However, who to appoint as queen is indeed a big problem.
If Xiuyun is made the queen, Tong Xuanyu will become the eldest son.
I believe that not long after, there will be a scandal involving the ministers and the emperor fighting for the country's foundation during the Wanli period of the pre-Ming Dynasty.
In other words, once Xiuyun is appointed as the queen, there will be courtiers who are not afraid of beheading and will rush to seize the merit of supporting the crown prince.
In addition, if Xiuyun is made the queen, Cao Chun will become the concubine of the royal family, and Little Iron Hammer will change from a legitimate son to a concubine.
Damn, this is not an ordinary headache.
Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor was actually the beginning of trouble for Yuzhu.
After Yuzhu saluted, Li Si'er deliberately made it clear: "It doesn't matter to others, Cikang almost threw me into the well. She must kneel at my feet and beg for mercy."
Yuzhu quickly explained: "My aunt has left the palace and traveled around the world."
"What?" Li Si'er was stunned for a long time, and his originally tight waist suddenly softened.
This is like a cockfight. It has been brewing for many days, but when the fight begins, you find that you have no opponent.
"Humph, she will return to Beijing one day, right? Don't let me know." Li Si'er himself was unsure, but he still said harsh words.
Yuzhu thought to himself, now that my aunt is gone, I will not miss you anymore.
After having dinner with Li Si'er and saying a lot of personal words, Yuzhu took his leave.
Arriving in front of the Chuihua Gate, Yuzhu suddenly stopped, stared at the accompanying Nanny Liu, and said coldly: "You have been serving the Queen for many years. If anyone makes trouble in front of the Queen, you must tell me in time.
Do you understand?"
Nanny Liu was horrified, and she quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if anyone dares to stir up trouble, I will definitely report it to you."
"Well, your son and grandson are both talented people, and I will support them well." Yuzhu put down these words, raised his legs and left.
Nanny Liu was scared to death. What did the emperor mean by this, to promote her son and grandson?
It's obvious that if you don't obey me, I will kill your whole family.
Back in the Qianqing Palace, the imperial desk was already filled with memorials sent from the Military Aircraft Department.
Yuzhu sat in the old emperor's old seat and began to review the memorial.
It was late at night. Yan Lin, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, took the opportunity of serving tea and whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to rest!"
Yuzhu just finished approving the last memorial and asked casually: "What time is it?"
Yan Lin quickly reported: "It's already four o'clock in the afternoon."
Yuzhu put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and ordered: "Bring the boxes, lock them one by one, and send them to the Military Aircraft Department."
The duty room of the Military Aircraft Department is located inside Longzong Gate.
"Yes." Yan Lin bowed and agreed crisply.
After washing up, Yuzhu walked slowly into the old emperor's original palace.
In fact, the old emperor's palace was very small, no more than twelve square meters at best.
Moreover, the bed the old emperor slept on was also very small, less than a quarter of the size of Yuzhu's bed.
However, the palace at this moment is the most powerful place in the world.
Early the next morning, Yuzhu sat in the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall.
Yan Lin quickly walked to the steps in front of the Qianqing Palace, held his head high and shouted loudly: "Call the first one!"
The little eunuch in front of the palace gate also shouted: "Call the first one."
The four military and aircraft ministers who had been waiting outside the gate of Qianqing Palace for a long time were shocked when they heard the words, and headed by Zhou Quan, they entered one after another.
"Holy greetings, Holy Ann!"
"That's all."
Yuzhu's ultimate goal must be to abolish the kneeling ceremony.
However, there must be a transition.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have discussed it and asked the Holy Mother to be the empress dowager." Zhou Quan, on behalf of the military ministers, expressed his position in front of Yuzhu.
"Well, let's take a look at the decree." Yuzhu knew in his heart that it was necessary to make Li Si'er the empress dowager, and there was no room for choice.
Even if this dynasty does not preach and govern the world with filial piety, Li Si'er must still be the empress dowager.
Then, Zhou Quan proposed to establish Qingtai as the Supreme Emperor.
Because Yuzhu had two wives, although Tong Qingtai was not Yuzhu's biological father, he was still his legitimate heir.
The heir is the father, there is nothing to say.
However, Qingtai's main wife is not Li Si'er, so embarrassment needs to be avoided.
Therefore, Zhou Quan once again proposed to build a new palace as a residence for the Supreme Emperor to live in his old age.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has many good places in its hands. For example, after Prince Gong Chang Ning died, his palace remained empty because he had no heirs.
Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Let's rebuild it based on the former Prince Gong's Mansion."
"Yes." The military ministers agreed immediately.
The affairs of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are very simple to deal with. All you need to do is issue an edict.
What comes next is a tough battle.
"I have discussed this, and I would like to ask your Majesty to establish a queen as soon as possible to consolidate the foundation of the country." Ma Qi jumped out on his own initiative.
Because Yuzhu has not confirmed the chief military minister, it is not an exaggeration for Ma Qi to speak out.
"Ma Qi, what do you think?" Yuzhu asked Ma Qi calmly.
Ma Qi said loudly without hesitation: "I think the Fucha family can be the queen."
Oh, good fellow, when Ma Qi said this, Jiang Sheng was not happy. He immediately retorted: "I thought that the Cao family should be established as the queen."
Zhang Tingyu didn't say anything, and Zhou Quan didn't say anything either. The two of them were obviously still unsure of Yu Zhu's thoughts.
A thousand words are worse than silence. Who doesn’t understand?
Yuzhu has actually been thinking about it for a long time. Who to make as queen is just the first step.
What really matters is who to make the crown prince!
As long as a queen is established, there will be an endless struggle to support the crown prince. Moreover, the party struggle will become more and more intense, and there will be no way to get down to business!
What's more important is that both Xiao Xuanyu and Xiao Tiezhui are still young.
Once you choose the wrong crown prince and want to abolish him, you will be in trouble.
It is impossible for Yuzhu to kill his son. In the future, after the new king comes to the throne, will he kill him?
After establishing the crown prince so early, if Yuzhu lives to be eighty years old, he will be the crown prince for more than forty years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to quell the controversy, the matter of establishing a queen cannot be delayed for a long time.
Therefore, Yuzhu said loudly: "Whether it is the Fucha family or the Cao family, they are all born in the banner. It is not suitable for them to be queens, so they should be made imperial concubines."
Zhang Tingyu carefully thought about it, and found out that the two royal concubines were both deputy concubines, which would not affect Tong Xuanyu and Tong Changsheng's status as legitimate sons, nor would they be forced to establish the crown prince early. It can be said that killing four birds with one stone!
"I think it's very appropriate." Zhang Tingyu was about to voice his support, but Zhou Quan beat him to it.
"Your Majesty..." Ma Qi struggled and wanted to persuade Yuzhu to change his mind.
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu waved his hand and said sternly: "Isn't the lesson learned by the nine sons in the previous dynasty from seizing the legitimate son profound?"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Qi did not dare to speak anymore.
Because Ma Qi's biggest stain is that he secretly encouraged the ministers to support Lao Ba as the crown prince.
Jiang Sheng rolled his eyes and immediately realized that as long as he dragged on, he might be able to make a pure Han woman his queen.
After all, the two most favored women around Yuzhu are both noble girls from Jiangnan!
As for the fact that there has never been a rule for two imperial concubines to stand side by side before, it is actually not important at all.
Rules are all set by people. As long as the emperor has that intention, there will be great Confucians who will help debate the scriptures.
Zhang Cong, the first assistant in the Jiajing period of the former Ming Dynasty, rose to the top of the imperial court by arguing for the emperor.
After solving the problem of not establishing a rearguard, the next thing will not be a big problem.
As the earliest woman in Yuzhu, Lin Yan'er was registered as a virtuous concubine.
What surprised the military ministers was that Qingwen, who was born as a girl, was actually registered as a noble concubine.
However, everyone had no contact with the emperor's daughter in the backyard, so they all followed Yuzhu's wishes no matter how she was canonized.
The emperor's woman, no matter what the emperor said, the ministers had no objection.
Therefore, the matter of conferring a concubine was drafted according to the list drawn up by Yuzhu himself.
The next thing to discuss is what Yuzhu attaches most importance to.
Meritorious officials in the new army must be rewarded.
Yuzhu was not Grand Master Dong, so he could not have wronged his close relatives.
The rewards for the generals of the new army were based on military merit first, then Conglong's qualifications, and then loyalty.
As a result, after a whole day of deliberation, it was determined that all the existing new army commanders had military merits and were all qualified to be granted the title of marquis.
However, Niutai, the governor of Jinwei, Luwu, the leader of the first town, and Ma Qingfang, the leader of the second town, all contributed to the destruction of the country, so they were granted the title of first-class marquis and promised to be hereditary.
The remaining town leaders also had military exploits, but they were unable to destroy the country, so they could only be granted the title of third-class marquis together.
In the title system of the Chinese Empire, there were no kings and dukes, only marquises, counts and viscounts.
Even Yuzhu's biological sons cannot be granted the title of marquis without military merit.
This is Yuzhu’s experience in conferring titles after absorbing profound lessons from past dynasties.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, as time went by, the princes became more and more skilled in the hands of women in the palace. The serious lack of education in setbacks was one of the most important factors that caused one generation to be inferior to the other.
In the inheritance of imperial power, big problems will arise if there are no heirs or few heirs.
Today, except for the United Kingdom, which is a constitutional monarchy, all European countries are also monarchies.
It would be easy to mess up if you try to create a republic that transcends historical conditions.
Originally, Zhang Tingyu thought that Yuzhu's rewards for the new army would be based on the closeness of the relationship.
Unexpectedly, the Jade Pillars were awarded impartially, basically in order according to the size of their military achievements.
The New Army is the foundation of Yuzhu's rule.
It can be seen from this that the new dynasty will not be a short-lived dynasty!
In all short-lived dynasties, rewards and punishments are unclear, resulting in villains taking over!
None of the four military ministers present had any military merit, so Yuzhu was not given a title. Instead, each of them was given 10,000 taels of silver and a new house.
However, the new house he was given was actually far away in Wuchang, the southern capital.
The military ministers also all knew that when Yuzhu inspected Huguang, he personally inspected the terrain, and with a wave of his hand, he decisively designated several counties in Jingzhou as restricted areas for the royal garden.
To be honest, only by delineating the restricted area of the royal gardens can we prevent ordinary people from moving into the flood discharge area to the greatest extent.
Artificial construction projects cannot completely withstand the wrath of nature. Therefore, no matter where the capital is located, a flood discharge area is a necessary precaution.
