MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 346 The new emperor ascends the throne! Change the year name to Shaowen!

  Chapter 346 The new emperor ascends the throne! Change the year name to Shaowen!

  Wang Wenkui nodded.

  At this time, Liu Zhengyang, Wang Wenkui's staff, came in: "Ministry, Governor of Sichuan Wang Aoyong published in the "Sichuan News" not long ago, expressing his recognition of the prince's supervision of the country in Guangzhou, and congratulations, willing to listen to His Royal Highness the prince's control!"

"Yeah?!"

  Wang Wenkui was overjoyed, stood up, and looked at Zhao Shichun.

   Soon, Zhou Yuanlian, Zhao Shichun’s protégé, also came in: “Bachelor, Gao Zongjian, the governor of Huguang, published a newspaper in the Huguang Monthly News, expressing his recognition of the prince’s supervision of the country in Guangzhou, and congratulated him. He is willing to listen to His Royal Highness the prince’s control!”

   "Report! His Royal Highness King Min of Wugang published an article in the newspaper to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on supervising the country!"

   "Report! His Highness the Prince of Shu published an article in the newspaper to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on supervising the country!"

  …

  Suddenly, another staff member of the two men ran in.

  Wang Wenkui and Zhao Shichun were very happy after hearing this.

  Wang Wenkui said: "I didn't expect that the civil, military, and vassals in Huguang and Sichuan would no longer be willing to serve the king of Jie and Zhou! In this way, we are not alone in resisting the tyrant's chaotic government!"

   "Yes! Great things can be expected! The people of the world have been dissatisfied with the tyrant and treacherous officials for a long time, and now they will continue to pervert, which will naturally lead to this result!"

   Zhao Shichun also said excitedly.

  Wang Wenkui said: "Why don't you just choose a day to help him ascend the throne, change the name of the Yuan Dynasty, and reset the nine ministers of the cabinet?"

  Zhao Shichun nodded: "If you don't do one thing, you don't stop. Now that Sichuan and Huguang have followed suit, if you directly ascend the throne and change the name of Yuanjian, maybe other provinces will follow suit."

  Therefore, under the leadership of Wang Wenkui and Zhao Shichun, the false prince who was found by Zhao Shichun officially proclaimed himself emperor in March of the eleventh year of Tianqi, with the year name Shaowen, and set the next year as the first year of Shaowen.

  Wang Wenkui served as the first assistant with the titles of Zhongjidian University Bachelor, Young Master, Prince Taishi, and Official Minister.

  Zhao Shichun took the title of Bachelor of Wenhuadiandian, Shaofu and Prince Taifu, and official title of Minister of Rites, and served as the second assistant.

  In addition, the two Xinjiang officials who were willing to support them in doing so were also awarded the rank of cabinet bachelor.

  Among them, Sichuan governor Wang Aoyong, a bachelor of Dongge University, supervised the four provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.

  Governor of Huguang Gao Zongjian Jiadongge University Bachelor, supervised the three provinces of Huguang, Henan, and Shandong.

  In addition, Lian Haojing's Portuguese governor was given the official title of Minister of the Ministry of War.

  These bureaucratic landlords who only want to enslave the Han people in the name of Confucian Confucianism as before, are obviously very obsessed with such things as ranking seniority and adding officials to ranks.

Therefore, not long after they set up another imperial court, they couldn't wait to add many official titles that were difficult to obtain in the imperial court before, instead of thinking about how to prevent the imperial court from attacking and suppressing, or establishing what would be more beneficial Against the imperial system.

  In fact, these bureaucratic landlords who just want to collect land rent and squeeze their own people into slavery can't establish any system.

  Because they are essentially a group of conservative people who naturally reject system construction and only pay attention to the observance of etiquette.

  In their values, the ancestors are the best, the older the better, and it is best to restore the weekly system.

Of course, historical experience let them know that restoring the weekly system is indeed out of date and cannot be abused. It would be very bad, so they just think about it. Maintain a wealthy life and maintain the continuous oppression of the Han people.

  So, at the beginning, Wang Wenkui and Zhao Shichun were only obsessed with the matter of seniority and promotion of officials.

  The fact is indeed the case.

  Although the final result is that Wang Wenkui is the chief assistant.

   But in fact, it was because Wang Wenkui controlled the military power and forced Zhao Shichun to make concessions with the local battalion soldiers under his control.

In fact, Zhao Shichun still imagined that his small court would be the same as the original court of Ming Dynasty, and let someone from Hanlin Qingliu be the chief assistant, that is, he would be the chief assistant. he.

  It’s just that reality is reality, and the ideal model must be compromised with reality after all.

  So Zhao Shichun pretended to make generous concessions and took the position of chief assistant.

  Of course, this process still takes a lot of time.

   It is impossible for Zhao Shichun to choose to give in from the beginning, and Wang Wenkui will not tear himself apart from the beginning.

   It was just a process of internal strife to fight for the head and assistants, but it wasted a lot of time to step up and resist the imperial army's invasion and suppression.

  When the Ming court learned that several provinces in the south had set up separate courts, the puppet court in the south had just determined who was the chief assistant.

  The words are divided into two ends.

  When Zhang Gui knew that Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, and Sichuan had established separate courts, he was not surprised, and he didn't even take it seriously.

  Because Zhang Gui knows what bureaucratic landlords who do not conform to Confucian teachings are in the name of maintaining the status of Confucianism.

  Fearing that these people will affect the rule of the court, it is better to fear the peasant uprising army that has become a bandit.

  Because the former is old from the inside out, and the latter is likely to become the founder of a new dynasty.

But Emperor Tianqi was quite angry because of this betrayal, because the education he received told him that he was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the subjects of the world must be loyal to him. The subjects of the world live in a peaceful and prosperous age, instead of appearing in a situation where the country is ruined and the family is destroyed or displaced.

   What's more, Tianqi is a serious person in his heart.

  Of course, the emperor does not tolerate betrayal and deceit the most.

   That is, you can be bad, but you can't tease me.

  So, no matter how arrogant and domineering Zhang Gui is, killing civil servants and clans like slaughtering dogs, Tian Qi doesn't dislike him. He is even happy to see a foreign relative do many things that are not tolerated by the world.

   It's like Xiao He's bullying the people made Liu Bang more at ease.

  In this era when the real people are not the bottom-level common people, Zhang Gui’s behavior is actually similar to Xiao He’s, both of which are not in the direction of cultivating a good personality.

  So, after knowing this, Tianqi complained to Zhang Gui: "Even if I am Jie and Zhou, they can't play with me like this, and then deceive the people of the world! Fortunately, they said that they did this to maintain the ancestral system."

   "Your Majesty wants to say that they want to be a **** and set up a chastity memorial archway. They obviously want to oppose His Majesty and the imperial court, but they can't clearly oppose it. Instead, they forcibly arranged a false prince and forcibly said that His Majesty has passed away?"

   Zhang Gui also asked about this.

   "Exactly what it means!"

  Tianqi said and threw the memorial book on the imperial case, and then asked: "Do you think they can make things happen?"

   "Suddenly a governor plus two vassal kings and two governors established another imperial court. It seems to be a bit decent, but I feel that they are just the tails of rabbits—they can't grow!"

   Zhang Gui replied.

   "How do you see it?"

   Apocalypse asked.

Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty, their foundation is just the powerful bureaucrats who only want to oppress the people, while our foundation is the Han people all over the world. They can only pluck the wool of the Han people in the area they rule to maintain their interests. My Ming court is now They are working hard to gain the wool of foreign barbarians around the world to maintain their interests. If the people who have been bullied are compared to cattle and horses, we have more cattle and horses than them. Therefore, they have lost in terms of structure. They are only staring at Kyushu, and we are staring at It's the whole world!"

  Tian Qi said: "They don't know that there is a world besides Kyushu."

  Zhang Gui nodded when he heard Tianqi say this: "Your Majesty is right! To be precise, it was the imperial court that led the Han people all over the world to cause their rebellion. Does Your Majesty think this is more accurate?"
