Chapter 893 The Qing Dynasty is about to fall

The meeting ended successfully.

At the strong request of the Baiguan clan, Jia Liu held a smaller internal enthronement ceremony in the Big Bear Hall of Guangde Temple.

According to the Ministry of Rites, it is a rehearsal.

After the capital is restored, no matter how much His Majesty the Emperor opposes extravagance and waste, the imperial court will hold a grand and grand enthronement ceremony.

Not only civil and military officials will attend, but also diplomatic missions from various countries in Beijing.

The kind that costs at least five hundred thousand taels.

What is the concept of five hundred thousand taels?

In Jia Liu's impression, Guangxu's funeral seemed to have cost 450,000 taels, so it was really painful for him to spend 500,000 taels to become an emperor.

You must know that in the past, the fiscal revenue of Sichuan Province was only one million taels a year. When the emperor took office, he had to spend half a year's fiscal revenue of the province. No matter how much he thought about it, his eyelids jumped and he became very flustered.

I really don’t know why the fourth devil spends money so unscrupulously. He can spend tens of millions of taels just to celebrate my mother’s birthday!

Now it seems that there is really some evil in his heart and he is deliberately trying to please the Queen Mother.

Jia Liu really wanted to save money.

It's pointless to spend so much money. It's better to gather all the civil and military officials, relatives and friends together and set up a flowing banquet at the Meridian Gate.

No matter what, it will not cost more than 10,000 taels.

If this is important, if everyone contributes, he, the emperor, might still be able to make some money.

However, whether it was due to etiquette or political needs, he had to do such a thing, so he could only agree to it against his will.

But he still privately asked Lao Bo, who was also in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette, if he could invite some Western delegations to attend his coronation ceremony.

Then I asked my father-in-law to talk about internationalization, opening my eyes to the world, strengthening exchanges between countries, and the great collision of Eastern and Western civilizations...

It made Lao Bo's head hurt when he heard it. God knows what books my brother-in-law and son-in-law have read in these years, what fallacies they have listened to, and what demons and devils they have followed.

"England, France, America, Spain, Portugal, Belgium..."

Jia Liu carefully listed a large number of Western country names, and then said that he did not require everyone to come, but at least eight should come.

Why eight?

Lucky.

Korea, Ryukyu, Annan, Sulu and other traditional vassal states of the Qing Dynasty must not fall into the trap.

If anyone doesn't come, Jia Liu will not just be a reformer, but will revolutionize their lives.

Come on, it’s a salted fish reform, let’s do it together.

Lao Bo agreed, but the Western countries mentioned by the emperor's son-in-law had no diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty at all. I heard that they were thousands of miles apart and it would take at least a year or two for a visit, so there was no way to sell him to him.

What kind of "eight-nation mission" did the emperor's son-in-law organize?

But everything has been done, so we have to do it, right?

If you don't do it, that's called bullying!

He had no choice but to call his nephew Dax, who was the right minister of the Ministry of War, and asked him to use all means to get the eight-nation mission to his cousin-in-law.

Asiha's report was very good. Jia Liu counted it and received a total of 36 applause for the whole report.

Among them, Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi Province, never missed a beat, so much so that his palms turned red.

It's not that Bi Futai analyzed how beneficial it would be to the Northwest to deny Shunzhi's Four Dynasties, but that Guiziliu didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong and would stare at him every time there was applause, forcing him to agree against his will.

Fortunately, clapping your hands is better than biting your head.

Life is not heavy.

Undoubtedly, this report on the illegality of the legal system of the four dynasties since Shunzhi was unanimously recognized by the representatives attending the meeting of hundreds of officials and clans.

All should be supported.

Jia Liu didn't let anyone count the specific number.

After the meeting, this report was stamped with the seal of the Reform Emperor and issued to the whole country, officially announcing to the Qing subjects that the throne would be restored from the line of Shunzhi to the line of Emperor Dorgon of Yi.



The forty-second year of Qianlong was officially changed to the first year of the Reform, which was known to all provinces, prefectures, states, counties and generals' jurisdictions.

Two more edicts were issued.

One is an edict consecrating the emperor's eldest son Keqing as the crown prince and heir apparent;

One is the decree of canonizing the clan, General Song Chun of Jiangning, and Prince Heshuo Zheng.

Prince Zheng was the title of Jierhalang, the ancestor of Songchun, and was later changed to Prince Jian.

The former Prince of Jian, Feng Neheng, died heroically because he led the royal family in a crusade against the thief Qianlong and was killed. Since then, the title of Prince Jian has been vacant.

In order to unite the Aixinjueluo people, for the stability of the Qing Dynasty, and to get the full support of his old cousin, Jia Liu naturally wanted to return the hat king of his ancestors to him.

These two decrees did not cause much turmoil.

The emperor only had one son, so there was no competition for supremacy.

Song Chun was the flatterer who led the army and people of Liangjiang and three provinces to persuade them to join the army first. Not to mention his relationship with Guiziliu, he controlled the Qing Dynasty's wealthiest areas, so he should be rewarded with great achievements.

Since it is determined that the four dynasties since Shunzhi were unethical, corresponding countermeasures must be taken.

That is to say, to get to the bottom of things.

First of all, under the suggestion of Bo Qing'e, the prime minister who was also in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Jia Liu issued an edict to abolish all the emperor titles of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, and to immediately replace the temple titles of Shizu, Shengzu, and Shizong of Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Yongzheng.

Cancel.

The original intention was to overthrow all the four emperors, but the cabinet had different opinions. They believed that the four dynasties lasted for hundreds of years and had a complicated history. Even the thief Qianlong himself had a certain contribution to the development of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, denying them all would not be good for the country and would easily cause confusion among the people.

.

After all, no matter how great the Emperor Tianzong was, it was impossible for him to overthrow and rewrite the history of the past hundred years.

Therefore, the imperial title and temple title can be removed, but they should not be abolished and treated as common people, and they should be treated differently.

Shuan Zhu, the Minister of Internal Affairs who went to meet Prince Xiong with Minister Fan Wei, learned about the incident and said to Ding Qing, the director of the Internal Affairs Committee: "Three old guys have no vision at all. They have no idea what the young master is thinking. Are you going to

Be prepared, maybe one day the young master will ask you to arrest someone."

"ah?"

Manager Yang's words made Ding Qingren excited for a while, and then he was very confused about it, because in principle there was no problem with the proposals of the three elders in the cabinet.

After all, this century of history is real. Now this period is defined as "stealing the throne and causing the subjects to live in terror and hardship for a long time." How to explain today?

Emperor Shunzhi was the first emperor to enter the Pass, and Emperor Kangxi was the first emperor throughout the ages...

Failure to do so will definitely lead to chaos in the government and the public, which will be detrimental to recovery.

"Director Ding, don't you understand?"

Fan Wei looked around and lowered his voice to remind: "If the emperor doesn't mess up people's hearts, how will the Qing Dynasty fall?"

"Great, great, great...the Qing Dynasty is going to fall?"

Director Ding was not only confused this time, but also horrified. He had only been the governor of Dongchang for a month!

Seeing that Fanbutang and Manager Yang didn't seem to be teasing him, he became even more nervous.

After a while, he swallowed his throat and said with difficulty: "The Qing Dynasty is going to fall, what should we do?"

"You are so stupid. What does the survival of the Qing Dynasty have to do with you?"

Shuan Zhu chuckled.

"If the Qing Dynasty is not destroyed, how can Lord Gui be the founder of the country?"

Looking at Ding Qing, whose consciousness did not match his position, Fanbu Tang couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Then he and Manager Yang looked at each other affectionately, smiling knowingly, and both of them looked forward to a better tomorrow.
