Chapter 455 The new emperor ascends the throne, and the Ming Dynasty begins a new chapter!
After hearing Zhu Gaojie's merciless words, many officials in the palace were all dumbfounded with disbelief on their faces.
Zhu Gaojie's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting their heads and hearts, shocking everyone.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Are you dissatisfied with Yan Shenggong’s lineage?
Or should we take the opportunity to deal with the Kong family?
That is the descendant of the Wen Zong, the head of the world, a Confucian saint!
Your Majesty, when you do this, to put it bluntly, you simply don’t take the scholars in the world seriously...
Seemingly sensing what everyone was thinking, Zhu Gaojie sneered, then ignored the official who stood there silently, stood up and said loudly:
"I have always disliked many things in the past, but due to face, I have never been able to change them."
"Now that I am the emperor, many things will change."
"Everyone, you should open your eyes and see clearly that the world has changed!"
Zhu Gaojie looked slightly excited and his tone became passionate:
"I have eliminated the serious troubles in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Next, I will shift my focus to people's livelihood. How to make the people of the Ming Dynasty live better and be happier will be my most important thing in the next stage!"
"Anything that is conducive to improving the quality of life of the people of Ming Dynasty, and anything that is conducive to improving the living environment of the people of Ming Dynasty, is good! I will vigorously implement these two decrees!"
"I might as well make it clear to you today that I will definitely continue to run the liberal arts college, and will continue to expand its scale, open its doors wider, and recruit more students from poor families to study there."
"I must also strictly investigate the land. Anyone who tries to hide the land under his name, engage in various attachments, hide his family, or even blatantly annex the land will be severely attacked and punished by me!"
"In my place, there are no feelings or relationships. As long as you are not dedicated to the people and do things seriously, I will directly take you down! If you can't do something well, there will be a lot of people who are willing to work hard.
Work hard!"
Having said this, Zhu Gaojie scanned the crowd and found that some officials had turned pale and looked uneasy. He turned a blind eye and continued:
"No matter what wealthy clan or millennium-old Wenzong, they are of no use to me. They have no face at all!"
"What I want is the kind of person who considers problems from the perspective of the people and can do things with a down-to-earth attitude!"
"Anyone who only thinks about making money, honoring the ancestors, and being powerful is better to resign as soon as possible and go home to farm. Otherwise, when I get angry, I will have no choice but to drink cold water and eat cold food in prison.
It’s steamed!”
Finally, he stared at the many officials below and said meaningfully:
"Everyone, times have changed. You have to keep up with me. Otherwise, if you fall behind, I will not wait for you..."
The ambitions and ambitions in his heart are only vaguely known to a few close confidants around him.
Even Shen Qingyu, who was loyal to him and respected him immensely, did not think that the Ming Dynasty would be able to reach the farthest west, or even sweep across the entire sea, and become the overlord of the aristocratic family in Zhu Gaojie's mouth.
In the final analysis, it was the limitations of the times that restricted the vision of his civil servants and military generals.
Obviously the Mongols had invaded Europe and almost conquered a huge empire across Eurasia. Everyone knew that there was an extremely vast and boundless territory in the west. However, the Ming Dynasty who drove away the Mongols only stayed in the Central Plains.
Wandering around here, I never thought about taking the initiative to fight out, let alone conquer the ocean.
Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas were Zhu Di's obsession. However, apart from wasting the national power of the Ming Dynasty, the huge and advanced fleet could not achieve any effect at all. The small countries passing along the way were only engaged in trade, which wasted the fleet's power.
Combat strength.
Therefore, Zhu Gaojie had already made a decision in his heart. Since he ascended the throne and took charge of such a huge empire, he must develop well and let the people of the Ming Dynasty live a happy and happy life. At the same time, he took the initiative and strived to become the world overlord in the Age of Discovery.
Stand on top of the world!
Otherwise, wouldn't he have come to this world in vain? And the personality he has shown would have been wasted!
At this time, all the officials in the palace were shocked by Zhu Gaojie's words.
What is this? The new emperor’s political declaration?
Those thoughtful officials have already reacted, and the Ming Dynasty will be troubled from now on!
…
Seven days later, on an auspicious day determined by the Qintian Supervisor, Zhu Gaojie, dressed in gorgeous clothes and a crown, held the enthronement ceremony meticulously.
When offering sacrifices to heaven, Zhu Gaojie looked up and couldn't help but think of Zhu Yuanzhang's enthronement ceremony in history.
"I am the only king of China, since the end of the Song Dynasty..."
"I am a common citizen of Huaiyou..."
Lao Zhu's enthronement edict is actually very interesting.
Zhu Gaojie was following the procedure to worship heaven, and while receiving the gazes of the civil and military officials below, he silently complained in his heart:
"It is said that Lao Zhu started off with a bad start, but moved around on the way. In the future, he will be the king of a country. In fact, he has the rightness of the country. Throughout history, no one can surpass him."
"From ancient times to the present, since the Han Dynasty, this has been the last glory of the Han people in history. A Central Plains dynasty founded entirely by the Han people, which has lived upright and upright for three hundred years."
He raised the wine glass in his hand, raised it to the sky, scattered it on the ground, then filled another glass, and silently recited in his heart:
"Lao Zhu, and the old man, we are all a family. The Ming Dynasty has just been founded a few decades ago. It is in its prime time and it is the time when Fang Qiu is scolding. Since I inherit this cause and effect, I will work hard to lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity.
Prosper to the top of the world!"
"I have eliminated all the serious troubles in the east and north in advance. The Jurchens among the white mountains and black waters will no longer be able to escape and destroy the Ming Dynasty and take over the Central Plains."
"If you two have spirits under the ground and knowledge under the spring, you can protect the Ming Dynasty Zuo!"
"Let's see how I can lead the people of Ming Dynasty to live a better and happier life, and sweep away all the dissatisfied places in the world!"
Then he drank all the wine in his hand!
Vaguely, Zhu Gaojie seemed to hear someone's cheerful laughter. There seemed to be two pairs of eyes in the sky, looking at him with kind eyes.
He suddenly looked up and found that the sky was clear and cloudless. He couldn't help but smile to himself:
"I really think too much..."
With the successful completion of Zhu Gaojie's enthronement ceremony, he also took over the power of the Ming Empire and officially became the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di!
What, you mean Emperor Jianwen? Sorry, that short-lived guy who accomplished nothing but likes to mess around, Zhu Gaojie doesn't admit that he is the Ming Emperor...
