Chapter 385 Cumbersome Etiquette
In the past month, the capital has gathered hundreds of thousands of people, with a large number of people coming and going, so it is inevitable that it will be a very detailed work.
The two people in the inn came from the Southern Ming Dynasty. The founding ceremony of the Great Xia Capital was open to everyone, and detailed works everywhere are naturally indispensable.
Not only the Southern Ming, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, as well as the remaining bandits from all sides, and the eyes and ears of the major officials and gentry in the Central Plains gathered at the Daxia Gate, secretly observing the movements of the Xia army in the capital.
The Xia Kingdom is powerful and mysterious, and it will inevitably make people afraid.
In particular, Li Zicheng and Nanming controlled this place before the Xia Kingdom occupied the capital.
There are also many spies left behind, so we have to observe the situation in the capital at all times. To put it bluntly, there are still other thoughts.
However, the two fake peddlers in the inn saw the momentum of the Xia army during the day, and their legs were still trembling until now...
"Don't be too panicked."
After a long time, one of them spoke slowly and seemed much calmer.
"How do you say this?"
The other asked quickly.
"According to recent observations, the King of Northern Xia was arrogant and arrogant. Since entering the capital, he has never appeased the remaining ministers of the previous dynasty.
This behavior is even more excessive than the original Li Chuang.
Now there is no support from gentry in the Central Plains, no matter how strong the army is, it is just a flash in the pan!”
The speaker said carefully, saying word by word.
In the eyes of these two Jiangnan Xiaozu, although the army of Xia Kingdom was strong, it was one thing that could not compare to their Southern Ming emperor, that is, King Xia was not as good as Zhu Yousong.
At least from the current situation, gentry from all over the north of the Yangtze River surrendered to the Xia Kingdom on the surface, and few people dared to complain, but countless people were worried secretly.
"good!
This king of Xia State is too young.
He acted in a state of urgency and completely ignored the ideas of scholars from all over the world.
The families of ministers who were suppressed in the capital all complained, and many people secretly contacted Jiangnan. In time, if all of these can be used for our Nanming, they can also loosen the foundation of Xia Kingdom..."
The two discussed and their mentality gradually returned to stability. They were both Zhu Yousong's confidants, and their psychological quality was naturally too ordinary. I believe that the world will always return to the hands of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
The same scenes were staged in various remote corners of the capital.
The soldiers of Xia Kingdom did not seem to have deliberately supervised them, allowing people from all sides to flow in and out, so as to spread the situation in the capital all over the world.
......
Henan.
A famine area near Jiangbei.
Due to the timely transportation of food and grass, the disaster in this area has been relieved a lot.
If we follow the normal historical trajectory, the disaster in the heart of the Central Plains will reach its peak in one or two years.
However, the cause of the disaster is not because of the climate, but instead turns from natural disasters to man-made disasters.
After the capital was destroyed, the later rulers could have long seen that the fundamental solution to the disaster in the late Ming Dynasty was to make people lose less.
If more people die, the problem of land will naturally be solved, and the remaining people will be able to eat enough.
After the Qing army entered the pass, the Central Plains region was stable year by year, and because the population was sharply reduced year by year, the population was small, and the turmoil could not continue.
The Central Plains has been in turmoil for years, and countless casualties have been killed or injured.
Li Zicheng and the warlords in the late Ming Dynasty helped the Qing Dynasty to lay the groundwork. After entering the pass, it would be almost the same if another group of people died...
Looking at the moment, the Xia Kingdom has entered the pass, unlike the Qing army, which has not eliminated too many lower-level populations, but has helped the people survive the entire winter.
The refugees who were originally put to death by Li Zicheng survived the cold winter and formed a new confrontation force. The people who survived in Henan no longer had too much feelings for Li Chuang.
It also brought scientific and technological achievements to this land, providing moderate material support, opening up people's wisdom, and allowing China to use technology to solve the disasters encountered in the future.
Henan survived the wasteland and ushered in the spring plowing of the new year.
At the same time, technicians from the Ministry of Agriculture of Xiaguo also went south to provide scientific guidance on farming in various places in Henan, and called it the "Warm Spring Action".
In fact, according to the situation of the Little Ice Age, it is like God's urging mankind to move towards a technological route.
But who knew that China behind us took the wrong path...
Wuyou behind Liu Qingfeng was leading more than 20,000 people to approach Xiangyang.
Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom was too weak. He heard from a distance that Sun Kewang was defeated and ran to Shu with his 200,000 troops. The remaining troops were cut off and he was unwilling to come out...
.
The Daxi Kingdom, which was entrenched in Huguang, collapsed without fighting, leaving only Zuo Liangyu and Liu Qingfeng to divide the land on both sides of the Yangtze River.
......
The Forbidden City at this time.
Lu Zhou is still "struggle" physically and mentally exhausted
The throne ceremony lasted for more than ten days, but it still had no intention of stopping.
Lu Zhou no longer remembers how many rituals he had experienced. Recently, a new batch of palace maids were recruited in the palace, and there was no time to observe them carefully.
The emperor, as he, gets up earlier than the chicken every day, but sleeps later than anyone else.
I think the etiquette in ancient times was extremely complicated. If you didn’t do a full set of things, the ministers under your command would feel uncomfortable.
It was still dark at this time, and the bright starlight in the sky had just set, and even the sun had not yet risen.
The ministers were already excitedly standing in the forest of the Temple of Heaven, waiting for the new emperor here.
With the help of Ula, Lu Zhou slowly walked towards the Temple of Heaven at Yongding Gate.
In fact, he could walk by himself, but the "dress" on his body was extremely complicated. Wula nodded and bowed to serve him, so she didn't step on the corner of her clothes and walked step by step towards the steps ahead.
Lu Zhou glanced around gently. It turned out to be the Temple of Heaven in Ming Dynasty. The entire altar was destroyed by the rebel army before, and now it has been repaired and cleaned up completely, but the basic decoration structure has not changed, and it is entirely based on the etiquette.
Prompt...
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bell.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!"
The ritual officer in the rear whispered.
"knew!"
Lu Zhou responded, took a long breath, and his clear and black eyes were full of determination.
The steady performance of the new emperor made the ministers begin to be full of confidence in the future, and they all stared at the Temple of Heaven.
This was the last item of the throne ceremony. With the grand and grand musical sounds, the ritual officials told the God of Heaven, advocating the virtues of the ancestors of the Lu family and the achievements of the new emperor.
After singing and drinking without pause, it was already noon until the bell rang again.
The ministers knelt down again and shouted long live.
A smile finally appeared on Lu Zhou's face. This tedious and tedious ceremony of the throne was finally completed...
......
After dozens of days of hustle and bustle, Beijing City gradually returned to peace.
All the officials performed their duties.
Forbidden City.
Lu Zhou is reviewing Xia Guo’s development plan for the next three years, and someone comes in to report:
Chapter completed!
