The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 827 Who is the Crown Prince?

Gu Hengbo hardly hesitated: "The concubine is willing to die with you, what else can't?"

"That's good." Gong Dingzi stepped forward, closed the door, and came to Gu Hengbo's side.

He lowered his head and whispered, "Speak to the Holy One for me and give me a promotion."

"..." Gu Hengbo's face was dull, full of disbelief.

I really didn't expect my husband to become such a person after returning to prison.

In the past, she thought Gong Dingzi was very talented and capable, but she didn't expect Gong Dingzi to look like this now.

She was ashamed and angry, thinking of what Zeng Rou said, she had no choice but to say: "Concubine Zeng said it, and she will speak to the Holy Majesty in the future."

"What's the use of Concubine Zeng's words, they are all your opponents, you have to tell the Holy Majesty in person." Gong Dingzi said.

What opponent?What are you talking about, Gu Hengbo was so angry that he was about to cry again: "I have never met the Holy Majesty, and I have no chance to meet the Holy Majesty."

Of course Gong Dingzi didn't believe it. What are you pretending? Your clothes are all torn like this?

He said angrily: "Then you find a way to meet the Holy Majesty and tell me in person."

"A concubine—a concubine—" Gu Hengbo wanted to say, what can I do to make the Holy Majesty listen to me?what am i
"Aren't you good at playing the xiao, just play it with your heart." Gong Dingzi said angrily, "The sage who plays the flute is happy, and everything will be according to you."

When Gu Hengbo heard this, his whole body trembled with anger, his whole body was trembling: "You, who do you take as a concubine?"

Gong Dingzi's words just now shocked her, and she didn't expect to say such insane words.

Gong Dingzi blurted out: "Who do you think you are?" Didn't I buy it from the Red Mansion?
After finishing speaking, he probably felt that he had made a mistake, so he quickly shut up and looked at Gu Hengbo with some embarrassment.

If Gu Hengbo had hoped for him before, after hearing this sentence, he was completely speechless.

She stared at Gong Dingzi fiercely, she couldn't believe that the person she used to sleep with, the perfect husband in her heart, would become like this.

Gong Dingzi was stunned by her stare, so he could only say in a good voice: "The military department is in chaos now, and I'm also very scared. If you still think about the relationship between husband and wife, I hope you can help me."

Gu Hengbo took a deep breath, with tears in his eyes: "Husband, are you sure that I want my concubine to help you at all costs?"

Gong Dingzi was noncommittal, just looked at him quietly.

Gu Hengbo smiled sadly: "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog, it's natural for me to be a concubine, and I respect my husband's words."

That night, Gong Dingzi moved to the other side to sleep on the grounds that he was unwell. Gu Hengbo wanted to make a last effort. After taking a bath, he wore a tulle and found the next door. Unexpectedly, the door was locked and he let her knock. ignore.

Gu Hengbo was completely desperate.

As Ding Yi taught Ding Ye, as Ding Ye said, for the superior, there are always some personal desires and things that cannot be seen.

Therefore, when you are an emperor, you must have treacherous ministers around you to keep and reuse.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, the Forbidden City held a grand conferment ceremony for the empress.

All the civil and military officials in the capital came outside the Huangji Hall. Ding Yi led all the officials to offer incense first, then kowtow, and after the bells and drums in the distance rang three times, they walked up the steps to the main hall together.

The whole procedure is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, more troublesome than being an emperor. Fortunately, Ding Yi has reduced a part of it.

Empress Ruan is going to wait in the Kun Ning Palace, and Ding Yi will use the prepared lines to confront the ministers for a while. The original lines are long and stinky, and Ding Yi has reduced them a lot.

After answering the same as acting, some officials will shout: "Canonize Ruan as the queen, and order you to wait for the ceremony!"

Then a female official and eunuch took the documents that had been prepared earlier, and went to the harem with the Queen Baoxi.

It took a while to come and go, and they had to wait until they came back to report, and the queen accepted the canonization.

Then some officials went to Chengtianmen to proclaim the decree, which was tantamount to announcing to the world that the Ruan family was the queen.

At the end of a set of procedures, Ruan Wenyan, wearing the Queen's dress, was led by a female official to the Hall of the Emperor, and all the ministers met the Queen together to express their congratulations.

When she came back from the ceremony, Ruan Wenyan was still a little shaky when she walked.

She was wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, and the colorful Zhai clothes on her body. Because of the cold weather, she also had Zhenxi's fur draped over her shoulders, making her look graceful, luxurious and bright.

The two of them didn't talk much along the way, they looked at each other from time to time, and Ding Yi could feel the affection in Ruan Wenyan's eyes.

After arriving at the Qianqing Gate, the distance between the people behind her had been widened. Ruan Wenyan's face flushed slightly, she glanced at Ding Yi lightly, and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, my concubine never thought about today."

She has always spoken carelessly and straightforwardly. It is estimated that these gentle words were brewed for a long time along the way before she uttered them.

Ding Yi was the same as before, gently grabbed her little hand, and looked into her eyes affectionately: "I still like to hear you call me Brother Ding."

"As I said before, now I am sitting in the world, and there are countless beauties in the palace, but in my heart, Ruan Wenyan will always be unique."

Ruan Wenyan raised her head and looked at Ding Yi with a moved expression. She recalled how Ding Yi held her hand and talked to her in the same way when he was on the street in Dengzhou.

This happened more than ten years ago, and my son is 14 years old.

She couldn't hold back anymore, her eyes trembled, and tears rolled down her face: "Brother Ding." She threw herself into Ding Yi's arms.

Two days later will be the Spring Festival, Ding Yi will give the officials a five-day holiday, and the capital will celebrate the Empress Ceremony together.

In the name of the queen, each of the officials in Beijing was given ten taels of silver. (ten silver coins)

The Beijing officials came up one after another to congratulate and thank the queen who is the mother of the world.

After the five-day holiday of the Spring Festival.

Ding Yi began to canonize concubines.

Canonize Zhu Yu as the imperial concubine (Changchun Palace), Shen Chuying as Xianfei (Xianfu Palace), and Qin Nan as Zhuang Concubine (Yikun Palace). All three have gold seals and gold-plated books.

Canonize Zeng Rou as Concubine Hui (Chuxiu Palace), with a jade seal and a gold-plated book.

Japan's Seka was not included in this canonization, and Ding Yi was also waiting for news from Japan.

But as an emperor, the ministers felt that Ding Yi must have too few concubines, and he also had few heirs. Ding Yi's heirs were all born in the next year or two in 1633, and there were no more children after that.

In the early court in late February, a minister suggested that Ding Yi choose a concubine, confirm the crown prince, and use An Guoji.

When everyone saw it, it turned out that it was Chen Youfu, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Chen Youfu and Minister of Finance Ruan Wenlong have been partners in Lushun for a long time, and they are inseparable. This time, of course, they are testing whether Ding Ye can be made the prince.

Uncharacteristically, Ding Yi said in a stern tone: "Since ancient times, the country's affairs have been corrupted, and the dynasty's collapse has always been caused by party disputes."

"Now that the new dynasty has just been established and the world is still undecided, are you going to start studying the former Ming?"

Chen Youfu was shocked and knelt down to plead guilty.

"The matter of setting up the crown prince, at a small level, is my family's business, at a high level, it is a major social matter that concerns the stability of the world and the people's well-being. When will it be the ministers' turn to make troubles?"

"Does the world have the final say on the society, or does the ministers have the final say?"

Ding Yi was furious, and all the officials knelt down on the ground and shouted: "The emperor calm down."

The first trial of the ministers ended in failure, and everyone understood that Ding Yi was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Ming Dynasty, some emperors wanted to change the prince, but they couldn't get the support of the officials, but Ding Yi had the final say in Dagan.

Then the discussion began, Wang Duo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites reported, and the Kingdom of Korea sent a special envoy to Beijing to congratulate Dagan on his unification of the world.

Ding Yi asked, who is the messenger.

Joseon Li Cao Jin Shangxian.

Jin Shangxian is a good friend of Lu Chao. He secretly supported Ding Yi to conquer North Korea and fight against the Manchu Qing. The Manchu Qing did not conquer North Korea. It was more difficult than in history, and one of the important sources of materials was missing.

This has to be changed to the Ming Dynasty or other dynasties, and Jin Shangxian will be announced in public immediately, and then Jin Shangxian will give the gift to the Ming Dynasty, and then the Emperor Ming will return the gift ten times to show the kindness of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, Jin Shangxian left satisfied, and the national prestige of Ming Dynasty was revealed.

More than half of the entire morning will be wasted on this.

Ding Yi responded lightly: "I know, I will call him in the afternoon."

That's all for this matter.

Wang Duo also reported that the envoy from Japan said that the Manchu and Qing soldiers were burning and killing wantonly in Japan, which was cruel and heartless. Please come forward to support.

Japan is willing to use gold, silver, grain and rice to support Dagan.

Ding Yidao, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War negotiated with the Japanese special envoy without even asking who the envoy was.

Another thing has passed.

The affairs of the court were discussed very quickly that day, and the discussion was completed in less than two hours. Afterwards, all ministries took turns to report. What is the court to do, how is the next one doing?
For example, the construction of bank branches, the construction of local water conservancy facilities and roads, the amount of farmland and so on.

When the various ministries were talking, there were historians recording beside them. In the past, historians only recorded important events about the emperor, but now they are also responsible for recording important events of the court.

These data will be used for comparison in the next meeting.

The Ministry of War finally spoke, talking about the training and arrangement of soldiers and horses in the world.

At the beginning, Ding Yi assigned the generals of all towns in the world to recruit soldiers for training in the local area, and asked to complete the number of regular soldiers according to the instructions of the imperial court.

After one or two years of recruitment and training, basically the whole country is in place, and now we are waiting for Yunnan to settle down.

"The Tang newspaper from Yunnan yesterday." Zhang Jinyan finally said: "The rebel Sha Dingzhou raised troops in early December last year, captured the former government of Yunnan, occupied Huicheng, and Mu Tianbo fled to Chuxiong."

Sha Dingzhou hijacked Wu Zhaoyuan, the former governor of the Ming Dynasty, and threatened him to write a letter to stop the rescue army.Sha Dingzhou also told the court that the Mu family was innocent and that the rebellion was quelled thanks to the Sha army, and asked the court to appoint him to replace Mu Tianbo in guarding Yunnan and Guizhou for generations.

Zhao Dashan, who was in command of the army in Guizhou, expressed reconsideration in the name of the court and temporarily stabilized Shadingzhou.

In January of the first year of Dagan Rende (1646), Shadingzhou, far away in Yunnan, did not know that the imperial court had changed Yuan Rende. In order to capture Mu Tianbo, he led troops to attack Chuxiong. Chuxiong City, guide Mu Tianbo to Yongchang.Sha Dingzhou chased Xiaguan and ordered his generals Li Rifang and Wang Shuo to capture Menghua and Dali respectively, and both cities were slaughtered.Yang Weizhi took advantage of the opportunity of the rebel soldiers to go west, repaired Chuxiong City, and sent a message to punish the rebels.Many toasts responded one after another.So Sha Dingzhou's army came to attack Chuxiong again.

In mid-January, Zhao Dashan sent troops from Pu'an Prefecture, Guizhou Province when Shadingzhou troops were dispatched to Chuxiong.
