Chapter 1192: Claiming the Emperor (4)

Although Su Tiancheng repeatedly simplified the ceremony of being called the emperor, because this time the emperor was carried out under very special circumstances, the war was far from over, and the Jiangning battalion was still shouldering a major combat mission, and there were three emperors in the Ming Dynasty, namely Emperor Chongzhen in the capital, Emperor Taiji of Houjin in Liaodong, and Su Tiancheng who ascended the throne in Nanjing. Therefore, he just wanted to be simple, and Zhu Xianxuan and others also wanted to make the enthronement ceremony as grand as possible under simple procedures.

Who is the orthodox emperor, in the eyes of the common people and the gentry and wealthy households, they must think that it is Emperor Chongzhen, the emperor Taiji in Liaodong, as a Han person, will never accept it, after all, it belongs to a different race, as for Su Tiancheng, the common people in the south and the north, the understanding is very complicated, this is beyond Su Tiancheng's expectations, that is to say, his accession to the throne as the emperor, not everyone will oppose it, and there will be no large-scale suicide of the gentry and rich families to serve the Ming court and Emperor Chongzhen.

The people's understanding is very simple, most of them are also directly affected by real life, in Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian and other places under the rule of Su Tiancheng, the people's lives are still good, which directly leads to the change of the people's understanding, Huguang, Jiangxi and Guangxi and other places that have belonged to Su Tiancheng, including Nanzhili, are also changing rapidly, these changes, the people are in the eyes.

The rule of this era is actually the rule of the elite, the scholars with knowledge and culture control the court and control the power, as for the views of these elite scholars, to a large extent, they are also affected by public opinion, in the case of Su Tiancheng's fame, it is difficult for the elite to control their own understanding, and basically recognize Su Tiancheng as the emperor, and the understanding of the elite is not ordinary. They generally felt that Su Tiancheng was completely capable of unifying the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty and creating a powerful empire.

There is a ritual to be crowned emperor, that is, to accept congratulations from all directions, including the vassal states to which they belong, as well as representatives of many parties, and so on. This shows the legitimacy and majesty of the emperor, considering that Zhu Youzhen is still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Su Tian has become embarrassed to reduce his own accession to the throne, and is ready to cancel this procedure, after all, the vassal state to which the Ming Dynasty belongs, under the current situation, it is unlikely to come to worship, and the war of the Ming Dynasty over the years, the place that can be controlled is limited. The country's strength has also been greatly weakened, and there are not many feudal states that belong to it.

However, Zhu Xianxuan and others still insisted on carrying out this procedure, and as early as after deciding the time of the enthronement ceremony, they sent letters to the vassal states to which the Ming belonged, including Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Siam (Thailand), Java (Indonesia), the Philippines, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Malacca (Malaysia) and other places, asking these places to send envoys to congratulate, including Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other European countries, also found ways to send letters.

It's finally the first day of October.

Three days in a row. Su Tiancheng was exhausted by the toss, and Zhu Xianxuan and others arranged some eunuchs to stay in the palace. is specially responsible for teaching the etiquette of Su Tiancheng and Zhu Xianxin and others, after all, it is the emperor who ascends the throne, and the actions must be completely in place, and there can be no mistakes in the details. Su Tiancheng can't object, he can only study according to the requirements.

This is also not an easy task for Su Tiancheng, who has always been a little casual.

Su Tiancheng wished to ascend the throne as soon as possible. After all, there is still a lot to be done.

Su Tiancheng, who had not slept all night, finally came to Fengtian Palace.

In the sound of the band's ceremonial music, Zhu Xianxuan led the hundred officials to sing praises, and it was in this noisy sound that Su Tiancheng was surrounded by everyone in front of the throne of Fengtian Palace. Dressed in the emperor's clothes, he is finally about to ascend the emperor's throne.

It's a pity that the ceremony has just begun, and Su Tiancheng, who thought that as long as he was on the throne, everything could be over, completely misunderstood, and what started immediately was the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, which must be carried out.

Under the leadership of the hundred officials, Su Tiancheng walked out of the Fengtian Temple, walked towards the Chengtian Gate, and had to walk outside the noon gate, where preparations had already been made.

However, the special situation is that Su Tiancheng is not inheriting any throne, but creating the world independently.

From the beginning of the morning to the morning of the morning to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials in the Huagai Palace, to the end of the worship ceremony, when I returned to the Fengtian Hall again, it was already the afternoon of the Shen time.

Entering the Fengtian Hall again, Su Tiancheng did not expect that the envoys who came to congratulate him would gather outside the Fengtian Palace.

After Su Tiancheng ascended the throne, the hundred officials bowed again, and then the envoys of the vassal kingdom came to kneel, and when each envoy came to kneel, Zhu Xianxuan had to introduce where he came from, what Su Tiancheng did not expect was that the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal all sent envoys to congratulate on behalf of their kings, as for the vassal states to which the Ming Dynasty belonged, except for Japan, no one was sent for the time being, including North Korea.

What does this situation portend, it is needless to say, that is to say, these vassal states all recognized Su Tiancheng as the emperor, as for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they also recognized it, and they took such a move to regard the battle between Su Tiancheng and Zhu Youzhen as an internal struggle in the Ming Dynasty, which directly denied that Su Tiancheng was the usurper emperor.

Of course, the most important thing is Su Tiancheng's influence, as well as the courage of the Jiangning battalion, with strength, people will worship and send envoys to congratulate.

After the worship ceremony, the next step is to clarify the name and year of the country.

The establishment of the country name, after some controversy, Su Tiancheng later also felt that the name of the German Dynasty is still a little unreasonable, first, the tone is too big, people feel that there is a taste of boasting, and secondly, after people simplify in the future, it will be troublesome, and the country name for hundreds of years will be completely changed.

Zhu Xianxuan and others later consulted the classics, and they also felt that Su Tiancheng was low-key, and when clarifying the country name, he was reluctant to highlight the individual, but the establishment of a new dynasty must have the shadow of the emperor, otherwise how to record it in history, the era is already in accordance with the AD era, and the country name must find a way.

Zhu Xianxuan and others thought that Su Tiancheng's home was in Shanxi, and Shanxi was called Jin, so this could be used as a country name, that is, the Jin Dynasty, but there was a Jin Dynasty in history, but that was many years ago, and it was also called the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty at that time, and there was no conflict with the Great Jin Dynasty.

The reason why Su Tiancheng agreed to the country name as Jin was mainly because it felt pleasing to the ear and had no other meaning.

Su Tiancheng has long had an opinion on this aspect, the matter of the chronology, insist on using the AD year, do not crown it with other years, this kind of changing chronology is not easy to record, and it does not have much significance, but it is a pity that Su Tiancheng's insistence did not get any results, Zhu Xianxuan and others did not agree with the statement of the AD era at all, Su Tiancheng also faintly thought that the origin of the AD era seems to be derived from the birth date of Jesus in the West, which is a popular set in the West, and today's East still represents the advanced, using the AD year, Isn't that degrading itself?

In the end, Su Tiancheng agreed, and adopted the Great Jin Dynasty as the era, and Su Tiancheng ascended the throne in 1643 AD, that is, the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

A.D. 1643 is the day of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty and the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

No one would have thought that when the Great Jin Dynasty was powerful, everyone in the world was studying, what would establish such a country name for Lu at the beginning, and why would it be dated by the Great Jin, but that was all a later story.

The most important ceremony is the canonization of hundreds of officials.

This is a symbol that Su Tiancheng and his subordinates have really begun to exercise power.

Among the 100 officials who were canonized, the focus was on the chief officials of the six departments of the three provinces and the governors of various places.

The edict was read out by Su Tiancheng himself.

Zhu Xianxuan served as Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Ling, was awarded the title of Zhongji Temple University Scholar, Cabinet First Assistant, Yang Sichang was appointed Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu Order, Feudal Jidian University Scholar, Cabinet Second Assistant, Fan Jingwen was appointed as the Imperial Envoy of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was awarded the title of Wenhuadian University Scholar, Cabinet Auxiliary Minister, Zhang Pu was appointed as the Servant of the Sect of the Province, was awarded the title of Wuyingdian University Scholar, Cabinet Auxiliary Minister, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, was awarded the title of Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, Cabinet Auxiliary Minister, Qu Qingze was appointed as the Secretary of the Criminal Department, and was awarded the title of Dongge University Scholar and Cabinet Auxiliary Minister.

Lu Shanji served as the secretary of the ministry, Lu Xiangsheng served as the secretary of the military department, and concurrently served as the governor of the metropolitan governor's office, Xu Eryi served as the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Su Tianhao served as the secretary of the household department.

Song Yihe served as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Juesi served as the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

Su Jun served as the head of Dali Temple.

Xu Jili served as the governor of Yingtianfu, Deng Hui served as the governor of Shandong, Lanqiaozheng served as the governor of Zhejiang, Gu Xingsong served as the governor of Fujian, Liu Yunqing served as the governor of Huguang, Wu Weiye served as the governor of Guangxi, Su Ertong served as the governor of Sichuan, and the original Nanzhili, except for the boundaries under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu, the rest of the places were listed separately, and Jiangsu Province was established, and Sun Tai served as the governor.

As for the place where Su Tiancheng has not yet been led, it is not involved for the time being, and there is no appointment.

In addition, there are some vacancies, and they will be appointed until there are suitable candidates in the future, especially the deputy positions of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, which are also very crucial, and none of them have been appointed this time, including the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works, etc.

The last ceremony is the canonization of the queen.

Zhu Xianxin was officially canonized as the queen.

Chunping, Wang Furong, Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo, and Chen Yuanyuan were canonized as imperial concubines.

This is probably the biggest news of the Great Jin Dynasty, because except for Zhu Xianxin, the identity of the rest of the imperial concubines is really not good, Chunping is Zhu Xianxin's maid, it is barely reasonable, Wang Furong used to be a people's daughter, and there will not be too much discussion, Liu Ruyi, Gu Hengbo and Chen Yuanyuan are all Qinglou women in Qinhuaihe, no one would have thought that the Qinglou woman in Qinhuaihe would actually become the imperial concubine.

Su Tiancheng proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing City, and the three Qinglou women of Qinhuai River became imperial concubines, which can't help but make people think about it, and this has also become one of the biggest lace news of the Great Jin Dynasty, almost on a par with the future prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty.
