Chapter 135 Shao Wu Emperor Zhu Cilong
Zhu Cilang gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and announced loudly: "Eunuch Wei Xu Hongji led his army to attack the palace city and planned to rebel. He was unforgivable to forgive him. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the nine clans should be destroyed!"
When Xu Hongji heard the words "destroying the nine clans" from Zhu Cilang, he felt as if he was ashamed. He was not afraid of death. He also knew that he had failed this time. He was fighting to the death anyway. If he won, he would be the minister of the dragon. If he lost, he would succeed and lose the king. Since he failed, he should accept the punishment of being executed. But he did not expect that Zhu Cilang would kill the nine clans as soon as he spoke!
The extermination of nine clans means that the big family of Duke of Wei, who was living with the country, really had to retire this time after enjoying nearly three hundred years of wealth and glory. When the Taizu killed the meritorious officials, many of the meritorious officials only killed the head of the family, but did not implicate the descendants. It seems that the new emperor is going to uproot the family of Duke of Wei this time.
"Ah!" Xu Hongji shouted, vomiting blood, and died on the spot.
"Head of the family! Head of the family!" The soldiers cried around Xu Hongji's body.
"Kill!" Zhao Peng had no mercy and ordered a massacre to start a massacre. For these Xu family members, he had never thought of surrendering them, because these people were slaves raised by the Xu family. They only knew the Xu family, but not the country. Once the order of the head of the family conflicted with the emperor's imperial edict, they would accept the order of the head of the family and resist the order without hesitation. Therefore, these people had no need to surrender at all, and the only way was to kill them.
The killer captain spearmen sprinted forward, and the three-edged armor-breaking cone ruthlessly pierced the servants' armor, pierced their bodies, and nailed them to the ground ruthlessly.
As the spear was pulled out, blood stormed.
The more than 10,000 mobs in the Beijing camp who besieged the capital completely failed. Two dukes were killed and Xin Chengbo was captured. The undead rebels fled from the palace city.
Zhu Cilang, who had won a great victory, changed into a crown suit. Surrounded by Han Zanzhou and a group of eunuchs, he walked to Fengtian Hall with a swagger, stood on the steps, and looked around the civil and military officials kneeling all over the ground.
Although it was midnight, there were many civil and military officials gathered in front of Fengtian Palace. Not only were Shi Kefa and others who had been kneeling in the palace for a whole day, but even Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Wang Duo, Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Youyu, Chang Yingjun, Li Zushu, Jiao Mengxiong, Guo Zuoyong and other civil and military officials who had already returned home arrived.
"My dear friends, flatten!" Hupan made a gesture to signal everyone to get up.
Wearing a seven-beam crown and a purple official robe, Shi Kefa, holding an ivory tablet in his hand, stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Cixuan and said, "Your Majesty, King Fu has issued an edict to abdicate, and abdicate to Your Majesty. The edict is in the ministry. This edict is still missing cabinet tickets. I hope Your Majesty will ask Master Ma, how to decide the issue of the votes?"
Zhu Cilang nodded and shouted: "Where is the Master of Horse!"
"I am here!" Ma Shiying quickly stood up, knelt in front of the hall, bowed three times and nine times.
Zhu Cilang looked at Ma Shiying with a smile: "Master Master, how to decide the cabinet bill for King Fu's abdication? "
Ma Shiying is a smart man. He knew that King Fu stepped down and the Crown Prince Zhu Ciying was already a nail on the iron plate. It was determined that there was no problem with the cabinet vote. Anyway, Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Hongtu, and Wang Duo had already passed, and he was not much less than him. He was not even a vote. Why should he be this bad guy? So Ma Shiying kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, King Fu abdicates and returns the emperor to you. It is natural for me to support Your Majesty!"
So in this way, King Fu's abdication edict was approved 100% unanimously, King Fu officially abdicated, and Zhu Cilang officially became the throne of the Ming Dynasty. What he wanted was to determine the year name and officially ascend the throne on a date.
The year names that Zhu Cilang can choose include Yixing, Gan Sheng, Hong Xing, Hong Xian, Longwu, Shaowu and other year names.
As a hero from the Dragon, Zhao Peng could definitely see these reign titles that Zhu Cilang could choose. Yixing reign titles. When the crown prince was still in the hands of Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin had called this reign title. Li Zicheng, who fled to Xi'an, has also called the reign titles of the first year of Yixing in the Ming Dynasty. However, of course, it was not Zhu Cilang who ascended the throne in Xi'an, but his younger brother Zhu Cijiang.
The Ming Dynasty naturally would not recognize the reign title of Yixing, nor would it be possible to recognize Zhu Cijiong, who was still in the hands of the thieves, as the emperor. Therefore, Zhu Cilang ascended the throne and became the emperor, so the reign title of Yixing naturally could not be used anymore.
Seeing the two alternative year names of Hong Xing and Hong Xian, Zhao Peng felt funny: Hong Xing, isn’t this a gang organization in the later movies of the Young and Dangerous? This name sounds uncomfortable; Hong Xian? That’s even more funny, this is Yuan Datou’s year name.
Zhao Peng's eyes finally fell on the word Shaowu, and he said, "Shaowu is a good year. Now the Ming Dynasty has entered a chaotic world. We need to promote the Northern Expedition to wipe out Chuang Ni and Jiannu, and regain the lost land!"
The pedantic Shi Kefa disagreed: "Your Majesty, I think it's not possible! The ancestor of the Ming Dynasty taught that the emperor and the scholars and officials ruled the world together. Your Majesty should value the gentry in the world and should not be with the martial arts. At that time, the late Emperor Xuande was posthumously named Wuzong, which was despised by others. Your Majesty should think twice."
Zhu Cilang said, "Her Shi Ge, Zhao Qing said nothing badly. Now in the chaotic times of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral teachings cannot be violated. Naturally, I will not violate the ancestral system. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty will naturally rule the world with the scholars and officials. If you want to attack the Central Plains in the north, you still need martial arts. I think Shaowu's reign is very good!"
Qian Qianyi, who is good at changing his responsibilities with the wind and has always been a fence-bearer, stood up: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng also stood up: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Since everyone agreed to the year name of Longwu, Shi Kefa no longer insisted, so he bowed and retreated.
"Dear friends, you have been working hard all day today. It's too late. Please come back first." Zhu Cilang smiled and waved his hand. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There was a trace of whiteness in the sky, and it was almost dawn. After working all day, it was time to go back and have a good sleep.
"If you have something to do, please report it, and if you have nothing to do, you will leave the court." Han Zanzhou shouted in a sharp voice.
Everyone retreated one after another. When Ma Shiying withdrew, she was uneasy. Qian Qianyi passed by him and showed a proud smile at Ma Shiying.
"The villain is successful!" Ma Shiying sneered at Qian Qianyi, who was so proud.
After leaving Fengtian Palace, Zhu Cixuan said to Zhao Peng: "Brother-in-law, although King Fu is extremely guilty, he is my uncle after all. I really can't bear to harm him. I can spare him. I just hesitate to keep the title of King Fu? As for Ma Shiying, what do you think should you deal with?"
Zhao Peng replied: "Your Majesty, Ma Shiying cannot die or fall! Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, the nobles in the court have suffered heavy casualties and injuries. The Donglin Party is as powerful as a rainbow, and there is no restraint of the nobles. If Ma Shiying falls again, then the Donglin Party in the court will dominate the whole family! Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when the late emperor was alive, the Eastern Lin Party in the court was dominant, which led to the late emperor not being able to collect taxes, and the people in the northwest were overwhelmed to rebel and rebellion? If Ma Shiying falls, who can control the Donglin Party for Your Majesty? As long as Your Majesty pardons Ma Shiying's crimes, I believe this person will be loyal to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Cilang nodded with a smile: "What my brother-in-law said is so! I think so in my heart. Ma Shiying must stay! He can control the Donglin Party. As for the matter of King Fu, I just thought about it, so I should leave the title of King Fu."
Zhao Peng thought of a bad idea: "Your Majesty, the title of King Fu can be retained, but King Fu has lost his fiefdom. If King Fu leads his troops back to the Central Plains to regain his lost territory, King Fu will not have such talent. However, I have an idea, which can place King Fu's fiefdom in Jiaozhi or Boni, or the Three Buddhas, so that he can expand his territory for our Ming Dynasty."
