After reciting the memorial text, there is still the most important step.
Zhu Yang wanted to consecrate Zhu Yuanzhang as a god.
In Zhu Yang's view, considering Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements in restoring the unification of the Han Dynasty, it is not too much to be bestowed upon any god.
However, Zhu Yang was not sure whether it could be sealed successfully.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang has been dead for more than two hundred years.
Moreover, for Sun Fengzu, this kind of thing is easy to do but not easy to say.
Therefore, Zhu Yang just had the idea to use his luck value to seal Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
With a sudden sound, the luck value was reduced by a million.
Before Zhu Yang silently recited the title of the god, suddenly there was a huge golden light above the Xiaoling Mausoleum, thousands of auspicious colors, and two figures appeared in front of everyone in the mid-air.
Anyone who has seen the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang immediately exclaimed: "Emperor Taizu."
In an instant, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed.
Especially for Ming Dynasty ministers like Gu Yanwu, his eyes were filled with tears and he was inexplicably excited.
Even Jinling City, which is more than ten miles away, saw this kind of strange phenomenon.
The people of Jinling were no strangers to Zhu Yuanzhang, so when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang actually appearing in mid-air, there was no reason not to kowtow.
Suddenly, the entire Jinling people bowed in the direction of Xiaoling.
Zhu Yang was also a little surprised, because he hadn't said what kind of gods he would confer on Zhu Yuzhang and Queen Ma.
Perhaps because of the public sentiment, Zhu Yuanzhang understood the current situation in the world as soon as he appeared.
The founding emperor couldn't help but look angry and sad.
The descendants are so unfilial that they let a group of dogs take away the great country that they had gained.
Zhu Yang bowed and said: "The unworthy descendants of this generation, Zhu Yihuang, pay homage to our ancestors."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yang: "Which of our sons are you a descendant of?"
Zhu Yang said: "The king is the ancestor of the boy."
"Descendants of Thirteen?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, you have a bit of our style. You are a descendant of the old Zhu family."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Yang: "Boy, what do you want to do by bringing us out? You don't want me to help you conquer the world."
"Grandpa is joking. I have to fight in this world myself. I just want to make a god for my grandfather and grandma to show my filial piety."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing: "Boy, we appreciate your filial piety, but your grandma and I don't want to do anything to trouble you. If you can restore the Ming Dynasty, it is the greatest filial piety. As for
Grandma You and I should sleep peacefully in this Xiaoling Mausoleum."
Hearing this, Zhu Yang said anxiously: "Grandpa, why are you doing this? If you become a god, you can live forever, and then you can watch this kid restore the Ming Dynasty and continue my Chinese legacy. Isn't it good?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "My grandfather and your grandmother have had enough life long ago. Immortality is torture for both of us."
Zhu Yang was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually right in what he said.
Because all the people he knew were dead, so what if Queen Ma was with him?
Moreover, gods are different from humans after all, and they cannot appear in the mortal world for a long time.
As for letting Zhu Yuanzhang do the work, Zhu Yang had no such idea.
Seeing Zhu Yang's silence, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Okay, boy, originally we were very angry when we saw the world today, but now that we have a descendant like you, we won't be angry anymore. I believe that,
You will definitely be able to restore our Ming Dynasty, and you will also be a good emperor in the future, that is enough."
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly became serious, and he used his last divine power to make a loud voice: "I am Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. I am the queen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yihuang. I have a noble character. I am deeply grateful to you, and I will be able to bear the great responsibility."
Tong, I hope that all the ministers will assist you with all your heart to restore the Ming Dynasty, and I will also protect you and others under Jiuquan, and I can announce it to the sea, so that the messengers will hear about it."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other, then their bodies disappeared into the air.
Good guy, he is indeed Zhu Yuanzhang. What he said completely established the legitimacy of Zhu Yang's succession to the throne of Ming Emperor.
After becoming the king, is the position incorrect?
Is there anything more correct than Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial edict?
This was promulgated under the witness of more than one million people in Jinling. There is nothing more correct than this.
At this point, Zhu Yang's biggest obstacle to becoming emperor was gone.
No matter who comes now, they can't shake the legitimacy of Zhu Yang's throne.
Zhu Yang's purpose of worshiping Xiaoling can be said to have been exceeded.
Not only did he declare his ambition to restore Taizu's family business and restore the Ming Dynasty, but he also comforted his ancestors.
Gu Yanwu was worried that the chaos of the three dynasties of the Southern Ming Dynasty competing for the throne would never happen again in Zhu Yang.
As long as word of what happened today spreads, people who have the Ming Dynasty in their hearts will flock to Jinling to work for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhu Yang lost one million in luck, he didn't feel bad at all.
Not only because Zhu Yuanzhang satisfied his rationality for proclaiming himself emperor, but mainly because seeing the demeanor of Emperor Zhu made his trip worthwhile.
To be honest, Zhu Yang was not worried at all about whether it was reasonable or not to be emperor.
If anyone is dissatisfied, just beat him until he is convinced. With his current cultivation level, which is comparable to that of an immortal, Zhu Yang would have gone north to kill Kang directly if he was not afraid that if he were to kill the Qing Dynasty all at once, order would collapse in some places and the people would suffer.
Mazi and the Manchu nobles were served in one pot.
The main reason is that the strength of the Taiping Army has not kept up.
The military is not worried, the most important thing is the civil service.
There are too few people available.
The reason is that Confucianism is rotten.
In other words, the literati who studied Confucianism are bad. Of course, this does not mean that there are no good ones, but there are too few.
The next step is for Zhu Yang to carry out reforms.
As for the conquest, Xu Dingchuan and others can just be responsible for it.
Zhu Yang wanted to carry out reforms within the entire jurisdiction of the Taiping Army.
Including but not limited to reforming official administration, imperial examination system, land system, military system, Confucianism, etc.
Now is the best time. The territory of a province and the population of more than 10 million are just enough for Zhu Yang to use it.
As long as the reform is successful and a large number of suitable scholars and officials are cultivated, Zhu Yang will be able to sweep the whole of China, realize the great cause of unifying China and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
It happened that Zhu Yuanzhang appeared and cast a golden body over Zhu Yang.
No one can restrict Zhu Yang by saying that the ancestral system cannot be easily changed.
Of course, those with vested interests will definitely fight back stubbornly. It depends on whose fist is stronger. Anyone who refuses to accept will be chopped off. This is what Zhu Yuanzhang did.
Zhu Yang planned to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang and let them experience the fear of the Hongwu Dynasty.
At this point, the worship at Xiaoling was completed. Zhu Yang, who returned to Jinling, immediately summoned Yiying Wenwu to discuss matters.
He wanted to learn more about the current situation in Jiangsu and then arrange reforms.
There is another question, that is whether Zhu Yang should proclaim himself emperor.
Without Zhu Yuanzhang's approval before, Zhu Yang would have some troubles if he proclaimed himself emperor.
Now, with Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, proclaiming himself emperor is on the agenda.
