Zhao Changqing's father devoted his whole life to practicing the Confucian concept of "benevolence", and it is understandable that he was called Renzong after his death.

The Taiping Dynasty experienced turbulent reforms in the early stage, humiliation by foreign powers in the mid-term, and too many wars in the later period. It cannot be called a ZTE. Historians also wrote cautiously when recording.

Try your best to describe Renzong as an emperor with good virtues.

There is really no way, I can't find much merit, so I can only focus on moral character.

As a result, Renzong's benevolence was infinitely magnified, so that when later historians talked about Emperor Renzong, they all said that he was a benevolent emperor for generations, which was in sharp contrast to those previous emperors who were always prone to killing and killing.

After Renzong was buried, the next day, Zhao Changqing dressed in dragon robes and prepared to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

First, the imperial edict was promulgated, which represented the fate of the emperor.

Of course, this edict was definitely not the edict of Emperor Renzong, but the abdication edict of Wei Ling Emperor Zhao Changyuan. Basically, it said that his moral conduct was unworthy and caused chaos in the world, but Zhao Changqing was of noble character and suitable to be the emperor.

At first, Zhao Changqing was a little surprised when he heard this edict. After asking about it carefully, he found out that it was Zhuge Liang who asked Zhao Changyuan to write it.

All right.

I have to say that Zhao Changqing was a little angry after hearing this edict.

Once this edict is announced to the world, will it affect his reputation as a fool?

Zhao Changqing's enthronement ceremony was very embarrassing. Only the Chu State sent ministers to congratulate him, and none of the foreign ministers from other countries came.

This means that no other country, except Chu, a strategic ally, recognizes his throne.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether they admit it or not.

All civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped outside the Waichengde Hall.

The palace musicians began to play music.

In short, this enthronement ceremony will be as grand as it needs to be.

When Zhao Changqing came to the Chengde Hall surrounded by the servants, someone presented the jade seal, the most important treasure of the country. After receiving the jade seal, Huang Cheng, the Minister of Rites, stood up and read out the imperial edict of enthronement.

After reading it, Zhao Changqing already started to want to scold her.

Huang Cheng bowed to Zhao Changqing and said loudly: "The ceremony has been completed, please take the throne as emperor."

Zhao Changqing was led by his chamberlain to the throne and sat on the dragon chair.

At every step, someone shouted, "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

After sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Changqing thought that the process was over, who knew there would be more 'scheduling.'

After all the ministers were arranged, they had to bow and bow three times and then three times. Among them, all the important points of palace music were played. In short, there were many rules and many great etiquettes.

By the time the last hundred officials were in place and the ministers paid their congratulations, it had already taken more than two hours.

Afterwards, all the ministers had to kneel three times and kowtow to the emperor under the guidance of the Tongzan Officer and the Minister of Rites. In this way, the entire enthronement ceremony was basically completed.

Zhao Changqing was also the first emperor of the Wei Dynasty without a queen in history.

After completing this entire process, Zhao Changqing was very tired. It took almost a whole day, and he was so tired.

From now on, Zhao Changqing will call himself me.

Now that he has become the emperor, the ministers who have made great contributions in the past, such as Conglong ministers, will naturally be rewarded.

Zhao Changqing wore a crown and sat on the dragon chair. When he saw the people kneeling in front of the stage, he immediately felt the weight of authority.

After the emperor ascends the throne, he must first appease the world, that is, grant amnesty to the whole world.

We also have to go to the ancestral temple to worship our ancestors.

By the time everything was done, it was already evening and the reward could only be left to tomorrow.

The next day, there will be a court meeting.

Zhao Changqing went to court for the first time.

It's rare that I'm not late.

He first issued several rewards, all of which were aimed at Zhuge Liang and the others.

Cao Shen was conferred the title of General Tiance and Taiwei, and was given the title of Jiuxi to lead the Imperial Forest Army.

Zhuge Liang was enthroned as the third rank of Tongzhongshu's family, Zhongshu Ling, granted the title of Duke of Wu, granted the iron scroll of exemption from death, and commanded all officials.

Zhao Yun was conferred the title of General of Hussars, and the Protector of the Country concurrently held the title of Minister of War and led the Imperial Guard.

Xiao Yuming was canonized as Duke You Guo, General Fu Guo, led the military guard, and was awarded nine tins.

Chen Qingzhi was canonized as Hu Guogong, a general in charge of the country, leading the cavalry and heroic guards, and was awarded nine tins.

Jian Yi was canonized as the Sword Saint of the Wei Dynasty, a general in front of the emperor, leading the swordsmen, protecting the safety of the palace, making the sword pavilion the national emperor, and bestowing the emperor's sword on him.

Since then, Zhao Changqing's Five Tiger Generals have taken shape.

Zhuge Liang and others were very grateful. They never expected that the reward they received would be so grand.

However, they never expected that Zhao Changqing was just not clear about the scale of this reward.

Otherwise, after knowing that the reward is so heavy, there is nothing you can do to reward someone like this.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were very dissatisfied. Isn't it because of the merit of following the dragon? You actually rewarded me like this?

This is too...

Amazing.

But after they heard about the Xuanwu Gate Incident, they all followed Zhao Changqing. Who would dare to openly oppose him!

Because Zhao Changqing couldn't understand the complicated names of the guards and armies, he made a major change, that is, the armed guards had 150,000 troops, commanding the safety of the outer city of the capital.

The Royal Forest Army is responsible for the security of the inner city and has 150,000 troops.

The Imperial Guard is responsible for patrolling and guarding the streets in the city, with a total of 150,000 troops.

The Cavalry Guards were also set up to command the most elite cavalry of the Wei State, with a strength of about 150,000.

A new army was created from Jianyi, named Euphorbiasmen, who wore swords to protect the safety of the palace.

Each of the above-mentioned armies has its own battalions, which are managed separately by the generals of each battalion.

A total of 700,000 troops were hastily arranged by Zhao Changqing.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang firmly disagreed with this arrangement. Throughout the history, the central government has never arranged the army in this way. As time goes by, Zhao Yun and the others will have enough troops to respect themselves.

But for Zhao Changqing, the more Zhuge Liang objects to something, the more he will do it.

His behavior also made many civil and military ministers secretly scold him for being fatuous.

But they really couldn't imagine that what Zhao Changqing needed was this effect.

However, what Zhao Changqing also didn't expect was that under Zhao Changqing's repeated insistence, Zhuge Liang actually agreed and became very much in agreement.

This happened before the court meeting and after he ascended the throne, just because Zhuge Liang heard Cao Shen say something, "Military advisor, do you really think that such a wise man as your Majesty would put such a huge army in our hands with peace of mind?"

This is just an expedient measure by Your Majesty. Secondly, it is more serious than relinquishing our military power.

The military advisor might as well take a look, do any of the five legions seem to be ready for an expedition? Each legion has its own battalion, and the generals of each battalion are all on good terms with His Majesty. From all these points of view, the military power we hold is just illusory.

That’s all.

Most of these 700,000 troops are soldiers who followed His Majesty all the way from Qingzhou, and the real military power is still under His Majesty's control."

Zhuge Liang was as smart as a demon. After carefully analyzing what Cao Shen said, he was shocked: "Each legion is basically in the capital. In fact, if we break down the legion into battalions, the name of the legion is just a false name that is always prepared for expeditions."

That’s all, the real lifeblood of military power is still firmly in the hands of His Majesty.”

The purpose of unifying the various military guards into a large army is to prepare for the expedition at all times. Since it is to prepare for the expedition, it is natural to set up various battalions. From this point of view, this so-called Imperial Guard, the Royal Forest Army and other large

The name "Legion" is just in name only.

Even if the commander-in-chief of the legion is Xiao Yuming, what can they do?

Since the legion is set up in the capital, the deployment of troops requires not only military symbols, but also an imperial edict.

Even if there is no need for an imperial edict, each battalion is managed separately, and each legion restrains each other...

hiss…

Zhuge Liang broke into a cold sweat when he thought of this.

However, all of this is just convenient for Zhao Changqing, and he has no worries at all.

He is thinking that setting up a large army can better redundant troops, right?

As for the special emphasis on setting up battalions, the reason is that Zhao Changqing thought that by focusing on the general situation, he could recruit more troops, and the situation of redundant troops would definitely be more difficult to deal with.
