Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Zhang Shun paid homage to the Heaven and Earth clan, so he returned to the Qianqing Palace, where he changed into the gorgeous crown and sat on the dragon chair.

Zhang Shenyan and hundreds of officials kowtowed three times and bowed nine times below, shouting "long live the emperor" three times. At this point, the identity of the emperor and his ministers was completely determined.

Zhang Shunsui issued an edict to change the country's name to Dayu, the reign name Tongtian, Li Sanniang as the queen, Hong Niangzi as the imperial concubine, and Ma Yingniang, Li Xiang, Gao Guiying and Wang Qiying as the imperial concubines.

The rest of the girls were concubines and concubines at different levels, so there is no detailed list.

It turned out that at the beginning, the ministers discussed the names of the country, including Yu, Chen, Xiong, and Xiong. Zhang Shun chose for a long time and finally chose the character Yu.

For one thing, Yu is Zou Yu, a white tiger with black characters, a tail longer than the body, a benevolent beast that eats the flesh of one's own death.

Second, the Yu Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were the beginning of the Yu Nai Dynasty.

As the old saying goes: if you thrive by this, you will perish by it. He knew that from now on, the dynasty would probably end completely, and this would be the last national title.

Thirdly, the Yu family is the country name of Emperor Shun. Whenever he compares himself with Emperor Shun, he should choose a similar country name.

As for the year name, there are even more diverse ones. Some are planning to be Yongchang, some are planning to be Shunzhi, and some are planning to inherit Qian. For a time, there are many people discussing it.

Although the former was named Yongchang, no one who used this reign name in history could achieve long-term peace and stability.

The middle one conflicts with Zhang Shun's name, so it is discarded directly.

The latter one, Chengqian, has nothing wrong with it except that it looks like a personal name.

Originally, Zhang Shun had already chosen this one. Unexpectedly, one day when he was reciting the "Book of Changes", he happened to see this sentence: "The great Qianyuan Dynasty, the beginning of all things, is the unification of the sky. The clouds move and the rain pours, and the materials are flowing. The Ming Dynasty From time to time, six people are formed at the same time, and they ride on six dragons to control the sky." His eyes lit up.

If this sentence has "Qianyuan" as the subject, then it is natural for it to be "always" by the Ming Dynasty.

But if "tongtian" is used as the subject, it can also be understood as "the Ming Dynasty has always been", which is not unreasonable.

Moreover, compared to the clichéd reign name of Cheng Qian, Tongtian is obviously much more domineering.

With a sudden thought, Zhang Shun decided to use Tongtian as his reign name with a stroke of his pen.

Now that the harem has been sealed, Zhang Shun also issued an order to canonize meritorious officials and those who fought to the death.

The imperial edict conferred the title of Zhu Changxun, the former Hongguang Emperor, as the Great Ming Dynasty King, and the former Chongzhen Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang as the Xiao Ming Dynasty King.

Since Zhu Cixiang, the king of the Xiaoming Dynasty, had "disappeared" since the rebel army entered Beijing, Zhang Shun ordered a search for him so that he could be ordered as soon as possible.

Li Zicheng was granted the title of Prince Ning, Geng Zhongming was appointed Prince of Huaishun, Ye Tinggui was appointed Prince of Zhenshuo, Zhang Weishi was appointed Prince of Zhendai, Daishan was appointed Prince of Pingdong, and Bomu Boguoer, the leader of the Sauron tribe, was named Sauron Khan. There are six thousand households; Horqin's left wing Manzhu Xili is the prince, Wu Keshan and Hong Guo'er are the county kings; Horqin's right wing Badali is the county king. If the small and small Ming kings are added, there are a total of twelve kings.

Zhang Shenyan was granted the title of Assistant Duke to show his contribution in governance.

Chen Changzhen was granted the title of General of the Expedition to the West and Duke of Jin Zhen; Xiao Qinhu was granted the title of General of the Expedition to the South and Duke of Jin Zhen; Lu Xiang was promoted to General of the Expedition to the North and Duke of Jin Zhen; Zhang Sanbai was granted the title of General of the East Expedition and Jin Zhendong. male.

The imperial edict conferred the title of Zu Dashou as Duke of Wei, Datong Commander-in-Chief Wang Shiren as Duke of Zhenshuo, Commander-in-Chief of Xuanfu Li Guoliang as Duke of Zhen, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang Guozhu as Duke of Guiyi. The above are the nine founding Dukes.

Afterwards, the Song Dynasty presented Ce's merits and was granted the title of Marquis of Wu, ranking first among the princes.

Lu Weiqi was granted the title of Bihou for his meritorious service, ranking second among the princes.

Hong Chengchou used his ability to divide his divisions and was granted the title of Zhihou, ranking third among the princes.

Cao Wenzhao awarded him the title of Weihou for his role in guarding the place and killing Azige, ranking him fourth among the princes.

Li Dingguo (Zhang Rujing) defeated Shang Kexi, killed Kong Youde, and was granted the title of Zhonghou, ranking fifth among the princes.

Zhang Fengyi was awarded the title of Fenghou for his decisive battle and surprise attack, ranking sixth among the princes.

Huang Degong took advantage of Liaoyang and was granted the title of Marquis Gang, ranking seventh among the princes.

Fatty Zhang was awarded the title of Liehou for his success in ascending the state, ranking eighth among the princes.

Jiang Xiang, for his contribution to killing Lama Jinzhou, was granted the title of Yihou and ranked ninth among the princes.

Li Guo was awarded the title of Marquis Yi due to his bloody battle at Black Rock Ridge, ranking tenth among the princes.

Cao Bianjiao defeated Kaifeng and was granted the title of Zhuanghou, ranking eleventh among the princes.

Liu Cheng was granted the title of Suhou for his role in killing Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, and ranked twelfth among the princes.

Li Xin was awarded the title of Pinghou for his contribution to the conquest and was ranked the thirteenth among the princes.

Wukong was awarded the title of Meihou for his defense skills, ranking fourteenth among the princes.

Wang Jinyi was granted the title of Marquis of An for his role in rescuing and guarding the emperor, and was ranked fifteenth among the princes.

The above are the fifteenth princes of the founding of the country.

Others Bai Guangen, He Renlong, Zhang Damou, Li Mou, Geng Jimao, Wang Qingzhi, etc. were also granted the title of marquis, but they had no names and were not as valuable as the fifteen people above.

Others Chen Jindou was granted the title of Cheng Yibo, Liu Yinggui was granted the title of Zhongyi Bo, and Zhao Lizi was granted the title of Wugong Bo, ranking among the top three uncles. The rest, Sun Chuanting, Ding Qirui, Wang Qiaonian, Wu Aheng, etc. were also granted the title of uncle.

A total of 12 kings, 9 dukes, 27 marquises, and 53 earls were created. There are countless other guards and commanders and thousands of households.

In addition to many civil servants and generals, Zhang Shun also rewarded those who raised troops from Mengjin, regardless of official position, with five hundred taels of silver each; those who followed him to capture Luoyang, each received one hundred taels of silver; those who followed him in the battle of Xi'an, each received thirty taels of silver ; Those who follow him to participate in the battle of deer will receive ten taels of silver each.

He also calculated his previous achievements and each received different rewards. Calculated in total, it cost more than 2.7 million taels of silver, one million dan of grain, and more than 100,000 bolts of cloth.

Just to claim the title of emperor, the little money and food he had saved up with great difficulty was almost all gone. Zhang Shun felt like crying without tears for a while.

Of course, in fact, he also knew that even if he did not become emperor, he would not be able to miss any of the money and food he should be rewarded with.

This time, I just took advantage of the opportunity to become emperor and rewarded them all.

But since then, the financial problem of not being able to make ends meet has surfaced again.

Fortunately, the summer taxes have been collected, and more than two million taels of silver and three and a half million shi of grain and rice have been received.

However, if we extrapolate this, we still cannot make ends meet.

Today is a happy day for him to ascend the throne. Of course, Zhang Shun cannot "spoil the fun" by discussing his financial issues with his ministers.

He had no choice but to keep the matter in his heart, and happily "lived with the people" surrounded by his ministers.

From Yin time in the morning, lanterns and colorful lights are everywhere, and gongs and drums are noisy. It was not until the end of the year that the coronation ceremony, which was celebrated by the whole country, was barely concluded.

Zhang Shun said goodbye to all the ministers, and then dragged his tired body back to the Yangxin Hall.

It was dark in the Yangxin Hall, with no lights and no sound. It was an extremely quiet scene.

"Where are the people?" Zhang Shun was stunned, then turned to Gao Qiqian and asked, "Where have they gone?"

"Your Majesty, now you are the master of the Forbidden City, and the ladies have also moved into their own palaces!" Gao Qiqian couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Oh, look at my head!" Zhang Shun laughed dumbly when he heard this. Then he remembered that the girls had complained that this place was too crowded and they might have moved out early in the morning.

"Let's go to Kunning Palace!" Zhang Shun thought for a while, and finally felt that he had to give face to the queen Li Sanniang. It was just the first night after she ascended the throne, so it was not good to go to other concubines.

"Okay, let's go to Kunning Palace!" Gao Qiqi shouted, and then he rushed over with Yu Chu.

"No need!" Although Zhang Shun was very tired, he was still not used to this mode of transportation, so he waved his hand and refused.

They walked like this for another two quarters of an hour before arriving at Kunning Palace.

Who would have thought that when I arrived, there was still no one to greet me.

Zhang Shun was puzzled and couldn't help but push the door in. He saw that the Kunning Palace was dark and still silent.

Could it be that Li Sanniang didn't move here?

Unexpectedly, just when Zhang Shun was in shock and doubt, he suddenly heard a cry, and suddenly the Kunning Palace was filled with light.

The ladies, Erhong Niangzi, Ma Yingniang, Li Xiang, Wang Qiying and Gao Guiying, all dressed in costumes, came out in a crowd.

Drinks and dinner have been prepared in the palace, and the banquet is about to begin.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Shun asked in surprise.

"Today is your majesty's happy day. We sisters have discussed hosting a family banquet for you to celebrate!" The red lady couldn't help but nodded and smiled.

"Ah? Where did you get the money?" Zhang Shun asked strangely while being pulled by the girls to sit down.

"Now that we are people with status, we naturally have a salary!" said the red lady, the imperial concubine, with a smile.

"According to the old rules of the Ming Dynasty, the queen's annual salary is one thousand taels, the imperial concubine's annual salary is 800 taels, the imperial concubine's annual salary is 600 taels, the concubine's three hundred taels, the noble's annual salary is one hundred taels, always at fifty, and promised to be thirty."

"Other satins, gauze, silk threads, cotton and dressing silver have their own regulations, and the daily pork, sheep, chicken, duck, rice noodles and seasonings are also customized..."

Before the red lady finished speaking, Zhang Shun felt his eyes darken, and almost wanted to take away all their titles, and then demoted them all to the lowest level of agreement.

Good guys, it turns out you were waiting for me here!
