Chapter 610 The First Year of Hongwu
Don't get me in trouble?

I haven't heard this for a long time.

In Su Yonglin's memory, such words are often said by elderly parents to their children who are working hard outside.

They take care of the difficulty of their children's work outside, and they are careful about their own lives, for fear of having a headache and stumbling, they have to go to the hospital, so that their children are worried and do not know how to do it.

So this sentence is full of human affection.

For a time, Su Yonglin was very emotional.

"You are such a good father."

"I gave birth myself, I take care of it myself, I can't tell them to really do something wicked and unreasonable, and now they have different identities, they have become relatives of the royal family, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me.

I thought about it for a long time, and felt that Zhao Zuoliang had never done any earth-shattering good things in his life, nor could he do earth-shattering bad things, which would be recorded in the history books and stabbed in the spine of future generations for thousands of years. "

Zhao Zuoliang shook his head with a wry smile: "No matter what, this old face can't be lost."

Su Yonglin listened and said nothing.

The two were silent for a while, and then Zhao Zuoliang stood up.

"Okay, let's go, don't bother you anymore, you can go on with your work, you will be the emperor soon, there are many things to do."

Zhao Zuoliang said and went out.

After walking a few steps, he heard Su Yonglin's voice behind him.

"Let them read more "Xunzi", or read monographs on the law, or they can also read monographs on arithmetic, learn arithmetic, and see what talents they have. This will be good for the subsequent imperial examinations. ."

Zhao Zuoliang stopped in his footsteps and looked back at Su Yonglin with a half-smile.

"Does this count as the use of power for personal gain? Will it be recorded in the history books to be ridiculed by future generations? Saying that you, the emperor, is making things easier for your relatives?"

"No, I will announce this soon, everyone will know, it's just a few days sooner or later."

"That's good."

Zhao Zuoliang nodded, then turned and left.

Seeing Zhao Zuoliang's leaving back, Su Yonglin sighed a little.

Whether it's Zhao Xirui or his two incompetent eldest brothers, they are very lucky to have a father like Zhao Zuoliang.

Rather, it was a lucky event for him, Su Yonglin.

Because of Zhao Zuoliang's efforts, Su Yonglin will gain precious time to cultivate talents and increase the reserve of reserve cadres. These time are really too important for Su Yonglin.

The existence of Zhao Zuoliang, he and Su Yonglin's pace, will give Su Yonglin a very crucial first move when the situation is unstable in the early days of the founding of the country.

He even took a big black pot for Su Yonglin and carried a lot of infamy, causing many people to misunderstand him and hate him.

old man...

On September [-], Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui held a rehearsal for the enthronement ceremony under the arrangement of officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The enthronement ceremony is only once, and there must be no mistakes. Although Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui have high status, on this day only, they need to be qualified actors.

According to Su Yonglin's request, officials from the Ministry of Rites placed the venue for the enthronement ceremony next to the ancestral hall of the Martyrs about ten miles northeast of the Central Capital City. At that time, Su Yonglin will pay tribute to the heroic souls who died in the battle for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty here, and then ascend the throne under their watchful eyes. for God.

Rather than sacrificing those meaningless beings, Su Yonglin is more willing to ascend the throne and become emperor under the watchful eyes of the dead heroes, let them witness their unchanging heart, and let them witness the road they will continue to walk on.

If there is a day when they are done, Su Yonglin will be very happy to come back here and tell them that their ideal has come true.

Proclaiming emperor under their witness is also more in line with Su Yonglin's requirements than proclaiming emperor under the witness of heaven and earth - to be the emperor, not the emperor.

All differences will disappear at least on this day, and people will only pay attention to Su Yonglin's success in proclaiming the emperor, officially becoming the emperor, and then officially distributing power, starting the so-called new dynasty and new atmosphere.

On the first day of October, Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui together, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and under the watchful eyes of the entire Zhongdu City, set off on a carriage from Zhongdu City to the ancestral hall of the Martyrs in the northeast of the city to hold the enthronement ceremony.

Su Yonglin did not refuse the people's onlookers at this ceremony, and would rather dispatch a large number of troops to maintain order, and let everyone see this scene, let them know that Su Yonglin is about to become their ruler.

During the ceremony, Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui burned incense together to honor the loyal souls who died in battle and prayed.

As the host, Kong Zheng held the "Edict of Emperor Daming's Enthronement of All People" written for Su Yonglin by the entire Ministry of Rites, and read it aloud when Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui burned incense and prayed.

It doesn't matter whether the people present heard it or not, and it doesn't matter whether they understand it or not, he just reads it himself.

As long as Su Yonglin can hear it.

Su Yonglin heard it. He heard it clearly. He didn't like this imperial edict full of old ideas of the old era, nor did he hear any real beauty of words.

Except for the sentence "I should be the emperor, not the emperor", which he was quite satisfied with, nothing else mattered.

Su Yonglin had never cared about this meaningless edict of enthronement, he was just sitting in the ancestral hall of the loyal soul, and his thoughts had been drifting back to three years ago.

From their first official battle to the final siege, they cleaned up the Golden State Center, and the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for it were all in front of his eyes.

After Su Yonglin occupied the Central Capital, he tried his best to collect their information from the places where the Restoration Army under his command fought, from Linyi to Zhending, and from Hejian to Central Capital.

Finally, the tablets or unclaimed ashes of these people were sent to Zhongdu together, and the Martyrs' ancestral hall was erected in the northeast of the city with beautiful mountains and clear waters to worship these war dead of the Restoration Army.

Those who are enshrined are naturally left to their families, and only tablets are erected. Those who are not enshrined will be enshrined in the ancestral hall of loyalty and martyrs together with the ashes of China Unicom, and will receive incense from the people forever.

At this moment, Su Yonglin was thinking, do all these martyrs really understand what they died for?

Do they know that they are dying for the liberation of future generations?
Perhaps most people are still unclear, or confused, when they died in battle, they had not yet received a complete political education, and they had not had a deeper understanding of all this, but this did not prevent them from dying generously .

Perhaps because the Restoration Army gave them three meals to fill their stomachs, they were very grateful and chose to die.

Perhaps the policies of the Restoration Army took care of their families, provided them with enough food, distributed fields, houses, farm implements, seeds, and reduced or exempted taxes.

Most of them don't know explicitly that they are dying for the liberation of the entire nation and the descendants of the people, and they don't know that the great change for which they gave their lives was founded.

After the reform, each of them is a hero, a hero, and worth remembering.

Although this change may not be successful, Su Yonglin has no certainty that this change can be successful, but as long as there is still a breath, he must fight for it to the end.

They are looking at me, how can I give up halfway, or give up martial arts by myself?

With such a mood, Su Yonglin offered his last condolences to these heroic souls.

Kong Zheng finally finished reading the stinky and long edict for enthronement. Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui changed their formal dresses, which symbolized the emperor and the empress, together under the service of the attendants, and boarded the high platform built in the ancestral hall of the Martyrs.

On the high platform, he sat on the throne, and Zhao Xirui sat on the throne beside him.

According to the etiquette, the ministers officially recognized Su Yonglin as the emperor who ruled them and held all power, and officially completed the whole process.

At the end of the process, Kong Zheng officially announced the name of the new country and the title of the emperor.

The name of the new country is Ming.

Everyone knows what it means here.

The new emperor's reign was Hongwu.

The implication is that the emperor's martial arts is overwhelming, and he overthrew the previous dynasty and established a new dynasty. So everyone, don't forget that this emperor is so awesome, you know?

Who would dare not know?

So from now on, within the territory of the Daming Kingdom, the old Jin Kingdom era name will be abolished, and the Hongwu era name of the Daming Kingdom will be the only era name.

This year marks the 31st year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the 13th year of the prosperity of the Western Xia Dynasty, and the sixth year of Zhenglong in the Kingdom of Jin, which never perished.

But now, none of that matters.

This year is the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
