In the third month of the revival of the capital, Zhu Cilang, the supreme Emperor Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty, died in Handan on the way to the capital.

Zhu Cilang suddenly died, and the world suddenly fell into chaos. When the little emperor was there, it might be nothing, but when he died, many old people loyal to the Ming Dynasty jumped out.

They did not dare to attack Gu Zhenhua directly, but only said that Yan Yingyuan and others secretly framed the emperor with chronic poison to kill Zhu Cixuan in order to be a hero of Long.

This statement becomes more and more popular, and the people who are still immersed in the joy of victory are covered with shadows. Especially in the Jiangnan region, there are frequent changes. The Zheng family father and son in Fujian, Sun Kewang in Sichuan, and Mu Tianbo in Yunnan all claimed to investigate the case and find the murderer who killed the emperor.

These people are ready to move, and An**’s arrogant soldiers and generals don’t care even more. Even the Tartars have been eliminated, and they will still care about these messaging. The generals have jointly issued a letter to ask Gu Zhenhua to ascend the throne immediately, send large troops to attack the unjust officials, and unify the world.

The clouds of war are getting bigger and bigger, and the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger. Faced with this situation, Gu Zhenhua seems extremely silent. In addition to daily government affairs, he will keep any notes about the throne.

After waiting for half a month, Gu Zhenhua suddenly announced that he would sacrifice to the fallen soldiers. In the drizzle, Gu Zhenhua came to the newly completed Loyal and Martyr Memorial Hall.

The black and white stone tablets are engraved with the names of soldiers who have died in the country, and tell the cruel battles. It is the efforts of these people that have brought about today's victory.

Standing in front of the ancestral hall, Gu Zhenhua's face was particularly solemn.

"Soldiers and brothers, you will fight with me in the south and north. For peace in the world, you will have blood and sweat, and countless brothers and feet have been buried under the ground. Today, the threat of the Tartars has been temporarily eliminated, and we can enjoy peace. This peace is exchanged for these brothers with their lives. It is extremely precious. I cannot bear to destroy it easily, nor dare to destroy it. I want to let this peace last forever."

"How can this country be stable for a long time and how can it break out of the circle of rise, decline and chaos? It is nothing more than power restrictions. In the past, all people in the world were restricted, but the emperor did not. Because of this, officials with holy families could do whatever they wanted, and tyrant ministers would cause trouble to the world. People have been persuaded to advance these days, so that I ascend the throne and become emperor, and give up great responsibilities. It is not allowed to do it. However, I, an emperor, are different from the past. First, I will not do it for a lifetime, and at most twenty years, I will abdicate and give up power. All princes start practicing literature and martial arts at the age of five, join the army at the age of fifteen, and go to the local and even overseas to experience it at the age of twenty. After passing many tests, they can ascend the throne. If the descendants are not worthy of their lords, then all power can be allocated to the cabinet. The emperor is only a symbol of the country, and the real king is!"

Gu Zhenhua's words were particularly powerful. Every word hit everyone's hearts. Especially the generals standing in the front row were all cold, and these warriors who were not afraid of swords and axes were trembling all over at this time.

In fact, they are not allowed to be afraid. Just when Gu Zhenhua first entered the city, they took the initiative to persuade him to enter. Who has no selfishness? If he thinks what Huang Zongxi and the others have discussed, even the imperial power will be restricted. How can these people be granted a wife and a son, and how can they pass on wealth and honor to their families?

Therefore, they hoped that Gu Zhenhua would forget these things, quickly ascend the throne, and then be awarded the title of heroes. Everyone was very happy.

But I didn't know that Gu Zhenhua not only did not forget to restrict the imperial power, but his methods became more intense, and even the emperor's term was set. The training of the prince was extremely strict, avoiding the emergence of a foolish monarch to the greatest extent, and granting the cabinet power. These were all things that I could not imagine. Gu Zhenhua actually did it. Everyone opened their mouths and let the rain fall in, as if they were wooden people.

Gu Zhenhua was excited and continued, "Brothers, win peace with their lives. If I am obsessed with profit, I only think about the blessings of each family and the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five with golden words, I am sorry for the lives of these brothers. An** is not the An** of Gu Zhenhua alone, but the Divine Needle for the people of the world! Don't forget your mission at any time!"

"We will remember it in our hearts by following His Majesty's teachings!"

In addition to those generals, the soldiers at the bottom were truly convinced. They followed a trustworthy leader and a person who valued the life of a soldier more than a dragon throne. Even if they shed all their blood in this life, they would have no regrets!

"Long live my emperor!"

“…Long live…”

The cheers resounded throughout the capital. Gu Zhenhua officially announced his ascension to the throne three days later, and the new emperor was unique as soon as he came up. Without the national name, only China, and without the year name, the year was recorded by Huangdi. The most amazing thing is that even eunuchs were abolished, and all female officials were used in the palace. He also took the initiative to order the kneeling ceremony to abolish. In the future, no one needs to kowtow when seeing the emperor, but just bow.

After ascending the throne, Gu Zhenhua immediately ordered Chen Qianfu and Yan Yingyuan to enter Beijing to form a cabinet and establish the first responsible cabinet of the Chinese Empire.

As the saying goes, the new official takes office three times, Gu Zhenhua's various actions have exceeded everyone's expectations, and the people in the world are dizzy.

However, after Huang Zongxi and others who had been under house arrest received the news, they were so happy. Gu Zhenhua did not lie to them. On the contrary, this king was even more perfect than they expected.

The real truth of the Xujun is actually more difficult than the ancient abdication. A powerful founding monarch can actually take the initiative to share power, and his mind is simply beyond the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

Gu Zhenhua's prestige reached its peak in an instant, and the storm caused by Zhu Cilang's death disappeared in an instant. All the literati were looking forward to witnessing unprecedented times.

Chen Qianfu and Yan Yingyuan were both cautious people. Facing Gu Zhenhua in a dragon robe, their palms were sweating.

"Your Majesty, if you don't think about it anymore, maybe there is a more suitable candidate!"

"Hahaha, Prime Minister, second prime minister, don't refuse. It is not me who appoints you, but the common people of the nine provinces and tens of thousands of places. You should make them live a better life!"

Chen Qianfu and Yan Yingyuan looked at each other and nodded together: "Please rest assured by your Majesty!"

Gu Zhenhua personally handed over the ministerial seal to them, and the complete reform of the Chinese Empire began.

Every five years, Chen Qianfu and Yan Yingyuan served for two ten years. In these ten years, it was the ten years when China came out of the ruins and moved towards prosperity.

The economy of Jiangnan and Jiangbei was integrated together, and the local forces in Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou were washed away. Li Xu, Guo Yunlong, Huang Degong, Sun Cheng and other four generals took turns to go deep into the grasslands and attacked the Tartars.

In the past ten years, he captured 500,000 descendants of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, completely exterminated his clan, and plundered more than 1.7 million Mongolian tribes, all of which were used as coolies in the southwest. The four generals were named kings for their outstanding achievements, but their fiefs were all in the vast Siberian region. If they wanted to be princes, they had to fight with the Russians who were rolling eastward.

In addition, Gu Zhenhua focused on expanding his power in North Korea and Japan. Lu Mingyue took charge of the leadership. He organized North Korean soldiers to land in Japan three times, seized Kyushu Island, and then landed in the state. During the ten years, he slaughtered countless Japanese pirates. For the sake of expedition, North Korea also lost more than one-third of its household registration. With more and more intermarriages, these two places gradually included in the territory of China.

As for the southeast, Chen Tingyang, Deng Wenhuan and other naval generals organized their way south one after another, first regaining Taiwan, and then seizing Luzon. They even became involved in the East Indies.

Although the Westerners tried their best to reject China's southward movement, they were out of reach. Once the Central Plains dynasty decided to move south, they would have no chance at all.

Just ten years after Gu Zhenhua ascended the throne, Chen Tingyang organized 300,000 navy to fight south, seized Malacca and drove Western colonial forces out of Southeast Asia.

Then Xie Bin led 8,000 troops and after a difficult journey, he invaded South Asia from the Pamir Plateau, opening the starting point for colonizing South Asia and enslaving Asan.

After Chen Qianfu resigned from the prime minister, Zhu Chenghai, who had outstanding political achievements, took over. At this time, the cabinet constraints of the Chinese Empire became more and more complete. Even if he left Gu Zhenhua's control, he could still operate smoothly.

Zhu Chenghai divided the focus of his work into two parts, and took measures to enrich the people internally. In addition to encouraging industry and commerce, he imposed high taxes on large merchants and subsidized areas with backward subsidies.

They focused on seizing territory and expanding the market from the outside, and a large number of outstanding generals and rookies of the Guards got the opportunity to lead troops. They seized the uninhibited land in the South Ocean, and even extended their hands to the coastal areas of South Asia, West Asia, East Africa, etc., and established a series of colonial strongholds, just like pearl chains, and included the vast land within the scope of China.

Zhu Chenghai also had an important measure, which was to organize a fleet of ten thousand people to enter the waters of Europe for the first time. The whole of Europe was shocked by the powerful China, with exquisite commodities and powerful force, and became the most favorable arm of China.

In a blink of an eye, Zhu Chenghai's second term reached its last day, but everyone's eyes did not care about this prime minister with outstanding meritoriousness. They were all looking at their monarch. The twenty-year agreement had arrived. Can Gu Zhenhua truly abdicate and fulfill his original promise!

Although Gu Zhenhua rarely expresses his opinions, everyone knows that the ultimate power of the empire is still in the hands of this founding emperor, which is a fact that no one can change.

Compared to those who raised their hearts to their throats, Gu Zhenhua was particularly relaxed. He chose a sunny weekend and brought Queen Mei Junruo with him. The whole family came to the front of the newly completed building and stood on the platform. In front of them were two parallel railway tracks. A ten-chamber train was quietly parked on it.

Gu Zhenhua held the women's hands and sat in the spacious carriage. The boiler threw black coal into the fiery red furnace.

Accompanied by the sound of whistles, the train slowly started and headed towards Tianjin.

There were sounds of sounds running on the railroad tracks. The women and children all stared at each other, almost unable to believe that without a cow or a horse, such a long iron guy could rush on the ground, faster than the best war horse, and more perseverance than the old cow.

The carriage was filled with amazing amazement!

Gu Zhenhua looked at the scenery flashing quickly outside the window and showed a proud smile: "China has embarked on the express train of industrialization. Entering the industrial era, the national strength has increased by a hundred times. Does the West still have a chance? Leaving his century-old shame, China will rule the world for ten thousand years!"
