already very good for the affectionate Zhu Hongsan. Next, he was going to prepare for the throne ceremony.

On the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, a passenger ship from Nanyang was parked on the Guangzhou Wharf. This is very common in Guangzhou. Now Nanyang is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Every day, merchant ships from Nanyang dock at the Guangzhou Wharf.

A tall middle-aged man came down from the boat. It was Ma Jiyuan, who was sent to Luzon as the county magistrate. However, he is no longer the seventh-rank county magistrate. He dragged his nephew Zhu Hai's blessing. Ma Jiyuan now replaced Fu Wenlong and became the governor of the Nanyang Dynasty, becoming the first-rank chief official.

A luxurious carriage was parked on the dock. Ma Fu, the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion beside the carriage, saw Ma Jiyuan get off the boat and rushed forward to greet him.

"Welcome to the old man back. The second master has prepared a banquet in the mansion. Please get in the car!"

Ma Jiyuan looked at the carriage and frowned. He was honest and did not look down on Ma Mingyuan's luxurious enjoyment.

However, after more than half a year of life in Southeast Asia, Ma Jiyuan has matured a lot, and is no longer the same as Ma Jiyuan who used to point at Zhu Hongsan and curse.

Ma Jiyuan got on the carriage and came to Ma Mingyuan's mansion. Ma Laoer was standing at the gate to greet him. Ma Laoer Ma Jingyuan also came. Standing behind Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan's sons also came out to greet his uncle.

Seeing Ma Jiyuan tanned by the sun in the South Ocean, Ma Mingyuan said: "Brother, you have suffered!"

Ma Jiyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Luzon is not as difficult as outsiders think, but the temperature cannot be withstand it."

"Brother, stop talking, go into the house first, rest, let's have a good meal after washing up!"

Ma Jiyuan went to the mansion to take a shower, and after finishing his clothes, he came out. Ma Mingyuan and Ma Jingyuan took their whole family to salute Ma Jiyuan. Now all the old people in the Ma family have died, so Ma Jiyuan became the head of the family.

After the ceremony, I sat down to have a meal. The three brothers of the Ma family were at a table and the children were outside.

When Ma Mingyuan saw Ma Jingyuan lowering his head to eat and not talking, he knew that this brother was unhappy that he had been bad to him in recent years.

"Third brother, don't be angry. The second brother used to be bad, so he didn't care about you, but don't forget that no matter how you are, the blood from the Ma family is still flowing from you!"

Ma Jingyuan is in his thirties this year and is considered an official, so he naturally knows this situation, but it is impossible for him to be suppressed by Ma Lao Er all year round and it is impossible to have no resentment in his heart.

Ma Jiyuan sighed and said, "Two brothers, I went to Changhua before I came back. I was going to pick up the second son Shaoji, but I didn't expect to find out that Shaoji had been dead for a month. Local officials said that he was killed by gunpowder during the mine!"

When Ma Mingyuan heard this news, he was shocked. What was killed by gunpowder? Qiongzhou Prefecture is Tong Yangjia's territory, and Tong Tuchang is even the head of Changhua Iron Mine. It was not easy for them to kill someone. Unexpectedly, the Tong family was so cruel.

"I didn't expect that Ma Jiyuan would have to experience the pain of losing his son until he was old!"

Although Ma Jingyuan was not welcomed, he was a member of the Ma family after all. After hearing the news, he asked: "Brother, is Shaoji's nephew attacked by the Tong family!"

"Is this a big deal? Third brother, you saw it. Tong Yangjia has been trying to kill us this time! Do you still want to stay out of it?"

When Ma Mingyuan came to power, he found that his power had been basically completely destroyed by Tong Yangjia. In order to seize power as soon as possible, he had to unite the entire Ma family's strength.

Ma Jingyuan nodded. He also knew the cruelty of political struggle. Tong Yangjia, no matter whether you are a legitimate son or a illegitimate son, as long as you are labeled as the Ma family, it will be ruthless suppression.

"Brother, what do you think you should do?" said Ma Jingyuan, who was determined. "We can't let Shaoji's nephew die in vain."

Ma Jiyuan shook his head and said, "We were naive in the past. I thought that the King of Chu started with our Ma family and could not treat the Ma family badly. But now it seems that the saying of accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger makes sense. If we fight back against Tong Yangjia immediately, it would be another matter to say whether we can succeed. The King of Chu may have a big board."

Ma Mingyuan was very surprised. He didn't expect that this Taoist master had a good idea in Luzon for more than half a year.

"Brother, you think you have great ideas, let me tell you!"

"The first goal of the King of Chu is to resist the Qing army. If you do well, that will win the favor of the King of Chu. Tong Yangjia is so domineering now, isn't he just getting the iron ore for the King of Chu in Qiongzhou? And the second brother, why did the King of Chu suppress you? Isn't it also a local examination to destroy the relationship between the King of Chu and the scholars in Guangdong?"

When Ma Mingyuan heard his elder brother mention his glorious history, he blushed a little.

"Then, brother, what should we do?"

"It's very simple. Work hard to make the difference and let the King of Chu see that our Ma family is useful to him. This will naturally ensure that our Ma family will remain prosperous!"

"But Saugi's nephew's revenge is not avenged?"

"Of course we have to report it, but it's not now. We have to collect evidence from Tong Yangjia and their uncles and nephews, but don't act rashly, try to kill Tong Yangjia with one blow, and you'll kill Tong Yangjia!"

Looking at Ma Jiyuan, whose faces were deformed, Ma Lao Er and Ma Lao San saw his brother become like this for the first time. It seems that his son's death has a great impact on Ma Jiyuan.

Less than half an hour after the Ma Jiajia dinner ended, two secret reports were placed on Zhu Hongsan's desk, one from the Jinyiwei and one from the East Factory. Zhu Hongsan looked at the two secret reports with little difference. It seemed that both intelligence agencies were very responsible.

Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see Ma Jiyuan taking his anger over his son's death. In fact, Ma Shaoji's death had nothing to do with Tong Yangjia, and it was Zhu Hongsan's order to command the Jinyiwei. Only in this way can the Ma brothers and Tong Yangjia's uncle and nephew be in the same power, and he can balance between the two families and the imperial power can be preserved.

"It's good to fight! It's better to fight than a stagnant pool of water. As long as the army is in my hands, it's okay no matter how messed up. Well! Tong Yangjia was hit by himself a bit too much now, so I should help him!"

No matter what unethical ideas Zhu Hongsan was thinking about here, the second year of Hongguang passed soon, but the New Year was not the third year of Hongguang, but the first year of Shenwu.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Shenwu, King Zhu Hongsan of Chu officially ascended the throne in Guangzhou Prefecture, proclaiming the world, and another local force joined in the battle for the world.

The throne ceremony is far less grand than what later generations have promoted. Such auspiciousness from heaven, white turtle appearing in the world, etc., were all imposed on Zhu Hongsan's descendants to enhance his status.

The ceremony of ascension to the throne is very simple. At sunrise in the morning, Zhu Hongsan was wearing a vassal robes and accepted the persuasion of the ministers. Then the gentry in Guangzhou persuaded him to advance, followed by the persuasion of the citizens. Zhu Hongsan agreed to be emperor helplessly, and then went back to change his clothes and changed into the emperor's crown. The crown is composed of two parts: a crown crown and a dress. The crown crown is covered with a wooden crown plate. The crown plate is round in front and back, symbolizing the roundness of the sky; the crown plate is painted blue-black on the top and yellow-red on the bottom, symbolizing the heaven and earth yellow; it is made of colorful silk ropes.

Jade beads are stringed up and hung in front and back of the crown plate, symbolizing the passage of time; they are made of silk cotton and hanged in their ears to remind the king not to believe slander. When wearing the crown of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the crown of the Emperor of Ming should be low in front and high in the back, symbolizing the care of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for the people. This is also the original meaning of the word "Crown". The dress is also composed of a top and a lower robe. The top is blue-black, symbolizing the sky; the bottom robe is yellow and red, symbolizing the earth. The top is painted with six different patterns, while the bottom robe is embroidered with six different patterns. These patterns are collectively called the twelve chapter patterns.

After changing into the emperor's uniform, Zhu Hongsan wanted to inform the world, but now the country is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, so this step is to simplify it, that is, Zhu Hongsan recites the sacrificial text in the hall. The next step is to announce his ancestors, because the ancestral temples are all in Nanjing, and this step is also to simplify it. Next, he must confer his previous three generations as emperors. Zhu Hongsan's step is more troublesome, because Zhu Hongsan attacked the banner of maintaining Zhu Yuanzhang's orthodox status, so he had to take over Zhu Yuanzhang's status. In this way, starting from the King of Chu Zhu Zhen, Zhu Hongsan's ancestors of all generations had to be awarded the emperor.

Zhu Hongsan is the twelfth generation grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang's no title, all the ten generations in the middle were to be named emperor. Just naming a name made it take a long time for the cabinet ministers to work hard until Zhu Hongsan's dead ghost father Zhu Rong 21 was named Emperor Xing. Zhu Hongsan's father's name was so ugly that the minister wanted to change it, but Zhu Hongsan refused it sternly, because his father's name was changed by his son. In fact, Zhu Hongsan hated this very much.

My father who has met, it’s great to be the emperor by dragging his blessings on his own. He still wants to change his name? There is no one at all. Zhu Hongsan’s own name has not been changed, so why did he change it? The name is a code name. Although Zhu Hongsan doesn’t care about it, his descendants in later generations really feel embarrassing. Zhu Hongsan! This name is even more unpleasant than Zhu Chongba. A hundred years after Zhu Hongsan’s death, his name was changed to Zhu Hongming by the emperor at that time. He was so awesome.

Although he didn't like his father, his mother Zhu Hongsan respected him very much. Although Zhu Hongsan traveled through time, he could not grow up without Zhao Chunhua's ten years of raising him. Half of the hundreds of words of succession edict were praising his mother. In the end, Zhu Hongsan gave his mother a posthumous title that was unprecedented and probably no one to come. Xiaoci Ren Xuan Cheng Xian Gongyi was the destiny of the empress dowager. China

In ancient times, the posthumous titles of the queen were all fourteen characters. In order to repay his mother's kindness for raising her, Zhu Hongsan insisted on adding the four words "Qi Sheng Wan Sheng" to it. In this way, the posthumous title became eighteen characters, and all the ministers opposed it. This was four more characters than Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Ma Dajiao, and only two fewer characters than the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and there were two words in it. This was the emperor's name. You, Zhu Hongsan, are shameless, and we ministers are shameless.
