Looking at the civil and military officials and various feudal lords who prostrated themselves on the ground below, Zhu Pangpang, sitting on the throne and using the emperor's power for the first time, felt a little nervous.

Wei Wei took a few deep breaths to suppress the turmoil in his heart, raised his fat hand slightly, and said in a calm voice:
"Everyone is flat!"

The people below kowtowed and kowtowed again.

"Thank you for my emperor's grace!"

When everyone got up and stood up one by one, the civil servants raised their heads slightly and looked at Zhu Pangpang, who was sitting on it wearing a crown suit, and felt happy in his heart.

From today onwards, the old man who kills people at every turn, ransacks his family and exterminates his family at every turn, can no longer reach out to take them.

Now the benevolent prince is in charge of the world. Although the old man is the supreme emperor, according to the rules, the emperor is still the biggest.

If the old man wants to kill someone, the emperor has the right to deny it.

Thinking of the prince's benevolence in the past, the civil servant felt relieved.

The military generals still don't care, it's still the same sentence, as long as there is a grandson, oh no, they should be called princes now.

As long as Zhu Zhangui, the prince, is around, the fat emperor on the seat probably won't intervene in various military operations.

After all, the ruler is long and the inch is short. Although the fat emperor has fought wars, his strategic vision is still slightly worse than Zhu Zhangui, let alone compared with the old man.

Coupled with what they learned about the relationship between Zhu Pangpang and his son, without those bullshit barriers, the Generals Group can be 100% sure that the fat emperor sitting on the seat will definitely use the force of the whole country, as well as foreign wars. The matter is handed over to the prince Zhu Zhangui.

"Cough cough!"

After asking everyone to stand up, Zhu Pangpang didn't know what to say for a while.

Although he has been in power for so many years, it is the first time that he can use his power as an emperor.

In fact, Zhu Zhangui had already rehearsed with him last night, but now that he was sitting on the throne, he was so nervous that he forgot.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of what to say, so Zhu Pangpang quickly winked at his son standing below, asking him to help remind him.

The old man sitting next to him didn't even bother to tell him anything, he put his hands in his sleeves cheerfully, and looked at the embarrassment of his fat son.

Didn't this fat bastard think that it was bad or bad for him to be emperor?Arguing and being angry with myself all day long.

Well now, the fat boy has become the emperor himself, and he seems to have forgotten something, hehe, weren't you an old man before?I want to see how you solve the problem in front of you.

Standing at the front of the crowd, Zhu Zhangui noticed his father's appearance, glanced left and right, and saw that everyone lowered their heads, quietly stretched out their hands, and made several gestures.

Seeing his son's gesture, Zhu Pangpang remembered it.

As a newly enthroned emperor, before he canonize his wife and son, he needs to talk about his ambition and philosophy of governing the country to civil and military officials and the people of the world. To put it bluntly, it is an inaugural speech.

In the past, when the old man came to the throne, he just talked about it in the court, and then the officials announced it to the world.

It's just that the old man at that time just kept denouncing Jianwen's crimes, and didn't say anything about his ideals at all. The words that were notified to the people all over the world were written by the officials themselves.

But now Zhu Pangpang can't do like his father, because there are many microphones in front of him and everywhere in the hall.

These microphones are connected to the rows of loudspeakers outside. Outside the imperial city, there are countless people attending the ceremony waiting. If you say something that shouldn't be said, it will make people laugh out loud.

He pondered for a while, recalling the words he had spoken to his son yesterday, Zhu Pangpang coughed lightly, and slowly began his inaugural speech.

Zhu Pangpang also knew that there were still many things to do today, and the time was very tight, so he didn't say much.

He briefly talked about his ambitions, and said that he would lead all the officials in the court to work hard to develop the Ming Dynasty and lead it to greater prosperity and strength.

In addition, Zhu Pangpang also announced two benefits.

As the new emperor, it is still necessary to give the common people and officials some benefits and buy people's hearts.

After all, if a civil couple gets married and treats relatives and friends to dinner, you are already an emperor. If such a big status doesn't give you any benefits, you will probably be gossiped.

The first of these two benefits is to increase the salaries of officials.

With the blood transfusion of many colonies in Daming, Daming gradually became rich.

Considering that the salaries given to officials by the imperial court were too low, the old man, Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhangui discussed to increase the officials' benefits a little bit, which was considered a sweet date.

After all, in the past few years, we have only caught corruption several times, and many officials have been frightened, and they dare not reach out to the people's flesh and blood.

Some Qingliu officials, like those censors from Yushitai, are poor and can’t even bear to eat a meal of meat. If it’s not for the imperial court to issue some vouchers from the chamber of commerce, these guys can’t afford to live through the year.

So the grandpa and grandson considered that it is time to increase the salaries of these officials, not for those corrupt officials, but for those who are really honest and honest censors to grow longer, otherwise the dignified court officials will starve to death , then the Ming Dynasty will become a joke.

Originally last year, the old man wanted to announce this policy, but considering that his fat son would be enthroned next year, he decided to make the officials suffer and give the fat son the opportunity to buy people's hearts.

Sure enough, after Zhu Pangpang brought up the salary increase, and announced that the 18th year of Yongle would also be included in it, the officials' eyes showed excitement, especially those Qingliu officials, their faces flushed with excitement.

After paying off the bill, I finally have money for the New Year, and I can also buy some meat to make dumplings, instead of letting the whole family eat chaff and vegetables with me.

After the officials shouted long live thanks three times, Zhu Pangpang announced another benefit to the common people.

And this benefit is to announce the release of Yao's service.

When the common people outside the city heard about this benefit, they trembled with excitement.

Corvée, the nightmare of countless ordinary people.

For thousands of years, I don’t know how many people went out to serve corvee and died on the construction site, never came back, and how many families were heartbroken and torn apart.

Every time the imperial court distributes corvee, those officials and petty officials who go to collect people, take advantage of their small rights and do a lot of evil.

Some officials even took money from the big landlord's family and forcibly allocated the quota of the big landlord to the common people.

Originally, those people only needed to go to one person, but as a result, all the young and strong families were taken away, resulting in the lack of labor force and the waste of farmland.

It is precisely because of the ugliness of the corvee system that the common people hate and hate this system.

In order to avoid corvee, some common people in the family broke their hands and feet when the imperial court sent people down to collect them. They used the reason of disability to avoid the imperial corvee.

Although the legs and feet were broken by doing so, at least he could save his life.

But now, the newly enthroned emperor announced the complete abolition of the corvee system. That is to say, from today onwards, they no longer have to worry about the apportionment of corvees by the court. The young and strong in the family risked their lives to work for the court for free.

Regarding this policy, the officials were also a little surprised. They secretly looked at Zhu Pangpang sitting on it in doubt, and their hearts were full of confusion and doubts.

For such a big matter, why didn't Zhu Pangpang discuss it with them, and just made a hasty decision like this, and it would be difficult if he wanted to go back on his word later.

As those in power, they are very clear that once some things are known to the common people, it will be extremely difficult to take them back.

Actually they don't know.

Originally, when Zhu Zhangui told his father about the benefits, Zhu Pangpang also hesitated.

But when Zhu Zhangui told the number of slaves in Penglai, Asan, and other colonies, Zhu Pangpang happily agreed.

Zhu Pangpang is a good emperor. The goal of life in his heart has always been to put the people first. This kind of welfare is so good for the people of the Han family. He would like to have more.

As for the life and death of those slaves?Well, it's none of his business.

He has already discussed with his son Zhu Zhangui that domestic government affairs will be handled by his father, and foreign wars and those colonies that have been taken over will be managed by his son.

After announcing the two benefits, and waiting for the officials and common people to show their kindness, the next highlight began, which was the canonization of Zhang's Zhu Zhangui and others.

For the stability of the imperial court, it is the best guarantee to appoint the crown prince in advance.

There is no doubt about the candidate for the crown prince. With Zhu Zhangui's influence, no one dares to grab his crown prince position.

Next, Zhu Pangpang's close personal eunuch took out the imperial decree and announced that after Zhang's long-awaited entry into the palace.

Zhang is worthy of being a woman who is in charge of the harem when she is a princess, her calm expression is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

After listening to Zhu Pangpang's imperial decree to be the empress, Mrs. Zhang received the decree to thank her very calmly, and then, accompanied by the maid, went to the next room to change into a phoenix robe, sat next to Zhu Pangpang, and accepted all civil and military officials. worship.

Next is Zhu Zhangui.

No one has any objection to Zhu Zhangui's position as the prince. Of course, those who have objections dare not raise it at this time.

Witnessed by civil and military officials and princes all over the world, Zhu Zhangui became the third prince of the Ming Dynasty. (The first is Zhu Biao, the second is Zhu Pangpang.)
Immediately after was Zhao Ling'er, who was named the Crown Princess and assisted Queen Zhang in managing the harem.

What everyone didn't expect was that Zhu Qirui, a little guy in the crowd, was kindly called out by Zhu Pangpang, and he was named the grandson of the emperor on the spot, confirming his status as the heir of the third generation.

Zhu Pangpang has done everything right, just to prevent his brothers from fighting each other from happening to his son and grandson.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zhanji and others were named different princes one after another, but what surprised everyone was that in the imperial decree, Zhu Pangpang didn't mention where his sons' fiefdoms were.

In fact, everyone didn't know that Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Pangpang and the old man had discussed the fief for a long time.

Zhu Zhangui felt that enfeoffing the feudal kings was an unstable factor, and it also affected local management. If it was not handled properly, it would harm the local people.

Therefore, Zhu Zhangui proposed that from the generation of their brothers, all the vassal kings have been raised in the capital. Except for the direct descendants, other descendants can participate in various positions in the court except the army as nobles.

Regarding Zhu Zhangui's proposal, the grandfather and grandson discussed for a long time, and finally Zhu Zhangui persuaded them to agree to his proposal.

After the entrustment was completed, Zhu Pangpang led the civil and military officials, the whole family, young and old, accompanied by the old man, to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors.

Various ceremonies were busy until noon, and the enthronement ceremony was considered complete. Then, under the leadership of Zhu Pangpang, everyone went to Yongding Gate in Beiping to participate in the largest military parade and celebration in history.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The emperor's guard of honor had just left the imperial city, and the people who had been waiting outside the imperial city all morning bowed down to the car and shouted long live.

Zhu Pangpang, sitting on the frame and holding hands with his wife, opened the curtain with a smile and waved to the people on both sides.

Mrs. Zhang also smiled all over her face, nodding and waving to the people around her.

The waving of the emperor and queen caused the people to cheer again.

The excited people followed the car and moved forward slowly, shouting cheers for the emperor's long live and the queen's empress.

"Seeing the joy of the people makes me exhausted and worth it."

Facing Zhu Pangpang, who kept waving his hands to both sides, and hearing the cheers of the common people, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"Bah, bah, what unlucky words to say on a happy day!"

Zhang Shi stared at her husband with her phoenix eyes, and habitually scolded her again.

Zhu Pangpang chuckled, held his wife's hand tightly, and continued to wave to the people on both sides.

Following the car driver, followed by the prince of honor, Zhu Zhangui, looked enviously at the frame of his father and mother, and couldn't help but look back at the car Zhao Linger was sitting behind.

Zhu Zhangui thought in his heart, when he ascended the throne in the future, would the common people cheer for him like he cheered for his father.

The cheers of the people are more comforting to those in power and the emperor than the flattery of officials.

With the welcome of the common people, the huge convoy arrived at Yongdingmen.

Zhu Pangpang got out of the car first, supported the old man who got off from the car in front, and boarded the Yongding Gate with all the civil and military officials.

Outside the city, it was even more lively.

All kinds of colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and performance teams spontaneously organized by the people or organized by the government, beat and performed hard on the stages.

"A sign of prosperity!"

Looking at the lively crowd below the city tower, the old man could not help but let out a sigh of emotion as he supported the female wall.

"All of this is due to you, Dad. Without your years of hard work, Daming would not have prospered to this point."

Zhu Pangpang, who was at the side, heard his father's emotion, and took advantage of the situation to send out a wave of flattery.

The old man laughed when he heard the words, pointed at Zhu Pangpang, and said to the surrounding officials and vassal kings: "This silly boy, now that he is the emperor, he can even flatter me. He used to choke on me every day. Almost pissed me off."

"Hahaha…"

There was a burst of echoing laughter from around, Zhu Pangpang also smiled and didn't care, and helped the old man to sit down.

"Okay, don't accompany me anymore, go, and accept the worship of the people of the world."

The old man sitting on the seat saw that the people below were already facing the tower, smiled and waved, and asked Zhu Pangpang to go to the dragon chair in the middle to accept the worship of all the people in the world.

"My son takes orders!"

Zhu Pangpang saluted and responded, then helped his wife who was smiling beside him, and led Zhu Zhangui who was following him, to the middle of the tower to accept the worship of all people in the world.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

Following Zhu Pangpang's movement, the Jiaofangsi band, which had been prepared a long time ago under the city tower, played the majestic imperial line.

The drum music passed through the microphones in front of the stage, spread through the loudspeakers tied everywhere, and rang in the ears of countless people outside the city tower.

In an instant, everyone stood silently, standing straight facing the tower, ready to welcome their emperor.

"The holy driver is here!"

Following Zhu Pangpang's close-fitting eunuch shouted, whether it was the musicians playing, the soldiers on duty, or the waiting people under the tower, they all fell to the ground facing the tower.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

Zhu Pangpang, who was standing beside the female wall of the city tower with his wife, returned the salute with a solemn expression.

"All people are safe and healthy!"

The people saluted the emperor and greeted them. As a new generation of emperors, they naturally had to respond to the people.

The well-being of all people is the best answer, and it is also the greatest wish of everyone from Zhu Pangpang to ordinary people.

After the salute was over, Lu Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was the host of the ceremony, stood next to the microphone and announced with a majestic expression: "The new emperor's celebration has officially begun, fire the salute!"

Following Lu Xin's order, the salute troops placed on the left side of Yongding Gate lit their cannons one by one and fired into the sky.

With the roar of the artillery, the Yongding City Gate slowly opened.

365 specially selected royal guards of honor walked out with standard steps, escorting a sun and moon flag trimmed with gold.

The flag-raising ceremony was proposed by Zhu Zhangui. The national flag can unite the hearts of all people in the world. Finally, after the old man's decision, the Sun and Moon Bright Flag was designated as the legal flag of Ming Dynasty.

The rumbling salute shook the sky and the earth, and 365 royal guards, carrying three-generation rifles with bayonets on their shoulders, walked in neat steps, guarding the Sun and Moon Flag, and stepped towards the flagpole in front of Yongding Gate.

The horizontal and vertical team, the majestic and beautiful military uniforms, the uniform steps, and the bayonets shining coldly in the sun left a deep shock on the officials on the tower, the various feudal lords and envoys from all over the world.

Ivan III looked at the uniform team with their hands up and down, and felt pantothenic in his heart.

The army of the Ryazan Kingdom did not know how long it was possible to achieve such a level.

The king of Joseon next to him squinted his eyes and considered that after the ceremony was over, he must ask the new emperor to send some soldiers to North Korea to help train his army.

Let's not talk about how much combat power can be improved, as long as the team can walk together and look good.

As for what to do if you become a showman and encounter enemies in the future?
The king of Joseon had never considered this point, after all he had a Da Ming father above him.

Isn't it natural that it is difficult to find Da Ming's father?

The neat royal guards walked to the flagpole, and the three soldiers guarding the national flag strode forward. The rest of the soldiers formed a neat tofu square under the stage, waiting quietly.

"All stand, play music and raise the flag!"

When the flag bearers were ready, Lu Xin stood by the microphone and shouted loudly for the start of flag raising.

The drummers who had been prepared a long time ago played the triumphant song of the prosperous age.

This piece of music was selected by the old man from thousands of pieces.

The early stage of this song is full of enthusiasm, and the latter part is serious and solemn.

There are many meanings in the song, and everyone will have different feelings when they hear it.

Soldiers who listened to it would hear the difficulties of starting a business in the Ming Dynasty, and the feelings of countless soldiers fighting bravely for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

And officials will hear from it that during the founding period of the Ming Dynasty, a civil servant worked tirelessly day and night to deal with various government affairs, fighting wits and courage with enemy officials.

And the common people will hear the pain of innocent people during the war, and the courage of countless people to join the army, fight for the family and race, and fight for eternal peace.

Everyone will have different feelings when listening to this piece of music, and it is precisely because of the uniqueness of this piece that the old man picked it up.

Accompanied by the solemn and solemn tune spread in all directions, the bright red flag of the sun and moon rose higher and higher under the slow pull of the flag bearer, and finally rose to the peak, waving in the wind.

"Da da da…"

As the sun and moon flag was hoisted, a sound of horseshoes came from the east side of the special passage for military parade.

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw a general wearing a general's armor, holding a big military flag in his hand, and galloped over quickly.

With the military flag fluttering and the cloak fluttering, the general's eyes were serious as he steered his galloping horse forward quickly.

This general was a master of equestrian skills. When he rushed to the city gate, he yanked the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed towards the sky.

"Whoa!"

As the horse's hooves fell to the ground, the general dismounted beautifully, held up the military flag and went downstairs to the city gate, knelt down on one knee and said loudly:
"Qizou Your Majesty, the Ming Defense Forces have completed their formation, and millions of soldiers welcome your review!"

"The parade begins!"

Zhu Pangpang nodded in agreement with a serious expression, and then, accompanied by Zhu Zhangui, came to the old man and helped the old man down the tower.

Under the city floor, there is a pair of horses pulling it, which is in the form of a chariot from the Spring and Autumn Period.

Helping the old man and Zhu Pangpang get on the chariot, after confirming their safety, Zhu Zhangui got on the horse behind and accompanied them to review the troops.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The sound of war drums sounded from the city tower, and under the protection of a group of royal guard cavalry, the chariot slowly drove out of Yongding City Gate.

The vanguard of the review was lined up less than 500 meters away from the gate tower of Yongding City.

A soldier in armor looked straight ahead with a serious expression. Even though there were relatives in the opposite crowd, they didn't show any smiles.

As the deafening war drums fell slowly, the passionate and surging military music sounded from the horns tied to various places.

All the soldiers knew in their hearts that the emperor is coming!
