Three days later, the prince succeeded to the throne and officially changed the Yuan Dynasty.
Changing the Yuan Dynasty means changing the reign name of the previous emperor. Zhaoxing means changing the reign name of the previous emperor. It has to be changed now.
In terms of the year name, Sangong, Sangu, and the bachelors from various pavilions came up with many ideas. The Ministry of Rites gathered them together and handed them over to Canglong Hall for selection.
The first selected era name was Yongchu, which was a relatively traditional and ancient era name and meant the beginning of a permanent era.
The prince didn't like this reign title: "Who can be the emperor forever? It's inappropriate!"
The second reign name chosen by Liang Jixiong was Jianwu. The prince went to the north to expand the territory, so the reign name Jianwu was well deserved.
The prince still didn't like it: "Mao Cha invades our border and deserves a severe beating. But if we want the country to be peaceful and the people to be at peace, it would be better to engage in less war."
The third selected year is called Manna, which means that the sufferings of the Zhaoxing Dynasty have ended, and Daxuan has a new wise king, like manna after a long drought.
The prince still didn't like it and didn't explain why.
In fact, there are reasons, but it is not convenient to explain clearly.
I became the emperor, as if it was based on the suffering brought by my father. Do I, the emperor, always have to stay in the shadow of my father?
inappropriate!
Zhiping, Kaiyuan, Jianlong, Hongguang...the Ministry of Rites presented more than a dozen year names in succession, but the prince was not satisfied.
Finally, Liang Jixiong gave some advice: "Just think of one yourself!"
"If you think about it, then think about it!" The prince thought for a long time, and finally came up with a reign name, Changle!
The reign name of Changle also appeared in the previous dynasty, that is, the Dayu Dynasty. However, according to historical records, he was an emperor who indulged in drinking and sex all day long and did not do his job properly. He was a relatively typical faint emperor.
"Your Majesty, is this era name really appropriate?" Liang Jixiong was quite dissatisfied with this.
The prince shook his head and said: "Second brother..."
"I am your ancestor!"
"Ancestor, although Emperor Changle was not considered diligent, Changle was the most prosperous period of the Dayu Dynasty. He supervised less and did more. He was Changle, and the people were also Changle. In fact, he was a good emperor. I want to be him
For an emperor like that, just let Daxuan Changle live!"
Liang Jixiong said in astonishment: "Is this written in the history books?"
"Yes!" The prince said with a serious face, "The history books are complicated, and there are many records in the history books that Dayu of Changle Dynasty was comparable to my Daxuan!"
Is there really such a history book?
Anyway, it doesn’t exist in official history.
These things were told by Li Shabai to the prince.
Liang Jixiong doubts the prince's statement, but what should he do?
Ask the Ministry of Rites to check it in the history books?
Why bother.
Why do you have to take advantage of the new king?
Forget it, since the prince is allowed to make his own choice, just follow his wishes and call him Changle.
A new reign name was given, but Emperor Zhaoxing still had to be given a title.
A living emperor has a reign title, and a dead emperor should have a temple title.
A faint emperor like him will not have a temple name, but at least he must have a posthumous title. The posthumous titles of a faint emperor generally cannot escape the words "ling", "secure", "li" and "min".
The prince thinks that "捍" is more appropriate. When the country is worried, it is called "捍". When the country is in trouble, it is called "捍". When disaster occurs, it is called "捍". When it makes the people sad, it is called "捍". When it causes the people to be wounded, it is called "捍".
When you are in trouble, you call it "mei"; when you are in danger, you call it "mei".
According to the prince's wishes, Emperor Zhaoxing's posthumous title should be Emperor Xuanmin.
As soon as the news spread, the officials were excited, thinking that the word "捍" was inappropriate. It meant that the country was suffering from worries and difficulties, as if Emperor Zhaoxing was born at the wrong time.
In fact, all the suffering in Daxuan was caused by this foolish king.
Liang Jixiong also felt that it was inappropriate, so after discussing with the Ministry of Rites, he changed his posthumous title to "Li".
Killing the innocent is called Li, being cruel and cruel is called Li, being ruthless and disrespectful is called Li, supporting evil and violating the right is called Li, and being long-tongued and causing trouble is called Li. This is simply a portrayal of Emperor Zhaoxing's life.
According to Liang Jixiong's wishes, he was demoted from emperor to king and called King Xuanli, which was very suitable.
But he underestimated the hatred of the ministers towards Emperor Zhaoxing. After the Ministry of Rites discussed with the ministers, the ministers were still dissatisfied. Finally, the bachelors of each bookstore discussed and jointly submitted a memorial to give Emperor Zhaoxing a posthumous title, Chou.
The prince was dumbfounded: "The posthumous title Chou does exist, but it is not fixed on the emperor."
Liang Jixiong sighed: "That's all, let's follow the wishes of the ministers on this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to end this grudge."
King Xuan Chou brought a successful end to Emperor Zhao Xing's life.
After the prince succeeded to the throne, he first rewarded the meritorious officials based on their merits.
Chu Xin made great contributions and was named the Protector of the Country.
After becoming a duke, Chu Xin could not lead troops for a long time. This was the official system of Daxuan. Border wars were left to Ji Qi. Only in emergencies could Chu Xin be ordered to lead troops in battle as a general of chariots and cavalry.
Ji Qi was awarded the title of General Zhenguo, and was promoted to the second rank.
The other generals who participated in the war were all rewarded. Qiao Shungang was appointed to be in charge of the Lantern Yamen Qianhu, Meng Shizhen was promoted to the Green Lantern Lang, and Li Pu'an, Ma Guangli, Chu He and others were promoted to the Green Lantern Lang.
Yu Shan was promoted to General Wuwei, and Bai Zihe was promoted to Captain of the Mounted Cavalry. Both of them were fifth-rank officials.
Because Wang Zhennan was proficient in the Tunu language, he stayed in the northern border and served as a sixth-grade Xiaoqiwei.
Looking at the heavy snow, Wang Zhennan sighed: "My eight wives have to endure loneliness..."
The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Sir, the matchmaker is here, and so is the girl from the Luo family."
"Bring it in!"
Wang Zhennan sighed again: "I'm afraid you'll be lonely, so I'll find you a sister."
During the First Battle of the Southern Expedition, Qingyi Pavilion had outstanding military exploits. Jiang Feili was promoted to the rank of commander of the Imperial City Division and was promoted to the fourth rank. Her subordinates Qi Shuiyun, Li Xuefei, Yuchilan, Lan Hongjin, Qiao Hongliu and others were all awarded awards.
Lin Tianzheng and Zuo Chuxian were granted the title of Zhengyi doctor, and were promoted to third-grade casual-level official positions. They were paid well but had no real power. Their disciples who participated in the war were also reused.
In addition to those with military exploits, upright and loyal ministers such as Yushi Wang Yanyang and Qiu Dongcai were also promoted.
In addition to civil and military ministers, some special personnel must also be rewarded.
Emperor Changle (Prince) wanted to make Liang Jixiong a prince, but Liang Jixiong refused because he did not want to break the rules of Canglong Palace.
Taibu's merits were so high that the prince wanted to confer him the title of Guanglu Doctor, but Taibu refused because he still wanted to keep distance from the court.
Zhong Shen also had merit, and the prince wanted to confer him the title of General Jinwu, but Zhong Shen also refused, saying that he had only done his job.
"A group, a group, Zhi Qiong, what is that called?"
"Salted fish!"
"A bunch of stinky salted fish, but they don't even think about turning around!" Emperor Changle was very annoyed. He offered Li Shabai the title of a philanthropic doctor, and it was doubtful that Li Shabai would refuse.
Li Shabai was not interested in an official career, so he naturally wanted to refuse, but He Fang reminded him: "Don't anger the emperor. If the emperor is away from home, how can the throne be stable? If the throne is unstable, it must be done everywhere."
If you take precautions, my life will not be easy."
To put it bluntly, Emperor Changle did not want these worldly experts to completely escape control.
Although Dr. Zishan was a second-rank official, it was only a false position, so Li Shabai agreed.
All the good ones have been rewarded, now it’s time to award some bad ones.
First came Xu Zhiqiong, who was still in charge of a thousand households in the yamen and was promoted to the fifth rank.
He was promoted from the fifth rank to the full fifth rank, just one rank. This incident caused an uproar.
Fortunately, the edict from the feudal lord was issued subsequently, which calmed everyone's anger.
Xu Zhiqiong was granted the title of Marquis of Yun because his seat was in Yunzhou.
A fief, also known as a fief, is simply a fiefdom given by the king to the nobles. Strictly speaking, the fiefdoms of the nobles are owned by the nobles, including the land, the people, the army, and taxes.
But this is an ancient rule. Starting from the Dayu Dynasty, the definition of food towns has changed. Nobles cannot form armies at will on their fiefdoms, and people are no longer the private property of nobles and have the right to move freely.
By the time of the Daqian Dynasty, fiefdoms were further weakened, the power of taxation was taken back, and the portion due to the nobles was allocated uniformly by local states and counties.
By the time of Daxuan, fiefdoms had been completely formalized. Most of the nobles had probably never been to their fiefs in their lives. The court only allocated a sum of income to the nobles based on the size of the fiefdom.
Marquis Yun has three thousand households in Yunzhou. Of course, according to the current system of Daxuan, it is impossible for all the tax revenue of these three thousand households to be given to Xu Zhiqiong. It is only allocated in proportion.
At that time, Ren Songde was disliked by Emperor Zhaoxing, so he could hardly get a penny from the food estate.
But if transferred normally, this income will be very generous!
Xu Zhiqiong made a rough calculation and found that the salary and additional expenses of the Deng Yamen were almost negligible. The income from the restaurant alone was more than 5,000 taels per year.
More than five thousand taels!
No need to go to work yet!
What more could you ask for!
Xu Zhiqiong ran back to Zhonglang Courtyard and quickly told Xia Hu the good news.
Xia Hu was picking up oranges in the yard. She packed a whole bag and prepared to go to the market.
"Madam, don't sell oranges anymore. I am a Marquis. In the next year, I will have... Madam, you are a baggage, you look very familiar!"
Xia Hu nodded and said: "It's the piece of cloth you brought back two days ago. The sack was torn that day and I couldn't find anything else. I used this cloth to wrap the oranges. Don't tell me, this thing is pretty. , took it to the market, spread it on the ground, and soon many people gathered, and the oranges were easy to sell."
The brocade of flowers, a rare treasure, was used as a baggage.
"The prodigal and evil woman! You should be beaten!" Xu Zhiqiong chased Xia Hu all over the yard.
Xia Hu shouted while running: "I only used a little, and there is still so much left. Just hit it twice with your hands. You are not allowed to copy..."
For Emperor Changle, the person least likely to be rewarded was He Fang.
He first issued an edict to restore He Fang's royal status and named her Princess Fanghua.
This is what He Fang deserves, and no one has any objections.
When the second edict was issued, it was directly sealed by the cabinet.
Pingzhang is an important military and state affairs official. Is this appointed casually?
This is equivalent to a prime minister. In the more than 700 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daxuan has only appointed two Pingzhangs to important military and state affairs. Both of them have made meritorious deeds in supporting people in danger!
This is not just a matter of identity and status, it is also related to the power of the emperor and the cabinet.
When the cabinet drafts an edict and the emperor and the Supervisor of Ceremonies approve it, if Pingzhang's military affairs are important, is it necessary to add another formality of He Fang's approval?
This was tantamount to dispersing imperial power again.
But this matter cannot be done, as it affects the lives of Xu Zhiqiong and the prince.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiqiong was quick-witted and He Fang was sensible. After some discussion, they decided to adjust Pingzhang's authority on important military and state matters.
Pingzhang no longer has the power of approval for important military and state affairs, but only the power of suggestion. She can make suggestions on the emperor's edicts, and it is up to the emperor to decide whether to adopt them or not.
In this way, Pingzhang's important military and national duties seemed to be just a false position, but He Fang had his own plans.
She did not want to share the emperor's power, she just wanted to make the right suggestions at the right time. This was the best choice to establish prestige and build a foundation.
The prince also appointed Liang Yuyao as the internal history order, whose status and authority were equivalent to those of Pingzhang for military and state affairs. This not only calmed the cabinet's dissatisfaction, but also gave Liang Yuyao the opportunity to participate in political affairs.
The former prince and today's Emperor Changle issued edicts to abolish many of Emperor Zhaoxing's bad policies and prohibitions. Since then, the era of Emperor Changle has officially begun.
On the street, people in the capital were talking about the notice.
One person shouted loudly: "Goulan has to perform a new drama tonight, called "Killing the Ugly King", where we will kill the foolish king a hundred times!"
Everyone clapped their hands and cheered. One person was wearing a bamboo hat and bowed his head in silence.
