The monarch's power is divinely granted, so the emperor must sacrifice to the heavens and the earth.

The ritual of sacrificing to the sky and the ritual of sacrificing to the ground is extremely grand, and it is also very important, according to the custom, the day of the winter solstice is the time of the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, the ritual of sacrificing to the ground is carried out on the day of the summer solstice, the ritual of sacrificing the sky is held in the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs of the capital, and the ritual of sacrificing the ground is held in the altar of the earth in the northern suburbs, and any emperor does not dare to underestimate this ceremony.

The power comes from the gods of heaven, so the emperor can rule the world, can decide the life and death of mortals, and can concentrate all the power in one, which is also the basis for the emperor to have power, and it is the basis for the royal family to pass on the power from family to family.

It is precisely because of this situation that Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others attach great importance to the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky and the ceremony of sacrificing to the earth.

Only the birth of a new dynasty and the ascension of the new emperor to the throne can not follow the limitations of the winter solstice and summer solstice, because the newly born dynasty has the nature of going against the sky, at this time, it is necessary to beg for the blessing of God, beg for the protection of the earth, and maintain the stability of the new dynasty.

Although Su Tiancheng didn't attach any importance to the ceremony of sacrificing the sky and the earth, he couldn't refuse the arrangements of all the ministers of civil and military affairs, but Su Tiancheng also had his own methods, the selection of the sacrifices required for the ceremony of sacrificing the sky and the sacrificing ceremony was very careful, and even needed to be determined by the emperor himself, all of which Su Tiancheng did not participate in, and let Zhu Xianxuan and others be busy. He was concerned about the establishment of banks and the issuance of paper money, which was the foundation of ensuring the prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty.

It's a pity that these truths have little effect on Zhu Xianxuan and others, and even Zhou Yanru, the former chief assistant of the Daimyo Cabinet who served as the secretary of the ministry, is very persistent, and the main preparations for the ceremonies of sacrificing to the heavens and the earth. It's all run by the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Yanru, who has just taken office, of course wants to be able to show his skills.

The appointment of Zhou Yanru by the Great Jin Dynasty as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites can be said to have stabilized many of the original officials of the Ming Dynasty in the shortest possible time, so that these panicked officials were completely relieved, and they knew very well that they would not suffer from liquidation. In addition, Su Tiancheng's attitude towards Jinyiwei and Dongchang also reassured many ministers of civil and military affairs.

After Su Tiancheng came to the capital, he clearly announced that Dongchang and Jinyi Guard would be abolished, and the palace would set up a special internal guard to be responsible for the security of the palace. There is no other function, as for the eunuchs. The Great Jin Dynasty will not allow any institution to recruit eunuchs, and the eunuchs left over from the Ming Dynasty are difficult to engage in other work because of their physical disabilities, so they are supported by the Imperial Court in a unified manner, within the palace. A small number of eunuchs were left behind, and eunuchs were absolutely not allowed to interfere in politics, otherwise there would be no forgiveness for killing, and the matters concerning the prohibition of eunuchs in the imperial palace and all government yamen were written into the legal provisions. In the future, if a family castrates their own children, it is a crime and will be severely punished.

The introduction of this law greatly shocked all the civil and military ministers, if there is no back rules, the eunuchs will still exist, some people will send their sons into the palace to become the new eunuchs, but the emperor used the law to stipulate that if there are people who violate this article, let their children be castrated into eunuchs, the light ones will be confiscated from the family property, and the heavy ones will be beheaded to show the public, after such a law is introduced, who else dares to be a eunuch.

The emperor's decision means the complete disappearance of the eunuchs, and it means that the eunuchs who have lasted for thousands of years will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

The civil and military ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty are basically adapted, and the emperor requires the system to do things, which is not an exception for the emperor, for example, the punishment of criminals must not be arbitrary, even if it is the emperor, can not kill anyone at will, there are special institutions to interrogate, in accordance with the law to pronounce the sentence, at the same time, in the law, the term of exile is removed, replaced by the provision of a certain period of time in prison, that is, the criminal who does not constitute a capital crime, according to the provisions of the law, He had to be held in the prison for a number of days before he could finally be released.

The emperor is also ready to minimize corporal punishment, and is ready to only keep the same as beating the board, and the rest will be abolished, especially in terms of the death penalty, the criminal department has begun to revise, what car cracking, Ling Chi and other tortures, all are ready to be abolished, it is estimated that two are retained, one is beheading the public, and the other is suicide by hanging a beam.

In short, the emperor has only been in the capital for about two months, and it has already made the capital extremely lively, and these things are being discussed everywhere, and those who are in favor account for the vast majority, and the restaurants and teahouses are full of people who talk about these topics.

What makes all the scholars even more excited is that the imperial court is preparing to reopen the imperial examination in the autumn and recruit talents for the imperial court, according to the gossip from some people who are more connected, the imperial examination this time, not only the scholars from all over the Great Jin Dynasty can participate, even the scholars in Nanyang, North Korea and even the Western Regions can also participate in the imperial examination of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the imperial court is only used for talents, which may mean that among the candidates who will participate in the imperial examination in the future, there are blonde and blue-eyed barbarians.

The original civil and military officials of the Ming court, after the ministry and the military department, most of the generals were eliminated, that is, they went home to be the common people, the attitude of the court in this regard is very resolute, there is nothing to enjoy the honor, as for the Wenchen, after careful study, all those who stayed were sent to Nanjing for training, of course, this school dedicated to training will soon be moved to the capital, and in the future, it will be a scholar in the imperial examination, and the same will enter this school, After special training, they can enter the imperial court as an official.

As for the reform of the army, the action is even greater, the military household system has been completely abolished, the army is supported by the imperial court's silver, and all the sergeants who enter the army are professional sergeants, in fact, this is the implementation of the recruitment system, the number of sergeants owned by the Jin Dynasty will not be very large, but the sergeants are elite soldiers, with one as ten or even one as a hundred.

Local public security is mainly the responsibility of the inspection department, the army is not allowed to meddle in local affairs, local officials do not concurrently hold official positions in the army, and the army, as the power directly controlled by the imperial court, is completely separated.

In short, there are many changes, all of which reflect the difference of the Great Jin Dynasty.

As time passed, the queen mother and the concubine mother were about to come to the capital.

This is the topic that the people in the capital talk about the most, among the concubines, there are three very special identities, Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo and Chen Yuanyuan, these three people used to be in Qinhuaihe, standard Qinglou women, but I don't know what kind of luck Lu Dao cultivated in her previous life, became the emperor's woman, and was canonized as a concubine Niangniang, which also directly led to the Qinglou women in Qinhuaihe began to rise in value, and their sisters became concubines.

Therefore, the news that the queen and the concubine are going to come to the capital has aroused great attention, and some people pay special attention to this matter every day, thinking about the lively situation in the city.

The ceremony of sacrificing to the sky and the ceremony of sacrificing the earth, the queen mother and the prince must participate, this is the rule, plus Zhu Xianxuan's planning ceremony, he will not forget these, so the time determined by the ceremony is all set on the day of the summer solstice.

On March 25 of the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the team of the queen mother and the concubine finally arrived in the capital.

I don't know what the news leaked out of the road, in fact, it can't be kept secret, I don't know how many people in the road care about this matter, there are people inquiring every day, and some people are specifically verifying the news.

Early in the morning, the empty alleys of the capital are all crowded into the streets, and the people are very clear that the queen and the concubine must walk according to the prescribed route when they enter the capital, which is also the rule, so the main street on both sides is full of people who are ready to see the excitement.

No one knew that Su Tiancheng had already gone to the city gate to greet Zhu Xianxin and the others, and those who followed him to the outside of the capital to greet him included officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court.

This is an exceptional move, but no minister raised objections, and the emperor did so, showing his affection for the queen and the concubine, which is the best sign of the country's stability and prosperity.

The guard of honor composed of 5,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers escorted the queen mother, the noble concubine and many little princes and princesses into the capital, and the security measures along the road reached the highest level, which is the emperor's family, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion know that the emperor and the queen are very affectionate, and the happiness of the family is very important, so everyone is careful along the way, even if there is no danger in Zhilu Road, it is also to concentrate the greatest energy to guard.

Su Tiancheng, who was dressed in a dragon robe, stood in the middle of the official road, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who were walking in front saw the emperor from a distance, and immediately dismounted.

Soon, Zhu Xianxin came over quickly with many women and children, they had been separated from Su Tiancheng for a long time, and since Su Tiancheng left Nanjing, he was not able to return to Nanjing during the Chinese New Year.

Zhu Xianxin has no regrets in her heart, some are proud, she entered the palace in the capital, she finally became the real queen mother, became the mother of the country, and also had to participate in the heaven sacrifice ceremony and the earth sacrifice ceremony with the emperor.

Zhu Xianxin took the lead in saluting Su Tiancheng, and Su Mingjie, who was already eleven years old, took many younger brothers and sisters to kowtow to his father.

Su Tiancheng took a few steps forward and helped Zhu Xianxin up, and also helped up Chunping and Wang Furong and others who were kneeling beside Zhu Xianxin.

In his heart, Su Tiancheng himself felt strange, he actually adapted to it so quickly, he used to be the most unaccustomed to kneeling, but now many people want to kneel for themselves, and they don't seem to feel anything wrong.

It is precisely because of this that Su Tiancheng constantly reminds himself that the system is the most important thing, there is no perfect person in the world, and anyone will make mistakes, and only by using the system to restrain can it be possible to maintain long-term peace and stability.
