No matter how many people outside pay attention to Lin Yutong's belly, this child, who still doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl, is growing without any awareness. By the time of the enthronement ceremony, the baby, who is already four months old, is almost pregnant.
This year's Chinese New Year is not at all festive, because everyone is busy with the enthronement ceremony.
Even for the sake of convenience, after Laba, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master moved into the palace in advance. All the original people in the palace were sent away, and only the old people from the dormitory came in.
On the day of the ceremony, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong both got up in the middle of the night. As soon as they put on the bright yellow dragon robes and phoenix robes, they instantly had a different feeling.
Lin Yutong stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. In fact, this phoenix robe was not afraid of Sanlang recognizing it at all. There was still a difference between the clothes in the TV series and the real clothes. And the difference was not small.
Looking more closely, this phoenix robe looks a bit like the clothes I had improved before.
Aunt Su said: "The person who ran the errand is also careful. The old slave looked at it and found that this phoenix robe is somewhat similar to the narrow-sleeved clothes that the master improved before."
Lin Yutong raised her sleeves and looked at them: "Save fabric! Every household should be frugal. This is not a small sum." In a few years, when the fabric is no longer used up, she will wear wide sleeves and wide sleeves again.
The clothes are more cost-effective.
Her clothing and jewelry are a weather vane.
"Master, the auspicious time is coming soon." Wu Chunlai reminded the fourth master in a low voice.
Fourth Master turned his head and looked at Lin Yutong: "Are you ready?"
"Okay!" Lin Yutong took a deep breath. Today is not the day for the canonization of the queen, but the fourth master still insists on appearing with him. Such a big event has never happened even when he was a queen in his previous life.
"Don't be afraid!" Fourth Master said, stretching out his hand.
Lin Yutong laughed and put his hand on Fourth Master's hand.
Outside the main hall, parked was a large, brand-new sedan chair, which had to be carried by forty-eight people. It was decorated with bright yellow things on the outside, a red blanket on the inside, and bright yellow cushions on the seats.
Fourth Master helped Lin Yutong get on the sedan chair, and the two of them sat comfortably while the sedan chair rose steadily.
"It's been a long time since I've been up there to see the scenery." Lin Yutong couldn't help but sigh.
Fourth Master smiled, "It would be better to sit on it and look down."
Lin Yutong nodded, who doesn't like to be in high places.
There is a guard post every five steps and a whistle every ten steps around. In the distance, the sound of drums can be heard.
Then, I saw hundreds of officials kneeling in dense numbers, all shouting long live, long live, long live.
Fourth Master whispered: "Today is the first year of Yongzheng's reign."
That's right, the year name was determined to be Yongzheng according to Saburo's suggestion.
There were so many era names in the Qing Dynasty, but who should be called Fourth Master? He calculated it over and over again, and Yongzheng was the right one.
Lin Yutong nodded and got off the sedan chair with Fourth Master.
At your feet is a road covered with red carpet, with ministers and officials kneeling on both sides. At the other end of the red carpet, up ninety-nine and eighty-one steps, is the main hall.
Lin Yutong took a step back slightly and let Fourth Master go first.
But the fourth master held Lin Yutong's hand: "Let's go together."
Lin Yutong froze for a moment.
Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong's hand, with encouragement in his eyes.
Lin Yutong smiled instantly. She took a deep breath, stood side by side with Fourth Master, and then walked forward and upward step by step.
The people kneeling below did not dare to raise their heads. People on both sides of the red carpet could still see the dragon boots and phoenix boots of the two people with their peripheral vision.
The road was not long, but Lin Yutong was more tired than ever.
Such solemnity made Lin Yutong flinch for a moment just now.
It was like a burden, pressing so heavily on her shoulders.
On the ninety-nine and eighty-one steps, there is a dragon chair, and a little further back, there is a phoenix chair.
Only when she actually sat on this hard, cold chair did she really feel relaxed and calm.
The ministers below shouted long live, but their hearts were in a state of turmoil. From ancient times to the present, no woman has ever sat at the top like this.
After the ceremony was over, many memorials were presented, all of which were aimed at impeaching Lin Yutong.
The fourth master took these memorials and said, "These old scholars, I don't plan to use them anymore. How important is the supervision department, what about them? The focus is never right." He threw the memorials aside into the brazier.
Lin Yutong didn't pay any attention to that statement. No one with real eyes would show up at this time. "But it's not appropriate to dismiss them from office. How can we relocate these people?"
The fourth master casually wrote a note and said: "Build a new Lixian Yuan and put all these people who have studied to death into it. They will give them salaries and their grades will not change. Their responsibilities... they can also write articles.
, you can also compile a book. Let them play by themselves. Don't get in the way."
Lin Yutong smiled, this job is really leisurely and decent. In their words, it is very aristocratic. They have everything but no rights. I feel like the policy researcher, "Okay! It's pretty good." This kind of place even
There is no fixed limit, so you can really put in as much as you have.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chun came to report: "Long live the Lord, several adults have arrived."
Lin Yutong stood up and said, "I'll go inside and lie down." I've been urinating a lot lately, and I really can't sit for a long time.
Fourth Master nodded, "I'm sleepy and go to bed."
After Lin Yutong took Nanny Su in, Fourth Master asked the people below Xuan to come in.
"Everyone, sit down and watch tea." Fourth Master called, and then he helped Mr. Lu and Mr. Fan up with his own hands.
Several people thanked him and sat down cautiously.
Today is the first time since the Fourth Master ascended the throne that he has called everyone so neatly.
I thought we were going to discuss the matter of canonization, but I didn't expect that the fourth master would just let out a big thunder.
"Establish a cabinet in Wenyuan Pavilion. I have decided on the number of people in the cabinet for the first time, and it is tentatively set at seven." As soon as the Fourth Master finished speaking, there was a sudden gasp.
Mr. Fan directly pulled out several beards.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were only two people in this cabinet, namely the first assistant and the second assistant. But now, the fourth master opened his mouth and changed the number of people in the cabinet to seven.
There are more people, which also means there are more people who share power.
The one with the ugliest face was Li Jishan. He originally went for the position of prime minister, but he didn't expect that seven people would come up all of a sudden.
The fourth master glanced at several people: "Of these seven people, there must be one chief official who takes the main responsibility. When it comes to major events, the seven people will discuss and decide and vote. In addition, a secretary will be set up to record what you said in each meeting.
.”
"When you come to a conclusion on how to deal with the matter, then you can hand over the document and I will review it. After that, I will consider how to deal with it."
This seems to decentralize power, but the power is not placed in the hands of individuals.
Several people looked at each other and said hello.
The fourth master glanced at a few people and said: "In addition, I plan to set up a military aircraft department. Similarly, the military aircraft department will be composed of seven people. The cabinet and the military aircraft are dependent on each other."
That means that military commanders are no longer under the management of civil servants, and all decisions are made by the emperor alone.
Several people looked at each other and felt more and more how powerful this was.
The fourth master didn't care what others thought: "I still have some ideas, which are not mature yet. I want to set up the Lixian Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan separately. The Lixian Yuan will be managed by the Ministry of Rites in the future, and the Supervisory Yuan will be independent between the cabinet and the military.
Externally, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the two."
Liu Shuquan thought to himself, there is one team for civil affairs and another for military affairs. There is absolutely no overlap between the two. In addition, in addition to the two teams, there is another group of people to supervise and impeach the two teams.
After coming out of the palace, several people looked at each other and turned their heads away. There was no communication. They all had to go home quickly to digest the news.
Before we have finished digesting it, Fourth Master’s imperial edict has come down.
Cabinet members: Lu Heng, Fan Dongzhe, Li Jishan, Liu Shuquan, Yin Duo.
Everyone knows that the other two vacant spots are reserved for those who have made meritorious deeds after unifying the South.
The only thing that surprised people was that Yin Duo entered the cabinet for the first time. Although he was hanging a tail, he was indeed a cabinet minister.
Yin Duo himself felt that his heartbeat was a little fast.
Fang Changqing, however, was left by the Fourth Master to serve as a royal servant.
These people haven't finished praising Fourth Master's beautiful move, but something even more beautiful is coming.
The personnel list of the military plane made their hearts beat out of their chests.
Li Fang, Tietou, Qin Yi, Hu Da, and He Mao are also five people, missing two places.
There is no problem with the qualifications of these people entering the military. After all, they have all worked hard in the military.
But if a general leaves the army, is he still a general?
Yes, they were given high positions, and a few people were in charge of all the important military and political affairs in the world, but being away from the troops meant that their influence on their respective troops was gradually reduced.
This is much smarter than "releasing military power over a glass of wine".
These brave generals were asked to hand over their general power happily one by one.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth master reorganized the troops again in the name of military training. Those who should be promoted were promoted, but those who should be stationed in Chang'an were transferred to Taiyuan. Those who were originally stationed in Taiyuan were transferred to Kaifeng. In this way
After the circle was replaced, the old troops of these generals were still there, but they were scattered, and no one could even think of it.
Although the title has not yet been conferred, in the current situation, no one has time to care about the title.
At least the fourth master's standards have been set for the placement of nobles. For example, Yin Duo is determined to be crowned king in the future, but there are no specific matters in his hands! He only has the voting rights of the cabinet.
For example, the Lin family, the absolute descendant, will be Duke Chengen no matter what in the future. But Lin Dalang is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, which is equivalent to the internal steward of the palace. Lin Erlang went to the Construction Department. Only a member of the Lin family named Lin Jiren was awarded
The high position of the Nine Admirals.
This means that those who may have a title in the future should not think about any real power.
Suddenly, everyone's enthusiasm for the title was not so high.
